Surela thought for a long time and still didn't know the attitude of Balam and others.
Whether it is true or false, it is impossible to judge at the moment.
If these people had ulterior motives, then he, as the person introduced to the emperor, would be easily implicated. However, once these people really wanted to submit to the Ming Dynasty, he would naturally accept the benefits from these people.
It’s also a huge sum of money.
You know, although he is now the Pope of Zoroastrianism. However, due to Lu Xuan's arrangements, Zoroastrianism is now divided and many people have disobeyed his orders. In addition, the influence of Zoroastrianism has also been weakened, so Surela really needs money.
Only with money can you feel safe.
While Suleila was calculating in her mind, she suddenly thought, what if these people also have the idea of dealing with Lu Xuan, once they succeed? If he succeeded, he would be of great benefit as the Pope of Zoroastrianism.
However, what he has to do now is to put aside the trouble he may encounter once Balam and others really take action.
After Suleila thought of this, he felt certain in his heart. He said tentatively: "Balam, if you want to present the dragon-patterned jade, I'm afraid you are not trying to submit to His Majesty the Emperor, but are you planning to take this opportunity to be detrimental to His Majesty?"
"I definitely don't have this intention."
Balam answered without thinking.
He did not believe in Surella, and even thought that Surella was the emperor's lackey, so he said righteously: "Pope Surella, you know our current situation. Now we, the surviving Parthian nobles, are getting harder and harder day by day. .”
"Every day, I think about how to live in the future and how to make money."
"It just so happens that we can't make any money."
"Therefore, we have only one way to submit to the Ming Dynasty and serve His Majesty the Emperor. Our submission comes from the bottom of our hearts, and there is absolutely no second-guessing. We sincerely ask Pope Surella to understand clearly."
Balam was afraid that Surela would not believe it, so he further said: "Pope Surela is one of his own, and he also knows that we have no troops, no money, no food, and no equipment. We don't have any supplies. How can we fight against the Ming Dynasty?" Woolen cloth?"
After thinking about it in his mind, Surela also laughed. He had already thought about how to distance himself from the relationship.
At this moment, Surela no longer had any taboos.
Surela glanced at Balam and smiled: "Speaking of it, it's not a troublesome thing. Why do you need to give me a gift?"
Balam looked serious and said solemnly: "This is a courtesy and a little bit of our heart. I beg Pope Surela to accept it."
"Bring it in!"
Balam ordered.
He was not a fool. As soon as he heard Surela's words, he already understood the implication of Surela's words and agreed to his request. Balam sneered in his heart. Now Surella was happy. After Lu Xuan was killed, the Ming Dynasty became turbulent. The Ming army withdrew from Ctesiphon. Then Surella would be liquidated.
This is the fate that Surela deserves.
After a while, two people came in carrying a large box. As the box fell to the ground with a clang, Balam walked over, opened the box, and saw a box of sparkling gold and silver jewelry and agate jade.
This is the material gathered by all the nobles.
Although the houses of various families were ransacked, Surela did not conduct a thorough investigation, and Guan Yu did not search them one by one. In addition, there was a time lag. Before Surela and Guan Yu took people to search the houses, Balam and other people from each family A batch of money has been transferred a long time ago.
That's why we were able to gather so many.
Balam had a flattering look on his face and said, "Pope Surela, this is a little thought of ours. When the matter is completed, we will have a generous reward."
Surela glanced at the box and was satisfied.
This is good money.
Surela took the initiative to close the box and said, "Baram, I have accepted the money. You can go back and wait for the news."
"Thank you Pope Surella."
Balram bowed and left.
For him, now that Surela has accepted the gift, the next thing is simple.
Surela looked at Balam's leaving back. When Balam had disappeared from sight, he reopened the box and took a closer look at the treasures and jades in the box.
Once upon a time, he didn't care at all.
Because it's too vulgar.
He doesn't need to worry about these things, he doesn't need to think about them. However, now that the Ming Emperor is here, no one knows what will happen to Zoroastrianism in the future, nor does he know what his future will be like.
Therefore, Surela pays special attention to the money.
Surela ordered people to carefully collect the supplies in the box, and then hurried out of the mansion and headed towards the palace. He came outside the palace to ask for a meeting. When the news reached Lu Xuan's ears, Lu Xuan was listening to Xu Chu's report on the situation.
Xu Chu quickly said: "Your Majesty, the down-and-out nobles led by Balam, Xerxes, Cassander and others have united to prepare to assassinate Your Majesty by taking advantage of the opportunity of presenting treasures."
"They didn't have the opportunity to meet His Majesty, so Balam went to see Surela and offered money to ask Surela for help. Balam's reason was that they, the Parthian nobles, could not survive anymore and wanted to meet His Majesty and ask for His Majesty's help. appointment."
"These people coaxed and exploited Surela."
"It's just that I don't know Surela's position for the time being. Whether he has seen through Balam and others' plans."
Xu Chu said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please make your decision on everything."
After hearing this, Lu Xuan understood it completely, and a smile appeared on his face. Unexpectedly, he really caught some more fish and shrimps this time with the help of confiscation of homes and annihilation of clans. Before, Shapur was killed and all other nobles were confiscated, but Lu Xuan did not kill them all.
Today, these people cannot hold back.
This is the opportunity to kill.
Completely destroy all the Parthian nobles, and kill them openly.
After listening to Xu Chu's report, Lu Xuan also received a notification from the soldiers that Su Leila was here to see him, and ordered: "Let Su Leila come in."
The soldier went to deliver the order. Not long after, Suleila entered the hall. When he saw Lu Xuan, he looked very pious. He knelt three times and kowtowed nine times and said, "Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor."
Lu Xuan said: "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Surella stood up after thanking him, stood respectfully, and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I am here to pay my respects this time because some nobles in Parthia are living a very miserable life."
Lu Xuan snorted and said in a deep voice: "What does their life and death have to do with me?"
"Of course it doesn't matter."
Surella looked like he was speaking righteously and said with certainty: "His Majesty the Emperor is right, they are responsible for their life and death. It's just that these people have made good use of it to benefit His Majesty the Emperor's governance of Anxi, so I came here See you in person.”
Lu Xuan knew that this was Suleila's words, and asked along the way: "Tell me, why is it beneficial to governing Anxi?"
