It is impossible to punish adults

Chapter 523
"Indeed." Yuan Mu agreed with Mu Liuyun, "Father said he was a smart man."

"Then do you know that those talented people who have been promoted to Daizhou by Mr. Wu these years, are they being used in any way now?" Mu Liuyun asked Yuan Mu in a low voice curiously.

Yuan Mu shook his head: "I have never heard that Daizhou is really remote, and there is no rule that you cannot enter the capital if you are summoned, so the news from there will not be easily spread to the capital, so the people who are transferred to Daizhou, except Except for a few who were transferred to other places within a few years, most of them were like mud cows when they arrived there, and there is no news now."

Mu Liuyun frowned. He was so secretive and had no information, so it was really difficult to judge what kind of plan this destitute grandson was planning, whether he was quietly brewing some terrifying plan, or whether he had other plans.

"I think looking back, our Master Wu must have used a trick to advance in order to retreat, right?" She shared her thoughts with Yuan Mu, "You said that because he supported the crown prince before, so Feeling that the way is different and not for the sake of conspiracy, voluntarily abandoning the official position and returning to the hometown to support the elderly, is it not really not wanting to serve? I think it is clearly a retreat to advance!
If he had supported the abolished prince for a long time, but in the end he had surrendered to the late emperor so easily. With the late emperor's temperament, he had acquired such a talented person so effortlessly, would he not be muttering in his heart? "

"I'm afraid I can't." Yuan Mu shook his head, "The late emperor was very suspicious, even though my father had sacrificed his life to save him, he only confirmed his father's loyalty through secret observation, and became really close to this cousin.

If Mr. Wu had surrendered to the late emperor without saying a word back then, I am afraid that the late emperor would either feel that there was a difference in his heart, or that Mr. Wu's character was unfaithful. He could easily betray the abolished prince and support others to be king. It will be the same. "

"Yes! Although I didn't know Mr. Wu before, but after thinking about it, it's not difficult to find that this is his cleverness!" Mu Liuyun sighed, "He showed a very strong performance. After the abolished prince lost power, He immediately resigned and returned to his hometown, preferring to live in the countryside rather than be an official in the court.

However, the more he was like this, the more the late emperor felt that this person was really loyal, righteous and talented. In order to prove that he was more powerful than the abolished prince, he would naturally try his best to win him over, hoping that such a person could finally be accepted. Inspired, willing to use it for yourself, so that you can be satisfied no matter from the community or from the heart!
Mr. Wu only needs to grasp the fire, and when the time is right, he will re-enter the official position with half push and half. It seems that he has decided to give up his original position, recognize the late emperor as the emperor, and is willing to be loyal to the late emperor and assist the late emperor. In fact, his own position There has never been any change at all, and I have never given up!
He occupies the position of the Ministry of Officials, as long as things are done beautifully, there is no leakage, and there are many convenient conditions, he can gather talented people to his side and to the generation of Daizhou, the fiefdom of the abolished prince, without anyone noticing.

Especially after the new emperor succeeded to the throne, unlike the suspicious nature of the previous emperor, the new emperor seemed to be more gentle and kind. Adhering to the way of employing people without doubt, he can be more unscrupulous, and those who are willing to be used by him will be placed in the positions planned by him To help the deposed grandson secretly recruit soldiers and horses, and those who refused to be used by him, they simply found some excuse to get rid of them secretly.

Recently, judging from this posture, he probably didn't even bother to cover it up. He felt that his power was almost accumulated, so he should start to make arrangements, colluding with the barbarians, and at the same time spreading rumors and nonsense among the people. "

The more Mu Liuyun thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and when he thought about Wu Zhiqiu's two previous meetings with Yuan Mu, he was very angry: "Think about it." Look, if he had really given up on his original obsession long ago, and wholeheartedly assisted the late emperor and supported the new emperor, then he and the prince would not have any differences in political views or camps, so why bother to bring such an attitude when he saw you? What about hostility?"

Yuan Mu didn't speak, frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head: "If it is said that Wu Zhiqiu has his schemes in it, I agree with that. I agree with you that he plans to retreat in order to advance, but colluding with the barbarians However, it is not quite like the style of his and the deposed Taisun's team.

Although Mr. Wu and our Zhongyong County King's family have different positions earlier, so the relationship is not very harmonious, but after so many years in the court, Wu Zhiqiu, as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, can still see his character, words and deeds, no matter whether you are I like him, he is generally regarded as a gentleman, and he has never done anything sinister.

In addition, although the Daizhou area is also located on the border, it is close to the border of our Darui Dynasty, but over the years, there have been stories of barbarians crossing the border and causing trouble elsewhere, but the Daizhou area has always been quiet .

Although the abandoned Taisun did not have any general ambitions, his temperament was like a wild crane. In other things, he was too big and he could get by. Only in the matter of guarding the border, he never slackened in the slightest. "

"It turned out to be like this?!" Mu Liuyun was a little surprised.

Yuan Mu nodded: "That's true. After I found signs of barbarians disguised as bandits in Yuyong County, I sent people to collect information and found that there were very few such incidents caused by barbarians in Daizhou area, and There is also the strictest restriction on the border guards there, and it is very rare to even do business with the barbarians, so it is even more difficult for the barbarians to cross the border through Daizhou.

It can be said that Wu Zhiqiu is loyal and single-minded to Prince Fei's lineage. In this way, his words and deeds will naturally follow the grandson of Prince Fei's going, and take his orders as the criterion.

If it is said that the abolished grandson wants to recruit talented people from all over the world to use for him, in order to fight for imperial power one day, I can't guarantee that he will or won't do that, but the abolished grandson himself is very afraid of barbarians, so what can he do? Maybe go against the intention of abolishing the grandson and colluding with the barbarians? "

Hearing what he said, Mu Liuyun could only nod his head to express his agreement. If Wu Zhiqiu was the kind of character who was obedient and obedient, that would be a different story, but he was the kind of character who would rather make compromises and make progress by retreating. Opportunity continues to fight for the loyal "orthodoxy" to regain the throne.

Such a person would not take every word of the abolished grandson's branch as a golden rule, at least he would not have any disobedience on such an important matter.
