Chapter 650: Strictly Reject
Sun Tu looked at Qin Chi who was talking nonstop in front of him with a smile, and slowly said, "Oh? But I don't know who is the light and who is the dark in your eyes?"
"The Emperor of Song was stupid and treacherous in the dynasty, but he had caused a pillar of the country like General Sun to suffer unjust injustice. As for this clarity..." Qin Chi said, turning around and pointing to the south: "Now that the Wu Kingdom has been established. At the time of prosperity, Your Majesty is wise and the assistance of all wise men is the opportunity for the heroes of the world to return to their hearts and create great achievements. With General Sun's talent and wisdom, if he can surrender, he will definitely make great achievements. This is for clarity! I wonder what General Sun thinks?"
As soon as this was said, all the personal soldiers inside and outside the hall changed color, especially Yue Fei, who stood behind Sun Tu, had his eyes wide open and his hands tightly held the handle of the knife. As long as Sun Tu gave the order, he would use a knife to kill the thief. As a young man who was educated by his mother since he was a child, he wanted to serve the country with all his loyalty, and had become a loyal minister for life. Naturally, Yue Fei, a young man who aimed to die for the Song Dynasty, could not accept such arrogant words.
But Sun Tu's reaction surprised him because he was neither angry nor refuted the other party's words. He just stared at Qin Chi for a while and said with a smile: "I have been talking for a long time before I know that you are from the south. In this way, you are Fang La's subordinate and have you been ordered to be a lobbyist?"
"General Sun really has good eyesight, and I can't hide it from it. Now he is the Minister of Rites of Wu, and is in the third rank!" While speaking, Qin Chi raised his chest a little more: "To be honest, before he was just an ordinary son, but he was appreciated by His Majesty, and he was forced to serve as the Minister of Rites of the Ministry of Rites. This shows that Your Majesty and our Wu Kingdom are eager to seek talent. With General Sun's talent, as long as he can submit to our Wu Kingdom, will the position of Minister of War and Privy Councilor be able to capture the positions of Minister of War and Privy Councilor? General Sun, people go to a high place and good ministers choose their masters to do things. Naturally, you must know the principles more clearly than you are."
After pausing, he took another step forward: "Also, why is the dangerous situation of being hostile and criticized by countless people? Isn't the Song court always guarding against military generals? Because you have made many contributions before, you have been taboo by many people. If you do not abandon the secrets at this time, even if you can really turn the danger into a bargain this time, it will be difficult to one day not be killed by those foolish monarchs and treacherous ministers in the court!
"General Sun, you should have heard of Di Qing and Di Wuxiang's achievements back then? With his great contribution to the Song Dynasty, any court would be granted a title of marquis and generals and rewarded him with great rewards. But how did the Song court treat him? Although he was granted the position of deputy envoy of Privy Councilor, he had no real power. He even refused to do anything to military power with him later, and allowed ignorant scholars like Han Qi who only knew how to talk about war on paper to dominate him and humiliate him in various ways, which eventually led to Di Wuxiang's depressed death. General Sun, do you also want to repeat his mistakes and end up in a bleak end?
"In comparison, our country of Wu is very different. Your Majesty has always used people without doubt and rewards according to merit. Only in this way can the emergence of heavy troops like General Pang and General Fang continue to emerge, and in just two years, half of the Jiangnan area can be controlled. General Sun, can you still not distinguish between the severity and the gains and losses of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the
This person is really good at eloquence. Although he is not as good as Su Qin and Zhang Yi who were among the seven kingdoms in ancient times, he is quite convincing. After saying this, many of the personal soldiers inside and outside the hall showed deep thought on their faces.
As confidants around Sun Tu, they naturally knew what the generals from their families had experienced over the years. The famous swords and arrows from officials in the court seemed to be easily resolved by him, but the danger still made people feel cold in their hearts afterwards, and they also complained about the important officials in the court who indulged civil servants to suppress their families, and even the emperors of the dynasty.
But this emotion was buried deep in their hearts in the past, and even themselves might not be able to detect it. But now, as Qin Chi completely lifted up his words, the resentment accumulated over the years could no longer be hidden.
Yue Fei also immediately realized this, which made him quite anxious. After enduring it for a while, he saw that Sun Tu did not speak, and he became even more anxious. At that moment, he didn't care about any rules and military laws, and immediately shouted: "Bold thief, dare to talk nonsense about the government and use words to deceive the morale of the army. Is it really a great courage! My Song Dynasty is the true story of the Central Plains, how can you slander it at will?"
As he said that, he quickly walked out from behind Sun Tu, came to him, knelt on one knee, lowered his head and said loudly: "Secretary, this person has sinister intentions and disrupts the morale of our army. It is really a crime that cannot be punished. Please order him to behead him quickly to stabilize the morale of the army and to understand the right way!"
Sun Tu looked at the extremely angry Yue Fei in front of him in amazement and was almost thinking that he was dazzled by the way. Because in the past, Yue Fei could always show stability and grandness far beyond his real age. Even if he encountered a big problem, he could remain absolutely calm.
But now, his face turned red and his chest was fluctuating, which was obviously a sign of anger.
But soon, Sun Tu understood again. Obviously, Qin Chi's remarks touched Yue Fei's bottom line. As someone who engraved his thoughts on loyalty to the king, Yue Fei would never allow anyone to speak bad things about the king of the Song Dynasty in front of him. This may be the biggest weakness and rebellion of this future famous general of the Song Dynasty.
After being shocked, Sun Tu sighed in his heart again, Yue Fei, Yue Fei, do you know that although the other party's words are a bit extreme, they are also true. The Song Dynasty has indeed been suppressing military generals for a hundred years. If he can have today, he has come from conspiracy and plots, and corpses and blood. Also, do you know that his words will be fulfilled in decades, and then you will become the Song general who was unjustly killed by the foolish monarch and treacherous ministers...
Of course, these thoughts only flashed in Sun Tu's mind and did not really say them. Although he recognized some of Qin Chi's remarks, he could not be really moved by him.
The Song Dynasty may have many problems, but it is also much stronger than Fang La's anti-army who relied on bewitching foolish men and women but had no long-term vision. What's more, he and the relatives of the Shandong army soldiers are still in Shandong, so how could he join Fang La's command and accomplice the tiger regardless of the safety of these people?
After exhaling a slight breath of turbid air, Sun Tu got up and came to Yue Fei, and helped him up hard: "Pengju, I understand your intention for the country, but there is a saying that when two countries fight, they will not be killed. He is just a lobbyist. If you really get angry and kill him, it will only make people laugh, and it will be weaker in our voice."
"But..." Yue Fei finally calmed down after hearing this, but he was still angry, but he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Sun Tu patted his shoulder again and said, "In fact, it is very simple to deal with a person like him. Just refute him speechlessly." As he said that, he looked at Qin Chi who was frowning slightly: "Qin Chi, right? You said so much before, just to use my safety as a threat so that I can ignore the righteousness of the country because of my own selfishness, right?"
"If General Sun really wants to be the foolish and loyal person who is indifferent to the incompleteness, he can only let me say a regret next." Qin Chi was not afraid and looked directly at Sun Tu.
"You are wrong. Loyalty means loyalty. There is no distinction between wise, loyalty, foolishness and loyalty at all!" Sun Tu shook his head and said, "We are the generals holding military power and have the ability. What should we do? We are to defend our country, and who should be loyal? In my opinion, it is not a monarch and court, but the people of the world. It is just because the food and clothes we have in our mouths are made by the people of the world, bit by bit, stitch by stitch. So you said that I am foolish and loyal to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty is wrong. I am loyal to the Song Dynasty and the people of the world!"
As soon as this statement was spoken, not only Qin Chi, but also Yue Fei and the personal soldiers around him were stunned. They had never thought about this level. In fact, many people had never really thought about who they were fighting for. Everyone just relied on instinct and habits to follow their generals.
And this statement had a greater impact on Yue Fei. He always felt that Sun Tu's statement was a little problem, but he didn't know what to argue for for a while, so he could only open his mouth halfway and stand up. He didn't even listen to Sun Tu's words carefully.
Sun Tu's words did not end there, but continued to say coldly: "Over the years, the rebellious actions of officials such as Zhu Xie and others, and the existence of Hua Shigang have indeed caused the people of Jiangnan to suffer. It is natural that they rose up, but this is not an excuse for you and others to try to subvert the world. Fang La and others said that they are not much nobler than those in the court. Are you really doing everything to save the people? I am afraid that it is the truth to use the hatred of the people to seize more benefits?
"As far as I know, every time you break a city, you will kill all the wealthy officials in the city, and then take away their property, but only share a little grain with the people. Do you dare to claim justice? It is really unacceptable to agree with this practice.
"Also, you kept saying that you wanted to save the people of the world, but in fact you never thought how far-reaching disaster your actions would bring to the people. Do you know that the Liao Kingdom in the north, Xia Kingdom in the west, and the newly rising Jin people in the north have been eyeing me in the Central Plains? Originally, if my Song Dynasty was united, I could still maintain peace on the border and not be invaded by foreign captives. But your big fuss in Jiangnan would bring great trouble to the court and give foreign enemies an opportunity to take advantage of it. And you dare to talk about saving the people here? It's really ridiculous!
"Although I, Sun Tu, is not talented, yet I have not fallen to the point of being with you. Even though the court is unfair to me, and even if the military and civilians in Jiangnan have misunderstood me, I believe that those who are Qing will be clear. As long as they come up with the facts, everyone will naturally understand that I am innocent. So you don't have to use such arguments to deceive and lobby me. Please come back now."
After saying this, coupled with the intimidating aura that Sun Tu showed, Qin Chi was completely suppressed, making him unable to even say a word. After a while, he could only leave the ground in a daze. And he also made a definite judgment in his heart: "Sun Tu is indeed awesome. It seems that the Grand Tutor's evaluation of him is indeed good. This person is far more difficult to deal with than we imagined..."
