After coming out of Dongchang, we walked on this long bluestone street. Because it is close to the government, there are not many houses around. Except for a few scattered government offices, the most distinctive Dongchang buildings are already far away from Liu Chengfeng.
Coming further and further.
At this time, noon has passed, and the weather is still a bit sultry, and the scorching sunshine makes it difficult to open your eyes. Liu Chengfeng seems to be a little tired, sitting lazily on the horse, letting a small flag do it for him
He was leading the horse, but his back was soaked by the scorching sun and was already wet.
On the other hand, the captains behind them were very happy. When they came to Dongchang, they were forced to come here. On the other hand, they were given enough money and rewards by Liu Chengfeng. Hundreds of households like this could not find them even with lanterns. Why?
Can you not risk your life? I thought that going to Dongchang this time would be a disaster, but unexpectedly, I didn't lose even a hair, and even showed off my power.
At this time, everyone in the Baihu household in Yanhua Hutong admired Liu Chengfeng completely. Who has ever seen such a senior Baihu? If it had been anyone else, most of them would have been unable to straighten their waists if they had met the eunuchs in the palace. Follow.
This Liu Baihu can straighten his waist a lot. It’s just that many people still don’t understand why Liu Baihu appeared in Dongchang and beat and killed the people in Dongchang, but why Dongchang can still swallow his anger
, and you still want to greet him with a smile? Even Eunuch Liu of Dongchang was punished, and no one came to speak for him. Who is a school lieutenant who is not a well-informed person? But the Taoism here is not at all
I can't figure it out. It's like singing an opera. After a scene, I still haven't thought about it.
The only one who could see through it was probably Secretary Wang. Seeing that Liu Chengfeng's face was gloomy due to the heat, Secretary Wang took a few steps forward on his horse and rode alongside Liu Chengfeng. He thought for a moment and said: "My lord.
, have we gone too far today?”
Liu Chengfeng hummed and said while grabbing the horse's mane: "What?"
Secretary Wang said: "Dongchang has lost such a big face, and sooner or later it will be avenged. Your Excellency belongs to a hundred households after all. Aren't you afraid of their revenge?"
Liu Chengfeng smiled, looked up at the sun, and quickly turned away his eyes, saying: "As a man and an official in the Ming Dynasty, have you ever seen anyone who can have both sides of the equation and last a long time?"
Liu Chengfeng's retort asked Wang Sili in doubt. Although the proverb said that people who have both sides can get along well and enjoy good life, but after thinking about it, Wang Sili also realized that something was wrong.
Liu Chengfeng said calmly: "When Emperor Taizu was here, the then Prime Minister Hu Weiyong was very easy to get along with. All the meritorious officials had a close relationship with him, and even the eunuchs in the palace had a close relationship with him. But in the end, he fell into disgrace.
How will it end? There are many people like this in our Ming Dynasty, but not many of them end well. Do you know why?"
Secretary Wang couldn't help but be stunned, faintly catching something.
Liu Chengfeng sighed and then said: "So when you are doing things, you must first have your own stand. This stand means that you have to think about which side you should stand on. When you stand on which side, don't be afraid of offending others. If you both
If you want to be a prostitute, you want to be an eunuch, and you want to get to know the cabinet and get close to the courtiers, this is a death plan. Just like this time, do you really think that it is just our Baihusuo and Dongchang that are causing trouble? You are wrong! This time
We represent His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness the Crown Prince has suffered at the hands of the eunuchs. As courtiers, shouldn’t we bring this situation back? And then there is the Jin Yiwei side. Our Commander Mou Bin Mou, do you really think that
Is he standing idly by? You are wrong again. There is nothing wrong with Commander Mou being a good man, and there is nothing wrong with the factory guards being members of the same family, but don’t forget that the factory guards and factory guards have been fighting each other since the founding of the ancestors. Why? Nothing else
, it’s just that the responsibilities of the Dongchang and the responsibilities of the health clinic overlap. A pancake, when there was no Dongchang, Jinyiwei ate alone. Later, when there was the Dongchang, it had to be divided between two people. Our Jinyiwei was really willing to share half of it.
?Even if Jinyiwei is willing to separate, wouldn’t Dongchang be able to push further?”
Liu Chengfeng paused for a moment and continued: "So over the years, although the factory guards have lived in peace, there has been a lot of filth among the factory guards. Our commander makes your Excellency aware of this truth, but he also knows
, if you want to take action against Dongchang, on the one hand, it is difficult for the cabinet to explain, and on the other hand, Dongchang is not easy to mess with. So he has become an honest person, and he always smiles when he meets everyone. He does this
It doesn't mean that he thinks so. Now that our hundreds of households have stood up to make trouble with Dongchang, the commander-in-chief can't ask for more. They can let us test the water. If we do well, they can wave the flag and cheer for us.
Let's be the sweethearts, and he'll be the peacemaker. Once something goes wrong on our side, he can get out without involving himself. You and I are actually still other people's pawns, but we are more active pawns. So.
The harder we bully Dongchang, the greater the feud between us and Dongchang will be, and the more our commander will rely on us."
Liu Chengfeng spoke a lot of truth slowly, and Secretary Wang finally understood that everything has two sides, just like being a human being, if someone loves you, someone will hate you, and if someone hates you, the more you gnash your teeth, there will be love.
The person you love till the end of time is nothing else, because Dongchang hates you, then Dongchang’s enemies will protect you. Only by protecting you can you watch Dongchang’s jokes, which will make Dongchang knock out his front teeth and swallow them in his stomach.
Liu Chengfeng only understood this truth after he had lived two lives and had a broader vision than others. After all, in later generations, although those hindsight historical conclusions were of no use in that era, but bringing them to this era,
But it has become a magic weapon that is invincible in a hundred battles.
"But..." Secretary Wang seemed to be an open-minded student at this time, and continued to ask: "But if the factory guards are making such a fuss, if the emperor knows about it, won't you be afraid of Long Yan's anger?"
Liu Chengfeng smiled, glanced at Secretary Wang with a pair of deep eyes, and said slowly: "The emperor today is a sage. Since he is a sage, I'm afraid it's too late to be happy if he knows this kind of thing. As an emperor, you are not afraid of fights between those below you.
I'm afraid that the next family will be related. Otherwise, why did the Ming Dynasty set up the Ministry of Affairs in the Six Ministries, and why did we set up the Imperial Envoy in the court, the Jinyi Guards outside the imperial court, and the Dongchang above the Jinyi Guards?
The middle is a stumbling block for the six subordinates, the imperial envoy is a stumbling block for the cabinet, the Jinyiwei is a stumbling block for the court, and Dongchang and Jinyiwei are a stumbling block for each other. Only in this way can the world be checked and balanced.
Blindfolded, plugged ears, blocked nose."
What Liu Chengfeng said was straightforward enough. Secretary Wang was a scholar after all. After listening to it and thinking about it again, he immediately understood. At first, he thought that Liu Baihu was going to Dongchang early this morning just out of anger.
Knowing that they had already thought about the countermeasures and even the reactions of the palace, the cabinet, and the commanders, how could this Liu Baihu be such a reckless idiot? He was simply a genius!
Secretary Wang's heart suddenly brightened, and he couldn't help but glance at Liu Chengfeng gratefully. Liu Baihu spoke so clearly. Didn't this show that he regarded himself as a confidant? Otherwise, how could he be willing to say such heart-wrenching words?
What did the disciple say? With this thought, Secretary Wang couldn't help but feel warmed up, and even his tone when he spoke to Liu Chengfeng became a little more relaxed, saying: "Then Liu Baihu said, since we are not eunuchs, we must be
If it’s not the Cabinet Party, then it should be the Guard Party?”
When Liu Chengfeng heard his conclusion, he didn't find it funny and said: "We are now half of the Weisuo Party..." Liu Chengfeng was silent for a moment and continued: "The other half, we are still preparing to **, in Hongzhi."
North Korea, if you want to be invincible, the only way is to be a **."
Secretary Wang couldn't help but smile. Liu Chengfeng's words gave him a clear understanding. The current emperor only has a bloodline like the prince. The status of His Highness the prince is the most secure in history. If the prince is secure, then his party members will naturally be secure.
Furthermore, Liu Baihu is still the teacher of His Highness the Crown Prince. With this relationship, even if he does not admit that he is a traitor, others may not be willing to believe him.
"**...**...I can't believe that after a trip to Dongchang, I, Wang, have become a prostitute." Secretary Wang was very happy and couldn't help but feel that he had a promising future.
Liu Chengfeng, however, looked like he couldn't bear the hot weather. At this time, he had turned around from the imperial road in front of the ** and passed a neighborhood. Because the weather was too hot, there were not many pedestrians on the road. Seeing so many Jin Yiwei appeared, he was also surprised.
They were too scared to stay and hurried over. Liu Chengfeng saw a wine flag waving in the distance, pointed forward and said: "Have a rest here, Lao Huo, you go to this wine shop first and tell them,
We have booked this wine shop, and we want some cold water, cakes, and good wine, so everyone can treat you to it."
Lao Huo was the best at this kind of dealings. Lao Huo quickly patted the donkey that sat down and said, "I'll go first."
The gangsters and lieutenants behind were both on foot. After the excitement had passed, their bodies were a little overwhelmed. Seeing the understanding of the adults of the hundred families, many people rushed to follow Lao Huo.
