In Yang Zhi's mind, although Wei Su is a little thin, he has always been a standard professional soldier with a straight waist, refreshed spirits, and no anger and self-authority. Hearing what the gray-haired old housekeeper of the Taiwei Mansion said, he vaguely remembered that when Wei Su summoned him in Shuofang, he had inadvertently mentioned that he was suffering from stomach cold. Only then did Yang Zhi notice that Wei Su's clothes were much heavier than the old housekeeper on the side, although he still had a straight waist, he couldn't hide his skinny body, and his dark face was also covered with a layer of transparent sallow.

As the key executor and important planner of this earth-shattering conspiracy, Wei Su must bear unimaginable huge mental pressure, so can he eat well and sleep soundly? Physical illness can still be treated, but how to treat heart disease? Yang Zhi secretly sighed: Regardless of success or failure, Wei Su is definitely not a long-lived person.

"Wait." Yang Zhi knew that he had to ban alcohol due to stomach problems, so he called the old housekeeper and persuaded him politely: "General, as long as you have a heart, fragrant tea can also be used as fine wine." Thanks to the general's attention, according to the little nephew, it is the same for us to replace wine with tea. ”

Wei Su stubbornly said: "Tea is tea, wine is wine, how can it be the same?" He turned back to the old housekeeper and shouted, "What is the friction of mother-in-law? Why don't you go get the wine! ”

The old butler had to bring a jar of imperial wine and pour a small pot according to his words, but the drinking vessel was two and a half small wine cups. Yang Zhi hurriedly got up and took it, the old housekeeper looked helpless, although he didn't speak, his eyes were full of begging when he looked at Yang Zhi.

Yang Zhi nodded slightly, waved his hand and motioned for the old housekeeper to step aside, and still stood aside. Ma Li's pot poured half a cup for Wei Su, but poured himself an overflow. Raised a glass and said: "Since the general is gracious, the little nephew will do it first." ”

Wei Su has a restrained temperament, but he is arrogant for a while, and he is not a drunkard like Xiong Zhan. looked at each other and smiled, and toasted together. Yang Zhi was not busy adding the two of them to the wine cup in accordance with Fang Cai's charter, but he no longer raised his glass to respect.

Wei Su's face was full of kindness again: "Virtuous nephew, although you and I have our own opinions on the general trend of the world, the more we talk, the closer we go. In fact, I also know that sooner or later the world will be unified again. It's just that I don't approve of being too radical. You also said just now that Qin Shi Huang's unification of the six countries was made possible because of the unremitting efforts of more than ten generations of Qin monarchs and hundreds of years of accumulation. The current situation is very different from Qin's annihilation of the Six Kingdoms, but the situation is different and the same. Think about it, if there is no inaction in the early Han Dynasty and the two dynasties and the people resting. How could Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty create a brilliant and strong man who would shine for thousands of years? ”

He drank a glass of wine and said with a resolute expression: "Everything is too much, you should do what you can." The current territory of Great Xia is more than ten times larger than that at the beginning of the founding of the country, which is enough to make the emperor a great emperor who will be praised for all generations! Why not leave the great deeds of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to his descendants? It also makes the hundreds of millions of people in Great Xia and the people of the world take a breath! ”

You say it lightly! That's a good idea. But if you are not careful, the situation gets out of control, and the civil war in Great Xia is triggered by the competition for the throne among the princes, and when the whole Great Xia is a pot of porridge, I am afraid that you can only buy a piece of tofu by yourself and die headlong, and go to the Lord of Yama to catch your breath!

Yang Zhi couldn't help but interject and asked: "The general cares about the people and worries about the country and the people, and the little nephew admires it very much. But have you ever thought that the world is unpredictable, and once some things are not well controlled, they will become more and more counterproductive? ”

"If so, then death will not be able to atone for it." Wei Su shook his head and smiled: "But how could I not think of this section? Rest assured, I already know it. There will never be such an uncontrollable situation. ”

Wei Su is by no means a person who runs trains with his mouth full, and Yang Zhi suddenly realized: Wei Su is either a complete madman, or he is innocent and cute! He actually believed that he was as if he had the hand of God, and that he was fully capable of directing a bloodless coup d'état!

But it can also be seen that this conspiracy was not only planned and executed by Wei Su, but his plan was at least relatively mild. Xu Wenhan's inference about the emperor's situation has also been verified to a certain extent. As a last resort, Wei Su probably didn't want to directly end the emperor's life. It is very likely to follow the model of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, who first tried to hold the emperor's life firmly in his hands, and then forced him to abdicate.

At the same time, Yang Zhi also determined. If the crown prince really acted according to Wei Su's plan to the letter, unless he was unlucky, the end of the group, including the queen and Wei Su, must be super miserable. What made him depressed was that, of course, it also included his stupid brother-in-law, Shen Chong.

Wei Su didn't expect Yang Zhi to have so many thoughts in his mind in the blink of an eye. Interested, he continued: "The emperor has four sons, King Ning and King Kang inherit the emperor's knowledge and warlikeness, and King Yue is young and has not yet reached adulthood. Today's crown prince is the prince of the prince, and it is natural to inherit the unification. I also know that the crown prince is not outstanding in intelligence, but he has a gentle and tolerant temperament, and if he gets a good job, he will do his best to assist. It is inevitable to be a king who connects the previous and the next. How could such a young and promising top talent as a virtuous nephew be buried in vain? It will definitely show its ambitions like a fish in water and become a model of a generation of famous ministers who will go down in history! ”

Wei Su has always been widely admired for his modesty and prudence, and never taking credit for his pride, although his emotions are a little excited, and he still carefully considers every word of his speech, and does not directly rebuke the emperor. It seems that Wei Su's dissatisfaction and resentment in his heart have not been stored for a day or two for the emperor's unsparing expansion policy over the years. Yang Zhi could fully hear that in addition to the reckless use of military force, Wei Su had another accusation of "great joy" against the emperor.

Maybe because he had the opportunity to express his heart directly, or maybe because of the effect of a pitiful little alcohol, Wei Su's dark and thin cheeks were flushed, and his eyes also flashed with a strange look.

Wei Su's rare and extraordinary state actually reminded Yang Zhi of those diehards who were deeply poisoned by pyramid schemes in his previous life. No matter what motive Wei Su had for launching the coup d'état, or what kind of bullshit and good future of famous ministers and models, Yang Zhi was not interested in it at all. sighed in his heart: Wei Su doesn't look like a shameless politician who is treacherous and loyal, full of intrigues and tricks, and even less like a crazy gambler who instigated the prince to kill his father and usurp rebellion for his own selfish desires. If he captures his psychology of wholeheartedly working for the well-being of the people, and is deceived and used by the prince and the queen, it will be so pathetic!

Wei Su saw that Yang Zhi was stunned, and thought that he had already said that he had moved his heart. He poured himself a full cup and said very sincerely: "I have tried to be worthy of my heart in my life, whether I am alive or behind me whether it is a good name or a bad name, I have no time to think too much, and the rights and wrongs are only to be commented on by future generations." If I have half selfishness or half a lie, discipline me and heaven will not destroy it! ”

"Virtuous nephew. I believe that you don't need to put anyone under the fence according to your ability. I've heard about your relationship with the crown prince and King Ning. King Ning will still be a courtier of Great Xia in the future, and I will definitely dare to guarantee my life on the prince's side. No matter how much grudge you had with the prince or people related to the prince before, not only will it be invisible in the future, but it will not hinder your bright future in the slightest. Even if you still don't change your wildness, as long as you don't violate the righteousness of the monarch and the ministers, I dare to guarantee that the prince will not bother with you. ”

Wei Su was still cautious and said vaguely. But he is confident that everything that should be said is refreshing, and he can only say this at most.

Yang Zhi knew that Wei Su would be wrong if he was amorous, but it also showed that he was enough to look up to him. It is absolutely impossible to change banners in battle, and if you explicitly refuse at this time, it is tantamount to showing the old bottom, which is even more stupid. In the face of Wei Su's sincere and innocent invitation, even if he couldn't bear it in his heart, he had to harden his heart to deal with it.

Yang Zhi Huoran realized that neither the queen nor Wei Su had regarded him as a mortal enemy so far. Today is the heart that comes to temptation. Why not take this opportunity to carry out the ambiguity between the two ends of the first rat to the end?

He filled his wine cup again and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, if you stay in the green mountains, you are not afraid of no firewood." If you don't get drunk, everyone is drunk, the general still takes care of his health, please forgive the little nephew for being greedy for a cup. Every word you say today has been listened to in your heart, but you have exalted me too much. The reason why I am where I am today is completely due to chance. There is a saying that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and rats are born to make holes. What kind of virtue my dad is, I think you know it too. Since I was a child, I didn't like to be constrained. They only want to have food, clothing, and money. When my family lives in abundance and comfort, I am satisfied. Whether you believe it or not, everything you see and hear about me and do is because of this. ”

"As long as you live in this world. There's always going to be more or less something going on. You also said that I am bold, not that I boast, no matter what kind of grievances I have with someone, no matter what identity the other party is, I really don't care too much. I came from a family of merchants, and businessmen pay attention to harmony and wealth. My purpose in dealing with people is very simple: people don't offend me, I don't offend people. It is best for everyone to live together in peace and harmony for the rest of their lives. However, there is no room for half-hearted people to participate in all major events, so as not to achieve enough things and lose more than anything. Of course, I will seriously consider your teachings for today when I go back, and if I plan to change my mind, I will come back when the time comes. ”

Yang Zhi's words were neither humble nor arrogant, and Wei Su's hope for recruiting a strong general under his command was poured into his heart. After consuming so much saliva with good intentions, in the end, he was still slammed by this kid!

This kid has said a lot of long-winded things, but in fact, it can be condensed into one sentence: everything is for self-preservation, and he doesn't plan to mix. But his last few ambiguous words are quite intriguing, which can be listened to as polite words that take into account Wei Su's face, and there is a bit of shamelessness in waiting for the price to be sold. Who knows which of his sentences is true and which is false?

The brilliance on Wei Su's face immediately dimmed, and he picked up the wine jug without saying a word, and after drinking a few glasses of stuffy wine in one breath, he sighed in a distracted manner: "A good person doesn't offend me, I don't offend anyone!" …… What if anyone sins against you? What do you mean? ”

Yang Zhi quietly took the wine jug in his hand, and smiled without hesitation: "If someone offends me, I will offend someone!" If a person is too honest, he is foolish. Hehe, General, I taught Feiyang the same way, which makes you laugh. ”

Wei Su really couldn't think of a star on Yang Zhi's body that could be compared with the word "honest". Wei Su had never had a head-to-head confrontation with Yang Zhi, and at this time, he finally experienced for himself why even the emperor sometimes had a headache with him. I agree with Yang Zhi's statement in my heart: At this time, I can't tolerate any more half-heartedness, let alone the time when the grass and trees are all soldiers and strong enemies! Let's believe him for three points, stabilize him first!

Wei Su was silent for a moment, then returned to his indifferent face, and everything seemed to return to the track when Yang Zhichu entered the door: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and I have no intention of being strong." I just asked so casually, don't worry about the virtuous nephew. The virtuous nephew is erudite and talented, and he must have read the Tao Te Ching, the ancestor of Taoism. ”

Why did it go to the Tao Te Ching again? Yang Zhi couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then thought that Wei Su advocated the rule of inaction, and wanted to have a lot of research on Taoist doctrine. With a wry smile: "I'm not afraid of the general's jokes, I don't want to understand much when I read books, and I haven't really read books like "Tao Te Ching" that make people sleepy." I wonder what the general thinks of this book? The little nephew is willing to listen to it. ”

Wei Su got up and paced slowly, and groaned: "Good is like water." Water is good for all things, and it is not disputed. is evil to everyone, so it is more than the way. Live in a good place, and have a good heart. Be kind and benevolent, good in words, good in governance, good in things, and good in time. The husband is indisputable, so there is no especially. ”

He stopped and smiled: "If the virtuous nephew really hasn't read it, I would suggest that you go back and read it." Although a "Tao Te Ching" has only a few thousand words, its meaning can be called profound and profound. If the virtuous nephew can calm down and read it attentively, he will definitely understand a lot of truth from it. I am ashamed to receive your generous gift today, and I have nothing to give, so I will give you those words in the book I just read! ”

Yang Zhi was not frightened by those few obscure words, and understood the central meaning clearly, which can be summarized in two words: indisputable. It is true that he has not read the Tao Te Ching in its entirety, but he always feels that those words are not very unfamiliar, and there is a vague impression in his mind.

After trying his best to collect in his memory, he suddenly remembered that in his previous life, he had seen Yi Zhongtian's "Han Dynasty Figures" lecture in the "Hundred Lectures" column. Yi Zhongtian quoted this passage of Lao Tzu when he was commenting on Chen Ping, a famous minister in the early Han Dynasty, and it is quite appropriate to use it on the two of them at this moment.

According to Lao Yi, the so-called "good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose their masters to do things" is the principle of life and job hunting for people who thought they had some ability in ancient times. Under the cover of this disguise, there is no standard of right and wrong, no moral responsibility, no emotional constraints, no consistent personality, everything is for personal interests and success, and everything becomes justified.

Yang Zhi believes that his motivation comes entirely from profit, while Wei Su undoubtedly believes that he is carrying out a righteous and great cause. not only reminded Yang Zhi to be consistent and "indisputable", but also gently persuaded him to understand current affairs.

Yang Zhi heard Wei Su's contempt for him, and a wave of annoyance welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help but secretly sneer: I am fighting for one acre and three points of land to settle down, but you are whimsically fighting for the entire country! According to the current situation, I am afraid that these words are more appropriate to use on you, so you should keep them for yourself and use them slowly!

"It stands to reason that the elders have something to give, and the juniors dare not say goodbye. But although I worship and keep in mind the gift of the general, I dare not enjoy it exclusively, and the little nephew thinks it is better to encourage you.
