Chapter 074: In the Name of Righteousness
"Your Highness is not kind in this matter, and the old man and Master Jiang have been counted!" After the two returned home, the master and apprentice met with everyone, and then entered the study and retreated from the left and right discussions. Zhao Yu said the original plan for the development of Qiongzhou this time, Ying Jieyan nodded after listening to it, and said with a crooked face looking at the prince with a smile.
"Hehe, Mr. is really smart, nothing can escape your eyes, don't blame it!" was called broken again, but Zhao Hao didn't have the embarrassment just now, he knew that if he didn't disclose the inside story, he was afraid that he would not be able to connect the seemingly unrelated things before and after, and then deduce his own layout.
"Don't dare, Your Highness is still smart, and the old man is ashamed." Ying Jieyan sighed for no reason, through a few interactions, he thought that he had a thorough understanding of His Highness, but what he said just now surprised him a lot.
His Royal Highness is in the next big game of chess, the Queen Mother, the Emperor, Liu Huang, Chen Yizhong, and even Zhang Shijie are all in the game, and he has become a chess piece on the chess scale of His Royal Highness since the moment he and Jiang Wanzai stepped into the palace. He was stunned to turn a seemingly impossible thing into a plan in one step through various means, if it weren't for His Highness telling it today, I am afraid that he would still be in the dark and not knowing. What is even more unbelievable is who would have thought that the trader was only a six-year-old child, although he had the name of the prince, he had no authority, and the court had no foundation, and the only help was the rabble in the palace.
If the roles are reversed and he allows himself to plan this matter, he should be strict and think that if he is still in the court, he can rely on his prestige and old old to contact the ministers to write a letter, and even give advice at the cost of his life, maybe he can promote it, but there is no clever plan of His Highness, and he will quietly put everyone in the bureau; But if you are dressed in white, let alone do it, you won't even think about it, you can only turn your blood into grief and indignation, send it into a landscape, turn it into a poem, and complain. Compared with the two, although His Highness's methods are suspected of calculating people's hearts, but which of the people in the court is not a ghost, and he has fallen behind in terms of cleverness.
"Mr. is knowledgeable and far-sighted, I am a small way, how can I compare!" Zhao Yu waved his hand. He knew that everyone has vanity, even the so-called sages could not escape this vicious circle, and some even worse. And Ying Jieyan has the aura of a prodigy on his head since he was a child, and he has the identity of a civil and military double jinshi, and it is inevitable to be a little conceited, and now he looks at Ying Jieyan's face gloomy, thinking that he feels uncomfortable being calculated by himself, so he hurriedly slaps his ass.
But if Zhao Yu knew what Ying Jieyan really thought in his heart, he would have to die of shame. When are people the smartest? A hundred people may have a hundred answers, but his answer is - when facing the threat of death, because survival is the lowest instinct of human beings, it can be said to be innate. Zhao Yu now knows that there is a dead end in front of him, how can he be willing to accompany the funeral, of course he will mobilize the wisdom he said to get rid of it, where can he still take care of what is noble, or yin, as long as he survives, it is victory.
"Your Highness is righteous, the old man has no place to be ashamed!" Ying Jieyan's face turned red and said, the more humble His Highness is now, the more he feels that he is not worthy of being a teacher, but he doesn't know that the starting point of the two is fundamentally different.
Zhao Yu is actually selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and in order to survive, he has to use the banner of righteousness. Ke Yingjie Yan Gen is a person of noble character, and with his understanding that the prince is a child after all, adhering to the ancient precept of 'the original nature of man is good', he takes it for granted that the prince is so for the country and the people, and he can't imagine that there is a 'dirty' uncle hidden in it. Therefore, they used some secret tricks and turned a blind eye to the means that could not be put on the table. But he put himself on the moral pole again, and felt that he was frustrated with the court, and he blamed himself deeply regardless of the loss of the country and the misery of the people, and of course he had a headache about how to teach this disciple.
"Sir, things have reached the most critical moment, and success or failure is all in the mind of Mr.!" Zhao Hao was anxious when he looked at him and sighed to himself, but his face was still calm, and he said leisurely.
"Your Highness, the old man will do his best to promote this matter, so as to fulfill His Highness's heart to serve the country and the righteousness of the people!" Ying Jieyan pondered for a moment and said solemnly.
"This Wang Dynasty Zhao clan, the people in the mansion, etc., thank you, Mr." Zhao Yu got up with tears in his eyes, clasped his hands into fists, and was about to bow down and salute.
"Your Highness has killed the old man!" Ying Jie Yan dared to accept such a big gift from the prince, and hurriedly helped him with both hands.
"Sir, save me, the Zhao clan can receive this gift, don't shirk!"
"The old man will definitely do his best to persuade Lord Jiang, Your Highness doesn't have to do this!" Seeing that His Royal Highness tried his best to give a full salute, and said such a heavy word, he didn't dare to take it, and took a step back to give a deep salute, he knew that the Queen Mother took herself as the master of the king and accompanied the pledge to Mongolia, which had the intention of entrusting the orphans, and he should not repeatedly test and live up to the Queen Mother's request.
"Thank you, Mr. Dayi will definitely be able to leave a name in history and spread the world!" Zhao Yu knew that if he could get the help of Ying Jieyan, he would naturally have to do the whole thing, and he still said with a half-politeness when his voice was choked......
After such a 'heart-to-heart', when the two sat down again, the relationship was one step closer, Zhao Yu knew that the old man had finally gotten into his 'suit', of course, he was also a little sorry in his heart, he said what he said in his heart was tantamount to moral kidnapping, although the old man was also half-pushed, but after all, he calculated first, and was suspected of taking advantage of it.
Zhao Yu was also an intellectual in his previous life, and instinctively rejected those conspiracies and tricks, but after entering the 'big dye vat', he suffered several losses, and he understood that society is not an ivory tower, it is the survival of the fittest, and the strong are respected. He is not stupid, and soon found that in the process of competition, he can only do half the work with half the effort, and the most economical and convenient way to achieve his goals is to find the least effort, the most economical and convenient way to achieve his goals.
Zhao Hao quickly 'degenerated' for a better life in the future, and after reflection, he also figured out that using power to seek people and things often can obtain the greatest benefits with the least effort and maximize the benefits. After a lot of hard work and skillful work, he soon got ahead. But he is not good at learning, and the black-hearted boss is a step ahead, and he seized his soft-hearted, good-faced and money-poor life, and drew a big cake for him to let Zhao Yu willingly get into the trap, and finally became a substitute for the dead.
After coming to this world, Zhao Yu found that his strength was too thin, and if he wanted to live and live with dignity, he could only rely on his brain to change the status quo. He knows that there is no difference in the struggle for power in ancient and modern times, or even more cruel, but those who are good at scheming win, those who are good at calculations win, and those who are skilled in scheming win, but this iron law of struggle is eternal and unchanging. At the moment of life and death, he had to cheer up and mobilize what he had learned in his life to deal with the current situation.
The design should be strict, naturally Zhao Hao's deliberate thing, and it should be said that it started from the moment the two met. People who are good sometimes take advantage of each other, and good and bad seem to have a look. Although Ying Jieyan is wearing old clothes, he wears the style of fairy wind and bones, and he seems to have an awe-inspiring righteousness that people dare not violate, but it makes people want to get close. That Chen Yizhong looks good, he is gorgeously dressed, and he can be called a middle-aged handsome man, but Zhao Yu is uncomfortable when he looks at him, with cunning in his eyes, and his body exudes a yin and damaging atmosphere, which makes people stay away and can't wait to walk around.
After several contacts and understanding from the side, Zhao Yu is more optimistic about the old man, not only a young prodigy, but also both civil and military, with work experience from the local to the central government, familiar with military and political affairs, and officialdom rules. What is even more rare is that he is knowledgeable, noble in character, and has the ambition to change the status quo of the current imperial court, resist foreign humiliation, and revive the prestige of the Great Song Dynasty. Although he is a little older, he is just over 60 years old, and according to modern standards, cadres at this level are not yet of retirement age, and it is a good time to be experienced and calm in their work.
Zhao Yu felt that this was simply a gift from God, and he was specially sent to assist him as a 'tabula rasa'. But he also knows that the more capable people are, the more difficult it is to collect them for their own use. Therefore, he did not want to include it in the palace at the beginning, but only wanted to use his prestige and ability to promote his own plan to escape from the imperial court. And whether he was putting on a 'abandoned son to survive', or using Liu Huang's mouth to say a series of things that happened on the plague ship, especially the 'mysterious' words were all laid out around this purpose.
'Pledging Mongolia' was originally a prelude to a bluff, just to win the Kaifu and win the trust of the Queen Mother, and did not do anything to be strict, but I didn't expect the Queen Mother to designate the old man Ying as her master. Surprise from the sky, can't help but let Zhao Yu thank God for mercy, and in this way, he really became his teacher and subordinates, at least nominally became a continuous whole, as a former executive, he knew that although some people looked like they were doing it with themselves, they must be sincere, but temporarily sheltered here for various purposes, and once there was a stir, they patted their butts and left. Therefore, such people can only be used, not trusted, let alone trusted.
If you want to turn Ying Jieyan into your own cronies, and become a helper who can be entrusted with your life, you can't help but use some means, although it may be disgraceful, but now that the struggle has reached the critical moment of life and death, and when you are about to see it, you can't care what others think and say. And what Zhao Yu did today was prepared, he knew that if he wanted to control the other party, he must find the weaknesses that the other party could be manipulated; And if it can't be detected or the opponent has few weaknesses, then the control operation may fail or be difficult.
After many years of fighting in society, Zhao Yu found that people have a common problem, that is, whether it is an emperor or a general, a peddler or a pawn, or even a ruffian, they all cherish their reputation, and the difference is only in the degree of depth. Of course, the higher the status, the more famous the person will cherish his feathers, like Ying Jieyan, who has lived for more than 60 years and won countless praises, will definitely not be an exception, and he does not want to and cannot lose in righteousness, so as to ruin his own evening, then Zhao Yu will give him the name of 'righteousness', so that he can't help but fall on the trap, and he will definitely not be able to betray the master......
