Chapter 343: Cui Hao, who is stubborn

After Deng Sheng left, a group of important officials left Ganyang Palace one after another. Zhang Bin, Yue Fei and others walked in front with a smile on their faces, while Cui Hao walked behind a little lonely. Due to the rivalry just now, Cui Hao did not want to have too much contact with Zhang Bin for the time being.

Cui Hao's loneliness was seen by Su Hong who followed him. Su Hong walked quickly to Cui Hao, patted Cui Hao on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother Cui is unhappy that the king rejected your advice just now?"

Cui Hao nodded with a dark face and said, "Brother Su, you know that this time is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Great Deng. Once you miss it, you may never come again. If you want to defeat Zhao State, you will know how many men will die."

Hearing Cui Hao's words, Su Hong smiled and said, "What Brother Cui said, don't you know about me? Not only did you know about me, the king, Zhang Xiang, Jiang Xiang, Yue Fei, and even the civil and military officials of the court knew about me, but I knew why they didn't agree to send troops north at this god-given opportunity?"

"Of course I know that this little brother is just worried about the reputation behind him, but so what if I bear some infamy for the sake of the great Deng Qianqiu hegemony? This group of people are really, pursuing profits for small things, and cherishing themselves for big things!" Why would Cui Hao not know what Zhang Bin and others were worried about? But knowing that does not mean that Cui Hao would agree with their approach. In Cui Hao's view, as long as Deng can reunify the world and end this troubled times that lasted for more than two hundred years, everything is known. And as long as Deng can make the people of the world live a good life in the future, no one will care about these infamy. On the contrary, it will be passed down for thousands of years. Qin Shihuang was not a tyrant who everyone called to beat, but after the Qin Dynasty was destroyed and the world was in war, who would not miss Qin Shihuang? Who would not want another Qin Shihuang?

The world has been in chaos for too long. People in the world hope that it can be unified earlier. This opportunity is placed before Deng State, giving Deng State the opportunity to complete this mission, but gave up, which made Cui Hao unacceptable.

Su Hong heard the resentment in Cui Hao's words, and not only had resentment towards Zhang Bin and others, but even Deng Sheng. However, Su Hong knew that Cui Hao was Deng Sheng's loyalty and there was absolutely no possibility of betraying Deng Sheng, so he smiled and said, "Brother Cui, you are the king's relative and an important minister in the court. For a long time, the king has used you very much. You should be very clear about what the king wants. What the king wants to be a famous king in the prosperous era and a saint king. He will never allow stains on his body. Even if it is a hundred years or a thousand years later, what the king wants to do is an emperor who is the same as Qin Shihuang, or even surpass Qin Shihuang. So even if you know that this is a good opportunity, the king will not choose to do it. Do you understand?"

Cui Hao nodded. Although he understood what Deng Sheng wanted, Cui Hao still felt that Deng Sheng was a little taken for granted. There are no perfect people in the world? Looking at the prosperous and famous kings in history, even the kings who created a great cause, there are more or less criticized stains. It is not easy to be a perfect prosperous and famous king? And it is hard to say whether Deng Sheng has the opportunity to be a prosperous and famous king. However, Cui Hao thought so in his heart, but he would not say it, so he said to Su Hong and left quickly.

Su Hong looked at Cui Hao's back as he walked away. He knew that Cui Hao was a little stubborn, but he believed that a smart person like Cui Hao could come out soon. If he couldn't come out, he would not deserve to be Prime Minister Deng.

"Shangshu Su, the king invites you to Ganyang Palace!" At this time, Deng Sheng's eunuch Gui Xiang came to Su Hong's side.

"Please ask Eunuch Gui to lead the way!" Su Hong nodded when he heard Gui Xiang's words, and then followed Gui Xiang.

In Ganyang Palace, after a group of ministers left, Deng Sheng returned here and sat on the throne with his eyes closed. He knew that just now, he missed the opportunity to unify the world the most likely thing in history, but Deng Sheng did not regret it after making the decision, because he knew that some things could be done, and some things could not be touched. Although as a king, there are more or less taints that make people criticize, cooperation with foreign tribes can no longer be called a stain. This is a terrifying reputation that has been infamous for thousands of years. Besides, sending troops now is just a great sure thing, and it is not absolutely possible to succeed. Once it fails, it will become difficult for Deng's country to unify the world, because the people of the world will resist Deng's country because of this.

"Greetings to the king!" Su Hong walked into Ganyang Palace and saw Deng Sheng sitting on the throne, saying he was polite.

Hearing Su Hong's words, Deng Sheng opened his eyes, sat upright, looked at Su Hong and said, "Have Su Qing comforted Cui Qing?"

Su Hong nodded and said, "Yes, the king, I have already talked with Cui Xiang just now. I believe Cui Xiang can understand what the king means, but it may be a little bit impossible for the time being."

Deng Sheng glanced at Su Hong. Although Su Hong said something very nicely, Deng Sheng knew that Cui Hao still didn't understand his mind. Su Hong has become less and less present over the years, and he has also acted as a mixed character. Deng Sheng knew that what he was thinking was nothing more than that he was old and would have to retreat in a few years, leaving a good image in the court and leaving a passionate feeling.

"Su Qing thought my decision was correct?" Deng Sheng asked Su Hong. At the meeting just now, Su Hong said nothing throughout the whole process, so Deng Sheng didn't know what Su Hong was thinking.

Su Hong smiled and said, "No matter what decision the king makes, I will always support the king!" Well, Su Hong is once again mixing with him.

"I should know what you are thinking?" Deng Sheng was not satisfied with Su Hong's unsatisfied answer.

Su Hong smiled bitterly and said, "King, I actually don't agree with sending troops at this time. It is indeed a god-given opportunity for the Great Deng to unify the world. In order to unify the world, it is okay to bear some infamy. But the question is, can you really be absolutely sure to defeat Zhao State at this time? If it fails, then I, Great Deng, will be the target of public criticism. Not only will the people of Zhao be dissatisfied with Great Deng, but even the people of Great Deng will have some ideas about the court because of this, so this risk cannot be taken!"

"I didn't expect that in the end, Su Qing knew me best!" After hearing what Su Hong said in his heart, Deng Sheng sighed and said, although he said that Su Hong knew him, Su Hong was only half right. It was a fact. Even if he had a 100% chance to win Zhao State, Deng Sheng would not choose to do it. This is Deng Sheng's bottom line in being a human being. You can say that he is pedantic, but you must not say that he is wrong.

Hearing Deng Sheng's praise, Su Hong was not happy, but lowered his head and remained silent. At the age of Su Hong, what he needed was not the praise of the king, but cautiousness and leaving the court smoothly, so that he could live a comfortable life in the future.

Although he missed a good opportunity, the court in Deng Kingdom still operated as usual, but Cui Hao said he was sick and had no director. Deng Sheng just smiled at this. He knew that Cui Hao had resentment in his heart, but Deng Sheng didn't care. Deng Sheng never thought of being the only one, so he didn't need a timid minister. Moreover, Deng Sheng believed that Cui Hao would return to the court soon.

This incident seemed to be just a small episode in Deng Sheng's opinion. However, in addition to not sending troops, Deng Sheng also ordered the guards in the north. Zhao State was defeated by the Wuhuan people and needed to draw troops from the Central Plains, which led to the emptiness of the Central Plains. They could not cross the border. They also sent people to Pengcheng to warn Chu State that all actions against Zhao State would have to wait for Zhao State to repel the Wuhuan people. As for whether Zhao State could repel the Wuhuan people, Deng Sheng said he was not worried. If the Zhao army with Zhao Xin was not an opponent of the Wuhuan people, how strong would this Wuhuan people be? And Deng Sheng believed that even if the Zhao army won this time against the Wuhuan people, he would not be too relaxed, and he might suffer a lot of losses.
