Chapter 513: Seeing People and Talking to People

Never reach out and never hit a smiling person. Wang Bengu saw that his needle tip was against Mai Mang's posture, but Yan Hong was all polite, but it was not easy to stalemate, coughed, and sat down with his sleeves brushed.

Yan Hong arched his hand and said: "The prince is honest and honest, I have always admired him very much. I am not satisfied with you for saying that this time I am in favor of recruiting An Wang Zhi, and even opening the sea ban, and engaging in business. I don't know if the prince will capture Wang Zhi, but what does he want? ”

Wang Bengu said: "Why does Yan Xiqing ask knowingly? Wang Zhi is 10,000 evil widows, with a lot of blood debts, and the coastal people hate to sleep and eat meat. Now that I have taken it, of course, it is a cut in two. ”

Yan Hong nodded and said, "That Wang Zhi is indeed a serious crime. It's just that the heavenly family is not endless, if he can change the evil and follow the good, but he can also add a capable person to my Ming Dynasty. Paying equal attention to suppression and appeasement is the way to eradicate the plague, what does Master Wang think? ”

Wang Bengu said: "It is indeed feasible to recruit peace and self-reform, but it has to be divided." Coercing the majority, it can be appeased, if the first evil giant is let go, where is the law of the court? ”

Yan Hong said: "However, pardoning this one person can serve the hearts of thousands of people and calm the troubles, but it is also beneficial to the country and the people." ”

Wang Bengu said: "Yan Xiqing's words are wrong. Wang Zhi was a Kou for more than ten years, and the imperial court also granted him the post of a hundred households, but he rebelled, and even colluded with the Buddha Lang and the Japanese people, entrenched in Shuangyu. After the Shuangyu Kou Party was exterminated, Wang Zhi escaped the punishment of heaven, and even recruited his minions, leading tens of thousands of thieves to harass the southeast for many years, and all provinces were harmed by it. If you give this thief into my snare today, how can you not get rid of the harm in one fell swoop? ”

Yan Hongxin said, God you are a hairy gift, obviously Lao Tzu and Hu Zongxian recruited him to get him up, you will be humble for me. On the surface, he still said quietly: "Wang Zhi should be killed." It's not hard to kill him. But after killing him. I'm afraid it's a resurgence of rebellion. Revenge burns the coast. Moreover, the Heavenly Family intends to open the sea, but to open the sea, it must be recruited to be straightforward. If Wang Zhi is willing to submit to obedience and the sea is quiet, then my Ming Dynasty can trade with foreign countries, and I can also earn a lot of silver taels, making the people rich and the country strong. ”

Wang Bengu said: "Yan Xiqing is wrong again. If you don't kill Wang Zhi this time, who can guarantee that he won't rebel in the future? When the time comes, it will only hurt the prestige of the imperial court. It is even more arrogant to the thief. And this time, Wang Zhi intended to spy on the military situation and lead the Japanese to sack Zhejiang, and the evidence of the crime is conclusive. Yan Xiqing also has to defend him, beware of the discussion between the court and the middle, and hurt the name of Yan Ge. Moreover, when it comes to the matter of opening the sea and trade, the lower official asked, Yan Xiqing, how many silver taels do you eat a day? ”

Yan Hong was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "I also have a meal of hundreds of taels of silver at home, and I heard that there is a meal fee for a rich businessman in Jiangnan." It's a lot of money, but it's more magnificent than me. As for the savings. The four dishes and one soup on Chun'anhai's pen stand, I don't see that I can eat a penny of silver. ”

Wang Bengu shook his head and said: "What I asked was not how much Yan Xiqing's meal was worth, but how much silver Yan Xiqing had to chew and eat in his stomach?" ”

Yan Hong said dumbly: "I'm not an iron-mouthed copper tooth, do I really want to chew the silver tael and swallow it?" ”

Wang Bengu said: "Shine." Silver and two should not be hungry and cold, and the livelihood of hundreds of millions of people in my Ming Dynasty will still fall on the grain after all. Even if you can earn money, you can only buy some strange and indecent Western gadgets, but you will seduce the people and produce barrenly. When there is a shortage of corn in the country, even if the silver is piled up, how can it avoid chaos in the world? And the Western goods have entered, and those evil crooked ways have also entered, for fear of messing up my Ming people's customs, and the legacy will be endless. Those who go to the sea to trade without permission often become widows, which is a lesson from the past. Yan Xiqing, your Yan Mansion is the first important minister of the Ming Dynasty, and the interests and disadvantages of this must be carefully considered for the country. ”

When Yan Hong saw Wang Bengu's words, he said it sincerely, knowing that this person was the kind of old-fashioned school full of feudal retreat thoughts. If you want to persuade him to agree with the opening of the sea from an economic point of view, you are not able to do that. In that case, don't waste your energy and tongue on your own. The only priority at the moment is to prevent Wang Bengu from killing Wang Zhi in prison. In this case, I have to take advantage of the situation to hold this clear stream.

Immediately, Yan Hong deliberately pondered for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Wang pointed to this, but it is also reasonable, and he teaches him." It's just that I have already said in front of the Heavenly Family that Wang Zhi will be able to recruit An, and the Heavenly Family has mentioned me as a fourth-grade title, and even given the king's order flag, all for this reason. If Wang Zhi is beheaded like this, then not only will I suffer a lot of guilt in front of the heavenly family, but I will also be the face of my grandfather and father, but how to place it? Hey, Wang pointed out, we are officials in the same dynasty, but we have to bother you to plan for me, and my subordinates will be merciful. ”

Wang Bengu didn't want Yan Hong to admit his point of view so easily, it turned out that he was afraid that he would lose face in front of the emperor and affect his future as an official. This is also in line with the characteristics of the adulterous grandson. If you follow Wang Bengu's heart, the more unlucky your Yan Mansion is, the happier I am. It can be seen that the Jiangnan anti-Japanese war is a critical moment, but it is not easy to offend Yan Hong too much.

Therefore, Wang Bengu smiled slightly and said: "Yan Xiqing, you are smart for a lifetime, and you have been confused for a while. The previous Wang Zhi showed favor to the court, claiming that he had the intention of returning to obedience, and the saint was constantly on the road of self-reform. Now this Wang Zhi harbors evil intentions, thanks to you, Yan Xiqing, and the lower officials found out together, so they immediately made a decision to take down Wang Zhi in order to thwart the conspiracy of the Japanese Invaders, which is obviously a great achievement, and it is also glorious on the faces of Yan Ge Lao and Xiao Ge Lao. ”

When Yan Hong heard this, he suddenly realized: "Oh, I'm really confused, confused!" Wang pointed out, what you said is really clever! Besides, seeing that this Jiangnan Japanese is about to move, I think that I will inevitably send troops to land and burn and kill. Hehe, they don't know that I, Yan, have already recruited the Buddha Yi in the trench realm, and now the ship is strong and the cannons are sharp, and they are waiting to attack these dragons and leaderless robbers! If I don't fight, how can I make war achievements? If I don't fight, how can I get paid? If I don't fight, how can I earn fame? Wang pointed out, with your guidance, Yan will rectify the coastal army and civilians, and fight to the death with the Japanese coguit! He will be crowned a prince and a marquis, all thanks to the advice of your prince! ”

Wang Bengu listened to Yan Hong's start YY, and his heart was also happy. Thinking about it, Yan Hong was originally a messenger who inspected military affairs, he had no hair on his mouth, he couldn't handle things well, he slipped his mouth, and he came to the war together, and he consumed the most money. The Yan family is greedy, and as soon as the war starts, he will inevitably get his hands on it and fill his pockets. This is really in line with Yan Hong's own interests.

Wang Bengu chose Hu Zongxian to bite this time, although he did it out of some of his own political disagreements, thinking that recruiting Wang Zhi was destroying the national system. On the other hand, it is also because Hu Zongxian is now beautiful on the surface, but he is actually an empty shell. Most of the governors of the two capitals and thirteen provinces have their own political factions, but what about Hu Zongxian? His identity is more embarrassing, saying that he is a strict party, this has to be reluctantly promoted, and Zhao Wenhua, who is a link, is also dead, saying that he is a bit of a bad party; said that he was Xu Dang, and Xu Jie would not admit it. Therefore, Hu Zongxian belongs to no one in the court, he is a persimmon who is easy to pinch, and he has the righteous name of killing the Japanese invaders.

Now, if he can form a temporary united front with Yan Hong, then Hu Zongxian is alone, and he will definitely be defeated. Listening to Yan Hong's tone, he had been persuaded by himself to want to fight the Japanese in the southeast. After this battle, if he wins a big victory, then he will see through Wang Zhi's deception, capture the thief first, and cut off the conspiracy of internal and external collusion between the thieves, then he will really make a great contribution and become a great name.

As for defeated? The responsibility for the use of soldiers also has to be borne on the heads of Yan Hong and Hu Zongxian. And since Yan Hong said that he was going to be greedy for the salary of the Mo army, he really wanted to lose the battle, so he turned his face again, grabbed this matter, and lost the face of the Yan family. At that time, even cracking the double case, in the clear stream, he will not be able to run away.

Thinking of this, the corners of Wang Bengu's mouth were even more smiling, and he praised: "Yan Xiqing has this great plan, and he will definitely be able to win." ”

Yan Hong said: "However, this matter has to be discussed with Wang Zhizhi." I want to go to the court with Wang Zhizhi in a joint name, saying that Wang Zhi harbors evil intentions and falsely claims the absurdity of surrender, please behead Wang Zhi in the downtown area, and distribute food, soldiers and horses, and kill the Japanese invaders. In this way, the heavenly family knows that I am playing, and they will not care about the matter of recruiting peace compared to my previous advocacy. ”

Wang pointed out that when he heard Yan Hong's words, he wanted to play a joint performance with himself, so as to clear up the trouble of speaking to the Japanese Kou before, and he couldn't ask for it at the moment. As soon as this performance was made, Yan Hong made his position clear, and he was not afraid that he would make a hindrance. He immediately laughed and said, "Xiqing's words are very kind. In this way, the two of us will jointly go to the Jingshi, please behead Wang Zhi. ”

Yan Hong said again: "There is one more thing. Hu Dashuai, as the governor of Zhejiang and Zhejiang, had better be signed by him on the fold, and the weight was sufficient. ”

When Wang Bengu heard this, he frowned and said: "Hu Meilin is cowardly, he doesn't dare to fight with the Japanese Kou, and he is bent on recruiting An Wang Zhi, how can he agree to sign it?" Isn't Yan Gongzi playing tricks on me? ”

Yan Hong smiled: "Definitely." As the so-called time and time, that Hu Dashuai was indeed cowardly, and he was bent on seeking peace that day, and I also listened to his words, so I made a plan to recruit An Wang Zhi in front of the heavenly family. It's just that now that the situation has changed, the salt merchants, tea merchants, machine households, scholars, and gentry are all bent on fighting, and Hu Dashuai is actually in a hurry, how dare he risk the world's disapproval? Now that the princes in the officialdom of Zhejiang are bent on begging for thieves for the country, how can I, Yan Hong, watch him Hu Dashuai go against the people of the whole officialdom alone? Before I came, I probed his tone, but in fact, I was already hesitant, and I didn't know where to kill and release. Today, the prince and I, Yan, have reached an agreement, why should Hu Dashuai go against the trend? It's just that he is the governor of Zhejiang, and he always wants face, so let's set up a banquet tonight, I will be a middle-aged person, and solve the fight for your two families, from now on, the three of us will work together to break the thieves, how about Wang Zhizhi? ”

Wang Bengu listened to the other party's explanation and felt that it made sense. Changing places, I definitely can't withstand the pressure of such a big place and insist on going my own way. What's more, he got the news that in the name of recruiting An, the Japanese invaders were actually plundering and were about to invade the southeast. As soon as this soldier opened, coupled with Yan Hong standing on his side, how dare this Hu Zongxian continue to help Wang Zhi exonerate? (To be continued......)
