451, Going to Dongting in person, Bai Gui's poison plan (please complete the order)
"Sanniang, please tell me more about the character of your father and your uncle. Otherwise, even if I meet the Dragon King of Dongting or the Dragon King of Qiantang and speak sincerely,... if I say something wrong, I will regret it.
It’s too late.”
Bai Gui paused and asked.
He knew that Lord Jingyang's perception was blocked by Taoist Zheng's magic. Now that Taoist Zheng had not sent a message to him to leave, it meant that he did not have to leave in such a hurry.
The more information you have, the more confidence you can adapt to changes.
Moreover, as he said, the Jingyang Dragon King's lineage was wrong about the three dragon girls, but who knows if the Dongting Dragon Lord or the Qiantang Dragon Lord are the kind of family members who want to save face and suffer the consequences.
Because the family scandal cannot be publicized, this matter was reduced to a major issue and trivial matter was reduced to nothing. The three dragon girls were allowed to continue to suffer in Jingyang.
"Water thrown out by a married daughter."
Bai Gui explained.
He thought for a while and then added, "The Yan can cut down the tree, but the officials of heaven can cut it down."
The three dragon girls are now asking him to run thousands of miles to Dongting in Wudi carrying a blood letter, in order to impress the Dragon King of Dongting or the Dragon King of Qiantang and let them come to save him.
This can certainly be regarded as "famous teachers".
But whether this is a small matter or a big deal depends entirely on what the Dongting Dragon Lord thinks. Talking about a small matter, it is just that the daughter-in-law was slightly punished by her father-in-law, which is not a big deal. Talking about a big deal, the majestic Dongting Dragon Girl was imprisoned by the Jing River by a spell.
Doing a job like shepherding is an insult to the Dongting people.
Therefore, in this case, the initiative lies in the hands of Dongting Longjun, not in the hands of him and the three dragon girls. Whether the letter can save the three dragon girls remains to be seen.
Now Bai Gui is asking about the characters of the Dragon Lord of Dongting and the Dragon King of Qiantang, firstly to facilitate his response, and secondly, to be more confident when acting as a lobbyist to persuade the Dragon Lord of Dongting and the Dragon King of Qiantang.
Yan can cut down the vine, which is an allusion.
During the Warring States Period, Shen Tong asked Mencius, can the Yan State be attacked? Mencius replied, "Yes, the King of Yan State, Kuai, privately gave the title of Zen to his son without the emperor's consent, and the son could not accept the throne from the Yan State without the emperor's consent."
Kuai Na will inherit the throne. Now that the Yan State is unruly, of course it can be attacked.'
Later, the state of Qi attacked the state of Yan, destroyed the state of Yan, and captured its territory. So someone asked Mencius, "Do you encourage the state of Qi to attack the state of Yan?" Mencius said there was no such thing, and Shen Tong just asked me, "Can the state of Yan do it?"
You can attack. My answer is that the Yan State has no way, so you can attack it. But the country that attacks the Yan State must be a "celestial official", that is, the country recognized by the Emperor of Zhou, and accepts the emperor's will to attack the Wudao State.
Yan. That is, "it can be cut down by the heavenly officials."
Now Bai Gui directly said to Sanlongnu, "Yan can cut down the tree, and the heavenly officials can cut it down." The implication of this sentence is: First, I will be a lobbyist, and when I go to your mother's house to speak,
, turned this matter into a big deal with his clever tongue, and made Dongting Longjun Master famous, and rescued you back. Both of them, now that the water vein of Jinghe Dragon King is in trouble with you, you are the original
If your daughter-in-law has any evidence against the Dragon King of Jinghe or Lord Jingyang, hand it over to him and he will directly convict the Dragon King of Jinghe...
"This..., let me think about it carefully."
After hearing what Bai Gui said, Sanlongnu felt that it was reasonable. The Dragon Lord of Dongting did treat her daughter well, but after so many years, this "ugly thing" was involved again, and the attitude of the Dragon Lord of Dongting, she
Previously, there was a certain degree of certainty that Dongting Longjun would save her daughter.
But when Bai Gui said this, I felt a little uneasy in my heart.
Can't afford to gamble.
Her beautiful eyes moved for a moment, and she took a serious look at Bai Gui. She felt more and more that Bai Gui was not simple.
A few simple sentences not only showed his own knowledge, but also analyzed the matter clearly and thoroughly.
Bai Gui held the plain white folding fan and nodded.
The purpose of what he said was not simply this.
To send a message from a thousand miles is indeed to show kindness to the dragon of Dongting. But to send a message from a thousand miles, you are just doing the work of a messenger. Being a messenger is certainly a kind thing, but how can you be a lobbyist or a diplomatic envoy to the three dragon girls?
The kindness given by the Dragon Lord of Dongting is even greater.
Even if there is no chance, he will create opportunities.
"A three-inch tongue is stronger than a million soldiers. One person's argument is more important than the treasure of nine tripods." - "Warring States Policy: Eastern Zhou Dynasty".
"My uncle, the Dragon King of Qiantang, has a bad temper and is very fond of the slave family. If he heard that the slave family was imprisoned here, he would definitely be furious and would not worry about trivial matters. But my father has a calm personality..."
The three dragon girls bowed to Bai Guiguan and then said.
When she looked at Bai Gui, her eyes had a different look than before.
"As for the evidence of the crimes of the Dragon King of Jinghe and Lord Jingyang, although there are some minor crimes, these minor crimes are not harmful. I will write it down to you now."
she said again.
…
"A good disciple, but he has become a disciple?"
"Looking at the look on that little lady's face, the poor Taoist knew that the matter was almost done."
When Bai Gui left the shepherd's land of the Three Dragon Girls, Taoist Zheng's usually stern face now had a hint of joy as he said.
He cast a spell to block the perception of Lord Jingyang and the sailors. He used a lot of magic power, but he had no time to eavesdrop on what Bai Gui and the three dragon girls said. He only saw the movements and expressions of the two of them.
"The three dragon girls asked me to pass a message to Dongting to relieve her danger."
"As for whether the three dragon girls are attracted to me or not, I don't know for the time being, but I guess she is interested in me."
Bai Gui replied smoothly.
Taoist Zheng said happily: "As expected, you are born with a good skin, and your wife can seduce you. If you save the Dragon Girl of Dongting now, she will definitely fall in love with you..."
The two talked for a few more words.
In order to prevent the Dragon Lord of Dongting from becoming suspicious, Taoist Zheng ordered Bai Gui to ride a fast horse and take a boat to Dongting Lake. He was not allowed to use Taoist magic to be one step ahead of others.
Although Taoist Zheng only taught Bai Gui one animal-making technique, he still had some magical talismans.
About ten days passed.
Bai Gui hurriedly and slowly arrived at Dongting Lake.
Near Dongting Lake, there is a big orange tree called She Orange. This big orange tree stands tall and tall, with a vigorous and curved trunk and a red silk ribbon hanging on it that dances with the breeze.
Under the tree, there stood a shrine made of stone slabs, two or three feet wide and long.
Inside the shrine is the Water Dragon King.
Bai Gui followed the instructions of the three dragon girls, took off his belt, hung it on the treetop, and tapped the orange tree three times with his fingers.
From time to time, armored soldiers would come out of the shrine, and the small-sized people would turn into normal-sized people.
"I wonder why your distinguished guest wants to see the Dragon King?"
Soldier Jia asked.
Bai Guixin made up a random reason.
Jia Bing was not confused. After all, not many people dared to act arrogantly in front of Dongting Dragon Lord. He led Bai Gui to the Dongting water bank. As soon as his toes touched the water, the lake instantly split into two parts, revealing a downward staircase.
The underwater dragon palaces are all splendid pavilions.
Under the water, the ground is paved with precious stones and jade everywhere, and various exotic flowers and plants grow beside the road.
The armored soldier opened the door curtain made by Shuijing.
Bai Gui was introduced to the Lingxu Hall, which was specially designed to receive foreign visitors.
Bai Gui waited patiently.
After about an hour, a middle-aged Confucian scholar wearing purple clothes and a gold crown walked into the hall.
"Why did you come to my palace, little friend?"
asked the middle-aged Confucian scholar.
As soon as Bai Gui heard this, he knew that the person in front of him must be Dongting Longjun. He stood up from the seat made of purple jade, cupped his hands, and said: "My surname is Bai Minggui, and I am a scholar in Chang'an..."
He explained everything about the three dragon girls and handed over a blood letter.
When the Dragon King of Dongting saw this, he was also moved.
However, after he received the blood letter in his sleeve, he only felt sad. He only said that Bai Gui, a "foreign guest", had sent letters thousands of miles away and was so loyal. He also said that he had chosen the wrong marriage for Sanlongnu, which led to this incident. But that was not the case.
It didn't say how to deal with this matter.
Bai Gui was not confused either.
The water vein of Dongting and the water vein of Jinghe River are equivalent to two countries. Now the three dragon girls are imprisoned in Jingyang by the Dragon King of Jinghe River. Although it is miserable, it is not easy for the two countries to have diplomatic relations.
When the Dragon King of Dongting heard this, he became furious and went to Jinghe to snatch his daughter back.
But he listened to the three dragon girls' dictation and knew that Dongting Longjun was prudent in dealing with things and had a calm personality. It would never be possible for Dongting Longjun to do such a "pleasant" thing by himself.
"Inform the Dragon Queen about this."
Dongting Longjun pondered for a while and said.
The clam maid beside him was about to accept the order and walk out of the palace.
Bai Gui's eyes flashed and he understood something. He walked out and said: "Now the third lady is not worried about her life, she is just doing something humiliating for the time being. If the king reports to the Dragon Queen, it will only make one more person sad."
"In your opinion, it's better not to tell the Dragon Queen about this yet."
He never expected that the Dragon Lord of Dongting was also a cunning guy. It seemed reasonable and reasonable to report this matter to the Dragon Queen. After all, the daughter had been wronged and it was impossible not to let the mother-in-law know about it.
But solving the matter and then letting the Dragon Queen know about it is not the same thing as not solving the matter and letting the Dragon Queen know about it.
If Dongting Dragon Lord really wants to solve this matter, according to the strength of the immortal god, it will definitely be solved in half a day at most.
"When the Dragon Queen knows that her daughter has been wronged, she will definitely ask the Dragon Lord of Dongting to find a way to save her, but the Dragon Lord of Dongting will definitely shirk the matter. After all, the Dragon King of Jinghe is not as good as the Dragon King of Dongting, but they are all Dragon Kings of the same place.
, not much worse."
"The Dragon Queen will definitely be sad when she sees this. This can be used to lead to the Dragon King of Qiantang. The Dragon King of Qiantang and the Dragon King of Dongting are brothers. The Queen of the Dragon is sad. This matter cannot be hidden from the Dragon King of Qiantang. The Dragon King of Qiantang has a violent personality and has been hurt by his elder brother.
'Favour', in this way..."
Bai Guixin thought.
This Dragon King of Qiantang is quite pitiful, being tricked by his own eldest brother.
"oh?"
Dongting Longjun raised his eyebrows and glanced at Bai Gui, slightly surprised.
He didn't think Bai Gui had seen through his plan. If he said he didn't love his daughter, it would definitely be a lie. But as the Dragon King of the land, he had many constraints, and he couldn't really risk everything to save his daughter.
With a little strategy, you can achieve your goal without getting hurt.
The plan was perfect.
"You have a plan that may solve the king's urgent need."
Bai Gui cupped his hands.
What happened to the Dragon King of Qiantang has nothing to do with him. But when he came to Dongting, he didn't just want to receive this credit. Moreover, he heard from the three dragon girls that the Dragon King of Qiantang had a bad temper and had hurt people. If he really asked the Dragon King of Qiantang to save him, he had nothing to do with him.
Three Dragon Girls, when the people suffer, it will also reduce his merits, and the gain will not be worth the loss.
"What's the plan?"
The Wonderful Way of the Dragon Lord in Dongting.
"Jingyang Lord is the second son of the Dragon King of Jinghe River, and he is favored by the Dragon King of Jinghe River and the Dragon Queen. But the Dragon King of Jinghe River also has his eldest son. Now that Lord Jingyang has committed something, Prince Jinghe will definitely know about it."
"The king is worried about the diplomatic relations between the two countries, so he does not dare to issue political orders lightly. You know this."
Bai Gui complimented the Dragon Lord of Dongting, and then said: "There is a proverb among the people that the people love the youngest son, and the heavenly family loves the eldest son. Now the Dragon King of Jinghe dotes on Lord Jingyang, which is a way to create chaos."
"Your Majesty, if you want to take back the Third Lady, all you need is a plan."
"The king sent an envoy to invite the prince of Jinghe to a banquet. He said that when he was choosing a husband, the Jinghe River was not small, so how could he marry a noble daughter? It was nothing more than the Dragon King of Jinghe's promise in the past that he would give up the throne to Lord Jingyang."
"In this way, the Prince of Jinghe thought to himself that he must have expected that the king already knew about the imprisonment of his beloved daughter. The king can use this to push the boat forward... If the Prince of Jinghe wants to keep his position as the prince, he will definitely think that Lord Jingyang has "lost his morality".
"To launch an attack, and at the same time, in order to seek foreign aid, I will also send Sanniangzi back to Dongting..."
He said slowly.
No matter how strong a fortress is, it can only be breached from the outside.
"Okay, okay!"
When the Dragon Lord of Dongting heard Bai Gui's plan, his eyes suddenly brightened. He said "good words" three times and praised: "Without a single soldier, we can cause civil strife in Jingyang's water veins and send Sanniang back to Dongting."
"You are a scholar, if a king uses you, he will be in great trouble. If you are not used, the court will be overthrown."
"If you are here, the country will be in peace and order. If you are not there, the world will be in chaos."
Dongting Longjun shook his head and commented.
The reason why he married Long Nu to Lord Jingyang that day was really not that much. He just saw that Lord Jingyang was handsome and talented. After marrying off, his daughter would have a better life with her own prestige, and she would definitely not be as good as Jingyang.
What promise did the River Dragon King make for this?
But if he told Prince Jinghe directly, Prince Jinghe would have to believe it even if he didn't believe it.
Is there any reason in the world for a deposed prince to survive?!
"Your Majesty, you praise me."
"You are a Confucian scholar. All you have learned is from books and some pointers. Your Majesty does not find it objectionable. You are already extremely grateful. You do not deserve such comments from Your Majesty."
Bai Gui said modestly.
He has knowledge from several worlds, and it is not difficult to decide on a small plan.
The Dragon Lord of Dongting laughed a few times when he heard this and did not comment.
This is just Bai Gui's modest words. If he takes it seriously, it will become a joke.
However, Bai Gui's strategy has also been mentioned in his heart. The reason why he has many worries is because taking action personally will involve many things and may even violate heaven's rules. But now that Bai Gui has proposed a strategy to him, he does not have to give it up.
A soldier can achieve his goal by just using his mind and scheming.
Not everyone can come up with such a method, which is so miraculous.
"Send an invitation to Prince Jinghe to come to Dongting for a banquet."
Dongting Longjun made a decisive decision immediately.
Although he wanted to use Qiantang Dragon King, his brother, he would not use it if he could. Bai Gui's strategy was better.
"Also, don't tell the Dragon Queen about this for the time being, lest she be sad and reveal the secret to my brother."
