After hearing the voice, Dong Sheng looked around and saw that the speaker was a young man who had come with Shao Fang. He was in his twenties, with fair skin, sharp eyebrows and tiger eyes, a high nose, and handsome appearance. Even though he was wearing ordinary people's clothes, he still looked handsome.
Revealing a unique temperament, he was wondering about this young man's identity just now, but he was too shy to ask. Now he just found the topic and asked: "This is..."
Tang Yin just slightly arched his hands and said, "Here is the head of Tianyuan County in Lower Wind Country, Tang Yin!"
"Ah?" Dong Sheng, who was so calm and mature, couldn't help but change his face after hearing Tang Yin's self-introduction of family status, and asked with surprise: "You... you are the commander-in-chief of the Tianyuan Army, Tang Yin?"
"That's right!" Tang Yin put his hands behind his back and said with a smile.
After getting Tang Yin's confirmation, Dong Sheng felt it was incredible. Tang Yin was not in Feng Country, so how could he be in Mo Country? Why was he with His Highness Shao Fang again? What on earth was going on? Now even a shrewd person like Dong Sheng was fooled.
I was confused and couldn't figure out what was going on.
Shao Fang now regarded Dong Sheng as one of his own, and he said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, Prime Minister Dong, brother Tang and I have become a blood ally!" As he spoke, he told Tang Yin's intention of sneaking into Mo Country, as well as all the discussions he had with him.
I told Dong Sheng exactly what happened.
After Dong Sheng heard this, he suddenly realized that it turned out that Tang Yin came to win over Mo Guo and join forces with him to fight against Ning. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but take a breath. When the relationship between Mo and Ning was so close, Tang Yin dared to personally
Sneaking into Mo Country and going directly to see Shao Fang, the second prince, his courage and courage alone are far beyond anyone's comparison.
Before Dong Sheng could answer, Tang Yin stepped forward and said quietly: "The ambition of Ning State is very great, and the national power is also very strong. Once Zhong Tian is allowed to take the position of Peng King, it will be like the entire Feng State being swallowed up by Ning State, overturning the nest."
Is Xia'an finished? If Feng Kingdom is destroyed by Ning, then Ning Kingdom will point its finger at your country."
Dong Sheng stared at Tang Yin and pondered his words silently. What Tang Yin said was exactly what he was worried about, but he also understood that Tang Yin took the risk to come to Mo Country not to help his side, but for himself, and he could only win over
Only by peacefully and stabilizing the Mo Kingdom can the Tianyuan Army under Tang Yin defeat Zhong Tian and seize the Feng Kingdom.
Judging from the current situation, the independent Feng State is more beneficial to the Mo State than the Feng State being annexed by the Ning State. Assisting Tang Yin's Tianyuan Army is equivalent to saving himself. Thinking of this, Dong Sheng has completely calmed down from his surprise and pondered for a moment.
, he smiled leisurely, raised his hands to Tang Yin and said: "It turns out to be Mr. Tang, disrespectful, disrespectful!"
Tang Yin returned the courtesy and said with a smile: "Mr. Dong, you're welcome!"
"Have you made a blood alliance with His Highness?"
"Yes!"
"It will be beneficial to you to form an alliance with His Highness!" Dong Sheng said with a smile. Supporting Tang Yin is beneficial to Mo State, so he will naturally support it, but that does not mean that he does not want to squeeze benefits from Tang Yin.
Tang Yin was a very smart man. When he heard Dong Sheng's words, he immediately realized that the old man had bad intentions. He smiled and said: "Your Highness' alliance with me is not only beneficial to me, but beneficial to both parties. After all, there are
It is much better for Feng State to contain Ning State than for your country to face Ning State alone, Mr. Dong, what do you think?"
Before Dong Sheng could answer, Tang Yin said again: "And in order to show my sincerity and put His Highness on the throne of King Mo, I have promised to give His Highness a lot of money to win over the ministers in the DPRK!"
"Isn't this enough?!" Dong Sheng is a competent minister. His first consideration is not himself, but the entire country of Mo. He said with a smile: "Even if His Highness does not get a lot of money from Master Tang, I can still make it happen."
His Highness will become the crown prince until he becomes King Mo."
When Shao Fang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, while Tang Yin and Zong Yuan frowned secretly, muttering in their hearts that Dong Sheng was difficult to deal with.
Tang Yin smiled and asked: "In the opinion of Prime Minister Dong, how can it be enough?"
Dong Sheng said: "If you can really defeat Zhong Tian, I will do my best to prevent the king from sending troops to Feng and assist Mr. Tang in annihilating Zhong Tian's forces. In return, I hope that after Mr. Tang aspires to be the King of Feng, he will give up his hegemony to Feng.
My country is Mo!"
Baguan is the southern gateway of Feng Kingdom, and its importance is similar to that of Tongmen. However, there has been no war between Feng and Mo for a long time, so Baguan is not so important. If Baguan is occupied by Mo Kingdom, Feng Kingdom will
It is tantamount to giving up the southern gateway to Mo State, just like one's own little tail is caught in the hands of Mo State, and will be controlled by Mo State in the future.
Tang Yin secretly clenched his fists and said: "Baguan has been the territory of our Feng Kingdom since ancient times. I'm afraid Dong Xiang is asking for it so forcefully. I'm afraid it's not an ally?" As he spoke, Tang Yin turned to look at Shao Fang, and from a certain point of view
In other words, Shao Fang is much easier to talk to than Dong Sheng.
Shao Fang also felt that Dong Sheng's request for Ba Pass from Tang Yin was a bit excessive at this time. From the bottom of his heart, he only cared about whether he could become the prince and the king of Mo State. As for Ba Pass, it was just a fortress.
It doesn't matter if it doesn't fall into his own hands. In addition, he is also very grateful to Tang Yin. The reason why he can win Dong Sheng to his side at this time is entirely due to Tang Yin. If Tang Yin did not allow him to visit Dong Sheng in person, if
Zongyuan didn't hold him back just now, but now he doesn't know what Dong Sheng is thinking!
Seeing Tang Yin looking at him, he chuckled dryly and said softly to Dong Sheng: "Prime Minister Dong, Brother Tang and I are already blood-based allies." He didn't say much, but just reiterated that he and Tang Yin were inseparable.
relationship between.
Dong Sheng sighed secretly, how could national affairs and the interests between countries be mixed with personal feelings? However, Shao Fang was willing to speak for Tang Yin, which allowed Dong Sheng to see another side of Shao Fang. He was not a repeater.
A free and cold-blooded person. He whispered: "Your Highness can see Ning Guo's ambition, isn't he afraid that Feng Guo will become another Ning Guo in the future?"
Shao Fang was stunned and looked at Dong Sheng with a frown.
With Tang Yin present, Dong Sheng couldn't speak too directly. He had never seen Tang Yin before, so he didn't think anything of this person. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he immediately became wary. Tang Yin was by no means an ordinary person, not to mention that he was single.
The courage to sneak into Mo Country and the fact that he prepared for a rainy day are far beyond the comparison of others. If Tang Yin becomes the Wind King, will it also pose a threat to Mo Country? All of these have to be considered. If it can be obtained
By dominating the pass, Mo State can advance and attack Feng State, and retreat and defend it. Even if Feng State has evil intentions, it still has to be wary of its own side.
After Shao Fang understood the meaning of Dong Sheng's words, he looked at Tang Yin, then at Dong Sheng, chuckled, and said, "Let's discuss this later!"
Tang Yin has no objection to this. As long as he does not dominate the pass now, the further back the better, it is best to wait until his side has completely eliminated Zhong Tian's forces before discussing.
Dong Sheng nodded helplessly. Now in front of Tang Yin, there were many things that were hard to explain clearly.
Both sides have their own agendas and concerns, but fortunately, both sides have the same goal, which is to find a way to push Shao Fang to the position of Prince Mo.
In Dong Sheng's words, competing for the crown prince requires not only gaining the support of ministers, but also inevitably using some shady means and tricks.
Shao Fang didn't understand what methods and tricks he was talking about, and asked in confusion: "What does Mr. Dong mean..."
"Be close and far away, be close and distant!" Dong Sheng said with a smile: "If you want to change your decision, you must first alienate the relationship between your Majesty and His Highness Shao Bo, or even make your Majesty have a relationship with you.
His Highness Shao Bo is jealous!"
"Oh?" Shao Fang breathed in, rolled his eyes, and murmured: "How can this be done?"
Dong Sheng smiled and asked: "Your Highness, what do you think your Majesty is most afraid of happening between the princes?"
Shao Fang shook his head and said respectfully: "Please give me some advice, Mr. Dong!"
Dong Sheng said: "What you fear most is that princes form cliques for selfish ends, kill each other, or even plot to kill the king to seize the throne!"
Shao Fang didn't understand what this had to do with Shao Bo. Although he didn't know his brother well, he did know a thing or two. Shao Bo was as timid as a needle nose and kind-hearted. Even if he was beaten to death
He would not dare to kill the king, nor would he kill other princes.
Dong Sheng saw Shao Fang's thoughts and said, "Then what does Your Highness think is the biggest obstacle to His Highness Shao Bo becoming the Crown Prince now?"
Shao Fang shook his head.
Dong Sheng said: "It's the order! According to the order, His Highness is better than His Highness Shao Bo. It is a taboo to abolish the elder and establish the younger. This is also the reason why the emperor has not established a heir. If His Highness is unlucky... the old minister is just
Assuming that if His Highness unfortunately has an accident, then it is logical for His Highness Shao Bo to become the Crown Prince. Therefore, if something happens to His Highness, His Highness Shao Bo will be the most suspicious. Even if no real evidence can be found, Your Majesty will still suspect Shao Bo.
Suspicion and alienation have recently arisen on Your Highness’s head!”
When Shao Fang heard this, he felt as if his hut was open. Tang Yin and Zong Yuan on the side were secretly frightened. The right prime minister of Mo State was so deep in the city and his plans that it was staggering.
"What a brilliant idea! What a brilliant idea!" Shao Fang stood up excitedly and paced back and forth in the room, praising him repeatedly.
Dong Sheng smiled bitterly and said: "It's just that if you use this strategy, Your Highness will inevitably suffer from his flesh and blood!"
Shao Fang waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, as long as I can't die, it doesn't matter how much I am injured." After a pause, he asked again: "When does Mr. Dong think it is best to act according to the plan?"
Dong Sheng said: "The sooner the better, the sooner the better."
"Just follow Xiang Dong!"
Shao Fang listened to Tang Yin's words and came to visit Dong Sheng, which was a great success. Not only did he successfully win Dong Sheng to his side, but the latter also came up with a plan for him to alienate the relationship between King Mo and Shao Bo.
On the way back home, Shao Fang thanked Tang Yin sincerely and said, "Thanks to Brother Tang for persuading me this time, otherwise, I would have missed Dong Xiang."
Tang Yin couldn't laugh or cry at this time. If he had known that Dong Sheng was such a powerful and difficult character, he would not have persuaded Shao Fang to come and win over this person.
