Chapter 635 Doing things and being a human being
Yingdu,
Yinzhuxuan,
An estate under the prince's palace,
A great retreat hidden from the world Qingyou Restaurant.
Ping Xihou had no property in Yingdu and lived in an inn, which seemed a bit humble, so he chose this place as his place of residence.
Clearing the place is a must. During this period, there can only be one guest here, Ping Xihou.
Actually,
if you really want to calculate it according to the relationship between people,
this is really a bit unreasonable.
People invited you to come,
People invited you to stay,
but in the end, you slapped the person on the left cheek and then slapped him on the right cheek again.
However,
Politics belongs to politics, and human relations belong to human relations. Anyway, after Mr. Zheng moved in, he did not feel the slightest discomfort.
Think about it from another angle,
The industries under Prince Cheng's palace are all about the people's wealth and the people's blessings. He came to Yingdu and stabilized the situation in Yingdu so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment. They contributed some tax revenue to provide entertainment. You should take it for granted, right?
However,
the most famous silk and bamboo singing and dancing in Yinzhuxuan is not available now.
First of all, Marquis Pingxi doesn't like this kind of atmosphere very much. Secondly, this is not the Marquis' mansion and it has just experienced an assassination incident. How can outsiders come in and out on a large scale?
Therefore,
inside the greenhouse,
it was as quiet and quiet as ever,
only two sparks flew out from the charcoal basin from time to time.
Zheng Houye still had Ge You lying on it, taking a nap.
Down below,
Gou Moli was sitting behind a small table, with a large pile of files in front of him.
Chen Daxia gathered around the brazier and placed potatoes. He enjoyed this bite.
The Juggernaut leaned in the corner early, covered with a blanket, breathing evenly, obviously asleep.
A few moments,
He Chunlai walked in and asked in a low voice:
"Master Hou, do you want a midnight snack?"
Zheng Fan closed his eyes and shook his head slightly.
He Chunlai looked at Gou Moli again. Gou Moli smiled and pointed at the potatoes being roasted by Chen Daxia.
If Lord Zheng is willing to eat fine food and fine food as long as conditions permit, then the Savage King really has no requirements at all when it comes to food and drink.
He Chunlai understood and was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by the Savage King again with a wave of his hand.
"Take a look, Mr. Bei said, you are learning to do things from him."
With that said, Gou Moli pushed the file to He Chunlai's side.
He Chunlai is indeed learning how to do things from the blind man after cooking. In the past, he felt that he was actually quite good at doing things. After all, he had been a middle-level leader in a righteous organization.
But after studying with the blind man, I discovered that I was not even considered a member of the grass-roots team before, and I finally saw what it means to have someone outside the world.
In fact, He Chunlai also read the file on the road.
"Make a list, draw a line, and see if there are any differences among the people who were poisoned to death, such as the masters behind each family, their backers, etc."
He Chun Lai immediately understood and asked: "Do you think that the target of the assassin is not the fifth prince, but the real people who were poisoned with poisonous wine?"
Gou Moli shook his head and said: " You are Mr. Bei’s student.”
He Chunlai was a little excited when he heard this.
“So, I can teach you that most things in this world are not like a table, with an upper part and a lower part, but are often like two chopsticks, held together.”< br>
He Chunlai nodded and said: "Be taught."
"So, in my opinion, the fifth prince was Stinging and poisoning are not in conflict, and there is a gap between them here, because the fifth prince made sacrifices to the victims, burned incense, bathed, fasted, and had few desires. It is impossible to drink alcohol in public situations, so poisonous wine is not It was prepared for the fifth prince;
But the subsequent assassination was for him.
Two things that happen together should serve two purposes, and these two purposes will ultimately benefit one person. "
"Suddenly I felt that my mind was clear. "He Chunlai said.
Gou Moli pointed to the file and said: "Look for it first, and then divide it carefully. So many people have died, and some of them must have died in vain. These people , after arranging them, look for clues from the dead people. "
At this time,
Zheng Houye, who was lying on the couch, closed his eyes and said:
"Sometimes, the reason why many people die is actually to hide the real target."
Gou Moli immediately responded: "The Marquis is wise and hits the nail on the head."
Immediately,
Gou Moli said to He Chunlai: "Go and do the work."
"Okay."
He Chunlai held the file, walked to the other corner, sat down, and began to analyze it by the candlelight next to him.
He was once active in Yingdu. As a being hidden underground, he can actually see the intricate relationships on the surface more clearly.
After explaining the matter, Gou Moli walked to Chen Daxia's side, stretched out his hand, and took a baked potato.
It was very hot, so he could only keep tapping his left hand with his right hand. In the process, he began to slowly circle around the brazier.
Crouching beside the brazier, Chen Daxia said angrily:
"I knew it was hot, but I didn't wait until it cooled down before taking it."
Gou Moli suddenly stopped,
looked at Chen Daxia,
Chen Daxia blinked.
“Yes.”
Gou Moli exclaimed,
and immediately walked quickly to the couch,
said:
“Master Hou, I have figured out something. ”
Zheng Houye, who still had his eyes closed, raised his hand,
Said:
"Say."
"Have the people behind the assassins anticipated the next reaction."
"For example."
"For example, the powerful people in Yingdu will invite you to come to Yingdu to take charge of the overall situation and control the situation."
"Another example."
"Another example, the person behind the assassin can even guess what you will do after you come."
Speaking of this,
Gou Moli suddenly knelt down,
put the roasted potatoes to his side,
He kowtowed respectfully and said:
"No, to be precise, the person behind it should have already guessed what my subordinate would suggest to you, Lord Marquis.
But Lord Marquis, you have a sharp eye and have seen through everything a long time ago, so you deliberately did not act according to the advice of your subordinates, just to go against the foresighted intentions of the descendants.
Master Marquis. ,
Subordinates,
I admire you! ”
Zheng Houye opened his eyes,
turned his head,
looked at Gou Moli who was kneeling under the couch,
Opened his mouth:
“What?”
“Yes, Lord Marquis, killing the fifth prince is an introduction;
Because, no matter how many dignitaries die in Yingdu, It will not alarm you. You are a military meritorious prince. You are not allowed to leave the fief unless it is important. But five After all, the prince is a bloodline of the Ji family. If there is any problem with his safety, it will inevitably cause shock to all parties.
When King Jingnan enters Litian City and no one knows that he can't be invited out, only you can do it. Will come to this former capital to enjoy the show
The Fifth Prince was assassinated, in fact, just to get you here, in anticipation of your next move.
That move,
is the advice given to you by your subordinates,
to loosen the ties in order to become a prince. ”
Zheng Houye was a little dumbfounded,
Said:
“Tear away...”
“Tear away the fog and self-righteousness, and things will become clear.” Gou Moli pointed at his face, “It’s I made the mistake I made. I took everything for granted. I just thought I could take advantage of this opportunity to do something to lay a solid foundation for the Hou Mansion if it wanted to move westward in the future. Basics.
But my subordinates didn’t realize this at first. This introduction was actually left by that person on purpose, and we followed the introduction. In fact, everything had already been done by that person. In the process of planning.
The purpose of that person is to loosen the bonds of Prince Cheng's palace.
At that time,
only three people could do this,
one represented the imperial court;
one was King Jingnan,
the other ,
The one closest to his Yingdu is our Pingxihou Mansion.
After all,
the official face is to be preserved, to be shown to the world, so it is impossible to treat the Situ family badly;
but behind the scenes Here, we can dismember them as much as we want, suppress them as much as we want, and we must never let the Situ family regain its former glory.
This is the general trend, this is inevitable. Only these three are truly qualified to go against the trend.
But the only one who really knows how to take action and can take action is our Marquis Mansion.
So,
The poisoning at the banquet may be a new rotation. Those big shopkeepers, those big families, those powerful people, once the leader dies, the people below will inevitably fight for power. There will be decentralization of power, and new people will be in charge.
The mastermind behind the scenes wants to make room for his own people to take over, or to divide the industry.
This means,
It's too violent and direct. If it were used in normal times, it would definitely not be used like this, because it would cause a huge backlash.
Looking at the opponent from the layout to the end, they are very neat and meticulous, so the subordinates feel that the reason why they used poisoning to forcibly centralize power is because they still have something to rely on.
This reliance,
probably comes from our Marquis Mansion. After the Marquis arrives, according to his imagination, the Prince's Mansion will be loosened.
At that time, the palace can openly absorb the spare power vacuum and various industries. ”
"Everyone in the world knows that I want to..."
"What the Marquis is saying is that the world is in chaos, how can it be possible to see so clearly? In their eyes, Lord Marquis, you are the new generation of soldiers in Dayan. God is the pillar of Dayan;
But some things cannot be hidden from the general public, but they are destined to be hidden from some people. .
They can know from a lot of information what we are doing in Shengle City, what we are doing in Xueguan, and what we are doing in Fengxin City
Anmin, Lixin, and Hongshang. , registered households, etc., even including the simple slips in your residence,
In fact, they are proving to those who are thoughtful that
you have a big heart. ”
Throughout the ages, some smart people, such as generals, would be deliberately extravagant and deliberately ask the emperor for land and houses before going on an expedition. Does he really lack those things?
Really not;< br>
But it is just to defile oneself, to appease the heart of those in power
You don't seek enjoyment, but you work conscientiously. You capture the hearts of the people and the military. What do you want to do?
"Master Hou, it is indeed because King Jingnan is in front that he has blocked us from too many ups and downs. The fact is that the assassin-faced father-in-law of the Qian Kingdom back then was because of the breeze in his sleeves and his body. The military man has a good official reputation, so...
For this reason,
In fact, we are not very good at hiding it.
The status of our Hou family is not good. Ben,
First, with King Jingnan in front, King Jingnan will not fall, and King Jingnan will not...
We can always stand.
The second is His Majesty the Emperor of Yan State. He is talented and strategic. He can allow the two princes to become powerful, control the two most capable field armies of Yan State, and can issue edicts not to allow the rear to interfere with the front line. leg.
His Majesty the Emperor Yan’s situation, he may really not care about it there;
Even, in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor Yan, a person who has no ambition may mean that he has no ability. , he didn’t even bother to use it.
Third,
It’s because our rhythm has always been very good, just like Chu Ge, every step is on the beat. When we were in the snow customs, we were not so conspicuous. Master, although you are a count, but fledgling.
This time, Feng Xincheng was granted the title of Marquis, which actually happened to be at that point. The king of Jingnan was strong in supporting him, and his military achievements were piled up. The interior of the Yan Kingdom was empty, so a strong man must be placed in eastern Shanxi to stabilize the situation.
This is how you, the Marquis, came to the throne. It was a combination of all kinds of coincidences that enabled you, the Marquis, to open a mansion and build teeth!
But,
People who don't care don't care,
It doesn't mean that no one can really see the clues from what we do.
So,
he took advantage of this clue to let us enter Yingdu out of our own instincts and loosen the bonds of the Prince's Palace. ”
Zheng Fan felt that it made sense, but felt that it was too smooth.
He could only say:
"It doesn't necessarily mean..."
Let's do it.
"What the Marquis said is that the real mastermind behind the scenes may not be Prince Cheng's Palace itself, but Prince Cheng's Palace is probably involved."
"What I mean is , not necessarily..."
"What the Marquis said is not necessarily Situ Yu. Although he has grown a little, it is obviously not his turn to support the situation. The Situ family has been established for hundreds of years and has also established a country. The Great Yan army originally wanted to During the war, the Situ family was appeased, but no drastic reforms were carried out in Yingdu. Therefore, there must be many rebels from Jin like He Chunlai, old and young, who are planning to invade later. Yingdu , use Prince Cheng's Mansion as a brand to call on the people of Jin to follow.
So,
My subordinates have been thinking about one thing,
Last time we were in Yingdu. , Sun Youdao's eldest son was causing trouble, but in fact Sun Youdao had retired a long time ago. The old man's subordinates confirmed that he was really tired and didn't want to bother anymore. He just wanted to pass on the family.
Therefore,
The subordinates are very curious,
Those people outside are all dreaming, dreaming that one day they will pull Prince Cheng out and use it,
that itself is inside. What about the people?
They really are,
Have you no idea at all?
No,
Impossible,
They were once the real superiors of Dacheng Kingdom, and they enjoyed the addiction brought by power;
They How could one be willing to watch officials from Yan land step on their heads and show off their power year after year?
The reason why they have been well-behaved is because they are cautious and they have been waiting for an opportunity.
They know that taking action themselves will be more effective, more useful, and more direct,
so,
they cannot afford to lose.
But this does not mean that they are all a bunch of docile lambs.
The subordinate was previously a fan of the authorities, and he was overconfident. Fortunately, Daxia Chen had just given some advice to his subordinate. ”
Zheng Fan narrowed his eyes slightly.
When the conversation got here,
The roasted potato Master Chen was dumbfounded.
He didn’t even Dare to believe,
Are all these statements inspired by your own words?
Myself,
Are you so smart?
Besides, He Chunlai also opened his mouth slightly. Based on this idea, he had already selected several names in the book. The families behind these names all made a desperate move against the savages before Situ Lei died. The person who strongly supported Situ Lei when fighting against the rebels could be said to be loyal.
Even the sword master, who had fallen asleep long ago,
He also opened his eyes at this moment,
He looked at Gou Moli,
He did not think about whether Zheng Fan already had the wisdom in his hands, but he One thing was certain, and that was that Gou Moli had put things together.
The wisdom of the Savage King.
So,
Should we just find an opportunity to kill him?
Zheng Fan smiled,
said:
“There is no evidence...”
Gou Moli immediately said loudly:
"The Marquis is wise. What the Marquis said is that I am acting in the Xihou Mansion. There is no need for evidence!!!"
"..." Zheng Fan.
Finally,
Zheng Fan sighed,
said nothing,
He just waved his hand and said:
"Go down, I'm tired."
Zheng Houye wanted to be alone and quiet.
“Yes, Lord Marquis, don’t worry, my subordinates will go down and make preparations right away.”
Gou Moli retreated, and so did He Chunlai.
Where Chen Daxia was sitting, he continued to peel potatoes. The sword master was still leaning in the corner and dozing off again. They would not retreat, otherwise, Lord Zheng would not be able to sleep.
…………
After leaving the door,
He Chunlai followed Gou Moli closely.
Before setting off, the blind man reminded him to learn from Gou Moli.
An ordinary savage in the snowfield who was not born into an aristocratic family spent half his life traveling around, learning, and thinking, and finally almost achieved great success. This kind of person can no longer be described as a mere "outstanding person".
"According to what you just said, I have already drawn some." He Chunlai said.
Gou Moli nodded.
He Chunlai hesitated to speak.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't be hesitant. The Marquis doesn't like people who are unhappy."
"I feel that what you just said seems to be a little too much..."
"What happened?" Gou Moli turned to look at He Chunlai.
"Since Lord Marquis has understood the other party's intentions in advance and has avoided the other party's intentions, your deduction just now seems to be too showy.
Oh, I understand. Okay, you were not talking to Mr. Hou just now, but you were explaining to us, right?”
Gou Moli shook his head.
“No?”
“Of course not, to be honest with you, I don’t know how the Marquis changed his mind in advance and fell into the opponent’s trap, but I feel that the Marquis should I don’t know the whole story.
It wasn’t Mr. Hou who gave me some advice just now, but I deliberately took advantage of it and acted as if Mr. Hou understood everything and was giving me advice.”
"This..."
"You will also be able to take care of things in the future, and your subordinates will also take care of people. Remember, when your subordinates start to use your name to say that they have understood what you mean, and after receiving your instructions, they will start to analyze it. , when you are clear-headed;
It’s not that you are far-sighted, it’s not that kind of: Oh, that’s what I thought, and you actually said it.
It’s actually your subordinates. I'm just taking care of your face, and I'm trying to flatter you with a higher level of flattery. Anyone who's not stupid will know how there could be such a coincidence in the world, and how could there be a subordinate who understands your thoughts so well? "
"Here, you are fooling the Marquis..."
"You think the Marquis is you? The Marquis knows it very well."
"So, what are you doing this for?"
Gou Moli waved,
He Chunlai squatted a little,
Gou Moli learned In his favorite way, Mr. Zheng,
patted He Chunlai on the shoulder,
The words are serious and sincere:
"If you want to do something, you must first be a good person." (End of this chapter)
