In the evening, Yang Yi set up a dinner party in the middle of the line. Different from the afternoon, those who were able to attend this dinner were all Shuzhong and the military and political dignitaries who were sent by Shuzhong to be in charge of the Dayue Kingdom, as well as the stewards of some big commercial houses in Shuzhong.

Yang Yi met and talked to these people one by one, and before the dinner began, a group of hundreds of people rushed over, it turned out to be a group of officials who stayed in Kuicheng, the capital of Dayue State, and they heard the news of Yang Yicai's stay in the military port, so they rushed to it as soon as possible.

Yang Yi still knew some of these people, including Lu Xiang, a young official who Lu Yuanliang proposed to stay in the Great Yue Kingdom to control power, Lu Xiang and Xu Zhengchong.

After several years of training in Dayue Kingdom, these two people have faded away from their immature spirit, and they are mostly a little calm.

"Xiaguan and the others are late, and I hope His Royal Highness will forgive his sins." Lu Xiang, who had already grown a small handful of beards, stepped forward to bow.

A young man beside Lu Xiang with a clear face and a hint of coldness also bowed down and said, "Your Highness Xu Zhengchong has seen Your Highness. ”

Yang Yi nodded, stepped forward to help the two of them up, and said, "The two of you have a hard journey, don't be polite." ”

As soon as the two of them stood up, they saw Yue Jing on the side and hurriedly bowed again: "The lower official has seen the general." ”

Yue Jing led the army to be stationed in the territory of Dayue all the year round, although the official position is not the highest, but no one does not know that Yue Jing is the person who really represents Yang Yi, and his heavy nearly 50,000 elite soldiers alone can make him stomp his feet The entire Dayue Kingdom has to tremble, so in essence, Lu Xiang and Xu Zhengchong are under Yue Jing's control, but Yue Jing only understands military affairs and does not understand internal affairs, and he basically does not interfere with them on weekdays.

Yue Jing nodded and asked, "Didn't I send you an interrogation three days in advance?" How did you come today? The end is to miss the military supervision ceremony of the Sea Dragon Water Division. ”

Hearing this, Xu Zhengchong glanced at Lu Xiang beside him, and said with hidden displeasure: "It's that Lord Lu is too grinding, and he has to worry about the trivial things in Kuicheng, otherwise we will be here yesterday." ”

Lu Xiang's face was not good when he heard this, and he also said: "What is Lord Xu, you and I have both left Kuicheng, if Su Gree and Guili are plotting against each other, can you and I take responsibility?" ”

Xu Zhengchong said with a smile: "Then Su Gree and Guili have long been frightened by me, what do they dare to do?" ”

Lu Xiang snorted coldly: "I don't know about your methods? His Royal Highness once told us that the control of the Great Yue Kingdom must be dominated by Huairou, but you know how to arrest people and kill people all day long, and the blood stains on the knife in the hands of the dark envoy have never stopped in the past few years! Sooner or later, something will go wrong. ”

Xu Zhengchong was slightly angry, and said angrily: "Don't forget, Your Highness also told us that there is no so-called neutrality in politics except for friends and enemies, and those who have an ambiguous attitude are likely to be potential dangers. ”

"You... You're a strong word! Lu Xiang had red ears and equators.

Seeing that the two of them were arguing with Yu Lie, Yue Jing frowned and shouted angrily in a low voice: "Presumptuous! ”

Lu Xiang and Xu Zhengchong were both shocked, and then they suddenly woke up, and turned their heads to see Yang Yi looking at the two of them with a smile.

The two hurriedly bowed down: "I will wait for the gaffe, I hope His Highness will forgive my sins." ”

Yang Yi waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just a matter of expressing your own opinions." The two of you have been traveling all the way, so let's go and drink two glasses of wine and rest. ”

"Your Highness.." The two wanted to say more, but when they saw Yue Jing glaring angrily, they had to give up.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The two of them bowed, and entered the banquet to drink and talk with people they knew.

"Your Highness..."Seeing the two leaving, Yue Jing wanted to speak and stopped.

Yang Yi didn't look back, and while bowing back with the guests who came to salute, he asked softly without a trace: "What is the situation with them?" ”

Yue Jing said in a low voice: "Lu Xiang and Xu Zhengchong have been very capable since they were in charge, and the stability of the Great Yue Kingdom in recent years has an inseparable relationship with them. But... However, perhaps because the two are still young and inexperienced, there are differences in the idea of controlling the court of the Great Yue Kingdom. ”

"Huh? Let's talk about it. Yang Yi asked with interest.

"Xu Zhengchong was born in a military and martial arts family, although he has his own Xi Wen, but the potential temperament in his bones is relatively tough, and he thinks that the power of thunder should be used to control the Great Yue Kingdom, which is quite a bit of the taste of those who follow me and those who oppose me die. In the past few years, Xu Zhengchong asked the dark envoy and the military to help him get rid of many old ministers of the Great Yue Kingdom, including not only old ministers who missed their old dynasty, but also many new ministers who had a moderate attitude and remained neutral. ”

Yang Yi still nodded with a smile on his face, and did not express his opinion on what Xu Zhengchong did, but continued to ask, "What about Lu Xiang?" ”

Yue Jing replied: "Lu Xiang is just the opposite of Xu Zhengchong's opinion, he thinks that if he wants to fundamentally control the Great Yue Kingdom, he should maintain friendly relations with the local officials of the Great Yue Kingdom, and try to use his interests to win over some neutrals and even rebels, so that they can stand in the camp of our Shuzhong, so he is more opposed to Xu Zhengchong's profiteering methods. ”

Speaking of this, Yue Jing glanced at Yang Yi and added: "However, according to the report of the Five Classics Yamen and my secret observations, these two people are still sincere to His Highness, and they have no second thoughts. ”

Yang Yi smiled and nodded, "How did you deal with it?" ”

Yue Jing smiled a little embarrassedly: "I am a martial artist, where do I understand the affairs of the government, as long as they have no bad intentions, I will not interfere without permission." However, I sent the matter back to Shuzhong before and asked the military advisor. ”

"What do drunken maniacs say?"

Yue Jing was a little puzzled: "The military advisor didn't say anything, just asked me to invite the two of them to have a drink, and then gave them a bamboo tube with only two sections and an empty middle." ”

"A bamboo tube with two bamboo knots hollowed?" Yang Yi touched his chin and said with interest: "Interesting..."

Yue Jing said: "I don't know what the military advisor is trying to do, but the strange thing is that since then, the relationship between Xu and Lu has eased a lot, although there are many-for-tat confrontations with few words on weekdays, but once the matter is decided, the two of them will work together to complete it, and the effect is very good." ”

Yue Jing looked at Yang Yi and wondered, "Your Highness, what method did the military advisor use?" ”

Yang Yi smiled: "It's very simple, the drunken maniac is to tell the two of them that only by removing the bamboo knots in the bamboo tube, can the two bamboo tubes be unimpeded, which is a metaphor that the two of them must collude to make a difference." ”

Yue Jing's eyes widened and said, "It's that simple? ”

Yang Yi said with a smile: "Lao Yue, this literati all say that it is sour, and it is easy to treat the matter of the tip of the horn as a backbone. However, literati also have shortcomings, that is, the more complex things are, the more they like to ponder, and once they think through them, they will naturally agree more. That is to say, if you bluntly and forcefully ask them not to fight among themselves, it will definitely backfire, and if you change the bend a little bit, let them figure it out by themselves, and it will naturally be transparent. ”

Yue Jing listened to it with a confused brain, and shook his head with a wry smile.

Yang Yi patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "There is a lot of knowledge here, you go back and think slowly." ”

Yue Jing shook his head in disgust: "Forget it, I think it's more suitable for me to get a red knife into a white knife on the battlefield, and it doesn't hurt my brain." ”
