Zhao Zhen still had an unfriendly expression on his face. It was really too frustrating that he suffered so much and just laughed it off.
"What can I do? Maybe you should have told me the truth at the beginning, but it's too late now."
Zhao Jun said, "Putting aside the fact that I insulted you, aren't you innocent? If I had known the truth earlier, things wouldn't have gotten to this point."
The fourth stage of the four-step method of fooling people: Maybe we could have done something at the beginning, but it's too late now.
Zhao Zhen was so angry that he laughed and said, "So you cursed me and my father. Yeah, yeah, all the ancestors of the Zhao family, all the ministers in the court, and in the end it's still my fault?"
"What else?"
Zhao Jun argued, "Since it has already happened, it cannot be changed. You want to kill me, what can I do? I can only tell you that the Song Renzong in history deserves to be reviled. So do you want to be the Song Renzong who was reviled in history, or change yourself and become a different Song Renzong? It all depends on you!"
These words made everyone think.
Because they found that what Zhao Jun said seemed to be correct, and it actually made so much sense that it left them speechless.
Zhao Zhen in history was scolded, what does it have to do with Zhao Zhen now?
If we change the present, won’t we change history?
The problem is still not right.
Aren’t we all discussing the fact that Zhao Jun had been constantly gossiping and insulting the emperor?
How come the officials in history and now are different?
Lu Yijian, worthy of his position as prime minister, possessed a high IQ. He saw through Zhao Jun's tricks at a glance and said with a smile, "You, boy, are truly born to be an official. You've mastered all the tricks of deceiving people in the officialdom. But you're just making sophistry. The emperor doesn't care that you insulted him. What matters is that you insulted him before, and now that you're in front of the emperor again, can't you say something nice to please him?"
Zhao Zhen was both angry and amused. He couldn't help but stand up, walked up to Zhao Jun, and gave him a light kick. He said, "So you were just trying to fool me. Fortunately, Prime Minister Lu is wise, otherwise you would have fooled me. Prime Minister, you're right. Can't you just be humble and say a few nice words to me?"
Give in?
"No, absolutely not!"
After hearing what Zhao Zhen said, Zhao Jun's voice became much more serious.
He earnestly patted the footprints Zhao Zhen had left behind, raised his head, stiffened his neck, and said to Zhao Zhen, "I can kowtow to you. After all, you are my ancestor, and there is a tablet for you in our village ancestral hall. But asking me to flatter you and say a few good words about you and this rubbish Song Dynasty in exchange for a life of shame and shame? That won't do. A man must have integrity!"
"Um?"
Zhao Zhen's expression also turned serious, and he stared at Zhao Jun unfriendlyly.
He said the Song Dynasty was rubbish again?
The two of them stared at each other, and the atmosphere gradually became strange.
At first, Zhao Jun wanted to play dumb and get away with it.
But now that his thoughts have been pointed out by Lu Yijian and his intentions have been exposed, it's no wonder that he has to straighten his back and resort to force when soft tactics are no longer effective.
