Chapter 1760: The Book of War
Cen Wenwen felt that in the case of the poisoning of His Majesty Li Er, the loss he suffered was too great
Although it is said that the Zhongshu Shilang and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu are of the same grade, in fact, the difference is still obvious. With-Dream- . lā
Zhongshu Shilang, that is the position of the Qing Dynasty, is mainly responsible for drafting edicts for the emperor. Although the official position is high, there is little real power.
The Book of Rites is different, it is one of the six Shangshu. Responsible for ceremonies, sacrifices, banquets, schools, imperial examinations and foreign affairs activities in the imperial court. When it comes to power, it's much bigger than the Chinese scholar.
Cen Wenwen's change from a Chinese scholar to a scholar of the Ministry of Rites can be regarded as a small promotion.
Now that Guo Ye is out of office, except for Wei Chigong, everyone has been reinstated, and Cen Wenwen's promotion has of course been ruined. Can his resentment against Guo Ye not be deep?
Of course, in good conscience, if it weren't for the poisoning of His Majesty Li Er, Cen Wenwen would not have been able to be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. In order to keep this Ministry of Rites book, Guo Ye can't let Guo Ye care about the life or death of His Majesty Li Er
But the question is whether the Cen text has a conscience
Zhang Liang was also quite unimpressed by his words.
He said: "Cen Shilang, if you calculate it seriously, you have nothing to lose in this matter, as for acting like this?"
"Why didn't the Ministry of Rites Shangshu was already a duck in my mouth, and he was so stirred up by Guo Ye, and he actually flew this matter and put it on whoever suffered, in short, from now on, there is him without me, and there is me without him"
"You just pull it down, how many times have you said this, what's the use of the people present who don't hate Guo Ye Now the key is how to deal with this person."
Wei Ting said: "As the saying goes, there are no more than three things. We have conspired against Guo Ye three times, and each time we have failed. In the old man's opinion, we can't fight Guo Ye, forget it."
Li You, the king of Qi, said loudly: "Forget it, how can you forget it, don't knock Guo Yedou down." What can I do with the throne of this king?"
Yin Hongzhi said: "Wei Shangshu should not be discouraged, this time it was supposed to be successful, but unfortunately the case of His Majesty's poisoning suddenly appeared, and we fell short." If you're lucky, Guo Ye has gone home to eat old rice now. ”
Wei Ting said: "Alas, Xun Guogong's three plans have failed, can there be a better strategy?"
Li You said: "What are the three plans, and the king thinks this is the first plan." ”
Wei Ting explained: "The first plan is to publicize the confidential Dade Temple case. In the second plan, Wang Gui took the initiative to come to the door to ask for glass utensils. The third plan is that Wang Gui committed suicide. The three schemes are linked, step by step, and they are exquisite. This can all fail, it can only be said that it is providential. ”
Li You said angrily: "Could it be that my father-in-law thinks that it is the will of heaven that does not allow the lonely king to be the lord of the world."
"Well, that's not what the old man meant. The old man said that Guo Ye is a person with great luck, and it is too difficult to deal with. Let's consider this matter from a different angle. ”
"A Different Angle"
"That is to say, even if you want to be the emperor, you don't necessarily have to get rid of Guo Ye. Can we think of another way, know how to reason, move with emotion, and maybe be able to pull him over. ”
Zhang Liang sneered: "It's not nice to say, if it weren't for Guo Ye, why would everyone be loyal to the King of Qi and the King of Jin, Li Zhi is the eldest son, wouldn't it be more justifiable for everyone to be loyal to him, don't make a mistake in wishful thinking." ”
Li Quan said: "As soon as Guo Ye made a move, he took our glazed vessels worth millions of yuan. Snatching people's wealth is like killing your parents. Our five major clans and Guo Ye swear not to stand apart. ”
Wei Ting sighed and said, "But Guo Ye, we really can't fight."
"If you can't fight, you have to fight, and then you have to fight, and the current form is not so desperate"
"Oh, Mo Fei Xun Guogong has come up with a three-pronged plan again"
Zhang Liang shook his head and said: "If it weren't for the Dade Temple case, if it weren't for the fact that Lao Wang Gui happened to be a member of the Five Great Scholar Clans, how could he be so easy to perform the three tricks in this situation, even if it was a blessing to invite heaven once, how could there be a second chance?"
"It's too reckless to deal with Guo Ye without a brilliant plan."
Zhang Liang said: "It turns out that we are not reckless enough, we just want to win by tricks, so we always steal chickens and don't win a handful of rice." We can't afford to repeat the same mistakes this time."
"It seems that Xun Guogong has already made up his mind."
Hearing the news that Li Quan, the patriarch of the Li clan in Longxi, and Zhang Liang, the duke of Xunguo, came together, Guo Ye was also stunned. He hurriedly opened the middle door and let the two distinguished guests into the living room.
After a period of greetings, Guo Ye coughed lightly and got to the point first.
He said: "You two are both nobles and busy, and you came to find someone Guo today, and I don't know what to see."
Zhang Liang said: "Zhang has no position now, and only retains the title of Lord of the Nation. As for the head of the Li family, he is only a common man, and he doesn't dare to be a nobleman. But our two brothers came to you to discuss something with you. ”
"If you have something to say, please speak."
"That's right, in the glaze workshop of the five major scholars, Zhang has a share."
"Mo Fei Xun Guogong is here to be a lobbyist for the five major scholars, for the glazed utensils worth tens of millions of yuan in the Dade Temple, sorry, it's late, those glazed utensils have all been submerged in the palace."
"No, no." Zhang Liang shook his head and said, "Those glazed vessels are the stolen goods of the monks of Dade Temple, and the court has already made a conclusion. Zhang didn't come for them. ”
"So what do you mean?"
Li Quan said: "Let's let the old man talk about it." I think that in Banqiao Town, our five major scholars have an agreement with you not to make glass ware for the time being. Everything will be said when you come back from Silla. Now that you've been back for a few months, I don't know what kind of charter Qin Guogong has."
"This" Guo Ye chuckled in his heart for a moment, and said that his own plan to delay the army, after two years, finally failed
He thought for a moment and said, "I'm sorry for the head of the Li family, Guo is busy with official business, and I really forgot about this stubble, I don't know if you have any regulations." ”
"Glass utensils are good things, but unfortunately they have always been expensive and cannot be enjoyed by ordinary people. Since our five great scholars have mastered the production method of cheap glass, of course we can't put him on the shelf. So, I want to discuss it with Qin Guogong in the next place."
"You're ready to sell cheap glass in large quantities."
"Not really. We don't have ready-made goods now, but if Qin Guogong has no opinion, we will have to produce them in large quantities in the future. ”
Guo Ye replied slowly: "Then what if I don't agree?"
"Then ask Qin Guogong to prove that you have the ability to make glass. If you can't prove it, we have to offend the five major scholars for the sake of the people of the Tang Dynasty to be able to use the glazed vessels. ”
Zhang Liang added: "Whether it is to let the people use glassware or glassware, it is a matter of immeasurable merit, if Qin Guogong does not take out glassware, and is unwilling to let us sell glassware." That's too overbearing. ”
Guo Ye said: "Listening to the posture of the two of you, it seems that I, Guo Ye, will definitely hinder the two of you from producing glass utensils." Hehe, that's ridiculous. Today, I, Guo Ye, put my words here, you can make your glass utensils, and Guo will never stop you. ”
"What do you say?"
"Do you need to say this a second time, Guo Someone, I never said that I stopped you from making glass vessels?"
"You just said that"
"Just now, Guo just asked casually, to see if the two of you take me Guo Ye as a friend, I didn't expect it, ah, tsk, the two really didn't take Guo in their eyes."
Ignoring Guo Ye's ridicule, Li Quan asked: "According to Li Leyong, the elder of this clan, I want to be in Banqiao Town, you"
"In Banqiao Town, Guo made it clear. If you use the method of making cheap glass to make money, Guo will never be embarrassed by you. But if you want cheap glass utensils to steal the business of Changle Fang's money bank, hehe"
Guo Ye just sneered, and the next words were not spoken, but the threat was overflowing.
Zhang Liang said: "In this way, we will only sell a large number of glass products, and you will not make glass and compete with us for business."
"Exactly."
"Then you are not afraid, after we manufacture the glass products, we will have a surprise attack on the business of your Changle Fang Daqian Village."
"Hey, you can try"
Zhang Liang said: "Okay, Qin Guogong's attitude, we all understand. ”
"I don't know where you're going?"
Li Quan and Zhang Liang glanced at each other and said, "Two years ago, you used these words to scare our five major scholars and suspend the glaze business. Two years later, you're still saying the same thing, you think it can still scare us."
Zhang Liang said: "From today onwards, we will make glass with all our might. As for the business of the big money village, our five major scholars will also intervene. When the time comes, whoever dies will be killed, everyone will have their own destiny. ”
Guo Ye's face sank, and he said, "It turns out that the two of you came today to give Guo someone a war letter."
"It was we who could have secretly made a large number of glasses and then attacked your business suddenly. However, after thinking about it, forget it, Ming people don't do dark things. Qin Guogong, our five great warriors are going to fight with you this time."
