Chapter 190: Meng Talks About Three Strategies (I)
At that time, when he saw Zhang Meng talking, Wuxian bowed to him slightly, and told him everything that had happened before.
After that, he said sincerely: "The dark tide of the lower palace is surging, can Zhang Zi help me?" β
Zhao Wuxian's eyes were blazing, and he looked directly at Zhang Mengtan.
Half a year ago, after analyzing the different personalities of Zigong and Zhang Mengtan, he made a strategy of "first making friends with friendship, and then tempting them with a good political prospect".
After the two intersected for half a year, Zhao Wuxian has always treated each other politely and behaved heartily to Zhang Mengtan. He knew that Zhang Mengtan was calm and indifferent on the outside, but he was also a little arrogant in his heart, and he had great ambitions to rule one family and one country.
Zhao Wuxian did what he liked, and while increasing his friendship, he also confided in his predictions about the situation of the Jin Kingdom and the princes from time to time, as well as many novel ideas from later generations, which could make Zhang Mengtan breathtaking.
Under Zhao Wuxian's strategy, Zhang Mengtan also swept away the idea that Zhao Wuxian was just a "Chinese asset". I feel that he is deeply hidden, just like himself, flat on the outside and quality on the inside. So I also began to make friends with him.
What's more, in the past few months, the Zhao family and the Fan family fought a hot war between the goods and colonies, and Zhang Mengtan has also been paying attention. He found that for half a year, it was Zhao Wuxian who had been stirring up the situation in Xinjiang quietly. As soon as he made a move, he let the Zhao family master half of the Su market, specializing in the wheat flour industry, and with the help of porcelain, he also entered the lacquer pottery market in one fell swoop, and even the jewelry and jade luxury industry with a hundred times the benefits.
Because of this person, at least in terms of wealth, the Zhao family began to gradually gain the upper hand in the six Qings.
At the same time, Zhao Wuxian is also good at seizing opportunities, and is carefully managing his relationship with the monarch, perhaps in the eyes of those scholars who claim to be upright. This is the practice of favored ministers. But considering the practical factors, this is likely to allow the Zhao family to gain the same status as the Zhi clan in the hearts of the monarch, which will benefit and harmless. It is a very far-sighted act.
From the few words revealed by Zhao Wuxian in the past, Zhang Mengtan knew. This gentleman is not only capable, but also ambitious. His subordinates Zigong, Ji Qiao and others are not general, and they have also received the support of Wendi Zhao Guangde, and the limelight has overshadowed several brothers, as if they are the most powerful contenders for the future Zhao clan sect master, which makes Zhang Mengtan, who originally adopted an attitude of "pro but not attached", gradually give birth to the heart of dedication.
In fact, he slowly grew up as he got older. gradually revealed his wisdom and talent, Wei Ju and even Han Hu had the heart to solicit him.
Although the Zhang clan is now a subordinate of Zhao Ying in the upper army, it is normal for the children of a clan to serve different Qing clans. Not to mention the many rival Qing clan's disciples under Luan Ying in the past, let's just say that now within the Zhang family, Zhang Mengtan's brother Zhang Liushuo is Fan Ji's party.
Originally, Zhang Mengtan was still a little hesitant, after all, Wei Ju and Han Hu's status is very solid, and it is not comparable to the concubines now.
And the last straw that made him make up his mind and make a choice. It was precisely during this Yan feast that Zhao Wuxian equated his status with Han's Han Hu and invited Zhang Mengtan as a guest of honor. came to the palace for a banquet, and wanted to introduce him to Dong Anyu, a doctor in Jinyang who he had admired for a long time.
Zhang Mengtan was moved, but also made up his mind to pay attention, perhaps, Zhao Wuxian is the right person for his future monarch...... Of course, the premise is that he can really be the son of the world, and even the sect master of the Zhao family.
Zhang Mengtan has been slow since he was a child, which is in the clan. It was once considered a sign of dullness, and he was ridiculed by his peers. Neglected by elders. It wasn't until a swallow drink that he met Dong Anyu, who was still a little boy, who was even more slow. But at that time, Dong Zi was already in the position of the Zhao family and ascended to the position of the head of the retainers, who would dare to underestimate him?
Pei Xian was anxious for Dong Anyu, so that Zhang Mengtan found his future goal, and he also tied himself to the jade and deliberately imitated Dong Zi.
Now, he touched the strings and jade on his belt, but he didn't see the excitement and excitement of admiring his idol again, only the mission given to him by Zhao Wuxian remained.
Zhang Meng talked about such a smart person, Zhao Wuxian didn't even need to explain it thoroughly, he understood that his future lord was going through a fatal crisis.
This is different from the path that Zhang Mengtan expected before, but he is not the kind of short-sighted person who is purely interested, since he has made up his mind, coupled with the friendship of a friend who asks him for help, the other party will give him a peach, and he will inevitably repay him!
What's more, Zhang Mengtan knows that Zhao Wuxian has a lot of talents, and this crisis is likely to win him the position of chief strategist in the future!
Adding embroidered flowers to the brocade silk is impressive that there is no hot charcoal delivered in the winter snow.
After ten years of studying, reading all the classics and history, he has hidden the snow in his chest for a long time, and in the past, he only used one or two when the children in the Pan Palace were fighting, but today, it is finally his turn to do his best!
So, on the cool autumn breeze, the young advisor thought for a moment, and then analyzed the situation with his young friend, who was also the future lord.
"If Yin Jiazai and Doctor Fu proposed among the retainers that they should respect the gentleman Bolu as the prince and take the government of the palace when the army is not hesitating, the gentleman has no reason and no name to oppose it. And the doctors, and even Han Hu, the grandson of the Han family who is present today, will support it, and by then, the general trend will be gone! β
Zhao Wuxian said: "However, now that my father is sick, Wuxian should be by his side to do his filial piety, and he can't think about anything else, but the Zhao family still needs our support, and the husband also needs to be responsible, not to mention that I am a descendant of the Zhao family." β
He added an explanation: "It's not that Wuxian likes power, let alone covets a big position, it's just that it was the time of the Jin Kingdom, and the princes looked at it, and if they wanted to save the life of the clan, they couldn't help but think about it." Poetry, worried, hungry and thirsty, worrying about his father's safety now, can't think of a good way, disdainful words, bystanders are clear, dare to ask Zhang Zi what tricks can he teach me? β
After that, he sincerely surrendered his hand to Zhang Mengtan for advice.
Zhang Mengtan replied humbly: "Talk, there are three strategies, and I hope that the gentleman will choose one of them and use it." β
Zhao Wuxian secretly said that he really didn't find the wrong person, although Zhang Mengtan was still in the age of a weak crown, he could recognize people and have quick wisdom, which just made up for some of his shortcomings.
"Zhangzi, please speak."
Zhang Meng said: "The next strategy is a dangerous strategy! β
He stretched out a little finger and said: "The gentleman once said in a conversation that the three doctors in the lower palace, the Yin family is in charge of wealth and civil affairs. Doctor Fu is in charge of the diplomacy of the Qing clan and the princes, and these two doctors now want to be safe and set up the eldest gentleman Bolu as the son. Only Sima You, who is in charge of the clan soldiers and military endowments, is not inclined to the throne of a gentleman. β
"The gentleman can let Tan hold the jade ring as a token. Go and test the post Sima and persuade him to do it anyway. With the Zhao family soldiers, with the Chengxiang soldiers, the internal and external flanking attacks, and the momentum of thunder to control the lower palace. When the overall situation is settled, the gentleman can claim that the general of the army has whispered to you before, and promised him as the son of the world, so that he can do so. A gentleman can ascend to the throne of regent! β
This is the next policy, and it is also the idea that Zhao Wuxian once had in his heart, and then immediately rejected it, once it is implemented, there will be too many enemies. Zhang Mengtan put it first and said, there must be a better way.
Zhao Wuxian couldn't show his appearance too ugly, he pretended to be hesitant and said: "Launch a coup d'Γ©tat when my father is sick, not to mention that once it fails, the end will definitely not be good, even if it succeeds." I have mastered the lower palace, but how will the small sects and retainers of the rest of the Zhao clan think of me? What will the Jin Kingdom and even the world's corporal doctors think of me? This is a must-have! β
Zhang Mengtan seemed to have expected that Zhao Wuxian would not take this strategy, and he smiled slightly: "Indeed. However, this strategy is too dangerous and strange, and although the post Sima is inclined to be a gentleman, it is still unknown whether he can take the risk of doing this. What's more, once the Zhao clan is bandang, Fan and Zhongxing may take the opportunity to enter the lower palace, and the Han clan will also be angry about this and will not help the gentleman, and even small sects such as Handan and Lou will oppose the gentleman. When the time comes, there will be enemies on all sides. There may be no place for a gentleman in the Jin Kingdom. β
So he then stretched out his left ring finger and continued: "Secondly, there is the middle strategy. Compared with the adventure of the next strategy, this strategy is to seek stability. Respond to change with the same. β
"If the army will collapse once the mountain collapses, and the gentleman Bolu is established, the gentleman may not be able to stop it, at that time, with the support of the Han family, the Zhao family can be stable for several years. I look at the gentleman Boluqi, who has a soft personality, filial piety but no talent, and will not give birth to jealousy and jealousy. The gentleman can ask the monarch to be the master, and then persuade the gentleman Bolu to split the land and seal it, please be the king of Jinyang, independent as a small sect of the Zhao family, and the status is the Handan clan today. There are these counties, to the north can open up Rongdi, to the south can be fortified to defend the city, with the ability of a gentleman, it only takes more than ten years to return to Xinjiang, ranked as the secretary. β
Zhao Wuxian listened to it and groaned, retreating as advancing, this sounded like a good method, if he didn't know what happened later, he would probably applaud and follow Zhang Mengtan's advice.
This method can be regarded as a gecko cutting off its tail and giving up the position of the son of the world in exchange for actual benefits. Zhao Wuxian is indeed confident that he will lead his subordinates and forces to transfer and become bigger.
But without Zhang Mengtan's detailed explanation, he can see the weakness of this strategy without worrying about himself.
First, there will be gains and losses, once he lets go of the position of the son, he will lose the legal jurisdiction over the entire Zhao family, and he will lose the right to protect his sister Ji Huan. In this way, the future of the Zhao family and Ji Huan is like duckweed, as a small sect, he is far away in the north, and he can't control the situation single-handedly.
Second, there will be a war between the six Qings, perhaps according to the inertia of history, in five or six years, but if Zhao Ying dies, it will even accelerate the process of the war, perhaps, it will break out tomorrow.
At that time, he still has time to leisurely build Jinyang and open up the north?
Third, will things really go as smoothly as imagined? Asking for a split sect may be successful, but when the time comes, Bolu will be the suzerain, and the far-sighted retainers of the Zhao clan such as Yin Duo, Fu Suo, Post Wuzheng, Dong Anyu, etc., will be loyal to him, and they want to get Jinyang from Dong Anyu? How difficult it is, at most there is only one small county in the interior, sandwiched between the territories of various forces, and the situation is precarious.
So, unless you are desperate, you don't plan to choose this strategy.
So, Zhao Wuxian pondered for a moment and said: "It's still inappropriate, dare to ask Zhang Zi's best policy, what is it?" β
Asked by Zhao Wuxian about the best policy, Zhang Mengtan hesitated for a rare moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "Don't blame the gentleman, this best policy is still based on the premise that the generals can finally wake up safely, although Tan feels that he is not completely sure ......."
"My father is a hero in the world, with the protection of the emperor and ancestors, he will definitely be able to recover, please say it with confidence!" Now, Zhao Wuxian is in a dilemma, and he can only hope that history has not changed because of him, and Zhao Ying can survive this time and will lead the Zhao family to continue to move forward for many years.
Of course, Wuxian doesn't want to be a young eagle sheltered under Zhao Ying's wings forever, but his wings are not hard enough now, how can there be eggs under the nest? This is the helplessness of reality.
From the perspective of inner selfishness, Zhao Ying's life can only end after the position of the unsympathetic son is stabilized! On the other hand, seeing the comatose and weak appearance of the tiger-like secretary in the past, Zhao Wuxian not only had a faint sadness connected by blood, but also a trace of sympathy for the hero's end.
Zhao Ying, although he has many character flaws, he is also a world hero, the founder of the famous Zhao State in history!
Therefore, he should not have died on the bed, in the tears of his children and the panic of his retainers!
He should leave with the Zhao family's victory, strength, the glory of seeking hegemony, and the comfort of his successors!
Wuxian made up his mind, this time, he was not for his own life, Zhao Ying was unwell, his sister Ji Huan, and this Qing clan that has been inherited for hundreds of years, nearly one million people in the country, he will protect it!
He regained his composure, "Zhangzi, please speak." β
Zhang Mengtan also took a deep breath, bowed to Wuxian and said: "The next policy is too urgent, the middle policy is too slow, and the so-called best policy is ......" (to be continued)
