Huang Shisan brought Manniu in. Manniu looked unwilling. Although he saluted Su Ren, Su Ren still had a bad look on his face. Although this Manniu was from the south, he was tall and thick, similar to Huang Shisan.
The three of them stood together and he was no less impressive. He also had a lot of strength. Dozens of people tried to snatch the piece of jade from his hand but failed, which showed that he had some ability.
Su Ren takes his own life very seriously, and Huang Shisan is also a good personal guard, but the existence of Tiangang Disha often requires Huang Shisan to contact Su Ren, and it won't work if there is no one around Su Ren. That wrestling just now
During the competition, Su Ren took a fancy to the man at first sight and said everything he wanted to say. Unexpectedly, the man was unwilling, which made Su Ren very embarrassed.
Seeing Man Niu again, Su Ren smiled and said, "You still think I'm a person who doesn't keep his words?"
Man Niu looked at Huang Shisan. He must have been scolded by Huang Shisan just now, and even taught him a lesson if he didn't do it properly. He said to Su Ren: "You don't dare, a villain."
"I say I don't dare, but I'm afraid I'm still dissatisfied in my heart. I did say that if anyone snatches the broken jade from you, I will reward you with another piece, but I didn't say that if you can protect it, I will give you another piece, so I didn't
you lied."
Just as Manniu was about to defend himself, Su Ren said again: "Now, as the Chief of Kuaishou, I am ordering you to be my personal guard without any discussion. This is an order. Do you hear it clearly?"
"In this case, the villain no longer wants to be a soldier!"
In addition to Su Ren and Huang Shisan, there were several military lords and Sima in the big tent, all looking at Man Niu with incredulous expressions. Man Niu stubbornly stretched out his hand and began to take off his armor and military uniforms.
Su Renyi gritted his teeth, took out the imperial edict Liu Che gave him, and raised it high above his head: "Man Niu takes the edict! This is the imperial edict given to me by your majesty, and now in the name of your majesty, I order you to be my
My personal guard, what else do you have to say?"
Hearing the word "receive the order", Man Niu knelt down quickly. If he was not a soldier, he would not be under the jurisdiction of the Changshi, but he was a Han and could not disobey the emperor. Man Niu panted heavily and kowtowed to Su Ren for a long time.
: “Now that Your Majesty has said it, I’m pretty awesome and admit it!”
Su Ren felt relieved and put the imperial edict in his arms again, and said angrily: "You still don't believe it. Do you think I can't do anything to you? Old Huang, take him down and change his clothes!"
Huang Shisan kicked the bull in the butt: "Let's go? You don't know how to appreciate it!" His words reflected the thoughts of everyone in the big tent.
Lu Jia met with more than a dozen South Vietnamese ministers in one morning and talked a lot with them, but did not get the answer he wanted. He sat blankly in his seat, and everyone in the big tent was kicked out by Lu Jia. For many years
Come on, the Lu family is the second largest family in Nanyue Kingdom. Apart from the Zhao family, he, Lu Jia, doesn't pay attention to anyone. Even the Zhao family is a puppet in his eyes, but this puppet is now
Give Lu Jia a headache...
"Father-in-law! My son-in-law has contacted a lot of people these days. Since these old guys don't know how to commend themselves, why not..."
Lu Jia shook his head: "Although they don't have much strength, they have the support of several big tribes behind them. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to become such a big official as Taifu. If they die here, those big tribes will become our enemies."
,The current situation is serious, and their efforts are still needed."
"Don't worry, father-in-law, my son-in-law will do it without anyone noticing."
Lu Jia still shook his head: "No, we must not have any problems with the enemy in front of us."
Zhao Yu was a little helpless and was at a loss. With his IQ, there was nothing he could do at this point.
Lu Jia suddenly said: "Although they don't agree, it's not that there is no other way. You can go and ask the prince to come over. I want to talk to him."
Zhao Yu hurriedly saluted, left the tent, and walked towards Zhao Hu's mourning hall. He could not enter the property, but the king's funeral still had to be carried out. A special area was opened in the camp to build a memorial shed, and Zhao Hu's body was placed inside.
All matters related to national mourning.
The coffin is not very big. A thin-skinned coffin is placed behind the curtain. Zhao Hu's coffin is placed on the altar table. Prince Zhao Yingqi leads a group of descendants of the Zhao family to kneel in front of the coffin. The princess has fainted from crying several times and was beaten by a group of women.
People gathered around to comfort them. Everyone here knew that Lu Jia now actually controlled everything in South Vietnam, and they were all worried that Lu Jia would do something to them.
Zhao Yu walked into the memorial shed with a long sword hanging at his waist and dressed in military uniform. He looked around for a long time, walked straight behind Zhao Yingqi, bowed and saluted: "Prince, the Prime Minister invites you!"
Zhao Yu's voice was very loud, and everyone present heard it clearly. Everyone stopped crying and turned to look at Zhao Yu. Someone stood up and pointed at Zhao Yu and said angrily: "Zhao Yu, you are also a member of the Zhao family.
, the new king has passed away, you actually broke into the mourning hall holding a sharp blade and wearing armor, what do you want to do?"
Zhao Yu glanced at the man. He was a branch of the Zhao family, and he was Zhao Yu's cousin. Zhao Yu sneered: "The enemy is in front of us, but you are crying here. South Vietnam has reached its most critical juncture. Don't you think
You want to serve the country, but you want to accuse me, so I would like to ask you what do you want to do?"
Another person stood up: "Serve the country? Does South Vietnam still belong to the Zhao family? You, Zhao Yu, are helping the tyrants do evil, and you are not worthy of being a member of the Zhao family!"
"So it's Uncle Nineteen, and you are the Zhao family? Who colluded with Minyue and Luoyue in the past, intending to drive away the late king and replace him? Who has been huddled in the fiefdom for more than ten years and never came to see the king? They said that I helped the evil, and that I
If you are not a member of the Zhao family, you should all touch your conscience and ask yourself if you are worthy of being a member of the Zhao family?"
"Stop the quarrel!" There were still a few people who wanted to make trouble, but were interrupted by a roar. Zhao Wen, holding a cane, stood up from the cushion in white clothes, looked at Zhao Yu and asked: "What does the prime minister want to see the prince for?"
Zhao Yu snorted coldly: "I'm just a messenger. It must be an important matter for the Prime Minister to find the Prince. I don't know!" He ignored Zhao Wen and turned to look at Zhao Yingqi: "Prince, let's go? The Prime Minister is still waiting.
."
Zhao Yingqi was just over sixteen, and technically he was still just a child. He was suddenly thrust into the forefront of the storm, and he was not prepared. Zhao Yingqi looked at the people around him as if asking for help, and all of them lowered their heads.
, silently stepped back. Zhao Yingqi was helpless, but no one wanted to stand behind him.
Zhao Wen sighed, took a few steps forward, and came to Zhao Yingqi's side: "Prince, don't be afraid, I will go with the prince!"
"The Prime Minister has ordered that only the Crown Prince be invited. It would be better for the rest to stay here."
"Humph! I don't need your teaching in doing things!"
With Zhao Wen's support, Zhao Yingqi was somewhat comforted and saluted Zhao Yu: "I, I will go with you."
The Crown Princess was holding her son Zhao Xing in her arms and wanted to step forward to stop her. Zhao Yingqi gently patted the back of the Crown Princess's hand. The two looked at each other and almost shed tears. Zhao Wen patted Zhao Yingqi's back.
, nodded at him, took the lead, and followed Zhao Yu out of the mourning hall.
Compared with Zhao Yu who was shameless, Lu Jia was much better. When he saw Zhao Yingqi, Lu Jia bowed first and invited Zhao Yingqi to take a seat. Lu Jia did not express any dissatisfaction with Zhao Wen's uninvited appearance.
After the group of people had finished the ceremony and Zhao Yu left the tent, Zhao Yingqi finally felt relieved and asked Lu Jia: "Prime Minister, why did you invite me here?"
Lu Jia saluted again: "Prince, Your Majesty has passed away, but the country cannot be without a king for a day. The prince also knows the current situation in South Vietnam. The purpose of inviting the prince to come this time is to discuss with the prince the establishment of a new king."
Zhao Wen interrupted and said, "Did the Prime Minister make a mistake? There is nothing wrong with the King having a crown prince, and there is nothing wrong with the King's death and the crown prince's succession. There is no need to discuss this matter."
Lu Jia smiled and said: "Doctor Zhao doesn't know something..."
"The villain is no longer a doctor, but a commoner."
"Haha, Mr. Zhao doesn't know something. The crown prince's succession is naturally safe, but the current situation in South Vietnam is extremely unfavorable to us. I am worried that the prince is young and may not be able to shoulder this responsibility. Many officials have told me about this.
That’s why I haven’t decided yet and want to hear the prince’s opinion.”
"Oh? Is there such a thing? I wonder if it is the successor minister. The Prime Minister can find it, and the villain can explain it to them."
Lu Jia smiled again and said: "Since Mr. Zhao is no longer a doctor, is it inappropriate for Mr. Zhao to be involved in court matters?"
"A villain is not a doctor, but he is from Yue. The accession of a new king to the throne is a major event. Every Yue person can express his or her own opinion. What's wrong with this?"
"Uncle, please wait a moment. Let the Prime Minister finish his words first." Zhao Yingqi finally realized that if he succeeded to the throne by force, his life would be at stake. Rather than doing this, it would be better to give up. Survival is the most important thing.
Zhao Wen's heart felt cold. He looked at Zhao Yingqi, and his heart was filled with pain.
Lu Jia secretly rejoiced and said quickly: "The three elders proposed Yunhui General Zhao Min, and the imperial censor suggested Zhao Jiguang, the senior official. Of course, there was also a proposal to subordinate Zhao Jiguang, but he rejected it. The Lu family has been loyal ministers of the Nanyue Kingdom for generations.
When I come to my generation, I cannot bear the reputation of stealing the country, otherwise even if I die, I will not be able to see the ancestors of the late king and Lu. The prince can summon all the officials and select one person from the general Yunhui Zhao Min and the senior official Zhao Jiguang."
"Hahaha..." Zhao Wen laughed: "General Yunhui Zhao Min is a martial artist, and the superior officer Zhao Jiguang is a villain. In my opinion, only the succession of kings is the most suitable!"
Zhao Yu sneaked in again at some point. Hearing Zhao Wen's sarcasm, he immediately said: "It's not impossible for the Prime Minister to succeed as the new king. The Prime Minister has worked hard and dedicated himself for South Vietnam, so why not be the new king? Now the South Vietnam country exists in name only.
, whoever can lead us to defeat the Han people will be the king!"
Zhao Wen sneered and looked at Lu Jia: "Oh? Does the Prime Minister have such confidence? In this case, why are we still here? Immediately lead the troops to attack Zhicheng, kill Su Ren behind, and unify Lingnan, and from then on with
It is really gratifying that the Han people can live a good life if the Han Dynasty can compete with them. In this case, I would like to congratulate you on becoming the new king." As Zhao Wen spoke, he knelt down in front of Lu Jia.
Lu Jia glared at Zhao Yu fiercely. This pig-like teammate once again showed his worth. Lu Jia finally climbed into the air and was about to touch the sky, but Zhao Yu smoothly pulled away the ladder.
Zhao Yingqi grimaced and hurriedly smoothed things over: "Since the Prime Minister has said so, let's summon all the officials and let's discuss the matter of establishing a new king. I am young, so I ask the Prime Minister to take more care of this matter."
"Prince...!" Zhao Wen was shocked and froze on the spot after hearing Zhao Yingqi's words.
Lu Jia was overjoyed: "Promise! I will do it now." He quickly winked at Zhao Yu. Fortunately, Zhao Yu was smart this time and ran out of the tent in a panic. (To be continued)
