Chapter 969: Heavy Minister's Selfishness
Wang Pu recently accepted a new beautiful concubine, don't look at the fifteen-year-old, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs, proficient in everything.
Not only that, this beautiful concubine has a special talent, as if she has practiced some secret method, and her body is exceptionally tight.
Every time Wang Pu picks up a gun and gets on the horse, he has a different kind of novel feeling, and he can't stop it again and again, and he never gets tired of it.
When Li Gu came to the door, Wang Puzheng was tired of being on the couch with the beautiful concubine, and he was reluctant to leave Wenrou Township.
Wang Pu has a new favorite, Li Gu not only knows a lot about it, but also he threads the needle and leads the matchmaker from it.
Li Gu sat in the West Flower Hall, waiting left and right, waiting for more than half an hour, but he didn't see Wang Pu.
Alas, this Wang Qiwu, who is not very lustful on weekdays, once he meets true love, he is spoiled endlessly.
Li Gu has something hidden in his heart, Li Zhongyi, a copper stinker, not only gained a lot from the Eastern Expedition to Goryeo, but even the elite leather room army of the Khitans was defeated by him.
Li Zhongyi, who has a strong army in hand, what will he do next, others can't see it clearly, but he Li Gu can definitely see it clearly. To put it bluntly, it's just two words: usurping Zhou.
Li Gu likes to read the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, and one of the passages that impressed him the most, Lu Su persuaded Sun Quan: Only the general must not surrender!
Sun Quan is the lord of Eastern Wu, and if he surrenders, the loss of the entire Sun family will be extremely heavy. At best, it's just a long way to survive.
After the return of the Three Kingdoms, Sun Quan's grandson Sun Hao was named the Marquis of Guiming, and he only lived for four more years, and then he died!
One said that Sun Hao died of a sudden illness, and the other said that Sun Hao was poisoned by Sima Yan!
No matter what others believe, Li Gu always believed that Sun Hao was killed.
Although Li Gu is not the lord of a country, he is an important minister of the imperial court who is countless times more senior than Li Zhongyi, and he is also one of the eight prime ministers of the first emperor.
With such a prominent identity in his body, Li Gu asked himself, if he helped Li Zhongyi usurp Zhou Zili, how much benefit could he get?
The answer is clearly no!
Now, the young lord is newly established, the queen mother is in the dynasty, and everyone with a discerning eye knows that it is difficult for orphans and widows to keep the inheritance passed down from their ancestors.
Therefore, Li Gu made up his mind, instead of supporting Li Zhongyi to succeed, it was better to support the weaker Zhao Kuangyin.
If Li Zhongyi got into Li Gu's head and understood his thoughts, he would definitely applaud and praise him. Historically, Zhao Laoer's Chenqiao Mutiny was able to succeed, although there was the death of Shi Shouxin and other righteous brothers, and Li Gu's great merit was indispensable.
It's just that history has played a black joke on Li Gu, which is very unfunny.
After Zhao Lao Er won the country, he relegated Li Gu to his home within a few years and ate his own old book.
Like the logic of Sun Hao's violent death, how could Zhao Lao Er appoint a prime minister with more seniority than him for a long time? Not to mention others, even Zhao Pu, who has been following Zhao Lao Er, has several ups and downs.
However, even if Zhao Pu hooked up with Zhao Kuangyi and helped Zhao Laosan usurp the throne, in the end, it was a bamboo basket for nothing!
In Vanity Fair, it has always been the icing on the cake, and there are few charcoal in the snow. Moreover, if the former allies touch the other party's cheese, they will also take advantage of the enemy.
This so-called, success or failure, in the blink of an eye, is empty, and in the end there is only a handful of loess!
Li Gu's cultivation is very good, even after waiting for Wang Pu for more than an hour, when they met, he still joked with a spring breeze on his face: "Brother Qi Wu, won't you be a guest from now on?" β
Wang Pu touched his black beard, laughed, and said, "Zifei fish, the joy of knowing fish?" β
Li Gu shook his head, he figured it out, the so-called bad woman was just because Wang Pu didn't meet the beauty he really loved.
In fact, Li Gu still has a little secret in his heart, and he has never dared to tell Wang Pu. Wang Puxinna's beautiful concubine, surnamed Zhang Mingqian, was originally given to Li Gu by someone.
As for Li Gu, except for not breaking Zhang Qian's body, the whole body, without exception, played all over the body.
It's just that Li Gu has always boasted of being a great achiever, and he forcibly endured the flame of possession and transferred Zhang Qian to Wang Pu.
Although Li Gu and Wang Pu were openly allies, Li Gu had far more requests for Wang Pu than when Wang Pu needed Li Gu.
The truth that people have to bow their heads under the eaves is applicable everywhere!
"Brother Weizhen, today is a day of rest." Wang Pu himself didn't notice that his tone of voice was faintly mixed with a hint of complaint.
Li Gu knew Wang Pu's temper and knew that he had the courage to come to the door and disturb the good things of Wang Xianggong!
"I really can't live with Qi Wugong, it's just that there are really important things to discuss below." Li Gu pressed the dissatisfaction in his chest, and it took a lot of effort to amuse Wang Pu.
"Brother Weizhen, why are you in such a hurry?" Wang Pu is not a lustful person, there is actually a deep-seated reason why he neglects Li Gu so much.
From Wang Pu's point of view, whether it is Li Zhongyi or Li Chongjin, it is not as good as the current young lord Linchao.
Only when the young lord is in the court, the queen mother hangs the curtain, and Wang Pu, a very old prime minister, has a huge space to move around.
Fan Zhen has won the absolute trust of the Empress Dowager Fu on the surface, in fact, Wang Pu, who has been against Fan Zhen, not only did not lose half a hair, but got a lot of cheap under various reasons.
Far away from it, not to mention it, Wang Pu's protΓ©gΓ© alone has occupied a lot of good positions in the court.
Li Gu secretly thought carefully, although he never told anyone, but Wang Pu still found clues from many small details.
Otherwise, Wang Pu, the patriarch of the Three Dynasties, would really have been in the top power circle for so long.
No matter who will be the emperor, mixing different opinions is the proper meaning of the topic, and it will not be enough to let a certain prime minister cover the sky with one hand, right?
Wang Pu deliberately snubbed Li Gu, just to let Li Weizhen understand that he, Wang Qiwu, was not a fool and could be at his mercy.
Li Gu was hung in the West Flower Hall for more than an hour, if Wang Pu was slow to treat, he still didn't understand the connotation, he would have lived so much in vain.
"Brother Qi Wu, I don't think you can be in a hurry about how to deal with that copper stinker." Li Gu's opinion surprised Wang Pu.
When Empress Dowager Fu convened a small meeting of important ministers, Li Gu was the most active minister against Li Zhongyi, much more radical than Fan Zhen.
The meaning of Fan Zhen is actually very clear, it is necessary to cut the domain, and the matter of entrusting orphans and important ministers will affect the overall situation if you are not careful.
As for what the overall situation is, Fan Zhen did not say it clearly, but Wang Pu has reason to believe that Empress Dowager Fu must know.
"Brother Qi Wu, I thought I had a mistake. After thinking about it carefully, the Queen Mother sent Meng Yao to summon Li Zhongyi back to Beijing, and the excuse used was very flawed. Li Gu suddenly asked Wang Pu, "Brother Qi Wu, what do you think of the copper stinker?" β
Wang Pu was caught off guard, and his heart couldn't help but turn over the river and the sea, and the vicious waves were monstrous, could it be that Li Gu didn't want to make trouble with Zhao Laoer, but had an affair with Li Wuyi?
When it comes to joy and anger, Wang Pu and Li Gu are both grandmaster-level celebrities, not to mention that others can see through their minds, but I am afraid that they can't even touch the door.
It's just that Li Gu is too familiar with and understands Wang Pu, and knows Wang Pu's small movements well.
When Wang Pu is in a panic, he always has a habit of twisting his right eyebrow, and if he doesn't observe it closely, it is absolutely impossible to find the clues.
Taking advantage of Wang Pu's turmoil, Li Gu hurriedly added bricks and tiles, he said with a smile: "Some people want to kill three soldiers with two peaches, why don't we wait for the price and sell?" β
Wang Pu stabilized his mind, pondered carefully, and felt that Li Gu's proposal made some sense.
The law in the field of power is actually that this mountain looks at that mountain high, and ambition is endless.
When it comes to the positions of Li Gu and Wang Pu, in fact, it is important to go to the next level, and it is also impossible to take it lightly to keep the existing position.
Li Zhongyi, a copper stinky son, once famously said: Three years of Qingzhizhou, 100,000 yuan of silver!
In the position of prime minister, even if he does it for three more years, let alone 100,000 yuan, even if it is a million yuan, he may be in the bag.
How much benefit is this?
Wang Pu and Li Gu are roughly the same status, and the problems they face are almost identical.
In addition to being prime minister, if you settle for the next best thing, it will be the big question of who gives the most credible promises!
People who play politics are common sense. But that's for others, once it comes to their own powerful position, then it is necessary to examine the issue of credit.
"The Queen Mother relies on the quality very much, if it continues, I am afraid that you and I will not have a bright future." Wang Pu pretended to be a serious idiot.
Li Gu secretly sneered in his heart, in recent times, the Empress Dowager Fu has been giving small favors and small favors, trying to win over Wang Pu, Wang Pu has always been thinking about the prime minister's throne of Fan Qian, and he has a hot fight with the Empress Dowager Fu.
Wang Pu and Li Gu were originally a pair of difficult brothers, but as a result, after Wang Pu climbed the high branches, he gradually snubbed Li Gu.
Li Gu had something hidden in his heart, but he couldn't tell Wang Puming that if he, the privy envoy, wanted to mobilize troops and horses, he had to take advantage of Wang Pu's duty before he could act.
In Li Gu's dictionary, the so-called allies are all used to use and trap death, and Wang Pu is naturally no exception.
In the Chenqiao Mutiny in history, Li Gu took advantage of Wang Pu's careful thinking, which gave Zhao Lao Er a good opportunity to seize Han Tong's military power.
Wang Pu's temptation, Li Gu just didn't hear it, he smiled and waved his hand and said, "As long as Brother Qiwu, you and I work together, why worry about big things?" β
The more prominent the official and high-ranking big man, the less he will make the true intention of his words clear, and it would be too LO to do that.
If Li Zhongyi was present, he would definitely point out that Wang Pu actually wanted to lean on the Empress Dowager Fu and strive to bring Fan Zhen down.
As for Li Gu, he wanted to change the dynasty, he came to govern and let Zhao Lao Er only take care of the military.
If we follow the inherent trajectory of history, it will definitely prove that the two prime ministers, Li Gu and Wang Pu, are actually big fools who make wedding dresses for others.
Wang Pu wanted to bring down Fan Qian, but he was used by Li Gu, a yellow bird, and finally took advantage of it, but it was Zhao Lao Er who got the benefits.
It's a pity!
