"I really didn't expect it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Zhang Cheng shook his head with a smile and a helpless expression.

"What's this?" The emperor sitting opposite him took a deep breath of cigarette and exhaled a thick smoke ring before he said leisurely, "No matter how beautiful he is, how powerful he is." In the eyes of others, he is just a lackey. But I gave him a chance to be an upright man. What do you think he would choose? ”

"To be human?" Zhang Cheng gradually restrained his laughter, took a sip of the water cup on the table, and said indifferently, "The most difficult thing to do in this world is to be a man." ”

"Perhaps." The emperor shook his head and looked at Zhang Cheng, "Is this hole card okay?" Are you qualified to work with you? ”

"Your Majesty." Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes, pulled the corners of his mouth, and chuckled, "He Ziqiu himself is a collaborator, how can he be regarded as His Majesty's hole card?" Your Majesty has anything else to tell him to do other things than promise him the title of king and allow him to open up the territory? These are only nominal things, and any name can be obtained as long as you have enough power in your hands. ”

Listening to Zhang Cheng's words, the young emperor's eyes suddenly burst into a gleam. Although he knew in his heart that what Zhang Cheng said was not wrong, but as an emperor, he was so humiliated, and the arrogance that had been suppressed instantly burst out, "You haven't thought that without me in the middle, He Ziqiu can have this idea?" If I hadn't told you all this, wouldn't you have to be stupid and use Zhang Yue as a backer to be slaughtered? There is no ...... of me."

"You're doing it for yourself." Before the emperor could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Cheng. Looking at the emperor whose face was a little red, Zhang Cheng smiled and took out a cigarette and lit it, "Your Majesty is very smart and knows that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." The Saga Consortium, Shousuke, and the army are all involved, and as an emperor who has been overthrown, there is no more favorable time than now. Even if it is only a little bit of the right, it is better than being kept in captivity by the family consortium all the time. ”

"Unite all who can be united. It's a time of war, and it's even more important to have someone in charge. Zhang Cheng said with a calm gaze, "Your Majesty, you haven't figured out what your advantage is. For everyone, your identity is your biggest hole card, and you have the name of righteousness. ”

"Your Majesty heard it right, it is the name of righteousness." A cold glint flashed in Zhang Cheng's eyes, and he said in a cold voice: "Although Your Majesty is just an emperor who specializes in stamping and sealing. However, whether it is prescribed by law or in the minds of the people, the consent of His Majesty is required to decide on any major matter. Whether it's killing people, arresting traitorous spies, mobilizing troops everywhere, eliminating traitors, and destroying people. Speaking of this, Zhang Cheng's voice paused, lowered his gaze, and his voice slowed, "Or remove the prime minister." These Majesty all have nominal powers. Before, there was just no one to support it, and this power was hollowed out. ”

For Zhang Cheng, if he really wants to make some big moves. The emperor's approval and endorsement are very important.

"That means that as long as there is someone to support me, I can take back my power as emperor?" The young emperor's voice trembled a little, and several pimples on his face were glowing with ruddy, this is the power that his grandparents have dreamed of reclaiming for generations!

"If I agree, I am lying to Your Majesty. I guess Your Majesty himself doesn't believe that there will be such a good thing, right? Zhang Cheng raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, "Since we have common interests now, let's join hands for the time being to deal with it together." The matter of the distribution of power can be talked about later. If I have time, I would like to meet with General Ho. ”

said that he had time to meet, but in fact he meant that the emperor would arrange for him to have an interview with He Ziqiu as soon as possible. How could anyone believe this kind of thing, completely listening to the emperor's words? It must be that two people with heavy troops will meet in person and discuss it in detail. Whether it is to take action or divide interests, the emperor is only a messenger in their eyes.

"I'll send someone to pick up the general tonight." The emperor inadvertently revealed an important information, He Ziqiu actually secretly returned to the imperial capital! You know, now is the time when fierce fighting is raging on the Kazan front. As the supreme commander, He Ziqiu suddenly returned to the imperial capital secretly, and once this matter is revealed, it will definitely cause an uproar.

In troubled times, no kind of strength can compare to the army in hand. The Saga Foundation and Shousuke-sama have great power and wealth, and their means and wisdom are also superb. But they are nowhere near as good as their predecessors who wrested power from the royal family. Because they were all born with a golden key in their mouths, they lived in a peaceful and stable environment. Although there is no shortage of smart people, they are far from the spirit and iron blood of their predecessors.

A group of people who play the trick of power are invincible under normal circumstances. But now it's a time of war, and the people they want to deal with are generals with heavy armies. This kind of thing is an extremely dangerous thing no matter which dynasty it happens. Bloodthirsty warriors rarely die obediently, and a careless one will inevitably end up with a river of blood.

The family consortium is essentially a group of profit-seeking businessmen, and the cause of this incident is also because of the incomparably eye-catching wealth in Zhang Cheng's hands. They lack the experience and determination to do the most powerful things, and even the secrecy is very poor. The number of people who know about this matter is expanding rapidly, even if there is no information from the emperor, it won't be long before Zhang Cheng knows about it. In fact, even Lord Shoufu is only proficient in power and strategy. They don't have any preparation or experience for this kind of thing.

All of them are making their own calculations and trying to put others in their pockets. In the end, who can do it depends on the strength and means in the hands of the individual.

......

"I really didn't expect that we would meet in such a situation." On the night of January 4th, it was another snowy day. Zhang Cheng quietly avoided the eyeliner around the official residence and came to a hidden imperial village. He Ziqiu, who went out to greet him, said with some emotion.

"I didn't expect that either." Zhang Cheng took off his leather gloves and stretched out his hand with a smile.

The two generals, who had a strong influence in the Ming army and were heavily armed, shook hands vigorously among the snowflakes flying in the winter of the imperial capital. There are never permanent enemies in this world, only common interests.

"I can't help with that." After entering the warm room and taking their seats, He Ziqiu took a sip of the teacup, waved his hand and said.

"I know." Zhang Cheng nodded. He Ziqiu's main forces were all on the Russian battlefield, and his own strength in the imperial capital was of little use, and this time he came mainly to discuss the general direction with Zhang Cheng. The real thing still has to be done by Zhang Cheng himself. If he succeeds, he directly takes the benefits, and if he fails, he treats it as if he doesn't know. He Ziqiu is the real sense of the Diaoyutai sitting.

"I'm sure you'll succeed." He Ziqiu picked up the grill gun on the desk and lit a cigar, leaned back on the back of the sofa, crossed his legs, put his hands on the sofa, squinted his eyes slightly and said, "I'm not saying flattering words." You're one of the finest young men I've ever met. I've lived so long, what kind of person haven't seen it? But I have never met a young man as energetic and capable of anything as you. Your momentum is something I've never seen before, and your future is limitless. ”

"I know." Zhang Cheng didn't mean to be modest, and now is not the time to be modest. If you don't show your strength, who will cooperate with you? Why don't you eat it as a snack dipped in soy sauce?

After all, they are both powerful figures in the military, and everyone knows what strength the other side has, which is also the basis for the two sides to cooperate.

He Ziqiu has been in the army for decades, and he has the strong support of the family consortium behind him, and his influence in the army is very great. Most of the troops on the Russian battlefield were directly or indirectly controlled by him, and he deserved to be the first person in real power in the army.

Similarly, as a rising star, Zhang Cheng's ability is not weak. The powerful army aviation was completely in the hands of Zhang Cheng, including several elite airborne divisions. Most of the armored forces, which are considered by the vast majority of people to be the core strength of the army, are directly or indirectly in the hands of Zhang Cheng. He also has absolute rights in the Western Pacific theater of operations, the Caucasus theater of operations and the North African theater of operations. Another point is that many people know that he has opened the line of the commander of the imperial capital garrison. This is very important.

"If you succeed, I'll acquiesce. As long as I can get what the emperor promised. But if you fail, I'll treat it as if it didn't happen, and I won't admit that we worked together, and I won't stand up for you. He Ziqiu's words were very cold, but they were the truth. He is now in the position of watching the tiger fight. Zhang Cheng succeeded, and he took the benefits. Failure has nothing to do with him.

"Yes." Zhang Cheng agreed without hesitation. For Zhang Cheng at this time, no matter what happened before, no matter what happened after. It is imperative to unite all forces that can unite to overcome the immediate crisis.

"Do you know what the Emperor promised me?" He Ziqiu's body paused slightly, and he looked at Zhang Cheng with some curiosity, who had always had a calm face.

"Anything is fine." Zhang Cheng was not interested in discussing this matter, "I will take what I want." ”

"Hahaha~~~" He Ziqiu was slightly stunned, then raised his head and laughed, "Good, good, good!" Young people like you are natural leaders. If I were twenty years younger, I wouldn't have worked with you. ”

"Huh." Zhang Cheng took a sip of the teacup on the desk, and smiled noncommittally. Who says people lose their ambition when they get older? Zhang Cheng never thought so.

Almost all the Shoufu adults who are already desireless can be moved, let alone He Ziqiu. In life, how many people can really completely let go of the word fame and fortune? The difference is just whether or not you have the ability.

He Ziqiu wants to use Zhang Cheng to make a fortune for him, why isn't Zhang Cheng also using him? Although it seems that Zhang Cheng is at a loss, in fact, Zhang Cheng is the one who has made the biggest profit! He now has a great chance to get rid of the crisis of the annihilation of the whole army, which is the biggest gain for Zhang Cheng!

As for the future, then everyone will rely on their own abilities. (To be continued.) )
