Wang Xiang's original idea was to get rid of Cao Chao, directly find a reliable leading brother in the big family, and then use a pure family alliance to fight with the Sima family and strive for benefits.

It's a pity that Lu Yu's attitude disappointed him.

He clearly realized that if these leading brothers encountered something really dangerous, they would ruthlessly push themselves out and take responsibility, and if they really got the benefits, they would still come first.

This made Wang Xiang extremely unwilling.

Only then did he have the idea of an alliance with the emperor, and as a result, the emperor gave him a bigger surprise, and the queen mother entered the game.

Wang Xiang immediately made a decision, the alliance formed by the empress dowager, the emperor, and the family was definitely not something that any big family could fight against.

This three-in-one alliance lacks nothing, in name, order, execution, everything, and there is no need to be a dog for those big families.

Therefore, Wang Xiang changed his mind, and he began to search for ministers like himself, that is, those ministers with outstanding talents, but not from top families.

The first thing he thought of was this Chen Qian, the middle of the imperial history.

First of all, this person's talent is undeniable, his political achievements are very good, and he is extremely intelligent, and even Sima Shi and others praise him.

Then, this person's ambition is also not small, he has been constantly thinking about climbing up, in history, he has been running around for Sima Yan's ascension, urging the emperor to give way, in order to go further, it can be said that he does not hesitate to be famous.

Finally, and most importantly, this is a very selfish man who doesn't care so much about the clan.

Sima Shi can sacrifice everyone for the sake of the clan, and he can sacrifice the clan for himself.

Wang Xiang felt that he could completely win over this person.

The demands of the two of them are completely different, even if they win power in the end, there will be no obvious conflict between them, Wang Xiang needs to pave the way for his family, and Chen Qian only wants to be the one who assists the Holy King.

Relying on Wang Xiang alone, of course, he can't go against a behemoth like the Sima family, and he must win over the ministers in the court, but the order of this co-optation is very important.

Chen Qian can be the first to be wooed.

Chen Qian looked at Wang Xiang in front of him, and he also had a lot of thoughts in his heart.

His original idea was to follow the path of the dragon, skip Sima Shi, and aim at Sima Zhao, and promote to the top group of characters by assisting Sima Zhao to become a dragon.

However, Wang Xiang has now given him another way.

Of course, he would not feel that it was the Queen Mother and the Emperor who controlled Wang Xiang to do things for himself, and it was Wang Xiang who controlled the Queen Mother and the Emperor to do things for himself.

He also realized the strength of such an alliance, and in addition, it was the policies that Wang Xiang mentioned

If you can complete these policies, even if you only complete one of them, you will be able to be promoted to the top ranks, and all the great families in the world will have to thank you for your kindness, although the risk is greater, but what can you do without risk?

Is there no risk from the Dragon Road? If this road is not followed, the end may not be much better than rebellion.

He is indeed a very selfish person, he doesn't care if these policies can bring benefits to the family, he just thinks that completing these policies will bring benefits to himself.

"Prince, what are you going to do?"

Chen Qian suddenly asked.

Wang Xiang laughed, "I don't have any talent, all I want is to revitalize the family, such a big thing, naturally you are the master, I am willing to do it according to your suggestions." ”

Chen Qian's eyes narrowed again.

Wang Xiang didn't want to give up the dominance, he just wanted to let himself take the lead in the charge and use himself as a knife in his hand.

But what does it matter?

His goal was originally to accomplish such a big thing, and it was best to take his own lead to accomplish such a big thing.

"Be benevolent, don't let the teacher."

Chen Qian gave an answer.

Wang Xiang was very happy, hurriedly got up, and personally poured wine for Chen Qian, Chen Qian also hurriedly got up, and didn't even dare to say it.

When two smart people get together, they don't need to say anything at all, they all know each other's thoughts.

"The general is dying, so we need to hurry."

Chen Qian said very seriously: "There will be a battle between the general and the general Zhendong, and we must promote this matter before the war." ”

"If it is after the war, whether the general wins, or the general Zhendong wins, it will be not good for us."

"Oh? Why? ”

Wang Xiang asked suspiciously.

Chen Qian replied:

"The role of the ministers is the most important now, the general needs to appease us, before pacifying Biqiu Jian, he will not even dare to abolish the emperor, let alone fight against the ministers"

"If he gets rid of Biqiu Jian, then the next step is to deal with the ministers, even if we mobilize the ministers, he can still defeat us by dividing and luring."

"And if Biqiu Jian wins, he is extremely loyal to His Majesty, Your Majesty, as the king of Great Wei, may not really implement such a policy, and if Your Majesty repents at that time, we will have to fight against Biqiu Jian It is also unfavorable."

"Today, General Zhengxi is in a hurry to implement the new policy, just to let the ministers have more responsibilities, so that he can deal with Biqiu Jian with peace of mind."

"This also shows that the general's time is short, and he can no longer suppress the ministers, and he needs to give up his interests."

The more Chen Qian spoke, the more excited he became, and his eyes flashed with a fine light, "The courtiers are all immersed in the joy of the new lord, and the Sima family will definitely go all out to deal with Biqiu Jian next, this is a good opportunity for us, we have to quickly win over the virtuous ministers in the temple, and wait until the moment when the general officially starts, and then make trouble in an instant." ”

Wang Xiang's face twitched.

Just now, he was still excited to win over Chen Qian, but at this moment, his heart was half cold.

Are you a little too impulsive?

I understand your idea of coming forward, but aren't you afraid that you will be directly punished by Sima Shi if you go too far???

Wang Xiang instantly discovered the first difference between the two, Wang Xiang still has to think about his clan, he can give it a go, but he has to leave a way out, but he doesn't care about the one in front of him!!

Wang Xiang cleared his throat and spoke again: "Xiu Yuan"

"If Sima Shi and Biqiu Jian start a war, we suddenly make trouble, Sima Shi will go on a killing spree in the name of colluding with Biqiu Jian, in that kind of crisis, what can't he do?"

"I think that it should be slowly figured out, Sima Shi's life is not long, even if he defeats Biqiu Jian, Sima Zhao does not have the same talent as his brother, as long as he wins over the ministers, he does not have to worry about Sima Zhao as for Biqiu Jian, he is also a big family, and he will not oppose such a benevolent government"

Looking at Wang Xiang in front of him, Chen Qian put away the excitement on his face, and he realized that he had scared the other party.

He smiled, "Don't worry, the prince doesn't have to worry, these are just one of many schemes, sacrificing my life is not asking for death, I won't do anything reckless and put you in danger, please rest assured." ”

"I really want to meet the Queen Mother"

Wang Xiang nodded, "This is easy to do, the Queen Mother has often summoned ministers to meet recently, I will inform Your Majesty, let her find a time to summon Xiu Yuan, and when the time comes, Xiu Yuan will just talk to her." ”

"Yui."

Looking at Chen Qian, who had changed back to his original kind appearance, Wang Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.

I need a sharp blade, but I don't need an uncontrolled blade, it seems that I still have to be a little wary of this person

The two talked for a long time and ate a lot of wine, and then Chen Qian left the mansion.

The next day, Wang Xiang went to the East Hall as usual to give a lesson to Cao Chao.

"Your Majesty!!"

"Teacher!!"

Both of them spoke at the same time, both of them had something to tell.

"Let's talk about it first."

Wang Xiang nodded and said, "The minister has persuaded Chen Qian, the middle of the imperial history, to come with him to assist His Majesty." ”

"Chen Qian, this person is very intelligent, virtuous, simple and kind"

Wang Xiang praised it, but Cao Chao complained.

I admit it smart, after all, I can be one of the eight founding princes of the Western Jin Dynasty, and no one who can do this position is stupid.

When the Western Jin Dynasty was founded, Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, awarded Sima Fu, the king of Anping, as Dazai, Zheng Chong as the Taifu, Wang Xiang as the Taibao, Sima Wang, the king of Yiyang, as the Taiwei, He Zeng as the Situ, Xun Yi as the Sikong, Shi Bao as the Great Sima, and Chen Qian as the Great General.

The world calls it "eight princes in the same day, climbing the clouds with wings"

These eight people were the eight fiercest people when the Western Jin Dynasty founded.

To say that he is of high moral character or something, this is pure fart.

Chen Qian, as a celebrity, followed Shi Bao to urge Sima Yan to ascend the throne and forced Cao Huan to engage in Zen.

Later, his brother quarreled with his son, and after a few scoldings, he went to his cousin to expel his own brother.

Moreover, he has a very good relationship with Jia Chong and others, and he also supports Sima Zhen to take the position.

No matter how you look at it, this man looks like an ambitious traitor.

However, Cao Chao didn't think there was anything about it.

There is a traitor under his command, then he should be afraid of himself, but there are ten traitors under his command, and the ones who should be afraid are Liu Chan and Sun Liang!

"Good! That's great! ”

"With such a talented person to assist me, what else do I have to worry about?"

Cao Chao applauded.

Wang Xiang was silent for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, although this person is virtuous, but a little reckless, he really wants to meet with the Queen Mother, and please ask Your Majesty to inform the Queen Mother, if he has any proposals, you can discuss with the old minister first, and then make a decision." ”

"Please don't worry, teacher, I know."

"I'll go to the Queen Mother later and tell her truthfully, if the Queen Mother learns that the Imperial History Zhongcheng also came to assist, she will definitely be very happy."

Cao Chao said with a smile.

"Well, what did Your Majesty want to say?"

"Teacher, the Queen Mother said that she wants Yanghu to serve as the general of the town guard."

"What does the teacher think?"

Wang Xiang was stunned for a moment, and quickly recalled the tall and humble young man in his mind.

"Why does the Queen Mother want to use this person? This person is the in-law of the Sima family, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to use it. ”

"Does the teacher think it's not feasible?"

"It's not entirely impossible."
