Zhao's house in Zhao's Hutong, Zhao Hao's study headquarters.

"Kaiyang Gong, is this assuming that Yang Bo and Zhang Juzheng have joined forces?" Listening to the old man's words, Xu Wenbi, the Duke of Dingguo, exclaimed: "This assumption is terrible!" ”

"But it's very likely." Zhao Liben also sighed and said: "Whether it is Yang Yupo or Zhang Taiyue, they are all heroes who are unwilling to be chess pieces. Isn't it strange that they don't want to vote honestly at our orders, and want to be the one who decides the outcome of the battle between us and Caoyun? ”

The faces of the crowd changed greatly. They finally understood what Zhao Hao meant by the severe test.

"Old man, are you sure they can join forces?" Tang Fatzi wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said in his heart that he was a small businessman, why did he suddenly arrange for the court boss to come? This life encounter is really bizarre.

"Pretty much sure." Zhao Hao took over the conversation with a calm expression and said lightly: "This is a very simple arithmetic problem. Because the Shanxi people have five votes in their hands, as long as they can support us, even if there is no Zhang Xianggong, we can still win. ”

In fact, the shipping group only needs three more votes to secure the win.

"So Zhang Xianggong left, I'm afraid he already knew that the votes of Shanxi people would most likely not vote for us." Zhao Hao said with a complicated expression on his face that he was hurt by his idol: "Otherwise, it makes no sense for him to leave at all, so why do you deliberately come here to stop laughing?" ”

Depowdering, de-powdering!

"That's right." When everyone heard this, those who didn't understand suddenly realized.

Yes, if Yang Bo decides to jump back, Zhang Xianggong will not be able to send charcoal in the snow. However, Zhang Juzheng could choose to stay and send a favor to express his support for shipping.

But Zhang Juzheng didn't do this, which means that he and Yang Bo reached an agreement to advance and retreat together!

"What are they up to?" Xu Wenbi was so angry that he slapped the table and said: "Our Yicheng shares are priceless!" Those old Xi'er can't even look down on it? What are they trying to do? What is worth more than our shares?! ”

"Tall beard." Zhao Liben suddenly popped out three words, and there was silence in the study.

It's all strung together.

"Zhang Taiyue wants Gao Suqing to come back, doesn't Yang Yupo want to?" Zheng Ruozeng nodded approvingly and said, "Don't forget, it was Yang Tianguan who gave Yang Tianguan the first time, which triggered the tide of the pavilion that was full of arches. It is said that behind the crowd that later pushed Xu Ge Lao to step down, there was also the shadow of Yang Bo. ”

"Not bad." Zhao Liben nodded, and said with a smile: "Since last year, the officials have promoted high-bearded people out of the mountain several times, but they couldn't get the right election when they pushed in the court, do you say Yang Tianguan is depressed?" ”

On the matter of not letting Gao Gong go out of the mountain, Jiangnan and Jiangbei's attitude is the same, this is sixteen or seven votes, plus those voting ministers who have offended Gao Gong and are attached to the current Shoufu, it is easy for Gao Beard to continue fishing at home.

"In this way, grandson, I have already offended Yang Tianguan and Zhang Xianggong." Zhao Hao smiled bitterly and touched his nose, my son really didn't mean it, I just didn't want Gao Hu to return to his hometown so early.

"What do you think?" Zhao Liben rolled his eyes, couldn't help but light a cigarette and took two puffs, and then said: "I have disturbed people's wishful thinking so many times, and you still want people to vote for you, it's really stupid and naïve." ”

"Aren't we giving benefits?" Zhao Hao muttered in a low voice: "I thought that Lao Xi'er would choose to forgive me for the sake of that one percent of the shares." ”

"They really 'use copper plates as glasses – only money'." Zhao Liben sneered and said, "But if the interests of recovering the tall beard are greater, of course they will choose to give you a hard kick in the ass." ”

"Hey......" Zhao Gongzi scratched his head and admitted with a wry smile: "He's meowing, let Lao Yang calculate." ”

"Let Gao Xinzheng come back, is it so important to these old Xi'er?" Xu Wenbi was still a little difficult to accept: "He is the first assistant, what can he bring to them?" ”

"It can bring them so much." Zhao Hao sighed. Although there is no record in the history books about what secret agreement Gao Gong and Yang Bo had before, it clearly records how much Gao Gong helped the Jin Party in just a few years after his comeback.

Gao Gong's lifelong exploit - Longqing peace, brought long-term peace to the northwest border of the Ming Dynasty, and the people of the northwest and even the entire Ming Dynasty enjoyed the benefits, but the biggest benefit was the Jin merchants.

And the biggest contribution in the process of peace negotiations is also Shanxi officials. Under pressure, Wang Chonggu, the governor of the three sides, took in my grandson and proposed to the imperial court to take the opportunity to discuss with him. At that time, Huo Ji, the secretary of the military department, Wang Guoguang, the left servant of the ministry, and Zhang Siwei, the nephew of Wang Chonggu, who was the Hanlin attendant at the time, lobbied around in the capital and tried their best to promote me to pay tribute.

In the subsequent court discussion, all Shanxi officials also voted in favor, and they also pulled down a large number of votes in favor, miraculously obtaining a majority.

The reason why it is said to be a miracle is that the difficulty of that court meeting is much greater than that of this shipping discussion.

You must know that Tatar and Daming are feuds, and I owe the blood debt of the people of Daming, and it has brought endless humiliation to Daming. The courtiers of the Israeli country, Lao Tzu has the best stinky temper in the world, how can he choose to forgive him?

But it turned out to be really fragrant.

Among them, although Gao Zhang Erxiang, who has made great contributions to the public opinion, has not had the strength of the Shanxi Gang to run for milk, and the negotiation of peace will never be possible.

After the peace negotiation, what did the Shanxi people get?

First of all, of course, it's safe. Moreover, the important terms of the peace negotiation in Longqing were that the imperial court finally allowed the border exchange with the Mongols - and opened eleven mutual markets in one go, and there was no limit to the number of trades!

It was the Jin merchants who monopolized this trade right. Don't look at the northwest business is not as tall as the southeast sea trade, but it is better in terms of safety, stability and continuity.

Since the opening of the border in Longqing, the Jin merchants, who had only dared to smuggle secretly, could finally organize a camel and horse team to traffic cheap goods such as tea bricks, iron pots, coarse cloth, and salt in the Ming Dynasty to Tatars, Warats, and even Haixi, Jianzhou, Savage and other female tribes in exchange for precious goods such as furs, horses, ginseng, and timber.

This one out and one in the profit of a huge million, the Jin merchants have earned a huge amount of wealth, and they have also completed their dream goal - to surpass the Hui merchants and become the world's first merchant gang!

What, Hui merchants are not convinced? The Jin merchants have all made the Eight Great Imperial Merchants through foreign trade, isn't it enough to beat you scum?

~~

In addition to this major event that changed the historical status of the Jin merchants. Soon after the peace of Longqing, Gao Gong promoted Zhang Siwei to the rank of bachelor of Hanlin and the left servant of the Ministry of Officials on the grounds that Zhang Siwei was familiar with border affairs and promoted me to make peace, which cleared all the obstacles for him to enter the cabinet.

In addition, the number one cadre under Gao Gong, his protégé Han Ji is also from Puzhou, Shanxi. In short, in the years when Gao Gong was in power, Shanxi officials soared and even surpassed those of Henan...... As everyone knows, Henan officials love to hold together, and regard it as a matter of course for the township party to support each other.

It can be seen to what extent does Gao Gong have a preference for Shanxi officials? Why is that? It's definitely not because he's jealous.

Therefore, Zhao Gongzi, who has a great prophecy technique, easily figured out why Yang Bo would rather offend himself and let Gao Gong make a comeback.

After all, he can only give them some dry shares and let them enjoy the dividends, but he can't give them the power, security, and glorious road to the Eight Great Emperor Merchants...... The last sentence is crossed out.

So now if you want to do it, it's very simple. Just go to Yang Bo tomorrow and tell him that he is no longer obstructing Gao Gong's recovery.

In that case, not only the five votes of the Shanxi Gang, but even the three votes of the Huguang officials, will resolutely and selflessly vote for themselves.

Zhao Gongzi couldn't help but suddenly realize that Zhang Xianggong was reminding himself in this way that the key to the success or failure of shipping lies in Yang Bo!

'Alas, Zhang Idol's intentions are really good. And I'm very confident in my son's IQ. Aren't you afraid that my son's understanding ability is limited and I can't understand your hard work? ’

Of course, Zhao Hao chose to forgive him. After all, if you don't agree to let the high arch out of the mountain, you won't want to make the sea successful. It hurts even more to say it in person.

Well. This is because brain-dead fans will always make up for their idols, and they are different from themselves. Definitely not because of his daughter!

~~

The atmosphere in the study was a little stagnant, after all, it felt very bad to be put aside.

Everyone looked at Zhao Hao, who was smiling weirdly, and said in their hearts, "Is the prince really going to sign the alliance under the city?"

"No, I'm not going." Who knew that Zhao Hao put away his smile, his expression became a little hideous under the light, and he said with a rare outburst: "Are these old Xi'er all rotten noodles in their heads?" How dare you backstab my son? Do you still want Ben Gongzi to come to the door and beg them?! ”

Speaking of anger, the wooden stick in his hand slammed on the whiteboard behind him, and with a bang, he shook all the name tags of Shanxi and Huguang officials on the top to the ground!

"Let's go to my mother's spring and autumn dreams! Ben Gongzi can't be transported by sea, he can't open the sea, and he will definitely not be coerced! Zhao Gongzi had a red face and a thick neck, obviously out of anger.

No one present had ever seen him so angry. Lao Tang, Sun Dawu, Zhang Qianfa and others all stood up in fear. Zheng Ruo was so shocked that he coughed repeatedly.

"Childe is really young and vigorous......" Although Xu Wenbi was not afraid of him, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and persuaded him to try his best to do the most important thing, and there was no need to fight for a while. The nobles of the Ming Dynasty are really cowards, even the grandfather of the country is no exception.

"Well said, this is my grandson!" Zhao Liben applauded loudly, their ancestors and grandchildren had the same heart, and naturally understood Zhao Hao's mind better than Zheng Ruozeng.

To put it bluntly, Zhao Gongzi's current status does not allow him to bow his head!

The powerful families of Jiangnan Group and the powerful people of Xishan Company are not good at stubble. Seeing that he confessed to the people of Shanxi for the sake of the so-called overall situation, not everyone would appreciate it. On the contrary, some people will feel that he was eaten to death by Lao Xi'er, which will make the myth of Zhao Gongzi's invincibility seriously fade.

It doesn't matter if Zhao Hao takes the initiative to kneel and lick, but as a king, he can't be forced to bow his head, so the crown will slip off his head......

ps. It's still two more, and I hide my face in shame......
