Confucius once said: Power is a man's best coat.
The dignified prime minister of a country can kill as many as he wants.
The leader of a country also surrendered at the feet of his own man.
With such power, how could the three women not be upset?
Although the three women are not the kind of people who are greedy for power.
But after all, he is fifteen or sixteen years old, and he still yearns for heroes.
Now I heard that my man has done this.
If this is not a hero, then what is a hero?
As for the situation of the other country's leader and prime minister, it sounded a bit pitiful before.
But it can be imagined that they are seeking death themselves, coveting Goryeo, and trying to establish Wei Dynasty.
The key is that he once provoked his own man.
Then he definitely deserves to be hammered!
The three girls listened to Feng Yibo's story with great interest for a long time.
Finally, under Daiyu's reluctant eyes, he left Lin Mansion with Baochai and Miaoyu.
As soon as he arrived at Feng Mansion, his disciple handed him a post.
"Uncle, look at this."
Feng Mansion has received countless posts these days, and Feng Yibo doesn't even bother to read them.
The disciples had already accepted the order, and all the visitors refused.
But today’s post is obviously different.
Feng Yibo took it and took a look. The content of the post was very concise:
My dear brother returned to the court in victory, and today I will take the wind and wash away the dust.
Shen Shi is waiting for you at the old place. See you there.
Signed: Brother, Liu Zheng.
Feng Yibo raised his head and looked at the sky. It was almost the end of the day.
He immediately said hello to Baochai.
Without any hesitation, he immediately asked someone to turn the car around.
As soon as he entered the lobby of Zhuangyuan Building, Liu Zheng greeted him.
As if he had been looking forward to it for a long time, and as if he had put down something on his mind, he cupped his hands and said:
"Yibo, you are here!"
Feng Yibo returned the courtesy and said with a smile:
"Brother Haoran, long time no see."
Liu Zheng greeted him while greeting him:
"After half a year of separation, you have gained new skills. I am really envious of my brother."
"It's just a fluke."
Feng Yibo said modestly as usual.
As he climbed the steps, he asked casually:
"By the way, has Brother Xinmin arrived?"
Liu Zheng paused suddenly when he heard this, and seemed to be a little embarrassed.
He forced a smile, took Feng Yibo's arm again, and said:
"He hasn't arrived yet, let's go up first and talk about other things."
Feng Yibo was a little surprised, but he was not in a hurry to ask.
After following Liu Zheng up to the second floor, they arrived outside Tianzi No. 1 private room.
Only then did he look enlightened, with a "You're too polite" look, and said with a smile:
"Haha! Brother Haoran, did I just say that something is wrong with you today?"
When Feng Yibo said this, Liu Zheng's whole body tensed up.
"Gulu! What's wrong? I...what...is there something wrong with me?"
Seeing that Liu Zheng, who had always been open-minded, was so nervous that he swallowed his saliva.
Even his speech was stuttering.
Feng Yibo became more convinced of his conjecture,
He patted Liu Zheng on the shoulder with an "I understand" expression and said with a smile:
"You can take care of me, and you don't have to make such a big fuss, right?"
On weekdays, the three of them gather in a small private room.
Today, Liu Zhengding's room is the best and largest private room in Zhuangyuan Building.
This naturally made Feng Yibo have some guesses.
But when Liu Zheng heard this, he seemed even more nervous.
"I……"
Seeing him hesitating, Feng Yibo felt funny.
This Liu Zheng is too much of a gentleman.
If Yang Mingxin came to pick him up, he would definitely not see any flaws.
He smiled and shook his head, confidently saying:
"If I'm not wrong, Brother Xinmin is already inside, right? I just don't know what else is surprising..."
As he spoke, he pushed open the door of the private room.
As expected, there were already people in the Tianzi No. 1 box.
However, when he saw this person, Feng Yibo was stunned.
Not only did he not finish his words, but his smile also froze on his face.
Because the person in the private room was not Yang Mingxin at all.
But the chief minister of the cabinet, Zhang Songyue!
"The teacher personally came to help me clean up the dust. The students are so scared!"
Feng Yibo came to his senses, saluted quickly, and said with a wry smile:
"Brother Haoran, I haven't seen you for half a year. You have changed a lot, haven't you?"
At this time, Liu Zheng's nervousness had turned into shame.
Hearing this, his face turned red, and he smiled bitterly and wanted to explain:
"Yibo, I..."
"No need to explain, he didn't blame you."
As soon as Liu Zheng opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Zhang Songyue.
Zhang Songyue shook his head at him, indicating that he should be patient.
He looked at Feng Yibo again and said with a smile:
"He's blaming me for teaching you bad things."
In the past few days, Feng Yibo has declined all invitations.
Today, I was invited by Liu Zheng through a post.
Unexpectedly, he was tricked into meeting Zhang Songyue.
But as Zhang Songyue said, Feng Yibo did not mean to blame Liu Zheng.
Because he knew what Liu Zheng was like.
Liu Zheng is a humble gentleman, there must be a reason why he would lie to him.
And at the moment when I saw Zhang Songyue, this reason should naturally be on him.
"well!"
Feng Yibo sighed, and while walking into the private room, he said unceremoniously:
"Since the teacher understands, isn't it good to preserve Brother Haoran's integrity?"
He regarded both Liu Zheng and Yang Mingxin as close friends.
Last time, he struggled over and over with Zhen Yingjia, but he still couldn't get Yang Mingxin to do it.
It's because Feng Yibo doesn't want any impurities in their friendship.
But today, this old guy actually used Liu Zheng to trick him over.
Feng Yibo was already a little angry at this time.
No one dislikes a gentleman, and Liu Zheng is such a gentleman.
He highly respected and trusted Liu Zheng as a person.
I never thought that such a good character would be stained by this old guy.
Liu Zheng heard that his tone was not kind, and he felt even more ashamed.
"Yibo, I also want to do something for the country. Sometimes..."
"One time for you and one time for me, we can be considered even."
With Zhang Songyue's city, one can naturally hear Feng Yibo's anger.
He interrupted Liu Zheng again and said to Feng Yibo with a smile:
"Haoran once begged for you in front of me."
The meaning of this statement is obviously that Liu Zhengwei and the two of them have made an exception once.
Our eldest brother, let alone the second child, is not yet known who pulled Liu Zheng into the trap.
When Feng Yibo heard Liu Zheng pleading for him, he was stunned and frowned:
"If I had known, I wouldn't have let him do this."
He would not doubt whether Zhang Songyue's words were true or false.
There is no need for the other party to deceive him on this.
The relationship between Liu Zheng and Zhang Songyue was well known to everyone in the civil and military dynasties.
But Feng Yibo never asked Liu Zheng for help.
I just don’t want to embarrass this friend for the sake of convenience.
I don't want him to be trapped by favors, and I don't want there to be a relationship of interest between them.
When Zhang Song saw that Feng Yibo had relaxed a little, he smiled again and said:
"Of course, I didn't know before, but now I know that you have the confidence to handle it, and there is no need for others to intervene."
If he wants to talk about business, he must first ease the relationship.
Feng Yibo cannot be allowed to be emotional.
Therefore, Zhang Songyue took the initiative to try to resolve the knot between the two of them.
But in fact, this is also taking advantage of the friendship between Liu Zheng and Feng Yibo.
When Feng Yibo heard this, he sighed again, seeming to blame himself and said:
"I didn't expect that Brother Haoran would be dragged into the water because of me."
In fact, I heard Liu Zheng begging for mercy for himself.
He felt a little relieved and a little guilty in his heart.
Fortunately, Liu was secretly helping him.
What I feel guilty is that I have let him be trapped by favor after all.
"If you want to become a talented person, you must have this experience sooner or later."
Obviously, Zhang Songyue did not take advantage of Liu Zheng.
He even saw it as part of helping him grow.
He nodded towards Liu Zheng and ordered:
"You go down first, Yibo and I need to have a good talk."
Liu Zheng looked ashamed and was about to go out, but Feng Yibo suddenly said:
"Teacher, why don't you let Brother Haoran also attend?"
"oh?"
Both of them were startled, Zhang Songyue smiled and said:
"Are you going to teach him a lesson?"
He thought that Feng Yibo had the same idea as him, and wanted Liu Zheng to see the reality clearly.
But Feng Yibo shook his head when he heard this and said seriously:
"No, I just want him to understand how rare it is for him to be innocent."
He blames himself. He obviously still has a grudge against Zhang Songyue for taking advantage of their relationship.
It was a bit unclear what he said, but it was obvious that he still had this emotion.
Zhang Songyue felt the injustice and frowned immediately.
Then he stretched his brows, nodded with a smile and said:
"the same."
In his opinion, it doesn't matter whether he is honest or a gentleman.
It’s the edges and corners of a person.
If it is not smoothed, it will be difficult to use.
Feng Yibo wanted Liu Zheng, his proud disciple, to participate.
It was obviously saved to let him understand that the two of them were talking about interests.
Let him understand that he is being used.
Zhang Songyue naturally doesn't care about this, and it wouldn't be a bad thing to let his disciples recognize the reality as soon as possible.
When Feng Yibo heard his answer, he didn't bother with him anymore, but said directly:
"The teacher called me here today just to talk about compensation, right?"
"So be it."
Even if there was no one else, Zhang Songyue's answer was still ambiguous.
When Feng Yibo heard this, he nodded first, and then sneered:
"But the teacher can actually understand that I have to do this as a last resort."
What he meant was that it had to be divided between Wei and Liaodong.
But according to the ears of Zhang Songyue and his apprentice, they had to divide it between Donghai County and Liaodong.
"I know."
Zhang Songyue nodded and said with a smile:
"Speaking of it, we are also masters and disciples. We might as well be more casual in private. Even if we say something wrong, it doesn't matter."
He is Feng Yibo's master, and indeed he can be regarded as a master and apprentice.
However, Zhang Songyue thought that Feng Yibo was going to discuss the division of interests.
So what he meant at this time was to let the other party speak his true thoughts boldly and confidently.
Even if it doesn't go to his liking in the end, he can still feel the other person's bottom first.
"Since the teacher said so, it's hard for students to refuse."
Feng Yibo responded with a sneer, but did not say what Zhang Songyue wanted.
Instead, she followed his words and started talking casually.
"Teachers should know that no one will want to do anything that is not beneficial in the future."
"This is natural, the world is prosperous..."
Zhang Songyue nodded at first when he heard the words, but suddenly his face froze.
"etc!"
He stopped his smile and said seriously:
"What do you mean by this? Do you want to start this trend?"
With his city, he reacted immediately.
The meaning of these words is not the division of interests, but the meaning behind the words!
The key word is the word "later".
Does this mean that there will be similar terms of negotiation "in the future"?
Feng Yibo saw that he understood the meaning of the words and did not deny it.
He showed a faint smile and asked:
"The world is so big. As a teacher, I should know a lot about it. Why can't I look out more?"
This is already a disguised admission.
When Zhang Songyue heard this, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and the joy and anger in his eyes could not be seen.
But just by looking at the wrinkles on his face, you can get a glimpse of his mood swings.
"I originally thought that you just wanted to say that without the division of interests, there would be no way to reach an alliance, and there would be no way to sign such a peace clause."
He thought that was what Feng Yibo was going to say.
Without leaving sufficient benefits to those two parties, the terms of the peace negotiation will lose support.
Therefore, what he was planning to talk about today was also the question of how much to leave for the other party.
But now, Feng Yibo is obviously not talking about this.
"Without interests, there is no driving force."
Feng Yibo answered the question incorrectly, but Zhang Songyue understood it.
He frowned incomprehensibly and said in disbelief:
"Aren't you afraid of putting the Wei Dynasty in danger by doing this?"
When Feng Yibo heard this, he sneered and asked:
"Tsk! Why isn't it someone else's crisis?"
"Hush!"
When Zhang Songyue heard the words, he let out a breath of turbid air.
He leaned forward slightly and said seriously:
"Yibo, governing the country is not as simple as you think, and the most important thing is stability."
Although he is a member of the New Party, his views on governing the country are extremely conservative.
To put it bluntly, it is still the "three cardinal principles and five constant principles" advocated by Cheng and Zhu.
Most of the energy is focused on maintaining internal stability.
When Feng Yibo heard this, he asked a heart-wrenching question with a smile but not a smile:
“How dare you call yourself a new party without any pioneering spirit of reform?”
As the topic became more and more outrageous, Zhang Songyue became calmer and calmer. At this time, he only said:
“The new is replacing the old.”
"And after that?"
Feng Yibo first asked rhetorically, and then said with a smile:
"Are you going to stand still and become the old one again and be replaced by others?"
Zhang Songyue heard this and said with a hint of disdain:
"Just because of what you have done, is it worthy?"
Obviously, Feng Yibo is not qualified to say this now.
Although he has reached the rank of minister, he is still far from the true core.
But when Feng Yibo heard this, he leaned forward and said with a smile:
"Teacher, you are getting older. I am now a third-level official. I am nothing in front of you. But even if I don't move for twenty years, I am not afraid."
I am only twenty years old. If I wait another twenty years, I will only be forty years old.
And you, can you still hold on for twenty years?
Such words are rogue, but also very realistic.
Zhang Songyue was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and seemed to have no choice but to sigh:
"It won't take twenty years. As long as your teacher's position changes, you can take another step forward."
Although Feng Yibo is young, his achievements are real.
Once Li Shouzhong entered the cabinet, the position of Minister of Rites became vacant.
If there are no other changes, Feng Yibo is very likely to go further.
But after finishing speaking, Zhang Songyue showed a cruel smile and said domineeringly:
"But no matter what, it's not your turn now."
The implication is that as long as he is still the chief minister of the cabinet.
Feng Yibo could only stay in the position of right minister of the Ministry of Rites.
Hearing the threat, Feng Yibo didn't care.
He smiled first, and then looked at Liu Zheng aside.
"Then how about adding Brother Haoran?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Songyue's expression changed.
