Xie Ming

Chapter 481 Between Black and White
When asked about how he would deal with the situation in the future, Xiao Jingchuan spoke out everything he had in mind!
However, after making these bold statements, he looked at Yao Zuyin, who had a disappointed expression on his face and was not moved at all.

As for Zhizhong, he seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

After Xiao Lang finished speaking, he thought about it and was afraid that he had not said something precise enough, so he kept his mouth shut and stopped worrying about it.

"Hehehe"

"Uh, of course!"

"The three major dangers I just mentioned are not urgent at the moment!"

"This problem has been going on for a long time. It is impossible to completely eliminate it overnight!"

"So I was thinking, this time, since the little emperor is borrowing his power, I will personally bestow the Emperor's Sword!"

"Well, then, why don't we seize the opportunity to catch the corruption and deal with it first!"

"Anyway, I have the upper hand to guarantee it. He said that he will suppress those who harm others for their own benefit and cause trouble in the court!"

"Haha, this may not be entirely true, but as long as we are careful, I think we can make a big fuss. If the sky falls, there will always be someone as tall as him to hold it up!"

"From his speech in Wuying Palace, I think his words are resolute. I think he is sincere about 80% of the time. He must cure this disease!"

"If that's the case, why not do it?!"

"Yes, right?!" Xiao Shiyan changed the subject and tried to find out what Yao and Qiu were thinking.

Hearing this, the old monk looked at himself, rolled another ring on the rosary and put it on his hand.

After a moment of stalemate, he spoke back.

"Hehe, it's Ogawa!"

"You are a military officer and have never been involved in the affairs of the court. It is not easy for you to think of and say these things! Huh?!"

"Hahaha"

"but."

"If everything in the world can be accomplished like you, then what is the point of us being so powerful?!"

"With the few points you mentioned, if we can straighten out 50% of the problems, then the Ming Dynasty can be saved!"

"Do you think this is true?!"

Yao Zuyin began his speech jokingly and paused in between words.

"Uh, Master, what you mean is..." Xiao Jie was about to speak.

The old monk waved his hand to brush it off and continued.

"Xiaochuan, have you ever thought about it!"

"If these matters in the court can be handled so simply and efficiently, why do you have to use a military officer like you who is not familiar with the ways of officialdom to do it?!"

"Young friend Qiu holds the important position of the commander of the Jinyiwei. Gathering intelligence and dealing with officials are things that he should be best at!"

"As for the senior officials in the court, how much evidence can be used to catch them? Let's leave it alone for now!"

"But why does that little kid in the imperial city have to use you, a distant water, to put out a nearby fire?!"

"Wouldn't it be better and more economical to send Qiu Zhizhong directly to remove the nail?!" The old monk asked the crucial point!
Hearing this, Xiao Lang shuddered, his eyes slightly narrowed, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"You mean"

"They used my investigation into corruption as a pretext to cut off my connection with Shandong's subordinates, trap me, and use this as an excuse to harm me?!"

At this moment, Xiao Lang was hesitant and somewhat dazed, as if he was being plotted against and was alone in the fog, unable to tell east from west.

"Ha ha ha ha."

"So clever!"

"Haha, but some things are not so absolute!"

"Xiaochuan, the little kid in the palace promoted you to the position of Duke because he really wanted to use you for another position!"

"However, if you put yourself in his shoes, you will realize that he has two backup plans for this move!"

"Come here!" Yao Zuyin stretched out a finger.

"I'm pushing you to the front on purpose. You can go ahead and make a scene. Go ahead and get yourself bruised and bloodied!"

"The rebels from the same party are all killed together!" "The people of the Southern Party may not be completely united, and their internal struggles are not a difficult secret to find out!"

"Let you go down and stir things up. If they have grudges against each other and their reactions are not too extreme, then maybe the method to cure greed can be achieved!"

"He would like to see this, and you are not the only one who thinks so!"

"But!"

"If those local tyrants and officials and gentry collude with each other and become invulnerable, they will launch a fierce counterattack and jointly file a strike to report and sue you, causing unrest in the government and the public, and paralyzing the government!"

"Do you think the little emperor will still keep his original intention?!"

"Or should I just take advantage of the situation and sacrifice the pawn to save the king? I'll arrest you as the culprit and let you take the blame. I'll kill you and calm the public anger?!"

"Haha, by then people will be two-faced!"

"He pushed the blame on you, and it was all your fault. He pushed you to take the blame, so what can you do to him?!"

Yao Zuyin played both sides of the matter and calculated people's hearts, which blocked both ends.

After hearing this, Xiao found it difficult to accept it completely and had different opinions.

"Uh"

"Master, from what you said, there are killer moves everywhere!"

"But, from what I saw in Wuying Palace tonight, I think the little emperor is not as cunning and scheming as you, Master!"

"We, we are worrying too much!"

Xiao Wei secretly criticized the words, thinking that it was Yao Zuyin who was possessed by conspiracy and that he was overthinking it!
After all, Xiao Lang was a military general. When dealing with people, especially commanding his subordinates, he always believed in trusting the people he employed, and did not employ those he did not trust. He judged people and things based on his subtle feelings.

If they had always been so suspicious and indecisive, the situation on the battlefield would have changed rapidly and the entire army would have been finished long ago!

So, now that I have carefully chewed on the old monk's words, I feel like there are wolves in front and tigers behind, which is very disgusting.

But after hearing what Xiao Lang said, Yao Zuyin was not angry. Instead, he smiled and leaned forward to persuade him.

"Hehehe!"

"It doesn't matter whether you want it or not!"

"Even if he really wants to do this right now, and his sincerity won't let you down!"

"But, if it comes to that in the future, he will be deceived and use you as a scapegoat!"

"Xiaochuan, the political situation in the imperial court is full of twists and turns. This child raised by a woman in the deep palace, like those people who studied the books of sages in the cold and cold classroom, is not as open-minded as the rough men in your army!"

"Most loyal people are butchers, and most unfaithful people are scholars!"

"It's true that they are full of knowledge, but most of them are evil, selfish, and scheming!"

"People change, and their hearts cannot be trusted!"

The old monk acted like an elder, patiently and persuadingly, and what he said was in line with the wise advice on state affairs, which made people agree.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lang nodded frequently, but he felt even more worried.
"Hu——" a long sigh.

"But if you want to be so particular, then..."

"Master, am I really going to do nothing this time I come south?!" Xiao Wei was at a loss.

Look, Yao Zuyin looked up and stroked his beard.

"Haha, no!"

"Everything in the world is never right or wrong, nor can it be divided into pure black and white!"

"Since you have accepted this task, you must do it!"

“Not only should we do it, but we should also do it in a big way so that everyone knows about it!”

"If you don't do this, you won't be able to get through to the young emperor, and it may even become a major obstacle for you to continue your work!"

"but."

"To do something, you also need to know how to do it!"
