"First is the Right Prime Minister, Feng Quji.”
Jiang Yue said," Feng Quji's status is higher than Li Si's. He's the true leader of all officials! If this person could plead on behalf of Li Si, many officials would naturally go along with him and the Emperor would have a chance to pardon Li Si. However, this was impossible! He and Li Si had never gotten along with Feng Quji!”
"This, indeed…"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng sighed.
Feng Quji and Li Si's relationship wasn't just bad.
One of them was a conservative, while the other was a bold reformist. For the sake of national policy, they argued with each other. Even Qin Shihuang had to be the mediator time and time again.
How could such a person plead for Li Si?
He couldn't wait for Li Si to die!
Furthermore, many of the officials were Feng Quji's disciples, while Li Si had almost no friends in the court.
Of course, one could also say that there was one, and that was Qin Shihuang himself.
If it wasn't for Qin Shihuang's support, Li Si's attitude would have made him unable to stay in the Great Qin Imperial Court.
"Feng Quji is impossible, but what about the other person?”
"The possibility of the other person isn't high either…"
Jiang Yue smiled and said," He has this authority and influence, but there's nothing he can do. He definitely won't get involved in this muddy water!”
"Who is it?"
"It's that incomparably cunning old fox, Wang Jian.”
What the f * ck?
Wang Ben's face turned green.
You dare to say that my father is cunning?
Wang Ben clenched his fist and broke the chopsticks in his hand.
"Day? What are you doing?"
When Jiang Yue saw this, she immediately said," I say, Old Wang, I'm talking about Wang Jian. What are you getting excited for?!"”
"I…"
Wang Ben took a deep breath and grinned." Nothing, nothing…"
How could I not be agitated when you called my father cunning?
"Hehe, it's Old Wang's family after all.”
Ying Zheng smiled and said," This kid, whenever he hears someone with the surname Wang, he will think of himself as one family. Sir, please don't blame him…"
"Hehe, there's such a hobby."
Jiang Yue smiled and said," You have a strong sense of clan!”
"Please continue, sir…"
Ying Zheng glanced at Wang Ben and continued.
"Wang Jian has extraordinary abilities and never fights a battle without preparation. He wins every battle, but he has his own unique characteristics.”
Jiang Yue said," Before every battle, he would ask the King of Qin for a large number of treasures and beautiful women.”
"Sir, are you trying to say that he is greedy?"
"He's not greedy at all. He's just pretending.”
Jiang Yue smiled and said," He, Wang Jian, has conquered countless cities and territories and received countless rewards. However, he just had to extend his hand to the Emperor to ask for money and women while he was leading his troops to war. This is cunning.”
"What do you mean?"
"Think about it, there must be something you want.”
Jiang Yue said," Wang Jian set off with hundreds of thousands of troops. Do you think the First Emperor is worried that Wang Jian will rebel? Only a fool wouldn't worry!"
"This…"
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes immediately turned unnatural.
This time, it was his turn to be embarrassed.
He was really worried that Wang Jian would rebel or something…
After all, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers were in Wang Jian's hands. If he suddenly changed sides and led his army into Xianyang, wouldn't Great Qin's territory change hands?
No matter how much the monarch trusted him, he would still feel a little scared.
This was human instinct…
Ying Zheng did have such concerns, but he felt a little embarrassed when he heard it in front of Wang Ben.
"What kind of person is Wang Jian, how can I not know?”
Jiang Yue said," Therefore, at this time, we have to think of a way to dispel the king's worries. How to dispel it? Since ancient times, it had been divided into three strategies.”
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's interest was piqued." Which three plans?”
"As the old saying goes, the best policy is to attack the heart, the middle policy is to attack the strategy, and the worst policy is to attack the army.”
Jiang Yue said,"The same is true of the human world." The worst strategy was to use troops. It was the most stupid and straightforward way to gain the trust of the king. I will only do what I have to do and focus on doing it. How many generals in the six dynasties had made such a mistake? They had obediently done their own thing. In the end, they were alienated. The monarch had suspected the heavens, but he had not reacted. This was called stupidity. He deserved to be killed!”
"What's the second plan?"
"The middle strategy."
Jiang Yue smiled and said," This means that you're starting to use your brain, but it's not enough. When it came to gaining the trust of the king, it was to speak bluntly and speak up for oneself. His words were extremely sincere and moved the heavens and earth. It would be fine if the Emperor trusted him from now on. If someone were to slander him again, he might lose his life! At the end of the day, this plan was both feasible and not feasible. Look at the vassals and kingdoms for hundreds of years. Are there still fewer such things?”
"Mhm, that is indeed the case."
Hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded heavily." Sir, what you said is very reasonable! Then, what is the best plan?"
"The best thing to do is to do what Old Man Wang did.”
Jiang Yue smiled and said," The best policy is to attack the heart. The most fundamental thing to gain the emperor's trust is to make the emperor believe in you, and always believe in you! What would Wang Jian do? Firstly, he would not do nothing. Secondly, he would not deliberately say that he was loyal in front of the First Emperor. Therefore, he used his actions to make the First Emperor believe in him!
What did he do? He wanted beauties, land, and rewards! Especially when he was leading troops outside. In the eyes of others, this could be considered a threat. And Old Man Wang wanted others to feel this way!”
"What do you mean?"
"Think about it. The Emperor felt threatened and had no choice but to give him these. But what are these threats? Beautiful women, land, and rewards. Who would want these things? This is something that only I want! At most, Wang Jian would only be said to be greedy and lustful. Could this matter be considered a rebellion with ill intentions? This could only be said that in Wang Jian's bones, he only wanted to be an official who coveted wealth and sex. If the Emperor felt this, would he still suspect that Wang Jian was rebelling?”
"Hehe, what Mister said is indeed true!”
Ying Zheng smiled and said," So, even if the Emperor is displeased with him after giving it to him, he will at most give him a reprimand and take back the reward.”
"That's right. This reward is originally very important. Even if the Emperor turns hostile and takes it back, so what?”
Jiang Yue said," Did Wang Jian suffer any losses?”
"Of course not!"
Ying Zheng smiled and looked at Wang Ben, who was standing beside him, dumbfounded.
