Everyone says that "Refuting Qi Shaobao's Sophistry in the Past" is indeed a rare and good article.
His writing is like a surging river, and his rhetoric is like a fairy tale from Langyuan, which makes people marvel at it.
The result of the surprise was naturally the scolding of Empress Su for overstepping the rules and disrupting the government.
Objectively speaking, the response from the public has been quite strong.
Of course, this is something Qi Yu is happy to hear.
Compared with the waves among the people, the reaction in the political arena seems a bit calm. In fact, there is not even the slightest ripple.
His Majesty the Emperor, in particular, showed a completely indifferent attitude. He neither made any judgment nor asked about the details, but simply ignored it.
Qi Yu sighed in secret, his face full of disappointment.
He never expected that the emperor would compromise as before.
Unlike the emperor who was indifferent, the queen's reaction was quite intense.
Immediately, she sent Wang Zhifan out to investigate.
The latter naturally did not dare to neglect. He first conducted a comprehensive investigation of the printing workshop. After finding no results, he changed to visit the home of the "seemingly suspicious" official.
In addition to the above, he also deployed a number of spies in the city to implement strict surveillance.
However, in the eyes of the experienced Huang Fei, these methods of his were completely childish.
Haha, don't call it a clue, I won't let you even touch a chicken feather.
Huang Fei saw this and made some adjustments in response to the situation.
It is foreseeable that Wang Zhifan's efforts will be in vain.
However, in Qi Yu's view, the same was true for his efforts, and he gained nothing.
This time, I originally wanted to use the emperor's hand to put pressure on the queen, but now, it has turned into a secret 'spy war' between myself and Su Liu. What is this if it is not in vain?
Alas, it's no use just sighing, it's better to think more about what to do next!
"Husband, when I meet my concubine, I don't know whether to tell her the truth or not." Yin Tao said in a gentle voice while rubbing her husband's brow that was formed into the word "Chuan".
Qi Yu was slightly startled when he heard this and said, "If Tao'er has any better solution, please tell me quickly."
Yin Tao nodded and replied: "Although I am not familiar with political secrets, I understand the principle of 'the lesser of two evils'. I think that the emperor is indifferent, not because he is indifferent and turns a blind eye, but because he feels
, the consequences of severely punishing the queen are far greater than letting her off. It is precisely for this reason that I took such a stance."
"Well, that makes sense!" Qi Yu first expressed his approval, and then asked: "In Tao'er's opinion, how should my husband break this situation?"
Yin Tao smiled sweetly and said: "Men, do you still remember that in our laboratory at Qiongzhou Institute of Technology, there is a measuring tool called a scale."
"Scale?" Qi Yu stroked his beard and smiled, and replied: "Of course I remember, I developed it!"
"Well! The principle of the balance is not complicated. Whichever side is heavier will fall to that side. The greater the weight is, the faster it will fall. This phenomenon is similar to the 'measurement' principle of scale."
"Measure? Tao'er's words seem to have a double entendre! Come on, tell me, what is the implication in these words?"
Yin Tao smiled charmingly and said: "My husband is smart. As soon as I said it, you figured out the hidden secret."
After praising her, she added: "The current emperor, just like that day, is silently weighing the pros and cons of both parties. Although my husband has put a certain amount of weight, he cannot shake it because the pressure is not enough.
Pick up the other end. If you want to change this situation, there is only one way, and that is to increase the weight of the weight."
Increase the weight of the weight?
Oh...I see!
What this means is that, based on the influence of this article, we will continue to incite in a way that is similar to adding fuel to the fire. As long as the 'degree of damage' is reached, the emperor's calculation will be reversed.
This is the principle of choosing the lesser of two evils.
As for how to increase the amount, Qi Yu already has an idea.
Yin Tao couldn't be happier when she saw that her husband had adopted her suggestion.
After laughing, she did not forget to remind: "If your husband wants to increase the intensity of his criticism of Su Liu, you must pay attention to the right measure. If you use too much force and trigger the emperor's murder of the queen, then it will be a disaster."
It disrupts your long-term plans."
"Causing empress murder? You're overthinking it!" Qi Yu laughed, then shook his head and said: "A moral criticism of this level would, at best, result in a ban from the palace, and would never pose a threat to her personal safety.
.To put it more bluntly, no matter what kind of crime she commits, the emperor will give it a lenient sentence for the sake of the prince’s sake.”
"So I guess that the emperor will most likely take some kind of restrictive measures to weaken Su Liu's influence on the political arena. Such an approach can be regarded as an explanation to the world. And this result is what I want to see most.
"
Yin Tao suddenly realized: "I understand, you are trying to weaken Su Liu's position, and then take the opportunity to attack and subdue her in one fell swoop."
Qi Yu nodded and said, "Yes! Only when she becomes weak can she bow her head and beg for help."
…
A golden full moon hangs in the deep blue sky.
Below is a rustling poplar forest. The autumn wind swept by, the fallen leaves rustled, and at the same time, there was also a thin wisp of early winter chill.
In the woods, there was a middle-aged man with a beard. At this time, he was whispering something to a man with a square face.
"Do you remember everything I said?"
"Remember! Mr. Qi, you can rest assured, I promise to handle it properly."
"Yeah! Also, be sure to pay attention to Wang Zhifan's eyeliner detection, and don't let him catch any pigtails."
"Just him? Haha, it's not that I, Huang Fei, talk arrogantly, in front of me, he is just a chicken and a dog. If he wants to catch me, he will have to practice for a few more years!"
Hearing this, the bearded ‘Qi Dalang’ nodded happily.
After watching Huang Fei leave, he returned to a pavilion in the middle of the woods.
It seems that he is waiting for the arrival of someone else.
About a quarter of an hour later, Meng Jiming was seen rushing over with a hurried look.
"Who are you……"
"Haha, it's me!"
As soon as he heard this tone, Meng Jiming suddenly realized: "When I saw the painting "Four Images", I immediately guessed that it was you who had arrived, but I didn't expect it to be true!"
Qi Yu laughed and explained: "Due to certain reasons, it is not suitable for me to appear in public. I had no choice but to take this last step and think of assassinating him."
As soon as his voice changed, he said seriously: "I invited Brother Shi here this time because I have something to discuss. Well, let's sit down and talk about it..."
