The frames of the two princes enter Langya one in front and the other behind.

Then, it seemed like they were out of Langya City one by one, and walked southward to Lanling.

They both knew that the other party had come, and they also knew that the other party had visited the governor of Langya, and they knew more clearly that they were going to see Guo Ziyi next.

Every prince has a heart to be an emperor.

But it is impossible to become an emperor with only mind.

Since ancient times, there have been many battles in imperial power. Whoever can win the most support will be the one who will laugh to the end.

So in order to win support, the princes didn't care about any promises at all, but supporters were not easy to recruit.

For example, the two princes who had just visited Langya have almost no gains. No matter how polite they were or they used various expressions and hints, it was a pity that their thoughts were all in vain, and the governor Li Boran did not make any statement from beginning to end.

This disappointed the two princes.

But I don't feel depressed.

If you want to recruit a big boss to join the camp, especially a big boss who is in charge of the four states at the same time, you must have enough patience and never give up because of a temporary failure.

It's just a temporary failure, it doesn't matter.

Since you have arrived in Shandong, what you are most lacking is time and opportunity. If you visit more in the future, you will only visit five times if you don’t have three visits to the cottage.

So the two princes were not discouraged, but could quickly calm down and rush to Lanling New City while discussing with their aides and confidants.

The two teams of carriages, one in front and one behind, are actually not far apart. You can see each other by looking into the distance. However, since leaving Chang'an, the two sides have never said hello from beginning to end, and even their staff have not said hello...

...

The carriage walked slowly, and the bumpy rhythm made people lazy. A staff member slowly lifted the curtain and watched the other convoy in front of him.

After a while, he put down the curtain of the car, then looked at the eighteenth prince in the car, and smiled and joked: "Do you feel regretful now?"

This sentence was so mindless, but the prince in the car nodded and said, "I do regret it. I should adopt your suggestion. Unfortunately, Langya has been out now, and it is not appropriate to go back to purchase gifts... If we go back to purchase, we will delay time. Once we delay time, Brother Jiu will come to see Guo Ziyi in front of me."

As he said that, he glanced at the staff, sighed and said, "Mr. Sun, do you have any chance to remedy this matter? Although I am the 19th prince, I am a well-known bold King of Birth. But this time I made a mistake in giving gifts, and my stingy ninth brother took the lead."

"He is such a stingy person who will suddenly purchase gifts in Langya City. And I, the king of Shou, who is known as the generous one, only those gifts brought by Chang'an in the convoy."

"The things in the world are most afraid of comparison. In this way, Brother Jiu seized the opportunity."

"Mr. Sun, you are a talented person and should know what the initiative means. So, can this matter be remedied?"

At this time, there were four staff members sitting in the car. The one who became Mr. Sun asked the question just now. He smiled again when he heard this. He spoke slowly: "If you lose, you lose. Remedy is impossible..."

"I have made suggestions three times in a row to ask Your Highness to give Guo Ziyi a generous gift, but Your Highness is undecided and thinks that doing so is inappropriate."

"Now I see two more gifts in the Ninth Prince's convoy, and your highness's convoy is still brought by you from Chang'an. One side is to temporarily increase gifts, and the other side is to keep it as it is. Haha, the contrast is very strong."

"Your Highness, you have just said that the most feared comparison in the world is. By this comparison, you seem to be insincere enough."

"And the ninth prince, who has always been extremely stingy, seems more sincere than you this time."

There was a silence in the car.

After a long time, King Shou slowly spoke and said, "The so-called sincerity should be from the sincerity. If the gift is given more, it is considered sincere, then this sincerity seems to be..."

Before he finished speaking, Mr. Sun smiled leisurely and waved his hand and said, "This is right, but not entirely true. Sincerity is indeed sincere, but sincerity can also be reflected in gifts. The key is to look at who is targeted, because everyone has a different understanding of sincerity."

"For example, when we visit the governor of Langya, we cannot express our sincerity by gifts. Li Boran, the governor, was born in the Wuyang Palace. He has been a famous talented man who has been well-read in poetry and books since childhood. He values ​​knowledge, etiquette, rules, and tradition..."

"In short, this man is a Confucian scholar, so if we want him to feel sincerity, the method we use must be the method of human beings."

King Shou nodded involuntarily, and the other three staff members in the car nodded. Suddenly, one of them asked and said with a deep meaning: "What about Guo Ziyi? What kind of person is he?"

Mr. Sun smiled casually, raised his hand and clenched his fists, and said, "Reckless man, brave, rough and scheming. Before this man showed his heroic appearance, he dared to scold Li Linfu in the court. Even when facing His Majesty, he also acted like he would say whatever he wanted... He was not pretending, he was born like this."

"To borrow a folk saying, this kind of person is called a straight donkey. He has a bad temper and a straight temper. He dares to turn against him if he disagrees with him. I dare to beat him up."

"But this kind of personality is very good, especially the general must have this kind of personality. Otherwise, if a general has a very deep cunning, will there be other smart people in the world?"

"Smart people rely on their brains to make a living, and generals rely on their martial arts to make a living. As a result, a general has both force and brains, while a smart person cannot play with his brains and cannot beat him. How can he survive? How can he survive? "

"So I think that Guo Ziyi has a good personality. He is a natural general, so he should be born like this. He has a straight temper, a bad temper, has no scheming, and does not know how to bend..."

When Mr. Sun said this, the topic seemed to be a bit off the line, but in fact it did not go astray. Instead, he laid the groundwork and then expressed his original intention.

"Now that we know Guo Ziyi's personality, we can understand how he understands sincerity..."

"In the eyes of all reckless men, when looking at things, they focus on the surface, such as whether someone speaks kind enough to him, and how many gifts a person gives when he visits him. This is sincerity, and reckless men think this is sincerity."

"But we all know that it is easy to pretend to be kind when speaking, and giving gifts only requires money, so whether speaking or giving gifts is the most inconsistent way. However, such words do not make sense to the reckless men."

"They only focus on the surface, but they think that this is sincerity. On the contrary, if we use the literati method, the reckless men immediately think that it is hypocrisy. They dislike hypocrisy and they like actual gains."

Mr. Sun made a long speech, and after he finished speaking, he smiled at Cen Cen again and looked at Shou Wang and said, "I asked Your Highness to buy more gifts in order to allow Guo Ziyi to gain actual gains. Unfortunately, your Highness has lost the opportunity due to his reserve... You have also said that it is too late to go back to purchase, because that will allow the Ninth Prince to visit first, and whoever visits first will gain a greater advantage."

These words seemed to be ridiculed, or to teach a lesson. As an aide, it seemed to be a bit overwhelming.

But King Shou looked surprised and said hurriedly: "Mr. Sun scolded me several times in a row, obviously because he had a remedy for this matter, right?"

Mr. Sun smiled slowly and nodded with a smile.

really!

King Shou was very excited and couldn't help but stand up and saluted solemnly: "Please use magical means, and never let Brother Jiu seize the opportunity..."

"You know, Guo Ziyi is so important. Since he showed his talents, his father has greatly appreciated him and was given the position of general, but also given the custody of five palaces."

"I even acquiesced to Guo Ziyi to recruit soldiers, and my father seemed to have forgotten to limit Guo Ziyi's recruitment limit."

"When I heard this news, I almost thought it was in a dream. Oh my god, there is no limit on the recruitment limit... This means that as long as Guo Ziyi has the ability, he will definitely become the tenth vassal governor of the Tang Dynasty."

"Even, the most powerful military governor."

When King Shou said this, he seemed very anxious. He suddenly bent down and saluted his aide solemnly again, and said sincerely: "Mr. Sun, please use your means. Guo Ziyi is so important, so you must not let him be recruited by Brother Jiu."

Mr. Sun nodded slowly, his face gradually became solemn and said in a deep voice: "First of all, I want to remind you that Your Highness should pay attention to his words. The so-called means should not be used lightly, especially for people like Guo Ziyi, you cannot use any means to him."

"Otherwise, the gain will not be worth the loss. Even if he feels that someone has used the means, no one can suppress the rage of this reckless man. Don't say that you are just a prince now, you are even the emperor and he dares to fight."

King Shou's face changed and he said in a daze: "Then, then, what should I do?"

Mr. Sun breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly raised his hand and lifted the curtain of the carriage, pointed out and pointed at both sides of the road, as if he was inexplicably asked: "Your Highness, look out, can you understand what? If you understand something, then the matter is halfway..."

King Shou was stunned again, subconsciously approached the car window, and even the other three aides came over.

All looked out.

...

At this time, the autumn harvest had just been completed and the fields had not yet had enough time to plow, so the eyes could almost be said to be endless.

The flat and empty fields can even be seen more than ten miles away from the official road. The bank is lush and towering trees are covered with towering trees. The autumn wind blows, mixed with the slight fishy smell of the river.

On the river bank, people can be seen from time to time. They are groups of people, seemingly digging ditches.

Occasionally, there is a sense of laughter in the wind, which exudes a sincere joy, but that is the joy of the people and it is difficult to resonate with noble people.

So after watching it for a long time, King Shou felt that he had no gains or understanding.

He was a little nervous, couldn't help looking at Mr. Sun, and said embarrassedly: "I, I..."

Mr. Sun sighed and waved his hand and said, "Your Highness does not need to blame yourself. I have guessed that you can't understand anything. The reason is very simple. Your Highness has been in a rich and generous manner since he was a child. Alas, princes and nobles, ridiculous princes and nobles..."

King Shou felt a little unhappy and his face seemed a little embarrassed, but he held back and didn't show it, but he no longer thought it.

Unfortunately, Mr. Sun is not a celestial being after all, and he cannot see through a prince's heart, so he still offers advice and said with a serious stern saying: "The good remedies I have come up with for Your Highness are actually the world outside the car, the vast world, the people are struggling, and the people have been poor throughout the ages, and Guo Ziyi is a person who sympathizes with the poor..."

"Your Highness might as well recall the information we have collected over the past year. Does everything about Guo Ziyi have to do with the people?"

"When he settled in Lanling, he bought a winery to run a business. He didn't make much money at that time, but he had already started to help the poor."

"He went to Chang'an to participate in Wuke, leading the cavalry along the way, but after arriving in Guanlong, he chose to dismount and walk, because there were more people on the road, and he didn't want to disturb even a single person."

"After becoming a general, he made his first fortune in his life, but did not seek any enjoyment, but took out all the money to purchase goods. Then he formed a huge caravan and set off thousands of miles away and walked back."

"Along the way, he slept in the open air. It is said that he could not bear to eat or drink, but he helped countless refugees, and even let them eat some meat for each meal."

"He is a reckless man, he has a bad temper, but his kindness to the poor people is one of the best sincerity in the world."

"So, Your Highness Shou, have you understood something now? Do you know how to win Guo Ziyi's approval?"

Mr. Sun's eyes were bright, as if he wanted to penetrate the heart of King Shou.

...

In fact, King Shou felt very dissatisfied.

But he knew that Mr. Sun's wisdom was as profound as abyss.

This aide was the one who had spent his whole life and had helped him barely tie him to his side. Therefore, every time this aide offered suggestions, he always had a mentality of a master and a father.

However, King Shou was very fed with this mentality.

But he also knew that he had to rely on Mr. Sun's ability.

So even though he didn't agree with it in his heart and had no understanding of Mr. Sun's words just now, he tried hard to pretend to be humble and salute respectfully: "I am stupid and cannot understand too much for the time being. Please teach me how to do it. I will definitely do it with all my heart."

The disappointment in Mr. Sun's eyes flashed.

After a long time, he spoke slowly and said, "Get out of the car with me. Let's walk to Lanling. I want your highness to see the scenery along the way..."
