I’m The King Chapter 1139: : Carry on the past and usher in the future (29)

Chu State, Jiangdong County, Zhongli looked at Mingtai who walked into the room, "How is he?"

"Back to Lord Hou, it didn't improve much, he still didn't speak, and refused to answer any of our questions. Lord Hou, I think this person is a diehard, and it's extremely difficult to get what we need out of his mouth If it’s big, it’s better to use some means.”

"Such a person can't be tough, you know, his value alone is worth an army!" Zhongli said with a smile: "A diehard? Not necessarily, you see, from the very beginning He doesn’t eat, goes on a hunger strike. Now, isn’t he willing to eat? This explains a lot of problems, doesn’t it? These days, we have relaxed a lot of restrictions on him. If he wants to die, there are more opportunities , but look, isn’t he alive and well?”

"That's true!" Mingtai also laughed, "In the beginning, it was all up to us to force him to eat, but now it's much easier, we spent a lot of money on this kid's body , I bought several ginseng alone."

"It's all worth it, a little money is nothing." Zhongli smiled and said: "Sometimes, horrible means can't destroy a person's will, but time can. Ants are greedy for life, let alone humans? Wei is a graduate of Jicheng Comprehensive University. He is not a soldier, and he has not undergone the devilish training of the army. He does not have the set of brainwashing things instilled in them by his superiors. Moreover, Jicheng Comprehensive University is a place that advocates academic freedom. There are many voices that are different from Gao Yuan, and this Mao Wei has lived there for a long time, and he must have heard things in this regard, so his will will not be so firm."

"Speaking of this, it's really strange. What is Gao Yuan going to do? Lord Hou, you said that the big council he set up was to cultivate a place against himself. Why did he do this?" Ming Tai Looking at Zhongli in puzzlement.

Zhong Li stood up and said with emotion: "This is the most brilliant place in Gaoyuan! Mingtai, tell me, in our Great Qin, are there any people who oppose the king?"

Mingtai hesitated for a moment, "Master Hou, of course it exists, otherwise our Black Ice Terrace would not need to maintain a huge domestic company."

"That's right, we have the Qin State, the Chu State, and the Han State. Instead of letting the opponents do things in secret, it is better to give them a stage to show off. Let them come out and dance openly. On the bright side, it is better to control it than in the dark, isn't it? Those who oppose Gao Yuan have found a stage where they think they can play themselves, and they will do everything they can to fight against Gao Yuan. Showing their abilities on this stage, they don't know that they are dancing in the circle drawn by Gao Yuan. It can be said that Gao Yuan's actions in this way have controlled all those who may be disadvantageous to him in the country, reducing bloodshed This is a very clever trick!"

"However, it will also cause the decree to be unable to be effectively implemented." Mingtai shook his head and said: "According to our information, Gao Yuan has already had several policies that he wanted to implement, but they have been rejected by their big council."

"That's not the point, what's important is that the army is still in the hands of Gao Yuan." Zhong Li shook his head, "I've only scratched the surface of this big council. In China, everyone Li has organized a large group I am studying a series of policies implemented by Gao Yuan in the Han Dynasty, after you go back, you may go to ask for advice."

Mingtai laughed, "Why should I go to them?"

"You are wrong, Mingtai. As the future successor of the Black Ice Platform, you must be well versed in politics. A leader of the Black Ice Platform who does not understand politics is destined to be unable to take on great responsibilities. " Zhongli said.

"Master Hou, how do you say this? You are in the prime of life, and you are in your prime. Mingtai wants to study under you for a few more years!" Mingtai said.

Zhongli laughed, and reached out to pat Mingtai on the shoulder, "Before I left Xianyang this time, I had already submitted my resignation letter to the king, who rewarded me with a manor in Shu County, with thousands of acres of land, I am going to Where are you going to retire? It’s a good place, hahaha.”

"Master Hou!"

"It rained so hard that night!" Zhong Li looked at Mingtai and suddenly said something inexplicably.

Mingtai's complexion changed drastically, first red and then white, and his body became tense all of a sudden.

"Let's go, let's go and see the treasure we got back after so much hard work this time." Zhong Li smiled and turned around and walked towards the door.

Mingtai hesitated for a while, but finally followed.

The rain that night was really heavy. For others, it was really mindless, but for Mingtai, it had other meanings in it, because it was on that night of heavy rain that the new king came to secretly Summoned himself into the palace, asked himself many things about Lord Zhongli, and promised himself that he would be the successor of the new Black Ice Terrace.

I used to think that this was a very secret matter, but I never thought that everything was under Zhongli's control, and all my actions never escaped the eyes of the old man in front of me, which made him a little trembling.

When the emperor takes office and the new king takes office, he will naturally put institutions like the Black Ice Terrace under his control. Although Zhongli is loyal, his background is too deep and his relationship is too complicated, just like a tree. A hundred-year-old tree with intricate roots, the new king may feel that he can't completely control Zhongli, so he plans to replace him.

However, people like Zhongli are not something that can be exchanged. It seems that Master Zhong has already understood the king's thoughts and proposed to leave. Unnecessary trouble.

Going to Shu County? It’s not a good idea. Mingtai knows that there are riots there now, and the army stationed there is exhausted. They press the gourd and pick up the ladle. The former land of abundance is now in turmoil.

"Did the person I asked you find?" Zhongli walked slowly with his hands behind his back, as if he knew that Mingtai would definitely follow behind him one step away.

"I found it, and it was delivered yesterday."

"He didn't have any extreme reactions?"

"No, according to Lord Hou's instructions, this person can speak Mao Wei's native dialect, and he doesn't have any official background. Of course, he won't be from us, just an ordinary woman. It can only be regarded as dignified. We spent a lot of effort to find this candidate, gave her five hundred taels of silver, and bought her here."

"Well done, such a person will touch people's heartstrings intentionally or unintentionally. Mao Wei's wish for death will go away, and his desire to live will become stronger and stronger. This little girl Maybe it can help us a lot.”

"Master Hou, in fact, my subordinates feel that it would be more effective to find a well-trained woman in the Black Ice Terrace to do this!" Ming Tai put forward different opinions, since Zhong Li has made it clear One thing, as the future head of the Black Ice Platform, he is not afraid to make his own voice.

"Wrong, if it's an ordinary person, it's okay, but a person like Mao Wei who will play a great role in the power of a country, we can't use such a method, naturally, it is the best, Ming Taiwan, have you ever thought that if Mao Wei is willing to be used by my Great Qin, he will definitely occupy a place in the court in the future, and will have a high reputation and an irreplaceable role. Even people like Gao Yuan, Even if we don’t hesitate to reward the inventor of explosives, will our Daqin lag behind others? In order to stimulate this Mao Wei and make him work for us more heartily, the king will never begrudge the official position and the reward of the title.”

Turning his head and glanced at Mingtai, "To put it bluntly, the king can change people like us at any time, but people like Mao Wei are scarce. You can find someone from within us." , in the future, what good will it be for us to be exposed in the future? Let such a guy who is destined to become an important figure in our Great Qin hate us, which is not good for us. Hei Bingtai has always been an unpleasant office, Isn't it? Just like the Overwatch Council of Han, every time their big council will clamor to cut their budget, hahaha!"

"What Hou Ye said is true, I will write it down."

Mao Wei is currently living in an independent courtyard of the Jiangdong County Sheriff's Mansion. The reason why he was moved there is because not long ago, Mao Wei encountered a desperate attack by the action team of the Supervisory Council of the Han Dynasty.

Although the two countries are in the stage of cooperation, due to various reasons, the people of Qin are not willing to completely hand over Mao Wei to the hands of the people of Chu. In Jiangdong County, all matters concerning Mao Wei are in charge of the black ice platform of Qin State. Mao Wei was secretly imprisoned in a stronghold of the Black Ice Terrace in Jiangdong County, but the spies of the Overwatch Council of the Han Dynasty were so powerful that they found this place. An operation led by Yi Bin, the vice president of the Overwatch Council The team suddenly attacked this stronghold.

However, Mao Wei is the one who is sure to win the Qin State, and the defense is naturally the most stringent, not to mention that Zhongli is in command. Although the sudden attack this time, the Black Ice Terrace suffered heavy losses, but it also caused the attack Except for a few people from Yi Bin who escaped from the Overwatch Council action team, all the rest died there. The nearest time, they were only one room away from Mao Wei.

After this battle, because of Yi Bin's escape, Zhongli thought to himself that if the Overwatch Council attacked again, the power of the Black Ice Platform would not be enough to guarantee Mao Wei's safety, so he had to transfer Mao Wei to Jiangdong County In the county sheriff's mansion. Except for the innermost part which is guarded by the Black Ice Terrace staff, the outside work is all handed over to the Chu people.

"Listen!" Zhong Li suddenly stopped in his tracks, listening to the faint singing voice coming from the courtyard, "It sounds good, isn't it?"

"This is a slang song from Mao Wei's hometown, and it's for missing relatives." Mingtai listened to it for a while, then explained to Zhongli.

"Sounds really good, this is the most natural, Mingtai, if you find a well-trained person, even if she can sing, can she sing with such true feelings?" Zhong Li turned around with a smile Glancing at Mingtai, he pushed open the courtyard door and walked in. (To be continued)
