The wild Taoist took advantage of everyone's attention to be on Wei Shiming and retreated directly.
Walking along the side of the ship, you can see that despite the rain and snow, the boats on the canal are cruising like crucian carp, the flow is endless, and there are also a few painted boats swimming leisurely among them.
Most of the boats are double or three-story, and each floor can hold more than a dozen dining tables, representing the splendor of the capital. Standing on the boat, you can see the calm and gentle water of the canal, and the hazy mist and rain extending into the distance.
"My lord, it's incredible." The wild Taoist looked at Yanyu from a distance. This obviously unpredictable method was just like Yanyu's. He couldn't figure it out and couldn't see clearly. He became even more awed.
After a while, the snow that had been falling had not only turned into water on the ground, but had simply turned into drizzle.
The wind blew and the drizzle hit me diagonally. The wild man who took the boat ashore and climbed onto the bullock cart couldn't help but shake. After getting on the bullock cart, he simply changed into a dry coat in the cart.
robe.
When we returned to Duke Dai's Mansion, it was still daylight. Su Ziji went to the cabinet as usual this morning and came back at noon and was painting in the study.
Knowing where the master was from the servant, the wild Taoist entered the main courtyard and went straight to the study.
After knocking on the door and being let in, the wild Taoist admired his lord who had just put down his pen and was looking down at a painting, and reported: "My lord, everything has been done."
He stretched out his hand to make a three-digit gesture and asked, "Do you want to add more fire?"
Su Ziji knew that this meant that it was confirmed that three famous people in the capital had spoken out. Three famous people speaking out were enough to form a public opinion. Any more would attract people's attention.
Of course, it won't work without it. Public opinion will play a big role in this kind of matter this year.
Su Ziji hoped to control things to the extent he wanted and did not want to escape from his control, so he had to bury the truth in advance and guide public opinion.
"That's almost it. Three are enough." Su Ziji looked at the painting and lowered his eyes.
"[Danqing] Level 18 (13950/18000)"
"[Calligraphy] Level 18 (7500/18000)"
Since the last calligraphy and painting given by the emperor was used up, the progress has been slow. However, to make up for the qualifications and charm, the ordinary level cannot be increased, and it must be Dzogchen to increase.
"Although that dream was not long, it revealed a future, that is, the future. It is very likely that the spirit tide will be revived. Authority may not be the mainstream, and personal force may also rise."
"The great power belongs to myself, I must take the initiative in this process."
Therefore, the perfection of these two skills was imminent. Su Ziji didn't know why, but he felt a great sense of urgency in his heart.
"However, even if the Lord is sensible, I am afraid that the kings will not appreciate it." The wild Taoist did not know what the Lord was thinking, and reminded him as he thought of the several "spies" discovered at the boat banquet.
"Although the people of the King of Shu are trying to bite the King of Qi, they still start from colluding with the generals. Regardless of whether the King of Shu knows it or not, he is currently riding a tiger and is unable to get off. And the King of Qi is afraid that he will not give up after being attacked like this by the King of Shu."
"This is a good thing, but the two kings of Qi and Shu are not fools. Before the decisive battle, I am afraid they will clear the place, and the person who will clear the place is the lord."
In other words, you may be set on fire.
Doesn't this make Su Ziji a little speechless?
I originally thought that the two kings of Qi and Shu were rivals who had been fighting for several years, and they also had staff, so they shouldn't be so stupid, and they immediately started playing a game of nearly killing each other and exposing their own shortcomings, but that's what happened.
Su Ziji pondered and said: "You are right, they will definitely not appreciate it, so I have to enter the palace."
"My lord is going to see the emperor?" This was the first reaction of the wild Taoist, but he rejected this guess.
Based on the relationship between my lord and the emperor, going into the palace to see the emperor at this time is unlikely to make the emperor change his mind, unless he finds another helper.
In the palace, besides the emperor, there is another person who is related to his lord.
"Are you going to see the Queen?"
Su Ziji glanced at him appreciatively: "Yes, but not just one person, but everyone. This painting I just painted will be presented to the empress when I go to see the emperor."
With that said, he put the painting away and put it into a long box, and smiled: "You don't have to worry, the emperor will not let the situation get out of control."
"But you also need to carefully sort out the entire industry and manpower of Duke Dai."
"If there are any hidden dangers or any unclear points, they should be dealt with immediately. Do you understand?"
The wild Taoist looked serious. The accident caused by the fool of the King of Shu has been known to both the government and the public. Many people are also cleaning up their mansions. They stood up and bowed respectfully: "I understand that I will sort it out carefully and will not give anyone any chance to get in the way."
.”
Su Ziji nodded with a smile. Wild Taoists have many dragon-slaying skills, including the human-observing technique, which should be able to clean them up very thoroughly. However, even if they comb carefully, the two kings can always find troubles to attack.
"But still, this is where my value lies."
"The two kings of Shu and Qi are the emperor's sons, and I am the emperor's grandson. There is still a layer of separation between us, not to mention that I have been living among the people for eighteen years. In fact, I don't have much affection. It is not surprising that I am regarded as a tool."
"It's different from the last stage where I just suffered miserably. In this stage, I have to gradually gather my own people to contain the two kings of Shu and Qi. It can be said that three or four will fight, and six or seven will be beaten. This can not only increase my strength,
I can also complete the mission given by the emperor, and even let the emperor promote me to another level."
"And in the process, I changed the emperor's impression of me little by little, making him realize that the gentleness of the emperor and grandson is due to nature, and the filial piety to friends is due to nature, which can lead to the great rule."
Fighting for heirs is a subtle knowledge. It should be done step by step and adapted to local conditions. Do not regard one place or one city as a gain or loss.
It doesn't mean that you can completely hide your strength and bide your time. Just "hide your strength and bide your time" like King Lu did. It is safe, but there is no chance. Neither the government nor the emperor will consider making him the prince.
"During this process, the most important thing is to meet the emperor more and cultivate family ties."
Many people always think that politics and monarchs are cruel and ruthless. In fact, people's personal relationships account for at least half to one-third of the factors, especially emperors and lonely people. Why don't they want true family affection and love in their hearts?
It's just that I am often burdened by state affairs and have to make decisions.
Su Ziji lowered his eyes and saw half a piece of rosewood floating in his field of vision: "[The Way of Government] Level 14 (9750/14000)"
"As it escalates, I become more and more aware of the struggle for direct heirs. The affairs of the world, affairs of the government and the public, family matters, including emotions, are blended together like this mist and rain, regardless of each other."
"What will it look like if it reaches level 20?"
Thinking of this, Su Ziji said: "Those three people have already boarded my ship. You can send someone to contact them. You don't have to get there in one step, just get closer gradually."
"Governing a big country is like cooking small dishes, and the same is true for talents. It will naturally come true."
After Su Ziji finished speaking, he stopped talking and let someone hold an umbrella and walked into the misty rain.
