At this time, the wind and rain suddenly stopped, and the room was so silent that Su Shi seemed to be able to hear the heartbeat on the other side of the wall, and also feel the other person's shock and nervousness.
"Why are you doing this?" Su Shi's questioning voice rang out in the silent room: "Once your Majesty dies, there will be chaos. If there is chaos, the people will inevitably suffer miserably. You keep saying it is for the people, but you What he did did caused the people to suffer. Isn’t this self-contradictory?”
"Master Pei did this to take the initiative to cope with the disaster." The deacon explained: "In fact, regardless of whether Master Pei takes action or not, the emperor is destined to die on July 17. And after the emperor dies, Daqian will also fall apart. A catastrophe is coming.”
"Listen to what you are saying for yourself." Su Shi's eyes showed not only a trace of disappointment, but also full of sarcasm: "Taking the initiative to accept the disaster? This excuse can probably only deceive those stupid men and women."
After being silent for a while, Su Shi sighed again: "Even if you don't tell me the reason clearly, I can probably guess it, so why bother to hide it?"
The other party was not angry, but said calmly: "Master Su, what do you mean by this? Don't you believe what Master Pei said?"
Su Shi said: "I have no doubts about Pei Xuan's prediction about Da Qian, but I don't believe in your motives. In fact, the reason why you do this is just to disrupt the world and get a piece of it. That’s all.”
"Mr. Su's words are nothing more than judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart."
Su Shi didn't get angry and replied calmly: "Really? I believe that Pei Xun should have participated in the Three Kings Rebellion twenty years ago, which caused drastic changes in the court and bloodshed in the capital."
"Ten years ago, he planned to murder the prince. Although there was no political shock, it caused the prince's national policy to have no beginning and end, resulting in the current situation of out-of-control business, which is more harmful than before."
"Now he is repeating his old plan to murder Your Majesty in order to bring chaos to the world and realize his ambition."
Without waiting for the deacon to refute, Su Shi smiled and continued, "Is this the Ying Jie that Pei Xuan said? In fact, he has always been the source of Daqian's troubles, and you are just a pawn in his eyes."
"But I don't believe you can't see it." There was a trace of deep sadness in Su Shi's eyes: "Even if you see Pei Xuan's intention, you will pretend not to know. Princes, generals, would rather have the guts! Since the Great War is about to With the decline, it is no longer known who will take the supreme position. Pei Xuan is using you, so why aren't you using him?"
Su Shi felt a little thirsty as he spoke. He poured himself a cup of tea. After drinking it in one gulp, he slowly placed it on the teacup and said, "Mr. Deacon, what else can you say?"
The voice said unhurriedly: "Since Mr. Su thinks that we have evil intentions, why are we willing to give up our position as leaders and sincerely invite Mr. Su to join us?"
"It's very simple, because once Pei Xun dies, you won't be able to play anymore." Su Shi said calmly: "The prince rules the country with the laws of later generations. Once the prince dies, his national policy will change. In the same way, Pei Xun is not the same. I will use the ideas of future generations to guide you, but once Pei Xuan dies, I believe you may not be able to understand those ideas, let alone convince others."
"At this time, you urgently need someone who has the same experience as Pei Xuan to be your flag. Unfortunately, you found me."
The deacon sighed and said, "So this is how Mr. Su views Master Pei and us?"
"I always act like a villain before being a gentleman. I will speculate on others with the greatest malice from the beginning. If it turns out that my speculation is wrong, I will sincerely apologize."
"Nothing can confuse people more than power. I have rarely seen people who can't change their original intentions in the face of power."
The other party also knew that he could not convince Su Shi. After a while of silence, he asked, "What do you think Mr. Su can do to show our sincerity?"
"It's very simple." Su Shi replied: "Give up your plan and sit back and watch. After July 17, if His Majesty is still alive, it means that the world has changed. Then you should break up, and I can let the court forget the past. .”
Speaking of this, Su Shi couldn't help but sigh: "Actually, Pei Xun is right about one thing. No matter what his philosophy is, whether you really agree with his philosophy or not, it is impossible to succeed at the moment. Even if I take over Neither is his position.”
"Why?"
"No matter how advanced the concept is, without a solid foundation, it is just a castle in the air. The idea of imperial power has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and it is extremely difficult to change this idea. Therefore, no matter how beautiful and exciting Pei Xuan paints the prospect, it is just a mirror image, and in the end it is Will follow the path of imperial power."
"Then Mr. Su, do you dare to have a bet with me?"
Su Shi immediately became interested: "I never refuse any bet. How does the deacon want to bet? What is the bet?"
"If the young master loses, we hope that the young master can join us. If the young master wins, we will dissolve the Tongxin Association as the young master said."
"Tongxinhui? Brothers are of the same mind, and their power is as powerful as gold." Su Shi said seriously: "How do you want to bet?"
"We are betting on whether Emperor Zhou Yi of Daqian will die on July 17."
Su Shi sighed softly: "It means you will never give up on murdering His Majesty. If I can stop your plan, I will win, otherwise I will lose?"
"But do you know what the consequences of this bet are? If I win, I don't know how many heads will fall to the ground. If I lose, Daqian will fall into eternal disaster."
"Master Su, are you afraid?"
Su Shi was silent for a long time, and finally raised his head and said, "Actually, Pei Xuan's plan is not flawless. Just like the purple smoke rising yesterday, I can roughly guess who the person you are hiding in the palace is. So I didn't tell Princess Pingle because I still have a little respect for Pei Xun and guessed that you might want to realize a great ideal, so I have been hesitant in my heart and have always wanted to meet you, hoping to persuade you to give up. plan of."
"But if I accept this bet, I will do my best and I will show no mercy. Do you really want to bet with me?"
"Because Mr. Su doesn't believe in God's will, this bet is not between us and Mr. Su, but between God and Mr. Su."
Su Shi said in surprise: "A gamble with God? Do you think your plan is favored by God and I can't stop it at all?"
At this time, the voice suddenly became extremely confident: "Master Pei said that if Mr. Su intervenes in the Shocking Plan, it may not be successful, but this will not affect Zhou Yi's fate." Then his voice became ethereal, as if full of energy. A magical power: "No matter whether the Shocking Plan succeeds or not, Zhou Yi will definitely die on July 17."
