Chapter 135 Helian Hengxin's Anger
After this incident, Helian Renxin actually won an extremely good reputation among the people.
And Helian Hengxin's reputation was extremely bad for a while.
He was a usurper of the throne, but to the common people, no matter who became emperor, he just wanted to have a good life.
In the past, Helian Renxin was incompetent and incompetent, while Helian Hengxin had a better reputation among the people. But now that Helian Renxin has made military achievements and is a legitimate member of the royal family, some people in the people have once again brought up the issue of Helian Hengxin's attempt to usurp the throne.
Ministers in the court also kept reporting to Helian Hengxin, requesting His Majesty to appoint Helian Renxin as the general to guard the border.
Among these people, there are naturally those who once supported Helian Renxin in regaining the throne, and there are also some neutral ministers. Helian Hengxin attempted to usurp the throne this time and violently shot and killed many court ministers. Now the court is indeed short of military generals, otherwise He Bakui would not have been allowed to lead the troops to the battle.
No matter what King Ren was like in the past, he is now doing his job in the court and can even avoid danger. Since he has such talent as a general, he should be put to good use.
Helian Hengxin swept all the memorials to the ground in Yu's study, and looked at He Bakui with anger on his face: "How are you going to explain this time, uncle?"
He Bakui has been admired by Helian Zhuli these days, and now when he looks at Helian Hengxin, his eyes are no longer respectful as before: "Your Majesty, I am just a civil servant, and I was ordered to lead the troops in times of crisis. Your Majesty has also heard of the Marquis Dingguo of the Great Chu. How can I fight against him?"
Helian Hengxin frowned and looked at He Bakui fixedly. Since when did he dare to be so disrespectful to him?
He is also a civil servant. He was just a good-for-nothing gangster before. If he hadn't helped me to seize the throne step by step, I would not even look at such a person. Now that he has got an official position, he has become arrogant.
"I mean, to congratulate Prime Minister for recommending Helian Renxin." Helian Hengxin gritted his teeth and spoke word by word. His tone was full of ruthlessness and even the way he addressed him changed.
Seeing Helian Hengxin's behavior, He Bakui realized that his action might have offended His Majesty. No matter how much he supported the emperor, the emperor was still the emperor, and he was just a subject.
He immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I originally thought that Helian Renxin was just a fool, but I didn't expect that he could actually capture a city. I originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill him in the army, but the guards around him were extremely vigilant. The people I arranged to approach him several times were unsuccessful."
"In my opinion, Helian Renxin is now popular among the people. It would be better to please those ministers and appoint Helian Renxin as the general to stabilize the country. There are some of our people in the army, so it will be easy to solve the problem."
"Besides, the Great Chu Emperor has a very violent temper. He might start a war at any time. How can Helian Renxin resist the Marquis Dingguo? If he is accused of any crime, won't it be difficult to deal with him?"
"This shows that Your Majesty is tolerant and tolerant. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"
Helian Hengxin calmed down after hearing He Bakui's persuasion. It turned out that He Bakui wanted to get rid of Helian Renxin secretly. Just now, he even suspected that He Bakui had accepted some benefits from Helian Renxin and betrayed him.
"It would be better to kill these two brothers and sisters when we return to the country, so that we can avoid more trouble." There was cruelty in Helian Hengxin's sinister eyes.
Thinking of this, he suddenly asked, "Where is Helian Zhuli?"
He Bakui felt uncomfortable for a moment when mentioning Helian Zhuli, but Helian Hengxin was immersed in his hatred for Helian Renxin and naturally did not notice it: "I sent someone to check, and Helian Zhuli is hiding in the Renwang Mansion. She almost never leaves her own yard. I think she is really scared."
"Useless garbage." In Helian Hengxin's eyes, Helian Renxin and his sister will always be idiots and good-for-nothings who are not worthy of being on the stage.
Two days later, the imperial edict was delivered to the army, appointing Helian Renxin as the general to guard the border.
Helian Hengxin's action indeed won him a lot of good reputation.
"I heard that His Majesty appointed His Majesty the King of Kings as the Great General of the Nation. His Majesty is really magnanimous. I thought he would be jealous of the King of Kings and take action against him, but unexpectedly he also supported him."
"Your Majesty is able to ascend the throne and become the emperor. It is a blessing for our Yuefeng Kingdom to have such an emperor. I think Yuefeng Kingdom will surely last for thousands of years."
......
Such remarks were widely circulated among the people and naturally reached the palace. Only then did Helian Hengxin agree with He Bakui's suggestion. It seemed that his uncle was indeed a reliable person.
At this moment, Helian Renxin was sitting in Marquis Dingguo's tent, drinking Marquis Dingguo's tea again.
"Having this tea, congratulations to His Majesty the King of Ren on being appointed the General of the State." Marquis Dingguo picked up the tea in front of him and gestured to the King of Ren.
"You are too polite, sir." King Ren also responded in the same way.
Helian Renxin now has indescribable admiration and respect for Marquis Dingguo. No wonder the Great Chu State has been able to avoid foreign invasions in these years. With a great general like Marquis Dingguo around, why should they worry about border instability?
Moreover, the Great Chu State has more than just Marquis Dingguo as a general.
"Your Excellency has helped me this time," Helian Renxin said, standing up and bowing deeply. "If Your Excellency needs my help in the future, please feel free to ask."
Dingguo Hou was not the kind of person who would take credit for himself, so he quickly stood up and returned the greeting: "Everything is in accordance with the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Helian Renxin couldn't help but envy the Crown Prince of the Great Chu State. After all, the Marquis Dingguo was his grandfather, but he never used this as an excuse. He was also so dedicated and devoted, always putting the Crown Prince first.
Thinking of this, he could not help but sigh: "The Crown Prince of Great Chu will surely ascend to the throne with a general like Hou Ye."
However, Marquis Dingguo did not respond to the conversation and exchanged a few more words with Helian Renxin before sending him out of the tent.
This time, King Ni came to visit in the name of the general who guards Yuefeng Kingdom, and naturally he had many followers waiting outside the tent.
After sending Helian Renxin out of the tent, Marquis Dingguo deliberately bowed and said, "I hope Your Highness Renwang can convey the words of our prince to the emperor of your country."
The King of Ren also returned the greeting: "Don't worry, my Lord, I will definitely convey it."
Marquis Dingguo smiled cheerfully and said, "In that case, I will not send Your Highness Prince Ren far away."
"Please stay." Helian Renxin bowed again, turned and left.
Among the followers behind him, there were Helian Hengxin's confidants, who were also puzzled.
If they were told what kind of person this King Ren was in the past, how could they not know it? They just didn't believe that he could successfully negotiate peace with Marquis Dingguo by himself.
But looking at the attitude of Marquis Dingguo, it seems...successful?
Marquis Dingguo returned to his tent and told his guards, "Notify Deputy Zhao and Shen Xiao that we will leave for Beijing in the afternoon."
Mei Ying, who was beside Qing Yan, had come to talk about Deputy General Zhao before. He was naturally worried about leaving him in the barracks, so it would be better to take him back to Beijing.
