Don’t be too poisonous to the concubine of the Wu family who was born in Wu

Chapter 520 178. The Art of Controlling Your Majesty (The Marquis’s Unique Technique of Controlling His Majesty)
  Seeing that Marquis Shangguan intended to interrupt him, Dongfang Shuo did not dare to say anything and stood aside calmly.

And this Situ Lan is a master who can't control his mouth. The words of Marquis Shangguan show that he has no good impression of Huang Shiliang anymore. If at this time, he talks more and wantonly digs out the power behind Huang Shiliang - -One day in the future, my master will be able to ascend the throne and become the legitimate king of a wealthy family. Then won’t the brothers also follow suit and enjoy the blessings?
  Situ Lan has his own selfish motives, and is always good at playing tricks and slandering others. This trick has been tried and tested by others, and he can figure out people's hearts and seduce people's wishes, but it is just for his own little selfishness.

Situ Lan paid attention to his words and deeds, and asked in a low voice: "My lord, what do you think of Huang Shiliang? No matter how rampant he is, he is just a dog beside the eldest son. He is courageous but not clever. If it weren't for the eldest son's guidance behind his back." , How dare this kid be so presumptuous? He is simply dying!"

But without thinking, he clapped his chopsticks with one hand, making a loud noise, and said coldly: "That bastard Huang Shiliang formed a clique for personal gain and did not care about life and death. What does it have to do with my elder brother?"

Situ Lan was startled. He lowered his head and buried his waist in his arms, apologizing again and again. His words trembled with fright, and he tried to apologize: "My lord... my lord... Situ Lan has already said... Situ is... just afraid that you are too good to others. I won’t guard against others. After all, the supervisory power of this black market belongs to you, my lord! If Huang Shiliang comes to light and his misbehavior is caught, my lord! My lord! You will not be able to get away with it!"

Saying that, Situ Lan still felt that it was not enough. He knelt down with a plop and begged for mercy. He was his master. Situ Lan knew clearly in his heart. Don't look at this small movement of tapping the table with chopsticks. In the eyes of others, it is just a painless move. It's an innocuous move, but when it comes to Shangguan Marquis, it's a sign of thunder and wrath.

Why didn't Marquis Shangguan know the serious relationship between this? What he was angry about now was that Situ Lan overstepped his authority by talking too much and shouldn't get involved in his own housekeeping issues.

In the final analysis, Situ Lan is just one of his servants. No matter how good the relationship is, there are limits. I usually tolerate him because this kid is indeed capable and his abilities are obvious to all, but when it comes to seizing the legitimate son and Gou Yan himself, Regarding his brother's matter, even if it is his own subordinate, Shangguan Marquis will not condone him in the slightest.

Marquis Shangguan remained calm and looked down coldly. He saw Situ Lan lying at his feet shivering with fear. He was very calm. He slowly picked up the chopsticks in his hand and slowly brought a mouthful of fried lotus root with sugar into his mouth. middle.

Before Situ Lan could get up from the Marquis without giving any instructions, he climbed up from the bottom regardless. His whole body was cold and cold, and he whispered to find a position for himself -

"My lord...I...I really think about you. Just seeing how Situ has traveled all over the world these years, riding a horse for the lord, is enough to prove Situ's sincerity! I hope your lord can see clearly that Situ has no second thoughts..." …”

Marquis Shangguan continued to eat, unmoved——

Dongfang Shuo, who was standing aside, couldn't stand it. Although he usually didn't like Situ Lan's overly voluptuous dress, he wasn't quite used to Situ Lan's eloquent and eloquent mouth...

But after all, he is his partner for many years. If he doesn't say a few nice words at this time, Dongfang Shuo will not be able to pass his test, no matter in terms of conscience or character.

Dongfang Shuo said cautiously: "My lord... just spare him. Situ Lan is thinking about you after all, but his words are a bit excessive. He will pay attention to it in the future..."

Marquis Shangguan lowered his eyes and said solemnly: "Will you pay attention? How to pay attention? He is known as the 'coloratura', that eloquent mouth that can talk even the dead. If he is allowed to pay attention to his sense of propriety, hehe~ just I’m afraid it’s harder than anything else.”

Situ Lan was completely shocked and quickly echoed the apology: "My lord! Your lord!! Don't worry, I will only tell the truth in front of you. I always tell half the truth and half lies in front of others. It’s just a rhetoric to trick the other party and seduce their will! In front of outsiders, Situ Juedu doesn’t dare to talk nonsense!! My lord... my lord!! You must believe Lan’er!!!”

It was only at this moment that Marquis Shangguan was willing to pay attention to Situ Lan. He glanced sideways and whispered softly, but his rebuke was measured. "There is a saying that Xiao He succeeds and Xiao He loses Xiao He. Your mouth is a sharp weapon for you, but it is also a weapon that brings you disaster. You must keep it in mind. Misfortunes come from your mouth. Be careful with your words and actions. If you should not say anything, Don't say anything nonsense, even if it's something you should say, think about it for a while before saying it."

Situ Lan shrank back and was horrified, but he still had to accept the punishment and the favor.

"Yes - I will follow the Lord's teachings -"

The words had already been said, so Shangguan Marquis was not afraid to say a few more words.

Marquis Shangguan put down his chopsticks, thought for a long time, and said warmly.

"I won't talk about anything else. I don't want to talk about the affairs of the government in the future, especially matters related to the seizure of the heir, from my close confidants. Take the matter of Huang Shiliang as an example. What he is doing now It is no longer his fault alone, others will more or less associate it with my eldest brother; in the same way, you are my confidants, and what you say and do not only represent you personally, but also represent me, Marquis Shangguan. Behavior, you have done something wrong, whether it has anything to do with me or not, others will think that this is my instruction. When it comes to the last resort, if something really happens to you, do you want me to exterminate the family in a just and righteous way? Or do you want me to follow my instructions? Are you going to die together?"

As soon as these words came out, Dongfang Shuo was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground. How dare an eight-foot tough man fight with fear.

"Lord... don't worry. In the future, I, Situ Shangguan, and your brothers will definitely pay attention to your words and deeds, and will never bring shame on your face, nor let anyone else say anything! If... if one day , the two of us...were really framed, and when we had no other way out, we would rather commit suicide than to leave any stain on the Lord's reputation!"

Hearing this, Marquis Shangguan sighed softly, and then slowly stood up. With one hand, he pulled his two men up from the ground. He had just spurred them, and their anger had already had a deterrent effect. Now it was time to comfort and respond accordingly. of encouragement.

Shangguan Marquis said earnestly: "You are the soldiers I trained with my own hands. I naturally believe in you. If it were anyone else, I would not bother to say so much. Whose life and death have nothing to do with me? They are all my own, so I will Thousands of warnings and warnings, taking precautions before they happen is the long-term solution.”

Hearing this, Situ Lan and Dongfang Shuo nodded repeatedly, not only frightened but also convinced.

Marquis Shangguan picked up two more glasses of wine from the table and personally poured the glasses for the two soldiers.

Pushing the cups into the hands of Situ Lan and Dongfang Shuo in turn, there was a hint of appreciative smile on their faces and said——

"Both of you! You are brothers who worked hard for me, Marquis Shangguan, and I shouldn't say anything. Compared with my brothers and sisters, you two are closer to me. It's useless to say more. I respect you two. Let me have a drink to thank you for your hard work following me all these years!"

As he spoke, Shangguan Marquis raised the glass to his lips, covered his face with his sleeve with his other hand, and drank the glass of wine slowly with all due courtesy.
