"Lord Geng"

Since Geng Nanzhong was so sensitive and hateful to the title, Tan Zhi became more and more diligent,

"Lord Geng, if Marquis Wencheng raises the banner of Qingjun, I guess there will be countless people in the world who will respond angrily. Zhao Gonglian will act in a righteous and upright manner, and will be reasonable, and it will be easier to get rid of certain people in the DPRK and China. What do you think, Lord Geng? “

“......”

Not only Zhao Huan was stunned, he didn't know how to deal with that situation at all. Geng Nanzhong is so conceited, he doesn't know what to say at this time.

After holding back for a while, Geng Nanzhong calmed down his anger and impulses, slowed down, regained his sanity and shrewdness, and faced Tan Zhi for the first time, a mere eunuch, and once again glanced at Tan Zhi with arrogant and disdainful eyes, snorted and sneered a few times, and said slowly: "This official was almost taken into the ditch by your eunuch's tricks." ”

"What you just said is all hypothetical. The old man might as well tell you that Zhao Gonglian will not be opposed. He's not a eunuch who can't be a big husband like you. He has the ambition and discipline of a doctor and a husband. And you, no. Therefore, what you guess is your own unbearable quality and insight as a eunuch, and what you will do when you have the opportunity. ”

Tan Zhi was exposed to the most taboo scar of the eunuch, and he completely hated Geng Nanzhong in his heart, but he was not angry or confronted Geng with a ruthless attitude.

He became smiling and sighed in surprise, "It turns out that Lord Geng has decided that Zhao Gonglian is a great loyal minister who is extremely loyal to the country and the king. Even if his younger brother, whom he had always defended as his eldest brother as his father, was executed by the imperial court, he would never rebel in anger. ”

"Then, our family doesn't understand. Since Zhao Gonglian is a loyal minister, and he is a cadre who is very important to the safety of our Great Song Dynasty at the moment, such a border important person is not a disaster for the imperial court, but an important minister that the imperial court must value and cherish, so why can't Lord Geng wait to get rid of him? “

"Could it be that the loyal ministers who are really capable should not exist, and those officials on the contrary should live, and they should occupy important positions in the court and harm the country and endanger the king, but it is in line with the normal way of heaven, and they can be justified in doing evil and enjoying power and wealth in peace?"

"Master Geng, why are you doing this?"

"Are you for the country, or for your own selfishness, for Zhao Gonglian, who has damaged your face and hatred, and is only in a hurry to take revenge in order to prove your power and prestige?"

"Of course, it was to take revenge on Zhao Gonglian, who dared to despise my talent and humiliate me. Also, he's so capable, staying alive will hinder my chancellor's path to the top. The official is to take revenge on him for selfish desires, to kill him for selfish desires, and he doesn't want him to live longer for a day, what's the matter? This official is now the dignified right minister and the second most powerful man in the military, what is he Zhao Gonglian......." Geng Nanzhong roared and shouted in his heart, but he only snorted slightly angrily on his face, sneered a few times, and continued to answer disdainfully.

Moreover, he defeated the famous and famous Zhao, who was rare to see for thousands of years, and bravely and wittily eradicated the peerless genius Zhao Gonglian, removed this powerful and terrifying hidden danger for the country, and raised his might and sat on the throne of imperial power for His Majesty the Emperor.......... Such an amazing wisdom and feat of this official will surely go down in history and become a great story that shocks the eternals.

He has the courage to do things tragically, not afraid of sacrifice, not afraid of hardships and dangers....... There are so many delicate rivers and mountains, how many heroes are there at one time........ and so on.

He also knows very well that Zhao Gonglian is already a helpless person, even a helpless person. From the imperial court to the local government, there are many officials looking forward to Zhao Gonglian's fall, at least looking forward to seeing the legendary joke that the once beautiful and prosperous Cangzhao family has risen from a miracle to a complete demise without accident.

The time, the place, and the people's hearts are ........ are all on his side Geng Nanzhong, and he has absolute confidence to defeat Zhao Gonglian.

Tan Zhi didn't know what Geng Nanzhong wanted to show such calmness, calmness, confidence, and invisibly becoming more and more arrogant and passionate, but he could roughly guess it with a sweep of his eyes.

It is nothing more than a calculation of the advantages of Dou Zhao's incorruptibility, the huge benefits that can be obtained, and the historical prestige that the indispensable scholars are most keen to pursue.

He pondered, and then slapped his face from the point of fame.

"Lord Geng, you are forced to die Zhongliang, maybe you are not afraid that the world will misunderstand you and scold you for being shameless, you can rely on what you think in your heart, shameless. But the court must have a dignified face, afraid of misunderstanding, and have scruples. ”

"There have been so many strange things, tragic and unfortunate things in our Great Song Dynasty this year, and the imperial court has already borne too much resentment from the people of the world. People are already discussing and questioning whether the imperial court is too incompetent, and the people have been scattered. The situation of the imperial court was already extremely difficult. Lord Geng? You won't deny this, will you? If it happens again, Lord Geng like Zhao Gonglian also thinks that it is a loyal minister, so that the world will feel that our court is incompetent and unfair..... To add insult to injury, the majesty of the imperial court will be lost, then this matter will be a big deal. The consequences are unpredictable. “

"You eunuch dare to scold me for being shameless?"

Geng Nanzhong's anger and impulse were successfully and easily provoked by Tan Zhen, "You lowly eunuch dare to scold Zhu Zi of the Manchu Dynasty for being incompetent and shameless? “

He is shameless in his actions, but this kind of shameless behavior of Confucian officials who have always resorted to extreme shame in political struggles can be known but cannot be directly exposed.

See through, don't say break, this is the traditional rule of officialdom.

Geng Nanzhong didn't feel that what he did was shameless, he just acted according to the rules of officialdom infighting. If you want to gain a foothold in officialdom, you should do so. It has nothing to do with the morality of the person who does it.

How many people in history who acted despicably and shamelessly to the point of being successful were the ones who had the last laugh, and were evaluated by later generations as capable ministers of the world and meritorious heroes of the country and the nation, and were remembered, grateful, and remembered by future generations. It can be seen that politics is only about the result, not the means. As the saying goes, become a king, defeat a villain. Winners can smear losers as much as they want. No matter how ugly a traitor is, he can be glorified as a saint when he becomes a victor....... Later generations can only understand the situation at that time through history books, what truth can they know?

And Tan Zhi actually saw through it and said it, breaking the rules of officialdom, is this not a person and an official, or is he arrogant and ignorant and looking for death without intentionally challenging the rules and traditions......

Geng Nanzhong stared at Tan Zhi with incredible eyes in anger, and pointed at Tan Zhen's nose, "You, you, you, you, what a big dog!" “

If he hadn't thought that even if Tan Zhi was a eunuch, he wouldn't be able to beat him, and under his anger, he would rush up and kill Tan Zhi on the spot with his own hands to get rid of this eunuch.

Tan Zhi is not afraid, nor is he panicking.

He knew that Zhao Huan, the emperor, was not worried.

Just be respectful on your face and get by with etiquette.

He said something unscrupulous in front of Zhao Huan that shouldn't be said by the eunuch, and even if Zhao Huan didn't agree, he couldn't help him.

Because the old emperor is opposed to the new emperor, he is guarding against the emperor, and he believes in his Tan Zhen's words. Zhao Huan didn't even have the freedom to visit his father at any time, and he couldn't talk to Zhao Ji at all, and if he did, Zhao Ji would also put a question mark in his stomach, and he wouldn't be easy to believe. And his Tan Zhen's words are what Zhao Ji is willing to believe and is willing to listen to his report at any time.

Of course, Tan Zhi also has to pay a little attention to Zhao Huan's face, and round off the taboo to facilitate the trouble that may arise afterwards.

Geng Nanzhong was extremely angry, but he did not forget the most important thing to make the emperor believe that he listened to him, and his firepower changed from only attacking personal conduct to attacking Tan Zhen's political naivety and ignorance, so he roared at Tan Zhi with disdain, and actually explained to Zhao Huan: "How can national affairs be decided purely according to the loyalty of which courtier?" Everything must be weighed politically, which is more important and which is lighter, which is urgent and which can be relieved, and which is the most beneficial.... They all have to be weighed clearly. For the long-term planning of the stability of the country and the fortune of the country, some sacrifices have to be made, and some loyal ministers should abandon the sacrifices, even if they can't bear it, they must be resolutely abandoned. Isn't that what loyal subjects value and hope ........for?"

"The sacrifice of Zhao Gonglian's subordinates can turn the most terrible crisis facing the Great Song Dynasty at the moment, the danger of Liao's destruction of our country, into invisible. And if you do it well, you can completely resolve the threat of Liao, an old opponent, and reverse the passive danger since the Song Dynasty, and you can in turn suppress Liao, right...... The Great Song Dynasty survived and the people were able to regain their health........ Let's do it....... Zhao Gonglian and the Cangbei Army sacrificed worthwhile, which greatly benefited our Great Song Dynasty. Isn't Zhao Gonglian always boasting that he is the most virtuous and virtuous person who determines the country and saves the world? He died in this matter, just as he wished, and died as he deserved. What's more, the Cangbei Army is only loyal to Zhao Gonglian, not loyal to the imperial court, and has become the most dangerous henchman of my Great Song Dynasty.....

When Tan Zhi heard this, he couldn't help pouting: Saying a thousand ways and ten thousand, it's not that Zhao Gonglian is too capable, too meritorious, and persistent and loyal, but he is the most damned?

He was fighting with Geng Nanzhong, instead of really caring about national affairs, and he couldn't listen to Geng Nanzhong's hypocritical and insidious truths.

He only cares about how to step on Geng Nanzhong to vent his anger and show his majesty and his talent and insight,

After tearing his face and making a move, he had to defeat Geng Nanzhong today.

Didn't Geng Nanzhong say that he was going to arrest Zhao Er?

Then persuade or intimidate the emperor not to really give an order to arrest,

Geng Nanzhong said that no matter how much he was reasonable, he couldn't do it, so he won, and it was also in line with the old emperor's intention to prevent Geng Nanzhong's ruling experience from being too shallow, but he was bold and willful, causing an uncontrollable disaster. In this way, Geng Nanzhong was so defeated that he could only lose his temper, and he could only dry the nest and be even more angry.

Geng Nanzhong took care of him, but he refused to take care of Geng Nanzhong, and without waiting for Geng Nanzhong to finish beeping skillfully, he turned to Zhao Huan, who was confused, hesitant and frightened, didn't know who to believe, and didn't know what to do to Zhao Er: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid are duty, and I have to remind Your Majesty." ”

"If you catch Zhao Er, it will become a hot potato.

We can't kill him, we can't let him go, and we can't even torture him to extract confessions.

As long as Zhao Er was arrested, the face of the imperial court to kill the Cangzhao family was revealed. Zhao Gonglian talks about loyalty and integrity, but he is not a fool, in any case, the imperial court and the Cangbei army have torn the last veil, and they will inevitably become hostile parties, and the imperial court wants to alleviate the current predicament, and the last bit of room to control Zhao Gonglian and continue to use it for a period of time will be gone. ”

Zhao Huan looked at Geng Nanzhong, who was embarrassed and had to shut up, and subconsciously wanted to rely on Geng Nanzhong to help him make judgments and make ideas.

Tan Zhi saw Geng Nanzhong's cockfighting expression, and immediately rushed to say: "Your Majesty, what the slave said about Zhao Gonglian and the Cangbei Army will deal with Zhao Er's arrest, what Lord Geng said is all hypothesis, speculation, and some distant things, and the right does not count.

Then, the one that the slave and maid want to remind can be easily foreseen, and as soon as he makes a move, it is very likely that His Majesty will be able to see the things in the capital immediately, please listen to Your Majesty. ”

"It's still hypothetical."

"Suppose that when Zhao Er was arrested, the Liao envoy who was in the capital suddenly made a move to obstruct him, resolutely refused to arrest him, defended Zhao Er, and even helped Zhao Er escape, what should I do? Does the imperial court dare to turn against the Liao envoy at this time and use force? ”

"Now, everyone knows that in order to take our country lightly, Liao must be secretly trying its best to tempt and win over Zhao Gonglian. said that Zhao Gonglian couldn't move, that saved Zhao Er, so that Cangzhao had to appreciate it, and had to owe this big favor, then, will the development of things be unexpected, unexpected, and completely out of control to the worst? “

"Don't talk about Cangbei, just talk about the present,

If the Liao envoy team and Zhao Eryi take the initiative or passively, and combine to fight against the imperial court, what can the imperial court do in this consequence? “

Geng Nanzhong obviously hadn't thought about this beforehand.

As soon as he heard that Zhao Er was coming, he happily thought that this was Cangzhao testing the attitude of the imperial court, proving that Zhao Gonglian still did not want to rebel against the motherland, let alone take refuge in the feud Liao State.

Now when I heard about this possibility, I thought about the scene, especially the consequences that it would cause, and I couldn't help but feel that a knife was cutting at me, my neck shrank, and I subconsciously pulled my legs and wanted to run, as for where I could run, I didn't have time to think about it, in short, I fled the capital and avoided it to a safe place.

In history, when he heard that the Jin army was coming, he did just that. It was from the imperial study where the monarch and the ministers were talking privately and jumped up as soon as he heard it, forgetting that the emperor was in front of him, forgetting that the loyal monarch who kept flaunting his patriotism and might, and was not afraid of death for the king, and even forgot that he was still in the most noble and sacred imperial study, the monarch and the ministers were talking with each other, and they only fled, and escaped from the palace and the capital in one go...... Afterwards, Jin Jun didn't come, he came back in disgrace, and continued to be an official and a slaughterer without shame, and continued to say to Zhao Huan that he was loyal and patriotic.

When Zhao Huan asked him why he ran away as soon as he heard that the Jin army was going south, he was very sincere and honest, but in fact he said shamelessly: The minister was afraid of death, and he was frightened when he heard that the Jin army beasts were coming, and his mind was blank at that time, and he couldn't think of anything, so he just ran away. Zhao Huan, the three stupid emperors, actually understood very well, and still trusted and relied on such a trick as always.

And Tan Zhi saw Geng Nanzhong's frightened and ugly state at this time, and couldn't help sneering and sighing: Geng Nanzhong is really cowardly in public war and brave in private fighting. Rigid and self-serving, self-serving, cowardly and incompetent and extremely afraid of death, but he has unlimited courage and willfulness to the end when harming the country and his colleagues. Zhao Gonglian's ability to recognize people is really amazing......
