Shen Lang and Su Che waited in Zhao Mengfu's residence for an entire two hours.
Zhao Mengfu finally returned.
However, what they did not expect was…
They had just met.
Zhao Mengfu scolded them.
"At such a critical juncture, the two of you still dare to bring back an army of tens of thousands. Isn't that just catching those civil officials in the dark?”
Now, they were jittery.
Although the imperial court hadn't officially announced Su Che's betrayal to the public yet.
However, all kinds of rumors had already spread among the people.
Many people had already drawn a clear line between themselves and Su Che.
However, there were also people who beat the drum for Su Che and complained about the injustice of the court.
Even though they knew very well that what they were doing was like moths flying into a flame.
But they still did not hesitate!
This also caused the originally empty prison in the Imperial City to suddenly be overcrowded.
Ever since he unified the Six Nations, Su Che had stepped down from his position as commander and put most of his energy into internal reforms.
The so-called Heavenly Strategy General was just a title.
As the capital of Chu State, the Imperial City naturally became a trial for Su Che's reform.
After many years of hard work, the crime rate in the Imperial City had dropped to the freezing point.
In the past, the prison was almost overcrowded. The Ministry of Justice had originally planned to apply to the empress to build two more prisons.
However, the prison was empty now. There were almost no criminals.
This was because Su Che's laws were quite strict.
For example, kidnapping a commoner's daughter would be directly sentenced to castration.
Those who stole children were beheaded.
As for stealing, robbing, and fighting, they were also heavily punished.
If there were nobles who bullied the people, not only would they directly confiscate their homes, but if the circumstances were serious, they might even be imprisoned.
It was precisely because of this strict law that the security of the Imperial City was much better.
The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and it was a scene of prosperity.
Therefore, Su Che had a good reputation in the Imperial City.
It was just that in a place far away from the Imperial City, ordinary people didn't know what Su Che had done. In addition, they heard all kinds of rumors about Su Che from scholars, so they misunderstood him.
However, even though the ordinary people felt that Su Che had been wronged, they didn't dare to say anything.
Only a few people would stand up for Su Che without fear of death.
These people.
Most of them were students from poor families. They were different from those scholars. They knew that Su Che didn't slaughter the aristocratic families because he liked to kill.
Instead, it was to break the monopoly of the aristocratic families on the ascending passage.
Therefore, these poor students were very grateful to Su Che.
Secondly.
There were also some loyal officials who were worlds apart from Li Yu and the other treacherous officials.
……
"You might not know, but those ministers who spoke up for Fifth Brother have already been locked up in prison.”
"The two of you are generals guarding a region. You didn't receive His Majesty's imperial edict to return to the capital, and you took the initiative to bring your troops back. This is already a big taboo.”
"Do you believe that there will be a bunch of people coming out to impeach you tomorrow?”
Zhao Mengfu looked at the two of them with a gloomy expression.
"Third Brother and I really didn't consider this matter properly.”
Chai Jin also realized that this was indeed inappropriate.
Not only would he not be able to help Su Che, but he might also get himself involved.
It was a little like giving away a head.
"It doesn't matter. At most, we'll just rebel!”
Shen Lang's personality had always been like this.
He was similar to Xiao Xun.
He said whatever was on his mind and never beat around the bush.
"Impudent. You know that if word gets out, not only will His Majesty kill your entire family, but the soldiers under you will also be implicated.”
"Shen Lang, you are now a general leading an army, not a lone swordsman. You must always remember the responsibility you bear!”
Zhao Mengfu slammed the table and looked at Shen Lang with disappointment.
Shen Lang was fine in other areas.
However, his personality was too rash and he was easily at a disadvantage.
In the past, when Su Che was around, he could indeed do whatever he wanted.
Because Su Che could protect him.
But now, Su Che was gone.
Zhao Mengfu was worried that he would bring trouble to himself if he continued to behave like before.
This made him extremely worried.
After all, he wasn't Su Che. He didn't have Su Che's abilities and abilities.
"Big brother, what should we do now?”
Chai Jin also realized that the situation was not good and hurriedly asked.
Not only did Shen Lang bring the army back, but he also brought the army back.
However, he did not bring as many as Shen Lang.
When he heard the news of Su Che's accident, his blood boiled. He wished he could bring his army back and question this dog emperor.
Chai Jin was usually considered to be relatively calm.
Even he was like this.
Not to mention Shen Lang.
"Have your deputy general bring the army back.”
Zhao Mengfu said in a deep voice.
There was still time to remedy the situation before it worsened.
"Then, what about Fifth Brother?”
Shen Lang asked.
Hearing this, Zhao Mengfu raised his head and looked at him. He slowly said,"
"Don't think about anything, don't do anything.”
"Just wait and see."
Hearing him say this.
Chai Jin and Shen Lang could not accept it.
What was the difference between this and waiting for death?
"Big brother, could it be that we are just going to watch Fifth Brother suffer this injustice?”
Chai Jin was also somewhat anxious.
He had thought that Zhao Mengfu had a solution to the problem.
But what was the difference between Zhao Mengfu's method and waiting for death?
"If you still treat me as your big brother, do as I say.”
After saying this, Zhao Mengfu stood up and left.
Chai Jin and Shen Lang looked at each other.
……
"Actually, thinking about it carefully, I feel that what Big Brother said is quite right.”
After pondering for a long time, Chai Jin opened his mouth and said.
"It's indeed easy for us to give people a handle when we bring troops back.”
"Moreover, it's useless for us to bring troops back unless we really plan to rebel.”
"However, with just the military strength of the five of us, it is unrealistic for us to succeed in our rebellion.”
At the peak of the Chu Country, there were over a million soldiers.
However, after unifying the six countries, the six countries had been destroyed.
Many soldiers had retired to their fields and returned to work.
This was encouraged by Su Che.
Because with the situation at that time, Chu really did not need such a huge army.
It was a huge burden to the country, and so much labor was wasted, which was not conducive to the development of social productivity.
Thus, the five brothers only had a total of 300,000 soldiers.
On the other hand, the empress had 700,000 yuan.
Although the number was not enough to explain everything.
However, rebelling was indeed not an easy thing.
He had to consider all aspects.
"That seems to be the case."
Shen Lang calmed down and thought about it.
"Then let's do as big brother says. Let's not act rashly.”
Chai Jin said.
"Yes."
Shen Lang nodded.
However, just as he finished speaking, he changed the topic.
"However, there is one thing that I must do.”
"None of you can stop me!"
