Chapter 58
It seems that although Duan Foyin is intelligent, he is just a fledgling in terms of experience, especially between men and women.
Feng Dao took a deep breath again, since he had already figured out the reason for Baili Wuji's refusal, then he would be able to find a way to solve the problem.
"I'm at least seventy percent sure that I will let the princess enter the palace and get what I want." Feng Dao said calmly.
Duan Foyin was overjoyed in her heart, but she immediately thought of Feng Dao's current situation, could this old man who had already been unable to protect himself really be as sure as he said?
Even if he is really sure, what price will he pay to repay him?
Duan Foyin thought about it and slowly promised: "Feng Xiang rest assured, if it is really as you said, Foyin can enter the palace smoothly, Foyin swears that he will do his best to defend Feng Xiang." ”
Feng Dao smiled when he heard this, he didn't need to get rid of his crimes, on the contrary, he had to bear all the responsibility, for the "filial sons and grandsons" under his door, for the emperor, for the Ming Kingdom, and even for himself.
Although Feng Dao is sleek, circling the sea for decades, but he grew up reading the book of saints, the way of Confucius and Mencius, expensive a word of etiquette, Feng Dao still has a strong hope in his heart, after he leaves, when future generations will make a final decision for him, they will say that he is a loyal minister, not a slanderer, a minister.
Feng Dao was a little sad, in the past few decades of officialdom, he has seen too many emperors, and now he can't remember the faces of the emperors in front of him, and the current Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, this is Feng Dao's first self-chosen king, Feng Dao at that time, he was glad that he could meet a British lord in his old age, and he hoped that this time he could start from the beginning.
But Feng Dao didn't expect that things would turn out like this.
Feng Dao knew. His crime was not to instigate this incident, this incident was just a mistake for Feng Dao. Rather than being evil, Feng Dao, as one of the two ruling ministers of the Ming State, had the right to summon officials to oppose or even protest against a certain decree, even if it was the will of a hundred miles of unscrupulous.
Therefore, Feng Dao's sin is not here.
His sin was just on the wrong side, hindering the metabolism and rebirth of the Ming Kingdom.
To put it simply, he hindered the development of history.
The old and the new alternate. It is the law of nature's eugenics and inferiority, and whoever stands in the way is evil.
Feng Dao understands this truth. Even better than anyone else.
But he can't let go, because there are too many people involved, and too many interests are involved.
So much so that it can only be washed with blood.
To use a simple analogy, the Ming Kingdom has been circulating gold and silver bills since then. And Feng Dao is one of the two prime ministers of the Ming Kingdom. The imperial court invested a lot of money and materials to build official roads, and officials did not need to be greedy for ink, as long as he stayed part of the funds in the money village for three months, the interest generated by it alone could be calculated in hundreds of thousands of taels.
This kind of interest link intertwined with invisible power and tangible interests forms a solid interest group, and Feng Dao is the most critical node in it.
Because of him, he has the right.
Power is above money, and power must be rich. Money doesn't necessarily mean power.
At some point, money is just a piece of paper in front of power. Paper that can be wiped out in an instant.
Therefore, the first thing that interest groups have to defend is rights.
Feng Dao's power, as well as the power in the hands of his subordinate officials.
With power comes everything.
And the new group of officials directly undermined the power in the hands of these old ministers, which is the real reason why the two are incompatible.
Feng Dao knows too well, he has experienced five dynasties and eleven monarchs, if he doesn't understand this, then he is a fool.
Feng Dao was naturally not stupid, so he knew that he had to die.
His death is a strategy, a strategy that can be put to death and then reborn.
This is a life-and-death "power war", but the opponent is too strong, and only by his own death can he give the opponent a powerful blow emotionally, Feng Dao knows Baili Wuji's temperament too well.
If he doesn't take the initiative to die, then Baili Wuji, as an extrajudicial favor, will not attack him, which not only preserves the feelings of the monarch and ministers, but also makes it easier to attack Feng Daomen's officials in the future.
If you don't kill Feng Dao, you have already given Feng Dao face and left affection, so it is natural to kill a few officials under Feng Dao.
It's a swap.
If Feng Dao was not old and had a long life, Feng Dao would never choose to die.
But now it's different, he is old and his life is about to end, and he has exchanged the lives and interests of so many officials with so many years of life, Feng Dao feels that it is worth it.
It's not about feelings, it's just business.
Feng Dao didn't really think that the "filial sons and grandsons" under his door were so filial to him, but he needed to do so.
One is famous, and he who dies for many people will always be praised.
Second, it is still for the sake of fame, Feng Dao knows that in this life, or even in the next life, he will not be able to win Baili Wuji, so now, with the remaining years of life, he may be able to win Baili Wuji once.
It's a gamble, a gamble with your life.
Feng Dao gambled on the softness of Baili Wuji's temperament.
Therefore, when Duan Foyin promised to exonerate him, Feng Dao smiled.
Xiaoduan Buddha's voice is not worthy of the name, but under such a reputation, he still can't figure out the truth of this matter.
Feng Dao shook his head with a smile, and muttered softly in his heart, he is still a child after all.
Feng Dao restrained his smile, he still reluctantly stroked Duan Susu's hair, and said: "Old decay and twilight, princess don't bother, if this matter is done, I hope that the princess will remember this incense and make a way for these people under the old decay to make a living, so enough." ”
Feng Dao's words revealed the meaning of farewell, which shocked the Duan sisters, especially Duan Susu, who was half-squatting under Feng Dao's knees, her eyes were already overflowing with tears, she looked at Feng Dao with tearful eyes, and stopped talking.
It's not that Duan Susu doesn't want to persuade, but he can't persuade him.
Death is not terrible, what is terrible is a person who is determined to die, and talks about death with people very plainly, as if it is someone else's business, and it has nothing to do with him.
It's a creepy feeling.
Especially for these two young girls, it is thrilling.
Duan Foyin thought that Feng Dao was afraid of the emperor's accountability and cut himself off, which made her very puzzled, with Feng Dao sitting in the position of prime minister for so many years, how could he think of a desperate road so easily?
Even if Feng Dao is guilty of the current matter, but with Feng Dao's official position, as long as he is not involved in the rebellion, it should not be a capital crime anyway.
Feng Dao saw Duan Foyin's incomprehension, but he didn't want to explain, he knew that with Duan Foyin's intelligence, as long as she died, the emperor's countermeasures would appear, and she would be able to figure it out.
Feng Dao gently raised his left hand and motioned for Duan Susu to get up, he didn't have much time and energy to plan for the Duan sisters, because as long as the emperor's disposition was announced, his death would become worthless. (To be continued......)
