The question is over.

From the moment Sun Mo was speechless by Su Shen's refutation, Lin Wenjun knew that he couldn't defeat Su Shen. Although he could still use the matter of the Sanyang Elixir to continue to ask Su Shen, he knew that Su Shen could easily push the matter out.

There are witnesses who can be pushed clean by him, not to mention the lack of witnesses?

In fact, it doesn't matter how good Su Shen's mouth is, what matters is how many people are supporting him in the Golden Fortress.

In a real system of power, truth and justice are sometimes the least important, the most important thing is the power, the supporters.

As a hero who saved the Tianwei Army, Su Shen was deeply thanked, grateful and supported by most of the generals in the Liujin Fortress, so not to mention that Su Shen defeated Sun Mo easily, even if he couldn't refute Sun Mo, the generals would protect him. On the contrary, if there is no such support, even if Su Shen says that the sky is falling, if everyone wants him to die, then it doesn't matter if there is Sun Mo or not, everyone can make him finish with any excuse.

Here, axioms, justice, truth, and clever rhetoric are not without effect, but their role determines the consumption of favor and merit.

If Su Shen was speechless by Sun Mo's correction, then Su Shen would still get away with it, but this belonged to the generals who jointly protected him, which was equivalent to using his fame to save the Tianwei Army in exchange for offsetting the punishment of collusion with the Palace of Eternal Life, and owed a bunch of generals' personal debts.

On the contrary, Sun Mo was refuted, Su Shen proved himself innocent, the credit will not be offset, and the personal debt will be weakened to the lowest level, at best, it is a "thank you for impartially enforcing the law".

Thus, justice here determines the cost, not the outcome, which is determined by the relationship of power.

This may be the limitation and tragedy of judicial adjudication in this era – perhaps not only in this era.

But for Lin Wenjun, it's nothing.

His original purpose was not to dispose of Su Shen.

Although Lin Wenjun was very dissatisfied with Su Shen's rescue of Tianwei Army and invisibly slapped him in the face, he did all this today not because of this, but for a more important reason.

————————————

It was late at night.

In the deputy marshal's mansion, Lin Wenjun stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky, as if thinking about something.

Qiu Qingzhi walked over: "Your Highness." ”

"Well, have you seen everything about today?" Lin Wenjun asked.

Qiu Qingzhi replied: "Yes, I have seen it clearly. The two military masters thought that Su Shen was guilty, three were neutral, five thought that Su Shen was not guilty, and more than half of the other officials supported Su Shen. His Highness's support in the Golden Fortress is far from enough. ”

Lin Wenjun snorted: "There is justice, there is no position, such a person, no matter how righteous he is, no matter how capable he is, what good will it do me?"

Qiu Qingzhi immediately said: "Your Highness, don't worry, Your Highness is in charge of the Liujin Fortress after all, it is still a short time, and it will take time to lay a solid foundation." ”

"I'm the crown prince, it's only natural that they are loyal to me, and they even want me to spend time and energy trying to win them over?" Lin Wenjun said fiercely.

Qiu Qingzhi sighed.

Lin Wenjun is not stupid, but like most princes, he inevitably has a sense of self-righteousness and thinks that the world should belong to him.

One of the very important purposes of interrogating Su Shen was to see how many supporters the Golden Fortress had.

Real henchmen, real supporters, will not care about such things as justice and justice, they will only have a position!

In Lin Wenjun's eyes, the generals of the Golden Fortress should have been naturally oriented towards him.

Unfortunately, this is not the case.

It can be seen from Su Shen's incident that at least more than half of the generals do not buy his account, and a quarter are wavering, and only less than a quarter of the generals insist on standing on Lin Wenjun's side.

Even so, it is questionable how many of these people are truly credible.

With such a result, Lin Wenjun was naturally very dissatisfied.

Fortunately, he was still sober, and after saying this, he said to himself: "Of course, I also know that I was in a bit of a hurry some time ago. ”

This can be regarded as an explanation of the Tianwei Army, which is tantamount to admitting mistakes in disguise.

It's a pity that this confession is not sincere, and it is only said to Qiu Qingzhi alone, so it is meaningless.

Qiu Qingzhi lowered his head, but he didn't hear it, and said, "Your Highness has the overall situation in mind and has done nothing wrong." ”

sighed in his heart, no wonder His Royal Highness is self-righteous, surrounded by people like himself who sing praises of virtue, even if the prince says that he is wrong, he has to say that he is right, so growing up for decades, if there is no arrogance and conceit, it is a strange thing. It's a pity that if he wants him to say that the prince did something wrong, he will resolutely refuse. Those who once thought they could wake up the prince and teach him to be a man ended up being dry bones on the side of the road.

Lin Wenjun is very satisfied with Qiu Qingzhi's statement, when he humbly said that he did something wrong, what he needed most was not for the other party to say "yes, you were wrong", but "No, you are not wrong, you are also ...... for a greater goal".

Qiu Qingzhi has done a good job, so he can always be by his side.

Lin Wenjun has already said: "What do you think of Su Shen?"

Qiu Qingzhi thought for a while and replied, "It's not easy to rescue the Tianwei Army. ”

knew that Lin Wenjun didn't like Su Shen, but Qiu Qingzhi couldn't say that Su Shen was a weak chicken, so he could only use Tianwei Army as proof.

It's not easy to talk to the boss, you have to think about every word.

Lin Wenjun sighed: "He is indeed a powerful person, just like his teacher, he is a trouble." But for the sake of the peace of mind of those guys in China, I still have to deal with this trouble. ”

Lin Wenjun felt that he was very bitter.

Obviously, as the crown prince, he wants to curry favor with others, to curry favor with a group of nobles in the country, and gain their support, so he has to deal with Shi Kaihuang, and the result is to offend a large number of generals in the Liujin Fortress. It's just that Shi Kaihuang didn't die, Tianwei Jun came back, he was slapped in the face, not to mention being a wicked person, and he didn't have to be complained about by the big nobles in the country.

How can Lin Wenjun not feel aggrieved?

Now that Shi Kaihuang is back, Su Shen is also back, and the pressure on Lin Wenjun has also increased suddenly.

Now he has to deal not only with Shi Kaifa, but also with Su Shen.

Because of the news from China, the hemolytic totem was invented by Su Shen, and in the future, the impact shaking light method may also appear from Su Shen's hands.

The great nobles did not want this to happen, so they could only continue to entrust him with the handling of the matter.

Damn, if it weren't for his damn third brother who repeatedly put huge pressure on him, how could his dignified prince work for that group of nobles?

Countless thoughts flashed through Lin Wenjun's mind, his heart was so irritable that he died, and his face gradually became difficult to look at.

Qiu Qingzhi saw that Lin Wenjun was in a bad mood, and hurriedly said, "Maybe you can try to win him over?"

Lin Wenjun shook his head: "Do you know how much money he made selling the Impact Boiling Blood Method and the Impact Kaiyang Method? Hundreds of millions of source stones! The reason why he was able to save the Tianwei Army was because he was richer than the royal family! You asked me to tell him, boy, if you invented the bloodless impact shaking light method, don't announce it, we will give you enough benefits." How much should I give? How much can I give?"

Qiu Qingzhi was dumbfounded.

Shi Kaihuang doesn't need money at all, just look at how he completely handed over his invention to his disciples, but Su Shen is too rich.

The common denominator of not wanting money and being too rich is that you can't buy it.

At least you can't buy it with money.

This is also the reason why Lin Wenjun wanted to directly harm the stone in the first place.

It's not that I haven't thought about soft knives, but it doesn't make sense for Shi Kaihuang.

If money can't buy it, you can only use your life.

So in the end, there is still an option to use coercion.

The only question is, with what coercion.

Force?

Power?

Lin Wenjun paced repeatedly, thought for a while, and said: "Su Shen's merits are too heavy, and forcibly suppressing them will only cause dissatisfaction. ”

Qiu Qingzhi carefully worded the wrong sentence: "If it is done secretly, His Highness's meaning will be ......"

If it is to use assassination and other means to deal with Su Shen, there is no need to use the respect of the crown prince, and the nobles can solve it themselves.

Lin Wenjun can choose this way, but it also undoubtedly means that he is powerless in power control. Therefore, the use of assassination by those in power is in itself a failure.

From this point of view, even if Lin Wenjun succeeds in assassinating Su Shen, it is a failure.

Political defeat.

Listening to Qiu Qingzhi's reminder, Lin Wenjun also felt a little headache.

He asked, "This Su Shen is really hard to start." ”

Qiu Qingzhi replied: "Actually, to make a person bow his head, it is not only money and life, some things that seem unimportant to us may be important to others. ”

"Hmm, what do you mean by that?" Lin Wenjun asked.

Qiu Qingzhi said: "Has His Highness ever thought of using the people around him?"

Lin Wenjun immediately shook his head: "The people around him are useless." He and the Linbei Su family have long since fallen out, and now the two sides are strangers. The only thing he still cares about is his mother, but she has been secretly picked up by him, and no one knows where it is now...... This guy was prepared. ”

Qiu Qingzhi immediately said: "When I say the people around me, I don't mean them. ”

"Don't you mean them?" Lin Wenjun was stunned: "Who does that refer to?"

"Tianwei Army. ”

"Tianwei Army?" Lin Wenjun was stunned.

The old Tianwei Army has been broken up by Lin Wenjun, and the newly built Tianwei Army no longer has many old people, so Lin Wenjun was also stunned for a while, and then he realized that Qiu Qingzhi was referring to the old Tianwei Army.

Qiu Qingzhi said: "Yes, it's them." The Tianwei Army was rescued by Su Shen, and they established a deep relationship with Su Shen, which can also be seen from what they said when they came back before. The relationship is two-way, those Tianwei veterans are grateful to Su Shen, and Su Shen must also attach great importance to the friendship with them. If they have a hard time......"

Lin Wenjun understood: "But it's not easy to deal with these people when they are united." ”

"That's why I suggested to Your Highness that you break them up in the first place. The scattered Tianwei army will not be difficult to deal with one by one. We don't need to attack all the Tianwei veterans, just a part is enough to force Su Shen to bow his head. ”()
