After discussing the countermeasures with Shangguan Yinling, Gong Chengqi wrote a short letter, and at the agreed time with Bai Shangshu, he left Taixue to meet with the family in Bai Shangshu's mansion from the corner of the alley, and handed over the letter to the family.

Jiading took the letter, hurried back to Shangshu's mansion, entered the study, and handed the letter to Bai Shangshu.

After reading the contents of the letter, a smile gradually appeared on Bai Shangshu's face.

As he expected. It's hard to resist the attraction of hatred in this world.

If people in this world can resist the temptation of money power, even women. He can already be called a very determined person. However, even if a person has the strength to kill his parents, the family feud of killing his parents can be easily let go. Either that person is a very heartless person. Either this person is a very affectionate person.

In the vast world, they are just one of many living beings. If Gong Chengqi is an extremely good person, he can make himself born in danger for the safety of the people and the stability of the world. But he couldn't. The innocence of his deceased parents is also involved. Although he is a pedantic man, he also has the most basic sense. He knew that if he relied on the current emperor, it would be absolutely impossible to redress his parents' grievances.

Only this change of dynasty in the world can make his parents see the light of day again.

"As expected. That Gong Chengqi really agreed to cooperate with us. ”

"I expected this outcome for a long time." Bai Shangshu put down the letter and frowned slightly in contemplation. Now they have a most capable assistant. That is the only son of King Yi, and with his existence, they can take advantage of the events of the year to make a big fuss.

Publicize the evil deeds of the first emperor and the sins of the saint among the people, so that even if the saint wins the hearts of the people again, he will slowly lose the support of the people.

When the people completely lose trust in the emperor, it is time for them to do it.

At this moment, in the court, the case of smelting weapons has not yet been completely revealed, and another thing has happened that makes the emperor very headache.

The Hu people in the West have been making frequent moves recently, as if they want to take advantage of the civil strife in the situation between the two Koreas and the Central People's Republic of China. Take advantage of the chaos to carry out a series of actions at the border gate, and rob houses. Grab money and food.

The Holy One is having a headache over this matter.

"A few days ago, the old general of Zhenguo just said that he was sick and took leave, and now there are few rising stars in the court who can lead the troops to fight, and now the Hu people are menacing, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist by themselves with the strength of the border pass."

Prime Minister Shangguan was worried when he got the news recently, and he had always remembered the matter of King Yi and his wife in his heart, and the combination of the two things gave him a headache.

"How could you not know that there are far more Chinese officials in the court than military attachés in the court, and the calendar of the chief of the civil administration is written and folded, hoping that this can open up the election of military champions. I don't want to, but now in the chaoteng, everyone is still abandoning martial arts. Choosing a martial champion is all those who only have brute strength, and these people can join the army, but if they want to lead troops to fight, their ability is far from enough. ”

You must know that to be a general, you not only need to be strong in martial arts, but also need to have brains and strategy. Reading military books, understanding the art of war, and knowing how to mediate with the opposing commander on the battlefield, the confrontation between the two armies not only requires sufficient men and horses of the two sides to win, but also needs the commander's guidance in a good way. Know what the opponent's weaknesses are, know the opponent's arrangement, and know how to command the troops.

There are many of them. It's not just a matter of picking a martial champion. Now everyone in the Great Liang Dynasty is still literate, and the civil official position is squeezed out. There are more people and less porridge. The military attache position is the opposite, like today's young people, everyone is afraid to go into battle to kill the enemy, for fear of losing their lives. What's more, the treatment of military attaches is not good enough, and they often have to live in environments and dangerous places. Not only are the living conditions harsh, but they also have to be away from their families. If he is not careful, he may even lose his life, even if he intends to improve the general's salary and reward. There is no way to change the status quo of Shangwen's abandonment of martial arts.

If you want to fight against the Hu people now, the only solution is to choose one. A civil official with resourcefulness and strategy. Although he had no martial arts, he was well versed in the art of war. Able to lead the soldiers to charge. However, throughout the dynasty, there are only one or two civil officials with this ability, and it is really difficult to choose.

"Holy Lord, there is indeed no suitable military general who can lead the soldiers and horses to the west. You can only choose from among the civil servants. Prime Minister Shangguan sighed slightly. still reported his thoughts to the saint, "The saint, the minister is willing to serve as a military officer and lead many soldiers to fight against the Lakers." ”

"Shangguan Aiqing, you are now old, how can I let you go into battle to kill the enemy?"

"Back to the Holy One. It's not for you. The minister has a request, and I hope that the Holy One will grant it. ”

"Aiqing, please speak."

"Do you remember the death of His Royal Highness King Yi and his wife?"

Shengshang frowned slightly. How could he not remember this?

If it weren't for the fact that the first emperor was jealous of King Yi, and took advantage of the fireworks in the palace to pretend to be injured by the fireworks and take the opportunity to frame King Yi, he would not have known that his father was so suspicious and fickle. And intends to pass the throne to his royal brother. Taking advantage of his father's illness and recuperation, he encircled the ministers of the court and the central government, and revised his father's edict on the occasion of his father's funeral. Only then was he able to succeed the new emperor.

If it weren't for King Yi just asking him to prepare in advance, I am afraid that as early as when the new emperor ascended the throne, he and his mother would have been assassinated by the emperor's brother.

In this way, he should also thank King Yi.

It's just that he still doesn't understand why Prime Minister Shangguan suddenly mentioned the events of the year at this time.

"Of course I remember. It's just that why did the prime minister suddenly mention this matter? ”

"Holy Lord, about the events of that year, the minister has always felt guilty in his heart. If it weren't for the minister's failure to stop the first emperor in time, His Royal Highness King Yi and his wife would not have died in vain, and they are still charged with rebellion to this day. Recently, it must be because of the minister's advanced age. The minister often dreamed that His Royal Highness King Yi cried in the minister's dream, hoping that the minister could wash away his grievances for him, so the minister would invite himself to the front line today, and only hoped that the Holy Lord could sink the grievances for His Royal Highness King Yi. ”

Shangguan Prime Minister, every word is heartfelt, and the saint can't help but be moved, and sighs in a low voice.

"Actually, I also owe something to Uncle Wang, and I was not favored by my father when I was young. He was often bullied by his royal brother. If it weren't for Uncle Wang's constant protection of me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to grow up safely. Since Uncle Wang is burdened with trumped-up charges, I should also serve him as a clear witness. ”
