Su Taiwei praised the good words, but in fact, there was a deep meaning.

He knew that at this time, the more the court retreated, the more it showed generous favor and trust to the Cangzhao family, and the more the Cangzhao family would not end well in the end.

Death-free gold medal?

Hmph, what's the use of that?

Since Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, founded this thing, when did it really play a role in preventing death?

The more death is avoided, the more jealous the court is of this family, and the more dangerous this family is.

Although this dynasty attaches great importance to the honorable people, is extraordinarily lenient in governance, and extraordinarily forgives the convicted officials, it is still extremely cruel when it should be ruthless.

This is the true nature of politics. No one family can get rid of this when they are emperors, otherwise their family is not worthy of being emperors, and they will not be able to sit firmly in that position.

The royal family of this dynasty is merciful enough to the Chai family who lost the throne of the country, not only did not cut the grass and eradicate the roots as in the previous dynasties, but gave additional protection, and gave the Danshu iron scroll to protect his family, and it is still valid until now, it really has the effect of avoiding death, so that the descendants of the Chai family can continue to this day leisurely and steadily, and can come forward to represent the world's merchant creditors to Zhao Gonglian Such a big man, proving that the royal family of this dynasty is trustworthy and generous, but this does not mean that Cangzhao can also do the same.

If Cangzhao gets a brand similar to the Chai family this time, it means that the emperor may really have a little forgiveness, and he may really give Cangzhao Manmen a little vitality, but now he is giving a real gold medal, and it is super expensive and overweight, but the more precious and solemn, the more it proves how determined the emperor is to kill Cangzhao Manmen, and the more it proves that the court will not let go of the continuation of the blood of the Cangzhao family.

Humility benefits, full of losses, this sentence is not a casual saying.

The heavenly way Dali, where the moon rises and falls, has already explained everything to the people of the world.

The staff is also a wise and knowledgeable person, although he is not an official, but he also sees the doorway of officialdom very clearly and deeply.

He heard that there was something in Taiwei Su's words, which was to praise and secretly ridicule the Cangzhao family, whose ability and courage were too prominent, and that they were extremely smart but had no great wisdom and would inevitably lead to a tragic ending.

He also touched his beard and smiled, and sighed: "This family is indeed a strange family that may not be met once in a thousand years, but unfortunately the background is too shallow, and the grass people who have been nesting in the border countryside for generations have not been able to come out, so they have not been able to accumulate the know-how of being an official and the ways that courtiers must guard against in order to protect themselves." Pity! Lamentable! Alas!

Listening to the staff's blunt evaluation, Taiwei Su squinted his eyes, and subconsciously touched his beard and didn't know what to think, but his expression was solemn, and finally he sighed.

He is not a bad guy as an official, even if he is tossed a lot this time, he only admires Zhao Gonglian, has no complaints, and even has only one word of obedience.

After all, he has a bottom line of conscience, and he has been an official for so many years, and he has always tried to adhere to the gentleman's temperament that scholars pay attention to, and he also understands Zhao Gonglian's difficulties.

In other words, he is afraid that he will behave more fiercely and excessively than Zhao Gonglian, how can he still pay attention to the righteousness that has already been repaid clearly in the past and maintain restraint and give courtesy.

But no matter how much conscience he has, no matter how much he pays attention to the virtue of a gentleman, and how sympathetic Zhao Gonglian is, he will not say it if he sees through it.

He will never reveal the insidiousness and murderous intent hidden in the extreme grace shown by the emperor.

The point was broken, which frightened the Zhao family, and even provoked the family to be even more resentful, so his mission to persuade Zhao Gonglian to go out of the mountain was messed up. That's where his trouble came.

On the other hand, he would never give a kind reminder.

This official is the same as cultivating immortals, paying the most attention to comprehension and paying the most attention to merit and creation.

What determines the achievements of officialdom is not the character and ability of officials, similar to the achievements of cultivating immortals, not by being the most able to fight and kill.

You are in the officialdom but you don't have enough understanding, you can't understand the dangers and mysteries, you don't have enough skills, you can't catch the taboos that must be avoided, you can't master the tricks, you can't participate in the creation, you can't avoid the evil, you can't cultivate the positive fruit and can't fly to the realm of the fairy world, then the end is only ashes, but you can't blame others.

Officialdom pays the most attention to the unity of qi and branches, that is, the most attention to the factional network, but in the final analysis, it is only a personal blessing and a personal responsibility, and it is all in personal creation.

You have to sit as a high-ranking official, you have great power, and when the spring breeze is proud, you will naturally be respected, pursued and cared for.

If you are in trouble, you will naturally be alone, and no one will really give up their place to save you.

Zhao Gonglian is extremely intelligent and has amazing ability, but he can't see through the officialdom, he can't see through the emperor's intentions, and he can only blame himself for the destruction of the clan in exchange for a bloody struggle.

This is also fate.

Since ancient times, it is better to be able than to be blessed, and it is better to have a good life than to have a genius ability.

The life is not good, the death is miserable, the death is too unjust, you can't blame others for not being righteous enough, not paying attention to morality, and refusing to help you at the most critical point.

Su Yuanjing left without hesitation, and even walked a little at ease, and he had no guilt for persuading Zhao Gonglian to become an official again.

He sighed just for the treacherous prospect of the Great Song crumbling.

He really couldn't think of anyone else in this world who was really capable of turning the tide, reorganizing the Great Song Dynasty, and restoring prosperity and tranquility.

He didn't dare to imagine what the dynasty would be like when the imperial court killed Zhao Gonglian, and the Great Song Dynasty lost this strong man who could crush the world with both ability and courage to save the world.

At the end of the day, he was worried about his uncertain future.

After all, if the nest on the big tree of the Great Song Dynasty is destroyed, how can the eggs of a bird like him who enjoy the benefits of the nest in the meantime have a good end.

The nest will be ruined, and the eggs will be broken.

Of course, sighing also has a little pity for Zhao Gonglian.

At the same time, in Zhaozhuang, the old grandmother patted the huge gold death-free brand at will, and mocked: "The emperor really put his heart into it this time and put a lot of effort into it!" “

Zhao Gonglian's face was still a little excited and tearful at this time.

He chuckled and said, "Acting is a full set." This emperor is still extremely intelligent. He's willing to put on a show. Let's cooperate with him to play satisfactorily. ”

Looking at the words "Death-free" on the gold plate, Zhao Gonglian smiled again: "The emperor knew that our family was in debt, but he gave such a big gold medal instead of gold, just because he wanted us to raise money to pay off the debts in a hurry, and we couldn't use it to cover the debt." We can only keep it honestly and wait for the final raid to return to the palace, and then he can use this thing to mock us well, trample our hearts more sadly and brokenly, and spit out more ruthlessly and resentfully. Then let's keep it as a historical relic and open the eyes of future generations. ”

The old grandmother also smiled, nodded slightly and sighed: "Speaking of which, Zhao Ji is not bad, he is just a frivolous and selfish child, he is smart and talented, knowledgeable and filial, unruly but not troublesome, in the final analysis, he is still an indifferent boy who is easy to provoke the elders to like or even spoil." It's a pity that he became the emperor, and the insidious and vicious came, and he became the most harmful, the most terrible and the most damned villain. ”

As the old grandmother spoke, her expression revealed some meaning, and she looked at her beloved eldest grandson, smiled and said lightly: "Power, tsk." ”

Zhao Gonglian's officialdom wisdom and agility today are far from comparable to those of the past, and he is very mature and spicy.

As soon as he heard his grandmother sigh this, he immediately understood his grandmother's thoughts, and his expression turned solemn: "Grandmother, grandchildren will not be confused by power. The eldest grandson you taught will always be the farmer of Zhaozhuang. I would never do anything cruel to my brother. Even if he is sorry for me one day, I will never kill each other. ”

The old grandmother hummed with satisfaction, but said, "Don't forget that this is the descendant of my Cangzhao family." ”

Zhao Gonglian also smiled: "Grandmother, you should have confidence in your grandson." ”

"Of course, grandma has confidence in her favorite baby."

The old grandmother smiled and said, "Grandma wants to remind you not only to love your brother, but also to remind you not to try to change the system that your brother has established and maintained after sitting in that position." The Emperor's power was greatly restricted, and he could no longer kill and take everything he wanted. The power of officials is restricted, and they can no longer be high above and do whatever they want to the people, and if they are bad, they can wantonly harm the common people. The people have the power to supervise the government, including the emperor, and if they are not satisfied, they can say no. These new things are not bad things, although they damage the emperor's words and majesty and some of the authority and decency of officials, but it can ensure the long-term stability of the country, the prosperity and strength of the country, the happiness of the people, and the prosperity of our children and grandchildren. ”

"Your brother said that many emperors are obviously smart and promising, but they have brought disaster to the country and the people, and the most important reason is that he is supreme, and nothing can restrain him. The result of self-esteem is that it is easy to inflate oneself, superstitious about power and destiny, become domineering, selfish and arrogant, and consciously or unconsciously fall into 'what will flood after I die', and be extremely extravagant, and act recklessly. Zhao Ji is the best and most vivid example in front of him. is only for him to enjoy himself, not to mention the scourge that destroyed the ancestors, but also exhausted all the blessings of the descendants of the entire family, and the scourge made the family lose even the right to live. It's an unforgivable bastard. We must not make this mistake. ”

"Grandma knows that it is useless to rely on family teaching, what ancestral system to admonish, to rely on good ministers to exhort and supervise, and to rely on self-restraint. He became the emperor, and his temperament made him a bastard, and when the time came, he would still be willful and willful for the sake of temporary happiness, and he would not repent when the disaster came, and even the knife frame on his neck felt that he had lived enough, and it was worth it when he died, and he would die without the slightest guilt and repentance. Only by strong institutional restraint can we effectively avoid the emergence of a loser and the great scourge that it will cause. ”

"The system created by your brother is a great cause that can benefit the world and our future generations. Grandson, you are a good boy, but you don't dare to do something that makes people laugh for thousands of years. If you do, your grandmother will be heartbroken. As long as the system of the new country is maintained and further strengthened in the hands of your generation, then it will form an inertia that no one can change in the future, and it will continue to evolve so normally. Our family, which is also the great cause you founded, will also be forever completed. ”

"Grandson, you also know that your brother will not compete with you for any political power. If you look at what he has done since he was a child and his personality, you can know what kind of person he is and what he cares about most. He fulfills your political ambitions, and he can fulfill the dreams he cares about. A family has only two descendants, but one is the first emperor of the ages who is as wise and wise as the world, and the other is the king of wisdom who is wise and divine. How lucky and blessed must this be? ”

"Grandma, every time I think of this, I am so happy that I can't help laughing in my dreams. I look forward to the glorious reflection of your little brothers, showing off the world, the infinite glory when you are alive, and the glory behind you is incomparable, so that people thousands of years later will be very excited and admire when they read your deeds, and be proud of having ancestors like you. ”

The grandmother thinks deeply, sees far, and exhorts very artistically, not an offensive tough preaching and forced demand.

Zhao Gonglian was awe-inspiringly taught.

The grandmother also knows the temperament of the eldest grandson, so she is also very confident in her favorite eldest grandson.

The people of the Cangzhao family always do what they say.

This is a very rare style and image.

But the old grandmother still has to say more about this opportunity, and explain it thoroughly, so that the beloved eldest grandson can understand more and persevere, perseverance, and avoid that in case.

If her favorite grandson finally becomes the scourge of the country and the nation, and the greatest shame of the Cangzhao family, then she will die and her soul will be heartbroken underground.

"Grandma's heart and lungs baby, have you ever lamented that our family has been in danger for hundreds of years? Anything strange? ”

Zhao Gonglian was stunned and shook his head.

He really never thought about it.

Since he was a child, his family has always said this, and Zhuang Shang has always said this, and he has naturally taken it as a concept of historical facts, and when he grows up, Zhuang Shang said so to the outside world, and the society also thinks so, and even the imperial court has such an impression, no one really pays attention to Cangzhao's past, how can he use his brain to ponder this.

The old lady sighed softly and said, "I knew you wouldn't think about this." This is also normal. In fact, it is up to your father to explain to you clearly when you are mature and stable and can understand things better. Today, my grandmother will tell you the secret. ”

"It's no secret. There is a very simple truth. Although the world is so big, there are no wonders, but a family can open up a small world of survival and reproduction that is almost independent for a long time in the troubled times, especially in the wild and remote place of Cangzhou, which is close to the northern barbarians, then this family must have enough population and enough people to prosper to do it, and it can survive until today. ”

"Child, it's never like our family can't give birth to enough men. That aspect has never been a problem. ”

"You look at your generation to understand. Your mother gave birth to three sons, but the real second child died in infancy. Your own bunch of sons is even more proof. ”

Zhao Gonglian nodded.

"Death is one of the reasons why our family is thin. Another reason, you must have thought of now. ”

"Grandmother, do you want to tell the child that the root cause of our family's single inheritance is actually war?"

"yes!"

The old grandmother let out a long sigh.

"Our family has actually had three or two males from generation to generation, except for your father's generation, but the main thing is that they were all killed and lost in the battle against thieves and Liaokou for a year. The one that passes in a single pass is the one that is the smallest, the one that can't go into battle, or the one that has the biggest hit. Your grandfather is the youngest one who has been deliberately preserved. ”

"At the beginning, our Cangzhao was a big family, and there were dozens of uncles and brothers from far and near, but they were exhausted by hundreds of years of war, and they became what they are now."

"It's really not easy for our family to survive in the bloodline, but we're lucky enough. I don't know how many thriving families at the border pass have long become smoke clouds in the flames of war. ”

"What grandma wants to tell you is that the survival of our family or our Zhaozhuang is the result of generations of blood, and it depends on the close unity of blood relatives. Your grandfather was also a good man back then, although he was young, he could kill the thief Wei Zhuang still fought bravely, and was not allowed to go to the battlefield, he secretly went to the village wall to kill the enemy. His life was actually bought in a battle by his brother who fought for his life to defend against arrows. When your grandfather was alive, he lamented the past to his family. This is how we sacrifice our lives to protect each other from generation to generation, and the real secret and rare thing is that there is no real seed. It may not be in tune at ordinary times, but it will always become red-eyed and courageous at critical moments. ”

"Why does grandma say that your brother's birth is an auspicious baby who broke our family's fate? Why is it so emphasized to the outside world that the imperial court is so well known? ”

The old grandmother clapped her hands a little excitedly when she said this: "It is only because of your brother that our family has fundamentally reversed the hundred-year-old embarrassment of always relying on our family to personally lead and fight with Zhuang Ding to survive." With your brother, the battle in Weizhuang is as easy as a game, even the harvest season. I'm not afraid that thieves or robbers will come to fight, but I'm afraid that they won't dare to come. From now on, your father no longer has to risk his life to fight every year. The women of Manzhuang no longer have to carry a man on the city wall with arrows like rain to help the men stop the enemy. You don't have to be like the young owners of the previous generations, no matter how young you are, you have to behave bravely and fearlessly, dare to take risks for the banker, and prove that you are a qualified heir. Our family became rich and powerful in a blink of an eye, and it was so powerful that it was invincible, and the man's life was truly guaranteed, and the root cause of the single transmission was truly broken. ”

'Honesty, you have to love your brother. He is a bit of a two-pole temperament, acting quickly and efficiently, rigid and serious about the things he cares about, indifferent to other people and things, and even treating human life as a mustard, appearing blunt and fierce, ruthless, arrogant, and often unkind, he is not the kind of cute child in the eyes of ordinary people, and even he is not a cute and likable person that ordinary people can accept. But he is the real precious treasure of our family, the most precious gift and the most powerful but harmless arm that God has given you to achieve great causes, and it is also the blessing of our nation. Your father has long been enough to be a king, and he doesn't like to be a king and be bound by that. You're going to take over soon, if you see through this deeply, take good care of your brother. Then, the prosperity and happiness of our nation will be unshakable. ”
