Chapter 116: Seven Men Discuss the World at the Same Time (18)
In fact, Zhang Gon's method is not without opposition, in other words, many people in the Great Yan Kingdom are against it.
The reason for the opposition is very complicated, Zhang Gon suddenly accumulated, which naturally made many Xianbei nobles dissatisfied, and some people's opposition was almost completely irrational, as long as Zhang Gon said it, they would definitely oppose it, so naturally there was nothing to say.
There are also some people who really think that Zhang Gon is too risky to do this, and feel that the current development trend is really good, and he can play steadily and steadily, and he must still win in the end, and there is no need to make such a big gamble at this time.
Only Zhang Gon knew at this time that he was actually forced to do so.
In fact, the Jin Kingdom in Jiangnan was not taken seriously by Zhang Gon, how could those dog-eat-dog warriors be united? Although Xie An is already famous in the world at this time, but above him, all kinds of uncles and uncles will not let him let go, in other words, in a short period of time, Xie An cannot become a real leader at all.
What Zhang Gon is really worried about is Wang Meng.
In the past, Wang Meng went to see Huan Wen, which had already moved the world, and later, after Wang Meng defected to Fu Jian, he quickly gained trust, unlike here, Wang Meng quickly purged a large number of opposition with the strong support of Fu Jian. Although many of them were relatives or even elders of Fu Jian, Fu Jian was unwavering and wholeheartedly supported Wang Meng, and at this point, Zhang Gon felt fear.
Of course, Murong Jun trusts Zhang Gon very much, but the problem is that the Murong family is different from Fu Jian's family, the Murong family has risen for fifty years, the tree has deep roots, and their reproductive ability seems to be very strong, just one person has more than a dozen sons, and as soon as the sons have power, they can string other big families together through marriage and other means, and although Murong Jun is both a monarch and a parent in the Murong family, others still have a lot of power in their hands, especially soldiers.
They have an army in their hands, so it makes it impossible to concentrate power in Murong Jun's hands by bloody suppression, Zhang Gon's method, and the only feasible way now, is to temporarily suppress these contradictions, and use an unprecedented victory in a war to push Murong Jun's prestige to the peak, and at the same time, through war, consume the opponent's power and create conditions for integration.
In addition, Zhang Gon is afraid of the fact that Wang Meng has begun to carry out many reforms, in fact, the idea coincides with him, and it is also what Zhang Gon has long wanted to do but is trapped in reality and can't do it, Zhang Gon of course knows that these reforms will cause great pain in the short term, but in the long run, it is beneficial to the country and the people, of course Zhang Gon knows that in a few years, the Qin State in Guanzhong will definitely be like the Qin State during the Warring States Period, and the national power will rise sharply, and at that time, whether they can still defeat them is not necessarily, After all, although Fu Jian is young now, he can already see his potential, let alone Wang Meng.
Therefore, whether it is Murong Jun or Zhang Gon, they all have a sense of urgency, and they must take advantage of the fact that they are not enough to do anything, and strike first to achieve an absolute and unshakable advantage.
From this point of view, Zhang Gon's plan is very thorough, almost every detail has been considered, and he has made a plan, and he is almost about to succeed.
But in the end, he still didn't succeed, because there was one thing he didn't calculate, and that was Murong Jun's body.
Murong Jun was only forty-two years old at this time, he could get on the horse to fight, he could get off the horse to govern the country, his body was very good, he ate a lot of fragrant, he looked red, he walked like a tiger, normal people would not doubt his body, and Murong Jun's own living habits were also very healthy, he was not good at drinking, he was not greedy for pleasure, and he also paid great attention to health, but he did not associate with witch doctors and warlocks, Zhang Gon also took it for granted that Murong Jun was in his prime, and there was no problem in sitting in the country for another twenty years.
But who would have thought that when the army was initially gathered and the ideological work of the domestic generals had been almost done, Murong Jun suddenly died in the palace.
At that time, Zhang Gon almost collapsed.
After so long of hard preparation, Zhang Gon spent almost half his life on it, and after careful scrutiny, Zhang Gon took every detail into account, but he did not expect that Murong Jun would die like this.
Of course, although Zhang Gon was shocked, he did not lose his sobriety, after confirming that Murong Jun was indeed killed by a violent illness, not by others, Zhang Gon sealed all the rewards as soon as possible, handed over the official seal, and then immediately after Murong Jun's funeral, he took his family out of the Great Wall and went to the grassland to herd horses and sheep.
In order to help Murong Jun, in fact, Zhang Gon often plays the role of black face, Murong Jun must maintain the image of Renjun, so many things that Murong Jun is not suitable for doing, in fact, they are all done by Zhang Gon, and the black pot is naturally carried by Zhang Gon, in this way, Zhang Gon has offended many people, and now he has lost Murong Jun's protection, if Zhang Gon is still in the court, the next person who will have an accident is likely to be himself, taking advantage of Murong Jun's death, when the country is more chaotic, the golden cicada will come out of his shell in time, Of course, it's also good.
Speaking of which, Murong Jun was kind to Zhang Gon, Zhang Gon didn't plan to leave at first, after Murong Jun's death, the heir is naturally undisputed is Murong Wei, the problem is that he is only ten years old, and the state affairs are naturally presided over by Murong Jun's younger brother Murong Ke, this Murong Ke was crowned the king of Taiyuan at the time, and he is also a good character, especially this person fights bravely and crowns the three armies, is not afraid of death, and likes to make strange and dangerous moves the most, the problem is that he is very bold in fighting, but he is very careful in governance. Although the internal cultivation of national politics is very good, the external spirit is a little less enterprising.
Moreover, Murong Ke is relatively kind, and he has a lot of preferential treatment for the nobles of the Murong family, and sometimes he will not be held accountable if he breaks the law, which of course helps to alleviate the contradictions, and the political situation is stable for a while, and foreign enemies do not dare to attack, it seems that the Great Yan Kingdom is in full swing, and Murong Ke's reputation is also very high.
But? Only Zhang Gon can see the problem inside, and the biggest political difference between Zhang Gon and Murong Ke is that Zhang Gon advocates being aggressive and aggressive, and the military action of the Qin Empire should be as good as possible, because Zhang Gon knows that Wang Meng is terrible.
In other words, Zhang Gon thought that if Wang Meng went down according to his method, the Qin State would not be able to stop it, and Murong Ke firmly believed that with him, there would be no problem with the Great Yan Kingdom.
Because of the difference in political views, the two finally broke up and did not get along with each other, and Zhang Gon finally lived in complete seclusion and did not care about political affairs.
