Chapter 43: Set almost
Mo Feng looked around, the soldiers were immersed in a boil, the voice was too noisy, so he said to Ling Luotian: "His Royal Highness the Prince, it's too noisy here, if you don't dislike it, how about going to my tent, it's quieter there." ”
"That's very good, please ask General Mo to lead the way."
"Yes!"
Ling Luotian retreated from the guards who wanted to follow him, and came to his tent with Mo Feng's support.
After Ling Luotian sat down, Mo Feng brought him a cup of tea and soup: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the military camp is simple, there is nothing to entertain, a cup of tea and soup, talk about your heart!" ”
"General Mo doesn't have to be like this, Prince Ben is not such a particular person." As he spoke, he took a sip gently, and then, thinking like a demon, drank the whole cup of tea.
"General Mo, can you have another drink!" Ling Luotian licked his mouth, a little unsatisfied. The tea soup looks muddy, and there are some impurities in it. Originally, he didn't want to drink it, but for the sake of face, he had to take a small sip. But when he drank it, he found that the muddy tea soup actually had a sweet taste, and his thirst and irritability had improved a little after drinking.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes it, then it's best!" Mo Feng said as he poured another cup for Ling Luotian.
This time, Ling Luotian was not as "disgusted" as he was just now, and he drank the whole cup directly. After this mouthful, Ling Luotian actually gave birth to a familiar feeling.
"General Mo, what is this tea soup, although it looks turbid and impurities, but after drinking it, it has a sweet feeling, and the feeling of thirst and irritability after drinking has also decreased a lot!" Ling Luotian held the cup and sniffed the residue in the cup carefully.
Mo Feng smiled and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi, in fact, this is nothing to put it bluntly. This tea soup is wood honey, but the army is far less elaborate than the palace, the soldiers generally crush this wood honey and put it in water to boil, and then drink it after it is cold. Although it looks cloudy, it tastes cool and sweet, and has the effect of quenching hangover and quenching thirst. ”
Coincidentally, this wood honey was accidentally found in a forest when a soldier came out of the camp in order to wait for the prince and the imperial doctor to cancel the new military training method in the past few days.
Later, Mo Feng organized people to collect all the wood honey in the forest by hand and made this kind of decanting soup.
"I see, I said, it turned out to be Mumi. No wonder, after this second sip, I felt that this tea soup was the taste I had drunk before. ”
Mo Feng nodded, and poured another cup for Ling Luotian: "Actually, the current situation of the empire is like this wood honey soup, although it seems to be in crisis, but in fact, there is still a lot of room for maneuver. ”
Ling Luotian's head suddenly raised, looked at Mo Feng, and said to himself the current situation of the empire through the wood honey soup, this Mo Feng is indeed a wonderful person!
"Keep talking!"
"Yes! Forgive the last general to say something that should not be said, Your Majesty may have made the right decision this time, but not necessarily next time. Although those ministers in the court do not have any great skills, they have a set of tricks.
If you want to turn the empire around, it can only be if there are different voices in the court. In the Guan Empire, the only person who is most capable of doing this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. But if it is with you and your teacher Bai Chengxiang, you will naturally be alone. The best way is for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to cultivate his own power and let them enter the court and take charge of some important positions. In this way, with his own power, the words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be even more supported.
There is a big reason why the three princes of the court and the central government can collectively stand on the side of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince this time is because the ministers have angered His Majesty and infringed on their interests, otherwise, His Majesty would not be so angry. ”
Mo Feng is a smart person, Guo Jia is a smart person, and he is a smart person who is good at controlling people's hearts. When Ling Luotian and the others were still in the future, Mo Feng and Guo Jia discussed how to attract Ling Luotian's attention so that he could catch the prince's big ship. After getting on this boat, how to make him close to himself.
After discussing and planning for a long time, they finally came to a result. It wasn't difficult to get Ling Luotian's attention, maybe Ling Luotian himself would notice him. It's just that how to get on the prince's ship is a difficult point, and Mo Feng's original idea was to discuss the current crisis of the empire to him and show him a clear path. However, this would be contrary to his own interests. Later, it was Guo Jia who gave him an idea and gave Ling Luo him a plan on how to expand his own power. That's why we're in this situation.
Ling Luotian stood up and walked to the door of the tent with his hands in his hands, what Mo Feng said coincided with him, because he was doing this now. It's just that his father still has absolute dominance over this empire, and he can't be too conspicuous.
Up to now, three kilometers away, his teacher, Prime Minister Bai Hua, has supported him and offered him advice. And Taiwei is the eldest brother who supports his concubine, Ling Luocang, the king of Chengyang. Needless to say, the imperial doctor always has a thin mud and does not help each other. Among the Jiuqing, there are some sycophants, and he can't look down on them.
So far, his people have only mastered some inconsequential positions, and they can't speak above the court.
"General Mo is quick to talk, and he has nothing to hide from this prince, and the prince can't deceive General Mo. To tell you the truth, what General Mo said is exactly what Prince Ben is doing now, but now my people are in some inconsequential positions, and I can't speak. Among the three dukes, the teacher is naturally oriented towards me, the imperial doctor will only be with the mud, and the captain is from my eldest brother's side. Jiuqing and the rest of the important ministers in the court are all some wine bags and rice bags, and the prince can't look down on them at all. ”
Mo Feng walked up, pointed outside, and said, "Aside from the three princes and nine kings above the court, why don't you ask the prince to get help from these local officials and the military outside."
Taking these four southwestern counties as an example, Mo Feng, the newly arrived official of the three rebellious counties, didn't know much about it, so he didn't mention it for the time being, but the Taishou General Lu Maomo of this Zhuti County had been in contact with him before. Be upright and upright, and do everything according to law. It was under his rule that there was no rebellion in Juti. This time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince appeased the southwest, why not go and meet him, so that you can get to know Lu Mao. I heard that he seems to be interested in the captives of the rebellion in the three counties.
This military, the former general Bai Wuye is the son of the prime minister, so the Shengjie army under his command is naturally on your side, and I am also very optimistic about His Royal Highness the Prince. It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if you only have the support of these two armies, it is not enough, the King of Chengyang has the supporter of the Taiwei Yan Qin, and his strength in the military is definitely stronger than His Royal Highness the Prince.
In the army, the general is the one who can compete with the Taiwei Yan Qin, if he can gain his trust and favor, then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will have enough strength in the army. ”
After listening to Mo Feng's words, Ling Luotian had a feeling of breaking through the clouds and seeing the blue sky. I paid too much attention to the court and neglected the local government and the military. If you are friendly with them, it is also a force to be reckoned with.
Although local officials are not above the court, they are the concrete implementers of the decrees, and if you are friendly with them, your local support will be very high. Moreover, many of those redundant personnel in Chengdu were former local officials, who also became redundant because the empire lost its territory. If there is any change in the court or local officials, they are also among the candidates for the emperor. This isn't an example of hate!
The new Taishou of the three southwestern counties selected by the teacher is the Taishou of the original imperial pastor, and his ability and political achievements have also been outstanding in the past. He has also heard that in the jokes and chats of those ministers, he is a stubborn donkey, but this stubborn donkey can actually govern Zhuti County in an orderly manner, and even the teacher often praises him. Just now, General Mo said that he was interested in the prisoners of the rebellion, and it seems that the governor of Juti County is also here, so it seems that he can start with the prisoners.
Such people, if they can support themselves, then ......
As for the military, he really doesn't pay much attention to it on weekdays. My father didn't like martial arts, so he naturally didn't care too much about military affairs. Even if his teacher often asked him to know more, he laughed it off, after all, if he paid too much attention and made his father unhappy, it would really be worth the loss.
Today, I heard the same words as his teacher from the mouth of another person, and I couldn't help but pay attention to the military. What he cares about more and what he has long ignored is the fact that his eldest brother has more supporters in the military than himself, which is the last thing he can bear.
Looking at Ling Luotian's shining eyes, Mo Feng knew that his words had reached his heart. In that case, let's add another fire to myself.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, there is one more thing about the last general, I don't know if I should say it?"
"Although General Mo is here, this prince listens!"
"Those Jiuqing in the court are extremely greedy, and they have no other skills, they will only flatter and slap horses all day long. The prince was right to look down on them, even Mo Feng, a martial artist who had not yet met them, hated them very much.
Although they cannot be used by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, they are very useful chess pieces. As long as they do what they like, they will definitely be able to surprise the Prince's Palace. ”
"General Mo, let me think about this." Mo Feng spoke very beautifully, and he agreed very much. Indeed, these people are greedy and tempted with money, and they must be able to drive themselves, but in that case, what is the persistence they have always had! Isn't the image of a virtuous prince created in the court ruined!
Ling Luotian's attitude Mo Feng had already thought of it, and Mo Feng was not much disappointed in this, because he didn't have much hope in the first place. It is easy for a person to accept things that he ignores, but it is very difficult to accept things that he hates.
Ling Luotian turned around and patted Mo Feng on the shoulder a few times: "General Mo is worthy of being the son of the Ink Thorn History, and he really got the true inheritance of the Ink Thorn History, and his future prospects must be limitless!" ”
Cast it into a peach and repay it with a li, Ling Luotian has been learning from Bai Hua for so long, and he has long been able to gather people's hearts and minds. Mo Feng's words just now are enough to prove his talent. How can such a person show favor to himself without showing it!
"Thank you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his praise, and the last general will definitely take the lead of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future."
Mo Feng saluted Ling Luotian, very respectful. It's just that the moment he lowered his head, a trace of an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and in a moment, the goal he wanted to achieve was achieved, befriending the prince, he did it. As for the prisoners, he had already moved out of Lu Mao, and the rest was up to them.
