King Qi had done this in the past, because the two kings were not always able to go to the palace to discuss matters. The two of them sometimes did not see each other for ten days and a half, and there was friction among the people below. It was just a small friction, but it was really serious. When it came to the other party's interests, the King of Qi would get angry. Although he could not come directly to the door, it was common for him to send someone to deliver a letter and get angry.
After receiving the letter, King Shu opened it directly, and after reading only two lines, he softly said "Oh", as if he saw something that surprised him.
Ma Youliang was sitting aside. When he saw this scene, his heart felt like a little claw was scratching him, but he did not dare to take the initiative to come over. He could only wait for King Shu to read the letter and then ask himself.
With the character of the King of Shu, he always likes to discuss matters related to the King of Qi with his advisers.
However, he did not expect that King Shu would read the contents of only two thin pieces of paper for a long time, no, he would be silent for a long time after reading them.
The King of Shu did not even show the letter to Ma Youliang directly, but asked the servant outside the door to bring in a brazier, throw the letter in with the envelope and envelope, until he saw the tongue of flames devouring the thin letter. Then he gave up. I didn't know what he thought of, and he laughed "poof".
"I don't think I, my brother, am actually a little scared." King Shu shook his head and smiled. He smiled for a while and then calmed down: "No, I should say he has made progress."
"..."
Ma Youliang immediately guessed the content of the letter based on just a few words. Could it be that the King of Qi wrote a letter to seek peace from the King of Shu?
It is really surprising that this is the case. After all, given the character of the King of Qi, it is simply harder for him to bow to the King of Shu and actively seek peace than to kill the King of Qi.
The two kings had a brief alliance in the past, but both sides were evenly matched and cooperated tacitly to deal with foreign enemies. When was it like this time that King Qi bowed his head first?
Just listen to the King of Shu sigh: "...King of Qi..."
He suddenly took a few steps outside, walked to the door with his arms folded, and looked at the courtyard scene. He saw the sun setting in the west, the light gradually dimmed, and the King of Shu's face also cast a shadow, looking thoughtful.
Sure enough, people will not make progress until they reach the painful point, but when they reach the painful point, no matter how stubborn they are, they have to admit defeat and change.
King Qi was afraid.
But I am not the same. There are two biggest flaws of the king. The first is the emperor. He is the son of the prince. How can he not be afraid of his own father who has a guilty conscience?
Secondly, after all, he had only been in Beijing for less than two or three years and his foundation was shallow. However, if the temple in the capital was conquered by the king, this shortcoming would be immediately made up for.
"If it is done by the acting king, is it only the father's will that can be suppressed? No, this is not possible."
After thinking for a long time, the King of Shu turned around and said: "The King of Qi just sent a letter, saying that he wants to join forces with me to deal with King Dai, and he also promised to share half of the temple. What do you think?"
Ma Youliang had just guessed the content of the letter and was already thinking about it in his mind. At this time, he was asked by the King of Shu and said calmly: "Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity."
"The former Wei general Tian Bingyu was imprisoned unjustly. The jailer said that the general is not guilty and the powerful are guilty. The same is true for the current king."
"King Dai is becoming more and more powerful. Now is not the time to remove him. It is the right time to join forces with King Qi. We will surely win."
The King of Shu looked at it with a smile and said, "Mr. Ma, please go to the Chief Assistant Zhao Xu and hand me the post to discuss the Mid-Autumn Festival gift list for all officials."
With that said, he took off a jade pendant from his body and handed it to Ma Youliang.
"Bring this."
When Ma Youliang heard that the King of Shu asked him to find the chief assistant, Mr. Zhao Xu, he was startled, his body trembled, and there was a look on his face.
Does the king still have a close relationship with the chief assistant, Mr. Zhao Xu?
This is really unexpected!
People who can achieve the position of first assistant are all well-established people, and they are definitely not people who are willing to take risks just for the sake of the merits of the dragon. After all, even without the merits of the dragon, reaching the position of the first assistant is already an extremely popular minister, and there is no way to advance.
Jin, if you intervene in the fight for heirs, let alone choosing the wrong person and causing harm to the family, even if you choose the right person, there will be no reward, only death.
The more senior a person is, the less likely they are to express their opinions easily.
In the past, he also looked at Lord Zhao Xu like this, but now he was shocked to hear that the king was related to the chief minister.
But under the smiling gaze of the King of Shu, he quickly straightened his expression and said respectfully, "Yes, Wei Chen will do it now."
After he responded, he saw King Shu wave his hand and retreated.
The King of Shu stood up and stretched his body, then walked to the secret door of the study, gently turned the mechanism, and a door slowly rose behind a landscape painting, revealing the room inside.
This is not an important place. The reason why it is a dark room is because people in high positions like to hide some of their own secrets.
When the King of Shu entered the room, he looked up and saw a painting hanging on the wall. This painting showed a dragon half out of the water. The brushwork was dripping and very impressive. But in terms of painting skills, in the eyes of the King of Shu now
, that is, generally.
The King of Shu walked to the bottom of the painting, looked up at it, and then turned around for a long time, just thinking.
"I think back twenty years ago, when my father visited Jinhe. Although it was just deer hunting, everyone was vying to participate. Even Gu was accompanying him, but Gu fell seriously ill at the hunting ground and the medicine was ineffective."
At that time, he was less than ten years old and had just been promoted to the county king, with only a few followers following him.
Unexpectedly, he fell seriously ill during the journey and was about to die, so he met a mysterious Taoist who laughed loudly. The laughter was close to his ears, but he was still several miles away.
He watched helplessly as the mysterious Taoist "walked" from hundreds of meters to him in just a few steps. This was the first time for him, who was already the king of the county, to see such a strange person and strange thing.
Even if I think about it now, I am horrified.
When the mysterious Taoist saw him, he was amazed and said that although he was just a dragon, he had the potential to become a dragon, but he needed careful planning to achieve his wish.
"Then he gave medicine to Gu so that he could be cured. He also gave me this painting. Unfortunately, I still can't figure out the mystery behind it."
Without waiting to stop him and inquire about the meaning of his words, the mysterious Taoist stumbled onto several guards who rushed towards him, and disappeared in an instant, quickly disappearing.
Not long after he recovered from his illness, something happened to the prince. Looking back, King Shu just felt that it was hard to say whether this so-called mystery was a disaster or a blessing.
That day, the Taoist thought that something would happen to the prince? But did you know that now there is a prince's son? If he hadn't been unable to find this person all these years, he would have really wanted to ask again.
"Also, these strange people, whose good and evil are hard to distinguish, are really a scourge for the imperial court. If we can kill them all, the world will surely have peace."
"It's just that before killing it, it may be used alone."
The King of Shu was speculated, which naturally showed that he had some destiny and was a rare commodity. He was naturally happy, but it was out of another instinct, but his expression was gloomy.
Now and then, as the years grow older, the original longing fades away, and the wariness and fear arise spontaneously.
