Chapter 1637: Differentiation and Co-optation
This is a great opportunity for people like you who have royal blood to raise your arms and raise your arms to stabilize the political situation...
These words sound like they have some profound meaning!
The fat man in fancy clothes shut up and stared at Liu Rengui's square face, hoping to get some clarification.
Liu Rengui was a warrior, he didn't have any scheming ideas, and he didn't have the patience. He said straight to the point: "Fan Zhenlong has no heirs, and the Fan family is also withering away. You, Zhuge Di, can still be regarded as the blood of the Fan family. At present, the public opinion in Linyi is The situation is fierce, and the people are all dissatisfied with Fan Zhenlong's rule, and they are about to start fighting everywhere. The fire was lit... The Tang Dynasty was a country of etiquette, benevolent and tolerant to the world, and could not bear to see the people of Linyi State in dire straits under Fan Zhenlong's tyranny. If you could stand up and raise your arms and call on all the people to overthrow Fan Zhenlong, then Datang will fully support your ascension to the throne of Linyi.”
"..."
Zhuge Di was stunned and couldn't believe his ears.
Will the people of Tang Dynasty fully support him to become the king of Linyi? !
King of Linyi!
I think it was because my father had strong connections in the court and posed a threat to the throne, so he suffered strong persecution from Fan Zhenlong and his son, and had to live like a slave with his family ruined. What kind of hatred was that?
Over the years, Zhuge Di has dreamed of taking revenge, beheading Fan and his son, and taking them to his father's grave as a memorial!
But what did I hear now?
Not only can he avenge himself, but he can even get his hands on the king of Linyi...
Zhuge Di believed that as long as the Tang people really wanted to help him ascend to the throne, it would be effortless. The strength of the Tang army had already shocked every Linyi people. Those invincible troops who could dominate the world were not just those in Linyi country. Can a ragtag army resist?
Zhuge Di licked his dry lips, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and asked cautiously: "This... what do you need me to do?"
There is no free lunch in the world.
Zhuge Di had never heard this sentence, but he understood the truth.
If you want to get it, you must give something. There is such a thing as a pie in the sky, but more often it is an iron pie that can kill people...
He is not a three-year-old child. Although he covets the throne of King Lin Yi, he is not so foolish as to think that he has the blood of the Fan family to qualify...
Liu Rengui was not surprised by Zhuge Di's reaction. He was a playboy who had been persecuted to the extreme. He had no talent, how could he not be interested in such a good thing?
"Fan Zhenlong's stubbornness led to increasingly tense relations between the Tang Dynasty and the Linyi Kingdom. This not only harmed the interests of the merchants of the Tang Dynasty, but also prevented the people of the Linyi Kingdom from getting more wealth from the trade of the Tang Dynasty. The reason why the Tang Dynasty leased Da Nang was because Do you have any intentions for the land of Linyi State? , but want the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty to drive the development of the Linyi Kingdom. Although the Linyi Kingdom is isolated overseas, most of its citizens are descendants of the Han family. We have the same origin, so we naturally hope that under the leadership of the Tang Dynasty, we can work together. Wealthy, live in harmony, never stop fighting..."
Liu Rengui stared at him and recited what Fang Jun had taught him word for word.
All I have to do is say something as disgusting as "co-prosperity in Greater East Asia"...
Zhuge Di is a little smart, but he doesn't have much political talent. He doesn't care about what Liu Rengui and the Tang people are planning behind the scenes. He just cares about his value to the Tang people, and this value can allow him to ascend to places that he never dared to think about before. The throne of King Linyi...
As for giving?
Zhuge Di was not worried at all.
Since the Tang Dynasty was able to push him to be the king, it was because he hoped to win the recognition of the people of Linyi with his bloodline of the royal family of Fan, so his life would be safe.
As long as your life is safe, what else does it matter?
He has nothing. Nothing in Lin Yiguo belongs to him. Tang people can just take whatever they like. What does it have to do with him...
Zhuge Di suppressed the excitement in his heart, fearing that he would be looked down upon by Liu Rengui inadvertently, so he bit his lip with a straight face, nodded heavily and said: "Don't worry, Lord Governor, I have the blood of Han people in my blood, even if it is Born in a barbarian, I always cherish the tomb of the Han family in the Central Plains. If I can contribute to the unity of the Han people and the Linyi people, I will not hesitate to die without regrets!"
Liu Rengui smiled with satisfaction and said comfortingly: "What are you saying about immortality? The Tang Dynasty is the kingdom of heaven, and the Huayi family is respected. Your Excellency is willing to do your best for the national policy of the Tang Dynasty, and for us. The goal of jointly prospering the Linyi Kingdom has been worked hard. Over there are the heroes of the Tang Dynasty and the Linyi Kingdom. They are famous in history and will last forever! ”
Above the ancient history, the name will last forever...
Doesn’t it mean that my name, Zhuge Di, can also leave a mark in the history books of the Han people, and even be immortalized as the most loyal friend of the Han people?
Oh my God!
What kind of luck did we have? We almost jumped out of the mud, took advantage of the wind, and soared up to nine days...
*****
After Zhuge Di left, Pei Xingjian returned from Sangha Puluo City leisurely and went to the study together with Liu Rengui to discuss the next step.
He ordered the maid to prepare two side dishes and boil a pot of Xinfeng wine, and the two of them sat across from each other and drank.
Pei Xingjian took a mouthful of green vegetables, chewed it a few times, took a sip of wine, and said: "Bhadra Shura is a person, but the situation is like this, so he won't struggle for long."
Those who understand current affairs are considered outstanding. The smarter a person is, the easier it is to make decisions when faced with difficulties, and they basically obey the situation, and few people can go against the trend.
Liu Rengui didn't take it seriously. He raised his glass and touched it lightly with Pei Xingjian. He drank it all in one gulp. While holding the pot and pouring wine for Pei Xingjian, he said: "Let him do whatever he wants. If it suits the situation, you might as well give him a fortune. If you insist on it, you can give him a fortune." It doesn’t matter if you don’t comply, just push Jia Du up.”
Jiadunai is the general of Linyi Kingdom, and replacing Fan Zhenlong as the king of Linyi Kingdom is inevitably a bit unfair, but with the support of the Tang army, who dares to disapprove?
If you don’t accept it, kill them. If you kill them until their heads are rolling, then everyone will accept it...
Pei Xingjian sighed, looked at Liu Rengui and said: "These barbarians from Linyi State were bewitched by the noble princes of Linyi State, and they are resentful towards us Tang people. Sooner or later, something big will happen, so we must act first. The governor and a certain person are at a loss in Huating Town. Dare to act rashly, just in case you take it seriously If it arouses public resentment and is fully resisted by the people of Linyi, the great situation created by Erlang is very likely to be destroyed. Therefore, when the governor went to Chang'an, he asked Erlang in person how to deal with the current predicament of Linyi. What did Erlang say? ?”
Liu Rengui was very interested. Although the policy had been set, he still wanted to hear how Fang Jun made his decision: "Tell me and listen."
Pei Xingjian took a sip of wine, sighed, his handsome face was full of admiration, and said: "Erlang's strategy only has six words, divide, win over, and attack. He said he learned it from a book called "Selected Works of Mao Zedong" ...I think I have read thousands of books, but even if I try hard, I can’t remember which sage this book was written by, I’m really ashamed. Erlang’s knowledge is really admirable!”< br>
Liu Rengui took a chopstick and put the dish into his mouth and chewed it slowly. After a long while, he sighed: "Six simple words can be used in countless ways, but they go straight to the core. Not only can the situation in Lin Yiguo be settled in one fell swoop, Even if it is placed in the officialdom, it is extremely profound knowledge. Erlang is Erlang, awesome, awesome! ”
For example, in the current Linyi Kingdom, the ones who are divided are King Fan Zhenlong, the Prime Minister Bhadra Shura, and the General Gadu. Those who are winning over are Bhadra Shura, Gadu, and Zhuge Di. Naturally, those who are attacking are the powerful and stubborn landlords headed by Fan Zhenlong. noble.
When the situation was established and Fan Zhenlong stepped down, those who were divided were Bhadara Shura, Jia Du and Zhuge Di. The ones who took advantage of the situation were the emerging merchants in Linyi who had taken advantage of the situation. The ones who were attacked were all the nobles and powerful... As for who is Lin? The king of the city is not important at all.
To what extent we should win over each other and to what extent we should strike a blow, it is natural that we have to measure it based on the actual situation. We cannot allow one party to become the dominant one, nor can we completely eliminate any one party. The repeated use of these three methods will inevitably ensure that all forces in Linyi cannot unite and attack each other.
Under such circumstances, Datang is aloof and will surely become the arbitration between all parties. Whoever wants to win this war must win Datang to stand by its side!
Under such circumstances, what kind of benefits could Datang want but not get? (End of chapter)
