Chapter Eighty-Nine: Mixed Feelings 4
Zuo Chen is happy to share happiness and distress with people who are really close to him. While sharing, it is important to be able to trust and understand each other more.
"That Zhou Shangshu and Hou Shangshu, aren't they suspected of stepping on two boats?" Wu Jiang blurted out.
Zhang Kang didn't understand for a while, stared at himself in vain, looked at Wu Jiang blankly and then at Zuo Chen, and said in his heart, is there still a hint of ill-intentionedness? I can't help but be full of curiosity again.
"What Uncle Wu said is not unreasonable! The status of the prince can be described as respectable, and as far as the status of the royal family is concerned, there is no need to co-opt forces for his own use, but the fact is that he does operate in this way, and the fact that he has followers means that he has given them the necessary signs. Now it is not quite accurate to say that stepping on two boats is ......, and Zhou and Hou should be the most realistic idea to take precautions. ”
"Da Antai is now the country and the people are safe, and there is no war and the foreign region takes the initiative to show goodwill every year, so the prince has this intention in such a situation, it is estimated that ...... was discovered by the emperor, but he couldn't get any benefits. Wu Jiang shook his head and said.
Everyone has a different position, and there is no doubt that if there is a different position, there will be a different angle from which to look at and think about the problem, and the starting point for dealing with the problem will be different.
"Maybe the prince thinks about the problem differently than you and me, or is it ...... He also felt that he was threatened, and he was forced to protect himself, which is also unknown, after all, we do not know about the government and the current situation. There is another possibility, that is, a hint from the royal family, to develop power to get the emperor's approval, if no special circumstances occur, the emperor will eventually choose a prince with outstanding ability and many supporters to succeed to the throne. ”
"I heard that there are four adult princes, which one is this?" Zhang Kang asked.
"Yes......, I'm too embarrassed to ask." Zuo Chen found that he had missed a more critical question, knowing which prince this prince was, and he could more intuitively judge the scale of his forces and camp through the inextricable relationships.
Zhang Kang grinned, glad that he was more thoughtful than his son. You haven't noticed such a simple and important thing, it seems that the two of you are not much smarter than me, Zhang Kang thought secretly.
"Who the prince is will naturally know in the future, and the key issue now is the emperor's attitude." Wu Jiang glanced at Zhang Kang, frowned and looked at Zuo Chen and said, "Now, it is known that the emperor has a good eye for Gongzi, and he is willing to let you be wooed by anyone at will?" If that camp is regarded as a thorn in the side of the emperor, then ...... But that's not good, isn't it? ”
The feeling of being involuntary hit his heart, and Zuo Chen was very helpless. He has always been disgusted to be involved in the political storm, and it is not his wish to be knighted by the emperor, and he does not dare to shirk it by force, annoying the emperor and not knowing whether it is unfavorable to his family, which is the most feared thing for Zuo Chen, if he is angry and makes Long Wei angry, who knows what will happen!
"Long-term prevarication or joining the camp is not the best way to solve the problem......," Zuo Chen said, looked outside the house and muttered for a while, and said: "I don't understand the emperor's intentions, which is the root of my current struggle, I hope that Uncle Cai can bring back the old man's advice." ”
"The old man is naturally loyal to the emperor!" Zhang Kang said.
The old ideas are not useless, the key depends on how to use them reasonably, loyalty to betrayal is the most controversial topic in ancient times, and the self-righteousness of stepping on two boats is not completely unreasonable, just like Zhou and Hou, obviously they want to get the support of the prince to ensure that they stand on the court for a longer time.
How to choose in the end, the old man's advice will play a key role, with the old man's importance to the home, there must be a more rational and solemn opinion.
"I hope the old man's decision won't upset me very much!"
Zuo Chen said, feeling his temples jump suddenly. Although he was very disgusted with the old man's old and conservative ideas, and refused to give in to his confinement and escaped, but in the current general environment, this is the case, and he has to compromise. Change needs to be gradual, and that's the only reason Zuo Chen found to convince himself!
"I also feel that the old man is loyal to the emperor, a family of three generals, and it is inevitable to support the emperor! What's more, the old man and the general are both good at the same level as the prince, and this is even more inmissible, who dares to guarantee that the three generals will be reused when others are in power? Wu Jiang said without doubt.
"Uncle Wu, what you said is a superficial problem, and the premise is that the political situation in Da'antai is stable." Zuo Chen shook his head, not agreeing with Wu Jiang's words.
"What? Will this still be a problem? Wu Jiang looked at Zuo Chen in surprise, and said in his heart, could it be that there is already conclusive evidence that the current situation is going to be turbulent.
"Childe is always covered with clouds and mountains and fog, which makes people scratch their heads!" Zhang Kang had already been dizzy, and when Zuo Chen said this, he couldn't keep up with his thoughts, and his head turned into a mess again.
Of course, Zuo Chen didn't want all these assumptions to be true, but through various signs, it was inevitable that the mountain rain was coming. The prince's imminent move and the prince's actions may be a precautionary measure, and it is indeed difficult to feel at ease in Zuo Chen's eyes.
"For example, the prince also wants to sit on the dragon chair, what should I do?" Zuo Chen looked at Zhang Kang and Wu Jiang with a smile, and the words had already been said about this, so that they could understand the situation in advance so as not to be at a loss in the future.
"That's ......, won't it?" Wu Jiang couldn't help frowning, looked at Zuo Chen hesitantly, and secretly thought, will the situation develop to an unmanageable ending?
Zuo Chen naturally knew that the emperor's normal abdication would not be too much of a problem, it was just a change of the son of heaven and a courtier, if there was really a disaster, which time would not be the price of the corpse mountain and the sea of blood, so as to achieve the throne!
"No one can be sure of the unknown, but ......, it is unlikely that we will remain unharmed and implicated in the political storm. Even if you keep a clear head, you don't necessarily have to be able to avoid it, and once something goes wrong, it will be doomed! Worried about the morning, I couldn't help but sigh.
Wu Jiang, who had a solemn face, finally realized the grim situation in the future at this moment, it was not a matter of being close to anyone who could avoid its harm, and there would be an injury when the two tigers competed, which was an eternal truth!
"Is it really that serious? If we and the new magnates are on the same front and one camp, wouldn't we be immune from them? Zhang Kang blinked his eyes and thought to himself, success and failure are not five-five probabilities?
Zhang Kang imagines that the problem is still simple, and it is not wrong to imagine anything too beautiful, after the wolf smoke is everywhere, the people's hearts are ready to move, but they don't care about the kindness of human nature and retreat and don't add fuel to the fire.
"Uncle Zhang, how do you know who will succeed to the throne, and how can you determine who will be friend or foe?"
"Even if there is no trade-off, it is a five-five chance!" Zhang Kang knew that he had no way to answer, and still refused to give in.
"If the four princes, plus the prince, how much chance is left of what you are talking about?"
Zhang Kang was speechless when his face turned red, and looked at Wu Jiang as if asking for help, seeing that he was also shaking his head, he couldn't help but be very annoyed, "This is all conjecture, if what you said doesn't exist, wouldn't there be no troubles?" It's really not good, who can do anything about it by standing by and watching! ”
"Here's an example that's relatively simple and acceptable to you. Let's talk about the grudge between the Liu and Li families, can you say that the confrontation between the Liu family and his Li family is wrong? ”
"That's not wrong!" Zhang Kang's head shook like a merchant's drum and nodded affirmatively.
"Is it wrong for Li Ziqin to avenge his son Li Shuang, who lost his life? If it were you, would you just swallow your anger and just give up? Zuo Chen continued.
"That's because he won't admit his mistake!"
"The fact is that he refuses to give up, and he has to deepen his grudge, what can you do?" Zuo Chen saw that Zhang Kang didn't answer, and said: "The reason is the same, any inevitable incident will cause disaster to family members and descendants, as well as nepotism like Sun Yongquan, the emperor is ready to marry Li Ziqin's nephew to me, is it not to avoid further spread?" Obviously, if there is no such grudge, it may not be Princess Ruxuan, not to mention Princess Ruxuan's wishes, now I am anxious about this! ”
"So, some things are not voluntary, and they will still be troubled to find you! Even if you don't want to participate in the political storm now, you will inevitably be dragged down by nepotism! Wu Jiang realized something, and said slowly: "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, there are rivers and lakes, there are grievances, and there are grievances, and there are grievances!" When there is a fight, the innocent will be hurt! ”
Zhang Kang, who had a solemn face, was unwilling to agree with the inference, but he had to recognize this famous saying in the rivers and lakes since he was a child!
