When Bu Shuo arrived, there were already several guards with swords standing on both sides of the study.
He walked to the middle, lifted up his robe, knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and saluted, "My lord, I'm here to see you, Your Majesty."
The Spirit King stood above him, hands behind his back, staring at him sideways, his face gloomy and speechless.
The atmosphere at the scene was a bit depressing, and anyone could feel it.
Bu Shuo didn't know what happened. King Ling didn't signal, and he didn't dare to get up. He could only look at his face secretly, and said tentatively: "I don't know, I don't know what your Majesty's orders are when he calls me here."
"See for yourself!" King Ling finally spoke, throwing the secret letter in front of Bu Shuo with a wave of his hand.
Such an attitude startled the latter. After picking it up and looking at it, his expression suddenly changed and he quickly said: "This, Your Majesty!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, King Ling pointed his finger and shouted: "Bu Shuo! I trust you so much! I wanted to hand over a million troops to you for deployment, but before the war, you secretly communicated with the King of Qin and surrendered to the enemy and treason!"
"Your Majesty! I have been wronged!" Bu Shuo's current mood can be imagined, and he said anxiously: "This letter must be a treacherous plot by the King of Qin! I, from the beginning to the end, have never had any contact with the Qin thieves. Your Majesty knows it for sure. ah!"
"Unjustly accused?" King Ling sneered, "Then tell me, how did King Qin know that our army planned to attack Longmen, and how did he allow you to continue to advise? Such arrangements are the secrets of our army, and only senior officials present at the meeting The general only knows, please don’t tell me that the contents of the military meeting have been leaked!”
"This, this, I don't know, but this letter is really ridiculous! It's made out of nothing!" Bu Shuo was eager to defend, but he couldn't find the words to prove it.
Of course, the Spirit King would not be satisfied with such an answer, and continued to shout: "Bu Shuo! It's a shame that this letter is exposed, otherwise, my great spirit will be destroyed at your hands!"
"This, this, this, why did your Majesty say this? I am devoted to the country. I advocate attacking Longmen because it is a strategic key point. I just want to defeat the Qin thieves and protect the security of the country..."
"How dare you mention Longmen!" King Ling was furious, "The plan of King Qin is waiting at Longmen! I'm afraid that when you attack, it's time for you to send my head to King Qin to ask for credit!"
The incident about Longmen in the letter made him furious, and he shouted loudly. Murong Yan beside him was too frightened to say anything, his Adam's apple slipped, and he swallowed secretly.
Cheng Ping's face was full of worry and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't.
In this situation, Bu Shuo was silent at first, then raised his head and looked at the Spirit King, and said in a serious voice: "Your Majesty, my ancestors for three generations have all been loyal and good spirits. How dare I betray God's grace? Even if I die on the battlefield, I have this intention." , it can also illuminate the sun and the moon!"
At this point, his eyes turned red.
Mentioning the three generations of his ancestors, King Ling couldn't help but take a deep breath and softened his tone: "Then tell me whether King Qin has written to you before."
"Your Majesty clearly knows that there is indeed a letter sent the previous time." Bu Shuo said: "General Murong was also present at that time, and I even gave it to him to read."
"This, yes." Murong Yan said quickly.
The Spirit King said again: "Then why don't you retaliate!"
"That letter was just a little plan by King Qin to disturb people's hearts before the war. In my opinion, why should I bother your Majesty with such a trivial matter." After Bu Shuo finished speaking, he followed up: "I have a grievance now, and I can't argue with you. I only hope for His Majesty’s Holy Judgment.”
"A trivial matter?" This sentence aroused the Spirit King's dissatisfaction again. A cold light flashed across his eyes, and he had already shown some murderous intent, but after squinting for a moment, he hesitated again.
With King Ling's character, if something like this happened, no matter whether there was a conclusion or not, it would be impossible for him to hand over military command to Bu Shuo again.
Cheng Ping, as a close minister, could be said to know King Ling very well. Seeing the change in his expression, he quickly stood up and said at the right time: "Your Majesty, there are many suspicious things about this matter. We cannot make a hasty conclusion just because of a secret letter. I also believe that General Bu Shuo is a loyal and righteous man, and he will never surrender to the enemy and treason!"
The Spirit King turned to look at him, his thoughts changing.
Seeing this, Cheng Ping understood that King Ling was suspicious, and it was impossible to just let it go. Therefore, he retreated to the next best thing and said quickly: "I suggest that just in case, it is better to transfer General Bu Shuo first." Stay away from the front line and wait until the matter is clarified before making a final decision."
This is Bao Busuo's life.
It was also the most satisfactory result for King Ling. After hearing this, he thought for a moment, pointed to Bu Shuo and said, "Go back to the capital first! Without the king's orders, you cannot leave the house even one step!"
"Your Majesty! Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, what should I do if I leave..." Bu Shuo said anxiously.
But in the eyes of King Ling, he had been forgiving enough, and he couldn't help but said angrily: "Shut up! Bu Shuo! Do you think that no one but you, the general of Ling Kingdom, can fight?"
"That's not what I meant, but..." Bu Shuo still wanted to defend.
But the Spirit King had already interrupted him directly, shouting to the left and right: "Don't take him away yet!"
"No!" the guard responded, one to the left and the other to the right. He stepped forward without forcing him, but stretched out his hand sideways: "General Bu, please."
At this point, Bu Shuo understood that he could no longer explain it, but he still refused to accept it and said: "Your Majesty, I am wronged!"
The Spirit King frowned and waved his hand.
The guards on the left and right no longer greeted him respectfully, but began to hold him and leave.
"This is King Qin's treacherous plan! Your Majesty has learned from it, Your Majesty has learned from it——"
Bu Shuo was still shouting loudly when he was pulled down.
When his voice disappeared, the Spirit King waved his hand to order the guards to retreat. He couldn't help but take a deep breath and said quietly: "If this matter is true, the consequences will be really unimaginable. Fortunately, it was discovered in time."
Cheng Ping looked at his face and said calmly: "Your Majesty, you still remember that when Qin attacked Jin, the King of Jin wanted to alienate Su Yi, but he was plotted by the King of Qin, which led to the defeat of Puyang. From ancient times to the present , What a general fears most is the suspicion of the monarch."
"Do you also think this is King Qin's treacherous plan?" King Ling asked.
Cheng Ping said: "I dare not say for sure, but the possibility is very high. After all, King Qin is treacherous and everyone knows it."
Hearing this, King Ling frowned, "But how did King Qin know that Bu Shuo was admonishing to attack Longmen secretly? This has to be thought-provoking."
"this......"
This is the key point. To put it bluntly, the success of this alienation plan lies in its authenticity, which prevents the Spirit King from being careless.
It is simply impossible for him to throw away all doubts and hand over military power to Bu Shuo.
He is not the King of Qin Xiao Yuan, and he does not have the courage to grant Su Yi the King Sword.
Nor does he have the heart to trust others when he is employed and not to doubt others when he is not employed.
Regarding the key point of this matter, seeing that Cheng Ping could not say anything, King Ling shook his head slightly and said: "Bu Shuo must be cautious no matter what. Now, there is no need to think about the full-line deployment of the sneak attack on Longmen. It is better to think about it another time." Let’s find a way to fight.”
After saying that, he also looked at Murong Yan: "The defeat of the Qin army cannot be delayed any longer. The general should discuss a good attack strategy with Huang Zu and others."
"My lord, I pledge my loyalty to the death! I am willing to share your worries for Your Majesty!" Murong Yan quickly knelt down and clasped his fists in a loud voice.
