Chapter 112 Working Together

"Of course I can't stand it." Quan Wanji cut his backs and looked at the cool blue sky outside the window and said leisurely, "Although I have only been in the House of Wu for only a year, I have a lot of feelings with His Royal Highness the King of Wu. Although he respects me and is afraid of me, and even hates me a little. Sometimes he is so angry that he can't kill me with a knife, but he always listens to me afterwards. If the Lord is like this, what do you want? Your Highness, the King of Wu, is actually kind to me. Moreover, I am both an enemy and a good friend, a teacher, a student and a confidant. In addition, His Royal Highness the King of Wu is smart and talented. Although he occasionally has a small fault, he does not hide his flaws. He is by no means comparable to a prince. How can I have the heart to let the king of Wu be implicated by the prince?

"Sir, I admire you very much." Qin Mubai bowed his hands sincerely.

I didn't expect that Quan Wanji was still a temperamental person. What he said just now was very reasonable, obviously from the bottom of his heart.

Quan Wanji cut his hands and paced back and forth in the room, thinking hard about the recipe. Qin Mubai did not disturb him and stood quietly aside.

Although Qin Mubai has always been conceited and smart, he still dares not be arrogant about some things. This is the principle of government, and it is obviously not as good as a person like Quan Wanji who has been in the officialdom for half of his life. Instead of coming up with bad ideas, it's better to wait for Wanji to think of a perfect solution. Three cobblers are still Zhuge Liang. It's not a bad thing to brainstorm.

After a long time, Quan Wanji paused and turned to look at Qin Mubai and said, "What's the clever plan of the general to solve the current problem?"

"I just want to hear Mr.'s wonderful strategy." Qin Mubai said, "At the beginning of my career, I was young and vigorous, inexperienced and reckless and stupid. I dare not make my own decision on such a big event, so I came up with a bad idea. Please get involved in this case and plan together. All kinds of reasons are Qin Mubai's fault. Please don't blame me.

"Don't say that. We have to find a way." Quan Wanji's eyebrows twisted into a big pimple, and his expression was extremely grim. He went to Qin Mubai and whispered, "The most difficult thing at present is this Shengnanhou. In fact, we don't know that this matter must have something to do with him. From the embezzlement of the embezzlement of the embankment, to the final flood of Jishan City and the murder of Zhu Chengwen, it has nothing to do with him. I still don't believe that a little assassin has the courage to do these things! In fact, I heard that long before I came to Jishan County, on the ground of Jiangzhou, led by Shengnan Marquis, a group of local officials were all vassals, as if they were about to become a country. This time, the emperor took the opportunity of the flood of Jishan to send the King of Wu and General Qin to come together, which had the intention of rectifying Jiangzhou and uprooting this nest of poisonous tumors! Otherwise, is it necessary to use a prince and the emperor's personal guard for a flood in a district and county?

"What you said is true. It seems that the emperor has already planned it first. That is to say, the current situation is a huge test for the King of Wu. Qin Mubai said, "It's not someone else who tests us, but His Majesty the Emperor. In fact, Shengnanhou and the officials of the size of Jiangzhou do not pose any threat to us. The emperor wants to test whether the king of Wu will take this opportunity to stone the prince and whether he has the ambition to seize the crown prince; by the way, he will test whether you and I are the brave to be loyal to the country. Mr. Quan, are you right?

"To the extreme." Quan Wanji nod his head, "General Qin, I really underestimate you. I didn't expect you to have such insight at such a young age! You are absolutely right. At present, it is actually a difficult problem put by the emperor in front of us. If you answer, it's about life and death! And the three of us must have a different answer to the emperor!"

"Please tell me, sir, how should the three of us answer separately?" Qin Mubai bowed his hand and sincerely asked for advice.

"Well... Rong, think about it..." Quan Wanji nodded, cut his hand on his back and walked for a while. From time to time, he gently tapped his forehead with his hand, and finally went to the window and stopped.

"Sir...but is there a good idea?" Qin Mubai stepped forward and asked.

"Actually... a good policy has already been in front of us. It's not what I came up with. It's you, General Qin, who has already given the answer. Quan Wanji turned his back to Qin Mubai and said lightly, "This matter is good for His Royal Highness the King of Wu to pretend not to know. In this way, the emperor may blame him for hiding and not reporting the private waste of the public, but he will never really blame. Then, I came forward to report and expose the Marquis of Shengnan, and wrote a letter to impeach him. And you can tell the truth about this matter to the emperor. These three answers, isn't it that you have already thought about it and then move it down? ...Why do you have to ask again?"

Qin Mubai was silent for a long time and smiled awkwardly: "Sir, are you still angry?"

"No." Quan Wanji shook his head, sighed and said, "I'm not so stingy. Although I was tricked by you for a while, it was also because I lost to you because I was unwise. By the time you wake up, you have completely fallen into your trap. But even if you don't set this trap yourself, I will take the initiative to jump in. Because I Quan Wanji can't tolerate it under any circumstances. A group of people like Marquis Shengnan and corrupt officials in Jiangzhou continue to poison the people of the Tang Dynasty!"

"So... what if it causes a big earthquake in the imperial court and moves the whole body, resulting in the abolition of the prince?" Qin Mubai asked, "In this way, sir will become a lead, which will detonate a violent turbulence!"

"I know." Quan Wanji spit out these three words word by word, paused for a long time, and turned around, "But isn't this what the emperor needs? Otherwise, why did he send the three of us here!!!"

Qin Mubai was stunned and speechless for a long time.

Quan Wanji is absolutely right. With Li Shimin's shrewdness, he must have had some understanding and inference of everything when he and Li Ke were about to go. Although he is not sure, Li Shimin must have expected that this matter has nothing to do with Shengnanhou. When it comes to Shengnanhou, that is, the sword points to the crown prince Li Chengqian... Li Shimin's intentions are obvious!

"Is the emperor... really going to be abolished?" Qin Mubai muttered.

"The emperor's heart is unfathomable, it's inconvenient for you and me." Quan Wanji raised his eyebrows and waved his hands and said in a low voice, "If you want to die, I have to die. It is what the emperor wants to find out the Marquis of Shengnan. If someone is plotted to be killed because of this, it will also be the king of death and die in the right place! The sky net is sparse but not exposed. If we can catch all these corrupt officials in Jiangzhou, then I will die for the people's sake and die!"

"Magnificent! What a good death!" Qin Mubai took a deep breath and hugged his fist heavily, "If you want to go, I'd like to go with you!"

"No! In His Majesty's situation, you and Li Ke can't die. Quan Wanji's eyes were round, and his voice sounded like a roar, "Li Ke, the emperor is just testing his filial piety. As long as he doesn't take the initiative to attack the prince, he will be fine; and you, in fact, everyone knows that the emperor just wants you to leave the romantic whirlpool of Chang'an temporarily to bring you together. By the way, let you and your Baiqi be bold for Li Ke. In fact, you are the most irrelevant to this case, so you, an innocent person, don't have to die. And I, Quan Wanji, is Li Ke's teacher, and also the governor of the palace sent by the emperor to correct his gains and losses. If I don't do anything about this, I deserve to die!"

"Mr. Quan... In this way, you will be too wronged!" Qin Mubai sighed.

"No." Quan Wanji snorted firmly, "I died of loyalty and righteousness, and I, Quan Wanji, died in the right place. In fact, if I do this, instead of killing me, His Majesty will reward me. It's just that in this way, I will offend the prince and all the people in the prince's camp, and they will be with me. But it doesn't matter. Over the years, there have been countless people who have offended me, from the emperor to the common people. The only thing I fear and worry about is that it causes such a huge shock. It's just that I suddenly figured it out for a moment - if the emperor really knew it when he sent us here, then what he lacked was just an excuse. Even if Jiangzhou can't give him this excuse, it can do it elsewhere. Instead of making the emperor so repeatedly embarrass, it's better for us to stand up and hand out what His Majesty needs. As a minister, don't you want to solve the difficulties of the country and share your worries?

Qin Mubai was silent after listening to it. I only sighed in my heart: loyal ministers in the feudal era had such an awareness... If it were me, Qin Mubai, I would definitely not be able to do it. Quan Wanji, is this pedantic, stupid or honest and loyal? I think there will be a different understanding of his behavior and spirit in different times...

"Now, as usual, let's take it as if nothing happened." Quan Wanji said, "Let's put the overall situation first and do a good job of disaster relief and comfort the people. When this big event is done, I have my own opinion. You don't have to worry about all this. From today on, you will concentrate on accompanying Your Highness and helping him with disaster relief. Just leave everything about this case to me to take care of. I will find it out, but I won't scare the snake. You can rest assured about this."

"If you need help, Mr. Quan can speak bluntly." Qin Mubai arched his hand with a sense of shame, "From now on, I will be in the same boat with my husband!"

Quan Wanji turned his head and looked at Qin Mubai with a grim expression. He tapped his head and said, "Uh-huh!"

Qin Mubai's heart was not much relaxed. In fact, he also knows that he can completely get rid of this case and listen to what the emperor said, but if there is something difficult to decide, just tell him to know and then let go and let the emperor decide. However, if you don't discuss with Li Ke and Quan Wanji and do things on your own, they will be passive and may even harm their lives.

I don't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me.

One is Li Ke, who is in love with his sister, is kind to him, and treats me like a close friend, and the other is a loyal minister like Quan Wanji... How can he bear to frame them?!
