Chapter 2070: Zhao Wenhua's Temptation (Part 2)

"Zihou, harmony is precious. You are excellent, too excellent, but to speak from the bottom of my heart, it is unwise for you to be the enemy of my adoptive father Yan Song. First of all, it is the power that surrounds my adoptive father and Donglou. His disciples, old friends, cronies and like-minded people, well, they are also commonly known as the Yan Party by many people. Their sphere of influence extends from the various departments of the imperial court to local counties and even the inner court. They have great influence. You and such Being an enemy of a huge force means making enemies everywhere from the inner court, the outer court to the counties. This is very unharmony; secondly, how old is my adoptive father, Mr. Yange? If you say something disrespectful and unpleasant, Huang Ni He is half buried and dying, why are you hostile to him?"

Zhao Wenhua stood up with the teapot, added a cup of tea to Zhu Pingan, patted Zhu Pingan's shoulder gently, and said slowly.

Zhu Ping'an pretended to be listening attentively, but he was not moved at all in his heart. The reason why he chose to be an enemy of the Yan Party was precisely because the Yan Party was so powerful, ranging from the imperial court to the prefectures and counties. It had great power and influence. The scope of your harm is also large, causing trouble to the court, causing disaster to the people, breaking bones and sucking marrow, and exploiting the world. You are already a cancer on the Ming Dynasty. I can't do anything without getting rid of you.

In addition, Yan Song is old, but he can still live for many, many years. He is a rare longevity in history books.

"Zihou, my adoptive father is the chief minister of the cabinet. He relies on the trust of the emperor. I can't count the number of his disciples who have been in the ministry with one hand. There are countless officials from the imperial court to the local government. Do you think you can rely on your own strength?" Is it realistic to overthrow such a huge force? "

Zhao Wenhua tapped the table with his fingers, looked at Zhu Pingan with burning eyes, and asked seriously.

"I don't mean that." Zhu Pingan said calmly.

Of course I will not overthrow the entire Yan Party on my own. There is a master named Xu Jie and a group of people hiding behind. How can I fight alone?

Zhao Wenhua misunderstood Zhu Pingan's meaning, thinking that Zhu Pingan meant that he had no intention of overthrowing the Yan Party, and nodded with a friendly look.

Children can be taught.

"Zihou, the reason why I dare to put Donglou's instructions behind me is because I have enough confidence and ability to resolve the dispute between you and your adoptive father. Although you helped Yang Jisheng revise his impeachment of his adoptive father, "But I have the confidence and the ability. Do you believe me?"

Zhao Wenhua asked, staring at Zhu Pingan.

"Of course I trust Master Zhao." Zhu Pingan replied insincerely.

Zhao Wenhua was very satisfied with Zhu Pingan's answer. He took a sip of tea, squinted his eyes and asked with a smile, "Zihou, do you know why I am so confident?"

Zhu Ping'an shook his head. He really didn't know that he helped Yang Jisheng revise the memorial to impeach Yan Song (unfortunately Yang Jisheng did not adopt his opinion), and was demoted to a small county in the south of the Yangtze River by the Yan Party. Yan Shifan asked Zhao Wenhua before he left Beijing. It's time to deal with yourself, it's already a rift, the two sides are already in a fight to the death, I really don't know where Zhao Wenhua got the confidence to resolve this dispute.

"Because my foster father Yan Song has the same hobbies as Cao Cao." Zhao Wenhua twitched his lips and showed a confident smile.

"Like sister-in-law?" Zhu Pingan blurted out almost subconsciously.

"Pfft, Zihou, what are you thinking?" The tea in Zhao Wenhua's mouth suddenly spurted out.

Hu Zongxian on the side couldn't help but spray tea. How could an old guy in his 70s or 80s have such a hobby?

"My foster father is so old, how could he have such a hobby? Bah, bah, bah, even when he was young, he didn't have this hobby." Zhao Wenhua wordlessly reached out and tapped Zhu Pingan, asking Zhu Pingan to pay more attention to what he said. , "Stop talking nonsense, my foster father Yan Ge Lao and Cao Cao have the same hobby of 'cherishing talents'. Because of cherishing talents, Cao Cao let go of the martial sage Guan Yu, let go of Changshan Zhao Zilong, and spared and reused his eldest son to death He loved Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu, generals of Dian Wei, and reused enemy generals Zhang Liao and Gao Lan..."

"My adoptive father, Mr. Yan Ge, also has this hobby of 'cherishing talents'. Before you became Xu Jie's teacher, you often opposed my adoptive father. However, my adoptive father cherished his talents, so he repeatedly gave Xu Jie opportunities and promoted him to the cabinet. , and you Zihou, you are also very talented, very talented. My adoptive father, Mr. Yan Ge, admires you very much. Really, he said it in front of us. He admires you very much and said that you will be a great leader in the future. Ding Zhicai, a long time ago, Donglou proposed to take you down many times, but was stopped by my adoptive father Yan Song. He said that you are still young, you became famous at a young age, your mind is immature, and you are easily deceived by the opinions of the outside world. , he said that you have talents and can be cultivated to become a pillar of the imperial court."

Zhao Wenhua then spoke slowly, mentioning the secrets within the Yan Party to show Yan Song's true appreciation of talents.

"Didn't you realize that although you helped Yang Jisheng to commit abuse, my adoptive father Yan Song demoted you to Jiangnan. What he did was not to strangle you, but to beat him. He has always given you a chance, and he cherishes your talent."

Zhao Wenhua patted Zhu Ping'an's shoulder lightly and said in a encouraging tone, "So, as long as you find your way back, you don't even need to say anything nice in front of your adoptive father, you can turn your hostility into friendship."

Zhu Pingan listened attentively, but remained silent.

"Zihou, you should know that my adoptive father, Yan Ge Lao, is the chief minister of the cabinet, second only to the emperor, and his disciples and former officials or followers are all over the world. You can be appreciated by him, which is an opportunity that many people dream of. It is no exaggeration to say that the door to a meteoric rise is open in front of you. As long as you take a step, you can walk in. With your adoptive father Yan Song to protect you from the wind and rain, and with your followers all over the world to support you, firearms and gunpowder, food and military pay, all are a matter of a word. If you make a mistake, there are people who cover it up for you, settle it for you, and speak for you; if you make a contribution, there are people who applaud you, praise you in front of the emperor, and fight for benefits for you."

Zhao Wenhua saw that Zhu Ping'an was unmoved, and stopped beating around the bush. He told him the benefits of joining the Yan Party one by one, and persuaded him earnestly.

Zhu Ping'an just pulled the corner of his mouth.

"Perhaps you have different political views from my adoptive father, Lord Yan, and have opinions about him. But have you ever thought that my adoptive father is already very old. To be unfilial, how many years can he still devote to the Ming Dynasty?"

"Who will take over the huge power of the Yan Party after my adoptive father is gone? Haha, why can't it be me, Zhao Wenhua? I won't hide it from you. I do intend to take over this huge power. Yes, that's right, Donglou is indeed smart and capable, and he is the legitimate successor of my adoptive father, but he has too many shortcomings and deficiencies. He is not suitable to take over this huge power."

"I am much older than you. After I am gone for a hundred years, who will take over this huge power? It will still be your generation, and your generation, in terms of talent, achievements, and official positions, who can compare with you?"

"That is to say, decades later, you will be the leaders of this huge power, Zihou."

"Instead of overthrowing this power, it is better to lead this power." Zhao Wenhua persuaded earnestly. (End of this chapter)
