Chapter 202 Fish and bear's paw, I want to have both
The spring breeze in February is like scissors. It is the most comfortable season in Handan. The willows on the clumps droop down their tender branches, and the farmland outside the city is full of millet seedlings. However, the warmth and coldness are coming, but the hearts are cut into pieces.
The news of King Xiang of Qi finally reached Handan. As his own sister, Empress Dowager Zhao was naturally sad. Although the two had not met for more than 20 years, they were the flesh and blood of a mother and Empress Dowager Zhao was not in good health. When she heard that the king's brother had gone, she was inevitably sad. Empress Yan had to delay her return to Yan State and accompanied Empress Dowager Zhao in the palace to relieve her tragedy.
Mingyue also got a news from Housheng: Tian Jia was under house arrest in the palace and was about to be granted marriage, so she had to delay time using the excuse of filial piety for King Xiang of Qi.
"I knew that she was named princess by King Xiang of Qi, and there was nothing good about it!"
After learning about this, Mingyue was naturally shocked and angry. He immediately summoned his confidants to discuss countermeasures.
"If it really doesn't work, the young master sent a team of people to rob it in the name of mourning!"
Zhao Kuo was not Mingyue's subordinate, but they had experienced life and death together, and their relationship was very good, like a sworn brother. After returning from attacking Yan, he was newly appointed and wanted to be a lieutenant under Xu Li, the commander of Taiyuan County State Guard. He came to say goodbye to Chang'an Jun that day, and happened to encounter this matter, so he naturally actively participated.
When Zhao Kuo heard that the woman Chang'an Jun was attracted to was detained by the royal family of Qi, he was anxious and said, "At worst, let the queen mother send Shu Qi again. We three of us will make a big fuss again!" Although his personality has been much restrained, his arrogance and recklessness when encountering problems has not changed.
As the leader of the martial arts mansion of Chang'an Junfu, Lu Goujian also asked: "Does of light knights in the mansion are willing to be sent by the prince! In order to regain the mistress, we are willing to fight to death!"
The two of them were excited, but Cai Ze on the side shook his head: "Absurd, the palace of Qi is very cautious. If a group of unfamiliar internal knights could enter and exit at will, the head of the Qi King would have been cut off hundreds of times!"
He pointed to Lu Goujian and others and said, "If you act rashly, you are ruining the great affairs of the young master! The young master went to trouble for the country and broke the blame. He finally adjusted the relationship between Yan, Zhao and Qi. It doesn't matter if the matter is successful or not, he is giving Qi an excuse to rebel against Zhao. Now that the king of Qi is newly lost and his empress dowager is in a sensitive period of diplomatic relations. Prince, Cai Ze, will tell the truth today. Is the young master who does big things, or should he put family and country ambition first and children ambition lightly..."
As soon as this said, Zhao Kuo was furious: "You six-foot-foot-old man, what are you talking nonsense! How can you bear this great humiliation by your son?" "Brother Kuo, don't be impatient." At this time, Chang'an Jun, who had not spoken for a long time, finally spoke.
After appeased Zhao Kuo, he turned his head and said to Cai Ze: "Sir, this is a bad word!"
...
Mingyue didn't say anything in advance, just informed them of the news, and then waited for everyone to give him suggestions. During this period, he gradually had his own power and also learned a little bit of the art of governing the subordinates by the previous life: What decision makers should do is not to make any tendency suggestions before listening to the opinions of their subordinates, in order to obtain the true ideas of their subordinates, so as to listen to both sides and firmly grasp the decisions...
But when all the ministers put forward their ideas, he had to make a decision and express his attitude in time!
Mingyue's position was very firm. He said to Cai Ze seriously: "I am a nostalgic person. The daughter of Tian's family saved my life in Linzi. Before leaving Qi, I also made a vow with her. She said, "Life and death are bound by my son, and I said, hold my hand and grow old with her... How can I sigh Xunxi because of this matter, I don't believe me?"
"Besides, the gentleman always said that he should put great things first, but this matter is an extremely important matter in my life. As a man, if he can't even protect his woman who belongs to him, then what are the family, country and the world? What kind of ideals and ambitions? Duke Wen of Jin dominated the Central Plains and never let down Qi Jiang and Ji Wei; even if the witch ministers of Chu were good at dancing among the princes, they never let down Xia Ji. The lady of Tian is my good spouse, but please rest assured, I will not delay the opportunity to do great things because of my children, nor will I use ambition as an excuse to let her down. In this case, the gentleman must not say anything again in the future!"
Cai Ze was slightly stunned. The words just now were originally because he deliberately inspired Chang'an Jun to see how he would choose when he faced a choice between emotion and reason. Is it an ordinary person who forgot his career because of a woman, or a cold-blooded monarch who would abandon everything for his career?
The former is destined to be a big deal and not worthy of assistance, while the latter is worthy of assistance, but it must be reserved and pay attention to the fate of being a subject.
As a result, Chang'an Jun said that he wants it all!
During this round and time, Cai Ze had some contours of Chang'an Jun's attitude and temperament.
As the counselor of the lord, Cai Ze must analyze the pros and cons for him with a rational attitude and help him make ruthless and unrighteous choices, so that he can give up everything and climb to the peak of power. But deep in his heart, he also hopes that the lord will still retain a little human touch in this cruel world? After all, no one wants to fall into the situation where a cunning rabbit dies or a lackey is cooked.
Cai Ze couldn't help but smile and said, "You want to have both fish and bear's paw?"
"Yes!" Mingyue bowed to Cai Ze: "I went to find a way to make it, but I fell into the rut and was dying fish. I can't give up. I just know my greed, but I hope my husband can help me achieve this greed!" "The Lord's thoughts, the ministers understood... "Cai Ze laughed like a relief: "Didn't our counselors and counselors just exist to make the impossible possible? What should we do about this matter? Let me think about it carefully."
At this moment, Cai Ze understood Mingyue's intentions, and he began to think formally. Lu Goujian next to him was out of patience and began to clamor for robbery of Qi again. Cai Ze said: "The superior troops attack the plan, secondly attack the diplomatic forces, secondly attack the troops, secondly attack the city, and below attack the city. If this matter is a battle, using force is similar to the worst strategy of siege, and success is not enough to defeat the city!"
Mingyue knew that Cai Ze had something to do, so she asked, "What is the best strategy for that sir?"
Cai Ze touched his sparse beard and said, "Young Master, can you tell me that when Wu and Yue were fighting, Wen Zhong offered a seven-strategic strategy to King Goujian of Yue?"
Mingyue nodded: "For these seven strategies of doctor Zhong, Goujian, King of Yue, used three strategies, but Wu was already dead."
Cai Ze smiled and said, "The sixth strategy is to leave his flattering ministers and make them easy to attack... When King Goujian of Yue came to Wu as a minister, Fuchai still hated his hatred for killing his father, but he just wanted to humiliate him. Wu Zixu always wanted to kill him. This situation was a must-have death, but it was reversed by Wen Zhong and Fan Li. The key is that the ministers of Yue State bribed Bo Jing, the most trusted Bo Jing, the King of Wu. Bo Jing repeatedly spoke to King Yue for the sake of King Yue, and King Wu finally let Gou Jian gou Jian gou!"
"Please think about who the person who delivered the message for the lady of Tian's family is, what status he has in Qi State, and how important it is in the mind of the queen! I'm afraid he is no less than the Boss of Wu State back then!"
Mingyue suddenly realized: "Mr. I mean, let me continue to make a fuss about Housheng and make him a lie in Qi?" "Yes!" Cai Ze picked up his palm: "This matter may not improve the situation, but it is different to let the closest people around the Queen lobby. According to the Lord, Housheng has always been greedy for money, and the Lord deliberately made friends when he was in Linzi, which gave him a lot of benefits and made him feel good about the taste. Now, it is time to use him. Isn't he sending messages for the lady of Tian family? Isn't it also the return of the young master?"
Mingyue felt the clouds clear and the mist dissipated. She stood up and laughed, "Thank you, sir, I will prepare all the gifts and let you go to Linzi..."
But he frowned again: "Boe has it, but I don't know where Fan Li and Wen Zhong are?"
After saying that, he looked at Cai Ze: "Sir, are you willing to take a trip to Linzi for me?"
Cai Ze was stunned, but then realized that if this matter was done, he would be the hero who would rely on throughout his life and the benefactor who would be grateful to the future mistress throughout her life. He said, "I will live up to my mission!"
"Okay, I'll let Lu Goujian go with him!"
Cai Ze hesitated a little more: "However, I hope that the young master will prepare Qi Zhen and play with good things. It is best to be the only Linglang treasure in the world. In this way, Hou Sheng is greedy and spares no effort to run for the Lord! If this can be done, even if he is asked to persuade the queen and take the initiative to marry the lady of Tian to the young master, it is not impossible. Compared with the situation of death and lifelessness of King Goujian of Yue, the current situation is simply not worth mentioning!"
There are many brags here, but Mingyue still chose to trust Cai Ze, but this time it would be a difficult problem to give Hou Sheng a lot of benefits. When he was in Qi, whenever he had something to ask for, Hou Sheng was asking for more and more bribes. Now that he has been in a big business in Qi, he is probably going to be a step further. It seems that this time, he will not be able to do anything without bleeding...
So Mingyue gritted her teeth, slapped the table, went out, and said to the priest who was waiting outside: "Tell me quickly Xu Ping and Lu Sheng, let them bring me the newly made 白杯典典典典典典典典典典典典典典典典典典典典典典典�
