Chapter 1604 Raising tigers is a problem, or farmers and snakes
Chapter 1604: Raising a tiger is a disaster, or is it a farmer and a snake
The breeze blows, the shadows of the bamboo forest move, and the bamboo leaves rustle. Standing in front of the window, enjoying the coolness of nature, silence everywhere, in the darkness, the scenery in the courtyard is invisible, but the wind brings the fragrance of flowers and plants, refreshing, which makes Xia Xiang enjoy it very much.
It's a fresh and pleasant place.
As expected, they are all political experts who are quick-witted and quick-witted. They immediately responded quickly when there was any movement. Xia Xiang was stunned for a moment, standing in front of the window, enjoying the coolness of the breeze, but his mind was not at all cool.
I have to say that Yanei's proposal hit the nail on the head. Not to mention anything else, at least one of the proposals to defeat He Jianghai made him feel excited.
But no matter how excited he is, he also knows that compared with the civilians, the contradiction between him and the opposition is more deeply rooted. Although Yanei's proposal is good, it has strong operationality.
Even if he really joins hands with Zhou Hongji and Sun Ximin, and then uses Qiu Renli's power to eventually defeat He Jianghai and his team, the problem is that after the situation in Qi Province with three ties becomes a binary opposition, he and Zhou Hongji will still stand on the opposite side.
What's more, when He Jianghai fell, although his sphere of influence would expand a lot, Zhou Hongji's strength would also grow as well.
The attitude of Yanei seemed to be full of sincerity, and it seemed to be working with him with the supermarket incident and sincere heart to show his attitude of judging the situation, and he was also polite to the three firsts. In fact, if you analyze it carefully, it is not the case, which is exactly the cleverness of Yanei's actions - or the cleverness of the person behind Yanei.
At the moment of Qi Province, He Jianghai's decline has been revealed. Whether it is taking advantage of the victory to chase the dogs, or it is better to chase the remaining bravely in the enemy. In short, whether it is him or Zhou Hongji, there are common demands to completely weaken He Jianghai's power. Regardless of whether there is a supermarket incident or not, the trend of cooperation is inevitable.
The reason why the yamen side used the supermarket incident to speak out and showed a weak attitude, both giving in and tolerating, is actually to be confused by him, making him relax his vigilance and make him self-righteous, so that after He Jianghai was defeated, he could quickly occupy the high point when Qi Province entered a period of binary opposition.
...In fact, looking at the current situation of Qi Province, whether it is Qiu Renli, Sun Ximin, or Zhou Hongjian, they have to admire Xia Xiang's vision and skills, because no one can imagine that Xia Xiang will first join forces with Zhou Hongji in the situation of Qi Province, which fully demonstrates that political differences will undergo temporary contrasts due to changes in the situation and changes in interests.
Xia Xiang's cleverness is that he took over Zhou Hongji in a timely and firm manner, made full use of the power of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and took advantage of Zhou Hongji's eagerness to open up the situation, which made He Jianghai pay a heavy price for his arrogance.
Having said that, Xia Xiang is completely utilizing Zhou Hongji. Cooperation under common interests is always a win-win situation, otherwise there will be no basis for cooperation. Since it is a win-win situation, it is to use each other to gain their own benefits.
But... just like the Three Kingdoms, when the three parties are opposed, the cooperation between any two parties is very limited and guarding against each other. There will be no close comrade-in-arms joint efforts, and there may be a possibility of parting ways at any time and holding hands with the opposite party.
Whether it is the Yanei or the person behind the Yanei, they proposed three seemingly sincere cooperation conditions through the supermarket incident, which was actually to let Xia Xiang realize the determination to cooperate. In other words, it was to tell Xia Xiang that they would not change their minds until He Jianghai was completely destroyed.
...It was indeed an extremely rare opportunity. Xia Xiang felt infinite emotion in his heart. Politics is indeed the most unreliable friendship. No matter what inside story there was in the capital, Zhou Hongji called after the Prime Minister and asked to truly join forces. In the changing situation, it really responded to the old saying - turning against each other faster than turning over a book!
Xia Xiang has always been determined and decisive in doing things, but this time, he hesitated, indeed.
Not to mention his always-favorite feelings towards the Prime Minister, despite his experience, he still cannot be hostile to the Prime Minister for a while. He just said that the Prime Minister has never made any ruthless moves against him, and his favorability towards the Prime Minister is far greater than opposition.
Besides, opposing a method that once had to kill him, his cooperation with Zhou Hongji is barely reasonable. If he works closely with Yanei, at least he cannot accept it emotionally!
Xia Xiang has no natural disgust towards Zhou Hongji, but he has natural hostility towards Yanei. In addition, Yanei is now in the capital and has extended his hand to Xiao Jia. How can he be at ease when he cooperates with Yanei? How can he be content with him?
But rejecting Zhou Hongji in one go, missing the current great opportunity, is also suspected of being acted in a state of mind. From a political point of view, he is not considered a mature politician.
A mature politician always places personal emotions and interests on both sides and never confuses them.
Another point is that Xia Xiang knows two stories well, one is raising a tiger, and the other is a farmer and a snake.
Seeing that Xia Xiang was in silence, Zhou Hongji didn't speak, and sat in his seat to ponder, because he knew that Xia Xiang needed time to digest the amazing news he conveyed, and also needed to straighten out his ideas and calculate gains and losses, so he had to leave enough space for Xia Xiang to think.
And he had reason to believe that with Xia Xiang's means and political wisdom, he would definitely agree to join forces with him. Regardless of whether he would turn against his enemy in the future, at least he would temporarily reach an agreement in the goal of dealing with the common enemy.
If a person has no long-term thinking, he will have immediate worries. But when it comes to clarity, no one will see the future. The immediate interests are the most important.
Besides, the more careful Xia Xiang thinks, the more relieved Zhou Hongji is. If Xia Xiang does not think about it, he will worry if Xia Xiang has other plans behind his back.
Zhou Hongji believes in Xia Xiang's character. As long as Xia Xiang nods, he will definitely not regret it and will not be bothered. Therefore, he believes that the cooperation with Xia Xiang has a foundation of trust. However, he can never achieve true trust for He Jianghai.
Xia Xiang thought for five minutes, but in fact, it was not a long time for real thinking, but the reason why he deliberately delayed it for a longer time was to show his seriousness.
Xia Xiang actually thought of the historical story Cao Shukai told him again, which was an indulgent way for honest officials to punish corrupt officials, and he suddenly became much more enlightened.
Back in his seat, Xia Xiang picked up the wine glass: "Hongji, come, get the wine in the glass together."
Zhou Hongji smiled and said, "For the last glass of wine, you must have a toast." The implication is that Xia Xiang wants to say something in person.
Xia Xiang smiled and said, "The relationship is deep, and I'm bored."
Zhou Hongji was overjoyed. So, did Xia Xiang agree?
...
Xia Xiang agreed to part of Zhou Hongji's cooperation, but did not agree to everything. Of course, the agreement was silently agreed in his heart, and did not say it clearly. As for the last sentence "Deep feelings, a boring mouthful" how Zhou Hongji understood it was his business. He could just treat it as a toast. What can just be said in the winery?
Not bad, Xia Xiang was really tricked, to be precise, he was tricked.
But cheating is also for the better tomorrow, Xia Xiang comforted himself very scoundrelly. Maybe one day Zhou Hongji will accuse him of not keeping his word, and then he can say with confidence that he actually said nothing.
...It is true that you can't say anything!
When she returned home, Cao Shuyan was already dreaming. She curled up in her body and sleeping like a poor kitten. She felt pity for her. She gently covered her with a towel and quilt and quietly came to Piaotianwen.
Xia Xiang asked in detail what kind of resistance Xiao Jia's business encountered in Beijing.
The more I listened, the more I became more frightened. It is no exaggeration to say that it was the first time that Xiao Jia had faced a major frontal and comprehensive sniper in more than ten years of business in Beijing. It was an organized and all-round erosion operation, leaving no backlash or retreat, and all I wanted was to swallow Xiao Jia in one bite.
Xiao Jia has been in the capital for many years and has always been at peace with herself. Although she has done a lot of business, she never reveals a side with backstage and background, which has created the illusion that Xiao Jia's success is accidental. In addition, Xiao Jia is a mysterious single woman, which invisibly makes many people pursue her beauty and wealth.
In the early years, Xiao Jia successfully repelled many crazy bees and waves, but in recent years, as Xiao Jia retreated behind the scenes, few people have chased him.
Now, the idea of Yanei's actions is unknown whether he wants to take Xiao Jia and others and wealth as his own, but the vicious methods and the sinister intentions make Xia Xiang angry.
Among the few women, although Xiao Jia is the most charming and charming, she is the most willing to be later and obscurity. She is the most thorough and straightforward of all women. Guyu may have a day to fly away, Fu Xiantian is imagining, or he may turn around and leave. Even Yan Xiao waited for him for ten years, and maybe he would be sad and parting, but Xiao Jia will never leave him.
Xia Xiang believed that he could always be the harbor he could rest at any time, one was Cao Shugui, one was Lian Ruohan, and the other was Xiao Jia.
Of course, some extreme situations will not happen, but in Xia Xiang's mind, Xiao Jia is a woman who can share the hardships!
For many years, Xiao Jia has always been a forest behind him. He wants wind and rain, and he has never disappointed him once. Now, Yanei has put his ideas on Xiao Jia, and he uses all means to do everything. Xia Xiang's anger, his disgust towards Yanei became stronger.
If we consider the grievances of Niu Linguang from Qin and Tang dynasties back then, it is time for the account between him and the yamen to be settled properly!
After some careful consideration, Xia Xiang finished chatting with Xiao Jia, and then called Xu Guanhua, Yang Wei and Oh Chen in turn...
