Today, Zhang Baoer invited Jiang Jiao to come over, Jiang Jiao was uneasy in her heart, and she didn't dare to slack off in the slightest. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Bao'er saw Jiang Jiao but didn't say a word, which made Jiang Jiao panic for a while, even in the face of today's son Li Longji, he had never been so out of shape.

Zhang Bao'er looked at Jiang Jiao opposite her, and finally asked, "Shopkeeper Jiang!" Long time no see, okay? ”

Jiang Jiao finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Zhang Bao'er speak.

"Entrusted with the blessing of the Duke of the Kingdom, Jiang is all right!" Jiang Jiao said cautiously.

"Or according to the habit of Luzhou, call me Bao'er! If you call me the Duke of Dingguo, I am afraid we will not be able to speak any further. Zhang Baoer said lightly.

Jiang Jiao was stunned, and he looked at Zhang Bao'er in puzzlement.

"Do you know why I call you Shopkeeper Jiang instead of Chu Guogong?"

Jiang Jiao shook his head.

"That's because when I was a friend when you were in Luzhou, I could say a few words to you, if I called you the Duke of Chu, then I could only speak with you, do you understand what I mean?"

Jiang Jiao felt a touch of emotion in his heart when he heard this, and he nodded silently.

"Do you still remember the big business that I discussed with you in Luzhou back then?" Zhang Bao'er asked suddenly.

"Remember!"

How could Jiang Jiao not remember that Zhang Baoer told him that if he wanted to be really rich, he was still the emperor's family. Zhang Bao'er asked him to fully assist Li Longji, the king of Linzi who was just a side branch at that time, and he didn't believe it at that time, who knew today......

At this moment, Jiang Jiao suddenly understood where his awe of Zhang Baoer came from, that is, his ability to accurately grasp the current situation.

Zhang Bao'er asked again: "This business is done, and the shopkeeper Jiang can't use up the money for a few lifetimes, I don't know what to do next?" ”

"This ......" Jiang Jiao really didn't think about the next step.

Jiang Jiao knew that Zhang Bao'er would not ask this sentence for no reason, so he tentatively said, "I wonder if Bao'er can teach me?" ”

"I'll tell you a story!" Zhang Baoer did not answer Jiang Jiao's words, but told the story by herself: "Once upon a time, there was a businessman who made a fortune because of his good management. Later, he felt a little tired and didn't want to do business anymore. It is said that he has money, and even if he no longer does business, he should live a very comfortable life. However, he fell into a bad habit. Within two years, not only did Wanguan's family have nothing left, but he also became a flower child. ”

Jiang Jiao waited for a while, but he didn't see Zhang Bao'er say anything more, he asked suspiciously, "Finished?" ”

"It's over!"

"What bad habits does he have?"

"Gambling!" Zhang Bao'er said with a smile.

Jiang Jiao suddenly realized: "No wonder, nine out of ten gamblers lose, and they are not as bankrupt as pigs." Deserve! ”

After thinking about it, Zhang Bao'er would definitely not tell him this story for no reason, and he asked again: "I don't know what Bao'er means?" ”

Zhang Bao'er stared at Jiang Jiao for a while, but did not speak.

Jiang Jiao didn't know what Zhang Bao'er meant, he was silent for a while, he gritted his teeth, got up and bowed deeply to Zhang Bao'er and said, "Jiang is stupid, please forgive Bao'er, and ask Bao'er to speak up." ”

Zhang Bao'er sighed and said, "Shopkeeper Jiang, sit down!" ”

Jiang Jiao sat down in a panic.

"If you want to listen to me the truth, you have to tell me the truth, shopkeeper Jiang, can you do it?"

Jiang Jiao nodded and said, "Bao'er, I promise that every sentence is true!" ”

"Shopkeeper Jiang, you are not only a hero of Your Majesty, but also a friend of Your Majesty, I heard that you can sit and eat at the same table with Your Majesty's concubines. Is there such a thing? ”

"Is that true?"

"This shows that Your Majesty treats you very highly, and with Your Majesty's trust, it is not worth earning thousands of family fortunes!" Speaking of this, Zhang Bao'er's expression changed abruptly, and she asked sharply: "That being the case, why do you still have the vice of gambling?" ”

"I ...... I...... When did you become a gambling habit? I didn't! Jiang Jiao stammered and explained.

"No?" Zhang Bao'er snorted coldly and said: "Then let me ask you, Zhang said that he had looked for you, and told you that you fought hard to fight the country, and it is only right that you have to sit." Your Majesty's heart is to Yao Chong, this person is not the same heart as you heroes, you can't sit idly by! He also said that you, Jiang Jiao, have a good relationship with His Majesty and the Emperor, and let you persuade Your Majesty. He also taught you an idea, saying that he would not let His Majesty be suspicious, and let Yao Chong not become the prime minister! Is there such a thing? ”

Jiang Jiao looked at Zhang Bao'er suspiciously: "It's true, Bao'er, how did you find out?" ”

"It doesn't matter how I found out, did you really go to Your Majesty later, only to be found out by Your Majesty?"

"Yes!"

"What is this not gambling?"

"Huh?"

"Let me ask you, who gave you everything you have now?"

"Your Majesty!"

"Since you know that Your Majesty gave it to you, and you are not with Your Majesty, and you are secretly calculating Your Majesty, what are you not gambling? Don't think that you have a good relationship with Your Majesty and get carried away. You know, Your Majesty is the king of a country, and if you annoy Your Majesty, he can make you rich and rival the country, and he can also make you have nothing. I don't believe it, you don't even understand this truth? ”

Zhang Baoer's words made Jiang Jiao's head sweat.

"From ancient times to the present in all dynasties, there are few heroes who have a good end. Many heroes Taoguang can't escape the emperor's suspicion, let alone those who think they have a little merit and don't know how to fly and dominate? ”

Jiang Jiao's face was pale, and sweat was dripping.

"What you are doing now is no different from gambling? The difference is that the person in the story is gambling on money, while your shopkeeper Jiang is gambling on life. ”

Jiang Jiao pounced on his knees when he heard this: "Jiang knows that he is wrong, please teach me Bao'er." ”

"Do you know what Your Majesty wants to do most right now?" Zhang Baoer asked.

"Let Yao Chong return to the court!"

"You're smart!" Zhang Bao'er said lightly: "You first atone for your sins, try to achieve Your Majesty's wishes, and obtain Your Majesty's forgiveness for your betrayal." After this is done, if you can make up your mind, you can resign and return to your hometown. If you are reluctant to hold an official position, be a dumb person who doesn't care about anything, and enjoy your glory and wealth. If you continue to be as ostentatious as you are now, you will surely die. ”

"Jiang Jiao thanked Bao'er for her advice, but how can I convince those people?"

Zhang Bao'er shook her head and said, "I can't help you anymore, you have to figure out your own way, which is more important, you weigh it yourself......"

……

When Zhang Baoer was in full swing and secretly operating, Li Longji was not idle, Zhang Baoer said that Wei Zhigu must be persuaded to be fully sure of this matter. Compared with Zhang Shuo, Wei Zhigu is much easier to deal with.

Li Longji specially invited this old minister of the Four Dynasties, and at the banquet, Li Longji counted in detail the merits of Wei Zhigu in Emperor Zetian, Emperor Zhongzong, Emperor Ruizong, and now Emperor Ruizong, and praised his conscientiousness and loyalty. This trick really worked, and Wei Zhigu was moved to tears. Li Longji took the opportunity to put down the shelf and pleaded with Wei Zhigu and asked him to help let Yao Chong enter the court. Seeing that the emperor trusted him so much, Wei Zhigu patted his chest without hesitation.

After getting rid of Wei Zhigu, Li Longji breathed a sigh of relief, and the rest depends on the results of the prime ministers' discussions.
