Be a master through ancient times

"Who do you say is a traitor?!" Prime Minister Zuo shouted, looking at Ji Ping sharply, as if he wanted to cut him into pieces.

Ji Ping was taken aback by him, Prime Minister Zuo had always been dignified in the court, he originally wanted to get close to him, but was reprimanded mercilessly, completely disregarding the dignity of his uncle from other countries.

"Of course it's you people who forged the imperial decree, appointed the crown prince privately, and tried to control the great Wei Dynasty. Are you worthy of the Holy Majesty?"

These words are what they have thought about a long time ago.In fact, the palace has changed, so what reputation do you care about?But everyone is also very happy to be able to occupy the righteousness, pull a fig leaf, and make the bright side look better.After all, when those literati scolded people, they were not usually vicious.

This slap in the face made everyone angry.

"Based on everything that the First Prince has done over the years, the Holy Majesty would be really foolish if he were to be chosen as the crown prince! You guys dare to rebel in this name, you really don't know what it means!"

The people from Yushitai also spoke up, this Ji Ping belonged to the empress, he naturally thought that they rebelled to make the eldest prince the emperor.

"Hahaha," Ji Ping laughed loudly, "Of course the Holy Majesty will not appoint the First Prince as the Crown Prince, he will obviously be the Second Prince. It's just that someone has selfish motives and thinks that an eight-year-old child is better controlled, so he forged the imperial decree. Read If you don't know the reason, this old man can let you go, as long as you are willing to regard the second prince as emperor."

The second prince is not outside at this time, he and the other princes and princesses are all in the palace of the mausoleum at this moment.They came in first. According to Qin Tianjian, this yin house needs some dragon energy to be in charge, so as to ensure the longevity of Zhang Guifei in the next life.

The palace was built relatively deep, and I don't know if they could hear the movement outside.But whether he heard it or not, there was nothing he could do about the situation in front of him.

Facing Ji Ping's shameless words, an old official from the Ministry of Rituals blushed with anger, and cursed hoarsely: "Bah! Shameless old thief, even if we die, we will not submit to you rebellious officials and thieves! It turns out that the eldest prince did not Lie, he is the son of Concubine Zhang! Empress... No, that poisonous woman of the Ji family has confused the blood of the royal family and done such things that cannot be tolerated by heaven and earth, she is not worthy of being the mother of the country!"

Ji Ping's face changed, and he said viciously: "Catch him, I want to see how tough his mouth can be when he is about to die!"

The two tall rebels walked down, and the old minister was quickly arrested. He had studied books and morality all his life, so naturally he would not insult his innocence when one foot was on the coffin. name.

He glanced at Ji Ping with disdain, and said: "If you want to kill or cut, it's up to you. It seems that you and other rebellious officials and thieves will have retribution sooner or later! The Holy Majesty will wake up soon, and you just wait for your family to be ransacked." !"

Ji Ping was angry at first, and then sneered: "It's a pity, you won't be able to see this scene."

He turned to look at the others, and threatened: "You all watch carefully, if you must fight against the old man, this is your fate! Those who are sensible should quickly kneel down and seek refuge with the Second Highness, and do it!"

"Wait a minute!"

A voice shouted, and the traitor who was about to wipe off the veteran's neck hesitated.He looked at Ji Ping, waiting for him to speak.

Ji Ping looked along the source of the sound, but for a moment he didn't see the person who made the sound.Soon, someone said "excuse me" and squeezed over from behind the crowd.This person is standing behind, it seems that he is not a member of the imperial court.

It is obviously very irrational for people who want to be strong at this time.Except for the super-rank and first-rank members standing at the front, the others were almost huddled together in fright, not daring to make a sound, for fear of being noticed by them.

"You are... Chuci?"

When he saw the person pushing up, Ji Ping hesitantly pronounced his name.He had only seen this person when he was in court that time, and he was more impressed by his eloquence than his appearance.And the queen also mentioned several times in the letter that he had to be guarded against.

"Exactly." Chu Ci arched his hands at him, and raised his head and smiled at him.

This move was completely different from the other ministers who glared at him. Ji Ping immediately became interested and forgot what the queen said.

"That sound just now, but you called it?"

Chu Ci said: "It's my servant. I was in a hurry just now, so I had to take the lead." He looked ashamed, as if he felt that it was unseemly to do so.

"Why did you stop the old man from killing him?" Ji Ping stared at him, wondering how he would answer.

Chu Ci sighed, and said, "Actually, I'm trying to stop you because I'm thinking of you. You can't kill this old man!"

Ji Ping snorted coldly: "Up to now, there is no one I can't kill. The guards outside have already been dealt with, and you can't escape even if you have wings."

"Your Excellency, you are wrong. Although killing people can be fun for a while, it leaves hidden dangers for the future. If one is not handled properly, it may come back to him." Chu Ci spoke earnestly, looking like me It's an expression for your good.

"Oh, what you said is interesting. Tell me, what's the hidden danger of killing him?" Anyway, they have to wait for the news from the palace, and now he has plenty of time to listen to this man.He didn't believe that with the Chu Ci in his hands, what kind of trouble could be made.

The ministers present did not make a sound. At this time, whether they hated Chu Ci or admired Chu Ci, they all admired his courage.Chu Ci has always been famous in the government and the public for his eloquence, and they also want to hear what Chu Ci will say, and whether they can save the life of the boss.

"There are too many hidden dangers. You want to kill him, isn't it just to scare the chickens and monkeys? Use his death to frighten us courtiers, so that everyone can worship the Second Highness as emperor under fear, right?"

Ji Ping really thought so, hearing the words, he just snorted: "So what?"

"Then have you ever thought that doing so will not only fail to scare the chickens and monkeys, but will also arouse the enthusiasm of the people below? He presided over the grand ceremony, right? Such a person was killed just because of a few words. Doesn’t it make people think that you are very narrow-minded? In this way, everyone will be in danger, and those who have offended you before will also think, Anyway, it’s a one-time death, so it’s better to let yourself die more heroically, and when the time comes, everyone will resist together, what will you do?”

Ji Ping really didn't think about the problem Chu Ci raised, but he has a solution: "If one person resists, one person will be killed, and if ten people resist, then ten people will be killed. This old man doesn't believe it. Everyone here is not afraid of death. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Ci sneered: "My lord's approach is really simple and rude, but this is still a solution."

Before Ji Ping was happy, a but word came.

"But... have you ever thought that if more people are killed, who will be the official? Who will manage the world? Even if the new emperor can ascend the throne, with his own strength, he may manage the entire Great Wei?"

Ji Ping was very unconvinced: "What's so difficult about being an official? If you kill them, most of them want to make up for it. Without him, Zhang Butcher, would the people still be able to eat hairy pigs?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, my lord, what you said is wrong. It is easy to be an official, but it is difficult to be a good official, and it is even more difficult to be a capable official! Without decades of accumulated experience, how can you deal with unexpected accidents? Can you deal with it? For example, snow disasters, floods, droughts, etc., do you want the people to complain when the new emperor takes the throne?"

Ji Ping was questioned. Although he felt aggrieved, he was self-aware.It's okay to do some chores, let him rule one side, and make suggestions is to embarrass him.It's not that his emperor's brother-in-law didn't promote them back then, but in the end they were all pushed down because of poor handling of affairs. In the entire court, his Ji family didn't even have the qualifications to go to the permanent court.The people who interacted with him were probably the same kind of people, assuming that those things were done by them, could it be done well?the answer is negative.

"According to what you said, I can't kill them, and I can't kill him either?" Ji Ping was very aggrieved.

Chu Ci nodded vigorously: "Of course! This is also for your sake."

Just as Ji Ping was about to nod, he suddenly realized something was wrong. He pointed at Chu Ci and said, "Okay, I was almost bypassed by you! You said it was for our sake, but how could I remember that I spoke for the eldest prince in the early court?" You are the person? You didn't support the second prince at the time!"

Chu Ci, who was pointed at by him, did not feel guilty at all when he heard his words.He said: "At that time, the crown prince was in charge of the country, so I naturally had to follow his wishes. Now that the situation has changed, now and then, I naturally have to start thinking about the new emperor."

This upright look made Ji Ping lose his voice for a while, and made the ministers glare at Chu Ci.They thought that Chu Ci wanted to save Master Yu's life, so they made false claims with him, but they didn't expect that this person would take advantage of the wind, and had already planned to join the traitors, and keeping them was just to make them traitors Just work!

"Bah! Shameless boy, I don't need you to put on a show here!" Mrs. Yu stared at him fiercely, "I thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect you to be a nest with them and turn against each other. Are you worthy of your majesty? "

Chu Ci smiled disdainfully: "Master Yu, haven't you heard the saying that a good bird chooses a tree to live in? Besides, what you said is wrong, what a nest of snakes and rats, the Second Highness is also the blood of the Holy One! We are just If you want to find a wise king for the Holy Majesty, it's fine if you don't help, but if you still oppose it, you will be sorry for the Holy Majesty! Lord Ji, are you right?"

"Hahaha!" Ji Ping looked at them so angry that he couldn't refute, and he felt extremely happy. This Chu Ci is indeed a talent. If he had stood by them long ago, why would he have to suffer all those injustices for nothing? .

He patted Chu Ci on the shoulder and praised: "As expected of the number one scholar of Sanyuan Jidi, he is much more interesting than you ordinary people. I remember that you, you, and you all supported Li Er at the beginning. Your Highness is the prince, why are you not happy to satisfy you now?"

The people he pointed out all looked aggrieved.

"At the beginning, I thought that he was a man of civil and martial arts, and he was lenient to others, and he had the appearance of a sage, so I recommended him." Compared with Yu Ji, who doesn't look outstanding?

"Because the Holy Majesty appointed the crown prince, I regretted giving up. Now it seems that the Holy Majesty was right. He and his mother killed the adoptive mother and framed his elder brother. Now he dares to rebel. We were blind at the beginning. Recommend him as the crown prince!"
