Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 414 It’s better to speak clearly

Zhao Mu waved his hand and said, "That's all, now is not the time to worry about these things. Ju Jian! Give him a Nine-turn Bear Snake Pill."

"Yes!" Although Ju Jian disliked Fang Shisan very much, as she said herself, she must obey the master's orders unconditionally.

With that said, Ju Jian took out the medicine bottle of Jiuzhuan Xiongshewan from his arms, and then took out a spiritual elixir from Lingjiu Palace and handed it to Fang Shisan.

After Fang Shisan took it, he ate it directly.

Zhao Mu saw this and said, "Aren't you afraid that what I gave you is poison?"

Jiuzhuan Xiongshewan, the number one miracle drug in Lingjiu Palace, takes effect immediately after taking it.

Fang Shisan felt that his internal and external injuries were getting better. He wiped the blood from his face, then stood up slowly and said, "Of course I'm not afraid. If you want to kill me, there's no need for such a dirty trick as poisoning."

Zhao Mu smiled and said: "Haha, you have courage." As he said this, he waved his hand at Sijian, who then withdrew his weapon.

Zhao Mu ordered: "Clean up. It is always inappropriate to welcome guests in a place like this. Come to the front hall with me."

Zhao Mu sat down on the main seat, while Fang Shisan and Hu Yanjin, who were embarrassed, sat down on both sides.

After saying that, Zhao Mu walked towards the front hall with his hands behind his back, while Fang Shisan followed behind.

But Hu Yanjin didn't care. She was still a girl who had not left the government. What's more, she brought Fang Shisan. She had to go and have a look because of the situation.

After a while, the three of them arrived in the front hall.

Although Mu Wanqing also came from a martial arts background, she is now married as a woman, so she naturally has to abide by the ways of a woman, although she dare not say that she will not leave the door without leaving the door. But it was still inconvenient for her to see guests.

However, Fang Shisan also asked with some doubts at this time: "Your Highness King Qi, there is something I don't understand right now. You know that I am a rebel, why did you give up a spiritual pill to save me? I heard that Ling Jiuzhuan Xiongshewan, the magical medicine of Jiugong, is very rare, and the snake gall of the Bodhisattva is extremely rare. You are willing to give me this medicine."

Zhao Mu replied: "The reason is simple. I don't want you to die now. In other words, there is room for us to cooperate."

Fang Shisan smiled and said: "Oh? Cooperation? Aren't you afraid that our Ming Cult will overthrow your Song Dynasty?" Zhao Mu said with a smile: "Haha, first of all you don't have the ability. Now our Song Dynasty has strong soldiers and strong horses, and the country is prosperous and the people are attached to it. In my eyes, you are just little loaches that can make a splash. How big a storm can a little loach make? What's more, I know what your Ming religion teaches about "doing good and eliminating evil". If you look at it from ordinary people's perspective, you are not purely good people or evil people, but I still appreciate your upholding the right philosophy."

"Besides, I have always employed people based on talent rather than virtue, and profit regardless of heart. Even if you will rebel in the future, that will be a matter of the future. Right now, we still have room for cooperation, or in other words, we have the same interests to seize. , or maintenance. Okay, let’s talk about the conditions now. What do you want from me?”

Fang Shisan shook his head and said: "At this point, His Highness King Qi underestimates us. We don't want to get anything from you. To be honest, if it is not an emergency, I don't want to talk to you people from the Song Dynasty government. It doesn’t matter at all. But if I really want to ask for something from you, then I would like to ask you to advise the emperor of the Song Dynasty and ask him to clarify the management of officials and the health of the people. "

Zhao Mu said: "Your request is what His Majesty is doing now. It's just to refresh the administration. This is easy to say. You can say it as soon as your upper lip touches your lower lip. But if you really want to do it, I'm afraid this It takes a long time.”

Fang Shisan listened to Zhao Mu's perfunctory words, rolled his eyes at him and said, "Haha, that's what you superiors are like. As soon as you are sympathized with the sufferings of the people, you start to use various excuses. Obviously you can do it with just one word. You decide the life and death of those dog officials, but you just don’t do it.”

When Zhao Mu heard the angry young man's words from Fang Shisan, he smiled and said, "Haha, I'm still a bit younger."

When Fang Shisan heard Zhao Mu's ridicule, he replied: "Are you very old?"

Zhao Mu stood up and said, "What I'm talking about is not the issue of age, but the attitude towards the problem. First of all, it is true that you said that we can determine life and death with just one sentence. But whether it can determine life or death also depends on evidence. The court has its own set of rules, and the arena has its own set of rules. In the arena, the strong are respected. If you commit murder and offend your enemies, you can just leave."

"Even the government will turn a blind eye as long as the matter is not too big and the impact is too bad. But in the court, it is not so easy to kill people. When Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty killed Han Xin, Peng Yue "

Fang Shisan sneered and said: "Sophistry! Those corrupt officials have done so much evil that it's hard to describe! Plus the officials protect each other. This"

Before Fang Shisan finished speaking, Zhao Mu said: "Where is the evidence? I also know that they are corrupt and bend the law. I also know that they bully the good and the officials protect each other, but you have no evidence to prove them. There is no human or physical evidence. This How to convict them? Just kill them like a charlatan. Isn't it just killing innocent people without any evidence? "

When Fang Shisan heard this, he was stunned. Because he didn't know how to refute Zhao Mu. This is because what Zhao Mu said is indeed true.

Seeing Fang Shisan stunned, he continued: "And a court official was suddenly killed, so who is responsible for the local security, prisons, criminal laws, and peace of the people? If a place loses the governance of the government, then he will be very It will soon become a chaotic world without order. I don’t think I need to explain to you what a chaotic world is like.”

Fang Shisan couldn't defeat Zhao Mu, so he said: "I'm not here to argue with you about these things. Anyway, as long as you officials create a peaceful world, we can't do the opposite even if we think about it. Okay! Since you don't Kill me and I’ll leave.”

Zhao Mu said: "Wait a minute, you haven't answered my question yet. I always want to know why you didn't accept Princess Zhao's conditions. Just because it doesn't comply with your teachings doesn't convince me. I also want to know more. Too many details, otherwise how would I know if you want to use counter-insurgency tactics to drive a wedge between Song and Liao, which is about to be healed? If I fell into your trap and let Song and Liao start war again, wouldn't I be the one to take advantage of you? Have you been fooled? Besides, as long as the troops are deployed at the border, the other side will be forced to start a war even if they don't intend to. So, you'd better make this clear before you leave."
