"Sir!" Ji Chen left and came back again, and returned to the prefect's mansion.
Li Tian was slumped on the Grand Master's chair. When he saw Ji Chen, he groaned listlessly: "Why is Master back again? Did you forget something?"
Li Tian was originally a character who was easily excited and gave up easily. Now that he was in a desperate situation, he had already given up on himself.
After Ji Chen had a brief meeting with the people sent by the fourth prince, he immediately made a decision and quickly came up with a countermeasure, once again showing his "talent" in this area.
Ji Chen walked quickly to Li Tian, bowed deeply and said, "I'm here to congratulate you!"
Li Tian suddenly sat up and said angrily: "Why, are you still laughing at me?"
Ji Chen smiled and said, "Sir, I am here to congratulate you sincerely!"
Li Tian said angrily: "In this current situation, if you extend your head and cut your head with a knife, if you shrink your head, it will still be a knife. What a joy!"
Ji Chen smiled and said, "May I ask, sir, what is the most difficult part for you right now?"
Li Tian said with a mournful face: "Isn't it because the plague is raging and we are in a dilemma?" As he said, he stood up and wiped his tears and said: "Now the people in the city can't save it. My head is going to fall off. If the people in the city want to save it, they have to do it." Let them escape, but if they escape, my head will fall off too... Oh my God, they are forcing me to death!"
Ji Chen smiled and said: "No, no! The most difficult thing for you right now is that you can't explain it to the prince!"
Li Tian said angrily: "Isn't that the same meaning?"
Ji Chen said with a confident smile: "No! Sir, think about it carefully, why does the prince want you to take the blame and make meritorious service?"
Li Tian thought for a while and said, "Is it because you think my money can't be wasted?"
The smile on Ji Chen's face froze, and he was furious in his heart: How can a stupid idiot like this be sitting on the position of prefect? Were everything I said to him before all bullshit? ! This is simply unreasonable! I am full of talents, but why have I been unable to achieve them for so long? How unfair is this God! No, this is not unfair! This is unfair to the court! It's the prince who is being unfair!
Ji Chen lowered his head, his eyes burning with anger and unwillingness, and he shouted hysterically in his heart: If it weren't for these blind bastard officials who controlled the government, a wise man like me, with great knowledge and talent, could only end up like this stupid person. Pig's master! ! I want to change all this, I want to make the world's most talented people like me use their talents to their full potential, and promote talents in any way!
Li Tian saw Ji Chen lowering his head and not speaking for a long time, and he said quietly: "Is it possible that what I said is wrong?"
Ji Chen forced a smile, but he still did not raise his head, fearing that his eyes would reveal his inner activities, so he had to patiently explain to Li Tian again: "Your Excellency, the reason why the prince reinstated the official is because The prince is currently fighting with the fourth prince in the court. If the prince punishes the prince first, it will be equivalent to admitting the responsibility of the prince for dereliction of duty. This is tantamount to giving others a handle and giving the fourth prince a reason to attack the prince... "
Li Tian blinked his small eyes and said, "So?"
Ji Chen took a deep breath and said: "So, your Excellency, you only need to think about one thing clearly: how to avoid causing trouble to His Highness at this juncture!"
Li Tian slapped his thigh and said, "So this is the most difficult thing!"
Ji Chen smiled and said: "On the contrary, this is the easiest thing right now!"
Li Tian was stunned, and quickly and respectfully invited Ji Chen to the table, and then shouted loudly: "Come here, serve tea! Everyone is dead!!"
A maidservant came quickly and carefully poured a cup of tea. Then Li Tian quickly said: "Master, please give me some advice!"
Ji Chen's vanity was somewhat satisfied. He smiled and said, "It's actually very simple. Two words: seal the city!"
Li Tian was stunned for a moment and said, "How is this different from the order I gave before?"
Ji Chen sneered and said, "Yes! The order issued by the Lord is just to prevent those dignitaries from leaving the city, but what the villain means is: Even a mouse or a fly in Taiyang City is not allowed to leave the city!"
Li Tian took a breath of air and said, "The plague is raging in the city right now. If we do this... I'm afraid everyone in the city will die!"
Ji Chen sneered and said: "That is also a natural and man-made disaster! But if you let these people go, you will be responsible if the plague spreads!"
Li Tian looked uncertain and said, "But if there are heavy casualties in Taiyang City... then how can we explain it to the prince?"
Ji Chen sneered and said: "My lord, the most important thing for the prince right now is that no more bad news will reach his ears! Now, if my lord makes even the slightest mistake in his errands, he will give someone a lesson and then attack the prince." If there is evidence, then the prince will naturally hold a grudge against you! If the prince holds a grudge, how can there be any good fruit to be gained?"
"But if you can help the prince solve his problems, once your highness gets through the difficulties, he will naturally think of your kindness! At that time, your Majesty will not only atone for his sins, but also make a great contribution!"
Li Tian was still a little hesitant, he murmured: "But if the prince knows that so many people have died..."
He still remembered that in order to save these people, the prince was really desperate, even risking his own life! If this kind of person knew that he was actually risking his official career with the lives of a city's people...
Then the prince had to chop him up alive
When it came to such a personal and powerful relationship, Li Tian suddenly became shrewd again.
Ji Chen sneered and said: "Sir! What a disrespectful thing to say! For the prince, the most important thing is always the position under his own butt! If the prince fails in the fight with the fourth prince and is deposed, let alone The common people in this world, even if he wants to protect the people around him, it will be impossible! Therefore, at this juncture, if he can even tolerate such a big crime before, how can he not tolerate what he will do next? What about your decision?”
With that said, Ji Chen took a step forward. When he saw Li Tian's eyes flickering and he was obviously moved, he immediately said while the iron was hot: "His Royal Highness will definitely be able to notice the painstaking efforts of your lord! What's more, your lord has controlled the spread of the plague. Although more people have died in Taiyang, there are fewer people who have died outside! Your Excellency, you have merit and no fault!"
Li Tian was completely tempted at this time. He stood up and clapped his hands and said, "Okay!! Someone is here!! Give me my order! Seal the four gates. No one is allowed to leave the city without my order!!"
If Li Tian's previous orders were just out of anger and no one would implement them seriously, but now Li Tian really blocks the entire Taiyang City, it's no joke!
Once Taiyang City was blocked, the plague began to wreak havoc throughout the city, and an inevitable "Death Massacre" took place!
