Chapter 58: Deceit
Why does Zhao Di have to reach a cooperative alliance with Shang Xuan, is that he knows that he is in a weak position, Li Gang has always been in the dominant position between him and Li Gang, so he must find an opponent stronger than Li Gang to balance Li Gang, so that he can have room to operate, and he can be left and right between the two.
If it weren't for the balance of Li Gang, Zhao Di wouldn't have to accept the test of Shang at all, although it was difficult to loot Taixing Stone, but it was not impossible to succeed with Zhao Di's means, but once this plunder plan was successful, Liang Shanjun would probably face the constraints of the big merchants everywhere in the future.
Dragging Shang Xuan into the water was something that Zhao Di had already planned, which not only greatly helped his plan to loot Taixing Stone, but also made a thorough improvement to his current situation.
Shang Xuan is a key part of Zhao Di's future plan, and at this time, Zhao Di's biggest purpose of coming to Minxing can be regarded as truly achieved.
Shang Xuan has been completely dragged into the water by him, not to mention Wen Zhong and them at this time, even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu comes, I am afraid it will be difficult to stop Shang Xuan's ambitions.
Wen Zhong and the others, who were listening to Zhao Di's plan, were also really shocked by Zhao Di's ingenious methods, and they all became dumbfounded.
If it was Zhao Di's previous means of dealing with the test of Shang that everyone was amazed, then the series of actions planned by Zhao Di for Shang at this time really shocked them, and at the same time, they were deeply worried about Shang Xun, because Shang Di's cooperation object was too terrible.
The depth of the plan can be said to be step by step, if outsiders can't understand his true intentions, they can't see through his behavior at all, and cooperating with this kind of person will inevitably make people worry.
Shang Xuan is actually not stupid, of course he knows that Zhao Di is dangerous, but he also has his own self-confidence, his self-confidence comes from strength, he is confident that he can win in the face of any opponent, not to mention that Zhao Di is a person in the same boat after cooperating with himself, he will never believe that a smart person like Zhao Di will do something to betray himself.
As long as Zhao Di does not betray himself, even if the two become opponents in the future, Shang Xun is also confident that he will defeat Zhao Di head-on on the battlefield.
In Shang Xun's opinion, the conspiracy and trickery Zhao Di is indeed very powerful, but once he meets a real strong person, all the intrigues and tricks can only become a bubble, and in the face of absolute strength, the conspiracy is just a joke.
Therefore, Shang Xun is not afraid of Zhao Di, he just needs Zhao Di's brain to plan the unspeakable thing for himself now.
Zhao Di bowed his hand to Shang Xuan and said: "The prince is polite, Di is also planning that glimmer of opportunity for himself." In fact, in the future, I may still have to rely on the help of the prince. ”
Shang Xun laughed and said boldly: "Your brother doesn't need to be polite. ”
At this point, the alliance between Zhao Di and Shang Xuan was officially established.
Wen Zhong and the others also knew that the cooperation between Shang Xuan and Zhao Di seemed to be unstoppable, and they bowed their heads and said to Shang Xuan in unison: "I am willing to die for the prince!"
When Shang Xuan saw Wen Zhong's statement, he suddenly became more and more happy, and directly pushed the table up, and personally helped Wen Zhong's henchmen up one by one, patted them on the shoulder and said, "Good brother, this king knows that you will not disappoint this king." If it can really be done in the future, this king will definitely not forget his brothers. ”
Obviously, Shang Xun's means of winning people's hearts are also extraordinary, and a few words inspired Wen Zhong and the others to be excited.
Zhao Di watched coldly, returned to his seat and sipped his drink, quietly watching the show of loyalty between the other party's monarchs and ministers.
It was another banquet for the guests and hosts, Zhao Di left the palace with a little drunk on his face, Shang Xuan and Zhao Di walked arm in arm, personally sent Zhao Di out of the palace, watching Zhao Di's oxen carriage leave, it can be said that he really regarded Zhao Di as his friend of the same status.
However, Zhao Di didn't take this kind of treatment to heart, all of this was earned by his own strength, Zhao Di would not be fooled by this little trick of business.
After Zhao Di left, Shang Xun waved his hand and beckoned the manager and said directly: "Deal with all the subordinates at the banquet, and not leave one by one, and all those who have had contact with the subordinates during the banquet will also be executed." After the order, he turned around and left and went to the study.
Wen Zhong and a few people in the study were already waiting there, but the business at this time was completely different from the people at the banquet, his expression was very solemn at this time, and after entering the study, he sat directly on the main seat, and said, "What do you think?"
The space in the study is very large, and there are enough seats for Wen Zhong and them to use, at this time, Wen Zhong and the others seem to be much more casual than at the banquet, Wen Zhong's expression is also very solemn, and he pondered for a while before he spoke: "The prince is right, this person is indeed a powerful poisoner, and the plans that come out of his mouth are really amazing." But it is precisely like this, so the subordinates feel that this person's words are not credible, he said before that he has subdued Li Gang, so his subordinates will never believe it, on the contrary, the subordinates feel that he is very likely to be controlled by Li Gang and become a chess piece in Li Gang's hands. ”
Shang Xun nodded slightly and said: "Yes, this king also thinks so, so he came to find this king to cooperate, in fact, he is looking for a backer who can compete with Li Gang, only in this way can he get rid of Li Gang's control." ”
Wen Zhong's subordinate person nodded and said: "Yes, this person has unparalleled scheming, if it weren't for his involuntariness, how could he be willing to be at the mercy of others, and even have a Li Gang's spy by his side." ”
Zhao Di went to the banquet palace, and Di Qing also followed, but was rejected by the merchants.
Obviously, everything at the banquet was just a show, Shang Xuan and his henchmen were deliberately testing Zhao Di, after all, Zhao Di's thunderous action against Su Wangfu was too ruthless, and such a character suddenly came to the door inexplicably to plan such a big thing, and it was impossible for Shang Di to deal with it carelessly.
Shang Xuan and the others just wanted to explore the details of Zhao Di and see what Zhao Di's purpose was.
However, this temptation was somewhat unexpected by them, Zhao Di's plan was very detailed, even the plan was thorough and detailed, and the hope of success was great, all of which was beyond their imagination.
Of course, Shang Xun and his own group of henchmen have all kinds of dissatisfaction with the imperial court in their hearts, and after getting Zhao Di's plan, if they are not moved, it is fake.
It is precisely because of the heart that the atmosphere in the study is so solemn.
After all, this is a major event that can really decide the fate of everyone in the room, and the risks to be taken are clearer than anyone else.
Since Zhao Di has planned the plan to such an extent, then they have determined that Zhao Di is not a spy and secret agent, and then it is time for them to really make a decision.
