Chapter 1470 The mouth of the literati
"The world has no master, and those with virtue live in it. However, in terms of Xiang's opinion, it's bullshit!" Mao Xiang said loudly without changing his face, "The world has no master, and those with ability live in it, which is the right reason!"
"What's the solution?"
"Ability is not talent, but strength! Looking at the world's situation, the Qing court in the north is like a snake swallowing an elephant. If it is allowed to slowly seek it for ten or twenty years, it may really be able to unify the world. However, the prince rose from Jiangnan for several years, which has cut off the possibility of the Qing court going south. The King of Jin in Yongli went north and even cut off the Qing court's way westward. After the prince's battle in Jiangbei, the Qing court's decline had emerged. It was an irreversible trend to shrink and protect itself. It was only time for the success of the Northern Expedition..."
"If it is today, it is like the heroes competing for hegemony at the end of the Han Dynasty, and the three-legged tripods are in the east, the prince is in the south, and the Yongli Dynasty is in the west... If it were hundreds of years earlier, I would definitely think that the world will be in the southwest in the future..."
"Oh...why?"
"The world has not been chaotic, and the world has been governed by Shu, and the world has not been governed by Shu... Sichuan and Shu are unique in their own interests. Compared with all parties, it is like a country that has been transformed from other countries."
"Continue to talk." Wu Zheng refused to comment.
"But now is different from the past. The prince's Northern Expedition arms were sharp and as powerful as thunder. There was no need to worry about the strong city and thick walls. In addition, the economy moved eastward, the court's annual taxes accounted for 60% of the coast... In addition, the talents in the world, the Jiangnan accounted for 70%. In this way, the time, place and people are harmonious, as long as the prince is willing, he will definitely achieve great achievements."
"According to what you said, the right time, place and people are in harmony, the prince of Yanping to the south is also in line with it. Why do you say that this king can achieve great achievements?"
"The Prince of Yanping is from a humble background..."
"I am not noble in origin."
"No." Mao Xiang said decisively, "The prince is noble!"
Wu Zheng couldn't help but open his eyes and asked in confusion: "Why don't I know?"
Mao Xiang said seriously: "Although it is rumored that the prince is the descendant of Huizong, the prince did not use it to be regarded as a descendant of the clan. It has been praised and recognized by the people of the world. What is even more valuable is that the prince's ancestors have been dedicated to protecting the descendants of Huizong for generations. The loyalty and righteousness can only be expressed by heaven... The prince is the descendant of loyalty and righteousness. Who in the world dares to say that the prince is not noble from a noble family?"
Wu Zheng was stunned. How could his background be interpreted like this?
This scholar's mouth is so capable.
Mao Xiang said: "Although Yongli has great righteousness, he can be a strong minister and a weak king, but he has no capital to compete with the prince..."
"I want to ask, Yixing Dynasty already has an emperor. Are you trying to persuade me to usurp the throne and become independent?" Wu Zheng asked coldly.
Mao Xiang was not moved by the coldness in Wu Zheng's tone. He said calmly: "The prince wants to come and know more than the ministers. The situation of the emperor in Yixing Dynasty is probably the same as that of Yongli."
"You are right." Wu Zheng nodded, "But as you said, as long as I am willing, I will definitely achieve great achievements... But what I want to ask is, are you willing?"
Mao Xiang was shocked now. There are still people in this world who are unwilling to rule the world?
"You said you were not drunk, and I gave you the right to speak, but since it was not drunken words, everything you said before me will be the reason for your guilt, because you are no longer a white-clothed scholar who can talk about current affairs in a wine shop." Wu Zheng said lightly, "If you don't teach, you will be punished for abuse. I will ask you three questions."
There were sweat beads falling on Mao Xiang’s forehead.
"No matter how weak the emperor of Yixing Dynasty is, there are many loyal people who are loyal to the royal family. Once this king abolishes the king and becomes self-reliant, Yixing Dynasty will inevitably have civil strife. When the civil war comes, and you will be unable to fight the north, will your lonely become a national sinner? What should I do? This is one of them."
"Yongli Dynasty is far away in the west. Compared with the more than 300,000 Daxi Army, the northern expedition army was only 200,000. Once the throne is usurped, the Emperor Yongli will naturally not be willing to surrender and will raise an army to attack. At that time, the sect will be attacked on both sides. What should I do? This is the second one."
"Zheng Sen, the prince of Yanping, South China Sea, belongs to Yongli. Although he has always been obedient to the tune but not the Xuan, due to the threat of this king's navy to the Zheng family's navy at sea, once the deposed king becomes independent, he will stand with Emperor Yongli, and he will face the enemy on three sides. How can I solve it?"
Mao Xiang was sweating like rain, but he still stammered his neck and said, "The King of Jin in Yongli sent his daughter to Hangzhou Prefecture. His Highness and the King of Jin can break down the troubles of the West Road..."
Wu Zheng sneered: "How ridiculous is it that the general affairs of the army are related to marriage with a woman? For the King of Jin who controls an army of 300,000, will he change his position for a married daughter?... It's aloof to you, Mao Xiang!"
The voice of "...Luo Gao looks at you, Mao Xiang" made everyone present frightened.
If any "persuading" is not successful, then the probability of "persuading" being backfired is very high. At the least, the deposed will be deposed and the future will be lost, and at worst, the death will be dead!
Because those who are "persuaded to the outside world" need to explain to the emperor, and prove that they have no dissatisfaction. It is just that the "traitor" is at work. The "traitor" should be killed, so they should be angry.
Li Yong naturally knew this. While sweating for Mao Xiang, he turned his begging eyes to Ma Shiying. He knew that he was not worth enough in Wu Zheng's heart to save Mao Xiang.
Ma Shiying naturally knew what Li Yong meant when he was looking at him, but Ma Shiying knew Wu Zheng's temperament. At this time, I'm afraid that Wu Zheng would not listen to anything others said.
Ma Shiying and Li Yong and his party in Fengyang Mansion almost had a tacit friendship.
So, Ma Shiying was quick to learn and suddenly interrupted, "I am drunk and dare not bother the prince anymore. Please allow me to retreat and rest. After I wake up, I will come and take the crime again."
When Li Yong heard this, he was stunned at first, and then suddenly understood it. He quickly repeated Ma Shiying's words and asked to leave and rest.
There are two meanings in their words: one is to explain to Wu Zheng that I didn’t hear anything. The other is to explain to Wu Zheng that I didn’t want to hear it again.
Many things that are not heard mean that they have not happened.
It is unreasonable to say something, and it is not obvious in black and white words. No matter how you say it, it is not an exaggeration, let alone a sin.
Ma Shiying was originally a master of this, and he was too jealous.
Li Yong's younger generation is like the waves of the Yangtze River pushing the waves of the previous ones.
Wu Zheng's face remained motionless and slowly spit out a word, "Accurate."
The two of them were secretly happy. When they were retreating, they heard Wu Zheng say, "Let's wait."
Ma Shiying and Li Yong lowered his head's eyes and touched it gently, and he was shocked, thinking that Wu Zheng had changed his mind.
"Take him out."
The two looked up and saw Wu Zheng's finger pointing at Lu Jincai, who was still snoring under the table, and a bitter smile appeared in their hearts.
Ma Shiying is already sixty years old. Although Li Yong is young, he is a scholar. How difficult is it to promote Lu Jincai, a big and powerful person?
What's more, Lu Jincai was so drunk.
However, the two knew very well in their hearts, how could Wu Zheng not know the difficulty of raising Lu Jincai? Since they were asked to carry it out, they had to carry it out. I am afraid this was the punishment Wu Zheng gave them.
This made them know that the prince’s heart was actually like a mirror.
