Looking at Jia Cong with a smile on his face, King Zhongyi sighed in his heart. This is a guy who has been unlucky, but he is indeed a capable person.
From the first time I heard the name Jia Cong, I refreshed my understanding of him again and again, bringing everyone one surprise after another, until he entered everyone's sight.
From an unknown boy, he became the well-known Ning Guogong. The extent of its growth and the speed of its advancement are terrifying.
He blinded countless people's eyes and made all the princes in the dynasty envious and jealous. To put it bluntly, Jia Cong is the well-deserved number one among the younger generation in recent years.
This person is not only good at fighting, he is also good at business, which makes people even more envious and jealous. His reputation spread all over the world and everyone knew it.
Jia Cong even defeated the second prince, who was his biggest competitor. Without the second prince, his chances would be even greater.
Now that this guy is in charge of the Imperial City Forbidden Army, if he can be on his side, then he will be more confident.
You must convince this guy to stand on your side. Your dominance depends on him. Thinking of this, King Zhongyi smiled and said: "I did this because I didn't want to cause trouble for Duke Ning Guo, so I came here quietly. I hope Duke Ning won't take offense." Jia Cong was disapproving in his heart, but what he said sounded nice. You yourself It's a big problem.
However, he smiled on his face and said, "It's no trouble. It's an honor for me, Ningguo Mansion, for the prince to come." Prince Zhongyi smiled and said, "Ning Guogong said this, I feel relieved. If we really want to discuss it, you and I will We are also family friends, but for some reasons, it is not convenient for us to communicate normally. From now on, we still need to get closer." Jia Cong couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he heard this.
Jia Cong had already guessed the purpose of this guy's coming, which was to win over him.
It seems that this guy is still obsessed with the throne and wants to be like his father and ascend to the top of the Ninth Five-Year Plan.
From Jia Cong's point of view, no matter how many rounds he took, it would never be this guy's turn, and he didn't know where he got such confidence.
As long as Emperor Longqing still has heirs, nothing will happen to him. His biggest reliance should be the Supreme Emperor, but it is unclear whether the Supreme Emperor will support him. Even if he does, the chance is not great.
No matter what, Jia Cong would not get on their broken ship. Although there is a connection from the previous generation, it is only the previous generation. In their generation, there is no trace of friendship between the two. If they want to use this to make themselves work for him, let alone the door, there is not even a window. .
Jia Cong smiled and said: "What the prince said is that our two masters have a close friendship with the old prince, but their endings are not very good." Feng Ziying glanced at Jia Cong in surprise, He didn't say much, he just led the way, and other things had nothing to do with him.
Prince Zhongyi was also stunned for a moment, and understood the meaning of Jia Cong's words, with a trace of displeasure flashing in his eyes.
But he didn't show it. The purpose of his coming was to win over Jia Cong, and he would not give up halfway because of such a trivial matter.
Prince Zhongyi sighed and said: "I also deeply regret what happened to the two old generals. Ning Guogong is the one who leads the army, and he should also understand the principle of winning the king and defeating the bandit. What happened back then was all in the past. We are not qualified to say anything about the choice of our generation. Even I, the king, survived by luck. It’s a bit scary to think about it.” This guy was telling the truth. After the defeat, the Supreme Emperor was furious and would join the rebellion. All of them were killed, and Prince Zhongyi and his family were all killed, leaving only the current Prince Zhongyi.
Later, the Emperor calmed down and regretted a little, so he doted on Prince Zhongyi a little more.
Because of this, Prince Zhongyi had thoughts that he shouldn't have in his heart. Jia Cong said: "What happened to the previous generation was their own decision and has nothing to do with us. It is an old thing, so let it pass. I don't know why the prince came here. ?" Jia Cong was too lazy to play charades with him anymore, so he just went straight to the point.
Feng Ziying said, "Your Majesty, brother Cong, please talk slowly while I go out to get some fresh air." Before the two of them could answer, she stood up and walked out of the living room.
Jia Cong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head gently. Feng Ziying didn't want to participate in the game between the two of them, but since they were already on the same side, how could he stay out of it.
Prince Zhongyi did not care about Feng Ziying's actions. Seeing that he and Jia Cong were the only two people left in the room, he pondered for a moment and then said: "Ning Guogong, to be honest, that seat originally belonged to my father, and I am Zhengshuo. It is up to me to take over. Come and inherit. So I also want to compete for it, and I also ask Ning Guogong to help me for the sake of the previous generation. After this is done, I will definitely not treat Ning Guogong badly. " It's just empty talk, just listen to it, don't take it too seriously.
Those who feel they are capable but have no way of promotion will join the service of these princes and princes to gamble on their luck and strive for a better future.
With Jia Cong's current status and net worth, ordinary benefits can't impress him at all, let alone gambling on luck. It's not worth it.
If the contribution and reward are not proportional, Jia Cong will not take action. There was no real benefit and Jia Cong simply ignored these empty words.
Jia Cong glanced at Prince Zhongyi and said seriously: "Your Majesty has such great ambitions, and the old Prince is still alive in heaven, so he will definitely be very pleased. But with His Majesty's princes here, Your Majesty shouldn't have much chance, right? If so, I'm not sure at all. If I insist on taking action, I don't need to tell you what the outcome will be. Your Majesty should also be very clear about it. The lessons from the past are right in front of you. Your Majesty is not a tolerant master today." Jia Cong's words already made it very clear, that's me If he doesn't think highly of you, you don't have much hope. You should just be a happy prince. This is already a disguised rejection of this person.
Prince Zhongyi also understood what Jia Cong meant and couldn't help but frown slightly. He didn't expect that Jia Cong would be so unfavorable to him. His backstage was the Supreme Emperor, and he also had some old subordinates left by his father. He felt that his hopes were still very high.
Prince Zhongyi said: "Ning Guogong, you should also know that the Supreme Emperor loves me very much, and the Supreme Emperor will definitely support me. Without the second prince, I am the one who has the greatest hope. Ning Guogong helps me. The wisest choice." Jia Cong gave him a strange look, this guy was so arrogant.
Let alone whether the Supreme Emperor would help him, even if he did help him, he would not be able to defeat Emperor Long Qing. Jia Cong asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, if I help you, what do you want me to do?" Prince Zhongyi's eyes lit up, thinking that Jia Cong had been persuaded by him, and he quickly said: "I don't think so at this stage. What needs to be done? I heard that Ning Guogong is the little god of wealth in the capital. He hopes to provide me with a sum of money to bribe those ministers. When the time comes, Ning Guogong only needs to seal off the imperial city and prevent anyone from entering or leaving. I will take care of it myself." Jia Cong couldn't help but froze when he heard this, wondering if he had heard it wrong.
Damn it, you are asking yourself to contribute money and effort. Are you treating yourself as the biggest victim?
Is this how you win over people? I still feel that I am stupid and have a lot of money, so I can let him fool me.
Jia Cong looked at Prince Zhongyi blankly and asked: "Your Majesty, I have contributed money and effort, so what can you give me?" Prince Zhongyi vowed: "Ning Guogong, as long as I succeed, Of course, I won’t treat you badly. You will enjoy your high official position, generous salary, glory and wealth.” This guy only knows how to draw big cakes, and has nothing substantial at all. He has no sincerity at all.
Maybe he feels that he is the son of destiny. As soon as he opens his mouth, others should rush up to show their courtesy. It is strange that such a person can succeed.
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you are a white wolf and you treat me like a fool. I already have high-ranking officials, rich salaries, and glory and wealth, so why should I take risks with you? It's not worth it. Besides, I already have it." , Now that His Majesty is in his prime, the Prince has no chance. Although the Supreme Emperor loves the Prince, he may not necessarily support the Prince in seizing the throne. The Prince should just keep to himself and be a free prince." Faced with such an unfashionable guy, Jia Cong directly Choose to refuse.
There is no benefit at all. If you let yourself spend money and efforts in vain, you are just trying to get rid of it. Jia Cong has never thought about taking sides. It's not that he looks down on those princes, but that his efforts and rewards are out of proportion.
I am Ning Guogong, so what if I take the risk and stand in the right position? At most, I can give you some rewards. Is there anything I lack?
If he hadn't had that relationship with the queen, he wouldn't have helped her. After hearing Jia Cong's words, Prince Zhongyi's face turned ugly. He did not expect that Jia Cong would be so straightforward, which caught him off guard.
I couldn't help but sigh secretly in my heart, this kid is really not easy to get along with, and he is not so easy to persuade.
He took a deep look at Jia Cong and asked again: "Ning Guogong, are you really not thinking about it anymore? With the relationship between the two of us, I will never treat you badly." Jia Cong cupped his hand. He said: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Your Majesty has been kind to me. It's impossible for me to betray Your Majesty. I hope that Your Majesty can forgive me." Faced with Jia Cong's straightforward refusal, Prince Zhongyi stood up abruptly, with an unkind look on his face. He said: "Since Mr. Ning Guo doesn't know how to praise me, I will take my leave." Seeing that guy looking down on him, Jia Cong would not tolerate his bad habits, so he said expressionlessly: "Let's go, I won't send you off. "Prince Zhongyi snorted coldly, stood up and walked out.
Feng Ziying had already guessed the outcome when she saw the unkind look on Prince Zhongyi's face. He sighed slightly, it was a good thing that it worked out. If it didn't work out, he would be disgraced and bowed his hand to Jia Cong.
"Brother Cong, I have disturbed you a lot today. I will come back to apologize someday and say goodbye." Jia Cong cupped his hands and said, "Brother Feng, walk slowly." Looking at the two people leaving, Jia Cong shook his head gently. .
This guy really has no self-awareness at all. With the prince of Emperor Longqing here, he has no chance at all.
Li Biao asked curiously: "Sir, does this prince have that intention to win over you?" Jia Cong nodded and said: "You are right, he does have this intention. In my opinion, He has no hope at all and has rejected him directly. People who can't see the situation clearly should stay as far away as possible." Li Biao said: "Sir, if we reject him, will he cause trouble for us? Is it bad for us?" Jia Cong snorted coldly and said: "He dares. I still have some scruples about His Majesty's son, but I won't care about dealing with him." After thinking about it, he said to Li Biao: "Just in case. In case, you inform Tiezhu and ask him to arrange for a few people to go to Zhongyi County Prince's Mansion to keep an eye on him for a while. In addition, Prince Zhongshun and the second prince should have withdrawn their personnel. There has been no movement for so long, so it should have stopped." Li Biao bowed his hands and said, "Yes, I obey, and I will inform Tiezhu later." Jia Cong returned to the backyard, changed into regular clothes, and went to his private treasury to choose one. Antiques, packed in boxes.
Yuanyang asked curiously: "Master, are you giving this away?" Jia Cong smiled and said: "Well, I want to give it to the eldest man. I have to ask him to help me with my marriage to Sister Lin. It will take a while." Yuanyang asked: "Have you set a date?" Jia Cong said: "No, don't you want me to go to the Lin Mansion to discuss it? It's a bit inappropriate for me to come forward myself, so I can only let him The master has stepped forward." Yuanyang said: "What I said is that although I have a high status, I am still a junior. It is best for an elder to intervene in this kind of matter. Will you have dinner at home tonight?" Jia Cong said: "I'll go first. Go to the East Road Courtyard to find the elder and discuss this matter with him. If you come back late, you don’t have to wait for me. You can just eat by yourself." Yuanyang said: "Well, if nothing happens, you can come back early. ." Jia Cong nodded and responded, then left the private treasury, passed through the Grand View Garden, and came to the East Road Courtyard of Rongguo Mansion.
As always, Jia She spent time with his young wives, drinking, laughing and having fun. He was living his life in a really carefree way.
Seeing Jia Cong coming, Jia She sat up. Jia Cong hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "My son, please give my regards to the master." Jia She waved his hand and said, "Come and sit." Jia Cong walked forward, sat down on one side, and placed the box in his hand in front of Jia She. .
Jia She asked curiously: "What did you get again? Did you give it to me?" Jia Cong said: "Well, I saw a pretty good antique. I knew that the master was an expert, so I bought it. Let me see if you like it." After hearing this, Jia She showed a smile on his face.
I am becoming more and more satisfied with this little son. Apart from other things, he knows how to respect himself, which is much better than that bastard Lian'er. He makes so much money and doesn't know how to show respect to himself.
Jia She opened the box and saw that it was a Four-Sheep Fangzun. He picked it up and played with it for a while, and said with satisfaction: "Yes, it is indeed a treasure. You kid is interested. After all, what do you want to see me for?"
