After interpenetrating with Lord Hou, he became addicted to house fighting

Chapter 187

Cao Gang was shocked, "Master, what do you mean?"

"Let's listen to the master speak slowly," Rong Zhan said slowly, drinking the freshly baked tea from his apprentice, "You are my only disciple, since you want to be the fourth prince, naturally the master will help you.

"For the Rong family and his son, they don't really care much about who is the emperor.

"But Princess Jingyang is slightly different. She has a deep relationship with the current Emperor Wenchang, and she personally participated in the establishment of the current prosperous age.

"I'm never reconciled to seeing a good situation ruined.

"So she will also make the Rong family and his son stand on the side of the fourth prince.

"As a teacher, as a retainer of the Rong family, I must wholeheartedly plan for them.

"If they want to retreat far away from the rivers and lakes, I want to ensure that they will not be disturbed by the court.

"If they want to be at the height of the temple, I also want to ensure that they will not be hurt by Xiaoxiao.

"I will tell you bluntly, if there is a disagreement between you and them, as a teacher, I will definitely take their side.

"But with your heart, you will not become a courtier, so this situation will definitely not happen.

"Since we have the same interests, we have to think about it together."

Cao Gang was puzzled: "But Master, what does this have to do with my personal relationship with Champion Hou?"

"Stupid apprentice," Rong Zhan tapped Cao Gang's forehead from the air, "Why don't you think about it, you were originally the fourth prince's companion, and now you are his most important adviser.

"As long as the fourth prince is not someone who crosses rivers and destroys bridges, you will be his subordinate in the future.

"Who is Champion Hou? There is no need to mention the relatives of the royal family.

"He holds a heavy army in his hands, has great achievements in the world, and has two princes from one family, which is impressive.

"If you continue to have a deep personal relationship, what do you think the emperor will think?
"It's just that he was originally open-minded, can you guarantee that even civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty will not do what he thinks?
"It should be noted that 'clique' has always been a taboo in the imperial court!"

Cao Gang's expression gradually became dignified. How could he fail to understand after such a small gesture from the master?

Even if you are neither party nor party, you can't stop someone from thinking about it.

Moreover, it's not just courtiers who think this way, some loyal ministers and good generals also have concerns in this regard.

This is human nature.

He bowed his head to be taught: "I understand."

Rong Zhan sighed softly: "I know, you and Champion Hou are childhood friends, and you trust each other enough to trust each other's backs.

"So as a teacher, let you and him turn against each other, just to make others think that you have turned against each other.

"In private, how do you communicate or how to communicate, just avoid the eyes and ears of others."

Cao Gang nodded vigorously, and then said what was in his heart: "Master, in fact, this disciple does not have the heart to strive for fame and fortune.

"You see, our Zhen Guo Gongfu is already an extremely powerful minister, what more do we need? We have already done the work of making meritorious deeds.

"If you make more contributions, how will the court reward you? We are not in the same situation as the champion.

"That's why my grandfather has long strictly ordered the fathers not to hold important positions.

"In our generation, no one cares about flirting with others. As long as we don't break the law, violate morality, don't study, don't practice martial arts, no one will force us."

Of course, Cao Gang's statement is just a modest statement. In fact, Lao Zhen Guogong still controls the character of his descendants very strictly.

As for not participating in political affairs, it is not absolute, but it is strictly forbidden for the Cao family to have an official rank above the fifth rank.

Moreover, the number of officials in each house is also strictly controlled.

For example, Cao Gang, he is the second son of the eldest son, and his elder brother became a sixth-rank military officer in Wucheng Bingma Division, so he had no chance of becoming an official.
