Chapter 633

Seeing that Niu Youdao frowned, he hurriedly added, "Master Dao, the feudal lords are obedient to the imperial court's decree. Even if the imperial court issued this decree, it doesn't make any sense. How can the feudal lords obey orders?"

Niu Youdao: "As long as the imperial court can issue this order, Nanzhou will have a way to make the princes obey the order."

Gao Jiancheng sighed, a little surprised and said: "Master Dao is so sure, can you tell me the reason?"

He came here to listen to his opinion and asked him to help find a solution, Niu Youdao didn't hide it from him, and revealed Meng Shanming's strategy of not suppressing the rebels but only suppressing the princes.

After Gao Jiancheng heard it, he slowly recollected it, and gradually considered the meaning in it, and his eyes gradually revealed a look of surprise, he stroked his beard and exclaimed: "Meng Shanming is indeed Meng Shanming, yes, the five-way reinforcements, Xu Jingyue, governor of Gongzhou , Governor of Tuzhou, An Xianzhao, Governor of Haozhou, Su Qitong, Governor of Fuzhou, Xin Mao, and Governor of Changzhou, Zhang Hu, are all Meng Shanming's former subordinates, all brought out by him. Clearly, it is difficult for others to wipe out the five people, Meng Shanming must be sure. It is really a pity..." Shaking his head and sighing, he looked regretful.

Niu Youdao: "Why is it a pity?"

Gao Jiancheng sighed: "If Meng Shanming could be used by the imperial court, how could Dayan be in the situation it is today, and the troubles in Yan's country have already been wiped out, but..." He shook his head again, "If the imperial court really uses his words, I'm afraid It's a problem instead."

Niu Youdao: "Because he is the former confidant of King Ning?"

Gao Jiancheng waved his hand slightly, "Master Dao, do you know why King Ning was defeated when he held the power of soldiers and horses in Yan State, and why he was not His Majesty's opponent? Without him, it is because he is too good at fighting. Except for the five governors just now, now he is defending the border with heavy troops Chen Jiu, the governor of Bozhou, and Wu Kangan, the governor of Qizhou, which one is not backed by the elders of the three major sects? Shao Dengyun, the governor of Beizhou, is an exception. Because of the treason, he got out of control, and the new vassals encountered such a thing again. Some people want to intervene There is no chance for the time being. Even in Nanzhou, it is because of the entanglement with His Majesty that people are waiting to see, and sooner or later someone will want to intervene."

Niu Youdao was thoughtful, he thought of Long Xiu, the owner of Xiaoyao Palace, who kept trying to make him marry Yi Shu.

Gao Jiancheng continued: "The elders of the three major sects also want to have the right to speak within the sect. Being able to control the situation in Yan State is the right to speak, and it is also a benefit. King Ning used to pacify the princes of Yan State. If you can fight, the feudal lords are at peace, who is offended?"

Niu Youdao said calmly: "I have offended a lot of high-level people inside the three major factions."

Gao Jiancheng: "That's exactly the case. King Ning's enthusiasm is indeed admirable, but can he still sit on the throne? Why did he have such a high voice at the beginning, but the one who ascends the throne is now? Even if Meng Shanming belongs to the court , the imperial court didn’t dare to use it! It’s a pity that you can’t use it if you leave it alone? This old man was also passionate about serving the country when he was young, and he had to face reality after repeated setbacks!”

Niu Youdao was silent. Today, he was really taught a lesson. He nodded and said: "Master Gao is indeed far-sighted, and I also understand what Mr. Gao means. However, there are some things that cannot be retreated. One step back is irreversible." , it’s up to man to open a road in the mountains and build a bridge in the water!”

Seeing that he still refused to give up, Gao Jiancheng took the teacup, sipped it slowly, and at the same time thought about it slowly. After a while, he slowly put down the teacup, "Gao Mou has some opinions, I don't know if Grandpa would like to Willing to listen."

Niu Youdao: "Master Gao's words are all good words. It's my luck to have the opportunity to listen to them, but it's okay to say."

This is not a lie, people who have reached the position of Gao Jiancheng, no matter whether it is knowledge or city government, will not speak easily, and usually they will not say so much to others.

Gao Jiancheng made an exception for the so-called saying too much, and he also deliberately showed his sincerity to Niu Youdao, hiding it for fear that Niu Youdao would think too much.

Gao Jiancheng: "Even if the rebellion can be suppressed, we have to wait. Now is not the time for Nanzhou to send troops. One has already said that some people want to consume the power of the practice world, and they will not easily let Nanzhou break the situation. Second, introduce Firstly, neither Han Song nor Zhao Guo will act rashly, so Dao Lord does not have to worry that Han Song will directly send troops to attack Yan now. Thirdly, enough time can be left for Nanzhou to prepare for the war. Fourthly, Now that the princes of all parties have not yet appeared on the stage, if they are not allowed to suffer defeat one by one, and Nanzhou will not be able to appear on the stage, only when the situation forces the three major factions and the imperial court to panic, can the Daoist have the right to negotiate conditions."

Niu Youdao listened and nodded slightly. Before, he didn't move because of the third point that the other party said. He didn't see other things so clearly. Now that the other party has explained the order and logic clearly, he gradually has a bottom line in his mind. . Question: "Master Gao, what do you mean, at that point, the court can amplify Sima's power to Prince Yongping?"

Gao Jiancheng waved his hand again, "Master Dao thinks too much, he would rather give it to a foreign thief than a slave! He will never give this power to the king of Yongping County. What Gao wants to ask is that Master Dao wants to quell the civil strife. Or do you want to take advantage of the situation to seize power?"

Niu Youdao: "It's good if you can have both, but if you can't have both, first calm down the civil strife and stabilize your position!"

Gao Jiancheng nodded: "Okay! Then you might as well be more patient and draw it slowly."

Niu Youdao: "I would like to hear your opinion."

Gao Jiancheng: "The power of Da Sima will not be given to the king of Yongping County no matter what. The three major factions can't force this point, and you and I can't do it. If it's only for countering rebellion, don't want Da Sima's power. Forget it, the situation has reached a certain point, and it shouldn't be a problem to have the power of a temporary counter-insurgency commander. What's more, even if you want the power of Da Sima now, the harm will outweigh the benefits, whether it is the current strength of Nanzhou or the current strength of Daoye , are not as big as the imperial court, and it will be difficult to hold them when they arrive, which will only cause trouble. Let's take a long-term view, as long as the rebellion can be successfully suppressed, it will bring people's aspirations, and the subsequent influence will be priceless. Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world. This is how Master Dao and Nanzhou will step up to the next level after they gain strength."

Niu Youdao pondered silently for a while, and suddenly said forcefully, "Okay! Just follow what Da Situ said!"

Gao Jiancheng laughed and heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, as long as he can listen to it, otherwise if he is really forced to get the power of the big Sima, he must be forced to death, it is impossible, what can he do? to do?

After the major event was finalized, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed, and Niu Youdao asked Gao Jiancheng for advice on some state affairs.

Fan Zhuan, who was in the audience, also smiled. He was busy in and out, and brought some food and wine. Gao Jiancheng was always hungry to accompany him. Before dinner, the host and guest were eating slowly in the study.

This conversation lasted until midnight. For Niu Youdao, such an opportunity was rare. Gao Jiancheng's insights were not usually accepted at the height he stood at. It really benefited Niu Youdao a lot and also benefited everyone. A better understanding of the situation in the country.

If it weren't for the fact that Jian Gao Jiancheng was getting older, and he was exhausted after a day of business affairs, and it was inconvenient for him to stay for a long time, otherwise he really didn't want to leave, and really wanted to chat with Gao Jiancheng for a while Days and nights.

When he got up to say goodbye, Gao Jiancheng naturally asked him to stay, "It's late at night and it's inconvenient to go out of the city, so it's better to take a rest and leave after dawn."

Niu Youdao said with a smile, "I didn't come alone, there are still people waiting outside."

"Since that's the case, Gao will not stay." After Gao Jiancheng nodded, he asked again: "How is Daoist planning to leave the city?"

The gate of the city was closed tightly, and there were monks guarding it. He was also afraid that something would happen to Niu Youdao. Once it fell into the hands of the imperial court, he would also have to worry about it.

Niu Youdao: "There is always a way to go out."

Gao Jiancheng: "If Master Dao doesn't mind, I'll make arrangements."

After Niu Youdao agreed, he immediately asked Fan Zhuan to arrange it.

Later facts also proved that at Gao Jiancheng's level, it was not difficult to arrange for someone to go out of the city alone, not to mention that Niu Youdao was a monk himself.

When he reached the gate of the city again, Niu Youdao had already changed into his soldier's clothes, and followed a group of patrolmen to patrol the city.

When they arrived at the dimly lit place at the head of the city, the captain of the patrol team let the others pass first, leaving Niu Youdao behind, gave Niu Youdao a wink, and motioned towards the city.

Niu Youdao understood, looked around, took advantage of people's unpreparedness, turned over and landed under the city, drifting away through the night, the man tore off his camouflage clothes on the way.

Then went to the original location of the mountain forest, and met Guan Fangyi smoothly.

Guan Fangyi also breathed a sigh of relief. After waiting for so long, she couldn't get in touch. She was also worried all the time. When she saw her now, she couldn't help complaining, "I'll come back as soon as I said it. Why did I wait so long?"

Niu Youdao glanced at her shrunken breasts, and said with a smile: "I've got something to delay, I can't help it, let's go!"

Guan Fangyi didn't dare to stay for long, and the two took the red hunting eagle and flew away again.

Going up to the sky to face the bright moon, the stars are endless, Niu Youdao took out a golden hairpin from his sleeve, and called out, "Matchmaker."

"Why?" Guan Fangyi, who was driving the bird and was complaining endlessly, turned her head and looked back, her eyes froze for a moment, and she saw the hairpin shining under the moonlight.

Niu Youdao raised his hand, and gently inserted it into her hair bun dressed as a man, the golden steps hanging from the tail of the golden hairpin swayed.

Guan Fangyi stared at him blankly.

Niu Youdao took a closer look, "I have good eyesight, and I'm sure I'll look better in a woman's attire."

Guan Fangyi raised her hand to take it off, and asked suspiciously, "Where did it come from?"

Niu Youdao: "Of course I bought it for you."

Guan Fangyi was suspicious, and looked at the things in his hand, "The sun is coming out from the west, you will buy this for me? You don't have this muscle, no!"

Niu Youdao was stunned: "What's wrong?"

Guan Fangyi has already started to do it, and he was arrested and searched.

Niu Youdao yelled strangely, "What are you doing? Don't move your hands."

"You are a poor man with no money at all. Where did you get the money to buy this for me? Did you hide money from your own house, or did you go to the city to make a fortune? Take out the money you owe to my mother."

"I said you are a woman who has no energy, and your good intentions are like a donkey's liver and lungs. Is it difficult for me to get some money to buy this?"

After searching all over, she didn't find even a copper coin, so Guan Fangyi had no choice but to give up, doubting, "Did you really buy it for me?"

Niu Youdao raised his hand, "I swear to God, I borrowed money to buy it for you, if I tell a lie, it will be thundered, are you satisfied now?"

"Hehe!" Guan Fangyi laughed and trembled, "I believe you this time." Turning around, she steered the bird and threw herself on the ground.

Niu Youdao asked in surprise, "Where are you going?"

"Find a place to change clothes. How can a man wear this? I'll show you if you look good in women's clothes."

"Are you sick? You haven't left the capital yet. You still have the heart to think about it. Can't you just change your clothes when you go back?"

"No! It's a long journey, and we have to wait until the Year of the Monkey?"
