Shen Zhezi seems to have a wide range of friends in the capital, but in fact, he has rules in his heart, some are destined to be just friends of wine and meat, and some are just general friends.

Kong Chao has a good relationship with Shen Zhezi, but in fact, in Shen Zhezi's heart, he doesn't think that this person is a person who can share weal and woe and conspire with great things. The simple point is that the foundation itself is fundamentally different, and the Huiji Kong clan is a branch of the saint, and it has powerful resources and influence in politics. They are much more selective about who they want to work with, and they don't have to, and they don't want to rely on the Shen family alone.

Just like now, Kong Mingming knew that Wang Bin's going to the Huiji meeting was not good for his family, and he actually used this matter to ask himself. said that it was to ask for advice, but in fact, it was not a decision that had already been made, but it was just to inform yourself to avoid being too embarrassed to meet in the future.

Of course, Shen Zhezi couldn't stop Kong Ming, but it didn't mean that he would be happy to see Kong Bang follow Wang Bin to Huiji. Even if Kong Chao didn't do anything, this move alone would give a wrong hint to those inferior people in Huiji, making people think that the high gate in the county had been co-opted and rebelled, and it would undoubtedly give Wang Bin a chance to fish in troubled waters. Of course, this is also one of the reasons why Wang Bin chose to win over Kong's family.

However, since Kong Chao informed himself in advance, of course Shen Zhezi would not sit idly by.

Hearing Shen Zhezi say this, Kong Ming's face subconsciously showed joy, he thought that Shen Zhezi would not like it because of this, and even stop him. However, he has indeed decided, even if Shen Zhezi is dissatisfied or even estranged because of this, he will not waver, and a notice is just an explanation of his past friendship.

But now Shen Zhezi did not object, but cried out for him, whether he was sincere or not, at least on the surface to avoid embarrassment. Therefore, Kong Chao smiled modestly: "I don't dare to think about this, although Huiji is a native country, but after all, it is also a large county in Jiangdong. ”

"Brother Shi's words are wrong, my generation dares to be daring, if the talent can be used, naturally it will not be allowed, how can it be the second choice!"

Shen Zhezi said with a serious expression: "If others ask, then I can only congratulate them." But I have always had a relationship with my brother and have worked together in the past, so I know very well how talented you are. Don't talk about anything else, just talk about human feelings. If it weren't for us to march forward and defeat the thieves entrenched in the capital, Wang Sanqi would still be crying under the whip of the traitor! Now that you are in your hometown, how can you be so thin! ”

When Kong Ban heard this, he didn't know what to say again. In fact, if he can serve as a county prince, he will of course be more willing, but he also knows that he is not qualified enough, and being able to serve as a gongcao is already a great progress.

Shen Zhezi was deeply upset there, and said angrily in the middle of the banquet: "I don't know about this matter, but since I heard about it, I should fight for my brother." Not to mention that the world friends are good, just because the world brother worked with me earlier, I can't sit back and watch the old friends use their talents! ”

"No need, no need to ......"

Kong Chao hurriedly waved his hand, he naturally understood that Wang Bin and the Shen family were not harmonious, if Shen Zhezi intervened, and it was an obvious conspiracy, it might ruin his own affairs. But after realizing this, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, could it be that Shen Zhezi's idea was to use this to mess with his own affairs?

As soon as he thought of this, Kong Ming's expression was a little stiff: "I really thank you for the exaltation of the horse, but the elders also have teachings, it is advisable to be slow and not dry in the world, and do not try in vain. ”

This is more serious, I am also a person with parents, don't bully me!

After hearing this, Shen Zhezi said with a smile: "The words of the virtuous elder should be obeyed, the brother is the mean, and I am the old love, and they have nothing to do with each other." I am now the pawn of the election, if even the old friends lose their talents and ignore them, why do my colleagues look at me? So why do you look at me? Brother Shi abides by etiquette, and I speak out for righteousness, this is not a bully between the two! ”

Since this topic has been raised, Shen Zhezi will naturally not give up, I am a warm-hearted and impatient temper, you don't want me to help, don't blame me for being anxious with you!

Kong was stunned for a moment, as if he was weighing, and after a while, he sighed and said: "Why is it so stubborn for the horse, who is hired by Wang Sanqi, he has his own intentions and plans, and he is so forceful, it is really a loss of favor." ”

"Brother Shi doesn't have to worry about this. Since I dare to talk about this, it naturally makes sense. Now it's you and me talking privately, you might as well talk to your brother. Whether Wang Sanqi can be allowed or not is still between the two, at this time, he can only forge ahead, how can he retreat lightly. If even such an important subordinate use can be said to be wasted, and the order is changed every day, with such a temperament, how can it be a big county! ”

Shen Zhezi understands that Kong Chao doesn't dare to turn his face with him, not because of the difference in each other's family backgrounds, but because Shen Zhezi is gaining momentum now, as long as he doesn't make big mistakes in the future, he still has decades of prominence, so if it is not a last resort, there is no need for him to offend himself.

When Kong Chao heard Shen Zhezi say this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and then he realized that what Shen Zhezi said was not unreasonable. At present, whether Wang Bin is in office or not, Taichung is still deadlocked, and the reason why he uses himself is also to hope to get the support of the Huiji family, not that he really has to use any talents.

Thinking about it like this, Kong Chao realized that now was the time for bargaining, Wang Bin needed the support of his family, and he also needed the way Wang Bin provided. Since everyone takes what they need, why not set the price higher! Although he is not worried about a way out, if he can show himself young, who will refuse?

Although the difference between Jun Cheng and Gong Cao is only one level, normally speaking, it takes a few years to wait for an opportunity. But if you try it now, you'll save years, so why not give it a try? Besides, this time he has returned to his hometown to serve as an official, and if he can go up to a higher level, he will also have a lot of face in front of the villagers.

Seeing Kong Ming's obvious intention, Shen Zhezi also laughed. It is true that he can help Kong Ban to fight for it, and Kong Ban can also find Wang Bin privately to explain, if they can talk to each other, then they are not people inside and out. But the Kong family and the Wang family don't have such a good relationship, and they can be regarded as having the grace to support Kong Ming, but so what, it's not that betrayal is betrayal.

It's just a political deal, and it would be embarrassing to elevate it to the level of trust or not.

Of course, Shen Zhezi would not be kind enough to fight for better treatment for Kong Ming, mainly to disgust Wang Bin. The harder he worked to help Kong Ming, the more embarrassed Kong Chao would be in front of Wang Bin, and he would be suspected of whether it was the eyeliner that was inserted. And Wang Bin is now at the critical moment of seeking office, and he doesn't dare to dismiss Kong Ban and offend the Kong family, even if he is dissatisfied, he has to pinch his nose and take Kong Ban down.

"Although I said this matter, if the world brother has any doubts, he may wish to go home and discuss it carefully with the lord of the palace. One thing I can assure you is that as long as Wang Sanqi can be appointed as the Huiji, the Shige will inevitably serve as the Huiji Juncheng. ”

Shen Zhezi slapped his hand on the table, quite a decisive word. In fact, he was bragging, who Wang Bin wanted to use, he didn't have much interference. But if Wang Bin doesn't let Kong Ban serve as the first subordinate official, then Shen Zhezi is absolutely sure to mess up this political deal between him and the Kong family, so that they will look at each other and hate each other.

Of course, he will also work hard to help Kong Ban fight. The reason why I have to make these efforts is also to warn Kong Ming, you kid don't burn the bag too much, even if you go to Wang Bin's subordinates, I can interject any official. There are still decades to come, what to do and what not to do after going to the meeting, weigh it yourself!

Kong Chao couldn't understand Shen Zhezi's warning for a while, but Shen Zhezi's conclusive assurance also made him feel uplifted, so he said with a smile: "Actually, I don't dare to think about this in my heart, but you are very kind, and it really makes me disrespectful." Then I will go home and talk to my father about this later, and I hope it will be even greater. If he can be the head of the county government, he will be able to seek more benefits for the villagers in the township in the future. ”

Shen Zhezi smiled after hearing this, Kong Mingwei didn't care about the welfare of the villagers, as long as he could dangle in front of Wang Bin's eyes and disgust Wang Bin every day, he would already be considered responsible. He really hoped that his father could cripple Wang Bin in Huiji, so that Director Wang would not have the strength to act against Huiji for the time being.

In the next year or two, he will use Jiangbei in a big way, and he will be the rear of the money and grain, and the more stable the better. And the reason why Shen Zhezi is anxious to make contributions to Jiangbei is also because his family's position has reached a bottleneck period for the southerners, and any further will be suspicious, but if there is a great conquest, the situation will be different.

At the very least, when the time comes, he and his father will pay equal attention to the north and the south, echoing each other, and Taichung will be afraid no matter which aspect it wants to move. Dongyangzhou is the foundation of the countryside, and it is impossible to eradicate it. And he will also be closely united with Yu Yi in Jiangbei, it is difficult to distinguish each other, and he can't even break it separately.
