Chapter 577 Emperor Wu's Will
Old Master Dong's heart trembled, and he was robbed by the momentum that emanated from Li Wang's body in this moment.
He will never forget that the undefeated general around him is not only an unbeaten general who gallops on the battlefield, but also a peerless master who is invincible in the world.
However, Dong Ge Lao, who has been obsessed with the officialdom for decades and served as the chief minister for more than ten years, is not a coward who can easily be intimidated and changed his position.
He maintained a calm expression, and even a sure smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Li Wang's bravery is well known to the world." He paused, controlled the rhythm of his speech, and did not let himself express nervousness. "But there are many things in this world that cannot be solved by force alone."
Mr. Dong had thought of a long passage of speech and was about to explain it in detail, but Qin Xinglie had no intention of listening.
He put the sword in the sheath and only let out a low laugh, "I am not so weak that I betray my marriage." Qin Xinglie turned around and walked out the door, "The master of the court does not have to use those official methods on me."
Ge Lao Dong finally showed surprise. He forgot that the man in front of him was not those bureaucrats who calculated interests everywhere, but King Li who raised his hand to kill and was free and unrestrained!
Before he could figure out how to adjust the countermeasures, Qin Xinglie's long legs had already walked to the gate.
Suddenly, Qin Xinglie stopped.
Master Dong was delighted and watched Qin Xinglie turn around, thinking that something had turned around.
Qin Xinglie just looked at him deeply, "Gei Lao Dong, I only give you four words to be fair."
After saying that, Qin Xinglie stepped out of the hall.
Old Master Dong looked at his unnostalgic back and had to confirm that the other party had never taken his help seriously.
A sense of frustration surged in his heart. He had been in business for so many years, and his staff were everywhere in the officialdom. If Liu Ge Lao had not supported him, he would not be his opponent.
Can such a huge political force not even get into Qin Xinglie's eyes?
Or does Qin Xinglie feel that it doesn’t matter without his Dong Yaochen’s support, and it will not affect the effectiveness of Lang Ting’s so-called Wu Emperor’s will?
A hint of cruelty appeared on Mr. Dong's face.
He is not a fool. The person behind Lang Ting is ruthless enough, but not secret enough. Everyone can see that there is definitely a hidden truth about the so-called drowning of the eldest prince.
The prosperity and wealth of the Liu family are all related to the eldest prince. How could they conspire to murder the eldest prince?
When Lang Ting met him in private and mentioned the content of Emperor Wu’s will, Master Dong Ge already realized that what Lang Ting and the others wanted to support was Li Wang Qin Xinglie!
According to conscience, although Qin Xinglie is known for being violent, in fact, there are not many people he killed in Shangjing, and those people have their own way to kill them.
Others don’t know, why did Mr. Dong not know, why Mr. Shen was killed, and why the Zheng family was destroyed.
If Qin Xinglie became the emperor, he would definitely be more reliable than the cowardly Prince of Xinyang and the clans who were inseparable from all sides.
So Mr. Dong did not intend to make any excessive demands. He just wanted to use marriage to tie the interests of the Dong family to the new emperor, so as to bring wealth to the next three generations of the Dong family.
Is this too much? Old Master Dong stood in front of the portrait of Emperor Wu and asked himself, feeling that his request was not too much at all.
The merit of supporting one another and the guarantee form of marriage is definitely a very common means of alliance.
If Qin Xinglie refused to give this guarantee - Old Dong Ge's face was calm and only his old eyes flashed with sharp edges, let him see what Dong Yaochen, who "holds his fairness", looks like.
When Ge Lao Dong returned to the previous hall, he saw Qin Xinglie standing beside Gu Zhao, and the two seemed to be whispering something.
Thinking of Qin Xinglie's appearance and demeanor that he had just seen, and looking at Gu Zhao's calmness, Mr. Dong had to admit that his granddaughter usually looked outstanding, but was a little tender and shallow in front of these two people.
Lang Ting said a few words to the soldiers beside him, then turned his eyes to Master Dong.
However, Master Dong Ge's eyes were closed, but he seemed to have not seen his sign. He even opened his eyes to rest again.
Lang Ting was a little surprised, but he quickly calmed down.
There were many surprises in this action, but in the end, they still went to the direction they wanted.
The Empress had long expected that Li Wang's stubborn temper would never agree to such a threatening transaction. But even if Dong Yaochen refused to cooperate, there were many officials in the court who were willing to cooperate.
Dong Yaochen probably wouldn't have thought about how many means the Empress would have.
Lang Ting sneered in his heart, raised one hand and waved it, and an old eunuch was brought up.
The old eunuch looks 70 years old, thin and dry, with sunken eyes, and his eyes are particularly bright. He is wearing a purple robe, which is the only clothing that the eunuchs and supervisors who serve the emperor in the palace are wearing.
When he walked in from the entrance of the hall and passed among the officials, many older officials were already surprised.
"This, this is not..."
"Is he not dead?"
"Shouldn't he follow that person?"
A low voice broke out among the officials.
The old eunuch walked to the front stairs with a hunched over, turned around, and bowed slightly to everyone, "Our family is Qugui, I believe that all the adults and others know our family."
"It's him!" Hearing his words, a few low cries came from the officials below.
Qu Gui's voice was old, but it was still powerful. "Our family followed His Majesty Emperor Wu for decades. More than ten years ago, when the rebels rushed into the capital, His Majesty was already sick and could not bear the support, and he died with hatred."
"Our family was originally planning to follow Your Majesty and continue to serve Your Majesty in the nine springs."
"But Your Majesty gave our family an order, and ordered our family to take away the will of His Majesty's death, so that it will be made public in the future and punish the unfaithful and unfilial thieves."
"Our family sent the will to the location designated by His Majesty and kept waiting by our side. Today, it was finally time for this will to see the light of day again."
The old eunuch's deep eyes flashed with water, and he gently wiped it with his sleeve a few times.
Hearing such a secret, a chaotic discussion suddenly sounded in the hall.
"Silent!" Old Master Dong turned around and said with a cold face, and the discussion disappeared immediately.
