Chapter 52: Secret Deliberation (4)

Wang Xianqi's words resonated with the other "righteous society" brothers present, especially Han Chongyun, who was closer to Shi Shouxin, and everyone responded, and the secret room became chaotic for a while. Faced with this situation, Zhao Pu was not in a hurry. He did not immediately give an explanation, but sat there quietly, allowing the brothers of the "Righteous Society" to accuse him and scold the "Qingyuan" brothers of the Beiping Army. After a long while, when Wang Xianqi, Han Chongyun and others had finished speaking, they were tired of scolding, and the grievances in their hearts were almost vented, Zhao Pu regained the right to speak in his own hands and enlightened: "Brothers, don't be impatient, and listen to Pu finish speaking." Yes, Pu Fangcai did say that we should get closer and have more contacts with the 'Qingyuan' brothers of the Beiping Army, to get closer to our relationship with the 'Qingyuan' brothers, and to gain the trust of the 'Qingyuan' brothers, because if we want to do great things and achieve great things, we must live in peace with the 'Qingyuan' brothers, and we must let the 'Qingyuan' brothers believe that we are friends and not enemies. Even in order to achieve this goal, we need to put aside Brother Shi's great enmity for the time being, and we need to be commensurate with the enemy brothers.

However, what Pu wants to explain here is that getting close to the 'Qingyuan' brothers, and then commensurate with their brothers, is only a last resort to do our 'great things' and achieve our 'great cause', and it is only an expedient measure before we achieve the great cause. As the saying goes, 'a gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late'. After our 'big things' are done and our 'great cause' is accomplished, we can completely use the power, strength, and military strength in our hands to turn around and deal with this so-called 'friend'.

In Pu's opinion, although his Beiping army is huge and powerful, in the final analysis, the thirty-six brothers of 'Qingyuan' are still mortals rather than saints. When a foreign enemy comes to attack, they may unite and unite with the outside world, but once the foreign enemy is gone, and the court treats them favorably, they are bound to relax, slack, and greedy for pleasure. When the time comes, in the face of the temptations of power, money, beauty, and so on, Pu doesn't believe that his 'Qingyuan' brothers can still be like now, they are a 'iron plate' that can't be pierced by needles and splashed with water. As long as some of his thirty-six brothers covet power, money, and beauty, we can lure them and confuse them with lust, and promise them the richness and wealth of high officials, so that they can be used by us.

In this way, given time, it will not be difficult to break up his 'Qingyuan' brothers, make them infighting, and fall on each other. Once the 'Qingyuan' brothers turn against each other and kill each other, then no matter how big he is and how strong his military strength is, he will become disheartened and have no fighting spirit. At that time, the imperial court may only need an edict to cause the Beiping army to collapse and disappear. At that time, it was said that he wanted to find out the culprit to avenge the Shi brothers, but I was afraid that even if he wanted to kill the 'Qingyuan' brothers, it would not be impossible. ”

After listening to Zhao Pu's explanation, Wang Xianqi realized that he had misunderstood the other party, and hurriedly said to Zhao Pu: "Brother Zhao is worthy of being Brother Zhao's first staff member and first think tank, and this kind of far-sightedness is far from comparable to ours. Where Wang's words collided, I hope Brother Zhao will forgive me. ”

Zhao Pu waved his hand again and again after hearing this: "Brother Wang is serious. Brother Wang is also out of brotherhood with Brother Shi, and Pu has no reason to blame. ”

"I don't know how Brother Zhao plans to bring down that Zhang Yongde, and how he plans to get close to the 'Qingyuan' brothers?" Seeing that Zhao Pu and Wang Xianqi had made it clear and there was no suspicion, Zhao Kuangyi on the side took the opportunity to raise his own questions.

Zhao Pu shook his head when he heard this, and said, "How to bring down Zhang Yongde, Pu already has a plan. However, we still need to think carefully, and we need to wait for the right time. Therefore, Pu has to sell a pass here and keep it secret for the time being, I hope you will forgive me. As for how to get closer to the 'Qingyuan' brothers, Pu has no magic plan at the moment, and he still needs to think about it with all the brothers. As the saying goes, 'if you want to hurry, you can't reach it'. After all, we didn't have much contact with the 'Qingyuan' brother before, and if we rashly got close to them at this time, I was afraid that not only would we not be able to get closer to each other, but would arouse the suspicion of the other party. ”…,

Zhao Pu's words were agreed by the brothers present, and everyone nodded yes. Everyone came up with ideas and ways to come up with a word, and they didn't disperse until late at night.

Here, Zhao Pu and others are thinking about how to get closer to the "Qingyuan" brothers of the Beiping Army in Kaifeng City, and the "Qingyuan" brothers are also in Taiyuan City, thinking about how to take advantage of the complicated political situation in the Later Zhou Dynasty and seek the greatest benefits for themselves. With the news that Chai Rong's illness has been delayed and not getting better, the news has been continuously transmitted back to Beiping City from the "Dark Feather" Kaifeng Branch Palace, and after Chai Rong returned to Kaifeng from Youzhou, he thought that the fate of this king had changed due to the continuous flapping of the wings of his group of "butterflies", and the traversers had to reassess the future situation, and seriously considered whether the story of the "yellow robe and body" that they thought was unlikely to happen again in this time and space would be an inevitable process, and it would become a part of history anyway.

To this end, after some deliberations, the committee decided to convene an enlarged meeting of the committee on the day of Zuihou in the tenth month of the lunar calendar to discuss and study the matter. Because at this time, Li Junwu, Zhang Weixin, and Xu Shao'an were all busy in Taiyuan City because of rezoning, reorganization and reorganization, and preparations for the construction of new factories, and in addition, as the envoy of the Beiping Army, it was also necessary for Wang Kunjun to go to Yanmen and Taiyuan, which had recently been included in the jurisdiction of the Beiping Army, to make a visit, so the place where the enlarged meeting of the committee was held changed from the previous practice, and for the first time in history, it was arranged to be held in Taiyuan City, outside Beiping Mansion. And precisely because the venue of the meeting was set in Taiyuan City, and the content discussed at this meeting only involved political, military, and intelligence aspects, so departments such as the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Logistics Department did not send people to travel thousands of miles to Taiyuan City to attend the meeting after obtaining the consent of the committee.

In fact, not only the departments of commerce and trade, agriculture and other departments, but even the Ministry of Science and Technology, whose key members are in Taiyuan City, except for Li Junwu, who is a member of the committee, other people such as Zhou Lei, Yu Wende, Liu Wendong and others did not attend the meeting. On the one hand, the brothers should focus on the establishment of the Taiyuan production base - after many investigations, science and technology finally decided to build the Taiyuan production base on the Fen River, about ten miles southwest of Taiyuan City. On the other hand, everyone should also pay attention to the first operation of the first steam engine in this time and space in the laboratory of the southern area of the "Liangyuan" thousands of miles away, Shiyan - this steam engine was developed in the middle of October of the lunar calendar of the seventh year of Xiande with the strong assistance of Li Junwu, Zhou Lei, Huang Shan and other key members of the Power Department of the Ministry of Science and Technology. Therefore, when the construction of the new base has already started and the steam engine of great significance is about to be carried out for the first time, the brothers of the Ministry of Science and Technology have long been busy, and naturally they do not have the time or heart to participate in this meeting, which they do not have much say in themselves.
