Zisang took a step forward and said: "Shangqing's doctor Tu Su. I have heard that Tu Su is the favorite disciple of Marquis Anyang. Your Majesty can send him." After hearing this, King Wei was very happy and said: "I have also heard about this. Tu Su is upright and a direct minister, and I believe that he is not biased towards personal interests. Well, let’s just do what the Prime Minister wants.” The old master came up and whispered in Zi Sang’s ear: “Prime Minister, please be careful. Well, don’t fall down just like that. If you fall down this time, you will never get up again.” Zi Sang faced the old master and said, “Thank you, the old master, for reminding me. Zi Sang took note of it.”
At night, Zisang returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and began to draft a bill to be promulgated to the world tomorrow. Wei Guofu secretly left the palace and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion. He said, "The Prime Minister is really busy with state affairs." Zi Sang put down his pen, looked up and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here at the Prime Minister's Mansion?" "Wei Guofu took off his black cloak. Zisang patted his forehead, immediately stood up and apologized, saying: "It's Fu Chong! Forgive me, forgive me." Fu Chong sent the maid out to wait outside the gate of Xiangguo's Mansion, and said with a smile: "Xiangguo's memory is not good. , you forgot about me so quickly." Zi Sang bowed and said, "How dare I forget the kindness of my husband to meet me?" Then he helped Fu Chong to sit down and said, "Fu Chong, look I have so many things to do, I have no time to get away now!" Fu Chong said with some complaint: "Yes! Now you are the Prime Minister, you are busy, you are busy, you don't have time to come to the palace to see me." Zi Sang squatted beside her husband. In front of Chong, he said: "Fuchong! You are having a private meeting with a foreign minister. If the king finds out, it will be detrimental to Fuchong." Fuchong just smiled coldly. Zi Sang looked at Fu Chong hesitantly and asked, "Why is Fu Chong laughing?" Fu Chong looked directly at Zi Sang and said, "You are afraid." Zi Sang stood up and said, "Afraid! Why should I, Zi Sang, be afraid of Zi Sang?" Sang dared to compete with those powerful people, so why was he afraid? Zi Sang could die for Fu Chong at any time, and it would be difficult for him to repay Fu Chong's deep love for me." Zi Sang looked at Fu Chong, picked up the dagger on the table, and pulled out He pulled out the dagger and said, "If Fu Chong doesn't believe it, Zi Sang can take out your heart and show it to Fu Chong." Fu Chong was a little anxious and said, "Sang, put down the dagger quickly." Then he smiled shyly and said, "Who wants it? Look at your heart, put down your dagger quickly." Zi Sang ran forward, squatted down and looked at Fu Chong, and said: "Fuchong, do you believe it?" Fu Chong immediately said: "Okay, okay, I believe it, Letter!" Then he said: "The king is spending the night in Qin Nu's palace and nothing will be discovered. You should be relieved now."
Zi Sang sat aside, and Fu Chong asked again: "Let me ask you, Tu Su was recommended to the king by you." Zi Sang nodded and said: "Yes, I recommended it to the king." Fu Chong said with some worry. : "Do you know what kind of insect Tu Su is? He is the favorite disciple of the old Xiangguo. You are digging a grave for yourself by recommending Tu Su to the king." Zi Sang said, "Zi Sang knows about this." Fu Chong was a little anxious. He said, "You still do this even if you know it." Zi Sang stood up and stood in front of Fu Chong and said, "Zi Sang will not do it to eliminate dissidents. It doesn't matter who the student is for the national examination, as long as he has the ability. , should be reused by the king. Mr. Zisang once taught Yu Zisang that as long as you act righteously, you will not be afraid of slanted shadows." Fu Chong sighed and said: "The Prime Minister really has good intentions!" The reason why Zisang recommended him in front of the King of Wei Zi Sang saw that Tu Su was an upright person and would not seek personal gain.
The old master returned to his mansion, and a group of old ministers sat aside. The old master cried and said: "This Zisang, he is trying to kill us!" An old minister looked at the old master and said: "Old master, don't worry about this, Zisang The recommended Tu Su is the favorite disciple of the old prime minister. Recommending Tu Su to the king is equivalent to digging his own grave." The old master was also troubled by this matter and said: "You don't know something. This Tu Su has always been with the old minister. The Prime Minister's political opinions are not harmonious. Zi Sang also saw this. This is also its power. It seems that Zi Sang will not give us a way to survive." Other veterans said: "Old Master, we still have to deal with this. What can we do?" The old master said helplessly: "Zisang is reforming the law in our country of Wei and has received the support of the king. What can I do?" The old minister said: "We will collectively withdraw from the court. Let the king realize the importance of us veterans." The old master sighed and said: "I am already old and frail, so we will just pretend to be sick and not go to court."
Tu Su went to the Prime Minister's Mansion early in the morning to thank him, and the Prime Minister greeted Tu Su in the main hall. Prime Minister Zisang walked out and said, "Tu Da Chong." Tu Su thanked the Prime Minister and said, "Prime Minister." Xiang Guo stood in front of Tu Su and said, "You don't need to be polite when you slaughter Da Chong. Please sit down." Tu Su sat aside and said, " The Prime Minister wants to carry out reforms in our country of Wei, but I don’t know where to start?” Zi Sang said: “The reform should start with rectifying the local officials in Ye. The top priority is the flood problem in Ye. The people are suffering from it. We must eradicate lazy officials or kill them. Kill corrupt officials, promote officials with real talents and knowledge, and promote them according to their political performance." Tu Su looked at Zi Sang and said: "As long as the Prime Minister's law enforcement is fair and selfless, Su supports the Prime Minister's reform." With Tu Su's support, Zi Sang, Ye Di The reform was effective, and he said: "Combating corruption is the first priority. When Tu Da Chong is successful, I will recommend Tu Da Chong as the Ye Order of Ye in front of the king. I wonder when Tu Da Chong will set out?" Tu Su replied: "Today. Let's set off and rush to Yecheng at noon tomorrow." Zi Sang looked at Tu Su and said, "Sometimes I really want to chat with Tu Da Chong for three days and three nights." Tu Su said, "If the matter is urgent, follow the authority. There will be plenty of time in the future." "Then Tu Su stood up and stood in front of Zi Sang, saluted and said: "Prime Minister, Su takes leave now." Prime Minister Zi Sang stood up and returned the greeting: "You go, I will wait here for the good news of Tu Da Chong." Tu Su turned around and walked out. . Zi Sang looked at Tu Su's back as he walked out and said, "Those who act vigorously and resolutely are the talents of our great Wei state."
After Tu Su left the Prime Minister's Mansion, he drove out of Daliang, the capital, but was blocked at the city gate by a group of veterans from the old master. The old master stood up and shouted: "Tu Su, come down here." Tu Su got out of the car and saluted: "Old master." The old master asked: "Why did you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Tu Su faced After being pressed by these old ministers, these old ministers stood around Tu Su and said: "Today you have to tell us how to clear up, otherwise you will never leave Daliang City." The old master faced these veterans and said: "Tu Su has the king's order. Body, to stop it is to resist the king's order, which is regarded as a crime of rebellion and will lead to the annihilation of the clan." Tu Su faced these old ministers and said: "It's just a thank you." The old master said with some doubts: "Is this just a thank you? I'm afraid there is something else. Conspiracy." The other veterans said accusingly: "You ungrateful thing, if we hadn't seen that you were a disciple of the old prime minister, why would we have recommended you as a high minister in front of the king?" The old master stood among them and said, "Let's not talk about him." Then he turned to Tu Su and said, "Let me ask you, which side are you on? You have to tell us the truth. You have to think Okay." The old minister next to him continued to fan Yinfeng and threatened: "Tu Su, you must not stand on the wrong side, otherwise you will commit an offense and we will not be able to save you even if we want to, you must think better of it. Then answer." Tu Su said: "Thank you all for reminding me. I have already thought about it. Whoever enforces the law impartially and makes our Wei country strong will Su support? And go all out." The old teacher said: "Okay. , I understand, I want to tell you finally, you must write it down, don't forget that your husband is the old prime minister." Tu Su said: "Su has written it down." The old teacher said: "You can go." Then Get out of the way. Tu Su got into the car and drove away, heading towards Yedi.
After Tu Su arrived in Yecheng, Ye ordered him to take him into his mansion. At this time, Ye Ling's mansion was filled with singing and dancing. Ye Ling sat in the lobby and enjoyed the singing and dancing, mesmerized. Tu Su, who was sitting aside, had an obvious look of displeasure on his face, with a long face. When it entered the Yeling Mansion, its face was always black. Ye Ling looked at Tu Su and said, "Imperial Envoy, what do you think of these dancers?" Tu Su raised his head and looked at these dancers and said, "Okay! Okay! Ye Ling is really lucky!" Ye Ling laughed after hearing this. He said: "Dachong is really good at joking. I heard that you are the favorite disciple of the old Xiangguo. It will be fine if the king sends you to Yedi. I can rest assured." Then he clapped his hands again and Xia Chong carried in a big box. Tu Su left the case, stood in front of the big box, and said, "Ye Ling, why is this?" Ye Ling smiled and said, "A small gift is not a sign of respect. You will have more benefits in the future. These are just some greeting gifts. Tu Su opened the box, which was full of jewels and gold and silver. He walked over and sat in front of several cases, silent and silent. Ye Ling looked at Tu Su and said, "Who doesn't love money? Why doesn't the big insect say anything?" He then looked at the dancing girls and said, "Look at these dancing girls, they are beautiful! If there is anything that the big insect likes, The lower official immediately sent Chong to Da Chong's house." Tu Su raised his head and said: "Ye Ling went to such great lengths to bribe me with gold, silver and beautiful women, just to open the door of convenience for you. From now on, you have me. If you take care of me, you can conquer the people in a big way, so that the people's resentment boils over, but like this." After hearing this, Ye Ling smiled and said: "Don't speak plainly, big insect, you and I take care of each other, tacitly understanding each other, and tacitly understanding each other. ." Tu Su overturned several cases, stood up and walked up, glaring at him and said: "Don't even think about it." He walked out and stood in front of them and said: "The people are still suffering, but you are here enjoying yourself comfortably. I don't know how to care about the people, Wei Guo has you. How can these officials not decline? Su came here on the king's order as an imperial envoy to check the accounts. Please send the account books of each of your state offices to my residence." After saying this, he walked away and walked out of the Yeling Mansion.
After Tu Su walked out of Yeling Mansion, he wandered alone on the street, looking at these refugees. They had all fled here and were homeless. Yecheng was governed like this by these corrupt officials, with moans and groans everywhere, which was even more unpleasant in Tu Su's heart. How can we save these common people if we have nothing but blood? I was a little confused. The battle between the old and new forces began in Yecheng.
Tu Su went to Anyang Hou's Mansion, but Anyang Hou closed the door and thanked guests, so he became a bystander. Tu Su stood in front of the palace door, knelt down and called: "Sir." The servant opened the door to see Tu Su kneeling on the ground, and said, "My master said he doesn't want to see you, so you can take care of yourself." Then he closed the door of the palace again. Tu Su still knelt in front of the palace gate, looked up and said, "Sir! You don't even want to see Tu Su. Sir, our Wei State is so weak. Once, Zhao State captured the original capital of Anyi, and there were also foreign powers. Looking at the other countries, the Wei State could only cede territory to them and seek peace, in exchange for a short-term peace. The Ye region was flooded year after year, and the people suffered. The only way for the Wei State to make the country strong enough was through reform. The disciples supported the Prime Minister in the Wei State The task of reform is heavy. No matter how obstructed by the old forces and how bumpy the future is, its momentum is unstoppable. When disciples come to Yedi, the first thing is to rectify the government and remove all obstacles to the reform. Control the floods in Yedi and serve the common people. Good luck, Tu Su will not let you down." Then he stood up and left.
