A man in green clothes walked in from the door of the hall, and everyone's eyes turned to this man for an instant.
The wine glass in Su Jue's hand clicked and fell on the table. His pupils shrank sharply, and the faces of the confidant generals who followed Su Jue at the beginning also showed panic.
"Who are you?" A minister frowned and looked at the man in green. This is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. He was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel during the Li Dynasty. Later, he joined the Great Su Dynasty and still served as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
As the head of the Ministry of Personnel, Zhang Shangshu was the most familiar with officials, but he was sure that among the faces of all the second-rank officials and above, the person in front of him was not among them.
"Come here, take him down. You can't enter this hall without permission." A steward in the Marshal's Mansion who was responsible for pouring wine for the officials and ministers shouted sharply.
"Marshal Su, what, it seems like I'm not welcome here?" The man in green didn't pay attention to these voices at all, and looked at Su Jue with a hint of teasing in his eyes.
"You bastard!" Su Jue finally reacted. He turned around and gave the butler a loud slap in the face. Then he stood up from his seat and said to the man in green: "Master Qin is coming. You should have informed him earlier. Su Jue must go to the door.
Welcome."
"Qin...Qin Guoshi?" Hearing Su Jue's words, the official minister was dumbfounded, and the expressions of all the officials in the hall became strange. This really means Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.
There is no need to say the identity of the man in green, he is Qin Yu.
"I have met the Imperial Preceptor." All the officials at the three tables stood up and saluted Qin Yu respectfully. The Imperial Preceptor is below one person and above ten thousand people. According to the edict issued by the Holy Emperor, his status is even higher.
Above Su Jue.
"I came here today just to ask for a glass of wine. No need to be polite." Qin Yu glanced at everyone with a smile, then walked up to the main table and sat down directly at the chief position. And this position,
It originally belonged to Su Jue.
"Old Xiong, this Imperial Master is so arrogant. He even dares to sit in the position of Marshal. He really takes himself seriously." At the general table, a general said angrily when he saw this scene.
"Shut up." Old Xiong covered the general's mouth. His palms were still trembling and his face was pale. As someone who had followed the marshal out of Su Zicheng, he knew very well how terrifying the Imperial Advisor in front of him was.
.
Everyone in the world knows the results of the Su Zicheng battle. An army of 50,000 defeated Li Guang's 300,000 elite troops. At that time, for strategic needs, the publicity was that such a great victory was possible because of the heroic decision-making and leadership of the current emperor and marshal. However,
Only those who have truly experienced the battle in Su Zicheng will understand the specific situation.
"Old Xiong, why are you covering my mouth? Am I wrong? All the soldiers and horses in the world are in the hands of our marshal. Apart from the Holy Lord, who else has a higher status than our marshal? As for the national preceptor, I don't even know him.
"
Qin Yu held the wine glass and sat on the chief seat. Looking at Su Jue who was still standing aside, he asked with pretense of confusion: "Why doesn't Marshal Su sit down? You are the protagonist today."
There are a total of twelve seats at the main table, and each seat is occupied by an official. The seats are all packed. Qin Yu has taken Su Jue's seat, so there is no room for Su Jue.
There is no official who can reach this position who is not good at observing people's emotions. As soon as Qin Yu said these words, these people understood that this Qin Guoshi was not a good person.
Many of Su Jue's trusted generals had already stood up and glared at Qin Yu. Outside the hall, the guards of the Marshal's Mansion surrounded the hall and would rush in just waiting for Su Jue's order.
The entire hall was caught in a tense atmosphere!
Cold sweat has appeared on the foreheads of some civil servants. This Qin Guoshi was personally canonized by the current emperor. If Marshal Su really does something, what does this mean? It means that Marshal Su is going to rebel.
And Marshal Su holds the army of the whole country. If the rebellion really happens, these ministers should think about how to form a team!
"Su Jue is honored that the Imperial Master can attend Su Jue's banquet. I would like to pay a toast to the Imperial Master."
However, contrary to the expectations of these civil servants and generals, Su Jue still had a smile on his face, picked up the wine glass on his table, and said respectfully to Qin Yu.
"I'll drink this wine later. While everyone is here, let me announce something first." Qin Yu waved his hand lightly, and at some point, an edict appeared on his hand.
"This is the one given to you, Marshal Su. You can take it."
Seeing Qin Yu take out this edict, the officials left the table and knelt on the ground. This was the edict from the Holy One. Seeing the edict is like seeing the Holy One.
However, these civil servants knelt down, but those generals just stood up and looked at Su Jue, obviously waiting for Su Jue to make a decision.
These military generals have already made up their minds. As long as the marshal gives an order, no matter who he is, he will be hacked to death with a single sword.
Moreover, with the Marshal's current strength, even if he kills this so-called National Master, the Holy One may not blame him, unless the Holy One wants to force the Marshal to rebel.
Su Jue's face was dark and unclear. He glanced deeply at Qin Yu, but did not reach out to receive the edict. After a while, he suddenly said: "Master Imperial Master, if possible, I would like to meet the Holy Emperor in person."
, I hope that the Imperial Master can make it happen.”
Qin Yu shook his head. Su Jue was a sensible person and could already guess the contents of the edict. However, it was impossible for Su Yanran to see him again.
"All of you, please go out. The Imperial Master and I have something to discuss." Su Jue's expression became lonely and he waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.
"Marshal?" Many military generals were unwilling to give in. They didn't understand what happened to the marshal. This edict must not be a good content. Since the Holy One is unkind, he should just do the opposite.
To put it bluntly, the entire capital city's troops, including the imperial guards, are the marshal's men. As long as the marshal gives the order, they can attack the Jinluan Palace overnight.
"Everyone get out." Su Jue roared violently, which made the civil servants tremble and hurriedly retreat. As for the military generals, they had no choice but to withdraw no matter how unwilling they were. However, many generals glared at Qin fiercely before leaving.
A few glances.
The hall door was closed, and Qin Yu and Su Jue were the only two people left in the entire hall!
"Old Li, you are in charge of the 10,000 guard troops at the West City Gate. I think the marshal is reminiscing about old friendships and cannot make up his mind. But those of us who are subordinates cannot let Marshal Yu be confused. You can lead the troops to the marshal's residence."
"And Lao Xiong, you are in charge of the Outer Guards, open the gate of the imperial city, let us lead the troops in, and establish the facts. I don't believe that the marshal will still be hesitant when the time comes."
"Old Xiong, what are you thinking about? You are just talking."
The general known as Lao Xiong showed a bitter look on his face, "Everyone, listen to my advice and don't use the troops. Do you know why the Holy One dares to let the marshal control the troops of the world? Even the army in the capital is controlled by us.
Do the Marshal’s confidants have control?”
"Why?"
"Because the Holy One knows very well that as long as that person is around, the marshal will not rebel and will not dare to rebel."
"who?"
"Master Qin!"
Old Xiong shook his head helplessly, his face no longer full of high spirits, "Tomorrow I will resign to the Holy One and hand over the military power in my hands."
…
"Master Qin, there are only two of us now. Come on, let me toast you." Su Jue picked up the wine bottle, poured a glass for Qin Yu, and poured another glass for himself. This time, Qin Yu did not refuse.
"Twenty-five years ago, the late emperor rewarded my Su family with a jade pendant and told my father that the son of the Su family who holds this jade pendant will be able to marry into the royal family and become the royal consort. Unfortunately, the Li family rebelled later and
The late emperor set himself on fire, my father also committed suicide. Only the princess escaped from the entire royal family, and I am the only one left in the Su family."
Su Jue put down the wine glass with a look of reminiscence on his face, "Five years ago, when I saw the princess for the first time, I knew in my heart that this was the woman I would protect for the rest of my life. At that time, you, the Imperial Master
In my eyes, he is just a groom with a weird temper."
"Actually, even the princess herself doesn't know that in the entire Su Zicheng, whether it's Cuiweiju or Manhonglou, all the people in the Yanliu Land were massacred by my order because I didn't want the world to know that the princess had stayed in that kind of place.
, It’s a pity that there is still no airtight wall in this world, and the news eventually spread.”
Qin Yu listened to Su Jue's words quietly. He understood very well that what Su Jue needed now was a listener.
"Finally, the army conquered the country, the princess successfully ascended the throne, and I became the marshal of the world's troops. In the eyes of others, this is already the highest honor, but this is not what I want."
Su Jue's voice suddenly became louder, "She knows the princess I want, but she doesn't give it to me. She thinks she can compensate me by giving me the position of Grand Marshal of the Nation's Armed Forces?"
"The position of Grand Marshal of the Army is not compensation, but what you deserve." Qin Yu interjected calmly.
"But what I want is not the Marshal of the Army, what I want is her, her!" Su Jue pressed Qin Yu's shoulders with both hands excitedly and shook him desperately. After a while, he let go and
He sat down in his seat with a dejected face.
"I know the contents of this edict. The princess knows it very well. I will not go against her, but my subordinates have this intention. As long as I am still in the position of Generalissimo, someone will
I'm ready to make a move, so either I personally take action to get rid of these subordinates of mine, or I resign from all official positions and serve as a leisurely Duke in this capital, enjoying endless glory and wealth."
Qin Yu looked at Su Jue deeply, and after a long time, he put the edict in Su Jue's hand, "Open it and read it yourself."
Su Jue glanced at Qin Yu in confusion. He already knew the contents of the edict. Do he still need to open it?
"Open it and you'll know after you take a look." Qin Yu left these words, stood up from the table, and walked towards the door.
Su Jue opened the edict with suspicion, and only glanced at it for a few times. The expression on his face suddenly changed, and he looked at Qin Yu who had walked out of the door with only his back in disbelief, "How is this possible? Why is she doing this?"
