C110 Crisis faced (2/2)
This was why Huang Sheng was still able to lead troops to attack other nations. After losing too many battles, it had already affected the foundation of the, so His Majesty had the idea of letting Qian Hongjun replace Huang Sheng. However, Huang Sheng led his troops and placed him under house arrest.
Today's conflict in the imperial court was indeed something he had never expected. There was no peaceful place in this chaotic world, and it was merely a relatively stable situation.
His Majesty the State of Gold was troubled again and again, he turned his gaze towards the wandering cultivator Shu Ling.
”Young Hero Shu, you are a disciple of the mad spirit. You must have a good opinion on this matter.” His Majesty the State of Gold looked at Shu Ling sincerely and said.
Shu Ling felt surprised. He had never thought about the major events of the world, nor did he know how to analyze the situation in a country. He, who originally did not know anything about Gold Pearl Country, really did not know how to respond to his Majesty's question.
But if he did not answer, it was likely that it would not be appropriate. Shu Ling thought for a moment, then replied: ”In this world of great struggle, the word is first. The struggle that Yellow General spoke of is a struggle for power, while the struggle that General Qian spoke of, is about how to borrow momentum in this chaotic world. There is nothing wrong with either approach, but I think that His Majesty should choose a more popular one. The strength of a country is the common aspiration of the people, and I do not think that the military might. Shu Ling was at a loss for words.
When he said that, His Majesty the State of Gold's eyes lit up, Qian Hongjun also nodded his head, but only Huang Sheng was looking down on him.
”What the Young Hero Shu said is extremely true, the disciples of the mad spirit are indeed worthy of their reputation. Would you like to stay and become my Guest Warrior?” His Majesty the State of Gold invited.
Before he finished speaking, Huang Sheng interrupted him, not because he was dissatisfied, but because he was extremely excited: ”Your majesty is wise, end has long guessed that mad spirit would be able to rule the world, if we can keep Young Hero Shu, then we will be able to obtain mad spirit, and then we can be unrivalled in Central Plains as well.”
His Majesty the State of Gold was even more excited, as if he had found a way to truly save Gold Pearl Country.
However, Shu Ling suddenly splashed a bucket of cold water on his Majesty's face, ”Your Majesty, my master is naturally capable, and is extremely concerned about this matter of injustice, even more so with the reputation of the Mad God Zhige. For the safety of a country, I am afraid that he is unfair to my master and the entire world, and that he is unfair to the citizens of this world.
Shu Ling was not afraid of offending the His Majesty the State of Gold, and disciples of the mad spirit also needed to have some attitude towards it.
His Majesty's expression was calm, after thinking about it for a moment, he did not make things difficult for Shu Ling, but said instead: ”Young Hero Shu is right, we cannot be so selfish. After all, to mad spirit, all the people in the world are his Children.”
Qian Hongjun and Shu Ling both nodded their heads, but Huang Sheng remained expressionless.
”This is the end of today's debate. I have already made my decision. But Huang Sheng, no matter how big of a reason you have, you can't frame General Qian, and even more so, you can't imprison yourself in our clan. If we let you go like this, the entire imperial court will probably step onto our shoulders, and even the leaders of the empire will be punished with death.
The main reason why he could not keep Huang Sheng alive was not because of what he had said, but because he felt a great threat, a threat to his imperial power. If he did not take the opportunity to kill Huang Sheng, then it was possible that Huang Sheng's ambition would drive him to take away his throne.
”Convinced? How can I, Huang Sheng, be convinced? In the past twenty odd years, I have contributed countless things, but I was just a little rash and wanted to kill my entire clan. Does His Majesty really think that I can accept such a punishment? ” Huang Sheng said angrily, as if he did not realize that it was because he had contributed too much to the emperor that he felt that he was a threat to his imperial power.
Relying on this detention of the emperor, His Majesty the State of Gold confirmed this point. If he did not take advantage of this situation, when would he be able to get rid of the root?
