Mythology Starts with Childish Skills

Meng Zhao certainly understood what Kuang Tianyou meant.

If you want to maximize benefits, you must give strong support and attention to those who are optimistic about the situation when the situation is still unclear.

Just like when a prince seizes the heir, if you place your bet in advance, your future profits will be greater.

If someone has already made it clear that he will be promoted to the throne, and the decree of canonizing the prince has been issued, and you stick to it, it will be like climbing on the dragon and attaching importance to the phoenix, flattering the superior and undermining the inferior, and you may not get much benefits.

However, Kuang Tianyou's words could no longer be said to be a hint, but a clear statement that he wanted to ask Meng Zhao for his opinion on what he thought of the Ninth Prince.

Not to mention that Meng Zhao himself was not involved in this kind of thing. The warning given to him by Meng Jizu alone prevented him from acting rashly, so he shook his head and replied,

"I understand what Brother Kuang means, but this matter is of great importance. The elders of the family have the final say. I can't decide anything by myself, so if Brother Kuang comes to me, I'm afraid it will be futile."

Kuang Tianyou showed a disappointed expression on his face, but obviously Meng Zhao's previous performance had made him somewhat mentally prepared, and he smiled lightly on his pale face.

"Then let's put aside the family and just talk about the individual? Doesn't Mr. Meng think that the Ninth Prince is a good choice?"

Meng Zhao really hadn't thought about this. After all, he was under the wings of the Meng family. There was really no need for him to be like those people whose future was precarious and whose future was unpredictable, betting heavily on an unpredictable future. Even if this He is a prince who seems to have infinite glory.

The world is changing. For Boyun's treacherous court, gaining power temporarily does not mean gaining power forever. The risk is too great, and there is no intention or necessity to invest in others.

This is from a big, macro perspective.

Based on his personal character and emotions, Meng Zhao did not feel that he was used to being a master and would be willing to be a slave.

In front of the mysterious man Zhao Hun, he had been groveling and deliberately trying to please him for a year. He did not want to have such an experience again.

In addition, he didn't even understand what kind of person the Ninth Prince was. How could he be willing to defect to him so easily under the persuasion of a stranger? It's not like he was beheaded.

So no matter how he looked at it or thought about it, he didn't think that turning to the Ninth Prince was a good choice.

He already had a conclusion in his mind, but it didn't appear on the surface. Instead, he pondered for a moment and asked,

"Brother Kuang has been speaking and lobbying for the Ninth Prince. Could it be that you, or the Kuang family behind you, are already close to the Ninth Prince? The Ninth Prince would use someone from Jianan Pass. This does not seem to be a wise choice. Bar!"

Kuang Tianyou heard Meng Zhao's test and slightly forceful reply to test the current situation of the Kuang family. Since the beginning of the conversation, he had spared no effort in praising Beitang Shu to refute his point of view.

Kuang Tianyou didn't get angry at all, but explained very patiently,

"I can honestly tell Mr. Meng that the Kuang family has not boarded the Ninth Prince's ship yet, but they have this idea and willingness, so they have been contacting people in an attempt to increase their strength and weight in order to be in the Ninth Prince's camp in the future. , gain more influence and voice.

As for whether the Ninth Prince will turn us away because of Jianan Pass, I think this is not a problem at all.

If he is really an emperor who has the world in mind and China in his heart, then not only Jianan Pass, but also people from the evil path may not be unable to accept him.

If he is really hesitant and fearful because of Jianan Pass, it means that it is just an illusion and he doesn't give in. "

Kuang Tianyou's reply was very true, and Meng Zhao was thoughtful.

In order to compete for the throne, preparations in all aspects are indispensable, such as the emperor's respect and favor, one's own strength and reputation, personal ability and charm, etc.

After all, if he can really ascend to power in the future, wouldn't it matter whether it's Jianan Pass or the Demonic Path, they would all be his people, wouldn't they all be the territory under his rule?

From this point of view, Kuang Tianyou and the others' choice was not wrong. Maybe they could use Jianan Pass to give Beitang Shu a try and see if this person could really work.

"So, Brother Kuang, what do you think the Ninth Prince needs in Jianan Pass?"

I have to say that this question is very heart-wrenching. What do a group of exiles need from the current prince? If it is not necessary, why should we accept such a group of stained and stigmatized people?

Kuang Tianyou's deep eyes suddenly burst out with strong momentum,

“Jianan Pass is very poor and the environment is very harsh, but the harder it is, the more difficult the environment is, the more powerful people can be created.

If Brother Meng insists on asking what is in Jianan Pass, my answer is only one word, people.

People who are full of talent and wisdom are everywhere. People with strong martial arts skills and cruelty are not uncommon. Death warriors who put life and death aside and are ready to sacrifice their lives at any time can be seen everywhere.

With such a group of people, doesn’t Brother Meng think it’s valuable? "

Meng Zhao nodded. Indeed, the most precious resource is always people, not anything else.

If you have people, you have the strength and confidence. You can use people to earn property and develop relationships. In short, with such a group of people here, Jianan Pass may really be not just a place of exile, but a place where many people A cornucopia of neglect.

If Meng Zhao's own status was not too low and his starting point was not enough, he might have wanted to replace Beitang Shu and hold these fierce and fearless people in Jianan Pass in his hands. This would be tantamount to a weapon with outstanding deterrent power. A nuclear bomb is enough to unleash astonishing destructive power.

If it weren't for Dayong and the rejection and resistance of the entire social class, maybe the people from Jianan Pass would have been killed long ago.

"Listening to what you said, he is indeed a very valuable person, but why do you want to take huge risks and participate in the seizure of the heir?

In my opinion, the life of your Kuang family should be very good. They can even get tribute wine and are very well-informed about the court news. It can be seen that even if you are in a place of exile, it is not inferior to that in a prosperous place, right? "

Just like a country, there are places of prosperity and prosperity, but there are also places of poverty and backwardness.

However, in wealthy places, there are also poor people who do not have enough to eat, and beggars begging along the streets, while in poor and backward places, there are also rich people with extremely high quality of life and generous wealth.

Obviously, the Kuang family is the latter.

Meng Zhao believed that even in Jianan Pass, the Kuang family's life should be quite prosperous, maybe not as good as when they were at their peak, but not much worse.

Therefore, it was difficult for him to understand why the Kuang family would get involved in such a big pit so hastily.

The failure of the last struggle had already resulted in the entire clan being exiled. If they failed to participate in the fight for the heir again, the entire Kuang family would probably disappear.

This is by no means an alarmist statement by Meng Zhao, but a fact.
