It was almost midnight, and it was finally deserted. Wen Xunpeng suppressed his drunkenness and blew the wind in the corridor. He thought that even a moment ago, there was a lot of traffic here, and the canopy was like clouds. He couldn't help but sigh: "Fire is cooking oil, flowers are blooming, it is true."
.”
"But it's also tiring."
The grandson rushed to the palace for a banquet, and then went home and held a family banquet, which was more difficult than waiting for others.
"Mr. Wen!" A voice came from behind. Wen Xunpeng saw that it was a servant and said, "His Highness calls you over."
"I'll go right away."
Wen Xunpeng followed him straight to the flower hall, and saw a group of people above the management level, and listened to Ye Buhui say: "It's the New Year, everyone has worked hard."
"The housekeeper will be rewarded thirty taels, the steward will be rewarded twenty taels, the deputy steward will be rewarded ten taels, and the remaining five taels, or two or three taels, will be distributed by the steward according to rank and merit."
"Now that we have been tired for the whole day, we are all exhausted. Let's all disperse..."
All the stewards on the left and right took the order, and everyone had their share. Naturally, they cheered and retreated. Even Ye Buhui also left. Only Wen Xunpeng was left in the whole hall.
"My lord, what are your orders?"
"You came just in time, follow me for a walk, and then go to the study to talk." Su Ziji smiled slightly and walked to the corridor. At this time, the sky was dark, rustling snowflakes were falling, and the bamboo leaves were shaking.
When Wen Xunpeng was summoned, he felt a little uneasy. Seeing Su Ziji's leisurely and calm demeanor, he calmed down. Su Ziji didn't go far. He just said what happened just in the corridor.
The snow was blowing softly in the wind, but Wen Xunpeng broke into cold sweat and his back was wet.
"I'm guilty, but I didn't notice this. If my lord hadn't been able to discern everything, I might have fallen into a trap, and it would be hard to redeem myself even if I died."
Su Ziji chuckled and said: "It is too easy for the superiors to trap the subordinates. Moreover, who would have thought that the emperor would trap me, the newly established grandson?"
"Sir, what is the crime?"
After hearing this, Wen Xunpeng calmed down and pondered carefully. He also knew that the Lord summoned him not to listen to his accomplices, but to make suggestions on his own. He was even more shocked in his heart. Although he knew that the emperor and the grandson had serious differences.
, But I didn’t want to get to this point.
But I have already boarded the boat, but I can never get off again. I can only do my best.
Seeing this, Su Ziji didn't take it seriously and said it according to his own thinking.
"Gu had a premonition that day, and as expected, someone wanted to pin the blame on Gu's head for leaking the story. There were all reasons. It was for Gu's friends."
When Su Ziji asked Yu Lu to keep an eye on Zhang Modong, it was just a feeling.
After the success of the Panlong Mind Technique, Su Ziji gradually became able to feel some mysterious and mysterious things, and many times he suddenly had an idea.
He trusted his intuition and reminded Yu Lu and Fang Xi.
It seems that Yu Lu and Fang Xi have not interacted with Zhang Modong, and there may still be other means waiting for those two people.
Wen Xunpeng took advantage of the buffer and said to himself that he had gained something, and his eyes flashed.
"Lord, it's actually not difficult to break this situation."
"Before the Spring Festival, even if the test questions are leaked, you can change the questions. The crime will kill several officials, but it is still too light and too light to hurt the lord."
"Therefore, if there is a conspiracy, it must be launched in the spring. Only in this way can we be targeted, get the evidence, and die in one fell swoop!"
"And if it's just to protect ourselves, as long as we report it first, we can defeat the emperor's plan."
"That's good. It seems you have other opinions?" Su Ziji's eyes flashed and he stood still.
"Yes!" Wen Xunpeng knew that this was actually a petition, so he cheered up.
"If the struggle is just for self-protection, not only will it be too passive, but it will also anger the enemy and make it more ruthless next time. Only by winning allies and attacking the enemy is the best strategy - and the emperor is no exception."
"First of all, leaking the test questions may not only involve one or two people, but even if it is one or two people, we have to leak it to more, more, the crime will be serious and out of control."
"You just said that the fortune teller is an adult. It's easy. You can send people to leak the information secretly, so that the disciples can go and seek the truth. Once you leak the information to dozens or hundreds of people and bribe tens of thousands of taels, this matter will cause a stir in the government and the opposition.
.”
Su Ziji had a plan, and he couldn't help but be moved after hearing this: "What else?"
"Also, how to turn bad things into good things? You have to know that if the question is leaked, even if the blame is placed on the lord, the examiners in this Chunwei session and the examiners in each room will not be able to escape the blame. This is not a small crime, even the most minor crime
They are also deducted from their posts and exiled. Considering that they have to deal with the great-grandson of our lord, they cannot let him go lightly. They have to be executed or even have their homes confiscated - are they willing to die?"
"The emperor's move is to force these examiners and the families behind them to a dead end - as long as we prepare in advance, we can take advantage of the opportunity."
"Of course, they must actually follow the lord and submit a certificate of surrender."
"Otherwise, death is just death. It is not a pity."
Su Ziji listened and said slowly: "That's right, I'll add one more."
"You can spread rumors secretly without targeting the emperor, but you can say that there are eunuchs who colluded with the examiners to leak the test questions."
Wen Xunpeng's heart trembled. Was he going to take advantage of this incident to force the emperor to kill the eunuch and take advantage of the chaos to install someone else?
Thinking of the Queen, he did not dare to say more and bowed in response: "Yes!"
"Since you understand everything, I leave this to you - do you know when is the best time to activate it?"
"The best time for the emperor to initiate action is when he enters the examination room. We have to counterattack. The best time is when he is about to enter the examination room and report it himself."
"In this way, you can not only turn your back on the client, clarify your suspicions, but also get involved in a major case and take the opportunity to obtain a number of ministers' letters of nomination."
"It's best to involve the chief and assistant officials."
"The first assistant may not be willing to get involved." Su Ziji closed the folding fan.
"It's not up to him. If we report a fraud case to him, he will have to deal with it, just because his position is that of chief minister. If he can handle it, even if the emperor understands it, will he emotionally forgive it?"
"The emperor's chief assistants cooperate sincerely, and the lord must never confront him. Only separation and disagreements will be of great benefit to the lord."
Su Ziji heard this and realized that in fact, he had already budgeted for these things, but he didn't expect Wen Xunpeng to really understand.
"Such a person is essentially an unparalleled national warrior, or one level above a wild Taoist."
"King Qi can't use it, so he really has nothing to say."
Su Ziji stared at Wen Xunpeng for a long time: "Then let me handle this matter, sir!"
Wen Xunpeng glanced out the window and smiled: "My lord, I'm leaving right now. If you have any questions, I'll come and see you."
Waiting for Wen Xunpeng to leave, Su Ziji turned around and said to the dark, "Did you hear everything?"
A person emerged from the darkness, a man in black. If you look carefully, it is Yu Han. He has a complicated look on his face. The emperor and his grandson were getting along well during the New Year's Eve dinner just now, and they don't want to plot this in the blink of an eye.
And Taisun handed him a note after the banquet, asking him to arrive at Taisun's house, just to let himself hear these words - otherwise, why bother to come out to talk at night?
Isn't it safer to be in a quiet room?
"Your Highness, I understand."
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I am a queen after all, and there are still people available."
"His Highness can use this to kill a group of eunuchs, and the empress can take the opportunity to put some people in."
"I will report everything I saw today to your Majesty. As for the specific candidate, it is up to your Majesty to decide." After saying this, Yu Han couldn't help but feel chilled. Taisun was really unfathomable, and he had another thought.
, if the prince was one-tenth as vicious as he was back then, he might be completely different.
"As it should be, go ahead!" Su Ziji said lightly, watching Yu Han's figure disappear, he couldn't help but smile.
"Perhaps, the biggest difference between me and the prince is that I am not only a time traveler, but also grew up among the people. I am neither loyal nor loving to this country!"
"There is no love and no loyalty, so nothing can be hidden from my sight."
Others may think it is a bit reckless, but the most taboo thing about fighting is not raising the flag and not uniting the hearts of the people. Using the emperor to frame yourself, and then making a clear horse and horse with the queen, you have to fight the emperor to see the results, so that you can truly unite your strength.
No, having illusions and ambiguities between each other will only benefit the emperor.
Or it can be said that this is also for the Queen to officially board the ship.
This is the same as the strategy just now. This is an insight that can only be obtained by level 18 in the way of government.
"At this time, Luo Pei is about to return to Beijing. Now, have you received my letter?"
Su Ziji turned his gaze to the outside of the corridor, as if looking into the distance through a thousand palaces and ten thousand pavilions. At this moment, the nearest temple bell rang, melodious and deep, echoing in the snow.
"It's Chinese New Year!" Children were chasing and playing in the streets and alleys, shouting happily, while all kinds of firecrackers and fireworks suddenly shot up into the sky.
