Chapter 509 On Traitors

Shen Liuzhen felt a pain in his heart, feeling unwilling.But knowing that Xie Yuan was stubborn, he didn't refute her.Instead, he said shamelessly:
"Even if that's the case, it doesn't matter, then I will stay in your general's mansion without a name or a place, and hang around every day. Who can do anything to me?"

Xie Yuan couldn't help laughing, but soon there was sadness in his eyes.

She seems to owe Shen Liuzhen too much...

At this moment, Sun Tian outside the door said loudly:

"General, Shen Guozhu knew that you were grounded, so he sent someone to send a letter."

Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen heard the outsider's voice, and immediately separated, pretending to be indifferent, and standing still.

"Send it in." Xie Yuan cleared his throat and said.

As soon as Sun Tian opened the door, he saw them standing side by side. One was dressed in the uniform of a military general, and the other was a Confucian scholar's toga with long sleeves. They were very different, but inexplicably harmonious and well matched.

And... There is a vague embarrassment in the room...

Sun Tian lowered his eyes, enshrined the letter with both hands neatly, turned around and backed out neatly, and closed the door behind them.

Xie Yuan opened the letter, and Shen Liuzhen moved closer to her. The two stood next to each other, and looked down at the letter paper together.Then they frowned in embarrassment...

His father, Shen Qingzhi, was not well educated, and he dictated letters to others, and others wrote them for him.

They are all in plain language, easy to understand... and this feeling of anger spreads over the face, just like his old man yelling in front of his face:
"Why do you always choose to enter the palace when I'm not around? Is it on purpose? I've been busy these days to help you find someone, talk to you, and go in and out of all kinds of people, just want to find someone Satisfied with the compromise.

You had some clues just now, and you made a big fuss in the meeting hall, and did things according to your own wishes? ! !

How can you do that!Do you still see me as a master in your eyes? !

What are you trying to do by making such a fuss?Want to be a courtier?Want to be a traitor who controls the government?You don't want to live anymore? !
Is Liu Zhen still with you?I can't tell him to tell you!Ask him face to face, are you doing this stupid thing right? ! "

Shen Liuzhen withdrew his gaze, looked at Xie Yuan beside him, touched his nose and said:
"You won't be... arrange the generals of the city defense battalion as your own people, right?"

Xie Yuan took the letter paper, folded it back into the envelope, and said very confidently:

"Yes. I know Master disagrees, but I insist on doing so, and now it's done."

Shen Liuzhen turned around slowly, thought carefully, and said:

"You have read military books, and Sun Tzu's Art of War says: Soldiers are deceitful.

Therefore, if you can, you can show what you can't, if you use it, you can show what you don't use. If you are near, you show it's far.

Lure it for profit, take it for chaos, and prepare it for reality.

Avoid it when you are strong, scratch it when you are angry, be arrogant when you are humble, work when you are lost, leave you if you are close, attack when you are unprepared, and catch him by surprise. "

He paused, then turned around and said:

"There is nothing here that teaches you to fight hard. A Yuan, sometimes showing weakness is also a strategy."

Xie Yuan frowned impatiently, turned around and sat back, put the letter on the table, and said:

"This is not a matter of showing weakness or not showing weakness at all. What Master means is to maintain balance, and it is still the same as before, with checks and balances arranged by all parties.

However, such a lesson has been learned, and the price is heavy. If this continues, it will be a dead end, so I advocate that it must be changed! "

Shen Liuzhen also followed and sat down, with a calm voice, persuasive, and said:

"Then do you know why they arranged it like this? If they could really become united, regardless of you and me, then they would have changed a long time ago. It is because they have their own ghosts that they have to make such a bad plan."

Xie Yuan said coldly:

"I know...but do you want me to watch them go on like this? I don't care how they have their own agendas, I just know that this job is in my hands, and I have to do it well. From now on, the three camps outside the city They are all my confidantes, I can do everything I can, and no one can separate me, so that's good."

"If you do this, what will others think of you? A treacherous minister? It is estimated that tomorrow morning, everyone will join the little emperor. You have ulterior motives..."

"I am dedicated to the public, and I have a clear conscience." Xie Yuan was very calm, as if she had thought about these things a long time ago and was prepared.

"You are dedicated to the public, but others can't believe it..." Shen Liuzhen stretched out his wide sleeves and persuaded her earnestly, "People's hearts are always judged by themselves. How many people in this world are as simple as you?" Another single-minded person? Their minds are full of fighting for power, and you expect them to believe that you will be dedicated to the public?"

"It's fine if you don't believe it. I have military power and His Majesty's imperial decree. If you don't believe me, you have to hold back!" Xie Yuan said coldly, Danfeng's eyes were astonishingly powerful.

Shen Liuzhen said "Huh?" in surprise, and asked:
"So, are you really going to be a traitorous minister who is good at controlling power?"

Xie Yuan looked at him, and asked dissatisfiedly: "When did I say that I would be a traitor?!"

Shen Liuzhen said:

"Isn't this obvious? Just that little emperor with soft ears, his imperial decree can't be directed towards you all the time.

Maybe tomorrow morning, he couldn't bear the advice of his ministers and changed his mind.How do you make those people shut up and hold back?

Can't you just refute your little emperor's will and make up your own mind?You have the power in your hands, you don't listen to the imperial decree, on the contrary, let the emperor listen to you, that's what Cao Cao did back then. "

Shen Liuzhen laughed as he spoke, moved closer to Xie Yuan, pressed his elbows on the table and said:

"Hey... Actually, I quite support you in doing this."

Xie Yuan pursed her lips, her eyes flickered, and she was silent in thought. After a while, she murmured:

"I just want to do my own thing well, why is it so difficult..."

Shen Liuzhen looked at Xie Yuan's side face, the smile on his face gradually disappeared...

A Yuan is too difficult, it has always been difficult, and it is so rare that it makes people feel distressed.

It is difficult for a heterogeneous person to live, and it is the easiest and smoothest to be in the same boat.

For example, since he knew that the human heart is sinister, he has learned very well, even more sinister than anyone else...

But A Yuan is not such a person.

Shen Liuzhen lowered his eyes and stopped talking.

After a while, Xie Yuan said firmly:

"You have to give it a try. Liu Zhen, I won't reply to the letter, you go back and tell the master what I mean. Everyone has their own ghosts and schemes against each other, and it will not last long. If this continues, the Song Dynasty will definitely end.

If Wei Guo calls once, it will be over if you say goodbye... A traitorous minister should be a traitorous minister, it is better than letting me watch the country perish.You tell him that on the face of it, we, master and apprentice, should not communicate frequently, so as not to implicate him. "
