Chapter 466 - Advance or Retreat
Su Jin came to Yan Biyun's side and said softly, "Miss Yan, you and Lord Ouyang are catching up, but why are you crying again?" ”
Yan Biyun wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a silk scarf, and said with a blessing: "The slave family has lost its honor, you speak, and the slave family has retired." ”
Su Jin glanced at her deeply and said: "It seems that you already know everything, who has not died in life since ancient times, you are a person who knows books and etiquette, you should know the truth that the law of the country cannot be violated, you go, order someone to help me pack my clothes, I ...... I'm afraid I'm going to have to go with Lord Zhongcheng. ”
Although Yan Biyun knew that he was acting, when he heard his sadness, his heart was sour, and his tears couldn't help falling again, and he hurriedly lowered his head and said 'yes', and left quickly.
Su Jin turned to Ouyang Xiu and said, "Lord Zhongcheng, forgive me, the women always can't stand things, crying and losing their decency, making the adults laugh." ”
Ouyang Xiu looked at Su Jin, who looked at him as if nothing had happened, and said in a deep voice: "Special Envoy Su, do you really care about your life and death?" Once you go to thousands of mountains and rivers, there will be no turning back in this life. ”
Su Jin said solemnly: "If you don't care about it, it's fake, the ants are still stealing their lives, not to mention that my life has just begun, and a lot of youth is waiting for me to squander, who wants to die?" But since he has violated the law of the country, he knows that there is no way to die, and the officials dare not say anything else, but there is still a bit of blood in daring to act, but it is a pity that it has affected family and friends. ”
Ouyang Xiu shook his head and said: "The difference of one thought has reached such a point, if you had been more cautious at the beginning, how could there have been difficulties at this time." ”
Su Jin laughed and said, "Lord Zhongcheng, do you think the lower officials will regret it?" Although I violated the law of the country, but the lower officials have never regretted this matter, if time can be turned back, I will still open a warehouse to release grain, maybe you will say that I am stubborn, knowing that I make mistakes; However, the lower officials think that there are various types of things in the world, some can be done, some must not be done, some can be done and cannot be done, and some things must be done; Opening a position to help the people is a must-do, even if you give your life for this, you have to do it, otherwise how can you be worthy of the people of Li and the trust of the saints. ”
Ouyang Xiu finally heard Su Jin's righteous and awe-inspiring words, which was quite corroborating with what Yan Biyun said, but he still had to argue.
"The official admits that you are doing this for the sake of the people, but how can you say that you are worthy of the Holy One, and the Holy One will never allow you to do such a great and unrighteous thing."
Su Jindao: "The views are different, and I don't force the adults to agree, the country is the Great Song Dynasty and the emperor's country, what is the country?" Xia Guan thought that it was not the mountains and rivers that were beautiful, but the people of the Great Song Dynasty all over the world. Therefore, the lower officials help the people, which is to stabilize the country and society for the emperor, as for how the emperor understands and how others understand, the lower officials can't control it, and they don't want to care about it. ”
Ouyang Xiu was thoughtful, and was very shocked, it was not easy for Su Jin to understand this level at a young age; Many people are confused and can't understand the relationship between the monarch and the people all their lives; As Su Jin said, the people are water, the king is like a boat, and water can carry a boat and overturn a boat, this truth has been understood by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty in the previous dynasty.
"The reason is this reason, it's a pity that some bottom lines can't be touched, if the emperor knows about this matter, he will definitely understand your hard work; It's just that the law is not child's play, and since it is formulated, it must be implemented, otherwise from the beginning of you, everyone will use military rations and mobilize troops indiscriminately under the pretext of loving the people, and the world will be in chaos; Can the emperor tolerate it? Absolutely not. ”
"So the lower officials don't make excuses, they just confess their hearts to adults, and if they die, they will die, and I don't want to be called a big rebel."
Ouyang Xiu said: "Do you have anything unfinished?" I did it together, so I didn't leave today, and I ...... tomorrow You can do it the day after tomorrow, and it can be regarded as a little respect for you. ”
Su Jin smiled and said: "I have received the adult's heart, but there is no need, let's leave later, I don't want to embarrass the adult." ”
Ouyang Xiuqi is terrible, this kid is really stunned, he wants to find a step down, wait a few days and think of a way to get the best of both worlds, but this kid is afraid that he will live a long time, so he actually urges him to go on the road.
"You foolish person, you have already embarrassed this official, not only this official, but also the three envoys will be implicated by you, but you are dead, leaving someone else to bear, it is really a bastard."
Su Jin smiled and said: "What do you mean, the lower officials understand, kill me, I am afraid that the people of the world will say that you killed a good official indiscriminately, the lower officials know that the third division is seeking a phase, I am the person recommended by him, the lower officials have made a big mistake, the three divisions will be attacked, and the phase has become a flower in the water; But what does all this have to do with me? My head is gone, do I still have the leisure to care about the things behind me? These things should be left to the three divisions and Zhongcheng-sama to worry about. ”
"You...... It's just too unusual, are you doing this right, the cultivation of the three divisions? He is bent on promoting you, but you do not accept his affection; And things are far from being as simple as you think, and the official position is just that, do you know that something will happen that will make the three divisions more sad? ”
Su Jin smiled and said, "I don't know, and I don't want to know." ”
"The shaft is really ruthless." Ouyang Xiu scolded angrily: "Lord Sansi allowed the niece of the Yan family to associate with you regardless of his reputation, and you and the daughter of the Yan family swore a private agreement for life, at this moment, you can easily pat your ass and die, what will happen to the niece of the Yan family?" Have you ever wondered? ”
Su Jin scratched his head and said: "There is innocence between me and Biyun, although I intend to marry her, but there are all kinds of thorns ahead, and now this incident has happened; Maybe this is God's arrangement, and I am destined to have nothing to do with her in this life; After I die, she can find a man from a comparable family to marry, what is there to say. ”
Ouyang Xiu shook his head and sighed: "You said it easily, just now the niece of the Yan family said clearly to the official, if you die, she will be martyred, people are so affectionate to you, but you say such a thing, do you still have the heart?" ”
Su Jin secretly picked his big finger, Yan Biyun's hand was absolutely beautiful, and he directly forced Ouyang Xiu into a corner, he died, Yan Biyun was martyred, but Yan Shu didn't hate Ouyang Xiu for the rest of his life; This is ten times better than just letting Ouyang Xiu understand his relationship with Yan Biyun; No wonder Yan Biyun was crying just now, it seems that he was talking about this at the time, if he didn't shed some tears, it wouldn't match the atmosphere of the scene.
"My lord is angry, maybe this matter is just her casual talk, adults don't have to take it seriously, there are indeed many women in the world, but Miss Yan is open-minded and reasonable, so she won't think about it like this, just don't think about it, adults just don't hear it." Su Jin continued to disguise his stunned image to the end.
"You are simply hard-hearted, the official is very disappointed in you, the official has always felt sorry for you, but unexpectedly, you are actually a heartless person, Miss Yan's family background is prominent, her character is one in a million, she can be your blessing to be green-eyed, you will trample on the love of others as dung, Miss Yan's life and death you don't care at all, this official ...... The official really felt worthless for Miss Yan; This official wants to tell the niece of the Yan family what you just said, so that she will come to her senses, lest she be sad for you and do something stupid. ”
Su Jin smiled and said, "Whatever you do, I can't control it; I don't care what adults think of me; Lord Zhongcheng, it's pointless for us to talk so much, it's better to escort me on the road quickly, I just want to die quickly. ”
"You...... Darn! Ouyang Xiu slapped the table, and almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood in anger, he had met all kinds of criminal officials, who did not desperately deny and beg for forgiveness, but he had never seen a guy like Su Jin who regarded life and death as nothing, how could he urge him to be tried and sent to death quickly, it was really a strange story through the ages.
"Oh......" Ouyang Xiu suddenly realized: "It turns out that you did it on purpose, and this official was almost deceived by you." ”
Su Jinxin said: Oh no, the old fox knows that we are acting.
I only listened to Ouyang Xiudao: "If it weren't for listening to the words of the niece of the Yan family just now, I was almost deceived by you, you deliberately pretended not to care, but the niece of the Yan family said that you took this food errand to make a meritorious contribution, so that the emperor could promise to come forward to make a good thing between you, the niece of the Yan family and the Pang family have not dissolved the marriage contract, you have taken great pains for her, but at this moment you say that her life and death have nothing to do with you, this is to ask the old man to bring a message to the niece of the Yan family, so that she will be completely disheartened, so she will not be martyred for you, right?" ”
Su Jin's heart was relieved, it turned out that Ouyang Xiu only understood this section, not that the entire deception was understood by him, and he said dejectedly: "My lord, this is all discovered by you." ”
"Insect carving skills." Ouyang Xiu was triumphant, it was hard to talk to this kid, and he couldn't figure out what he was thinking, but at this moment, he finally understood his tricks, and Ouyang Xiu's heart was very happy.
"Lord Zhongcheng, this is also a way to be honest, Miss Yan and Xia Guan are very affectionate, you just said that she was going to die for me, Xia Guan was shocked, with Miss Yan's character, she may really be like this, so Xia Guan had to deliberately pretend to be ruthless, so that she thought that Xia Guan was a person who was not worthy of martyrdom, maybe she could dispel her thoughts." Su Jin honestly confessed.
"It's a solution, but since you usually have a deep affection, and suddenly say that, will she believe it?"
Su Jin shook his head and said, "Most of them will not believe it." ”
Ouyang Xiu said: "The official also thinks that she won't believe it, the change is too sudden, not to mention that the niece of the Yan family is very smart, even an ordinary woman won't believe it." ”
"What then? It doesn't matter if I die, it's a sin to kill Miss Yan; Miss Yan is the pearl of the palm of the Sansi, she died for me, and the Sansi is afraid that she will hate me for the rest of her life. Su Jin frowned.
Ouyang Xiu fought a cold war, and said in his heart: It's okay to hate you, you don't know anything when you die, it's true that you hate me, I'm only in my thirties, and I'm still very early from death, and I will be hated by Yan Shu in the next few decades, how can I live?
"It's really difficult, since the niece of the Yan family said the words of martyrdom in front of the official, it must not be a joke, this is ...... I don't know what to do. ”
"She will never be joking, with my understanding of her, she doesn't speak, once she says it, she will do it, this is a good habit she has developed in business, and she pays attention to her promises."
Su Jin added a pimple to Ouyang Xiu's tangled heart, I can't block you, I will disgust you.
