However, after a moment of silence, an imperial historian jumped out and played: "Your Majesty, this Zhao Nan not only lost Jiangnan Mansion in the hands of thieves, but it was already a serious crime not to be able to die at that time, he even worked for the thieves, and he has completely forgotten His Majesty's great grace, what is this kind of sinner still kept?" The lower official suggested that he should be convicted directly and then handed over to the Criminal Department for disposal. ”

The words of this imperial historian immediately aroused a lot of approval, especially Cai Jing Gao Yu Tong Guan Yang Jian and the people of their faction almost all agreed, Taiwei Su Yuanjing hurriedly made a look, and a speech official of their faction immediately came out and admonished: "Zhao Nan's crime is naturally there, but Nian can still turn himself in when he is still able to turn himself in, and at the same time bring back the information of the Liangshan strongman - he could have been with the thieves or secretly escaped, so I think he still has a bit of loyalty and patriotism, and the lower officials think that they can be dealt with lightly." ”

The previous Yushi sneered: "What are these words, it's not enough to help those thieves for a month, do you have to stay with the thieves to be considered a rebellion?" As for escaping, hmph, this world is not the king's land, where can he flee to? This kind of sin is simply an unforgivable sin that must be severely punished in order to set an example. ”

Immediately, the two factions began to argue, but it was obvious that Cai Jing and the people on their side had the upper hand, and there were originally fewer people from Su Taiwei's faction, plus many people also felt that Zhao Nan's crime was very big, why didn't he die if the city was broken? In this way, they can also be crowned as loyal ministers, not only will there be no loss to them, but also increase their reputation, and now Baba's rush back doesn't it smear their faces? So even their own faction has more than half of them who have not stood up to speak for him.

Zhao Nan's heart was half cold when he looked at it over there, to be honest, he was ready to die when he came back this time, but it was just for the belief of 'loyalty and patriotism' in his heart, he had expected that he would be attacked by a hostile faction when he came back, but what he didn't expect was the indifference of his own side, many people in it usually talked about loyalty with themselves, don't they understand that their choice to come back this time is a more difficult decision than a direct death? Is the so-called 'festival of death' in their minds something more important than the country's society and the people?

At this time, he finally understood, it turned out that his comrades-in-arms and colleagues were not much stronger than Cai Jing and their traitorous party, for them it was the most beneficial thing for them to die, he could even think of what they would be like if he didn't come back but died on the spot, and he must have cried bitterly and even applied for a nickname for himself, and then all kinds of sacrifices and nostalgia for his friendship, and many small things in his life will be brought up and written...

Then their own faction will naturally receive the praise of the saints, and their right to speak can also increase a lot, and they can raise a glass to celebrate the 'major victory' of this traitorous faction, and it will be more perfect to talk to a few famous prostitutes after drinking.

But what good is this for the imperial court? What good is it for the Holy One? What good will it do to the people? Could it be that this kind of trouble can save the people of those three prefectures? Oh, they're actually much happier now than they used to be, but it's better not to solve it.

For a while, Zhao Nan felt disheartened, the belief he had been pursuing before had collapsed in just an instant, and he even felt that his choice this time was so stupid, it was better to sentence himself to a decisive decision quickly.

At this time, before leaving, Du Jia's meaningful words to him suddenly sounded in his mind - "It is simple to report to the king if you die lightly, and it is the most difficult to endure humiliation and survive in order to be able to do another career in the future." He couldn't help but tremble, and his whole mind became clear, could it be that Du Jia had expected this situation in the first place? Isn't he a human being but a god?

Of course, Du Jia is not an immortal, but his understanding of this kind of court politics is far above Zhao Nan, and after fighting with the old traitor for so long, combined with the explanations in many TV dramas and books in later generations, he has a deep understanding of these power tricks, and knows everything - everything is just for profit, and in this era, only Ming Jun can have good ministers and not the other way around, the history of five thousand years has proved all this countless times, Han Xin, Kou Zhun, Di Qing, Yue Fei, Bao Zheng, Yuan Chonghuan, Hong Chengchou and other important ministers have already made sufficient interpretations from both sides.

For a moment, Zhao Nan seemed to see a little light in the darkness, and found the value of his existence, that is, he tried every means to live, his previous self was too stupid, naïve and pedantic, this encounter made him feel like an initiation, and his understanding of officialdom and life suddenly improved to a new level.

This is the so-called epiphany of Buddhism, of course, this did not come out of thin air, it was precisely because Zhao Nan had the real accumulation and thinking of the previous month, and then added the painful experience of being ignored by his own faction, and finally there was Du Jia's 'golden words', all together to have his epiphany.

He immediately kowtowed and said resolutely: "Shengshang, colleagues, the lower officials know that they are guilty, but this Liangshan thief is not only powerful, but also brave soldiers, it is really very tricky, and the lower officials have also paid attention to their important people in their contact with them during this time, except for Du Jia's accident, there are also many people who need to pay attention, and the lower officials feel that they must be in great trouble if they stay, and I implore the Holy Lord to send the heavenly soldiers to exterminate them, and the lower officials are willing to make meritorious contributions and assist the heavenly soldiers to deal with this group of damned thieves!" ”

His words shocked all the officials, and the compassionate look just now seemed to be a different person, and suddenly became extremely disgusted with the people of Liangshan, and he also said that his previous surrender behavior was a patriotic act of taking the initiative to spy on the military situation, which was simply shameless and villain in the eyes of those Qingliu officials, isn't it just a death, in order to reduce the guilt, he even rebelled and even groveled, what kind of gentleman is this?

I saw a white-haired old man step out from the side, trembling and pointing at Zhao Nan with his finger and said bitterly: "Zhao Nan, Zhao Nan, the big husband can't be lewd, the poor can't be moved, and the mighty can't be bent, the old man used to think you were a good seedling, but I didn't expect that you couldn't bear it when you encountered a setback." What you did before was very undeserved, but if you mistook it, it was a gentleman's doing, but I didn't expect you to even say such a spineless thing for fear of death, which really disappointed the old man, and it was simply a shame for my generation of scholars! ”

Changsheng came to apologize again, crying bitterly, sorry for the party and sorry for the people, the punishment is not to punish three glasses of wine???
