Chapter 601: Heart-to-heart

"People will become!" Luo Daoming gently knocked on the table and said slowly. Sitting opposite him was his partner in Shanglin, military commander Yang Yidao.

Yang Yidao picked up the wine glass and did not directly answer Luo Daoming's words. Instead, he smiled and said, "Mr. Luo, I toast you this glass of wine."

Luo Daomingqi said: "General Yang, what's wrong with me today? We don't drink less often. Why do I think you seem very different today than usual?"

Yang Yidao put down his wine glass and smiled and said, "Mr. Luo, to be honest, I have learned a lot in the past two years of working with you."

"Oh?" Luo Daoming smiled, "You and my colleagues, speaking of it, you are much more trustworthy than me in front of the general."

Yang Yidao shook his head, "That's different. Lord Luo, I, Yang Yidao, started from the weak, and before following the general to conquer the world, I was just a soldier. After years of following the general, I have become more and more powerful, but my courage has become smaller and smaller. The ups and downs of the officialdom are more dangerous than fighting on the battlefield!"

He exhaled a heavy breath, "I used to be naive, but I have experienced so many things and saw so many people ups and downs, hey!" He shook his head and stopped talking.

Luo Daoming deeply felt the same, "General Yang, please forgive me for being frank. When you first started working with you, you did have unique insights in military affairs and decisiveness. You are worthy of being a brave general. However, you are indeed quite naive in politics. However, General Yang is extremely talented and has suffered a little in his studies. However, in the past two years, he has made rapid progress and is no longer the same as before."

"The more I learn, the more I feel that I know less! I feel even more worried. The ancients said that ignorant people are fearless and I will not bully you!" Yang Yidao raised his glass again, "In the past two years, Lord Luo has been my teacher!"

Luo Daoming smiled and raised his wine glass. The two of them touched it gently and drank it all. "Old Yang, I believe you have received the letter. We are all leaving Shanglin and serving in Dingzhou. You will become the garrison general of Dingzhou and the supreme commander of the Central Military Region troops. I will enter the cabinet. I am afraid it will be difficult to have the opportunity to speak freely in the future. Moreover, it is impossible to speak freely. The higher the position, the more you are, the more you are concerned. I believe that the general will not like a cabinet minister who has a deep friendship with a general who holds heavy troops. Since you said that I have learned a lot in the past two years, today, I will say something last, and declare in advance that I will never admit it after leaving this house."

"Politics is about taking sides!" Luo Daoming said: "If you stand in the right position, you will be successful. If you stand in the wrong position, you will be defeated. Lao Yang, you and I are loyal to the general, but you still have to take sides, otherwise you will find it difficult to survive in this system."

Yang Yidao looked at the other party, "As long as we are loyal to the general, why should we take the lead?"

Luo Daoming smiled and said, "Isn't Military Advisor Shang loyal to the General? What about Feng Guo?"

Yang Yidao was silent immediately. Shang Haibo and Feng Guo both stood in the wrong team at the last moment, and one was demoted and the other died.

"A large group of forces will inevitably form mountains of all sizes. A lonely minister may be able to achieve enlightenment for a while, because the superiors need such people, but it will never last long. The power of the group is still controlled by mountains of all sizes. These are the ruling bases of a group of forces. Although our Dingzhou is an emerging force, it is undoubtedly a problem that various factions have formed. In the past, the Qingfeng faction, Shang Haibo faction, Lu Yiming faction, Lu Dalin faction, and other foreign officials and generals were more obvious. "

Luo Daoming took a peanut and said, "Actually, you were also known as the Changsheng Camp faction, do you know?"

Yang Yidao smiled bitterly, "I heard of it, but it disappeared soon, and I never heard of it again."

"This is because the faction of the Changsheng Camp has been divided, Shang Haibo has been divided, and Lu Yiming has been divided. To be honest, the former generals of the Changsheng Camp, you, Wang Qinian and Jiang Kui, can do war, but it is not possible to do such things, and it is difficult for you to be attracted to it, so it is normal to be marginalized."

"War is always the continuation of politics. When you only know how to fight and do not understand politics, you can be a middle- and low-level general, but it is difficult to be a commander in one side." Luo Daoming said: "Old Yang, have you not seen it? For you, the mountain wind is just a rising star, but now he is the governor of Qinzhou, commanding 100,000 troops. Let's look at Wang Qinian? Where is Jiang Kui? Among you three, the only one who can compete with the mountain wind in the future is you. I think the general has also seen the changes you have over the years, so that you can transfer you to Dingzhou and serve as the highest commander of the Central Military Region."

Yang Yidao smiled bitterly, "Mr. Luo, you made my vest feel cold!"

"Politics itself is a tightrope!" Luo Daoming said seriously, "To say disrespectful, what is the most feared by the Grand Marshal, and what he fears most is his subordinates. Only when his subordinates form various factions and form various hills can the Grand Marshal sit in the center and firmly sit in Diaoyutai. All the Grand Marshal needs to do is regulate."

"In the system, if you do not rely on various groups of forces, you can only sit on one lonely minister. However, the lonely minister is the easiest to collapse because he is not tolerant of everyone. Once something happens, these people will always be thrown out first. So, with one knife, you should not be an lonely minister!"

Yang Yidao smiled and said, "I'm afraid no one dares to ask me!"

"There are still a long time!" Luo Daoming said: "Now all major forces in Dingzhou are united in external affairs. External conflicts can allow us to unite sincerely. When the general takes over the world, of course, the general will definitely take over the world. Then the real contest will begin!"

"Don't think that you are indispensable. Shang Junshi's failure is due to this. The seeds of his failure have long been planted. Dingzhou has made great contributions to what he is today, but he is proud of his contributions and interferes in everything. In fact, when the commander was assigned to the Logistics Department, he should see the clues and restrain himself. Do he really think that the commander was the commander who was in the Changsheng Camp? The current commander has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, tens of millions of people, and has thousands of miles of land. He has no name for an emperor, but has the reality of an emperor. How could a minister be so domineering?"

Yang Yidao remained silent.

"Although Shang Haibo was in the wrong team at the last moment, do you think his collapse was because of this? No. But because the Grand Marshal would never allow such a powerful minister under his command. On the surface, Shang Haibo rebelled against the Grand Marshal. Looking deeper, he was completely defeated with Director Qingfeng. In fact, the deeper level is that the Grand Marshal wants to take him down."

"Isn't that true? Director Qingfeng was also exiled by the commander on Lianshan Island?" Yang Yidao retorted.

Luo Daoming smiled, "Believe it or not, Director Qingfeng will be recalled soon."

Yang Yidao was shocked, "Impossible, Lord Luo, this time Director Qingfeng made a big fuss, and he ignored the life and death of the general. I am afraid that no one can tolerate this matter."

Luo Daoming shook his head: "Director Qingfeng is different from Lord Shang. First, the relationship between the Grandmaster Qingfeng is very complicated. After Director Qingfeng did such a big thing, the Grandmaster just exiled her, which shows that the Grandmaster is now planning to seize the world. He does not lack counselors, but Director Qingfeng is a sharp blade in the Grandmaster's hand. How can it be used without it?"

"Now that Ji Yue has become the final decision in the army's inner palace, how could the general be the leader of the army, and how could the general be the leader of the reign of Director Qingfeng? Isn't this contrary to what you said before?"

"Not necessarily!" Luo Daoming said, "I'm going to hide it from you, Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Jiyue, hey, I've misunderstood. It took a long time until Mrs. Jiyue entered the Marshal's Mansion that I realized it! Mrs. Jiyue is really not simple! When it comes to being powerful, Mrs. Jiyue is really powerful and a good means."

"How do you say this?" It was difficult for Yang Yidao to associate his handsome, innocent, often frightened face with the power in Luo Daoming's mouth.

Luo Daoming smiled bitterly, "Yi Dao, I asked you, Director Qingfeng was in trouble with her sister back then, we can judge from many things. Director Qingfeng's personality changed drastically, and he was even a little paranoid. So, is the Jiyue who has experienced these sufferings with her really as pure and quiet as she seems on the surface?"

"This, it is also possible." Yang Yidao said: "As far as we know, Director Qingfeng suffered more suffering in order to protect Jiyue."

"But Jiyue witnessed all this happening." Luo Daoming interrupted Yang Yidao's words, "It's just that Jiyue hid this point deeper. To be honest, you have also seen it. I have been investing in Mrs. Jiyue, and even felt a little proud. It was not until I figured it out that I was really chilling. Maybe when I was about to stick it on, Mrs. Jiyue was very happy!"

"Maybe Director Qingfeng is also under her sister's plan!" Luo Daoming said: "After my heart is confused, I quietly whispered and found out a lot of past events. After I think about it, I can get something!"

"What a person like Director Qingfeng, how could he not see clearly?" Yang Yidao said.

"The bystander Qing, after Director Qingfeng was hit by the disaster, his temperament changed drastically. Not only did he stand up with the commander, this sister is probably the last touch of warmth in her heart. I'm afraid she really couldn't think of it. Maybe she didn't think about it at all, or maybe she thought about it, but she was willing to do so."

"Director Qingfeng uses his power to slowly spread a big net for Jiyue, and even does everything to defeat Qingcheng so that Jiyue can successfully enter the Grandmaster's Mansion. Director Qingfeng has fulfilled his wish. It can also be said that Mrs. Jiyue has fulfilled her wish, Qingcheng is dead, Director Qingfeng has been exiled, and the three women who are most closely related to the Grandmaster, who are left in the end?"

"Even if there are still women who can get to the side of the coach in the future, Jiyue's status is unshakable."

"Ji Shi is likely to fade out of the core of Dingzhou in the future because of his mother. Even if the Grand Marshal still has a son in the future, he is too different from Anmin's age. In the competition, Anmin has a great advantage. Besides, if he has such a mother, why should he be afraid of any contender?" Luo Daoming sneered.

Listening to Luo Daoming's analysis like a decouple, Yang Yidao thought about it more and more likely, and he couldn't help but tremble, "Old Luo, if it's really as you said, then this is too terrible. Fortunately, we have always been good to Mrs. Jiyue."

Luo Daoming shook his head slowly, "Old Yang, remember, it's good that we have this favor, but don't expect too much." After Luo Daoming said this, he seemed to want to say something, but after hesitating, he stopped talking.

Although Yang Yidao knew that Luo Daoming had not finished his words, the fact that he could talk about this today really shows that Luo Daoming really regarded himself as a friend.

"Does the Grand Marshal understand all this?" Yang Yidao murmured.

"The Marshal doesn't have many days with Mrs. Jiyue, so it's hard to say whether he can see through it. However, the Marshal is also a very smart person. After Jiyue takes over the Marshal's Mansion, there will always be some things that will fall into the Marshal's eyes. It depends on what the Marshal thinks!"

Yang Yidao suddenly asked, "You said, will Mrs. Jiyue attack Jishi?"

Luo Daoming laughed, "Yi Dao, if Mrs. Jiyue is so stupid, will she have reached this point today? You can rest assured about this. What does Jiyue need to do now? It is not to make any mistakes."

Yang Yidao nodded, "Yes, not making mistakes is the greatest success, but sometimes, how can you say it? By the way, do you think Director Qingfeng will really come back?"

"I will definitely come back, but after I come back, Director Qingfeng will definitely be shackled by the commander. In the Statistics and Investigation Department, Director Qingfeng can no longer hold the sky with one hand. Moreover, Yan Nanfei was also recalled!" Luo Daoming said.

"Yan Nanfei is considered the Princess Qingcheng. This time I actually took the team, which made me admire it. There are countless disciples in Chen Xiyan, but only Yan Nanfei got the true teachings. It is true. Even if Yan Nanfei surrendered to the Grand Marshal, he must be hostile to Director Qingfeng! Think about it, in the investigation department, Director Qingfeng tied his hands and feet, and in the court, Shang Haibo left and Yan Nanfei came. The Grand Marshal was really powerful. This balance technique was perfect."

Yang Yidao smiled bitterly, "There are two powerful figures under the command of the Grand Marshal. One is difficult to stand out, and the other will no longer have the momentum of the day even if he comes back. The only thing that remains unchanged is the authority of the Grand Marshal."

"Therefore, the Grand Marshal will be our Grand Marshal!" Luo Daoming raised his wine glass, "Only such a Grand Marshal is our wise master and our hope!"

Yang Yidao poured a sip of wine and drank it, "I really longed for the simple days in Changsheng Camp back then. I was holding a knife and rushing to kill, with the purpose of just one, to survive. Now I survived and lived very well, and I became even more troublesome."

"A beggar and a mogul, of course, have more troubles. One has nothing and nothing to lose, but the other has everything, but he is most afraid of losing. This is the reason. I can't even go back to you. When I was a small county magistrate back then, how could I ever think that I will be today? If you have gains, there will be losses. Do you still want to go back to your life and kill pigs?"

Yang Yidao laughed, "That day was good too!"

"The political structure of Dingzhou has been initially formed. The Grand Marshal is planning to form a complete ruling institution. It can be seen from the orders issued in pieces. The cabinet will be headed by Lu Yiming, Yan Nanfei, I am the auxiliary, and some other people will form the civil servant group of Dingzhou. In terms of military affairs, you also know that the Grand Governor's Office will be established. Although the specific details are not clear, I guess this must be a restriction on the military power of the general. The five major military regions, you are in the center, Tian Feng is in Weizhou, Lu Dalin is in Bingzhou, and the mountain wind is in Qinzhou, and there has been a prototype."

"There is still one short, probably Wang Qinian, right?" Yang Yidao said.

Luo Daoming shook his head, "No, General Wang commanded tens of thousands of troops, which was the limit of his ability. And a military region would face more than just wars in the future. General Wang could not handle this person. I couldn't guess who this person was! But the general proposed the concept of five major military regions, and there must be someone who had chosen them. Let's wait and see!"

"I didn't expect Yan Nanfei to soar into the sky?" Yang Yidao said indignantly, "What contribution did he make to Dingzhou?"

"That's not the case. Yan Nanfei has been doing well in Shiwei for many years. When the Grand Marshal left him, he was afraid that he would give advice to Qingcheng in Dingzhou and not throw him away. Now he doesn't know what's going on? Besides, do you envy him? I don't. Do you know what the biggest purpose of the Grand Marshal recalling him?"

Yang Yidao shook his head. "Didn't you say that this person is very talented?"

Luo Daoming laughed: "It's true that there are talented people, but there are so many talented people in the world! Even the general can give up on Military Advisor Shang, so why are you stingy with Yan Nanfei?"

"The construction of a new ruling institution from this point of view is probably aroused that the fundamental interests of many people will be touched. This can be seen from historical books in history. Who will do this? It is absolutely impossible for the marshal to do it himself, Lu Yiming or me? We have been in this system for too long, and we have been in a mixed relationship. We will inevitably be restrained when doing things, and we will even take the initiative to dissuade some measures. Because these measures may harm our interests. Of course, only Yan Nanfei will be."

"This man has no grudges with the old Dingzhou forces, and even has a grudge. When encountering such a thing, he will definitely be very happy to do it. Moreover, he has almost no help except the general."

"I understand, this is what you are talking about!" Yang Yidao suddenly realized and immediately said, "But Yan Nanfei wouldn't understand?"

"Of course he understands, but he still knows how to do it. He is like the military advisor Shang back then, eager to display his talents and be famous in history. Otherwise, during the incident of the glorious city, he would not have stood on the side of the commander so decisively. Such people are extremely smart, but extremely conceited, and always think that they can control some things."

Yang Yidao sighed: "Yes, Junshi Shang is such a person."

"If you don't have a good grasp of it, Yan Nanfei will become the second Shang Haibo!" Luo Daoming sneered. "Of course, it's after he finished doing these things."

"Listen to you is better than reading for ten years. No matter how many books I read, I can't learn these things!" Yang Yidao sighed, "I respect you!"

Luo Daoming picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one go. Today's heart-to-heart talk made him truly make friends with Yang Yidao, then it would be worth it. Yang Yidao's weight in Li Qing's heart is extremely heavy.
