Chapter 160: Plan according to the situation! (First update)
Xicheng.
The small courtyard where Xia Zhibai lives.
The door is closed tightly at this moment, and it is even blocked with wood.
The accompanying guards were fully armed and guarding the courtyard with knives.
Hei Wa holds a half-foot-long wooden stick in his hand and is always guarding Xia Zhibai's house.
Don’t dare to relax at all.
Someone is going to commit murder.
Since Xia Zhibai met those salt merchants a few days ago, there have been a lot of people with scrawled hair and beards and fierce looks outside the yard where he lives. Some people even bumped into him, just for the guards. Stopped.
Even so.
There are always many people wandering outside the hospital.
On the contrary, more and more people gathered together.
Hei Wa tried to seek help from the government, but the subordinates of Beiping Mansion excused themselves as being busy and did not send anyone. As for asking King Yan for help, the people from Prince Yan's Mansion shied away from King Yan and went to the military camp. To rectify the discipline in the army, I couldn't get away from it for a while.
We asked for help from all parties, but there was no help.
Hei Wa can only find a way by himself.
Finally, he even called Luda and others over.
Inside the courtyard.
Looking at the people who were fully armed and waiting, Xia Zhibai shook his head helplessly.
He actually persuaded me.
Tell Hei Wa not to be so nervous.
These people are just pretending to scare people outside, and they will not really rush in.
It’s just that Hei Wa didn’t listen and actively took various precautions.
Xia Zhibai shook his head.
He went to the side, and Da Lu and others were still sorting it out. In the past few days, Xia Zhibai taught Da Lu and others a lot of words, and also gave them some math knowledge. People cherish this hard-won opportunity and study very seriously.
Seeing Xia Zhibai coming over, Da Lu glanced at the yard and said with some worry: "Sir, the yard is not safe now, you should stay inside."
Xia Zhibai laughed and said, "It's not safe? Who said that?"
"I think it's safe now."
"Hei Wa, you're scaring yourself."< br>
“Although I know he means well, and I also know that he is worried about something happening to me, but as I said at the beginning, those people outside the house did not choose to rush in on the first day, and they will never do it again later. Attacked me."
"Just a threat."
"By the way, find out the details about me in Peiping."
Talu smiled bitterly.
They are not as confident as Xia Zhibai.
If this guess is wrong, something big will really happen.
Answer Lu Dao: "It's better to be careful. There are many warriors in Beiping. These people have bad tempers and are undecided in trouble. They like to use violence. This time, my lord has taken advantage of them. These warriors have been When you are angry, you may not dare to take action against adults.”
Xia Zhibai nodded.
Of course he knows this.
But he also believed that if the King of Yan could not control his subordinates well, then the King of Yan's ability to run the army would be too poor, and it would be impossible for him to become a famous man in history. The Yongle Emperor.
He still has confidence in Zhu Di.
The warrior is easily angry and impulsive.
The first day he met the salt merchant was indeed the easiest time for things to go wrong.
It did almost happen.
But since nothing happened that day, Xia Zhibai knew that he was safe.
Whether those military attaches have calmed down or not, Zhu Di will ask them to calm down. As for the situation in the past two days, it is just a test made by Zhu Di. Firstly, to scare himself and take the opportunity to express his bad temper. Secondly, I wanted to take this opportunity to find out more about myself in Peking and see what else I had done in Peking.
Zhu Di felt a little uneasy inside.
Because he brought one person to Peiping and did so many things quietly, just under Zhu Di's nose, and even made Zhu Di suffer a secret loss. Whoever this kind of thing happens to will be worried for a while. Chilling down the back.
Zhu Di is no exception.
It’s perfectly normal to do some ‘retaliatory’ or ‘counterattack’ things.
Now it depends on grinding.
Let’s see who loses his temper in the end.
Zhu Di wanted to write a book by himself and bow to him.
Take this opportunity to gain an advantage.
This will allow the two of them to be "open and honest" in the future and gain some advantages.
However, Xia Zhibai saw through this trick early on and was not fooled at all. Except for Hei Wa who went to Prince Yan's Mansion to ask for help on his own initiative, he had no intention of asking for help.
Xia Zhibai is very sure that Zhu Di cannot survive himself.
The group of vicious and Wuyang people outside looked really bluffing, but they were just strong on the outside and weak on the inside, and Zhu Di also knew very well that once he was not tricked at the beginning, he would definitely sort out his thoughts quickly when he calmed down.
The bigger the battle outside, the less confident you will appear.
Because these people dare not act rashly.
Yanwang Mansion.
Zhu Di has been waiting.
Yao Guangxiao clasped his hands together and said with a faint smile: "Your Highness, your idea has failed again. Xia Zhibai was not fooled." Zhu Di sneered and said disdainfully: "So what if it failed? Just treat it like a scare to scare him, otherwise he will still do it. I don’t know who is the real king in this land of Peiping. His small tricks are not worth mentioning in the face of absolute force."
"I. It's easier to crush him than to crush an ant."
"I just don't want to do it."
"It's not that I can't!"
Yao Guangxiao nodded and said with a smile: "Your Highness does have this ability. The main reason why Xia Zhibai dares to hit his nose and face like this is because His Highness abides by the laws and regulations. Your Majesty is kind and filial and does not want to cause trouble for himself, otherwise he will be like Xia Zhibai. It’s not surprising for a crazy and rebellious person to die ten times.”
Zhu Di’s expression softened slightly.
He looked at Yao Guangxiao and said: "Tell me, what idea have you come up with again."
Yao Guangxiao said: "The poor monk thinks that if he continues to be trapped and does not attack, he will have nothing to lose. It makes sense. With Xia Zhibai's intelligence, I am afraid that he has already realized the situation and will not bow to His Highness in a panic as His Highness thinks. If he continues to surround him, he will only become more and more lacking in confidence."
"It's time for this farce to end."
Zhu Di frowned.
He was still a little reluctant.
How many days have we been here?
How angry has he been during this time?
How can Xia Zhibai be so cheap?
He even wanted to let people rush in directly, take a knife and slash in front of Xia Zhibai, and rush to Xia Zhibai in times of crisis to save Xia Zhibai, thus making Xia Zhibai owe a big debt. Only in this way can Dispel your recent resentment.
Yao Guang Xiaodao: "To go too far is not enough."
"Literati are different from warriors. Your Highness's tricks will work for warriors, but for smart people like Xia Zhibai, they will only be self-defeating. Even because of a big embarrassment, it is easy for Xia Zhibai to become jealous, and the gain outweighs the losses. "Judging from Xia Zhibai's work style, he is relatively straightforward in doing things."
"It won't be mixed with too many conspiracy calculations."
"His calculations are only to achieve his goal."
"Such a person is actually easier to negotiate with."
"And"
Yao Guangxiao paused and sighed. He said in a voice: "The ironworker assigned to Xia Zhibai by the imperial court is already on the way. He will arrive in Peking soon. If the matter in Peking is not resolved as soon as possible, I am afraid that it will fall into His Majesty's ears. Instead, there will be a lot of variables.”
“It’s too late.”
Zhu Di did not speak, but lowered his head and fiddled with the iron wrench. Finally, he stopped: "Okay, you go and send someone to inform Xia Zhibai, saying that I, King Yan, have invited me."
"This time he is really advantageous. "Yes." Zhu Di was still a little aggrieved.
Yao Guangxiao shook his head helplessly.
Zhu Di really showed his emotions and anger on his face.
No cover at all.
But Yao Guangxiao also knew that Zhu Di was simmering with anger in his heart. His Majesty had already reduced his wings and suffered from cowardice from Xia Zhibai. Now Zhu Di's temper had been tempered a lot on the battlefield. If it had been before In a few years, even if you are beaten and scolded, you will definitely come back with revenge.
And he was also wary of Xia Zhibai.
This man is so weird.
Under normal circumstances, a wise man will see changes in the world, and then plan according to the situation, move according to the situation, and follow the trend, but Xia Zhibai strangely rebelled against this situation. He took the lead himself. There is a big difference between something happening and then planning according to the situation, moving in response to the situation, and following the trend.
Although it was Zhu Di's own fault.
Take the initiative to provoke.
But Xia Zhibai could seize the handle of a military discipline that no one paid attention to, and then guide him step by step to rectify military discipline. This ability of "using small things to make big things" is too strong. He has vaguely understood that, Why would His Majesty use it instead of killing it now?
Your Majesty wants Xia Zhibai to be Wei Zheng of the Ming Dynasty.
It’s just that Xia Zhibai doesn’t want to be Wei Zheng, he wants to be a ‘sage’ who prays for the people.
However, Ming Dynasty does not need sages.
Your Majesty loves talents and cherishes them, so he chose to use them.
On the one hand, he told Xia Zhibai that there was still a sky above his head, and on the other hand, he was also giving full play to his talents.
Yao Guangxiao hesitated for a moment and said in a concentrated voice: "Your Highness, you may have to take Xia Zhibai seriously. Your Highness, do you still remember how Yuan Gong evaluated Xia Zhibai? Yuan Gong called Xia Zhibai He is the contemporary 'Wang Di' and 'Cry the Blood Cuckoo'. In his eyes, the people are more important than the emperor."
"He has his own persistence in his heart."
"He cannot become the Ming Dynasty. The Wei Zheng of the Ming Dynasty will not become the Wei Zheng of the Ming Dynasty.”
"And for this kind of person, anything that happens will definitely be beneficial to him."
"His current focus is only on business. If he sets foot in the court to serve in politics in the future, he is afraid of what happened in Peking. , will be insignificant."
Zhu Di frowned.
He didn't understand why Yao Guangxiao said these words.
This is the Ming Dynasty, and it is not Xia Zhibai’s turn to do whatever he wants. The reason why he gave way this time was not because he was afraid of Xia Zhibai, but because he was afraid of His Majesty and the Crown Prince who were far away in Kyoto. If not So, is Xia Zhibai worthy of being arrogant in front of him?
Yao Guangxiao held the Buddhist beads and recited a few Buddhist scriptures in a low voice.
He didn't think it was a coincidence.
Once is an accident, twice is an accident, but if it is just right every time, it is definitely not an accident, but a careful calculation, or at least a plan based on the situation.
They take it one step at a time.
Xia Zhibai means taking one step to see two steps or even more.
He always looks higher and further.
And
He is always right.
This is very exaggerated and scary.
If you take out any of the things Xia Zhibai did, there will be no problem in criticizing them. Whether it is rectifying military discipline, wooing lustful people, or relieving beggars, they are almost all correct. And they all hold great righteousness.
Help the world and love the people.
The imperial court controlled power, but Xia Zhibai did not do this. He chose to stick to the people's hearts.
