Chapter 773 Feng Quji is not stupid, he takes the initiative to express his position!
It was amazing that Gongzi Gao could see this so clearly. Gao Yao's evaluation of Gongzi Gao also slightly increased, but this did not mean that he would agree to such a thing. After all, sending the person out first not only had security risks, but more importantly, if Gongzi Gao committed suicide again, all the preparations made before would be wasted. Even if there was only a one percent chance of this happening, Gao Yao would never risk agreeing.
"King Qin, I understand your concerns. Regarding this matter, I will give special instructions to the relevant personnel to ensure that everything goes well. You just need to focus on your own affairs. This is not something that can be discussed, and it is getting late, so I will take my leave." Gao Yao raised his hand and simply saluted as he spoke, then turned around and left the King Qin's Mansion without hesitation.
Gongzi Gao listened to Gao Yao's words, and although he was filled with reluctance and helplessness, he had no choice. After all, Gao Yao was the one who held the initiative, and whether to agree or not depended entirely on Gao Yao's decision, and he had no choice at all.
As for Gao Yao, after leaving Young Master Gao, he did not delay at all and rushed straight to Feng Quji without stopping.
The reason why Gao Yao came to find Feng Quji was actually very simple, and it could even be said to be a warning. Although Feng Quji's situation was somewhat special, Gao Yao had already taken preventive measures against him. And the method of this preventive measure was also quite direct, that is, to control all of Feng Quji's family members in his hands.
This is why Gao Yao has been more and more relaxed about the contact between Feng Quji and Gongzi Gao over the years. Feng Quji is not alone, he also has his own family. And these family members were brought to the southern border by Gao Yao many years ago.
In the southern border, Feng Quji could be said to have had a son in his old age. Now, his entire family was under Gao Yao's control, and this was a real situation of bringing his entire family with him.
Faced with such a situation, Feng Quji naturally did not dare to slack off. Not only did he work harder, he also did not dare to neglect Gongzi Gao. After all, he did not want to endure the tragic end of his clan being exterminated at this age.
It was not that Feng Quji was a coward, timid and incompetent person, but because Gongzi Gao was a hopeless case, a pile of mud that could not be helped. Feng Quji could not see any hope or bright future for Gongzi Gao.
In this case, he would naturally gradually lose confidence in Gongzi Gao, and slowly give up his support and efforts for him.
Therefore, Feng Quji began to shift all his energy to work hard for Gao Yao, and he did not dare to slack off or relax at all. You know, other people followed Gao Yao because they admired his talent and ability, and some even came here specifically to join Gao Yao. However, Feng Quji's situation was completely different from them. The reason he came here was entirely for Master Gao.
Because of this, Feng Quji was never able to truly integrate into Gao Yao's core circle and was always marginalized. And what about Gongzi Gao? Not only did he always behave mediocrely and make no achievements, but after being frightened by Gao Yao several times, he became timid and cowardly, and completely obedient.
In this way, even for the sake of his family, Feng Quji could only obey Gao Yao's orders and work for him honestly. After all, whether Gao Yao would settle accounts with him later or cause trouble for him, he might not have to consider it for the time being; however, if Gao Yao took his anger out on his family, that would be another matter.
This is very different from the situation of Wang Ben and his son. Even if the so-called history really exists, Wang Ben and his son must be the last strong and tough backbone of the Qin Dynasty.
But Feng Quji was not like that. Death itself was not terrible. Feng Quji had even imagined the end of his entire family dying together, and he did not completely accept it. However, the premise of death must be to die in a worthy way and ensure that his reputation was not damaged. This was the most basic requirement.
However, if he blindly followed Prince Gao and died, not only would he lose his reputation, but his family would also die. Feng Quji wanted to be a loyal minister, but that didn't mean he was really stupid. He would not be able to gain the reputation of a loyal minister, but would have his whole family buried with him. Feng Quji would never do such a thing.
As for Gao Yao, who had received a guarantee from Feng Quji, he would not be too harsh on Feng Quji. After all, as long as Feng Quji stopped thinking about being buried with Master Gao, Gao Yao still valued the relationship. After all, Feng Quji had contributed a lot to the Southern Territory, and Gao Yao recognized this.
Of course, if Feng Quji's work ability is measured among the prime ministers throughout history, he is definitely not the most capable one. However, his ability can still be considered average, and he is barely qualified for the position of prime minister.
Moreover, they arrived in the southern border relatively early, which provided Gao Yao with more time and opportunities to handle various affairs. Especially when Xiao He was busy with two positions, Feng Quji gave him great support and help.
Although Feng Quji's ability was not outstanding, he had served as prime minister for many years and had accumulated rich experience. In contrast, although Xiao He was talented, his highest official position before following Gao Yao was only a minor official in Pei County. This gap in experience could not be easily made up.
However, it was precisely because of predecessors like Feng Quji that Xiao He, Cao Shen and others were able to learn many valuable ways and methods from him. After all, being capable and having experience are two different things, especially when faced with the complex situation of various government orders being issued, how to find the optimal solution based on balancing the interests of all parties involves many subtle strategies and techniques.
Through getting along with and learning from Feng Quji, Xiao He, Cao Shen and others gradually mastered these essentials and had a deeper understanding and grasp of handling government affairs. Therefore, in essence, Feng Quji's help to Gao Yao was substantial and could not be ignored.
Now that Feng Quji is willing to cooperate, Gao Yao will naturally not take any drastic measures, but give him a chance, and accept Feng Quji in disguise. After Master Gao is gone, if Feng Quji is still willing to work hard, Gao Yao will not mind giving the Feng family more opportunities and letting the Feng family have some say in the court.
