The number of ten thousand is actually the bottom line for wealthy husbands.
This sentence was so hurtful that Zhao Zongji's face turned red immediately: 'So they treat me as nothing? Those flattery is just to coax a child?'
"For this disarmament," Sima Guang said slowly, "Ms. Fu has paid a lot, compromising with the Liao Kingdom, compromising with the generals, and adopting an attitude of succeeding at all costs. All parties must give him face..."
After a pause, he said: "My official heard that originally Mr. Fu wanted to do it himself."
"Yes." Zhao Zongji said, "But the officials didn't allow it. They said it was for the sake of their children and grandchildren, so they left the job to us."
"My husband cannot do it himself, so he can only pretend to be the hands of the princes." Sima Guang said lightly: "So the result, good or bad, all depends on the actions of the princes. If they are all perfunctory like us, the thunder will be loud and the rain will be light.
, and it passed peacefully." He paused and said, "The discovered shortfall of 30,000 to 40,000 yuan can certainly make Mr. Fu look good, but it cannot achieve the purpose of knocking on the general's door. In a few years, he will be flooded again.
.”
"This is a contradiction." Zhao Zongji frowned and said: "If Mr. Fu only wants to look good, then why should he harm his reputation and compromise with the Liao Kingdom?"
"The pass is right here!" Sima Guang showed a 'cowardly' look and said in a deep voice: "So his true thoughts are far more than what he claimed! He is ready to let go of his sleeves and fight!"
He said at once: "Why should we set the rule of 'let bygones be bygones'? It's not because we are afraid of those generals, but just to give them some breathing room when we take drastic measures, so as not to end up in a desperate situation!"
"But, I haven't seen Mr. Fu do anything else?" Zhao Zongji shook his head.
"Oh, this is a gentleman." Sima Guang sighed softly and said: "The most important thing to avoid in a minister is to obey the law and violate the law. The rich prime minister will show the world and will never challenge the imperial edict."
"Why didn't the officials let the rich prime minister take action?" Zhao Zongji never thought about this question.
"The officials didn't let Han Xianggong take action, right? And Bao Xianggong," Sima Guang said politely: "If these Xianggongs who responded to everything were killed in person, the destructive power would be too great. Thirty-six strategies inside and outside the plate, of course,
It was dizzying to see, but the imperial court was also in chaos." He hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "This can be seen in the previous struggle over the selection of ambassador and prime minister."
"The officials forbid the participation of the three husbands. Let the competition take place at our level. If there is trouble, it will be easy for the husbands to clean up. If they end up, only the officials will deal with it." Zhao Zongji said softly: "Really?"
"Yes." Sima Guang looked at Chen Ke, who had been listening with a smile, and said in a deep voice: "If we all do this perfunctorily, Mr. Fu's plan will be in vain."
Sima Guang's insightful analysis made Zhao Zongji feel like he could see the sun from the clouds. He looked at him with more respect and said, "Then what should I do?"
"It depends on the young prince's original intention." Sima Guang said slowly: "If you value the Song Dynasty more than yourself, that's one way of doing it. On the contrary, it's another way of doing it."
Zhao Zongji said solemnly: "Our country and our people are as heavy as Mount Tai, but our achievements are as light as a feather!"
Sima Guang's eyes narrowed and he looked at this heroic young man again. He muttered for a while and said, "Really?"
"Whether it was the Liuta River four years ago or my trip to Liao this year, I never thought about myself." Zhao Zongji said proudly: "It was like this in the past, and it is like this now. It will not change in the future! If I waver a little, I will
Tell me to be shattered to pieces, and everyone will be betrayed and separated from me!"
These words were so explicit that Chen Ke couldn't bear to listen anymore. He thought to himself that this guy sleeping with his wife must not know what adequate foreplay is...
Sima Guang was also a little unable to bear it, but in this context, it is still reasonable. Just think of it as a young man who is a little more excited... Guangguang comforted himself in this way.
He adjusted his mood by drinking tea. After putting down the tea cup, he raised his head and said seriously: "The time and place are favorable for the people. If you don't fight, you will not be the son of a man!"
"Okay!" Zhao Zongji slapped the table and raised his glass: "After this drink, let's work together and do it vigorously!"
"Sir, you don't drink." Chen Ke said softly.
"I'll drink!" Sima Guang said solemnly: "Guang sacrifices his life to accompany the gentleman!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After coming out of Yipinlou, Sima Guang declined the two people's greetings and walked home. The Sima family had been officials for generations and was said to be wealthy, but Sima Guang lived an extremely simple life and never enjoyed the slightest enjoyment.
"I thought it was a piece of ice," Zhao Zongji said with emotion as he looked at the place where he disappeared, "I didn't expect that there was a blazing fire hidden under the ice."
"Yes, I don't have that fire in my heart." Chen Ke said lightly: "It's not our cup of tea either."
"Yeah." Zhao Zongji nodded and whispered, "You didn't say much?"
"Sima Junshi attaches great importance to status. If the name is not correct, his words will not go smoothly." Chen Ke smiled bitterly and said: "I am not a dispatching officer. If I talk too much, I will only annoy him."
"Yes," Zhao Zongji said softly, "I feel that this kind of gentleman cannot be recruited."
"Yes, a gentleman is not a partisan." Chen Ke said lightly: "If we didn't have a small friendship, others would regard me as a villain."
"Haha." Zhao Zongji laughed and said: "Ouyang Gong's "On Clique" can be regarded as the most masterpiece in history." It actually intimidated the government and the opposition for twenty years, making hundreds of officials afraid to form cliques.
"My teacher will not think of this as a compliment, it will be a lifelong shame for him." Chen Ke shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But although they will not surrender, they will always have judgments and tendencies in their hearts. This is at a critical moment, compare
Your loyalty is of great use..."
"The other day you said Han Qi was a favor," Zhao Zongji said, "I thought it was the highest level of forming a party."
"That's what makes you respectable," Chen Ke said with a smile: "Only those who have received the favor appreciate it. If you are respected, people, no matter how far or near, will speak for you. The so-called 'the benevolent are invincible'." After a pause,
He smiled and said: "But for key figures, it is still necessary to combine the two. It is more powerful to make them grateful."
"But how can such a gentleman, who has no desires or demands, show favor to him?" Zhao Zongji said, "Recommend him for promotion?"
"He will definitely refuse." Chen Ke said decisively. It was very common for officials in the Song Dynasty to refuse appointments from the court. The court was helpless and would not punish you: "And we will resolutely draw a clear line with you."
"What should we do?"
"Sneaking into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently." Chen Ke said leisurely: "But you have to find the place where he needs it most before you can nourish him."
"What he needs most..." Zhao Zongji thought about it: "Probably is to wash away the shame of Qu Yehe and let Xianggong Pang rest in peace."
"Not bad." Chen Ke nodded.
"But this is beyond my power." Zhao Zongji shook his head and said, "Things in the northwest are too far away."
"In fact, a game of chess among the Three Kingdoms, with careful planning, can lead to victory thousands of miles away." Chen Ke said softly: "I have a plan to make the Xixia people dedicate the heads of their unfavored pets to the Song Dynasty."
"Oh..." Zhao Zongji was really shocked from ear to ear this time, even his little tongue was exposed.
When Chen Ke revealed the whole plan, his eyes widened like bells: "Is it that simple?" He believed that the plan of temple calculation, to take the heads of powerful ministers of other countries, must go through extremely complicated planning and cost a lot of money.
It took countless money, countless meticulous work, and ten or eight years to achieve it. Who knew that Chen Ke completely subverted his cognition, with only an understatement: "Can you get rid of Cao Cao in Xixia just like this?"
"Don't watch advertisements to see the efficacy." Chen Ke said with a smile: "Anyway, we have nothing to lose. We are chasing rabbits, so why should we hesitate?"
"If it is true as you said," Zhao Zongji stared at him closely and said, "Do you know what it means to the person who proposed the strategy?"
"Of course." Chen Ke said with a smile: "From now on, he will be the wisest person in the king's heart, and he may even reach the sky in one step."
"Why give the credit to him?" Zhao Zongji said seriously: "There is no need to make such a sacrifice."
"There's no sacrifice..." Chen Ke opened the car curtain, looked at the bright moonlight outside, and said in a calm tone: "The official family has been suppressing me, and so have my husbands, right?"
"Yeah." Zhao Zongji sighed and said, "I am the one who harmed you. We are too close, and the officials and the princes still have opinions after all."
"So, what's the use of me bringing it up?" Chen Ke turned to look at him and laughed at himself: "Should I be suppressed or suppressed? No matter how hard Sun Monkey struggles, he can't escape from Tathagata Buddha's Five Finger Mountain."
"Sun Monkey?" Zhao Zongji asked curiously: "Which book is this allusion from?"
"Oh, Monkey Sun." Chen Kexin said, forgetting that it was the Song Dynasty now, so he smiled and said: "He is a gang boss. Later, he was sentenced to a long term imprisonment because of his confrontation with the court. He wanted to escape, but the court's prison was very strong.
, but ultimately failed. Later, after serving his sentence, he changed his mind and worked as a security guard. Finally, he solved the staffing problem and became a glorious people's urban management officer. This is such a story."
This was not the first time that Zhao Zongji heard him talk about weird things. If he didn't understand, he just thought that he was reading too many things and didn't take it seriously. He raised his hands in surrender and said, "Let's get to the point. Let's get to the point."
"The main point is that this credit is of little use to me." Chen Ke smiled slightly and said lightly: "But if you give it to Sima Guang, he will remember it and become your strong support. In the future, you will really be able to achieve great things.
, he will also be loyal...Who do you want to give it to?"
"Zhong Fang, thank you." Zhao Zongji looked at him deeply and said.
"Don't look at me like that." Chen Ke joked: "If she were your sister, she would be fine."
"Anyway, you already have two wives, why don't you let Xiang'er follow you..." Zhao Zongji said, half jokingly, half seriously.
"I feel like I have nothing to thank you for, so I can only use the girl to pay off the debt?" Chen Ke spat: "Let's see if your father doesn't break your legs."
"Alas..." Zhao Zongji smiled bitterly and said, "That's right." It is absolutely impossible for a dignified princess to be someone else's third wife.
