"I think His Highness's current situation may seem like a bouquet of flowers, but in fact it is extremely dangerous!"
After Gongsun Yi sat down, he said a thunderbolt. Seeing the shock of Zhang Liang and the serious and strict young people suddenly changed their expressions, he couldn't help but feel a little complacent. Looking at the expressions of the Lord and the Sixth Prince, he was as calm as ever, but he couldn't help but feel... He became awe-inspiring.
He put away the arrogance born of his talent and analyzed it seriously with Ying Zheng: "Does Your Highness have a strong maternal family, or is it a powerful country as a foreign aid?"
Ying Zheng shook his head: "No."
Gongsun Yi asked again: "How many helping hands does His Highness have in the court?"
Ying Zheng said: "There is nothing."
Gongsun Yi then said: "His Highness seems to have great power now, but in fact, he only relies on His Majesty's trust. Today, there are many people from various countries who are unwilling to vote for him, and what they value may not be His Highness, but His Majesty. It is Emperor Zhou who has shown this preference for you that compares to and even surpasses the eldest son of the emperor..."
"But people's hearts are so changeable, let alone the king's heart. What your Majesty can give you today, you may not be able to take back in the future. By then, those who succumbed to the situation today will become like birds and beasts in an instant!"
Hearing this, Serenity shook his head and said, "I think Mr. Gongsun's words are a bit alarmist. If Your Majesty doesn't value His Highness, why would you allow us two brothers to serve you?"
Gongsun Yi said sternly: "It sounds honorable to order the prince to recruit the sons of marquises as his disciples, but the two princes are neither the princes themselves nor hold positions in the court, even if they are used by His Highness. What can I do? It’s just a castle in the air, it looks good but it’s useless!”
Zhang Liang realized something: "If His Highness wants to ascend to the throne smoothly, His Royal Highness the eldest son of the Emperor is an unavoidable obstacle. And behind His Highness the eldest son of the Emperor, there are also the nobles of Shiqing Shilu of the Zhou Kingdom. Six His Highness went to oppose them with a clear-cut stand, but who knows whether he will be able to successfully cross this mountain in the end, or will he use it to make up for the shortfall after moving mountains and seas after the great achievements are accomplished?"
Using the heads of meritorious ministers to appease resentment is not something that no king has done in the past.
A man with such extraordinary achievements as Shang Yang ended up being cut into pieces, let alone a mere prince!
Although young Zhang Liang has not yet grown into a complete Liuhou, he has indeed begun to show his prowess. At least, he can think about the whole matter from a high-level perspective as a politician.
Ying Zheng was a little pleased, but he still turned his attention to Gongsun Yi: "So, sir, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
Gongsun Yi looked excited and his eyes were bright, and said: "It depends on what kind of successor the emperor wants today. If he is enterprising and bold, we should persuade him to take risks. Don’t be timid, seek safety and security but be unwilling to take risks, just advise him to take a conservative path and try not to make mistakes. The essence of what a politician does is that there are no rules and regulations..."
When Ying Zheng heard this, he immediately praised him and said, "Sir, you have an unparalleled talent. Please accept my respect from this younger generation."
With a smile on his face, Gongsun Yi stood up and returned the courtesy: "I am entrusted by others to do something loyal to my people. Your Highness really doesn't deserve the false praise."
Ying Zheng then stood up, supported him with his own hands, and said sincerely: "I am still young and do not have access to these official circles. Although Zifang and the two sons of Yinghou are not stupid people, they are still less important to the court." I have learned from my experience that getting my husband to help me today is just like a fish getting water, or a long drought getting sweet rain!"
He glanced at Zhang Liang and the Yan brothers, waved his hand, and immediately agreed: "From now on, you all must obey Mr. Gongsun's orders. His will is my will!"
Without even giving the three people or even Gongsun Yi time to react, he continued: "Sir, this is a new arrival. Do you have a mansion to live in? After I was able to recruit guests, Your Majesty gave me a mansion, a number of carriages and horses. I would like to give this to my husband as a gift and express my feelings. Please don’t refuse!”
Among all the people present, Zhang Liang was the first to surrender, but he had never been so valued. Now that the Sixth Prince valued this person so much, he was a little surprised.
Not jealous, but shocked.
The Sixth Prince... doesn't seem like someone who would express his emotions so openly.
He was a very smart person, so he thought about the previous conversation between the Sixth Prince and Gongsun Yi, and after a moment's thought, it became clear to him.
Yong Yan was still angry at the preferential treatment Gongsun Yi received, but his brother pulled him back and stopped him from saying anything.
Gongsun Yirao was so unpredictable that he was suddenly hit by the big cake thrown by the Sixth Prince. He was inevitably frozen on the spot for a few moments. However, he was worthy of being a master disciple of the strategist family. He quickly adjusted his state, his face was full of emotion, and his eyes were filled with tears. Tears, clinging to Ying Zheng's hand, he shouted, "A scholar will die for his confidant!"
Ying Zheng immediately ordered a banquet to be held in honor of the guests who had passed the screening today. The guests were given money and rooms, which was quite a courtesy. The guests, headed by Gongsun Yi, were full of praises during the banquet.
It was expected that tonight, the entire Zhou Kingdom would know that the Sixth Prince had recently recruited a political strategist from the Wei Kingdom, and treated him very well and with great courtesy.
When Gongsun Yi was mingling with everyone at the banquet, he was naturally full of ambition and contentment. When the singing and singing ended and he got into the carriage specially ordered by the Sixth Prince to take him to the mansion, the smile on his face disappeared completely.
"It's not good, it's not good!"
He patted his thigh and said to himself: "Although this sixth prince is young, he is very ghostly and is not easy to fool!"
After the banquet over there, Ying Zheng poured out the remaining wine in the glass and couldn't help but snorted: "This guy is dishonest and full of squanderings!"
To be fair, is what Gongsun Yi said useful?
it works.
Age is there. Compared to Zhang Liang's youth, Gongsun Yi is much more mature. After all, he is now a middle-aged SSR and is already a fully mature SSR.
Is it really that useful?
Neither.
Rather than saying that he sincerely surrenders and wants to give Ying Zheng advice, it is better to say that he wants to burn the stove. If Ying Zheng can succeed, then he will follow the chickens and dogs to heaven. If Ying Zheng cannot succeed, he will pat his butt and replace him immediately. One family.
Listen to what he said - let Ying Zheng decide the dishes based on the emperor's temperament, but Gongsun Yi himself, didn't he consider the thoughts of Ying Zheng, the master, when he made the dishes?
He was unable to come up with any suggestions that truly exceeded Ying Zheng's psychological expectations.
It's not that he can't bring it up, but that he doesn't want to be too deeply bound to the Sixth Prince. This guy is making two preparations. If he doesn't know well, he will definitely run away!
He truly deserves to be a pure strategist and master disciple. He is all about skills and no emotions!
Gongsun Yi wanted to have the best of both worlds, but Ying Zheng wanted to block his path.
If you don't want to serve me wholeheartedly, then there's nothing I can do about it?
The money was given, the mansion was given, and the respect far beyond ordinary people was given. In ancient times, virtuous kings were courteous to virtuous corporals. However, for the sixth prince of the Zhou Kingdom to do this for this troubled Gongsun, it will be almost impossible for Gongsun Yi in the future. No more serving others!
If he could betray a master who respected him so much, who would dare to use him in the future?
Besides, Ying Zheng was still thinking about another thing in his mind.
As Gongsun Yi said, everyone knows that the emperor has long wanted to abolish the Shiqing Shilu system, but almost everyone also knows how powerful the old aristocrats who are entrenched in this old system are.
If Ying Zheng wants to ascend to the throne, he must surpass the eldest son of the emperor, and if he wants to surpass the eldest son of the emperor, he must overthrow these conservative forces. After all, Zhang Liang is young and thin-skinned. The Yan brothers are also young and cannot afford this stall. It was just right to let Gongsun Yi handle it!
Anyway, he is a gangster and has no face at all!
Furthermore, it is precisely because he is a gangster that when it comes to subduing this person, I can't help but borrow some power from Emperor Zhou...
After sorting out Gongsun Yi's matter, Ying Zheng turned his attention to the threat hidden in the dark.
The old nobles were only second, and the eldest son of the emperor was nothing.
For him, the Queen, a woman who came from a wealthy family and had been in the back position for decades, was the one who could really pose a threat to him.
Unlike the emperor's eldest son, Ying Zheng didn't think that the queen would let anyone assassinate him, or that she would openly use her identity to overwhelm him. This was too stupid. It would only make the queen look low-end and trigger a quick trigger. The emperor's dislike for her was more than worth the loss.
But apart from that, what can the queen do?
Ying Zheng couldn't guess it for a moment.
But he didn't feel depressed at all.
It's fun to compete with smart people, isn't it?
The carriage rumbled forward, and Ying Zheng's thoughts drifted further away. Suddenly, he heard a burst of distant laughter coming into his ears. Along with the exclamations of the attendants outside and the neighing of the horses, the carriage stopped. Come down.
Through the car curtain, Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "What happened?"
The attendant paused for a few seconds before hesitatingly said: "Reporting to Your Highness, there was an accident on the road ahead. It seems interesting. Would you like to come out and have a look?"
After Ying Zheng heard this, he didn't even move his eyelids and said without interest: "No need, let's go."
…
In the inner palace, the queen's face and voice were hidden behind the curls of green smoke emitted by the incense burner.
"Has everyone made arrangements?"
The confidant whispered: "Following the wishes of the empress, I have found the most suitable person to serve His Highness the Sixth Prince."
The queen smiled almost inaudibly: "Gift-giving is all about doing what you want, and destroying a person is also the same."
…
After Ying Zheng spoke, the attendant responded hesitantly.
And Ying Zheng sneered and said to the old guys in the space: "Could it be that the Queen took action and placed a peerless beauty on my only path?"
"Heh," he slightly curved his lips and let out a chuckle: "Stupid, does she think I will be moved by women?"
Before the other people in the space spoke, Ying Zheng heard a muffled low voice coming from outside the carriage.
"God, it's an immortal!"
"...Who else besides gods can perform such a magical spell?!"
Ying Zheng: "Huh?!"
What did I just hear? !
Soon enough, he opened the car curtain!
Let me be healthy, let me be healthy! ! !
The rest of the people in the space: "..."
The rest of the people in the space: "…………"
Li Yuanda: "This queen...has something."
Li Shimin: "This queen...has something."
Zhu Yuanzhang: "This queen...has something."
The corner of Liu Che's mouth twitched a few times: "I mean, First Emperor, let's stop biting such a straight hook, right?"
Ying Zheng didn't even turn around: "How do you know this is Gou'er? Have you verified it? No? In that case, why do you say this is Gou'er?!"
The alchemist over there who has some knowledge of chemistry has already begun to talk about the way to immortality.
Ying Zheng: "Wow!" (Star Eyes)
He thought the carriage was too far away, so he even got out of the car to listen.
The rest of the people in the space: "..."
Ah this.
Chapter 200
When Ying Zhengfu got out of the car, he saw a middle-aged man with an air of immortality standing on the road he had to pass not far away. His attire was somewhat similar to Gongsun Yi, whom he had met for the first time before, but he was more visible than the latter. The bones are so unique that they look like immortals.
He stepped forward quickly and saw that the man waved slightly, and a light blue flame suddenly appeared in his palm. Then he waved his sleeves, and white mist spread out, causing the water in front of him to freeze into ice.
The onlookers were already shocked. Countless people knelt down to worship the immortal. Those who couldn't kneel down were also stunned and dumbfounded.
When Ying Zheng saw this, he couldn't help but rectify his description, and went over to pay homage to the middle-aged man: "Sir, you are a man of heaven, please accept my respects from this generation!"
