Chen Tong was stunned for a moment.
To be honest, there were so many things happening recently that he was so busy spinning like a top that he never had time or energy to think about the meaning behind these things.
In fact, subconsciously, Chen Tong felt that it was useless to think about it. What he thought might not be right, and it would only increase troubles. Even if he thought correctly, it was still a problem that the people above him needed to think about and solve. What should he be busy with?
So at this time, when Zhou Changshou suddenly asked such a question, Chen Tong subconsciously said: "Isn't it to create panic and shake the court's prestige in the eyes of the people?"
"This is just the most superficial level. There are too many ways to achieve the two goals you mentioned, and other methods and means are gentler, less likely to anger the court, and more effective. But, this
If a person chooses the most direct and cruel way, then he is either a fool or he has other agendas."
"Can a person with such generosity be a fool? No, not only is he not a fool, but he is an extremely smart person. So there is only one reason, he has other agendas."
Zhou Changshou seemed to want to remind Chen Tong. This time he made it very clear and thorough, and said in a persuasive way: "In fact, if we want to attack the Yamen, we can just find some scapegoats to burn the Yamen and kill the imperial officials. This method is stupid, but there is one
The advantage is that the results are quick and almost immediate, but have you noticed that in this entire process, two people are completely redundant?"
Chen Tong is not an idiot. Zhou Changshou's food was put into his mouth. He immediately tasted the salty taste and blurted out in horror: "Brothers of the Lin family!"
"Yes."
Zhou Changshou nodded, and the expression on his face that said, "At least you're not hopelessly stupid," made Chen Tong a little hurt.
"Since the thugs were doing things with their faces covered, why did they go to the trouble of asking the Lin brothers to report their names directly and then go to even more trouble to shout out their reasons in public? The purpose is just one, to detonate conflicts."
"Contradiction? What contradiction?" Chen Tong asked as Zhou Changshou's train of thought had been completely carried away by Zhou Changshou.
"Conflicts between the imperial court and merchants."
Zhou Changshou narrowed his eyes slightly and said.
Chen Tong's eyes widened. Although he understood, he still couldn't understand the meaning.
Zhou Changshou was about to say something more when someone came out with the Lin brothers.
Seeing this, Zhou Changshou swallowed his words and said: "There are still people waiting in the palace, so I will take them away first."
Although Chen Tong felt very uncomfortable, he also knew that the business was important, so he immediately agreed and arranged for people to escort Zhou Changshou and his party into the palace.
At this moment, in the palace, Zhao Qinglan, Su Jinpa and Su Zhenting were in the study room, while Zhou Ping'an was talking eloquently.
"Everyone, I would like to describe this kind of contradiction with an adjective that His Highness once taught me, that is, class contradiction."
Zhao Qinglan and Su Jinpa were very interested, while Su Zhenting frowned.
For a military general, although he was pretty good at politics, it was really difficult for Su Zhenting to understand what class conflict was.
But this does not prevent Zhou Ping'an from describing in an almost fanatical tone: "Many times, I feel that His Highness should not be a human being at all."
