Su Ziji went out of Qingchun Garden, the slightest rain fell, sat in the sedan chair, and said, "Go back to the palace." ”

The coachman shouted, the ox cart moved, and the drizzle hit the oilcloth of the ox cart, Su Ziji sighed and thought about it carefully.

"The saddest thing in the world is that when you get to the ceiling, there is no road. ”

"The easiest way to kill people in officialdom is to hand over the work of offending people to him, and if he does it well, he has also offended many people and forces, or this, as long as the superiors or the emperor do not protect it, it will naturally be ashes. ”

"If you do a bad job, you can be punished justifiably, and others can't speak. ”

Not long after he entered Beijing, it can be said that his foundation is shallow, but on the other hand, in addition to the kings, there is no place to offend hundreds of officials, and there is also the foundation of "the son of the prince", many Confucian orthodox people secretly support it, as long as the time goes by, there is no need to do anything, the foundation will naturally gradually plump.

But the emperor sang a double reed and forced himself to take over this hot errand, the intention was to make himself unable to stay out of the matter, this is okay, the key is Luo Pei, don't look at the confidence he showed just now, but in fact it was a fatal blow to himself.

If the acting king's mansion wants to accept party henchmen and do it himself, it will not only fall into the mouth and give people a handle, but it is also difficult to understand them one by one, so a minister of Luo Pei's level is very important, and he can have enough qualifications to unite officials on his behalf.

Now, that possibility is eliminated.

As for Luo Pei's promotion to the governor of the southwest, Su Ziji was a little surprised, but it was reasonable.

"Officialdom kills at every turn, which not only is too arrogant and has a bad historical impact, but also makes hundreds of officials take blame at every turn, passively resist, and non-violent and non-cooperative. ”

"The normal means is to make the best use of people and squeeze out the value - this is the case for me and Luo Pei, Luo Pei is not young, if he puts it in the southwest for six years, how many years can he work when he comes back?"

"For me, getting this done is beneficial to the imperial court, and it can get me out naturally. ”

"This is the stone that will be squeezed out of the oil. ”

Su Ziji suddenly remembered Qian Zhidong, the commander of the southwest, when he got off the boat, the scene of the soldiers dragging him like a wolf and a tiger was in front of him again.

"No wonder Qian Zhidong hates what he hates the most is that he has served the country and shed blood. ”

Su Ziji thought about it at this moment, and felt a chill, in the emperor's opinion, he was really not ready to set himself up, otherwise, the means would not be so desperate, and in the meantime, he really understood the unpredictable Tianwei and knew Qian Zhidong's mood.

The ox cart stopped, and in the drizzle, the gate of the king's mansion was opened, and a group of retainers came out to greet them.

"The king......" The wild Taoist walked in the front, observed with some concern, and saw that the look on the king's face was acceptable, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

The king was temporarily called away, and several retainers, including the Yedao people, were all uneasy.

After all, the capital shook and was suddenly called away, no matter what you think, something big happened.

"Go to the study and say. Su Ziji said lightly and walked in.

The wild Dao people exchanged glances with Cen Rubai and the others, and they all felt that the king reacted, afraid that when he came back this time, he would bring back shocking news.

This is not the place to speak, the retainers have their own hearts and minds, and hurriedly followed Su Ziji's footsteps.

"King!" When there was still some way to go from the study, a man walked slowly down the corridor and shouted towards him.

Su Ziji paused and looked towards him: "Wen Xunpeng?"

Wen Xunpeng has been recuperating in the small courtyard because of his injury, and he hurried over at this time, his face was not very good-looking, after all, he had been injured for a hundred days, although he was not fatally injured, but he also shed a lot of blood, and now he has not fully recuperated.

When Wen Xunpeng came to him, Su Ziji was a little surprised: "Mr. Wen, why did you come here in a hurry?" I heard the doctor say that your injury still needs to be recuperated for another half a month. ”

Wen Xunpeng hurriedly said: "Wang, so many things happened today, where can Wen still sit in the small courtyard? I heard that you were just called away by the chamberlain, Wen is really worried......

Thinking of the various preferential treatment given to him by the king during this period of time, looking at his eyes at this time, he was also full of concern and sincerity, Wen Xunpeng was moved in his heart, and said directly: "Wen is blessed by the king, and he is willing to serve the king!"

Su Ziji looked at Wen Xunpeng and smiled for a moment: "Mr. Wen is willing to follow this king, and this king welcomes him." ”

After his words came out, Wen Xunpeng was heartbroken, and when he heard that the acting king agreed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he came to the Acting King's Mansion and was taken in by the Acting King, and the Acting King sheltered him in front of the King of Qi, but for a while, he did not really become the retainer of the Acting King, and Wen Xunpeng felt that his heart was not implemented.

I didn't say it immediately before, because I was afraid that the acting king would misunderstand and hurt me, and I didn't want to leave a bad impression in the acting king's heart, but now I have a hunch that the acting king is afraid that he will have to make a big move, and if he can't participate in it at this moment, he will miss the opportunity to best integrate into the acting king's party.

The eyes of the wild people swept on Wen Xunpeng's face, and he retracted his smile: "Congratulations to the king, another general!"

Jian Qu's attitude was more insipid, but he also smiled and arched his hand towards Wen Xunpeng: "In the future, Mr. Wen and I will be colleagues." ”

Cen Rubai also smiled and said to Wen Xunpeng: "Welcome!"

Su Ziji said: "Mr. Wen, do you want to go back to rest? If your body can still hold on, go to the study with this king, and this king has something to tell you." ”

Wen Xunpeng was naturally happy and immediately expressed his willingness.

Arriving at the study, Su Ziji asked the soldiers to guard outside.

Entering, Su Ziji looked at the blooming gardenias outside the window in a trance, his eyes were melancholy, as if he was contemplative, he did not sit down immediately, he muttered for a long time, looked at the pen and ink on the table, studied the ink by himself, and wrote eight big characters on a piece of rice paper that had been paved: "The way of the university is in Mingmingde." ”

"Good word!" Several retainers can nourish their qi, although they know that something big must happen, they don't urge, they look around, this voice is Cen Rubai.

Cen Rubai, as a former prince and former minister, naturally didn't have to pick in terms of talent and learning, and some literati couldn't get up to the prince at all.

After a closer look, I feel that this word is elegant and mellow, and it is not a sword, but a majestic atmosphere!

Even words can bring out the king's spirit!

The more Cen Rubai looked at it, the more happy he felt, but the wild people didn't have this knowledge, but they had different feelings when they saw it.

"Whether the king's calligraphy is better or not, I don't have this taste, but the qi contained in it is indeed stronger, and it looks extremely expensive like the king's face. ”

In fact, not only them, but the other two can also see some differences.

Su Ziji's retainers who have collected them do not have a fuel-efficient lamp, unlike the three kings, who collect a bunch of them and take a streamlined route, each of which can top a few others.

Taking into account the reactions of several people, Su Ziji asked, "Do you know what this means?"

The wild Taoist thought for a while and said, "The way of the university is in Mingmingde...... The subordinates feel that virtue is the key. Where does virtue come from? From heaven! What is from heaven? Born with it, it is given by heaven, and this is virtue. ”

It can't be wrong to say that. Su Ziji nodded, this is the idea of many readers, thinking that virtue comes from the sky, because it is in the human body, so it can be said that people have their own nature.

Those who are virtuous are also gained by heaven.
