To be honest, at the beginning, the King of Han really wanted to be a good brother to King Qi.
Because at that time, King Qi did not pose any threat to him, and King Qi, who did not threaten the interests of King Han, was a good brother.
But ever since the "Blood Splattered Fengtian Palace" led by the old man, the King of Han and King Qi fell out, the relationship between the two has been similar to the relationship between the mortal enemies between the King of Han and the prince.
"Why do you want to be my enemy?"
The King of Han held his forehead, with a ferocious look on his face. I don't know if it was pain or anger, "If you don't compete with me for that position, how good of a brother we would be. I want to be a good younger brother and a good second brother." , as long as you don’t fight with me, none of this will become what it is now, you really deserve to die!”
Su Qing saw the somewhat crazy look on his prince's face, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the spies from the East Palace said that the prince went to Jiming Temple for an interview. No one knows the details."
"What else can he do if he goes to meet the Holy Spirit? Well, if the old man can pay attention to him, he will see a ghost!" The King of Han snorted coldly and asked again, "Where is King Qi?"
Su Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "King Qi, he found a judge named Su Wu from one of the palace officials to help him work in the imperial study."
"Su Wu... I have never heard of this name. Let Luo Xiu mobilize the Jinyi Guards to check this person." King Han frowned slightly, "Then, is there anything unusual about King Qi?"
Su Qing shook her head: "No, King Qi has been working in the imperial study."
"How is that possible? Are you making me laugh?" The King of Han said doubtfully, "Lu Chaoyang and Yang Rong are his right-hand men. One controls thousands of court eagle dogs, and the other works for him in the imperial study. Now these two are under After being sent to prison, how could King Qi not take any action?"
Su Qing said in embarrassment: "But King Qi really didn't take any action."
The King of Han frowned: "This is too wrong. This kid, King Qi, is cunninger than a fox and full of bad ideas. Who knows what ideas he might have in his mind? Line up more people over there and keep an eye on him!"
He was more afraid of King Qi than the Crown Prince!
Although the prince is the biggest opponent of the King of Han at present, and the influence of the East Palace is intricately covering the government and the public, the prince always acts from the bright side. Because of this, the prince has many restrictions on what he does.
But King Qi is different. King Qi acts strangely. When you confidently think that he is going to do something, he can always come up with some tricks and do not follow the routine.
Dealing with a "villain" like King Qi is much more difficult than dealing with a "gentleman" like the Prince.
"I understand." Su Qing nodded, "If there is any trouble with King Qi, I will report it to the prince one by one."
After hearing this, the King of Han nodded with satisfaction.
…
In the imperial study room, Zhu Gaojie waved, and the young eunuch handed over a memorial.
Prince Qi took the memorial and opened it, reading it with gusto.
The logic is clear, unbiased, without rhetoric, only the prudentness of acting impartially. This is not like the writing of a newcomer who has never been dismissed from the government, but more like the writing of a counselor who has been tempered by the government for decades!
….
However, in fact, this memorial was really written by a teenage boy, and for such a high-level memorial, hundreds of copies would have to be processed in a day!
Zhu Gaojie looked at Su Wu who was sitting at the side of the hall writing furiously, thinking that I really had great luck and found a treasure this time.
The look in Wangfu Shi Xiaoli's eyes was really good. Just as he said, Su Wu was really a great talent, with great qualifications!
Even Zhu Gaojie himself didn't expect that a little beggar he rescued would have such amazing talents!
But Zhu Gaojie didn't remember seeing Su Wu's name in the history of the Ming Dynasty. With such a talent, anyone who could bring him into contact with government affairs would surely leave a mark in history!
[To be honest, I have been using @ recently.
If Qing Shi left his name, he might have died in a dark alley with his half-brother.
Zhu Gaojie sighed with emotion. There is no shortage of talented people in every era. What they lack is just opportunities. After all, there are only a few people who can leave their names in history and show their talents, while most geniuses, due to various reasons, are eventually buried in the dust and remain nameless.
The wheel of history will never stop, those who strive will always move forward, and those who stop making progress will eventually be buried in the heavy years.
"Su Wu, come here." Zhu Gaojie shouted.
The young man who was working hard and fighting against the memorial heard the call of his prince, and reluctantly left the platform, obediently walked to the golden chair and saluted: "Your Majesty."
Zhu Gaojie asked casually: "How is your brother's illness? I have been busy with the New Year's gifts these days, and I forgot all this for a while."
Zhu Gaojie was really telling the truth. He was really busy recently.
Zhu Di, the old bastard, spread his hands and got into Jiming Temple to relax, leaving all the errands to Zhu Gaojie. The operation of the entire country now relies on the busy work of the Imperial Study Room and the Wenhua Palace. Zhu Gaojiu's head is already big. He has just finished the ceremony to offer sacrifices to the sky, and he has to work on the New Year's ceremony in the palace. , this is not enough, the Royal Study and the Wenhua Palace have to wander around every day. If there are other mistakes, the old man will have to kill him.
Seeing that the affairs in the palace are almost finished, he will have to go to receive worshipers from foreign vassal countries in two days and hold a big pilgrimage in Fengtian Hall.
Zhu Di, this old bastard, is really good at calling people!
"I thank the prince for his concern on behalf of my brother. Thanks to the prince, my brother has recovered." Su Wu said respectfully.
This period of time was probably the happiest time for Su Wu. Originally, he thought it would take a long time to be appreciated by King Qi and show off his talents. Unexpectedly, God would reward him, and it happened that Mr. Yang Rong, King Qi's right-hand man, was in prison. There was no one around King Qi, so he tried to promote Su Wu to work in the imperial study.
There are no requirements for official rank or rank to work as an errand in the Royal Study Room. The only requirement is to be recognized by the owner of the Royal Study Room and to have sufficient ability to take over the job.
Of course, Su Wu would not waste such an opportunity. He worked hard just to get into the eyes of Prince Qi.
Moreover, Su Wu liked this job very much. Every memorial he wrote involved the lives of thousands of people and determined whether the head of a certain official in a certain place would slip from his neck. Su Wu I am obsessed with this feeling of having the power of life and death.
….
But he did not sink. On the contrary, Su Wu knew very well that this power was given to him by King Qi. If King Qi did not appreciate it, how could he, a down-and-out scholar with no rank, walk into the imperial study and sit in his current position?
Therefore, he acted more and more cautiously, thinking twice before doing anything. Only by showing sufficient ability could he be qualified to continue to follow Prince Qi.
Zhu Gaojie nodded and said: "I know your brother's talents very well. It is indeed a bit humiliating for him to be a small official like a ceremonial guard. Now that his injury has recovered, I will promote him to the rank of General of the Han Dynasty." Baihuguan, let him come and work here in the imperial study."
General Han, sounds majestic and domineering, but in fact... he has nothing to do with the general, he is just a gatekeeper.
But when it comes to looking at the door, it also depends on who is guarding the door. The General of the Han Dynasty, to be precise, is an honor guard, subordinate to the Jinyiwei but not managed by the Jinyiwei Command Department. He is a palace guard who looks after the emperor's gate. Officials among the generals of the Han Dynasty were usually chosen from their descendants, such as dukes, marquises, uncles, governors, and direct second sons of commanders, who were unable to inherit their titles, as qualifications for future promotions.
Su Wen is definitely not qualified to be a general of the Han Dynasty, but if Zhu Gaojie recommends him, there will definitely be no problem.
A warm current passed through Su Wu's heart, and he became even more respectful: "I would like to thank the prince for his love on behalf of my brother!"
Zhu Gaojie waved his hand as if he didn't care and said, "It doesn't matter, it's just a small matter."
Please note that he seems not to care, but does he really not care?
That's obviously impossible. Zhu Gaojie doesn't care about Su Wen, he cares about Su Wu.
Su Wu's talent has been demonstrated, and Zhu Gaojie will not let go of the big fish once he catches it. He will tightly hold Su Wu in his hands and prey on his weakness.
As for Su Wu, although he is not old, he is well armed and has nowhere to start. But no one is perfect, everyone has weaknesses. Su Wu's weakness is his half-brother Su Wen.
Zhu Gaojie could feel that although the two brothers disagreed on words, in their hearts they valued each other's life more than his own.
To be honest, Zhu Gaojie felt a little emotional. He also had brothers, such as the Prince of Han.
Zhu Gaojie and the King of Han were at odds with each other, but in their hearts... they were thinking about killing each other all the time!
Blood is thicker than water, and promoting Su Wen is far more effective in winning people's hearts than promoting Su Wu.
As long as he can control this blood relationship, Zhu Gaojie will be able to recruit two subordinates who are no less loyal than Lu Chaoyang.
The fact is just as Zhu Gaojie guessed, Su Wu is now in tears of gratitude.
The person he cares about most is his arrogant and unruly brother Su Wen.
As long as his brother is safe, Su Wu can risk his own life!
"Well, go down and continue working." Zhu Gaojie waved his hand.
Su Wu bowed and saluted, returned to the eucalyptus platform, and swayed freely in front of the hill-like memorial, working harder than before.
Zhu Gaojie nodded slightly. He didn't think it would be despicable for him to control Su Wu's behavior by manipulating Su Wen. This was called a fair exchange of interests.
In this real world, if you don't give enough benefits, how can you get others to work for you wholeheartedly?
Only benefit exchange is the most stable way to employ people.
Failure to generate enough benefits and relying solely on verbal deception will only lead to collapse and betrayal.
Deception in speech, coupled with sufficient benefits, is the real method of employing people.
Zhu Gaojie waved to the little eunuch beside him: "Step back, you have nothing to do here."
The little eunuch left respectfully.
In the imperial study room, only Zhu Gaojie and Su Wu were left.
Su Wu keenly noticed that King Qi's eyes fell on the shadow on the screen.
Poor Atu
