Chapter 33 Double Insurance
Guo Qu just turned to Jiang Ji because of the situation and was optimistic about Jiang Ji's future. It would be impossible for Jiang Ji to trust him very much.
However, Guo Qu was born as a civilian and had no foundation among the gentry. If he betrayed Jiang Ji later, no matter which faction in the future, it would be difficult for him to accept him, so the risk of his betrayal is relatively small.
In addition, if Wei Ji really intends to support Jiang Ji, he can also use this to check and balance and make Guo Qu throw himself into trouble. Basically, the possibility of Guo Qu's rebellion will be minimized.
Therefore, facing the problem of Feng Tang, Jiang Ji said firmly: "Lieutenant Guo is a loyal and righteous man, so I naturally trust him."
“That’s good.”
Even though Feng Tang deliberately collected information from all parties, it was difficult to understand the various details of Guo Qu's resignation when his own power and financial resources were limited. How could he think that Jiang Ji had already thought so much in his mind, and he thought that Jiang Ji really trusted Guo Qu.
"The church only knows the news about Chen Lei's confidant. The others need to be verified by the king. At the same time, collect evidence of the crimes of the chief officials of Xianwei, Luoshui and Pingchang. If you don't move, you will have to disintegrate Chen Lei's influence and kill him with one blow."
Feng Tang's eyes were full of coldness, as if he had seen Chen Lei's end.
"Mr. Feng is so talented, I wonder if he is willing to go back to Yangdi with his own son?"
In such a family situation, Feng Tang could still clearly know the situation in the entire Qin State. Either he had a secret source of information, or he had peeled off other people's words and got the information he needed.
If it is the first situation, then what I said and various measures just now can only be said to be quite sensible.
But if it is the second type, it is undoubtedly a talent.
Judging from his current situation, the probability of the second type is undoubtedly greater. In addition, people as arrogant as Wei Yun agree with Fengtang so much, so 90% may be the second type.
Jiang Ji naturally wanted to recruit talents under his command, which was also the purpose of his trip.
But when Feng Tang faced Jiang Ji's olive branch, he shook his head after a little thought.
"With the king's love, the despicable people in the hall should have accepted it with pleasure, but when the king comes to the hall to follow the king and return to Yangdi, when Yangdi is basically in the hands of the king, it will not play a big role."
"Secondly, this Xianwei County Magistrate is Chen Lei's confidant? The Tang dared to take over the task of collecting his evidence of guilt and controlling Xianwei County in the hands of the king."
Feng Tang obviously understood how difficult the plan just now was? It was also difficult to highlight his own talents. Therefore, if you want to stay and prove yourself, you deserve Jiang Ji's sincerity to come to the door in person? It is also to strive for status under Jiang Ji's future.
"Although Feng Jun is a local, you are a widow? Is it too difficult to do this? Not to mention controlling Xianwei County, there are many dangers and you will be unable to escape if you have any mistakes. Why should Feng Jun take the risk?"
Even if you agree with Fengtang, you must be cautious in such a major event? Otherwise, it will alert the enemy and make Chen Lei and his team be prepared, so Jiang Ji still wants to find out where Yi Erfengtang's confidence lies.
Although Feng Tang knew that this might be Jiang Ji's trick to attract people, he looked at Jiang Ji's sincere face and looked at his slightly worried expression. He still couldn't help but feel a little moved.
"The king doesn't have to worry. Although the hall is alone now, he is from Feng's family. Even if he is not popular, he is at least intimate. In this way, there are few people who will touch me."
"As for controlling Xianwei? As long as the king gives an order at that time, the evidence of Xianwei County Magistrate is presented at that time? It is enough to convict him. After that, the king can temporarily replace Xianwei County Magistrate with one person. With my help, it is enough to control Xianwei, and there is no great danger."
Jiang Ji looked at him deeply. Judging from Feng Xian's evaluation of him, it was not just not as simple as not being favored. However, since he was confident of getting the support of Feng's family, it must be related to his cousin Feng Hui.
He did not explore too much: "Since Fengjun has this determination, Gu will use this hot soup to make you go well with the wine, Gu is waiting for your good news in Yangdi."
The two of them picked up the pottery bowl and smiled at each other, and then drank the warm water in it.
Putting down the pottery bowl, Jiang Ji said, "But just in case, I have prepared a helper for you."
Feng Tang realized that the helper Jiang Ji mentioned should be the person Jiang Ji originally planned to use to control Xianwei. He felt a little curious about who he was, which made Jiang Ji think he could take on this important task.
"Oh? I don't know who Fang Yingjie is?"
"You should know each other."
Fengtang has more interest.
His understanding means that it is a high probability that he is a local. After all, the well-known figures under Jiang Ji are all holding important positions and it is impossible for him to come here, and he doesn't know anyone who is not famous.
"I wonder if Mr. Feng had heard of Zhao Shuo?"
"It turned out to be him!"
Feng Tang was indeed surprised. Not only did he know Zhao Shuo, he also met several times, and he also knew his character.
"I didn't expect that Zhao Jun was actually under the command of the king. With him here, this Xianwei is indeed worry-free."
"He's not yet."
Facing Feng Tang's astonished expression, Jiang Ji couldn't help but smile, and then informed Feng Tang of the whole story.
"Although he is not now, he will be there soon."
"So that's the case. With Zhao Shuo's character, he will definitely serve the king and be loyal. However, he is now a sinful person and is not convenient to come forward. It is difficult for him to control Xianwei at a critical moment."
"Originally, Gu wanted him to change his appearance, change his name, and then secretly summon those gentlemen to act in seclusion, but now with Qing here, there is no need to be such a problem."
If Jiang Ji's previous plan is followed, there will be many problems that need to be solved.
For example, how to gather those gentlemen, how to ensure that those gentlemen are willing to follow Zhao Shuo, and how to place them in normal times.
Now you only need to let Zhao Shuo protect Fengtang and follow his orders. If things don’t go well, Zhao Shuo can become the last insurance policy.
"Thank you for your trust, and the Lord will definitely live up to your expectations."
“No need to be polite.”
Jiang Ji helped Fengtang up and continued, "Next year will be my father's 70th birthday. At that time, I will definitely be amnesty in the world. At that time, Zhao Shuo will be able to clear his guilt and appear openly, so there is no need to worry about other problems."
"The king even considered this, it was really a blessing for Zhao Shuo."
Jiang Ji didn't expect that this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes would flatter him, so he couldn't help laughing.
"Fengtang, you are showing off your knowledge again. So what if you win the argument, you are still an ugly monster who can't make a career!"
