Chapter 1339

Chen Guanlou leaned closer. "Old Sun, tell me the truth, which prince do you look favorably upon to inherit the throne."

Sun Daoning was silent for a moment, then said: "Cannot say!"

Chen Guanlou was so angry he rolled his eyes.

He snorted coldly. "The Prince of Anping was fine, suddenly passed away, don't you have any guesses?"

"As a subject, it is to share worries for the Emperor, not to add chaos." Sun Daoning was righteous, with the appearance of a loyal subject.

Chen Guanlou looked at the other party, only feeling toothache.

Do you have to be so fake!

"Listening to your meaning, you also guessed that the Prince of Anping must have said inappropriate words, which caused disaster."

"Don't talk nonsense. The Prince of Anping is just an ordinary imperial clan prince, even if he said inappropriate words, it wouldn't be enough to be given death by the Emperor."

"So you also know he was given death by the Emperor!" Chen Guanlou smiled without smiling.

At this time, who is who, still pretending to be garlic in front of him.

Sun Daoning snorted coldly. "You, smart is smart, just don't have a gate on your mouth. But if you are willing to control your mouth, you would have been prosperous long ago."

"Thank you for your auspicious words! Spending all day giving me some cloudy and foggy things, is it interesting?"

"In officialdom, one cannot help oneself. Since you have already guessed, why do you have to ask for an answer from the old man. The old man is not like you, the old man has a family behind him, saying the wrong thing and doing the wrong thing, it doesn't matter if his own head falls, implicating a family, that is a crime that deserves death."

Sun Daoning spoke from the heart, saying a lot of words from the heart.

Chen Guanlou sighed twice, noncommittal.

Afterwards, the two were just chatting, not talking about state affairs, not chatting about the unlucky ghost Prince of Anping, only talking about wind, flowers, snow, and moon. The key is, two big men talking about wind, flowers, snow, and moon, is truly uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Sun Daoning's old lover has some connections, and invited a storyteller to tell a story.

Chen Guanlou listened with great interest.

Listening and listening, he felt something was wrong.

The protagonist in the storyteller's mouth sounds a bit like the Marquis of Pingjiang.

He interrupted the storyteller: "Your story is newly compiled, who wrote the script?"

"The guest has a discerning eye, the old man's story is indeed newly compiled. The script was given by someone else, and I spent five taels of silver to buy it."

"Is the script your exclusive, or can all storytellers tell it?"

"The guest is joking, five taels of silver can't buy an exclusive. Naturally, everyone can tell it."

Damn!

The matter is big.

"Who wrote the script, do you know?"

"I heard it was written by a person called Mr. Wind and Moon."

"Where is this Mr. Wind and Moon now?"

"Don't know."

"Really don't know?"

"Let the guest know, the old man's script was bought from a middleman. The old man hasn't seen Mr. Wind and Moon. Who he is, where he comes from, the old man doesn't know."

"I believe you. Then tell me, who is the middleman?"

Seeing the other party hesitate.

Chen Guanlou threw money directly.

In this day and age, there are few people who don't bow for money. Even the Emperor covets money and will do anything for money.

Silver is in front of you, not earning it is a bastard.

The storyteller decisively said the middleman's name and residence.

"The silver is given to you. I will give you another sum of silver, and you are not allowed to tell this story from now on. Understand?"

The temptation of several silver notes, the storyteller nodded and agreed. Even wrote a contract to show his integrity.

Sent the storyteller away.

Chen Guanlou's mood was not very good.

Sun Daoning was silent throughout, and only then opened his mouth: "Someone is calculating the Marquis of Pingjiang, this wave of commotion will definitely reach the Emperor's ears. Remind the Hou Fu quickly, and respond early."

"Is the Emperor already unable to hold back, wanting to clean up the Marquis of Pingjiang?"

"If the Emperor's body remains weak, the imperial court will definitely seize the time to clean up the Marquis of Pingjiang."

"Not fighting Xiliang anymore?"

"Even if you give up some benefits, you must clean up the Marquis of Pingjiang. The official might as well tell you directly, the Marquis of Pingjiang is the big trouble in the heart of the imperial court. Xiliang will harm the local area, but will not occupy the territory to operate. The Marquis of Pingjiang is different, he may rebel at any time, shaking the foundation of the Great Gan's country."

Chen Guanlou sneered. "The Marquis of Pingjiang is loyal to the imperial court and the Emperor, and is a loyal subject known to the world, and is even more a pillar of the imperial court. You do this, equivalent to crossing the river and tearing down the bridge, killing the dog after the rabbit is dead, which is chilling!"

Sun Daoning didn't fall for it. "Do you dare to guarantee that the Marquis of Pingjiang has no heart to rebel."

Chen Guanlou sneered repeatedly, too lazy to roll his eyes, and scolded directly: "If the imperial court gives enough respect, and gives enough rewards, everyone is a loyal subject. Loyal subjects and good generals are hard to come by, and it is not easy to have a talent like the Marquis of Pingjiang, you group of people don't think about winning over, but instead push people far away. Now you are even spreading rumors that people are rebelling.

How about it, seeing that the Marquis of Pingjiang is loyal to the country, you can't bear it, and want to force people to rebel? You group of people, simply a group of selfish, country-harming worms!"

Chen Guanlou scolded impolitely, and Sun Daoning was so angry his beard was blowing and his eyes were staring.

"Chen Guanlou, don't go too far. How did the old man become a worm of the country." Sun Daoning firmly refused to admit it, he was dedicated to sharing worries for the imperial court and the Emperor. He is the real loyal subject.

"Forcing loyal subjects and good generals to rebel, and writing unknown scripts to compile rumors, if not a worm of the country, what is it?" Chen Guanlou countered. "Old Sun, don't say you don't know anything. You are in the Government Affairs Hall, I don't believe you can't see the attitude above. Have you ever said a fair word for the Marquis of Pingjiang?"

Sun Daoning naturally hadn't said a fair word for the Marquis of Pingjiang, he wouldn't lie, and didn't disdain to lie. The key is that he knew very well that if he lied, Chen Guanlou could see through him at a glance.

It's not worth inviting the other party's cold sarcasm.

"Scolding the old man here, it's better to spend your mind on the Marquis of Pingjiang, persuade him to take the initiative to step down and return to the capital to retire. At such an old age, he still clings to power, refusing to give up military power, there are many people in the court who don't look at him favorably, not missing the old man."

Sun Daoning said a truth.

So many young generals and middle-aged generals want to stand out, but have been suppressed by the Marquis of Pingjiang, and have no chance to display their ambitions. Naturally, they have to move their minds in the court.

On the civil official side, they also cannot tolerate the Marquis of Pingjiang holding military power for a long time, dominating, and raising bandits to respect themselves.

Guo Dachun, a mere rebel, has been suppressed for so many years, and he hasn't been suppressed to death. If there is no suspicion of raising bandits to respect themselves, even ghosts won't believe it.

And Xiliang.

The drought has been alleviated, and the situation on the grassland has gradually improved. But Xiliang refuses to retreat for a long time.

To say that there is no hand of the Marquis of Pingjiang here, the court officials also don't believe it.

It's a pity that they have always failed to catch the handle of the Marquis of Pingjiang's collusion with the enemy. Just suspicion is not enough to pull the general who holds military power off his horse.

Then they can only manufacture articles from other aspects.
