Chapter 383: The family and country can be destroyed, and the world can be destroyed
prime minister's residence, living room
"Master Chu's chariots and horses are really hard to find, and I am eager to see them." The prime minister was very polite and courteous to Chu Qianqiu.
Bu Jin waited at the door and personally invited him into the mansion. He didn't even need to untie him, put down his weapons, and allowed his guards to enter with their swords.
This standard of hospitality has reached its pinnacle.
Due to the existence of martial arts, the mansions of the powerful are all standard deep palaces with high walls, and visits between nobles are also extremely troublesome.
Strict weapons and equipment inspections are required, and even the number of personal guards is strictly limited.
Otherwise, if the enemy has ulterior motives and sneaks into the mansion, what will happen if something goes wrong?
Just like this time Li Mingde came to visit Chu Qianqiu. Normally, he would have to notify Chu Qianqiu in advance. After checking at all levels and confirming that there were no problems, he would leave his sword behind before he could go in.
The Chu family compound had just landed, and there was no time to adjust the etiquette, so he let Li Mingde come in directly. Later, it happened that Prince Xu led people to invade the Chu family compound. He was so frightened that he quickly dropped his sword, fearing that he would be misunderstood as an accomplice and beheaded him directly.
He was killed without even a chance to appeal.
Therefore, for nobles, the highest standard of courtesy is to allow guests to carry weapons and personal guards.
This represents absolute trust. Generally speaking, only ally families who are particularly familiar with and have frequent contacts can enjoy this kind of treatment.
"The prime minister is too polite. How can a martial artist from Chu deserve such courtesy?"
Chu Qianqiu was secretly frightened when he was escorted to the living room of the Prime Minister's Mansion in such a luxurious manner. He had already learned many times in Linghu City about Prime Minister Wang Ji's methods.
It has to be said that he is an old fox with many years of experience, and the methods he uses can be regarded as eighteen kinds of martial arts. If you don't have a golden finger, you can't find out what he is doing at all. When his backhand breaks out, I am afraid it will cause heavy damage to the Shenwei Army.
blow.
Now that such an old fox is so polite, he must have ulterior motives.
"Master Chu deserves it, he deserves it." The prime minister smiled like a proud old fox and said while stroking his beard.
"You taught Prince Xu a lesson, killed the Seven Hazards of Shangjing, and even defeated Xu Zishuang, the Saint of Zhishan Academy."
"The whole capital was shocked. Even His Majesty and the Queen Mother were asking how the Divine Power Army could teach such a genius."
"One thing you might as well tell Mr. Chu. If Mr. Chu hadn't already been married, there would be no wealthy family in Beijing who wouldn't want to betroth their daughter to Mr. Chu."
"Even I have some thoughts and want to make Master Chu and Your Majesty a brother-in-law." The Prime Minister said with a smile.
Of course these are all polite words.
Who is serious and who is stupid.
Even if Chu Qianqiu is not married, he is from the Shenwei Army. He may rebel one day and be completely liquidated.
What is humorous is that the reason why the Shenwei Army has been able to maintain its focus for a long time is precisely because of this concern.
The circle of nobles in Shangjing has almost no marriage relationship with the Shenwei Army in Lingzhou, while there are many Shenwu and Shence armies.
Because they were worried about the rebellion of the Divine Power Army, they used less marriage methods. Because there were fewer marriage relationships, the independence tendency of the Divine Power Army became more obvious.
A very obvious vicious cycle.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you have given me such a compliment. The legitimate daughter of the Wang family is worthy of Tianhuang. How can Chu be worthy of her?"
"Come here this time——" Chu Qianqiu was about to change the topic and bring the topic to General Long, but the Prime Minister interrupted him directly.
"I always tell the truth."
"The Queen Mother did send someone to ask, if Master Chu is willing, he can take charge of the Shenwu Army in the future."
"If you have made great achievements, you can be conferred the title of Duke. It's not a big deal."
What did you say?
Chu Qianqiu was not only shocked, but simply shocked.
"Prime Minister, don't be joking."
"Indeed." The Prime Minister looked directly at Chu Qianqiu without hesitation.
"I promise nothing but gold, and the Queen Mother also agrees."
"If Mr. Chu is willing, he will be granted the title of Duke and be in charge of the Shenwu Army in the future. He will be hereditary and will not be replaced."
What a big bait, what a big courage.
It seems that I still underestimate you.
Chu Qianqiu believed in the court's current sincerity. As long as Chu Qianqiu defected to the court, the leader of the Shenwei Army would become a traitor, which would have a strong psychological effect.
As for taking charge of the Shenwu Army, it is just a bait.
If he was in charge of an army and only needed to be appointed by the court, then why would the court be afraid of a rebellion by the Shenwei Army?
To take charge of the army, you must first have your own team and your own cadres.
The adoptive father controls the Divine Power Army because he has enough adopted sons, adopted daughters, old subordinates, and personal guards to build a strong management team around him.
Yang Wanhu did such a thing, but he was not sentenced to death and was given a chance. This was obviously a way of caring for cadres.
Similarly, when Chu Qianqiu jumped to the side of the Shenwu Army, he was just a bare-bones soldier, and he had to fight with the Xu family's morale.
The imperial court has been adding sand to the Shenwei Army from time to time over the years, but it still hasn't achieved any results.
Even so, Chu Qianqiu was really surprised that the imperial court had such courage and skill.
No wonder Dean Yang of the College of Arts and Sciences is so unfavorable to the Shenwei Army's rebellion.
They are evil and corrupt, but they are still capable of suppressing the world. Unless these people are eliminated in rebellions one after another, the imperial court will still have the ability to control the world.
In the midst of the lightning, Chu Qianqiu thought clearly about the court's wooing strategy and took a deep breath.
"Thank you for your great love, Prime Minister."
"It's a pity that being unjust and getting rich and noble is like a floating cloud to me."
The Prime Minister did not expect to convince Chu Qianqiu with just a few words, but continued:
"Master Chu, I don't like doing those false things."
"Unless you completely defeat the Xu family and the Shenwei Army surrenders, the imperial court will always support you."
"You don't have to worry about being a mere commander."
""Huang Ji Lu" also has the opportunity for Master Chu to refer to, and even "Spring and Autumn Days" from Zhishan College."
The prime minister naturally understood the problem with this operation, which was that Chu Qianqiu was supported by Liu Dutong and the Huang family. Once he jumped out of control, his reputation would be ruined.
At that time, we can only rely on the court.
What's wrong with trusting such a person?
"The Prime Minister has forgotten one thing. The reason why the Shenwei Army has reached this point."
"Not for pure fame and fortune, but for justice."
Chu Qianqiu said very calmly.
He cherishes his reputation and does not want to be a slave of the third surname and become Lu Bu.
Even if it can be recycled, his martial arts will not go far if it goes against his will and original intention.
"Compared to the common people in the world, compared to the blessings of all blessings, is this matter very important?"
"There are always people who are going to be wronged. There are countless people who have been wronged in history."
"General Long's ending is good enough and merciful enough."
"When Daxia goes south, the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, and it is reduced to a Taoist land, will this be the fairness and justice of the Shenwei Army?"
The prime minister asked rhetorically.
"Maybe the prime minister is right."
"But we still have to do it."
Chu Qianqiu smiled and said, this was the first time he had the upper hand after entering the Prime Minister's Office.
"For this, the family and country can be destroyed, and the world can be destroyed."
"That's the difference between us."
"If the imperial court really cares about our country so much, why does it refuse to give it to us?"
Don't threaten me with all the people in the world, it's useless.
