In Guanjiang Tower, Jiang Zheng didn't know that a danger was coming. He was still focused on persuading Huo Zhengyuan. After this period of getting along, Jiang Zheng has roughly figured out Huo Zhengyuan's temperament. Just as Zhao Junchen, Zhou Shangjing and others commented, Huo Zhengyuan is extremely smart and knows everything at once, but he also lacks courage and courage. He always looks forward and backward when encountering problems and dare not take responsibility. People like Huo Zhengyuan are only suitable to work under a big shot with a strong personality and a firm stance, as a counselor or executor, so that they can play their greatest role. Jiang Zheng has a tough personality and a firm stance, but he is not a big shot after all, so it is not easy to successfully convince Huo Zhengyuan to support his plan. If the same plan is proposed by Zhao Junchen, Huo Zhengyuan does not have to bear any responsibility or pressure. Therefore, as long as he judges that the plan is likely to succeed, he will definitely cooperate with the implementation without hesitation, and he can also check for leaks and fill in the gaps, and make all plans Every detail is carefully arranged.

It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and is a source-changing artifact that supports offline reading. huanyuanapp.com Source-changing App] But the same plan is made by Jiang When it was brought up, Huo Zhengyuan's attitude was completely different. Because he was the person in charge and needed to bear all the responsibilities and pressure, his direction of thinking was no longer about the feasibility and benefits of the plan, but about the repetition. After considering the disadvantages and consequences of failure of this plan, you will hesitate and hesitate to move forward. And while Huo Zhengyuan is so hesitant and hesitant, he often misses the best opportunity to implement this plan. At this time, Huo Zhengyuan clearly knew that his plan was likely to succeed, and that it would be very beneficial if it succeeded, but it was only because this plan stabbed Zhou Shangjing in the back to a certain extent and might arouse Zhou Shangjing's anger. He wanted to take revenge afterwards, so he couldn't make up his mind for a long time Jiang Zheng couldn't help but be speechless for a while. As the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. In Jiang Zheng¡¯s eyes, it just offends Zhou Shangjing. Zhao Junchen is standing in front of everything, so there is nothing to worry about! Therefore, Jiang Zheng's tone became firmer and he persuaded again: "Senior Huo, Zhao Gechen asked us to sit in Nanjing and intervene in the situation in Nanjing on his behalf, but in fact there are only two requirements. One is to implement the withdrawal of power from the central court. The second plan is to give the Seventh Prince a serious setback and prevent him from successfully securing his position as reserve All other matters are decided by you as the opportunity arises. There is no need to always cooperate with Zhou Shoufu! Now, the imperial court center's plan to take over power will soon be fully successful, and the student's plan will not affect the subsequent situation of the seventh prince. We no longer have to deliberately cooperate with Zhou Shoufu, but will conflict with his interests. There are more places, such as the Nanjing Inspectorate and the Nanjing Imperial College. We and the 'Zhou Party' both want to take advantage of the opportunity to intervene, and there will definitely be conflicts. But if we act according to the students' plan, at the worst we can force Zhou Shangjing to compromise! , So why are you so hesitant and hesitant to move forward, senior?" When persuading, Jiang Zheng's tone was obviously impatient. Huo Zhengyuan also knew that Jiang Zheng was dissatisfied with his hesitation and even looked down upon his courage, but he was not angry at all. He still tasted Guanjiang Tower's delicious dishes leisurely and contentedly, and even took the initiative to extend his chopsticks for Jiang Zheng. He picked up a piece of roast pork and said with a smile: "The roast pork in Guanjiang Tower is rare and delicious. It's sweet, fat and not greasy. Try it!" Seeing Huo Zhengyuan looking at him again, Jiang Zheng's brows became more and more tense. Wrinkle, completely ignoring the roast pork in his plate, and said again: "I hope Senior Huo will learn from it! Maybe I don't know how high the sky is, but I really don't understand why we should try our best to avoid conflicts with Zhou Shouxuan! You know, Zhou Shouxuan, he is I have never considered this kind of thing. We have always cooperated with us and calculated with us! You should have also heard about the Xingzhou uprising. It is obviously Zhou Shoufu's trap for Zhao Gechen's new agricultural policy reform! Zhou Shoufu has bullied us, why can't we take revenge on him here in Nanjing? What's more, there are rumors from all walks of life in Nanjing that Zhou Shoufu is terminally ill, so we don't have to worry about Zhou Shoufu's retaliation afterwards! After that, Huo Zhengyuan smiled half-heartedly, picked up another bamboo shoot and tasted it carefully, then raised his head and asked: "Do you thinkthe rumors about Zhou Shou's appointment not long ago are not made out of thin air?" Jiang Zheng nodded and said: "That's right. As the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire. This rumor is most likely not false! Moreover, there is a miracle doctor Zhang Dechengzhang next to Zhou Shoufu. Like the junior, he is also a disciple of Zhao Gechen. The junior yesterdayHe once went to Dongyuan to visit Divine Doctor Zhang on the pretext of being unwell, but was rejected outright by the Song family. So the junior wrote another letter, introducing his physical condition in detail, and asked the Song family to pass it on to Divine Doctor Zhang, hoping that Zhang The miracle doctor could give some advice, but I received a reply from the miracle doctor Zhang very quickly! In this reply, Dr. Zhang's tone and handwriting were somewhat impatient and absent-minded, which was completely inconsistent with Dr. Zhang's habit of paying attention to patients. Therefore, the junior judged that he must have encountered something extremely difficult and was in a irritable mood. Can't get away And in Dongyuan, apart from Zhou Shoufu's body, is there anything else worthy of Doctor Zhang's concentration? " Huo Zhengyuan nodded and smiled, and said: "Zhao Gechen once told me that you are a talent that is not inferior to Zhao Shancai, but you are completely different from Zhao Shancai. Zhao Shancai is better at strategizing and pushing the situation, and his knowledge and government are also deeper. And you are better at seeing the subtle things. You only need a few clues to quickly understand the truth, and you are also very familiar with the court laws Now that I look at it, this evaluation is indeed correct! I have been thinking recently about whether Zhou Shoufu's terminal illness is true or not, but I didn't expect you to find out part of the truth so easily! " After praising Jiang Zheng a few words, Huo Zhengyuan raised the chopsticks again, pointed at Jiang Zheng's dishes, and urged in an unquestionable tone: "The braised pork is about to get cold, you have a taste first! " After hearing Huo Zhengyuan's urging again, Jiang Zheng couldn't let go again, so he reluctantly picked up the braised pork and put it into his mouth, and then tasted it carefully. " Is it delicious? " Huo Zhengyuan asked. Jiang Zheng nodded and said: "As the great scholar Huo said, it is sweet, fat and not greasy. It is indeed a delicacy, but" Seeing that Jiang Zheng wanted to get back to the topic, Huo Zhengyuan said directly Duan said: "It's delicious, right? Regarding the secret of cooking this delicacy, I personally asked the chef of Guanjiang Tower, and the answer is the heat and timing! If you want to make braised pork well, firstly, the heat must be sufficient and must be cooked over a high fire; secondly, the timing of adding salt is important. Adding salt earlier will easily make the meat become stale, while adding salt later will make it difficult to taste ¡¡± Having said this, Huo Zhengyuan finally got back to the topic and said: ¡°Not only cooking, timing and heat are also crucial when formulating and implementing a plan! No matter how perfect a plan is in theory, if the timing and intensity are not right, it will only be counterproductive! And now, do we have enough heat? Have you found the right time? We mainly rely on the support of two forces in South Zhili. One is the 'United Shipping Company', and the other is Mr. Huang Ge, who is currently serving as the governor of South Zhili But after all, we are not Zhao Gechen, and we cannot use our hands. It refers to the manipulation of the behemoth "United Shipping Company". Although "United Shipping Company" is powerful, its franchise members also have different backgrounds and complex origins. Therefore, unless we also have the same prestige and influence as Zhao Gechen, it will be difficult to control it. 'United Shipping Company' fully supports us; as for Mr. Huang Ge Although he has become Zhao Gechen's ally, he also has his own ideas, and it is also impossible for him to fully support us! Therefore, it seems that I am standing still during this period, but in fact I am not idle. I have been sorting out the complex relationships within the "United Shipping Company", and I have been frequently contacting Mr. Huang Ge to persuade him to provide unreserved support. we! And your plan is of great importance. If you are not careful, it will cause a backlash from all parties. Only with the full support of the "United Shipping Company" and the South Zhili Governor's Yamen, I will wait for an opportunity to promote this project. plan! If some things cannot be guaranteed to be foolproof, then it is better not to do them! " Huo Zhengyuan's statement seems to be very reasonable, but in Jiang Zheng's view, it is actually because he lacks courage and dare not take risks. Jiang Zheng immediately shook his head again and said: "Senior Huo, you are an elegant scholar, so of course They pay more attention to the taste and texture of a dish, but the junior is a vulgar person with no taste, so the junior will only focus on one thing, and that is whether the junior can find food to fill his stomach in time when he is hungry! If the chef cannot bring food to the juniors in time when they are hungry, but only focuses on the texture and taste of the food, then no matter how delicious the chef's dishes are, they will still be unqualified in the eyes of the juniors! " After hearing this, Huo Zhengyuan took a deep look at Jiang Zheng again, and could not help but shake his head slightly. Finally, there was a trace of dissatisfaction in Jiang Zheng's repeated refutations. Zhao Junchen sent Jiang Zheng to Nanjing, in name only It was to assist Huo Zhengyuan, but actually he wanted Huo Zhengyuan to take the opportunity to test Jiang Zheng's stance and temperament. Now Huo Zhengyuan could see that Jiang Zheng might really want to assist Zhao Junchen, but he was too powerful. It's my opinion, it's definitely notAn honest and peaceful master, he doesn't have much respect for the word "authority". Rather than becoming a qualified executor and executing the plans arranged by others step by step, he prefers to control everything personally and at his own pace. Mainly with ideas. Therefore, after Zhao Junchen accepted Jiang Zheng as his staff, it was equivalent to holding an extremely sharp double-edged sword. If he was not careful, he would hurt himself. While Huo Zhengyuan shook his head and sighed, Jiang Zheng continued: "In fact, if this junior's plan is compared to a dish, then its diners are not the senior and the junior, nor are they within the territory of South Zhili. No one is involved, but Zhao Gechen, who is thousands of miles away! Only Zhao Gechen is qualified to judge whether this dish is delicious! Therefore, when the junior made this plan, he never considered it. With all the disadvantages and subsequent backlash, the junior will only consider one thing, that is, if Zhao Gechen shows up in Nanjing in person, will he agree to the junior¡¯s plan? " Speaking of this, Jiang Zheng's attitude became more determined! , slowly said: "And the junior's conclusion is If Zhao Gechen was here, he would definitely support this junior's plan with all his strength! Because this junior's plan can solve a problem that has been bothering him for a long time! Senior Huo You are Zhao Gechen¡¯s confidant and know Zhao Gechen¡¯s temperament better than this junior. You should know what the trouble this junior is talking about is referring to, and you should also understand that this junior is not lying at all!¡± Huo Zhengyuan¡¯s expression changed when he heard Jiang Zheng¡¯s statement! He became serious again and said slowly: "Yes, I am also very aware of the troubles in Zhao Gechen's heart! In fact, it is not just Zhao Gechen. I have been troubled by the same thing since I served as the patrol envoy to the southeast. That¡¯sthe conservatism and short-sightedness of our merchants!¡±?¡?1/2?¡
