King Chenliu now controls the power and military power in Da Qin.
He had two million soldiers and power, and there were four to five out of ten officials inside and outside the court who listened to him loyally.
There are still twenty-three out of ten others who he can command even if they are not loyal to him.
Neither the Empress of Qin's biological brother nor the late Emperor's biological son, Prince Liang, had such great power.
It can be said that in the Great Qin, King Chenliu was second only to the Empress of the Great Qin.
His ability to achieve this step is inseparable from the blessings of his ancestors and his own abilities.
Being able to manage his power to this point, King Chen Liu is by no means a loser.
He knows very well what face he should show when facing whom.
From Wu Zhongxian's current expression, King Chen Liu knew that this boy was definitely not an upright and loyal minister who was loyal to the emperor and patriotic.
What he is saying now is just to tell himself a truth: there is no benefit, so why should he take risks?
King Chenliu smiled, and he finally became serious and said: "All loyalty comes from profit and income, and all betrayal comes from profit."
Some people don't betray, it's just that the benefits of betraying are less than the losses.
"Wu Jingxian, you are a smart man! Then we will discuss business..."
King Chen Liu continued: "The Li family of Hejian Prefecture is deeply rooted in the Ming Dynasty. With their influence and their cohesion, it doesn't matter who is the master of the Ming Dynasty's land?"
"Whatever the Ming Dynasty court can give you, what the Zhu family can give you, I can also give it to you. What they can't give, I can also give it to you."
"If you help me win this battle, then there will be a fertile land in a county in the Ming Dynasty that will be your Li family's family land."
"I can even guarantee that you will have at least one king with a different surname."
"You know, in the Ming Dynasty, people with different surnames are not crowned kings. There is no way the Zhu family can satisfy you."
After King Chen Liu finished speaking, he leaned back on the chair and looked at Wu Zhongxian with narrowed eyes.
He seemed to have a winning chance, as if he was certain that Wu Zhongxian could accept the conditions.
In his opinion, if he wants money, give him money, and if he wants power, he should give power, and Wu Zhongxian has no reason to disagree.
Wu Zhongxian looked thoughtful, but he was sneering in his heart.
King Chen Liu is indeed very good at manipulating people's hearts, but unfortunately he can only manipulate others, but not his own.
There is a truth that King Chen Liu doesn’t understand, but Wu Zhongxian understands.
That is, as a businessman, you only need to do business. If you get involved in politics, or even get involved in too large a territory, it will definitely be a blessing and a curse.
Judging from the situation of the Li family in Hejian Prefecture, they have daughters who have entered the palace as concubines, but none of their sons have become officials in the court.
Because they knew that with the wealth and influence of the Li family in Hejian Prefecture, their daughter would be confident to become the imperial concubine. If their son became an official, it would be a guillotine on their necks.
When the emperor wants to kill them, he only needs a thought. If someone in their family really becomes an official, the emperor will definitely have murderous intentions.
No emperor has such a big ambition and enough confidence to allow a wealthy family to occupy the court.
But now, if the emperor wants to touch the Li family in Hejian Mansion, he will have to dig his own grave unless he wants to cause chaos in the world. If he doesn't want to be the emperor, he will dig his own grave.
King Chenliu couldn't understand this, because his desire was to pursue personal rights, not to strengthen the family and continue the incense.
He is a careerist and an adventurer, so he cannot really understand what the Li family needs.
If Wu Zhongxian really belongs to the Li family of Hejian Prefecture, then today's attempt to win over Wu Zhongxian based on the conditions offered by King Chen Liu will definitely fail.
Wu Zhongxian smiled and said: "The prince is right, businessmen should give reasons. As for the things of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, scholars should do it."
King Chen Liu nodded. It seemed that this man was still very wise.
"So, you agreed?"
King Chen Liu's eyes shone, as if he couldn't hold it any longer, and wanted to reach directly into Wu Zhongxian's wallet to get the money.
However, Wu Zhongxian shook his head. This made King Chen Liu's face light up with joy, his eyes instantly narrowed with a dangerous cold light, and his whole person was filled with a cold and dangerous aura.
"Wu Jingxian, what do you mean? Do you think this king is not sincere enough?"
King Chen Liu's tone was cold, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging, which showed that as long as Wu Zhongxian said something wrong, he would be violent and hurtful in the next second.
Seeing this, Chen Yi quickly smoothed things over and said, "My lord, don't be anxious. Mr. Wu is not an ignorant person. I believe he just considered it and did not refuse."
"Master Wu, you are a smart man. You should know what to do to maximize your benefits. If you are not satisfied with the conditions, just say that the prince is not a stingy person. We can discuss everything."
Wu Zhongxian, however, seemed not to have noticed King Chen Liu's emotions, and said slowly: "No, Mr. Chen misunderstood. The conditions offered by the prince make it difficult not to be moved."
Chen Yi frowned and asked in confusion: "What do you mean, Mr. Wu?"
My heart is moved, but you agree! What do you mean by this look of refusing to welcome me?
Wu Zhongxian looked at King Chenliu and said in a deep voice: "I, Wu Jingxian, can agree to this matter, but it is only me, Wu Jingxian who agrees. It has nothing to do with the Li family of Hejian Prefecture, nor does it have anything to do with my Wu family."
"I believe the prince can understand what I mean..."
After Wu Zhongxian finished speaking, he looked at King Chen Liu sincerely.
Upon hearing this answer, King Chen Liu's expression paused, and his furious mood disappeared instantly.
He could hear what Wu Zhongxian meant, it was just that he didn't want to express his position before the overall situation was settled.
This means wanting the benefits and being willing to invest, but not wanting to take the risks.
Well, this is human nature. After all, they are still struggling for a living under the Ming Dynasty, and they cannot risk the destruction of the nine tribes by jumping out to support him.
If they really do this, King Chen Liu will suspect that they have a brain problem or have some conspiracy.
Of course, in King Chen Liu's view, Wu Jingxian may also have another intention, that is, he wants to monopolize the benefits and has the ambition to replace the Li family.
However, no matter which idea he had, it had no impact on him. As long as he gave him money, it didn't matter who would pick the fruit.
"Hahaha……"
King Chen Liu smiled and said: "Wu Jingxian, Wu Jingxian! You look like a pretty boy with nothing to do. I didn't expect you to have such an exquisite mind. I really underestimated you just now."
"Okay, I promise you. However, how much money can you give me without relying on the Li family?"
King Chenliu said and added: "The military expenditure required by this king is not a small sum of money."
King Chen Liu tested Wu Zhongxian. He wanted to know whether Wu Zhongxian meant that the Li family was secretly involved, or whether Wu Zhongxian was ambitious and wanted to stab the Li family in the back.
This is related to what attitude King Chen Liu will take to see Wu Zhongxian in the future.
