1055 In Unison (1/2)
”Jin Buhui? That Censorate Minister who once handed up three documents to blame the nobles for not following rules, suggesting to change the imperial exam system and title giving requirements?”
Zhongxuan's brow rose up. He found it really weird. This Censorate Minister's letters always came at the perfect time.
No, he should have been called the ex-Censorate Minister. Yinyu had originally wanted to change some things but in these few years the aristocrats were unstable. Because of the mind stone mine disputes in the country, battles and fights rose up all around.
Helplessly, Yinyu could only send Jin Buhui to an outer land to become a Rank Seven County Magistrate.
By doing this, he was also trying to keep him alive. Those three documents offended all the Great Shang aristocrats to death.
He really didn't expect that he wouldn't be willing to live peacefully at the border lands, his latest document was directly aimed at the Emperor.
Did this person think that a Haoxuan Sect would be able to protect him?
He was really silent, Zhongxuan bowed and took the document over from his table.
He looked at it for a moment and also felt speechless.
Jin Buhui mentioned within that they couldn't send troops because of rage and they couldn't fight such a meaningless battle.
Due to the Saint Zhu's anger, invading Great Gan was wrong. Great Gan didn't do anything and now, they were attacking them.
His points were preposterous and amusing to him. However, there were some details behind which made sense.
He said that Great Gan Ruler Zong Shou was a rare talent, not only was he good in the martial path, being invincible in the Cloud World, but his governance and military ruling methods were top class, so it would be tough to beat him on the battlefield.
At this moment, Great Shang was really strong and prosperous, their ocean trade was well developed. The network they laid out in the south was really interconnected.
Great Gan army would be able to get convenient replenishments of resources and they also had the geographical advantage. If they dragged out the battle but didn't fight, the 10 million Great Shang Army would collapse.
Even if Great Shang forced Zong Shou to a fight, they would be falling into a trap.
Anyway, the letter only had one meaning in it which was that the moment Great Shang entered the south, they were definitely going to lose.
What Great Shang needed to do now was to calm down their own country and fix their politics, not giving Great Gan any excuse to invade them. Then, they could try to expand to the outer region. They shouldn't have been trying to become enemies with Great Gan.
He did sound knowledgeable but he made things out to be too easy. It was because Great Gan was strong that they had to wipe them out now, to crush their foundations in the Cloud World.
This was the best chance…
Zhongxuan shook his head and placed it down.
”It really doesn't make sense, he actually dared to scold the Saint for turning the facts around, for holding you hostage, and interfering in governance. He really is bold. What is Your Majesty planning to do about it?”
”Anyone who messes troop morale, kill!”
Yinyu was still furious, his eyes filled with killing intent, ”Before attacking the south, using him to sacrifice our flags seems good too!”
To say that Zong Shou was a wise Ruler, then Yinyu was definitely an ignorant Ruler in Jin Buhui's eyes.
He said that Zhu Zi held him hostage, so as a Ruler what was he?
He originally thought that Jin Buhui was a usable official which was why he doted on him. Now looking at it, he was truly a heartless traitor.
Just one look and Zhongxuan knew that Jin Buhui planned to toss out Jin Buhui to gain the hearts of the aristocrats and vassal states. If Jin Buhui died, the relationship between the Imperial Court and the aristocrats would become much better.
