Chapter 71

With the promise of King Dingbei, Song Tianming was much more at ease.

Soon he drew the drawings and handed them to the King of Dingbei.

But King Dingbei did not go to pick him up, but looked at him with a smile and said, "Mr. Xiao Song, if you really want to protect yourself, you don't need such trouble at all.

Although this king is not a royal relative, he can speak in front of His Majesty.

Let me just say it. This time I came here to invite my husband to join my tent, come to the military camp of the northern army, and be my military organs."

The status of military organs is not high, but the role is not small. They are mainly responsible for the construction and maintenance of military weapons and equipment.

The quality of weapons and equipment directly affects the survival rate of the soldiers.

It can be said that the King of Dingbei has

He is willing to give him this position, and he is already very respectful.

Those who want to touch me, Peng Qingyun, have to think twice about it!"

Although this sentence is bragging, it is still relatively reliable.

If you really get into the account, you will definitely not have to worry about the Qian family's revenge.

Peng Qingyun did have his own outstanding qualities when he was canonized by King Dingbei.

You know, Dagan has not enthroned a prince of a different surname in nearly ten years.

Moreover, Peng Qingyun is younger among the kings of different surnames, and is more eye-catching.

But Song Tianming couldn't agree to his conditions.

First, Song Tianming had no interest in the struggle in the officialdom, he just wanted to live his own good life, and second, he might not be safe following King Dingbei.

On the contrary, there may be more dangers!

He just bowed and said, "Thank you for your praise, but the villain is not determined to be here. He just wants to live his duty. Thank you for your kindness.

If the prince wants to follow him to do business, he is extremely welcome.

But if the villain was asked to assist the prince and compete with the big guys in the court, to be honest, the villain really didn't have that great ability.

Moreover, the villain also wants to advise the prince that instead of worrying about me, it is better to take good care of yourself first."

King Dingbei suddenly heard something in his words, frowned and asked, "Mr. Xiao Song, what do you mean? What does it mean to take good care of myself? Do I have any problems now?"

Song Tianming smiled and said, "It seems that the prince is in a crisis without knowing it."

King Dingbei frowned and said coldly: "Mr. Xiaosong, if you have something to say, it's best to say it directly." Song Tianming walked to the seat opposite him and sat down: "Prince, what I'll say later may cause some rebellious words. I hope the prince will not be surprised.

If the prince can listen, then listen. It’s not that I can’t listen. Just pretend I have never said it, okay?”

King Dingbei stared at him, looked for a long time, and nodded: "You tell me, I have my own judgment."

"Okay, then I'll just say it." Song Tianming picked up the tea next to him and took a sip, then slowly said: "Your Majesty knows why His Majesty promoted you from Marquis to Prince?"

"Of course, it is because the Dingbei Army defeated the barbarians and kept the peace. The big fight has suffered from the barbarians for a long time, and it has been difficult to win a lot. Isn't it worthy of the title?"

"It's worth it, of course it's worth it!" Song Tianming nodded: "Your contribution is great, and it's not an exaggeration to reward you, so Your Majesty gave the prince the only king of different surnames."

"Hahahaha, Mr. Xiao Song, I probably know what you are going to say. You want to say that my king of a different surname is too attractive and jealous, right?

I tell you, I am not afraid of those who slander me.

If they have the ability, they will go to the battlefield to kill the barbarians. If they kill more than me, what's wrong with me giving this prince to them!

This king's title is not just my own business, but it is made up by thousands of brothers with their lives. Just by their bunch of wine bags, can it be worthy?"

"Of course they are not worthy. But think about it, who gave this title to you? After all, it is the emperor!

Once Your Majesty is suspicious of you, this title is your burden!”

King Dingbei laughed louder: "Haha, Mr. Song may not know anything. The emperor and I have a lifelong friendship.

That year, I was about to be sixteen years old, and I happened to meet His Majesty who is now hunting in the mountains.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty's horse suddenly ran around like crazy, left the army, and ran into a dense forest.

As a result, a group of assassins lie in ambush. It was obvious that they had planned to murder His Majesty!

I was also young and energetic at that time, so I pulled His Majesty away!

Fortunately, I am more familiar with the environment and finally got rid of the assassin and helped His Majesty block two arrows, almost dead.

After that, His Majesty kept admiring his kindness and promoted me to the deputy general of the army and sent me to General Hong Tao's command.

Later, I made many military achievements and blocked the barbarians outside the pass, and then gradually reached the position I am today.

This king and Your Majesty have been in friendship for decades, and they are His Majesty’s life-saving benefactors. They are loyal to the country. What’s wrong with me as a prince?”

Hearing this, Song Tianming sighed and said, "Prince, that villain will tell you a story."

"Speaking."

"In the past, there were two people who lived in poverty. One of them was a little better, because he was a neighbor, so he often helped the other person.

Later, this poorer man planned to work hard to achieve success, get fame and fortune, and completely get rid of this state.

When his friend met, he chose to support him unconditionally and gave him a lot of help.

Finally, the man got fame and became an official, and his ability became greater and greater, and his official position was also rising higher and higher.

He never forgot his friends, so he wanted to help his friends after becoming an official.

But this friend was unwilling to accept his help, and was still poor and happy to talk about it.

What do you think of their relationship?”

King Dingbei replied without hesitation: "A man who is content with poverty and is willing to do things, helps others without seeking rewards is a true noble person.

Another person who is grateful for his kindness should also be a good official.”

“I thought so too.

But that's not the case."

King Dingbei frowned and asked in confusion: "How do you say this?"

"Officials do know how to repay kindness, while poor people are willing to contribute, but when those who know how to repay kindness have no way to repay, everything changes.

As an official, I feel guilty in my heart every moment. I have clearly accepted so many favors from others, but I have no way to repay them and have suffered all the torture.

Moreover, in his eyes, the noble attitude of the poor made him feel tremendous pressure.

He felt that he might not be able to repay his kindness in his life, and he would not be able to get rid of the shadows brought by the poor!"

Hearing this, King Dingbei immediately understood, widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "Can you be the official..."

"Yes, before he was on the verge of collapse, he put his friend on a false charge and killed him."

After listening to this story, the King of Dingbei, who was still energetic just now, was as quiet as a quail.

"Mr. Song, what do you want to tell me about this story?"

"I don't know, prince, have you ever heard a word called "Great Master"?

No matter how good your Majesty has to do with you, he needs to consider the situation in the entire court.

He can't act on his own feelings either.

You think that Your Majesty is the king of you because you value it, but you don’t know that Your Majesty is now facing the same pressure as the official.

Your existence, your merits and reputation are a kind of pressure for Your Majesty.

To be named king, it is actually His Majesty who is "repaying your kindness" to you.

Now he is only a king. Once you cannot even reward your credit for being a king, I am afraid that Your Majesty will repeat what I said…”

"Enough!" King Dingbei's face was ashen.

Song Tianming did not intend to stop: "Prince, even if Your Majesty will not be jealous of the virtuous because of your great contribution, but you can't resist so many people blowing the wind beside Your Majesty's ears!"

King Dingbei was silent and muttered secretly: "Your Majesty is not such a person, I believe him."

"Prince, the villain also believes in the emperor, but what if, I mean, if His Majesty really has a rift against you, then it's really impossible to deal with it.

In His Majesty's eyes, your image is a bit too tall and too perfect.

This king's title has affected too many people. Now, there are countless people in the court who want the prince to fall.

The prince is really confident that he can withstand so much pressure?

Even if you can withstand it, your Majesty, can he withstand it?

Even if you don’t think about yourself, you should think about Your Majesty.”

King Dingbei sat there like a deflated ball, finally silent.

In fact, when Song Tianming talked about the emperor, he had already reacted a little that his Wang Feng, a different surname, was indeed too conspicuous.

Perhaps a king of a different surname is nothing to the powerful, but this is a precedent.

Once this head is made, it means that more kings and princes with different surnames like Dingbei will appear in the army.

This is absolutely unacceptable to royal relatives who are already accustomed to royal privileges.

A king of a different surname will divide them into one right. If thousands of kings of a different surname appear, what else is there for their royal family?
