Four hundred and twenty-one chapters the usage of hole cards
Chapter 421: How to use trump cards (please vote!)
Everyone has their own way of using the same trump card. As the saying goes, everyone can change the tricks and each has their own ingenuity. Although the method is the same, the purpose is the same, which is to maximize the benefits as much as possible.
Just now, Ding Yunshi came forward to stir up trouble with Yang Futai. For Mr. Li, the most important role is not to add a temporary ally. Even without this ally, Jin Wanwan's status as the new head of the country would not be able to save him.
People.
The importance of Ding Yunshi's coming forward was to give Li You a buffer time, so that after Mr. Li found out the inside story, he could hide behind Ding Yunshi and calmly calculate various gains and losses. In the end, he made a decision that would make people feel crazy if he told it.
Incredible determination.
Instructing the government soldiers to open fire and kill people is just the beginning and an interlude. With the great mission of protecting the father of the new concubine Xian in hand, killing a few eunuchs and military attachés who intend to kidnap state relatives is relatively less serious, and the consequences are still controllable. Besides,
It’s not the civil servants who died.
If a civil servant came to capture Jin Wanwan in person, Mr. Li would not dare to kill him in public. The life of a civil servant is more valuable. Of course, ordinary civil servants would not come to Yangzhou in person to do such menial work.
In a sense, killing is also a warning. Don't think that any cat or dog can come over and capture Li You's relatives and friends. Anyone who hears this should be warned.
Although the Nanjing side was probably trying to whitewash themselves this time and did not deliberately target Li You, but assuming that Jin Wanwan was Yang Futai's father-in-law, would the Nanjing side dare to randomly send some people to kidnap him?
Li You has always been good at making the most of fleeting opportunities. He knows that in a favorable situation, of course, the bigger the trouble, the better. At least the bigger the trouble, the more miserable the enemy will be.
If no one is killed, under strong operation, it may be done in secret and fooled around. Trouble can always be minimized.
But after the death of a fourth-grade military attache, the death of a Nanjing internal official eunuch, and the death of a dozen officers and soldiers left on guard in Nanjing, apart from the big bosses in the Jinluan Palace, how many people dare to take responsibility for this matter?
Is it difficult to get confused?
In the courtyard of the mansion, the powerful Jin Wanwan continued to roar at Yang Futai, and the palm prints on his face became more and more distinct. The Nanjing duo who had done it themselves turned into corpses, so Yang Futai could only bear all the scorn.
.
However, Li You pushed Jin Wanwan away and stood in front of the governor in person, as if he was a criminal judge deciding the case, and he ruled word by word: "The emperor is getting married this month! During this period, Wei Guogong and Nanjing Zhongguan Wu Dayong
, actually sent people across the border to Yangzhou without permission to kidnap the new concubine’s father. How treasonous, wild and lawless this is! You don’t take the country and the country seriously!”
Ding Yunshi applauded in his heart, Li You's cleverness and eloquence were truly remarkable. At this time, he brought out the big hat of the emperor's wedding, which was enough to cover everything up. Kidnapping a relative of the country was a serious crime, and kidnapping the father of the new concubine during the emperor's wedding was a serious crime.
, even a three-year-old child knows that it is adding sin to sin. To put it more deeply, this is destroying the emperor's wedding and destroying the inheritance of the country and the country.
Li You said with overwhelming force: "Not only did Futai let it go, but he personally led his troops to coordinate actions, causing eleven deaths and instigating the beating of relatives of the country. I will never tolerate it. I will report everything truthfully and ask the court to deal with it!"
After it was confirmed that the daughter of the Jin family had become the emperor's concubine, Yang Futai fell into a state of complete powerlessness. At this point, he let out a long sigh and wondered what he was feeling in his heart.
Without saying a word, he led his subordinate officers and soldiers out of the county mansion. This time, he was badly hurt by Wei Guogong.
Li You sneered at Master Yang's back repeatedly. An unpredictable person is even more disgusting than an enemy. To use a vulgar saying, the most terrifying thing is the unknown, and no one is willing to change with it.
Dealing with unknowns.
After sending Yang Futai away, Mr. Li ordered the soldiers to collect the Nanjing sergeants and the corpses on the ground. At this time, Ding Yunshi came to his side and said, "I heard that Mr. Li once presented three poems to Yang Futai, so I'd better scatter these out later."
It’s good.”
Li You nodded and said, "That's exactly what I meant."
After the three flattering poems written specifically for Yang Futai were spread, others knew how Li You had gone to great lengths to make friends with Yang Futai.
Since Mr. Li, who has always been aloof and arrogant, has shown such a humble attitude, why does Yang Futai still oppose Mr. Li? Normal people would think that this is probably because Yang Futai himself went too far.
This is the beauty of public opinion. When Li You pinched his nose and wrote the poem of flattery, he may not have had this intention in mind, praising and killing, with the word "kill" behind the praise.
Li You and Ding Yun had little contact with each other. After exchanging a few words and having nothing to say, they said goodbye to each other. The same thing they had to do after returning home was definitely writing a memorial.
After the incident in the mansion spread, people in the Yangzhou officialdom only felt that Li You was too arrogant and rampant in killing people during the day, while Yang Futai was a little timid and afraid of getting into trouble. How could he be disciplined by Li You like a grandson? He actually withdrew without saying a word, even though
So if Jin Wanwan became a relative of the country, it wouldn't be like this?
Everyone couldn't help but speculate that the governor might be worried that Ding Yunshi and Li You would join forces and it would be difficult to deal with it.
There are high and low levels of understanding, and there are high and low levels of knowledge and experience. In the realm of being an official, there are only two people who can realize the real key points, and they are also two parties involved. Li You, who came out of the cabinet, and the successive inner court officials.
, the minister of the Ministry of Industry and later served as Yang Futai of Xinjiang.
In this matter, the two of them had a tacit understanding in another sense.
It is true that if the matter gets serious, Mr. Li who used excessive force may also be punished, but Yang Futai, who helped the tyrants commit crimes and saved more than ten lives, will have an even harder time.
It is unwise to kill a thousand enemies and injure eight hundred, but if you can kill a thousand enemies while injuring one hundred, Mr. Li thinks it is worth a try. Youth is his capital, and he can afford to wait.
If the imperial court is viewed as a whole, it will not care much about whether Yang Futai helps Li You or Nanjing, nor does it care about why Ding Yunshi changed his mind, nor does it care that these people sacrificed three melons and two dates for the sake of the local area.
Whoever wins in a bad thing will lose, and the meat will also rot in the pot.
However, with so many lives lost, officers, soldiers, and eunuchs involved, and the emperor’s wedding being the focus of the world’s attention, involving the new head of the state, the court’s thoughts could only be—
You, Yang Fu, are a high-ranking official in the border areas. You can't even do bad things for others, and you still make a ball of shit for the court to clean up. You are simply a waste!
What's the point of the imperial court ordering you, Yang Fu, to guard the place? The imperial court needs troubleshooters, not troublemakers!
Not to mention that Li You has several powerful backers in the court, who will strengthen this concept intentionally or unintentionally.
As for Li You, who worked too hard to save his relatives, the court's idea was probably to impose a three-year salary penalty!
After realizing the above, Yang Futai felt powerless. This was a general trend. Li You was not a murderer, but he just deliberately sacrificed those two unlucky guys to create this irresistible general trend. He also changed after eating Li You
Without this, how can you have any interest in competing with Li You?
However, Yang Futai always felt that Li You must have a deeper thought, but he just couldn't see through it.
