Su Shi's mansion is on the same street as Zhu Tianming.
Zhu Tianming himself did not expect that if he was in Bianjing in the future, he would probably not see him with his head down but his head up.
Zhu Tianming followed Su Shi into the mansion,
Su Mansion Courtyard is surrounded by whitewashed walls, green willows hanging all around, three gatehouses with hanging flowers, and hand-curved verandahs on all sides.
In the courtyard, the corridors connect to each other, and the mountains and rocks are dotted. There are five wooden buildings with a plaque saying "Keep your health and cure your character, practice righteousness and pursue your ambitions".
The entire courtyard is magnificent, graceful and luxurious, with luxuriant flowers and exquisite flowers. The backyard is full of roses, treasures and a pool.
What surprised Zhu Tianming the most was that in addition to the formation restrictions outside the mansion,
Inside the house, apart from the formation that stabilizes the homestead, there are no other formation restrictions.
Zhu Tianming secretly thought that he was indeed the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the layout of the house was really beautiful.
The two came to a hall, and Su Shi said to the servants waiting:
"Go and make a pot of good Ningshen scented tea."
"yes!"
The servant replied respectfully.
Zhu Tianming looked at Su Shi and the surroundings of his home.
He didn't speak immediately, but waited for Su Shi to speak.
Su Shi was very handsome, completely different from the image of middle-aged and elderly men in Zhu Tianming's impression.
Su Shi let out a long sigh and said:
"Is it difficult to understand why I am in opposition?"
Zhu Tianming was speechless for a moment after hearing this. What should I say?
Zhu Tianming could only say:
"Shilang Su must have his own opinions."
Su Shi sighed again and said:
"How can I not see that the contradictions in the Song Dynasty have accumulated to a certain extent?
Taxes are heavy, spiritual fields are being annexed, and labor is numerous. Various aristocratic families, princes and nobles are oppressing the common people. The road from the lower class to the upper class is slowly being blocked.
It is difficult for commoners to obtain a few spiritual crystals in their lifetime, but nobles can spend money like water and money. "
This... is like this in many dynasties. Wealth is concentrated in the hands of the upper class, while the middle and lower classes own less than 10% of the wealth.
Zhu Tianming said nothing. Su Shi obviously had something to say.
Sure enough, Su Shi said again:
"But is the reform so easy? What is being sacrificed here are the interests of the nobles, the royal family, the nobles, and the gentry. How can we underestimate the strength they have?"
Zhu Tianming really couldn't get involved in the messy affairs of the Song Dynasty. He just wanted to get enough benefits in the Song Dynasty, then occupy a few territories and develop his own.
Now we have no choice but to rely on the Song Dynasty.
The Song Dynasty was notoriously bad, and the emperor was even more stupid. He worked hard for the Song Dynasty. It was impossible for Zhu Tianming to work hard for the Song Dynasty in his life.
Zhu Tianming said:
"But if we don't reform, there will be another uprising similar to Liangshan sooner or later. By then, the area involved may not be the four prefectures, but probably half of the country. It will be more violent and violent, and the losses will be even greater!"
Su Shi's eyes flashed and he said:
"There is no establishment without destruction. Only through great destruction can there be great establishment. Wouldn't it be more effective than reform to let a group of bandits kill most of the gentry, nobles, royal relatives and nobles?"
Zhu Tianming was sweating profusely. This Su Shi was really a man who would die without making any surprises.
He is indeed a crazy student.
I also understand why Su Shi opposed reform, what a gambler’s mentality!
If the situation cannot be controlled, the Song Dynasty may be overthrown.
Zhu Tianming said carefully:
"But the royal family, nobles, nobles, and nobles are generally of high cultivation and have a certain number of soldiers. How can they be killed so easily? Moreover, Mr. Su, your thoughts are very dangerous."
Su Shi's handsome face was a little ferocious, and he said with great disdain:
"Is there any danger? This world is the world of the common people, not the world of the nobles and gentry. People think that I support the conservative faction, but in fact I wish that all the nobles would die!
The nobles have a very high level of cultivation. Don’t the leaders of the rebellious refugees have a high level of cultivation? Do you think there was no big human force behind the Liangshan Uprising? "
Zhu Tianming is in a panic now. What do you mean by saying these words to me? If word gets out, I won't be allowed to die with you.
There was also a lot of information, and it wasn’t complete. Zhu Tianming was speechless.
If I knew that you, Su Shi, were so crazy, I, Zhu Tianming, should not have entered your Su Shi's mansion.
"What? Are you scared?"
Su Shi could clearly see Zhu Tianming's inner thoughts at a glance.
Zhu Tianming said immediately:
"I am loyal to the Sun and the Moon of the Song Dynasty."
To be honest, Zhu Tianming hoped that the Song Dynasty would be in chaos, so that he could have a chance to gain military exploits.
The Song Dynasty now has absolute strength in its hands, and any rebellion is in vain. At most, it will only hurt some vitality.
"Mr. Su, your idea is very good, but the Song Dynasty is really at war. In the end, it is the people who suffer. If they prosper, the people will suffer. If they die, the people will suffer."
Zhu Tianming said with a compassionate look.
Su Shi seemed to have expected it.
“How can we usher in real reform without sacrificing some people?”
Zhu Tianming felt that Su Shi was too crazy and just a lunatic. He had to escape early, otherwise it would be bad if he was dragged into the water.
"Master Su, I have something else to do. Do you think so?"
Su Shi said with a half-smile:
"I can help you introduce Cai Jing and Qin Hui."
"Um?"
Zhu Tianming, who had just stood up, sat down again with a smile on his face and said:
"Those things I discovered below can be dealt with later."
Su Shi said:
"The condition is that you surrender to the conservatives."
Zhu Tianming cursed in his heart. After saying so much, the last few sentences are the key. You, Su Shi, must have laid the groundwork too long.
Zhu Tianming immediately said seriously:
"My loyalty to the Song Dynasty can be learned from the sun and the moon. I will definitely help the country of the Song Dynasty and devote myself to your majesty and the Song Dynasty until my death."
Obviously Zhu Tianming regarded Su Shi as a madman, and at the same time he was telling Su Shi that since Zhao Kuangyin supported reform, he would support reform instead of being conservative.
Su Shi looked like he had expected it, and continued to follow up, saying:
"We can let you personally kill Li Kui, Zhang Shun, Shan Tinggui and others. As for Lin Chong and others, it is impossible. Our greatest ability is to let you personally kill some Liangshan leaders who are not very important in Liangshan."
Zhu Tianming asked:
"Is this what Prince Jin means?"
Su Shi said:
"This is what King Jin wants. King Jin knows that the reformists will fully support you in opening a mansion and building teeth. But as long as you secretly surrender to us, we will also support you in opening a mansion and building teeth, and it will not make Wang Anshi and the others suspicious."
Zhu Tianming:….
"What are the conditions? Is it just to surrender to you?"
Zhu Tianming asked.
Su Shi said:
"Of course it's not just this. It becomes a secret knife in our hands. Once the world changes, you must support King Jin."
What does this mean?
Does King Jin want to rebel?
Zhu Tianming seemed to have thought of something.
Gan!
Zhao Kuangyi has such courage?
In fact, Zhu Tianming had always underestimated his status. After all, he was a certain marquis in the future and was already a high-ranking figure in the Song Dynasty. Not to mention that he still held a small amount of military power. He was definitely the target of the two factions.
Zhu Tianming asked tentatively:
“What if I don’t join you conservatives?”
Su Shi said:
"I have told you so much today, do you think you can successfully build a palace if you don't secretly surrender to us? We are not fools, how can we let Wang Anshi and others manipulate us."
