The world doesn’t need a human king?
It turned out to be this reason, Liu Rong was stunned!
It seems that his persistence has turned into a joke at this moment. The so-called loyalty in his heart is only towards the Emperor of Liang!
However, the human king, what he needs to face is the human race in the world.
"So, you want to say that I was wrong?"
Liu Rong understood that when Su Lie said so much, he actually wanted to explain it to himself and was worried that he had made a mistake.
It seems that I really did something wrong!
Is the King of Humans really that important?
"Yes! You did something wrong, but you were right!"
Su Lie said directly without thinking: "From the perspective of a minister, you are loyal to the country and the emperor, so you are naturally blameless.
But if we look at the bigger picture, on the basis of being a member of the human race, can the millions of victims in the North be no match for the emperor of the Liang Kingdom?
You know, the Emperor of Liang watched millions of people suffer from the disaster, and used this to blackmail the human king of Jinhua Mansion!
Which one is better or worse does not need to be judged by the gods of the Han River!
However, if you, as a human race, try to shake the tree to stop the King of Humans, the ending will never be too beautiful.
It's all in vain! "
Is this advice?
Is this the advice of a Dragon King?
It seems like it is, but it doesn’t seem like it!
Liu Rong suddenly thought of a question. He suddenly raised his head and stared into Su Lie's eyes. After a while, he frowned and asked, "So, you have already surrendered to the King of Humans and are here to be a lobbyist?"
Su Lie smiled bitterly: "Is it possible that the Palace Master doesn't believe me?"
Liu Rong didn't even think about it and answered directly: "Before today, I would have disbelieved anyone, but I would not have disbelieved you!
However, after what you said just now, I don’t dare to believe you too much!
As a god, you speak for the King of Humans like this. Do you think I can help but suspect that you have surrendered to the King of Humans? "
Su Lie sighed and said: "If I were not in the position of the Dragon King, I would just be a dragon you rescued. The grace of saving my life comes naturally, and life and death follow me.
How could I leave you and seek refuge with others, even if the other party is a human king!
The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring. This is the principle of the human race, and it is also the principle of the dragon race!
If I, as a dragon king, am granted a title by the human race, all the water gods in the rivers, lakes, and seas of the world are closely related to the destiny of the human race.
Therefore, if you speak from this position, you will naturally be on the side of the King of Humans.
After all, we, the water gods, and the human race are both prosperous and destructive!
But no matter what, I will never harm you! "
What Su Lie said was true and sincere, his words Liu Rongxin!
"So, you still want to say, I was wrong?"
Liu Rong's words made Su Lie smile bitterly: "Master Fu, let's do this right and wrong!
Just like everything in this world has Yin and Yang, so does your choice!
As the saying goes, eating the emperor's salary and worrying about the emperor's worries, you are an official of the Daliang Kingdom, and the object of your loyalty should naturally be the Daliang Emperor.
But you are a citizen of the human race, so you should be loyal to the human king, not to mention that the human king is thinking about the millions of people in the north who have been affected by the disaster.
Rather than an Emperor Liang who watched millions of people starve and remained indifferent, just to use these victims as bargaining chips to negotiate with the benevolent king!
It doesn't matter what's right or wrong, it's just a stance! "
Liu Rong fell into deep thought, and Su Lie didn't bother him. He simply walked out and went back to the Han River.
Suddenly, a servant hurried in and reported: "Master, there is a Taoist priest outside the door asking to see you!"
Really?
Su Lie's guess was correct. The fight on the street was indeed deliberately for his own sake.
But I don’t know if this is a fight or a joke?
"Taoist priest? Please come in!"
Liu Rong said, but did not go out to greet him.
What a joke, it’s just a Taoist priest who comes to ask for a meeting, and he still needs to go out to greet him?
We are the fourth grade prefect!
The Taoist priest is not an old Taoist priest, but a middle-aged Taoist priest with five long black beards, perhaps in his 30s or 40s.
Anyway, he looks very young and energetic, not the kind of old Taoist priest with white hair and beard.
"Li Hunyuan, Taoist priest from Luofu Mountain Cave, pays homage to the magistrate. May the magistrate live long!"
This middle-aged Taoist priest saluted very politely when he came in, and spoke very gently without any sense of urgency.
If he hadn't known the details of the other party's arrival, Liu Rong would have invited him to have a drink and talk about poetry and songs just because of his elegant demeanor.
But knowing the purpose of the other party's visit, I felt a little unhappy!
"Where did Daozhang Li come from?"
"What worries the prefect!"
Liu Rong smiled. As expected, these people couldn't stop talking. He smiled and asked, "What do you think is bothering me?"
Unexpectedly, Li Hunyuan was confident: "Of course it's the huge amount of food that the King of Humans asks for!
Could it be that Magistrate Liu really planned to transport food to the king?
From what we know, your temper seems to be incapable of betraying Emperor Liang! "
The middle-aged Taoist priest said something, which was a token, a jade pendant. There were only four words on the jade pendant: "I am here in person!"
Was this given by the emperor?
This is definitely given by the emperor!
Therefore, when the other party comes to have a match, it is not only with the wishes of Buddhism and Taoism, but also with the wishes of the Emperor of Liang.
I just don’t know if only I, the chief official of the Xiangyang Mansion, have been approached, or if all the officials sought by the king have been sought?
unknown!
Liu Rong smiled sadly: "So, His Majesty the Emperor ordered me not to share the food needed by the King for disaster relief?"
The middle-aged Taoist priest nodded: "More than that, the emperor has ordered that you also need to cooperate with our Taoist sect to fight against the human king!
All the lands of the mountain gods under the human king will be dealt with by people from my Taoist sect.
The Human King has come from afar, so naturally there will not be many soldiers and horses. The Human King's soldiers and horses will be dealt with by your local soldiers and horses.
This is the emperor's original intention!
It’s also what our Taoist sect has negotiated with the emperor! "
The middle-aged Taoist priest did not hide anything and said directly that this was the price and cooperation method that the Taoist sect had negotiated with Emperor Daliang.
It was exactly what Su Lie said, but what he, the Dragon King of Hanjiang, didn't know was that the mighty Emperor of Liang Kingdom actually thought about... for his own selfish interests...
But it seems that it is understandable that the royal people will do anything for the sake of the country.
But can you really understand it yourself?
Liu Rong didn't know.
He was so entangled that he could only send the other party away temporarily, saying that he needed a night to think about it!
After the middle-aged Taoist priest with a sign saying "I am here in person" left, Liu Rong ordered his servants:
"Come here, boil a pot of wine and fry some beans for me!"
A pot of wine and a plate of beans made Liu Rong think about it all night. It was not until dawn that he opened the door haggardly.
Looking at the rising sun on the horizon, he knelt down in the direction of the capital of Daliang and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I do not want to betray the human race, nor do I want to betray your Majesty!"
