Han Jiang just thought that Cao Youxuan wanted to apologize, but Wu Song knew very well that Cao Youxuan now agreed to give face to the Han family, but the details were not discussed. Such a major event must be exchanged for interests. Letting Han Tuozhou come over is talking about the details, the focus is on exchange of interests, and apologizing is just an excuse.
Cao Youxuan clapped his hands and a servant came in. Cao Youxuan ordered: "Take Jian'an Bo to pick up a few pieces of porcelain and take my collection."
"Thank you, thank you." Han Jiang smiled.
Seeing Han Jiang go out, Cao Youxuan said to Wu Song: "Brother Jiang is wise, generous, and knowledgeable. But he doesn't understand the officialdom. He is good at being in the world, but not good enough. Today he came to the door, and in my opinion, he was rash."
Wu Song nodded, he knew Han Jiang's weakness. However, Wu Song said: "My brother Jiang is really talented. Yanzhou has become better, and the people are richer than last year. The family spends less, but they wear better clothes and eat better. The servants recognize Brother Jiang very much."
“He is talented, very talented.”
Wu Song said again: "He has a theory, there is no eternal enemy, only eternal interests. Children make choices, and adults talk about interests. He is no longer a child."
"Yeah, but not enough." Cao Youxuan said it clearly. Han Jiang was good, but not good enough.
"No, you were wrong, he was only seventeen." Wu Song's words made Cao Youxuan nodded involuntarily. He ignored Han Jiang's age. He had already placed Han Jiang in an equal position in his later generations.
Cao Youxuan shook his head: "You are right, but if he is just like other seventeen-year-old boys, either studying, practicing martial arts, or fighting dogs, I wouldn't say he is not good enough. This court is also a battlefield, and if you enter the game, you will only have life, death, honor and disgrace, whether you are seventy or seventeen."
"Yes, I'll tell my brother-in-law."
"Yeah, we are the ones who are all in Pingyuan."
Cao Youxuan didn't say it clearly, but the meaning in his words was that I understood and accepted Han Jiang's intention, and agreed with Han Jiang's proposal. But if Han Tuozhou did not come, I would have agreed to everything. Han Jiang was not yet at the level of his ability to discuss deep-seated exchange of interests and the alliance between the two governments.
Not qualifications, but level.
To put it bluntly, Han Jiang is too tender.
Han Jiang was happy all the way after leaving the Cao family. I don’t know if it was because the talks were done well or because he carved several tea sets and went home.
Halfway through, Wu Song said to Han Jiang: "You have thought it simple in the palace."
"I understand."
"I really understand?"
Han Jiang replied seriously: "In the past, I felt that the thing in the palace was that several women were fighting for men. Now I understand that this is the family behind a group of women fighting for power."
"Half." Wu Song thought Han Jiang was only half right.
Han Jiang originally thought that what he said should be at least eight points, but who would only say half of it.
Wu Song has a deep study of palace fighting. He dare not talk about experts, but he is also proficient.
Wu Song said: "The first type of women in the palace is to compete for favor, which is the lightest. The second type is to compete for power, which is to see blood. The third type is to compete for rank, which is to compete for the status of their own sons. This matter is to compete for wits and understand the story. If written in a script, it will be very exciting. The fourth type is to compete for power, which is what you say is to compete for the family."
Wu Song is not summarizing, but listing facts and reasoning.
"Let's talk about the Cao family. At that time, the adopted daughter of Grandma Cao, Fan Guanyin, was favored. Concubine Zhang would attack as long as she seized the opportunity. She even used it to ask for rain. This level is to compete for favor."
"Besides, Emperor Wu didn't say too far back then. Just say that my aunt, Emperor Gaozong, was very fond of two talented people and committed suicide."
Han Jiang didn't expect that the kind old lady in the harem was also a cruel person.
But even thinking about it can be understood that those who can stand firm in the harem are not purely good.
All those who are pure and kind die early.
Wu Song continued to say: "The third category, think about the story of the Han Palace, there are many stories."
"Just talking about this fourth category, who do you think the Emperor Guo of Renzong was deposed in the reign of Emperor Guo? Lu Yijian pushed him, who can say that there is no shadow of the Cao family behind this? Now, you recommend the daughter of the Cao family as the imperial concubine. If I check this Cao concubine, I will know which branch comes from, but it must be a member of the Cao family."
"Yeah, yeah." Han Jiang began to become serious. What Wu Song said must be important.
Wu Song slowly said: "You are asking the Cao family for help. To be honest, it is to help our family in the harem. Yes."
"yes."
Wu Song smiled: "This matter should be reversed. The Cao family wants to give benefits to the Han family. If you don't talk to you, my brother-in-law will definitely be unhappy when he returns. If he gives it too much, he is afraid that my brother-in-law will come back and think that the Cao family has ambitions. The benefits of the Cao family are stolen from the killed people, such as Zhao Ruyu, or the court asked the Cao family to share more. In short, this benefit is definitely not taken out of the family."
Too profound.
Han Jiang needs to digest Wu Song's set of things well, and I don't know whether it is correct or strange theory.
Anyway, Han Jiang realized from Han Qi that the brain circuit of the great nobles of the Song Dynasty was not on the same line as himself.
First, he sent Wu Song back to his mansion, and then the Wu family's carriage sent Han Jiang back to his mansion.
When he got home, Han Jiang first slipped to Qian Xinyao's yard and took a walk around. Qian Xinyao had already fallen asleep. Then he left quietly and ran to Yinghecai's yard.
Ying just finished applying a hot compress on her hands in the house.
Han Jiang sat next to Ying, took the medicinal oil from Ying's hand, applied it to Ying's hand and rubbed her wrists.
The movie enjoys this moment very much.
But when Cai saw this scene, Cai's face sank: "Is there any rule? If this is going to be spread, who knows what people outside will say?"
Ying heard this and quickly pulled her hands. Han Jiang pulled Ying's hand and continued to rub it. She turned to Cai and said, "There are so many rules when closing the door. What do outsiders say to let them say it. My biggest dream in the past was to be a family man and stay abreast of dying until old age. Unfortunately, she didn't have the conditions and strength, so she had to find a way to support herself."
"Yes, before?" Ying noticed the word in Han Jiang's words.
Han Jiang immediately argued: "It's just to marry a daughter of a wealthy family, and you don't have to worry about money."
lie.
Ying and Cai can hear it, this is a lie.
Cai sat next to Han Jiang and grabbed Ying's hand, applied medicinal oil and rubbed it, and then said, "There is a limit to petting, and it is not good for the maids to see it. When it is spread, there are always gossips."
Cai is a person who pays great attention to rules.
High-ranking families must have strict rules, otherwise there will be chaos in the mansion.
The head of the family is both the setter of the rules and must be the followers of the rules.
If it is not a special case, the rules cannot be broken.
Han Jiang hurriedly said, "I know, I know."
