Chapter 596: Nothing
Ping Xihou, Ping Xihou.
Ji Laoliu was not surprised that Zheng Fan was granted the title of Marquis, and he was not even surprised by the word "Pingxi".
The boss is Andonghou. Comparing the four names of the four princes in the southeast, northwest and northwest, they are of the same order. The problem is that the boss cannot point to "west".
Because to the west of Dayan is the desert, the territory of the barbarians.
Ji Laoliu knew that although his father had always been extremely tough on the barbarians, that was just a political gesture.
Under this tough stance, it does not affect the eldest brother's marriage to a barbarian princess and the birth of a prince with barbarian blood.
There is actually a tacit understanding between my father and the old barbarian king.
Dayan wants to expand eastward, overpower the old four eastern kingdoms, inherit the country of Great Xia, and re-unify all Xia;
The Barbarian Royal Court needs time to integrate the various tribes in the desert , to restore the glory and majesty of the royal court;
Everyone has their own things to do, so it is natural to reach a tacit understanding from the outside. Between the two major ethnic groups, they have deliberately created a very experienced way to create a situation where one side is "at war with others" to appease the domestic side. The atmosphere of "mixing honey with oil" appeases the other party.
But if the font name "西" is given to the boss, it will actually destroy this tacit understanding.
The eldest son has married a barbarian princess, and is completely cut off from the line of succession. He inherits the title of Marquis and controls the army. He seems to have real power, but deep down, he has been excluded from the treatment of a prince.
Logically speaking, no matter how big of a mistake the boss makes, as long as he does not rebel, when the new emperor ascends the throne, it is inevitable that he will be restored to the royal title. No matter who the emperor is, he is his younger brother.
Being respectful to brothers and sisters is a necessary process.
Then, the heirs of the eldest son can rise from a higher title, and even if they wait to die, they can survive for many generations.
Many people struggle all their lives, isn’t that just for this?
Throughout the ages, how many royal families have participated in rebellions, and the real purpose is Dabao, only a small part of them, the vast majority are still that "hereditary rebel".
But since the boss has been granted the title of Marquis, he is actually treated as a different surname and given errands. He is granted the title of king... Unless the boss can make a contribution that is not inferior to that of Zhenbei and Jingnan in the future, there is no possibility at all.
It can be said that the father, for the sake of the overall situation, completely sacrificed the boss, and even sacrificed the boss's lineage.
On this basis, if the word "West" is added to the title of the boss, anyone who cares or not will immediately think of the desert in the west.
It is easy to stimulate the nerves of the desert barbarians.
The old barbarian king is said to be dying soon. The little barbarian prince may still have some youthful energy. The old barbarian king may not care about these things, but The little prince may feel greatly humiliated by this.
The girl I love most has married into your Ji family,
What’s wrong,
Your Ji family still wants to use my brother-in-law to fight against my barbarians?
Secondly, it is easy to push the boss too hard and make you feel rebellious, because this is really using people as tools.
It is precisely because the boss cannot get the title of "West",
So it is most suitable for "Andong Hou" to sit in the east of Shanxi and reject the barbarians in the north and suppress the Chu people in the south. At the very least, he can Uncle Zheng, who was indeed in the east, had no choice but to use the title "West".
Anyway, if you mess up the directions, just mess up the directions. Southeast, southeast, northwest, indicates the four directions, not a specific direction.
Ping Xihou,
Ping Xihou,
If you get favor in the future,
either follow the dragon or appease,
it is not impossible to be crowned king. Things,
That is...
King Pingxi.
Ji Laoliu was chewing on these three words in his heart.
Actually, there was something that he had discovered a long time ago, but he never thought about it.
Or it’s rare to meet someone you can chat with,
Either it is rare to meet such a wonderful person,
Or he feels that he is the most intelligent person in the world and is afraid of being lonely and cold.
Or,
he enjoys it very much. process, and deliberately ignore the possible future results.
That is,
His relationship with Zheng Fan.
When Zheng Fan was in Hutou City and Cuiliu Fort, he helped run the Ministry of War, allowing Zheng Fan to escape from Beifeng County to Yinlang County and catch up with the next stage of Dayan's confrontation. During the war, at the same time, the war horses and armor in the early stage are all high-end equipment.
Uncle Zheng was able to raise his troops south several times and fly kites at Ganren because his military equipment was so high. One person had two horses or even three horses. In terms of mobility, how could Ganren compare? ?
But after Gongqian,
Even before Gongqian,
Zheng Fan had already boarded King Jingnan's ship.
Ji Laoliu sometimes wonders, why does King Jingnan value Zheng Fan so much when he was just a small guard?
It’s not that there are no reasons,
but there are too many reasons.
Ability,
In terms of character,
Zheng Fan is impeccable,
otherwise it would not have been possible to impress him at the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
I can only say,
Time is fate.
Since then,
he and Zheng Fan have nominally maintained a close comrade-in-arms relationship,
but Zheng Fan’s station is getting further and further away, and his level of participation in the war is getting higher and higher.
To put it nicely,
Zheng Fan still needs his support,
But to put it harshly,
I was actually rushing around to send money, food, and talent.
Zheng Fan's demand for him is getting lower and lower,
And his demand for Zheng Fan is getting higher and higher.
This is an inevitable change. Political funding and support have always been this process.
When the sponsor's wings become stronger and stronger, you will inevitably need to change your attitude towards it.
The so-called lackey,
is no longer suitable;
What’s even more helpless is that you have paid too much price and effort on him. If you don’t think about your previous Your efforts will not be completely wasted and in vain. You still have to coax him, follow him, and follow him.
The one who owes one hundred taels of silver is the grandson;
The person who owes ten thousand taels of silver is the uncle. The banker has to worry about whether you eat well and sleep well.
Out of the back garden,
get on the carriage.
Ji Laoliu was still a little confused.
Fortunately, he is a smart man, a smart man that even Uncle Zheng has to admit.
He was able to say back then: If my father hadn't sidetracked me, which of my brothers would be enough for me?
This is not a boast, this is a fact.
His opponent has never been his brothers, but his father. The older the emperor, the worse his health, and the stronger his desire to control power.
But this emperor is really wise and mighty.
Ji Laoliu took out the snuff bottle and took a sip to calm down his restless mood.
In fact, no matter how complicated things are, they often become very simple after grasping their essence.
One,
Does he need Zheng Fan?
There is no doubt that it is needed.
A rising star,
No,
it is no longer possible to use the word "rising star" to describe him.
Now, he is qualified to play on the card table.
Because of the war, because of the support from King Jingnan, because of his ability that everyone knows and admires,
him,
Now that you have your own chips, you are eligible to place bets.
This kind of feudal prince,
the prince, needs to be won over;
the new king in the future must also be won over.
In Ji Laoliu's view, the court is actually very similar to a trading house. A trading house also has various financial owners, and the boss is actually elected by the financial owners to take charge of affairs.
Now, Zheng Fan has become a new wealthy businessman who has entered the circle, and you can no longer ignore him.
So,
how to win over?
The methods of winning over people are nothing more than different.
One interest, two friendship;
Xiao Zhi's use of emotions to gain profit may seem extremely clever, but often people who grasp things with both hands will think they are smart, and in the end, they simply won't get the results they want.
Zheng Fan,
is a very pure person.
Ji Laoliu knows this very well.
Therefore,
he must treat Zheng Fan in a more pure way,
Lee, let’s not talk about it;
Love,
get Continue.
When falling in love,
don’t put your interests on the table.
Being friends,
being brothers,
everyone should open up their bright spots.
This was what his father taught him;
The former Zhenbei and now Jingnan actually had the military strength to subvert the government and the opposition, but his father still gave them the greatest trust.
Not taking away power is actually taking away power;
The essence of the emperor's art is to take risks, rather than hello, me, hello, everyone, discuss things with each other, and be harmonious. Got the matter done.
The above situation will cause problems.
Using secret spies to monitor officials, the government and the opposition to win over the two factions to check and balance each other, win over people's hearts and suppress new trends, this is a technique that people are keen on but it is by no means a true imperial technique.
Because of the change of skin, you will find that this is very similar to the method used by the leader of the Pier Lifu gang.
Ji Laoliu reached out and
rubbed his brow.
He took out the paper,
I picked up the pen again and
wrote a letter.
The letter was
very short,
just two words:
"Help me."
Then,
Ji Laoliu crossed out the two words above,
changed them to:
"Help me, brother. ”
After thinking about it,
Ji Laoliu crossed out this line again,
“Help me, brother.”
Hesitated for a moment,
Crossed it out again,
After writing,
crossing,
at the end,
Ji Laoliu finally wrote two words:
"Beast, help me ! ”
Then,
Signed——Bitch.
…………
Back to the palace,
First I went to see my pregnant princess He Sisi,
Then I went to see my concubine Lingxiang,
Finally,
I went to play with blocks for a while with my son Chuanye.
After that,
Ji Laoliu sat in his study.
In the study,
two people were waiting.
One person is short and looks old, with an abacus and a writing brush hanging on his waist;
The other person is tall and thin, a man, but he looks very charming. .
The former,
He is the boss of the dock outside Yanjing City, and behind his back, he is related to the fourth prince.
When the Deng family was not overthrown, the power of the four princes was actually very large. Many businesses derived from the military were mostly related to vandalism, smashing and looting. In essence, it was about who had the biggest fist.
The area at the dock is a piece of territory that can only be secured through hard work.
The Deng family fell due to the failure of the first Battle of Wangjiang, and the dock area was liquidated, but due to the four princes running around, it was ultimately saved.
Possibly,
In the eyes of Lao Si, this is the last shadow of his prince.
But in fact,
it is because this place is not the property of the Deng family nor Ji Laosi.
Silver,
Give him,
Lao Si wants to enrich and organize the Beijing camp,
people,
also give it to him from here;
some information,
also give it to him;< br>
But in essence, this was his Ji Laoliu's territory, but he was placed there under the guise of his fourth son.
Fighting between rivers and lakes requires a ridiculous amount of loyalty;
But this is not fashionable in the court;
Peaceful coexistence is based on the fact that I can’t eat you,
The reason why the Fourth Prince was able to retain some fundamentals after the collapse of the Deng family was not because the Fourth Prince still had any affection, but simply because someone wanted to borrow his skin.
The tall and thin man was an insider, but not from Ji Laoliu's house, but a steward of the inner treasury.
The finances of the imperial court are divided into two departments.
One is the treasury, which is theoretically under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household Affairs;
The other is the inner treasury, which is the emperor's own small treasury. .
However, the internal treasury and the treasury are actually not that clear-cut.
The treasury is running out of money, and the inner treasury must have concluded that as long as an emperor has no big problem with his mind, it is impossible for him to cling to his inner treasury and not let go and watch the treasury run away with rats.
As the actual person in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Ji Laoliu is very clear about the situation of the inner treasury. His father is not easy to enjoy and has always been public in state affairs. Therefore, the situation of the inner treasury is Scale and flow have been compressed to a very low level.
But Ji Laoliu used himself to save his father.
Even if there is no evidence, he can guess that his father must have a back-up plan.
This back-up plan is not because of greed. ,
Rather, it is a necessary means for an emperor to have.
Otherwise,
How does the hidden yamen in charge of Lu Bing outside the Secret Intelligence Department operate?
No matter how talented and strategic the emperor is, it is impossible for him to completely keep himself in a state of "purifying himself and leaving home".
Short Report:
"Your Highness, there are some ships coming to the pier these days. They are very well hidden, but they should be soldiers and armor brought from Sanshi County."
The Deng family of Sanshi was defeated,
but Shou A dead camel is bigger than a horse.
Nowadays,
Lao Si finally has a job with real power,
The Deng family will definitely spare no effort to support.
Sanshi County is the base of the Deng family, and the Deng family still has some influence there.
It is reasonable to transport soldiers, armor and equipment. After all, in the current situation of Dayan, where can he get enough real soldiers, horses, food, grass and weapons to train his new army?
I don’t have any money, but the prince has allocated some money, but at most it can only be a flowery one.
If Lao Si wants to make some "real money" and train an army, he will definitely have to spend a lot of money and drain out the last few elite talents and heritage of the Sanshi Deng family and throw them here. Supporting the capital camp is also the appropriate meaning in the title.
But the problem is,
Ji Laoliu is a person who is good at conspiracy,
so he sees things from a perspective
and often likes to follow the direction of conspiracy theories.
“Your Highness, a batch of goods has recently been taken away from the inner treasury.”
"Where to go?"
"I don't know."
Ji Laoliu nodded and said:
"You guys go down."
"Yes, Your Highness.”
"Yes, Your Highness."
One taller and the other shorter.
Ji Laoliu sat on the chair and rubbed his eyebrows.
Eunuch Zhang came in with tea and placed it in front of Ji Laoliu.
"Master, I have ordered the letter and the previous manuscript to be sent to the east."
Ji Chengjue nodded, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
“Master, it looks like something is going to happen?”
The emperor is dying, and it is a troubled time.
Especially now that the foreign war is about to end,
Without external threats to unify the interior,
Internally,
the "fight between dragons and tigers" will inevitably begin.
"Probably...right."
Ji Chengjue nodded slightly.
“Master, the longer we delay, the more detrimental it will be to us.”
No matter what,
the prince is the master of the East Palace, the crown prince of the country, and the foundation of the country.
If everything remains calm,
wait until the bell rings,
the prince will succeed,
It’s destiny,
It will be difficult to do anything else.
“No hurry, no hurry.”
Ji Laoliu stretched out his hand and waved it gently,
said:
"Zhang Banban, you think we are pressed for time. I guess that Li Yinglian and Li Banban may be saying the same thing to my second brother.
I will step on you and my father will come back again. Pull it, I will step on it, and my father will pull it again;
Without my father’s pull, he would have been pulled down by me,
The roots are not solid,
I feel weak in my heart.
We are here to be afraid that if our father dies, he is justified;
On the opposite side,
Maybe we are also worried about our father before his death
How will we kill the fish and break the net?
The further we get here,
the more we have to stay calm.
My father is a wise king and a good emperor. I believe that my father will not make the same mistakes that most emperors will make in their later years.
Before,
I didn’t see it very clearly,
Now,
as the Chu State is about to end the war,
the following,
will be able to get back on track. "
"Master, the slave is stupid, what is the right path? ”
"On the right track?"
Ji Laoliu took another sip of tea,
said:
"Go ahead and tell our people, those who haven't shown up, don't show up." , those who show up are not allowed to act rashly at all
Now, just wait, wait for Dong Gong to lose his composure
I'm not afraid of the East Palace,
but everyone in the East Palace,
definitely be afraid of me.
Now,
I'll tell you about the right things.
If the war continues outside,
the barbarians in the desert to the west are watching with eager eyes; the war against Chu is like entering a quagmire; the three sides of the Qian Kingdom are lucky and try to get chestnuts from the fire;
In that case,
The fight for the dragon chair is very interesting
The fourth child actually still has a chance, under that kind of environment.
Lao Er and I will definitely have to fight a lot.
Lao Er has hidden a lot of secrets and cultivated subordinates over the years, but here, I guess There are also a lot of nails buried by the second child;
The fifth child is still repairing the river in Yingdu and has not come back, but he is there, which is an invisible move to stay away from the whirlpool of Yanjing. Sell at price.
Even this Xiao Qi doesn’t have no chance.
In short,
foreign troubles are imminent,
domestic troubles must be solved with a sharp knife. The two pinched their noses and each took a step back,
Let Xiao Qi come up to mediate.
Don’t think it’s incredible,
It’s not impossible,
after all, they all have the surname Ji.
Now,
Everything is on track,
Even if my father wants to leave, he still has to take stock of the family's account books.
In the end,
it was still up to the father himself to arbitrate.
When a civil family is separated, you have to invite a respected and respected elder..."
"Master, what do you mean?"
Ji Laoliu nodded,
said:
"So, don't take action yet, no matter how many clever tricks you try, Secret spies, no matter how many precautions are taken, no matter how many things are messed up..."
"Oh"
Ji Laoliu smiled and
said:
“Just as the powerful family heads thought back then, Dayan would not be able to succeed without them;
In fact,
among them,
There really is no shortage of great people.
But,
it’s useless. "
Ji Laoliu sighed,
put the cup lid on the table and turned it gently,
He said slowly:
"If the two kings of the north and the south come to Beijing again, sit with the father, and decide on the successor, Zhang Banban, you think, no matter how many arrangements we have made over the years, it can still be considered a success. Fart?”
Look up,
Ji Laoliu said with some sadness:
"What is the emperor's mind, what is the emperor's method, it is not about being mean, it is not about being amiable, it is not about pulling one group against another, pressing here and pulling out that. Side;
The art of an emperor lies in balance,
Bullshit,
Whoever says this is like a farmer who thinks his father can eat dozens of pancakes a day childish.
The foundation of the emperor’s art lies in,
As an emperor,
he,
can flip the table. "
"What precautions are needed, what arrangements are needed, what arrangements are needed, it's me and the second child, fighting each other to the extreme...
The royal flags of the two kings of the north and the south,
< br>
As soon as I inserted it at the door of the back garden,
my second brother and I had to kneel down to the door of the back garden to
listen to the holy edict. ”
Ji Laoliu suddenly rolled his eyes,
Learning what his brother named Zheng once said:
"Hey, it's nothing." (End of Chapter)
