Chapter 37: Your Majesty has a heart, I'm not afraid
The atmosphere suddenly became a little cold and awkward.
This joke is not funny at all.
Xue Shou didn't react for a moment, but when he did, he burst into laughter, with a little pity in his smile.
That was pity for Du Ruhui's arrogance and pity for the ignorant and weak.
"Ke Ming, I know that the Jingzhao Du family is also a famous family, but can you represent the Du family? Even if you can represent it, can you help the king defeat the Shandong family and the Guanlong family! You are simply talking nonsense and stupid!"
Judging from the strength on paper, the Jingzhao Du family is not strong enough for the Guanlong family to kill. From a practical point of view, the Jingzhao Du family is still not strong enough for the Guanlong family to kill. Therefore, it is not surprising that Xue Shou despises the Jingzhao Du family so much.
Du Ruhui was not angry at Xue Shou's ridicule, but said calmly: "Brother Xue, if you don't do some things, you will never know the results. Although the prince and the King of Qin have the support of the Shandong family and the Guanlong family, they are not absolute.
can succeed
.The fact that the king does not have their support now does not mean that he will not be able to get their support in the future. You are a smart person and you should know that this world is not just black and white. The bustle in the world is for profit, and the turmoil in the world is for profit."
Hearing this, Xue Shou smiled and said: "I admit, what you said does make sense. As long as the prince does not ascend the throne for a day, King Qin, King Qi, King Chu, and even the newly born princes in the palace will all have a chance.
.But Keming, why are you so confident that you can help the king enter the East Palace and even the world under such circumstances?"
"The crown prince's title has been determined early, and he has the support of the Shandong family behind him. The King of Qin has extraordinary military achievements, he is also a direct descendant, and he has the help of Guan Long. How can the king fight against them?"
"Well said!" Du Ruhui said with a smile: "You think so, and others should also think that the king has no chance."
Hearing this, Xue Shou paused and looked at him in surprise.
"Keming, what do you mean?"
Du Ruhui said: "What you just said is very good. The prince has a Shandong family, and the King of Qin has the support of Long. They are two tigers fighting against each other. What does it have to do with the king?"
"You want to reap the benefits?"
"No, I'm just watching with a cold eye."
Xue Shou was silent for a while, then shook his head, "I'm still not optimistic about it."
Du Ruhui was not surprised by his attitude. He just stepped forward and said in a low voice: "In the past, King Qin Xiaowen had more than 20 sons, and King Zhuang Xiang was an ordinary person. How could he not be able to ascend to the throne? Brother Xue, if you are alive in this world,
If you can imitate Marquis Wenxin, you will definitely be proud of your ancestors. If the Xue family in Hedong and the Du family in Jingzhao want to be comparable to each other one day,
Five surnames and seven hopes, this road is the fastest shortcut. You and I are neither direct descendants nor elders in the clan, so we can only gain fame and wealth at the expense of our own lives. You know the history, and you should know that the world is in chaos, which is when heroes emerge in large numbers.
We have an opportunity right in front of us. If we don't seize it, we will only be able to sit and watch other people's wealthy families have dinner banquets in the future, while we live in jail and struggle."
"Of course, if you don't have great ambitions, just think that Du is talking nonsense and don't take it to heart. But Brother Xue, think about the Eight Pillars of the Yuan and Wei Dynasties. If they had not sacrificed their own safety, how could they be where they are today?
The prosperity of Long?"
"The Du family in Jingzhao, others think they are a powerful family, but they appear to be extremely weak in front of the Guanlong family. The Xue family in Hedong is from a famous family. But when it comes to Bingzhou, the world only knows the Wang and Pei families. Brother Xue, you just
Don’t you want your name to go down in history? Don’t you want to provide a good background for your descendants? Don’t you want to make the Xue family in Hedong a famous family?”
After Xue listened, he was silent for a while and said: "I think and I also understand that since ancient times, the power of the dragon has been the greatest, but your idea is too crazy. The king has no advantage in front of the prince and the king of Qin."
"Your Majesty is right. Advantages are accumulated bit by bit." Du Ruhui was persuasive and persuasive. "Right now, the Crown Prince is guarding against the King of Qin, not the King. We can plan our plans slowly. Moreover, Brother Xue, if we push the King over
What will happen to you and me in that position?"
Thump thump!
Xue Shou's heart was beating fiercely. If he really helped the King of Chu ascend to the throne, become rich and powerful, honor his ancestors, and dominate the world...
He suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will leak the news?"
Du Ruhui shook his head.
"Why?" Xue Fang asked.
Du Ruhui said: "Brother Xue, you have just analyzed that the king has no chance of succeeding, so if you say it, who will believe it? At most, people will say that you are trying to provoke the royal brothers."
Hearing this, Xue Shou was speechless. This is true. In the eyes of others, King Chu had no chance of climbing to the top.
Immediately afterwards, Du Ruhui said again: "Actually, Brother Xue, you yourself also want to compete with the king, but you just didn't realize it."
"Impossible?" Xue Shou shook his head and denied, "I have never had such an idea."
"In that case, why do you want to stay in Prince Chu's Mansion instead of going to the East Palace? Now Wang Gui is a popular person around the prince. You are both from Bingzhou. If you follow the prince, your future will be much better than following the king."
Xue Shou was speechless for a moment.
Yes, why doesn't he go to the East Palace?
He thought about it carefully and found that Du Ruhui was not wrong. In his heart, he always believed that the King of Chu was excellent and that he could do better by following the King of Chu.
But in the end, will he be a minister of the King of Chu or a minister of the new king?
He asked himself this question in his heart, and the answer he got was King Chu.
Li Zhiyun was not only his fellow disciple and brother, he had a deep friendship with him, he was also kind to others and never did anything unwise.
Moreover, Li Zhiyun was the first person to reuse him.
Ever since Hedong broke through Qu Tutong, I have always had great faith in him.
Immediately afterwards, Du Ruhui said, "Brother Xue, after knowing the truth, you did not back down, but tried your best to dissuade the king. This shows that you care more about the safety of the king in your heart. You don't know your true thoughts, you just think that the prince
It is insurmountable to the King of Qin. What I said is correct."
The reason why Du Ruhui dared to say this to Xue Shou was because he had considered this. If Xue Shou was really a profit-seeker, he would have already left the King of Chu and joined the East Palace.
But he didn't, he still had King Chu in his heart.
Under Du Ruhui's words, Xue Shou's excitement gradually calmed down, and he asked in a low voice: "How sure are you of success?"
"Now?"
"right."
"Less than 10%."
"You!" Xue Shou suddenly wanted to scold his mother.
Playing tricks on me?
Du Ruhui said: "I'm just telling the truth. The Yunyang Army was almost taken away this time, so the king and I can see clearly that we basically have no allies or political power in the court, so we have no confidence now."
Then what you said is true, so passion is of no use.
"This is a huge gamble of yours."
Du Ruhui smiled and said: "Lu Buwei bets on strangers, Xiao He and Zhang Liang bet on Han Gaozu, Zhuge Wuhou bets on Liu Xuande, none of them are betting big."
"Do you know what will happen if we lose?" Xue Fang asked.
"It's nothing more than death." Du Ruhui didn't care about this, he followed closely: "But if we win, you know very well what we will get. In fact, if you think about it, Fang Xuanling, who is following King Qin,
Zhining, Changsun Wuji and others are also gambling. To a certain extent, although King Qin is a direct descendant, the title of prince has been determined. Unless the prince dies suddenly, how can King Qin ascend to the throne? "
"To take a step back, if one day something happens to the prince, how can King Qi be willing to let King Qin win the throne? Brother Xue, the king's situation is not as bad as you think."
After the words fell, Xue Shou fell into silence.
"If I don't agree, will the king kill me to silence me?"
"No, the king has always regarded you as a brother, a mentor and a helpful friend. If you really don't want to help the king, the king will let you leave."
"I don't believe it." Xue Shou said.
Du Ruhui said: "I don't believe it either."
Hearing this, Xue Shou was stunned at first, and then he looked at Du Ruhui, and the two laughed loudly.
After laughing, Xue Shou licked his chapped lips.
"Keming, you are right. The fight between the Crown Prince and the King of Qin has already begun. The King has no chance."
"Have you thought about it?"
"Yes." Xue Shou said seriously: "Since the king is willing, what do I have to fear?"
