Yuan Yuezhi's eager expression made him look very disdainful in Lao Fan's eyes.
You see, my mind is starting to get busy again.
How can I do this when I am always so intolerant of loneliness?
Over the years, I have warned him many times to be calm and quiet, but he has not listened to a single word.
Still so impatient.
Look at me, Lao Fan, I never worry about this kind of thing.
Useless.
All he had to do was to stand with his hands folded and wait for Wang Mi's call. Just like him, Lao Fan, maybe in the end, he could still get a good title by doing nothing.
In modern terms, this is the benefit of investing in original stocks. They were already allies before Wang Mi made his fortune, and so far, they have no tendency to fall behind.
In this way, as long as Wang Mi's Northern Expedition succeeds, the Jiankang court will definitely undergo major changes, and their allies who joined early will naturally not be treated badly.
It can almost be said that he won by lying down.
This is the highest meaning of governing by doing nothing. What is the point of governing by doing nothing?
In the past, many people had misunderstandings, including Mr. Fan Ning and Fan, who had not yet realized the truth. But recently, with the changes in the situation in Jin Dynasty, he also had some new ideas.
In the past, people often said that inaction is the key, advocating that people let go of their obsessions and desires and not be trapped by fame and fortune, so that they can reach the highest realm of life.
This person has sublimated.
It’s different!
He is a person who has escaped from vulgar taste!
However, for thousands of years, the concept of governing by doing nothing has not been able to flourish, or it can be said to be completely unable to compete with the Confucian theory. The main reason is that many people who study it have
They all missed the point.
The so-called governance by doing nothing means "governing."
The ultimate pursuit is governance, governance is the goal, and inaction is just a means. People's expectation is to achieve great social governance with less intervention.
However, what if there is less intervention, but still nothing can be done? Then don’t doubt it, if you need to use means, you still have to use means.
Take Lao Fan for example. Although he himself is relatively indifferent and does not covet too much fame and fortune, this does not mean that he has really given up on fame and fortune.
He just chose a way that cost the least and gained the most.
That is to choose a team that is sure to win and join. Moreover, you see, Lao Fan's timing is particularly accurate.
While others were still hesitating whether to get in the car, the old man was already sitting firmly in the car. Wang Mi also respected him. After all, the old man could be regarded as a scholar.
With his support, he has a certain appeal in the court. He also has a personality that does not cause trouble or trouble, so it is good to just put it there as a decoration.
But Yuan Yuezhi was different. After all, he was still younger and had an unstable mind. He would think this way and that way, always jumping back and forth.
It is easy for him to cause trouble in this way, and it is obvious that Yuan Yuezhi still thinks very highly of himself and always feels that he is super capable and can do whatever he wants.
With ease.
But I have forgotten that this court has always been in a state of flux, and many things can change in an instant. The only way to stay the same and adapt to all changes is to stay the same.
In the current situation, if you do nothing and just show up in front of Wang Mi's eyes, it is very likely to cause disaster.
Yuan Yuezhi actually wants to take the initiative to cause trouble. It seems that he still has not seen those lessons, let alone learned from the experience.
That’s it!
Maybe, he really can find a way to escape!
It's just that his old ways are not good enough and he hasn't noticed it yet.
Faced with the sudden change, the ministers were talking a lot and could not restrain themselves. Even the Queen Mother Wang Zhenying was very curious and surprised.
"Brother, why are you here?"
"Didn't you get any news yesterday?"
Xiao De'er quickly admitted his mistake: "The Queen Mother, please forgive me. This was my servant's mistake. Yesterday, Xiao De'er clearly told his subordinates to be more vigilant, but he didn't notice Zaifu's intention at all. This is all my servant's mistake. Please punish me, the Queen Mother."
!”
"Your Majesty, this slave deserves to die! Ten thousand deaths!" As he spoke, the young boy was about to kneel down. Wang Zhenying often told him to keep a close eye on such a big thing, but he neglected it. Isn't this a capital crime?
?
This is a sin of eternal death!
Wang Zhenying waved her hands and quickly stopped his performance.
"forget it!"
"It seems that the eldest brother suddenly thought of doing this. You can't stop him. There are so many Beifu soldiers guarding his house, but they can't prevent him. What can you do?"
Of course Xiao De'er couldn't do anything, and he couldn't care less about what thoughts came into Wang Gong's mind every day.
Besides, he had been by Wang Zhenying's side this morning, so how could he have time to take care of things outside the palace?
So, with a long string of tears and runny nose, he slowly stood up.
Originally, he had no intention of really seeking death. He was already the empress dowager's personal eunuch, and he had 100% of her trust.
How could he be executed for such a trivial matter?
On the other hand, Wang Gong didn't have anything to give him. Wang Mi knew much more about the war than he did.
He came here just out of temporary anger. This was the Northern Expedition!
It was the largest and most formal Northern Expedition after the Jin Dynasty moved south. Moreover, Wang Gong also had a hunch that he, Wang Mi, would be able to do what others could not do.
Others will give up halfway, but Wang Mi will definitely return in triumph.
Last night, Wang Aning, who had not slept all night, was sitting in the courtyard of his house, looking at the bright lights outside his house, thinking about the soldiers from the Beifu guarding him, and suddenly he was filled with emotion.
Although he could not go out, he knew the changes in the court in detail, which was also approved by Wang Mi.
Why not tell him?
He couldn't get out anyway, so he could only worry.
As for Wang Mi, he didn't have such a calculation at the beginning. He just wanted to show his generosity and let Wang Gong see that he would either lock you up or abuse you.
It is entirely your own fault that you have reached this point.
Therefore, Wang Gong also knew the specific date of the Northern Expedition very clearly. As the date approached, although on the surface he was still reading and writing, as if he was not concerned about worldly affairs, in fact, he could not calm down at all.
.
As the prime minister of the Jin Dynasty, it must be said that he also expected the army to win consecutive battles. He could not expect Wang Mi to lose the battle.
He hasn't reached the point where he's crazy.
He also knew very well that the grudge between him and Wang Mi was entirely a personal grudge and could not rise to the head of the Beifu soldiers.
So, at this critical moment, his chaotic head suddenly seemed to wake up and was struck by lightning.
Suddenly, he put aside the past grudges and all the ministers went to see him off. How could he be left out?
Now is not the time to be angry, so Lao Wang thought of doing it. He came up with this idea at night and took action before dawn.
There is no way, who made him lose the flexibility of his legs and feet now?
It won’t work if you don’t prepare in advance.
In order to get the old man out and transport him to the designated location smoothly, a group of slaves in the palace also spent a lot of brains.
In the end, we decided to use a larger carriage, put Wang Gong on the bed, stuffed him into the carriage, and sent him all the way.
In this way, the speed can be guaranteed without touching Wang Gong's injured leg. It is simply the best of both worlds.
The only obstacle is probably the Beifu soldiers who are stationed diligently at the gate of the palace. They are all Wang Mi's men and only follow Wang Mi's orders. They don't pay attention to the people in the palace.
If they don't let him go, how can Wang Gong get out?
Wouldn’t all this preparation be wasted?
When Wang Gong did this, he did not consider the thoughts of the Beifu soldiers at all. When everything was ready, he suddenly remembered that if the Beifu soldiers did not nod, he would not be able to go anywhere.
Has the old man forgotten?
He is clearly still under house arrest, and no one has announced that he will be released from it. Why is he planning to release it on his own?
no!
Even if there were obstacles from Beifu soldiers, Wang Gong was determined to succeed, so he personally went to find the guarding soldiers to discuss it.
Even the guarding soldiers can’t decide on this kind of thing!
Captain Zeng is not here either. If he were here, he might be able to ask the king for instructions in time. Unfortunately, Captain Zeng is going to the Northern Expedition with the team.
I really can't find anyone who can make up my mind.
What to do?
The Beifu army has already set off. If we look for people now, we will definitely not be able to catch up. However, Wang Gong's will is also very determined.
Do I have to go to see him off?
It’s not like I’m doing anything bad, just to see King Langya before going to war. Isn’t this okay?
Am I no longer a member of the Jin Dynasty or a minister of the Jin Dynasty?
Wang Gong is very stubborn and unwilling to give up, and there is no one in Beifu. It is useless to go to the palace to contact him now, because the head of the palace, the king, is already on his way out of the city.
When the army sets off, the opportunity cannot be delayed even for a moment, and they will not stop their march and wait for him just because of Wang Aning's sudden idea.
So, after much thought, the guarding soldiers gritted their teeth and let Wang Gong come out.
They thought this way. First, Wang Gong could not accomplish anything big by himself. Furthermore, the Beifu soldiers were not vegetarians. Although they let him out, they accompanied him all the way.
He never wanted to escape their sight or do anything bad.
On the other hand, if Wang Gong really just wants to see off the army, it is really a high-sounding reason. If you don't agree, then you are unreasonable.
This guy has always been a man who can change things with his hands, and if he is not allowed in for such a valid reason, then if there is a trouble in the future, then...
The most important thing is that after several brothers put together such a plan, it would not cause any serious problems if Wang Gong went out to see him off.
King Langya was always tolerant and would not get angry because Wang Gong went out to see him off, nor would he do it.
So, who else could possibly punish this group of Beifu soldiers on duty?
Thinking about it, there is only the Queen Mother in the palace.
But, would Wang Zhenying do this?
Obviously, she won't.
Although the decree to imprison Wang Gong was issued by her, he was his biological brother. If Wang Mi hadn't strongly requested that he be imprisoned, how could Wang Zhenying be willing to do so?
I'm afraid she hopes Wang Gong can find a chance to come out and hang out.
Therefore, the Queen Mother does not need to worry as they will not be punished.
This is also true. Although Wang Zhenying looked serious, it was for Xiao De'er and had nothing to do with Wang Gong.
On the contrary, she was very excited to see her brother.
I thought maybe I could go and have a few words with him later.
Seeing Wang Gong going out and shaking hands with Wang Mi, they were very cordial. Some of the ministers who came to see him off began to have thoughts in their hearts.
What does it mean?
Are the aristocratic families about to reconcile again?
Then, wouldn’t it mean that they, the children from poor families, would have to step aside again?
This is a natural thought, because it was like this in the past, and this was the usual method of handling disputes between courtiers in the Jin Dynasty.
It doesn't matter if there is big trouble or a rebellion. As long as everyone can sit down and talk, negotiate well, and get a compromise, then we can turn this page lightly and no one will suffer any consequences.
punishment.
Originally, people thought that with Wang Mi taking power and imprisoning Wang Gong, the atmosphere in the court might change. However, they did not expect that they were still too naive after all.
Aristocratic families are still aristocratic families after all. They are people in the same boat. Many disputes will not develop into a life-or-death situation in the end.
If it really develops to that point, the collapse of an aristocratic family will not only represent the rise and fall of a family, but also mean that people will no longer worship the aristocratic family system, and it may even cause the complete collapse of several major aristocratic families.
Which aristocratic family can sit back and watch something like that happen?
So, when the performance ended, everything returned to its original appearance.
Nothing has changed.
After bidding farewell to Wang Mi, Wang Gong sat back on the bed again. Just now, he was so excited that he even stood up!
Of course, I didn't stand up completely, but with the support of my family, I could barely stand up on my good leg.
Wang Mi looked at his old appearance with mixed feelings.
A completely expected farewell party, but something completely unexpected developed.
Although Wang Gong's arrival was not beyond Wang Mi's imagination, it was enough to surprise him.
He originally thought that Wang Gong would indeed come. He was always unwilling, so how could he miss such a good opportunity to watch the excitement?
However, Wang Mi thought that he might find an inconspicuous corner to hide in and take a look at it for himself. It would be enough to satisfy his eyes.
Unexpectedly, Wang Aning has never reflected on his mistakes and has no intention of hiding himself.
He is Wang Aning, the most handsome boy in Jiankang City. Although he is down and out, he can still shine with a strange light as long as he is willing.
It makes you have to look at me.
You see, isn’t that the case now?
He appears in front of you so openly and urgently, do you dare to stop him?
You see, even if he comes, they won't dare.
Facts have proved that if Wang Mi did not want to kill him, the rest of the gang would not dare to make a mistake even if they borrowed some courage from them.
As for Wang Mi, it would be good if Wang Gong came.
Although he was a little concerned about the fact that the Beifu soldiers were lax in their supervision and actually let him escape, but with the war approaching, he did not have the energy to dwell on such trivial matters.
