"You think I don't understand this! To govern a big country, we need able ministers and officials! To protect the country, we need these ministers and noble families! To consolidate the territory, we also need these famous generals! If there is no reward for land and food, who is willing to lead troops to go to war for me? There is inherent high and low in the world.
!I have never levied additional taxes on the people!"
Li Longji looked at Xu Bin and said firmly: "Xu Bin, I believe in your sincerity. I believe you are doing it for the good of the Tang Dynasty."
"The saint believes now." Xu Bin pursed his lips bitterly and said, "It's a pity that it's too late, I can't live, but I will take the saint with me."
"Get ready." Li Siye bent his knees, ready to eject at any time.
Dai Wang also stepped out with his left leg first. He was facing the emperor, but his eyes were looking at Xu Bin.
"Wait!" Zhang Xiaojing gritted his teeth and said, "Let me persuade him. He shouldn't take the blame for those people!"
"Xu Bin! Put down the torch!"
Xu Bin shouted hysterically: "Zhang Xiaojing, get out of here! You shouldn't be in this place!"
"Who are you taking the blame for? You can't handle such a big thing!"
Xu Bin shook his head in despair and said: "You don't think I can do it. Yes, I am an eighth-grade clerk in the household department. I just distribute slips and receive official documents every day. Every time there are important officials from various ministries who come to do things, Xu wants to
I chatted with them for a few words and talked about state affairs, but they..." Xu Bin pointed back at the emperor: "It's just like the expression of the saint now, with his eyes above his head and his nostrils pointing to the sky! No one listens to me."
"I have pioneered the art of writing large-scale cases! All I have done is to let those who look down on me know that I am a capable minister in governing the country! I also want to let them know how I can do this alone!"
While Xu Bin was speaking, Li Siye wrapped the scarf tightly around his face and stared at the torch in Xu Bin's hand. He was thinking about the biggest problem in his heart. Even if he could save the man holding the torch now,
It was difficult to save his life. According to his story, he took the lead in using Xiao Gui to attack the Taishang Xuanyuan Deng Tower, broke into the Flower Calyx Tower and kidnapped the saint, and now he personally kidnapped the emperor. How could he do such a thing?
He cannot pardon any legal provisions of any dynasty.
Since coming to the Tang Dynasty, he has never met someone who has such close views on the three aspects of his life. Although this person has a darker psychology because he was not recognized for his talent, this darkness is very similar to the anxiety of modern people. His loyalty is not to
The emperor, but for this world and the millions of people of the Tang Dynasty.
If we insist on keeping Xu Bin alive, we have to risk beheading to hide him, and even have to send him all the way along the trade route. He cannot be sent to the small subordinate states around Qixi. These small countries have few people.
Once the king knew Xu Bin's identity, he would definitely tie him up as a gift and send him back to Chang'an in order to please the Emperor of Tang Dynasty.
If you want to send him away, you have to send him to the country of India to save his life.
Xu Bin was still talking: "... He Fu hates Li Linfu, it's so easy to take advantage of. Originally, I wanted to get rid of Li Linfu first, but I didn't expect that the sage asked the prince to supervise the Jing'an Division and track down the Wolf Guard. In this way, the prince and
Even Superintendent He can't escape his involvement. Fortunately, Li Linfu is afraid of death, and this fear shows his flaws. Didn't you see that today he used the assassination as an excuse to obstruct the Jing'an Department from handling the case, and even colluded with hundreds of officials and courtiers to frame the prince."
"What about Xiaogui?" Zhang Xiaojing's heart was cooling down, and even his tone became desperate.
"Xiao Gui, he thinks very highly of himself. He always thinks that he can do justice for heaven. With just a little encouragement, he can move forward without any regrets and is easy to deal with. As for Li Bi, he is indeed smart, but his biggest weakness is his love of emotions.
, he actually still has feelings for the prince as a friend. I only need to hint to him that the prince is probably behind the scenes, and he is afraid of doing anything, miserable and difficult to make a decision. There is also the prince, who is suspicious of someone with high interests, so he will
He was frightened to death. He was so busy trying to clear his name in front of the saint today that he had no time to do anything."
He turned to look at Zhang Xiaojing: "How about it, you should believe me in this!"
Zhang Xiaojing roared in despair: "Then why did you let me out!"
Xu Bin cried and shouted: "I want you to live! Zhang Xiaojing, you are different from the people I know. I want you to live and watch Chang'an get better and better! You, a bad handsome man in Chang'an, are better than me in the household department."
A junior official of the eighth grade should be more miserable and tired, and also have no hope of promotion..."
"There is no hope of promotion," Li Siye stood sideways on the opposite side, reciting these four words silently. Class consolidation was the biggest problem in this seemingly prosperous age. The situation of Taizong and Gaozong's eclectic recruitment of talents disappeared. In the early years of Kaiyuan, the rectification
With the administration of officials, the situation of Hongwen Hall attracting talents from all over the world disappeared. Even he, the garrison envoy of Shule and Khotan who had been promoted to the fourth rank, deliberately reduced his merit rewards because some people were afraid that a Han man would become a general and become the prime minister of the court.
, so that he had to put aside his dignity to curry favor with the Yang sisters, not to mention these frustrated foreign officials and petty officials.
Xu Bin's voice became more intense and full of sorrow: "Zhang Xiaojing, what a pity. With your ability, you should be a general who responds to every call. You should have raised your arms and inspired everyone, and wiped out the enemies of our Tang Dynasty."
, Bao Changan will live in peace for many generations! But as for you, you are only willing to be a bad handsome man who catches thieves and thieves. I don’t accept it, and I don’t accept it for you!"
"Come, kill me! You are the one who saved me!" Xu Bin stretched out his hands and held the torch with one hand.
Zhang Xiaojing lowered his head. He must be ashamed to see his old friends.
Li Siye sensed that the opportunity had come, but Dai Wang suddenly rushed out from the side, grabbed the torch in Xu Bin's hand, and threw it towards the opposite corner.
There was a pile of waste paper piled in the corner, and it suddenly burst into flames. Xu Bin was about to throw himself into the fire. After all, Dai Laizi was so strong that he dragged him and rolled him into the corridor on the other side.
.
"Let me go! You thief! You have no right to kill me! The credit for killing me belongs to Zhang Xiaojing!"
Li Siye and Zhang Xiaojing ran toward them, but Dai Wang locked Xu Bin's throat: "Don't move!"
Dai Wang held Xu Bin's throat and retreated into the partition, closed the door with both hands, and used a pole to hold the door against the side.
Xu Bin sneered and said: "I am a death row prisoner. I am the culprit behind the explosion of the headlight building. Who can you threaten with my life? I should have died a long time ago! Haha."
Dai Wang's eyes were as cold as ice, but there were blazing flames in them. He grabbed Xu Bin's collar and said, "Mr. Xu, what if I can let you live?"
"I have long been determined to die, and have ignored it for a long time. I have planned such a big case and have no desire to live! You said you can let me live, which is ridiculous!"
Dai Wang came close to his face and slapped his chest heavily with one hand: "Sir, what you just said touched my heart, *****, the bell-ringing eater, the hereditary eater, the land-based eater
Those who do not work are like maggots. They not only rely on us common people to work in the fields, but also rely on us good family members to serve as soldiers to protect them, but they in turn kill my father and brother, and rape my wife and daughter."
"I, Dai Wang, have been mediocre and incompetent all my life. When I was seventeen, I was seriously injured by a rich man in my hometown. In order to save me from being exiled, my father and brother lost everything and sent me to Qixi to be an athlete in the Long March. After twelve years in the army, I killed more than dozens of enemies.
However, due to various reasons, he failed to obtain meritorious service and returned to his hometown with only scars. However, he learned that his family was forced to kill by wealthy people in the county. He tried his best to avenge them, but the resentment in his heart still could not be calmed down, so he followed
Xiao Gui came to the capital to bomb Chang'an and kill the saint. Mr. Jin's words suddenly enlightened me and I no longer had any intention of living. It turns out that from ancient times to the present, the rich have many children, the poor have no heirs, and those who work hard in the fields starve to death and do nothing to produce.
He has a fat head and a fat intestine. How can there be such a truth in the world!"
"Sir, who can figure out such a cunning plan, is the greatest wise man in the world, and he should be alive. I know that General Li is eager for your talent. He is a good man and a good official. He will definitely be able to find a way to transport you out of Chang'an and make you happy."
Your talents and learning will not be wasted in vain. I want to be Xu Bin, even if it is a dead Xu Bin, even if it is turned into charcoal, it will be enough to scare the saints and other princes! I hope Xu Gong will succeed!"
After saying that, he bowed respectfully to Xu Bin!
Xu Bin's eyes popped out of his eyes, he was horrified and unbelievable, and a layer of darkness appeared on his face.
"From today on, you will be Dai Wang and I will be Xu Bin. Before that, we exchange clothes and armor, and I will also burn your face."
…
"Xu Bin!" Zhang Xiaojing pushed the door several times but did not push it open. Suddenly he heard a heart-rending scream coming from inside. Li Siye and Li Siye slammed into each other, smashing the square grid of the partition into pieces.
A man wearing armor and his face burned with grease was kicked out from the corner.
The man in the corner has already used the fire twister to ignite the fierce fire and thunder twister tied to his body!
Li Siye didn't care to identify who it was, and quickly dragged Dai Wang, whose face was eroded, out of the cubicle. There was also a raging fire outside. Zhang Xiaojing pulled the saint and rushed out of the door, turning around and shouting: "This way!"
Since Li Siye couldn't show his true face, he had no choice but to drag Dai Wang into the tunnel. He jumped down the tunnel, covered it with a wooden cover, and dragged him forward. The explosion above his head had already rumbled, and the fire wave shattered the entrance.
The thin wooden board and the scorching air waves pushed the two of them and threw them to the ground. The secret passage behind them was crackling and collapsing amidst the explosion.
