Chapter 453: Offering
When General Zhang went to ask King Gong for his guilt, he was really reprimanded, and King Gong did not blame him for his bad behavior and could not arrest the people of the Weiguo Mansion into the cell, but he severely criticized Xiang Ye in his affairs, and asked him to apologize to Xiang Ye for his guilt.
Although he did not express the intention of abandoning, the dissatisfaction in King Gong's words still made General Zhang vigilant.
It is naturally an exaggeration to say that General Zhang is still useful to King Gong, and King Gong will naturally not do too much, so that General Zhang can't raise his head, because King Gong just took General Zhang to the General's Mansion to ask for guilt.
When he arrived at the General's Mansion, under the gaze of King Gong, General Zhang stubbornly said: "The last general is guilty, and I also ask General Xiang not to remember the villain, spare the last general this time, and the last general will never do it again." ”
Although he was reluctant, he still lowered his head in the end.
Xiang Ye smiled and said meaningfully: "General Zhang's words are serious, you are just acting according to orders, how can Xiang blame you?" ”
On that day in the Weiguo Mansion, although General Zhang was ahead of everything and never approved what he said or did as a commander, he knew very well in his heart that it was all what King Gong meant.
When King Gong heard what he said, he frowned slightly, and said with a smile: "General Xiang is magnanimous, and this king admires him very much. He pretended not to understand the meaning of Xiang Ye's words.
He pretended to be deaf and dumb, and Xiang Ye didn't bother to break it, so he said: "If you want to come to the prince and General Zhang, you still have important business, so Xiang will not stay much." ”
King Gong's face became unsightly, and Xiang Ye was clearly driving people away.
Simply no longer detours. King Gong Ling Ran asked, "Does General Xiang remember what he said to this king earlier?" ”
Naturally, he was referring to the words that Xiang Ye had promised to submit to him.
"The last general naturally remembers. However, the last general also let General Zhang speak, presumably the prince already knows. Xiang Ye faced him without humility or arrogance.
King Gong suddenly felt that he couldn't get over his face, and said, "It seems that General Xiang has some misunderstanding about this king." This king did not doubt General Xiang's intentions. ”
Hearing this, Xiang Ye smiled silently.
King Gong glanced at General Zhang, and General Zhang hurriedly stepped forward and said: "General Xiang, the events of that day really have nothing to do with the prince, because the people who searched the Weiguo Mansion that day were all the last general's personal soldiers, and the last general was being valued by the prince, so he got carried away for a while. will let the general accept your grievances, everything is the last general's! ”
Xiang Ye's smile was a little lighter, but the emotions in his eyes were much more relaxed than before.
King Gong struck while the iron was hot. threatened: "It seems that General Xiang still refuses to forgive General Zhang's self-made opinions, it seems that this king can only press him to General Xiang another day to plead guilty!" ”
"It doesn't have to be this way." Xiang Ye opened his mouth to stop it, pondered for a moment, and said, "Xiang Mou understands." ”
See him figure it out. King Gong's heart was relieved. Immediately, General Zhang was a lot more pleasing to the eye.
Thinking that the thorn of the Weiguo Mansion had not been removed, King Gong pretended to be humble and asked, "I wonder what General Xiang thinks about the matter of the Weiguo Mansion?" ”
Xiang Ye didn't answer, paused and said: "The Ming people don't say secret words, the last general knows the prince's worries, but the last general doesn't even know what the prince's plan is, so what do you think?" It's just a waste of words. ”
King Gong hesitated, he knew that Xiang Ye wanted him to tell him the plan, but his suspicions about Xiang Ye had not been completely eliminated. He couldn't believe him. He needs someone who can help him solve the Weiguo Mansion. But he is also worried that if the plan leaks out, it will have an impact on the future plan. For a moment, King Gong fell into hesitation.
Xiang Ye didn't urge, drank tea leisurely, and waited for King Gong to make a decision.
In the end, the sense of superiority in controlling the situation made King Gong choose to inform Xiang Ye of his plans against the Weiguo Mansion. He was already a proud person, and thinking that now that the overall situation was in his hands, Xiang Ye couldn't escape from the palm of his hand, so he was not afraid.
After listening to King Gong's plan, Xiang Ye's reaction was very flat, as if the person designed by King Gong had nothing to do with him.
Such an attitude made King Gong a little more suspicious in his heart, with the relationship between Xiang Ye and Zhong Siye, and Zhong Siye's love for his righteous daughter, Xiang Ye should not have reacted so indifferently. And he heard that Xiang Ye also loved An Ruolan very much.
Could it be that he really faked submission?
King Gong didn't show this idea, but Xiang Ye immediately explained his thoughts as if he could read minds, and said with a smile: "I do love Ruolan as my own daughter, and it is because of this that I choose to do things for the prince." The emperor is stupid and only knows how to have fun, and the prince's ascension to the throne and the emperor is already a certainty, so why should I not afford to live with myself? Anyway, for the people, it doesn't matter who is the emperor, as long as it doesn't harm them. And the last general believes that the prince did everything possible to ascend to the throne, not for the sake of infamy. The last general only asks the prince to look at the face of the last general, and after the matter is completed, he can surround Ruolan's life. ”
His meaning is very clear, he is to save the lives of himself and the people he cares about, so he chose to submit to King Gong.
King Gong nodded thoughtfully, and the doubts in his heart dissipated little by little. Xiang Ye's knowledge of current affairs made him value this once-in-a-century talent even more. In the future, he will expand his territory, and he will really need such talents.
He immediately said: "This king can agree to your request, but the Weiguo Mansion must get rid of it as soon as possible." ”
Xiang Ye hugged his fists and thanked him, saying, "Actually, the last general doesn't think it's necessary. ”
"Why?" King Gong asked in surprise.
Xiang Ye knocked on the table and said, "With the prince's plan, Wei Guogong and General Wei Shao will definitely die in the northwest, since the men are dead, what threat do women have?" The plan to design the Weiguo Mansion to collaborate with the enemy has failed, and instead of killing them all, it is better to reward and seal them, so that the world can know how the prince values the Weiguo Mansion and cherishes talents. ”
"General Xiang means ......" King Gong's eyes lit up.
Xiang Ye continued: "Wei Guogong has guarded the Northeast for Dayong for many years, and there is no merit and hard work, besides, he has been entrenched in the Northeast for many years, and he already has his own power, and the generals in the Northeast probably only remember Wei Guogong, not Emperor Dayong, not to mention that the plan to frame him for collaborating with the enemy and selling it has not succeeded, that is, it has succeeded, and those Northeast generals who are loyal to Wei Guogong will not believe it." However, it is different if the father and son of Wei Guogong die, and the prince will posthumously crown Wei Guogong as the king with a different surname, and it will not have the slightest impact on the prince, and if the prince treats the widow of the Wei family well, presumably the generals in the northeast will also be willing to obey the prince's orders. ”
King Gong pondered his words, and his heart couldn't stop churning. Uprooting the Weiguo Mansion can indeed relieve the evil spirit in his heart, but it is also not conducive to his recovery of military power in the northeast. He was all about ascending the throne, and he had no plans to collect military power from all over the world, but Xiang Ye had thought deeply about him far-reaching, this plan can be described as killing two birds with one stone!
It's also strange that he was blinded by hatred, and only remembered that Wei Guogong was Zhao Kuang's (Emperor Wanhua)'s lackey, but he forgot Wei Guogong's influence in the Northeast, but fortunately, Xiang Ye reminded him!
King Gong's eyes were suddenly full of appreciation and trust when he looked at Xiang Ye. (To be continued......)
