Chapter 2590 The taste of power in Gui Zi Juan, who can rival it?
King Zhonghui was so decisive this time that even his brother King Zhongshun was impressed.
When he left Feng Ziying's mansion and returned to the carriage, King Zhongshun couldn't help but ask: "Old Shi, why is your attitude different this time? Are you so actively participating in the development of Liaodong?"
“What, Ninth Brother, do you think something is wrong?” King Zhonghui sat firmly in the carriage and asked calmly.
"It's not inappropriate. Based on our relationship with Ziying, he won't harm us, but Ziying also said that this may be a long-term investment. People will look down upon three to five million taels of silver, and they will easily ask for a hundred thousand taels of silver." After all the plans were made, the household department of the imperial court was overwhelmed, so they agreed to find a way for him to find a way out on his own. Otherwise, why would Shanxi merchants and Jiangnan merchants send their leading figures to negotiate? If we invest in it, I'm afraid we won't expect to recover our capital and profits within ten years... "
King Zhongshun reminded.
"I didn't originally think about getting it back in ten years. I just thought that with this investment, it would be best to enjoy the dividends steadily for thirty to fifty years, wouldn't it? Brother Ninth, how many years can you and I live? , The relationship with Ziying is certainly not bad, but what about our descendants? Who can stop Ziying's rising momentum? Qi Yongtai is already paving the way for it. Five years later, he will come back from Liaodong and become a minister. I’m afraid that’s too little. If he doesn’t succeed, he will join the cabinet. If he wants to become the chief minister, I’m afraid he will have to work for twenty years, maybe..."
King Zhonghui clicked his tongue and said: "Look at the current situation. He gave a summons, and the Wang family, the leader of Shanxi merchants, the Weng family, the leader of Jiangnan merchants, and the He family, the leader of salt merchants, all arrived in Beijing. It was really a bit of an order. There is no one in the business world in the Zhou Dynasty who dares to disobey. Just based on this, isn’t it possible that he won’t be able to do things in Liaodong?”
"I never doubt that it will work, but with us..." King Zhongshun pondered for a moment, "Do you think we should further strengthen our relationship with him now? Our relationship with him has already reached this point, is there still any need? Going further?"
King Zhonghui sighed leisurely, "Brother Ninth, we have to think further. You and I are old and may not be here in ten or twenty years, but as for the descendants, and with the current relationship between the court and the emperor, many things are really You can't say for sure. You are right to say that I am unfounded. But our Zhang family replaced the Zhu family, and the Great Zhou Dynasty replaced the Qian Ming Dynasty. Who could have predicted it before? Look at the original Conglong Wuxuns. How many others have achieved good results? Haha, so the cunning rabbit has three holes, it is always right for us to take one more step."
King Zhongshun fell into deep thought. After a long time, he nodded and said: "Ziying's future is unlimited. No matter what happens in the future, it will never go wrong to have a close relationship with him. How about this? I'll call Lao Ba too. You Go talk to Fifth Sister and see if they are willing to participate in this round of Liaodong development. Dividend returns in the future are one thing. If we form a good relationship now, I am afraid that the benefits will be even greater in the future."
King Zhonghui laughed when he heard what King Zhongshun said, "Brother Ninth is still great. He has become a member of our big family all of a sudden. We don't have to worry about Brother Huang. Since he sits in that position, We can't give in. His room has its own destiny. Those of us who stand aside have to rely on ourselves, right? We took the right step in Haitong Yinzhuang, but it is not enough. Liaodong is more worth betting on..."
************
When Niu Jizong came to Wang Ziteng's house, he glanced at the looming follower behind him, ignored him, and walked into Wang Ziteng's house in a big way.
Although they are all posted in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, in fact, they do not need to go to the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, and those people with the titles of Governor, Governor Tongzhi, and Governor Qianshi in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army do not have to go to the Governor's Mansion. He will go to work in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army.
As the Jiangnan incident came to an end, the turmoil that had originally aroused quietly dimmed.
Niu Jizong and Wang Ziteng have made good arrangements. Of course, given their age, it is impossible for them to sharpen their heads and find a new deputy commander like Sun Shaozu.
The two of them are over sixty, or approaching sixty, and no longer have the energy and physical strength to make a comeback, and the court will not agree. After all, their situation is not the same as that of Sun Shaozu.
But the fire that was suppressed deep in Niu Jizong's heart had never been extinguished.
He walked straight in and went straight to Wang Ziteng's study, only to see Wang Ziteng swiping ink and copying a piece of calligraphy.
"Where there are dense flowers and willows, the only way is to push them aside; when the wind is fierce and the rain is fierce, only when you stand firm can you see your feet."
Ignoring Niu Jizong who came in, the prince finished writing in one breath, then put down his wolf hair, put his hands behind his back, savored it carefully, and raised his head with satisfaction: "How is it?"
“This picture, or the content of the words?” Niu Jizong said coldly.
"Both are there. The artistic conception of the word can show the mind, and the connotation of the word can show the realm." Wang Ziteng glanced at Niu Jizong, who was a little impetuous, and curled his lips disapprovingly, "How can you plan for big things with such a small city?"
"Hmph, you and I are already sixty years old, how can there be such a big deal?" Niu Jizong said sarcastically: "I just feel that you really seem to have left everything behind now. The emperor seems to be a different person, and he will never be the same again." With the same spirit as before,..."
"Okay, how has he ever had any courage? Weren't we the ones who forced him to leave? Now is his true face. Huh, no wonder both Tang Miu and Zhu Gu abandoned him without hesitation. Now What else can he think of, other than to use various methods to seek for his lineage to succeed the crown prince? Go talk to the cabinet and reach an agreement with the cabinet, saying that he is willing to give up everything and just be a puppet with a seal. , the cabinet must agree, but they don’t agree in their hearts, and they don’t have the ability to do anything else, so why don’t they just pretend to be deaf and mute and suffer?”
Zhi Teng's words were like a knife, and he peeled off Emperor Wan Tong's mask in one fell swoop.
Niu Jizong was speechless and didn't know what to do for a while. After a long while, he sighed and sat down, "What about what we said before and what we longed for? Is there no hope at all?"
"Who said no?" Wang Ziteng asked, his eyes clearer, "I feel that hope is getting bigger and bigger. I agree with what he said. It is difficult for people who have tasted the taste of power to let it go. No one is exception. So does he."
