"Zi Hou, harmony is precious. You are excellent, too excellent, but to speak from the bottom of my heart, it is unwise for you to be the enemy of my adoptive father Yan Song. First of all, it is the forces that surround my adoptive father and Donglou. disciple , old friends, cronies and like-minded people, well, they are also commonly known as the strict party by many people. Their sphere of influence extends from the various departments of the imperial court to local counties and even the inner court. They have great influence. You and such a person Being an enemy of a huge force means making enemies everywhere from the inner court, the outer court to every county. This is very unharmony. Secondly, how old is my adoptive father, Mr. Yange? If you say a disrespectful and unpleasant word, Huang Ni will not be harmed. He is half buried and dying, why are you against him?"
Zhao Wenhua stood up with the teapot, added a cup of tea to Zhu Pingan, gently patted Zhu Pingan on the shoulder, and said slowly .
Zhu Ping'an pretended to be all ears, but he was not moved at all in his heart. The reason why he chose to be an enemy of the Yan Party was precisely because the Yan Party was so powerful that it ranged from the imperial court to the prefectures and counties. , with great power and great influence, the scope of your harm is also large. You bring trouble to the court, harm the people, break the bones and suck out the marrow, and exploit the world. You are already a cancer on the Ming Dynasty. I can't do anything without getting rid of you.
In addition, Yan Song is old, but he can still live for many, many years. He is a rare longevity in history books.
"Zi Hou, my adoptive father is the chief minister of the cabinet. He relies on the trust of the emperor. I can't count the number of his disciples who have been in the ministry, and there are countless officials from the imperial court to the local government. Do you think Is it realistic to overthrow such a huge force by yourself? ”
Zhao Wenhua tapped the table with his fingers, looked at Zhu Pingan with burning eyes, and asked seriously.
"I don't mean that." Zhu Pingan said calmly.
Of course I will not overthrow the entire Yan Party on my own. There is a master Xu Jie and a group of people hiding behind. How can I fight alone.
Zhao Wenhua misunderstood Zhu Pingan's meaning, thinking that Zhu Pingan meant that he had no intention of overthrowing the Yan Party, and nodded with a friendly look.
Children can be taught.
"Zihou, the reason why I dare to put Donglou's instructions behind me is because I have enough confidence and ability to resolve the grudges between you and your adoptive father. Although you helped Yang Jisheng revise his impeachment of his adoptive father, "But I have the confidence and the ability. Do you believe me?"
Zhao Wenhua stared at Zhu Pingan and asked.
"Of course I believe in Master Zhao." Zhu Pingan replied insincerely.
Zhao Wenhua was very satisfied with Zhu Pingan's answer. He took a sip of tea, squinted his eyes and asked with a smile, "Zihou, do you know why I am so confident?"
Zhu Pingan He shook his head. He really didn't know that he helped Yang Jisheng revise the memorial to impeach Yan Song. (It's a pity that Yang Jisheng did not adopt his opinion), and was demoted to a small county in the south of the Yangtze River by the Yan Party. Yan Shifan asked Zhao Wenhua to clean up himself before he left Beijing. They were already at odds, and the two sides were already in a fight to the death. It was really unacceptable. Knowing where Zhao Wenhua got his confidence can resolve this dispute.
"Because my foster father Yan Song has the same hobbies as Cao Cao." Zhao Wenhua twitched his lips and showed a confident smile.
“Like sister-in-law?” Zhu Pingan blurted out almost subconsciously.
"Pfft, Zihou, what are you thinking about?" The tea in Zhao Wenhua's mouth spurted out.
Hu Zongxian on the side couldn't help but spray tea. How could an old guy in his seventies or eighties have such a hobby?
"How could my adoptive father have such a hobby at such an old age? Bah bah bah, even when he was young, he didn't have this hobby." Zhao Wenhua reached out and tapped Zhu Ping'an speechlessly. Zhu Pingan was more careful when he spoke, "Stop talking nonsense, I The foster father Yan Ge Lao and Cao Cao had the same hobby of "cherishing talents". Because of cherishing talents, Cao Cao let go of the martial saint Guan Yu, let go of Changshan Zhao Zilong, and let go of Zhang who killed his eldest son and beloved general Dian Wei. Xiu and Jia Xu reused enemy generals Zhang Liao and Gao Lan..."
"My adoptive father, Mr. Yan Ge, also has this hobby of 'cherishing talents'. Before you became Xu Jie's teacher, you often opposed my adoptive father. However, my adoptive father cherished his talents, so he gave Xu Jie opportunities many times and promoted him to the cabinet. , and you Zihou, you are also very talented, very talented. My adoptive father, Mr. Yan Ge, admires you very much. Really, he said it in front of us. He admires you very much and said that you will be in the imperial court. You are a talented person. A long time ago, Donglou proposed to take you down many times, but my adoptive father Yan Song stopped them all. He said that you are still young, you have become famous at a young age, your mind is immature, and you are easily susceptible to the opinions of the outside world. Being deceived, he said that you have talents and can be cultivated to become a pillar of the imperial court."
Zhao Wenhua then said slowly, mentioning secrets within the Yan Party to show Yan Song's true appreciation of talents.
"Didn't you realize that although you helped Yang Jisheng commit abuse, my adoptive father Yan Song demoted you to Jiangnan. What he did was not to strangle you, but to beat him. He always gave you opportunities. He cherished Your talent.”
Zhao Wenhua said lightly. He patted Zhu Pingan on the shoulder and said in a encouraging tone, "So, as long as you find your way back, you don't even need my kind words in front of your adoptive father, you can turn your hostility into friendship."
Zhu Pingan He looked attentive, but silent.
"Zi Hou, you have to know that my foster father, Mr. Yan Ge, is the chief minister of the cabinet. He is worth more than ten thousand people. He has disciples and former officials or party members all over the world. For you to be appreciated by him is something that many people can only dream of. Opportunity. It is no exaggeration to say that the door to success is open in front of you. As long as you open your legs, you can walk in. Your foster father Yan Song will protect you from the wind and rain, and you will have followers all over the world to protect you. Backups, firearms and powder, food and military pay are all a matter of one sentence. If you make a mistake, some people will cover it up for you, make arrangements for you, and make excuses for you. If you make a contribution, some people will applaud you and congratulate you. I will show my merits to you in front of the Holy One and strive for benefits for you.”
Seeing that Zhu Ping’an was unmoved, Zhao Wenhua stopped going around in circles and listed all the benefits of joining the strict party in a sincere manner. .
Zhu Pingan just twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Perhaps you have different opinions from my adoptive father, Yan Ge, Lao Zheng, and have opinions about him. However, have you ever thought that my adoptive father is already very old. If you are not filial, what can you do? How many years will you devote to the Ming Dynasty?"
"Who will take over the huge power of the Yan Party a hundred years later? , Why can't it be me, Zhao Wenhua? I won't hide it from you anymore. I do intend to take over this huge power. Yes, Donglou is indeed smart and capable, and he is the legitimate successor of his adoptive father. But. , he has too many shortcomings and deficiencies, and he is not suitable to take over this huge force."
"I am older than you. When I wait a hundred years, who will take over this huge power? It is not your generation, and who in your generation can compare with you in terms of talent, merit, and official position. "
"This means that in a few decades, you will be the leader of this huge force, Zihou."
"It is better to lead this force than to overthrow it. "Zhao Wenhua is earnest and good at tempting. (End of this chapter)
