Chapter 413: Dying Miranda (Part 2)
After listening to Thorpe's words, Miranda was silent for a while, and when Thorpe was uneasy, Miranda finally spoke. "This is the reason why you are different from Sock, and it is also the reason why I choose, because you are calm. Sock is simple-minded, always thinking that with the iron hoof and sharp blade of our Donghu people, he can flatten the ground he wants to step on. Ping's opponent, such a guy, if he is just a general, he can conquer everything, but if he becomes a king, he will lead our family into the abyss, and there will be no redemption."
"Father, although elder brother is reckless, he is not guilty of death!" Thorpe said earnestly.
Miranda sneered, and looked at Thorpe with knife-like eyes, "Didn't you think about killing your big brother? No, you did. It's just that you don't have enough strength. Hui Helin, didn't your men look for him everywhere?"
Thorpe's face was pale, and he lowered his head in panic.
"As a king, you should be ruthless when you should be ruthless, and when you should be thick-skinned, you must be thicker than the city wall. You are not bad, although you have long wanted to kill your elder brother, but in front of me, you can still pretend to be a fool." The appearance of the deputy brother and brother Gong."
"Father!" Thorpe trembled slightly.
"Don't explain yourself." Miranda shook her head impatiently. "I chose you precisely because you have such ruthlessness and insight. Thorpe, do you know why you don't have an uncle?"
Thorpe looked up in amazement.
"Because I killed them all decades ago!" Miranda sneered, "That's why there are royal palace guards that can conquer the whole world and subdue the closed forces."
"Thank you father for teaching!" Thorpe said.
"But your brothers, except for Sock, are not a threat. There is no need to kill them all!" Miranda sighed. "Even Sock, let me solve it for you."
The hall fell into a deep silence, apart from the father and son, not even a single attendant could be found in the empty hall. Apparently kicked out by Miranda. The candlelight is faint, like a ghost land.
"Over the years. I've been thinking, how can we Donghu people get their hands on the Central Plains? Thorpe, have you thought about it?" Miranda said quietly in the silence.
"Father. Over the years, I have been studying the countries in the Central Plains. My son believes that if we want to become truly strong, we must change the foundation of our Donghu clan, recruit talents and advice, and establish a complete national system. Attract all Local people will vote to establish a strong central government."
"But so,
There will be a strong backlash from within. "
"This war is a very good opportunity!" Pu Suo said: "Win this war, and the royal court's prestige will rise to an unprecedented height. We can use this war to maximize the strength of the Palace Guard Army." strength, and at the same time weaken the strength of the opponents. At that time, as long as the royal court is determined, they can use blood and steel knives to implement this policy. Interfere with us again. Therefore, we must win this battle, as long as there are decades of breathing time, I believe that our Donghu will be able to step into the Central Plains."
Miranda gasped and nodded, "Yes, winning this battle will win decades of respite. Well, let's win this war."
He clapped his hands lightly. Along with the applause came two of Thorpe's old acquaintances, Miranda's confidants, Tulu and Yan Qi.
"Is everything ready?" Miranda looked at Yan Qi.
"Your Majesty, the palace guards are ready."
"Very good. Tomorrow, I will invite the leaders of the various ministries to come to the royal court for a meeting. The Agu Ministry will deal with it tomorrow. Yan Qi, you go, catch Suoke, kill him immediately without further ado." Miranda's tone irrefutable.
"Yes!" Yan Qi bent down to salute, turned around and left the hall.
"Thorpe, those who support your elder brother will die tomorrow. I will use the blood of these people to pave the way for you to the throne. I hope you can lead our Donghu clan to walk a bright road."
"Thank you, father!" Thorpe slipped down from the bed and fell on the ground. At this moment, the shock in his heart couldn't be increased. For the past few months, he had always thought that his father was seriously ill and unable to manage affairs. The elder brother was lawless, sneaked back from Yulin, made waves, and lobbied all the major ministries to support him to sit on the throne. Unexpectedly, the father who seemed to have never been out of the palace held everything in his palm and watched the elder brother perform coldly.
Tomorrow, blood will drown He Lin, and Thorpe can't help shivering.
"Get up, you will become a king soon." There was no emotion in Miranda's eyes, "Tulu, is Mr. Lu here?"
"Mr. Lu is just outside the main hall, and his family, apprentices and others are all under our control." Tulu bent down and said.
"Mr. Lu please come in."
Lu Shiren walked into the hall trembling, and saw Miranda staring at him, his legs could no longer support him, and he fell to his knees on the ground, his lips trembling, but he couldn't say a word.
"Mr. Lu." Miranda leaned forward, staring at Dayan's secret agent in front of her, but there was no disgust in her eyes, but only peace. "How many years have you been in Donghu? Twenty-one years, or twenty-two years?"
"It's been twenty-five years since you returned to the king!" Lu Shiren trembled.
"Twenty-five years!" Miranda sighed, "I've known you for about twenty-one years."
"Yes, twenty-one years ago, the king was seriously ill, and it was the villain who diagnosed and treated the lord."
Miranda laughed, "That's not a disease, it's poisoning. Without you, Mr. Lu, I would have been so sad twenty-one years ago! Your medical skills are really worthy of the word "miracle doctor". In the past twenty years, I How did Miranda treat you?"
"Your Majesty treats me with such kindness as a mountain."
Miranda laughed, "Yes, you saved my life, and I treat you well. You have a luxurious mansion in Helin, and you have the right to freely enter and exit the palace. You can hand over the powerful. Over the years, how many of us Donghu's top-secret information has just flowed into Dayan!"
Lu Shiren bit her lips tightly and remained silent. Thorpe on the other side turned pale with shock. Such a genius doctor who had served Donghu nobles for more than 20 years was actually Dayan's spy.
"You have stayed in Donghu for twenty-five years, married a wife, had children, bloomed and scattered leaves. I am afraid that you have already gotten used to the climate and human relations here. How much do you remember about your hometown?" Miranda said to the Donghu in front of him. The biggest leaker of all time didn't hold much resentment, instead chatting with him about family matters.
"Hometown?" Lu Shiren's eyes were blank. He really didn't have much memory of his hometown. Twenty years ago, when he was only in his thirties, he was ordered to come to Donghu. Twenty-five years passed in a blink of an eye. A young man in his prime has reached the age of knowing his destiny.
"You hide it very well. If it weren't for the fact that you have shot more times this year, I really didn't realize that you, a person who has served my Donghu royal family for decades, turned out to be a spy of the Yan Kingdom. Speaking of it, I really admire Ning Zecheng, it's amazing, he was just a small person at that time, and he started planning us, and once he made a move, he was our soft threat." Miranda laughed.
"Your Majesty, Lu Shiren knew that he was guilty, so he didn't dare to ask His Majesty to forgive him. He only asked His Majesty to spare the villain's wife and children. They didn't know that the villain's wife is also from the Donghu tribe."
"I know that your wife is not only from the Donghu tribe, but also a partial branch of my royal family." Miranda said lightly, "But tomorrow, many people's heads will fall off, including my own son, Do you think your family will be spared?"
Lu Shiren slumped on the ground all of a sudden. He had been in Donghu for more than 20 years, and the Donghu people's behavior habits were unsupportive, let alone a member of the offshoot clan, even blood relatives, he would be merciless.
"Thorpe, go help Mr. Lu up and give Mr. Lu a chair!" Miranda said flatly, "Don't stare at you, if you weren't for Mr. Lu's master doctor when you were young, you wouldn't be alive today. Speaking of which, Mr. Lu belongs to my family, but there are countless living people!"
Thorpe looked angrily at the doctor he respected very much in the past, lifted him up with one hand, dragged a chair over, and stuffed him in the chair.
"Mr. Lu, send another report tomorrow. Of course, it will be the last one. If you do this well, I will not only not kill your family, but also forgive you." Miranda smiled and said: "We Donghu lack a medical expert like you. Over the years, the disciples you have taught have greatly benefited us Donghu people. I have not forgotten these credits."
Swallowing with difficulty, Lu Shiren certainly knew what this meant, "I wonder what information the King wants me to pass back?"
"Let's say I'm dead. Because of the Yan army's oppression, the royal court did not mourn in secret for the sake of peace of mind. Thorpe and Suoke fought for power, so that the royal court was divided into two factions. The royal court has lost all respect for the entire tribe. control." Miranda said slowly." After doing this, I will spare your family's life, Thorpe, you must not embarrass Mr. Lu in the future, his medical skills can save countless lives, let him replace us in the royal court Let Donghu cultivate more talents!"
"I remember!" said Thorpe.
Tulu came over and handed Lu Shiren a stack of manuscript paper, "I have drawn up everything for you, you only need to transcribe the important ones, and then pass it on. Of course, Mr. Lu, you still have to confess We know what other spies are in Helin City, you are the leader of all the Yanren spies in Helin City."
Lu Shiren stumbled out of the hall, and Miranda waved her hand, "Go down, I'm tired."
