Shen Manjun was completely stunned. Even Lin Xiaozhu, who knew a little bit about it, was surprised and said, "Brother-in-law, are you crazy?" ”

If Lin Xiaozhu just asked Xiao Zheng in a joking tone, Shen Manjun was thinking about Xiao Zheng's words with a very serious attitude. But no matter what she thought, she couldn't understand Xiao Zheng's intentions.

Give all the power to Li Mubai? Wouldn't that be to give the Zhao family to Li Mubai? And once Li Mubai takes power, even if Shen Manjun doesn't want to retreat into the background, Li Mubai may not be able to tolerate her.

"Why?" Shen Manjun slowly raised his head and stared directly at Xiao Zheng.

"Because you can't move an inch now." Xiao Zheng said calmly. "Outside, there are strong enemies like Chen Chong and Ye Shiguan. And inside, there is Li Mubai peeping. You don't even have a good helper. Once you force it, you will not only be suppressed by Li Mubai and Chen Chong. Even Ye Shiguan may swallow you in one bite. Do you think you have what it takes to fend off the machinations of these old foxes? ”

After a pause, Xiao Zheng continued to analyze: "Take 10,000 steps back, even if you finally defeat Chen Chong, you will also pry up Li Mubai, an internal enemy." What will the Zhao family be like then? Do you still have the strength to resist Ye Shiguan? And at that time, even if it is that group of loyal Zhao family elders, will they accompany you and Ye Shiguan to die in vain? ”

"Loyalty, because there are not enough chips for betrayal. Once loyalty, it will only bring disaster, and betrayal can get unexpected rewards. How many people will be stupidly loyal to the Zhao family? Xiao Zheng said in his heart. Coming out to mix is to seek wealth, not death. You know this better than I do. "Kneel and beg for a hundred black * rock * cabinets

Shen Manjun listened to Xiao Zheng's explanation, and frowned slightly: "Even so, it's a big deal for me to stabilize Chen Chong and Li Mubai and preserve my strength." When my father woke up, I told him everything. ”

"Do you think Chen Chong or Li Mubai will have the patience to wait until your father wakes up?" Xiao Zheng said word by word. "You promise, they can spare your life for the time being. If you don't agree, they will definitely knock you down as fast as they can. Let the Zhao family change their banners. ”

Shen Manjun's face was slightly gloomy and said, "Even if you lose both, what's the matter?" ”

"Do you want the fourth master's life's hard work to be ruined?" Xiao Zheng shook his head and said. "Even if you don't do anything, at least you should stabilize the situation for the fourth master, right?"

"Your so-called stability means that you want me to give everything to Li Mubai?" Shen Manjun said distressedly.

"Yes, brother-in-law. How could you have such a stupid idea? Lin Xiaozhu swore an oath. Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated, even if we fight to the death of a soldier, we will never bow to the evil forces! ”

"When did I say that I would give it to Li Mubai? When did I say bow to Li Mubai? Xiao Zheng smiled mysteriously and narrowed his eyes.

"What do you mean—" Shen Manjun hesitated.

"Brother-in-law, don't sell it, hurry up. I'm impatient! Lin Xiaozhu said anxiously Xiao just lit a cigarette in a hurry, and then took another sip of red wine, and then said slowly: "First of all, hard work will only end up losing both, and once the war starts, we will definitely fall at a disadvantage, and we will suffer from the enemy." This is not a wise move. After a pause, Xiao Zheng continued. So we might as well take advantage of Li Mubai's ambitions. Didn't he want the power of the Zhao family? Give it to him. I believe that once he takes power, no matter whether he can defeat Chen Chong in the end, he will not be able to take the initiative to return power to you. But it doesn't matter, what matters is - he will fight with Chen Chong. It's not for you, and it's not for the Zhao family. but for himself. ”

Shen Manjun was puzzled: "Why are you so sure?" ”

"If you are Chen Chong, can you tolerate Li Mubai taking charge of the Zhao family?" Xiao Zheng asked rhetorically.

"What do you mean—" Shen Manjun's eyes lit up suddenly. "Once Li Mubai takes power, Chen Chong will definitely seize power?"

"Of course." Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "Now the situation of the Zhao family is disordered. Whoever is in power will inevitably be attacked from many sides. And Li Mubai is in power, Chen Chong must be unwilling. At that time, he may say that Li Mubai rebelled and seized your power. Or maybe you were forced to hand over the Zhao family to Li Mubai because of the threat. Or, splashing dirty water and saying that Li Mubai rebelled. attacked Li Mubai in the name of Qingjun's side. And there is only one purpose, to recapture the Zhao family. At that time, do you think Li Mubai still needs anyone's encouragement? ”

"At that time, Chen Chong and Li Mubai were destined to live only one, or both jade and stone." Xiao Zheng said calmly but indifferently.

"Treacherous!" Lin Xiaozhu suddenly realized that he sincerely admired Xiao Zheng. "Brother-in-law, look at how stupid you look, I didn't expect so much bad water in your stomach, it's really unseemly, and the sea water can't be measured."

Shen Manjun also nodded slightly, and hesitated: "Then do you think, who will win, Chen Chong or Li Mubai?" ”

"It's better to all die clean." Xiao Zheng cut the railway.

"But I think Li Mubai has a bigger chance of winning." Shen Manjun said slowly. "Chen Chong is brave and unscrupulous, but Li Mubai is a good driver. With him in charge of the Zhao family, Chen Chong is definitely not his opponent. ”

"Are you worried that Chen Chong's family will be dominant at that time, and no one will be able to shake his foundation?" Xiao Zheng asked.

Shen Manjun nodded: "I don't want my father to wake up and find out that the Zhao family has changed their surname to Li." ”

"Then who do you think Mingzhu wants you to fall the most?" Xiao Zheng continued to ask.

"I don't need to ask!" Lin Xiaozhu came to the spirit, and he was full of words. "Of course it's Ye Shiguan!"

"Even my sister-in-law knows, and you should know it very well." Xiao Zheng smiled. "Do you think that when Li Mubai and Chen Chong were fighting, Ye Shiguan would do nothing? Even if Li Mubai was lucky to win, would he be able to withstand Ye Shiguan's fierce attack? ”

Shen Manjun frowned and said, "According to what you said, since Li Mubai can't withstand Ye Shiguan's fierce attack. Then isn't our Zhao family down? ”

Xiao Zheng smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "I just want you to correct Li Mubai's name." Give him the aura of a righteous teacher. Who told you to squander all your possessions on him? Even if it is given, it is only a symbolic dispatch of a few veterans. I don't want you to give him all your father's henchmen. Of course, even if you have such a plan, those henchmen who only obey Zhao Siye's orders may not obey Li Mubai's dispatch. ”

"Just give him a name?" Shen Manjun said incredulously. "If that's all there is to it, Li Mubaiken and Chen Chong go to war?"

"Of course." Xiao Zheng said as a matter of course. "Chen Chong is the only obstacle to his seizure of the Zhao family. At least that's what he had in mind. Once Chen Chong is dead, who can stop him? You're an inexperienced? Don't say Li Mubai, even the group of henchmen who are loyal to your father may not be dead set on you. At that time, only Li Mubai's family was left in the Zhao family. Even those elders of the Zhao family may find a more promising backer. And this backer can only be Li Mubai. At that time, whether Li Mubai coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes to command the Zhao family, or directly forced the palace to seize the commander and force you to abdicate. It depends on whether he cares about his appearance. ”
