The King of Shu, who was drinking, suddenly stopped. The wine glass was held in his hand, and his body leaned forward. His originally dim eyes looked straight over, and he stared at Ma Youliang with a sinister look. He was stunned for a moment, then fell silent. He asked: "Where did Mr.'s plan come from?"
Ma Youliang allowed the king to look at him suspiciously. This was normal. In such a situation where the situation was over, if he suddenly offered a "dangerous plan", he would most likely be bribed to lay a trap.
But Ma Youliang smiled and continued: "My lord, please have no doubt, someone has found Wei Chen..."
After a pause, he seemed a little unsure of how to explain it, and just sighed: "The identity of that person shocked even the smallest ministers."
"Are you shocked?" King Shu was a little stunned, and then relaxed a little: "Is that person's identity very strange? Who is it? Let me guess, could it be King Qi?"
Ma Youliang shook his head, and the King of Shu continued to guess: "Prince of Qinghe County?"
Ma Youliang shook his head again.
The King of Shu guessed a few more people, but none of them were right. Finally, as if a bolt of lightning struck his mind, he suddenly said, "Could it be that they are remnants of the previous dynasty?"
As soon as these words came out, Ma Youliang didn't shake his head. Although he didn't nod, his silence was equivalent to acquiescence.
"Are you really a remnant of the previous dynasty?" King Shu was really surprised now: "How did they find you? Are they coming for me? Who is it? Is it possible..."
A name appeared in King Shu's mind, but this guess made him a little unbelievable.
"Is it the Cao Yiyan from the previous clan?"
After Cao Yiyan was a clan member of the previous dynasty, he was stabbed out by Ma Shunde and strangled multiple strongholds. This was no secret, at least to the King of Shu.
But the remnants of the previous dynasty dared to come to the door even though everyone was shouting for beatings. It was really shocking!
However, Ma Youliang nodded under the gaze of the King of Shu: "Your Majesty, it is indeed true. The master behind the man who is looking for the minister is Cao Yiyan. Ma Shunde found out the identity of Cao Yiyan. He is the clan member of the previous dynasty. We have a close relationship with Yingguo.”
"What do you mean?" King Shu's eyes lit up and he looked at his counselor expectantly.
Ma Youliang felt relieved when he saw that the king finally cheered up. He was not afraid of anything else. What he was most afraid of was that the king would not recover.
If it fails to recover, it will be useless no matter how hard you plan, after all, the king himself has admitted defeat.
"I have to admit that the foundation of the former Wei Dynasty was weak, people were dissatisfied, and they were on the verge of falling apart. However, starting from Wei Shizu, who ascended the throne at the age of 8, the 14-year-old boy emperor first eliminated and exiled powerful ministers, then reorganized the system, and gradually took control of the country. , when he was 21 years old, he first took over the Shu territory in Guanzhong, and then at the age of 28, he swept across the Southern Dynasties and unified the world."
"In the fifty-second year of Emperor Yu's reign, when he passed away, the dust in the north of the desert was clear, guests from all over the world were in submission, people's hearts were attached, the country was peaceful and the people were safe, and the Hu people not only did not dare to go south to herd horses, but instead offered sacrifices every year in order to have peace."
"Although there will be twists and turns in the following dynasties, the light and darkness are uncertain, but the vast territory and the prosperity of the country are still far ahead of the past dynasties, and the 484th year of the country was unforgettable."
When Ma Youliang said this, his admiration turned into viciousness.
"Taizu and Jinshang have repeatedly tried to pull out the ropes, but although they are effective, they have not achieved full success."
"Now is a great opportunity."
"Cao Yiyan's original intention was not worth mentioning. He saw that the king was in trouble, so he provided support, intelligence, internal resources, and even military power to the king, with the intention of disrupting Dazheng."
"This person's heart is so destructive that I don't know if you, Your Majesty, want him." Ma Youliang lowered his voice and said.
Although these words were spoken softly, to King Shu, they were like a thunderous blow that made his ears buzz, but most of the heavy weight on his heart dissipated!
"Yes, of course!" King Shu said with a ruthless look on his face, "It's nothing else, my father is so impeccable in his work, and I don't know how many soldiers and people in the government he has arranged for me!"
"I can say that if I closed the door and acted arrogantly, they would all be obedient. But if I went overboard, not only did I immediately put it on my father's desk, but also that night, I was a loyal guard. Then he captured this king.”
"Borrowing troops, even if you seek skin from a tiger, you will do it!"
"Not to mention, borrowing troops can uproot the foundations of the former Wei Dynasty and wipe them all out in one fell swoop, so as to eliminate Dazheng's ten thousand years of trouble."
Seeing the king's attitude, Ma Youliang also showed joy and immediately said: "Your Majesty, you finally understand. Even though the king is a prince, he has been working hard for more than ten years, and the people he can use are not as good as fifty."
"This is the system, this is the status."
"Only by bringing in outside forces can we break the situation. The envoy is already in the house. He is a businessman. He pretended to have something to ask you, so I asked him to follow him temporarily."
"Even if outsiders know it, they won't be suspicious if they see that they are just a businessman!"
This is to prevent the emperor from placing people in the Shu Palace.
When the King of Shu heard that the man was outside, he became more and more satisfied: "Let him come in!"
Ma Youliang immediately went out to call for someone. After a while, a businessman in his forties who looked quite elegant and kind followed Ma Youliang in.
As soon as they met, King Shu felt a little contemptuous in his heart.
This is indeed a businessman. Whether it is his appearance, demeanor or clothing, it can be seen that he is indeed a person who is accustomed to doing business.
Could such a person be the messenger of the remnants of the previous dynasty?
"Foreign Minister Liu Danai pays homage to the king."
After the man came in, he introduced himself to his home, and after saying that, he went to pay homage to the King of Shu.
"In the whole world, are you a minister of the king? You, a mere merchant, dare to bark wildly and call yourself a foreign minister?" The King of Shu suddenly changed his color and struck the case hard with a "bang" sound.
Although the King of Shu is now defeated in the fight for the rightful son, he is still a prince, and even more so a prince. He is in charge of the power of life and death for countless people. When his face is downcast, he has a solemn and majestic look.
However, although Liu Danai paid a deep visit and the etiquette was in place, there was no fear on his face. After hearing about it, it can be seen that this fearless look is not pretending, nor is it forced, but he is really not afraid.
The initial contempt of the King of Shu dissipated a lot after seeing the envoy's attitude. Although a merchant is humble, a businessman who is not afraid of death is quite interesting. He asked: "Why, are you not afraid of me, the king will take you down?" , sent to the Ministry of Punishment and cut into pieces?"
Liu Danai was a remnant of the previous dynasty. Although he was not the leader, he should have known something since he was sent as an envoy.
If such a person fell into the hands of the emperor, countless tortures would have to be taken in order to pry his mouth open.
As for the remnants of the previous dynasty, such punishments as skinning and being tortured are not uncommon.
Maybe death is not very terrible. Liu Danai is not afraid of such a tragic death at all and is confident that he can survive it?
Moreover, even if it fell into the hands of the King of Shu, if he was not sent up and killed directly, wouldn't it be equivalent to losing his life in vain?
Even if you really weren't afraid of death, you wouldn't be willing to die like that, right?
Ants live in vain, let alone humans?
"Your Majesty, the villain's ancestors are actually from hundreds of households in the Imperial City of Wei. They are familiar with the inside story. How can there be anyone in the world who can survive the torture? It's just a legend, but the so-called ignorant people have nothing to fear."
"But the villain knows the inside story, so of course he is afraid, and he will not be able to survive the punishment."
Liu Danai smiled, his eyes flashed, and said: "That's why the villain came and put poison in his teeth. As long as he bites them into pieces, the poison will be released immediately."
"The villain is afraid that this is not safe. Maybe he held down the villain, pulled out the teeth, and took the poison before coming. Whether the villain was taken down or detained, and he did not go back to take the antidote, he would not have to wait for a while. day, he will be poisoned and die."
"It only takes one day, but the villain can still survive. In this way, everything is safe."
Liu Danai admitted that he could not withstand the punishment, but the king of Shu sighed secretly and felt a sense of fear. Although the former Wei Dynasty was dead, his virtue was not exhausted!
