Chapter 37: The Great Purge Comes

Zhanbai is not an open-minded person, since he made the decision to "think about it in the face of the wall" half a month ago, he has already saved the mind of doubling the regret of those so-called "old people" in the future. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that the plan can never catch up with the changes, and the series of revenge sketched in his mind, in Gongzijun's opinion, is not as light as a sentence.

This also confirms the fact that any conspiracy and trickery is difficult to achieve in the face of absolute strength.

At least at this moment, Zhanbai's so-called conspiracy methods are far less useful than the title of "prince".

Since Gongzijun has already helped him solve the problem, it is the right thing to repay the peach, and Zhanbai does not like to be indebted.

"The so-called personal friendship is important in private affairs, and friendship should be important. I suggest that Gongzi can gather a large caravan and smuggle into the Qin State in the name of smuggling. However, after entering the caravan, there is no need to rush to buy and sell, you can follow the allusion of buying horse bones for a thousand catties, and befriend the noble lords of the Qin State under the banner of doing business, so as to attract the attention of the royal family, until you make friends with a big man who is at least the identity of the prince. Zhanbai began to teach face-to-face, "In the early stage, we don't want any promises, just friendship, and we are not even allowed to reveal the identity of the son. In the name of opening up trade routes, he only sought the protection of nobles, and even did not hesitate to give away all the goods, and as for other words, he did not talk about it. ”

Gongzi Jun listened carefully, for fear of missing a single mistake.

"There is a first time, there is a second time, and all we have to do is to completely stabilize this hidden smuggling channel. Of course, from the second time onwards, all buying and selling must follow the rules of the business field. ”

"Dare to ask sir, why can't I tell the other party my identity the first time, and also, Mr. said before that friendship should be important, since it was given for the first time, why not give it to the second or even third time, so that it can be faster to tie up the relationship with the other party?" When Zhanbai stopped drinking, Gongzi Jun hurriedly asked what he didn't understand.

"Hehe, Childe might as well think about it, if someone befriends you with an ulterior secret, what kind of mentality will you have?" Zhan Bai asked rhetorically without answering.

Childe Jun immediately understood.

The most complicated thing in this world is undoubtedly the human heart, and any act of friendship, once it has ulterior motives, will always make people unhappy and feel taken advantage of.

And Gongzi Jun's identity is undoubtedly the ulterior secret of that caravan, once it is easily revealed, friendship will become a naked mutual use, you need to know that the Qin State can carry the Qi State for hundreds of years, in addition to powerful weapons, there are absolutely no fools among the high-level people.

As for why the goods are only given once, the same is true.

Giving it once, it can be said that it is to seek the protection of the Qin State in the business field, but it can be given one after another, and it is easy to think of ulterior motives.

"Then dare to ask sir, when will my identity be revealed?"

"Gongzi has to figure out one thing first, because of the joint blockade of the Qi State and the Mo family, the Qin State is extremely short of materials. Therefore, our smuggling business, whether it is a free gift or a normal buying and selling, is a great thing for the Qin State. Since it is a good thing, there is no reason for the Qin State to stop it, and if it takes a little longer, it will form some kind of dependence. If you add the impetus of some direct beneficiaries in the court of the Qin State, some protection strategies will even be introduced. Zhan Bai looked like he was smiling, "Then the question comes, it's okay once or twice, the people of the Qin State will only think that this caravan is coming for the purpose of chasing, and what about eight times out of ten?" The blockade of the Qin State and the Mo family is not just talking, being able to break through the blockade so many times, open up and even stabilize this blockade line, as long as you are not a fool, you can see that the forces behind the caravan are absolutely extraordinary. As I said earlier, the human heart is the most complex thing, but unfortunately, by then it will be too late for them to doubt it. ”

"It's a good boat, and at that time, when my identity is announced, it will be useless for them to reject it, and even if I don't need to give an explanation, someone in the Qin State will help me speak out. All I have to do is to spread goodwill a little, so that I can fight and gain the recognition of the entire Qin State, Mr. is really clever, haha. "When it comes to this, Gongzi Jun still doesn't understand, and he admires Zhanbai more and more.

I have to say that in playing with people's hearts, Zhanbai does have proud capital.

"Childe praised it falsely, I can only come up with ideas, and there are still a lot of problems in the real operation, and you need to do all of this." Zhan Bai was modest, but silently picked up the teacup that had already been cooled on the table.

This is already the meaning of a polite send-off.

Gongzi Jun couldn't see it, and casually glanced at the sky, and was quite surprised in his heart, and before he knew it, night had fallen.

After disturbing Zhanbai for nearly a day, it was indeed time to leave.

Thinking of this, Gongzi Jun slowly got up, and after giving Zhan Bai a salute, he said goodbye and left.

Seeing Gongzi Jun disappear into the majestic snow, Zhanbai did not have a trace of fatigue, but his spirit became more and more excited.

"Kotone, go to the study and bring the sword hanging on the wall. With such a beautiful view, if you can't dance in the snowy night for a while, it won't be a violent thing. ”

Seeing that Zhanbai was in a good mood, Qin Yin also showed a knowing smile, and hurriedly trotted towards the study.

……

After a day and a night of heavy snowfall, there was no intention of stopping, and by the next day, although the snow was much smaller, it still continued to baptize the land covered in silver.

On this day, a banquet once again summoned all the vassals in the vassal king's mansion to the government hall.

Unlike the tension at the last banquet, the feast had not yet begun, and laughter filled the entire hall.

The old courtiers of the feudal prince's mansion all gathered early, and they talked and laughed in twos and threes, and if you listened carefully, you will find that almost all of the content of the discussion was about a certain strategist.

"Hehe, the half-moon period has just passed, and in the old man's opinion, this banquet is the farewell banquet of the surname Zhan." One of the middle-aged old courtiers smiled proudly.

Pan Gong said that it was very true, and the surname Zhan really didn't know what to say. The hair on his mouth has not grown, and he dares to reprimand Duke Chu, so domineering, it is really not a good thing for Gongzi. It is best to send it away as soon as possible. Someone immediately chimed in.

"Yes, in the past half a month, Childe has repeatedly visited the person surnamed Zhan, but he has repeatedly eaten closed-door soup, let alone Childe, even if it is anyone, he must be very unhappy in his heart. Even if Childe still had the intention of retaining at the beginning, he would have lost face many times, and he must have been annoyed and angry. ”

"And yesterday, I heard that Childe finally got into the door, and he didn't leave until nightfall, and his face was quite gloomy, I'm afraid it's a complete showdown with that surnamed Zhan, haha."

"Today, let's send off the surnamed Zhan first, and then the rest of the young people." Carried away, some people are ready to expand the situation, and the spearhead is directly aimed at Wen Buqi and others who came at the same time as Zhanbai.

Although Wen Buqi and the others did not do anything disrespectful, there is no excuse for the crime they want to add, not to mention, among those few people, two of them stole the two official positions of one article and one martial arts, and I don't know how many old people secretly envy and jealousy.

If they can be driven away together, then for some low-status "old people", won't they usher in an opportunity for promotion?

At this time, for all the old courtiers, it was undoubtedly a celebration in advance, celebrating that the victory came so quickly, and the results were so rich, that they didn't even see Wen Buqi and the others who came silently, and naturally, they wouldn't see their gloomy faces on the stinky street.

"It's really a group of people who are experts in fighting insiders and fighting outsiders, and they have the ability to fight with the civil and military forces in Yingcheng. Damn, shit. Wen Buqi gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice, and at the same time, in his heart, he also hated Zhanbai.

Half a month ago, if it weren't for his arrogance, how could he have affected himself and others.

Of course, Wen Buqi is at least not stupid enough to say this.

It is a human being, and what I am most afraid of is not being weak, but being completely isolated.

Now, their group of "newcomers" are being oppressed by the "old ministers", and it is time to unite with the outside world. So there are some things to say, and some things to think about in your heart.

No matter how much Zhanbai has, it is also the same year as a few of them, at this time, if he vents his anger on Zhanbai because of a temporary setback, it will inevitably attract the dissatisfaction and even disdain of several other people.

Of course, Wen Buqi would not admit that the reason why he was dissatisfied with Zhanbai was not just because of what happened at the banquet half a month ago, but because of jealousy.

Different from those "old courtiers", all the way from Tianmo City to this Yingcheng, several of them have personally experienced Gongzijun's importance to Zhanbai.

Although he is nominally not a strategist, he has no official or character, but his status greatly exceeds the civil official position of Wen Buqi, a young master.

At the same time, Chu Xuxu, who was on the side, also looked gloomy, and he didn't know what to think about, but the sister and brother of the building were calm and deaf to the gossip from the outside world.

"Childe, here."

At this moment, a loud chant sounded, and the tumultuous office immediately fell silent, and everyone hurriedly returned to their positions, standing tall, facing the direction of the gate, bowing slightly, and making full preparations for the salute.

Smack, smack......

The sound of footsteps is far and near, and the rhythm is brisk.

"Wait, greetings to the son."

In unison, the voice is not slow, but it is full of respect, and it can be seen that this is the result of years of mastery.

It's a pity that what responded to the subordinates was a cold snort that was neither yin nor yang, and the voice was ...... How can it be so strange?

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised, and when they unconsciously looked up, their faces turned blue in an instant.

At this time, where is Gongzi Jun in the center of everyone's attention, but ...... Zhanbai.

I accepted a gift from everyone in vain, but I didn't give a good face, what is this, is it good to sell it if you get cheap?

"Hmph, your esteemed son is behind." Zhan Bai snorted with disdain, ignored the many angry gazes, and strode towards the main seat on the right.

"Damn boy, let you be arrogant for a while, and after the prince will depose your position as a counselor and drive you out of the vassal palace, I will look for you again."

Without the protection of the vassal king's mansion, Yingcheng is not so safe. It is impossible to say that someone dies at night, and it will not attract the attention of many people.

Many old courtiers secretly kept this account in their hearts.

"Wait, greetings to the son."

At this moment, the voices of Wen Buqi and several people suddenly sounded again, and after following the reputation, they found that Gongzi Jun was finally late.

It's a pity that such an opportunity to slap the horse, because of a momentary distraction, let the old courtiers let it go in vain, thinking of this, the hatred for Zhanbai is even more.

"You don't need to be polite, just sit down." Gongzi Jun looked full of concern, waved his hand casually, and walked to his position, without looking at anyone intently from beginning to end.

And in the eyes of outsiders, this appearance is full of different thoughts.

I don't know when it began, figuring out the intention seems to have become a necessary skill for the courtiers, and the more you get into the officialdom, the more serious this habit becomes, and in the end it has become a subconscious conditioned reflex.

Not to mention, what everyone thinks, just say that after Gongzi Jun sat down, he picked up the wine bottle on the table, looked around, and took the lead in saying, "First of all, thank you for coming to the banquet and introducing this cup first." ”

"Drink to win!"

"Drink to win!"

……

Without waiting for everyone to suppress the spicy taste of the wine in their mouths, Gongzijun's voice sounded again, but this time, the tone seemed to be meaningful.

"Since he was born, the lonely king has had a lot of fate, he does not like the royal family, and even for a long time, he has lived a life of exile, and his center is sour and cannot be used by outsiders." Gongzi Jun first briefly recalled the past, and then his voice changed, "Fortunately, thanks to God's refusal to give up, forty years ago, he was finally remembered by his father, officially divided into the son, and gave the fief Yingcheng, and opened the mansion to build a government, but it is also considered whether Jitai came." ”

"Congratulations to the son!" Chu Chunqiu, as the head of the civil officials of the palace, was the first to express his position, and offered sycophants, and there were countless followers.

It's a pity that these old courtiers didn't see it, and after hearing their congratulations, Gongzi Jun didn't have a trace of joy, and there was even a trace of disgust between his eyebrows.

I have to sigh at how quickly people's hearts change.

If it was placed before yesterday, Gongzi Jun may not be happy with the flattery of the people below, but at least he can deal with it calmly. But now, the change in mentality has made him more and more disgusted.

I ask myself to endure so many years of injustice, and I still work tirelessly, what I am asking for is not to be satisfied with the status quo, but to be able to double the injustice attached to me in the past to those people, and in order to achieve this goal, we must be determined to pursue the supreme position of the Ninth Five.

But can the current group of "old courtiers" help him realize his ambitions?

Just begging them not to delay their feet is already Amitabha, and obviously, even such a trivial wish has been disappointed so far.

It doesn't matter if you don't do anything, but you are so narrow-minded, jealous and jealous, you almost let yourself miss a talent like Mr., and killing him is not enough to vent his anger.

"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 corners of Gongzijun's mouth suddenly bloomed with a sly smile.
