Knight of the Blue Lagoon (The Past of Tao v)

32. Go. Even if you make a promise for a while, it will be a leisurely journey in the end.

~

Su Su has just adapted to the identity of field supervisor, and Daozhi is about to go to Dongdu. Too many things have happened recently, and everything happened so fast that there was no time to think about it.

In the evening, Susu came to the courtyard where Daozhi lived. Suini was also there. Daozhi told him:

"Su Su, you will be solely responsible for the farming affairs of the Tianpu Club from now on."

Su Su nodded. After this period of running-in, there is no problem in ensuring the normal operation of Tianpu Club.

Then Daozhi introduced:"This is Chenggang, martial arts is excellent."

Su Su was sizing up this strong man, and Daozhi immediately ordered:"Chenggang, from now on you will assist Su Su. Su Su, Chenggang will be responsible for the security of the area under his jurisdiction, and Suini will be responsible for the grain trade of various countries."

"Yes, deputy commander." Suini and Chenggang replied.

Where did Chenggang appear? What kind of deputy commander? How big a security problem can Tianpu Society have? What are they going to do? A series of questions rushed into Susu's mind, and they were rolling. Daozhi added:

"Suini remembered the deserted island and transported things to the island. Susu prioritized Suini's needs. What's the problem?"

"No"

"Chenggang, select some strong farm workers for training. In addition to ensuring public security, they must also cooperate with Su Su in farming. The progress during the busy farming period is arranged by Su Su. The specific farming method is determined by you. Su Su, do you have any objections?"Daozhi

"As long as it's in season, no problem."Susu

"What other difficulties are there?"Daozhi

"where you go?"Susu

"On the occasion of the New Year, envoys came to the court to protect the safety of the royal city."Dao Zhi.

Grain and trade envoys from various countries come every year during the New Year. What security issues can there be in Dongfu? Seeing Su Su's puzzled face, Suini said,"Dao Zhi has just received the imperial edict to be the deputy commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard."

"Suini and Chenggang want to go back to Dongdu with me first and come back after the New Year."Daozhi looked at Susu.

Susu didn't care when Suini and Chenggang would come back. She just didn't understand why he suddenly became the deputy commander. Before, Daozhi was gentle and elegant. Why did he suddenly seem to be a different person? , Su Su was a little uncomfortable with Daozhi's commanding style. The language was concise, clear, and clear, and there was no doubt about it. I thought he had no idea about being an official, but it turned out that he didn't like the field supervisor. It seemed that he had premeditated it. Su Su looked at Daozhi. Now that he was leaving Tianpu Club, his heart suddenly felt empty and he was a little reluctant to leave.

"Since everyone has no problem, let's do it this way. After a busy day, Su Su should go back first."

Then Daozhi looked at Suini, who nodded. This move made Susu suspicious. It seemed that they had some conspiracy. The more he thought about it along the way, the more he became uneasy. He turned back halfway and saw through the crack in the door. There were several people in the yard who were saluting Dao Zhi.

Dao Zhi immediately stopped him:"It's no different than before, so there's no need to be more polite.""

"Someone!"Chenggang shouted, flew over the courtyard wall, and when he landed, the sword was already on Su Su's neck, which shocked Su Su. When Chenggang saw it was Su Su, he immediately put away his sword.

After entering the door, he said Zhi asked:"Susu, is there anything wrong?"

"It's okay, I...I dropped something."Su Su hurriedly excused herself and tried her best to search the yard. There was no one else. Su Su felt a little strange.

"Just now, just now it was obvious……"Su Su can’t explain clearly either.

"Obviously what?"Suini

"There are obviously people... Could it be that I saw it wrong."Susu was also confused for a moment.

Daozhi glanced around, and Suini also looked around, then looked at Chengganghou and said:"Maybe it's because I've been too tired recently, and my mind is prone to hallucinations. Go back and rest. Come on, I'll give it to you."

On the way, Su Su thought about just now and looked at Suini. The way he walked made her feel that he was hiding something. Although she didn't know what happened in the yard, there must be a conspiracy. There were too many things hidden in Daozhi. It’s difficult to rest assured that something cannot be seen through or touched. Now that he is in charge of the Imperial Guards and can freely enter and leave the palace, what is he planning? If he is not up to something, His Majesty will be in danger.

After Suini and Susu left, a few people came out

"At the beginning of the war, the Xilu Kingdom planned to divide the Dongfu Kingdom into seven parts. If successful, it would surrender permanently like the Daying Kingdom. The ancestors defended the integrity of the country with their blood. The Xilu Kingdom realized the determination of its ancestors and finally chose to withdraw. After the Blue Lake Treaty was promulgated, the countries became relatively stable. After the war, Dongfu Kingdom was devastated and in ruins. The people were exhausted, the family was poor and the country was weak. However, Xilu Kingdom never gave up control of Dongfu Country, but just changed its method. In order to preserve Dongfu Country, the late king had no choice but to compromise and abolish the three provinces. , since then, six ministers have controlled the government. The ministers of Dongfu Kingdom have close contacts with the foreign vassal armies of Xilu, and almost all of them have been secretly supported and trained by them to influence the government of Dongfu Kingdom. Over the years, Dongfu Kingdom has become increasingly wealthy, and all the ministers have become extremely wealthy. For greater security, they have stored a large amount of wealth in Xilu Kingdom, where their wives and children also live a pampered and luxurious life. On the other hand, the Xilu Kingdom is always on guard against those ministers, keeping them in a state of relative balance, checking and balancing each other for control. Nowadays, the strength of the Minister of Hubu and the Minister of War is obviously stronger than other ministers. Daozhi paused for a while and then focused his gaze again:"For a long time, the courtiers have been headed by the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, followed by the Minister of the Ministry of War. After the incident of Tianpu Society, their ambitions will no longer be hidden and they attempt to overthrow. King Dongfu replaced him, and the other three ministers were worried. The Minister of Hubu is scheming, the Minister of Military Affairs is reckless, and the Minister of Officials is cautious. All three of them have ambitions. The Minister of Punishments has a troubled nature and it is difficult to achieve great things. The Minister of Works is greedy for pleasure and has no ambition. The Minister of Rites is loyal and may not be strong enough. Although it was the Minister of the Ministry of War who took the lead this time, the instigator behind the scenes was determined to be the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, but the impulse of the Minister of the Ministry of War was not easy to predict."

"General, how do they plan to overthrow His Majesty?"Suosuo was very excited to see Daozhi, but immediately became serious again after learning about the current situation.

"They did not dare to overthrow them directly. In order to stabilize the vassal territories that had just separated from Chengguo, the Blue Lake Treaty stipulated that the throne obtained by rebellion would not be recognized by Blue Lake. Even if Xilu Kingdom acquiesced, it would be very difficult for other countries to accept it. Internally, each country They all have their own contradictions, and they are even more afraid of internal opposition forces following suit."Li Lai

"With military power in hand, the Minister of War is as if he has an immortal body. His Majesty has not dared to touch him these years. If they come forcefully and the army suppresses the situation, it is not impossible to force His Majesty to abdicate. With the abdication edict, it is not a rebellion. The top priority is to be the Minister of War."Daozhi.

After listening to Daozhi's words, Li Lai and Suosuo looked sad, with tears in their eyes, and shouted:"General……"

Daozhi patted their arms and said,"I understand, I called you here this time to resolve this matter first."

After a while, Li Lai calmed down:"The key is how to get rid of the Minister of War without causing other ministers to rebound. Let alone irritate the Xilu Kingdom."

Suosuo took out some documents:"These things have been secretly collected by us over the years. I have brought them all, maybe they can be used."

Daozhi looked through them carefully:"With this , we have to think of ways to divide them"

"What if they were always united?"Cheng Gang

"The higher the position, the more rational you are, and the more rational you are, the more you will act according to the rules."Daozhi

"What rules?"Cheng Gang

"There are rules for training warriors. The methods vary according to the different physical characteristics of the warriors. This is the rule. Facts create laws, and current events create laws. For them, they are just greedy for life and afraid of death, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages." Li Lai explained.

Daozhi nodded:"Most people can't escape the four words 'life and death'. It's enough to let them understand these words."

"A piece of evidence is needed, and it cannot arouse their habitual reaction. You must think of new strategies."Li Lai

"Evidence? Since we can't find one at the moment, we will try to make one. If you are good at imitating it, you can do it."Daozhi

"I think it works."Li Lai

"Unexpectedly, he made a sound in the east and struck in the west."Daozhi

"When will they act?"Cheng Gang

"The New Year is coming. All things are based on heaven, and humans are based on ancestors. We pray for a good year and offer sacrifices, respect heaven and our ancestors, and repay our roots. On the occasion of the sacrifice, the evil wind will rise to remove the old and create the new, drive away evil spirits and ward off disasters."Daozhi.

Suosuo looked sad, Li Lai was emotional, and his body was shaking slightly.

"How many people can we have?"Daozhi

"The ones we are looking for are all reliable and are still on the road. There are almost 300 people who were able to get there years ago."Li Lai

"Is there anyone who won’t come?"Daozhi

"Everyone alive has come."Li Lai

"Chenggang, you go to pick him up, and we will meet in Dongdu secretly together."
