Chapter 439 - Loopholes



Compared with Wu Zhenger's main speech, Jinmao's control over these details is far worse.

If Wu Zheng hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't know when he would have remembered it!

It’s not that he couldn’t think of it, it’s just that he didn’t think of it quickly enough.

Moreover, he is good at thinking about the big picture, not about these details.

These aspects are Wu Zheng's areas of expertise.

In fact, Jinmao and Wu Zheng are really complementary.

Moreover, their former lord, Gu Yan's father, was very wise and decisive, and he knew how to select and appoint people to the right positions!

The three of them complement each other perfectly and are the iron triangle most favored by the old lord!

It is the core of the future territory!

If Father Gu were still alive, he would be able to coordinate the overall situation and would not make such a simple mistake, leaving such a big loophole for Jiang Jie and his group.

But, alas…

Everything is fate!

"Brother Wu, thank you! If you hadn't warned me in time, I'm afraid there would have been a big problem. Fang Yuan and Ruan Qi are fine, but Xiaochen, this kid, is so naive that he was tricked into telling them a lot of things. Fortunately, I returned in time and explained the seriousness of the matter to them. Xiaochen will not contact Jiang Jie and the others again and leak information!"

Wu Zheng consoled him, "The information Xiaochen leaked isn't actually that important! As long as you dig hard, you can find out in a few days. Don't punish Xiaochen too harshly for this. It was an unintentional mistake!"

"I know it was an unintentional mistake, which is why I'm even angrier! Sigh—I used to train Jin Ting as my heir, and I felt a bit guilty about Jin Chen, so I indulged him and didn't discipline him, which led to Jin Chen's current personality and temper! Now that it's set in stone, it's hard to change."

"Xiaochen is not stupid, he just hasn't experienced enough. If he experiences more, he will be fine. Jinchen will become a successful person."

"Don't worry about him. Do you think it's okay for us to do this? Is there any problem?" Jin Mao asked worriedly.

"Among the four of them. I'm not worried about Zheng Yuan, he's always under my control. I'm not worried about Jin Chen either! After all, he's your legitimate son. Although he might be a little rebellious and distant, he has a good nature, is honest and filial, and will never betray you!"

Seeing Jin Mao nod in agreement and listening carefully to his analysis, Wu Zhengcai continued, "However, Fang Yuan and Ruan Qi are a little more difficult to determine. Fang Yuan and Ruan Qi's relationship with us is based on Jin Chen, and Jin Chen is based on the system. If Jiang Jie and the others also use the system as a bond to make Fang Yuan and Ruan Qi change their hearts and support them, I am afraid that our parliament will be infiltrated and even controlled by them. If that happens, all your hard work will be in vain, and you will be making wedding clothes for others."

After hearing this, Jin Mao didn't rush or answer immediately. Instead, he pondered for a long time before saying, "Controlling people's hearts is indeed my weakness. However, I treat people with sincerity, and they will definitely treat me with sincerity. Besides, Fang Yuan and Ruan Qi are both family-oriented people, and they don't have too many ambitions for power. They are living well now, and everyone in the territory is living well. There is no need for them to ruin their current peaceful lives for Jiang Jie's ambitions. I will have a special talk with Fang Yuan and Ruan Qi separately. They will be fine."

Since Jin Mao had said this, Wu Zheng stopped talking about Fang Yuan and Ruan Qi and began to speculate about Jiang Jie's purpose in coming here.

"Jiang Jie and his men must have a purpose for coming here. However, because our territory has undergone such drastic changes, they are cautious in speaking. Instead, they are gathering intelligence first and then making a decision. It is not ruled out that in order to maximize their benefits, they will choose to overthrow your rule, control the parliament, and control the entire territory."

"In other words, no matter what Jiang Jie's original purpose was, it doesn't matter now. He saw the loophole and wants to gain power, which is his most important thing now!"

"Huh?! We must first find a way to maintain our power before we are qualified to negotiate with him. If we can't even maintain our power, and he lets him take power, then there will naturally be no need to negotiate with us."

"Apart from Fang Yuan and Ruan Qi, are there any other loopholes? For example, some great nobles. Today's nobles put their families first, value personal gain over justice. I am very worried that some families will lose sight of the overall situation and sell out the interests of their territory for the petty profits promised by Jiang Jie." Jin Mao said worriedly.

Wu Zheng smiled and said, "The nobles in our territory have no power, so they are not to be feared. Even if they defect to Jiang Shijie, they are only providing him with some information that everyone knows. They are also not to be feared."

Jin Mao suddenly said seriously, "What if there is a powerful noble?"

"A powerful noble? Who is that?" Wu Zheng was stunned, then quickly realized, "Isn't that me?"

"Yes, I have two war lieutenants under my command, making me the second most powerful force in the territory after Jinmao. If I switch sides, Jinmao will be in a very passive position. It turns out that I am the biggest loophole in the territory!"

After Wu Zheng figured it out, he immediately said solemnly, "Don't worry. Powerful nobles are even more loyal to their territories! They wouldn't betray the territory that gave them life. They wouldn't even think about it."

Jin Mao was relieved after hearing this and said with a smile, "Yeah, I see. Brother Wu, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I really don't know how I would have coped!"

"Helping you is helping myself. Brother Jin, you're too polite."

Jin Mao had been gone for a long time, but Wu Zheng still sat in the same seat.

Wu Hong approached and asked, "Brother, it's getting late. We should go back and rest."

Wu Zheng came back to his senses and sighed, "Jin Mao is truly terrifying! I thought he and I were here to discuss how to stabilize those Tiandao mercenaries, but I didn't expect that the person he wanted to stabilize was me!"

"Just now, I actually deduced the consequences of joining Jiang Jie. None of them were as good as they are now."

"Jinmao can accommodate me, but others may not!"

"Jin Mao should also understand this. So, he directly reminded me, made me understand my position, and prevented me from being caught off guard by Jiang Jie's solicitation. This would cause my mentality to become unbalanced and become my biggest vulnerability."

"Jin Mao is really good at plotting big things!"

"He grasped the key points very accurately!"

"I finally understand. I've been trapped by him for a long time."

"I've always been under his control!"

“That’s amazing!”

“I have to admire it!”

Although he knew that he was trapped by Jinmao, he did not have much resistance.

Compared with the past when one had to recognize a leader, become a follower, and have one person control one's success or failure, it is much better now.
