Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 291 each with their own minds

On the surface, it seemed that Fan Wencheng was at a disadvantage when he recruited Li Jing this time, and followed Li Jing's thinking all the way into the pit Li Jing dug for him.

In fact, Fan Wencheng's ability is not bad, and he has done enough homework beforehand, and his way of dealing with problems is basically the same as Li Jing's. They both target each other's weaknesses.

It's just that the weaknesses that Fan Wencheng found were not Li Jing's real weaknesses, because Li Jing was not conceited or greedy for money, and he was completely wrong about being dissatisfied with Daming.

The object of Li Jing's dissatisfaction is the Ming court and the Ming system, not the country.

Li Jing is extremely loyal to the country of Ming Dynasty and the nation of Han nationality.

Regarding the surrender of Li Jing, Fan Wencheng believed that this was just making Li Jing betray the Ming court, but in fact it was making Li Jing betray the country and nation.

When Li Jing scolded Fan Wencheng, he kept emphasizing that Fan Wencheng had betrayed the country and the nation.

Fan Wencheng didn't understand that there was an essential difference between the two, so naturally he would not succeed.

On the contrary, what Li Jing grasped was Fan Wencheng's real weakness.

There is no doubt that Fan Wencheng is a traitor, and he himself knows it.

Therefore, when Li Jing raised the great banner of national righteousness, Fan Wencheng had to bow his head, and his momentum naturally became discouraged, and his original eloquence was useless at this time.

In addition, Fan Wencheng became a traitor because he was afraid of death.

Li Jing suppressed him with national righteousness, and threatened him with death, how could Fan Wencheng have room to resist?
In addition, the most important point is that Li Jing has strength, and Li Jing's strength is much stronger than that of Hou Jin.

When Hou Jin recruited Li Jing, it was like a wild dog saying to a tiger: Follow me, be my younger brother, and I will protect you from now on.

But they don't know that the reason why the tiger doesn't eat the wild dogs now is because the wild dogs are still useful right now, because the tiger still needs the wild dogs to contain the weakened elephant of the Ming court.

Huang Taiji, Fan Wencheng and others didn't even understand the strength of the target, so naturally they were completely defeated in the end.

However, Fan Wencheng was not given for nothing. When Fan Wencheng was driven out of the mansion by Li Jing, he was blown by the wind, calmed down a little, and immediately understood Li Jing's intentions.

After figuring out Li Jing's intentions, Fan Wencheng broke out in a cold sweat.Fan Wencheng knew that he was about to face disaster.

But people like Fan Wencheng will never stand still.

Fan Wencheng reassessed the situation in an instant. He knew that since Li Jing drove him out, he would never see him again. He tried his best to show his loyalty to Li Jing, but this way was no longer feasible.

As for returning to Houjin, now is definitely not the time.

After going back, as long as he told the story of what happened here, Huang Taiji would probably cut off his head without even thinking about it.

After thinking silently for a while, Fan Wencheng finally came up with an idea.

Thinking of a good idea, Fan Wencheng quickly took his men back to the inn, wrote down what happened in Pingyang Mansion in detail, and then ordered his men to ride a fast horse back to Shengjing (Shenyang) to report to Huang Taiji at night.

Fan Wencheng wrote very detailed in the letter, including that Li Jing didn't hide anything or revise what Li Jing said.

Because he knew that this matter could not be concealed, even if he did not tell Huang Taiji, Li Jing would find a way to let Huang Taiji know.Instead, tell the truth to yourself.

In addition, Fan Wencheng did not tell Huang Taiji his future plans in the letter. This is Pingyang Mansion and Li Jing's territory. It is really easy for Li Jing to intercept his letter. Writing his plans in the letter is tantamount to Tell Li Jing how he plans to deal with him.

Asking his subordinates to report back first is the first step for Fan Wencheng to save himself, and he needs to give himself a buffer time.

When Huang Taiji learned of what happened here, he would definitely be furious, but Fan Wencheng himself has not returned, so this anger cannot be vented on Fan Wencheng for the time being. With this time, Huang Taiji will calm down and Think about Li Jing's purpose in doing this.

The second step of Fan Wencheng's self-rescue was to spread rumors after leaving Pingyang Mansion, saying that Li Jing contacted Houjin's envoys with the intention of treason.

With Zhu Youjian's suspicious character, he will definitely suspect Li Jing, and it is very likely that Li Jing will be questioned.

If Zhu Youjian can take down Li Jing, it will be tantamount to helping Hou Jin get rid of Li Jing's scourge.Even if Li Jing cannot be taken down, Li Jing will definitely not be reused in the future.

At this time, Fan Wencheng carried out the third step, finding someone to assassinate Li Jing.

Fan Wencheng's daring to do this depends entirely on his understanding of Huang Taiji.

Fan Wencheng obviously understood Huang Taiji's personality better than Li Jing, and he also understood Huang Taiji's handling style better than Li Jing.

A person as talented and bold as Huang Taiji will never be blinded by anger. As long as Huang Taiji is given a period of time to think about it, Huang Taiji will make a correct judgment.

Under the surveillance of Li Jing's guards, Fan Wencheng left Pingyang Mansion with his men.

After leaving Pingyang Mansion, seeing Li Jing's guards return, Fan Wencheng immediately rushed to the capital day and night.

It's just that Fan Wencheng didn't know that everything he did fell into Li Jing's eyes.

Even Li Jing knew the content of Fan Wencheng's letter to Huang Taiji.

After reading Fan Wencheng's letter to Huang Taiji and knowing Fan Wencheng's course of action, Li Jing secretly sighed: This Fan Wencheng is really a character.

As for how Fan Wencheng planned to save himself, Li Jing could guess a thing or two, but Li Jing did not stop Fan Wencheng's move.

It's too much to go too far. Li Jing still understands this truth. Killing Fan Wencheng and stopping Fan Wencheng's actions will not solve any problems, on the contrary, it will destroy his previous layout.

Li Jing knew very well that no matter how well Fan Wencheng did, the humiliation Houjin suffered this time could not be undone.As long as this humiliation is not washed away, Fan Wencheng and the Han people will be untrustworthy and unbearable in the eyes of the princes and nobles of the Hou Jin Dynasty.

Li Jing only needs to achieve this goal. As for Fan Wencheng, Li Jing will have plenty of time to deal with him in the future.

In addition, Li Jing also wanted to see Zhu Youjian's reaction to this matter. Li Jing could only make the next move based on Zhu Youjian's reaction.

Time, Li Jing needs time to cultivate talents, and time to perfect the system he made in Pingyang Mansion.

What Li Jing didn't expect was that it was Cao Huachun who told Zhu Youjian the news of Hou Jin's contact with him.

Hearing the news, Li Jing shook his head silently.

Li Jing knew that Cao Huachun himself was not bribed by Fan Wencheng, it was Fan Wencheng who informed Cao Huachun of the news through his servants.

To Li Jing's disappointment, after Cao Huachun learned the news, he told Zhu Youjian without any judgment or confirmation.

Cao Huachun has outstanding literary talents, is proficient in poetry, calligraphy and painting, and communicates with the writers of the Donglin Party all day long. In Li Jing's view, Cao Huachun's books are really useless.

But Zhu Youjian's performance was beyond Li Jing's expectation.

After hearing Cao Huachun's secret report, Zhu Youjian thought about it for a long time, and then ordered Cao Huachun not to mention it again.

It's just that Zhu Youjian never expected that just after Cao Huachun was explained here, another minister immediately reported the news.

Hearing the minister's report, Zhu Youjian's mood was very similar to Li Jing's. He secretly sighed in his heart that these ministers are really a bunch of idiots, and Hou Jin Mingming is using alienation tactics. How can such a simple trick not be seen through?
At this time, Zhu Youjian knew that he could no longer suppress the news. If he continued to suppress the news, Li Jing would suspect that he was preparing to deal with him secretly, and Li Jing might rebel because of this.

After weighing the powerful relationship among them, Zhu Youjian did not dare to neglect, and severely reprimanded the ministers who were present in the court, and then issued a decree to praise Li Jing.

At the same time, Zhu Youjian ordered Zongzheng of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to go to Pingyang Mansion to propose marriage to Li Jing, to promise Princess Kunxing (Princess Changping) Zhu Yu to Li Jinguo's son Li Anguo, and revealed the idea of ​​making Li Jing's daughter a princess in the future .

Zhu Youjian was helpless to the extreme, because he really had no other way to show favor to Li Jing.

A few months ago, when Li Jing was fighting Houjin in Datong, Li Jing's daughter was born. At that time, he sent someone to Pingyang Mansion to see Li Jing's daughter, and euphemistically revealed that he had the idea of ​​marrying Li Jing.

But not long after Li Jing returned to Pingyang Mansion from Datong, Zhu Youjian heard that Li Jing had understood his intentions, but hoped that he would marry his daughter to his son.

When he first heard the news, Zhu Youjian was very angry in his heart. He felt that Li Jing was looking down on him, and he didn't take the title of crown princess seriously.

But Zhu Youjian immediately understood that Li Jing didn't mean that. If Li Jing looked down on him, he wouldn't ask him to marry Princess Kunxing to his son.

Zhu Youjian knew that Li Jing's thinking was different from others'. In the eyes of others, if his daughter could become a princess, the whole family would be honored, and it would be no problem to become prosperous in the future.

But Li Jing didn't care about these at all, so naturally he didn't need to use his daughter as a bargaining chip to trade with him.

Zhu Youjian thinks that Li Jing values ​​reputation more. Marrying a daughter and marrying a princess, in Li Jing's view, should be a matter of face.

This is like when the emperor married the princess to a foreign country in the previous dynasty. No matter what the purpose is, it is a shameful thing to marry the princess to a foreign country.

Zhu Youjian didn't notice it. When he considered Li Jing's thoughts in this way, he actually began to regard Li Jing's identity as equal to his own.

Although Zhu Youjian figured out Li Jing's thoughts, he was still a little angry after all, so he put the matter on hold.

But now, Zhu Youjian can only bring up the matter again, and he hopes to convey his heart to Li Jing through this action.

Li Jing didn't expect that what Fan Wencheng did would cause Zhu Youjian to make such a big commotion.

Li Jing really admires Zhu Youjian's approach from the bottom of his heart. Although Zhu Youjian's ability to govern the country is not very good, as a politician, Zhu Youjian is undoubtedly qualified.

If Li Jing was in Zhu Youjian's position, he might have made this choice as well.

Because this method is undoubtedly the best way to solve this problem.
