I overestimated myself and was too inflated.
The memorial hadn't gotten very far when I received the suspension notice.
I can only say that I thought too highly of myself. Following Ruihai made me unable to see the situation clearly.
In the final analysis, I am just a small general of the Jinyiwei. There are at least 8,000 people like me in Daxia.
I thought I was so confident that I submitted a memorial concerning such a national affair and even made suggestions. I really took myself too seriously.
Fortunately, I don’t have too deep an obsession with the position of Jinyiwei, it’s just a bit of a pity.
My memorial was not submitted, and a deputy centurion of the Jiujiang County Centurion Office threw my memorial on my desk and suspended me from my post for reflection.
Fortunately, I have something to do, but Ruihai doesn’t have much to do.
After all, no matter what, Ruihai is the prefect of Jiujiang County.
Moreover, he had very impressive results in the early stages. He did have criticisms of Ruihai, but they were not as direct as mine.
There are special personnel to connect with Ruihai.
After the docking was completed, Ruihai looked very ugly.
He did not implement this policy, and as he had done before, he took the initiative to submit his resignation to his superiors.
Ruihai retired again, but this time I knew the reason. Ruihai and I had a long talk.
"The imperial court has always known about the raising of demons, but they don't have a comprehensive grasp of the situation. We only know that almost all the aristocratic families in Jiangnan condone or raise demons..."
"The Jiangnan families are becoming more powerful year by year, but the imperial court is struggling to cope with problems in various regions. The Kyoto army is exhausted and its strength is gradually weakening, and its control over the various regions is becoming increasingly weak..."
"It's rare to find such a way to improve strength these days. Of course, the imperial court must give it a try..."
When saying this, Ruihai's face was cold and his expression was extremely ugly.
He totally disagreed with how to do it, and his tone was full of sarcasm.
"The Jiangnan families all have demons to support them, but the imperial court doesn't. This won't work..."
These reasons and excuses are really shocking. Even I find it difficult to convince them, let alone Ruihai.
But at the same time, when encountering such a thing and the other party has already revealed the inside story, it is impossible for Ruihai to publicize it.
Ruihai would not take the initiative to do such a thing. Perhaps it is understandable, but it is absolutely unacceptable.
"Why can't you accept it? Even if you don't do it, someone else will."
"There are many things you can choose to take a step back and accept at other times, but there are some things you simply can't take a step back on. Once you take a step back, you can no longer even be a human being."
"People can't be used as bargaining chips."
"Then why would others accept it? Don't they have ordinary people in their family?"
Ruihai didn't answer, but his expression became even uglier. I had a vague guess.
Maybe other people really won't be devoured by the demon.
Being able to control demons means, of course, being able to control the demons' food to the greatest extent possible. Perhaps Shangguan promised that demons would never touch people from humble backgrounds or above.
It shouldn't be difficult to do this. You just need to engrave the corresponding instructions into the demon's mind.
The vast majority of officials come from humble backgrounds or above. People with considerable power and status in various places basically have more or less connections with humble backgrounds.
As long as raising monsters does not really harm them, they will definitely agree, because the benefits of raising monsters are also terrifyingly huge.
Such speculations and ideas are quite incredible, even inhumane, but if you think about it carefully, they are really possible.
Ruihai felt quite guilty when he saw me being silent.
I was caught up in this matter, and my future promotion and even my current position were greatly affected.
He felt a little apologetic and apologized to me on his own initiative.
I didn't really care, but I was quite shocked.
Ruihai actually paid the most for this matter. After he learned about the internal situation, he submitted several memorials in succession. I didn't know about it at first, but I learned about it from the chief clerk next to Ruihai several months after I left my job.
It seems that the chief clerk was caught by me.
His words were also very straightforward, and he clearly explained the mastermind behind the scenes.
Anyway, by that time Ruihai and I had already lost our positions. Even if we knew who was behind the incident and even if we had relevant evidence, there was no way to deal with it.
It's really speechless that the eucalyptus broke at this time.
But I still wrote it down carefully. The mastermind behind the scenes was a name I had never heard of. He called himself Yuan Bowen.
They used poisonous insects to control the wife, children and grandchildren of the chief clerk, forcing him to take action.
Later, this chief clerk was exposed, partly out of self-destruction and partly out in the open.
"They don't treat us as human beings. Only Ruihai truly treats us as human beings. But I want to make Ruihai's descendants extinct. This kind of thing shouldn't be done."
"Didn't you do it before? Rui Hai has never changed."
"But the people above have changed. They openly let demons eat people. This kind of thing will shake the foundation of the country."
"Your mother was eaten by a demon."
I saw the chief clerk's face turn grim.
"Yes, I thought that after I became an official, I could protect my family and ensure that everyone in my family would be safe and sound. And that's actually the case. For many years, my family has lived in peace and stability..."
"But now, but now..."
The clerk was so choked up that he couldn't speak.
After a long time, his expression gradually calmed down, but his overall expression was still somewhat ferocious.
"My parents' hatred is irreconcilable, but I don't even have the right to seek revenge. The only person in the world who dares to speak for me might be Rui Hai. How ridiculous! They say that the demon has been skinned and bones extracted, and its soul burned clean, but what's the use of that?"
This chief clerk no longer had his previous elegance and gentleness, and he looked a little crazy.
Perhaps, only by being truly hurt can one truly appreciate Ruihai's extraordinaryness.
"What other memorials did Rui Hai submit?"
"There are many ways to strengthen the Kyoto army, but we cannot do so at the expense of the lives of ordinary civilians. That would damage the foundation of Daxia and destabilize the entire world."
"If we truly want to strengthen everyone's strength, eliminate local ills, and benefit the people, although this path is more difficult, it is more stable, and step by step we will gain the support of the world."
"Using demonic methods may seem like a rapid increase in strength, but in reality, every shortcut you take leaves a huge hidden danger. It's totally not worth it..."
As I listened to the chief clerk read out Ruihai's memorial word by word, I felt a sense of admiration in my heart. Ruihai thought very deeply and far, and was very thorough.
Not only did they deny this shortcut, but they also proposed their own path and their own solution. Unfortunately, although the shortcut has many disadvantages, it has one good thing: it is fast.
