The teacher shook his head and said, "No, the Grand Master is in control of the government right now. This is not the best time for me to come out."
"Oh?" Liu Hu became interested when he heard the teacher say this. He didn't know why the teacher was so resistant to him.
Although I have used some drastic measures over the years, I can say that I have never done anything excessive to the common people or businessmen.
After all, his main battlefield in recent years has been in the court, and he rarely appears in front of the people, so Liu Hu himself doesn't know when he offended the person in front of him.
The teacher didn't know that the person in front of him was Liu Hu. He sneered and said, "Do you think our great Grand Master will sincerely fight for the Great Qian Empire? Now, he is just pretending to maintain his image. When he is fully grown, it will be time for change."
"Don't talk nonsense." At first Ah Si listened with great interest, but as he listened to the end, he couldn't help but worry for the teacher.
After all, he used to work for me. Even though he is not my subordinate now, Asi still remembers this favor.
A Si took a chair from the back and placed it behind Liu Hu. He kept looking at the teacher, hoping that the teacher would stop talking. However, the teacher seemed not to see A Si's look and continued to speak while looking at Liu Hu.
"However, according to the current progress, the Grand Tutor should take action soon. After all, the State of Yan has already started to act. If the Grand Tutor does not act immediately, it will be easy to fall into a passive position." The teacher sneered, making it impossible to tell his position.
What he said was true. Murong Xin was constantly eliminating dissidents in Yan State. If he didn't act quickly, when Yan State stabilized, he and Murong Xin would fall out.
However, the teacher didn't know that he had already discussed it secretly with Murong Xin, and it was rare for the teacher to see this step.
"Then let me ask you again, if you were the counselor of the Grand Tutor, what should you do now?" Liu Hu asked, showing rare interest.
Since he could see through the predicament he was currently facing, it meant that the person in front of him must have some good solution, so Liu Hu asked.
The teacher smiled and said complacently, "I dare not. I am just a country bumpkin. How dare I give advice to the Grand Master? I just made a random guess when I had nothing to do."
"At present, the Grand Tutor's idea should be to leave Shangjing first and see which people belong to him and which ones are not firm in their stance. When there is a change in Daqian, it will be time for him to return to Shangjing."
After listening to the teacher's words, Liu Hu's eyes became deep. How could a little teacher see through him so clearly? Could it be that many people in the folks have already seen what he had done?
If this is true, then it would be a big deal. What he cares about most is public opinion. After all, the people have always believed that they control the government. Therefore, he dare not and does not want to go any further. What he needs is to make everyone think that the emperor is incompetent.
Sima Yi came to power illegitimately, which is why his descendants suffered such a fate. Liu Hu did not think that far, but he still did not want to come to power illegitimately.
"As for what the Grand Tutor was thinking, I don't know, but I think he made a major mistake. That is, when he was assassinated before, he did not take advantage of the situation, but quietly left Shangjing. What a pity, what a pity." The teacher spoke as if he was Liu Hu. Anyone who saw that expression would think that the teacher was really worried about Liu Hu.
"Then tell me, what should the Grand Tutor do now?" Liu Hu was suddenly interested in the teacher and said with a smile.
The teacher could see that Liu Hu's identity was not simple , but he would never have thought that the person in front of him was the prime minister of the dynasty, the person he had just criticized.
"You are not the Grand Tutor, why do you care about that? But since you are Brother Si's friend, I can give you a piece of advice." The teacher deliberately kept it a secret and said, "Transfer all the money to the countryside immediately. The war is about to start. Although the Daqian Empire will win, we, the common people, will be miserable."
When a country prospers, the people suffer; when a country perishes, the people suffer.
Whenever there is a war, the civilians are undoubtedly the ones who suffer the most. Not only are they unable to protect themselves, but once they are defeated, they may be captured and enslaved. By then, no matter how rich you are, it will be of no use.
"You don't look like an ordinary citizen, so you must have a lot of money. Listen to me, change it into gold and hide like me. Come out when the world is at peace."
Listening to the teacher's endless chatter, Liu Hu laughed and said, "If I say I am the Grand Tutor, would you believe it?"
The teacher was originally looking at Liu Hu laughing and didn't understand what was going on. But after listening to Liu Hu's explanation, he was shocked.
I just said that about the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty, but I never expected that the person in front of me was the Grand Tutor I had always looked down upon. Everyone knows that the Grand Tutor is cruel and bloodthirsty. Moreover, I just said so much about the Grand Tutor's concerns, who knows if the Grand Tutor would kill to silence him.
Liu Hu had so many unlucky thoughts. After all, the teacher was just an ordinary person, and he knew very well how to protect himself. So Liu Hu was not worried at all that the teacher would talk nonsense, and this inquiry was made sincerely.
The teacher knelt on the ground and apologized to Liu Hu: "I just spoke nonsense. Please forgive me, Master."
He had no doubt about Liu Hu's identity. After all, the crime of impersonating a grand tutor would punish the entire clan. Therefore , the teacher completely believed that the young man in front of him was the grand tutor of the current dynasty, Liu Hu.
Thinking of what Huaying had told him before, the teacher suddenly understood why he had to be nicer to Zhiruo and why he had to teach Zhiruo the principles of officialdom.
"I deserve death, please forgive me, Grand Master."
After thinking about this, the teacher felt that he was in great danger, and was afraid that saying one more word would cause Liu Hu's dissatisfaction.
Liu Hu didn't expect that the teacher would react so strongly just because he mentioned his identity. Is he so hateful?
"Get up, ignorance is not a crime." Liu Hu said lightly with a cold tone.
The teacher quickly stood up and stood aside. He no longer had the look of giving orders as he just did. He stood there timidly, like a primary school student being scolded.
Liu Hu sighed. He didn't expect the teacher to misunderstand him so much. He turned to the teacher and said, "Tell me, if you were me, what would you do now?"
"I dare not say it." Knowing Liu Hu's identity, he no longer dared to be as arrogant as before, and had to refuse tactfully.
