As for Cheng Yan's "go further" of Su Qi, Emperor Jingfeng understood what he meant.

No matter which generation it is, even when the Su family is dormant and most infamous, they still stick to the northern defense line. The Tatars were warlike and ferocious, and the average general did not have the courage and strength to resist.

Within the four realms, there can be multiple candidates for the generals in other places, but in the northern Xinjiang, the descendants of the Su family are indispensable.

Almost every generation of Dingguo Gong has been the chief soldier of one of the nine important towns. Su Qi is currently the deputy chief soldier of Xuanfu Town, and the reason why he had the word "deputy" at the beginning was because he was young and his achievements were difficult to convince the public.

Now that he has been on the border for seven years, whether it is his age or military achievements, he can afford to take on the position of an upright general soldier - just one opportunity away.

Cheng Yan said well, going to the southeast to help Shen Baiyi resist the Japanese is this opportunity.

When Cheng Yan said Su Qi's name before, Emperor Jingfeng was deeply jealous in his heart, and many suspicious thoughts flashed. But after careful consideration, he actually found that Cheng Yan was right, and Su Qi was indeed the best candidate.

Cheng Yan has been by his side for so long, knowing how jealous he is of the Su family, but he still recommended Su Qi, why?

Guy Cheng Yan figured out his thoughts, he only needed to give a few simple reasons, and he didn't need to say much about the rest, he could figure it out himself.

After Cheng Yan finished talking about his reasons, Emperor Jingfeng thought a lot, and his thoughts turned around a thousand times, but in fact, it was only a short moment. Even experienced people such as Fang Shu, Gu Yuanhui and others couldn't maintain their composure under the pressure of Emperor Jingfeng, but Cheng Yan did.

Cheng Yan knew Emperor Jingfeng too well, he knew what words Emperor Jingfeng would be suspicious of, and he also knew that Emperor Jingfeng could figure out this logic, and finally dispelled his doubts. Therefore, he did not need to say much, nor did he need to be afraid.

Looking at Cheng Yan, who looked calm, Emperor Jingfeng panicked, and a chill rose up on his back for no reason.

It is said that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, as an emperor, his mind is penetrated by his subordinates, and every thought is accurately calculated, how terrible is this?

Ning Fuhai was secretly frightened when he watched from the side.

He is the old man next to Emperor Jingfeng, and he followed Emperor Jingfeng all the way from King Zhao to the Ninety-Five Emperor, even if it was him, he didn't dare to say that he could understand the emperor's mind.

Everyone knows that Emperor Jingfeng is suspicious, but to what extent is he suspicious, what is the difference between his doubts about different things, and where is his trust reflected...... There are many tricks in this, and it is difficult to grasp the proportions, and if you are not careful, you will provoke the disaster of killing yourself.

However, Cheng Yan was young, and he had only been with Emperor Jingfeng for a year or two, and he had guessed the emperor's heart, and he advanced and retreated appropriately.

Ning Fuhai thought silently: Right now, in the entire court, if you talk about understanding Your Majesty, Cheng Yan is called second, I'm afraid no one dares to call it first.

Such a person is a virtuous minister with one thought and a female cadre with one thought.

Emperor Jingfeng was afraid, but secretly rejoiced.

Fortunately, Cheng Yan was born in a poor family, and there was no support behind him, so he could only rely on him alone. If not, what is the difference between him luring Cheng Yan to his side and luring the tiger into the room?

Fortunately, he is still in control now.

Thinking like this, Emperor Jingfeng suppressed all kinds of emotions, and didn't want to be seen through by a young man in his twenties, so he deliberately put on an unfathomable imperial majesty, and muttered, "Well, I understand what you said. I have my own considerations for this, so you can go down first."

"Yes, Wechen is retiring."

Cheng Yan's expression remained unchanged, and he bowed respectfully and retreated.

A few days later, at dusk, Cheng was in the house.

Cheng Yan stood alone by the window of the study, looking at the gloomy sky outside, his face was dark and uncertain.

The door creaked open, and the strategist came in and walked up to him, and said in a low voice: "I just got the news, Your Majesty sent a secret order to go to Northern Xinjiang, which should be an order to transfer the Duke of Guo to take up a post in Zhejiang."

Cheng Yan raised his eyebrows, with contempt in his eyes: "The order is the order, and it's not a shameful thing, so you have to send it secretly." You say, what is he afraid of?"

The strategist smiled, "Maybe I'm afraid of you."

"Afraid of me? What are you afraid of me?"

"I'm afraid you've guessed what he's thinking."

Cheng Yan laughed sarcastically: "I've already guessed it, what's the point of him coming here now? It's a child's thing."

As he spoke, Cheng Yan turned his head out of the window and sighed leisurely: "Our Majesty, you have the ability to govern the government, and your brain is quite good, the only deficiency is that the suspicion is too heavy, so heavy that it confuses his eyes, and things are almost unrecognizable."

The strategist said, "Since ancient times, the emperor was suspicious, and it is normal for him to do this."

"Normal what? It was okay in the early decades, but now the four realms of Great Xia are rotten, and he is still bent on playing with power."

Cheng Yan's posture was casual, and his tone was light: "If he continues like this, he will finish the country sooner or later." Fortunately, I have reconciled it, otherwise if nothing else, there are not many good ministers in the court, and a large number of good ministers in the court will have to be forced to death by his suspicion first."

His words were very rebellious and arrogant, and he would have been frightened and inexplicable if he had changed others. However, the strategist just smiled indifferently, as if he was talking to Cheng Yan: "If you teach others to hear this, I'm afraid you will be beaten into a female cadre who confuses the Sacred Heart."

Cheng Yanhun didn't care: "The female cadre, the female cadre, what's the matter? It's just a false name, where can it compare to the power in your hands. Su Qi and Yun Jixin are not like this, one of them wants to serve and be loyal and assume the responsibility of the descendants of the Su family; One wants to do things in a down-to-earth manner for the benefit of the people."

"Then let them get their wish, anyway, I will be the wicked, and I will bear the infamy, I will stay in the capital and protect them from afar, and no one will be hurt."

As he spoke, the wind blew outside the window, and after a while, the rain fell densely.

Cheng Yan retracted his gaze, landed on the feet of the strategist beside him, and said with a little worry: "The weather is bad again, your feet always have attacks on rainy days, are these two days okay?"

The advisor lowered his eyes and smiled, "It's okay, Lord Lao cares."

Cheng Yan sighed: "You and I are fellow villagers, our roots are all grown in the same place, and we used to treat each other as equals, so why do you want to be so separated from me?"

A gloom flashed in the strategist's eyes, and he said with a wry smile: "My hope for the imperial examination has been cut off, and I have no shame to go back to my hometown to meet my father and mother, and I dare not recognize you as a fellow countryman. When I was desperate and desperate, it was You, my lord, who saved me and gave me dignity and dignity."

"There are two talents in my hometown, you and Master Gu, and there are many honors for my relatives and friends, I am a wasted person, how dare I tarnish the name of my hometown? It is right to be polite and respectful to you."

Cheng Yan heard this, the sorrow between his eyebrows deepened, he didn't say anything, turned around again, and looked out the window.

The strategist consciously retreated, limped to the door, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Gu Yunqiao coming to Cheng Yan with a pastry.

"Mrs. Gu."

Gu Yunqiao bowed his head at him: "Mr. Bai."

Bai Xingjia smiled slightly, and turned sideways to get out of the way: "Your Excellency is inside, you can go in and find him."

Gu Yunqiao nodded, his eyes fell on his feet, and he said two more words: "The road is slippery on rainy days, Mr. Bai's legs and feet are inconvenient, so be more careful when walking."

"Okay, thank you, Mrs. Gu."
