Chapter 103: Heart-to-Heart
A cool winter breeze blew on the clear water, and Gao Zhan, who was dressed in a big coat, was silent for a long time when he heard Chen Feng's words.
I don't know how much time has passed.
He suddenly turned around, grinned, and said very heartlessly: "Okay, get up, I already knew about this." ”
Chen Feng had already guessed that Gao Cheran had probably understood it clearly, but he still pretended to be extremely stunned, "My lord... Adults know? ”
"Don't leave it here,"
Gao Zhan said angrily: "Do you think that Your Majesty sent me to this Sword Northland to provide relief to the hungry and rectify the rule of officials?" ”
This sentence has already been said, Chen Feng naturally can't continue to pretend to be confused, it would be too fake.
Now that the matter of the imperial court's reduction of the feudal domain has basically been put on the surface, Gao Zhan has also knocked on the side before, and it is completely unreasonable for him to pretend to be confused, and today Chen Feng is here to express his position with Gao Zhan.
So he pretended to be surprised and said, "That's really the case." ”
Gao Zhan was stunned, "What is it?" ”
Chen Feng sat down and said: "Actually, I guessed a few days ago that if there is no other reason for the imperial history appointed by Your Majesty, how could you come to a small county town like Qingxi, and you have stayed for so long, I have actually thought that you should have come here for the matter of cutting the domain." ”
Yes, he's been in Qingxi for a long time, longer than he has been in Fucheng.
It is precisely because of this that Gao Zhan knows that Chen Feng is a smart person, a smart person like himself.
If Chen Feng was still pretending to be confused with him at this time, then he would have to wonder if Chen Feng had ulterior motives.
Hearing Chen Feng say this, he felt a lot more relieved, "So, what do you think about this matter?" Do you think the imperial court's policy of cutting feudal domains is right or wrong? ”
"I said Brother Gao, don't ask me about this kind of thing,"
Chen Feng said with a smile: "Whether it's right or wrong, how can I judge, I can only say, eat the monarch and be loyal to the king, just obey the order." ”
Gao Zhan chuckled, but instructed Jia Di next to him: "Go get a table and a banquet, I'm going to have a drink with Brother Xian today." ”
……
A table of sumptuous food was served, although this was not prepared at home, but Chen Feng was not polite at all.
Gao Zhan didn't move his chopsticks immediately, of course he didn't believe that Chen Fengzhen didn't have any ideas about cutting the domain, but he didn't ask any further, but said very directly: "Brother Xian, I haven't been treated much by you recently, and those novelties you have come up with, to be honest, it is eye-opening, and I am very impressed,"
"I really want to make you a friend, and I won't hide it from you now, this time I went south, and the main task was to cut the domain, and your teacher was too close to the king of Dingchuan, to tell you the truth, His Majesty was very worried about him."
"Come... Drinking," Chen Feng poured wine with a smile and said jokingly: "I really didn't expect that one day I would be able to climb the relationship of Gao Yushi when I was Chen. ”
Gao Zhan grabbed him and said solemnly: "Brother Xian, let me say it bluntly, King Dingchuan has a tough attitude, and his power is also quite strong, this matter is very likely to be unable to be resolved peacefully, Brother Wei must ask you, if your teacher stands in the wrong position at that time, what will you do?" ”
Chen Feng saw that he was serious, drank all the wine in the cup, ate the food again, and said: "Master Heaven and Earth, of course I understand, in fact, my teacher's attitude, I have already guessed, Mr. Tian in my house is actually specially arranged by my teacher by my side, and he is also worried that I am on the wrong side." ”
"How dare you say that to me?"
"Huh,"
Chen Feng looked at Gao Zhan with a smile while holding a wine glass, and said, "I've also thought about it these days, you come to my mansion every once in a while, not for the melons in the shed, but to see if I have anything to do with the King of Dingchuan,"
"Now that you dare to tell me this, I think you shouldn't have the intention of killing me, and you must have found out Mr. Tian's identity."
"Haha,"
The two wine glasses collided together, and Gao Zhan laughed loudly, "I knew that you were not simple, otherwise how could you clean up your two top bosses in just one year." ”
Chen Feng looked at the treacherous smile on his face and said with a smile: "Aren't you also an old fox, you have already seen it, and you didn't just watch us fight, in fact, when I came to Qingxi on the first day, I didn't have the heart to fight with them,"
"But with my identity, they don't believe me, and they do everything possible to put me to death, I'm just trying to protect myself, just like Gao Yushi came to Qingxi."
Hearing this, Gao Zhan quipped: "Oh, listen to what you mean, will my final fate be the same as Zhou Boqian Li Zhifeng?" ”
Chen Feng raised his eyes, pointed to a table of food and said, "Let me tell you, if it weren't for today's meal, you probably would end up like them." ”
"I'm glad I had the foresight,"
Gao Zhan arched his hand and said: "But I still have to thank the virtuous brother for not killing." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the hearty laughter came out of the pavilion, like an old friend who hadn't seen each other for many years and had not seen each other for a long time.
I don't know how much time has passed.
The two pots of wine were gone, and Gao Zhan put the topic on the right track, "Brother Xian, you should know why I watched you fight with Li Zhifeng without interfering, and you should also understand how important this place is in Qingxi." ”
Chen Feng ate peanuts and calmed down, "Listen to the meaning of the eldest brother, isn't he about to use force?" ”
"Even if you don't use force now, it's going to be soon,"
Gao Zhan Zhengse said: "Xixia Wutong Kaiyuan Sanfu is the three main roads from the north and south of the sword into the Central Plains, from west to east, there is An Guogong in the west, Your Majesty is more assured, and there is Jinzhou in the east,"
Only the middle line, Wutongwei has been in ruin for a long time, although there is still Chaoningwei in the south, but after all, this place is facing the king of Dingchuan, so His Majesty is very uneasy, not long ago His Majesty deliberately cut off the land of the three counties of the king of Jiaodong, and also wanted to see if the king of Dingchuan would mobilize troops and horses,"
"The result?" Chen Feng picked up a piece of pork knuckle and gnawed it.
"As a result, the king of Dingchuan did mobilize troops and horses, and the main direction of his deployment was Qingxi."
"So what?"
Chen Feng asked calmly: "What do you want me to do?" ”
Gao Zhan stared at him and said solemnly: "If the King of Dingchuan really has the intention of using force, you must coordinate the whole county of Qingxi and ensure that the post road is unblocked, only in this way can the imperial court stably deliver supplies, grain and grass to Chao Ningwei and quickly defeat the King of Dingchuan." ”
"You are now the spiritual pillar of the people of Qingxi, and I believe that this should not be difficult for you."
Chen Feng had expected it, but he was still very embarrassed and said: "Are you kidding, there are a lot of businessmen coming and going on this road in Qingxi, plus there is no money in the county, and the post road has not been repaired all year round. ”
Hearing the word money, Gao Zhan was in trouble.
Seeing Gao Zhan's sad face, Chen Feng thought of his actions of patrolling salt along the way, and knew that the current imperial court was also short of money, and said: "You said that you want to let the horses run, but you don't give the horses grazing, then no matter how great my ability is, it is impossible for the people to work in vain." ”
Gao Zhan was a little puzzled, "I know that building a post road may cost some money in stone and other aspects, but the people serve as conscription, which is the imperial court system, so it doesn't cost money." ”
"Hmph,"
Chen Feng snorted coldly, "I said Lord Yushi, Qingxi County has had many disasters and difficulties in the past two years, and now the people have not even turned over their own small families, and if you force them to serve in forced labor, you are not afraid of stirring up a civil uprising, and when the time comes, you are only afraid of complying with the will of the prince." ”
"You do have a point in saying that,"
Gao Zhan asked, "So, what can I do if Brother Xian has any?" ”
Chen Feng waited for his words, "I don't only have a way, I can also help the court add a lot of money, no... It's two great incomes, but I hope that Gao Yushi will grant me a small request. ”
