Reborn as the first poisonous concubine

Chapter 537 Bringing Down 12
Xiao Zhao's smile froze at the corner of his mouth when he heard that Shen Rui believed so firmly in Xiao Jingyao's character.

After a while, Xiao Zhaocai shook his head and gave a low laugh, and said thoughtfully: "This king knows that Shen Shangshu and Luoyang King have a good personal relationship, but Shen Shangshu doesn't know Luoyang King after all. If he is as noble as Shen Shangshu, then I will I will never disregard Shen Shangshu's face and personally ask the emperor to marry him on the grounds of military merit!"

Although Shen Rui didn't want to think about the marriage between the King of Luoyang and Wei Zijin, when he heard that he personally went to ask the emperor for a marriage, his body still inevitably froze.

Seeing Shen Rui's reaction, Xiao Zhao's lips curled slightly, and he said earnestly and kindly: "This king will never do such a thing as snatching a friend's wife... This king has always admired Shen Shangshu's character, and he is most willing to make friends with him." For a pillar of the country like Shen Shangshu, if Shen Shangshu is willing to work for this king, this king will definitely do his best to protect Shen Shangshu's glory and wealth throughout his life!"

When Xiao Zhao said this, seeing that Shen Rui hadn't responded, he said with a smile: "With Shen Shangshu's talent, it's not too much to become a prime minister in the future!"

His words have been made very clear, I believe Shen Rui will not fail to understand!
The prime minister, Han Yunzhi, is a well-rounded man, and he is also the most important minister of his imperial brother Xiao Heng. He cannot be wooed, but Shen Rui is different. Based on these two points, it is impossible for Shen Rui not to be moved!

While Xiao Zhao was waiting for Shen Rui to nod his head, Shen Rui finally frowned and said slowly: "Thanks to my lord, I think highly of officials. When I was an official, I didn't seek glory and wealth, but only for the benefit of the people! I have no intention of being a prime minister, I just hope to give more advice to the emperor!"

Shen Rui deliberately emphasized the words "consulting and counseling for the emperor", telling Xuanwu King Xiao Zhao that he is not a subject of anyone, nor will he advise or advise any prince. His allegiance has always been to the emperor!
After Shen Rui finished speaking, he turned a blind eye to Xiao Zhao's furious face, and stood up to bid farewell to Xiao Zhao: "My lord, please forgive me for taking my leave first..."

It's not speculative, he doesn't want to chat with Xuanwu King Xiao Zhao any more!In fact, when Xiao Zhao purposely found Huixian Tower and wanted to toast with him, he felt puzzled!
Later, Xiao Zhao's intentions can be said to be revealed!
It turned out that Xiao Zhao wanted to win him over, so he deliberately kept mentioning the marriage between the King of Luoyang and Wei Zijin in front of him, trying to make him hate the King of Luoyang!
Although he does mind a little, it will never affect his judgment on the character of the King of Luoyang!

As for King Xiao Zhao of Xuanwu, he has always kept him at a distance, because Xiao Zhao is the emperor's blood brother after all, he is the king of Xuanwu proclaimed by the emperor, and because he does not agree with Xiao Zhao's actions, and even disapproves of him. Together with several other ministers, he wrote to the emperor to remonstrate several times, but the emperor loved the Xuanwu King so much that he turned a deaf ear to their remonstrance, and there was nothing he could do!
But being powerless doesn't mean he will be wooed by Xuanwu King Xiao Zhao!Just like he made friends with Luoyang Wang Xiao Jingyao, he and Luoyang Wang have a good personal relationship, but it is only because they have the same hobbies...

Xiao Zhao thought that he was a courtier who was attracted by the King of Luoyang, but he didn't know that the only one he wanted to be loyal to was the emperor!
