Chapter 327 You Can't Help It
If he were a minister alone, Shangguan Tong would hope that his lord would be ambitious and unify the world.
But if he is an elder, he would rather hope that the children he has watched grow up can have human emotions, rather than being filled with hatred, blinded by hatred, and living in pain all their lives.
Cui Si can influence Yan Xingchuan, but as long as she does not endanger Beiyan and Yan Xingchuan's life, Shangguan Tong really doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.
Moreover, he also saw clearly Cui Si's own character. She was a person who cared about the world and was reasonable and sensible. If Yan Xingchuan could marry her as queen, it would be beneficial to Beiyan.
If the two of them give birth to another intelligent child, the Yan family will have a new bloodline, and Northern Yan will have successors, then Northern Yan will be able to truly continue for a long time.
"Could it be that we just ignore the Yan family's blood feud?" Shen Sui asked him.
"When did I say I don't care? It's just that revenge is important, and life is important too. There's no conflict between the two!" Shangguan Tong shook his head.
"As for the Master... You have no right to interfere in the Master's affairs, do you know that? You are certainly not his master. Don't even mention that the Crown Prince is gone and you are supposed to take care of him for him. You don't have that qualification."
"Even if the Lord does something wrong, you can advise him and report it, but you cannot act as his master for the sake of doing good for him."
"And you used such means to harm a woman. It's simply despicable and shameless, don't you know?"
Shangguan Tong was really disappointed, with too much hatred accumulated in his heart. Shangguan Tong never thought that they were all bright, but at least as a human being, he should be upright. It was simply shameless to use such despicable means to harm an innocent woman.
"These matters have come to an end. If it happens again, even if you are the general, the master will give an explanation to the Cui family and Wang Ji.
Also, I have discussed with the Lord that Northern Yan's territory is growing larger and larger, with more and more people, and all sorts of things are complicated. Since you are unable to handle it, after things here are settled, you will go guard Tianmen Pass."
"I'm going to guard Tianmen Pass?" Shen Sui was stunned for a moment, then his face changed drastically, "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
There are three great generals of Beiyan. One is General Qin who guards Tianmen Pass, one is General Cheng who guards Beiyan City, and the other is Shen Sui.
The reason why he was qualified to follow Yan Xingchuan south to compete for the world was because he, like Yan Xingchuan, wanted to find the Great Zhou and the tyrant emperor to avenge the blood feud between the Yan and Shen families.
Taking these reasons into consideration, Yan Xingchuan and Shangguan Tong both agreed, and General Qin and General Cheng did not argue with him, so the matter was settled.
But now he has been causing trouble here again and again, and even directed his spearhead at Cui Si. How could Yan Xingchuan tolerate him staying here any longer?
Yes, Shen Sui is a good fighter, but he is not the only one in Beiyan who can fight.
Yan Xingchuan meant to let Shen Sui guard Tianmen Pass to resist foreign enemies, and let General Qin go south to follow him to attack Da Zhou.
"This is the master's order. You can't refuse it." Shangguan Tong closed his eyes. "Originally, I was going to inform you after things here are resolved, and then wait for the summons to come."
"But..." Shangguan Tong sighed, "But I think about your achievements over the years, so I'll give you a chance."
"What opportunity?" Shen Sui asked quickly.
"Handle the matter of the Prince of Nanhuai well. First, we must not allow the princess to marry him, and second, we must not let her reputation be damaged. It is best that this matter is not spread outside of us."
"The second is... you and Cui Jing apologize."
Shen Sui was stunned again: "Should I apologize to him?"
Shangguan Tong said, "That's right. You apologized to him, and the two families have settled the matter. You also promised not to do it again in the future. Ask Cui Jing or Wang Ji to intercede with the Lord, and perhaps the situation will change."
"Wang Ji will not see you, nor will she accept your apology. The only person you can find right now is Cui Jing."
"This is probably your only chance to stay."
“…”
Shangguan Tong also spoke earnestly, breaking down these principles bit by bit and telling them to Shen Sui.
It was already past midnight when Shangguan Tong sent the people away and lay down to rest exhausted.
Sometimes dealing with these things is more difficult than fighting a war. In a war, you are fighting the enemy, and you can use all kinds of conspiracies and schemes. Even if there is really no other way, you can just pick up the sword and kill to create a clear and peaceful world.
But when it comes to my own people, I cannot offend them here, nor can I be too harsh on them there. I can only explain the truth over and over again, and persuade them over and over again, hoping that they will recognize their situation, know what is important, and know what they should and should not do.
Shangguan Tong only hoped that Chen Sui would listen to his advice. If he continued to make trouble, he would probably not end well...
.
The wind in the mountains was still blowing, the bright moon was hanging high in the sky, and soon, the night passed.
Compared to Shangguan Tong's worries, Cui Jing slept soundly. When he got up the next day, he went out of the tent to bask in the sun and stretched.
"This April weather is so comfortable..."
"Mr. Cui has risen." A servant in a blue-gray robe came over, saluted him, and then said, "The military advisor sent a subordinate here, saying that if Mr. Cui has risen, we should go to him."
"The military advisor invites you. Okay, you lead the way. I'd like to ask the military advisor for a cup of hot tea."
"Then Mr. Cui, please follow me."
Cui Jing went to Shangguan Tong's tent with his attendants, but when he stepped in, he found Shen Sui was also there. He paused and frowned, but finally walked in.
"Military Advisor, General Shen."
Cui Jing was about to salute when Shangguan Tong raised his hand to stop him and told him to sit down: "Jingzhi, there's no need to be so polite. Come and sit down. I've been waiting for you. I've sent someone to Nanzhou to meet with the King of Nanhuai to arrange a time to renegotiate."
"Really?" This is good news, Cui Jing smiled.
"Of course." Shangguan Tong also smiled. "I called you here today for two reasons. One of them is to discuss what conditions should be offered to King Nanhuai."
Cui Jing waved his hand and said, "The military advisor will discuss this with General Shen. Besides, the specific conditions will depend on what conditions the King of Nanhuai proposes. No matter how much we say, if it's not what the King of Nanhuai wants, then our discussion will be in vain."
"Indeed, but it would also be helpful to discuss what conditions we can offer the King of Nanhuai. Jingzhi is very resourceful, do you have any suggestions?"
Cui Jing still waved his hand: "I have no suggestions. The military advisor has the final say. I only care about the results. If the results are what I want, I will naturally not say a word. If the results are not what I want, I will talk about my own business."
