So, a fool is a fool, and he is stupid and doesn’t realize it, so his thoughts are exposed all at once!
Jia Zheng was extremely shocked and spoke his true thoughts, which immediately attracted the surprised looks of Wang Ziteng and Shi Jia Shuanghou, and the evaluation of Zheng Laoer in his heart suddenly dropped a lot.
It’s not that it’s bad for him to be ambitious. Who among us children doesn’t have ambition?
Fighting for the position of head of the family and grabbing family resources is the daily life of a direct descendant of a powerful family, okay?
But Jia Zheng is too conceited. He usually behaves like a hypocrite. When he attacks the big house, he doesn't take the lead, but lets his wife take the lead. Of course, Mrs. Wang's nature is the same, even if she is not asked to take action.
Neither is possible.
But Zheng Lao Er has been holding on to it. Now after hearing the decisive decision of the eldest master and knowing that there is no possibility that the idea in his heart will be achieved, his true colors are immediately exposed, which is really despising.
"Why, brother, do you have any objections?"
The eldest man said something lightly, and the second son, Zheng, was speechless.
What a joke, the head of the Rongguo Mansion at this time is Lian Er. Even if all the big houses are destroyed, it will not be the other side's turn to benefit, unless the emperor personally intervenes.
But it's not easy to meddle in things like this nowadays.
Once it starts, there will be a lot of troubles in the future, and it is not easy to be the emperor.
The words ended quickly, and the elder brought the topic to Wang Ziteng again, smiling leisurely and saying: "Brother Wang, tell your sister, what will happen to Brother Wang if the Rongguo Mansion is completely destroyed!"
"snort!"
Wang Ziteng's face was very ugly. He stared at his troubled sister and said helplessly: "Sister, if the big house in Rongguo Mansion is destroyed, it won't take long for your second brother to be completely idle!"
"How can it be?"
Mrs. Wang looked in disbelief, shook her head and said: "Second brother, aren't you the envoy of the Beijing Camp? You are also the emperor's confidant, and you will have a bright future in the future!"
Tsk!
"So, it's terrible to be uneducated!"
The elder shook his head and sneered, and said angrily: "Brother Wang has served as the Jiedushi of the Beijing Camp for a long enough time. No matter how much trust you have now, you have to leave the Beijing Camp and find another appointment!"
Speaking of this, he sneered and said, "Do my brothers and sisters think that Brother Wang will be able to control the official position of the Jiedushi of the Beijing Camp forever in the future?"
"so what?"
Mrs. Wang sneered and said: "With the second brother's merits and status, the emperor will certainly let him be promoted!"
"Gao Sheng, how to Gao Sheng?"
The elder said with a smile: "Brother Wang is following the path of a military attache. If you want to advance further, you have to either go to the local area and become a military commander, or you can only serve as an inspector without much real power!"
"What steps do my brothers and sisters think Brother Wang can take and what steps he will take?"
The elder also lamented Mrs. Wang's ignorance. He didn't know how the Wang family taught their daughter. She must at least teach her some of the rules in the officialdom clearly.
"No matter how my second brother arranges his arrangements, won't the Wang family still prosper?"
Mrs. Wang didn't care much about this, and said with a sneer: "It's better than the great master's Shuntian Fu Cheng!"
"Hahaha……"
The elder laughed heartily and smiled at the cold and handsome prince, "Brother Wang, what do you think your sister said?"
"snort!"
Wang Ziteng naturally had other plans, and he would not say it right now. He glanced at the elder with a sneer and said in a deep voice, "What advice do you have, Lord Engrave?"
"I don't dare to take advice, but I still understand Brother Wang's thoughts!"
The elder said calmly: "If Brother Wang goes to be the commander-in-chief of the army in the future, he will probably stop there in the future. Since the Wang family has no successors, it is estimated that it will decline quickly after Brother Wang takes office!"
At this point, he changed the topic and said with a smile: "Of course, if Brother Wang is unlucky and gets involved in the royal family fight, if he doesn't do it right, his family will be confiscated and his family will be destroyed!"
"Jia Enhou, are you being too alarmist?"
Wang Ziteng's face darkened and he said with dissatisfaction: "Although Wang is not talented, if he can really be the commander-in-chief of a local military town, it will not be so easy for others to control him!"
“It’s not easy, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible!”
The elder said unceremoniously: "If you really go to a local position and the royal family fights, the choice will not be up to you, brother Wang!"
"Why do you say that?"
"Brother Wang is still playing charades with me. If I are kicked out of my official position by your sister and fall down, your prince will have no allies in the court. You can only protect yourself by joining a certain faction!"
The elder chuckled and said directly: "Is this true, Brother Wang?"
"Haha, I didn't expect Enhou to see so clearly, it's true!"
Wang Ziteng pondered for a moment, and finally nodded helplessly. He glanced at the shocked Mrs. Wang. Although he didn't say anything, he already made his attitude clear.
If you want to get along well in the officialdom, or even get better at it, how can you do it if you don't have a few interest allies?
In the original work, Ning Rong's second mansion was completely defeated, and Wang Ziteng naturally looked down upon him. With his backing, he was able to empty out the foundation of Rongguo mansion without any psychological burden.
But the situation is different now. The eldest master and Lian Er are making a lot of noise in the affairs office. Even if others don't see any signs of their alliance, the names of the four major families are not a joke. If others want to trick people secretly, just
You have to weigh the big master's reaction.
In particular, the eldest master violently attacked Prince Zhongshun in broad daylight, displaying terrifying martial arts skills. If you want to deal with Wang Ziteng's forces secretly, you must also consider the eldest master's attitude.
Even though the official position of Shuntian Mansion is not high, the power of Shuntian Mansion is not small. The eldest master is responsible for the daily management of Shuntian Mansion, and the power in his hands is really not small.
If they are willing to find trouble, no matter which force they are in, they will suffer or even suffer heavy losses.
No joke, as the Shuntian Prefecture's control over the ground in the capital has gradually strengthened, the security environment in the entire capital has greatly improved, which has already affected the gray industries in the hands of some powerful people.
But so what, the Shuntian Mansion's methods were quite mild, and there was no radical move at all. The powerful people who were affected by the gray industry couldn't get a handle on it, and they didn't want to completely fall out with the big boss, so they could only admit it with their noses.
This kind of thing is not a secret in the circle of officials with real power above the third rank in the capital, and it can be seen from this that the eldest master is definitely a person who is not easy to mess with.
As the representative of the Wang family, the four major families, Wang Ziteng, although he did not reach any agreement to form a tacit understanding with the big boss, he still received a lot of benefits.
At least, there are fewer knives secretly targeting him than before.
The main reason is that the number of impeachments on Yanguan's side is much smaller than before, among which the deterrence of the elders accounts for a very important proportion.
Wang Ziteng clearly felt the benefits of having an alliance of interests in the court. With the relationship between the four major families, as long as there was no serious conflict of interest, basically allies like the eldest master would not attack him. This was enough.
.
At this time, how could he allow Mrs. Wang to affect the eldest master's career because of the so-called internal disputes in the Rongguo Mansion?
Obviously, Wang Ziteng's reaction dealt a heavy blow to Mrs. Wang.
But the elder felt that this was not enough. Based on his understanding of Mrs. Wang, she was really a short-sighted woman who could do crazy things for a little immediate gain.
The biggest asset she dared to be arrogant in Rong Mansion, apart from the children she gave birth to, was the power of the Wang family.
As long as she can make him realize clearly that the Wang family will not be her reliance in the future. In view of the deterioration of the big house in the Rongguo Mansion, if she wants to make any small moves against the big house in the future, she must carefully weigh whether the effort is proportional to the gain.
"Brother Wang, if I guess correctly you want to take another path!"
The elder smiled and said: "There are really not many ways to advance as a military attaché. The Sixth Department is very tightly controlled by the civil service group. The other noble forces among the Eight Lords will not allow Brother Wang to take advantage easily. They have to jump out of the capital.
Only with this big whirlpool can Brother Wang gather the strength to attack the cabinet!"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Ziteng's expression changed slightly, and he remained silent without opening his mouth to refute.
The Shuanghous of the Shi family, who had always regarded themselves as the background, were shocked. They all looked at the silent Wang Ziteng, with thoughts in their hearts agitated.
Wang Ziteng's ambition is really shocking!
He actually wants to directly enter the cabinet as a military minister. If such an idea spreads out, he will definitely be laughed out of his mouth.
Are you kidding me? Who among the cabinet ministers is not the leader of a certain faction? What qualifications does Wang Ziteng have to get involved in it? I'm afraid he could be beaten down in just one encounter.
It's not that the two princes of the Shi family look down on Wang Ziteng, but that he knows the strength of the four major families and has no power to promote a cabinet minister!
"Let me guess, Brother Wang's next step is either to patrol the border of the nine provinces or to control the nine provinces, a position that is neither embarrassing nor embarrassing!"
The elder continued his analysis: "If we really get to this point, Brother Wang will basically have no way to retreat, otherwise he will be completely marginalized and never make a comeback!"
As he spoke, he looked at the confused Mrs. Wang and said with a smile: "My brothers and sisters may not know that if Brother Wang wants to go further, he must get my support. Only then can he gather part of his strength to attack the cabinet. Otherwise, Brother Wang and the Wang family will only have
Downfall!"
Seeing Mrs. Wang's expression of disbelief, as if she had been struck by a huge blow, the elder laughed loudly and said: "Really, if the younger brothers and sisters continue to target the elder, just wait for Brother Wang and Brother Wang to abandon him.
!”
"No, no, no, how could this be possible? What you said, second brother, and what the elder said are all lies, right?"
Mrs. Wang shouted at Wang Ziteng like she was crazy, but what she couldn't believe was that Wang Ziteng remained silent and did not speak.
Strike!
Such a result is definitely the heaviest blow to Mrs. Wang!
The eldest man’s words not only reveal the fact that the Wang family is not as powerful as imagined, but the most important thing is that in the eyes of the head of the Wang family, her daughter who is married outside is not as important as the false interest alliance of the eldest man!
