Chapter 20: The Man Behind the Scenes
Yang Wuregret suddenly thought of four words, that is, the underground emperor.
Although it is not like the current saint, he does not necessarily have less power than His Majesty today.
The important thing is that Gao Zhijie still has money, and he can continue to support those scholars who he wants to make them officials, and even corrupt those officials.
Slowly, maybe he can actually do it.
Gao Zhijie's ambition is too big.
Yang Wuregret exhaled deeply, and then asked Gao Zhijie, "What is the purpose of your doing this?" ”
Gao Zhijie replied with a smile: "Purpose, isn't the purpose already obvious!" In this world, money is far from enough, and rights are also needed. And I can't control the power, so I control the power. In life, either you have money or power, and you will become a master. But if you can control the money and power, then you will not only become a master, but you can even control the fate of others. ”
Gao Zhijie paused and continued: "I was born in the Zhe family, and I understand the importance of fame and fortune. So I have to control my own destiny, and I have to control the destiny of others. That's why I'm going to meddle in the imperial examination, and even change the entire Great Song Dynasty. ”
Yang Wuregret and Shen Yi glanced at each other, and they both felt that Gao Zhijie's thoughts were extremely paranoid.
The existence of such people is indeed a great scourge.
And Yang Wuregret has another problem, a big problem.
"I believe what you're saying, but I don't believe you can do it alone. You must know that the Wantong Trading Company is transporting armaments to the forces hostile to our Great Song Dynasty, is this also a way for you to change the Great Song Dynasty? ”
Gao Zhijie was stunned, he looked at Yang Wuregret and was a little silent for a while.
Yang Wuregret continued: "I actually believe what you said, you may feel that fate is unfair to you, and this world is also unfair to you. But when you say that you manipulated all this, I don't believe it. Rather than telling you about your purpose, you're interpreting what someone else has told you about their inner thoughts, so in front of us, you have these thoughts, you take out the other person's words, and then say that you say them. ”
Yang Wuregret sneered: "To put it bluntly, you Gao Zhijie don't have such courage, because even if you are from the Zhe family, your vision and sight will not be able to reach where you want to go." So who can say this, and even convince you so much? ”
Yang Wuregret added again: "I don't think it's King Shu!" ”
Gao Zhijie snorted coldly: "Yang has no regrets, although you are a disciple of Bao Gong, you have never received the true inheritance of Bao Gong. If I hadn't done these things, would you think that someone else could have commanded me? I did all this for my great ideals, so no one could command me. Even if I have faced King Shu for so many years, I am also a yang and a yin. Because King Shu is only appreciative of my beautiful jade for me. After that, the growth of Wantong Commercial Bank relied on my Gao Zhijie after all. ”
Shen Yi didn't know why, he couldn't understand the conversation between the two at all.
Could it be that in Yang Wuregret's view, there is still a black hand behind the scenes, and Gao Zhijie is just a chess piece?
If that's the case, then who else?
Thinking about it, he could only think of King Shu, but Yang Wuregret also said that it was not King Shu!
Shen Yi sometimes felt that it was not that he was not smart enough, but that some people were too smart, even to the point of being too smart, making others look like they were listening to riddles.
Now whether it is Yang Wuregret or Gao Zhijie, they are both riddlers.
Yang Wuregret looked at Gao Zhijie and was unmoved.
Gao Zhijie also looked at Yang Wuregret, and after a long time, he came to say this.
"I have a doubt, please can you solve it for me!"
After hearing this, Yang Wuregret nodded.
"But it doesn't hurt to speak!"
Gao Zhijie said: "The fraud in the imperial examination, your spearhead from the beginning was directly aimed at Wantong Commercial Bank, or directly at me, why are you so clear, I manipulated it behind the scenes." ”
Yang Wuregret shook his head with a serious expression on his face.
"As I said, you're not behind this, and you're just a pitiful pawn, even a pawn that can be discarded. As for how to point to you so clearly, that is, in the first place, Lord Lan Youzhilan was framed and imprisoned by you. In fact, at that time, I had already found Wantong Trading Company, and even you. However, the right servant of the ministry committed suicide suddenly, although the case has not been thoroughly investigated, but the court thinks that it is enough to kill a right servant of the ministry, so I have no ability to continue to investigate. ”
Yang Wuregret continued to speak: "After that, you waited for a winter dormancy, or you originally planned to do something in the imperial examination, it is not considered dormant, just waiting for the opportunity. I guess you bought the other two examiners of the Ministry of Officials, so you were able to do something in the imperial examination! You even did it to replace other people's test papers, otherwise I don't understand what you have to do to cheat in the imperial examination. ”
Gao Zhijie nodded and said: "That's true, I said that money can make ghosts grind, let alone people." I have been giving them money all these years, and when I need them to do this, I was reluctant at first, but as long as I gave them enough money and did what they liked, they agreed to me. So in the imperial examination, except for Lan Youzhi, a stupid person, everyone else was basically bought by me, so it was very easy to cheat, and it was not as complicated as outsiders thought. ”
Yang Wuregret frowned and said, "Lord Lan is not a stupid person, he is a real Qingliu person, and the Great Song Dynasty needs such a person as an official!" ”
At this moment, Gao Zhijie did not say anything to mock.
Maybe deep down in his heart, he thinks so too!
If everyone in the entire Great Song Dynasty is greedy for power, then how many people are willing to do practical things?
After all, the hard-working people had already died at the moment when the Great Song Dynasty was established, and they did not enjoy the treatment they received later.
Therefore, after several generations have passed, their descendants have long forgotten the original intention of fighting the world, but are high above and oppressing the people, which is probably not the spirit of that generation.
Shen Yi asked at the right time: "Since Gao Zhijie is not the person who controls behind the scenes, who is the person who controls it, and which important minister of the court is it?" ”
Gao Zhijie also looked at Yang Wuregret, and what Shen Yi just asked was Yang Wuregret.
He knew that Gao Zhijie would not answer, maybe there was no such person at all, maybe there was, but in a situation like Gao Zhijie, he would definitely not take the initiative to say it.
As for the use of torture, the other party may not be afraid.
Shen Yi believed that Yang Wuregret knew a lot of things that he didn't know.
Now at this moment, they can be revealed one by one.
