"Sir, you should take some rest." A follower from Heishuitai stepped forward and warned.
Shao Pingbo nodded and thanked him for his kindness, "I'm a little bored, just take a walk." He waved his hand, saying there was no need to follow.
The other party stopped, and the master and servant walked away slowly. From time to time, there were patrol teams going back and forth, and even passed by the two of them. In the bright sky, patrolling bird mounts could be seen coming and going, to guard against anyone approaching from the air.
Stopping near a simple sentry tower on a hilly slope, looking at the formation of the army camp, Shao Pingbo was silent for a while and said slowly: "I have worked hard for the Jin State, but the people in the Jin State court do not tolerate me."
Shao Sansheng observed for a while and saw that his mentality had indeed calmed down, so he dared to say: "Young Master, you must never agree to marry the seventh princess!"
It stands to reason that he is just a slave and has no right to interfere with his master's marriage, but this matter is really unbearable for him. If it is a marriage between ordinary people, that would be fine, but the matter of this seventh princess has attracted the attention of the world.
The eldest young master will never be able to hold his head up if he betrays this seventh princess. The eldest young master is a very thoughtful person, which makes him physically and mentally exhausted. He should not be overly stimulated. If he is burdened with such a thing for a long time, how can he bear it?
Shao Pingbo: "How to refuse? You have also seen what happened in the court. A group of people are waiting for me to refuse! All the officials agreed to your majesty and the princess. As long as the princess is willing to marry, everyone is willing to marry, but I am not willing.
? As long as I refuse, a group of people will pounce on me like hungry wolves. All kinds of criticism will drown me. Everything I have worked hard for will be in vain. No matter how great my achievements are, I will not get any deserved
, will all come to naught in their mouths! Even if His Majesty wants to help me again from now on, this matter will become an excuse for their attacks, and they will continue to use it!"
Shao Sansheng said: "The eldest son has done all the hard work for your majesty. I should ask your majesty for it!"
Shao Pingbo sighed: "It's useless. The situation is already established and His Majesty can't stop it. Do you think the situation in the court came from the Black Water Tower? It came from His Majesty. It's up to me to decide what to do. There's nothing he can do about it."
.”
Shao Sansheng said sadly and angrily: "My eldest son, you must not marry the Seventh Princess. The eldest son has worked hard for the Jin State, but the Jin State treats him like this, it is better to just leave!"
Shao Pingbo: "Look around, are you still gone?"
After hearing this, Shao Sansheng immediately observed his surroundings, and found that there were people from Heishuitai following him not far or close behind. There were even more vague eyes staring at him, and he immediately understood why the eldest master insisted on going out for a walk.
intention.
Shao Pingbo: "Stop looking around. The Jin State's strategy has been re-formulated and is ready to be crushed. At least for now, my role is not big. If I dare to run, they will not hesitate to kill me.
"
Shao Sansheng was filled with grief and anger, "The eldest son has worked tirelessly to receive such a reward. It is really hateful. Is there no other way?"
Shao Pingbo: "I have thought of several ways. The best way is to kill the seventh princess, the second is to use the war to excuse me, and the other is to ask the shopkeeper for help and use the power of Qi Yunzong to intervene in the court.
"
After hearing these methods, Shao Sansheng immediately asked: "How to get rid of the Seventh Princess?"
Shao Pingbo: "The seventh princess broke into the court, first used the imperial power to coerce the officials to relent, and then used the officials to counterattack His Majesty, strategizing in the court. Is this something that a teenage girl can do? There must be something behind the scenes.
Someone who is thoughtful and cunning is instigating the teaching! I don’t know who is instigating it, but the person who can do this is probably waiting for me to attack the Seventh Princess. I don’t know who my opponent is until I know who the opponent is.
Before setting it up, you may fall into a trap, so this strategy is not advisable for the time being."
"To resolve this matter, the best person to attack the Seventh Princess is actually His Majesty himself. If before the war, given my importance, Your Majesty would have killed the Seventh Princess. Now...can I write to Your Majesty and let Your Majesty go?
Kill your own daughter?"
Shao Sansheng: "Then go and ask Gao Da Sima."
Shao Pingbo: "Gao Pin's attitude is already very clear. He told me Jin's re-formulated grand strategy, which is tantamount to telling me that I am no longer indispensable to him. He is not
He will offend all the ministers of the court for me. He will not let go to help without some arrangements to coerce him, and the court will not allow me to arrange things slowly. People who use this method have a subtle starting point.
, and he was ruthless and precise, never giving me a chance to breathe or give me any time."
"There was no warning in advance, and I had no precautions in advance. I was caught off guard. It was already too late to react and I was already struggling in the trap!"
Shao Sansheng: "Then we can only ask the shopkeeper for help."
Shao Pingbo nodded, "That's all we can do now. But the commotion about this matter is too big, and abnormal behavior can easily be discovered by Piaomiao Pavilion. Even the shopkeeper doesn't dare to intervene. But now we have to give it a try and contact the shopkeeper.
Yes, let him use his power to kill the Seventh Princess or use the left and right Yunzong to interfere with the court. Let him choose one of the two, and he can use whichever method he thinks is better."
Shao Sansheng nodded, "Okay, I'll contact him right away."
Shao Pingbo: "As I said, there is too much noise in this matter. I estimate that it is unlikely that the shopkeeper will intervene, and he may not agree to help me. The shopkeeper is very important to me, and if he is really not sure, I can't force him.
, I don’t want to see anything happen to him. Once something happens to him, it will definitely involve me, and it will be a disaster, and I’m afraid we won’t even be able to save our lives.”
Shao Sansheng: "What does the eldest son mean?"
Shao Pingbo: "Be prepared for the other side. If he refuses to help, let him help with another thing, find out who my opponent is! It's not scary if something goes wrong. The most terrifying thing is that you don't even know who your opponent is.
This person is too dangerous, find him so we can take precautions!"
"When I gain a foothold, I must get rid of this person! In addition, let the shopkeeper help me pay attention to who are the main people targeting me in the court... If I want to be at ease, I can't do it without getting rid of a group of people to shock and shock!"
Looking back at Shao Sansheng, "It's not easy for the people from Heishuitai to investigate these matters. I don't have any other power, so I can only ask the shopkeeper for help."
Shao Sansheng nodded, "Understood!"
Looking at the increasingly brighter sky, Shao Pingbo sighed, "I thought I could breathe a sigh of relief after Niu Youdao died... I wanted to see who in the court was so cruel to me. Is there such a person hidden in the court?"
I didn't even notice it beforehand!" A fierce look flashed in his eyes.
Speaking of Niu Youdao, Shao Sansheng felt a little sad. At first, Niu Youdao brought the eldest son into disrepute, so that he was so angry that he vomited blood. Now there is a person who wants to ruin the eldest son's reputation, and he is also angry.
Vomiting blood.
Niu Youdao was trapped in the holy territory. The eldest son came out of the mountain after hibernation and did not meet his opponent. He was going through clouds and rain all the way. Unexpectedly, Niu Youdao died and another troublemaker appeared.
"Eldest Young Master, where are you going now?" Shao Sansheng asked sadly, so that he could prepare in advance.
Shao Pingbo: "When something like this happened, I have no intention of doing anything else for the time being. I can't do anything unless the trouble is solved. I'm not going anywhere for the time being. While I'm sick, I don't want to reply to His Majesty for the time being. I'll just stay here for a few days."
, wait for the news from the shopkeeper before making a decision! You should contact me immediately."
"Yes!" Shao Sansheng responded.
Some things did not go as Shao Pingbo expected. The shopkeeper really felt that the matter was too noisy and attracted too many people's attention, so he was unwilling to use the power of Piaomiao Pavilion to assassinate the seventh princess, let alone the right and left Yunzong to intervene in this matter. It was too easy
A flaw was exposed.
However, there is no problem in finding out who is behind the scenes. If you guide Piaomiao Pavilion to pay attention to it, Piaomiao Pavilion will naturally explore the truth, and the shopkeeper can get the information incidentally.
Shao Pingbo, on the other hand, took the excuse of being ill and delayed in replying to Tai Shuxiong, but Tai Shuxiong did not press or urge him.
However, people in the court kept pressing Tai Shuxiong, suspecting that Shao Pingbo was taking advantage of his illness to evade the situation. It was hard to say that Tai Shuxiong had spread the news and made Shao Pingbo so angry that he vomited blood.
Finally, someone went to the front line in person to visit Shao Pingbo's condition on behalf of the imperial court, expressed the imperial court's "good intentions", asked Shao Pingbo what his opinion was, and forced Shao Pingbo to express his stance.
Shao Pingbo tried to pretend to be seriously ill, but he couldn't. They brought a mage along with him to check his body and confirmed that his body was damaged, but he was fine after being nursed back to health.
When pressed to express his position, Shao Pingbo forced a smile and strongly expressed that his uncle Huan'er was innocent and it was his honor to be married to the princess. If the majesty and the princess were willing, he would marry her!
The minister who visited the patient had a strange smile and left with a smile on his face.
Shao Pingbo, who was lying in the tent, coughed violently again. After the monk cast a spell to help suppress and straighten his breath, Shao Pingbo calmed down and fell silent, even a little distracted.
He remembered the scene when he met Tai Shu Huan'er in the farmhouse. Tai Shu Huan'er said that the emperor had promised her a condition and said that he would not let him go in the future!
He didn't take Taishu Huan'er's threat to heart at that time, but his words turned out to be a prophecy!
Before leaving, the visiting minister could not help but say goodbye to Da Sima Gaopin, who personally sent the person out of the tent with a smile on his face.
After the guests left, Gao Pin glanced at the tent not far away and muttered, "I agreed... This is the best!"
After returning to the court, the visiting minister also brought back Shao Pingbo's attitude. The court was filled with joy and congratulations to His Majesty.
Tai Shuxiong used the excuse that Shao Pingbo was ill and that it would not be too late to talk about marriage after he recovered. However, the visiting minister insisted that Shao Pingbo had recovered from his illness and was just recuperating. If he didn't believe it, he could invite Shao Pingbo to come to Beijing for recuperation and check-up.
Tai Shuxiong also used the excuse that it was not appropriate to arrange the wedding because of the war.
The ministers also said that because of the critical moment of the war, the purpose of clearing the princess's innocence was to clear up the rumors and boost the morale of the army, killing two birds with one stone.
To put it bluntly, everyone felt Tai Shuxiong's efforts to support Shao Pingbo, which forced a group of people to align their interests. Even those who always stood on Tai Shuxiong's side felt Shao Pingbo's challenge to their status and did not allow Shao Pingbo to
Replace it yourself!
A group of people didn't care whether Shao Pingbo was still sick or not, they chose a good and auspicious day to perform the performance the next day!
Faced with the unanimous attitude of everyone in the court, Tai Shuxiong could only be right, but he immediately smashed something after returning to the imperial study room.
The feeling of being forced into the palace by a group of people is not good, and he can't swallow this breath. This trend cannot last long. He plans to wait for the situation on the battlefield to stabilize before looking for an opportunity to settle the score with a group of people!
