seems to be saying the ambition that has been hidden in his heart for many years, Chen Kai can be described as full of pride. It's just that this ambition was heard in Tong Guoqi's ears, but it was like lightning that exploded in the dark night, and everything suddenly became clear.

Alone, he walked from Datong to Guangdong to join the army, and every time he tried his best, even risking his own risks, and fought with the enemy in person. There is a way that if you don't take small profits, you must have a big picture. What is a greater plot in this world than to seize the world and become the lord of the world!

Reckless ambition, a proper noun used for careerists who seek to usurp the throne, suddenly appeared in Tong Guoqi's mind, and it occupied all the space in an instant. Chen Kai said it so calmly, which made him feel more frightened in his heart in addition to shock. Moreover, this fear had grown exponentially in his mind from the moment it appeared, and the shock had rapidly taken over his entire brain as time waned, making it impossible for him to think further.

At this moment, Chen Kai's aura was even more like a dementor, making him unable to move. It took him almost all his strength to barely hold back the trembling of his body. However, soon, the feeling of detachment came, and he seemed to be uncontrollably looking for a support point. When he came to his senses, he was already sitting in the seat that Chen Kai pointed to when he entered the door.

As time passed, Tong Guoqi's brain gradually recovered. At first glance, the intention of plotting to usurp the throne is indeed sensational, but in fact there is no risk at all.

First of all, this is still a troubled time, starting from Jiashen, there are many people who call emperors and superintendents, and even the Manchu Qing Dynasty has a fake emperor like Dolgon. Secondly, the object of the complaint is him, and he is the feudal official of the Qing court, even if he says it, who will believe it. Even if the wall has ears, since Chen Kai dares to say it, he must be prepared, even if there are people around here, it will only be his cronies. These people and their families are still following Chen Kai to start work, so they naturally hope to rise to the top. Even if you are greedy for profit, or if you are foolish and loyal to the Ming Dynasty, you must find a place to complain. Besides, betraying the benefactor as a cronie, even if it is done, it will not be trusted. After all, if you can betray once, you can betray a second, third, or even countless times. This is more than worth the loss, a shrewd person will not make a choice, and he believes that with Chen Kai's shrewdness, it is impossible for people who are loyal to the Ming court to participate in the major affairs of the dynasty.

Chen Kai said that he had no fear, but it took a long time for Tong Guoqi to recover. However, the hateful creature in front of him had no intention of making him feel better, and his mouth startled him again.

"Actually, speaking of which, Tong Fujun has an innate advantage over this official. Don't say that your Tong family has an intertwined power in the court, just say that your cousin has already had a son for the slave chieftain Fulin, it seems that his name is Xuanye. Your identity as an uncle in this country is incomparable to this official. ”

Since ancient times, it has been common for relatives to usurp the throne. Chen Kai used this to connect them as like-minded people, and directly caused Tong Guoqi's brain, which had long been controlled by the brutality of the Aixin Jueluo family, to crash again. Fortunately, with the last panic, the time for him to recover has been shortened a lot.

"Your Excellency is ambitious, but don't think I'm just like you. Again, I am only loyal to the emperor and the Qing Dynasty, and it is useless to say more! ”

Chen Kai's words, Tong Guoqi didn't dare to listen to it anymore. Until this moment, he was finally completely convinced. After all, he still knows the word "Bird's Ambition". is also a feudal official, Chen Kai imagined things in his mind that he didn't even dare to think about, and the most important thing is that Chen Kai is not a fantasy, but really working hard for it. To put it bluntly, the difference between the two is not just a grade.

Subconsciously wanted to escape, as soon as Tong Guoqi finished speaking, he quickly stood up and walked out of the door. But before he could turn around, Chen Kai's next sentence directly made him freeze on the spot.

"Loyal minister, hehe, how much is it worth? With all due respect, no one will know about any sacrifice you make here, even if it saves the captive court. In the eyes of your masters, you are still the general of the defeated army. Don't forget, it was you and Yang Minggao who lost Xincheng County and Yiguan Passes, and let me release Wang Xiuqi and open up a new front. Next, at any point I affect the situation of the war, you are all to blame. Oh, by the way, Yang Minggao is dead, and there are nearly 10,000 people to testify against him, what a smart person, haha. ”

Yang Minggao was martyred in battle, and even if the Qing court was unreasonable, some things still had to be perfunctory. He was different, he abandoned the city and fled, and was captured by the Ming army on the way to escape. When he was captured, there were only a group of personal soldiers, family members and house slaves around him, but when he abandoned the city, the defenders should have known about it, and even if he had a hundred mouths in the Qing court in the future, he couldn't tell clearly.

It is undeniable that Chen Kai is right, in the eyes of his master, even if he dies here and is not dishonored, he is just a defeated general. Even more vicious assumptions, as long as Chen Kai secretly killed him and did not publicize it to the public, then the Qing court would probably set him up to defect to the enemy, or abandon the city and disappear. After all, the black cauldron always has to be carried by someone, and he is the best object when he is missing. Only in this way can those who are alive be better able to avoid blame.

He has never been a fool, he clearly knows that Chen Kai's words are like the temptation of the devil at this moment, but once he thinks of his fate, once he thinks of those guys who will inevitably buckle basins on his head in order to get rid of his crimes, he will inevitably have a word unwilling in his heart. Gradually, he regained his ability to move and slowly sat back in his chair. After a long time, when he raised his head again, he no longer spoke so violently.

Chen Zhijun said with a smile, our dynasty has always been based on the Eight Banners, and the influence of relatives is minimal. Besides, the emperor is at the peak of his youth, and it is not a problem for Yuyu to be in the prime of his life for decades. At that time, even if there is something unbearable to say, the prince will already be an adult. There is no young lord in the court, how can he come to his relatives to interfere in politics. Holding on to the wording, Tong Guoqi euphemistically refuted Chen Kai's statement: "Besides, it is still unknown who will ascend the throne in the future." The emperor doesn't just have a prince. ”

Tong Guoqi answered himself politely and politely, however, in exchange for Chen Kai's sneering again: "I heard that the most favored by the slave chief Fulin is indeed not your cousin, but a woman surnamed Dong E." It is said that when a baby boy was born last year, he was immediately canonized as Prince Heshuorong, and he was also called the first son, and he had the posture of becoming a prince. As a result, at the beginning of this year, the child died, and even his mother couldn't afford to get sick. Is there such a thing? ”

This matter is said to be a matter in the Qing court. The birth of the prince, the canonization and the untimely death of the prince still have holy decrees to check. However, a concubine can't afford to be sick, even if it is Tong Guoqi, it took a long time to hear a relative in Jiangxi mention it, and he still mentioned it very carefully, how did Chen Kai know so clearly?

Of course, Tong Guoqi can't know the great contribution of the braided drama to Chen Kai's knowledge expansion in later generations, but Chen Kai is well-informed, and even well-informed to the point that he is likely to be buried in Beijing, or even in the court. Seeing this, another shock was inevitable. So, by grabbing the teacup, slowly taking a sip of tea, and comforting himself with "After all, he is Chen Kai", he breathed a sigh of relief again.

"Chen Zhijun is well-informed, and this is indeed the case."

"Yes, that's right." Hearing the affirmative answer, Chen Kai couldn't help laughing: "This official also heard that the Nu chief Fulin loves the Dong E clan very much, and it has far exceeded the boundary between the monarch and the concubine, and is more like a child's love." Now that Dong E's family is sick, if there is a good one, the slave chief Fu Lin is afraid that it will not be much better. When the time comes, if you get smallpox or something......"

"Chen Zhijun, please be careful!"

Today's Chen Kai can be said to be speechless and endless, seeing that he is about to be scared again, Tong Guoqi hurriedly interrupted Chen Kai's words. In fact, even if he took something, for the same reason, he was not afraid of Chen Kai saying it. However, not to mention that the word loyalty is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, just saying this, he can't take it at all.

"Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with you, it's just a hypothesis from the official, so there's no need to be afraid." It seems that the generous Chen Kai is very satisfied with Tong Guoqi's performance, but he still has to finish speaking: "To make it clear, this official just values the identity of Tong Fujun's relatives, so he wants to cooperate with Tong Fujun." As a matter of sincerity, the official could release Tong Fujun and let Tong Fujun rescue no less than 2,000 prisoners. In addition, you can also give your honor a military exploit, so that you have the opportunity to make a comeback. And in return, I need your cooperation in the future to cooperate with me to gain greater authority in Daming. This is called a win-win situation. ”

Seeing this, Chen Kai's expression at this moment made Tong Guoqi not feel the slightest surprise. Since ancient times, the right thing can make people go crazy, even if it is to sell their souls.

During this time, Chen Kai's hunger for power made Tong Guoqi secretly frightened, but also suddenly had a little resonance. Yes, Chen Kai needed to have an inner ghost in the Manchu Qing who held real power to add to his tower of power, and the nourishment for this inner ghost could also be those of his political enemies in the court. This is indeed something that is beneficial to both parties, and Chen Kai's win-win word summed up just right.

What's more, even if he didn't fulfill his follow-up promises, he would have escaped and had a military exploit in hand. As for what Chen Kai said, the Qing court would not believe it, and it would be beneficial to him and harmless. Unless......

"Of course, it's still the same sentence, as long as there is a tacit understanding between you and me, it is enough to agree on a code. As for what handles, they must not exist. ”

The best question was answered, and Tong Guoqi finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, Chen Kai is famous after all, and it is indeed difficult to say what such cunning people have set up in this. In this regard, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought, thinking about what flaws he hadn't noticed just now.

After all, it is a big event, and Chen Kai also showed a steady understanding of Tong Guoqi. However, he had something else to do, but when he got to the point where he had thought it through in the study, he strode to the door of the study after listening to his reply.

"By the way, Tong Fujun, believe me, the slave chief is not a few years old. When the time comes, the official will be sure to let the Manchu Dynasty relatives and nobles embrace your little nephew as the emperor. And when that time comes, the official believes that Tong Fujun will definitely repay the favor. ”

Laughing and pushing open the door, Chen Kai strode out, leaving Tong Guoqi to look at the door that gradually closed, still in deep consternation. It's just that what he didn't know was that the moment the door was completely closed, Chen Kai turned his head, and his expression was the same as that autumn night in the seventh year of Yongli.
