When leaving Hu Sheng's cell, Meng Shaoqing dug his ears in disgust: "It was very noisy!"
Su Xubai walked to Meng Shaoqing: "You didn't ask anything and just left like that?"
"It's all conclusive evidence, what's there to ask?" Meng Shaoqing laughed, "Looking at his look, you might think that he is fighting for something that doesn't exist for a boy from a poor family like him.
fair!"
Su Xubai walked slowly: "There is indeed an insurmountable gap between aristocratic families and poor families. We started learning at the age of three and have always been the best teachers in reading and calligraphy. Our starting point is much higher than theirs, not to mention that most of the aristocratic families have in-laws.
, it is common to help and support each other, and it is indeed hard for children from poor families to be helpless and helpless in the court!"
"So, our Prime Minister Hao has caught the thoughts of the poor people, and threatened to be their backer, their support in the court, and let these scholars work for his dream of a noble family.
Working hard, in the final analysis, it’s just that he understands people’s hearts too well!” Meng Shaoqing sneered.
"Actually, every time there is an update, new aristocratic families will rise, and old aristocratic families will collapse. From the beginning, every aristocratic family will only be a member of a poor family!" Su Xubai said helplessly, "Isn't it that my father just relied on his own wealth?
A pair of hands, working hard bit by bit!"
"Who isn't!" Meng Shaoqing sneered, "Whose ancestors didn't walk on the ground barefoot!"
In the final analysis, Prime Minister Hao used this method to win over these civil servants born from poor families to consolidate his own status and preach that he would share opportunities with aristocratic families. In fact, it was just a gimmick. If he really thought so, then he would not
I will squeeze my head out of my way to squeeze into the table of the famous family in Beijing.
Meng Shaoqing was too lazy to waste time on this matter and was unwilling to see Mr. Li again, so Su Xubai went alone.
Mr. Li, like Hu Sheng, was locked up in a cell alone. Compared to Hu Sheng's madness, Mr. Li tidied himself up meticulously, not even a hair fell on his face. When he saw Su Xubai
, he also stood up and bowed to him politely.
Su Xubai didn't mean to look down upon him at all, and responded with a salute: "Master Li!"
"Why did Master Su come here alone?" Master Li looked at Meng Shaoqing and asked softly.
"Meng Shaoqing's temper can't bear to come here to talk to Master Li!" Su Xubai said with a smile, "Master Li, I'm just here to go through the motions. As for some things, it depends on you whether you are willing to talk about it or not.
On your own!"
Mr. Li looked at Meng Shaoqing and smiled: "Mr. Su, do you still remember that when you first came here, I accompanied General Meng to the dam to see the disaster scene?"
"Of course I remember it!" Su Xubai pulled up a chair and sat down in front of Mr. Li.
Mr. Li was not rigid and sat down on the stone bench inside, and then said softly: "That was not the first time I went there. When the flood broke the dam that day, I was there. I used all my strength to
Let those people leave there. They ran in a hurry, but the flood was so fierce. I saw with my own eyes a village that was washed away in an instant. There were shouts and cries everywhere. The village that was still laughing and laughing the day before,
Collapse in an instant!"
Su Xubai didn't speak, just listened quietly.
"Speaking of it this way, it sounds like I am a good official who loves his people like his own children, right?" Mr. Li laughed at himself, "But in the end, no one expected that it was me, I was the one who accompanied Mr. Hu and was swallowed up together.
Those disaster relief funds pushed my villagers into the abyss!"
"Mr. Li has always been childless. At first, I thought it was because of Mrs. Li's poor health. It wasn't until I saw those vessels wrapped in cinnabar that I realized that Mister Li actually didn't dare to have children!
"Su Xubai looked at Mr. Li and said lightly.
Master Li slowly raised his head and looked at Su Xubai: "Why did Master Su say that?"
"Mr. Li's parents died young, and it was his uncle who brought him up. Unfortunately, when Mr. Li just won the election, this uncle had already passed away. Mr. Li has no relatives in this world. If he has relatives, he will have
If you have a weakness, you will be hindered by others!" Su Xubai said softly, "People who want to do great things must not have an obvious weakness!"
"Master Su is young, but he has great foresight!" Master Li smiled, "Yes, I don't want to have any weaknesses. The weaknesses will kidnap me and make it difficult for me to move!"
"But not having a weakness will make you too invulnerable, so you have to create a weakness that seems real to others!" Su Xubai sighed, "Master Li, is it worth it?"
"It's worth it!" Mr. Li looked at Su Xubai with bright eyes, "In my life, I am worthy of heaven, worthy of earth, worthy of my ancestors, worthy of your majesty, and worthy of the people of the world. The only one I am sorry for is her!
"
The so-called she is the crazy lady who was locked up in the small courtyard.
Su Xubai looked at Mr. Li for a long time. He probably understood why Mr. Li, who once loved the people like his own son, chose to turn a blind eye before such a big disaster. He knew clearly that when the crime occurred, his whole family might die, but
But he still chose to play this game of chess.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will arrive in a while. Mr. Li should talk to His Highness the Crown Prince about many things. Mr. Li has the world in his heart and should not just die like this!" Su Xubai stood up slowly and bowed to Mr. Li, "
People always say that when parents love their children, their plans are far-reaching, but I would say that Mr. Li’s love for the people of Huizhou is really far-reaching!”
Mr. Li's eyes flashed slightly, as if he was a little moved.
After a long time, Mr. Li returned the greeting and said nothing again.
When Su Xubai left the cell, he only felt that his heart was filled with depression. He stood there, looking at the bright sun outside, and felt that his heart was filled with depression.
"Master, you are here!" Silan saw Su Xubai and walked over quickly.
"What's wrong?" Su Xubai was a little surprised when he saw Isatis, "What happened?"
"There is a secret message!" Silan Lan took out a letter from her arms and handed it to Su Xubai.
Su Xubai looked at the seal on it, frowned, and quickly opened it. After a while, his expression suddenly changed: "A plague broke out in Yangzhou. His Majesty the Prince's troops are trapped in Yangzhou. We have to send people to respond!"
"Isn't it dangerous to send people out of the city at this time?" Silk Lan was a little surprised.
"I'll go!" Su Xubai put the letter away, "Someone is in charge in Huizhou. I'll go find Meng Shaoqing and assemble a team. We'll set off in half an hour!"
Although Woad was a little surprised, she still responded: "Yes!"
