Chapter 932: The Contributor
(Thank you for your commuter pass.) )
In the awkward silence, someone whispered: "Your Highness, according to your opinion, this matter may still be possible. ”
"Oh? Mr. Changqing, what is your opinion? Guo Xu looked at the staff member who spoke in surprise. That person's name is Zheng Zhixue, the character is Changqing, and he is one of the many staff members around Guo Xu.
This person usually doesn't have much achievement, but he is very particular about eating and drinking, but he doesn't have any good ideas. The other aides were very disdainful of him, saying that he had come to eat and drink. Guo Xu didn't care about raising more idlers, but he didn't care too much. This time he led the army to the expedition, this Zheng Zhixue volunteered to accompany the army, and everyone else thought it was funny, but he insisted on coming, so Guo Xu did not stop him, let him accompany him in the army, and did not expect him to come up with any good ideas. Unexpectedly, at this moment, when all the staff members had no idea, he came out to speak.
"Your Highness, when it comes to the matter at hand, I have to point out Your Highness's mistakes. His Royal Highness may not like to hear it, but I have to say that His Highness's plan to kill people with a knife really shouldn't be used. This counterinsurgency seriously damaged His Highness's prestige. For the current result, His Highness is to blame. Zheng Zhixue said.
"Bold, Zheng Zhixue, what did you say, who do you think you are? How dare you make such accusations against His Royal Highness King Huai? The staff were taken aback and immediately accused.
Zheng Zhixue frowned and said, "You people, things are in your hands." You also have a share in this plan, if it weren't for your instigation, how would His Royal Highness King Huai make this decision? You don't stop it, but you encourage it, is this how you defend Your Highness? ”
"Zheng Zhixue, don't be presumptuous. You eat and drink a lot of strange things on weekdays. His Royal Highness the King of Huai, Corporal Lixian, don't care about you, you can eat and drink here. And now they are accusing us? Do you dare to accuse even His Highness? You're crazy. All the staff members were angry with the enemy and shouted one after another.
Zheng Zhixue said: "Am I not right? His Royal Highness King Huai wants to use this rebellion to consolidate his position in the hearts of the emperor and everyone in the court, it is true, for the future battle of the crown prince, he does need some merit and capital, but he does not have to take such a risky path. This is easy to see, and even if there is no evidence, it can be suspected. His Royal Highness King Huai himself didn't think clearly when he was in the game, so don't you people understand? Obviously, the King of Jin saw through this, so they marched into Xingren Mansion in advance. They can see it, and there are many people in the DPRK and China who can understand it. Not to mention the great decline in His Royal Highness's prestige this time, I am afraid that there will still be mustard and suspicion in the hearts of the emperor and everyone, which is more fatal than the setback of the counterinsurgency, but you are still arguing here, and it is really useless to raise you people. Don't worry about Your Highness, do your best to come up with some bad ideas, what use do you want? ”
"You! Zheng Zhixue, you dare to be so presumptuous in front of His Highness. You're an afterthought now, what were you doing earlier? Why not? A cadre of staff members blushed angrily and reprimanded.
"I don't say? Is it that I don't say it or that you don't give me a chance? You have excluded me from this matter at all, and I have written to Your Highness afterwards to dissuade you, and Your Highness may have thrown my letter into the brazier, right? Zheng Zhixue said angrily.
"Strong words, Your Highness, look at it, this guy is so arrogant, and he still says cool things at this time, he must be severely punished, otherwise the rules will be broken." The staff said angrily to Guo Xu.
Guo Xu was also full of anger and felt that this Zheng Zhi
Learning is disgusting. But when he saw Zheng Zhixue standing there without fear, he couldn't open his mouth to reprimand him. The man did present a letter, but at the time he was bent on carrying it out, and did not care at all about his objections. This man felt that he should not have done this at the time, and he was obviously insightful, and the facts proved it. I shouldn't blame him, but I should blame myself.
"Don't argue, this thing is ...... It is indeed possible that this king has not thought it through, and the current situation is indeed my own fault. But this king doesn't want to say this now, Mr. Changqing, you said that there is a remedy, I want to hear your opinion, you can speak freely, this king will not blame you. Guo Xu said in a deep voice.
"Thank you, Your Highness. Let's put it bluntly, Your Highness is now in an extremely disadvantageous situation, and it is impossible to completely reverse the situation, so don't take a step back. As the saying goes, take a step back and open the sky, sometimes the more you rush for quick success, the more you can't get it. ”
"How to take a step back? Please also be clear. Guo Xu frowned.
Zheng Zhixue said in a deep voice: "What Your Highness has to do now is to let the emperor and the ministers of the court and the central government eliminate their suspicions about His Highness. If the emperor thinks that His Royal Highness deliberately drove the bandits to fight the King of Jin, it will be considered that his mind is not right, even if the emperor respects you again, he will not tolerate you to do such a thing. Therefore, mitigating the impact of this incident is far more important than the credit for counterinsurgency. ”
Guo Xu frowned and nodded slowly, he had not yet realized the follow-up results of this matter. He was bent on the benefits of the success of the plan and the victory of the King of Jin or his death or retreat, but he did not consider the bad suspicions that this matter would bring to his father and courtiers. If Guo Mian dies in battle, there is no need to worry about it, because even if his father is suspicious, he has to pass the throne to himself, the only prince. But now the situation is different. If his father sees through his vicious thoughts, it will not be a matter of ability to quell rebellion, but of quality. There is no doubt that the emperor would never make a man who intended to kill his brother the crown prince.
"It's easy to say, how to get rid of it? It's all nonsense. A staff member scoffed.
Zheng Zhixue arched his hand to Guo Xu and said: "Your Highness, please let these people out, I don't want them to gossip next to me and influence your Highness to give advice." These people are useless, they only deserve to sweep the floor, pour tea and feed the horses, and nothing else. Your Highness wanted to listen to my advice, so let them go. Otherwise, get out of here. ”
Guo Xu couldn't smile bitterly, this Zheng Zhixue really had a bad temper, and he actually gave orders to himself. In normal times, Guo Xu would not allow him to be presumptuous, but now, Guo Xu needs to listen to his opinion. The staff can't be disbanded, and it's impossible for them to feed the horses and pour tea, these people still have some effect. But now, it's okay to let them go.
"Go out first, you're tired, rest early. I'll have a few words with Mr. Changqing. Guo Xu said to the staff.
The staff rolled their eyes, but they had no choice but to bow down and leave. When there were only two people left in the tent, Guo Xu and Zheng Zhixue, Guo Xu said in a deep voice: "Mr. Changqing, let's talk about it now." ”
Zheng Zhixue sat on the chair with his ass, reached out and grabbed the wine jug to take a few sips, and burped heavily. Guo Xu frowned, but he couldn't hold back and didn't have a seizure.
"Your Highness, if the current situation is to be reversed, it needs to be retreated." Zheng Zhi learned.
"What does it mean to retreat as advance?" Guo Xu frowned.
"Your Highness must still be thinking about marching into Xingren Mansion and snatching back the captured bandit leaders and bandits from the King of Jin. Perhaps he also wanted to find out why the army of the King of Jin dared to march into Xingren Mansion and disobey the orders of the imperial court. You want to use this to play the court and find their flaws, right? Zheng Zhixue stared at Guo Xu, as if he had seen through Guo Xu's thoughts.
Guo Xu turned his head to look at him, coughed and said, "Don't guess, I didn't make a decision." ”
Zheng Zhixue nodded and said: "Okay, if His Highness doesn't have this intention, it's fine, if His Highness has this intention, I think that I can't do it." Since they dared to enter the Xingren Mansion, they were completely prepared, and His Highness would not be able to find their flaws. They will definitely not hand over the bandit leaders and captives to His Highness, and I am afraid that the twists and turns of the victory have already been sent to the imperial court, and His Highness will go to snatch people with a knife at this moment, but it is too late. Therefore, there is no need to think about anything else now, and the soldiers and horses can't go to Xingren Mansion. ”
Guo Xu frowned and was silent.
Zheng Zhixue continued: "What His Highness needs to do now is to immediately congratulate the King of Jin, congratulate the King of Jin on exterminating the bandits and making great contributions to quelling the rebellion. ”
"What? Do you want me to congratulate him? No way. Guo Xu said angrily.
"Your Royal Highness, not only to congratulate him, but also to immediately give the court a fold, and also to congratulate the King of Jin, and at the same time review his own mistakes. It is necessary to have the courage to admit that he is slow to act, and the reconquest of other cities slows down the pace of the attack, giving the bandits the opportunity to gather and flee westward. Fortunately, the army of King Jin annihilated the bandits, so it did not cause a catastrophe. You have to tell the emperor and the court officials that the work of quelling the rebellion lies with the king of Jin, and you have nothing to do with it. You will learn the lesson of this incident, and it is better to resign from all official positions and think about it behind closed doors. That's what you need to do now. Zheng Zhixue said in a deep voice.
"Are you crazy? In this case, how can I still compete for the crown prince? I'm holding my opponent so high, am I crazy? That's the bad idea you gave me? Guo Xu got up and scolded angrily.
"I want Your Highness to do this precisely to dispel the Emperor's suspicion of His Highness's slow march, and at the same time, this matter can also show His Highness's generosity. As long as His Royal Highness does this, the emperor and the courtiers will definitely not have any other suspicions about the affairs of the bandits. They would only think that His Highness had misjudged the situation. Admitting mistakes and being suspected of killing people with a knife, His Highness will not be unintelligible. Zheng Zhixue said softly.
Guo Xu frowned and thought for a moment, then sat down slowly.
"Besides, Your Highness must not forget. The higher you hold it, the harder it falls. This battle is not the ability of King Jin, who doesn't know how capable King Jin is? This rebellion was completely assisted by that Lin Jue, if there was no Lin Jue, would King Jin be able to do this? To give him credit, it is best to ask Lu Xiang to recommend King Jin to do things, and with such a great contribution, it is understandable that he will be given an official position to do things. But as long as King Jin does things, he will inevitably be messy, and he is not a person who does things at all. As long as he makes a mistake, he will have an opportunity. Your Highness, don't worry about some gains and losses in front of you, it's like gambling money, even if I keep losing, as long as I win back in the last game, everything will come back. The emperor's favorite person is a person who can do things and is generous and humble, and you take the initiative to admit your shortcomings not only will not dislike the emperor, but on the contrary, it will make the emperor have a different opinion of you. This is definitely not a bad thing. Zheng Zhixue continued.
