Chapter 0586 I, Political Consultant Wang Zeng, was arranged
"The official is actually pretending to be sick?"
Kou Ji looked surprised.
Wang Zeng said with a dark face: "Don't pretend to be confused because I know you understand. You and the officials are pretending to be sick at the same time. If there is nothing fishy in it, I will take off your head and kick it as a sepak takraw ball for you."
Kou Ji's face turned bitter and he muttered: "You have wronged me. I pretended to be ill just to hide my capabilities and bide my time. It was you and my grandfather who advised me to hide my capabilities and bide my time."
I just pretended to be sick based on your advice.
How can you see a good person from afar?"
Wang Zeng stared and said: "Didn't you say that you have the world in mind and are ready to manage the world? Aren't you unwilling to hide your strength and bide your time?"
"I was unwilling before, but now I am."
Kou Ji said with a serious face: "I came back with a great victory before, and was flattered by the people. It was inevitable that I was a little arrogant and said some shameless words.
These days, I calmed down and thought about it at home, and then I realized that managing the world is a complete joke."
Wang Zeng stared at Kou Ji in astonishment, "What do you mean? Do you feel that you are not talented enough, or that you are inexperienced, or that someone is walking by your side?"
Kou Ji shook his head and sighed: "I don't live long enough..."
Wang Zeng blinked, not understanding the meaning of Kou Ji's words.
Kou Ji sighed and explained: "How big is the world? My Song Dynasty only took over a small Hexi, and it took more than a year. It took even more time to take back the sixteen states of Yanyun.
Compared to the world, what is Hexi?
What are the sixteen states of Yanyun?
Just for these two small areas, we have to spend years, even decades, of work.
If you want to conquer the world, the time it takes will increase exponentially.
Can I live for hundreds of years?
Can't live.
Since you can't survive, why talk about managing the world?"
Wang Zeng opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
When Kou Ji explained to him his ambition to manage the world, he was a little excited.
I complained in my heart that I was older, otherwise I would have been able to participate.
Now that he heard what Kou Ji said, Wang Zeng realized that at that time, his thoughts were led astray by Kou Ji, and he did not consider the time.
No matter how great your ambitions are, they all seem insignificant when faced with time.
This is not something Wang Zeng made privately, but there are examples to follow.
For example, Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han were praised throughout the ages.
Both of them are undoubtedly talented people.
They probably had the same idea as Kou Ji, to conquer the horizon and manage the world, so that the whole world would be the king's land, and the shores of the land would be the king's ministers.
But both of them were defeated by time.
They are ambitious and ambitious, but they have no time.
That’s why he pursues immortality.
With the two examples of Emperor Qin and Emperor Han and Wu in the past, Kou Ji's worries are not a fantasy.
It is a very practical and realistic idea.
Seeing that Wang Zeng fell into silence, Kou Ji continued: "Since managing the world is a joke, then I can only calm down and hang out in the Song Dynasty hall peacefully.
Since I want to hang out in the court of the Great Song Dynasty, I have to hide my strength and bide my time to prevent myself from embarking on the path of being unbeatable.
Lest everyone in the world cannot tolerate me and let me die."
Kou Ji solemnly continued: "I cherish my life very much. I want to live a long life, so I have to follow your and my grandfather's advice and keep a low profile."
"Why……"
Wang Zeng sighed, stared at Kou Ji and asked, "Do you really plan to give up managing the world and hide your strength and bide your time?"
Before Kou Ji could speak, Wang Zeng said hesitantly: "We don't have enough time, we still have future generations..."
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, not expecting that Wang Zeng would actually say the same thing he said in Shazhou.
Kou Ji guessed that Wang Zeng was probably really moved by his previous words and had the idea of conspiracy for the world.
Kou Ji wanted to have a good chat with Wang Zeng, but in the end he held back.
He sighed and said: "Prince, we are not sure whether our descendants will follow the road we have paved. The late emperor is a living example.
When the late emperor was young, he often went to the palace to accompany Taizu. He also often said that he wanted to be a general on horseback, leading the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty to fight in all directions and make contributions to the Song Dynasty.
Taizu praised him a lot for this.
But after the late emperor ascended the throne, did he really fulfill his promise to Taizu?"
"Why……"
Wang Zeng let out a long sigh again.
Because what Kou Ji said was another cruel reality.
No one dares to say what future generations will do, or whether future generations will follow the road they paved.
Seeing that Wang Zeng was silent, Kou Ji continued: "So, Mr. Wang, the reason why I am hiding in the palace and pretending to be ill is not because I am planning something behind my back, but because I followed your and my grandfather's advice and kept a low profile."
Wang Zeng pondered for a moment, nodded doubtfully, and asked: "Then do you know why officials pretend to be ill? Why do officials indulge in civil and military strife?
More importantly, how could the government allow such an important thing as Yizijiaozipu to fall into the hands of outsiders?"
Kou Ji said dumbly: "How can I know what the officials are thinking? If you want to know what the officials are thinking, just ask them."
Wang Zeng glared at Kou Ji and said angrily: "If the officials are willing to tell me, do I need to ask you?"
Kou Jiqian laughed and said: "If you think that Yizijiaozipu must be in the hands of the imperial court, you can just fight on behalf of the imperial court. The officials pretended to be sick and refused to speak, maybe they wanted to use this to clean up the palace of the Prince of Wei.
He has a pulse, but the official cannot go into battle himself, so the official is waiting for someone to help him."
Wang Zeng frowned and said: "The officials have just recalled the people from the Wei Palace. If we take action to deal with them now, will we gain a reputation as unkind?"
Kou Ji laughed and said: "The Wei Prince's family has already done many domineering things in just a few months after returning to Bianjing City. The name of domineering has spread throughout the Song Dynasty.
When the officials deal with them, they are also in line with the people's wishes.
I don’t know if the officials will gain a reputation as unkind after they take over the Wei Prince’s family.
But I know that after the official family cleans up the lineage of the Wei Palace, the people will definitely praise the official family for their wisdom and martial prowess."
Wang Zeng nodded slowly and added: "It is not an easy task to clean up the lineage of the Prince of Wei now. The civil and military conflict has reached a dire straits. The lineage of the Prince of Wei is on the same side as the civil servants. I
It is difficult to win over other civil servants to deal with the Wei royal family.
If I use the power of martial arts to deal with the Wei Prince's family, I will cut myself off from the rank of civil servants and may become a lonely man."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "The civil and military conflict in the court originated from the elements of Yizijiaozipu. Now that the civil and military ministers are fighting, some people have forgotten the fundamental purpose of this civil and military conflict.
If someone can represent the imperial court and retrieve some members of Yizijiaozipu from the homes of Qian, Meng and Mu.
Bring Yizijiaozipu back to the forefront.
Then the civil and military attention of the entire court will be drawn back to Yizijiaozi Shop.
At that time, it will become the side of the imperial court, the side of the Wei Palace, and the side of the martial arts heroes.
The three parties are fighting for their own interests and have nothing to do with their civil and military affiliations.
When the time comes, whoever you want to lead and punish whom will all be competing for interests and have nothing to do with civil and military affairs."
After listening to Kou Ji's words, Wang Zeng thought for a moment, nodded and said: "I will go back and visit the residence of Qian Le and the others to see if there are any of them who are sensible and willing to hand over Yizijiaozipu."
Kou Ji smiled and nodded.
Wang Zeng suddenly looked at Kou Ji and glared at Kou Ji fiercely.
"You and the official family owe me a favor!"
Wang Zeng dropped these words and without waiting for Kou Ji's reply, he snorted coldly and left Kou's mansion with his hands behind his back.
After Wang Zeng left, Kou Ji let out a long sigh, "It's hard to fool smart people."
Although Kou Ji tried many times to cover up and make various excuses, he tried hard to draw a clear line between himself and the Yizijiaozipu matter.
But Wang Zeng still passed his words and heard some clues.
So when he left, he snorted coldly and said that Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen owed him a favor.
Fortunately, Zhao Zhen exists here.
Otherwise, the fate of deceiving Wang Zeng will not be solved by a simple favor.
With Wang Zeng's temper, if he was really angry, he would probably push Kou Ji to the ground and beat him.
Don't look at it, Kou Ji is now the Duke of the country.
Wang Zeng still dared to fight.
When Wang Zengzhi Chang Pingcang, he even dared to chop off the heads of the emperor's relatives, so how could he be worried about Kou Ji's identity?
Once Wang Zeng made a move, Kou Ji didn't even have the chance to fight back.
Even though Wang Zeng, Kou Zhun, Li Di and others are all very old, their personal strength is more than a little bit stronger than Kou Ji's.
Not only did he learn martial arts, but he also used a sword to kill on the battlefield.
Far more powerful than Kou Ji.
Wang Zeng left the Kou Mansion and returned to the palace, where he had a private discussion with Lu Yijian.
Then Wang Zeng appeared outside the palace again and walked to Mu's mansion.
Mufu was once an imperial merchant, and Wang Zeng felt that by persuading the shogunate, the shogunate would be more likely to defect to the imperial court.
However.
Wang Zeng did not expect that when he arrived at the Mu Mansion, he met Mu Chong, the head of the Mu family. As soon as he explained his intention, he was politely rejected by Mu Chong.
Mu Chong's thoughts are very simple.
Mu Mansion initially only had 20% of the members of Yizijiaozipu, but now they have handed over 10% to the Wei Palace. With the blessing of the Wei Palace, they have saved their lives, so there is no need to give up the other half.
.
Mu Chong felt that after the Wei royal family took action to protect him, the official Zhao Zhen did not take action against them again, which meant that the official Zhao Zhen temporarily let them go for the sake of the Wei royal family.
Since there is no danger for the time being, we can wait for the price and sell it at a high price. Taking advantage of the current civil and military conflicts over Yi Zi Jiao Zi Pu, we can sell the members of Yi Zi Jiao Zi Pu at high prices.
Yes.
After Mu Chong realized that he was weak and powerless in the face of power, he did not want to be a member of Yizijiaozipu.
He planned to use the protection of the Wei Prince's family to deal with Yizijiaozipu's members in exchange for a large amount of money, and then take his family to leave Bianjing City and return to live in Shu.
The nature of businessmen is greedy.
If they think it is profitable, they will never give away their profits to others for free.
Mu Chong and Meng Weizhong were undoubtedly qualified businessmen, so Mu Chong rejected Wang Zeng.
Meng Weizhong also rejected Wang Zeng when he came to visit him.
After being rejected by two families in succession, Wang Zeng felt very unhappy.
He pinned his last hope on Qian Le.
When he arrived at Qian's Mansion, he was in a daze.
The people besieged inside and outside Qian's Mansion were very domineering, and no one was allowed to approach Qian's Mansion.
Wang Zengliang revealed his identity, and after several rounds of notification, he entered the Qian Mansion and was welcomed into the main hall.
Wang Zeng sat in the main hall for a long time, but did not see Qian Le.
Until Wang Zeng became impatient with the waiting and was about to ask.
A man with a pale face and no beard took a document and handed it to Wang Zeng.
When facing Wang Zeng, that man was neither humble nor arrogant.
"My master asked me to give it to you, Prime Minister Wang."
The document was handed to Wang Zeng, and the man said simply.
Wang Zeng glanced at the beardless man, then lowered his head and glanced at the document in his hand.
Although Wang Zeng had already guessed that the current trend of Yi Zi Jiao Zi Pu was related to Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen, but now that it was confirmed, he still felt a little unhappy.
Kou Ji kept saying that the current changes in Yizijiaozipu had nothing to do with him.
If it really had nothing to do with him, then why did everything he told Wang Zeng come true?
Wang Zeng has already obtained Yizijiaozipu's members.
As long as Wang Zeng publicizes it in the name of the imperial court, the scene of the three parties fighting will immediately appear.
Everything seemed to be arranged.
Not like.
To be precise, it was arranged.
Wang Zeng could even imagine what the scene would be like after it was announced that he, on behalf of the imperial court, had obtained Yizhijiaozipu members.
The officials quietly took 20%.
The remaining 40% is extremely precious.
For the sake of those 40%, the three parties will definitely fight fiercely.
Maybe after the news spreads, some people will wonder if this is a trap set up by the officials?
But if there is doubt, then there is no need to fight?
From the beginning, everyone knew that the officials were determined to win the members of Yizijiaozipu.
They still take action just to get something out of the fire.
It's not that no one knows that the Qian Mansion is controlled by people in the palace.
Many people know.
But why didn't they have any suspicion of being plotted?
That's because when everyone was fighting, they saw the people in the palace taking control of the Qian Mansion, and they knew that Zhao Zhen had taken members of the Qian Mansion into his mouth.
Zhao Zhen was the first to snatch the members of Yizijiaozipu, and it was Zhao Zhen who was the first to make arrangements.
As the number one person in the world, Zhao Zhen has done so much to get back the members of Yizijiaozipu. If he gets nothing, he will probably go crazy.
By then no one will be able to make a profit.
So after everyone learned that members of the Qian Mansion were eaten by Zhao Zhen, they did not fight for it. Instead, they watched Zhao Zhen eat members of the Qian Mansion.
Now that Zhao Zhen has eaten a portion, he has already benefited from it, and the possibility of being mad has been reduced to an extremely low level.
By snatching the other 40% of Yizijiaozipu's members, the anger from the officials was reduced to a minimum.
The probability of success has also been greatly improved.
