"Get out of the way, I want to see the imperial envoy!"
"Guys, come on!"
The voices of people were getting closer and closer. Su Ziji looked out and could already see the people walking in front, as well as the torches they were holding, and the angry faces under the torches.
And the armored soldiers who were getting more and more nervous and drew their weapons.
Zhang Dai has soldiers here, but they are only thirty or forty men. Even if he draws his sword and confronts him, how long can he hold on?
What's more, among those people, there were also people arranged by the old emperor.
When the time comes, even if many people don't want to charge, they will coerce and charge.
Even if someone wants to protect Zhang Dai, they will be defeated.
Su Ziji could already hear clearly.
I heard those people continue to shout: "die for the country, starve to death at home!"
"You guys who are helping the tyrants to perpetrate their crimes will not survive anyway. Kill us, come here, come here, stab us here, stab us here. If you can, kill us!"
"Kill us if you can! Kill us all!
Someone even shouted: "Come on! The imperial envoy is inside!"
"We want an explanation and justice!"
The armored soldiers protecting the imperial envoy showed a cold light, and the crossbows that had been scolding him slowly took aim again.
Su Ziji looked at all this, shook his head, turned around and looked at Zhang Dai.
Half of his face was reflected by the faint firelight outside the window, flickering brightly and darkly.
Su Ziji stared into Zhang Dai's eyes: "The civil uprising is right in front of us. Once the civil uprising occurs, it will be embarrassing for the imperial court and its name in history."
"Is this what you want?"
Zhang Dai's face is pale, but even now, he has not given up immediately. His firm belief has pushed him for so many years, how can it be easily shaken?
Even though his expression changed, the look in his eyes when he looked back at Su Ziji was still firm, and he said in a deep voice, "It seems that the grandson blames all of this on me?"
Hearing this, Su Ziji seemed to have heard a joke and laughed.
His smile made Zhang Dai stand up stiffer and stiffer.
"You! Even now, you still think that I came here alone to target you?" Su Ziji shook his head repeatedly: "Master Zhang, you actually know it very well in your heart, but you just don't want to admit it. Do you think what you did
All of this is to be loyal to the emperor and to be a good minister?"
Zhang Dai didn't say anything, but it was obvious that he thought so.
The way of a monarch and his ministers is that no matter how great a grandson he is, he is still a minister to the emperor.
If the emperor wants to deal with the grandson, the grandson will naturally bow his head and die, instead of facing the ring.
I am His Majesty's minister, so I must not forget this important fact.
Su Ziji asked with a smile: "I won't discuss the matter of Gu He and the Emperor. I can't tell the difference between right and wrong - but you have always been stubborn and your actions are extreme. But do you know why the emperor repeatedly imprisoned and released him, and released him and used him?"
"
What he said was not only rude to Zhang Dai, but also showed no respect for the Holy One in his words.
Zhang Dai did not want to argue with Taisun. The civil uprising was already underway and he had already advised Taisun to leave. He had fulfilled his duty as a minister and if Taisun refused to leave, it was not his own fault.
"Perhaps, if my grandson dies here, he can still keep his reputation!"
But when he heard this question, he was still startled. Sometimes when he was alone at night, he also knew that he was too stubborn and could not tolerate the officialdom. He even offended the holy face many times. Why would the emperor still use him like this?
I originally thought that the emperor respected virtue and tolerated him, but now it sounds like there is something different?
Zhang Dai looked at Taisun with a deep look, and finally spoke, asking: "Does Taisun know the reason?"
"Lonely knows."
In the light of the fire, Taisun spread out his fan, admired the pattern, and replied: "The emperor still uses the word "greed" for people like you, but in fact it is still the word "greed!"
"greedy?"
"You use me because of greed!"
Zhang Dai frowned. He had thought of thousands of reasons and opinions, but he never thought of this. For a moment, he was stunned.
"Yes, greed."
Su Ziji glanced at the sky again, and there seemed to be an eagle singing vaguely. His heart skipped a beat and he relaxed again. He turned around with a smile and his tone was particularly calm.
"The emperor is greedy and wants everyone to be as incorruptible as you. It would be better if they could do things well, so he set you up as a role model."
Zhang Dai had known this for a long time and asked: "To correct an overreach must be to overdo it. Isn't this bad?"
Corruption is rampant in the world, and cliques cannot be restrained. Overcorrection must be corrected. Although I am extreme, it is like a bent pole, and it can only be corrected by bending it over and over.
"Actually, this is the same as a good deed." Su Ziji slowly closed the fan in his hand and said calmly: "Too much is not enough."
"In my opinion, the most important thing in the world is the system, which can be called the wind of heaven."
"This system is not about issuing a few laws and decrees, but about building a high-level building and running the road to achieve success!"
"The second is virtue, which is to set up as a model in order to refresh the atmosphere."
"There is nothing wrong with setting an example, but the emperor was too greedy, so he used you and promoted you to a high level, letting everyone learn from you."
"Those who are not as good as you are flawed. Even if they are honest, but not as upright as you, they are still wrong!"
"If you are upright, but not as honest as you, it is also wrong."
"Even if you do your job well, but there are some flaws, you will not be rewarded, but will be punished."
"But ask yourselves, have you been a hard-working official for these years? Are you tired?"
"If it is convenient, easy, and inexpensive, then everyone can do it, and if everyone takes a small step forward, society will be like - to make the kings, Yao and Shun better, and then make the customs pure."
"If good deeds and honesty are only considered to be up to your level, then doing good and being honest will be in vain - since you are often offended like this, then why bother to be good and honest? You only want to cling to cliques and are unwilling to do any good deeds.
, and there is no way to be honest."
"If the typical person is brought to the level of a saint, then everyone will be lawless."
"This is public corruption!"
"The standard of a righteous person is one step higher than that of ordinary people, but only one step further."
"Punishment of self-interest has been going on for eternity, and punishment of public corruption is unheard of. In fact, that's it."
Besides, Zhang Dai, who was praised to such a high level, didn't he also provoke a popular uprising?
Even if this civil uprising was deliberately promoted, if Zhang Dai had not done that, such a civil uprising would not have happened.
Corrections must be excessive, but corrections must not last long.
Level 18 politics has touched upon the essence of politics.
Such words were unheard of, and Zhang Dai was dumbfounded after hearing them.
"Zigong redeems people, and Zilu receives cattle?"
"Public corruption?"
Is his behavior considered corruption? Or is it public corruption?
Zhang Dai has always demanded all officials with his own requirements. Even though there are tens of thousands of people there, he hates people with moral flaws and will not tolerate such officials.
Now Taisun tells him that doing this will make the officials even more lawless?
Because he was set up as a role model, was he wrong?
Seeing Zhang Dai stunned, Su Ziji didn't care.
His words were addressed to Zhang Dai, but in fact, they were not just addressed to Zhang Dai.
There was paper and pen and ink on the table next to him. When Zhang Dai was dumbfounded, Su Ziji had already walked over, picked up the pen and started writing.
He wrote very fast, with a flourish, and he finished it very quickly. He didn't read it carefully and put down the pen directly: "No matter how overcorrecting it is, it is still a carrying pole, not a ladder!"
"But since ancient times, monarchs and ministers have not understood this, but they are all mediocre!"
"But today my joy is over, and your life is about to be destroyed. I'm afraid I can't talk about it anymore. Seeking benevolence and getting benevolence is nothing more than this!"
"Just say goodbye!"
When Su Ziji said this, he heard the clear call of the eagle approaching, waved his sleeves, and walked out of the house.
