He Shen glanced at his second uncle Chang Rong speechlessly. He really didn't know how his cheap uncle could be so stingy.
"…………"
Next, to Chang Rong's surprise, He Shen's next request was beyond his imagination.
Heshen actually asked him to take away the connections and favors accumulated in the army by two generations of Niu Hulu, Erolshan and Niu Hulu, Changbao.
Looking at his second uncle Chang Rong who was full of doubts and hesitated to speak, He Shen smiled slightly and spoke.
"You want to ask, since I have such force and the ambition to control the military, why don't I take the path of a military general who has made meritorious service in the military, right?
He Shen saw through the thoughts in his second uncle Chang Rong's mind at a glance, and then pointed it out unceremoniously.
When the second uncle Chang Rong heard this, he nodded subconsciously and said yes.
When he came to his senses, his face turned red, feeling very embarrassed.
"Hehe, I guess all my second uncle can think about now is that the Green Camp Army is full of my grandfather and my father's trusted subordinates."
"If I follow the path of a military general and hang out in the army, it will be a piece of cake for me to rise to the top and rise to the top..."
"You can even rein in your horse and become a waiter when you are a teenager, right?"
………
"Well, isn't that true?
Second uncle Chang Rong heard the strangeness in He Shen's words and looked over with a strange expression.
"Hey, if this road is really so easy, why don't you take it yourself, uncle?"
"Is it because, second uncle, you were afraid of death, so you didn't join the army?"
He Shen did not rush to explain, but directly ridiculed his second uncle Chang Rong for his greed for life and fear of death, which made his second uncle Chang Rong very angry.
"I am already in my 40s and 50s. When I do things, I only think about the present and not the future."
"Second uncle, you don't have to think about it. If I were to become a general, it would go very smoothly. After decades of hard work, I would become a great official."
"A family of Three Kingdoms, Three Generations and Three Dukes. Does our family want to be Wang Mang, who usurped the Han Dynasty and established himself on his own, or does he want to be Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, who succeeded the Zhou Dynasty and established the Sui Dynasty..."
"Can the man in the palace feel at ease when faced with this situation?"
Looking at the stunned second uncle Chang Rong, He Shen's eyes were full of contempt.
After sneering, he was too lazy to say any more and let the good second uncle guess the rest.
After what He Shen said, his second uncle Chang Rongrong was instantly taken into the ditch.
Following He Shen's inference, his second uncle Chang Rong made some brainstorming on his own. After a brainstorm, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
Immediately, the way he looked at He Shen changed.
No wonder my little nephew, with his amazing martial arts, chose to pursue a career in education and officialdom like him. It turned out that he was worried about this...
"…………"
"Father..."
At this moment, Chang Rong was in a daze and his mood was extremely complicated.
What his nephew Heshen said today reminded him of an old incident from decades ago, which made the hairs on his body stand on end and made him feel cold.
Back then, when I was young, I chose to give up martial arts and pursue literature. Everyone in my family opposed it. Only my old father, Niu Hulu Orolshan, stood on my side and chose to give full support.
After decades of this matter, Chang Rong still didn’t understand why his old father, Niu Hulu Orolshan, stood on his side in the first place...
Worthy of being the first-generation duke of the country, Niu Hulu Orolshan was indeed extraordinary. He actually had a glimpse of the emperor's thoughts early...
The eldest son is a martial artist, and the second son is a civil servant. Both sides have treasures, which can be said to be deep-minded and scheming.
And under the protection of his father and brother, he was like an ignorant person who didn't know a thing, doing everything that seemed smart but was actually stupid.
"…………"
It is said that traveling in the martial arts world is the most dangerous, but who knows that the martial arts world is just a temporary place for temples and courts!
The temples and courts are the truly vast ocean and a complete country.
The temple court is cruel, with its own unique rules of survival and elimination. Its gameplay is strange and strange, but the ultimate goal is only one, which is to kill political opponents.
There is only life and death between political opponents, and there is no middle choice. Those who survive will always be prosperous and have great power, while those who die will not even have anyone to help collect their bones!
In the imperial court, the high-ranking official of the Eight-Tiled Bridge is not so easy to be in. If he is not careful, he may be in danger of capsizing...
As for the consequences of capsizing, most of them would be the death of their families, ruined reputations, or even the death of all nine clans.
The imperial court is not as good as imagined. Standing on top of the court, calculations, digging holes, assassinations, poisonings and other things happen all the time...
If you want to survive in the big dye vat of the imperial court, you must learn to be cruel. People who are not cruel will become corpses.
Whether they are corrupt officials who are extremely greedy or honest officials who are dedicated to the public good, they all have a steelyard in their hearts to weigh the situation and the pros and cons.
The boundaries between black and white were very blurred in the imperial court, or it could be said that there had never been real light and complete darkness.
In terms of weighing the situation, pros and cons, honest officials are often better able to grasp the subtle differences than corrupt officials.
Because since ancient times, there have been many corrupt officials and few honest officials. When faced with a large group of corrupt officials, if honest officials want to gain a foothold in the court, they often have to outsmart corrupt officials.
In fact, there was no imperial court in this world originally. It was only with the existence of people, the birth of the concept of the upper and lower pyramids, and the emergence of the concept of emperor that the so-called imperial court came into being.
Since the formation of the imperial court, its rules have never changed. The high officials above the imperial court still follow the power game of survival of the fittest.
"Do you understand? My good second uncle..."
Looking at the extremely serious expression of his second uncle Chang Rong, He Shen almost couldn't help laughing, but on the surface he said it seriously.
"…………"
Second uncle Chang Rong replied with a complex expression: "I figured it out, of course I figured it out."
The two generations before and after the He Mansion have produced two generals in the army. If a third one emerges, and he is still very young, only in his teens...
Emperor Qianlong in the palace will definitely not be able to sleep peacefully. Hefu may be in danger of overthrowing at any time.
The butt determines the head. As a member of the family, after hearing this, the second uncle Chang Rong couldn't help but nodded silently, feeling extremely heavy.
However, when he thought about it again, Chang Rong felt that he had been fooled again.
"…………"
"If you don't follow the path of becoming a military general, what's the use of the connections and favors in the army..."
"You little old man, you lied to me again..."
When he thought of this, the second uncle Chang Rong's heart suddenly ignited with raging anger. He stared at He Shen who was drinking tea leisurely and said angrily.
"Since you can't develop in the military, why do you ask me for connections and favors in the military?"
………
"Haha, my good second uncle, no matter how stupid a person is, he can't be this stupid."
"Although I can't personally use these connections and favors to become kings and prime ministers, I can give them to other people around me, or use them as bargaining chips to make deals with others..."
He Shen's words were extremely sharp, and his second uncle Chang Rong was very angry as soon as he opened his mouth.
"…………"
"Forget it, forget it, if that's the case, let's settle it like this."
For the benefit of that gold and silver mountain, his second uncle Chang Rong endured many humiliations from his nephew.
He Shen heard this and stretched out his hand with a smile. He high-fived his second uncle Chang Rong and made an agreement.
The second uncle Chang Rong was responsible for persuading his mother, Mrs. Hua, to hand over the military connections and favors she held, while He Shen handed over 10% of the shares of Qiao Gong Pavilion to the second uncle Chang Rong.
"…………"
Seeing that the Jinshan Yinshan business was concluded, the second uncle Chang Rong could not help but secretly heave a sigh of relief.
Unknowingly, the expectations in his heart had been greatly reduced, and there was no arrogance like the lion's mouth before.
"…………"
"Okay, okay, the business is settled, and I'm not interested in talking to you any more, Uncle Second!"
After discussing the business, Heshen put down his tea cup, got up and left without any hesitation.
When he was leaving, he turned back and warned: "By the way, Second Uncle, I respect you as my elder, that's why I tolerate you so much. You should be more careful in the future.
After saying that, Heshen ignored the embarrassed expression on his second uncle Chang Rong's face and left here in a cool manner.
"…………"
As for the second uncle Chang Rong, after finally calming down his turbulent thoughts, he immediately hurried back to He Mansion, found his old mother Hua Laotaijun, and told him what happened this time.
…………
"The eldest son Chang kept is really not a simple person. Although he is an unfilial descendant..."
"However, to a certain extent, it can also be said that a young man has a mature mind and a demon-like mind..."
"Since you have promised your nephew to exchange the military connections and favors inherited from two generations for the 10% of the shares, then you can exchange it..."
"I'm getting old, I have no energy anymore, and I don't want to take care of things between you anymore..."
After hearing what her second son said, the white-haired Mrs. Hua hesitated for a long time and sighed.
"…………"
the other side!
Suburban villa.
"Brother is here, no more competition, no more competition..."
After He Shen finished the work at hand, he returned directly to his base camp.
At this time, He Lin, who was wrestling with a group of big men in the open space of the manor, immediately started yelling when she saw her brother He Shen again.
The group of big men standing around stopped immediately after hearing He Lin's words.
"..."
"Brother, nothing happened during this trip, right?"
On He Lin's side, after several years of careful maintenance, her body has obviously improved a lot, her horseback riding and archery are not difficult at all, and her mental state has obviously improved a lot.
"It's okay, it's okay. The person who can take advantage of your brother hasn't been born yet?"
He Shen waved his hand, walked inside, patted He Lin on the shoulder, and said, "Let's go in first and then talk!"
