Li Gui also praised and praised: "Fourth Brother Lin can't rebel, but he is a good hand in his old business, there is a world of difference between traveling on the water and the forest of Wuthering Mountains, no matter how fierce the hero on land is, it is generally difficult to use it on the sea, he can open up the situation in just two years, and he is indeed worthy of the title of a hero." ”

"It's not that simple, a lot of people died." Eldest Sun Hong said indifferently, lowered his eyelids and stretched out his hand to gently brush away a trace of dust on the small table next to him: "Rui Fuxiang has invested a lot of strength in Quanzhou, and the Ran brothers have not moved their nests in Quanzhou in the past two years. ”

Li Gui listened, looked up at Changsun Hong, and didn't say anything, but the turbulent waves in his heart were beyond words.

The huge Rui Fuxiang system has now become a giant comparable to a huge empire, Li Gui's dark ghost system is mixed in, you have me, I have you, but each plate has its own person in charge, just like the dark ghost leader Li Gui, although he also hung the name of a deputy shopkeeper in Rui Fuxiang, but in fact, it focuses on the aspect of dark ghost spy intelligence, as for the rest, there are other people to catch the general.

And the Ran brothers also hold positions in Rui Fuxiang, due to the distance between Tiannan and Haibei, Li Gui has not met with them twice on weekdays, of course, it is not convenient to ask what the two are doing, Li Gui is a person who knows the current affairs, knows the powerful relationship, and will not go out of his way to inquire.

Today, Changsun Hong's casual remarks revealed the busy whereabouts of the Ran brothers, and Li Guifang realized that Changsun Hong had secretly laid out a monstrous situation in the South China Sea.

Although Li Gui knows that Changsun Hong is not an ordinary person, he has mountains and seas in his heart, he has a strategy in his chest, and his ambition is higher than the sky, which is far from being comparable to ordinary heroes. However, it is a clear signal that the Dark Ghost System is completely unaware of it and invests huge resources in the South China Sea.

Changsun Hong is reluctant to let one person have too many secrets.

The operation of the South China Sea is certainly not as frivolous as the eldest grandson Hong said in his words, the twists and turns in the inside must be thrilling, the Ran brothers and Lin Laosi can gain a firm foothold in the south, and they can also do enough to alarm the fundamental situation of the Great Song Dynasty's wealth, and how big the power of Rui Fuxiang in the South China Sea is, you can imagine.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Gui's heart couldn't help but be in turmoil.

But on second thought, isn't that what the Emperor's Art is all about? Although he grew up wearing a pair of pants with Changsun Hong, the relationship is deep and incomparable, and his trust in himself will never have any impurities, but when it comes to the depths of the overall situation, no matter how good a friend is, he can't surpass Lei Chi.

The heart of the emperor, the needle at the bottom of the sea.

Li Gui lowered his head and rubbed his hands crampedly, then raised his head calmly, and figured out where he should be as a courtier, and everything suddenly became clear.

Changsun Hong didn't seem to notice Li Gui's small movements, but continued slowly: "The Great Song Dynasty, those who can speak in front of Li Zong have the support of the gate lords behind them, otherwise the descendants of the Zhao family fled south to Lin'an, and without the support of the forces, they would have been wiped out long ago." If it is subdivided, it can be divided into three groups. ”

"A group of people are the northern gate lords who fled from the north with Gaozong, most of these people are generals, most of them are martial artists who were promoted after the Chenqiao Mutiny, they were suppressed after the Taizu Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty ruled the world, so they naturally marginalized these people. When they came to Lin'an, they didn't have much status. ”

"The other group of people is the Confucian scholars of the south. They rely on the imperial examination to enter the office, based on literary talents, the Great Song Dynasty ruled the country and leveled the world, relying on these scholars, because they are the officials appointed by the Son of Heaven of the Jinluan Palace, also known as the protégé of the Son of Heaven, these people can read poetry and books, the family is naturally rich, and it is still difficult for ordinary poor people to eat, where is there spare money for children to study? Therefore, these Confucian scholars generally have big chaebols as backers behind them, and they are the biggest force in the court and the spokesmen of the rich people in the south. ”

"These people hold the right to be selected by the annual scientific examination, and of course the scholars in the middle of the examination are their students, year after year, they have twisted into a rope that is enough to influence the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, and anyone who wants to be an official in the Great Song Dynasty does not participate in this rope to be a grasshopper on a rope, and this official position will not be guaranteed sooner or later."

"As for the third gang, they are the real children of the Han Sect, they have nothing to do with the Dragon Gate, there is no other way but to tend to the flames, these people are the weakest, and they can be at the mercy of anything."

He looked at Li Gui and raised his three fingers: "If Emperor Lizong has an accident, it must be these three groups of people who can influence the next prince." We want to support the puppet emperor, as long as we have the support of these people, then it will be easy. ”

Li Gui nodded silently, feeling that what Changsun Hong said was good, but he had doubts, it was okay to say so, but it was very difficult to really do it, these people were all human spirits, could it be so simple to join forces with Changsun Hong, an outsider?

He asked this question and received an answer from Changsun Hong with a smile.

"There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as there are interests." Eldest Sun Hong said: "No one is a loyal and unyielding iron man, as long as he is given benefits that he can't refuse, no matter how upright his backbone is, it will be bent." ”

After a pause, he added: "If you can't, then the benefits are not enough, or the way of benefits is wrong, change it, give a little more, and it's fine." ”

"For example, if someone loves money, give it to him; If someone is greedy for power, give him power; Or if someone is in love with a name, give him fame; If someone cares about righteousness, he gives him righteousness. ”

"Anyone has a weakness, anyone has a bottom line, on the basis of not touching his bottom line, meet his requirements, just do it, he will definitely follow us with all his heart."

Li Gui felt that his lips were a little dry, and he couldn't help licking them, and asked, "What if...... I mean, in case someone doesn't do it, there will always be such a ......."

"The exchange of interests is mutual, and few people are so dead-eyed." Changsun Hong smiled and said, turned his palm into a knife, and slashed diagonally in the air: "If it can't be reconciled, then it can only be killed." Glory and achievements are often built on a bloody foundation. ”

Li Gui's eyelids jumped, his nose twitched a few times, and he laughed with Changsun Hong.

He seemed to be in the air, smelling a thick smell of blood.

In January of the fourth year of the Great Song Dynasty Baoyou, just after the Shangyuan Festival, the eldest grandson Hong, who received the decree of Li Zong, set off in response to the call, and took the mighty black armor barbarian army from Jingzhao Mansion to the south, and went straight to Xiangyang, where the Jinghu envoy was stationed, and the joint camp was fifty miles outside Xiangyang City.

Its scale is comparable to the invasion of the Jin Kingdom and the Mongol invasion a few years ago, which made the chickens and dogs in Xiangyang jump.
