"Don't hide it from the prince, the old man did guess it."

"But you still object, although four million taels is a lot, it is by no means an unbearable amount for Mo Lao...... Why? ”

"Because after weighing it, the old man found that the Mo family really wants to glorify the ancestors, and only the prince can achieve great things, not a household book of the Yixing Dynasty can achieve it, so any force that may become the enemy of the prince will be opposed by the old man, and anything that may become an obstacle on the way of the prince's progress will be opposed by the old man."

Wu Zheng was noncommittal, just looked at Mo Obsession, and his fingers flicked lightly on his legs.

Mo obsessed: "It is best for the Yixing Dynasty to maintain the status quo, only if it is weak, it will rely on the prince, and the prince can exert influence on it." Otherwise, once it grows, it will abandon the prince as a disadvantage, or even an enemy. The prince can send charcoal in the snow when it is in danger, but he can't teach people to fish! ”

Wu Zheng's gloomy face suddenly relaxed, and he waved his hand and said, "Let me think about it, think about it again...... Think about it. Mo Lao, step back first. ”

"The old man is retired."

……。

"Come out." Wu Zheng said leisurely.

Ma Shiying appeared in response.

"Old Ma, do you think it is appropriate for the position of the head of the household to be taken over by Quanlai?"

Ma Shiying said: "Although my subordinates do covet this position, in all fairness...... Don't be obsessed with being more suitable than your subordinates. ”

Wu Zheng was surprised, "Yo...... Old horse, this sun is coming out in the west? When did you become a gentleman? ”

Ma Shiying sneered: "Why should the prince make fun of Ma, Ma still has self-knowledge." ”

"What do you mean, Mo Lao's words are reasonable?"

"Yes."

Wu Zhengzheng said: "But this king did set up a rule for Mo Zhinian not to enter the office. ”

"Any rule should change according to the times. This is what the prince often said. Ma Shiying said, "Before the prince, what he was worried about was that Mo Zhizhi was too powerful, so that the tail could not be lost, but after all these years, the prince trusted Mo Zhizhi, and Mo Zhizhi spared no effort to the prince...... If this alone leads to suspicion, I'm afraid it's not worth it. ”

"You mean, don't use suspicious people, don't use suspicious people?" Wu Zheng asked with a smile.

"Nope." Ma Shiying categorically denied it, "Don't use suspicious people, don't suspect people, it's to coax people to play, with the wisdom of the prince, naturally understand." This should be said in reverse, suspects can be used, and employers must be suspicious. Ma has been up and down in the sea for decades, and he doesn't dare to boast of anything else, but he still has some experience in people's hearts. ”

"Oh? …… Let's hear it. ”

"The prince was born in a small family...... The prince forgave Ma for his courage. ”

"That's right, that's just the way it is."

"Good. The prince was born in the last place, and most of his cronies and confidants are also from the same background, or even inferior. Although the prince is now a prince, his foundation is shallow, like duckweed...... Ma was terrified. ”

"It's all said, just say it, I don't blame you."

"Thank you. If the war goes smoothly, then everyone will naturally be happy, but whenever there is a major defeat, internal opposition will inevitably rise. Ma means that people like Mo are obsessed with it, and they must use it and prevent it. ”

"I don't understand." Wu Zheng frowned slightly, "What you said is shallow, like duckweed, I don't object to it, but what does this have to do with Mo Obsession?" ”

"Nature has a relationship, there is a big relationship." Ma Shiying hurriedly said, "In just four or five years, the prince has surprised everyone and risen rapidly, and Mo is obsessed. ”

"I know."

"But what does it mean to be obsessed?"

Wu Zheng frowned and said: "If you talk around the bush again, this king will let you go back to Hangzhou." ”

Ma Shiying hurriedly said: "It's not that Ma is making a mistake, the achievements of the prince over the years seem to be infinite, but the inside is nothing more than the support of some scholars, such as the Qian family, although the prince is alienated from the wealthy and scholars, but the prince has established the Qian family as the princess, giving the Jiangnan scholars, especially the scholars in the south of Shaoxing Mansion, a hope." In the eyes of Jiangnan businessmen, as long as the prince wins the world, then, with Hangzhou and other prefectures as a precedent, the status of businessmen will be rapidly raised. If at this time, once the prince and Mo obsession reveal their suspicions, that person's heart will be scattered, and the consequences will be difficult to predict. ”

Wu Zheng suddenly laughed, "Old Ma, are you too worried?" Businessmen pursue profits, as long as there is money to be made, even if the king no longer uses the Mo family, I am afraid that he will rush to it. ”

Ma Shiying hesitated for a moment and said, "Does the prince know that in the past four years, how many wealthy families and scholars have the Mo family allied with, and how many scholars have married?" The Mo family has three concubines and seven concubines, and the people who have married over the years are all wealthy families and giants. ”

"You're saying that don't be obsessed with being credible?" Wu Zheng's face turned cold, "What you said today, if you are heard by Mo Zhinian, Ma Shiying, what do you think will be the consequences?" ”

Ma Shiying was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "Ma will go to the street and pick a good coffin for himself." ”

Wu Zheng's eyes flashed, "Ma Shiying, this king understands that you are deliberately provoking the relationship between me and Mo Lao...... Tsk, just for the lack of a household book, the means are all at their disposal! Ma Shiying, you are so daring! ”

Ma Shiying was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "My subordinates will never dare." Please let the prince finish speaking. ”

"Speak."

"Ma still has this self-knowledge, and he is the secretary of the household department. But the purpose of Ma's remarks this time is definitely not to compete with him, the prince, the suspicious people who have just arrived are available, and the employment of people must be suspicious. Unless it is a sage, no one will go to a height, will take the initiative to stop climbing, and seek his own government in his position, when the prince was a sentry before, did he ever think that he could be a prince? ”

Wu Zheng was furious, "Ma Yaocao, are you accusing this king of deliberately competing for the throne?" ”

"No, no." Ma Shiying was a little clumsy, he pondered, "What Ma means is that the so-called human nature is inherently good, which is the nonsense of foolish people. Human nature is inherently evil, and as we grow up, we should restrain our character with morality and regulate our words and deeds with law, so that we can abide by the law. Trust a person in moderation, otherwise you will not believe in him, but harm him...... Look at the king's wisdom. ”

Wu Zheng was silent for a while, and then said leisurely: "Ma Shiying, if one day, this king also adopts it because of others' suggestions, will you be comfortable with you?" ”

Ma Shiying raised his head and said firmly: "As a minister, you should guard the way of the minister, and do the way of the minister?" Be strict with yourself, keep the bottom line, and don't go beyond the thunder pool. Ma is confident that he can think clearly, and he can naturally be comfortable. ”

Wu Zheng pointed his finger at Ma Shiying and said, "Old Ma, you really impress me!" ”

"The prince praises falsely."

Wu Zheng was stunned, and said with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth: "You really think I'm praising you." ”

"Ma Mou's heart is for the prince, the prince thunders and rains, and his subordinates think it is true."
