Zhou Chong said proudly: "I don't think they can't, even if Mao Hong comes forward, they can't reconcile, Wang Cheng is their uncle in the end, and the hatred of killing relatives is not shared." If you want me to say, Wang Dun acted so recklessly, even under the banner of being good for the king, it was too arrogant and ferocious, Wang Cheng was murdered back then, he should take the opportunity to take him down, and with the correct law, there would be no disaster today. ”

Zhou Yi: "Although you are right, but Wang Dun was holding a large army at that time, do you think he will be captured?" ”

If Wang Dun is not restrained, on the contrary, can King Langya maintain the situation?

You don't have to think about it carefully, Zhou Yi can give the answer, he must not be able to, after all, when he came to Yangzhou, he relied on Wang Dao and Wang Dun the most.

Zhou Yi said: "What is the difference between blindly fighting regardless of the consequences and Liu Kui Diao Xie and others? ”

Zhou Chong saw that he actually compared him with Liu Kui Diao Xie, and was instantly furious, "You actually compare me with such villains, I advocate that punishing Wang Dun is a legal principle, and everything they do is flattering, how is it the same?" ”

Zhou Yi saw that his eyes were red with anger, and he quickly admitted his mistake, and then said, "You go back first, I'll go see Maohong." ”

Zhou Chong didn't stop him this time, flicked his sleeves and went home by himself first.

Zhou Yi walked near Director Wang's house, saw a lot of people gathered at the gate, everyone sat quietly on the ground, couldn't help shaking his head, turned around and touched the side door, and knocked open.

Director Wang finally let Zhou Yi in, they are good friends, he knows Zhou Yi, if it is a dispensable joke, he will sit at the gate, and only if he has to say something, he will insist on seeing him.

Zhou Yi followed his subordinates in, and saw Director Wang, who was said to be seriously ill and did not see guests, sitting on a mat under the tree drinking tea, leisurely.

Zhou Yi stepped forward and said with disgust: "How can you drink tea without drinking?" ”

Before he came, Director Wang was indeed drinking, but as soon as he decided to see him, he asked people to withdraw the wine.

He didn't want Zhou Yi to lose his temper here.

"This is a new fashion in Jiangbei, I heard that Zhao Hanzhang likes to drink tea, but not wine, and loves tea, so now there are many tea plants in the mountains of Yuzhou and Xuzhou, and even Shu has begun to grow tea." Wang Dao said: "I was curious about the mystery of this tea, so I asked someone to try it." ”

At this time, tea culture is not very popular, compared to tea, literati and ink writers prefer wine when communicating, but the upward and downward effects, because Zhao Hanzhang likes, she will invite guests to tea, she goes to other people's homes as guests, guests treat her with tea, over time, tea drinking has become a fashion.

Although Jiangnan was far from Luoyang, they quickly learned the fashion.

Zhou Yi sat opposite him, picked up a cup of tea and smelled it, and then took a sip, and said with a smile after a while: "Clear and sweet, it does have a different taste." ”

With that, drink the tea in the cup.

Director Wang couldn't help laughing, held the pot and poured him another cup, and said with a smile: "Then how about switching to tea in the future?" ”

Zhou Yi directly shook his head and refused, "Although the tea is good, the wine is better, and why do I have to choose one of the two?" I can have both. ”

"You, you," Director Wang shook his head with a smile, but still persuaded, "It's better to drink less water, so as not to hurt your body." ”

Zhou Yi saw that he avoided embarrassing the topic, and simply took the initiative to mention it, "I thought you would say it so as not to lose your temper." ”

Director Wang looked at him a little embarrassed, Zhou Yi was fine, but he was embarrassed.

Zhou Yi shook his head and said: "Although I was impeached by Liu Kui, I did something wrong, and every time you are impeached, you are not innocent." ”

Director Wang was silent.

Half a year ago, Director Wang took Zhou Yi to a friend's house as a guest, Zhou Yi drank too much during the banquet, and I don't know what was added to the wine at his friend's house, or he was simply excited about that kind of wine, Zhou Yi lost his temper on the spot, and it was useless for his friends to stop him, and finally he stripped naked and naked in the banquet, which made people see a joke.

After the banquet, Liu Kui impeached Zhou Yi for his gaffe, and since then Zhou Yi and Liu Kui have a grudge.

But that is what the public thinks, in fact, although Zhou Yi himself does not like Liu Kui's character, he does not feel that he is wrong to impeach himself.

And Liu Kui also impeached Wang Dao, because the impeached Wang Bin, Wang Xia, Wang Ying and others were the children of the Wang family, and as the leader of the Wang family in Jiangnan, Wang Dao did not restrain the good clansmen;

There are also Zhou Xiao, Liu Yin and others, they are the people recommended by Director Wang, and they also obey Director Wang's orders, and if their subordinates make mistakes, their bosses must also be held responsible.

For the first time, Zhou Yi talked to Director Wang about these things, "Liu Kui...... Alas, his behavior is legal and not wrong, what is wrong is that the situation in Jiangnan is not suitable for use, but this is the meaning of the king, and the Wang family is fighting against Liu Kui, in fact, he is fighting against the king. ”

In Zhou Yi's view, the contradiction between Wang Dao and King Langya is first a difference in cognition, and then a conflict of interests.

Wang Dao wants to rule first, and when Jiangnan is governed well, everything is under control, and then turn to the combination of human law, in the middle, there will inevitably be sacrifices, and there will be situations that do not conform to legal principles;

And King Langya wanted to directly use the law to govern his majesty, his privileges, and his interests were directly written in the law, so he relied on Liu Kui and Diao Xie to resist the wealthy clan headed by the Wang family.

And Liu Kui and Diao Xie, they have small wisdom, but no great wisdom, blindly worshipping the superior and suppressing the inferior, and suppressing the strong.

But how can governing the country be such a clear and incomplete governance method as black and white?

Zhou Yi saw very clearly that the contradiction between Wang Dao and King Langya was fundamentally the different understanding of the statecraft, Wang Dao wanted to occupy a dominant position and let Jiangnan go according to his own ideas;

King Langya also wants to grasp the power and govern Jiangnan according to his own ideas.

The two of them are good friends, if it is just a contradiction between the two of them, maybe one day one side can convince the other party, but they are not only themselves, there is the Wang family behind Wang Dao, and there are many wealthy families, and there are many henchmen and officials with different opinions behind King Langya.

The two collided, even if the two of them were in control, the situation was still getting more and more serious, and the battle of one thing after another also made the relationship between King Langya and Wang Dao more tense and the contradictions deeper.

Director Wang put down the teacup and looked up at Zhou Yi, "What's going on outside?" "Let Beren come and tell him this?

After laying so much groundwork, Zhou Yi said: "Only then did the army report enter the city, Wang Xuan led the Jingzhou army to attack Wuchang County, and even four cities, and now Wang Xuan is retreating." ”

Director Wang was shocked and asked, "What about Jiangbei......

"Only Jingzhou," Zhou Yi paused, his face was indescribable, "because the Yangzhou army robbed Jingzhou of the tax grain transported to Luoyang." ”

Director Wang: ......

Zhou Yi couldn't help sighing when he saw him like this, and said: "Since you said that you couldn't get sick, the king has been depressed, and Wang Dun often says resentful words, Maohong, if the Wang family is not restrained, I am afraid that it will become a chaotic country, and at that time, can the Wang family really be saved?" ”

Director Wang didn't speak.

Zhou Yi didn't want his answer, and after reminding him, he got up and said goodbye.

Director Wang hurriedly got up and sent the people to the side door, and as soon as he sent the people away, the temple uncle said in a low voice: "Lord Lang, the people in front of the gate are almost gone, and only a few people from the Wang family are still there." ”

Director Wang: "I should have received the news from the military newspaper." ”

In this Jiankang City, there are few people who are lagging behind in the true news, but he is hiding in the house, and the news is slow. (End of chapter)
