Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1799 Lobbying Gu Yong
"Internal and external union?" Zhang Zhao's eyes rolled for a moment, and suddenly became sharp and unparalleled. He looked at Zhou Yu and said gloomyly, "Do they dare?"

"In the current situation, there is really nothing to dare!"

Zhou Yu sighed, a little helpless, and said: "Jiangdong is weak, and the Ming Dynasty is strong enough to let the world know it, and even if you want to cover it up, you can't cover it up. Under this situation, Jiangdong's heart is hard to bear." Surely, there is no guarantee that some people will take the risk and abandon Jiangdong and lure wolves into the house!"

In terms of the current gap between Daming and Jiangdong, it's really not a tiny bit of distance. A few more Jiangdongs will not compare to the growing strength of the Ming court.

And under this kind of strength, it is hard to guarantee that some people will not be tempted.

Even if everyone in the world knows that the Ming court has always been harsh on the aristocratic family, within the territory of the Ming court, the influence of the aristocratic family has almost been reduced to zero.

But compared to the future raids, they are still a little tempted to abandon Jiangdong at this time and seek refuge in the more powerful Ming court.

And if they want to take refuge in the Ming court, they must have a petition, maybe they will turn against the guests and directly attack the people in the court to strive for greater influence.

"Not at all!"

Zhang Zhao took a deep breath, calmed himself down, shook his head, and said softly: "Our Wu Guochaotang still has some influence, and the Ming Dynasty is mostly harsh on the family and the like, so unless you are a little desperate Otherwise, I don't believe they are willing to take the risk and leave a clue for us to catch!"

What he said is also reasonable. Even though the situation in Jiangdong is a bit precarious, it is not at the end of the day.

At this time, internal stability is more important.

If they have preconceived ideas and become suspicious of vicious things, it will naturally cause some internal turmoil.

"It's still the same sentence, unless there is evidence to prove that they did it, I can't ask you to investigate them!" Zhang Zhao said firmly.

As the prime minister of Wu, he is different from Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu only needs to consider the situation of an enemy and himself, but he has to worry about the overall situation.

"let me consider it!"

Zhou Yu thought about it, and he didn't force it. At this time, stability is more important than everything else, so at this time, he will not stir up more incidents.

However, he will not let go of those shameless spies who are secretly watching their Great Wu Chaotang.

He knew very clearly in his heart that today's Jianye Capital, like a sieve, has countless loopholes, so it can't be blocked at all.

In this burnt Jianye capital, there must be the spy of Jing Wusi who has hidden countless Ming courts, but Jing Wusi's people are too cunning, and he has been pursuing it to no avail.

Wu Guo also has its own unique news network, and even a group of spies, but these spies and scouts did not form their own independent situation like Cao Cao and Mu Jing, and they seemed a bit messy.

These talents and things are basically in the hands of Zhou Yu.

After all, Zhou Yu is Sun Ce's sworn brother, one of the stable Jiangdong double walls, and Sun Ce's most trusted and valued Jiangdong adviser.

"Okay, I don't need to investigate them and increase the conflict, but I have to know how many people have betrayed us, so I want to lure the snake out of the hole!"

Zhou Yu said softly.

Sometimes, the most terrifying thing is not the enemy on the surface, but the hidden, unknown enemy. Such an enemy, like a poisonous snake, will bite you at some point.

So he didn't want Jianye to become too quiet.

"Tomorrow, in the name of arresting the local local hooligans, I plan to forcibly close the city, not allowing entry and exit, and not reporting letters, and then start a large-scale hunt for these people!"

Zhou Yu's method was a little stupid, a little simple, but very direct, and in terms of scaring snakes, it was enough to startle many snakes involuntarily.

"Will it make people's hearts shine like this!"

On the contrary, Zhang Zhao was a little worried.

"There must be some turmoil, but now that we are in charge of Jianye Capital, we are not afraid of chaos, but we are afraid that some people will continue to hide and don't want to show their heads!"

Zhou Yu said with a sneer.

"Just do as you say, I will try my best to cooperate with you, but there are some limitations, you must handle it well!" Zhang Zhao thought for a while and agreed.

"Ok!"

Zhou Yu nodded and started to plan, to see if he could find some big fish.

"What's the situation in the north now? I haven't heard from you for a long time!" Zhang Zhao asked suddenly after coughing twice.

"I'm not too sure either!"

Zhou Yu said: "After winter, the news from the north has become slower, and it is difficult to find out the specific news!"

"Investigate as much as possible!"

There was a sense of urgency in Zhang Zhao's heart, and he said quietly: "I'm worried that the Ming army will come back, and then we will be attacked. If this kind of thing really happens, we must prepare for the worst, and even put all The soldiers and horses in the army are ready to come back, and only by stabilizing Jiangdong can the court of Wu be stabilized!"

"Once you get to this point, there is no such thing as being so busy and worrying, that's the only thing!" Zhou Yu nodded. He agreed with Zhang Zhao's thoughts and understood Zhang Zhao's thoughts, but he couldn't do what Zhang Zhao did, and his His personality is different from Zhang Zhao's.

........................

Just when the city of Jianye was about to be closed, Yi Ji met with Gu Yong, a famous scholar of the Wu Kingdom and one of the Nine Ministers in the imperial court, the Gu family, Gu Yong.

"Iji?"

Gu Yong looked at this young man with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth: "Is there no one in the Ming court? Why did they choose to send you, a little man with no reputation, to visit a certain family!"

"Mr. Gu said so!"

Yiji was not in a hurry, he just smiled, and then said softly: "I am above the imperial court, but I am actually just an ordinary pawn, not enough for Mr. to look down upon!"

Gu Yong stared at Yi Ji with a look of coldness in his pupils.

The reason why he said that was just to stop Yiji's mouth. Although Yiji's reputation is not very famous, he is still a little famous.

He has lobbied many people, and in this world, he has also spread some famous names.

How could Gu Yong not know.

It's just that when Yi Ji stood in front of him, he had to resist, so he was constantly finding fault, hoping to anger his opponent first.

However, he met a panacea, Yi Ji.

Yiji's character is very stable, and no matter what time, Yiji keeps a smile on his face, as if the sky is falling, and it can't change his color. He ignored Gu Yong's expression and continued to say: "But I, a pawn, just came to deliver some news, so I don't have the ability to entertain Mr. Gu!"

Gu Yong snorted coldly, stood up with flick of his sleeves, and there was a dark and cold light in his pupils.

He had to admit that Yiji's words made him feel a little uncomfortable, as if they were slapping him.

"Mr. Gu, the situation in Jiangdong no longer needs me and you to talk about it. Now Jiangdong is in danger, and the so-called disaster is imminent. Don't Mr. Gu want to think about it for the Gu family?"

Yiji didn't go around in circles, but went straight to the point.

He came to lobby Gu Yong.

Gu Yong is a banner of the Jiangdong family. His youth is smart, intelligent, talented, capable, and experienced, and he is capable enough to bear the responsibility of the Jiangdong family.

If Gu Yong can surrender.

Then the Jiangdong family can be used by Daming.

But people like Gu Yong are sometimes very persistent. If you want to lobby people like Gu Yong, the difficulty is not a little bit, but very big, and even a little dangerous.

If Gu Yong ignored them and directly arrested them, then he would be in danger. If Wu Guo could kill them, he would definitely not dare to take them lightly.

"You Daming, will you definitely win?"

Gu Yong asked back.

"Why not?" Yiji asked confidently.

This made Gu Yong hesitate a bit.

How could he not know the change of the situation.

However, he is very clear that even if Da Ming rules the world, as long as Da Ming has not entered Jiangdong, then his surrender is a betrayal.

Several generations of the Gu family have established themselves in Jiangdong, and they have established today's foundation. He is unwilling to have any problems.

"Even if you Ming win, this world is a mess, and with your emperor's ruthlessness, you are absolutely murderous. You are not a wise king, but a violent one!"

Gu Yong said in a low voice: "I would rather die of old age for Jiangdong than enter the Ming Realm!"

What he said was a little harsh.

But it can express his attitude at this time.

"Mr. Gu, don't draw conclusions too early!" Yi Ji smiled: "The current situation is changing too fast. I don't know what will happen tomorrow, and I don't know what will happen to you the day after tomorrow. It will be the same!"

He firmly believed in his heart that Daming would win, but he also knew very well that the victory was not called out, but played out, so he couldn't show some mentality too much.

Otherwise, this will give people a preconceived attitude.

"Yes!"

Gu Yong sighed: "How can we know what will happen tomorrow today? It's just that the situation has reached today. The princes of the Han Dynasty still have the strength to fight!"

There is no decisive battle in the northern border yet, but the people of the world are indeed desperate, because the Ming army has taught too many people a lesson, and also given too many people confidence.

"Mr. Gu, in fact, sometimes, we are more inclined, Jiangdong people rule Jiangdong!"

Yiji proposed a concept.

"Jiangdong people rule Jiangdong?"

Gu Yong's eyes burned brightly.

Does this tell him that if Daming can seize Jiangdong, he will hand over Jiangdong to the people of Jiangdong to manage it? Although he very much hopes that there will be such a day, he dare not easily have extravagant hopes.

His rationality told him that once he had extravagant expectations, many things would be unprincipled.

"Is that what you mean, or..."

"Our Majesty's thoughts!" Yi Ji said in a low voice: "Your Majesty once said that the world only needs peace. As for who will rule the world, it is not so particular. The gap between regions has always existed. The people in the county are all in groups, so why not come up with some strategies for the local people to govern the local area, which can not only release the power of the local area, but also save the power of the court, if the local people can live and work in peace, why not do it!"

He didn't say what he said casually.

Mu Jing didn't think so either.

He just embellished it a little bit.

Mu Jing had such an idea at the beginning, but it was rejected from the very beginning, and he knew very well that this was also a transition, centralization of power, that is a major principle that cannot be changed.

Of course, he can use this kind of sweetness to fool some people now, after all, Jiangdong is still not the Great Ming Dynasty.

Really wait until the Ming Dynasty took Jiangdong, how to govern Jiangdong at that time, or the emperor made a mess, at worst he will bear the consequences of this gaffe on his own.

As long as the Great Ming Dynasty can rule the world, his personal honor is no longer on him.

Daming became stronger and stronger not only because of Mujing, but also because under the influence of Mujing, in the court of Daming, there were not the kind of officials who were pursuing power and interests, but more officials were pursuing A heart to govern the world, a responsibility to heal the world, and he is struggling.

Yiji is such a person.

However, Gu Yong is not such an easy-to-fool person, he sneered: "Uncle Yi, don't talk nonsense here, Mu Longtu, I understand this person, but this person's strength will not let us have Whoever has the opportunity to be in charge of Jiangdong is afraid that if we take Jiangdong down with the front foot, he will eat us with the back foot!"

"Not necessarily!"

Yi Ji smiled, there was no surprise, and he didn't think Gu Yong was so easy to deal with. If Gu Yong was such an easy to deal with, then he didn't need to rack his brains.

He said calmly: "Although your majesty has the power to be strong, it is for the sake of the world, but the world is too big, and your majesty has limited energy, how can you cover it? Even if this kind of thinking is only temporary, it may not be yours." Opportunity, if you have a chance in the future and can manage Jiangdong for ten years, then even if the imperial court has the idea of ​​taking back your power, it may not be successful, and the imperial court will compromise for the stability of the place at that time!"

There is a market for this kind of argument. With the current system of the Han Dynasty, it is very difficult to take back local power.

However, in the Ming Dynasty Hall, it may not be the case. The brand-new system established by Mu Jing has made the core cohesion of the Ming Dynasty Hall countless times beyond this era.

Moreover, if the imperial power does not come down to the county, it is just empty talk.

Gu Yong has no way to understand this point.

Gu Yong's idea is actually very simple, he just wants an opportunity, between Jiangdong and Daming Chaotang, he got an opportunity, but Yiji is superior, Yiji's idea is to take Gu Yong first It's down, as long as Gu Yong is taken down, everything else is very easy.

Gu Yong was silent for a while, and he was a little shaken. In fact, considering the current situation, it is not easy for Daming to rule the world. If he can win himself, he may be more qualified.

"No matter what, I am still a minister of Wu!"

Gu Yong said calmly.

"It doesn't matter!"

Yi Ji shook his head and said, "One day, the state of Wu will not exist, and I don't need you to betray the state of Wu, but I hope you can support Sun Zhongmou to take power!"
