199 big plan
Wang Gui's light carriage has always come to Cao Shaozhen's house and the Central Plains has been recovered. Some things should begin. Cao Shaozhen is the most important thing, and Wang Gui must reach an agreement with him.
Cao Shaozhen silently knelt in front of his ancestor's spiritual throne, begging for his ancestors for forgiveness, because he was about to take his family to leave the Cao family, which had been loyal to Daning for more than 200 years.
Although he had already made a decision, what prompted him so urgent was a letter, a handwritten letter from Li Yunxi from Nanyang.
This letter was not long, and just said one thing: There are many etiquette rules missing in the Yan Palace, and no one understands it. He especially needs Cao Yin's help.
The feeling of being needed by others is a very important feeling for a person, and it can solve many problems. Just because of this letter, Cao Yin has now recovered a lot of spirit, and Cao Shaozhen believes that she will soon return to normal.
Does the Yan Prince's Mansion really need it? Cao Shaozhen knew that it was not necessary. This was just His Highness Yan's goodwill behavior, a manifestation of concern and consideration, and a way of recognition of Cao Yin.
Cao Shaozhen felt very lucky to be loyal to such a new master, but it was impossible to rely on the past just like this. He had to show his ability and loyalty.
Changing into brand new clothes, Cao Shaozhen and Wang Gui sat opposite each other.
"Prince Wang, I can't fully control Liangzhe Road Jiangnan Road in such a short time, but His Highness King Yan is different now than last year. Since Hu Chief has returned in defeat and has recovered the old capital Central Plains, His Highness's reputation is unstoppable. Even if there are still people who return home, the problem is not very big under the general trend. Jianning is different. I have been in control for so many years, and with the power of the Li family and Dou family, there is no problem with completely controlling it. I think so. You can't wait for His Highness King Yan to lead the army across the river in person. Let's just overturn this place first. We should bear the reputation of rebellion. If you are not convinced, I will lead the army to pacify. Your Highness directly crosses the river and succeeds the throne. What do you think?"
Wang Gui looked at Cao Shaozhen in surprise, and after a while, he felt that it was natural that the warrior was like this. He either didn't do it, and if he wanted to do it, he would do it to the end at once.
Wang Gui shook his head and said, "I have already asked someone to explore the wind. Zheng Zhiqi from Liangzhe Road and Zheng Zhiqi from Jiangnan West Road is still a little swaying, and Zhong Zhenhua from Jinghu Road has other ideas, and you and I are not convinced. Also, you think, even if they are willing to submit, can the King of Yan give them a higher position than they are now? That is impossible, but it will weaken. If you do as you said, there will inevitably be a civil war. Even if you can pacify, the rich Jiangnan will be destroyed. I understand the King of Yan, which is definitely not what he wants."
Cao Shaozhen said angrily: "You literati are just afraid of this and that. It would be better if they are broken. Anyway, many people are not easy to arrange. Let's solve them all together. Wouldn't it be better to leave a bad but clean Jiangnan?"
"Old Cao, don't be excited. I came here just because I was afraid that you would do something randomly. You also know that Pu Jinzhong from Huaidong Road has been solved. Your Highness's solution is very good. Let me tell you that the generals under Your Highness were originally planning to use the power of the Hu people to completely solve Pu Jinzhong and his army, so that there would be no trouble like what you said. However, the King of Yan did not agree. How could he let his people die for his own interests with his character? Instead, he joined forces with Pu Jinzhong's army to deal with the Hu people, pulled people over in the war, established friendship, and also solved Pu Jinzhong without bloodshed, and increased his own strength. Who can say that Your Highness is a word?"
Cao Shaozhen was speechless.
"Your Highness still needs time to stabilize the Central Plains to sort out the army, and we also need time to peacefully resolve Lu Jinshan and Zheng Zhiqi. As for Zhong Zhenhua, from his actions last year, we knew that this was an ambitious person. After your Highness crossed the river, you and I volunteered to lead the troops to destroy him, destroy Qi Yunhai, and Huang Yao. This not only demonstrates the ability, but also the prestige and hidden power of yours and me can also force the subsidence and remote and difficult places such as Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan, and other remote and difficult-to-use troops. This is already a skill to splash the sky."
Wang Gui knew Cao Shaozhen’s idea, so did he.
"I'm afraid that Your Highness won't let you and me lead the troops then."
Wang Gui smiled and said, "This is not the case. The Hu people who are really threatening to our Han people and the New Dynasty are the Hu people. Your Highness's current mind and energy are mainly to deal with Li Chongshan. Lao Cao, the war in the north cannot be over in a few years or ten years. Your Highness wants to fight Hara and Lin, and to Yinshan. What's more, you and I volunteered to take the blame for Your Highness Yan, and this is the real blame."
Cao Shaozhen's eyes shone brightly, and he was worthy of being a veteran of the three dynasties and the prime minister of the current dynasty.
"What's more, to put it bluntly, you have to give time to Cao Yin to have a child. This is the most important thing. Lao Cao, the old and young people in Ning Dynasty will all rely on your Cao family in the future, and only the Cao family will have the chance. Do you understand?"
Cao Shaozhen nodded heavily.
Wang Gui stood up and looked out the window, hesitated for a long time before continuing, "I don't know if there is a culprit. Let's talk about it later! But you have to know the meaning first, let's think about it carefully. Your Highness was raised by Lin Jianan of the Han Mansion since childhood. Although he is not a real brother, his relationship is very deep, and Your Highness values friendship. However, Lin Jianan is very powerful and capable, and can do great things in such a poor and remote place. If he successfully conquers Hetao in Guanzhong, he will be His Highness's powerful contender for the world. There is no two days, the people have no two masters, and we must destroy Lin Jianan."
Cao Shaozhen didn't think so much, and said directly: "Then I will destroy Lin Jian'an. What's there to hesitate about this? What else do you need to think about?"
"It's not that simple. If there is no major change, Your Highness will never attack first, let alone do your best. Let me tell you that your Highness's loyal subordinates have thought of many ways and cannot alienate the relationship between the two brothers. But we are different. When we conquer Shuzhong, we will inevitably have a conflict with Lin Jian'an. We are not your most direct subordinate. Only we have the opportunity to attack Lin Jian'an unscrupulously, but in the end, they will definitely offend Your Highness. What do you think now?"
"Just think about such a complicated matter. I just need to lead the army to kill the enemy, no matter whether he is Zhong Zhenhua or Lin Jianan, once he makes a decision, he will do it."
Wang Gui was dumbfounded and was so angry that he was not angry. Your mother is a dignified Privy Councilor!
