Chapter 63: Reverse Buyout
Under the lights, two figures savored tea.
"What does Gong Wen think of Xiao Wang?" Miao Gongzi asked softly.
"I wonder what Your Highness is talking about?"
Miao Gongzi grinned, looked at him and said, "All aspects! ”
Hiss –
Wen Chen took a deep breath, "Your Highness has seen some of His Highness's deeds from the file before, but he has never dealt with His Highness, if there is any deviation in the evaluation, please forgive Your Highness!" ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"
"His Royal Highness learned literature at the age of three, practiced martial arts at the age of five, under the protection of the prince, it was considered to be a small urine and received the education of superior people, coupled with talent and intelligence, it is said that when he was eight years old, a song 'Yongque' skills shocked the four, this poem was transmitted to Shangjing, the first emperor was moved by it, and praised His Royal Highness for having the ambition of the next class in the world!"
When Miao Gongzi heard this, he bowed his head slightly, looking very useful.
"At the age of twelve, His Royal Highness led 800 elite soldiers to Nanxi Mountain to level the bandits, and in just three days, he killed more than 1,500 bandits in Nanxi Mountain, which was praised by the local people, and it can be seen that His Highness's strategy for using troops is also excellent!" Wen Chen continued.
"It's just a gangster, just a rabble, and it's not worth praising to win more with less." Miao Gongzi smiled and waved his hand.
"That's what I said, but after His Royal Highness pacified the bandits, he actually returned all the confiscated property to the local people, and he was so aware at a young age, which is really admirable!"
Miao Gongzi picked up the teapot and poured tea for Wen Chen, "Gong Wen still said the point, this is not what this king wants to hear." ”
Wen Chen nodded, "Then the lower official is welcome." ”
"Although the little prince is proficient in all kinds of martial arts and is deeply valued by the prince, if he wants to achieve a career in the future, there are two major stumbling blocks!"
"Tell me about it." Miao Gongzi's smile retracted.
"First, being in a high position, I hear too many words that are pleasing to my ears, so that I can do things as I want and do not know how to restrain, which is a big taboo for those who are in charge!"
"I heard that His Royal Highness likes poetry, calligraphy and painting on weekdays, and has a close personal relationship with many Nanqi literati at the border of Yuzhou, although culture has no borders, but Dasheng and Nanqi have been hostile in the past hundred years, although His Royal Highness only appreciates the literary brilliance of others, but in case this matter is used by people with a heart to make a fuss, it is not good!"
"If Your Highness wants to go one step further, this kind of thing must be stopped."
"Hmm......" Miao Gongzi bowed slightly, intentionally or unintentionally, "This is indeed a troublesome matter, I didn't expect Gong Wen to care so much for Xiao Wang, and these details are all inquired clearly." ”
Wen Chen just smiled when he heard this, "Let Your Highness smile, Xiaguan has just taken office, and these news are still from the dossier left by Gonggong Wei in the past." ”
"Then in addition to these, did Wei Cheng record other deeds about Xiao Wang in the dossier? For example, the wind and snow, the wine and the beauty, in fact, Xiao Wang also has a lot of research on this way! Miao Gongzi said intentionally or unintentionally.
"These are trivial things, and it would be stingy for a disabled person like us to talk about such a thing again." Wen Chen said softly.
Miao Gongzi laughed, "Please also ask Gong Wen to teach Xiao Wang the second stumbling block!" ”
Wen Chen arched his hand and said, "Second, be soft-hearted!" ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"As far as the lower officials know, the prince now has two sons on his knees, His Royal Highness is young, His Royal Highness had a confidante in his early years, and he once wrote poems to satirize His Royal Highness at the banquet organized by the prince, but is there such a thing?"
Miao Gongzi nodded, "It was at the dinner party of Shangyuan Festival two and a half years ago. ”
"Since His Royal Highness even remembers the days so clearly, it means that His Highness cares about this matter until today, even this woman knows that although the two Highnesses are close relatives, they are also rivals, but His Highness laughed at it, and let this person talk nonsense, but weakened his own momentum, in his opinion, even if His Royal Highness is kind-hearted, he should let this kind of person have a long memory!" Wen Chen Zhengse said.
Miao Gongzi sighed slightly, "Brother Wang loves that woman for ten minutes, if this king treats her, it will definitely cause estrangement between brothers, and my father doesn't like intrigues between family members." ”
Wen Chen shook his head lightly, "It's not that the prince doesn't like the intrigue between the two highnesses, it's not that the prince doesn't like you intrigue at this time." ”
Hmph, isn't it ridiculous for a man who can sell all his children for the sake of more benefits?
It's just to see that you can still do it, and warn the sons below that now is not the time for you to fight for power, so keep your eyes open!
Miao Gongzi understood and frowned, "Father is in the prime of life, and it is normal for him to have such thoughts. ”
Wen Chen snorted, "Your Highness thinks that if there is no one to guide you, with a woman who is not in the stream, she will have the courage to ridicule Your Highness on such an occasion?" ”
"Does Duke Wei mean that this matter was instructed by Brother Wang?"
Wen Chen smiled without saying a word, suddenly got up and took out a map from the bookshelf, unfolded it and spread it on the table in front of the two.
"Your Highness, please see, this is my map of Dasheng Kyushu."
"The prince is now in control of Yuzhou in the south, and there are a total of twenty-four cities in Xuzhou, can Your Highness know how many people from His Highness are in these twenty-four cities?"
Miao Gongzi glanced at him, "Not much, but not a lot of it." ”
"What about His Highness's people?"
"Slightly inferior." Miao Gongzi replied.
Wen Chen smiled and shook his head, "Thirty percent of His Highness's people are now arranged by His Highness, and His Highness can use less than half of His Highness's people now!" ”
"Gong Wen laughed, this king's people, this king is still clear." Miao Gongzi waved his hand.
At this time, Wen Chen took out a pre-written directory from under the map, "I knew that His Highness was coming, and these subordinates were ready." ”
"My hands and eyes are all over the sky, and I can't hide anything from Grandpa Wei's eyes."
Miao Gongzi looked at the names on the list, his brows furrowed more and more, only about one-fifth of these people were under his command, and most of the rest were people who had only heard the name, and he was a little suspicious that Wen Chen was cheating him.
"That's not right......"
Wen Chen waved his hand, "There are many of these spies that His Highness has planted beside His Highness, just wait for the time to be ripe, and give His Highness a big one!" ”
In fact, this list was extracted from the evidence of Wei Cheng's guilt handed over by Nangong Que, it was Wei Cheng who deliberately planted people in Xuzhou and Xuzhou at the beginning, and even the king of Zhennan didn't know about their existence, but Wei Cheng cut off contact as soon as he died, and he couldn't take it back if he wanted to, so he just let it go and delayed Wen Chen's own placement of people, so it was better to take this opportunity to eradicate them together!
"Big? How big is it? Miao Gongzi raised his eyebrows.
"They will come as big as their hearts!" Wen Chen slapped the table.
"If Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can go back and try them first."
"Hmm......" Miao Gongzi nodded slowly.
This can be regarded as a great gift, if this is true, it can save your life at a critical time!
He originally thought that he would come today and give Wen Chen some sweetness to taste first, but he didn't expect that in the end, he would receive the benefits himself.
"Gong Wen helped Xiao Wang so much, Xiao Wang is really grateful, I wonder if Gong Wen can do anything that Xiao Wang can help?"
Wen Chen raised his hand and refused, "It's not necessary, the lower official and the prince are just falling in love, if you measure it by interests, won't it dirty the friendship between you and me?" ”
This made Miao Gongzi a little embarrassed, and the gifts he had prepared could not be given now.
"Your Highness doesn't have to worry too much, these are just a gesture, but I am very curious, Your Highness has asked so much, is there anything else you want to say to your subordinates?" Wen Chen saw that he was slow to get to the point, so he took the initiative to ask questions.
Miao Gongzi's face was straight, "Then Xiao Wang opened the skylight and said something bright, Wen Gongke intends to join forces with Xiao Wang to create a prosperous world?" ”
