¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ When asked, Zhu Hejian seemed eager and indeed had expectations, but there was also a trace of doubt in his heart. If there is a way to get the best of both worlds, which can not only preserve one's reputation and popularity, but also completely resolve the conflict between the wealthy gentry and the eunuchs of Huangzhuang in Southern Zhili, it is just that I have not thought of this method at all. After all, everyone There is a blind spot in thinking. Lu De can find this method and accept it. After all, Lu De's talent and knowledge are indeed extraordinary, but It's too fast! Why did Lu De come up with this best-of-both-worlds solution so quickly? One moment he expressed his intention to be loyal again, and the next moment he had already thought of a best-of-both-worlds plan, without even thinking and deliberation? Even if Lu De is extremely talented and intelligent, it is impossible for him to have such a sharp mind! There is only one explanation, and that is that Lu De had actually thought of this method a long time ago, but waited until this time before he was willing to talk about it. It¡¯s like it¡¯s already been planned. When doubts arose in his heart, Zhu Hejian remained calm on the surface, still showing an expression of unreserved trust, quietly waiting for Lu De to explain the plan he had conceived in detail. Under Zhu Hejian's gaze, Lu De took a deep breath and finally spoke out his thoughts in detail. As he was telling his story, Lu De's expression was both tragic and firm, like a soldier who was about to sacrifice himself. After listening to Lu De¡¯s story, Zhu Hejian stared at Lu De in shock, his eyes full of disbelief. The plan described by Lu De has many similarities with the plan previously conceived by Zhu Hejian, and the basic ideas are roughly the same. But Lu De¡¯s plan added two additional links. After adding these two links, Zhu Hejian can still play a good guy in front of the wealthy gentry, and no longer has to worry about his image being damaged. ¡°And all the criticism, infamy, and hostility were all transferred to Lu De, and he was solely responsible for it. At the same time, once this plan is implemented, Zhu Hejian will also gain an important handle on Lu De! If Zhu Hejian makes this fact public in the future, what Lu De will have to bear is not just the criticism and hostility of the wealthy gentry family, but will be completely ruined. Only by apologizing to death can the anger of the world be calmed down a little. and condemnation. In short, the plan proposed by Lu De not only took over all the controversies on behalf of Zhu Hejian, but also handed over a petition to Zhu Hejian! In other words, after Zhu Hejian adopted this plan, no matter what considerations he had, he could only completely accept Lu De as his confidant. Yu Gong, Lu De took the blame and took the blame for Zhu Hejian. Zhu Hejian must repay him. If he alienates Lu De in the future, there will be no truly smart people willing to surrender to him without reservation. Privately speaking, after Zhu Hejian has mastered Lu De's key information, he can decide Lu De's life and death at will. Zhu Hejian will naturally feel at ease when he reuses Lu De. The most important thing is that when implementing Lu De's plan, in order to ensure that it is foolproof, Zhu Hejian cannot borrow any external power. He can only hand over part of his secret power to Lu De's command, and many of Zhu Hejian's secrets will definitely let Lu De gradually realized In the end, Zhu Hejian was left with only two choices. ¡°The first is to accept Lu De as a true confidant, so that the two of them are completely tied to the same boat. Considering that Zhu Hejian has always lacked reliable talents around him, when he accepts Lu De as a true confidant, he will inevitably continue to reuse Lu De, and he will definitely let Lu De gradually know more secrets. The second is to kill people directly after the plan is completed to prevent Lu De from leaking his various secrets to the outside world. But Lu De has already handed over a crucial surrender letter to Zhu Hejian. Zhu Hejian can ruin Lu De's reputation at any time, and no one will believe anything Lu De says. Under such circumstances, the option of killing Lu De and silencing him seems unnecessary and unnecessary. * As various thoughts in his mind kept spinning, Zhu Hejian looked at Lu De for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "Master Lu's plan is certainly the best of both worlds for me. It can not only quickly pacify the territory of South Zhili The conflict between the wealthy Jin gentry and the eunuchs of Huangzhuang can also preserve my reputation and prevent me from being criticized by the wealthy Jin gentry But this kind of best of both worlds is only for me, but it is for Mr. Lu! There are hundreds of harmsWhat a profit! If someone exposes the key points of this plan, Mr. Lu, you will definitely be ruined and be blamed by thousands of people! Even if the key points of this plan are not exposed, you still need to bear all the pressure and hostility alone, which is also detrimental to your future career! " Having said this, Zhu Hejian shook his head repeatedly, seemingly firm: "No, there is no need to mention this plan again! Mr. Lu, you still have a bright future in the future. I can never let you bear such pressure and risks just to maintain my own reputation! " After seeing Zhu Hejian's attitude, Lu De immediately showed gratitude, but he also had a firm attitude and said: "Your Highness is serious. After all, the student is just an official who has not yet entered the officialdom, and you are not only a The prince has a great chance of taking over the throne and will be the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty! Therefore, I hope that Your Highness will not act emotionally. Until you completely stabilize your position, your reputation and popularity must not be damaged! As long as His Highness's popularity and reputation can be protected from loss, any sacrifice made by the students will be worth it! To be honest, when you inherit the throne in the future, students will definitely gain a lot. What does it mean to suffer a little criticism and hostility temporarily? " After saying that, seeing that Zhu Hejian was still a little hesitant, Lu De sighed and asked, "Your Highness, don't you find it strange? The student obviously decided to change his mind and continue to assist you at the last moment. Why did he think of this plan to help you solve your problems the next moment? " Zhu Hejian certainly found it strange that he was reluctant to agree to Lu De's plan. In addition to being pretentious, he thought that Lu De proposed the plan too quickly, giving him the impression that he had planned it and forced himself to do it. He accepted him as a confidant. So, Zhu Hejian nodded and said: "Although this plan is a bit risky and the cost is too high, it is really amazing and incredible that Mr. Lu can conceive it so quickly. " Lu De shook his head and said: "Of course it is impossible for students to come up with such a plan so quickly! In fact, although the student has been avoiding His Highness for this period of time, he has been tortured in his heart because of his betrayal of His Highness and his unfaithful and unjust behavior. He only feels ashamed to see others, especially when he sees His Highness in deep trouble. After being in a dilemma, the student felt even more guilty and uneasy. He couldn't help but think about what he could do for His Highness if he was still assisting His Highness And this plan is what the student has been thinking about during this time. Gain! " Having said this, Lu De became more sincere and advised again: "So, please, Your Highness, you must adopt this student's plan! The student proposed this plan not only to help His Highness solve the current dilemma, but also to atone for his own sins! Only in this way can the student let go of his despicable actions and get along with His Highness calmly! " After saying that, Lu De bowed deeply to Zhu Hejian again. After hearing Lu De's explanation, although Zhu Hejian did not completely believe it, his inner doubts were finally relieved a little. In the end, Zhu Hejian also sighed and said : "Since Mr. Lu has said this, let's act according to the plan! " After hearing this, Lu De was overjoyed. He immediately took out a few letters from his arms and handed them to Zhu Hejian, saying, "Your Highness, please have a look. This is the key thing in the student's plan! " Zhu Hejian took a few letters and read them carefully. After a long time, he nodded and said: "It is indeed lifelike and flawless. Mr. Lu is indeed the number one talent in Jiangnan! " These letters are not only the key to the plan proposed by Lu De, but also the handle and the certificate of surrender that Lu De handed over to Zhu Hejian. After receiving the certificate of surrender, Zhu Hejian no longer had any doubts and immediately said: "Master Lu This plan must require a lot of secret manpower. It cannot rely on the power of the government, nor can it control the people around it. Otherwise, it will be easy for Zhou Shangjing and the wealthy Jin gentry to see the signs Well, I have a bronze medal here to give to Lu Young Master, after Master Lu holds this bronze medal, he goes to the Shiji Tea House on Chongming Street in the east of the city. There are some of my men hidden in the dark. You can call them at will! " The "manpower" Zhu Hejian refers to is naturally the "Chaofeng" dead soldier he carefully cultivated. And the many secrets Zhu Hejian had hidden in the dark have finally been revealed to Lu De. * Next, Zhu Hejian discussed many details of the plan with Lu De. After waiting for half an hour, Lu De finally said goodbye and left. However, Lu De said that Lu De had a close scholar named Lu Ping, who had been with Lu De since he was a child. The two were close friends and were known as master and servant, so Lu De would never hide anything from Lu Ping. When Lu De entered Zhan Yuan to meet the seventh prince Zhu Hejian, Lu Ping had been waiting outside Zhan Yuan. When he saw Lu De finally walking out of the gate of Zhanyuan,? Quickly walked up to him and asked in a low voice: "Master, is everything going well?" A trace of self-deprecation flashed across Lu De's handsome face, and he nodded: "Everything is going well, I finally found a reasonable excuse and the right time. , handed over his handle "It is not easy to be accepted as a confidant by His Highness the Seventh Prince. If we use normal methods, even if we continue to do our best for him, it will take at least three to five years." Only through various tests and explorations, overt or covert, can we have a chance to win his initial trust If we want to be quickly regarded as a confidant by him, we can only use this extraordinary method ¡±?¡?¡?¡
