Chapter 61 Disasters Originate from Slightly
Outside the study, large areas of grass and trees turned gray and dead, and Yuchi Jing was frightened like a quail in winter.
It's not that he is timid, but because he is now like these gray and white grasses, influenced by Yuchi Pojun's Taoism, which is equivalent to facing the interrogation of a second-rank military strategist.
In the study, Zhou Tieyi looked calm. Although the Taoist school was also influencing him secretly, even the divine power of the Blood Sea Lord could not affect his mind. The interrogation of this second-grade Taoist school was like a spring breeze on his face.
Yuchi Pojun did not stand up in anger, but instead felt like he was getting old.
He sighed and said, "I was saying that the Confucians would have taken action sooner or later, since the emperor had not been to court for such a long time. But as soon as you showed up, they took action and even added your name to the list, forcing you to stand on their side. It turns out that they saw the signs that the emperor wanted to use cruel officials."
As he spoke, he counted on his fingers and said, "It took me a day and a half to figure this out."
"Mei Qingchen spent the whole night figuring it out."
"And you, after reading "The System of the God-Slaying Division" for an entire afternoon, you figured it out."
"When you get old, you have to accept it."
Zhou Tieyi was not arrogant. He cupped his hands and said, "I am a young man with little knowledge and talent. I thought everyone would make me a cruel official before they figured it out. But I underestimated everyone in the world."
"Why do you want to be a cruel official? For power?"
Yuchi Pojun asked. He was very curious why Zhou Tieyi, who was so smart, even a little devilishly smart, wanted to be a cruel official.
"Because I'm afraid."
Zhou Tieyi replied calmly.
"The emperor wants to practice Taoism, and it is increasingly difficult for him to control the government. In addition, the various schools of thought are blocking him, and he has to guard against the empress. A useful cruel official is the general trend. I don't want to be this cruel official. There are many people who can be this cruel official. It is better to have the knife in my own hands than in the hands of others."
Zhou Tieyi spoke with deep emotion.
If the Zhou family were just there to watch the show, the worst that could happen would be for them to stay away.
But the current situation is clear.
His Zhou family is the first to bear the brunt!
Disasters often start from small things. Today, the Zhou family seems to be wealthy and powerful, and they have been fighting back and forth with the Queen Mother's family. But once the Queen Mother takes power and a cruel official appears, the whole family may be wiped out the next day!
Yuchi Pojun did not scold Zhou Tieyi, but pondered for a long time before saying, "With the three officials here, things would not have come to this."
Zhou Tieyi couldn't help laughing when the three officials fought against the combination of the Queen Mother and the cruel officials.
"Why are you laughing?"
"It's just that I think too highly of myself."
From the moment he said that the emperor needed a cruel official, Yuchi Pojun would not let any third person know about today's conversation, otherwise both Zhou Tieyi and the Yuchi family would be in trouble, so Zhou Tieyi had no worries.
"Although the three of you are the pillars of the country, there are still people who can replace you, but can anyone replace the Queen of Heaven?"
Zhou Tieyi asked back.
A wife whom he had known since times of crisis, a queen who gave birth to the prince, and a virtuous woman who helped the emperor balance the contradictions between Buddhism and Taoism.
I've searched the whole world but still can't find a replacement!
That is to say, in this political struggle, the Queen can lose a few more times, but the three officials cannot lose even once!
The life-saving talisman in political struggle does not lie in how useful you are, but in whether you are irreplaceable!
The world can change without anyone, but some people really cannot be replaced at once!
Yuchi Pojun suddenly thought of another question, "Are you here today to enlighten me?"
At this point, he himself could hardly believe it.
This Zhou family member is a man of deep thoughts, how could he do this!
Zhou Tieyi bowed and said, "My path to becoming a cruel official has been blocked by the Confucians. Now the only one I can rely on is the Right General, who can help me to open up this path."
The more Yuchi Pojun heard Zhou Tieyi's analysis, the more frightened he became. If such a person stayed by his side, he would use his power to fight against the Queen...
It is indeed a great misfortune for the world!
Yuchi Pojun was suddenly filled with thoughts and was no longer as decisive as before. Images of mountains of corpses and seas of blood flashed through his mind.
After practicing to his level, his every word and action influences millions of people, and it’s not just talk, so those messy pictures in his mind are real, they are the pictures after he appointed Zhou Tieyi!
"Do you know how many people in the world will be ruined if I agree to what you do today?" "I don't even have the Zhou family anymore, how can I care about the people in the world!"
Yuchi Pojun tapped his fingers on the table, "Mei Qingchen commented that you are a capable minister who can govern the country. I only said half of it. I will also give you a comment today to make it complete."
Zhou Tieyi bowed again, "Boy, let me teach you."
"You have been patient for ten years, and you have a deep mind. You hide what others cannot hide, and endure what others cannot endure. If you were on the evil path, you would be a demon in troubled times."
Zhou Tieyi endured it calmly.
What is knocking? This is knocking!
If this word were to get out today, he would have no choice but to hide in the mountains and forests, or become a monk or observe the law to become a Taoist.
"Do you know what I am annotating?"
"The boy can't guess."
Yuchi Pojun sneered twice, then sighed and said, "You should go guard the border. It's too early to talk about the court affairs. Now all the officials in the court are giving way to Rujia and Mei Qingchen. They want to see them charge in the front. Can we, the military strategists, also give way to them?"
After Yuchi Pojun finished speaking, Zhou Tieyi knew that his plan to find Yuchi Pojun today was doomed and it was all in vain.
Although he is still a great general, he has not led troops for a long time. He has enjoyed the blessings of his children and grandchildren for twenty years in this prosperous city of Tianjing. Although he still looks like a middle-aged man, he is old after all.
As people get older, their hearts become softer.
If General Zuo were here, this would never happen!
Zhou Tieyi put down his hand, put on his flying eagle uniform under Yuchi Pojun's frown, and looked even more excited. "If Mei Qingchen is really a perfect man, then what if I see him retreat eight thousand miles? Unfortunately, he is not. Why should I, Zhou Tieyi, give in to him?"
Without waiting for Yuchi Pojun to rebuke him, Zhou Tieyi continued, "I think the right general's commentary lacks the military wisdom, making the military seem afraid of the Confucian. If the left general were here, he would definitely not comment like this."
Now that things have come to this, Zhou Tieyi naturally cannot keep any handle in Yuchi Mansion anymore.
"What temperature?"
"General Zuo should be able to write, please open the imperial prison and order Zhou Tieyi to thoroughly investigate the harm done by Mei Qingchen and his cronies who deceived the emperor and condoned him."
"Bastard thing!"
Yuchi Pojun's roar spread throughout the Right General's Mansion, and half of the plants and trees in the Mansion withered.
Now everyone in the world knew about it. When Zhou Tieyi arrived at the Right General's Mansion, he was angrily scolded by Yuchi Pojun and they parted on bad terms.
If the comments made by Yuchi Pojun about himself were spread again, they would not have the same destructive power as before.
"You provoke me so much, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
"If killing people was useful, His Majesty would have killed Mei Qingchen long ago. What's more, the old general kept me here and threw me out at the critical moment to attract the Queen's firepower. I will always play an irreplaceable role."
Yuchi Pojun didn't know what to do with Zhou Tieyi for a moment, so he could only say, "Get out, I'll pretend you haven't been here today!"
Although I was mentally prepared for failure, I still felt a little unwilling to accept the bad data.
Begging for help.
