In political games, there are never absolutes.
Churchill, the great statesman of later generations, famously said: There are no eternal enemies and no eternal friends in the world, only eternal interests.
This sentence may not be so correct for the gentlemen of the Spring and Autumn Period. However, for villains of any era, this sentence can be said to be a wise saying.
Especially for a politician like Toyota, all political matters can be quantified.
Therefore, there is only one thing that really needs to be considered in this section: When you show kindness to your political opponents, what are the conditions that are beneficial to both parties? And then, what's the biggest concession you can give?
On Li Ran's side, Feng Duan obviously considered this.
"Haha, Ziming, please relax, Dr. Boshi has already spoken. If Ziming is willing to help, after this incident, you, Li Ziming, will definitely have a place in our Zhengguo court!"
Power, or in other words, the power of the Qing Dynasty above the court of Zheng Guo.
As soon as Sidai said this bargaining chip, Li Ran suddenly felt that Feng Duan had spent a lot of money this time.
You must know that in the political game between Feng Duan and Zi Chan, whoever has greater power above the Zheng Guochao may have a relatively greater say.
Now that Fengduan has openly promised to promote Li Ran to the position of doctor, doesn't that mean that in addition to Fengduan's camp and Zichan's camp, there will be a third party for no reason?
"oh?"
Li Ran pretended to be surprised and couldn't believe it.
Seeing this, Si Dai smiled faintly and continued to say without taking it seriously:
"Haha, it's just a trivial matter, it's not worth mentioning."
"For Dr. Boshi, this matter is all for the sake of the peace of the Zheng State. Since Ziming is deeply trusted by Dr. Zichan, and now he has the approval of Dr. Boshi, then this matter will definitely come true! Ziming's future will also be determined. The future is endless!”
Yes, this is Doctor Fengduan's overall plan: first grant Li Ran the position of doctor to improve the relationship with Li Ran. By the way, let him first mediate between himself and Zichan. In the future, when Li Ran becomes a doctor, he will wait for an opportunity to win over him.
"Li Ran is a laid-back person, so he is really flattered to be so appreciated by Dr. Boshi!"
"Please tell Dr. Boshi that Li Ran will do his best this time!"
Having said this, Li Ran was naturally ready to take advantage of the situation.
Si Dai was overjoyed when he heard this, and he laughed and said:
"Okay! If you understand this, I can rest assured."
"Then I will go and report to Dr. Ming Bo Shi now, and I will wait for the good news from Zi Ming!"
The conditions have been negotiated, the problem has been solved, and Si Dai has to leave.
After he left, Sun Wu came in from the next door and couldn't help but frown when he saw the smile on Li Ran's face.
"Sir! You don't really intend to help Toyodan, do you?"
When Zheng Yi was in trouble, Sun Wu had seen his viciousness with his own eyes.
A person who is so insidious and vicious should be punished by everyone, but now Li Ran not only does not strike while the iron is hot, but also succeeds. Moreover, he actually agreed to help him, which naturally puzzled Sun Wu. new
"Help, why not help?"
"Such a great opportunity, if you miss it, you will never have it again!"
As Li Ran spoke, he actually stretched himself, looking relaxed.
"Chance?"
"Sir, what do you mean by this?"

…
The next day, Li Ran came to Zichan's mansion and informed Feng Duan of his intention to hold an alliance oath and determine the order of the six ministers.
"Hey! This is a delaying tactic. How could you not see such a simple truth, Ziming?"
After hearing this, Zichan immediately revealed Feng Duan's real purpose.
"As soon as Zixi's rebellion is over, he will make a comeback immediately."
This time, taking advantage of the conflict between Si Hei and Feng Duan, it was originally a good opportunity to punish Feng Duan.
If Feng Duan's plan is followed, it will be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain, which is naturally not a good thing for Zichan.
"Doctor, don't worry, I think there is still an opportunity to do something about this!"
Li Ran responded with a smile without changing his expression.
Zichan was also startled when he heard the sound, and looked at Li Ran with some confusion and said:
"Can we use it as an opportunity?"
Li Ran nodded slowly, and then said slowly and calmly:
"Fengduan's move is undoubtedly a delaying strategy. However, since they are ranked in order, some people must be able to go and some cannot."
"If we can take this opportunity to continue to expand the rift between Si Hei and Feng Duan..."
Obviously, although Si Hei has turned against Feng Duan and the relationship between the two has taken a turn for the worse, it has not yet reached the point of a complete break.
If we can work harder at this time, completely tear open this rift, and make Toyodan completely give up Sihei, it will be the same as asking Toyodan to break his own arm!
And this is Li Ran's plan.
Zichan heard the sound and thought about it carefully while stroking his beard, but he still felt something was wrong.
"Even so, what's the use? Fengduan's power is still stubborn, and this is of no concern to Fengduan."
Although Si Hei's betrayal can cause some trouble for Fengduan, it is limited to what it is now.
And for Feng Duan, who already has a strong foundation of noble connections, it seems that this cannot shake his strong foundation.
Therefore, if it is only like this now and the relationship between Sihei and Fengduan is superficially disrupted, it does not seem to have much effect on the implementation of the current Zichan New Deal.
"Do not be impatient, doctor. This is just the first reason why Ran agreed to his oath."
"As for the second reason, we will naturally know it when the doctor participates in the alliance meeting."
Li Ran deliberately kept it secret and did not explain the plan one by one.
Zichan also knew that Li Ran had always been unparalleled in resourcefulness and had absolute trust in his character. So, seeing how confident he looked, I immediately agreed without asking any more questions.
What's more, as far as Zisan is concerned, if his relationship with the conservative faction headed by Toyodan can be slightly eased at this time, so that the New Deal can be implemented steadily, there is indeed nothing wrong with it.
Now that he had Zichan's approval, Li Ranxuan made the arrangements.
This is the first time that the two factions will hold an alliance meeting in this way. The choice of the location for the alliance needs to be very careful. It cannot favor either the conservative faction or the reform faction.
So, after careful consideration, Li Ran decided to choose the venue for the alliance in his own manor, which was the golf manor designed and built by Li Ran himself.
In addition, now is the season when the incense flowers are in bloom. Therefore, Li Ran, who is very particular about setting off the atmosphere, ordered people to collect a lot of incense flowers and decorated the place where the alliance was held. It was transformed into a garden full of incense flowers.
Of course, when it comes to picking flowers, Ji Le is naturally the most enthusiastic about it.
