The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 762

[Chapter 762: Past Martial Arts]

Liu Cheng had a hesitant expression on his face, and he didn’t know whether he should say something or not.

In fact, his heart was inclined to say nothing, but His Majesty kept asking, and he had to answer.

You can’t even give a false answer.

Although the current situation is not optimistic.

But in Liu Cheng’s eyes, Your Majesty will always be His Majesty.

He would never dare to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor.

So, after hesitating for a moment, he replied: “In response to your majesty, Linzehou has now taken his soldiers to Qingzhou, which is very close to the Zhongyuan Road, Jiangnan Road, and Lianghu Road.

Your Majesty sent him to the south. None of the letters came back. They must have been intercepted by Linze Hou’s people.”

When Emperor Chu heard this, he was already prepared in his heart. He just took a deep breath and didn’t say anything more. , continued to ask: “What about the letters sent to the four northern states?”

There are five important towns in the four northern states.

It is the real defense of Da Chu. If the generals of those five important towns can receive the letter, they can clear the king’s side.

Then

Da Chu can still be saved.

There is still hope for the Chu royal family!

But the answer was obviously not as good as he imagined.

Liu Cheng hesitated for a moment, then said: “Your Majesty, Xin, my servant guessed that it should be in the four northern states, but the generals in the important towns may not pay attention.

Even if they saw it, they would just pretend not to see it.

” As soon as it came out, Emperor Chu was stunned.

He frowned tightly and looked at Liu Cheng, not understanding what he meant at all.

how?

Could it be that the generals in the important towns had been bribed by Fang Xiu a long time ago?

Why doesn’t he know any news?

What do the people in the Secret Service do for food?

What do Liu Cheng’s people do for food?

Liu Cheng obviously understood what Emperor Chu was thinking. After hesitating for a moment, he still said: “Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly.

Even if the generals in the important northern town do not know what is going on, they will only choose to watch the fire from the other side.

They are facing the imperial court .”

The dissatisfaction is no longer a matter of a day or two.

You should know this in

one or two sentences. “

Before he finished speaking, he heard Emperor Chu say angrily: “I don’t know!

Liu Cheng hurriedly knelt down and said humbly: “My slave deserves to die, my slave deserves to die!”

When

Emperor Chu saw this scene, he took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions.

He knew that the only person he could use was Liu Cheng.

Apart from Liu Cheng, he has no one else he can trust.

Therefore, he just softened his tone and said: “I really don’t know. I think I treat the generals in the important towns in the north very well.

Why are you so sure that at this critical juncture, they will choose to watch the fire from the other side.”

Liu Cheng raised his eyes and glanced at Emperor Chu, and saw that Emperor Chu was really confused.

He was quite speechless in his heart.

It turns out that His Majesty really doesn’t know about something that is so simple to understand?

“Your Majesty, I think very simply, and I see people very simply. Therefore, in my eyes, except for Your Majesty, everyone else is also very simple.”

This was said without any clue. Emperor Chu frowned, not understanding what he wanted to say at all.

He waved his hand and said: “Be more straightforward, don’t worry, I don’t blame you.”

After Emperor Chu said this, Liu Chenggang gained some confidence and slowly said: “What I mean is that what the generals in the important town think It’s very simple.

Your Majesty, you are sitting in this position. They don’t have much money, and they can’t even pay the soldiers. They have to prepare their own weapons and

have to be wary of the grassland tribes all the time .

Days

like this. For more than ten years or decades, the people of Gyeonggi and Jiangnan Province still did not care about their kindness.

Many merchants from Jiangnan Province even called barbarians “

slaves ” when they came to the four northern states.

, I will definitely be dissatisfied with you.”

With the last words, he realized something as soon as he spoke, and knelt down to apologize again: “I deserve to die, I deserve to die, I said the wrong thing again.”

Emperor Chu didn’t have the time to pay attention to him .

.

He was thinking about what Liu Cheng said.

It wasn’t the words that puzzled him.

But these words surprised him and shocked him.

It turns out that the soldiers in the four northern states thought this way. Why had he never thought of it before?

After thinking for a long time, he was still puzzled. Emperor Chu couldn’t help but look at Liu Cheng and asked, “How did you think of these things?”

Liu Cheng heard Emperor Chu’s question, hesitated for a moment, and replied: “I think this is a very clear thing, everyone can see it, and your majesty and all the princes must also be able to imagine it.

My slave, my slave,”

said this , with a hesitant expression on his face, he opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn’t dare to speak.

When Emperor Chu saw this scene, he frowned and waved his hand: “Speak boldly!”

Liu Cheng then dared to say: “I feel that your Majesty and the generals do not need the generals from the towns in the four northern states. , so you don’t take them seriously. Your

Majesty

and the princes don’t take their memorials and requests, whether it’s pay or weapons, as just a trivial matter.

What seems like a small matter to the generals in the important towns is a top priority.

As time goes by, the generals in the important towns must have grudges.

And at this time, your Majesty can use the generals in the important towns again. , I paid attention to the generals in the important towns, so I had these doubts. “

In the past, Liu Cheng would not have dared to say these words.

It’s different now.

Because Liu Cheng saw it clearly.

Your Majesty and the princes above the court are now like grasshoppers in a pot, with so many people surrounding them, watching and staring.

You stay in the pot peacefully and nothing happens.

If you want to jump out of the pot, there is a problem.

The martial artists headed by Xin’an Hou were the people surrounding the pot, watching for anyone who wanted to jump out of the pot at any time.

In other words,

His Majesty and the princes above the court have lost control over the martial artists.

Your Majesty and the princes above the court have always looked down upon Wu Xun.

But this is all based on the obedience of the warriors. If one day the warriors disobey.

Then they will realize how important these martial arts are.

Even far more important than the princes above the court.

Unfortunately, they understood this truth too late.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on His Majesty and the princes above the court.

As the saying goes, the power of the world will inevitably divide if it is united for a long time, and it will unite if it is divided for a long time.

It stands to reason that Da Chu is still far away from the time when the warriors will cause trouble.

However, who knew that there would be a fairy-like figure among Wu Xun – the Marquis of Xin’an!

What a pity, what a pity!

Liu Chengxin sighed silently, actually seeing it more clearly than Emperor Chu!
