I’m The King Chapter 292: :Inside
The first impression Ning Zecheng gave Gao Yuan was that he was approachable. Gao Yuan had no chance to get in touch with him in the court, but at this moment, Ning Zecheng's attitude was totally different from his status. different.
It is said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. Ye Tiannan, the three most important ministers of the Yan Kingdom, is so profound that it makes people wonder. I'm a little surprised, if someone says that Ning Zecheng's mind is as clear as his eyes, he will not believe it if he is killed. Ning Zecheng, who controls the secret service agency of Yan State and is also one of the three ministers, if His mind is as clear as his eyes, I am afraid that he has died in countless political battles, and there is not even a scum left.
Then there is only one left, the traitor is like loyalty, and the evil is like good.
This conclusion shocked Gao Yuan.
But no matter what, no matter what Ning Zecheng was thinking, this person did help him some time ago. As for General Zhengdong, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with him. Why did he do this? , Gao Yuan didn't think of it for a while, but for himself, this gave him a higher platform. The general who conquered the east, opened the government and built the government, and from then on he could completely get rid of the constraints of Zhang Shouyue and be able to be independent It's cheap.
Until now, Ning Zecheng still feels like a spring breeze to him. Judging from his appearance, Ning Zecheng really deserves the word "graceful", like Ye Xiangnan, a young man who is proud of his youth and is immediately driven into the bottom of his life , fled for ten years, worked hard, looked much older and older than his actual age, and because of Zhou Yuan's long career as a warrior, his appearance was extremely rough, and his every move revealed his identity as a warrior. Ning Zecheng, although over forty, still has a face like a crown of jade, and his gestures make people feel heartbroken.
Judging people by their appearance will really kill people. Gao Yuan said to himself quietly in his heart, since the beginning of entering the door, this Master Ning has at least made one nonsense to him.
Ning Zecheng praised the achievements of Gao Yuan, Tan Feng and others without saying a word, and used it to laugh at himself that a literati like him, who has no power to restrain a chicken, will never be able to see the gallop on the battlefield. Intense.
But Gao Yuan knew that he was lying. Mr. Ning might never go to the battlefield, but he was by no means a powerless person. There was a brief opportunity to clasp his hands outside the door, and Gao Yuan felt it accurately and clearly. The calluses on this lord's palm, even if this lord repairs it every day, it is still not enough for Gao Yuan. Feeling the untended strength in the soft palm, Gao Yuan understands that this lord Maybe he will never have the chance to fight with others, but he is definitely a good player.
Aristocratic children in this era are basically both civil and military. Dismounted can rule the country, and mounted can lead the army. On this point, Gao Yuan has to admit that among the noble children he has seen, he really has not seen it. A useless waste. Jiang Xinliang is like this, Tan Feng is like this, so why not even Zhang Junbao and Zhang Shubao?
While talking and joking, we arrived at the small hall where Ning Zecheng entertained guests. The guests and hosts sat down separately. The three people present, a royal doctor and two generals, were all important ministers of the Yan Kingdom. The ground returned to the current situation.
"Gao Yuan, you didn't expect General Zhengdong to fall into your house this time, did you?" Looking at Gao Yuan, Ning Zecheng smiled.
"I was about to thank Mr. Ning, but Gao Yuan really didn't expect it. Although he didn't know for sure, it must be Mr. Ning's great efforts." It really helps a lot.”
Tan Feng laughed loudly, "Still thinking about riding a tall horse and carrying eight big sedan chairs to Ye Mansion to **** Ye Jing'er? It's still the same sentence, if you dare to go, I will accompany you."
Gao Yuan smiled, "It's natural to think about it, but it doesn't seem realistic now. If I go like this, I will probably be beaten out with a stick. Uneasy."
Ning Zecheng smiled slightly, "If Gao Yuan, you come to the door now, I can guarantee that you will not be greeted by a stick, but by Ye Tiannan's bright smiling face. In the past, he really didn't want to see you, but this time and that time, now , but he is eager for you to visit his old father-in-law!"
Gao Yuan's face froze slightly, "I'm afraid this is unlikely?"
"Why is that impossible?" Tan Feng said: "In the past, you were just a small county captain, which was of no help to him, but what are you now, you are General Zhengdong, if you only have a false name Yes, but now you have thousands of powerful people under your command, this is a timely help for Ye Xiang.”
Gao Yuan was silent. A moment ago, he looked at each other as if he was hostile, and in a blink of an eye, he let go of his previous suspicions and talked and laughed. Is this a so-called politician? It seems that his skin is not thick enough!
"Ye Xiang has been in exile for ten years. Once he came to power, he was favored by the king and supported by many nobles. Langya County was also returned to Ye Xiang. Mrs. Ye, there is a fatal problem inside, and that is the army." Ning Zecheng looked at Gao Yuan and said: "A prime minister without strength is just a rootless duckweed, which may be blown away by the rain and the wind at any time. But the army is something you don’t want to have. This is why Ye Xiang tried to prevent your marriage with Ye Jing’er, because as far as I know, someone like Jiang Dawei has military strength outside, but lacks support inside. I really hope to get in touch with Ye Xiang inside and out, and get what I need from each other. In fact, if Ye Jinger's girlfriend was not you, but Zhang Shouyue's son, then Ye Xiang would definitely accept it with a smile."
"But now, you were born out of nowhere, from an inconspicuous county captain in a border town to a powerful general, and your performance on the battlefield also proves that you have incomparable potential , Ye Xiang will naturally change his mind and accept you, so I am very optimistic about the matter between you and Ye Jinger, maybe Ye Xiang will delay this matter for a while for the sake of face, but As for you, he will definitely try to win you over."
"In the first battle between Yan and Zhao, I, Da Yan, won a complete victory. Not only did I reap the homeland, but it also weakened the country of Zhao to a great extent. In the future, the country of Zhao will deal with the country of Qin, so there is no time to pay attention to us. Instead, they will beg us not to make trouble." Speaking of this, Ning Zecheng became excited, "Of course we won't provoke them at this time, Zhao Guo can be weak, but it can't collapse, we still need them to block the Qin people , For us, this is a precious period of time, and this time will be an opportunity for us to calm down Donghu and recover a large area of Liaodong. Once we do this, Zhao Guo is in the confrontation with Qin If it is continuously weakened, our country of Yan can take advantage of the momentum to rise.”
"Your General Conquering the East is also very well-destined. I, Dayan, want to use troops against Donghu, but all these years, there is only one you, who have continued to attack Donghu and know Donghu very well. And you have a contract with Zhang Shou If you are the general who conquers the East, you will not be afraid of Zhang Shouyue in the west of Liaoning. If you do well, you may even get his support. It is of great benefit for Yan to pacify Donghu. You must know that it is impossible to use troops against Donghu without the support of Zhang Shouyue.”
"When will the imperial court use troops against Donghu?" Gao Yuan asked.
Ning Zecheng laughed, "Are you in a hurry? There is no need to rush. The strategy has been decided, but if it is really implemented, it will take a few years and it will not work at all."
"It is said that soldiers are expensive and fast!" Gao Yuan pondered and said, "If Miranda gets wind of it over time, she will definitely make targeted deployments. Isn't it more difficult to fight then?"
Ning Zecheng laughed loudly: "Gao Yuan, watching you fight, you are indeed extremely sophisticated in terms of tactics, but in terms of strategy, you still lack a lot. This time we use troops against Donghu, and we are fighting against Zhao Guo. It's quite different."
Tan Feng nodded, "For Zhao Guo, we accept it as soon as we see it, as long as we achieve the predetermined goal, but for Dong Hu, this is a real national war, and it is about to exterminate the clan. Either you die or I die , In such a big battle, it is basically impossible to win quickly. Therefore, the preparation work in the early stage will take longer."
"Tan Feng's words are right. It is a long process to make a strategy, prepare, and dispatch troops. Don't be impatient. If you are impatient, things will go wrong." Ning Zecheng said slowly: "Even if Miranda knows, there is What's the use, in the end, the winner is determined by strength."
Gao Yuan let out a long breath. In these aspects, he is indeed still far behind.
"Of course, after you go back, we have nothing to do with the small fights or even big fights with the Donghu people. If you can win easily, we will get what we want. However, I guess this situation is not good. There is a big possibility, you may win some victories in the early stage, but in the end, you will run into an impregnable wall, if Donghu people are so easy to fight, wouldn’t Zhang Shouyue’s life be in vain all these years?” Ning Zecheng laughed.
Gao Yuan nodded, "I understand."
"The king is optimistic about you, I support you, Ye Xiang sees that your rising trend is unstoppable, and you are coming up, it is not a bad thing for him, so he will not stop it, this is how you can get General Zhengdong Because of his real job." Ning Zecheng smiled and said: "Only Zhou Taiwei is unhappy, but he alone can't turn us around."
"Master Ning, please forgive me, why do you support me so much? In Yuyang, I have already rejected your invitation!" Gao Yuan looked at Ning Zecheng, and there were some things that he Don't ask to understand, I'm really worried.
Ning Zecheng smiled and said nothing, after a while, he said: "You can't figure it out?"
Gao Yuan shook his head.
"Gao Yuan, a general who knows how to fight but doesn't understand politics can only be a fierce general who charges forward, and cannot become the pillar of the country, but a general who understands politics and knows how to fight can become an indispensable handsome man for the country Minister, in this regard, Zhao Mu is a good role model, I heard that Zi Lan advertised you as Zhao Mu of the Yan Kingdom?"
"That's all he said casually!" Gao Yuan shook his head.
"He has no good intentions!" Ning Zecheng said: "This person is very powerful, don't underestimate this casual sentence, Gong Zilan is actually deliberate, and his sinister intention to disturb my Dayan political situation is clear at a glance. "
Gao Yuan really can't understand how Zi Lan's words will affect the political situation of Yan State.
"I'll let you think about it slowly!" Ning Zecheng said with a smile, "I can answer the questions you want to ask right now, and promote you. Of course I have to give my full support. Wouldn’t I give my full support to things that can balance public and private interests?”
"Balance between public and private interests?" Gao Yuan still doesn't understand.
"Who has the most power in the country of Yan when there is a war?" Ning Zecheng asked with a smile. , and I, Ye Xiang, must revolve around him and serve him. The army is originally the private land of the Taiwei. Although I have Tanfeng, it is just a drop in the bucket. , on the premise of not disturbing the state affairs, share the power of Taiwei Bo. And you are the best candidate. You, Zhang Shouyue and others will be an excellent force to restrain the Taiwei. I think, now you should Do you understand? The faster you grow, Ye Xiang will be happy, because you are his son-in-law, and I am also very happy, because I have your friendship. The Taiwei cannot be the only one, this is our principle , to maintain a balance, Yan will have long-term peace and stability.”
