Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 190: Meng Tan's 3 Strategies (Part 1)

At that time, seeing Zhang Meng talking, Wu Xie bowed slightly to him, and explained everything that happened before him in detail.

After speaking, Wu Xie said sincerely: "The dark tide is surging in the lower palace, can Zhang Zi help me?"

Zhao Wuxi stared straight at Zhang Mengtan with bright eyes.

Half a year ago, after analyzing the different personalities of Zigong and Zhang Mengtan, he made a strategy of "making friends first, and then seducing them with a good political prospect".

After the two met each other for half a year, Zhao Wuxi always treated each other with courtesy and showed confidence towards Zhang Mengtan. He knew that Zhang Mengtan was calm and indifferent on the outside, but he was a bit arrogant in his heart, and he had the great ambition to rule one family and one country.

Zhao Wuxi chose to do what he liked. While constantly increasing his friendship, he also revealed his predictions about the situation of Jin and the princes from time to time, as well as many novel ideas from later generations, which made Zhang Mengtan amazed.

Under Zhao Wuxi's strategy, Zhang Mengtan also swept away the idea that Zhao Wuxi was just a "Chinese capital" at first. I feel that he is hidden, just like himself, flat on the outside and quality on the inside. So he started to fall in love with him.

What's more, Zhang Mengtan has also been paying attention to the fiery trade war between Zhao's and Fan's a few months ago. He realized that it was Zhao Wuxi who had been stirring up the situation in Xinjiang for the past six months. As soon as he made his move, he let Zhao Clan master half of the millet market, specializing in the wheat flour industry, and with the help of porcelain, he also broke into the lacquer pottery market in one fell swoop, and even the jewel and jade luxury business, which is a hundred times more profitable.

Because of this person, at least in terms of wealth, the Zhao family began to gradually gain the upper hand in the Sixth Palace.

At the same time, Zhao Wuxi was also good at seizing opportunities and managing his relationship with the monarch attentively, perhaps in the eyes of those scholar-bureaucrats who claimed to be upright. This is the practice of the favored courtiers. But considering the practical factors, it is very likely that the Zhao family will gain the same status as the Zhi family in the heart of the monarch, which will be beneficial but not harmful. It's a very far-sighted move.

Zhang Mengtan knew from the few words that Zhao Wuxi had revealed in the past. This gentleman is not only capable, but also ambitious. His subordinates, Zi Gong, Ji Qiao and others, are not ordinary people. They have also received the support of Wen Di Zhao Guangde. They have overshadowed several brothers, and they are the most powerful competitors for the future Zhao clan master. Zhang Mengtan, who has an attitude of "closeness without attachment", gradually developed a desire to serve.

In fact, he grew slowly with age. Gradually showing his wisdom and talent, Wei Ju and even Han Hu had the heart of soliciting him.

Although the Zhang clan is now Zhao Yang's subordinate in Shangjun, it is quite common for the children of a clan to serve different clans. Not to mention that many of the children of the hostile Qing clan under Luan Ying in the past were willing to serve, it is said that now within the Zhang clan, Zhang Mengtan's clan brother Zhang Liushuo is the party of Fan Jishe.

Originally, Zhang Mengtan was still a little hesitant. After all, Wei Ju and Han Hu had a very strong position, not only the incomparable shy sons.

And let him make up his mind, the last straw to make a choice. It was precisely this time of swallowing that Zhao Wuxi equated his status with Han's Han Hu and invited Zhang Mengtan as a guest of honor. He came to the lower palace for a banquet, and wanted to introduce him to Dong Anyu, a doctor in Jinyang who he had admired for a long time.

In addition to being moved, Zhang Mengtan also made up his mind. Perhaps, Zhao Wuxi is a suitable candidate for his future lord... Of course, the premise is that he can really become the prince, or even the suzerain of the Zhao family.

Zhang Mengtan has a slow temper since childhood, which is in the family. It was once considered a stupid performance, and was ridiculed by peers. ignored by elders. It wasn't until he was a young boy that he met Dong Anyu, who was more sluggish. But at that time, Dong Zi was already at the top of the Zhao clan, and he was the head of the family. Who would dare to underestimate him?

Peixian was anxious for Dong Anyu, so Zhang Mengtan found his future goal, and Peixian Shuanyu deliberately imitated Dong Zi.

Now, he touched the string and jade on his belt, but he did not see the excitement and excitement of admiring idols again, only the mission that Zhao Wuxi gave him was left.

Zhang Meng talks about how smart people are, and Zhao Wuxi doesn't even need to explain, he understands that his future lord is going through a fatal crisis.

This is different from what Zhang Mengtan had envisioned before, but he is not the kind of short-sighted person with pure interests. Now that he has made up his mind, and Wu Xie asked him for help with the friendship of friends, the other party voted for him. It must be repaid with Lee!

What's more, Zhang Mengtan knew that Zhao Wuxi had a lot of talented people, and this crisis could possibly win him the position of a future chief advisor!

Adding embroidered flowers to the silk is not as impressive as delivering hot charcoal in the winter snow.

After ten years of reading, I have read all the classics and the history of the car, and I have hidden it in my chest for a long time. In the past, I only used one or two when the children in Pangong were fighting, but today, it is finally his turn to do his best!

So, on the terrace where the autumn breeze was cool, the young counselor, after thinking for a moment, analyzed the situation at this time to his young friend, who was also the future lord.

"If Yin Jiazai and Doctor Fu proposed among his family officials that they should respect the gentleman Bolu as the prince, and take over the government of the palace when the generals of the army did not hesitate, the gentleman would have no reason or name to object. Han Hu, the descendant of the Han family, will all support it, and by then, the situation will be over!"

Zhao Wu Xie nodded and said: "Of course, now that my father is sick, Wu Xie should have been filial by his side, and he can't think of other unreasonable thoughts, but Zhao still needs our support, and every husband also needs to be responsible, not to mention I am a descendant of the Zhao family."

He further explained: "It's not that he likes power without mercy, nor is he coveting a high position. It's just that the Jin Dynasty is in season, and the ministers are watching. If you want to save the life of the clan, you have to think carefully. Hungry and thirsty, Wu Xie is now worried about his father’s safety, and can’t think of a good way to do it, I’m scornful, the onlookers are clear, dare to ask Zhang Zi what tricks he can teach me?”

After all, he sincerely asked Zhang Mengtan for advice.

Zhang Mengtan bowed back humbly and said, "Talk, there are three strategies, upper, middle and lower, and I hope the gentleman chooses one of them and uses it."

Zhao Wuxi secretly said that he really did not find the wrong person. Although Zhang Mengtan was still weak, he knew people and was quick-witted, which could just make up for some of his shortcomings.

"Zhang Zi, please speak."

Zhang Meng said: "The next strategy is a dangerous strategy!"

He stretched out a little finger and said, "The gentleman once said that the three gentlemen of the lower palace, Yin Jiazai is in charge of the wealth and civil affairs. Doctor Fu is in charge of the diplomacy between the imperial clan and the feudal feudal lords. Now these two doctors want to be safe and establish the eldest gentleman, Bo Lu. For the prince. Only Sima You, the family in charge of the clan's soldiers and army, has no positive inclination for a gentleman to ascend to the throne."

"A gentleman can use Tanchi Yuhuan as a token. Go to test the postmaster and persuade him to go the other way. Use the soldiers of the Zhao clan, cooperate with the soldiers of the township, attack from inside and outside, and control the lower palace with thunder. After the overall situation is settled, the gentleman can claim , the general has whispered to you before, promising him the position of the prince, so that the gentleman can ascend to the position of the prince regent!"

This is the last resort, and it is also an idea that Zhao Wuxi had in his heart, and then immediately rejected it. Once implemented, there will be too many enemies. Zhang Mengtan put it first and said that there must be a better way.

Zhao Wuxi couldn't make the food look too ugly, so he pretended not to hesitate and said: "I stage a coup when my father is ill, not to mention that if it fails, it will definitely end badly, even if it succeeds. Mastering the lower palace, but the rest of the Zhao family How will the small sects and retainers in the lord see me? How will the scholars and officials of the Jin state and the world see me? This is absolutely impossible!"

Zhang Mengtan seemed to have expected that Zhao Wuxi would not take this strategy, he smiled slightly: "Indeed. But this strategy is too risky. Although the postmaster is inclined to be a gentleman, whether he can take the risk to do this is still up to us. I don't know. What's more, once the Zhao clan is swayed, Fan and Bank of China may take the opportunity to enter the lower palace, and the Han clan will also be sullen and will not help the gentleman, and even Handan, Lou and other small sects will oppose the gentleman. There are enemies on all sides. Jin may no longer have a place for gentlemen."

So he then stretched out the ring finger of his left hand and continued: "Secondly, it is the middle strategy. Compared with the adventure of the next strategy, this strategy is to seek stability. To remain unchanged and to respond to all changes."

"If the generals of the army collapsed once the mountain tomb collapsed and the heir-born gentleman Bolu stood up, the gentleman might not be able to stop him. At that time, with the support of the Han clan, the Zhao clan could be stable for several years. I see the gentleman Bolu as a person with a soft and glutinous personality. Filial piety but no talent, and will not give birth to jealousy and jealousy. A gentleman can ask the monarch to be the master, and then persuade the gentleman Bolu to split the land and seal the land. Please seal the emperor for Jinyang, as an independent Zhao clan, and the status is the same as that of the Handan clan today. With these counties, you can develop Rong and Di in the north, and you can defend yourself in the south. With the talent of a gentleman, it only takes more than ten years to return to Xinjiang and be ranked as Shangqing."

After listening, Zhao Wuxi pondered, and retreated to advance. This sounds like a good way. If he didn't know what happened later, he would probably applaud and follow Zhang Mengtan's advice.

This kind of method is regarded as the gecko's tail, giving up the position of the prince in exchange for practical benefits. Zhao Wuxi really has the confidence to transfer his subordinates and power to become bigger.

But without Zhang Mengtan's detailed explanation, Wu Xie himself could see the weakness of this strategy.

First, there are both gains and losses. Once he lets go of the throne, he will lose his legal jurisdiction over the entire Zhao family, and he will also lose his right to protect his sister Ji Ying. As a result, the future of Zhao and Ji Ying is like duckweed.

Second, there will be a war between the six ministers. Perhaps according to the inertia of history, after five or six years, if Zhao Yang dies, the process of the war will even be accelerated. Perhaps, it will break out tomorrow.

At that time, will he still have time to leisurely build Jinyang and develop Daibei?

Third, will things really go as expected? The request to split the soil and divide the sect will probably be successful, but when Bo Lu is the suzerain, Zhao's visionary retainers such as Yin Duo, Fu Sou, You Wuzheng, Dong Anyu, etc. will all be loyal to him, and Wuxi wants to follow Dong An. Did you get Jinyang in your hands? How difficult it is, at most there is only one small county in the mainland, sandwiched between the territories of various forces, and it is precarious.

Therefore, unless there is no way out, Wu Xie does not plan to choose this strategy.

So, Zhao Wuxi pondered for a moment and then said, "It's still not right, dare to ask Zhang Zi's best strategy, what is it?"

Asked by Zhao Wuxi about the best strategy, Zhang Mengtan hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Don't blame a gentleman, this best strategy is based on the premise that the general can finally wake up safely, although Tan feels that he is not fully sure. …”

"My father is a hero in the world. He has the protection of his own emperor and ancestors, and he will definitely recover. Zhang Zi can say it with confidence!" Now that Zhao Wuxi is in a dilemma, he can only hope that history will not change because of him. Zhao Yang was able to survive this time, and will lead the Zhao family to move forward for many years.

Of course, Wu Xie didn't want to be a young eagle that was sheltered under Zhao Yang's wings forever, but his wings weren't strong enough now. This is the helplessness of reality.

From the point of view of inner selfishness, Zhao Yang's life ~www.readwn.com~ can only end after the position of the merciless prince is stabilized! On the other hand, seeing the coma and weak appearance of the tiger-like gentleman in the past, Zhao Wuxi, in addition to the faint sadness linked by blood, also has a trace of sympathy for the hero's end.

Zhao Yang, of course he has many personality flaws, but he is also a hero of the world, the founder of the illustrious Zhao Kingdom in history!

Therefore, he should not have died on the bed, in the tears of his children and the panic of his retainers!

He should leave with Zhao's victory, strength, glory of seeking hegemony, and the relief of his successors!

Wu Xie made up his mind. This time, he didn't do it for his own life. Zhao Yang was in a bad time, his elder sister Ji Ying, and this noble family that had been passed down for hundreds of years, nearly a million people of the country and the wild, would be guarded by him. !

He regained his composure, "Zhang Zi, please stop."

Zhang Mengtan also took a deep breath and bowed to Wu Xie: "The bottom policy is too urgent, the middle policy is too slow, and the so-called best policy is..." (To be continued)
