Su Ziji said these words very calmly, but the content of what he said was really difficult to calm down.
Each sentence was like a thunderbolt, hitting each person in the room one after another.
There was no thunder outside, but when Su Ziji finished speaking, there was a loud thunder, and a gust of wind blew up, causing the leaves to sway, and it seemed to disturb people's hearts.
Zhang Dai's face suddenly turned pale, and then became livid. He seemed to be trying his best to control himself. Under the flickering candlelight, he looked a little obscure. His eyelids were a little loose, hanging down to cover his eyes at this moment.
But the trembling body and uncontrollable red eyes had revealed Zhang Dai's mood.
The room suddenly became quiet.
Su Ziji didn't speak anymore, and Zhang Dai didn't speak either.
Zhang Dai was silent at this moment. He didn't know whether he was speechless by Su Ziji's words, or because of the division between monarch and minister. At this point, he could only bow his head and admit guilt, or he could only defend himself fiercely.
If you don't select either, you won't be able to respond.
But regardless of the former or the latter, Su Ziji looked outside through the screen window and actually didn't care.
He came, but only because he wanted to.
Whether Zhang Dai listens or not depends on Zhang Dai and not on himself.
Zhang Dai was indeed an upright official, but he was not considered a capable minister. He had done all of these things, including cultivating land, encouraging farmers, and planting mulberry trees, but he had rarely achieved results or even had counterproductive effects.
Because this person actually does not understand economics and has no practical plan. Blindly cultivating land and encouraging farmers to plant mulberry trees will only waste public funds, make people's livelihood difficult, and be bad for the overall situation.
This means that when a corrupt official takes office, the sky is three feet high. When Zhang Dai is an official, the earth is thin.
The two elements of integrity and stubbornness are too concentrated in one person. In addition, Zhang Dai has a strong personality and has a strong personality. When he meets an old emperor who wants to take advantage of this minister, all the elements are really combined.
.
What would happen to Zhang Dai if he didn't leave would not surprise Su Ziji.
At this moment, there were disputes and shouts outside, and Su Ziji couldn't help but look out the window.
Wu Wu, who was already close to Baizhang on the mountain road, was surrounded by people. He stood in front of the crowd, protected by a few people around him, and watched coldly as more people rushed forward.
The few people who protected Wu Wu were there to prevent him from getting into an accident on the road.
Comrade Wu knew this very well, and he did not dare to complain about it now that the matter had come to this point.
In the eyes of people other than these people, Wu Wu was the one who led them to ask for an explanation from the imperial envoy.
Every move he made was watched by pairs of eyes.
Wu Wu could only shout at the signal of a few people around him: "Don't be afraid, everyone, we have many people and we are reasonable. They don't dare to do anything to us. We just want an explanation!"
When others heard this, they started shouting.
"Yes, we just want an explanation!"
"My family died fighting for the imperial court, why aren't the pensions paid?"
"Poor my sister-in-law, she lives on these two pensions, and she fainted from hunger after one meal!"
"Although my family didn't die in battle, they were maimed following Taizu, but they ended up in despair!"
"The imperial envoy is inside! Let's go! Ask him for an explanation! We can't just let it go! They have more people, and we have more people! If they dare to attack us, then we will fight them!"
"The man is inside! Don't let him escape!"
"I must ask him for an explanation today!"
"Don't be afraid, everyone! There are so many of us. If you have the ability, we will kill us all!"
Not everyone on the mountain road has the courage to move forward. People have been afraid of officials for thousands of years. When they walked here and saw soldiers with bright swords and guns, some people became afraid.
But seeing this, someone immediately raised their arms and shouted, hitting the sore spot with every word. Under the influence of this atmosphere, the people who had a hint of regret at first felt their heads heat up and started roaring.
Someone took the lead, and everyone around them roared together. The voices of countless people shouted, which not only emboldened their own people, but also made the soldiers who were blocking the face change greatly, and they couldn't help but want to retreat.
However, the imperial envoy is right behind them. If they retreat and let these people rush in, what good results can they achieve if something happens to the imperial envoy?
Cannot retreat!
Don’t dare to retreat!
"Don't be impulsive, don't draw your bow!" The hundreds of households in front of the battle were covered with sweat. I have seen this situation once. Not long after the founding of the People's Republic of China, production has not recovered. There was a famine. The government had not had time to provide compensation. The rich took the opportunity to stockpile grain. The hungry people could not bear to rob it.
Rice grill shop.
When the leader was killed, hundreds of households were just officials and soldiers, and tens of thousands of people watched in silence. The situation at that time was like a red-hot oil pan. Once a spark falls on it, it will explode.
Even the specially dispatched officials did not dare to add fuel to the fire and went over in person to offer a bowl of wine before executing the beheading.
Now, almost the same situation is encountered again. Hundreds of households know very well that if they suppress it now, they will either disperse as soon as they hit the people, or they will explode immediately and lead to a civil uprising.
Hundreds of households could not afford this responsibility, so they had to order the soldiers not to draw their bows - if their hands trembled, something bad would happen - and there was a temporary stalemate.
The attitude of Baihu also made those who rushed over with torches more confident.
If there is a way and the law is right, don’t blame everyone.
One or two people, or even a dozen or dozens of people, who have committed the serious crime of beating and killing officials, must be sentenced to death, and may even have their homes confiscated and their families exterminated.
But once the number of people reaches tens of thousands, it is like ants gathering in tens of thousands. If there are too many, they can kill an elephant.
No matter whether the people who do this are ordinary people or prestigious scholars, if they gather in a certain number, it will be an extremely terrifying civil uprising. Their attack can make all laws invalid in an instant.
To be honest, suppression is not difficult.
But these are not traitors, nor are they soldiers of the enemy. They are family members of those who died in the war, scholars who serve the cause of justice, and people who seek food and pension.
Not long after the founding of the People's Republic of China, a civil uprising broke out. Who can bear the responsibility?
Su Ziji looked quietly into the distance, his eyes flashing coldly.
"The emperor's plan is too vicious!"
"It's also a bit too irresponsible."
"Opening such an opening would be very detrimental to the country!"
In this situation, as long as the leader is determined to die, this move is almost a sure kill.
Once this is done, it is basically difficult to stop it.
Anyone who tries to stop him is like a mantis trying to use his arms as a car. He will be directly run over and crushed by the car.
Who is not afraid of being broken into pieces?
Su Ziji's eyes returned to the silent man in front of him, and he shook his head slightly, as if feeling sorry for the other man's silence.
Afraid?
No, at least the person in front of me doesn't seem to be afraid.
The rain was falling heavily outside, and the sky was also gloomy. The entire mountain was originally lifeless, but a fire dragon meandered around and awakened the mountain.
Anyone trapped in this huge cage is waiting for a horrific catastrophe.
Very early on, Su Ziji understood the principle that his heroes are my enemies and my heroes are his enemies - the more heroic and loyal ministers are, the more they should be killed.
But this is true, and we are really facing it today.
Not to mention that Zhang Dai was an upright official with little talent, he was honest, honest and talented at the same time. Su Ziji wanted to kill him quickly.
