PFC Chapter 554 They're both eunuchs, so how can there be such a big difference between them?
Chapter 554 They're both eunuchs, so how can there be such a big difference between them?
"Damn it, they're all eunuchs, how can there be such a huge difference between them?"
"The difference between Huang Hao and Jiao Bo is like the difference between heaven and earth!"
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhao Kuangyin expressed their feelings almost simultaneously.
The difference is that Lao Zhu directly cursed out loud.
There is no harm without comparison.
Previously, Huang Hao had spread false imperial edicts and caused Jiang Wei's death in prison.
Later came loyal men like Jiao Bo, who were not afraid of danger and worked hard for Liu Bang's vision.
He knew that Liu Bang's promise might not be fulfilled, and if he really returned the world to the Han Dynasty, he would likely receive less than he would have in the Wei Dynasty.
Even knowing this fact, he still did not hesitate to venture into dangerous situations for this goal.
"If every eunuch were like Jiao Bo, then why bother prohibiting eunuchs from interfering in politics?"
"Unfortunately, people like him are ultimately a minority."
Mr. Cao was also full of admiration as he watched.
Such loyal men are devoted to the Great Wei!
This is probably the only thing he can be proud of in this challenge.
Compared to Wen Yang's bravery, he admired Jiao Bo's unwavering loyalty even more.
"If Huang Hao had even a fraction of Jiao Bo's loyalty, this challenge wouldn't still be so shrouded in mystery."
“But now, I am not so optimistic about Jiao Bo’s line of work. Jiang Wei is dead, which means that Liu Chen has completely broken ties with Huang Hao.”
"At this point, Jiao Bo has clearly stated that he supports Liu Chen. Will Huang Hao just sit idly by and watch all of this happen?"
Li Er shook his head slightly.
He certainly admired Jiao Bo's decisiveness, but given the circumstances of the challenge, the outcome might not be as desired.
"If nothing unexpected happens, Jiao Bo may not be able to see Liu Shan. Even if he does, he can barely persuade him. Afterwards, Huang Hao can easily change his mind with another piece of advice."
"Liu Shan was an indecisive person, and after his experience of fleeing, Huang Hao served him closely. For a short period of time, he would only give Huang Hao 100% trust."
"Did Liu Shan not fly into a rage over Jiang Wei's death, and only reprimanded Huang Hao a few times? Did he really think that Jiang Wei had committed suicide in prison?"
"Even Jiang Wei is like this, let alone Jiao Bo, a mere eunuch official of the Great Wei."
Many people agree with Li Er's view.
If we hadn't gone through that escape, things might have been different.
However, Liu Shan was still in shock and believed whatever Huang Hao said.
In this situation, everyone felt that Uncle Jiao was going to have made a wasted trip.
"..."
"If it's just a wasted trip, then it doesn't matter. The problem is that Huang Hao won't let him off so easily."
In Liu Heng's view, from the moment he killed Jiang Wei, Huang Hao's behavior and logic had completely spiraled out of control.
Jiang Wei's death was not the end, but the beginning.
As time goes on, it's anyone's guess what someone like Huang Hao might do to protect his position and his life.
"If that's the case, he's likely to suffer some physical pain, and might even be imprisoned."
Boss Cao also realized what was happening.
He had only seen Jiao Bo's loyalty and almost ignored the risks involved.
This means going head-to-head with Huang Hao and directly impacting his interests.
This matter is beneficial to the Han Dynasty, to Liu Shan, and to Liu Chen, but for Huang Hao, it is entirely detrimental!
"captivity?"
Liu Che let out a cold snort, his face grim.
"When Jiang Wei obediently returned to the capital before, you all probably only thought that he would be imprisoned, right?"
"But what's the result?"
Huang Hao acted swiftly and cleanly, and received almost no real punishment.
With Liu Shan's almost boundless trust and favor, his behavior would only become more unscrupulous.
"No way?"
"Not to mention that Jiao Bo has the entire Great Wei behind him, as long as he brings out the three thousand elite soldiers lying in ambush in the capital, who would dare to touch him?"
"Could it be that Huang Hao is not afraid of death?"
The three thousand soldiers hidden in the capital are definitely a trump card.
With such a threat, as long as Huang Hao doesn't go crazy, he would never harm Jiao Bo's life!
“Emperor Wu, you are overthinking it. At most, Huang Hao will capture Jiao Bo and take him hostage. That might make things a little more complicated, but it won’t cost him his life.”
After a brief period of worry, Boss Cao calmed down.
Sending Jiao Bo to the palace to see Liu Shan would bring Huang Hao no benefit whatsoever, but killing Jiao Bo would be even more detrimental to him.
Putting aside other matters, if he really dared to kill Jiao Bo, three thousand elite soldiers might not be able to guarantee the capture of the capital, but they would certainly be able to scatter his ashes.
At that moment, in the scene depicted on the sky...
Jiao Bo had arrived alone outside the palace gate.
Standing in the darkness, looking at the brightly lit palace, he straightened his clothes and slowly walked forward.
"who?"
"Unauthorized trespassing is a capital offense!"
"stop!"
The imperial guards patrolling the palace spotted him immediately.
In an instant, dozens of spears were aimed at Jiao Bo.
"Breaking through the palace gates? If that's the case, then you are the ones who broke in, trespassing into the Great Wei Imperial Palace. You are all guilty of a capital offense!"
"It is only because His Majesty is so magnanimous that he has given you a glimmer of hope, and even entrusted you with an immense fortune."
"Could it be that you still don't realize your own limitations at this point? Do you still think that with your weak forces, you can openly and legitimately storm the capital?"
Jiao Bo was not afraid at all, and his tone was full of undisguised contempt.
He did come to fulfill His Majesty's vision, but that doesn't mean he needs to be overly polite.
Indeed, His Majesty had promised that even if the empire were returned to the Han Dynasty, Jiao Bo's status would still be guaranteed, and he would be granted a marquisate.
But he has already refused.
He disdained the wealth and honor of the Han Dynasty. Even if His Majesty abdicated in favor of the Han, even if His Majesty was no longer the Son of Heaven, he would never serve two masters again!
So, besides fulfilling His Majesty's wishes, he also came here to vent his anger.
What gives these people the right to move into the palace with a clear conscience?
What right does the ruler of Shu have to sit on that high throne?
“I am Jiao Bo, a trusted official of the Emperor of Great Wei and a palace attendant.”
“Take me to see that traitor in Shu. I have come with the Emperor’s decree.”
These words immediately enraged dozens of imperial guards.
Those murderous gazes were enough to send chills down anyone's spine.
"Say it again! Who are you? What are you doing here?"
The commander of the Imperial Guards couldn't even believe his ears.
He felt that the person in front of him was either courting death or had gone mad.
They were all well aware that the capital had fallen under the rule of the Han Dynasty!
What's going on here that a confidant of the Emperor of Wei has suddenly appeared?
"Then I will say it again: I, Jiao Bo, a Yellow Gate official of the Great Wei, have come to see the traitor in Shu by order of the Emperor."
“If you don’t let me in, there are still three thousand elite soldiers of my Great Wei in the capital. Once they make their move, they won’t be as gentle as I am.”
