Jiang Xingzong nodded and agreed: "That's true!"

"only……"

"Cousin, according to your wishes, Wanjia...do you intend to make friends with Lord Shen?"

Jiang Xingzong looked at Sheng Changquan with some hesitation, secretly guessing in his heart.

Compared with the power of the Shen family, the Sheng family is not ranked at all. In fact, the Wan family of Yuzhou is already much stronger than the Sheng family of Youyang. As for the Jiang family, it is even less likely, so the only reason for the Wan family to do this is

Maybe he just wants to gain connections with the Shen family.

"good!"

Sheng Changquan looked at his cousin with a smile and affirmed: "The Wan family really thinks so, and it's not just the Wan family, the Shen family also wants to recruit the Wan family."

"This is the tacit understanding between the Wan family and the Shen family, and it is also the way for the family to survive."

Although it was Sheng Changquan's idea to ask Wanjia for help, he had informed Shen Li before he took action. Therefore, Shen Shouzheng naturally knew about it. Since he did not come forward to stop it, it means that he agreed with Sheng Changquan's approach.

"Although it is said that this matter is caused by us brothers colluding together, it is actually a transaction between the Yuzhou Wanjia and the Shandong Shenjia. The former is to find a backer for himself in the court, while the latter is using this to expand his business.

strength."

Because of his background, Jiang Xingzong rarely came into contact with these things, no, or he had never come into contact with them. He seemed a little clumsy at this time when it came to the aristocratic family and the comings and goings in the court, but Sheng Changquan deliberately gave him guidance.

After all, according to Jiang Xingzong's current momentum, he will inevitably enter this vortex in the future. Now, if he can be familiar with these in advance, it will only be beneficial and not harmful.

As for why Sheng Changquan himself knew all these things, it was not only because of his experience as a man in two generations, but also because of the teachings of his grandmother and father.

Sometimes, some people really beat you at the starting line.

Old Mrs. Sheng was born in Yongyi Hou Mansion, and had friendship with the empress in the palace when she was young. You must know that no one who can survive in the harem is simple at all, let alone become the empress.

Therefore, she is naturally quite accomplished in those matters of power. Sheng Changquan remembers that when he and his sister Minglan were young, she often told stories like this to educate their siblings and train them.

View the overall situation and improve your temperament.

As for the latter, that is, Sheng Hong, although he cannot see clearly in some major matters, he is cautious and tactful. At the same time, the most important thing is that he sees people accurately. He can often see a person's talent, learning, and temperament from small things.

Therefore, Sheng Changquan also benefited a lot from his old father's influence and learned a lot.

Under the influence of many factors, he was able to achieve his current knowledge.

Looking at Jiang Xingzong's relaxed brows, Sheng Changquan knew that his cousin had roughly understood something.

"Haha, cousin, do you know why I want to get involved in this matter?"

Sheng Changquan smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Actually, with my current status, I am simply not qualified to be a chess piece."

"But, since I have chosen the imperial examination path, there are some things that are not up to you!"

Sheng Changquan's voice was light, but the meaning was profound.

"If you don't want to be like this in the future, the best way is to actively integrate into it and lead it yourself!"

Jiang Xingzong did not comfort or say anything about this, because he knew the meaning of Sheng Changquan's words.

Since Sheng Changquan participated in the imperial examination, he would inevitably be involved in the whirlpool in the court. However, because of his close relationship with Shen Li and the Yu Mansion, it was natural for him to choose a camp.

Of course, the most important thing is that Sheng Changquan does not exclude their camp, and even approves of them.

"Because of my relationship with my grandmother, my visit to the Yu Mansion is not out of the ordinary. Therefore, having me serve as the contact person between the two families can reduce the impact, so that the Shen family's actions will not be noticed by outsiders."

Sheng Changquan briefly explained the reason why he was chosen, and then continued with another reason.

"Furthermore, I am also inclined to Lord Shen's governing philosophy and feel that this is not the time to raise troops."

Regarding Shen Shouzheng's policy of governing the country, Sheng Changquan also learned about it through Shen Li. It was not that Shen Shouzheng did not support the recovery of the country, he just felt that there were no conditions for starting a war at the moment. At this time, it was more important to strengthen the national strength, restore and even restore the country.

The national strength exceeded that of the Taizong period. Only then would it be the best fighter!

One generation does one thing, and the best responsibility for Renzong's generation is to recuperate and restore the country's strength. After those children from back then grow up and leave heirs, it is time to truly launch an army to regain the country.

However, these things must be left to the next generation.

Sheng Changquan told Jiang Xingzong about Shen Shouzheng's thoughts, and then said: "Actually, Master Shen is right. If the court raises troops at this time like those Wu Xun teased, the final result will probably be that both sides will lose!

"

"Not to mention, the East Palace is currently undecided, and we don't know if anything will happen in the future!"

Because he was in his study, Sheng Changquan was not afraid that his words would be spread. After all, he had already checked this yard, and there was no room for eavesdropping.

"Oh, Xiao Qi, that's what you said!"

Jiang Xingzong was fascinated by what he heard, and for a moment he called Sheng Changquan by his previous title.

Sheng Changquan didn't care, but lowered his voice and continued: "Actually, Mr. Yu Ge once told me that it was because Lord Shen had this idea that he was willing to recommend him. Otherwise, if Lord Sun from the Ministry of Civil Affairs were replaced,

I'm afraid Mr. Yu Ge won't even pay attention to him."

"Because Mr. Sun supports those martial arts and the military action."

"Right now, several elders in the cabinet are trying their best to suppress those warriors and stop them from raising troops. But if Mr. Sun is allowed to join the cabinet, then the cabinet may not be able to suppress it.

.”

After all, fortresses are often stormed from within.

"I see!"

"Xiao Qi, if you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have known the twists and turns here."

Jiang Xingzong humbly accepted the teachings of his cousin, and finally had a deeper understanding of the situation in the court.

Although he often discussed current affairs with his classmates in his spare time, they were more of a way of venting. Ultimately, they were nothing more than trying to participate in the pleasure of being a chess player.

But in fact, they are just talking about it, and they cannot receive some important information at all. In addition, their "high opinions" actually have no practical experience. Therefore, their "politics" cannot be understood by people who know the business.

In his eyes, it was just like a joke.

"Haha, cousin, we haven't reached that point yet!"

Sheng Changquan smiled, with a vague look in his eyes: "After we are named on the gold medal list, we will have a lot of fame!"

"Let's just wait and see. Tomorrow, I believe it will be even more lively..."

…

At this time, the Shen family, the Sun family, the Li family... and countless other forces that are interested in joining the cabinet are making their last efforts. Each one is recruiting members of the clan with bright lights, and the staff are planning for tomorrow's court, and even

, even the cabinet elders are talking by the light of day, speculating on the identity of the person who will join the cabinet tomorrow, and calculating who will be the final winner.

On the other hand, the Yu family, who was at the center of the storm, was uncharacteristically calm and silent.
