Don't fight back after being beaten?
This is quite difficult...
What's more, Cao An's character is bound to retaliate for his anger. If you want him not to remember his old evil, it must be that the other party is already dead.
Zhao Zhen frowned slightly: "Are you so sure of winning?"
"why not?"
There were no outsiders around, so Cao An's tone was much more casual: "Besides, I have no other choice! I can only go forward through all the thorns, without stopping, let alone retreating!"
Zhao Zhen sighed: "You are too radical."
"maybe……"
Cao An stood beside him and said with a wry smile: "I have experienced a disaster, and I have lived a new life! I understand that there is no such thing as the best of both worlds in this world!"
If I want to survive, I can't back down.
The other party will not be soft-hearted because of your begging for mercy, on the contrary! They will trample on you more recklessly.
No one is afraid of a cowardly enemy.
Only by being tougher can your opponents dare not underestimate you.
"Why? When the Cao family was... everyone was very angry! But you can't just make enemies everywhere, right?"
Zhao Zhen felt that Cao An was already on top.
All he sees are enemies.
I am afraid that except for Fan Zhongyan who can make him show his sincerity, in his eyes, everyone else is a target that may start a war at any time, including Lu Yijian!
"But Chen's enemies are not them."
"Who is that?"
Zhao Zhen was a little confused, why do you have so many enemies?
People who live in ivory towers will never understand why the people in the slums fight to their death for a bite to eat.
In Zhao Zhen's mind, everything is beautiful.
Even if some evil appears occasionally, justice will eventually prevail! He always believes that this Song Dynasty is bright and can solve all bad things!
What a simple baby!
Cao An felt a little sad. He felt that it was time for this kind little emperor to see the real world.
He collected his thoughts and asked unabashedly: "Guan Jia, do you think... with my current strength, if I want to take revenge on Yang Huaimin, he is his opponent?"
"I'm afraid I can't."
Zhao Zhen nodded seriously.
Children are just innocent, not stupid.
Living under the nourishment of power, he is familiar with the machinations and tricks, and he understands that in the face of power, all conspiracies and tricks are in vain!
Cao An is now in the position of You Sijian, and he is under the sect of Lu Yijian.
He also had Zhao Yunsheng to protect him, including the clan dignitaries, who had been making money from the Cao Chamber of Commerce for more than half a year.
Based on the above relationships, Cao An now has the ability to take revenge!
"yes!"
Cao An said with a somewhat self-deprecating smile: "If I use some means to take revenge on Yang Huaimin, it must not be difficult! But what happens next?"
"what do you want to say?"
Zhao Zhen frowned.
"Yang Huaimin is nothing, just a demoted chamberlain, and he is not expected to make waves! But he represents the position of quite a few powerful people."
"..."
Zhao Zhen gradually stared and his expression became serious.
Cao An saw this and continued: "These people wanted to reshuffle the cards, so they used various means to push the Cao family into a place of no return!"
"you……"
Zhao Zhen hesitated for a moment, his expression a little ugly.
He knew what Cao An wanted to say, but he didn't want to accept this reality. As the king of a country, he had reason to believe that the Song Dynasty was black and white.
But Cao An's words ruthlessly shattered his fantasy.
"So, officials."
Cao An ignored his emotions and sighed: "They have never targeted the Cao family, but the party struggle! The Cao family has fallen, but the party struggle is still there! As long as the court is unstable, they will not stop tossing! They are not angry because of Yang Huaimin, but because of their position!"
When Cao Lili was still alive, he was an emperor faction through and through.
Not to mention his selfish motives, just this stance will inevitably lead to counterattacks from many people.
Zhao Zhen blinked sentimentally and said with emotion: "Prime Minister Cao is a loyal minister!"
"Thank you for the official compliment."
Cao An bowed his hand in a neutral manner.
Because he never thinks that loyal minister is a complimentary word, but it is a sad word, as if people who have been associated with these two words in the past have not ended well in the end.
"I have always thought that although they have some selfish motives, they are still loyal... The Song Dynasty has not been ashamed of them, why should it be like this?"
What should I say in response to what you said?
There was a bit of disdain in Cao An's eyes: "You can't stop your greed! No one will think that their rights are small, they will only push forward..."
Zhao Zhen didn't notice Cao An's attitude, but looked ahead slightly helplessly.
"Is it greed?"
There is no doubt that he was a benevolent emperor.
And this kind of character is also inseparable from his living environment...
When Zhenzong was still alive, he would hold it in his mouth for fear of melting.
Sure enough, one seedling in a thousand hectares of land!
Zhao Zhen, who grew up in such a living environment, has hardly experienced any wind and rain, which has led to his meek character and always being so indecisive.
His kindness is not innate, but his outlook determines his character.
"It's a pity that I can't deal with them now!"
Slowly, light slowly appeared in Zhao Zhen's eyes: "If I, the Great Song Dynasty, can make the decision, I will definitely not let these scum trouble the court again."
just you?
But pull it down!
Cao An cursed in his heart.
'Renzong' is indeed a very friendly temple name.
But judging from these two words, to put it bluntly, it means kindness and generosity, which proves that you are a good person... But does the emperor need kindness?
The emperor is wise and decisive, and works hard to govern!
Throughout Zhao Zhen's decades in office, he did pretty well in the early days.
Benefiting from its generous and benevolent style, the Song Dynasty also ushered in the most glorious moment in history, and achieved brilliant results in culture, commerce, economy, folk customs, and foreign trade!
But are these enough for a country?
As the leader of a country, he has no determination and courage. He only gives in tactfully when encountering problems. He cannot even implement internal reforms smoothly, so that his long-term illness becomes deeper!
Of course, Xiao Zhao cannot be entirely blamed for this.
After all, several generations of emperors in the Song Dynasty were responsible for this matter. If you have to find someone to take the blame, it would be a stretch...
"so……"
Cao An changed his mind and said slyly: "Since I entered the court, I have only learned two words!"
"What?"
"Take advantage of the situation!"
Cao An said extremely seriously: "I know my own abilities very well. If there is no one to help me, I am afraid that I will be eliminated long ago! So I have to take advantage of the situation... before I become strong, I must not be too arrogant."
"You are taking advantage of the situation now!"
Zhao Zhen gradually understood and said easily: "You deliberately provoked the two forces to fight openly and secretly. In the end, someone will naturally avenge you!"
to be honest……
Yang Huaimin was easy to get rid of, but the consequences were unpredictable.
It's better to fan the flames and let these big guys fight on their own, he can still achieve his goal.
Cao An nodded and said with a smile: "To use a folk saying: We can wear pants as big as our butt is! We can't do things that are beyond our ability."
