Chapter 38 The Ascending Strategy
"The good days have just begun, but unfortunately there are people who are willing to be moles and pry the foundation of the lonely king.
The more ambiguous the words, the more they will decompose different meanings in the ears of different people. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the sound of the old courtiers below, the mole in Gongzijun's mouth naturally refers to Zhanbai, even if this metaphor is quite inaccurate, but under the preconceived idea, it is automatically ignored.
But in Zhanbai's view, the mole man plays the role of digging the foot of the wall, so among the people here, in addition to these old courtiers, he himself connects Wen Buqi and others, because the newcomer is far from qualified.
"Rats crossing the street, naturally everyone shouts and beats, in the eyes of Lao Chen, this kind of goods, the capital is not enough to kill." I don't know if Chu Chunqiu is old, his ears are not good or other reasons, he directly classifies the mole as a mouse that he says he understands.
"Oh, is that really going to be the case?" Gongzi Jun seemed a little unbearable, and looked at the others inquiringly.
"What Lord Taibao said is very true, I hope that the prince must not do the kindness of a woman, so as not to spoil a big thing." In their hearts, all the old courtiers stood on Chu Chunqiu's side with neat steps.
"Hey, since everyone agrees, then Lone can only be as good as a stream." Gongzi Jun intentionally or unintentionally ignored the opinions of Zhanbai and Wen Buqi and others, and this made the old courtiers more and more proud.
"Someone!" Gongzi Jun suddenly shouted loudly outside the hall.
In an instant, there were hundreds of people in the sixth rate of the murderous rush into the affairs hall, swords and guns were numerous, and the unique killing on the battlefield immediately filled the entire hall, and for a while, the temperature was cold.
"Take them down, but if there is resistance, they will all be killed."
They?
Could it be that it is not only Zhanbai who has to deal with today, but also those newcomers who have been dealt with together?
The ecstasy in the hearts of the old courtiers had not yet completely bloomed, and they all froze immediately, just because these more than 100 princes were actually coming towards them with murderous spirits.
"Childe, what do you mean by that?" is worthy of being the head of civil officials, in the face of such a change, Chu Chunqiu was the first to react, but his originally ruddy old face was a large area of iron blue at this time.
"Why did Taibao say this, didn't King Gu just follow your wishes?" At this point, Gongzi Jun no longer has to wear a mask of hypocrisy, and his smiling eyes exude a chilling glow, "Moles are big and small, naturally there are more and less, stealing power but not thinking of retribution, only caring about the fat head and big ears that they eat, such a person, what is the use of keeping the lonely king." ”
"Take it." After some words, Gongzi Jun finally lost all his patience, and with a sudden wave of his hand, the Changge in the hands of Shizi Liulu was set up against those old courtiers.
"How so, how so?" Half a step of heaven fell straight into the Nine Hells, such a result undoubtedly made it difficult for many old courtiers to accept, many people who were not mentally strong, had already cried and grabbed the ground, and even worse, their legs were weak, and they actually fell to the ground.
In such a situation, including Chu Chunqiu, there is not even a single one who has the heart to resist.
You must know that in this hall, there are no martial arts, but they all have good cultivation, if it is really a ruin, even if it is six rates for a hundred princes, if they don't pay a heavy price, they don't want to be good.
These old courtiers either cried and grabbed the ground or wagged their tails to beg for mercy or complained, but no one resisted, and this made Gongzi Jun more and more disappointed.
It's only been a few years since they lived a good life, and wealth has completely destroyed the fighting spirit of these people, and they still want to rely on them to achieve great things...... Gongzi Jun only felt a great irony.
The six rates of the prince did not encounter resistance, but there were a lot of sprinkling moves, but if the sprinkling was useful, what else did they need to do with the blades in their hands?
Although he did not receive the order of the killer of the prince, it did not hinder the brutal law enforcement of these armorers. Whenever he encountered a sprinkler act, he unceremoniously hit it with a fist, and invariably put a wooden flail made of seals on the man's head.
After taking the prince to escort many old courtiers down, the Shizheng Hall finally became quiet, no, to be exact, it should be dead silence.
From beginning to end, Zhan Bai didn't say a word, and the old god was sitting in his place, and the same is true now.
Gongzi Jun also didn't say a word at this time, his face was full of gloom, and he didn't know what to think again.
As for Wen Buqi and others, they have not yet woken up from this series of changes that can be called a big reversal.
How so?
Things shouldn't be like this, those old courtiers who were proud before turned out to be prisoners after a glass of wine. Gongzi Jun actually disposed of the old courtiers who had followed him for more than ten years in order to show off his own people, and he didn't even give the slightest face.
For Gongzijun, this is such a spirit.
For Zhanbai, what a means this is.
Wen Buqi didn't know what the other three partners around him were thinking, but he himself was completely shocked, no, he was shocked, vaguely, and even a little lucky.
Fortunately, his dissatisfaction with Zhanbai was only hidden in his heart and did not show the slightest, otherwise, who would dare to say that among those who were escorted down, there was no one. If that's the case, is this considered a death before the teacher is a teacher?
In fact, it's not just Wen Buqi, Chu Xuxu's heart is not turbulent, on the other hand, the sister and brother of the building are once again unexpectedly calm, as if they are not surprised by this result at all.
"Sir, I don't know if it's appropriate for the student to deal with it like this?" Finally, it was Gongzi Jun who broke the silence first.
But it was this seemingly unusual and ordinary inquiry, but it shook Wen Buqi, who had just woken up, and Chu Xuxu again.
If it is said that Gongzi Jun has always called Zhanbai Mr. before, it is more out of the respect of Corporal Lixian. But how should we understand the self-proclaimed title of this "student"?
In the past, Gongzi Jun called himself the "lonely king" to anyone, including Zhanbai.
A lot of times, the details tend to say a lot.
Like, a little title.
It's not that Wen Buqi and Chu Xuxu think too much, but it's too abnormal.
Thinking of the fate of today's old courtiers, a more terrifying one may inevitably appear in the minds of the two.
Could it be ......
According to the laws of the court, among the official positions that can be granted by the prince, there are three civil officials, namely the young master, the young protector and the taibao.
Among them, the responsibility of the young master and the young guard is to assist the prince in governing the fiefdom. Of course, although this is nominally so, in fact this power has been held by officials appointed by the court, and it is more of a fictitious position.
As for the position of the Taibao at the head of the civil officials, for the prince, he is half a teacher and half a minister. One assists the prince in dealing with fiefdom matters, and also assumes the responsibility of teaching. This shows the high status of the teacher, but then again, a courtier is a courtier, and he cannot enjoy the supreme glory of a teacher because he has the obligation to teach the world.
Therefore, just like just now, once Gongzi Jun is punished, he will also be dealt with.
But the identity that Zhanbai revealed at this time was completely different.
The simple word "student" is the end of the mystery - Gongzi Jun has officially entered Zhanbai's disciple, which is different from the friendship between master and apprentice in the sect, after all, the responsibilities are different, but the status between each other can be equal.
Father !!
Almost at the same time, Wen Buqi and Chu Xuxu popped up these two words in their minds.
"How does Childe plan to deal with the aftermath?" Zhan Bai didn't answer the rhetorical question, after all, this kind of question is about himself, so it's better to avoid suspicion.
"I was about to ask sir." Childe Jun arched his hand.
Slick.
Zhan Bai secretly scolded himself, this is the rhythm of wanting to make himself infamy.
But one of the things that any king is most afraid of is that he has a bad reputation.
For people who don't know the inside of the outside world, it is easy to be infamous for being cold by nature, so that if you want to recruit talents in the future, I am afraid that many people will be discouraged.
But if this infamy is put under Zhanbai's name, then Gongzi Jun will at most leave a sad image of being deceived by traitors.
And there are some righteous gentlemen in the green forest rivers and lakes who are on the side of the Qing monarch in order to become famous in one fell swoop. For them, if they can defeat the traitorous ministers, everything will naturally be fine, and they can also leave a good reputation of being virtuous. Even if he fails and dies, he can leave a loyal and good story.
I have to say that Gongzi Jun made a good calculation.
On the other hand, Zhanbai's side is a little difficult to ride a tiger.
If you say yes, you will leave a bad reputation. If you don't agree, you can't say it.
said a thousand things and ten thousand, Gongzi Jun made today's decision, more to vent his anger for Zhanbai.
"A hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and in order to prevent backlash, it is best to cut the grass and eradicate the roots." Since there is no choice left, let's do all the evil things.
Don't look at the old courtiers just now, the crying and grabbing the ground in the government hall is pitiful, but Zhanbai doesn't dare to despise it at all. These people may be incompetent, but after all, they have been entrenched in the mansion of the vassal king for more than ten years, and they are respectful on the surface, but if there were no forces in secret, I am afraid that they would have been swallowed up a long time ago.
Being able to catch them all so easily today is nothing more than being caught off guard. And once they are given the slightest way to live, under the huge resentment, it is difficult to guarantee that they will do something that will end up together.
Therefore, what we need to do now is to uproot their forces as soon as possible while the news has not yet spread, so as to prevent future troubles.
"What the gentleman taught was that the students gave the order and raided their homes." Gongzi Jun did not have the slightest surprise, but breathed a heavy sigh of relief, in fact, he didn't think like this in his heart, but in his position, this kind of words can only be pretended to be the mouth of others.
Fortunately, Zhanbai agreed, otherwise, I don't know how to end it.
"Someone ...... coming"
……
A good wine banquet, at the beginning, turned into a funeral banquet, the atmosphere was extremely depressing, and it was also thrilling and exciting.
Gongzijun's order announced the destruction of dozens of families in Yingcheng.
Hundreds of princes swept across the city, swords and soldiers fell down, not to mention resistance, even if it only showed a trace of resentment, it would lead to death.
The sound of crying and screaming was endless, and such a big movement naturally alarmed the officials of the state capital, but after summarizing the news heard by the officials, these officials who were appointed by the court did not take any action in the end.
The prince dealt with the officials in his own house, no matter how cruel the methods were, they could not touch the law at all, and even if they wanted to participate in the music, they could not do anything.
Of course, it is impossible for them to pretend to be deaf to something so big that it happens. In any case, this Yingcheng is the fief of the prince, and as an official here, it is also necessary to come to the door to ask for advice.
So, a small sedan chair on the top went to the vassal king's mansion one after another to ask for an explanation.
So, Gongzi Jun was distressed.
The purge in the hall of affairs was undoubtedly successful, but it still inevitably left huge hidden dangers.
In the huge vassal palace, there was no one available for a while.
Now, there are only four poor people left under Gongzi Jun's subordinates.
Wen Chen only has Wen Buqi left, and the military general is only Chu Xuxu. As for the sisters and brothers, they are unofficial and productless, and they are still just guests.
Although these four people have different responsibilities, they have one thing in common, and that is the newcomers. When I first arrived, and I was rejected by the old courtiers in the past half a month, I couldn't get in touch with government affairs at all, so in the face of the huge vassal palace, I was completely black-eyed, and I didn't know where to start.
As for Zhanbai's strategist......
In his own words, he played the role of an adviser and would not interfere in any government affairs.
So Huh, poor Gongzi Jun had to meet those annoying court officials in person, and in just half a day, he became dizzy and shouted, and he couldn't live for his own evil.
Knowing that the night was dark and the wind was high, he sent all the officials away, rubbing his swollen and aching head, but Gongzi Jun did not stop at all, and rushed to Zhanbai's house.
"Mr. ......" As soon as he saw Zhanbai, Gongzi Jun was about to open his mouth to pour bitter water, but before he could say anything, he was stopped by Zhanbai by raising his hand.
"Take this and take a look." Zhan Bai casually handed the bamboo slips with undried handwriting on the bookcase to Gongzi Jun.
"This is ......" Gongzi Jun was curious, and after taking the bamboo slip, he looked at it carefully, and his expression immediately became serious.
"Deng****", the first three words have already clarified the content of it.
Sure enough, read it carefully, and it was all written in it, all of which Gongzi Jun said to be prepared.
In general, there are three articles, namely finance, military and aid.
The so-called wealth is naturally family property, and with enough wealth, it is possible to recruit talents and win people's hearts.
The military refers to the natural military power, the so-called wealth and no soldiers are fat pigs, especially for Gongzi Jun, military power is more important, and in reality, the six rates of the prince who only have five hundred places are obviously far from enough.
The last is aid, which is divided into internal and external, external support, which is naturally the Qin State that was planned before. As for the internal aid, it is necessary to envelop the civil and military ministers in the court, and this is what Gongzi Jun lacks the most, but fortunately, Zhanbai also gave an entry point, and it was his grandfather Zhan Caigu.
As a great Sikong, when Wu got up and died, leaving Yin's position unresolved, his status was tantamount to the head of the civil officials in the court. If it can be won over, it will undoubtedly be a great aid for Gongzi Jun.
Of course, this is only a big aspect, and below is a detailed list of dense details, all-encompassing, Rao is Gongzi Jun is also dazzling, and his heart is full of emotion but there is a sense of powerlessness.
"Sir's strategy is undoubtedly excellent, it will mean that there are too many places involved, should we think about it slowly." After a long time, Gongzi Jun put down the bamboo slips.
"I'm afraid we don't have much time left." Who knew that Zhanbai sighed, and without waiting for Gongzi Jun to ask questions, he turned his head to the shadow of the study and said, "Yiyi, you come out and talk to Gongzi." ”
