Dajin royal family

Chapter 319 Father-Son Heart-to-Heart (Thanks to Mo Zhi Kuhan for the reward)

After eating, Zhao Wang and Jiang Chengxiao went to the inner study tacitly.

The two of them knelt and sat on the soft cushion facing each other, with fragrant tea being brewed on the table in the middle, and a faint fragrance wafted into their mouths and noses.

"Qingque, how long do you think I can last in the Jin Dynasty?" King Zhao's first sentence got to the point, and now he doesn't want to beat around the bush.

Jiang Chengxiao said: "Two years, maybe three years."

At this time, it is obviously inappropriate to pretend that you don't know anything in front of King Zhao.

Zhao Wang is a smart person, it is impossible not to notice it at all.

After the voice fell, Zhao Wang did not refute, but seemed a little lonely.

"You said, when was the hidden danger buried?"

"It should be when His Majesty decided to oppress the interests of the nobles in Guanzhong." Jiang Chengxiao replied.

Zhao Wang nodded, "Yes, if he is willing to take his time in the way of the first emperor, maybe the situation will be very different."

different?
Jiang Chengxiao didn't think so. The late emperor had used many means to suppress the nobles in Guanzhong, but once they wanted to rebel, they still had such great energy.

Don't underestimate the power of the aristocratic family. How rampant the Rouran people were back then, but they couldn't destroy the aristocratic family. This shows how tenacious their vitality is.

"If it were you, what would you do?" King Zhao asked instead.

Jiang Chengxiao was going to fool around with this question, but Zhao Wang added, "You and Pei Ju have gotten very close recently."

Jiang Chengxiao suddenly became nervous, and immediately said: "Pei Gong is the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and my son is the Minister of the Ministry of Rites. Isn't it normal to walk close?"

"Is it really just like this?" Wang Zhao asked suspiciously.

"It's really just like that!" Jiang Chengxiao affirmed.

Having said that, Jiang Chengxiao immediately realized a problem, that is, he has really gotten too close to Pei Ju recently, it seems that he should pay attention to it in Luoyang in the future, so as not to arouse the emperor's suspicion.

King Zhao didn't dwell on this question blindly, he still asked, "If it were you, what would you do?"

It seems that if he doesn't say that he is ugly and Yinmao today, King Zhao will not give up.

Jiang Chengxiao said: "Unite the majority and attack the small group."

Ok? !

This answer really surprised King Zhao. He thought his son would say "Picture it slowly, or strike with a thunderbolt", but he didn't expect such an answer.

"Tell me, how can you unite the majority and attack the small group?" King Zhao asked with great interest.

Jiang Chengxiao said: "Unite those with the same interests and attack those with different interests."

King Zhao quickly understood this time, and he added with a smile.

"Remember to be stable."

Jiang Chengxiao thought for a while, and felt that he was right, subconsciously ready to nod, but suddenly stopped.

Good guy, Zhao Wang is talking nonsense.

"What's the use of my father telling me these things? It's not for me to decide." Jiang Chengxiao pretended not to be fooled.

Zhao Wang smiled, not paying attention to his son's small movements.

"Do you know why Your Majesty is not worried about the banditry in Qingzhou?" King Zhao changed the question.

"Because the violent bandits are just floating around without roots, without the support of powerful families, they are not orthodox after all, and cannot become a climate." Jiang Chengxiao answered as it should.

Zhao Wang nodded approvingly, but said: "This is only one of the factors."

"And the nobles in Guanzhong stand still, and your Majesty throws a mouse?" Jiang Chengxiao continued.

"That counts as one."

Jiang Chengxiao thought about it again, then shook his head, expressing that he couldn't guess.

Zhao Wang said slowly: "Because Qingzhou is not the land of Wang Xing!"

This sentence directly shocked Jiang Chengxiao.

"Why did the father say that?"

Zhao Wang stretched out his finger, passed it over the teacup, and immediately drew a 'horizontal bar' on the four corners of the table.

"You must have heard that the world is like a chessboard. Those who want to conquer the world must first take a corner, and then develop in the center and plot all directions."

Jiang Chengxiao nodded, that's indeed the case. If you take the Central Plains first, although you will get a rich and fertile land, you will be surrounded by enemies, which is unwise!
Only by taking the four corners first, and drawing them slowly, can great things be achieved.

"The four corners, one is the land of Guanzhong and the Three Qins, Qinchuan is eight hundred miles away, Tongguan and Hanguguan are in the east, you can take the Central Plains to watch the world, retreat to protect the king's foundation, or go south to take the Bashu Hanzhong."

"The second is for the land of Liaodong in Hebei, the third is for Jingzhou in the east of Jiangxi, and the fourth is for Bashu and Hanzhong."

"Is that right for the father?"

Zhao Wang looked at him with burning eyes.

Jiang Chengxiao swallowed his saliva, and was silent for a while, "Why did the father tell me these things?"

"You don't have to ask these questions, just answer as father, is that right?" Zhao Wang said lightly.

Seeing that his son was still hesitating, Zhao Wang said: "You are my son, I can understand everything."

After the words fell, Jiang Chengxiao looked at King Zhao in surprise.

Did he know his plan?

Responding to him was Zhao Wang's eyes full of relief.

Jiang Chengxiao gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "I don't know."

He dare not bet!
Not only was there no anger or disappointment in Zhao Wang's eyes, but he laughed three times.

"Okay, okay, no worries for my father!"

This made Jiang Chengxiao stunned. He thought King Zhao would be very angry, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

King Zhao didn't care about Jiang Chengxiao's expression, and said slowly: "You don't have to take what you said for your father earlier, and then you just talk about it for your father, and you just listen."

Before Jiang Chengxiao could speak, King Zhao said: "In fact, there have been only two places in the world since ancient times, one is Guanzhong, and the other is Bingzhou."

"Guan Zhongwei's father has already said it before, let's talk about Bingzhou."

"The land of Bingzhou embraced the Taihang Mountains, and the ancient Zhao Kingdom used this to contend against the Western Qin Dynasty, becoming the first pass for the Guandong countries to block the Western Qin Dynasty. Emperor Guangwu restored the foundation of the Han Dynasty by relying on Hebei."

"As far as Cao Wei, the aristocratic family gradually rose, and you know the two most powerful. Those who compete for one in Guanzhong and Bingzhou can spy on the world. "

"The nobles in Guanzhong want to destroy my Jiang family"

Having said that, King Zhao stopped and looked at his son meaningfully.

"Did you hear clearly?"

Jiang Chengxiao nodded numbly: "My son heard it."

The surface is calm, but his heart is actually turbulent.

What Zhao Wang said was what Jiang Chengxiao had in mind!
This idea was born in his mind when he got the mountain and river map secretly drawn by 'Heart' for the first time.

Although there is a saying that to take the world, you must first take the four corners, but according to the complex terrain of the Central Plains and the bias of the population, only Guanzhong and Bingzhou are the easiest to accomplish.

Because these two places belong to the orderly advance and retreat, natural foundation treasure land.

More importantly, one of the strongest forces maintaining the Jin family is in Bingzhou.

"But, have you heard of a truth?" Zhao Wang asked back.

"what?!"

Jiang Chengxiao was a little puzzled. Today's King Zhao seems abnormal.

"Young tigers don't join wolves," Zhao Wang said.

Jiang Chengxiao was so shocked that he couldn't be underestimated as his father.

Talking about the general trend of the world, the rise and fall of the Jiang family, is telling him that Guanzhong is not advisable, and he can only take Bingzhou.

The cub's refusal to join the wolf pack was to warn him not to raise troops in Bingzhou, because he would be controlled by the Shandong gentry.

And all of this was something Jiang Chengxiao had thought about.

Unexpectedly, King Zhao would tell him this.

Zhao Wang lowered his eyes and said sadly: "When I broke the capital of the Chen Dynasty for my father, I saw the general of the Chen Dynasty, Shen Yu, mourning by the well. What was he crying for? The foundation of the Chen Dynasty was destroyed in his hands."

"At that time, my father only thought that it was his own fault, but looking back now, Shen Song probably felt that it was his own incompetence that led to the demise of the Chen Dynasty."

"Now as a father, I feel the same way."

King Zhao sighed, got up and walked to the window, looking at the stars in the sky.

"You can still move as a father, don't worry about Luoyang."

It was a sentence without beginning or end, but Jiang Chengxiao understood it.

"What is the father planning to do?"

King Zhao smiled lightly, "You should remember that I told you about the late emperor. Without the late emperor, where would the Prince Zhao's mansion come from?"

Jiang Chengxiao understood, stood up slowly, and saluted King Zhao respectfully.

"Father, please rest assured that the world belongs to the Jin family and the Jiang family. This point will not change no matter when."

Some people chose to leave when the building collapsed, and some people chose to die for it.

Hearing his son's words, King Zhao smiled gratifiedly.

"Okay, I'm relieved for my father."

On New Year's Eve, fish and dragons dance, and the dragons open their eyes and compete to eat.
