As a lobbyist, if you are a small person, you can protect things silently and be harmonious with your neighbors; if you are a big person, you can be a messenger to the princes and plan the territory and the country.
Today, as a lobbyist, whether Guo Jinkui captured Liu Gan's heart or was captured by Liu Gan's life is unknown.
Guo Jinkui took his seat again and the game officially began.
Seeing that he was calm and relaxed, he started to talk eloquently, "Last year, after Bozhou Mu Su Ran made a big fuss in Chang'an City, uncle, how do you think your reputation is?"
Liu Gan was drinking by himself, extremely open-minded, and said nonchalantly, "Haha! Don't mention it, eight words, the river is going downhill, plummeting, haha!"
Guo Jinkui turned around and asked, "Uncle, I think that since people's hearts are like this, how long can you stay in the temple? How long can you use the love that you raised His Majesty and ascended the throne from the dragon?"
"I am getting old and weak, and I am afraid that it won't be long before I resign and return to old age!"
What Liu Gan said was true and false. It was true that he was getting older and weaker, but he, Liu Gan, had no intention of resigning and returning to his old age. According to his assumptions, he would at least still be here. In this position, if he works for another five years, he will have to wait at least until all the families in the world are pacified before he dares to retire in peace.
If this idea is mentioned by some loyal ministers and good generals, they will be praised with a few flattery words such as "loyal ministers and good generals", but if this idea comes from Liu Gan's mouth, it will become an idea that will surprise others when they hear it.
They would point fingers at Liu Gan, ridicule his hypocrisy, and then spread the word, making Liu Gan even more notorious.
Therefore, this idea has been buried deep in Liu Qian's heart, and even his wife and his son are unknown.
"I heard that a shrewd businessman will always buy in large quantities when the goods are at their lowest, and then sell them all when the goods are at their highest. In this way, the businessman will gain the maximum profit. I am afraid that I will become a businessman. Let’s wait and see, right?”
Guo Jinkui bowed slightly and smiled. Suddenly, he changed the topic and said in a stern voice, "But my nephew wants to tell my uncle. With His Majesty's character, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait for this day!"
Liu Ben slapped the table and stood up, shouting, "You are so rude, how dare you be so tyrannical to my father! I'm looking for a beating."
Liu Gan smiled and waved his hand to Liu Ben, signaling Liu Ben to calm down. Then, Liu Gan's expression remained unchanged, he looked at Guo Jinkui calmly and asked, "My dear nephew, what do you mean by this?"
Guo Jinkui stood up, walked around the field with his hands behind his hands, and said softly, "More than ten years ago, His Majesty appointed Lu Zheng as prime minister, taking advantage of the incompatible weaknesses between the powerful clans, mediating horizontally and vertically, exchanging benefits for benefits, and all his evil schemes were revealed. Now, ten years have passed, and most of the ministers in the temples in Gyeonggi Province have been selected by His Majesty. The Sizhi, Shaoqing, Changshi and Sima under the ministers, although there are still many descendants of the same family, are mostly upright ministers and are not enough. Concern. One thing is declining and the other is growing. The family has long been weak and has no time to take care of itself. It is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and it has no longer the courage of the past. Your Majesty has swept thousands of miles and gathered all directions, all at your fingertips. He holds the general trend of the world in his hand and can swallow the giant with one sword. between."
Liu Gan smiled and said, "What my nephew just said is already a fact that does not need to be made public in the temple, so there is no need to state it here!"...
Liu Qian stopped his cup and threw chopsticks, his eyes far away, "A good lobbyist should be like an eagle. He can hit the mark with his words. He can speak from the bottom of people's hearts and let people take out their hearts and give them to you, not just an eagle." Sparrows just keep chirping."
Guo Jinkui was stunned for a moment, then said coquettishly, "Uncle, don't worry! You have to eat the food one bite at a time to have the flavor. If you wolf it down, it would be too sloppy!"
Liu Gan waved his sleeves, with a playful look in his eyes. At this time, in his eyes, Guo Jinkui was not a qualified lobbyist. At least, he did not know how to teach students in accordance with their aptitude and understand people's hearts.
Guo Jinkui's heart was like a mirror. Liu Gan was one of the most difficult people to deal with in the entire Han Dynasty. He was ruthless in that he never gave his opponents a second chance. From what Liu Gan said just now, if he still If he can't open Liu Qian's heart, his life may be on the line here.
After thinking about it, Guo Jinkui was cruel to herself, her eyes were shining brightly, and she said sternly to Liu Qian, "Uncle, all the great families have not blocked the emperor's torrent. Uncle, you are a thorn in His Majesty's flesh, and you can still torment him. When?"
Liu Gan's face did not change, he was eating his food and ignored Guo Jinkui.
Although Guo Jinkui is known for his maturity and stability, he still looks too immature in front of Liu Gan, who is as stable as a mountain.
Seeing that Liu Gan didn't respond at all, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered. For a moment, he didn't know how to impress Liu Gan.
Liu Gan and Liu Ben, father and son, said nothing, only focused on eating and drinking, and regarded Guo Jinkui as if they were nothing. The situation was awkward for a moment.
Guo Jinkui clenched her fists, and after making up her mind, she raised her head and said sternly to Liu Qian, "Uncle, your majesty is still thinking about the old relationship at this time. You want to save face for your uncle, and hope that your uncle will retire on his own and return to the mountains and forests. But if your majesty will take this matter seriously, Put it to the court, uncle thinks, uncle, what are your chances of winning in the court discussion? When the time comes to break up, uncle feels that with the ability of Prime Minister Lu Zheng, the strength of the imperial censor Xie Pe, and the fierceness of the general Tao Kan, you can still come out of Weiyang alive. Palace?"
Guo Jinkui raised the corner of her mouth and said coldly, "I have already thought of the answer for you, no!"
Liu Gan suddenly froze for half a minute, and then he nodded to Guo Jinkui and motioned for Guo Jinkui to continue.
Seeing the slight change in Liu Gan's expression, Guo Jinkui knew that the powerful medicine he had just taken had taken effect. Then, he strolled around the court and talked about old things, "Once, I, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, once asked Han Xin: ' In the opinion of King Han of Chu, how many troops can I bring?" Han Xin swore to Emperor Gaozu: "Your Majesty can not bring more than one hundred thousand troops." After hearing this, Liu Bang's face suddenly showed anger, and then asked Han Xin: " Then how many troops can you, Han Xin, lead?" Han Xin said boldly: "I am different from the king. Of course, the more troops you can lead, the better."
Guo Jinkui looked Liu Qian squarely, "Later, when Emperor Gaozu was attacking Chen Xi, Han Xin's servant Luan sent someone to report that Han Xin and Chen Xi were conspiring to rebel. After Empress Lu got the news, she found someone to lie to him about Chen Xi's rebellion. The situation has been settled and the ministers are invited to meet. After the ministers arrived at the court, Empress Lu immediately captured Han Xin and told the court officials that Chen Xi had been captured and confessed that Han Xin was the mastermind. The evidence was conclusive and the ministers did not dare to disagree. . Empress Lu immediately pushed Han Xin out of the market, and a generation of military immortals fell."
Liu Ben looked at him carelessly and taunted, "Guo Jinkui, are you going to talk about these clichéd past events? I almost fell asleep listening to them!"
Guo Jinkui ignored Liu Bi and still looked directly at Liu Qian, "My nephew thinks that one of the reasons why Han Xin, the soldier immortal, died was because of his superior achievements, and the other reason is that he didn't know how to advance or retreat, and he didn't know his holy will well! "
Guo Jinkui whipped his penis inside and looked at Liu Qian deeply, "Since ancient times, those who have achieved great success have only two endings. One is to be eradicated, and the other is to retire from the court. Uncle, are you right in what I said this junior?"
Liu Gan had no expression on his face and asked, "So, my nephew is here to be His Majesty's lobbyist? Is he here to persuade me to put down my power?"
"Of course not!" Guo Jinkui drank freely and freely, "My aunt said that you are a hero in this world. If it were not for my uncle, there would be no wealth and splendor for the Guo family. You are the benefactor of my family, so I should repay you with a ring of grass."
Guo Jinkui drank again, "Currently, the world is in turmoil, the current situation is turbulent, and everyone in the court is in danger. Come here today to help your uncle tide over the difficulties. When the dark clouds clear, the sky will be filled with stars."
Liu Gan laughed loudly, "Difficulties? Isn't the difficulty at hand caused by my nephew? If there is no nephew, where will I get the difficulties?"
The wine is strong and three glasses are just right.
Guo Jinkui simply drank again. After the third glass of wine, he felt dizzy and became more interested. He ignored Liu Gan's sarcasm and said sincerely, "For this trip, my nephew will give my uncle a big gift!"
"The lotus in the lake is old, but the lotus root is newly grown."
Looking at the expanse of blue waves, Liu Gan sighed sincerely, "The country never changes, but the people never come back!"
Guo Jinkui opened her mouth and asked, "A country is eternal, but people can change. Don't you want your blood to have a second spring?"
"Second spring? Haha, is it possible that my nephew wants to be a matchmaker for me? It can't be done, it can't be done, I'm old, what's in my crotch is no longer useful!"
Speaking of which, Liu Gan was still chatting and laughing, and people had to admire his calm demeanor that had been in officialdom for a long time.
Guo Jinkui was stunned for a moment, then she acted like a little girl and said to Liu Gan, "If this is true, I'm afraid my nephew's butt will be beaten into eight pieces by the family!"
"That's not the case, but if Brother Guo wants, I, as my younger brother, can turn your chrysanthemums into sunflowers!"
It was obviously a joke, but Liu Ben pretended to be serious when he spoke, not paying attention to the occasion. Hearing Guo Jinkui's back, he broke out in a cold sweat and didn't know what to say.
Liu Gan's art of talking with people lies here. When he finds that his opponent has taken the initiative in the conversation, he will always try his best to suppress the rising momentum and make a joke to change the serious conversation all of a sudden. After setting the tone, the two sides returned to the starting line.
No, originally Guo Jinkui had a slight upper hand, but Liu Gan made a few jokes and brought him back to the starting point.
After a while, Liu Gan let out a long breath and finally said, "Give me a bargaining chip that can be used to exchange for the position of Taiwei, one of the five princes. Otherwise, you think that I, who have been a Taiwei for half my life, are just because of you." Are these young people scared?"
Guo Jinkui moved slightly in her seat, pointed at Liu Bi, and said meaningfully, "The filial son!"
Liu Gan took a deep look at Liu Ben, laughed and scolded Liu Ben and said, "Go and play with your mother. Sir, why are you joining in the fun, little brat?"
Liu Ben, who was already in his thirties, pouted, "It's my father who stays, and I'm my father who leaves. My father's thoughts are really unpredictable."
Hahaha!
Loud laughter could be heard on the calm water.
