Chapter 209: The People's Aspirations
"Does Mr. Zhang mean that the Yuan Dynasty is already a camel on the verge of death?" said Emperor Yuan Hui half-jokingly, his eyes sweeping Zhang Wuji intentionally or unintentionally. X
Zhang Wuji knew that Emperor Yuan Hui was testing him, and he was ready to take precautions in his heart, so he didn't seem flustered, and said with a smile: "That's just a metaphor, the emaciated camels are bigger than the horses, what if the Yuan Dynasty is a lion who wakes up? ”
Zhang Wuji's words not only expressed his unwillingness to help the imperial court, but also his unwillingness to help Siye, and in the end, whoever won the world, he could withdraw from it.
However, his idea is good, but it does not mean that Emperor Yuan Hui will give him such an opportunity, Emperor Yuan Hui summoned him to the palace to see him to see what talent he has and whether he can be reused by the imperial court.
Zhang Wuji wanted to leave the matter behind, how could he allow it?
"Mr. Zhang is so old, don't you want to make contributions and solve problems for me?" Emperor Yuan Hui looked at Zhang Wuji with a smile and said, this half-joking tone did not make Zhang Wuji relax, because he could hear that what Emperor Yuan Hui said was the same as a joke, in fact, it was his inner thoughts.
Seeing that he had been staring at his eyes, Zhang Wuji knew that this Emperor Yuan Hui was also a difficult target.
If he wasn't tough, he wouldn't have been able to take down the former prime minister Boyan with an iron fist and support his nephew to become the new prime minister.
Because he has such wisdom and courage, he dares to think and do, so Boyan was defeated, and he controlled the world of Huiyuanmeng.
"I have the heart to sweep away the turbulent world for the emperor, but ...... I can't afford to work for the people of the Central Plains......" Zhang Wuji sighed softly: "I have my own mission, and I can't participate in the struggle for imperial power in the world, it's really helpless!"
"Oh, I don't know what special mission Mr. Zhang has, so that he can't fight the world for me?" asked Emperor Yuan Hui with a puzzled expression.
"Master Sanfeng Ancestor has said first, I must not participate in the battle for imperial power between the government and the opposition, everything has its own fixed number, forcibly participating will only make me die, it doesn't matter if I die, but I can't harm the Yuan Dynasty like me, let's end up like this!" Zhang Wuji said helplessly.
sighed in his heart, he always felt that this lame reason couldn't hide from Emperor Yuan Hui.
Sure enough, Emperor Yuan Hui smiled and said, "Since Mr. has said that it is destined, the victory or defeat has already had a result." In this way, Mr. has no harm in solving problems for me, I just want the people of the world to be fed and clothed, and I have no competitive heart. ”
Zhang Wuji was about to shake his head, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Liu Kui's eyes, and suddenly realized that if he refused at this time, wouldn't it be tantamount to telling Emperor Yuan Hui that the Yuan Dynasty would be defeated and the Han people would win?
If you can't answer like this, how should you answer it? For a while, Zhang Wuji groaned, and after a long time, he said tentatively: "Since Your Majesty has no competitive heart...... It's better to ......."
Liu Kui's eyes hurriedly signaled, with an eager look, as if to say don't talk nonsense, talking nonsense may not be good in front of Emperor Yuan Hui, but Emperor Yuan Hui will definitely have to make trouble for you when you turn around.
Emperor Yuan Hui, this is a very shrewd person, it is very likely that he can figure out a person's mind with just a few words, such a person has a keen sense of smell, if Zhang Wuji says something unpleasant, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of Emperor Yuan Hui.
Although Zhang Wuji was clean and did not participate in the anti-Yuan rebel army, Zhang Wuji went to Suzhou City some time ago, and Liu Kui also knew that when he went to Suzhou City, would Zhang Shicheng of Dafeng City not look for him? That was obviously impossible.
Once Emperor Yuan Hui investigates what happened to Zhang Wuji during his time in Suzhou City, it is inevitable that he will not be suspicious.
"Why don't you let go of the Great Yuan and return to the grassland?" asked Emperor Yuan Hui with a smile.
"Don't dare to ......" Zhang Wuji hurriedly clenched his fists, although he really wanted to say directly, or you return to the grassland, let me complete the task! But looking at the slight devouring light in Emperor Yuan Hui's eyes, he knew that once he really said this, then he really couldn't leave the palace.
Do you want to watch your love points all deducted?
"Then I don't know what Master Zhang means?" asked Emperor Yuan Hui.
As soon as he heard Emperor Yuan Hui's title changed, Zhang Wuji shook his head and said, "Hey, Actually, Your Majesty doesn't have to pay too much attention to what I say, I just don't spit out some things and am unhappy, and now it seems that it is okay not to say it." ”
"Presumptuous, if the emperor asks you to say it, you can say it. The prime minister took off his slightly angry look at this time and snorted coldly.
"The emperor asked me to say it, and I would naturally say it, but the emperor didn't force me to say it, and I have the right not to say it. "Zhang Wuji is not interested in this detachment of prime ministers, although the other party is the prime minister, but it has nothing to do with him!
You can't threaten me just because you're the prime minister, right? Besides, the emperor is not in a hurry, what are you eunuchs anxious about, although you are not a eunuch, I already treat you as a eunuch, Zhang Wuji thought to himself.
"But if Prime Minister Ben asks you to say it now, you have to say it. "The prime minister is majestic, and he is still quite imposing, and his eyes are glaring angrily.
"Your Majesty, do you really want to hear it?" Zhang Wuji's face was a little unpleasant, did he really want to say it? In order to complete the task, he offended Emperor Yuan Hui?
"Zhang, but it doesn't hurt to say. Emperor Yuan Hui still had a warm smile.
"That'...... I said it boldly. Zhang Wuji pondered for a long time and said: "Now the people's hearts are oriented towards the Han Dynasty, and the Celestial Empire suppressed our Han people some time ago, resulting in increased taxes and unequal status, resulting in serious dissatisfaction among the people. ”
At this time, the Celestial Empire forcibly conscripted soldiers, resulting in the displacement of civilians and the fragmentation of families. Maybe the emperor's amnesty will win the favor of the people, but you are equivalent to slapping the people in the face and rewarding the people with a candy. ”
"The people are not stupid, they generally don't say, don't argue, pay silently, but often the people's will is the trend of the world, there is a good saying, water can carry the boat can also overturn the boat. ”
"Today's torment of the people by the Celestial Empire is the end of the return of the people in the future. ”
"The Celestial Empire has enslaved the Han Dynasty for a hundred years, and the people's will has lived up to the past, and fighting again will only lead to the destruction of the last vestiges of prestige in the Heavenly Kingdom, and the people will unite to overthrow the tyranny of the Celestial Empire. ”
"Although the Celestial Empire has begun to reform, the torture they have suffered after years of slavery is all vented at this juncture. ”
"What the big man lacks now is just a time......
Zhang Wuji endured the panic in his heart, said what he wanted to say, and told Emperor Yuan Hui from the side to stop fearless resistance, anyway, the final result was the defeat of the Yuan Dynasty.
After listening to Zhang Wuji's words, Emperor Yuan Hui pondered for a long time, but the eyes of the prime minister on the side looked directly into Zhang Wuji's eyes with anger...... r
