Chapter 494 Confrontation
Chapter 494 Confrontation
"Brother Jing, my father told me that my great ancestor was incompetent and persecuted loyal officials, and people from all over the country rose up in rebellion. Although my grandfather had an agreement with Uncle Qiao to ensure that Uncle Qiao would help him succeed to the throne, the people at that time did not recognize my grandfather and called on Uncle Qiao to ascend the throne.
It was Uncle Qiao who said that conquering the world and governing the world are completely different. To conquer the world, one only needs courage, strategy and charisma, but to govern the world, one needs strategy, wisdom and flexibility. He is only suitable for defending the country, but does not have the ability to govern the country well. My grandfather has the talent to govern the country. If the world is handed over to my grandfather, the country will be peaceful and prosperous.
When it came to my father, it was Uncle Qiao who provided strong support, which enabled my father to sit firmly on the throne. But I never thought about sitting on the throne. All I thought about was how to protect myself from being killed. I was just twenty years old and knew nothing. I hurried back to the country to succeed to the throne. It was Uncle Qiao who fought for a bloody path for me, and it was your eldest brother who risked his life to ensure that I ascended the throne.
Without the Qiao family and Uncle Qiao, the country would have changed hands long ago. Even if I have no humanity, I will not be suspicious of my loyal Uncle Qiao.
When Uncle Qiao proposed to return home to retire, I really felt that Uncle Qiao had worked too hard in his life. He had been protecting my dynasty since he was a teenager, and it was time for him to enjoy a peaceful life now that he was old.
I also suggested to Uncle Qiao that you take over his job, but Uncle Qiao disagreed. He said that your ability is too strong, and even if you have no ulterior motives, people will inevitably be wary of you and worry about you being used by someone with ulterior motives.
You know how much criticism I received because Mr. Qiao was assassinated shortly after he handed over his military power, but you don't know how scared I was.
At that time, I had just sat firmly on the throne and everything was just beginning, but I was still young, and I also longed to have a strong chest behind me to pull me forward.
My confidence comes from Uncle Qiao. I know very well that no one would dare to have any dissenting thoughts as long as Uncle Qiao is around. Even though Uncle Qiao is old, I no longer need his care. But as long as Uncle Qiao is alive, he is the stabilizer of the country's lifeline. I wish Uncle Qiao could live forever, so how could I poison him?
As for what you said, I don't know, and I have never given any orders, otherwise I would not have allowed Brother Jing to develop his own power. You may not know that I know the details of your mercenaries, because Uncle Qiao has already told me everything.
I also believe that Brother Jing will not be a threat to me. On the contrary, Brother Jing will help me when I encounter difficulties. Wasn't it Brother Jing who helped me to send the documents back? Wasn't it also Brother Jing who helped me to rescue Duan Siyu and return to China smoothly? I wish you could be my secret agent. How could I limit your development?
Ju Wangshu saved your son, and Uncle Qiao loved her very much. She got into trouble later and returned two years ago. I know that, but no matter what her relationship with your Qiao family is, she is just an ordinary person in my eyes. How can I have so much energy to deal with a little girl? "
"Then explain to me, how did the batch of raw stones I brought in at the end of last year violate the rules? Didn't you personally order the disposal of that batch of raw stones? I didn't care because my father just passed away, and I didn't want anyone to disturb my father's peace.
But I don't care doesn't mean I'm not angry, nor does it mean I will swallow my anger. I promised my father that I would help you, but the premise is that you must be friendly to me. I don't have such selfless love to help someone who is hostile to me. I'm not that great. "
