Chapter 163: An idea that harms one's virtue
Elder Zeng sighed deeply and spoke slowly, "Humans are essentially no different from animals. If it weren't for teachers who meticulously teach and impart knowledge, allowing people to understand etiquette and the meaning of honor and shame through reading, I'm afraid everyone in this world would still be ignorant. However, even if some people appear respectable and well-dressed on the surface, that's just a disguise. The darkness deep within them and their endless desires cannot be concealed. Just like King Liang, he was capable of such an outrageous act! This is enough to prove that he is inherently evil. No matter how well others treat him or how many favors they bestow upon him, he will never feel grateful, let alone repay the favor."
Zou Tai opened his mouth wide to express his shock and anger, but found that he could not say anything cultured, so he would swear. Forget it, Mr. Zeng and Miss Su were still here, so he should be more polite.
Eat noodles, slurp slurp...
No one else paid any attention to Zou Tai. Zhao Liangchen asked solemnly, "Now that we've found the reason why the Emperor can't have children, how can we replace the Emperor's belongings without alerting Prince Liang? The Emperor has few people to rely on right now, and we can't break off relations with Prince Liang."
Everyone fell silent, and the only sound in the room was the sound of Zou Tai eating noodles: slurp, slurp.
Zhao Liangchen was so annoyed that he couldn't think of a solution. The slurping sound made him even more annoyed. He kicked Zou Tai and said, "Shut up and eat."
Zou Tai staggered after being kicked and glared at Zhao Liangchen in dissatisfaction: "How can you eat noodles if you shut up?"
Zhao Liangchen: "Then keep your voice down. It's making my head hurt."
Zou Tai looked at Zhao Liangchen with disdain: "You blame the toilet for not being able to poop, and you blame me for the noises I make when I eat noodles because you can't think of a solution?"
Zhao Liangchen quickly glanced at Su Qin and said angrily, "Keep your mouth shut."
Zou Tai regretted what he said. There was a girl here, and he had just told her not to be rude.
He raised his middle finger at Zhao Liangchen, then admitted his mistake and said, "I won't say anything more. I was wrong. You guys talk, I'll go to the kitchen to eat."
Su Qin looked at Zou Tai's back in shock, then looked at Zhao Liangchen in disbelief: "Why did he give you the middle finger?"
Zhao Liangchen's face also looked unhappy. He had done this action the last time when he sent Su Qin out of the prison to see Su Qin. At that time, Zou Tai asked him what he meant by this. He was afraid that Zou Tai would cause trouble, so he said that this meant he was admitting defeat.
Although he didn't know what it meant, he knew it was definitely not a good thing and was definitely an insult.
He didn't expect that Zou Tai, the fool, not only believed it, but also remembered it. He just gave him the middle finger to show that he admitted defeat.
How should I explain this to Su Qin?
Su Qin saw that his expression kept changing and was very ugly, and guessed that there must be some misunderstanding. Zou Tai had a good temper and would not curse so badly after Zhao Liangchen said a few words.
Seeing Zhao Liangchen in a dilemma, she considerately changed the subject: "Let's not talk about him anymore, let's talk about business. I do have a way to solve the emperor's troubles without arousing Prince Liang's suspicion, but this method is a bit insidious."
Zhao Liangchen asked hurriedly: "What's the solution?"
Su Qin thought for a moment and said, "We can use the epidemic to make the emperor openly change all his personal belongings."
Zhao Liangchen's eyes widened in shock: "Epidemic? You want an epidemic to break out?"
Zeng Lao hurriedly stopped him, "That won't work. Epidemics are uncontrollable. If they spread, countless lives will be lost. Not only will the emperor be killed, but the common people will also be injured. We are helping the emperor for justice. We cannot kill people in the name of justice. This goes against the will of heaven."
Su Qin explained: "It's not a real epidemic, but a false appearance of an epidemic. There are many medicines that can make people's symptoms look like an epidemic. As long as people have symptoms suspected of an epidemic, the emperor will definitely isolate these people and disinfect the palace for safety reasons. In this way, the things used by the emperor can be replaced with justification.
But in order to make the disease seem more realistic, it must spread more widely, and if necessary, a few people must die. These deaths are unnecessary, and this is murder, which is detrimental to one's virtue."
When they heard that it was not a real epidemic, Zeng Lao and Zhao Liangchen both breathed a sigh of relief. However, when they heard that someone was going to die, they still felt a little depressed, and the room fell silent again.
After a long moment, Zhao Liangchen worriedly said to Su Qin, "According to what you said, the drugs used make it look like an epidemic, but with so many imperial physicians in the palace, can't they see the difference? If it turns out not to be an epidemic, won't all our efforts be in vain?"
Su Qin: "No, we are very cautious about anything related to the epidemic. Once symptoms are found, the patient will be isolated immediately, and even the village where the disease occurs will be sealed off.
Once the imperial doctors enter the epidemic area, they will not be able to leave. You just need to let the reliable imperial guards guard the epidemic area and prohibit people from going out to deliver news. King Liang values his life so much that he will definitely not send his close associates into the epidemic area to investigate.
It would be best to have a few cases of the epidemic in the palace as well. Then the entire palace would be sealed off, the channels for transmitting information would be blocked, and even if Prince Liang wanted to investigate, he would not be able to find anything.
If a few people die, especially the imperial physician who contracts the disease, other imperial physicians will not dare to say it is not an epidemic even if they know it is not an epidemic.
Zhao Liangchen pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay, this is also a good idea.
This way, not only can all the emperor's things be replaced.
There are also spies of the King of Liang in the palace. If someone dies, we can use this opportunity to eliminate some of them. The first person to be eliminated is the director of the Imperial Hospital. Otherwise, it will be impossible to prevent a doctor who is proficient in medicine from harming people."
He smiled at Su Qin and said, "Don't worry about this matter. I'll handle it. Even if there is retribution for damaging my virtue, it will be me. It has nothing to do with you."
Su Qin wanted to say that it was okay, she didn't care about this. If she came up with the idea that doing bad things would lead to retribution, then most people in this world would suffer retribution.
But before she could say anything, Zhao Liangchen stood up and said, "I'm going back first. You guys should get some rest early."
As he was about to leave, Su Qin quickly stood up and said, "I've drawn the jewelry picture for Brother Zou. Tell him to take it to the jewelry shop in the Marquis of Wuning's mansion to have it custom-made."
Zou Tai in the kitchen had not eaten yet, but after getting the blueprints, he happily followed Zhao Liangchen.
After the two left, only Su Qin and Zeng Lao were left in the room.
Su Qin looked at Zeng Lao solemnly. After hesitating for a moment, she finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Grandpa, do you... think I'm too cruel and vicious?"
Elder Zeng sighed deeply, gazing lovingly at his deeply distressed granddaughter. He spoke slowly, "My child, how could Grandpa think this? In Grandpa's eyes, you have the purest and kindest heart. This time, I had no choice. As Liangchen said, the struggle for power is always cruel and ruthless, and casualties are inevitable. Compared to a large-scale war that would have claimed countless innocent lives, what we're doing now can at least keep the death toll within a certain range. It's a blessing in disguise."
Su Qin felt relieved. Mr. Zeng was her only support in Shangjing City. She was afraid that Mr. Zeng might be unhappy but not say it, so the two of them lived in such an awkward situation.
Zhao Liangchen returned to his courtyard, wrote a letter, and handed it to Zou Tai, asking him to deliver it to the palace.
