"Master Su, there is something I don't understand."
Ping An looked at Su Yang with burning eyes.
"Why did Mr. Su choose Zhu Di despite his talents?"
"If the young master accepts the recommendation of the chief minister Kou Baozhao and enters the court as an official early, with the young master's talent, he might be able to gain the respect and trust of Zhu Yunwen, so that he can admonish the emperor and prevent this from happening..."
To be honest, Ping An has never understood this truth.
During this time, he also learned a lot about the past in Xishan. For example, Mr. Su Yang came from Fangshan County, Beiping Prefecture, and then unexpectedly met Bao Zhao, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. The first time he wanted to recommend Su Yang to the court as an official.
But this Mr. Su refused again and again, treating the glory and wealth at his fingertips as nothing!
But if there were another outcome, if Su Yang accepted the recommendation of the great Sikou Baozhao and entered the court as an official to admonish the emperor, then none of this would have happened, and would the people of the Ming Dynasty be able to live a better life?
When Su Yang heard Ping An's words, he immediately laughed angrily.
What is this guy doing?
He still wants to morally kidnap me, Mr. Su?
"Ping An, Ping An, you think too highly of me, Su Yang!"
Are you still trying to remonstrate with the emperor?
Am I so awesome? Why don’t I know it?
As for Zhu Yunwen, the scholarly emperor, and Qi Huangfang, the Three Treasures of Jianwen, if he and Su Yang really dared to tell the emperor to stop reducing the vassalage, he would be thrown into the Heavenly Prison in the next moment, and he would die without knowing how!
"Master, what do you mean by this?"
"First, the people who really want to reduce the feudal vassal are Zhu Yunwen and the group of Jiangnan gentry around him, so even if I, Su Yang, become an official in the court, I will definitely not be able to defeat them."
"You might as well imagine that all the gentry in the dynasty are targeting one person, let alone me, Su Yang. Even if Marquis Zhuge Wu is alive, I'm afraid it will be difficult to move forward, let alone how to dissuade the emperor. I don't know how he died!"
When Ping An heard this, he immediately reacted and smiled to himself.
He had heard about the ins and outs of the Jinling court.
The Jin gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, headed by Qi and Huang Fang, were fighting fiercely with the veterans of the auxiliary government, headed by Wang Dui and Zhang Zhen.
But facts have proven that Qi Huangfang and the others undoubtedly have the absolute advantage, and the new emperor Zhu Yunwen can be said to obey their words!
Is this the so-called "be close to the villain and be a distant minister"?
Wang Dun, Zhang Can and other ministers were well known to both the government and the public as virtuous ministers. Even Emperor Taizu Gao highly praised them, so they were left to the new emperor Zhu Yunwen as auxiliary veterans. However, Zhu Yunwen promoted Qi Huangfang and others. This kind of behavior is really hard to understand and even harder to accept!
"Second, I, Su Yang, don't have that much ability, let alone any ambition!"
Su Yang smiled bitterly and said: "I'm just an ordinary person. I just want to protect my little wife and live my own life, that's all."
"As for the people, if I have spare power, I will naturally protect them as much as possible, just like these Xishan people, and try to make their lives as easy as possible."
"But that's all. If you want the people to live a better life, then don't look at me, Su Yang, but look at yourself!"
"Please remember that I, Su Yang, am lazy and would rather lie down than sit down!"
As soon as these words came out, Ping An's expression suddenly became weird.
He only felt that the glorious image in his mind was quietly disappearing.
"Master Su, if that's the case, why do you force me again?"
"I didn't force you!" Su Yang exclaimed, "Don't talk nonsense, or I'll sue you for slander!"
"Whether you are willing to surrender to Zhu Di or not is your own business. I am just talking to you as a friend."
"If you surrender to Zhu Di, it will speed up the end of the Jingnan War. In a sense, it will benefit the people of Li."
"If you don't want to surrender, it's no big deal. Just continue to take you here in Xishan. Anyway, my Xishan family has a big business, and I can still afford to raise an idle person."
Su Yang bit the word "idle person" so hard that even a fool could hear the underlying meaning behind his words.
Ping An was speechless for a while and simply continued drinking.
He always felt that Mr. Su in front of him was somewhat of a non-entity!
Previously, he was focused on persuading you to surrender, but when he really thought about it, he immediately changed his tune!
What does this mean?
Why are you talking like fart, inconsistent?
Su Yang smiled and looked at Ping An, who looked depressed.
Baby, I still can’t control you?
No matter how awesome you are, don't try to kidnap me morally!
Moral kidnapping, who doesn’t know how to do it? Come on, try it!
"It's just that if this happens, this battle of peace will last at least eighty or ninety years!"
"Tsk, tsk, then the entire Ming Dynasty will be beaten to pieces. Countless people will suffer from the war, their wives will be separated, and their families will be destroyed. It will be really miserable!"
"Then what if the remnants of the Beiyuan army on the Mobei grassland get the news and directly gather together and take the opportunity to send their troops south, the Ming Dynasty may really be in danger of overthrowing!"
As soon as Ping An heard this, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Su Yang with evil eyes.
"What a tragedy!"
"How miserable!"
"White bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crow for thousands of miles!"
"No one was left alive after being cut off, and the corpses were supported by each other. A man's head was hung on the side of the horse, and a woman was carried on the back of the horse..."
"That's enough!" Ping An was angry and slammed the desk.
This sudden scene frightened Ma Sanbao and he immediately started shaking people.
The secret guard commander Yi Er rushed in with his men and directly pushed Ping An down on the table.
Su Yang seemed to have not seen it, and was still describing the scene to himself.
"Those barbarian Tatars were killing no one like crazy. The bones of the dead were stacked against each other. The heads of men were hanging beside the horses, and the women they had snatched were tied up behind the horses..."
"People died in large numbers, the wilderness was covered with bones, and the sound of roosters could not be heard for thousands of miles..."
"Tsk, tsk, it's so miserable! I don't know if Emperor Taizu Gao has a spirit in heaven. When he sees this scene, will he..."
"Shut up!" Ping An roared in pain, "Stop talking, I will surrender, I will surrender!"
Upon hearing this, Su Yang immediately laughed and stopped carrying out mental attacks.
You bastard, you want to morally kidnap me, Mr. Su, I'm disgusting to you!
"What are you doing? Release General Ping An quickly!"
Yi Er and others looked at each other and honestly let go of their hands.
Ping An stared at Su Yang with an unkind expression, wanting to punch him!
This bastard is so inhumane!
"That's settled!"
"You are willing to surrender yourself. A gentleman's words are hard to follow!"
Ping An nodded stiffly, but felt relaxed in his heart for no reason.
"General, you can rest assured. In view of General Gu Cheng's precedent, I won't let you go into battle to kill the enemy unless necessary."
"In addition, I will also tell His Highness King Yan to ask him to order the secret guards to take action as soon as possible to find a way to rescue the general's family and relatives and send them to Peking!"
Ping An sighed when he heard this, but he still cupped his fists and saluted Su Yang to thank him.
At least they are all thinking about him.
"I dare to ask General Ping An, but do you still remember our Xishan Shenji Camp?"
Ping An was startled when he heard the words, and then lost his voice and said: "Young Master means..."
"That's right, please ask the general to rebuild the Shenji Camp!" Su Yang smiled slightly and revealed his ultimate goal.
What kind of grace will it be when Ping An becomes the general of the Shenji Camp?
