Chapter 310 [Pang Juan is actually a good helper]
Zhao Ji was like an out-and-out traitor, not only entrusting Bai Dong's plan to Pang Juan, but also answering everything carefully, as long as it was the content of Pang Juan's inquiry, he was even more patient than when the academy master answered the students' questions.
Pang Juan has never been a rough person, the questions he asks are all to the point, if Zhao Ji has the slightest hidden deception, he will be immediately discovered, but after more than an hour, he can't ask the slightest flaw, and finally believes that Zhao Ji is determined to be a traitor to Fengming Academy, and what he said is the truth.
Pang Juan left quietly, just as he came quietly. Zhao Ji was actually very strange, hearing that Bai Dong had such a huge and exquisite plan to pit the country, the general of the Wei State did not get angry, but laughed loudly, as if he had encountered the happiest thing; This made her very puzzled, not only Pang Juan's appearance, but also why Bai Dong arranged it like this, was it just so that she could repay Pang Juan's 'kindness', and then she could let go of her psychological baggage and harm Wei to the fullest?
Zhao Ji has always thought that she is a smart person, but at the moment she feels that she is actually a little girl who doesn't understand anything.
After sending Pang Juan away, she sat under the peach tree and slowly drank tea and ate snacks, frowning and thinking about her thoughts. In her life, she met two men who changed her, the first was naturally 'Engong' Pang Juan, and the second was Dean Bai, the former saved her life, so that she could let go of her hatred, and even protected her at the expense of her own reputation, and the latter opened a window for her, letting her know that there were still many interesting learnings in this world, and even the hundred schools of thought were just the words of one family in front of that person, not the truth of heaven and earth.
The man who opened the window for her now asked her to 'repay' the benefactor who saved her life. If it weren't for the person's approval. Although she will still choose to be 'loyal' to Fengming Academy. But the heart will not be comfortable; Pang Juan is a good person, in the eyes of the enemy country, he is even a killing god and a devil, but in her eyes, he is the person who makes her regain her confidence in life, can she go to harm his country with peace of mind?
So what she is most grateful for now is Bai Fuzi, who has to help people untie their hearts when employing people, who else in the world will do this except Bai Fuzi? Even if this is a means to convince people's hearts, she is willing to be successfully subdued by Bai Dong.
"Master. Thank you."
Zhao Ji's eyes were a little red, and she lowered her voice and muttered to herself, like a girl with a spring heart confiding in her dream lover.
"He will be very happy to hear you thank him, you are a great beauty."
There was suddenly a delicate body on the wall, a snow-white dress, with a face like a hibiscus full moon, smiling at her.
"Flea Columnist!"
The flea who is unwilling to be lonely is now the same as Qi Diaomiao, who is responsible for teaching the two ways of 'shooting' and 'royal' in the academy, and she also teaches the art of longitudinalization. It's just that practicing this kung fu is too hard, and there are not many people who can persevere. Zhao Ji is just one of them.
The flea smiled at her, still on the wall to keep guard, but the courtyard door was gently pushed open, and a young man walked in with a smile, followed by the one-armed swordsman Nie Zhu.
"Zhao Ji see the master! Wei is a dangerous place for the master, how can the master be in danger? ”
Zhao Ji's face was slightly red, she really couldn't think of any reason for Bai Dong to come to Wei State, thinking of Bai Dong's arrangement for her, she felt that the dean seemed to care too much about her, a female student; But this made her very happy, and she only hoped that the master would be more 'excessive'
"What's at stake? Wei and Qin have not exchanged troops, so can't I, the 'white master' of old Qin, come to Wei to set foot in the spring? Don't say that Pang Juan doesn't know that I'm coming, even if he does, are you still afraid that he will be unfavorable to me, a 'junior brother'? ”
Bai Dong sat down in front of Zhao Ji with a smile: "You don't have to misunderstand, I'm not here for you, there is really an important person who has appeared in the Wei Kingdom, and I have to come to see him." Did you tell Pang Juan about that? Is he happy and smiling like a flower? ”
Zhao Ji was amused by him, but thinking that Bai Dong said that he was not here for her, she was inevitably a little disappointed in her heart; However, she is Zhao Dafang, who is used to seeing the scene, so naturally she will not come out lightly: "As the master said, the general seems to be very happy. Zhao Ji thanked the master, if it weren't for your arrangement, I'm afraid I would not be able to complete the important things that the master explained, Zhao Ji respects the master, but he is also grateful to the general."
"You're wrong again. I want you to do this, although it is to help you open the knot, but it is also for Lao Qin's plan, in fact, you still helped me. ”
"I leaked my master's plan to General Pang Juan, but I helped my master?"
Zhao Ji is such a smart person also feels that his head is a little insufficient, Nie Zhu stared at Bai Dong with wide eyes, since following Bai Dong, there have always been surprises, but this time the surprise is the biggest.
"I tempted Wei with the world's salt profits, not just to make money, but to make Wei's economy collapse, and then to anger others, when the Zhao State, Qi State, and Yan State are afraid that they will all be involved in the war. This may be very cruel, but in this Warring States era where the great powers stand side by side, even if I don't provoke war, other countries will also provoke it, in this case, it is better to let me do it, at least worthy of Lao Qin"
Bai Dong stood up as he spoke, and looked in the direction of Daliang: "However, Wei Ying is not a mediocre person, and Wei also has virtuous ministers such as Gongzi Ang, Hui Shi and Long Jia, although Wei is confused by salt and profits, and invests ninety percent of its national strength in it, but after all, it has been a strong country for many years, and naturally has a set of laws and regulations to protect the country's heritage." Mo said that Wei Ying was not a faint king, even if he was really a faint monarch, he might not devote the whole country to the salt industry, so even if he borrowed money from Wei merchants, there was still a 'national capital' in the Wei treasury in case of emergency, and this part of the 'national capital' could not be induced, and even if my plan was realized, the effect would be greatly reduced. ”
"Then how to induce the 'national capital' of Wei? Did the Master say?"
"Yes, you are very smart, this matter must be done by Pang Juan."
"How is that possible! The general is a loyal minister of the Wei State, isn't the master afraid that he will tell the king of Wei about your plan? Zhao Ji's eyes widened, and it was estimated that no one had ever sued her. Zhao Guoda, who has always been elegant and calm, suddenly stared at his eyes, which was actually even more cute. Nie Zhu looked straight at it.
"What about suing? I have been with Xu Gong for a long time, and now even Wei Ying is alert. Wei will also suffer a lot of vitality. This is not a conspiracy, nor is it a conspiracy, it is purely a matter of crushing people with wisdom and financial resources, from the very beginning of this game, Wei Ying is destined to lose"
Bai Dong chuckled: "And you don't know Pang Juan, the reason why he, a natural war maniac, is willing to be the general of Wei is not because he wants to be loyal to Wei, but because Wei has enough force for him to squander." He became a famous general in this world. I dare to guarantee that if Lao Qin's force surpasses Pang Juan today, and the monarch is willing to start a war as he wishes, he will not hesitate to run to the Qin State to be a general! Think about what Pang Juan has done, go to fight Zhao today, fight Lu tomorrow, and teach South Korea the day after tomorrow, attack everything and win the battle, but he has erected countless strong enemies for Wei, but Wei Ying is generous and benevolent on the surface, but he is bent on being the overlord of the world, which is a similar smell to the monarchs and ministers. ”
"The master is saying that General Pang Juan will only care about whether there is a war or not. But you won't care about the economy of Wei? ”
"Those who will care about the economy of Wei are virtuous ministers such as Hui Shi and Gongzi Ang, and in recent years, Wei has been less and less military. In fact, it is the credit of these people. Pang Juan has been suppressed for a long time, and has been waiting for the opportunity to start a larger-scale war, and now I have given him a chance, do you think he will help me secretly, or will he destroy my good deeds? ”
"Master is saying that General Pang Juan knows about your plan, not only will he not destroy it, but he will also secretly help you, so that Wei will suffer a big loss, and then he will have a chance to start a war?"
Looking at Bai Dong, Zhao Ji couldn't help but be secretly frightened, she suddenly felt that the most terrifying people in the world were not King Wei and Pang Juan, but this Dean Bai, her teacher. It seems that in the eyes of this person, even the enemy, even Pang Juan can become his pawn, and he can calculate a country with a random move
"Don't look at me like that, I'm not so scary. I know Pang Juan because he and I belong to the same Qingximen people, and they are also my senior brothers. "A lie has been told a thousand times to be the truth, and Bai Dong's face is getting thicker and thicker now.
"I still have another question, why did the master ask me to say it to Pang Juan instead of myself?"
"You go and say, even if you don't deceive your savior, as for how Pang Juan chooses, that's his business, so you can untie the knot. If I say it, Pang Juan will not only not help me, but will ruin my plan as you said, because I am his junior brother! In his temperament, the more his fellow disciples and brothers wanted to do something, the more he had to obstruct it, and it was more important for him to do such things than to start a war. ”
"The student still has a question to ask the master, who believes in me and other college students so much, but he doesn't seem to be afraid of our betrayal? Haven't you been worried, sir, that I will tell General Pang Juan what you said? After all, he has been very kind to me. ”
"Afraid? Why should I be afraid? Everyone expects everyone in the world to be loyal to him, but is that possible? If there is a person who worries about the betrayal of his subordinates every day, then he will not die of exhaustion, but also stupid! You are all good students of mine, whether you betray or not, how can you affect what I want to do? What's more, true loyalty is not earned by means of power, and you will always understand this one day."
Those who have seen winter will not be loyal to summer insects, they will only be loyal to the big people who have seen the mysteries of the universe; Nor do people in civilized societies bow down to a tribal chieftain because they are more spiritually superior. So Bai Dong wouldn't worry about the students betraying him at all, as long as these students could really integrate with the hundred schools of thought and have the most unique vision and worldview in the world, would they betray him? What if there is a real betrayal? These people will still slowly change the world as he expects, as for whether they are loyal to Lao Qin or other countries, how much difference is there?
Zhao Ji will not understand this state of mind, and neither will the smartest people in this era, unless they have the same two thousand years of experience as Bai Dong.
Zhao Ji stared at Bai Dong silently for a long time, and suddenly got up and bowed down: "Zhao Ji only learned today that Mr. has the most beautiful flowers in his chest and the most vast sea, even if he is the best person in the world in front of Mr., it turns out that he is just a firefly against the bright moon, Mr. Please accept Zhao Ji's worship."
Just like the Tibetans who worship the living ~ Buddha in later generations, Zhao Ji slowly lay down at the feet of Bai Dong with an extremely respectful face, she was very willing to just raise her head and look at the master, the master should be so tall.
"Don't be a sycophant, you go to Zhao Guo and do your thing. It's time for Master Ben to meet that important friend."
Zhao Ji stood up a little reluctantly, her face was actually a little flushed, and the well-informed Zhao Dafang suddenly became a shy little girl: "Zhao Ji went to prepare some wine and food, how about the master eat and drink before leaving?" (To be continued......)
