Guoping people said sonorously: "Prime Minister and Prime Minister, which means that the sky is obedient to the people, and the heart is the world." Dean Yan, am I right to explain it like this? ”

"Not bad!"

Yan Qi thought so, and suddenly asked Guoping: "Since Cao Tong is the prime minister, then he should obey the people and the world, right?" ”

Guoping nodded: "This is naturally right, this is the duty of Prime Minister Dahua." ”

Yan Qi said again: "Since you want to obey the people and the world, is that a response to that sentence: the people are precious, the society is secondary, and the king is light?" ”

Guoping nodded: "This is an eternal truth. ”

Yan Qidao: "This also means, who is Cao Dong serving?" It is the people, the people of Dahua, and this should be put first; In the second place, it can be regarded as Dahua's Jiangshan Sheji; The one who is placed in third place is the current emperor. And the crown prince naturally has to stay behind. ”

"So, in the eyes of Prime Minister Cao Cheng, is the prince important? Of course it is important, very important, but in the face of the safety of the people of Dahua, the important prince has become less important. ”

When Guoping people heard this, their brains buzzed, and their faces turned pale: "This ......"

He had nothing to say.

Yan Qi's expression was solemn: "Mr. Guo, you should be able to hear it, I am not sophistry, let alone secretly changing concepts, but talking about the mind of the prime minister." ”

"Since Cao Tong is the prime minister, of course he must have a heart for his family and country. In his eyes, it is the vast Dahua, hundreds of millions of people and people. As long as it is beneficial to the people, he will definitely do it, and he will definitely fight for what is beneficial to the country. ”

Guoping people were silent, and their hearts were like numbness.

Yan Qi took a sip of tea and continued: "Dahua is not only fighting with the Turks, but also fighting with Annan, it is a two-front battle, the Turks are fierce, Annan is difficult, plus the Dahua drought, the people are miserable, if it is delayed, Dahua is in danger." ”

At this time, what was Prime Minister Cao Cheng thinking about? It is the life and death of Dahua, and the safety of the prince has fallen behind. It is precisely because of this that Prime Minister Cao Cheng will use a trick to pretend to be trapped in Hongcheng, attracting Annan to besiege him. Therefore, it will create an excellent opportunity for Daniel Zhang to bypass the Annan coalition army and attack the capital of Annan in Shunnei. This move is to smash Huanglong directly and settle the situation in one fell swoop. ”

After listening to Yan Qi's words, Guoping people suddenly felt that it made sense, but they couldn't accept this cruel fact in their hearts, and muttered in their mouths: "Could it be that I was wrong?" ”

Yan Qi shook his head: "You are not wrong, you and Prime Minister Cao Cheng are not wrong, the reason why the values drawn are different is because you stand from different angles." ”

"Cao Tong is the prime minister of Dahua, so he naturally has to consider it from the standpoint of Dahua's safety; Mr. Guo Lao is the prince's master, and he is also the closest person to the prince, and he has special feelings for the prince, making an inappropriate analogy, which is equivalent to a father and a son, the father's full love is all given to the son, and the son is his whole world. Therefore, Mr. Guo only has the prince in his eyes, and no one, including the emperor himself, is as important as the prince, am I right? ”

When the people of Guoping heard this, they had nothing to say, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

Yan Qi's words do not have any sophistry, they are completely heartfelt.

Guoping people are knowledgeable, so they can naturally hear clearly.

Tang Bufan listened to it on the side, and nodded frequently: "What Dean Yan said is right, the positions are different, and the conclusions drawn are different. Prime Minister Cao Cheng is for the sake of the country, and the old master is worried about the safety of the prince, you are not wrong, but the angle is different. ”

Guoping people thought about it and said unconvinced: "That's not right, since Cao Tong wants to make dangerous moves, can't he just trap himself in Hongcheng?" Why implicate the crown prince? Wouldn't it be safer to let the prince go? ”

Yan Qi listened to it and grinned, smiling like a child.

Guoping people were very embarrassed: "Dean Yan, you seem to be ...... You're mocking me......"

Yan Qi's smile did have some sarcasm.

He tried to endure it, but he couldn't control it.

But after thinking about it, Guoping people are old pedants who have no experience in pushing themselves and others, so it is understandable to say such things.

Yan Qi bowed his hand to the Guoping people, apologized, and then asked the Guoping people: "In the eyes of the Annan coalition army, who is the most important?" Is it Prime Minister Cao Cheng, or the crown prince? ”

Guoping said: "Naturally, he is the crown prince, and this is the only heir to the throne." ”

Yan Qi snapped his fingers: "The truth is here." In fact, in the eyes of the Annan coalition army, the status of the prince is special, exactly the same as the prince in the eyes of Mr. Guolao, who believes that as long as he captures the prince, he can control Dahua, and then negotiate and gain the initiative. ”

"Therefore, Prime Minister Cao Cheng's strategy of attacking Shunnei, the most important eye of the storm is the prince. If the crown prince runs away, how can he attract the firepower of the Annan coalition army? If it can't attract the firepower of the Annam coalition forces, does this surprise attack strategy still have any meaning? ”

When the people of Guoping heard this, they were stunned.

He didn't even think about this simple truth, and he was very ashamed.

Yan Qi said again: "Moreover, in my opinion, Cao Cheng also took care of the prince, and he also tried his best to protect the prince's safety, and he did not have the slightest perfunctory. ”

Guoping people are not convinced: "How do you say this? ”

Yan Qi responded: "Because, the prince is the eye of the storm in the whole surprise attack, as long as the prince pretends to be trapped in Hongcheng, the Annan coalition army will inevitably mobilize a large army and storm Shunnei, giving Daniel Zhang a chance to sneak attack Shunnei, the capital of Annan." ”

"However, Mr. Guo, have you noticed that after Prime Minister Cao Cheng has designed the surprise attack strategy, he can retreat, and he doesn't have to stay in Hongcheng, nor do you have to accompany the prince on an adventure. After all, Prime Minister Cao Cheng, as the strategic planner of Dahua, is equivalent to the supreme master, and he has every reason to take the lead in leaving the dangerous place on the grounds of his own safety, not to mention the life and death of the prince. ”

However, Prime Minister Cao Cheng did not do this, but stayed in Hongcheng with the prince, and tied his own safety to Hongcheng. And isn't this Cao Cheng's greatest care and protection for the prince? ”

Guoping people were completely shocked by Yan Qi's words.

This kind of shock is not because Yan Qi is strong, but because Yan Qi has picked out all the slots of the surprise attack strategy.

Once, because of the prince's affairs, Guoping people were angry with Cao Tong, and they didn't understand why Cao Tong was so 'bad' and so 'lost his conscience'.

Cao Dong, Cao Dong, you are obviously a clean official, why are you so cruel to the prince.

But after listening to Yan Qi's penetrating and meticulous analysis, he realized that he had misunderstood Cao Tong.

From Cao Tong's standpoint, he should do this, and he can only do this.

Moreover, in order to protect the prince, didn't Cao Tong also stay in Hongcheng?

This responsibility at the moment of life and death is also arrogant, so that no one can say half a word.

The more Guoping people pondered, the more ashamed they became, and their faces were flushed, like a monkey's buttocks.

In my life, I have never been so ashamed.
