Chapter 332

There is no merchant who does not speculate. Big officials and businessmen like the Zheng family are actually more concerned about politics than politicians. The wind direction of the imperial court is not only related to their profits and wealth, but also life and death. Although they are as rich as their country, they are in the wrong line in the Court Affairs, and the result is likely to be nothing to worry about.

Politicians may be able to retreat bravely or stay in a neutral position, but the Zheng family is a family that depends on the wind direction of the court. It's a bit like a farmer who is looking forward to good weather. A strong wind or heavy rain, for others, may be blowing down a few tiles on the house, at most is flooding, the house collapsed, these lost can be rebuilt; for farmers, it may mean a year without harvest, the whole family starved to death.

Zheng Anshun is a very smart and cautious man, but no matter how he conceals it, Qin mubai obviously feels his urgency - the clouds and waves above the court are treacherous, the wind is hard to determine, his Zheng family is confused for a moment, and he doesn't know how to stand in line. This feeling of burning buttocks can't be felt by others.

Therefore, he rashly stayed in Xiangyang and waited to meet Qin mubai. He invited all his family to the villa, and could not avoid the temptation of Wu Meiniang.

People like Zheng Anshun will definitely not do something pointless. To put it bluntly, he wanted to get some "internal reference" from Qin mubai, or ask for some advice. After all, Qin mubai is now the red man in front of the emperor. Also a member of the royal family.

At the same time, Qin mubai thought more deeply than Zheng Anshun. To tell you the truth, the survival of the Zheng family is far more important than that of the imperial court. Qin mubai really didn't pay attention to the former. Without the Zheng family, the richest man, there will be a second richest man.

From another point of view, the Zheng family has a deep relationship with themselves, and their wealth can be used for themselves?

Today's banquet looks like the wind is clear and the clouds are light. The two men as the protagonists, however, seem to be in a turbulent undercurrent with different thoughts.

Qin mubai didn't discuss much about politics with Zheng Anshun in public. In front of these women, they were more relaxed and indifferent. Silk and bamboo music, wine, food and fruit plate, enjoy without mustard.

But the careful Wu Meiniang had noticed the subtle changes of the two men's feelings. At first, she thought that they were fighting secretly because of their jealousy. After distinguishing them clearly, she thought that today's meal was unusual. It's about the rise and fall of several big families.

After the meal, Qin mubai asked Pang Fei to take Baiqi with her. She accompanied Princess Gaoyang and Shuanger to hunt birds in the bamboo forest in the back mountain. Her mother was tired and rested under the service of several maidservants. Qin mubai was invited by Zheng Anshun to enjoy an ancient chessboard in his private bamboo Pavilion. He said it was Zheng Anshun's only treasure.

Qin mubai has no interest in appreciating antiques. After they sat down, they got to the point in less than a minute.

Zheng Anshun stopped putting on airs and said, "brother Qin, don't tell lies in front of real people. Now when you and I talk, we can go out of your mouth and into someone's ear. If we can't go up to the world, we can speak frankly. Zheng admits that he has made friends with his life and hopes brother Qin will believe it. "

"I believe it." Qin mubai nodded with a smile. "Brother Zheng looks up to you. You can say what you want."

"Actually, brother Qin knows what Zheng wants to say." Zheng Anshun's expression is rarely severe and dignified, said, "Zheng just wants to know, in the future, who will inherit the great Tang Dynasty?"

After listening, Qin Mu Bai twisted his eyebrows and raised his lips in a strange arc. He kept this expression for more than a minute. He even shook his head helplessly. "To tell you the truth, I'm not too clear."

Zheng Anshun seems not surprised by the answer. In today's world, I'm afraid no one can give an accurate answer. Not even the emperor.

He asked: "if the scope is narrowed down, Zheng thinks there are no more than four people. Prince Chengqian, Wei Wangtai, Jin Wangzhi, and Wu Wangke. "

"Well." Qin Mu Bai nodded gently, Zheng Anshun said this sentence is pure nonsense, but it is essential in the current language environment.

"Brother Qin, who is more likely?"

"What do you think?" Qin mubai asked. It's not to unload the burden and push the hand. He really wants to listen to Zheng Anshun, a bystander.

Zheng Anshun smiles, as if expecting Qin mubai to ask this question. He says, "if we narrow the scope a little, Zheng thinks that Prince Chengqian and Wei Wangtai can be ruled out."

"Oh?" Qin Mu Bai can't help but feel surprised smile, "this is strange. Now, the voice of the highest is the king of Wei, but you have the wisdom to say that the king of Wei can be ruled out. What's your reason? "

"It's easy." Zheng Anshun said, "Jiao Jiao is easy to pollute, Yao Yao is easy to break. The king of Wei was too eager to make quick profits, too eager to get them, and overcorrected them. It's the same with doing business. The more you want the goods, the more you have to pretend not to be interested. Otherwise, the seller will think that it's a rare commodity and will start with you. "

"It's interesting." Qin mubai couldn't help laughing and said, "the king of Wei really worked very hard and worked very hard. He could even describe it as trying his best. After the founding of the people's Republic of China, his majesty listened to Wei Zheng and other people's opinions, hid soldiers and governed schools, and governed the world with literature. As a result, the king of Wei made great efforts to cultivate literature and gathered scholars to compile anthologies. His disciples were like crucian carp in the river, and he was also gifted. His majesty missed the late empress Chang sun, so the king of Wei proposed to build a great Ci'en Temple to commemorate empress Chang sun. His majesty loved calligraphy, and he practiced hard day and night. His majesty advocated frugality, so the king of Wei put on his old clothes and went to Wude hall to meet him. He is very careful in his business. It's all in the favor of the emperor. "Zheng Anshun said with a smile: "but now, your majesty. It's not all on one's own likes and dislikes to decide who's in the world. Although he liked the king of Wei very much, he would not choose him as a reserve because of his preference. As the saying goes, if things are abnormal, there will be demons. The king of Wei will be the emperor and the emperor behind him. One day it will happen. His speculative management and hypocrisy will sooner or later fall into the eyes and ears of the emperor. At that time, he will be even worse than the prince. "

"Refined and eccentric." Qin Mu Bai nodded his approval and said, "therefore, I am not optimistic about the king of Wei. If the prince is a real villain, he is a hypocrite. Sometimes, I would rather work with real villains than get too close to hypocrites. A real villain is hateful, but pitiful; a hypocrite is hateful, but terrible. "

"Brother Qin really hit the nail on the head." Zheng Anshun took a long breath, spit out slowly, nodded his head sincerely and said with a smile, "it's rare for brother Qin to say such heartfelt words to me. Zheng is really grateful!"

"It's nothing." Qin mubai said with a smile, "in fact, we all know what we just said, but few people are willing to say it. Maybe the emperor had some in his mind, but he thought more than us, more comprehensive than us. If the Emperor didn't want to make Li Tai a reserve, it was a lie. Even though there are some defects in his character, Li Tai is more in line with the standard of a conservative king. There is no barefoot and no perfect person in Jin Dynasty. The emperor must have a point in his mind. But he thinks more about it, I'm afraid it's another thing. "

"What's the matter?" Zheng Anshun asked softly, but his mind was tight.

Next, it may be Zheng Anshun, who is willing to spend billions of money to redeem the golden rule!

Qin mubai smiles and takes a cup of tea to drink slowly. He said, "brother Zheng, you'd better go downstairs first."

Zheng Anshun got up obediently and ran to the stairs like a boy. He was shocked: "Meiniang..."

Qin mubai smile: "forget it, let her up."

Wu Meiniang came upstairs. Her face was a little red, but she didn't mean to be ashamed. On the contrary, she laughed calmly. "I know you're talking about national affairs. I shouldn't have eavesdropped," he said. But... "

"No need to explain. Explanation is cover up. " Qin mubai said with a smile, "you should care about this kind of thing. Come and sit down."

Zheng Anshun shakes his head and laughs. He goes downstairs and sends all the people out. Then he seals the stairs with bamboo and sits down safely.

"The walls won't have ears now."

Wu Meiniang gave a shy smile. Said: "you should have known that I was down there for a long time, right? It was said to me on purpose. "

"I really don't know." Zheng Anshun said with a smile, "Zheng has no power to bind a chicken. Of course, he is not as discerning as brother Qin's martial arts practitioners."

Qin mubai gave a smile and said, "it doesn't matter. Even if Meiniang doesn't ask, I will tell her these things. After all, it's a family. You're still my good wife and think tank. Who can I tell if I don't tell you? "

"Hey, hey..." Wu Meiniang seldom smiles a little complacently. Inadvertently glanced at Zheng Anshun, see him look calm, heart gradually from peace of mind, hand on the table also unconscious put to Qin mubai's knee, gently caress.

Qin mubai, like a nobody, said with ease: "in fact, the emperor wants to establish a reserve. What he considers is nothing more than these layers. One is the ability of the crown prince. This seems to be the most important thing, but it is not. The emperor conquered the country. The system of military, political, and civil branches of the Zhenguan Dynasty has been perfected, and there are a large number of loyal and pure ministers who are determined to serve. No one will have a big problem with such a team and family. Even if he is a mediocre person, as long as he doesn't make a fuss, the country of Tang Dynasty can't be bad for a while. In other words, the emperor's expectations of his successor were not high. As long as he can be the king of success. "

"It's a word that wakes up the dreamer. I really know how to drink!" Zheng Anshun exclaimed, "this view, Zheng really is the first time to hear!"

"But it's not only Qin who knows. It's just that none of the emperor's officials or the court officials would tell brother Zheng this kind of words Qin mubai said with a smile.

As soon as Zheng Anshun's expression changed, he immediately bowed his hands and bowed: "brother Qin has a heavy weapon, and Zheng feels that he is engraved in his heart!"

"Not necessarily." Qin mubai still smiles indifferently. "The second level of consideration is morality," he continued. There is a saying that people with special skills can start a country and establish a nation, while those who want to be successful and start a business need to have both ability and political integrity. Therefore, it is more difficult to keep success than to start a country. No one knows this better than the emperor. Choose the prince. Probably because of this consideration. Therefore, the immoral Prince's life will not last long. As for who will eventually take the upper position, it is still hard to say. But I think the emperor's moral requirements for the new crown prince, among the four items of etiquette, righteousness, benevolence and filial piety, he valued filial piety most

Zheng Anshun stares at his eyes in amazement. Qin mubai didn't make it clear, and he couldn't make it clear. Do you want to force him to say it. Is the emperor afraid of the recurrence of Xuanwu Gate? ——Especially after Li you's rebellion in Dengzhou, the emperor showed more obvious in this aspect! He hated his father and son for turning against each other. He was worried that if one of his sons and nephews would not stay after a hundred years, it would be the biggest disaster of the Li family and the biggest failure of Li Shimin's life!After all, Li Shimin is a man, not a God, not a saint. If his own son killed each other, how could he be embarrassed? In this way, the stain of his first reciter will be magnified infinitely, and his life pursuit of being a wise king will become a laughing stock. And Who would like their children to die? If tiger poison doesn't eat children, what about people? Li Shimin's most urgent and intuitive wish is to avoid this tragedy while he is still alive and in power!

After Qin Mu Bai's words, Zheng Anshun wakes up in a dream and is bright. The harder Li Tai worked, the farther away he was from the Dragon chair he had dreamed of. What the emperor wants is not a son who is capable, loyal and devoted to his father, but a sincere and filial Lord!

Think of here, Zheng Anshun can't help but feel a daze in his heart, inexplicably think of Li Ke! ——Over the years, Li Ke has been assisted by Qin mubai. Always pay attention to filial piety. For example, when he was in Jiangzhou, he preferred to be criticized and punished, but also to hide the fact that the prince and Shengnan Marquis had an affair with each other. At that time, the emperor criticized him openly and secretly. After finishing the Jiangzhou case, he didn't give a reward and scolded him in public, but later he gave him a generous reward for the lack of a governor of Xiangzhou. Among the many events in Xiangzhou, Li Ke rushed back to see the princess off in person He also gave the jade seal to fulfill his father's long cherished wish in his life, and then warmly welcomed the unworthy Prince for nearly a month. Although he was very impatient, he was still lenient and did not report to the imperial court. These, in the law, can be regarded as shielding, but secretly won the praise of the emperor's filial piety. Finally, it was Li you's rebellion. This is a heinous crime. In the face of such a big event, Li Ke still put his feelings first, and spared no effort to persuade Li you to go back to Beijing and admit his mistake to his father, instead of escorting him to ask for a reward from his father.

All of these are beyond enumeration.

There is no doubt about it. In the eyes of Li Shimin, Li Ke's impression of filial piety is thousands of times better than that of Li Chengqian who is immoral and Li Tai who is constantly exposing and undermining his brothers.

What's more, Li Ke has the ability, aspiration, ambition and mind

Zheng Anshun can't help but shiver. When he looks at Qin mubai again, there is a sense of awe and awe in his eyes. Is it true that Qin mubai has been helping Li Ke win the business from the beginning?!

Qin mubai is still indifferent, drinking some tea slowly and politely.

She was as smart as Wu Meiniang. For a moment, she didn't know what the two men were playing. She was suspicious and hard to ask. In the face of such a big event, she knows how to be silent and low-key at the right time, which is the reason why Qin mubai likes her best - knowing current affairs and general situation.

"There's also one of the most important reasons, which is that about half of the chips decide who will be in the top position in the end." Qin mubai smiles and understates, "brother Zheng, you are as smart as you. You must know something is wrong. It's like. What do you value most when you do business with a rich family? "

"Strength." Zheng Anshun also gave a brief and comprehensive answer.

"Yes. In fact, it's all about assistance. The core and most important thing is strength. " Qin Mu Bai smiles slightly, and a sharp light in his eyes is shining like a star on a cold night.

Wu Meiniang's eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she was as calm as Qin mubai, but she threw out what Qin mubai thought but didn't say. Words and phrases are like thunder in the sky -

"what kind of blood and family are all camouflage and deception. Who is the strong force behind, who represents the party who wins the game, who will be the final leader. Even if he is only a side royal family of the Li family

Qin Mu Bai glanced at Wu Meiniang with a slight flick of his eyebrow. He gave Wu Meiniang a look of approval and sipped a sip of tea. "One force presses one hundred skills. That's it. "
