Chapter 148: Fang Xuanling's Analysis
Li Haochen looked up at the person, and couldn't help but smile on his face: "It turned out to be Mr. Xuan Ling!" It's not a polite habit to eavesdrop on someone else's conversation! Li Haochen said half-jokingly, but as a superior person, he did not like troubled subordinates at times.
The person who came was Li Haochen's current number one military advisor Fang Xuanling, in fact, the last crusade against Li Shimin Fang Xuanling was also a hero, originally the imperial court awarded the official position of the Ministry of Rites, but I don't know what the reason is, he refused, and he died in Li Haochen's mansion, and he didn't know why. Li Haochen also talked to him about this, but this Fang Xuanling's sophistry ability was not weaker than Li Haochen at all, and Li Haochen couldn't convince him at all, so he left it to him.
Fang Xuanling listened to Li Haochen's words and hurriedly saluted: "General, I didn't mean to listen to the general's conversation, but I couldn't sleep at night, I came out to hang out, and saw that the general's study was still lit up, and I wanted to come over and say hello to the general, who knew that there were people in the general's study, so I didn't dare to come in rashly, so I had to wait outside the door, and accidentally heard the general's conversation!" ”
Li Haochen has learned Fang Xuanling's sophistry, and knows that he can't talk about him, so he simply doesn't argue with him about this, Li Haochen didn't treat Fang Xuanling as an outsider, and on this matter, in fact, Li Haochen just wanted to discuss it with Fang Xuanling, you must know that Fang Xuanling, the famous minister of the Tang Dynasty in history, is famous for his wisdom. Thinking that since Fang Xuanling had already heard it, he would save him a lot of trouble in repeating it, so Li Haochen asked directly: "Mr. Xuanling, what do you think about this matter, what should I do?" ”
Fang Xuanling smiled and said: "If the general hasn't promised the emperor yet, I will definitely suggest that the general not agree, even if it will make the emperor temporarily dissatisfied with the general, it will not hurt!" ”、
After listening to Fang Xuanling's words, Li Haochen sighed, and then said, "Why?" ”
Fang Xuanling smiled indifferently and said: "General, from the emperor's narration, I know that this matter of the Yellow River in Henan is definitely not something that one person can manipulate, he should be a terrifying political group, and the energy of this political group can hide the possibility of more than a dozen ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China. It may not be possible to look at the things of this interest group, then there is also a possibility that they are all threatened by this interest group, and the general thinks that this interest group can threaten more than a dozen important ministers in the DPRK and China, and you can imagine his energy. Now that the general has an unstable foothold in the DPRK and China, it is obviously unwise to touch this interest group. ”
Li Haochen listened to Fang Xuanling's analysis and nodded, he had to admit that Fang Xuanling's analysis was right, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "But now I have promised Your Majesty, you can't let me go and tell Your Majesty tomorrow, I can't do this, right?" Saying that, Li Haochen spread his hands helplessly.
Listening to Li Haochen's words, Fang Xuanling still had that serene smile on his face and said: "The general actually doesn't have to be discouraged, let alone tell the emperor that you won't do it, which will make the emperor think that the general is the kind of person who is not determined to do anything, and the general will be completely beaten into the cold palace by the emperor." In fact, it is not necessarily a good thing for the general to take on this task, and the general has his own advantages. ”
This time it was Li Haochen's turn to look at Fang Xuanling with a smile, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Xuanling, where is my advantage?" In fact, before Li Haochen promised Li Jiancheng, he had a plan in his heart, he had a plan in his heart, he had a premeditated calculation, naturally it was impossible to impulsively agree to what Li Jiancheng could not do, that would be counterproductive, so that he would lose Li Jiancheng's trust in him.
Fang Xuanling's starry eyes flickered as if he could understand everything in the world, although he had already understood that Li Haochen was considering him, but he was not angry, and he didn't sell it, this world is like this, if you don't show sufficient strength, no one wants to play with a waste, Fang Xuanling wants to get a more important position in Li Haochen's heart, then he has to show himself at this moment, Fang Xuanling, who understands this, directly said: "The general already knows everything in his chest, but since the general asks, he will say it in vain, See if it is in line with the general's wishes, the general's advantage is that the general is from the military, and he can use the strength of the military to jump out of the political struggle and directly suppress it by force. The second advantage of the general, the emperor is already unbearable for the affairs of Henan, just like a thick sore in the human body, and now the patient has made up his mind to cut him, and the general is the knife that cuts the sores, no matter how ruthless he is, the patient will not blame the knife, in other words, the general can go to Henan and let go of his hands and feet to do it, and the emperor will definitely support you. With these two points, it is decided that the general's trip to Henan will be bumpy but not dangerous. ”
Li Haochen was very satisfied with Fang Xuanling's answer, he basically thought the same as Fang Xuanling, he used the words of his previous life to go to Henan, he wanted to form a military government, the army managed the place, and the autumn wind swept away the leaves to clean up the Henan officialdom.
After Li Haochen affirmed Fang Xuanling's answer in his heart, he looked up at him again and asked again, "Mr. Xuanling, do you have anything else to add?" Is there anything else we need to prepare before we go to Henan? ”
Fang Xuanling heard Li Haochen say that before we went to Henan, he knew that Li Haochen had agreed to his request when he entered the door just now, and he really accepted himself, and he was very happy in his heart, listening to Li Haochen continue to ask, Fang Xuanling hurriedly said: "The general is going to Henan, there are three strategies for the general to choose, for the general to plan in the future, the general is not big, let the Henan interest groups be used by the general, and after returning to Chang'an, you can tell the emperor that the flooding of the Yellow River is undoubtedly a point, although the emperor will suspect but will not punish the general, However, I am afraid that the general's ability will be doubted, which may make the general lose the emperor's trust in the future, but you have this group in hand, and the emperor can't help you. The middle strategy is to fight a group of tigers and leave a group of flies, the harm of the Yellow River can be solved, the emperor will double his trust in the general, and at the same time the general will have his own political team. The emperor will praise him on the surface, but in his heart he will blame the general for being too ruthless, and the entire Henan officialdom is estimated to be one out of ten by then, and the general will not have his own political team. As for what needs to be prepared, we need a master investigator, so that we can quickly grasp the evidence, and it is easy to kill, but the general must have evidence in his hand to be convincing! ”
Before Li Haochen could speak, a scolding came from the door: "Okay, you Li Haochen, you actually discussed with your staff about forming a gang, are you still worthy of Your Majesty's trust in you?" ”
