Chapter 1041 The Record of Enmity and Enmity (Part 2)
Ding Kui has the affection of the Siren Emperor in him. Although He Lian Yu has not yet reached the ninth level of cultivation, she can still sense that Ding Kui is scolding her, whether it is verbally or mentally.
Of course, Shaodianzhi couldn't tell what Ding Kui was thinking, and continued: "The Senate also has difficulties. Recently, many families have made contributions in supporting the country, and they think that the upgrade of the Protector to the third-grade Protector still lacks contribution."
He found that Ding Kui's expression had not changed, and he probably would not resist his persuasion, so he spoke more straightforwardly and revealed the purpose of his trip.
"If the Ding family can win over the original elder family, or lead the eighth legion to support the father, then the Senate will definitely be promoted to Lord Protector through the Lord Protector, and will even consider giving the Ding family the position of elder."
This is the price offered by Shao Dianyong, and Ding Kui has a choice.
The basic condition is to recognize Shaodian Yong as the legitimate king of Shaodian Kingdom. The advantage is to restore the Ding family's original status and rights in the kingdom, and to be the commander of the staff and the commander of the bodyguard group.
A further condition is to win over the Jiang family or the Long family to join Shaodian Yong. With the relationship between the Ding family and those two families, it is possible to succeed. The advantage is that the hereditary marquis of the Ding family will become a hereditary duke, the kind of orthodox duke with a territory.
.
On the basis of fulfilling the previous condition and allowing the Eighth Legion to revolt anyway, the Ding family can join the ranks of the top ten elders of the Senate on the basis of the previous benefit.
"Don't forget, I am the brother-in-law of the current king. Any rights and status you want can be earned with my own hands. Why should I betray the court and join you?" Ding Kui interrupted Shao Dianzhi's words.
There was a flash of anger in Shao Dianzhi's eyes, and he said that for a long time, people still thought that he was a rebel, and that the little king in Zhenjing City was the orthodox one.
However, the reality is that Ding Kui owns a city, has tens of thousands of soldiers at his disposal, and his wife is the king's sister. As for his relationship with several major domestic families and his influence in the military, etc., compared to
The commander-in-chief who guards a state will not be much different.
Even if the rebels captured the capital and Shaodian Yong officially controlled most of the Shaodian Kingdom, Ding Kui would still have the strength to compete with him.
"My uncle's words are wrong. Our ancestor was the legitimate heir to the throne back then. If your ancestor had not supported your ancestor's succession, he would not have been brutally murdered. Now the king in Zhenjing City and the late king are the ones who betrayed the court. Father comes out
Succession to the throne is about putting order out of chaos and tracing back to the original source."
Shao Dianzhi realized that the task was arduous but was not discouraged. Now that he was able to communicate with Ding Kui, he at least had a chance to convince him.
"Who can say clearly what happened two generations ago? The previous king has been in power for twenty years, and everything that is not orthodox has become orthodox. Some realities cannot be changed, even if I don't want to admit it in my heart.
The biggest problem now is that the late king died in an assassination, and Prince Yinsha comes out to fight for the throne at this time, which inevitably makes people have bad suspicions. Even if it is orthodox, it has become unorthodox, whether I want to admit it or not.
"Listen to me," Ding Kui stood up to stop Shaodianzhi who wanted to interrupt, "I don't care who is the king. The Ding family protects Shaodian Kingdom and the subjects who support the kingdom. Only the court recognized by the majority of the subjects is the orthodoxy in my heart."
.”
"Does my uncle not care about the humiliation suffered by the Ding family? Does he ignore the orthodoxy of the royal family that firmly stands with the Ding family?" Shao Dianzhi repeatedly reminded Shao Dianji of his origins with the Ding family.
"I will wash away the humiliation suffered by the Ding family. If I hadn't thought of the friendship between you and our family, I would have arrested you long ago. Even though there are two masters protecting you, I can call four or five at any time.
Do you believe it or not? There are still seven thousand of my subordinates in the military camp in the city. If I had the intention to keep you, you would not be able to leave the city of Kada."
Shao Dianzhi said with a dark face: "Are you threatening me?"
"How can you threaten me? I'll teach you a lesson, and Shao Dianyong won't say anything! In terms of personal relationship, your father is my eldest brother. It's only natural that I help my eldest brother teach his son a lesson." Ding Kui's fingers touched Shao Dianzhi's nose.
Up.
There is nothing wrong with this. If Shao Dianyong wants to call Ding "uncle", it is reasonable for Ding Kui to call him "eldest brother". When Shao Dianzhi comes here, he will call Ding Kui "uncle".
"You!" Shao Dianzhi tilted his head back subconsciously to avoid Ding Kui's fingers, "As for personal relations, uncle should not ignore the kindness of his father. Although Shao Dianfeng is your brother-in-law, it does not mean that he is your brother-in-law.
He will trust you.
If the current rulers of the imperial court trusted you, they would not have allowed you and your aunt to stay in the Great Sheep City, nor would they have sent the Eighth Legion south. Without the invasion of our own country, they would not have allowed you to take charge of the army again, knowing full well that you were promoted to the Dominion Knight.
I won’t let you take command of the Eighth Army yet.”
He really did not dare to fall out with Ding Kui in Kada City. After entering Nanqiu County, he heard about Hengfu City's resistance to his own army. It was a fact that Ding Kui had several masters under his command. The 74th Division had 7,000 men in the city.
It is also true that the arrogant guy in front of him is a powerful master.
If his identity were exposed here, it would lead to endless pursuit. Ding Kui would not be able to leave Nanma Prefecture unless he turned against him. He still had this bit of self-awareness.
"That's not a gift from Lord Bailing. If he had been tougher and sacrificed his family to break out of the siege, you wouldn't have had to come here to lobby me. Of course, you still have to say whether he did or not."
Ding Kui was very angry, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became.
"I grew up in a broken mountain village. Where is your father?"
"Has your family sent anyone to see me?"
"If it's not convenient to contact us, you can always send some gifts to express your feelings during the holidays."
"Did the late king not allow you to attend my wedding?"
"In my opinion, you Shaodian clan are all the same no matter which lineage you have, no one will care about us chess pieces!"
Every time he said something, Shao Dianzhi's face turned from black to redder, and by the end of the sentence, Shao Dianzhi's face turned purple.
"Father knew that he had not done well enough over the years, so he specially sent me to improve the relationship between the two families. You know that I came with sincerity." Shao Dianzhi hinted that Ding Kui had just given him a gift.
"Of course, I welcome you if you come with sincerity," Ding Kui quickly returned to normal, "I will definitely give you a chance to change your ways and show more sincerity in the future."
"What is an opportunity to change your self-confidence?" Shao Dianzhi thought to himself, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Since the court doesn't trust me, I don't care about the grudges between the court and you. Based on the friendship between the two families, I won't betray you, but you have to be careful not to reveal your whereabouts, otherwise you will get me into trouble." Ding Kui doesn't care about Shao Dianzhi.
What would you think?
He clearly saw the general situation of Shaodian Kingdom, and neither the imperial court nor Shaodian Yong could do anything to the other in the short term.
The one with money, land and people is the boss. The two major groups will compete to win over each other. Those who cannot be roped in for the time being cannot be offended, otherwise they will be pushed to the enemy.
Ding Kui has grown up to this day and has become the eldest among the eldest men. He is a decisive force in Shaodian. I dare not say that I can help anyone win, but at least it can increase the chips for one party to win.
After traveling thousands of miles to come here and even giving him a piece of precious fire jade, how could Shao Dianzhi be willing to just get a chance to "reform his mistakes"?
"The little king in the capital will not sit back and let you stay aloof. The court will definitely force you to become an enemy of your father. So what will you do?"
He hoped that Ding Kui would make it clear that he was not an enemy of Shao Dianyong, so that he could have an explanation when he returned.
"I will not accept the order of the foreign king. Even if the imperial court wants to transfer me back to the capital, it still depends on whether I agree. I can use the threat of my country to stay in Nanzhao Prefecture.
Let's do this, I can make an agreement with you that the Eighth Army will not leave Nanzhao Prefecture in the next year and will not attack you." Ding Kui finally gave him some sweetness.
This was actually because he borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha. He had already made an agreement with He Lianyu to send troops to his country to contain him.
"What about one year later?" Shaodianzhi was still not satisfied.
"It depends on your sincerity within this year. Maybe you have captured Zhenjing City, won the recognition of the world, and become the orthodox member of the Shaodian royal family. I will lead the eighth legion to surrender and protect the capital on behalf of the Shaodian family.
It is also possible that you will be eliminated by the imperial court in a year, or be forced back to Silver Sand Island, and there will be no need for me to fight against you. The world is changing very fast, and many things can happen in one year, so don’t think too much about it for the time being."
Seeing that he could not convince Ding Kui, Shao Dianzhi had to find another plan and suggested: "Then let's sign a contract."
"You can't trust me? Or do you want to give me a reason to blackmail me? I, Ding Kui, keep my word!" Ding Kui showed an impatient expression.
The words were made clear, and Shao Dianzhi was unable to ask for another contract, so he had to high-five Ding Kui. It was not bad to get a guarantee that he would not be threatened by the Eighth Army within a year. No army in the Shaodianyong Group dared to say that it could compete head-on with the Eighth Army.
Legion, one year is enough time for a lot of things to happen, and Ding Kui may not necessarily be their enemy after one year.
"You leave immediately, and I will secretly escort you out of the city."
Ding Kui did not want to take refuge in Shao Dianyong, nor did he want Shao Dianzhi to cause trouble on his territory. In any case, Ding Dao and Shao Dianji had an alliance, and he and Shao Dianyong's family were neither friends nor enemies.
Shao Dianzhi appeared on Ding Kui's territory. When news spread to the capital, I didn't know what the people in the court would think. It was just mud falling into their crotch, which means it was either shit or shit.
After seeing Ding Kui and reaching a favorable agreement, Shao Dianzhi had no need to stay. Although he had a way to leave, it would be safer with Ding Kui's escort. After he agreed, he immediately went out to gather his entourage, packed his luggage and prepared to leave.
Ding Kui asked Shao Dianzhi for something, then locked himself in a room and changed his makeup, pretending to be a porter carrying luggage, and sneaked into Shao Dianzhi's team.
"My uncle's disguise skills are really top-notch. My nephew can't recognize him at all." If Shao Dianzhi hadn't known about it in advance, he wouldn't have been able to tell that the porter in front of him was Ding Kui.
"Let's go, I'll follow from behind."
Ding Kui was walking at the end of the team, and his attention was attracted by a man with his whole face covered. Judging from the man's sharp eyes and clean hands, he was a great archer.
