Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 529
Shen Zhezi seems to have a lot of friends in the capital, but in fact he has rules in his heart. Some are destined to be just friends, and some are just casual acquaintances. In fact, there are very few people who can really work together and plan the Northern Expedition together. And less.

Kong Hun has a good relationship with Shen Zhezi, but in Shen Zhezi's heart, he doesn't think that this person is someone who can share weal and woe and conspire together for great things.The simple point is that the people who stand on their own feet are fundamentally different. The Kong family in Kuaiji is a different branch of saints, and they themselves have powerful resources and influence in politics.Who they want to cooperate with is much more selective, and they don't have to and don't want to rely on the Shen family alone.

Just like now, Kong Hunming knew that Wang Bin's going to Kuaiji would be detrimental to his family, so he actually asked himself about it.He said he was asking for advice, but in fact he had already made a decision, so he just came to inform himself to avoid embarrassment when meeting in the future.

Of course Shen Zhezi couldn't stop Kong Hun, but that didn't mean he would be happy to see Kong Hun follow Wang Bin to Kuaiji.Even if Kong Hun did nothing, this action alone would give wrong hints to those inferior families in Kuaiji, making people think that the high-ranking families in the county had been wooed to instigate rebellion, which 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.

But since Kong Hun notified himself in advance, of course Shen Zhezi would not stand still.

Hearing what Shen Zhezi said, Kong Hun subconsciously showed joy on his face. He thought that Shen Zhezi would be unhappy because of this, and even stopped him.But he has indeed made up his mind, and even if Shen Zhezi is dissatisfied and even alienated because of this, he will not be shaken. The notification is just an explanation of the past friendship.

But now Shen Zhezi not only did not express any objection, but complained for him, no matter if he was sincere or not, at least he avoided embarrassment on the surface.So Kong Hun smiled modestly and said, "I don't dare to be conceited about it. Although Kuaiji is a hometown, it is still a large county in the east of the Yangtze River. I am already sincere and fearful to be able to win Wang Sanqi's favor as a meritorious officer. How dare I do it again?" Make more progress."

"Brother Shi's words are wrong. We dare to do what we do. If we can use our talents to the best of our ability, we will naturally not give up. How can we be the second choice!"

Shen Zhezi said with a serious expression: "If others ask questions, then I can only say congratulations. But I have always been in love with Brother Shi, and we have worked together in the past, so I know your talents well. Other things He said, it’s only about favors. If we hadn’t marched forward and defeated the thieves entrenched in the capital, Wang Sanqi might still be howling under the whip of the rebels! How can we be so thin when we go to Ren Guixiang!”

When Kong Hun heard this, he didn't know what to say.In fact, he would be more willing if he could serve as the magistrate, but he also knew that he lacked qualifications, and being able to serve as a meritorious officer was already a great improvement.

Shen Zhezi was deeply upset by Kong Huan there, and said angrily in the banquet: "It's fine if I don't know about this matter, but since I heard about it, I should fight for my elder brother. Not to mention the old friends, but my elder brother worked with me earlier. You can’t just sit back and watch the old bureaucrats and friends use their talents for nothing!”

"No need, no need..."

Kong Hun hurriedly waved his hands, he naturally understood that Wang Bin and the Shen family were not in harmony, if Shen Zhezi interrupted, and it was an obvious delusion, it might ruin his own work.But after realizing this, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart. Could it be that Shen Zhezi's idea was to use this to disturb Huang's own work?

Thinking of this, Kong Hun's expression became a little stiff: "I am really grateful for the concubine's admiration, but my father also taught me that it is better to be slow and not dry in the world, and don't make foolish plans. If you plan to be disrespectful, you will make people laugh."

This is more important, I also have parents, don't bully me for being too young!

After Shen Zhezi heard the words, he said with a smile: "The words of the virtuous elders should be obeyed. Brother Shi is self-righteous, and I am self-centered for old love. The two have nothing to do with each other. Now I am the post of Dianxuan. If even old friends Why do my colleagues and friends look at me? Why do my colleagues look at me when I lose my talent? Why do my elder brothers abide by etiquette, and I stand up for righteousness? This is deceiving each other!"

Now that this topic has been brought up, Shen Zhezi will naturally not let it go. I am a warm-hearted and quick-tempered person. If you don't let me help, don't blame me for being impatient with you!

Kong Hun was stunned for a moment, as if weighing the balance, and then sighed after a while: "Why is the son-in-law so stubborn? Who does Wang Sanqi hire? He has his own plans. It is really a loss of human nature to be so forceful."

"Brother Shi doesn't need to worry about this matter. Since I dare to argue about it, it naturally makes sense. Now it's you and me talking privately, so you might as well speak frankly with Brother Shi. Whether Wang Sanqi can do it or not is still in doubt. At this moment, he can only forge ahead, how can he retreat lightly. If such an important attribute can be easily dismissed and changed from day to day, with such a temperament, how can he be a great county!"

Shen Zhezi understood that Kong Hun didn't dare to turn against him, not because of the difference in their 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 to show off, so if it is not a last resort, he There is no need to offend yourself severely.

When Kong Hun heard what Shen Zhezi said, his eyes lit up, and then he realized that what Shen Zhezi said was not unreasonable.Right now, Taichung is still deadlocked whether Wang Bin will take office or not. The reason why he uses himself is also to hope to get the support of the Kuaiji people, not because he really has any talents that he has to use.

Thinking about it this way, Kong Hun realized that now is the time to bargain. Wang Bin needs the support of his family, and he also needs the connections provided by Wang Bin.Since everyone gets what they need, why not set the price higher!Although he has no worries about the way out, if he can look young, who would refuse?
Although the difference between Juncheng and Gongcao is only one level, normally speaking, it would take a few years to wait for an opportunity.But if you fight for it now, it will save you a few years, so why not give it a try?Besides, this time he is returning to his hometown to serve as an official. If he can be promoted to a higher level, he will have great face in front of the villagers.

Seeing Kong Hun's obvious movement, Shen Zhezi also laughed.It is true that he can help Kong Hun fight for it, and Kong Hun can also ask Wang Bin to explain in private. If they can talk to each other, then it means that they are not human inside and out.But the Kong family didn't have such a good relationship with the Wang family, and I can be regarded as a kind of support to Kong Hun, but so what, it's not like betraying just betrayal.

It's just a political deal, and it would be too embarrassing if it comes down to trust or not.

Of course, Shen Zhezi would not be so kind as to fight for better treatment for Kong Hun, the main reason was to disgust Wang Bin.The harder I try to help Kong Hun fight, the more awkward Kong Hun will be in front of Wang Bin, and he will be suspected of being an eyeliner inserted in.But Wang Bin is now at a critical moment for seeking to take office, and he dare not dismiss Kong Hun to offend the Kong family, even if he is dissatisfied, he has to hold his nose and accept Kong Hun.

"Although I said this matter, if you have doubts, brother, you may wish to go home and discuss it carefully with the majesty of the Zunfu. I can assure you that as long as Wang Sanqi can be appointed as the Kuaiji, brother will definitely be the Kuaiji Juncheng."

Shen Zhezi clapped his hands on the table, as if to make a final decision.In fact, he was bragging. He didn't have much interference in who Wang Bin wanted to use.But if Wang Bin refuses to let Kong Hun be the first subordinate official, then Shen Zhezi is absolutely sure to disrupt this political transaction between him and the Kong family, and make them hate each other.

Of course, he will also work hard to help Kong Hun fight for it.The reason for making these efforts is also to warn Kong Hun, don't overdo it, kid, even if you go to Wang Bin's subordinates, I can get in the way of any official.There are still decades to come, what to do and what not to do after going to Kuaiji, you have to decide for yourself!
Kong Hun couldn't comprehend the meaning of Shen Zhezi's warning for a while, but Shen Zhezi's unequivocal assurance also inspired him, so he said with a smile: "Actually, I don't dare to think about it in my heart. But your concubine's kindness is hard to turn down, and it really makes me feel disrespectful. Then I will go home later and talk to my father about this matter, and I will work hard twice. I hope it will be bigger. If I can be the head of the county government, I will be in the village in the future. It can also bring more benefits to the villagers.”

Shen Zhezi chuckled when he heard the words, he didn't care about Kong Hun's not seeking the well-being of the villagers, as long as he could dangle in front of Wang Bin and disgust Wang Bin every day, it would be considered his duty.He really hoped that his father could mutilate Wang Bin in Kuaiji, so that Director Wang would not be able to do anything against Kuaiji for the time being.

In the next one or two years, he will spend a lot of money in Jiangbei, and Kuaiji, as the rear of money and food, naturally, the more stable the better.The reason why Shen Zhezi was eager to make contributions in Jiangbei was also because his family's status had reached a bottleneck period in terms of people in the south, and if he went any further, he would be suspicious. However, if he made great achievements in conquest, the situation would 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, no matter which aspect of Taichung they want to move, they will be afraid.East Yangzhou is the root of the country, and it is impossible to eradicate it.And in Jiangbei, he will also be closely united with Yu Yi, and it will be difficult to separate each other, and he will not even be able to break through separately.
