Li Wenjin's words were obviously not untargeted, and after he learned that Gao Pragmatic had gone to persuade King Lu to give up King Jing's legacy today, he had been thinking about the reason on the way to King Lu's mansion.

If Gao Pragmatic was just like those ordinary courtiers, using false names such as "Virtuous King" to persuade him, Li Wenjin would definitely be too lazy to say anything as soon as he rolled his eyes, and just directly persuaded King Lu not to deal with this kind of nonsense.

But Gao Pragmatic is obviously completely different from ordinary courtiers, although he also mentioned the "virtuous king" Yunyun, but as soon as the words changed, he immediately offered true sincerity.

If this sincerity is really according to what he said, it must be more tempting than King Jing's legacy, after all, almost no one dares to question Gao Pragmatic's business vision, even if he Li Wenjin has also made a lot of money with Gao Pragmatic, of course, he is even more confident in this.

It can be said that in Li Wenjin's eyes, as long as Gao Pragmatic sincerely believes that the small broken island will be a cornucopia in the future, then it will definitely be a cornucopia in the future.

As for why this is the case?

Well...... It doesn't matter. There are many truths in the world that I can't understand, and people are really the champions of the six heads, and it is normal to be a little smarter than yourself.

Anyway, Li Wenjin believes that Gao Pragmatic will not be willing to smash his own golden signboard, so the prospect of that small broken island - oh, it is the money scene - must be safe to be optimistic.

But Gao Qiuzhen has always had his purpose in doing things, and this purpose is best to be clear first.

Although Li Wenjin is greedy for money and has made himself a eunuch, he is actually better at thinking than his queen mother's sister. Through his observations over the years, he found that the purpose of seeking truth is sometimes set very, very far away, and may even be so far away as to pave the way for things more than ten years later.

Li Wenjin sometimes sighs that this may be the so-called "those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a moment."

Gao Pragmatic must be a person who wants to "seek eternity", after all, he is a civil official, and "seeking eternity" is also a tradition of civil officials.

It's just that in Li Wenjin's view, the pragmatic "seeking eternity" is not the same as that of ordinary civil officials, although he also values his reputation, he does not care about the so-called "iron bones" of the clear stream that ordinary civil officials value, and he seems to prefer to seek the reputation of capable ministers.

What is a capable minister? Highly talented and capable, and can do the way of ministers.

In other words, if you can do all kinds of things well, and you are very loyal, this is called a capable minister.

Liu Shouyou also wanted to buy Li Wenjin before the incident, hoping that he could give Gao Pragmatic some eye medicine in front of the Queen Mother, but Li Wenjin hardly looked like a greedy person that time, and he was indifferent in the face of tens of thousands of taels of bribes, and refused to participate at all.

It's not that Li Wenjin really changed his sex suddenly, but that he has two most basic judgments.

First, Gao Shiji's loyalty to the emperor is no problem, and he will definitely not have any disobedience like Liu Shouyou's alarmist words in front of him.

The affairs on Annan's side were originally handled by Gao Shipra, and the emperor had an agreement with him in advance, which outsiders don't know, so can he Li Wenjin not know?

Moreover, what is there to say about Gao Pragmatism's power tilt in Annan? After Xuanmiao, Daming had never been in charge of Annan's "housework", who was in charge of Annan was not in charge, if it was really a pragmatic house, it would be better than Mo Maoqia, right?

Second, Gao Pragmatism is by no means something that Liu Shouyou can bring down, and although it is not a disaster for Li Wenjin to be involved in this matter, it will definitely seriously affect his interests in Jinghua - Gao Pragmatism used to give some dry stock dividends on a certain transaction in Jinghua.

Dry stocks have always been unreliable, and if he is willing to give it to you today, he will give it; If he doesn't want to give it to you tomorrow, he won't give it. Therefore, Li Wenjin can calculate clearly without breaking his fingers, and Jinghua's side is obviously more reliable than Liu Shouyou's bribery.

What's more, Jinghua's dry stock dividends are not "fine water", last year he just took dry shares and divided nearly 12,000 taels, this kind of large stable income is not stronger than what?

As for why it is impossible for Liu Shouyou to overthrow Gao Pragmatic, Li Wenjin is not mainly considered from the perspective of Gao Pragmatic's reputation and status, he is just very aware of the importance of his emperor's nephew's trust in Gao Pragmatic. By analogy, in today's Wanli Dynasty, if you want to overthrow Gao Shishi, it is probably similar to wanting to overthrow Gao Gong in the Longqing Dynasty.

At the beginning, Xu Jie's "Manchu Dynasty inverted arch" turmoil, Gao Gong did resign and return to his hometown, but in the end? In the end, it was Xu Jie, who really left, and Gao Gong returned to the dynasty after resting at home for more than a year, opening his glorious road to "Wenzheng".

Compared with the high arch of the year, the current high pragmatism can be said to be more than that, the high arch can not fall, and the high pragmatism is of course more unlikely to fall.

What are the keys to success? It's nothing more than either being the winner yourself, or being on the side of the winner.

Li Wenjin felt that he had nothing to win and not win, so he chose to stand on the side of Gao Pragmatism, who would inevitably become the victor.

Such a mentality also affects Li Wenjin's judgment at the moment: Gao Pragmatic must have his own purpose, but he must have his bottom line, that is, he will not frame King Lu.

Why? Because if King Lu is framed, for example, if King Lu really gives up King Jing's legacy in the future, but makes himself impoverished, this will inevitably cause the emperor's dissatisfaction. Not to mention whether the emperor really feels sorry for his younger brother, at least he will definitely think that Gao Shi ruined his "view".

Gao Pragmatic would never joke with his holy family, Li Wenjin is confident in this, so he thinks that there is no big problem with Gao Pragmatic's guarantee to King Lu, the problem is just what King Lu needs to pay for this.

But this problem almost involves the major policies of the imperial court, although Li Wenjin is shrewd, but he is not very good at these, so he can't figure it out when he thinks about it.

When they relied on Li Wenjin's face to enter the Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager Cisheng heard that King Lu was coming, and was surprised to think that something big had happened, and soon came out of the Buddhist hall to meet - she was very dedicated to the Buddha, and she was still chanting scriptures in the Buddhist hall at this time.

King Lu first talked a few nonsense about missing his mother, and then said what Gao Shishi said when he went to see him today.

Empress Dowager Cisheng's sensitivity in this kind of matter was really not as good as Li Wenjin's, and her first reaction was the same as that of her son King Lu, thinking that an almost deserted island could be compared to 40,000 hectares of land, and her face sank at that time.

Fortunately, Li Wenjin knew him well enough to be the Empress Dowager's sister, so he immediately stood up and changed what he said to his nephew to the Empress Dowager Cisheng in a more tactful way.

At this moment, Empress Dowager Li hesitated, she already trusted this younger brother, not to mention that what he said did sound very reasonable.

"That'...... Wen Jin, what do you think is the meaning of Gao Pragmatic's move? Empress Dowager Li finally asked.

Li Wenjin couldn't help but groan, and he didn't answer for a long time. King Lu may have been in front of the queen mother who doted on him, but now he was a little unbreathable, and suddenly said: "Or the queen mother simply invites the royal brother to come over and say hello, Gao Pragmatic has been his companion for ten years, and his understanding of Gao Pragmatic must be far beyond others, and his son feels that he must understand Gao Pragmatic's intentions." ”

In fact, there is nothing wrong with this, but King Lu doesn't know that what Empress Dowager Li is actually worried about is whether Zhu Yijun will deliberately "shield" Gao Shipra, after all, he has a criminal record for doing this kind of thing.

So the Empress Dowager Cisheng groaned, looking a little hesitant.

But just now King Lu's words reminded Li Wenjin, Li Wenjin slapped his forehead and said: "Ah, I remember, Queen Mother, do you think there is such a possibility: Gao Shishi's intention to do this is actually not so complicated, he may just think about it for the emperor." ”

"For the emperor's sake?" Empress Dowager Li was surprised: "Where did this start, and what is the emperor's business?" ”

Li Wenjin thought that he had seen through the truth of the matter, and he looked confident, and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, the matter of King Lu's pursuit of King Jing's legacy has now caused a lot of uproar in the court, especially the household department has complained a lot about this matter, although the emperor is the supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, but the courtiers are one-sidedly opposed, of course he will also have pressure. ”

Empress Dowager Li didn't like to hear this, she lowered her face and said: "The mourning family doesn't understand what the household is doing!" King Lu always has to be rewarded after being canonized, and King Jing's legacy was originally said to be transferred to King Lu, and this matter was even discussed as early as the time of the first emperor, why didn't they oppose it at that time?

Oh, it's good now, King Lu has to be a vassal country, they jumped out at this time, saying that King Jing's legacy has been returned to the people, and King Lu can't take it! What's the matter, although the first emperor didn't have a clear decree at the beginning, but this matter is not the mourning family talking to themselves here, a large number of old ministers know about it, but now they have to regret it?

Hmph, King Lu is the view of the vassals, and now they are urging the country of King Lu to become a vassal one by one, but they don't want to take the money out, is the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty laughed at by them? What is useful to them is to do everything without departing from the word ancestral system; It's useless to them, just say that now the matter has come to this, it's not that they refuse to cooperate, but there is no way? Jokes, as soon as something happens to the court, they can't do anything, so what does the emperor want them to do! ”

These words were angry, and it seems that the Empress Dowager Cisheng was really angry with the fact that the courtiers always thought about "withholding" her son's deserved reward, so much so that "what does the emperor want them to do" came out.

But Li Wenjin is not afraid, and he doesn't mean him. Not only was he not panicked, but he was even a little secretly happy, because since the Queen Mother had such a mentality, the reason he just thought of was even more convincing.

"Queen Mother, the rights and wrongs of this matter are naturally not what the Queen Mother said, but you also know the style of those people in the outer court, they can't see the slightest benefit from the Heavenly Family, but it's not necessary to be angry with these people."

When Empress Dowager Li heard this, she snorted coldly again, but after all, it was Li Wenjin who persuaded her, so she finally didn't refute.

Li Wenjin said again: "But because of this, it is more difficult for the emperor." After all, although this matter is the fault of the courtiers, it seems that most of King Jing's legacy has already been returned, and if he wants to come back now, it will inevitably cause some noise. But it is precisely because of this that Gao Pragmatic will do this.

You think, now that the emperor is in a dilemma, he insists on returning to King Jing's legacy, and the courtiers must think that the emperor is selfish in the world, and he only has King Lu in his heart; But if you don't return to King Jing's legacy, the emperor will be said to be disregarding his brothers and relatives, and he will also displease the queen mother, because of unfilial piety - what the emperor does is wrong.

In this case, he stood up pragmatically and persuaded Lu to give up King Jing's legacy, once this matter was successful, how could the emperor not think of him? How could the courtiers not remember him? What's more, if it is really like what he said, then the island will really become a cornucopia in the future, then even King Lu and even the Queen Mother will miss him! Such a multi-pronged thing, of course, Gao pragmatic is willing to do it. ”

Hey, that makes sense.

Empress Dowager Cisheng thought for a while and nodded slightly: "What you said is reasonable...... In this case, does that mean that there is nothing bad about being pragmatic? ”

Li Wenjin nodded and said, "Yes, I think that's the case." ”

Empress Dowager Li looked at Zhu Yihua again and asked, "What do you think, can you agree?" ”

Zhu Yihua thought for a while and said, "As long as that island can really become a cornucopia, my son thinks it's okay, but it doesn't have to be King Jing's land." ”

Empress Dowager Li then nodded, and closed the coffin and said, "Okay, since you have no objections, the mourning family won't say anything here." I only hope that Wen Jin's speculation is correct, and Gao Pragmatic will really manage that small island well. ”

Li Wenjin breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This matter is ultimately decreed by the emperor, and now that there seems to be no conspiracy in it, shouldn't the emperor be informed earlier?" ”

Empress Dowager Li looked at the hourglass, nodded and said, "The emperor should not have gone to bed at this hour, and the mourning family thinks that it is not too late, so let him know him." Come on, go and talk to the emperor......"

What Empress Dowager Li didn't know was that Zhu Yijun already knew that Gao Shishi and Zhu Yihua had just met at this time, and also pointed out a way for Zhu Yihua to make a fortune. However, his judgment of high pragmatic motives is deeper than that of Li Wenjin.

In addition to not putting himself in a dilemma, he felt that Gao Pragmatic might have another purpose in doing this, that is, to use King Lu's special status as a "vassal viewer" to once again imperceptibly hope to change the usual financial management concepts of the princes of the clan.

It's not the first time Gao Pragmatic has done this kind of thing, but in the past, his goal in doing these things was not King Lu, but the Jingshi nobles - look at how many Jingshi nobles have sold land in recent years. These people are now eager to sell all the ancestral land, and then scrape together more capital to make a fortune with Jinghua.

Xungui has been doing this for many years, but the princes of the Ming Dynasty are still rarely involved. According to Zhu Yijun's understanding of Gao Shishi, he probably wanted the clan to be the same as the nobles, not to be obsessed with competing with the people for land, but to sell all the land, and then follow him to do the business of sea trade, including port rent.
