Chapter 345: The Character of the Literati

Because Qin Zhidao was already drunk and unconscious, only Qin Nan sent Su Shi out of the house.

Su Shi and Qin Nan walked out of the study, only to see the bright moon hanging high, the breeze was refreshing, and the whole capital seemed to fall into a deep sleep, except for a few occasional insects and birds, they couldn't hear any sound.

Qin Nan was full of worries, so he didn't say anything all the way, Lin Mo and Wan'er saw that they were in a bad mood, so they naturally didn't step forward and followed them far behind.

Stepping over the high threshold, the gate was already within reach, but at this time, Qin Nan suddenly stopped, his eyes were confused, like hazy moonlight.

"How are you going to face Master Confucius in the future?"

"Among them, it is not difficult for me to face Master Kong, even now, I can still sit down and talk and laugh with him, and get drunk."

Qin Nan glanced at him: "Don't you think you're hypocritical." ”

Although there was a hint of ridicule in her words, Su Shi's expression became extremely solemn at this time, and he said slowly: "Master Kong has a noble character and profound knowledge, not to mention that he also has lofty ideals, and is willing to go to great lengths for them at the cost of dying, which is definitely worthy of my respect." ”

"And the path he is going to take, history will eventually prove to be the right one." Su Shi's expression gradually dimmed: "He just embarked on this path at the wrong time, so he couldn't go through." ”

"So whether he's my opponent or not, I'll respect him as well." Su Shi suddenly looked a little lonely: "Because I can't do it." ”

"At the end of the day, I'm still a businessman at heart, and I will weigh the pros and cons, so in everything I do, I always put profit first. If something doesn't benefit me, or even harms me, I don't even think about it. ”

"But Master Kong is different." Su Shisheng sighed with infinite emotion: "Actually, Pei Xun has already told him that this road will not work at all, and he may not be able to fully understand what kind of road this road is, but Master Kong still chooses to go on without hesitation, only for this, I have to respect him." ”

Qin Nan looked at Su Shi in a daze, although she still maintained the greatest respect for Kong Wenshun like Su Shi, she could still feel that Su Shi's respect for Master Confucius was completely different from her.

Su Shi didn't explain it to Qin Nan either, because no matter how smart she was, she still couldn't understand it after all.

Then Su Shi smiled at her: "So Master Kong is still your most respected teacher and uncle's most sincere friend." ”

"You really don't blame Master Kong?"

Su Shi shook his head slightly: "When we met outside the city that night, I actually reminded him, and I don't know if he understood." ”

Qin Nan looked at him in surprise: "Have you reminded Master Confucius?" ”

"Yes." Su Shi said silently: "I mentioned to you that night Master Kong wanted me to join the Harmony Society to lead them, and I told him that the reason why Pei Hyun chose me was that the Harmony Society needed someone to be its spiritual leader, implying that he was just Pei Hyun selected to be the spiritual leader of the Harmony Society. ”

A woman's mind seems to be as unpredictable as a needle under the sea, when Su Shi said that Kong Wenshun was Pei Hyun's successor, Qin Nan's heart was like mixed tastes, but at this time, Su Shi said that Kong Wenshun was just a puppet selected by Pei Hyun, and she was a little unconvinced.

"Why do you think so?"

Su Shi had to tell the truth: "Because Master Kong is a literati, not a politician." Let's put it this way, if we confront him tomorrow, even without any evidence, he will definitely admit that he is the deacon of the Harmony Society. ”

Qin Nan's expression moved: "Then what?" ”

"He's going to die." Su Shi said softly: "If he knows that his identity has been exposed, then he has only one way to go, and that is a dead end." ”

Qin Nan clenched his hands into fists, bit his lip with his teeth, his emotions became very excited, and after a long time, he slowly asked, "Why?" ”

Su Shi smiled reluctantly: "I said that Master Kong is not a politician, he is still a literati in his bones, so he still has the style of a literati, and he can't learn the treachery and thick black of a politician." Although his purpose was noble, what he did was contrary to the eyes of the world. And since his identity has been revealed, in order to protect the entire organization, the only thing he can do is to die generously. ”

Qin Nan suddenly took Su Shi's hand and looked at him with an extremely frightened expression: "You must have a way to save Master Confucius, don't you?" ”

Su Shi held Qin Nan's cold hand and was silent for a long time before looking up at her eyes full of begging.

"There's only one way to save him."

"How?"

"If it can be confirmed that the Agarwood Hall incident is related to Pei Hyun, it can show that Pei Hyun is suspected of colluding with foreign clans to subvert Daqian, and Master Kong will know that Pei Hyun's purpose is not as noble as he said, and with the character of Lord Kong, he will definitely turn against him."

"Can you confirm that the Agarwood Hall incident is related to Pei Hyun?"

Su Shi smiled bitterly: "The secret guard has been investigating for so many days, and there are still no clues, which shows that the people behind the scenes are very hidden, and Chang Muhua has been vigilant, and he must have arranged countermeasures, if he wants the truth to be revealed, I am afraid it will take some time." ”

Qin Nan suddenly asked, "Why do you think that Pei Xun would collude with foreign clans to subvert Daqian?" ”

"If you want to replace one system with another, you can't just drink a few drinks and say a few words." Su Shi's eyes became as cold as moonlight: "That must be your life-and-death struggle." This is also the reason why I think Master Kong is not the real mastermind behind the Tongxin Society, he is not competent at all. ”

Su Shi suddenly looked directly at Qin Nan and asked slowly, "How can we change the dynasty?" ”

Qin Nan didn't answer, because this question had already been answered in the history books.

"But whether it is the battle for the crown prince or the battle for the throne, if it is just internal worries, Pei Hyun knows that even if he rises up, the chances of winning are extremely small."

Qin Nan finally let out a long breath, her face looked extremely pale in the moonlight: "But if the internal worries are combined with the external troubles, Da Qian is only afraid that there will be a long period of turmoil, in this way, maybe his trick can really succeed." ”

But her words changed: "But all this speculation is based on the establishment of the Agarwood Hall incident is planned by Pei Hyun." ”

Su Shi said categorically: "It can only be him, because it is impossible for anyone else to know about this scam." ”

Qin Nan said silently: "Will there still be people like you?" ”

Su Shi was slightly stunned, and after a long time, he couldn't help but smile wryly, and muttered: "If there really are people like us, I don't know how special Da Qian is in the history of this time and space, and it will lead countless traversers to bend their waists." ”

Then he closed his eyes and thought about it, then opened them, shook his head, and said, "There can be no more people like us. ”
