Chapter 316: Responding to the Tribulation
At this time, the wind and rain stopped suddenly, and the room was so quiet that Su Shi seemed to be able to hear the heartbeat on the other side of the wall, and he could also feel the shock and nervousness of the other party.
"Why are you doing this?" Su Shi's questioning voice sounded in the silent room: "As soon as Your Majesty dies, there will be chaos." If there is chaos, the people will inevitably suffer unspeakably. Isn't it a contradiction that you claim to be for the sake of the people, but what you are doing is causing the people to suffer terribly? ”
"Pei Shi did this to take the initiative to respond to the robbery." The deacon explained: "In fact, no matter whether Master Pei makes a move or not, the Son of Heaven is destined to die on July 17. And after the death of the Son of Heaven, the great cadres will also fall apart and usher in a catastrophe. ”
"Listen to what you're saying for yourself." Su Shi's eyes not only showed a trace of disappointment, but also full of sarcasm: "Take the initiative to respond to the robbery? This excuse can probably only deceive those foolish men and women. ”
After being silent for a while, Su Shi sighed again: "Even if you don't tell me the reason, I can guess a few points, so why hide it." ”
The other party was not angry, but said lightly: "What does Su Gongzi mean by this?" Didn't Childe believe what Pei Shi said? ”
Su Shi said: "I don't doubt Pei Xun's prophecy about Daqian, but I don't believe in your motives. In fact, the reason why you do this is just to disturb the world and then get a piece of the pie. ”
"Su Gongzi's words are just the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."
Su Shi didn't get angry, and replied calmly: "Really? I believe that Pei Hyun should have participated in the Three Kings Rebellion twenty years ago, which led to drastic changes in the court and a river of blood in the capital. ”
"Ten years ago, he designed to murder the prince, although there was no political turmoil, but it made the prince's national policy have no beginning and end, resulting in the current situation of business out of control, which is more harmful than before."
"Now he is planning to kill His Majesty in order to achieve a situation of chaos in the world, so as to realize his ambitions."
Without waiting for the deacon to refute, Su Shi smiled and continued, "Is this the robbery in Pei Hyun's mouth? In fact, he has always been the source of the great trouble, and you are just a pawn in his eyes. ”
"But I don't believe you can't see it." There was a hint of deep sadness in Su Shi's eyes: "Even if you see Pei Hyun's intentions, you will pretend not to know." Princes and generals, rather have a kind! Since Daqian is about to decline, it is no longer known who will be the supreme position. Bae Hyun is using you, why aren't you using him. ”
Su Shi was a little thirsty, poured himself a cup of tea, drank it all in one gulp, slowly put it in the teacup, and said, "What else can Mr. Deacon say?" ”
The voice said unhurriedly: "Since Su Gongzi thinks that we have bad intentions, why are we willing to give up the position of leader and sincerely invite Gongzi to join?" ”
"It's very simple, because as soon as Pei Hyun dies, you won't be able to play anymore." Su Shi said lightly: "The prince used the rule of the future generations to rule the country, and as soon as the prince died, his national policy was out of shape. In the same way, Bae Hyun didn't use the ideas of later generations to guide you, but once Bae Hyun died, I believe that you may not be able to understand those ideas, let alone convince others. ”
"At this time, you urgently need someone who has the same experience as Pei Hyun to become your banner, and I am very unlucky that you have found me."
The deacon sighed and said, "It turns out that Su Gongzi treats Master Pei and us like this? ”
"I have always done things like a villain before a gentleman, and I will speculate on others with the greatest malice at the beginning, and if it turns out that my speculation is wrong, I will sincerely apologize."
"Nothing is more demagogic than power, and I have rarely met anyone who can not change his mind in the face of power."
The other party also knew that he couldn't convince Su Shi, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "What does Su Gongzi think we can do to show our sincerity?" ”
"It's simple." Su Shi replied, "Give up your plans and stand by and watch. After the 17th of July, if His Majesty is still alive, it means that the way of the world has changed. Then you better break up, I can make the court not to blame the past. ”
Speaking of this, Su Shi couldn't help but sigh: "Actually, Pei Hyun is right about one thing, no matter what his philosophy is, whether you really agree with his philosophy or not, it is impossible to succeed at the moment, even if I take his place." ”
"Why?"
"No matter how advanced a concept is, it doesn't have a solid foundation, it's just a castle in the air. The idea of imperial power has taken root in the hearts of the people, and it is very difficult to change this thinking. Therefore, no matter how beautiful and exciting the prospect is depicted by Bae Hyun, he will eventually embark on the road of imperial power. ”
"Then can Su Gongzi dare to bet with me?"
Su Shi immediately became interested: "I will never refuse any gamble. How do deacons want to bet? And what is the stake? ”
"If Childe loses, we hope Childe will join us. If Childe wins, we will dissolve the Harmony Society as Childe said. ”
"One Heart? Brothers are of the same heart, and their profits are golden. Su Shi Zhengse said: "How do you want to bet?" ”
"Let's bet on whether Emperor Zhou Yi will die on July 17."
Su Shi sighed lightly: "It means that you will never give up plotting to kill Your Majesty, if I can stop your plan, even if I win, otherwise I will lose?" ”
"But do you know what the consequences of this gamble are? If I win, I don't know how many heads will fall to the ground. If I lose, Daqian will be in a catastrophe from which he will never recover. ”
"Su Gongzi is scared?"
Su Shi was silent for a long time, and finally raised his head and said, "Actually, Pei Hyun's plan is not without flaws. Just as the purple smoke rose yesterday, I can already guess who you are hiding in the palace. The reason why I didn't tell Princess Pingle is because Bae Hyun still has a trace of respect, and I guess that you may want to achieve a great ideal, so I have been hesitant in my heart, and I have always wanted to meet with you, hoping to convince you to abandon your plan. ”
"But if I accept this gamble, I will do my best, and I will not show mercy, you really want to bet with me?"
"Because Su Gongzi doesn't believe in the will of heaven, this gamble is not between us and Childe, but between God and Childe."
Su Shi was surprised: "Bet with the heavens? Do you think that your plans are favored by Heaven and that I cannot stop them? ”
At this time, the voice suddenly became extremely confident: "Master Pei said that if Su Gongzi intervenes, the Horror Project may not succeed, but this does not affect Zhou Yi's fate. Then his voice became ethereal, as if filled with a magical power: "Regardless of whether the Horror Project succeeds or not, Zhou Yi will definitely die on July 17." ”
