Chapter 650: Stern refusal
Sun Tu looked at Qin Chi who was talking endlessly in front of him with a smile, and said slowly: "Oh? But I don't know who is light and who is dark in your eyes? ”
"Emperor Song was deaf and traitorous, but he let a pillar of the country like General Sun suffer injustice, which is naturally dark. As for this Ming ......" Qin Chi said, turned around and pointed to the south: "Now that the state of Wu has been established, just when it is prosperous, Your Majesty Shengming, assisted by the sages, is a good opportunity for the heroes of the world to return to their hearts and create a great cause." With General Sun's generals, he is wise, and if he can be obedient, he will definitely do a lot, this is clear! I wonder what General Sun thinks? ”
As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers inside and outside the hall changed color, especially Yue Fei, who was standing behind Sun Tu, his eyes were wide open, and his hands were clenched on the hilt of the knife, as long as Sun Tu gave an order, he would kill the thief with a knife. As a young man who was raised by his mother to serve the country loyally, and has been a loyal minister for a lifetime, Yue Fei, a young man whose goal is to serve the Great Song Dynasty for the rest of his life, is naturally impossible to accept such arrogant words.
But Sun Tu's reaction surprised him, because he neither got angry nor refuted the meaning of the other party's remarks, he just stared at Qin Chi for a long time before he smiled: "After talking for a long time, this official only knew that you came from the south, so you are Fang La's subordinate and was ordered to come as a lobbyist?" ”
"General Sun really has good eyesight, and he really can't hide it, and now he is the squire of the Wu Guoli Department, and the official is in the third grade!" As he spoke, Qin Chi straightened his chest slightly: "To be honest, it was just an ordinary act before I went down, but I was appreciated by Your Majesty, so I was tired of being an official to the position of a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, which shows the attitude of Your Majesty and my Wu Kingdom to seek talents." And with the talent of General Sun, as long as he can return to my Wu State, isn't the secretary of the military department and the privy envoy still handy? General Sun, people go to high places, and good ministers choose the master to do things, and you naturally have to know the truth better than below. ”
After a pause, he took another step forward: "Also, where did the dangerous situation of being hostile and criticized by countless people come from, and it is not because Song Ting has always been wary of military generals?" If you don't give up the darkness and turn to the light at this time, even if you can really turn the danger into a disaster this time, it will be difficult to ensure that one day you will not be killed by those traitors in the court!
"General Sun, you should have heard of Di Qing Di Wuxiang's exploits back then, right? With his contribution to the Great Song Dynasty, any court will be awarded a marquis and a reward. But how did Song Ting treat him? Although he was given the post of privy councilor, he had no real power to speak of, and even later refused to fight with him, and allowed ignorant scholars like Han Qi who only knew how to talk on paper to override him, humiliate him in every way, and eventually led to Di Wuxiang's depressed death. Do you want to repeat the mistakes of the past, General Sun, and end up in a dismal end?
"In comparison, my Wu country is very different, Your Majesty has always used people without doubt, and rewarded meritorious deeds, so that such as General Pang and General Fang, such as General Pang and General Fang, have been constantly emerging, and they can master half of the south of the Yangtze River in just two years. General Sun, can't you tell the difference between the gains and losses? ”
This person really has a good eloquence, although it is not as good as Su Qin Zhang Yi who crisscrossed the Seven Kingdoms in ancient times, but he is also quite convincing, and after saying something, it actually made many pro-soldiers inside and outside the hall have a thoughtful look on their faces.
As Sun Tu's cronies, they naturally know very well what their generals have experienced over the years, and those famous swords and dark arrows from officials in the DPRK and China seem to have been easily resolved by him, but the danger still makes people feel chills in their hearts when they think about it afterwards, and it also makes them complain a lot about those important ministers of the DPRK who connived at the civil officials to suppress their own affairs, and even the emperor of the dynasty.
It's just that this kind of emotion has been buried deep in their hearts in the past, and they may not even be able to detect it. But now, with Qin Chi completely picking up his words, the resentment accumulated over the years can no longer be hidden.
Yue Fei was also immediately aware of this, which made him quite anxious, and endured it for a while, but seeing that Sun Tu was silent, his heart was even more anxious. At the moment, he didn't care about any rules and military law, and immediately shouted: "Boldly anti-thief, dare to talk nonsense about the government and politics, and use words to confuse the army's heart, it is really bold!" My Great Song Dynasty is the Central Plains Zhengshuo, how can you slander it at will? ”
As he spoke, he walked out quickly from behind Sun Tu, came to him, knelt on one knee, bowed his head and said loudly: "Ruler, this person's intentions are sinister and disturb the hearts of our army, it is really a crime that cannot be punished, please quickly order him to be beheaded, so as to determine the heart of the army and know the right way!" ”
Sun Tu was a little stunned and looked at Yue Fei, who was so angry in front of him that he shouted and shouted at Qin Chi to kill, and he was about to think that he was dazzled and wrong. Because in the past relationship, Yue Fei can always show a steadiness and atmosphere far beyond his real age, even if he encounters a big problem, he can maintain absolute calm.
But now, his face is flushed, his chest rises and falls, which is obviously a sign of anger.
But soon, Sun Tu understood again, obviously this was Qin Chi's statement that touched Yue Fei's bottom line. As a person who carved the idea of loyalty into his bone marrow, Yue Fei would never allow anyone to speak ill of the Great Song Dynasty in front of him. This may be the biggest weakness and backlash of this future Song Dynasty Zhongxing celebrity.
After being stunned, Sun Tu sighed again in his heart, Yue Fei, Yue Fei, do you know that although the other party's words are a bit extreme, they are also the truth. The Great Song Dynasty has indeed been suppressing the generals for a hundred years, and he can have today, but he has broken through from a series of conspiracies and calculations, and a sea of corpses and blood. Also, do you know that his words will be fulfilled to you in a few decades, and then you will become the general of the Great Song Dynasty who was unjustly killed by the traitorous ministers of the faint king......
Of course, these thoughts only flashed in Sun Tu's mind, and he didn't really say it. Although he recognized some of Qin Chi's remarks, it was impossible for him to really be moved by his words.
The Great Song Dynasty may have many problems, but it is always much stronger than this Fang La rebel army who relied on bewitching fools and foolish women, but had no long-term vision. What's more, he and the relatives of the officers and soldiers of the Shandong Army are still in Shandong, how can they disregard the safety of these people and join Fang La's command to fight for the tiger?
After exhaling a little turbid breath, Sun Tu got up and came to Yue Fei and helped him up: "Pengju, of course you understand the heart of the country, but there is a good saying, the two countries are at war and do not kill him, he is just a lobbyist, if you really kill him in anger, you will only try to make people laugh, and it will weaken our momentum." ”
"But......" Yue Fei finally calmed down when he heard this, but he still had resentment in his heart, but he didn't know what to say for a while.
And Sun Tu patted him on the shoulder again, and then said: "Actually, it's very simple to deal with someone like him, just refute him speechless." As he spoke, he looked at Qin Chi, who was frowning slightly: "Qin Chi, you said so much before, you just want to use my safety as a threat, so that I can ignore the interests of my family and country because of my own selfishness, right?" ”
"If General Sun really wants to be the foolish and loyal person who holds the defects, he can only let me say a word of regret." Qin Chi was fearless and looked directly at Sun Tudao.
"You are wrong, loyalty is loyalty, there is no difference between wisdom and loyalty and foolishness!" Sun Tu shook his head and said, "We are the generals who hold the military power and have the ability, what should we do?" is to protect the family and defend the country, and who should be loyal? In my opinion, it is not the court of the king, but the people of the world. It's just that the food in our mouths and the clothes on our bodies are made by the hard work of the people of the world, bit by bit, and by stitch and thread. So you say that I am stupid and loyal to the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, but it is wrong, I am loyal to the Great Song Dynasty and the people of this world! ”
As soon as these words came out, not only Qin Chi, but even Yue Fei and the surrounding soldiers were stunned. They really didn't think about this layer, in fact, many people didn't really think about who they were fighting for, everyone just relied on instinct and habit to obey their own generals.
And the impact of these words on Yue Fei was even greater, he always felt that there was something wrong with Sun Tu's statement, but he didn't know how to refute it for a while, so he could only half-open his mouth and stand still. He didn't even listen carefully to Sun Tu's words.
Sun Tu's words did not end there, but continued to say coldly: "Over the years, because of the perverse actions of Zhu Mian and other officials, and because of the existence of Hua Shigang, the people of Jiangnan have indeed suffered a lot, and it is natural for them to rise up, but this is not an excuse for ambitious people like you to try to subvert the world. Fang La and the others are not much nobler than those people in the court after all, are you really doing everything to save the people? I'm afraid it's really taking advantage of the hatred of the people to seek more benefits, right?
"As far as I know, every time you break a city, you kill all the rich and official families of the city, and take their possessions, but give only a small amount of food to the people. How dare you call yourself righteous in such an approach? It's hard to agree with.
"Also, you keep saying that you want to save the people of the world, but in fact you never think that your actions will bring far-reaching disasters to the people. Do you know that the Liao Kingdom in the north, the Xia Kingdom in the west, and the newly rising Jin people further north have been eyeing my Central Plains? Originally, if I had been united in the Great Song Dynasty, I would still be able to keep the border peaceful and not be invaded by foreign captives. But you are making such a big fuss in the south of the Yangtze River, but it will bring great trouble to the imperial court and give foreign enemies an opportunity to take advantage of it, and you still dare to talk about saving the people here? It's ridiculous!
"Although my Sun Tu is not talented, he has not degenerated to the point of being with you, even though the court has been unfair to me, even though the Jiangnan military and civilians have misunderstood me, but I believe that the Qing people will clear themselves, as long as they come up with the facts, everyone will naturally understand that I am innocent. So you don't have to use such arguments to trick me into lobbying me anymore, so please go back. ”
After saying this, coupled with the terrifying momentum revealed by Sun Tu's body, Qin Chi was completely suppressed in an instant, so that he couldn't even say half a sentence. After a while, he could only leave the place in a somewhat dejected state. And in his heart, he also had an exact judgment: "Sun Tu is really powerful, it seems that Taifu's evaluation of him is really good, this person is far more difficult to deal with than we imagined......"
