Chapter 37 The positions of the hunter and the prey have been exchanged!

When the four of them exited the hall, they changed from the fear inside. There was still a little bit of nervousness and caution. Even Ma Suiliang, who had survived the disaster, did not show too many surprises.

When facing that person, they naturally kept their posture to the lowest level, but after leaving this door and this palace, the four of them should be the most powerful people in the world.

"This time, thanks to Mr. Cheng's idea, I was able to escape my life. From now on, I will become the Minister of the Ministry of War, and I will be regarded as a soldier under Mr. Cheng. Please bear with me!"

After taking a few steps, Ma Suiliang turned around and saluted Cheng Yijie.

"Old Ma, what are you talking about? We have gone through all the ups and downs on the battlefield together. Why are you so polite to me? You treat me like an outsider, don't you? Besides, do you really think His Majesty will kill you? Look at you

The old god's look on his face told me that you had already guessed it. As for the imperial emissary, Your Majesty just said it casually. Can he really take away the position of your emissary? It will be returned to you in two days!"

Hearing Cheng Yijie's words, Ma Suiliang did not show happiness, but felt a little unmotivated.

"Give it back to me? Old Cheng, you still don't understand our emperor very well! It's true that he doesn't want to kill me, but when it comes to taking away my imperial emissary, he has long wanted to do so, but I have always been indifferent to it.

It’s just that I didn’t give him an old face, but this time he just happened to get the chance!”

Seeing Ma Suiliang's look, Cheng Yijie felt a little sad in his heart. This could be seen from his suddenly stopped laughing expression.

"Yes! It's not just you. Apart from Lao Su's phase, the positions of the three of us are all unstable! It seems that the emperor is a little bit dissatisfied with our dominance."

"I'm talking about Lao Cheng, you're talking about me and Lao Ma, right? Your position started to become unstable. Are you kidding me?"

He Ren'an, who had never spoken a word from the beginning to the end, spoke up. Regarding the fact that he didn't like to talk in the court or the meeting hall, there were two points. One was that he really didn't like to talk, and the other was that his brain was not bright enough.

I really can't think of any ideas.

Over the years, I have only said a few words in front of these friends who have had life-long friendships.

"Lao He, don't believe me. Let's come to my house another day and we can chat about it."

Since everyone felt that their status was somewhat unstable, that's why Cheng Yijie made such a proposal.

"I'm telling you, you guys know how to engage in such nonsense. Why can't you think carefully about what a king, a king, and a minister are? If you really understood, would you still have caused so much trouble to the emperor? Would your status be unstable? Doesn't he dislike it?

You guys, he doesn’t want to see you guys occupying the latrine and not shitting!”

Su Wang had a headache when he saw these few people who had just come out of the hall and were acting extremely unreliable.

"Forget it, forget it, Lao Su, forget it if you don't come, don't ruin our interest!"

"Hehehe, you guys! You talk about discussing countermeasures, but in the end it's just drinking and having fun, so I won't join in the fun."

"Old Su, aren't you just afraid of that tigress in your family? Why don't you just join in the fun? You used to have no fewer tricks than the rest of us."

It was Cheng Yijie who spoke, but Su Wang saw that he was about to get angry, so he quickly shook his head with a wry smile and left.

"What did Lao Su just say about kings, kings and ministers?"

Although the name of Ho Yan On, a big and rough man, sounds like he is quite knowledgeable, in fact he has never read a book for a day. Later, when he became an official, he was forced to study by two emperors successively. It was just a show, so naturally he couldn't listen.

I understand what Su Wang said.

"Hmph! Ignore him. His position is as stable as a rock, and his son is a close friend of the prince. He may take over from him in the future. Of course, don't panic. Let's go to Lao Cheng's house to do the summation some other day.

"

Ma Suiliang, who was no longer the imperial emissary, said this to He Ren'an. After that, the three of them agreed on a date to get together and left.



Just after Su Wang and the others left, Chu Zheng did not get up in a hurry. He was still sitting on the dragon chair, tapping the armrest.

"Wu Chan, tell me, how were those people just now?"

"Your Majesty, I don't dare to discuss the government's affairs arbitrarily!"

The eunuch standing behind Chu Zheng did not act rashly just because he was the emperor's close confidant.

As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. You never know whether his plain words are trying to test you. Therefore, when facing a creature like the emperor, you'd better be alert, otherwise, you may be unaware of it.

In your sleep, you will be labeled with some bad label by him.

"It's okay. I'm in a bad mood today. You can talk to me. No matter what you say, I'll forgive you!"

Since Chu Zheng had spoken, Wu Chan naturally did not dare to delay, so he pondered for a while.

"This... Your Majesty, in the eyes of this old slave, Mr. Su, the Prime Minister of the country, worked hard for the country and died. This is also obvious to everyone. Mr. Cheng, not to mention how many achievements he has made, can be regarded as conscientious.

only…"

"Don't be afraid, keep talking."

Seeing that Wu Chan was worried, Chu Zheng encouraged him.

"Yes, Your Majesty. It's just that the Royal Envoy, Lord Ma, and the Central Command, Lord He, have not made any achievements in their positions. They are in their positions, but they do not pursue their own affairs. It is true that... it is a waste of the effectiveness of these two official positions.

"

Hearing Wu Chan's words, Chu Zheng's face showed bitterness. This is also the result Wu Chan wants to see. After staying with the emperor for so many years, you can probably guess what he is thinking and what he wants to hear.

One or two.

As for the emperor, he was also very clear that Wu Chan said it according to his own wishes, but it didn't matter. He just wanted to find someone who could talk to him about what was on his mind. This was also the tacit understanding between him and Wu Chan over the years.

.

In fact, the emperor's profession can be said to be the loneliest. He has never had anyone to care for him, including his bed partner. Occasionally, he just exchanges a few words with the people who are close to him, which does not count.

What I say is from my heart, and most of it can only be stored in my heart.

"I know what you said, but they are all heroes of Chu. When my father suffered from illness due to the war and passed away early, I ascended to the throne at a young age. The sudden turmoil in the court was also their fault.

With full support, I can secure the throne in time. But it has been so many years. Counting from my father, it must have been forty-five years! It should be enough for them to just sit on their merits and suck the blood of Da Chu.

Bar!"

Then, Chu Zheng took a breath. Wu Chan behind him did not take this opportunity to speak. After leading the conversation, he should just be a listener honestly, or the kind of listener who has to forget quickly after listening.

guest.

"I'm not the kind of person who doesn't appreciate gratitude. If they can hand over their official positions, it won't be a problem for me to grant a few more kings with other surnames. My father started from scratch and didn't have any brothers or cousins. I can still afford a few thrones, and

Isn’t it better to make money with this throne in hand than their imperial emissary orders and central orders?”

"I just want to get back some real power that has no effect in their hands and use it where it should be used. But I have reminded them no less than ten times, openly or secretly, just to pretend in front of me.

I am deaf and mute and unwilling to hand over my official position. In the end, I still have to find ways to get my official position back."

"Actually, I didn't think about killing Ma Suiliang tonight. No matter what, my previous achievements were enough to save him from death. I just want to get back the imperial order in his hand. Even if Cheng Yijie doesn't come forward,

If you talk to me, I will find a reason to let him go and just get the imperial order back, and the method Cheng Yijie thought of gave me a step down."

"Your Majesty, as the Emperor, you have the final say whether to kill or not to kill!"

Wuchan doesn't have to express his own opinions on the matter, but the flattery is still necessary.

"Hahaha, you! Either you don't understand the affairs of the court, or you are pretending to be confused and deliberately want to make me happy."

At this moment, Wu Chan, who had always been cold and cold, showed some embarrassment for the first time on his face.

"Your Majesty, when you were very young, the late Emperor asked me to be responsible for your safety. So, to be disrespectful, I have watched you grow up. Others don't know, but I don't know yet.

Well, in these years, I am afraid that you are the happiest person in the Chu State."

Hearing Wu Chan's words, Chu Zheng's always calm eyes filled with warmth.

"You are interested! But they don't understand. They always think that all the blessings in the world have been enjoyed by me alone. They always think that they can live on their merits for the rest of their lives. They even want future generations to continue to enjoy them. But I will not agree.

this world

The world is not owned by one family, but by the common people. I always want to take back their official uniforms. There are still many people in Dachu who cannot afford to eat. It’s time for me to do something for them!"

"If the emperor can think so, it is really a blessing for all people."

Chu Zheng ignored Wu Chan's flattery and just walked out of the meeting hall, speaking smoothly.

"Let's go to the Regency Palace to rest tonight! Things about slaying demons have changed, and I have to make some arrangements. You send someone to send a message to the queen, and I will visit her another day."

"yes."

Wuchan gave a few instructions to the little eunuch who was following them and then let him do his work. He quickly ran up a few steps and stood behind Chu Zheng again.



The next night, Ma Suiliang followed the emperor's instructions and came to Huimenglou again. He also ordered the two girls from yesterday to accompany him. The only thing he didn't know was that compared with yesterday, there was no one behind the door today.

In the side room, there was an extremely coquettish beauty looking at him. She was none other than Hua Xueji, the saint of the Hehuan Sect. Standing behind her was the flower lady in charge.

"Two little beauties, did I say something to you yesterday that I shouldn't have said?"

Ma Suiliang's words made the two prostitutes who could only do intelligence work eclipse their beauty. Of course, the two people in the room were not surprised at all. After all, they were people who had seen the big world, and they would not be willing to do anything for such trivial matters.

Suspicious.

"Hahaha, you don't have to be nervous, don't look at who I am! Even the emperor, who is a great hero of Chu, doesn't dare to punish me easily! Don't you want to know the news? I will tell you everything today. I will arrive when I arrive.

Let’s see who dares to catch me!”

Different from yesterday, today he, Ma Suiliang, was here to reveal the news, so naturally he was not afraid of anything.

"This news..."

Ma Suiliang had just started talking, but the saint inside had no intention of listening anymore.

"Let's go, there's nothing good to hear."

"Here, Saint, let's listen to it again so that we can make more detailed arrangements!"

The flower girl saw that her saint was a little arrogant, so she had to speak boldly to persuade her.

"It's nothing good to hear. It's no different from the result I speculated last night. I'm a little surprised that Ma Suiliang can still come back to the Dream Tower alive. To be precise, he can still appear in the Dream Tower. It seems that the imperial court

Li’s views on the Demon Sect have changed somewhat.”

Hua Xue Ji said a lot of things, Hua Niang didn't know what they meant at all. If she didn't understand, she had to ask, so she just opened her mouth.

"What does the saint mean by this!"

Faced with the ignorance of her subordinates, Hua Xueji did not get angry, but explained to her seriously.

"First, if Ma Suiliang doesn't come back to Menglou again, it means that Chu Zheng and those righteous sects are going to the dark side. And the Ma Suiliang who exposed the news, not to mention killing him, but at least

I won’t let him be exposed to others again.”

"Secondly, yesterday I thought carefully about how Chu Zheng could maximize his interests when our demon sect knew the news. The only way was to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. When both sides were hurt, his tiger would come down to clear the place, and the good demon would

Both sides have to look at his eyes to act, and Chu Zheng doesn't know that we already know the complete news, so he will definitely send Ma Suiliang to repeat the same trick to reveal the news to me. Now, isn't this coming!

"

As she spoke, Hua Xueji's lips showed an inexplicable smile.

"Now, the situation has reversed. Judging from the current situation, Chu Zheng will not tell the righteous sects what the Demon Sect already knows, so now, the righteous sects are the only ones who are kept in the dark.

, the positions of the hunter and the prey have been exchanged!"

Hua Niang was a little frightened when she heard Hua Xueji's analysis. She didn't understand how her saint analyzed the information from clues, but with such a saint, why worry about the Hehuan Sect not being happy!

In fact, what she doesn't know is that this is the basic quality of almost every sect leader. Not to mention Hua Xueji, even the bosses of second- and third-rate sects know these situations and can also restore everything.

Again, it is really not easy for one person to drag a large family to make a living in the world! High martial arts skills are not enough, you have to use your IQ to make up for it!
