Dai Guogongfu
The next day, before dawn, Su Ziji washed up and ate early. He went to the study, only to see the candlelight flickering, and the wild Taoist and Jian Qu were already waiting inside.
Su Ziji was not surprised, and said: "We will discuss going to court for a while, and you can read the details here."
With that said, he handed the impeachment document that he had revised several times to the wild man.
The wild Taoist looked at it, was silent for a long time, and passed it to Jian Qu.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Su Ziji asked, "What do you think?"
The two of them were still silent. For a moment, the wild Taoist spoke: "My lord, your literary talents are incredible. Just reading this excerpt, I feel that it is indeed not a trivial matter and should be taken seriously. It's just that my lord, I want to talk to Shu now." The king is angry?"
"The King of Shu will be furious, or there may be a counterattack."
Handing over this document to impeach the King of Shu is equivalent to declaring war with the King of Shu.
Jian Qu has been silent since reading the excerpt, but his silence is different from that of the wild Taoist. In order not to become a mediocre commoner, the wild Taoist was willing to rely on the county gangs, and was not lenient in helping and harming others.
But although Jian Qu worked as an aide to Marshal Southwest, fundamentally speaking, he was a scholar, and he was a scholar who angrily took refuge in Marshal Southwest because he was dissatisfied with injustice.
What the King of Shu did made Jian Qu feel disdainful. From his heart, he actually admired and agreed with his lord for revealing the true face of the hypocrite King of Shu. But from the perspective of a counselor, he also agreed with the words of the wild Taoist, so he just silence.
Su Ziji was stunned for a long time, and sighed: "I am a member of the Great Zheng clan, and I have received great Zheng Qi, so I have to do things for it. I can't see evil without doing anything wrong."
"There are no unbroken eggs when the nest is overturned. This is the righteousness of the Lord." Jian Qu sighed: "You can think this way, which is a blessing for Dazheng and even more for the common people!"
"Although this may offend the King of Shu, it is related to the turmoil on the border. If we all protect our lives wisely and do not investigate or solve the problem, it would be too unjust for the soldiers who died fighting the enemy on the border now."
It is more efficient to find the source of unrest and then solve it than to blindly fight blindly.
Although to the superiors, the death of tens of thousands of people on the border may not be a big deal, Jian Qu did not want the King of Shu to force the Ning State to rebel and bring chaos to the border of Dazheng, but he was still praised as a wise king, at what cost? Don't pay either.
"And that's not necessarily a bad thing."
If you want to fight for heirs, you can't just keep silent. No matter whether King Lu is really mediocre or fake, his mediocrity will make him out of the game immediately.
The wild Taoist listened silently and did not refute.
Su Ziji was not surprised when he saw this.
The three staff members he has hired have different personalities. He naturally knows who is good at what and what their personality traits are.
Due to his experience, Jian Qu is also an adviser, but in fact, among the three, he is more likely to be emotional, and if he does not do well, he will easily go astray and appear a bit extreme. In other words, he is the middle-aged and elderly angry youth of this era, with a little idealism. , resentment is difficult to resolve due to disillusionment of ideals.
As for the wild Taoist, although he once learned the art of slaying dragons from others, he has never been able to show his ambition. He spent the first half of his life in the world, and even mixed up in local gangs. He did a lot of dirty work and unscrupulous things, and his bottom line was relatively small. Low.
To achieve his goals, he can do whatever it takes, and he can be regarded as a counselor who can come up with all kinds of conspiracies. But he is not a villain, because Lu Fengyun's desires are elsewhere, and money, fame and fortune can hardly seduce him. This person is the biggest His dream is to show off what he has learned, to be able to assist an emperor with his skills, to really stir up the wind and clouds, and not to waste his life.
Even if I die for this dream, I will die without regrets.
Cen Rubai also has the aura of the world, which is very different from the aura of wild Taoists. Because he once assisted the prince and was born in the East Palace, he is a serious scholar. He has his own limitations and arrogance. He is not very good at conspiracy, but he can do it. Advisor.
So Jian Qu struggled for a while and agreed with Su Ziji's decision. Although the wild Taoist was worried at first and then became silent, he might be the one who really understood the true intention of Su Ziji's move.
"Since there is no doubt, we will follow this plan. As for King Shu's counterattack, we will prepare carefully. We have an advantage, that is, we have a small frame and a small spread."
"Even if the King of Shu wants to fight, it will be difficult to find the key point."
Just as he said that, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, and Su Ziji smiled: "Mr. Cen is probably back."
Cen Rubai had gone out to do some work before and was not in the house. He could have gone directly to the study room, which was the most likely option. Sure enough, the next moment he heard Cen Rubai ask outside the door: "My lord, I would like to see you."
"Mr. Cen, please come in." Su Ziji said. As soon as the door opened, Cen Rubai came in from the outside.
He closed the door and bowed to Su Ziji, then his eyes fell on Su Ziji's folding book and sighed: "My lord, are you really planning to do this?"
This question means that he already knows that Su Ziji will go to court today to impeach the King of Shu.
Su Ziji asked back: "Sir, do you think this is bad?"
"It's not good. Doing this at this time may give you a strong enemy in the capital." Cen Rubai said, "After all, our foothold is not stable now."
Su Ziji looked at Cen Rubai. Although he said so, the expression on his face did not show much concern. Obviously, Cen Rubai also knows the current situation in the capital and Su Ziji's current position.
But knowing it well does not mean that he agrees with the Lord to attack the King of Shu now.
"The arrow is on the string and must be fired!"
Su Ziji didn't know what he was thinking, his face was expressionless, he sighed for a long time, turned around, picked up a book, and pulled out a letter: "Mr. Cen, please deliver this letter to Mr. Wei Shiming personally. .”
I heard that Mr. Wei only returned to Beijing from his hometown during the Chinese New Year. He had been away from Beijing for several years, but his influence was still there and he was a famous person.
After handing over this task to Cen Rubai without any beginning or end, Su Ziji went directly to court.
Cen Rubai took the letter and followed his lord out of the main courtyard. He stopped in the corridor and watched as his lord walked away. Then he looked back and saw the wild Taoist coming from the side with his hands in his arms.
"Brother Lu, what do you mean by this, my lord?" Putting the letter in his arms, Cen Rubai asked with some confusion: "Even if we want to impeach, we should impeach King Qi."
"It is rumored that Duan Yanxing was executed because of his friendship with King Qi. Many people have heard about this, and there are witnesses who can prove it."
"What does it mean to choose the King of Shu instead of the King of Qi? Whether this matter is big or small, it may not be able to sway the King of Shu."
After hearing this, a smile flashed on the wild Taoist's face: "You, this is the wisest thing about my lord."
"The sage said: A small stick will lead to suffering, a big stick will lead to walking away."
"I have something to say again, don't be close to each other."
"The Emperor and King Qi of Shu are both father and son. Is it more serious to lose three counties on the border or to make friends with the Forbidden Army?"
"The loss of three counties is just a minor offense and reprimand is enough. But making friends with the Imperial Guards is related to the safety of the emperor and the legal system of the court. Even the King of Qi can't bear it. If you expose him, he will fight to the death and there will be no reconciliation. Is the emperor willing to depose the King of Qi or even give him death?"
