Chapter 118: Fair Words
Ning Ze continued: "The Jiang family's family affairs have nothing to do with me, in fact, I am not very happy to interfere. But since several elders have asked me to speak fairly, then I naturally have something to say. I have met with all of you before this, and the purpose of your invitation to me is like a mirror in my heart. But I'm not going to get involved, and I'm not going to let my beak go lightly. But I have to say, Mr. Jiang is still here, but your sons are fighting to the death for some interests, and there are uncles and brothers who support your sons, do you think that with such a mentality, you can really take over the Jiang family and make the Jiang family more brilliant?"
As soon as these words came out, the Jiang family looked at each other, and they were even more ashamed.
Of course, there are also unconvinced people who stand up and say: "As far as I know, today's disputes are all because some people deliberately instigated and stirred up each other's emotions, not the original intention of the sons." ”
"In that case, can a few sons have the behavior of suppressing the conflict between supporters?" Ning Ze asked.
The man was speechless.
"Furthermore, can you find the person who instigated it and present the evidence to the table to settle the dispute?"
With two questions in a row, the Jiang family at the scene was dumb again.
"Master Ning's words are reasonable! Really fair!" The Great Elder said in his heart that he had found the right person, although this person was young, he had extraordinary knowledge, and the most important thing was to be fair, so he asked, "I wonder who the military advisor thinks can take on the heavy responsibility after observing these days?"
"Do you really want me to say it?"
"Please give me some advice, and I'll make a reference!" replied the Great Elder.
"I do have a choice in mind, and it feels like a good fit. Of course, this is just an outsider's opinion, and you should decide for yourself after hearing it. Ning Ze said.
At the scene, the Jiang family immediately became nervous and stared at Ning Ze intently.
"Who is the advisor's favorite?" the Grand Elder asked.
Ning Ze glanced at the crowd at the scene, and said slowly: "I feel that this patriarch's position is very important, even if he doesn't have the temperament and talent like Mr. Jiang, at least it must be somewhat similar, and the most important point is fairness and integrity! Do you think that makes sense?"
Everyone nodded, including the few who had raised objections before.
"Character is the most important thing, and then is ability! No matter how good the ability is, if you have selfish thoughts, how can you manage the huge family and let everyone be treated fairly? Isn't the election of the patriarch just to make the whole family go to a higher level and everyone can live a good life?"
The crowd nodded again.
"In the past few days, this military division has been in contact with your sons, and I also have some understanding of your temperament. One of the sons, while others were fighting for their own interests, had been working in silence and had never been involved. There are no gangs and factions, and they are not moved by fame and fortune. This kind of serious work, dedicated to the family, in the next party is the best candidate!"
"Who the hell is the advisor talking about?" someone couldn't help but ask loudly.
Everyone else also stared at Ning Ze, and the sons who had visited Ning Ze kept praying in their hearts, hoping that their names would appear.
Ning Ze looked around and slowly spit out two words: "Jiang Meng!"
"Wow~" The scene exploded all of a sudden, after all, Jiang Meng was the one who was not optimistic about anyone, and he couldn't get his turn in their hearts, so no one supported him at all, and no one even noticed him. They all thought that Ning Ze was talking about one of the people they supported.
Jiang Meng, who was the party concerned, actually didn't expect that he was the poorest of all his brothers. Neither can give gifts to Ning Ze, nor can he invite him to eat good things, that is, his wife goes to the field to pick some wild vegetables, go to the creek to catch some fish and shrimp, clear soup and light rice.
Therefore, he thought that he had heard it wrong, and looked at Ning Ze in disbelief.
The rest of the Jiang family also looked at Jiang Meng, with disbelief, disdain, and incomprehension in their eyes......
Several elders' eyes also fell on Jiang Meng, and they exchanged their heads and discussed softly with each other.
Jiang Meng is not involved in any faction, and he is indeed not idle these days. The main thing is that no one thought of letting him take over as the patriarch, after all, there are so many excellent brothers above, no matter how you say it, it will not be his turn.
Facing everyone's gaze, Jiang Meng felt pressured, especially the eyes of his brothers, which made him even more frightened and overwhelmed.
Ning Ze walked over, asked him to get up and face everyone, and continued: "These days, only Jiang Meng is the most humble. He has a good character, and he is hardworking and conscientious. The most important thing is not to have disputes with others, to value harmony in everything, and to value family affection in particular. The current chaos of the Jiang family is precisely because of the conflict of interests, which throws family affection aside. Therefore, Jiang Meng is the most suitable candidate. With him, I believe that the Jiang family can be calmed down, and everyone will work together to create common interests, so that the whole family will be strong, rather than just a few people benefiting!"
"But Jiang Mengcai is average, and there are countless people who are better than him!" someone stood up and objected.
"I don't deny this, the Jiang family is full of talents, and Jiang Meng is really not ranked. Ning Ze nodded, "But everyone is focused on how to fight for power and profit, and no one thinks about the interests of the family, but this situation is the most suitable for Jiang Meng, who is relatively modest, to solve the problem." This is a superficial view of an outsider, and it is also a proposal from the bottom of my heart. Of course, the fate of the Jiang family is still in your own hands, and you don't necessarily have to agree with your opinions. ”
After several elders discussed, they felt that Ning Ze's words were very fair, and at the moment, it was indeed necessary to aim for family unity, and it could not be torn apart because of the struggle for power and profit. After thinking about it carefully, I really think that Jiang Meng is the most suitable child.
And most importantly, he has no factions. Most of the other sons are supported by the faction, and choosing any one of them is the current faction's share of the benefits, and the others will definitely suffer. In this case, because of the distribution of interests, the whole family will be more torn and chaotic. On the contrary, it was Jiang Meng who came to power, just to calm down this problem.
At the same time, the factions do not have to worry about the uneven distribution of benefits, anyway, there is a neutral patriarch who can discuss everything and ensure that it does not treat either side badly.
Thinking of this, several elders made a decision in their hearts.
The Great Elder stood up and said, "Master Ning is indeed fair, Jiang Meng has outstanding character, although his ability is mediocre, he is the most needed family member at this moment. After discussing with a few other elders, I think it is feasible! If Jiang Meng is allowed to take the throne, I will definitely give it my full support!"
After the elders spoke, the Jiang family, who had not chosen a faction, expressed their support for this decision.
Many people who had factions before felt that it made sense after listening to it, and they all expressed their support for Jiang Meng's ascension.
In fact, the most important reason is that Ning Ze supports him.
Now that Liu Yuanxiang occupies the six counties of Jinzhou, Ning Ze is also rising as her military advisor, not to mention that these cities were all brought down by him, and there are strong troops stationed next to them.
It is equivalent to Jiang Meng getting Ning Ze's support, and several elders do not object, which is basically a foregone conclusion.
However, there are also unwilling, but they can't find a reason to oppose it, and they feel very uncomfortable.
Ning Ze saw it in his eyes and continued: "In fact, the Jiang family is full of talents, and all the sons have their own strengths, so you can look at the world, instead of just seeing the small fish pond in Jujun. Fang Today, Zhou Jie and Lu Chong coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and Emperor Shun and Emperor Wen competed with each other. And the princes of the world are also constantly in disputes, and people of insight know that the country's fortunes have failed. Emperor Shun was made by Zhou Kui, Emperor Wen was made by Lu Cong, and the royal prestige of Dacheng was no longer there. Although my lord Liu Yuanxiang is a woman, she also has the heart to support Dacheng. No matter whether Emperor Shun or Emperor Wen wins the world in the future, as sisters and brothers, they can work together to restore my orthodoxy. You sons have only learned people, you might as well return to Huajun with me, and the lord will definitely reuse it. Now that the lord has the six counties of Jinzhou, and there is a shortage of talented people under him, you can all be reused, and any of the six counties of Jinzhou can be selected as an official as a general, which will be effective for me and benefit the people. In the future, the chaos in Dacheng will be calmed down, and you can't be a marquis and worship the prime minister, so why make brothers kill each other for petty profits?"
didn't expect Ning Ze to suddenly say this, and the Jiang family at the scene were all stunned.
The Great Elder hesitated for a moment and said, "Master Ning, Jiang Zhong has already written to Emperor Shun......"
"Now that Zhou Hydra and Lu Cong are evenly matched, and the princes of the world are uncertain, who is orthodox between Emperor Shun and Emperor Wen?" The Jiang family is throwing themselves to Emperor Shun at this moment, if Lu Chong defeats Zhou Hydroxy, Emperor Wen is powerful, won't it cause the disaster of killing?" Ning Ze squinted and said.
When the people heard this, they were frightened and turned their heads to each other.
The Great Elder thought about it carefully, and he was also scared into a cold sweat: "Military Master, according to your opinion......"
"Even if you have submitted a letter, this matter is in danger!" Ning Ze said to him after thinking about it, "But there is also a turnaround." Our lord Liu Yuanxiang and Emperor Shun and Emperor Wen are imperial relatives. Moreover, the seven counties of Jinzhou are one, not to mention that the two counties are allies? With the protection of my lord, whether Emperor Shun or Emperor Wen win the world in the future, they must take into account the feelings of their sisters and brothers, and naturally they will not embarrass the Jiang family or Jujun. I am equal to the same breath, Jinzhou is solid, and we can help each other, and we can also prevent other princes from reaching into Jinzhou. ”
"That makes sense!" the Great Elder nodded immediately, "If the seven counties of Jinzhou are monolithic, they can be fearless of the princes of the world. ”
"It's just that on the battlefield of the Jiang family and the Tuluhe Lu family before, they were attacked by Yang Ran's strategy, so that they became enemies. The Lu family has taken refuge in our lord, not to mention that this matter also started because of Yang Ran, and it is not the fault of both parties. I hope that the Jiang and Lu families can put aside their hatred and work together. Just like the Jiang family's events today, how can the family resist foreign enemies when there is chaos in the family?"
In fact, the Jiang family insisted on revenge only the descendants of Jiang Zhong and Jiang Yong, after all, it was their closest people who died. The rest of the Jiang family is relatively not so extreme, and most of them still look at interests.
What Ning Ze said today was very fair, and most of the Jiang family members had a good impression of him.
Secondly, Ning Ze gave those unwilling concubines a chance, even if they couldn't be the patriarch, they could get ahead.
Of the seven counties of Jinzhou, six counties are in the hands of Liu Yuanxiang. According to what Ning Ze said, no matter whether Emperor Shun or Emperor Wen gets the world in the future, Liu Yuanxiang, as the imperial sister, she and her subordinates don't have to worry, and it is no problem to keep the land of Jinzhou in the future. After all, with the current situation of Dacheng, if you want the country to be stable, it is particularly important to win Liu Yuanxiang of Jinzhou.
And the most important point is that the other party in the seven counties of Jinzhou has six of them, if she is an enemy, Ning Ze will directly send troops over, and Jujun will not be able to stop it.
