Even though Xiao Cheng has proven his talents in a series of incidents in the northwest, showing his sharp skills and far-reaching plans, these images only stay at the Hengshan party items such as Tuoba Yangwei, Nan Renzhong and others.

In my heart, of course, even though the Weiming clan that had been exterminated knew it, they could not speak.

But after returning to Bianliang, Xiao Cheng changed from Xiao Xianxian, who held great power in Hengshan and could make everything with a wave of his hand, to Xiao Chongwen, a reading seed. Everyone would ask for his opinion, but they didn't

His opinions will not be regarded as a key reference direction.

He couldn't let Jing Wang Zhao Zhe stop moving forward.

He can't even influence his own father.

Faced with such a situation, Xiao Cheng could only regretfully give up on these useless efforts.

Rather than doing all this useless work, it is better to focus your energy on planning your future and preparing for the next two major exams.

If you want others to truly value you, in the final analysis, you still have to be able to stand above the court, and your position must be high enough. Otherwise, you will always be a supporting role.

And the subsequent development of the matter really made Xiao Cheng right.

Tao Dayong was received by officials.

The officials gave him extremely high courtesy and rewarded him with a house, a manor, silk fabrics, and money, but then nothing happened.

The position of commander of the Japanese army that had been decided was unexpectedly lost.

Although the Japanese army did not find a new commander and was left vacant, Tao Dayong, a popular general who had just returned from the border, was unemployed.

Xiao Cheng, who was making final preparations for the exam with Master Cen, could only smile bitterly after learning the news, then shook his head and threw the news behind him.

Well, from this point of view, the emperor still showed mercy. I hope his warning this time can make King Jing understand something, take a few steps back, and stop being so anxious.

Faced with such a result, Jing Wang Zhao Zhe was naturally upset.

Some people are not happy, and naturally some people are happy.

"Ziyu, come on, come on, drink this cup!" King Zhao Jing of Chu smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed: "This time you used a little trick to let your father see the true face of the second son. Hahaha, I'm so happy.

, what a joy!”

"I just felt sorry for Bi Juren. He was beaten by Tao Dayong and kicked out." Zhao Yuan took a sip of wine and shook his head.

Zhao Jingdao: "Can we use this matter to pursue the victory? Tao Dayong beats the scholar, and he is also a person with the status of a civil servant. As long as this matter is revealed to Wutai, those censors who have nothing to do will definitely gather together and fight."

Attacked."

"No, no, no!" Zhao Yuan shook his head repeatedly: "Your Highness, enough is enough. If this matter really continues to make a fuss, then why Tao Dayong beat Bi Juren will definitely be found out. People with a discerning eye will know when the time comes.

We have a beginning and an end to this matter."

"Can't you see it now?" Zhao Jing asked with a smile.

"Of course!" Zhao Yuan said with a smile: "I have already paid the reward beforehand, and I made it clear to Bi Juren that after this matter is over, go back to your hometown. If you still dare to stay in Bianliang, I'm afraid

His life is hard to save. Now that Bi Juren has run away, in the eyes of the world, it means that Tao Dayong found a crooked staff member and severely cheated him. In addition to making people laugh at him even more for being a rude military general.

Besides, it won’t make people think too much.”

"In this way, we will be picked clean." Zhao Jing clapped his hands and laughed.

"Of course, Your Highness, sometimes reputation is still very important." Zhao Yuan said seriously: "If you can avoid being involved in cause and effect, then naturally you shouldn't be involved."

Zhao Jing laughed and raised his glass to invite him to drink.

"Ziyu, tell me, should we split up the Dingwu Army next? I saw the Dingwu Army and found that it was indeed extraordinary. Even though it was not as good as Xiao Ding's Guangrui Army, it was

Compared with the Upper Fourth Army, I'm afraid it is much more powerful. Splitting the entire Dingwu Army and assigning it to various departments of the Upper Fourth Army will be very helpful in improving the combat effectiveness of the entire Upper Fourth Army. Now my father has put

The Fourth Army was left in my hands, so I had to do something."

Zhao Yuan twirled his wine glass and said with a smile: "Your Highness, why do we need to split it up? Such an army will be useless once it is split up. Where is Bianliang? It really needs to be split up.

, throw them into the hundreds of thousands of Bianliang Forbidden Army, I'm afraid it won't take long, and they will be of no use."

"But it's difficult to manage them together, and more importantly, it's difficult to keep them in your pocket?" Zhao Jing shook his head. "These border generals like to stick together very much."

"Why are we taking them into our pocket?" Zhao Yuan laughed and said: "There are only two thousand people left and right. Rather than expending so much effort to do something with no idea of ​​the result, we might as well make good use of them to do something we can do."

Something that predicts the consequences.”

"What good strategy does Ziyu have?" Zhao Jing's eyes flashed.

"Your Highness, these border generals are all full of blood and have made great achievements. Deep in their hearts, they look down on the Fourth Army in Beijing." Zhao Yuan smiled and said: "In their opinion, the Shang Fourth Army

The Fourth Army is just trash. Although the Dingwu Army has just entered Beijing, there have been many such conflicts between the two sides. However, for now, it is only limited to verbal conflicts. The leaders of both sides are suppressing this matter.

"

"Ziyu wants to take advantage of this?" Zhao Jing asked.

Zhao Yuan nodded: "When these people come back after making great achievements, they naturally feel that they are superior to others. They hope to gain respect from others and wait for better treatment. But what if the facts are very different from their hopes?"

"They will be very unhappy, very unconvinced, and very aggrieved." Zhao Jing said.

"Yes, when this emotion slowly builds up to a certain level, Your Highness, what do you think these soldiers from the border will do?" Zhao Yuan took a sip of wine.

"Making trouble." Zhao Jing said with certainty: "Don't think they will make trouble. Among the four armies, if the payment of salary rice is delayed, they will argue."

"Everyone knows these prostitutes who have been in Beijing for a long time, and we know that they are just looking for a few dollars and a few rice." Zhao Yuan said: "So from the officials down to the officials, they don't take it as a big deal.

It's just a reward of a few more coins. But will these soldiers and generals from the border areas be at ease?"

"Anyway, I'm not too worried." Zhao Jing said with a smile: "When I think of Xiao Ding and his ten men, they defeated more than a hundred elites selected from the Fourth Army and were completely defeated. I feel cold in my heart.

.Didn’t the second brother say in the palace that the Dingwu Army is no worse than the Guangrui Army? If you really want to say that, if these two thousand Dingwu Army cause trouble, they can fight against each other.

Turn Bianliang over?"

"Although that's not how the accounts were settled, we might as well let the officials have this idea when the time comes." Zhao Yuan's eyes, which were already somewhat narrow, were narrowed to just a slit at this moment. "Your Highness, this is really going to happen.

When things happen, who will these soldiers go to to redress their grievances?"

"Of course I will find Tao Dayong." Zhao Jing said, "But is Tao Dayong the green onion in Bianliang? In the end, Bi Ran will find him."

"With the character of His Highness, he will not just watch his old subordinates being bullied and wronged. He will definitely stand up for them." Zhao Yuan said: "If you come and go, this will leave a mark on the officials.

If the Dingwu Army suddenly does something big in the future, the officials will of course put this account on the head of His Highness King Jing. In Bianliang City, the only one who can instruct the Dingwu Army is King Jing.

Who else could your Highness be? Could it be you, the King of Chu?"

Zhao Jing was stunned for a long time, then raised his thumb towards Zhao Yuan: "Ziyu, you are really my Zhang Zifang. But how can we make these people do great things?"

"Of course, we have to plan slowly." Zhao Yuan said: "First let these Dingwu army generals be blocked and made things difficult everywhere in the capital, and then go to look for people among them who can be bribed and exploited. There are always people in their early 2,000s.

Some are unwilling to accept the status quo and want to find another way out. Your Highness, you can arrange things to make things difficult for them. As for finding internal support among them, I will find a way." Zhao Yuan said: "This is a winning move. We

You have to use it properly!”

"Winning hand?" Zhao Jing looked serious.

"Of course, the winner!" Zhao Yuan said: "Although His Highness King Jing is still thinking about other border troops coming to Beijing, this matter, I'm afraid it won't happen. There must be something going on over there on Hebei Road. No matter it is

Neither Cui Ang nor Xia Jie will let the experienced Hebei frontier army leave. From now on, the only one in Beijing is the Dingwu army. Your Highness, please do not move. If we are touched,

We must decide the overall situation and completely sink His Royal Highness King Jing."

Zhao Jing took a deep breath and looked a little excited.

At present, Zhao Zhe is very proud of himself in the capital, which makes him breathless. When facing his second brother, he has been staying away from him.

"Ziyu, once you succeed, I will never let you down in the future. Even if you are the father-in-law of the two houses, I will leave it up to you." Zhao Jing said loudly.

Zhao Yuan shook his head: "You have to be a Jinshi to be the Prime Minister of the two houses, but I don't have this qualification."

"When the time comes I say you are qualified, and of course you will be qualified." Zhao Jing sneered.

"Does Your Highness want to offend all the scholars in the world because of me?" Zhao Yuan said with a smile: "This is not worth the loss. When the time comes, His Highness will give me the status of a storyteller in Chongming Palace, and Ziyu will be satisfied. As for the worries of the two princes,
