If an unrelated person is used as an example, Qi Jing will most likely be dismissive. However, if Qi Yu is used as a comparison, he can't help but be convinced.
Others don't know what kind of person Qi Dalang is, but he knows it clearly in his heart.
If even a sincere gentleman like him cannot gain the respect and trust of your Majesty, then it will be even less possible for others.
Unconsciously, Qi Jing recognized Wu Wanrong's point of view.
As far as the current situation is concerned, we are at a crossroads of making a choice. We must seriously consider the next step.
One misstep will lead to eternal hatred, and looking back will lead to a hundred years of regret.
No room for error!
But seeing that Wu Wanrong looked confident, Qi Jing made a tentative question: "Looking at Mr. Wu's relaxed look, could it be that he has come up with some good countermeasures? If so, why not give me some advice?"
Let me give you advice?
This sounds really sweet!
Wu Wanrong smiled happily and said: "Since General Qi has asked, let Wu tell me his humble opinion."
"Okay, sir, please speak!"
"A general is a hero of the world. It is true that a gentleman, logically speaking, should not do the things of a villain. However, things are unpredictable and the king's heart is unpredictable. How can he protect himself without using some deceptive tactics?
?”
"A plan? What plan?"
"In Rong's view, the general can neither return to Beijing to ask for merit, nor hand over the military power in his hand, otherwise, he will lose the capital for negotiation. You should learn from Master Qi and occupy one side and never return. Only in this way can you occupy
Be absolutely proactive and remain invincible.”
Well...
Dominating one side is a sign of disloyalty. If you really do it, your reputation will be damaged for the rest of your life.
Thinking of this, Qi Jing shook his head repeatedly and said: "If you want to stand on your own, it's better to disband and return to the fields, so as to leave a good name that will go down in history. If you do something disloyal, you will be infamy for thousands of years!"
Wu Wanrong immediately retorted, saying: "General, what you said is wrong! Your Excellency calmed down the war and unified the great north. How could such a feat be remembered for thousands of years? You did not hand over military power, it was just an act of self-preservation out of desperation.
, what does it have to do with my loyalty and adultery?"
After a pause, he added: "Besides, even Mr. Qi has embarked on this path, what else do you have to worry about?"
"I……"
"Judging from the current public opinion, Mr. Qi has not gained notoriety for this. On the contrary, he has also gained the understanding and support of scholars all over the world. Since there are tracks and tracks ahead, why don't you just follow the road?"
Facts speak louder than words!
He has a good reputation, and indeed he has not been reviled for this, and he has also won the respect of the world.
It can be seen that the common people's judgment standard is not limited to whether they are loyal to the emperor or not, but there are other criteria as well.
In other words, most ordinary people have sharp eyes and will not be affected by false official public opinions.
Slowly, Qi Jing began to waver.
You don’t have to believe other people’s deeds, but you must believe in the path Qi Yu has traveled.
In terms of his wisdom, he would never choose the next best option. In other words, this method is indeed feasible.
Although Qi Jing is loyal and righteous, he is not the kind of person who insists on being too strict with others. He still has a strong mind in his heart.
"Master Wu, Qi agrees with your point of view. However, I still don't want to damage my reputation. Is there any good solution for this?"
"You still have to take into account your reputation? Let me think about it..."
When it comes to marching and fighting, Qi Jing is absolutely committed to his duties, but as for the game in the political arena, he has just started to get involved. Therefore, he is more willing to listen to the opinions of old politicians.
And Wu Wanrong is just right.
Even though his personal abilities are very average, he is still very good at deciphering the holy will.
While he was thinking about it, he said to himself: "Judging from the emperor's recent actions, he obviously intends to conquer the East. In other words, how to capture Goryeo has become his primary goal after he ascended the throne. General Qi
Why not use it as an excuse to make corresponding arrangements?"
Qi Jing's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he said again: "I would like to hear the details!"
"It can be like this. On the one hand, the general sends envoys to Beijing to meet the saints. While reporting the results of the battle, he also makes corresponding requests for credit, so as to show that you have made great contributions. On the other hand, you can lie about Goryeo's intentions.
Marching into Shanhaiguan, General, you have to change your plan temporarily and stay here to guard."
"In this way, you not only demonstrate your feelings for your family and country, but also create a reasonable reason to stay outside the customs. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. Even if this matter spreads, your reputation will not be damaged, so you can use it. The most ingenious way
Yes, the emperor has always intended to conquer the east, and he will never say anything like ignoring it, so he will definitely not refute this reason, and can only study it from the authenticity aspect."
"This method is indeed good. But what if the imperial court sends someone to summon you?"
"Don't you hear that you will not receive your order from the king outside?"
"It makes sense!"
After such an analysis, everything becomes clear.
What happens next can only be taken one step at a time.
Qi Jing is a very honest person. Since he promised to keep Wu Wanrong in advance, he will definitely not break his promise to him afterwards.
As for how to use this person, he naturally has his own ideas.
Very simple!
He treated him as a nominal guest, letting him accompany him day and night every day to make suggestions.
tomato
Acting under his own nose, even if he wanted to be greedy, he would not find any chance.
Qi Yu once made an evaluation, saying that Wu Wanrong is a typical flattering minister. Although he is a licking dog, he has not done any bad things that are harmful to nature.
Therefore, such people can still be used.
After serving tea to the guests, Qi Jing smiled and asked, "I heard that Your Excellency is not on good terms with Shaocheng. Looking at it now, it seems to be untrue!"
"This moment, the other moment. I think back then, I blindly belittled him because I wanted to win favor. Now times have changed, and the world has changed, but the two of us have become the same person. Since we are no different from each other, there is also
What is there to argue about?"
Is this... turning hostility into friendship?
yes!
But not entirely!
Wu Wanrong sighed quietly and said: "How can there be absolute good guys and bad guys in the court? To put it bluntly, it is just a dispute over interests. In the face of interests, there are neither permanent friends nor long-term enemies.
, they are all involved in each other. This is the way that Rong pursues!"
For some reason, Qi Jing's heart trembled inexplicably after hearing these words.
You said, with the deep friendship between you and Qi Yu, will you be forced to change because of interests? This chapter has been completed!
