Sun Sheng was suddenly startled. He chewed Emperor Meng's words carefully. He really didn't know if Emperor Meng really wanted to send Emperor Mu back according to the credentials. Now according to his intention, he might not be able to let him go. Sun Sheng
He didn't know what to do for a moment. After all, he was just a minister, and the man who ruled the world was standing in front of him.
"Okay, let's stop the discussion for today. We will leave the court first and discuss it tomorrow!" Emperor Meng said as he shook his sleeves and walked towards the harem.
Everyone was talking one after another, and they all filed out and gradually left the court. Only Li Su stood aside and looked at Sun Sheng carefully. Sun Sheng had something on his mind, and the look on his face was naturally not good-looking. Li Su left.
When he arrived in front of Sun Sheng, he deliberately coughed. Sun Sheng turned around and saw that it was Li Su. He immediately cupped his fists and saluted, "It turns out to be the Prime Minister. I didn't expect that you haven't left yet!"
Li Su stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Haha, yes, I have been observing Marshal Sun for a while. I saw the melancholy on Marshal's face. Are you still worried about what you just asked the emperor?"
Sun Sheng was stunned, was his performance so obvious?
Li Su continued: "Actually, I understand in my heart that the marshal was a soldier, and he cherished Emperor Mu's sympathy. He couldn't bear to see him die in a foreign land. He has been unhappy about this in his heart, hasn't he?"
Sun Sheng immediately covered it up and said: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, these words may be big or small. Don't talk nonsense. Please think clearly."
"Haha, since I dare to say it, I am sure of it, otherwise I would not be joking with my own life. Now I just want to confirm that what I said is the truth." Li Su suddenly had a halo in his eyes.
When Sun Sheng saw that there was no one on the other side, he looked at Li Su's expression of deep intention. He didn't know what his intention was, so he smiled and said: "Haha, Prime Minister Li has always been very discerning. So, if you are not in a hurry, can you
How about going out with me for a few drinks and chatting?"
Li Su smiled cunningly, "It just so happens that I, the Prime Minister, also have this intention. Then please!"
Sun Sheng bowed and said, "Haha, please come first, Prime Minister!"
The two people came to the restaurant, found a private room and sat down. The bartender brought the drinks and went down. Before leaving, he gently lowered the curtain. The two people looked at each other inside. Li Su smiled and asked: "It seems like Sun."
The marshal hasn't answered my question yet, and I don't know if he can say it now, but we are the ones here, there is no one else."
Sun Sheng picked up the wine glass and said, "Haha, why did the Prime Minister suddenly become interested in what I'm doing? I wonder if you can explain the reason for asking this question first. Your sudden question made me panic and I didn't even know how to answer.
You're an adult."
Li Su rolled his eyes and understood what Sun Sheng meant, and continued with a smile: "After all, Marshal Sun still doesn't believe me. In this case, in order to show my sincerity, I hereby make my intention clear."
Sun Sheng was stunned for a moment and continued to look at him. Li Su continued to ask: "Actually, I understand very well psychologically. You two have known each other for a long time. Although this time I captured Emperor Mu in one fell swoop and defeated the so-called farmer.
Jing He, in fact, in the eyes of Marshal Sun, Jing He is simply an insignificant person, but Emperor Mu mistrusted this person, which led to him being captured by Marshal Sun this time. I think you and I are psychologically disturbed by this.
I understand very well!”
Sun Sheng remained silent. He actually understood very well mentally. If Emperor Mu had not congratulated his assistant, perhaps he would not have been defeated like this. Before he went down the mountain, he had already heard that Emperor Mu of the State of Mu was a rare person.
He was a talented general, but he didn't expect that he could capture this man alive without any effort.
"Haha, what I said are all from Marshal Sun's heart. In fact, our goals are the same. You want Emperor Mu to return to Mu country alive, and that's what I mean too." Li Su said and pretended.
I casually picked up a glass of wine.
Sun Sheng was stunned and quickly asked: "Why is this? The Prime Minister has nothing to do with Emperor Mu and the State of Mu. Why he hopes that Emperor Mu can return to the State of Mu is really difficult for me to understand."
Li Su took a sip of wine, then looked around, and after making sure that no one was there, he continued: "You and I are both important ministers in the court. What we see and what we say is true. Emperor Meng is ambitious."
, Wen Zhi and martial arts are unparalleled. We can all see these. The reason why Meng State has developed to what it is now is exactly for this reason. But what about our Meng State Crown Prince? I must have had many days with Marshal Sun Sheng.
Are you sure he can lead Meng Zhiqing in the future? In terms of martial arts, even the ninth prince of Mu State who is now the regent and overseer of the country may be many times stronger than Meng Zhiqing. Besides, the emperor's time is running out.
You generals have been outside all this time and don’t know anything about the affairs in the inner palace. The emperor has been in poor health recently and often coughs up blood. He is just pretending to be strong when he goes to court. I’m afraid his time is running out.”
"Ah, this..." Sun Sheng was stunned like a thunderbolt. He didn't expect that Li Su knew so much. He became surprised and continued to ask: "Then according to your wishes, Prime Minister, I saved Queen Mu.
Why? This has nothing to do with this?"
Li Su suddenly laughed, "As the saying goes, a person who has no immediate worries must have foresight. No matter who you are, you need to prepare yourself in advance. Now is an opportunity that cannot be missed. Besides, the credentials have been signed by Mu Guo.
, It is natural for Emperor Mu to return to the dynasty. As long as we strongly recommend that Emperor Mu be sent back to the Kingdom of Mu, then no matter what happens to the Kingdom of Meng and the Kingdom of Mu in the future, there will be some kind of insurance. Marshal, can't you still see clearly the general trend of the world?
?Now that the world is torn apart, no one can guarantee that one day they will live to old age. The only way is to think of a way out for yourself in advance. In this case, there will still be a way out in the future. This is especially true for important ministers like us.
, right?" After Li Su finished speaking, he stared at Sun Sheng, wondering whether Sun Sheng would believe what he said, even though what he said was reasonable.
Sun Sheng nodded silently, "Yes, what the Prime Minister said is correct. Emperor Mu and I have some sympathy for each other, but if you want to put Emperor Mu back just like this, you have seen it today. The emperor has no
This means, what can we do as ministers?"
After saying that, he shook his head helplessly and drank the glass of wine in one gulp. It looked like he was really helpless.
Li Su nodded, "Yes, I also saw the emperor's intention during the morning court today, but there is a solution to everything, and there is no solution."
After Sun Sheng heard this, he asked in surprise: "Mr. Prime Minister, could it be that you have some idea?"
Li Su smiled mysteriously, "Haha, if I can say such things, I naturally have my own opinions. Haven't you heard that the emperor recently visited Concubine Xia who came to Mu country? And during the last hunting, he
His eyes have been glancing at her from time to time, which is enough to prove that the emperor has certain thoughts when facing Concubine Xia."
"Oh? The Prime Minister has seen this, is it true?" Sun Sheng looked at Li Su as if he had heard a legend. He had only known that Prince Meng Zhiqing had thoughts about Xia Ziying and had always wanted to get her.
, but I didn’t expect that the emperor would also have this idea, which is really surprising.
"Haha, I am a very observant person. No one's eyes can escape my eyes. Haha, but having said that, Marshal Sun Sheng is also a person who knows people well, but what you are good at is
In my heart, this old man is naturally slightly better. Now what I should say is clear enough. What I have to say is clear enough. Now it depends on your choice. Marshal, please weigh it yourself. After all, saving one life is better than killing seven.
The top pagoda, no matter how you say it, leaves you a way to survive. I don’t think anyone will give up. Of course, Marshal Sun is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but you fell in love with each other as soon as you met.
." After saying that, Li Su poured a glass of wine for Sun Sheng, picked up the glass, gestured to Sun Sheng, drank it in one gulp, and then stared at Sun Sheng to see what he thought.
Sun Sheng was hesitant. Although what Li Su said was so clear now, people's hearts were so far apart that no one knew what he was thinking mentally.
Sun Sheng thought of this, then approached Li Su and continued: "In this case, I wonder what you have to say, Prime Minister Li, how can we safely get Emperor Mu out of the Meng Kingdom?"
This was what Li Su was waiting for. After hearing Sun Sheng's question, he couldn't help but hide his face and smile, "Isn't this simple? Didn't I say before that the problem lies with Concubine Xia? Although the emperor's psychological
He also wanted to kill Emperor Mu to avoid future troubles, but he coveted Concubine Xia. As long as Concubine Xia took the initiative to propose this, the emperor would start thinking again. And I have now heard that the emperor recently called his eunuch Liu
Guang went to handle the matter of assassinating Emperor Mu. I believe there will be a big move soon. Marshal Sun is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, and the guards of the palace are your subordinates, Marshal Sun. It must not be difficult to stop this assassination plan?"
Sun Sheng was stunned again. He didn't expect that Li Su would know so much, even the emperor's affairs. This person is really not simple. He couldn't help but look at it a few times. He nodded quickly and said: "I will definitely do this.
Mr. Li, don’t worry, the safety of Emperor Mu will be left to me for the time being, and I will tell my subordinates to be more careful in the next few days."
Li Su felt relieved after hearing what he said, so he nodded, "It's good now. With Marshal Sun's protection, Emperor Mu should have no problems."
