Chapter 191: Battle of the Divine Objects
Belch!
Xu Dian was really dumbfounded this time, he didn't expect Zhao Di to dig himself up and join his disciples in front of him.
At this time, Xu Dian stared at Zhao Di's face seriously, as if he wanted to see through Zhao Di's true intentions, but unfortunately he couldn't tell any truth from Zhao Di's face at all.
After a long time, he could only arch his hand and say: "Thank you for the prince's attention, but if Xu really turns to the prince's disciple, I'm afraid the prince won't be able to tolerate me betraying the lord and seeking glory, right?"
Zhao Di didn't wait for Xu Dian to continue, and directly waved his hand to stop: "No, if Mr. Xu is really willing to switch to this king's disciple, this king is willing to give up Zhao Di's title of king, and is more willing to give up the position of the city lord of Tianwei City, in exchange for Mr., I believe that this is a good deal Zhao Zhen must be willing to do, and Mr. may as well explain it directly to Zhao Zhen when he goes back." ”
After a pause after saying this, Zhao Di said again: "I believe that Mr. is not an indispensable existence under Zhao Zhen, at most, it is only a critical moment to ask and plan, it is difficult to have any real power in his hands, if Mr. turns to the king's door, this king can entrust the power of the palace to Mr., as long as it is involved in the court dispute, it is all up to Mr. to decide, how about it?"
Xu Dian never expected Zhao Di to say such a thing with a serious expression, looking at Zhao Di's expression, it was absolutely serious, and he couldn't be more serious.
For a while, Xu Dian was really moved.
Although he is a chief staff member in King An's Mansion, there is also a Peng Huaicai in King An's Mansion after all, although this person is not intelligent, but he is deeply trusted by King An, often as long as he speaks, even his opinion will inevitably be denied, so his position seems to be infinitely beautiful, but in fact, only he can know whether he is warm or cold.
If Zhao Di can really entrust the power of the Di Wangfu to him, even if the matter of the court dispute is decided by him, it is also a party with great power, which is far more comfortable than living in the Anwang Mansion, after all, as the saying goes, a husband cannot be without power for a day.
Xu Dian seems to have an indisputable temperament, that is because he knows in his heart that he can't compete with Peng Huaicai in King An's mansion.
Why did Zhao Di suddenly have the idea of recruiting Xu Dian, it was because he knew that what he was currently lacking in the palace was such a person, and the operation of the entire palace was actually completely tied to him, especially when it came to the battle in the court, there was no one available in his hands, and he himself was only half a bucket of water, if there was a person like Xu Dian by his side, he could completely withdraw from it.
Zhao Di didn't pay much attention to the matter of the court dispute, which is why he has not personally sat in Bianjing, in his opinion, Wen Yanbo's group of people is just a pile of dry bones in the grave, as long as his layout is completed, with the momentum of Mount Tai pressing the top, these stumbling blocks will inevitably collapse.
However, now that Zhao Di has not achieved success, Wen Yanbo and his gang are constantly harassing, often distracting him and unable to do his own thing wholeheartedly, this kind of trivial matter is really boring to him, especially when he is often interrupted in his cultivation, which makes him even more headache.
If Xu Dian is here, he will definitely be able to help him block most of the disturbances from the court, no matter whether the result is good or bad, he only needs to strike a blow at the critical moment.
In other words, Zhao Di didn't pay much attention to Xu Dian, he just needed someone to help him resist trivial matters from the court.
However, Zhao Di's conditions were so tempting that Xu Dian's heart was so tempting that it was difficult to make a decision for a while.
Zhao Di saw that the other party was moved, he was even more happy, he smiled and stepped forward to pat Xu Dian's shoulder and said: "Mr. Xu can think about it slowly, this king will do what he says, he was serious before, and Mr. don't worry, even if you come to my house to stay uncomfortable, you can leave on your own, and after this incident, everyone knows that Mr. is worth a throne and a Tianwei City lord, even if he leaves, there will be other nobles to solicit, and even his value will skyrocket." ”
Zhao Di's last words directly crushed the last struggle in Xu Dian's heart, he suddenly became extremely calm, shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Although I don't know whether the prince is true or false, but the conditions given by the prince really moved Dian's heart, Dian can ask, why is the prince so generous?"
Zhao Di laughed and said: "This king has always used people without suspicion, everything depends on the eye, this king thinks you are worth this price, then you are worth this price." ”
It is difficult for Zhao Di to convince Xu Dian of this, but as Zhao Di said, but this matter is true or false, as long as the news spreads and he has promoted the alliance between Zhao Di and Zhao Zhen, then his worth will inevitably skyrocket, which is definitely a great benefit for a scholar like him.
Therefore, it seems that he is not at a loss in this matter.
Although he didn't know Zhao Di's true intentions, Xu Dian decided to take a gamble because the conditions given by Zhao Di were too tempting.
The most important thing is that as long as he operates this matter properly, his reputation as a betrayal can be washed away, after all, the final decision on this matter is in the hands of Zhao Zhen, he only needs to tell the truth when he goes back, and then hand over the decision to Zhao Zhen, then the rest only needs to wait for the result, he believes that Zhao Zhen will never be able to give up this temptation.
You must know that it is the position of the city lord of Tianwei City, as long as he controls this position, Zhao Zhen's voice in the court will inevitably increase greatly, which can be regarded as his indelible contribution to Zhao Zhen, the old lord, and it can be regarded as worthy of the other party's favor over the years.
After making a decision in his heart, Xu Dian no longer hesitated, and directly proposed his resignation to Zhao Di, and Zhao Di also became very cordial and personally sent Xu Dian and a group of people out of the mansion.
In Bianjing City, the Imperial Palace, and the Privy Council, Wen Yanbo, Han Qi, Fu Bi, Sima Guang, and Wang Anshi sat upright, frowning and drinking tea silently.
Obviously, this is the first meeting of the five after receiving Fan Wenzheng's apprenticeship, and no one has the intention of speaking first.
In the end, Wen Yanbo coughed lightly and said first: "What do you think should be the next step?" ”
Sima Guang looked left and right, and saw that everyone didn't mean to speak, so he had to speak: "Why don't I go?"
Sima Guang is the mainstay of the younger generation of historians, although he is not cultivating Confucianism and righteousness, but a Spring and Autumn Pen in his hand, once it is displayed with the same power, he will definitely not lose much than Fan Wenzheng's Haoran Righteousness Recipe in real battle.
Wen Yanbo shook his head slightly and said: "Relying on force alone to blindly suppress it is a bit inferior. ”
Wang Anshi is also a leader of the younger generation, especially in this year's economic reform of the Great Song Dynasty, which has been able to prosper so far in less than ten years, which is absolutely indispensable.
However, this person is famous for his stubbornness, and when he heard Wen Yanbo's words, he said with a disapproving face: "Why can't you suppress it by force, you have to let him understand that even if he is a royal clansman, he can't do whatever he wants, and he must be suppressed with the overwhelming force of Mount Tai, this time I will go with Junshi." ”
