Chapter 375: Don't be the king

Obviously, Wang Zhiren is clear about Wu Zheng's temperament, and after cooperating for so long, Wang Zhiren is still very accurate in seeing people.

"Wu Zheng, I'll be twenty or thirty years older than you, right?" Wang Zhiren sighed, "Now the situation is different, unless you have a real grasp of it, you can completely eradicate and eradicate them, otherwise it is better not to move them, and move the whole body with one shot, these literati are famous, which knee is not a student all over the world?" Whichever one you move, you will pour a bowl of ink on your reputation. Listen to my brother's words and put it down for the time being. When the situation changes in the future, how to deal with it is all in your thoughts, so why rush for a while? It is not too late for the so-called gentleman to take revenge for ten years, let alone with your power, why ten years? ”

In the current situation, we can only be gentle, paraphrase a sentence from later generations, unite all forces that can be united, seek common ground while reserving differences, and make every effort to survive.

Wu Zheng understood that he could not lose Wang Zhiren's support.

Wang Zhiren persuaded to put it down.

The Buddha also said, let go.

So Wu Zheng could only let go.

Wang Zhiren looked at Wu Zheng's changing face, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Wu Zheng, the old brother has one last word." That's not king. ”

Don't be king.

This is Wang Zhiren's last appeal.

With Wu fighting for the glory of recovering the nine mansions, welcoming the imperial court to return to the capital, especially the credit of recovering Nanjing, it is enough to crown the king.

It can be said that without Wu Zheng, this group of monarchs and ministers would have been dry bones under the Qing army's saber, or floating on the sea to establish a government in exile.

But now, Wang Zhiren persuaded him not to be called king.

"Wu Zheng, you got up too fast, your foundation is not strong, and if you are not careful, you will never recover." Wang Zhiren said bitterly, "A king who is too young and has no foundation is the target of everyone." Listen to the old brother, the public throne of the Jin Kingdom, as long as you have real power in your hands, you can want the throne whenever you want, don't ruin yourself for a false name. ”

Wang Zhiren was full of sincerity, but Wu Zheng didn't believe it.

This is indeed true, Taizu asked Zhu Sheng, and Zhu Sheng replied like this, "Build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become king." ”

Later generations of Grandpa Mao also said something similar.

Since they have all said or adopted it, they can't be wrong.

But Wu Zheng knew that Wang Zhiren also had his own careful thoughts.

If he is crowned king, supplemented by the strength in his hands now, it can be described as a monstrous power, which is enough to break people's hearts for an old prince, from the current boss to a subordinate.

This is not the most important thing, the important thing is that with a boss like Wu Zheng, Wang Zhiren will definitely worry that the forces in his hands will be swallowed up by Wu Zheng.

This is also the point that Wang Zhiren is most worried about, and it is also the reason why he was almost fooled by Chen Zilong this time and stood on the opposite side of Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng still nodded in agreement, he felt that Wang Zhiren was right, and "slow to be the king" was also Wu Zheng's own idea.

"I agree."

Wang Zhiren smiled, smiled with satisfaction, Wu Zheng agreed to three in a row, to his surprise, Wang Zhiren was even ready, as long as Wu Zheng did not embarrass Zhu Yihai and the ministers, he could even agree to Wu Zheng to be the king.

This is not that Wang Zhiren's mind has reached the level of a sage, but that Wang Zhiren wants to quell this civil strife as soon as possible, and there are no eggs under the nest, Wang Zhiren understands it very well.

But now that Wu Zhengsao agreed, Wang Zhiren was pleasantly surprised, but also understood that Wu Zhengli must ask for something.

Naturally, it should be reciprocated.

Wang Zhiren gradually restrained his smile and treated each other squarely.

When it came to his status, Wang Zhiren knew very well in his heart that there was no free lunch in the world.

The conditions that Wu Zheng is about to put forward will never be light, even heavier than what he mentioned, and he needs to concentrate and face it.

Laughing, Wu Zheng smiled brightly.

Because Wang Zhiren's request is over, it is his turn.

Although Wang Zhiren's request touched Wu Zheng's bottom line, it was not broken, and Wu Zheng could accept it.

"Xingguo Gong is a lot older, and he can't let you specialize in beauty, so it's disrespectful to you."

These words made Wang Zhiren break out in a cold sweat in his heart.

The words are beautiful, and there is reason, as a junior like Wu Zheng, deliberately giving in, it is equivalent to slapping Wang Zhiren in the face.

Don't let it, it's respect.

But the strength mastered by Wu Zheng, a junior junior, is extraordinary, how can Wang Zhiren not gasp?

Wu Zheng was very humble and got up to speak, "Xingguo Gong has made three suggestions for Wu Zheng to be empowered. The so-called talking with you is better than reading a book for ten years! All right...... Then I will only make three suggestions. ”

"Jinghai is please." Wang Zhiren was nervous, and even changed his title.

"Limit the power of the monarch and reorganize the cabinet."

Wang Zhiren gasped, he opened his mouth to tell the difference, but Wu Zheng raised his hand to stop him.

Wang Zhiren could only shut up and sit down slowly.

This is not Wu Zheng's rudeness, but the rules.

I agreed to what you proposed, so you must also agree to what I proposed, at least, you have to let me finish first.

That's the rule.

"King Lu is not the face of the lord, he should no longer stay in the court, and the prince will keep it...... Let him go to Hangzhou Mansion. ”

Wang Zhiren's face changed, and he asked Zhu Yihai to go to Hangzhou Mansion, what is the difference between that and imprisonment?

But thinking about it on the other hand, if this close branch of the royal family stays in Yingtianfu any longer, it is indeed not a matter, this is equivalent to putting a salted fish in front of a group of cats, who can resist the temptation? It is a tragedy to cause support and persuasion, and public and private.

Therefore, although Wang Zhiren changed color, he did not mean to object, but slightly bowed his head.

Wu Zheng's smile was even stronger.

Wang Zhiren's heart began to tremble.

"Xingguo Gong is really a capable minister, in just two months, the new water trainer has already looked good, although it is not a strong force, but it is enough to deal with these landlubbers who don't know water in the north Jianyu, and you can also practice while fighting."

When Wang Zhiren heard this, he changed color, but he quickly returned to normal.

Also, Wang Zhiren had already expected this, Wu Zheng asked him to be the water master on his behalf, and he knew that sooner or later there would be this day, after all, the money and food spent were all paid by others.

But Wang Zhiren was lucky after all, this sailor poured too much effort into him, draining sixty percent of the veterans in the original sailor division.

It's not that Wang Zhiren is stupid, but he has a little bit of the same way with Wu Zheng, that is, he can't go down to the Qing Dynasty again, not to mention that the Qing court will not accept him, and even he himself can't pass this level in his heart.

Because of this, Wang Zhiren even cared more about the rise and fall and survival of the imperial court than Wu Zheng.

After relieving himself, Wang Zhiren took a deep breath, "Then let's start with the first one." ”

"Xingguo Gong, please."

"Princess Changping was initiated by you, although she was forced to abdicate in Chun'an, but not many people know about this matter, even if it is known, it can be used as a cover by King Lu's forced palace, and the impact will not be too great, I don't know, what is your intention to restrict the monarch's power and reorganize the cabinet?"
