"Third son, is there anything you don't understand?"

Mr. Wen asked with a smile. (Read the full text of the novel, as far as you can.1.) (1 text. Learning)[]

Although the third prince was only eleven or twelve years old, his expression was calm, his eyes were smart, and he was even more intelligent, and when he heard Mr. Wen's question, he no longer hesitated, and said, "Sir, there are many things I don't understand. First of all, what exactly does Sikong Min want to do? Such a big move, is it just to take revenge on Xiao Shenyan, but this kind of planting method is too stupid. ”

Mr. Wen smiled and said, "Then let me ask you, if you are Sikong Min, how should you retaliate against Xiao Shenyan?" ”

After thinking for a while, the third prince finally shook his head and said: "There is no way, although Sikong Min has a great reputation among the literati, he has no power over the years, and his protégés and former officials have all been driven out of the court by his grandfather, leaving only two people, one is Sun Ze, the Taishou Gong of Shuocheng, not to mention that he has already secretly taken refuge in us, and there is Zhao Muxian, the pastor of Huanzhou Prefecture, who is monitoring and can't show his hands, plus he himself is extremely inconsistent with Sun Rang, the Taishou of Changzhi City, and there is nothing he can do about the Xiao family. The other person is his former general, Li Yong, who served as a partial general in the army, but could not play any role in this kind of thing at all. So if I were him, at most I could only use my prestige among the literati to hit Xiao Shenyan, but I wouldn't be able to achieve a decisive role at all. ”

Mr. Wen nodded with a smile and explained, "So in order to take revenge on Xiao Shenyan, he can only do this, because he only has so many chess pieces in his hands. Let Li Yong, a general who served as a partial general in the army, hide the rebel Li San in the quelling of the rebellion, and send it to Huanzhou to be picked up by Sun Ze, the Taishou Gong of Shuocheng, and finally take the opportunity to blame the Xiao family for hiding the thief during his inspection of Changzhi City. And this time, he served as an inspector, nominally having the responsibility of inspecting the world, and he could just participate in the case. The seemingly useless chess pieces are all strung together by him, and after the goal is achieved, it is even more effective. ”

The third prince shook his head and said: "But Huanzhou is far away from Hejian Mansion, and it is unimaginable to frame Xiao Shenyan for participating in the rebellion, and second, it is too much to use this means to rectify a small Xiao Shenyan?" And in this way, he first asked the people to hide the prisoners from the court, and then planted the blame. The stakes are too great. ”

Mr. Wen glanced at the third prince approvingly and explained, "This is where Sikong Min is the smartest. This trick seems to be extremely dangerous, but in fact, it is not, the court stipulates that once the rebels are involved, they will not be killed. Therefore, once Sikong Min let Xiao Shenyan be involved in the rebellion, the others didn't have time to suspect it, and the Xiao family had already been beheaded, and there was no chance to overturn the case. Of course, the Xiao family has little power in the officialdom, and no one will rehabilitate them. As for the officials in Huanzhou, they will only report their capture of the thief to the court as a merit, even if they feel that it is inappropriate, they will never investigate it deeply. ”

The third prince suddenly sneered: "It's a pity that Sikong Min doesn't know that this matter has been known to us, but he will seize this opportunity to bring him down again, so that he will never come out." It's ridiculous that this Sikong Mintang generation of calligraphers, who was in charge of half of the affairs of the temple with his grandfather back then, is now in order to take revenge on the little Xiao Shenyan and resort to such a method. ”

Mr. Wen shook his head again and said, "No, Third Prince, you are wrong, or Sikong Min has the idea of retaliating against Xiao Shenyan by doing this, but his purpose is definitely not just to retaliate against Xiao Shenyan. After all, he is also a character, if he is just rectifying Xiao Shenyan, why do he have to make such a big move? ”

Hearing Mr. Wen's words, the third prince couldn't help but be stunned, looked at Mr. Wen, and asked, "How do you say this?" ”

"Do you know why Sikong Min's prestige is so high that he has not been reinstated until now since he was brought down by the Prime Minister?"

The third prince asked strangely, "Isn't it because grandpa has been suppressing him?" ”

"That's just a small part of the reason. The main reason is that the incident twenty years ago has caused him a lot of damage to his reputation. Why does Sikong Min hate Xiao Shenyan? Because for a literati, reputation is the most important thing, and Xiao Shenyan's poem back then was accompanied by those rumors that directly ruined his reputation. ”

"So what?"

"In fact, over the years, with the dominance of the Prime Minister's family, His Majesty has thought of Fu Sikong Min many times to balance, but as long as the Prime Minister hinders him with what happened twenty years ago, even His Majesty has no choice. Over the years, with the passage of time, the world has gradually forgotten the events of the year, and he has tried his best to repair his reputation in the past twenty years, and it is not easy to resume serving as an inspector again, but once he wants to go further and return to power, the events of that year are a hurdle that he cannot overcome. ”

The third prince seemed to think of something, and said hesitantly: "So ......"

"So he had to find a way to completely erase the effects of what happened to him twenty years ago. However, although the Prime Minister sent a large number of people to spread rumors unfavorable to him in the capital back then, under the management of the Prime Minister for many years, how could the wind and grass in the capital be hidden from the Prime Minister? Under the prime minister's watchful eye, what evidence could he find to restore his reputation? So he thought of Xiao Shenyan, who had been far away from the capital, speaking of which, if there was no poem by Xiao Shenyan back then, the prime minister's strategy would not have worked so well, and Sikong Min would not have been driven away from the court. ”

After Mr. Wen paused, he said: "Because of this, if he wants to restore his reputation, he has to start with Xiao Shenyan, and he must first give the Xiao family a charge that is enough to destroy the nine clans, and when the time comes, as long as he proposes to save a trace of the Xiao family's bloodline for Xiao Shenyan, Xiao Shenyan will be accused by him very lightly." And at that time, he could have asked Xiao Shenyan to say in front of His Majesty that the reason why he wrote that poem back then was because the prime minister secretly assigned it, and when the time came, he could beat the prime minister upside down, plus His Majesty himself had doubts about the events of the year, after his operation, even if he couldn't bring down the prime minister, it was enough to restore his reputation and return to the court, otherwise why do you think his status as Sikong Min would go to great lengths to calculate a Xiao family? ”

Hearing Mr. Wen's words, the third prince was silent for a long time, then suddenly stood up, bowed to Mr. Wen, and said, "Listen to Mr. Wen's words, Yansheng has benefited a lot, please accept Yansheng's worship!" ”

Mr. Wen hurriedly helped the third prince up and said: "The son is polite, with the importance of the prince to the son, as well as the wisdom of the son, the career of the prime minister in the future will inevitably be inherited by the son, Wenyan said, I only hope that the prince remembers, the temple dispute, there is no trivial matter, and it must not only look at its surface." ”

"Yan Sheng has been taught."

However, after standing up, the third prince asked hesitantly, "What about the Xiao family?" This matter has nothing to do with the Xiao family and Xiao Shenyan from beginning to end, if Sikong Min is allowed to come, when I come forward, the Xiao family will definitely be ruined......"

"Childe, in order to achieve great things, you can't stick to small sections."

“…… I understand. ”
