On the evening of the day when Zhao Xing saw Wang Yun, he set up a banquet on the seventh floor of the drunken immortal building on the Jietian Pavilion, and invited Zhang Jian, Cai Yong, Bing Yuan, Guan Ning and other four sacrificial wines in Taihang Academy, and invited Chen Qi, his uncle and others to accompany the wine, and entertained Wang Yun very ceremoniously.

Wang Yun was sneeringly squeezed out above the court, and finally had to come to the party to wipe his ass in the court, and the anger and grievances in his heart were now dissipated with a few cups of hot soju.

After the wine was hot, Zhao Xing accompanied Wang Yun to the suspended platform of the Jietian Pavilion and looked down at the lights of the thousands of homes in Crouching Tiger City.

Wang Yun said thoughtfully: "Sometimes, I really envy the retinues under you, who can do their best to use their talents for the benefit of the people or contribute to the country, instead of gathering in the court all day long to deceive each other and calculate the gains and losses of each family. ”

Zhao Xing continued Wang Yun's words and said: "This time, the imperial court sent Lord Taishan to the north again, but I am afraid that the burden will not be light, right?"

Wang Yun nodded, glared at Zhao Xing, and said with some bitterness: "You kid don't come to pretend garlic with me, the burden is not heavy, it's not a matter of your words!"

Zhao Xing replied with a straight face: "Lord Taishan said this, but he is wrong! The victory was won by the brothers of the Crouching Tiger Army, and it was the people of the Jin State who were arrested and beheaded by the imperial court back then, and I can't ignore the feelings of the people of the Jin Kingdom and thousands of soldiers because of my personal preferences or the friendship with Lord Taishan, and I casually agreed to the conditions set by the imperial court in private!"

Wang Yun sighed helplessly and said, "I know that your kid has a clear distinction between public and private, and he will not easily let the court get back." What do you want the court to do for you, you might as well say it clearly, and I will help you analyze whether it can succeed. ”

Zhao Xing said: "The only thing I can make a clear promise now is that I can no longer send troops to attack the Sili area within a certain period of time, and of course there is a premise for this, that is, the imperial court had better not make things like the last salt ban campaign that made me angry! As for other conditions such as the release of the officers and men of the Northern Army and the repatriation of the salt workers in Yanchi, I cannot agree to it immediately." Some of the soldiers of the Northern Army were too threatening to the Jin State, and terrorists like Wei Yan had to stay in the Jin Kingdom, while the rest could be released according to the benefits given by the imperial court. ”

Wang Yun nodded, indicating that he knew Zhao Xing's bottom line of negotiation. He looked thoughtfully at the Taihang Mountains that were no longer visible in the distance, and then slowly asked the sentence that he had always wanted to ask Zhao Xing all these years: "What do you want?"

Zhao Xing was stunned by Wang Yun's somewhat profound question, but he quickly came back to his senses, and he understood what Wang Yun meant by asking "what do you want".

Zhao Xing looked up at the starry sky and replied: "What I want is a world where everyone needs to fight for survival, refusing to distinguish between high and low, and only looking at how much sweat is paid." ”

The answer given by Zhao Xing was a little beyond Wang Yun's imagination, which made him frown and think for a long time.

"What kind of territory does the world Guochang refer to?" Wang Yun asked the doubts in his heart.

"It's big, it's big, it can be said that how big the human heart is, how big the world is!" Zhao Xing answered a little incomprehensibly. He couldn't explain to Wang Yun that this planet has five continents and four oceans, and there is a solar system outside this planet, and there is a galaxy outside the solar system...... The whole world is many times bigger than the big man, so he can only answer so vaguely.

Without waiting for Wang Yun to ask again, Zhao Xing raised a question that gave Wang Yun a headache: "If you can't return to Luoyang with a satisfactory result for the imperial court this time, I don't know how Lord Taishan will deal with it?"

Wang Yun was silent for a long time, and he didn't know how to answer Zhao Xing for a while. I want to say that the people in the court can't do anything about themselves, and they obviously deceive themselves; I want to be angry and say that the old man will not do it, but I am still unwilling.

Zhao Xing didn't wait for Wang Yun to answer, so he said to himself: "Since there are so many troubles in returning to Luoyang, why should Lord Taishan go back again? I have thought of a good place for you to go, but I don't know if you want to go." ”

Wang Yun turned his head to look at Zhao Xing, quietly speechless.

Zhao Xing replied unhurriedly: "Don't tell lies in front of the Ming people, now the Jin State has actually controlled the territory of nearly six states, and the Han Dynasty has only fourteen states in total, and it seems that half of the world is about to fall into my hands." Although the prime minister of the Jin State is not as prominent as the position of the three dukes, the power does not have to be much smaller than the three dukes, Lord Taishan might as well stay in the Jin State as the state minister, and see how the son-in-law realizes the dream in his heart!"

Wang Yun suddenly smiled, he stared at Zhao Xing's eyes and asked, "Aren't you afraid that when the time comes, I will make an internal response and sell you to the imperial court?"

Zhao Xing suddenly remembered that the old man in his fifties in front of him was a fierce man who used serial schemes to kill Dong Zhuo in the history books, and he couldn't help but shudder in his heart. But after a while, he regained his confident smile, and said proudly: "The subjects of the Jin Kingdom only listen to me, and you can't kidnap them!"

Wang Yun said a sentence of heart-reproach, and Zhao Xing also replied with a sentence of heart-wrenching. So the two foxes, one old and one young, laughed out loud on the Jietian Pavilion.

Wang Yun laughed because Zhao Xing was really not an ordinary person, he saw power and responsibility very clearly, and he already had the mind and bearing to become an emperor.

Zhao Xing laughed at Wang Yun's typical scholarly character, they actually didn't care who they worked for in their bones, but more importantly, whether they could show their talents in their chests and be a celebrity through the ages.

Since Wang Yun and Zhao Xing have reached some tacit understanding, it is Liu Bei's turn to wait anxiously like an ant on a hot pot.

Waiting and waiting, Liu Bei waited for one news after another that made him dizzy. First, the "Jin Bao" reported in detail the inside story of the "Fenshui Victory", and then Zhao Xing personally came forward to meet with the representatives of the soldiers who had made meritorious contributions in the battle and awarded them the Medal of Honor. Then the news came back from the Jin State, saying that Wang Yun had committed Zhao Xing's taboo because he angrily reprimanded Zhao Xing, and was imprisoned by Zhao Xing, who had turned his face, and asked the court to reappoint negotiators to the party.

Fortunately, before the true news of the defeat of Fenshui spread all over the world, Zhang Fei had been secretly escorted to Yecheng by Liu Bei, and now he has become Zhu Jun's deputy general.

What gave Liu Bei the most headache was that Wang Yun was gone, who should he send to the Jin Kingdom to negotiate with Zhao Xing next?

If Liu Bei knew that Wang Yun was willingly left in the Jin Kingdom by Zhao Xing this time, and he was ready to resign and return to the north, I was afraid that he would even regret his intestines.

Everyone treats Wang Yun as an old scalper, but they don't know that Wang Yun is a real master, even if he is between the court and Zhao Xing, he can still end up with a very good end in the end.

On the other hand, many ministers in the court who are content with the status quo and do not want to make progress always think that they can sit back and enjoy their achievements by virtue of their qualifications and family background, but in fact, they are just a group of moths in Zhao Xing's eyes, and sooner or later they will be trampled under their feet, and they may have to spit in the end!
