Chapter 68: The Second Bet!

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Su Yang looked at the silent Tyrant Zhao and didn't know what to say.

After the bloody oppression of the Mengyuan barbarians, the Ming scholars were still quite literati in the early Ming Dynasty, with a strong and righteous spirit!

For example, in the early Ming Dynasty, there were many literati who were not used to what the old Zhu family did, so they would rather die than give in.

And Emperor Taizu Gao's solution is also very simple and rude, since you don't want to be used by me, then kill it directly!

But even so, many literati still refused to go out of office, preferring to be a hermit who ploughed the fields.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, such as Storm Zhao, these scholars all took the benefit of one party as their own responsibility, and were firm practitioners of establishing their hearts for heaven and earth, establishing their lives for the people, continuing their studies for the saints, and opening peace for all generations.

Tyrant Zhao is one of the best, he is not a simple literati, but a pure literati who is strict with himself!

thinks that he is violent Zhao, but he is the chief secretary of the criminal department, and he is a member of the court, but he is still wearing coarse linen clothes, and his life is extremely simple.

In history, after Zhu Di defeated Yingtian, Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng left their beloved Emperor Jianwen and fled directly.

However, a pure literati like Tyrant Zhao, who adhered to the idea of loyalty to the monarch and the seniority of the ministers, even if he was slaughtered by Zhu Di of the Ten Clans, he would never announce in that edict that Zhu Di ascended the throne in response to the mandate of heaven, and still accused him of messing up the program and being a rebel!

Tyrant Zhao even scolded Zhu Di, even though his teeth were gouged out first, and then his hands and feet were cut off, Tyrant Zhao still scolded Zhu Di endlessly, until he was cut off his neck and died!

Why did Zhu Di kill people in anger after persuading these scholars to no avail?

Because scholars such as Bang Zhao and Fang Xiaoru don't recognize Zhu Di, then in the hearts of the scholars, Zhu Di will always be a rebel and usurper in the hearts of scholars, so Zhu Di will go on a killing spree, and he will not hesitate to kill a river of blood to make Zhao and other scholars give in.

But Zhu Di forgot that literati have integrity!

For example, although Qitai and Huang Zicheng's generation account for the majority, there are still a few literati such as Bang Zhao and Fang Xiaoru who have always adhered to their own hearts and adhered to the character and integrity of the literati.

Therefore, in the face of a pure literati like Storm Zhao, Su Yang could not have any resentment.

It is because of this kind of integrity that Huaxia can survive in the cracks, and after the alien iron horse breaks through the rivers and mountains of Huaxia, it rises angrily!

It is because of the existence of this integrity that the Han people can rise up to resist in the face of alien slaughter!

Da Ming, you need these readers with wind bones!

Su Yang thought so and thought again.

The Criminal Department is still a scholar of the Violent Zhao, this is the first pure literati Su Yang has met since he crossed over.

He wanted to try it, if he could change the trajectory of Storm Zhao's life and leave some seeds of scholars for Daming!

"Sir, do you remember our bet?"

Hearing this, Storm Zhao smiled bitterly and nodded subconsciously.

Of course he remembered the bet.

It was the gambling contract with Su Yang that made him see the hypocritical nature of the new emperor Zhu Yunwen!

Storm Zhao once agreed with Su Yang that if the new emperor Zhu Yunwen restored the supply of grain and grass in Beiping, Su Yang would accept Storm Zhao's recommendation and enter the dynasty as an official to benefit one party.

Originally, Bang Zhao was full of confidence in this bet, because he was full of confidence in the new emperor Zhu Yunwen at that time, so he never thought that he would lose!

But that's how cruel the truth is!

Not only did he lose, but he lost completely!

Even if he didn't give up, he made it clear the three lines of defense left by Emperor Taizu Gao, and pointed out that it was wrong for the imperial court to cut the domain!

However, His Majesty the new emperor still insisted on going his own way, not only did he suspend the action of cutting the feudal domain and restore the supply of grain and grass in Beiping Mansion, but also personally replied to him with a secret letter, accusing him of listening to the slanderous rumors of traitors and shaking the country!

Oh, shake the country?

Preventing the cutting of the feudal domain is to shake the country's foundation?

What is Kunimoto?

It's not your Zhu Yunwen's throne dragon chair, but the low-level people under the big tomorrow!

The person who really shakes the country is me or you Zhu Yunwen?

Of course, these words can only be thought of in the heart, and they dare not say it.

But even so, Tyrant Zhao was still extremely painful and confused.

The patriotic ideology of loyalty to the monarch that he has always adhered to makes it impossible for him to be indifferent.

Even Tyranny Zhao wanted to return to Jinling directly, risking his life to persuade the new emperor Zhu Yunwen to stop the action of cutting the feudal domain, and not to make mistakes again and again!

However, if he really does this, he may anger Long Yan and be in a dilemma of life and death!

So when he came to visit Su Yang today, he also had the idea of saying goodbye.

"Do you remember what the old gentleman was?"

Su Yang continued to ask.

"If you can't do anything, retreat from the rapids!"

Tyrant Zhao subconsciously said the answer, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

If you can't do anything, when the rapids retreat?

Su Yang: This is ...... See through your plans?

But at that time of the bet, he was so full of confidence, would he definitely lose?

Storm Zhao was a little shocked and inexplicable, and looked at Su Yang in disbelief.

Su Yang sighed and considered the wording.

"Old man, Zhu Yunwen will not stop cutting the domain, even if he has to sacrifice the people of Beiping Mansion, he will definitely do it."

"There is a good saying, you can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep, and Zhu Yunwen is the one who pretends to be asleep!"

"He has only one thought in his heart now, that is, to sweep away all the vassal kings who have heavy troops and may pose a threat to his throne, and stabilize his throne as emperor, as for sacrificing some people, Zhu Yunwen doesn't care at all!"

"If he Zhu Yunwen really has the people in his eyes, if he Zhu Yunwen really loves the people like a son, he will not cut off the supply of grain and grass in Beiping Mansion from the beginning, in the final analysis, Zhu Yunwen is a cousin, both righteous and standing, shameless!"

Listening to Su Yang's sharp and spicy sarcastic words, Tyrant Zhao's face gradually turned pale.

He wanted to refute Su Yang, but he couldn't find a basis for refutation!

Because, what Su Yang said was the truth!

can tear all the fig leaf of the emperor's hypocrisy and reveal the emperor's true face, which is too cruel for a loyal and patriotic good minister and pure minister.

It's unacceptably cruel!

Su Yang saw the pain of Storm Zhao, and then changed his words.

"Old gentleman, I don't know what you think of Zhu Di, the king of Yan?"

Yan Wang Zhu Di?

What does Su Yang mean by this?

Storm Zhao's face changed drastically, and he rarely gave birth to an angry face.

"Su Yang, are you acting as a lobbyist for Zhu Di?"

It's no wonder that Storm Zhao is so angry, but Su Yang's suspicion of being a lobbyist is too obvious.

The front foot just scolded the new emperor Zhu Yunwen as useless, and on the back foot, he mentioned Yan Wang Zhu Di, coupled with the identity of Su Yang Yan Wang's son-in-law, it is difficult not to make Tyrant Zhao suspicious!

Su Yang immediately laughed when he heard Storm Zhao's questioning.

"King Yan's lobbyist?"

"Old man, you're too worried!"

"Zhu Di, he is not qualified to let me be his lobbyist!"

Hearing this arrogant remark, even Tyrant Zhao was a little surprised, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

This kid is really crazy!

Zhu Wanqiu on the side listened, subconsciously pursed her lips, took out a small notebook and made another note.

Hmph, Xianggong, you said bad things about your father again, and when you know your father's identity in the future, see how he cleans you up!

"I just think that if Yanwang Zhu Di sits in that position, the lives of the common people will be better!"

Storm Zhao took a deep look and walked away with some displeasure.

Su Yang didn't get up to stop him.

"Sir, our second bet is on the batch of grain and grass you have been tracking."

"If the batch of grain and grass still doesn't appear in the cold winter, then the old gentleman wins, and the kid is willing to accept the recommendation to be an official in the court."

"But if it is in the cold winter, the Yanwang Mansion opens a warehouse to release grain, then the old gentleman will lose, and please ask the old gentleman to stay in Beiping Mansion more and observe the state of life!"

This is...... The second bet!

Tyrant Zhao didn't answer and left the courtyard directly.

However, Su Yang noticed sharply that the chief priest of the Criminal Department obviously paused.

Apparently, he had listened.

I just don't know, when Yan Wangfu opens a warehouse to release grain, what choice will he make?
