Sun Sheng was startled suddenly. He carefully chewed on Meng Huang's words. He really didn't know whether Meng Huang really wanted to send Mu Huang back according to the letter of credence. Now according to his intention, this might not be allowed. For a while, he didn't know what to do, after all, he was just a courtier, and the man who ruled the world was standing in front of him.

"Okay, let's discuss the matter here for the time being, retreat to the court first, and discuss it tomorrow!" Meng Huang flicked his sleeves, and then walked towards the harem.

Everyone was discussing one after another, they all filed out, and gradually left the court, only Li Su stood aside, looking at Sun Sheng carefully, Sun Sheng had something on his mind, and the expression on his face was naturally not good-looking, Li Su walked away When he arrived in front of Sun Sheng, he coughed on purpose. Sun Sheng turned his head, saw Li Su, and immediately clasped his fists in salute, "So it's the Prime Minister. I didn't expect that you haven't left yet!"

Li Su stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Hehe, yes, the Prime Minister has been watching Marshal Sun for a while, and seeing the melancholy on Marshal's face, is he still worried about the matter he asked the emperor just now?"

Sun Sheng was taken aback, was his performance so obvious?

Li Su continued: "Actually, the prime minister understands that the marshal was born as a soldier, and he cherishes the sympathy with Emperor Mu, and seeing him die in a foreign land, he is always unhappy about it, isn't he?"

Sun Sheng immediately covered it up and said: "Master Prime Minister, what you said can be big or small, don't talk nonsense, please think clearly."

"Hehe, since Prime Minister Ben dares to speak out, he is sure of it. Otherwise, he would not be joking with his own life. Now I just want to prove that what Prime Minister Ben said is the truth." Li Su's eyes suddenly had a magnified halo.

Seeing that there was no one on the other side, Sun Sheng looked at Li Su's expression of deep intentions and didn't know what his intentions were, so he said with a smile: "Hehe, Prime Minister Li has always been as smart as a torch, so if you are not in a hurry, can you Let's go outside for a few drinks with Zaixia, how about we have a chat?"

Li Su smiled slyly, "It just so happens that the Prime Minister also has the same meaning. Then please!"

Sun Sheng bowed his body, "Hehe, then the prime minister please first!"

The two came to the restaurant, found a private room and sat down. The bartender brought the wine and went down. Before leaving, the curtain was gently lowered. The two looked at each other inside. Li Su smiled and asked, "It seems like Sun The marshal hasn’t answered my question yet, so I don’t know if I can say it now, but we are here and there is no one else.”

Sun Sheng picked up the wine glass, "Haha, why is the prime minister suddenly interested in this matter, I don't know if I can explain the reason for asking this question first, but when you ask this question all of a sudden, I will be flustered and don't know how to answer grown up."

Li Su rolled his eyes and understood what Sun Sheng meant, and continued with a smile: "After all, Marshal Sun still doesn't believe me. In this case, in order to show the sincerity of the prime minister, I hereby express my ambition."

Sun Sheng was stunned for a moment and continued to look at him. Li Su continued to ask: "Actually, I understand very well psychologically. You two hit it off for a long time. Although you captured Emperor Mu in one fell swoop this time, you defeated the so-called farmer." Congratulations, in fact, in the eyes of Marshal Sun, Jinghe is an insignificant person at all, but Emperor Mu mistrusted this person, which led to being captured by Marshal Sun this time. I understand very well!"

Sun Sheng remained silent. He actually understood psychologically that if Emperor Mu hadn't congratulated and assisted him, perhaps he wouldn't have lost like this this time. Before he went down the mountain, he had already heard that Emperor Mu of Mu State was a rare It's just that he didn't expect to capture this person alive without any effort.

"Haha, what I said is not all Marshal Sun's heartfelt thoughts. In fact, our goals are the same. You want Emperor Mu to return to the country of Mu alive, and that's what I mean too." Li Su pretended after finishing speaking. Zuo inadvertently picked up a glass of wine.

Sun Sheng was taken aback, and quickly asked: "Why is this? The prime minister has nothing to do with Emperor Mu and the state of Mu, why he hopes that Emperor Mu can return to the state of Mu is really hard for me to understand."

Li Su took a sip of wine, then looked around, and after confirming that there was no one left, he continued: "You and I are both important ministers in the court, and what we see and so-called is true. Emperor Meng is ambitious. , Wenzhiwugong is unmatched, we can see these, the reason why Meng country can develop to what it is now, is the reason, but what about our prince of Meng country? Presumably Marshal Sun Sheng also had many days with him Are you sure he will be able to lead the Meng Kingdom in the future? Even the Ninth Prince of Mu Kingdom, who is now the regent and supervisor of the country, may be many times stronger than this Meng Zhiqing. Besides, the emperor is running out of time. You generals have been outside all the time and don’t know anything about the affairs of the inner palace. The emperor has been in poor health recently and often coughs up blood. He is just pretending to be tough when he goes to court. I’m afraid time is running out.”

"Ah, this..." Sun Sheng was stunned like a thunderbolt. He didn't expect Li Su to know so much, so he continued to ask in surprise: "Then according to your intention, Prime Minister, to save Empress Mu, What is the reason? This has nothing to do with this point?"

Li Su suddenly laughed, "It is said that people must have foresight without immediate worries. No matter who you are, you need to prepare yourself in advance. Now is an opportunity that you should not miss. Besides, the letter of credence has been signed by Mu Guo It is only natural for Emperor Mu to return to the court. As long as we strongly recommend that Emperor Mu be sent back to the State of Mu, no matter what happens to the State of Meng and the State of Mu in the future, we will have some kind of insurance. Can’t you, Marshal, still not see the general trend of the world clearly? ?Now the world is torn apart, and no one can guarantee that one day they will live to old age. We can only think of a way out for ourselves in advance. In this case, there is still a way to go in the future, especially for an important minister like us. , isn’t it?” After Li Su finished speaking, he stared at Sun Sheng, wondering whether Sun Sheng would believe what he said, even though what he said was well-founded.

Sun Sheng nodded silently, "Yeah, what the Prime Minister said is not wrong, there is a bit of sympathy between me and Emperor Mu, but I want to let Emperor Mu go back like this, as you have seen today, the emperor has no This means, what can we do as courtiers?"

After finishing speaking, he shook his head helplessly and drank a glass of wine in one gulp. It seemed that he was really helpless.

Li Su nodded, "That's right, I also saw what the emperor meant when I went to court this morning, but there is a solution to everything, it's not that there is no solution."

After Sun Sheng heard about it, he asked in surprise: "Could it be that you have a way, Mr. Prime Minister?"

Li Su smiled mysteriously, "Hehe, if the old man can say such a thing, he must have his own opinion. Haven't you heard that the emperor has visited the concubine Xia who came to Mu country recently? And when he was hunting last time, he From time to time, his eyes are on her, which is enough to prove that the emperor has a certain idea when facing Concubine Xia."

"Oh? The Prime Minister has seen it, really?" Sun Sheng looked at Li Su as if he heard a legend.All along he only knew that the crown prince Meng Zhiqing had thoughts about Xia Ziying, and had always wanted to get her, but he didn't expect that the emperor also had such thoughts, which was really surprising.

"Hehe, this Prime Minister is a person who observes meticulously. No one can escape my eyes. Hehe, but then again, Marshal Sun Sheng is also a person who knows people, but what you are good at is In my heart, this old man is naturally slightly better. What I should say now, the prime minister, has already said enough, it depends on your choice? It is up to the marshal to weigh it. After all, saving one life is worth seven. No matter how you say it, you will leave a way out for yourself. I don’t think anyone will give up. Of course, Marshal Sun is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but you two hit it off and know each other. With that said, Li Su directly poured Sun Sheng a glass of wine, raised the glass, motioned to Sun Sheng, and drank it down in one gulp, then stared at Sun Sheng to see what he thought.

Sun Sheng was hesitant, although what Li Su said was so clear now, but people's hearts are far away, and no one knows what he thinks psychologically.

Sun Sheng thought of this, approached Li Su, and continued, "Since that's the case, I don't know what your opinion is, Prime Minister Li. How can you get Emperor Mu out of Meng Kingdom safely?"

Li Su was waiting for this sentence. After hearing Sun Sheng's question, he couldn't help covering his face and smiling, "Isn't this simple? Didn't I say it before? The problem lies with that concubine Xia. He also wanted to kill Emperor Mu to avoid future troubles, but he coveted Concubine Xia. As long as Concubine Xia took the initiative to raise this question, the emperor would start to think about it again, and now I have found out that the eunuch Liu who was called by the emperor a few days ago Guang went to handle the matter of assassinating Emperor Mu, I believe there will be a big move soon, Marshal Sun is the commander in chief of the three armies, and the guards of the palace are Marshal Sun’s subordinates, so it shouldn’t be difficult to stop this assassination plan?"

Sun Sheng was taken aback again, he didn't expect Li Su to know so much, even the emperor's affairs, this person is really not simple, he couldn't help but look up a few times.Quickly nodded and said: "I will definitely do this, Master Li, don't worry, the safety of Emperor Mu is entrusted to me for the time being, I will go and tell my subordinates to be more careful in the next few days."

Hearing his words, Li Su was immediately relieved, so he nodded, "It's all right now, with Marshal Sun's protection, Emperor Mu should not have any problems."
