Puppet emperor? Summon three thousand Xuanjia troops at the beginning

Chapter 734: Killing Game

I heard what Zhuge Liang said.

Shi Tiandao nodded immediately.

"understood."

He felt a little irritated.

There are too many stupid people in this world.

He thought that he was not a smart man, at least not in front of Zhuge Liang and many ministers of the Daqian Kingdom.

But he can see his position clearly, so he knows very well where his limits are.

Therefore, I will never do things that I am not capable of doing.

But not everyone can see their own abilities as clearly as he does, and thus always do things that are beyond their abilities, or even can be called delusional.

If possible, he didn't want to get involved in these things at all.

Because he should have left the Great Qian Kingdom and followed other generals to conquer other countries.

For him, this is the real achievement.

Although you can get some credit by cooperating with Zhuge Liang to deal with some traitors here.

But this is obviously not his duty as a military general.

For him now, this is a shame.

After Shi Tiandao left.

Not long after, someone came to Shi Tiandao's residence.

"General, I am here to discuss something with you."

The person who came lowered his voice, fearing that people around him would hear.

Shi Tiandao frowned, then said:

"What do you want to see me about?"

There was a deep dissatisfaction in his eyes, which came from the bottom of his heart.

If he didn't need to perform, he would have wanted to draw his sword and chop these people to death.

However, the people on the opposite side didn't understand Shi Tiandao's intention at all.

"Doesn't the general feel that we have been treated unfairly?"

One person spoke.

"We have contributed a lot to the current Great Qian Kingdom.

Without us, there is no way that the Great Qian Kingdom could have reached this point. However, all the core powers in the future will be handed over by the Holy Lord to his direct descendants.

And us?

After paying a huge price, all they got were just some scraps of the interests of the Great Qian Kingdom.

Especially someone like you, General.

He is a powerful man above the ninth rank, but he can almost be regarded as a marginal figure in the Great Qian Kingdom.

There is no real power whatsoever.

If you have enough power, you should not be in Zhutian City now, but command the army somewhere else.

Aren't you unwilling?"

Hearing his words, Shi Tiandao sneered immediately. He was extremely frightened in his heart, but he did not show it on the surface.

He just said:

“It’s not a matter of whether I am willing or not. Although I don’t have a very high position in the Great Qian Kingdom, I am living a good life.

Moreover, there are indeed many capable generals in the Great Qian Kingdom. Under such circumstances, it is barely acceptable for me to have achieved my current status with my strength. "

He didn't say anything final.

However, the eyes of the people opposite suddenly lit up.

Because in their opinion, since Shi Tiandao has not made a final statement, it means that he has agreed with their views.

We looked at each other today.

They all thought that it was just as they had imagined, and Shi Tiandao now felt a little unwilling.

In this case, it is a great opportunity for them.

“General, now that the Holy Lord is gone, many of the generals and powerful officials who controlled the core interests of the Great Qian Kingdom have also left.

This is a great opportunity for us!"

Hearing this, Shi Tiandao's eyes suddenly became angry.

"Bastard!"

He shouted loudly, and then continued:

"Are you guys planning to rebel?

Do you know what you are doing? This is the Great Qian Kingdom. Let alone some other people, the semi-saints in the Great Qian Kingdom alone can easily crush you into ashes!"

"The general was joking."

Several people quickly shook their heads.

"We are not fools and of course we will not do such a thing, but if we can seize this opportunity, we can enhance our strength in the Great Qian Kingdom.

The power in the Great Qian Kingdom is limited, but if we can suppress some of the people who do not belong to us,

Naturally, a lot of space will be left.

By then, people from our faction will naturally be able to take over."

"The Saint King will come back sooner or later. Even if you do this now, aren't you afraid that the Saint King will come back and settle accounts with you later?"

Hearing this, everyone laughed again.

"The law does not punish the masses, General."

One of them had a smug look on his face, and then continued:

“The current situation is a great opportunity for us.

Now, those of us who have this idea are not the only core members of the Great Qian Kingdom. After all, we are only a minority and most of the people joined the Great Qian Kingdom later.

These people all hope to advance their own interests.

It's not like now. Although we can survive, it's much worse than before.

When you were in the Daxuan Dynasty, you were already a powerful person above the ninth rank and had a very high status.

Now you have come to the Great Qian Kingdom, but your current status is probably not as good as your status in the Great Xuan Dynasty.

But you have fought in many battlefields for the Great Qian Kingdom, and I don't know how many times you have been injured.

How can such a status be compared with the contributions you have made during this time? "

Listening to their words, Shi Tiandao showed a very curious look, and then said hesitantly:

"Tell me what you think, what do you plan to do to achieve this goal?

I have made it clear that I will not join you in committing the same stupid act of trying to overthrow the Great Qian State."

After Shi Tiandao finished speaking, someone immediately said:

"Don't worry, General, we won't be so stupid.

Our ultimate demand is just to hope to improve our rights. Now the person who controls the power in the entire Daqian Kingdom is Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang held the power to appoint court officials, and we reported to him countless times, hoping that he would appoint some outstanding young people in the family.

But he rejected them all.

He would rather look for those peasants from the common people than let someone from our family take the position.

As long as we can kill him, all this will fall into place naturally.

Once Zhuge Liang's faction falls, a lot of positions will be vacant.

In addition to our original strength from all sides, now at least 70% of the court officials of the Great Qian Kingdom will not oppose our approach.

By that time, everything has become a foregone conclusion, and even if the Saint King returns, he will have no choice but to accept this outcome."

"It's really... a very clever trick."

Shi Tiandao suddenly spoke.

At the same time, there was some deep meaning in his eyes, but he had already started cursing in his heart.

These idiots.

Of course, he knew Zhuge Liang very well. The various policies Zhuge Liang made over such a long period of time could almost be said to be completely correct, along with other ministers.

There have never been any problems in the decision-making of the entire Daqian Kingdom.

If it weren't for these court officials, how could their Great Qian Kingdom have launched wars again and again, and even made the Great Qian Kingdom become increasingly powerful.

He could see that the current development of the Great Qian Kingdom was a way of supporting war by fighting.

Once the war stops, it is very likely that the development of the dynasty will stagnate, and may even cause the entire Daqian Kingdom to fall into decline.

However, although it seems simple to support war through war, it is actually very difficult.

This requires not only that their dynasty has strong enough soldiers, but more importantly, the dynasty's supplies need to keep up.

Otherwise, if civil strife broke out in the dynasty, how could the front lines fight bravely against the enemy?

All these links depend on the support of Zhuge Liang and others.

If Zhuge Liang died, with these idiots, the Great Qian Kingdom would probably fall into chaos in no time.

What's more, these people said that Zhuge Liang did not employ the capable people under their command.

But in fact, the selection of court officials in the Daqian Kingdom was completely fair and just.

Supervision is very strict.

Even though there is no guarantee that there will be no mistakes, it is definitely not something that anyone can easily interfere with.

If the descendants of these people are truly outstanding, they will naturally be able to obtain the corresponding status.

He has seen more than one similar situation.

There was once a core disciple of a family who was promoted from an eighth-rank official to a third-rank official in just one year.

He was able to do so because he had sufficient ability.

But on the contrary, there are some family members who, although their families themselves have a good status in the Great Qian Kingdom, have not received any promotion after watching for many years.

I'm afraid this is the reason why they opposed Zhuge Liang.

After all, their goal was nothing more than to transform the absolutely fair official system controlled by Zhuge Liang into the nepotism system they were familiar with.

“Killing Zhuge Liang is not an easy task. Even with my strength, I may not be able to kill him easily.

What's more, if you want to kill Zhuge Liang, you must get rid of the subordinates who follow him.

The forces in their hands are definitely not weak. Even if Zhuge Liang can be killed, if these people are not dealt with, all efforts will be in vain.

If after the Holy Lord returns, he discovers that there is chaos in the Great Qian Kingdom, he will definitely not look at you, because you so-called dead people are worthless. For the sake of the dynasty not being in chaos, he will condone what you have done.

With the power of the Holy Lord, I will surely kill all of you.

Knowing this, do you still want to do this? "

His expression turned a little more serious.

People's facial expressions also changed as a result.

They had already guessed about this matter a long time ago, and the most important thing is that they have no other choice now.

Things have developed to this point, they have made all preparations and the arrow is on the string.

"Don't worry, sir. We have accumulated enough strength and will be able to completely destroy Zhuge Liang and the faction behind him overnight.

There will be no chance for the Great Qian Kingdom to fall into chaos."

They did not refute Shi Tiandao's words.

Because they also knew very well that even if Zhuge Liang was dead, even if the Great Qian Kingdom had fallen into chaos, the Great Qian Kingdom was still strong enough to hold on.

He definitely has enough ability to massacre their entire faction.

So what they are betting on now is that their value is higher than Zhuge Liang and those behind him.

"it is good!"

Shi Tiandao nodded.

"I agree to this matter, but before you take action, you need to inform me. If I am not sure enough about the discovery, I will not do such a stupid thing."

Everyone looked at each other, with ecstasy revealed in their expressions.

"Don't worry, General. I will definitely satisfy you when the time comes!"

Then everyone left.

Seeing them leave, Shi Tiandao couldn't help but shook his head, and then couldn't help but sneer.

"These idiots."

On the other side, Zhuge Liang and Yu Qian sat together.

There was a hint of helplessness in Yu Qian's expression.

"Mr. Prime Minister, your approach is too risky. If the power of those people is stronger than we imagined, then the Great Qian Kingdom will really be in chaos."

Yu Qian was not very happy with Zhuge Liang's approach, because in his opinion they were now confident enough to eliminate the parasites in the dynasty bit by bit.

After all, this kind of thing doesn't happen overnight.

So instead of taking such a radical approach now, it is better to take it slow.

Even if it is slower, it can still ensure that there will be no problems with the stability of the dynasty.

Zhuge Liang chuckled.

“Master Yu, your approach is too conservative.

Now that the Saint King has left, this is a great opportunity for us to show our talents. If we wait for the Saint King to come back, many things will be difficult to do.

As for those troubles, they are just some jumping clowns.

Most of the core figures of these families have dispersed to various parts of the Great Qian Kingdom, and now only a small number of them are left in Zhutian City.

How could these people cause such great unrest to our Great Qian Kingdom?"

"Let's hope so. I don't know how many fish we can pull out this time. Fortunately, our Daqian Kingdom has enough talent reserves."

He sighed.

Other parties have also made relevant preparations.

The entire Zhutian City was filled with a silence that concealed murderous intent.

All forces were contacting their allies, but Zhuge Liang and others seemed to notice nothing and just let them do it.

Finally, Zhuge Liang stood in the court.

He looked at his ministers.

"Everyone, if there is nothing else, please leave the court."

After hearing his words, the man was about to leave, but at this moment a man stood up.

"Mr. Prime Minister, I have something to say!"
