Chapter 248 The battle between the ruler and the minister

Shichi Garden is a garden built by tens of thousands of people since King Shi Yu came to power.

In order to demonstrate the national power of Shiyu Kingdom, but also to satisfy his own desires.

King Shi Yu ordered the eunuchs to plunder the people's wealth and people's anointing and sell them for official titles. The gold, silver and jewels they obtained were melted into rockeries and rocks, which complemented the orchid jade leaves. The palace was decorated with milky white cloud beads, like a festive cloud shrouding it and the auspicious mist shrouding it.

It's really breathtaking.

And King Shi Yu, who claimed to be the Eternal King, drank and had fun in the Shishi Garden all day long, and did not care about political affairs. The important affairs of the country were also handed over to the hands of a group of sycophants and eunuchs.

In order to firmly hold on to the power in their hands, those treacherous ministers could only intensify their efforts to do what they wanted. They used the whole country to recruit beautiful women to fill the harem for the eternal king, and even did not hesitate to use wine as a pond and flesh as a tree.

I will provide this foolish king with pleasure.

The poor had no choice but to change their sons to eat because of famine, but this foolish king lay on the beautiful body of a beautiful woman and wantonly squandered the food and wine that they never dared to dream of.

But this king was always immersed in the fantasy compiled by the jester, and even thought he was the wisest sage in the world.

"Go away, I want to see your Majesty!"

On this day, King Shiyu was enjoying himself in the garden as usual, when a commotion suddenly broke the usual tranquility of Shichi Garden.

"Who is making noise outside, Yi, come over and take a look."

King Shi Yu was concentrating on watching the Nuo dance performed by a performer dressed as a demon. He was interrupted by someone unexpectedly, and there was a faint look of anger on his face. Anyone familiar with the Eternal King knew that this was a precursor to his king's anger.

Before the poor eunuch named Yi could answer, a big, round old man rushed in aggressively, kicked the eunuch over with one kick, and looked at the dancers in the field with a rather unkind look.

"This is a dance performed to worship ghosts and gods. Because of your own selfish desires, Your Majesty, you ordered the performer to perform for you alone. This is an act that disrespects God and brings disaster!"

"Please also ask your Majesty to hand Xiaoxiao, who came up with this bad idea, over to the Ministry of Punishment, so that he can be severely punished as a warning to others who will come after him."

The old man did not pay any attention to King Shi Yu on the throne, and he had decided the life and death of several dancers in just a few words.

"Father, these people are all famous actors invited from the troupe. They are not shamans offering sacrifices to God. There is no need..."

King Shi Yu twitched the corners of his mouth and forced out an ugly smile.

After all, he was a king who had been in power for more than twelve years. The minister who appointed him as Gu Ming before the death of the late king still refused to give him face as before, which made King Shi Yu somewhat unhappy.

But the opponent's long-standing power still made him subconsciously dare not object.

"Guards, drag these treacherous villains who are bewitching the king to me and kill them!"

However, the old minister did not hear the dissatisfaction in King Shi Yu's tone at all, and instead gave orders to the guards on the side.

"this……"

The guards looked at the old minister and then at King Shi Yu, but in the end they still didn't dare to make any move.

After all, he is a close minister guarding King Shiyu, and he knows to some extent what his king is thinking. In addition, the old minister is now old, and the king has been on the throne for more than ten years, and his position is stable. Everyone knows who to listen to.

"Father, don't you always like to come to my master's garden? Why is the sun rising in the west today? Who is this ignorant person who provoked you? Just say, I will go and kill him right now."

"

King Shiyu was very satisfied with the performance of his guards. It was really not in vain that he spent so much thought and money to reward these soldiers.

"Guo An, Fan Yi, Xi Linan, these are the thorns in my side and my flesh. I wonder if Your Majesty is willing to part with me?"

The old minister cast a sidelong glance at King Shi Yu. He still had no idea what the nature of this student he had taught was?

"Why do you want to kill them? I, I am using them!"

King Shiyu was stunned for a moment, then laughed awkwardly.

The few people the other party pointed out are all the jesters who are now making trouble in the court by relying on their favor. Yafu is nominally talking about these people, but in fact he is blaming him.

After all, he didn't condone it intentionally. Just these few things are not enough for the old minister to deal with with one hand.

Precisely because of this, he couldn't just let the other party kill these clever talkers and seducers at will.

Without these people, how could he control the power of the government and at the same time focus on pleasure.

If the court is full of loyal and virtuous people like Yafu, who can't tolerate the sand in their eyes, then what else do you need as a great king?

"When a gentleman says something to a sick man, he must do what he wants!"

The veteran glanced at his disciple with hatred.

How did the eldest prince, who was humble and wise at the beginning, turn into such a virtuous person now? If it weren't for the late king's instructions on his deathbed, given his nature, he would have resigned and returned home long ago.

And he is willing to have sex with a group of villains in the court.

"Well, I came here this time because I have business with the king. I heard that the Chetuo Kingdom destroyed the Muliao Kingdom and took the land of its three counties. Instead of raising an army to attack Wudao, Your Majesty acknowledged the actions of the Chetuo Kingdom.

, I wonder if this is the case?"

After all, he had a mission, so the veteran didn't dwell too much on this matter.

"It is indeed true, but what Yafu doesn't know is that King Chetuo not only treats me as his elder brother, but also wants to return Shanggu City to me, and promised to send troops to fight the food together with me. How can I not agree to such a good thing now?

"

"Before my father died, he wanted to take back Shanggu City. Now that I have fulfilled his long-cherished wish, I will have the confidence to tell him the good news even a hundred years from now."

It was okay not to mention this matter, but as soon as it was mentioned, King Shiyu couldn't help but show off his achievements.

"Hutu!"

The old minister couldn't listen any longer and interrupted the other party with a loud shout.

"King Chetuo is so ambitious that he can destroy Mu Liao today and Dashi tomorrow. It won't be long before I, Shiyu, will be wiped out. How can you trust me so easily? Why send troops to fight Dashi with me? He clearly wants to kill me, Shiyu."

Yu Guola was the opposite of Dashi."

"Distract their attention so that they can have time to swallow Muliao's land!"

The old minister didn't care at all that King Shi Yu's face was getting darker and darker, and scolded him in front of everyone, as if he was still the young and ignorant child in the past.

"How come I don't know what he's up to? My father underestimates me. By doing this, I'm not using him as a pawn. When the time comes, Chetuo and Da Shi will fight to the death, and I will sit back and catch the fishermen."

benefit."

"Isn't that kind of bad?"

King Shiyu frowned and retorted.

"I, Shi Yu, have strong soldiers and horses, and tens of thousands of chariots. Is it possible that I can still lose to the barbarians like Chetuo? Father, you are old and have lost your spirit of advancement. From now on, you should be less involved in the affairs of the court!"

"Come here, take Yafu back to his house to rest!"
