"There are only pious mothers in the world who can use their mouths to stir up a lot of people." [Yu Shi Ming Yan]
Although Dong Cheng sent his daughter to the palace as he wished, he has not yet been appointed as a queen.
This matter has been unresolved for a long time, which made Dong Cheng anxious. He mistakenly thought that the emperor had broken his promise and was trying to kill the donkey. Therefore, he deliberately argued forcefully with others in the court about the successor, and also spread rumors in private, intending to bring this matter to an end.
The matter was linked to the emperor's credibility and reputation, forcing him to submit.
This is something Yang Feng has known for a long time. When Dong Cheng wanted to do this, he, Fan Chou and others all agreed in order to make Dong Cheng a general as soon as possible. Looking at the appearance of Qing Niu Jiao now, it seems that he is not optimistic about Dong Cheng.
practice?
"The ministers in the court were neither blind nor deaf, and they were all very scheming. How could they not know what Dong Cheng was planning. The reason why they didn't say a word was because they were all waiting to see Dong Cheng's misfortune." Qing Qing
Niujiao said solemnly.
Yang Feng didn't understand the twists and turns, so he followed the other person's words and asked: "Why is this?"
Qing Niujiao said in an experienced tone: "You have only been involved in the imperial court for a few days, and you don't understand the country's temper at all. Even Wang Yun couldn't make the country submit. How can Dong Cheng succeed with this little trick? I think
Now the country is probably holding back, or wants to give Dong Cheng a chance to stop, otherwise, not only will he not get the position of queen, but he may not even be able to save his life."
Yang Feng was frightened by the other party's serious look: "Well, this shouldn't be the case, right? I've only been waiting for a few days to receive the pardon, and the court is going to take action on me?"
"Dong Cheng is a foreign relative of the country, so he will be fine." Qing Niujiao glanced sideways at Yang Feng. Seeing that he was relieved, he immediately mocked, "But you can't escape a beating. If the country intends to beat him,
Dong Cheng will definitely start from Dong Cheng’s wings. General, what do you say?
Qing Niujiao gave it away and asked, knowingly: "Who among Dong Cheng's men are his cronies?"
Yang Feng has completely surrendered to Qingniujiao and will no longer be complacent because he is a general and the other is a pariah. He answered honestly: "There are General Fan Chou, General Yangwei, General Wang Fang, General Zhonglang, me, and other original officials.
They belonged to Li Jue, Guo Si, and later some of the captains who joined them, such as Song Ye and Yang Ang."
"Then," Qing Niujiao asked again: "In terms of closeness and distance of relationship, depth of friendship, what about you?"
"Of course General Fan is closer to him! As for the others, they are almost the same..." Halfway through, Yang Feng suddenly realized that he really couldn't be regarded as Dong Cheng's confidant.
According to Niu Jiao, if the emperor did not really want to put Dong Cheng to death, he would not deliberately target Dong Cheng's cronies, but would instead deal with the collateral dependents of Dong Cheng.
This will not only serve as a warning and a warning, but will not make Dong Cheng red-eyed or arouse too much resistance.
If Dong Cheng was given a choice, would he be willing to give in for the time being and let the emperor knock off a collateral lineage that was not close to him, or would he be willing to fight to the death with the emperor for this collateral lineage?
This is an obvious question.
Yang Feng stood up from the table, walked to the green ox horn, bowed his head, and said with a bitter face: "I was just rude and I offended you, sir. Please forgive me."
Then he said: "I think Sir is not just here to say these words. If you have a good plan, I hope you can teach me and don't make any detours."
Seeing that the other party was acting like this, Qing Niujiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He stretched out his hand to help Yang Feng up as if nothing had happened, and said: "You are now the general of Xingyi Zhonglang, haven't you ever thought of taking a step further?"
Yang Feng wondered: "I am unable to protect myself now, so how can I talk about going further?"
"This is not difficult. You only need to introduce me to Dong Cheng, and I will do everything from now on. Not only will I keep you safe, but I will also give you a bright future." Qing Niujiao said confidently.
The purpose of this trip.
After hearing this, Yang Feng said with half belief and doubt: "I know very well about Sir's intelligence. But Dong Cheng doesn't know. What if he doesn't want to see Sir?"
Qing Niujiao said firmly: "He has exhausted his skills. For example, if a person who is seriously ill and about to die has a good way to prolong his life, there will be no reason not to accept it."
Yang Feng thought of Qingniujiao's strategy when he wandered around Baibo and Black Mountain, and couldn't help but be convinced by him. Maybe this person could really solve this crisis for Dong Cheng and him, and turn danger into good fortune, allowing him to use this opportunity to solve the crisis for him.
Dong Cheng paid more attention to it.
But after believing, Yang Feng still had a trace of doubt in his heart. As the direct descendant of the great virtuous master, Qingniujiao also possesses the yellow silk of "Zhonghuang Taiyi". Whether it is Black Mountain or Baibo, where in the world can he not go?
Why did you choose to stay in Chang'an, commit yourself to him, and advise him?
Qing Niujiao seemed to have read Yang Feng's thoughts and laughed. There will be places where Yang Feng will be useful in the future. Instead of making him suspicious and on guard day and night, it would be better to be honest and honest and get what everyone needs.
Under Yang Feng's inquiring eyes, Qing Niujiao considered for a moment and said: "Providing Dong Cheng with advice is just the first step. I not only want to help the general gain a foothold with Dong Cheng, but also use Dong Cheng's power to realize the Tao of Peace.
The ideal of giving to the world."
Yang Feng has always maintained a respectful attitude toward the illusory "Zhonghuang Taiyi". Although he was disdainful in his heart, he said sincerely on his face: "Then I wish you sir that your wish will come true."
So Yang Feng led the way and took Qingniujiao to the residence of Sili school captain Dong Cheng.
Although Dong Cheng came from a rough background, he had been fighting hard on the battlefield for several years. Once he was worshiped, his score was very impressive. The chief of the pavilion went in to deliver the report. It took about a quarter of an hour. Just when Yang Feng could no longer wait, Dong Cheng finally
Send someone to lead you inside.
The two of them entered the front hall and saw Dong Chengshi walking out of the back. He showed great momentum and said, "General Zhonglang will not be training his troops outside the city. What do you have to do with coming to my house?"
Before Yang Feng could speak, Qing Niujiao took a step forward and said calmly: "You don't know that Captain Sili is about to face a great disaster?"
Yang Feng was frightened by Qingniujiao's directness, and before he could remedy the situation, Dong Cheng was already furious.
"Where did you come from, rat, dare to talk nonsense here!" Dong Cheng scolded: "Are you looking for death!"
"General, wait a minute, wait a minute!" Yang Feng quickly stopped him and said, "This is the counselor I specially invited for the general."
"Counselor?" Dong Cheng sneered: "What other counselor will you find for me? Which counselor will say nasty words as soon as he comes?"
Qing Niujiao still stood there and said without fear: "I just want to tell the truth. You are spreading rumors in the city with the intention of forcing the country to obey. If you behave badly, you will be in trouble soon! I really thought this matter could be solved.
Can you hide it from the country and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty? You are looking down on people!"
Dong Cheng had never been treated with such disrespect. His face flushed red, his eyebrows suddenly raised, his hand on his sword, and he glared at the green horns.
He intended to draw his sword and kill this officer immediately, but luckily he still had a trace of calmness. Seeing the other party's calm and unhurried appearance, Dong Cheng resisted his anger and listened to what he had to say: "Although I am unbearable, I am also the Sili Colonel who was worshiped by the imperial court.
, you are just a humble person, but you don’t know what you have learned!”
Having said that, Dong Cheng glanced at Yang Feng coldly, as if he wanted to deal with Yang Feng if he had any disagreement.
