Chapter five hundred and sixty-five: true and false, false and true
After the shadow guards and various sects had left, a cold-faced guard in green clothes walked up to Ming Qi, bowed and said: "My eldest son, the master of the house asked you to go to the study."
Ming Qi nodded and walked towards the study.
Ming family study room
Ming Xun looked at the empty space under a floor tile in the study, and a hint of disappointment appeared on his face. However, the disappointment on Ming Xun's face only lasted for a moment, and then it changed to a majestic look that was neither happy nor sad.
As if what Ming Xun lost this time was of no importance.
Ming Qi knocked and walked in from outside, bowed and said, "Father."
Ming Xun turned around and looked at Ming Qi and said: "After all, we can't stop what is coming. The spy of Chu State is well-deserved."
Ming Qi saw that the opened secret compartment was empty, and he couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling: "Father, what should we do? If the contract is stolen, wouldn't the Zhao Kingdom's court immediately start to eliminate father's secret accomplices?"
Mingxun smiled and said, "Who said that the contracts they stole are all true?"
Ming Qi was slightly startled when he heard this: "Father, you mean that the contract they stole is a fake?"
Ming Xun shook his head and said, "It's true, but it's not entirely true."
Ming Qi was startled and said in surprise: "Did father have anticipated this day long ago? Then why didn't father make it all fake?"
Ming Xun shook his head and said: "Biying is not so stupid that he can't even distinguish between true and false. If there are some false contracts mixed in a stack of real contracts, then the false contracts will have credibility, but if they are false
If a bit of truth is mixed into the contract, it will be considered to be all fake, let alone a fake contract. In that case, it will be easily seen through. Everything in the world is true and false, and false and false are true. There is no absolute
Is it true or false?”
Ming Qi immediately bowed his hands and said: "My child has learned a lesson!"
Ming Xun said: "Go find a shovel."
Although Ming Qi was confused, he quickly went out and got a shovel, but when he came in, he found that Ming Xun had already moved the floor around the hidden compartment.
Ming Xun looked at Ming Qi and said, "Dig."
Ming Qi nodded, and began to dig hard with a shovel, digging down from around the hidden grid, and soon dug a large pit with the hidden grid as the center.
The shovel went down the hidden grid and dug out handfuls of soil, even rubbing it on his body.
Finally, a small box was dug out. Mingxun shoveled the small box up with a shovel and asked, "Father, this is..."
Ming Xun took out the box and opened it. Inside was a stack of contracts.
The papers of these contracts are slightly yellowed and appear to have been aged for some time.
Ming Qi looked at the contract blankly and said in surprise: "Is this also a contract?"
Ming Xun laughed and said: "The spy's intelligence capabilities are unparalleled in the world, but they never thought that there is a secret grid under the secret grid."
Ming Qi was surprised: "Father has already divided the contract into two parts? One part is hidden in the secret compartment, and the other part is hidden in the rammed earth under the secret compartment, in order to avoid the spy shadow's tracking?"
Ming Xun nodded and said: "Yes, it's true, false, false, false, true, who can completely decipher it?"
"So that's it." Ming Qi looked admiring, but suddenly his expression changed: "No! Father, if the shadow guard can find this information so quickly, there must be someone inside the Ming family. Be careful that there are ears through the walls."
Ming Xun laughed and said: "As a father, of course I know that walls have ears, so there is no need to panic."
Ming Qi said doubtfully, "Father, if the walls had ears, they would have heard about the existence of this other contract. If they came to steal..."
Ming Xun shook his head and said, "Then let them steal it."
Ming Qi was startled and said in surprise: "Did father have a plan in advance?"
Ming Xun laughed and said: "If they don't come to steal, this contract will be true. If they come to steal, this contract will be false."
Ming Qi didn't understand it at first, but suddenly he thought of what his father said about true and false, false and true, and he immediately admired him: "Father is really smart!"
Ming Xun said: "Later, my father will give you a list of stolen contracts. You and Liu'er sneak back to Zhao State, tell them about the stolen contracts, and ask them to leave the capital and their posts immediately and take action in advance."
Ming Qi pursed his lips and said, "Father, now that our Ming family has been targeted by the Chu State Shadow Guards, how can my second brother and I get out?"
Ming Xun smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, although the shadow guards have noticed you, they won't stop you."
Ming Qi wondered: "Why?"
Ming Xun said: "Stopping you will not benefit the Shadow Guards or the Chu State at all, but if we can contact these generals, this will be beneficial to the Chu State, and they will be happy to see it happen."
Ming Qi asked again: "Then these contracts in father's hands..."
Ming Xun sighed and said: "If this uprising can invade the vicinity of Gyeonggi, then this contract will be of great use to us. If it cannot be done, or even fails, then let this contract be hidden in the world. However,
Now it seems that the possibility of failure of this uprising is more than 70%, are you afraid?"
Ming Qi's eyes were firm and he said: "My child is willing to live or die with his father and build a new Zhao country! But... the third brother is still young after all... If our Ming family fails, we should leave some kindling."
Ming Xun said: "I have my own arrangements for Zhou'er, you just go ahead."
Ming Qi handed over his hands for the last time and said, "My child, go now!"
After saying that, Ming Qi left the study.
Mingxun put the contract box in his hand back to its original position, compacted the soil again and covered the floor. After doing this, Mingxun walked out and ignored it again.
Whether it is a stolen contract or a contract that has not been stolen, several of these contracts are fake.
However, the names on these fake contracts are not written randomly. The names on these fake contracts are all treacherous ministers of the Zhao Kingdom who can only flatter others and even lower their eyebrows to please foreign enemies.
Among them, the one with the highest official position was Qin Hui, the treacherous prime minister of Zhao State.
The treacherous Prime Minister Qin Hui corrupted and perverted the law, framed loyal people, enriched his own pockets, and even knelt down and betrayed the country to the foreign tribes for glory. When General Long defeated the foreign tribes and had to sign a contract in exchange for annual coins, he was the one who facilitated it.
Sometimes I really have to admire that the skills of foreigners in raising dogs are really top-notch. They even raised them to the level of the Zhao Kingdom’s temples and held high positions!
It’s really scary to think about it!
It was precisely because Zhao had such an official who brought disaster to the country and the people that Ming Xun added some false contracts to the contract.
He knew that Zhao State would definitely purchase this information from Chu State.
In this way, when Emperor Zhao found Qin Hui's name in the stack of contracts, he would definitely be suspicious of him.
Even if he was lucky enough to see through the fact that the contract was fake, it would be useless.
Because whether this contract is true or not, it was obtained from him, even if he knew it was a fake, Emperor Zhao would still have a grudge in his heart.
This is human nature.
A temporary loss of trust will take a long time to make up for.
This is the opportunity he fights for himself and for Zhao Guo.
The State of Zhao is not only the State of Zhao for the royal family named Song, but also the State of Zhao for all Zhao people.
Even if his uprising failed in the end, if he could bring down the traitorous prime minister Qin Hui for Zhao, wouldn't that be another kind of success?
