Chapter 217: The Nature of Politics
"Brother, you're here!" Yue Fei walked into the living room with a smile, stretched out his hand, and the corners of his mouth went up: "We have been separated for half a year, how can my brother have time to come and see my brother."
Dong Ping stretched out his hand with a smile and said with a smile: "I came this time, you shouldn't want to chat with me here, right?"
Yue Fei frowned, nodded as if meaningfully, and didn't speak anymore, just gestured back, and then walked towards the secret room with Dong Ping and his party.
Dong Ping casually glanced around on the road, and swept his gaze over the furnishings in Yue Fei's mansion without a trace.
When he came in just now, he found that there were almost no servants in this house.
Now out of the living room, the group walked through the corridor, looking at the ponds on both sides being divided by the plank road, Dong Ping couldn't help but sigh a little.
Along the way, he could hardly see any guards and maids, let alone a group of wives and concubines.
Yue Pengju is really an unusual person, although Cheng Zhu Lixue was prevalent at this time in the Song Dynasty, but this young man with strong blood was able to do it to this extent.
"I said Pengju, you're not too young, don't you plan to find a lady?" Dong Ping said with a smile: "Could it be that I really plan to devote myself to this war, and ignore my life's major events."
"This ...... Brother, you're joking. Yue Fei was also stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I haven't met a good woman at present, and this lifelong event can't be so casual, right?"
Is this man of this age? Dong Ping couldn't help but be a little speechless in his heart.
"Big brother, this is meeting someone who is more abstinent than you." Liu Yun smiled on the side: "I said that you two brothers are really born to the same mother, right?"
"You kid can suffocate if you don't speak, can you?" Dong Ping laughed and scolded in a low voice: "Believe it or not, I'll go back and reduce you to a firehead?"
"You can't afford to mess with it." Liu Yun put his hands behind his head, and said with a helpless expression: "I said, if you can't stand it, you can go outside with your brother to relax and relax, why bother ......"
Halfway through his words, Liu Yun only felt a chill coming out.
"You were there, saying, what?" Liang Hongyu's laughter came.
"Mother...... Lady, I swear to God, it's really just once, I went with Sun Li and Shi Jin when I went back to the mountain with Sun Li and Shi Jin! Liu Yun waved his hand painfully and explained.
"Okay, then we'll have some fun tonight, Xiang-sama."
Liang Hongyu deliberately held up the long tone, but it stimulated Liu Yun's whole body.
Dong Ping shook his head with a smile, and quickened his pace forward, seeing that he was almost in the depths of the General's Mansion, Yue Fei hadn't stopped yet, and was about to say something, but saw Hu Sanniang coming over from the side.
"What's the matter, girl, what's the matter?" Dong Ping asked.
"Brother, just now Brother Yun Yin and Brother Zaixing sent a signal from outside, saying that all the monitors of the imperial court have been eliminated by them, and asked if we want them to come in and help." Hu Sanniang lowered her voice and said.
Dong Ping clasped his hands in front of his chest and said in a low tone: "There is no need to respond, they can't receive a response signal, they will patrol the periphery as planned, let's solve this matter first."
The fact is that Dong Ping did not speed up, before Shi Bao found out that the imperial court had sent a large number of assassins to monitor the city, Dong Ping asked him and Yang Zaixing to solve it.
After Yue Fei's problem this time is fully understood, and then it is solved, he has to hurry to the Yanshan area of Liao State to buy brass.
Then, we have to guard against the possible attack of Zeng Tou City, although Dongping City has fallen into the hands of Wen Huanzhang, but Zeng Xue and the three of them are still in Liangshan.
If Zeng Lane found this place, this war would still be inevitable, not to mention, Liangshan and Zengtou City also formed a lot of grievances for various reasons.
Su Ding, a deputy teacher in Zengtou City, once came to intervene when he was suppressing bandits in Liangshan, and was stabbed over the horse by Lu Junyi and seriously injured.
In general, this big war is inevitable, Dong Ping calculated in his heart, no matter what, the two sides have formed a mortal enemy, from Tang Bin to Su Ding, it is impossible for the two sides to solve the problem through negotiations.
Then, it is the problem of Liao, Dong Ping secretly thought in his heart, Liaoguo is now the number one country on the surface, at least on the surface, everyone in the world thinks so.
Moreover, the words of those displaced may not all be credible.
Then, at the level of Wen Huanzhang and Wu Yong, they will definitely persuade those who support the war between the Great Song and the Great Liao now.
In any case, they will never agree to a lose-lose situation for both sides at the moment.
Dong Ping can be sure that within half a year, this battle will not be fought.
"Brother, it's already here."
Yue Fei's voice interrupted Dong Ping's thoughts, Dong Ping raised his head to look, only to find that he had arrived in front of a secret room.
"I didn't expect that Brother Xian also has such a secret room here." Dong Ping smiled: "It seems that we will definitely be able to solve all the problems this time."
The corners of Yue Fei's mouth twitched, but he didn't speak, just entered the room, opened the door of the secret room on the stone wall, and walked in with Dong Ping and the others.
Dong Ping swept around, the whole room was made of stone walls, a bright oil lamp lit up the room, and there was a table in the middle.
At this time, there were already several cups of tea on the table, and the five of them sat down, Yue Fei spoke first: "Brother, if my guess is correct, you should have come for the fact that we attacked Western Xia a few days ago, but we were ruined, right?"
"Brother said that he laughed, if you want to say that you are ruined, I am still about the same, you can't talk about it." Dong Ping smiled: "I came this time to give you a suggestion."
"Suggestions?" Yue Fei's brows furrowed.
"Brother, listen to my brother's advice, give up, don't fight with Gao Yu." Dong Ping put down the teacup in his hand and said indifferently.
Yue Fei's brows tightened even more, but after half a day, he didn't even say a word.
"I know it's hard to accept at this time, and this time I underestimated you, since you're not implicated." Dong Ping's eyes became more and more gloomy, and his tone gradually became serious: "If you continue to fight like this, you know what the consequences will be, right?"
"Brother, are you asking me to ignore the kind of handsome?" Yue Fei said in a low tone.
"I know that you are on his orders, and this is your will of your own free will." Dong Ping said in a deep voice: "However, sometimes, giving up for a while is for better revenge in the future."
Yue Fei's eyes trembled violently, as if he remembered something.
Seed Master Dao and Yue Fei were held accountable by the imperial court for using troops without authorization a while ago, but Seed Master Dao alone took all the responsibilities and was directly demoted to a concubine, while Yue Fei continued to stay in his original position without any change.
"Zhong Shuai's situation is the consequence of his own choice to gamble that day." Dong Ping stood up, walked to the wall with his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice: "Pengju, do you know what the essence of politics is?"
"You say." Yue Fei was also a little speechless for a while.
"Deception."
"Huh?"
"The essence of politics is deception." Dong Ping turned around, sat down and said: "The rulers of all dynasties, there are military generals, women, teenagers, and even more so, it is really funny that the relatives and eunuchs of the Han Dynasty have been in control of the government for a long time."
"And people like Gao Yu are similar to them, with the favor of the ruler, which of these powerful ministers since ancient times doesn't think about Long Deng's Ninth Five-Year Plan, and finally a certain emperor throne?"
Dong Ping's tone became more and more heavy: "Since ancient times, how many heroes and heroes have defended their families and the country on the border, born and died, but they can't withstand the slander of villains."
"And if you continue to fight with Gao Yu now, then all the evidence will not be in the hands of Your Majesty."
Dong Ping sneered: "With Gao Yu's ability, he only needs one thought, which is enough to make us lose everything at present, this is his ability."
"The source of all this lies in the rulers themselves, because this is the era of personal rule." Dong Ping said in a deep voice: "Do you still think that you can persuade the loyal ministers of the court to redress your grievances and fight with Gao Yu?"
"Okay, I probably know everything......"
Yue Fei held his forehead and said with a wry smile: "Senior brother, perhaps, I should have followed you back then in Kaifeng, otherwise how could we all come to this point?"
"When I say all this, I don't mean that I want to succumb to a mere high-ranking man, nor that I am scared by him." Dong Ping said in a deep voice: "It's just that it's not yet time for us to have a showdown with them."
"I know." Yue Fei nodded, his voice revealing a firmness.
Dong Ping frowned, sighed softly, and was silent for a long time, but he still said, "Don't you want to persuade me to join your army?"
"Hehe, if I don't even understand who you are, I wouldn't be worthy of being your brother." Yue Fei put down the wine glass in his hand and showed a warm smile.
"What's more, I believe that you, brother, will never betray the court."
After Yue Fei finished speaking, another large glass of wine entered his throat, as if he wanted to forget what was unpleasant.
Dong Ping looked at his eyes, half a day passed, and the two just looked at each other and smiled.
"Don't worry, in a few days, I'll be back in the old position." Dong Ping smiled: "As for Gao Yu, when the time comes, we will naturally have a chance to clean him up."
"My brother is right." Yue Fei nodded.
The five of them each drank a few glasses of wine and chatted with each other, Yue Fei shook the wine glass in front of him, and said with a smile: "Brother, if you want to find brass, I know something."
"Brother, don't sell it, just say it directly." Dong Ping said with a smile.
Yue Fei nodded, and introduced himself to Dong Ping.
Yanzhou, on the south bank of the Yanshan Mountains of Liao, is rich in brass and a strange stone called "Cold Star Meteorite", but the latter is extremely rare, and it is said that no one has ever successfully mined the city for 4,000 years. ”
Yue Fei paused, and then said, "Brother, if you want to find the hardest material, you will definitely be able to get the answer there."
Cold Star Meteorite?
Dong Ping held his chin with his right hand, and after a moment of thoughtfulness in his eyes, he still spoke: "Pengju, this matter is thanks to you, by the way, you look at this."
After speaking, Dong Ping took a look from the dimensional space, and an emerald-colored strange grass had already appeared in his hand.
"This is ......" Yue Fei was also a little dazed for a while.
"The name of this thing is "Nine Xuanxiao Green Grass." "There is the living dead, the magic effect of flesh and bones." Dong Ping put the grass on the table and said with a smile: "I didn't bring anything with me, so this should be a little gift."
"Brother, Pengju is really grateful." Yue Fei took the strange grass with a hint of emotion in his eyes, and said, "No matter what, if you have to leave today, be careful on the road, I have a map here, you can rush to Liao Country by the mountain path."
Dong Ping took the map, smiled and said: "Okay, if it's my own brother, don't talk about these words, I have to leave today, and things in Shandong have not been ordinary recently."
"Brother Yue Fei, I said you have a map here, why are you still lost all day long?" Liu Yun smiled on the side: "Is it that you are too obsessed with practicing martial arts, and you have brought the map into a nautical chart?"
"I said, can you be quieter, kid?" Dong Ping scolded with a smile.
"Brother Liu Yun's words make sense." Yue Fei said with a smile: "Last time, I seemed to have brought the map of the field exercise site into a map of the Maritime Silk Road, and that time I could only sleep in the field, but I also happened to run into Wang Qing's subordinate Li Zhu and cleaned up his thieves."
"Alright, brother, we'll see you next time." Dong Ping clasped his hands into fists and said with a smile, Yue Fei also arched his hand, and Dong Ping was ready to walk out.
"By the way, there's one more thing." Dong Ping suddenly remembered something, turned around and said, "You are not very peaceful in this city, don't take your own people too seriously."
Yue Fei smiled: "Brother, don't worry, I have my own arrangements."
Dong Ping nodded slightly, and was about to speak, but the system prompted that an urgent notice had been received.
