As soon as Zhao Huan opened his mouth, Li Gang was stunned again.
Even if you speak quickly, there must be a limit. As soon as you opened your mouth, you directly talked about cultivating a spy network, and now you directly threatened to seek military power.
Li Gang finally figured out that as soon as Zhao Huan opened his mouth, he would never stop talking without surprising anyone.
"What can we do to take over military power?"
"When the prince and the official meet for the first time, it would be too much to talk about these sensational topics, right?"
"Even if the prince trusts the official, the official may not trust the prince."
"After all, the prince's reputation for unscrupulous means to achieve his goals has long been known to everyone. If the prince wanted to avenge Master Li, and Xiaguan promised, the prince would go to Dali Temple to expose it. Wouldn't it be possible for Xiaguan to die without knowing how?"
"Besides, you are the prince, and I am the young minister of Taichang Temple. It is against the rules to talk in private, so please be careful in your words and deeds."
Zhao Huan doesn’t care so much!
Although he has received the full support of the Zhu family, and Zhao Shiyan is in charge of Jingzhao Mansion, in the final analysis, without soldiers, he will never be able to strengthen his waist.
However, the military power in Beijing is basically in the hands of the Dianqiansi, and the relationship between the Dianqiansi and Cai Jing is too ambiguous.
Let’s put it this way!
Now every time Zhao Huan wants to get a soldier, he has to pluck it from Cai Jing's hands. How difficult is it?
Li Gang's appearance was a timely help, and Zhao Huan naturally wanted to seize this precious opportunity.
Under Li Gang's funny yet cautious gaze, Zhao Huan stood up and poured tea for Li Gang himself.
"Lord Li, you all know who I am, and you should also understand that I never seek revenge overnight, because my enemy is killed on the same day."
"If I am disadvantageous to Mr. Li, there is no need to go around and around, just be direct. Anyway, the war in Yizhou is intense now, and Your Majesty cannot do without me."
"Even if you commit a heinous crime, Your Majesty will turn a blind eye."
Having said this, Zhao Huan picked up the tea cup, put it into Li Gang's hand, and patted the back of Li Gang's hand. His movements were extremely disgusting!
"This is a critical moment, and we don't have time to take our time and test each other."
"Party cooperation is actually no different from having a partner. If you like it, stay together, and if you don't, then say goodbye."
This statement immediately made Li Gang laugh. He had seen a prince who was out of character, but he had never seen a prince who was as out of character as Zhao Huan.
But if you taste it carefully, Zhao Huan's words, although rough and inferior, still reveal a bit of... great wisdom and foolishness.
Li Gang said nothing, just looked at Zhao Huan with a smile to see what other flowers Zhao Huan could name.
"It's really a bit abrupt to talk about cooperation when we first meet."
"But I just like to cut vegetables with a scimitar and a ladle, and I pay attention to doing it neatly."
"You take over the military power, and I will be the man behind you, ensuring that you are free from political suppression."
"To put it bluntly, I am operating from the rear, you just need to rush forward."
Li Gang couldn't hold it any longer and quickly put down the teacup, fearing that he might lose his grip and drop it to the ground.
He held his belly and laughed.
"Your Majesty's words are really eye-opening to me."
"There will never be another person in the world who can speak so freely and yet have hidden meanings like the prince."
"Since the prince is so happy, I will no longer hold my position. You and I will open the skylight and speak openly."
"Even if you make Yizhou as big as an iron barrel, it won't change the fact that the Jin soldiers can invade Bianjing at any time, and they can't stop it even if they want to."
"The difference is that if Yizhou is strong, it can cut off the Jin soldiers' backup, leaving its vanguard isolated and helpless."
"If you want to attack the Jin soldiers with Yizhou, Bianjing City must work together."
"But the problem is that uniting as one is just a beautiful fantasy. Having a group of weaklings entrenched in the court will only do bad things."
Zhao Huan slapped his thigh, stood up excitedly, and sighed loudly: "Master Li and I really want to go together."
"That's right, there are too many weaklings in the DPRK. When I hear the name of the Jin, my calves tremble. To expect them to stand firm and fight against the Jin is just a fantasy."
"A brave and skilled iron-blooded general should obey the orders of a group of weaklings. It is really a joke in the world."
Li Gang's eyes also brightened, feeling that it was too late to meet the crazy prince in front of him!
Although Li Gang was more than twenty years older than Zhao Huanchi, and there was a difference in his superiority and inferiority, in Li Gang's heart, he was more willing to regard Zhao Huan as a close friend who shared the same aspirations.
If this doesn't even count as feeling like old friends at first sight, what does?
"Let's not talk about military power. If there is collusion in the court, how will the prince plan to deal with it?"
"You must know that officials' words are guiltless, but people's words are to be feared."
"Even though the national policy is now focused on war, the war has not really started yet. Once we see the bravery of the Jin people, I am afraid that the wind will change drastically in just a blink of an eye."
"By then, cowardice will become the mainstream in the court. Even if we shout at the top of our lungs to fight to the death with the Jin people, we will immediately be drowned in the wave of cowardice."
Zhao Huan has thought about this a long time ago, or in other words, the thing he is least afraid of is some bullshit saying the official is not guilty.
Zhao Huan's fighting spirit was high and his tone was even more resounding.
"Let him have his way, Mr. Li, just do your business. If anyone disturbs you, I will slap him with a big ear and a post!"
"The best way to deal with those so-called officials is not to argue with them, but to be able to explain clearly when a scholar encounters a soldier."
"After all, one mouth is no match for a hundred battles. As long as you open your mouth to argue, you will inevitably be passive."
"You just need to believe that no matter what the court situation and public opinion is, as long as I am here, no one can touch you."
Feeling Zhao Huan's confidence, Li Gang was also greatly encouraged.
He immediately stood up, bowed to Zhao Huan, and bowed solemnly.
"I don't have high expectations when I return to Beijing this time. After all, traitors are in power and Cai Jing and his ilk are still covering the sky with one hand."
"But now that the prince is helping me, my confidence has doubled."
"Your Majesty, you can put your words here. As long as your Majesty can keep your back, then you don't have to worry about what's going on in front of you!"
What Zhao Huan wanted was this sentence, so he directly gave Li Gang another reassurance.
"Now, I have the Zhu family, the main war faction of the Hanlin Academy, the Kaifeng Mansion, and now Master Li joining me. Even if I confront Cai Jing in the court, I am confident that I will not fall behind."
"In order to cope with the coming catastrophe, we don't have much time anymore. You must seize 30% of the military power within a month!"
Li Gang was stunned: "A month? It's probably as hard as climbing to heaven!"
Zhao Huan was also unambiguous and straightforward: "It is not impossible for me to help you."
Since Zhao Huan was so confident, Li Gang naturally risked his life to accompany the gentleman: "Okay! I will go crazy with the prince... as crazy as I do!"
