Chapter 234 Altruism and self-interest
Lu Songli soon found out that Le Guicai came out of the governor's house angrily.
Although she didn't know the details of the discussion between him and Zheng Xun, from the few words he chatted with people around him, she still knew that Le Guicai had indeed mentioned to the governor Zheng Xun that he wanted to use the Qin brothers, but was rejected
.
After roughly knowing what he told Zheng Xun, Lu Songli could only say that he really didn't understand the method. Fortunately, she was prepared.
The back house of the Sheriff's Mansion
Ding Xueru walked in swaying with her hips twisted, and happened to see Zheng Xun sitting there with a straight face.
It was true that Le Guicai was very angry because of the Qin family, but Zheng Xun felt equally uncomfortable.
Ding Xueru walked over quickly and said, "Master, what's wrong with you? I just saw the Lord Lieutenant walking out angrily from a distance. Did he make you angry?"
"If so, you have a lot to say and forgive him. Anyway, he is a big boss and often speaks out of his mind. Don't be so angry that your body is broken."
Zheng Xun said, "This time, it's not that he can't speak wisely, but he can't act wisely this time! He actually wants to use military camp prisoners, which is totally unbelievable!"
Ding Xueru made tea for him with her own hands to calm him down, but she said, "This——the Lord Commander does not seem to be such a reckless person."
Zheng Xun explained casually, "This time Tuoba Company raided Liaoyang. He got help from the Qin family brothers and won the battle, so he wanted to use the Qin family to deal with Xianbei."
"Your Majesty, this is indeed wrong. The Qin family are prisoners, right? If anything happens, wouldn't it involve the master?"
These words spoke to Zheng Xun's heart.
"It's just Master. Although I'm just a woman, we know that Xianbei is cruel."
"This time I heard that the Commander-in-Chief captured Tuobalian alive. If the Xianbei Khan gets angry and sends his troops south, will the Commander-in-Chief be able to withstand it?"
"If I can't resist, will it hurt you? After all, you are the biggest official in Liaodong County. Le Gui is the one who caused the trouble. It is not a pity to die, so I am worried about you."
The more Ding Xueru said, the darker Zheng Xun's face became. As the governor of Liaodong County, he had the responsibility of guarding the land...
"The first time I went to the theater to listen to a play, I met my former rival, and was ridiculed by her, saying that flowers are not as red as a hundred days, and people are not as good as a thousand days, but to make my concubine angry, isn't this a curse?
?”
"Master loves me and you are loyal to the emperor. How could you end up in that situation?"
The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional, especially at this critical moment. Zheng Xun knows that he is still new to this concubine, and there is no situation where she has fallen out of favor. That is the latter. Is it possible that he has fallen out of favor?
"Then you don't want to teach her a lesson? I will support you." Zheng Xun hugged her.
"Teach her a lesson. I slapped her several times, and her hand hurt." Ding Xueru said and stretched out her hand.
"Well taught!"
After Zheng Xun said this, he fell into deep thought.
Ding Xueru also said nothing obediently. Look, she said what she needed to say and helped when she needed to, and she could collect the money with peace of mind.
For Zheng Xun, the problem of Xianbei is now urgent.
Ding Xueru's words gave him a big reminder. He had just been focused on confronting Le Guicai. In order to convince him, he didn't think about this aspect at all.
Now the choice is given to him. If he is obedient and sticks to the rules, he will have a high possibility of being eliminated, and he may even be eliminated immediately. If he plays on the sidelines, he can be obedient, and he may still be able to keep the black hat on his head.
Zheng Xun knew very well that if he lost Liaodong County, no matter how loyal he was to the emperor, the black gauze hat on his head would be lost!
"Do we really want Le Guicai to use the Qin brothers?" Zheng Xun said to himself.
Ding Xueru was stunned, how could this happen? Unexpectedly, the wealthy businessman's wife named Jiang Mobing actually had two brushes. Everything she said was imitated by her.
Ding Xueru said cautiously, "Sir, let me tell you what I mean. If I say something wrong, you can't get angry with me."
"I promise you won't be angry, just tell me." Zheng Xun didn't expect her to say anything.
"I think Lord Lieutenant's idea can be used. The Qin family is a fugitive, so we should make the best use of it."
"So what if they perform meritorious services? As long as they remain prisoners, there will be no threat at all."
"Their status is destined, and we can definitely do it, let the horses run, and prevent the horses from eating grass. Master, the most you can do is mention this in the annual report to Chang'an, which is a favor to them.
"
Ding Xueru said this because she had no understanding of the appeal and influence of a wise and powerful general in the army, let alone a general at the level of a god of war.
But Zheng Xun felt that what she said was very reasonable.
The next day, Le Gui was summoned by the county guard and told that for the sake of Liaodong County, he could use the Qin family. The only thing was that the status of the Qin family brothers had always been prisoners and could not be changed unless the emperor granted a pardon.
After Le Gui finished listening, he was stunned. Did he hear it correctly? Zheng Xun was actually willing to let him use the Qin brothers?
But as long as it works out, as for what he said, the Qin family must remain a fugitive, Le Guicai thought to himself, at worst, he could provide more material support.
When Le Guicai left the Sheriff's Mansion, he was still feeling dizzy.
He thought there was no chance before.
He knew Zheng Xun to some extent. He was very stubborn. He claimed to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and he would never violate the laws of Taliban.
So, what happened this night?
What Le Guicai doesn't know is that in most cases, trying to reason with people doesn't solve the problem, because everyone has different positions, and what you say doesn't make sense in the eyes of the other person.
Just like last night, he felt that he proposed to use the Qin brothers solely for the safety of Liaodong County, but Zheng Xun obviously didn't feel that way.
When something has nothing to do with him, it doesn't matter to him no matter how ridiculous you talk about it. When it matters to him, do you think he is nervous or not?
Again, if you want to benefit yourself, you must first be altruistic to others.
People are all for themselves, and everything they do is for themselves.
To solve the problem, you must stand on the other side's perspective, consider the interests, and find a win-win solution.
And Lu Songli knew very well that for Zheng Xun, he had to either touch his interests or bind common interests. Therefore, Mo Bing's mission was given.
