But this has nothing to do with Su Ziji. Looking carefully, I can't help but think to myself: "Yu Qianzhi and Cao Yiyan are no different, and there is no trace of a clique, but this matter is unusual."
"Especially Cao Yiyan, his past is too clean, he is as ordinary as another person."
"I think I have some experience in reading people. Cao Yiyan is definitely not that simple."
"Then the information is wrong."
This was not what Su Ziji expected. There was a secret hidden and it was well hidden. In a short period of time, it was indeed impossible to find out the truth using the methods of a wild Taoist.
After looking at the remaining five people, not only did he have a complicated look on his face, but he also sighed heavily: "The rebels are really talented and smart, and they have masters!"
"Why?" The wild Taoist looked at it in confusion. He didn't see much from it.
Su Ziji pointed to the public information and explained: "Don't look at these pieces of information, but if you look carefully, the tactics of the thieves are actually very obvious."
"The mountainous areas are rugged and full of villages. The thieves and soldiers do not want to fight in the field. One trick is to delay, making it difficult for the officers and soldiers to fight decisively."
"Although I don't know the specific details, Qin Fengliang and Qian Zhidong had no choice but to take advantage of this strategy and use the manpower and material resources of the prosperous times to squeeze out the enemy and kill them."
"But tens of thousands of troops fighting for a long time will consume millions of military salaries every year... Even a prosperous country cannot easily afford such expenses."
"So in the last defeat in Southwest China, I'm afraid the court has a greater responsibility for urging us to fight."
"But this is none of our business at the moment. I'll give you a task. First, investigate the students of Taixue. There are more than a thousand students in Taixue. It's unrealistic for you to investigate them one by one." Su Ziji smiled: "But I There is nothing to keep secret about the investigation, and it is not difficult.”
"It's the basic family background, background, and achievements."
"You can hire people from nearby areas, or even the Tai students themselves, each responsible for about thirty. Presumably these Tai students who are familiar with the situation are willing to make some extra income."
The wild Taoist agreed: "It's not difficult."
After thinking for a while, he said: "Sir, are you in a good mood?"
Su Ziji turned around, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "I was in a fog just now, but now I have figured it out."
In a word, the Sacred Heart is still between two choices. This is exactly the perspective after enlightenment.
For the emperor, if he didn't have any idea, why bother looking for the prince's bloodline? But to what extent the prince's bloodline could play a role, the emperor was afraid that he had no idea.
"I backed down at Yu Qianzhi's suggestion. The emperor can only give me an official status. As for the next emperor, he has no control over his life, death, honor and disgrace."
"If you strive for success, the emperor may not really deny it. The competition between the two kings of Shu and Qi is getting increasingly fierce. Don't you want a buffer? You have to be a buffer. The only way is to recognize yourself and be listed in the genealogy."
"But once he is listed in the genealogy, he will have the status to compete with the kings of Shu and Qi."
"Not even the emperor can ban it."
Su Ziji thought about it and smiled: "Whether it's pretending to be in a maze, or whether it's a thorny road, people have to walk the road. If you don't walk, there will definitely be no road."
The wild Taoist felt a chill in his heart. He felt that in this moment, the young master's demeanor had changed drastically. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard Ye Buhui's voice from outside: "Husband, your classmates are here to find you. Are you awake?"
This was Ye Buhui's reminder that someone was coming.
"Go to the next door and wait for me first." Su Ziji glanced at the wild Taoist.
This person can be regarded as his own secret influence. Although he is not shameful, it is unnecessary and naturally he will not be exposed to the imperial students.
"I'm awake. Who's here?" Su Ziji asked when he saw him entering.
"Brother Su Xian, it's me, Shao Sisen." A familiar man's voice sounded outside.
Su Ziji thought to himself: "Why did this person arrive suddenly?"
The body has walked over and opened the door.
Ye Buhui was not outside the door at this time, but went to the small stove next door, seemingly intending to boil water and make tea.
As expected, Shao Sisen stood outside the door. When he saw Su Ziji coming out, he cupped his hands and said, "Sorry for bothering you."
"Please come in quickly." Su Ziji said with a smile on his face, "Why do you say that the troublesome person is a guest? I just don't know how Brother Shao got to this layman's garden."
"I came here to see Brother Zhang. I heard he said you were moving in. Come and have a look." Shao Sisen also smiled: "Do you need any help?"
Su Ziji shook his head: "Everything is fine here."
"Then I'm relieved." After Shao Sisen finished speaking, seeing that Su Ziji had no special reaction, he quickly changed the subject and talked about the real purpose of his visit.
"By the way, the monthly test results are out. Brother Su Xian, your monthly test was rated first by several adults in Taixue. You even posted an article for students to copy and study."
"You have also heard about going to the Ministry for internship, right? You have also been included in the list of internships and will be working in the Yamen soon."
Looking at Su Ziji, Shao Sisen sighed: "Although I have known for a long time that you are talented, my dear brother, I didn't expect you to be so outstanding. It's really hard to grasp the situation."
These words have a bit of a sour taste.
Su Ziji smiled and saw Ye Buhui coming in with a cup filled with tea leaves. He rolled up his sleeves and held the pot in his hand, pouring boiling water into the cup, making a small hissing sound.
Su Ziji listened quietly to the sound of the tea leaves stretching, sat down and smiled: "When drinking tea, dew is the best, and snow water poured on the spot is also good. Please use it."
Shao Sisen looked at the tea. It was as green as amber and the room was filled with the fragrance of tea. Suddenly, he felt that Su Ziji had the air of a gentleman and spoke nicely and sincerely. He couldn't help but secretly feel that he couldn't bring himself to be jealous at all.
In the future, we will definitely be ministers of the same palace, and we should support each other. Thinking of this, I lost all my little thoughts and asked: "Internship, where do you want to go?"
Su Ziji smiled. The names of the two military thieves and the Southwest Rebellion came to mind. He pretended to be casual and said, "Let's go to the Ministry of War to study first."
This answer was beyond Shao Sisen's expectation. He hesitated and said: "Although the Ministry of War is one of the six departments, it is also a good place to go, but we are all scholars. You really want to go to this place where there are many people in the army."
Just to put it bluntly, you really want to go to a place where you may come into contact with unlearned and rude warriors in the future.
Su Ziji's smile did not change: "Why don't you go to the Six Arts of Junzi? Even the Imperial College students will not be left unused. Since you can go to the Sixth Department for internship, of course you can go to the Ministry of War."
As he spoke, he leaned forward and said, "There are priorities in being an official. There are Fang and Xian in the grassland, and there is the Lin Kingdom in the southwest, and they are all keeping an eye on Dandan."
"Now that something is happening in the southwest, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is Lin Guo's collusion to cause chaos, and Fang Xian's Second Division is also ready to make a move and has repeatedly provoked the border. I am afraid that the border may be unrest in the future."
"We, the scholars, aspire to be in charge of the central government. Although we don't need to go into battle personally, we still need to know a little bit about military affairs."
"Otherwise, in the next ten years, I may not be able to get ahead."
Shao Sisen was enlightened after hearing this.
When he learned the results of the monthly test, he had mixed emotions. He felt that he had always controlled the top few students, but was pushed out of the first place by a newcomer. It was really frustrating.
But when I heard this, I was frightened. As an official, you have to cater to the general trend. Since the border areas will be unrest in the next ten years, this is the general trend. Only by catering to this can officials stand out.
Seeing Su Ziji smile and say nothing after saying this, Shao Sisen had secretly made up his mind and prepared to go to the Ministry of War during his internship.
Since Su Ziji can go, he can naturally go too!
