fake prince

Chapter 1328

Su Ziji said these words very calmly, but the content of what he said was really hard to calm down.

Every sentence is like thunder after another, blasting towards the person in the room one after another.

There was no thunder outside, but after Su Ziji finished speaking, there was a muffled thunder, and a gust of wind blew up. The wind blew the leaves around, and it seemed to disturb people's hearts.

Zhang Dai's face turned pale for a moment, then turned livid. He seemed to try his best to control himself. Under the flickering candlelight, his eyelids, which seemed somewhat obscure and loose, drooped down, covering his eyes at the moment.

But the trembling of the body and the uncontrollable red eyes have already exposed Zhang Dai's mood.

The room suddenly fell silent.

Su Ziji didn't speak any more, and Zhang Dai didn't speak either.

Zhang Dai was silent at the moment, he didn't know if he was speechless by Su Ziji's words, or because of the division between the ruler and his ministers, so far, he had no choice but to bow his head and plead guilty, or to defend fiercely.

If you choose neither, you cannot answer.

But no matter the former or the latter, Su Ziji looked outside through the screen window, but he didn't really care.

He came, but only because he wanted to.

Whether Zhang Dai listens is up to Zhang Dai, not himself.

Zhang Dai is indeed an upright official, but he is not regarded as a capable minister. He has done all kinds of land reclamation, persuading farmers, and planting mulberry, but they have little effect or even counterproductive effects.

Because this person does not understand economics and has no practical plan. Blindly cultivating land and persuading farmers to plant mulberry will only waste public funds and make people's livelihood difficult. What is bad is the overall situation.

This is when a corrupt official takes office, the sky is three feet high, and Zhang Dai is an official, the land is three feet thin.

The two elements of incorruptibility and stubbornness are too concentrated on one person, plus Zhang Dai is a person who does not rub the sand with his eyes and has a strong personality, and when he meets an old emperor who wants to use this courtier, all the elements are really complete .

If Zhang Dai doesn't leave, Su Ziji won't be surprised what will happen to him.

At this moment, the sound of disputes and shouts came from outside, and Su Ziji couldn't help but look out the window.

Already approaching the Baizhang mountain road, Wu Wei, who was surrounded by crowds, stood in front of the crowd, secretly protected by several people around him, and watched more people charge forward with cold eyes.

The people who guard Wu Committee are protecting him from accidents on the road.

This point, Wu Committee is well aware of, and the matter has come to this point, let alone dare to break it.

In the eyes of people other than these few people, Wu Wei was the one who led them to ask the imperial envoy for an explanation.

His every move is watched by pairs of eyes.

Committee Wu could only shout at the gestures of the people around him: "Everyone, don't be afraid. We are many and reasonable. They dare not do anything to us. We just want to ask for an explanation!"

When others heard it, they shouted.

"Yes, we just want to ask for an explanation!"

"My family died in battle for the court, why isn't the pension granted?"

"Poor my sister-in-law, she lived on these two pensions. She broke down and fainted from hunger!"

"Although my family didn't die in battle, they also followed the Taizu to become disabled, but they fell into nothingness!"

"The imperial envoy is inside! Let's go! Ask him for an explanation! We can't just let it go! They have many people, and we have more people! If they dare to attack us, we will fight them!"

"The man is inside! Don't let him get away!"

"I have to ask him for an explanation today!"

"Everyone, don't be afraid! We have so many people, if we are capable, we will kill us all!"

On the mountain road, not everyone has the courage to go forward. People are afraid of officials for thousands of years. When they come here and see soldiers with sharp swords and spears, some people are afraid.

But seeing this, someone immediately raised his arms and yelled, hitting the sore spot with every sentence. Under the influence of this atmosphere, the head of the person who had a little regret at first became hot and roared angrily.

Someone took the lead, and everyone around roared together, and the voices of countless people yelled, not only strengthened their own courage, but also made the faces of the soldiers who blocked them change greatly, and couldn't help but want to retreat.

However, the imperial envoy is right behind, if they retreat, if these people really let these people rush in, if something happens to the imperial envoy, what good will they have?

Can't go back!

I dare not retreat!

"Don't be impulsive, don't pull the bow!" The hundreds of households in front of the battle are sweating. I have seen this situation once. It was not long after the founding of the country, and production had not resumed. There was a famine, and the government had not had time to provide compensation. Rice shop.

When the leader was killed, the hundred households were only officials and soldiers, and tens of thousands of people watched silently. The situation at that time was like a red-hot oil pan. Once sparks fell, it would explode.

Even the special officials did not dare to add fuel to the flames, and went over to offer a toast to a bowl of wine before executing the execution.

Now, almost the same situation is encountered again, and Baihu knows well that the current suppression will either disperse the people as soon as they are beaten, or immediately explode, leading to civil uprisings.

Baihu couldn't bear 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 the people rushing over with torches more confident.

There is a way and the law does not blame the public.

If one or two people, or even a dozen or dozens of people commit the serious crime of beating or killing officials, they will definitely be sentenced to death, and their homes may even be ransacked.

But once the number of people is tens of thousands, it is like ants gathering tens of thousands. If there are too many, they can kill an elephant.

Regardless of whether the people who do this are ordinary people or scholars with fame, if the number of people gathers to a certain number, it is an extremely terrifying civil uprising. Their rush can make all laws invalid in an instant.

In truth, suppression is not difficult.

But this is not a traitor, let alone an enemy soldier, but the family of the war dead, a scholar for righteousness, and a commoner who is begging for relief and rations.

Not long after the founding of the country, a civil uprising occurred. Who can take responsibility?
Su Ziji stared quietly into the distance, his pupils narrowed with a cold light.

"The emperor's plan is too vicious!"

"It's also a little too irresponsible."

"If you open this hole, it will be very unfavorable to the country!"

In such a situation, as long as the first person has the determination to die, then this move is almost a lore.

Once this thing is done, it is basically hard to stop.

Whoever stands in the way is like a mantis holding a car, and is bound to be run over and crushed by the car.

Who is not afraid of being smashed to pieces?
Su Ziji's eyes shifted back 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 him doesn't seem to be afraid.

The rain outside was heavy and the sky was gloomy. The whole mountain was originally lifeless, but it was awakened by a winding fire dragon.

Anyone who is trapped in this huge cage is waiting for a terrible catastrophe.

Very early on, Su Ziji understood the truth that his hero is my enemy, and my hero is his enemy—the more heroic and loyal the minister, the more he should be killed.

But this is the case, and it is really faced today.

Not to mention that Zhang Dai was an upright official with little talent, he was clean, honest and talented. Su Ziji wanted to kill him quickly.
