Chen Kai seemed to be speaking out the ambition that had been hidden in his heart for many years. It could be said that Chen Kai was extremely passionate. However, when Tong Guoqi heard this ambition, it was like lightning exploding in the dark night, and everything suddenly became clear.

Alone, I walked from Datong to Guangdong to join the army. Every time I tried my best, even taking risks, and fought bloody battles with the enemy myself. As the saying goes, if you don't take small gains, you must have a big plan. I wonder what else is there in this world?

This is a bigger plot than seizing the world and becoming the master of it!

Reckless ambition, this term used for ambitious people who seek to usurp the throne, suddenly appeared in Tong Guoqi's mind, occupying all the space in an instant. Chen Kai said it so calmly, which made him even more excited.

In addition to shock, there was also a trace of fear in his heart. Moreover, this trace of fear increased exponentially in his mind from the moment it appeared. As the shock faded over time, it quickly occupied his entire brain, making

He was never able to think further.

At this moment, Chen Kai's aura was so overwhelming that he couldn't move. He almost tried his best to suppress the trembling of his body. However, soon, the feeling of losing strength spread.

Come, he seemed to be looking for a point of support uncontrollably. When he calmed down, he was already sitting on the seat that Chen Kai pointed to when he entered the door.

As time went by, Tong Guoqi's brain gradually recovered. At first glance, the idea of ​​plotting to usurp the throne was indeed sensational, but in fact there was no risk at all.

First of all, these are still troubled times. Starting from Jiashen, people who claim to be emperors and supervise the country are everywhere. Even the Manchu Qing Dynasty has fake emperors like Dorgon. Secondly, the target of the complaint is him, and he is the Qing court

Even if the official of the frontier said it, who would believe it? Even if there are ears across the wall, since Chen Kai dares to say it, he must be well prepared. Even if there are people around, they will only be his cronies. These people

They and their families are still working with Chen Kai, naturally hoping that the tide will rise. Even those who are greedy for profit or foolishly loyal to the Ming Dynasty must find a place to complain. Moreover, as a close confidant who betrays his benefactor, even if it is

Even if he succeeds, he won't be trusted. After all, if you can betray once, you can betray a second, third or even countless times. This is inherently more gain than loss. Smart people will not make choices, and he believes that in the future

Chen Kai's shrewdness would not allow people who were foolishly loyal to the Ming court to participate in major affairs of the imperial court.

Chen Kai said he was confident, but it took Tong Guoqi a long time to recover. However, the hateful guy in front of him had no intention of making him feel better at all, and he was shocked again when he opened his mouth.

"Actually, when it comes to this matter, Tong Fujun has an inherent advantage over me. Not to mention that your Tong family has intricate forces in the imperial court, but that your cousin has already given birth to a son named Fulin, the slave chief.

What is it about Xuan Ye? Your status as an uncle is something I cannot compare to."

Since ancient times, it can be said that it is common for relatives to usurp the throne. Chen Kai used this to connect them as comrades, which directly caused Tong Guoqi's brain, which had long been controlled by the cruelty of the Aisin Gioro family, to crash again. Fortunately,

After being frightened last time, the time it took him to recover this time has been shortened a lot.

"Your Excellency is very ambitious, but don't think that I am the same as you. Once again, I am only loyal to the Emperor and the Qing Dynasty. It's useless no matter how much you say!"

Tong Guoqi no longer dared to listen to Chen Kai's words. Until this moment, he was finally convinced. After all, he still knew the word "The bird knows the ambition of the swan". He was also a feudal official, and in Chen Kai's mind

The things he imagined were things he didn't even dare to think about, and the most important thing was that Chen Kai was not just dreaming, but was actually working hard for it. To put it bluntly, the difference between the two was not just in class.

So simple.

Subconsciously wanting to escape, as soon as Tong Guoqi finished speaking, he stood up and walked out the door. But before he could turn around, Chen Kai's next words stopped him on the spot.

"Loyal minister, haha, how much is it worth? With all due respect, no one will know about any sacrifice you make here, even if it saves the imperial court. In the eyes of your masters, you are still that

Defeated general. Don’t forget, it was you and Yang Minggao who lost the passes in Xincheng County and Shangguan, allowing me to release Wang Xiuqi and open up a new front. Next, no matter where I affected the situation of the battle,

, you are all the culprits. Oh, by the way, Yang Minggao is dead, and there are nearly ten thousand people who testified against him. He is really a smart man, haha."

Yang Minggao died for his country in a fierce battle. Even if the Qing government was unreasonable, some things still had to be perfunctory. But he was different. He abandoned the city and fled, and was captured by the Ming army on the way to escape. When he was captured, there was only one person beside him.

All the soldiers, servants and servants, but the defenders must have known about it when they abandoned the city. Even if they arrived at the Qing court in the future, even if they had a hundred mouths, they would not be able to explain clearly.

It is undeniable that Chen Kai is right. In the eyes of his master, even if he dies here and has fulfilled his duty, he is just a defeated general. Even more vicious assumptions, as long as Chen Kai secretly

If he is killed and not publicized to the public, then the Qing court is likely to decide that he will surrender to the enemy, or that he will disappear after abandoning the city. After all, someone has to take the blame, and he is the best candidate for disappearing. Only

In this way, those who are alive can better avoid blame.

He has never been a fool. At this moment, he clearly knows that Chen Kai's words are like the temptation of the devil. But once he thinks of his fate, and once he thinks of those guys who will definitely put a shit basin on his head in order to escape guilt, it is inevitable in his heart.

A word of unwillingness. Gradually, he regained the ability to move and slowly sat on the chair again. After a long time, he raised his head again, and he no longer had the same harsh expression as before.

"Chen Zhijun was joking. Our dynasty has always relied on the Eight Banners as the foundation of the country, and the influence of foreign relatives is minimal. Moreover, the emperor is young and in his prime, and it will not be a problem to rule for decades. Even if there is something unbearable to say by then, the prince will have already grown up.

.Without a young emperor coming to the court, how can foreign relatives interfere in politics?" Choosing his words, Tong Guoqi tactfully refuted Chen Kai's statement: "Furthermore, it is still unknown who will ascend the throne in the future. There is not just one emperor.

Prince."

Tong Guoqi answered the question politely, but in exchange, Chen Kai sneered again: "I heard that the slave chief Fulin's favorite is indeed not your cousin, but a woman named Dong E. It is said that,

A baby boy was born last year, and he was immediately canonized as Prince Heshuorong. He was also called the first son and was expected to be crown prince. However, at the beginning of this year, the baby died, taking his mother with him.

I can't afford to be sick. Is this possible?"

This matter is said to be a matter in the Qing court. There are imperial decrees to investigate the birth, canonization and death of the prince. However, when a concubine becomes ill, it took a long time for even Tong Guoqi to hear from his relatives in Jiangxi.

After talking about it, he still mentioned it very carefully, how did Chen Kai know so clearly?

Of course, Tong Guoqi was not aware of the great contribution that later braid plays made to Chen Kai's knowledge expansion. He only thought that Chen Kai was well-informed, even so well-informed that it was possible that there was a secret work buried in the capital, or even in the court. Seeing this, he also

A shock was inevitable. So, by grabbing the teacup, taking a slow sip of tea, and comforting myself with "After all, he is Chen Kai", he breathed again.

"Chen Zhijun is knowledgeable and it is indeed true."

"Yes, that's right." After hearing the affirmative answer, Chen Kai couldn't help laughing: "I also heard that the slave chief Fulin loved the Dong E family very much, far more than the monarch and the concubine.

The boundary between children is more like the love between children. Now that Dong E can't afford to fall ill, if anything goes wrong, the slave chief Fulin may not be much better. By then, if he gets infected with smallpox or something..."

"Chen Zhijun, please be careful what you say!"

Today, Chen Kai couldn't say anything shocking. Seeing that he was about to be frightened again, Tong Guoqi quickly interrupted Chen Kai. In fact, even if he accepted something, he was not afraid of Chen Kai saying the same thing.

.However, not to mention how deeply rooted the word "loyalty to the king" is in people's hearts, he simply couldn't accept it.

"Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with you. It's just my assumption. There's no need to be afraid." It seemed that the generous Chen Kai was very satisfied with Tong Guoqi's performance, but he still had to finish his words: "I've made it clear.

, I value Tong Fujun’s identity as a relative, so I want to cooperate with Tong Fujun. As a sign of sincerity, I can release Tong Fujun and let Tong Fujun rescue no less than 2,000 prisoners. In addition,

, I can also give you a military merit, giving you a chance to make a comeback. In return, I need your cooperation in the future to help me gain greater power in the Ming Dynasty. This is called a win-win situation."

Tong Guoqi couldn't feel the slightest surprise at Chen Kai's expression at this moment. Since ancient times, power can stop people from going crazy, even if they sell their souls.

At this time, Chen Kai's hunger for power made Tong Guoqi secretly frightened, but also suddenly resonated with him. Yes, Chen Kai needed a mole with real power in the Qing Dynasty to build his tower of power.

Adding bricks and mortar to this insider can also be his political opponents in the government. This is indeed something that benefits both sides, and Chen Kai's word "win-win" sums it up perfectly.

What's more, even if he doesn't fulfill his follow-up promise, he has already escaped and has a military exploit in hand. As for what Chen Kai said, the Qing court will not believe it, and it will benefit him without any harm.

of. Unless...

"Of course, it's still the same sentence. A tacit understanding between you and me is enough. An agreed-upon password is enough. As for any handle, there must be no such thing."

The best question was answered, and Tong Guoqi finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, Chen Kai had a good reputation after all, and it was difficult to tell clearly what tricks such cunning people had set up here. In this regard, he couldn't help but wonder

He fell into deep thought, wondering what flaw he had not noticed just now.

After all, it was a big deal, and Chen Kai also showed his stable understanding of Tong Guoqi. However, he still had other things to do. He just asked him to think it over in the study room. After an hour, he heard his reply and strode towards the study room.

door.

"By the way, Tong Fujun, believe me, the slave chief Fulin has only a few more years to live. By then, I am confident that the entire court will make your little nephew the emperor. And when that time really comes

, I believe that Tong Fujun will definitely repay his kindness."

Laughing and pushing open the door, Chen Kai strode out, leaving Tong Guoqi gaping at the door that was gradually closing, still trapped in the shock. However, what he didn't know was that the door
Chapter completed!
