After Shen Hao said these words, Wang Jian was immediately stunned and started to think about it in his mind.
Shen Hao didn't urge him, he just picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip, then smiled, lowered his head and continued reading the document in his hand, leaving Wang Jian to ponder it by himself.
After a while, Wang Jian finally thought about it. A chill flashed across his eyes, and then he suppressed it. For once he felt the gap between himself and Master Shen. While he was still focusing on "people", Master Shen's eyes had already fallen on "things". Everyone rotates for "things". If something happens to someone, they will be replaced.
That's why Mr. Shen said, "No one is indispensable."
Such cold words immediately tore through Wang Jian's doubts just now. You will understand naturally if you think about it.
"Sir, are you saying that Bai Changqing's business can be abandoned? Should the plan be re-determined?" Although Wang Jian had already figured out a rough idea in his mind, he did not dare to say it with certainty. He still wanted to let Mr. Shen do the talking. , it’s best for him to be on the side.
Shen Hao raised his head and glanced at Wang Jian, then lowered his head and continued busy with what he was doing, saying, "Bai Changqing can't just give up, but just change the target from him to Cao Guobang.
Haha, you don’t want to deal with Bai Changqing as well, right? Wang Jian, I can tell you that although Bai Changqing has some minor problems, he is still a good official, and he is a capable minister favored by His Majesty. If you dare to act recklessly with your eyes closed, I will send you away. Support Bai Changqing. "
Although Shen Hao was smiling and talking, the dagger-like look in his eyes made Wang Jian understand that his master was not joking. If he really dared to mess around, he would definitely be sent to Bai Changqing's back. .
What is a backrest? That is, when being buried, a living person is placed in the coffin, then a birthday quilt is spread, and finally the dead person is placed on the birthday quilt. The living person is called the one who supports the back, or the one who supports the coffin. In fact, it means to be buried with others, but more cruel.
"My subordinates must not dare to mess around." Although he did not admit it or dared to admit it, Wang Jian's heart did want to deal with it together with Bai Changqing and the Xu sisters. Because in this way, it is easy to link the Xu sisters' identities to those related to a photo studio or evil monks, and even block the possibility of the Xu sisters revealing their identities.
Don't think that Bai Changqing is not afraid of people because of his low status. As long as Heishui wants to mess with him, and the identity of the Xu family sisters is already untenable, they know the basics and only need to change some details to take the blame. Even if Bai Changqing doesn't If Ye Lansheng ends up like him, he will definitely step down from the position of Minister of Household Affairs. After a few more years, when the news is over, the lives of Bai Changqing and his family can be wiped out with just a raise of his hand?
But now that Shen Hao had frightened him, Wang Jian no longer dared to think so.
When Shen Hao saw Wang Jian's expression, he knew what his confidant and general was thinking. Whether it's Blackwater or Black Flag Camp, they all follow shady ways and use underhanded methods that don't make sense. Over time, you will naturally form a habit, and when encountering problems, you should always follow the principle of "cutting off the roots without leaving any future troubles."
But Shen Hao knows very well that cutting off the roots without leaving any troubles will lead to points, and he has to stick to the bottom line. We can't act haphazardly, let alone treat the emperor like a fool.
There is nothing wrong with Bai Changqing. Putting aside his petty thoughts, he is very upright in matters of right and wrong. Shen Hao could not do such a thing to get rid of the dignified Minister of Household Affairs just because of Heishui's plan, and his subordinates were not allowed to do this. Therefore, the word "backing up" was used to use a cruel warning to stop the uneasiness in Wang Jian's heart.
"If you really don't dare, then it's best, otherwise you will regret it when you are used as a backstop." After a pause, Shen Hao then changed the subject and said, "Bai Changqing's side is not stable now. Left Prime Minister It no longer suited him. So the previous plan needed to be changed.”
"Sir, that Cao Guobang is..."
"Cao Guobang is very lucky. Isn't he sitting in the position of left prime minister now? Even if he was helping Lu Liang occupy the position before, can he at least say that he is half secure now? If we don't mess with him, we can help him again. One handful, do you think he can sit firmly on the remaining half of his butt?"
"If the Lord takes action, Cao Guobang will definitely be secure. However, Cao Guobang has never had any contact with our Black Flag Camp, and has deliberately kept a distance from us. If he secures his position as left prime minister, it seems that he will not be of any concern to us. What's the benefit? Do you think you can try Bai Changqing's side again to see if you can save the situation?"
Wang Jian's thoughts became faster. Since Bai Changqing was not allowed to be dealt with along with the Xu sisters, in his opinion, Cao Guobang was more difficult to deal with than Bai Changqing. The former at least had some foreshadowing, while the latter was still in trouble. If you don't make progress, it's better to think of a solution on Bai Changqing.
"If your dog wants to bite its owner, no matter whether it bites or not, the dog can't take it anymore. Heishui, you guys, should be ready to deal with the mess next to Bai Changqing as soon as possible. Bai Changqing can't move, and don't What's left behind?
As for Cao Guobang, he did deliberately keep his distance from us, but didn’t he like to pick up ashes? It's easier to deal with a sanctimonious person. Can't you just treat him as an informant with a higher status? "
Treat...Cao Guobang as an informant? !
Although Wang Jian guessed some of Master Shen's thoughts, he never expected that Master Shen would say such strong words. Anyway, even if he killed Wang Jian, he wouldn't be able to compare the informant with a top-level temple boss like Cao Guobang.
"Sir, is this...appropriate?" Wang Jian understood that Master Shen meant to use Cao Guobang's scandal to blackmail the other party, obtain some information exchange, or let Cao Guobang give priority to inform the Black Flag Battalion on some matters. .
This method, which looks like cooperation but is actually coercion or even coercion, can be used on a big boss like Cao Guobang? If the opponent finds an opportunity to counterattack, it will definitely be a huge blow to Black Flag Battalion that can be as severe as breaking bones.
"Appropriate? It was originally inappropriate. After all, Cao Guobang is now the left prime minister. Using his scandal to threaten him can make him temporarily compromise, but he must have a grudge in his heart. Once he gets a handle on it, it will easily backfire.
However, Cao Guobang's age makes these backlash possibilities less likely. do you understand me? "
When Wang Jian heard the word "age", he was convinced. He nodded quickly to show that he understood.
Indeed, if we only look at Cao Guobang's identity, it is not advisable to use this kind of blackmail method to control Cao Guobang for a long time, and the risk of backlash is also very high. But taking into account Cao Guobang's age, it's a big difference.
Cao Guobang is now in his nineties. Even if his body is strong and he has pills to keep his mind clear, how many years can he still work? The maximum is five years, and the minimum is three or two years. This time is not long, and it is not easy to seize the opportunity to counterattack the Black Flag Camp.
In addition, looking at it the other way around, Cao Guobang will be almost retired in just three or two years, and will have no power at all by then. Does he really dare to form a deadly feud with Black Flag Camp during this period of time? Aren't you afraid of being miserable for the rest of your life?
