Chapter 1222: Forced to rebel against Zhao Kuangyin (Part 1)
"This investigation indeed revealed a big problem."
When he mentioned Zhao Kuangyin, the corners of Di Renjie's mouth immediately turned up, and he sneered, "Zhao Kuangyin's behavior, ethics and character are almost harsh. This person is not greedy for money, lustful, power-loving, and does not like wine. He looks like a saint."
His posture, and almost everyone is praising him."
"What does this mean?" Han Fei asked in surprise.
Hearing Di Renjie's comments, Han Fei felt a little admiration in his heart. After all, he had many problems, big and small, but he couldn't be as free as Zhao Kuangyin.
"No, there's a big problem here."
Jia Xu sneered and said, "Even a saint can be free from desires and demands, but Zhao Kuangyin is neither greedy for money, nor lustful, nor loves power. This only proves that he has a bigger conspiracy."
"Zhao Kuangyin's status in the Yuzhou army is higher than that of Yan Xiang and Lian Po. He is already below one person and above ten thousand people. If he wants to be higher, the only thing left is..."
Xun Yu said solemnly. After everyone looked at each other, although no one said anything more, everyone understood the meaning.
it is more than words.
"This Zhao Kuangyin must have great ambitions, so he packages himself in such an almost perfect way.
I originally wanted to find out the evidence of his evil intentions, but before I could find out, I was kicked out of Yuzhou by Yuan Shu, but just knowing that Zhao Kuangyin has ambitions is enough."
At this point, a glint flashed in Di Renjie's eyes and he sneered, "No matter how Zhao Kuangyin hides his ambition, as long as his ambition does exist, he must have done some unfaithful behavior.
No matter how Zhao Kuangyin conceals it, there will definitely be traces to follow, and as long as our army follows this clue, we may not be unable to find evidence, allowing the Yuzhou army to kill each other, and thus Sizhou's crisis will be solved."
After Di Renjie finished speaking, the scene was silent. After a while, Jia Xu, Xun Yu, and Han Feichang applauded at the same time.
"Pah...pah...pah..."
"Amazing, really amazing. He deserves to be called 'Detective Di Renjie'." Xun Yu praised with a smile.
From a footprint, it is inferred that Wang Mang is hiding behind Ju Wuba;
From the praise of the people in Yuzhou, we can infer that Zhao Kuangyin was unwilling to accept this ambition.
Based on these two points, Di Renjie deserves the title of "super detective".
"Master Di, when it comes to investigating cases, Han Fei is far behind you." Han Fei said sincerely.
Among the many civil servants under Qin Hao, only Han Fei was born in Legalism. Like Di Renjie, both of them had a background in criminal law. Of course, Di Renjie was also a disciple of a side branch of Legalism.
In terms of law, Di Renjie is definitely not as good as Han Fei, a master of Legalism, but Di Renjie's case-handling skills will definitely convince Han Fei. Anyway, Han Fei is not yet at Di Renjie's level.
"What a terrifying future life."
Jia Xu stepped forward and patted Di Renjie on the shoulder, smiling appreciatively and saying, "Di Renjie, although you failed to complete your mission during this trip, the effect of these two discoveries is ten times greater than persuading Yuan Shu to withdraw his troops."
Jia Xu would not say this out of nowhere.
The first is Wang Mang’s identity.
Why did Yuan Shu conceal Wang Mang's identity?
It's not because of the inextricable relationship between Wang Mang and the foreign tribes in the previous division war.
If the people of the world knew at this time that the person who encouraged Yuan Shu to attack Sizhou was Wang Mang's tiger, I am afraid that even Yuan Shu would be stigmatized for colluding with foreign tribes to plot evil.
If Yuan Shu chose to attack the Qin army at this time, he was destined to lose part of his reputation and would definitely be reviled by the world. However, he did not want to be accused of colluding with foreign tribes, so he deliberately concealed Wang Mang's identity.
If the Qin army reveals this at this time, it will undoubtedly damage Yuan Shu's prestige to the greatest extent, and even shake the morale of the Yuzhou army to a certain extent.
Second is Zhao Kuangyin's ambition, and this point has the greatest strategic significance.
Although Zhao Kuangyin was apparently a subordinate of Yuan Shu, he actually had his own territory, and his title was conferred by the court, not his lord Yuan Shu.
Therefore, although Zhao Kuangyin and Lian Po were both subordinates of Yuan Shu, Zhao Kuangyin was different from Lian Po in nature.
Everything about Lian Po came from Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu could take it back if he wanted to. However, Zhao Kuangyin and the Zhao family where he belonged were a small force that relied on Yuan Shu to survive. They could continue to survive even if they were separated from Yuan Shu.
The reason why Zhao Kuangyin never left Yuan Shu was just because he had not yet obtained the maximum benefit, so Zhao Kuangyin pretended to package himself.
Di Renjie discovered the ambition hidden under the appearance of Zhao Kuangyin's loyal minister. This is nothing, after all, there are too many ambitious people in the world, but the important thing is that Zhao Kuangyin is the commander-in-chief of the Yuzhou Army this time.
Such a general who is good at fighting, ambitious, loved by the army and the people, and is leading an army abroad, what monarch can rest assured?
Yuan Shu was a suspicious person. If he had known that Zhao Kuangyin had been disguising, he would have taken the initiative to investigate even if there was no evidence of Zhao Kuangyin's disloyalty.
As long as Zhao Kuangyin does some things, no matter how perfect the disguise is, it will definitely leave traces. Even if it cannot be done, it will be enough to deepen Yuan Shu's suspicion and deprive Zhao Kuangyin of his military power.
For Zhao Kuangyin, who was already ambitious, military power was his biggest protection. Although giving up military power could temporarily eliminate suspicion, it would also mean leaving life and death to others. It would be up to Yuan Shu to decide what to do, and Zhao Kuangyin was not
Someone who will wait to be captured.
Therefore, as long as Yuan Shu suspected Zhao Kuangyin and had some intention of taking back military power, that would be the time for Zhao Kuangyin to rebel against Yuan Shu.
Zhao Kuangyin was one of the most capable generals of the Yuzhou Army. Under his personal leadership, even if the Qin Army occupied the fortified city and had sufficient troops, this battle would still not be easy.
But if Zhao Kuangyin's ambitions were exposed to drive a wedge between the Yuzhou monarchs and generals, thereby instigating the Yuzhou army to engage in internal fighting, a battle involving hundreds of thousands of people would disappear, which would be absolutely detrimental to the Qin army.
It's more meaningful than a hearty victory.
"Master Jia, if you want to drive a wedge between Yuan Shu and Zhao Kuangyin, you must find evidence of Zhao Kuangyin's disloyalty. But from my perspective, Zhao Kuangyin is impeccable in his work. It may not be easy to find evidence of his disloyalty." Di Renjie said with a look on his face.
Said seriously.
"It's okay, I never need any evidence to do anything."
Jia Xu waved his hand nonchalantly, and then sneered, "If Yuan Shu doesn't take back Zhao Kuangyin's military power, then I will force him to take it back; if Zhao Kuangyin still refuses to rebel, then I will force him to rebel."
