Hearing Wang Mi's answer, Wang Gong's spirit also rose.
"As a minister, isn't it right to serve the imperial court and be loyal to the Jin Dynasty? Isn't it your duty?"
"how?"
"Seeing that the achievements are getting bigger and bigger, you can't hold it back after all, can you?"
Having said this, Wang Gong was not angry, and his tone was very calm.
In his opinion, if Wang Mi could propose terms of exchange, he would not be unable to take a step back.
However, Wang Shilang disappointed him again.
"Aning, where did you go?"
"If I had such an idea, I should have put it forward at the beginning. I am fully qualified to do so. I really have no idea in this regard."
"If this is your concern, then I can guarantee that you can rest assured."
"Besides, what else?"
"Aning, you are also a smart person and sophisticated, why don't you just say your intentions directly?"
"There are no outsiders here. Aren't you and I sitting here just to untie this knot in our hearts? Why are you still hesitating?"
right!
Wang Mi has already set up the ladder here. If Wang Gong knew what was going on, he should hurry down the slope.
But we can no longer talk about him!
Wang Gong snorted twice, and two big words were engraved on his forehead: Bullshit!
After taking advantage of him, he actually let him be the bad guy!
Wang Gong just doesn't have that much ability, and he's not a fool. Will he be fooled?
"Shilang Wang is so shrewd that he naturally knows what I'm thinking. Why don't you come and talk about it? Let me see if there is a tacit understanding between old friends."
Wang Mi smiled slightly, not paying attention to Wang Gong's provocation at all.
hehe!
And you're still doing this with me.
This is what you asked me to say. I have already given you all the face you should give me, but you yourself did not accept it.
All right!
Then we can only fulfill him!
"What else can An Ning think about now? It's just that he feels unhappy after seeing my beauty."
"If you and I weren't friends before, maybe you could be more tolerant, but the most uncomfortable thing is that we were friends before, and quietly I became a great hero of the Jin Dynasty, supported by thousands of people, and loved by everyone.
In comparison, your brilliance is much inferior, so naturally you will feel unhappy."
"The most intolerable thing for people is comparison. If we were completely different from each other, you wouldn't be so unhappy."
"But back then, we were at the same level, and your status was far more advantageous than mine. But in just a few months, everything seemed to have turned upside down. How could you feel comfortable?"
Wang Gong was slightly startled, and his eyes were fixed on Wu Di's face. His expression was so calm and relaxed.
It was as if all this had been expected by him.
How could you guess so accurately?
Wang Gong was shocked, but he had to admit that what Wang Mi said was absolutely correct. What was even more terrifying was that these thoughts were hidden deep in his heart and he never dared to reveal his privacy to others!
Even he himself only really saw it clearly at this moment.
It turned out that his deep-seated hatred and undying hatred for Wang Mi actually came from here!
right!
That’s right!
It’s just a friendship!
If the two of them were not friends, Wang Gong might just confront him head-on. He would fight whoever he could win, and pull him down if he couldn't.
Judging from the current situation, if Wang Mi was not his former friend and Wang Mi did not provoke him now, maybe Wang Gong would not do anything either.
It can probably still keep the surface calm.
However, because they were friends in the past, not only in the eyes of onlookers, but also in my own heart, I felt that I was half a head shorter than Wang Mi and could not catch up in every aspect.
This is what Wang Gong cannot accept.
"So what?"
"Even if what you said is right, is there any way you can relieve me of my worries?"
"I am now the Prime Minister and in charge of the power of the imperial court. In terms of age, I am much older than you, and my qualifications are even less impressive."
"As an uncle of the state, I assist the Queen Mother in working hard for the Jin Dynasty. It can be said that I have done a lot of things."
"But look at it now, you are the one supported by the people in the city, and you are the one the court ministers want to curry favor with."
"You have the power of the Beifu soldiers in hand. Anyone who can offend you will look at your eyes, and I am no exception!"
"You are so sharp, how can I tolerate you?"
"Now all my peers in the court are laughing at my jokes. Do you think I don't know?"
"If I pretend to be deaf and mute, how can I survive in the court?"
"Frankly speaking, I am not greedy for the military power of Beifu, but what I care about is that this army has gradually escaped the control of the imperial court. One day, you will definitely step on my head!"
"Of course I don't have the ability to lead troops, nor do I have the experience, but as long as you are willing to delegate power, I can naturally find the right person."
hehe!
Put simply!
Is it so easy to find the right person?
If it were so easy, then there should be a hundred candidates right in front of him, waiting for him to choose.
But where are the people?
Where are the suitable people, the suitable people to replace Wang Mi?
Wang Mi was laughing in his heart, but pretended to be calm on the outside. Although the Beifu soldiers could not be returned to Wang Gong, he could still save some face for him.
Otherwise, what should I do if I annoy my brother and it ends badly?
"Aning, even if Beifu is in my hands now, what's the problem?"
"I didn't resist you, nor was I disrespectful to you in the slightest. You can completely treat me as your subordinate. As long as you think like this, you will feel much more comfortable."
"Think about it, if it were someone else, would your job still be so easy?"
"Will the new general win consecutive victories?"
"Would they not ask for military pay from the imperial court?"
"Can they protect the northern cities that have been captured?"
After asking three questions in a row, Wang Mi shut his mouth tightly and stopped talking. His eyes did not give up, and he just stared at Wang Gong.
You old man, you'd better think through these issues clearly before you ask me for military power.
Don't think about what comes out, just force Wang Mi to delegate power. As for the many problems that will arise after doing so, he doesn't care!
It doesn’t matter if everything is messed up!
As long as I, Wang Gong, can maintain my position, what will happen to Wang Mi and Beifu are not issues that Wang Gong is considering now.
If it was really for the sake of the Jin Dynasty, Wang Gong would not do this at all.
A general who won consecutive battles led the soldiers of the Beifu, who became more and more brave as they fought. Seeing that all the major towns in the north returned to the territory of the Jin Dynasty, it was fine not to reward such a good situation as the prime minister of the imperial court.
, you are still thinking about replacing him. Isn’t this just thinking about yourself and not thinking about Dajin at all?
All fools know that replacing the general will cause great harm to Beifu regardless of whether there has been a recent war.
It is inevitable to have people's hearts wandering, and it is very possible to even cause a big mess!
Such a serious situation was before his eyes, but Wang Gong dismissed it and still wanted to force Wang Mi to hand over power.
This is not for selfish reasons, what else could it be for?
All right!
Since he didn't think it through well, let him, Wang Mi, remind him!
Sure enough, the moment these questions were thrown out in a row, Wang Gong's expression immediately changed.
As green as iron.
It was as if he had plunged into a black pot and was covered in ashes.
Huh?
What are these problems?
Do you still have these questions?
How come he never thought of it?
Is this all true?
Could it be that Wang Mi deliberately deceived him and created so many problems in an attempt to stump him?
"These are not problems. When you hand over Beifu, someone will naturally be able to take your place. Moreover, I believe that he can do better and be no worse than you."
"Zhiyuan, if you want to still treat me as a friend, then hand over Beifu. If you don't give it a try, how can you know that no one is more suitable to lead Beifu than you?"
"You said we are friends, but because you are too sharp, our friendship is in jeopardy."
"This is not my responsibility, this is all your responsibility. Since it is your responsibility, then you have to find a way!"
"You should show your attitude. After all, we are friends, right!"
For some reason, Wang Gong, who had been so angry just now, suddenly seemed to have an enlightenment. He ate food and drank wine, and he actually found a certain charm of a playful smile.
Should this joking expression appear on his face?
Who is Wang Gong?
Although it is not always possible to determine his true character, on the surface, he must be a man who puts on airs and has the words "descendant of an aristocratic family" carved on his forehead.
It is absolutely impossible for such a fastidious person to speak in an eccentric manner. Even when he questioned Wang Mi Xingshi before, he was just angry and there was absolutely no trace of slickness.
He is not this type of person at all, and naturally he will not behave like this.
Therefore, such a sudden change also gave Wang Mi a heavy blow, leaving him unable to react for a while.
These few words were equivalent to putting Wang Mi on a very high position, holding down his hands and feet, and shouting at his friends to prevent him from coming down.
In the name of being a friend, Wang Mi was forced to submit.
Aren't they good friends?
If you are concerned about this relationship, you should consider my suggestion and hand over the military power. Who cares if I hand it over to you?
These are not things you should worry about!
How about it?
You can’t say it!
Still reluctant to part with it!
It's all human nature. Wang Mi's silence made Wang Gong even more proud, and he became nervous.
"Zhiyuan, speak!"
"I'm still waiting!"
"Of course, this matter is indeed quite big. If you can't decide for the moment, it doesn't matter. I will give you three days to think about it. You can just tell me after you take a rest and before going to court."
"How about it?"
Suddenly, the situation at the dinner table suddenly changed, and the offensive and defensive sides were completely reversed.
Wang Gong seemed to have borrowed an east wind. Riding on the east wind, his whole momentum rose.
Seeing Wang Mi speechless, Wang Gong happily drank glass after glass of fine wine.
ah!
Beautiful wine!
The taste is so delicious!
Sweet and mellow, with endless aftertaste!
Look at his proud look, his tail is almost raised to the sky. Does Wang Gong really think that with such a hollow move, he can defeat Wang Mi and make him unable to fight back?
"Why did Aning say this?"
"When did I say that Beifu belongs to me alone?"
What the hell?
What does he mean?
Wang Gong frowned and asked suspiciously: "What do you mean?"
"If you don't want to let go, just tell the truth. We are all magnanimous men. If you tell the truth, I won't laugh at you."
"It would be pointless if you still deliberately speak harshly."
Tsk tsk...
So pathetic!
Wang Mi felt a little sympathy for him.
For a person at such an old age, the brightness of his mind only lasts for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, it quickly goes offline.
Isn't this pitiful?
Who is Wang Mi?
Since he can say these words so confidently, it shows that he is very confident and has already thought of a countermeasure.
Not even alert at all.
"Aning, to be honest, so far, I am not the one who has the final say in Beifu's affairs."
"Seeing as we are old friends for many years, I will tell you the truth."
"The commander's seal of Beifu has never been in my hands. General Liu Laozhi of Beifu has been holding the commander's seal and taking charge of Beifu."
"In Beifu, I am just a soldier leading the war, working hard and mentally. You can safely handle the government affairs in the middle of the court, while I am working hard on the front line."
"I am not greedy for power. Maybe you don't believe it, but it is true. If you still have doubts, you can write a letter to Jingkou and ask. I think General Liu will be very enthusiastic to help you answer it.
.”
"How is that possible?" Wang Gong stood up suddenly. Just now, he could still remain calm. He even felt that he had the upper hand and was proud of himself.
In the blink of an eye, I became angry and couldn't sit still.
"How could you hand over Shuaiyin?"
"By doing this, you are not only sorry to the Wang family, but also to the Xie family!"
"Totally impossible!"
"Don't think that you're deceiving me because I've never been in Jingkou!"
Seeing Wang Gong wandering around the wing again with his hands behind his back, Wang Mi's anxious heart immediately returned to his stomach.
Eh!
now it's right.
This is Wang Gong's true face, and he is much more familiar.
"How is it impossible?"
"I remember that before I went to Yecheng, I told you that I had no interest in the power of Beifu. Who made you not believe it at all?"
"You should stop deceiving me. Do you think I will really believe it?"
"The handsome seal is so important, why would you hand it over?"
"If Liu Laozhi rebels, wouldn't all your management in Beifu for such a long time be in vain?"
Wang Gong's problem lies here.
His thinking is always so narrow. In his eyes, the handsome mark is very important. How can he abandon it?
It is even less likely to be handed over to others, so what Wang Mi said must be a lie.
If it's not a lie, then he is crazy.
In his view, everyone is competitive and has hidden ambitions. Perhaps Liu Laozhi, who has no handsome seal, can cooperate with Wang Mi tacitly.
However, Liu Laozhi, who has the handsome seal, will never listen to Wang Mi's mercy again!
