Chapter 1,246: Three years of silence (two updates combined into one)(3/3)
The carriage is back on the road.
Sun Gu sat on the carriage with a solemn expression, and heard the sound of many people lying on the corpses crying.
Sun Gu was silent for a while, then sighed after the crying went away: "Wouldn't it be better to leave this useful body to serve the country?"
…
Sun Gu returned to the court and told the emperor about the matter. Sun Gu said: "Your Majesty, I have found out that this person is a student of the Imperial Academy. He is indeed from Zhang Zai's family. He is the 172nd in the provincial examination!"
When the officials heard about it, they ordered someone to check this person's results. On the sidelines, Shi Deyi reported: "He is ranked 57th in the top two!"
When the officials heard this, they said sadly: "What a pity, what a pity! The country needs such a loyal person!"
Sun Gudao: "Nowadays, public opinion is against the peace negotiation with Liao. I speculate that someone seems to be inciting behind this! He is secretly inciting the hearts of the soldiers and the people!"
The official looked stern and said: "Who is doing this? I will definitely not forgive you!"
Sun Gu said: "I don't know. Your Majesty can order the Imperial City Secretary to investigate!"
The official said: "I know."
Sun Gu said: "I have long persuaded your majesty to give up and go to Lu Huiqing. This person is a treacherous person who is greedy for power and is trying to ask for a holiday to save the envoy. Now that Lu Hedong has won, the peace negotiation has become passive."
"
"It is true that these scholars in the capital are brave and courageous, but they do not know the seriousness of the consequences, and they do not know how to deal with the situation once the Song and Liao wars begin."
"Once there is a war, Hebei will not be able to defend, and the capital will also be difficult to defend."
The officials were silent when they heard this. Sun Gu had said this many times.
Seeing that the emperor was silent, Sun Gu said in his heart: "Your Majesty, please resign!"
The official asked: "What is this?"
Sun Gu said: "Both governments are responsible for the celestial phenomenon of comets, and I may be one of them."
The official said: "This is not your business. If you leave, who can I entrust to you? You will do your best!"
Sun Gudao said: "As soon as today's incident happens, I will be infamy for all eternity. However, I was promoted to Privy Council by Your Majesty. It is precisely because I oppose the war between Song and Liao Dynasties. Now I can only do my best."
The official said: "Please do it boldly! I will support you!"
Sun Gu just now thought of retreat as an advance. Now that he had asked the emperor for his words, he had the confidence to say: "Since your majesty has said this, I can only die ten thousand times to repay your majesty! I retire!"
After Sun Gu left.
The official looked calm and said: "One and two are like this, Zhang Qing is like this, are you the same?"
"Shi Deyi, please go down and the Imperial City Department will do its best to investigate those who are spreading rumors these days!"
Shi Deyi said he retreated.
