Man Tanghong

Chapter 876 Distinguish primary and secondary
Just when Feng An was saddened by what happened to his son, Chen Shuda and Xiao Yu also chatted over there.

After Chen Shuda sat down, Xiao Yu teased and said, "I didn't expect that you didn't give Feng An any face at all."

Chen Shuda glanced at Xiao Yu expressionlessly, and said very calmly: "Why should I give Feng An face?"

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, then hesitated and said: "If I remember correctly, your Chen family also eats the rice bowl of Haiyun. If you don't give Feng An face like this, are you afraid that Feng An will ruin your family's job?"

Chen Shuda didn't even glance at Xiao Yu this time, and still said calmly: "Mr. Chen is Mr. Chen, and I am me. Mrs. Chen eats the bowl of rice shipped by the sea, but I eat the bowl of rice from the imperial court. I You have to keep your own job before you can keep Chen's job.

If I can't keep my job, does it matter whether the Chen family can still eat the rice of Shanghai Yun? "

Xiao Yu was suddenly speechless by Chen Shuda's words.

Indeed, people have a clear priority.

They ate the bowl of rice from the imperial court before they could eat the rice on the sea.

If you can't even serve the bowl of the imperial court, you are not qualified to serve other bowls.

They are backed by aristocratic families, and they squeezed out other competitors through the huge size of the aristocratic families, and got a share of water and sea transportation.

But there are many people who get a share of the soup, and it's not just the two of them.

Among the aristocratic families who have handled the bowl of water transportation and sea transportation so far, they are the only ones who have handled it most stably.

And the reason why they are so stable that no one dares to covet them is because the two of them are the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty. They can not only target their opponents through the means of aristocratic families, but also use official means to control their opponents to death. of.

If they didn't have this level of identity, then no one would be afraid of them. What happened to the Boling Cui clan today would most likely happen to their clan as well.

When Feng An was sandwiched between them and Li Xiaogong and others, he would not be humble and say all kinds of good things, but he would fall to Li Xiaogong in all directions.

Although Feng An still turned towards Li Xiaogong when he spoke, which meant to offend Chen Shuda a bit, but this just proved that Feng An was a smart person, able to do things and speak well.

You know, the world today is the world of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the world of the Li family.

The second-generation leader of the Li family is sitting in the middle of the hall. After the conflict between the Li family members and Chen Shuda, if Feng An adopts a non-offending way to deal with the problem, it seems that no one is offended in the end. On the contrary, he offended Datang's biggest one.

Not to offend Li's people, but to offend Chen Shuda, which is precisely the best solution.

First, he proved his loyalty to Li Shi, and let the second generation head of Li Shi see that he would stand by Li Shi no matter what.

Second, he raised Li Shi high and stepped on Chen Shi, which prevented Chen Shuda and Li Xiaogong from forming a deadly feud due to their quarrel.

Even though Li Xiaogong would be unhappy with Chen Shuda because of today's incident, Li Xiaogong would not mobilize the masses to retaliate if he was so reconciled.

After all, he has helped Li Xiaogong earn back his face. If Li Xiaogong harbors a grudge and seeks revenge, it will appear a bit petty.

And whether Li Xiaogong is a narrow-minded person or not, as long as he has a little bit of political savvy, he will not go to war with Chen Shuda, an important minister, because of this kind of matter that has already saved face.

Although the friendship between Chen Shuda and Li Xiaogong, and the relationship between the two sides in the court hall, it is not enough to make a big fuss about this kind of thing.

However, Feng An, a foreign feudal vassal who doesn't know all kinds of inside information in the capital, can come up with this kind of solution at the first time when the two sides have conflicts, which is quite powerful.

Xiao Yu realized that he hadn't distinguished the priority, so he stopped discussing this topic, but changed the topic, "Although Feng An didn't say anything clearly today, he didn't save face for you in secret, what are you going to do next?"

Chen Shuda looked at Xiao Yu like an idiot and said: "He is a prince of a state, and he is a foreign feudal vassal with a heavy army, can I do whatever I want?"

Are you afraid that you have misunderstood my authority?
It is true that I am the prime minister, but I am not the only prime minister in Datang.

The most important thing is that those of us who are prime ministers, although we are under one person, can actually ride on our heads everywhere, right?

If we are too arrogant, we will die miserably.

When Xiao Yu heard this, she rolled her eyes and ignored Chen Shuda.

Chen Shuda can't get along with this person anymore, he has already started to hide in front of him, and he is unwilling to tell the truth to him when things happen, so let's communicate more with Ren Gui in the future.

……

Li Yuanji sat lazily sideways on the couch, holding the wine cup in his hand, and watched with a smile the quarrel between Chen Shuda and Li Xiaogong, and also watched the reactions of all of them after the quarrel with a smile.

Overall, it is quite good.

They were all friendly and didn't roll up their sleeves.

I don't know how much better this is than the gang of old men in Prince Qin's Mansion.

If the old part of Qin Wangfu was here, let alone a quarrel, even if it was for a position, they would fight.

Injury and disability are inevitable.

As for verbal conflicts and inner calculations, that's not important.

Anyway, as long as it doesn't hurt people or cause disability, there is room for negotiation.

"Come! You have a drink!"

After Feng An and his son Feng Zhidai finished talking about the past emotionally, Li Yuanji said a few words on the occasion and invited all the ministers and workers in the hall to have a feast.

After drinking for three rounds, when everyone was almost drunk, Li Yuanji dragged Feng An to chat about everything in Jiaozhou.

First, he asked about the local conditions and customs of Jiaozhou, as well as the gains and losses of the various governors and governors of Jiaozhou during their reign, and then asked a lot of questions about Baiman.

Finally, he asked Feng An if he had any difficulties that needed to be solved by the court, and encouraged Feng An to make persistent efforts to help Datang Mu guard Jiaozhou well.

Although these words are still some scene words, they have to be said, and they have to be said with sincerity.

Otherwise, what do the superiors say when they talk to their subordinates, are they talking about women?

That's Li Yuan!

Although vulgar subordinates would prefer it, this is a formal occasion.

In addition, if you show your unbearable side in front of your subordinates, you will easily lose your dignity in front of your subordinates.

Especially foreign vassals like Feng An, who are so tall and the emperor is far away, if they lose their majesty in front of him, then he dares to rebel.

Therefore, in front of a subordinate like Feng An, not only must he speak in a serious manner, but he must also maintain his majesty at all times.

After chatting for about an hour, Li Yuanji stopped talking and asked Feng An to go down to rest first, recharge his energy, and then have a long talk later.

Feng An naturally agreed, but after agreeing, he asked an unexpected question.

To be precise, it was unexpected for Li Yuanji.

"Are you going to visit Li Jing?"

Li Yuanji stared at Feng An in surprise and asked.

Feng An hesitated and said: "If Your Highness thinks something is wrong, then forget it..."

The reason why Feng An told this matter was because he came to Beijing as a foreign vassal, and if he went to meet in private with a general who was able to lead the army and win the battle, it would easily cause misunderstandings.

So he simply said this matter openly and aboveboard. If he succeeds, he will succeed, but if he fails, he will fail, and he doesn't have to worry about being suspected.

Li Yuanji shook his head and said, "I don't think there is anything wrong, but I just don't understand why you want to visit Li Jing?"

Li Jing probably won't have the chance to go to Jiaozhou in this life, so Feng An's going to see Li Jing is nothing to worry about.

Feng An told the matter openly again, it can be seen that Feng An didn't have any bad intentions, and he was not afraid of being known, so he had no reason to stop it.

The only thing Li Yuanji wanted to know was why Feng An wanted to see Li Jing.

If it was because Li Jing had been to Jiaozhou and had a little friendship with Feng An, why didn't Li Jing stand up and say that he would welcome Feng An when he entered Beijing?
If the two of them had no friendship, Feng An didn't look for anyone, but why did he propose to see Li Jing?
Feng An hesitated for a moment, then smiled wryly and told what Li Jing did in Jiaozhou.

The vast majority of people in the hall were dumbfounded.

After all, everything that Li Jing did in Jiaozhou at that time was just a few words in the documents that were reported to the court, so the people in the court knew only the documents and did not know too many details.

It's not that the people in the imperial court don't even pay attention to such things, but when Li Jing and Li Xiaogong conquered Nanliang, it happened to be the time when the imperial court was fighting with Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande.

At that time, all eyes of the imperial court were on the north, on Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, and they didn't have the time to pay attention to what happened in Jiaozhou, a place where no shit happened, nor did they have the time to care about how much water was in the documents handed over by Li Jing and Li Xiaogong. .

Anyway, for the imperial court, it is enough for Jiaozhou to surrender. As for how to surrender and how many people were killed, it doesn't matter at all.

As long as the soldiers and horses of the imperial court do not suffer too much loss, it is not worth paying attention to.

After all, Dou Jiande led an army of [-] to kill him at that time, and he wanted to meet with Wang Shichong in Luoyang to attack Datang together.

If you have that leisurely mind, you might as well pay more attention to Dou Jiande.

Maybe he can come up with one or two small tricks to reduce Datang's losses and increase Datang's confidence in winning.

So the ruling and opposition parties really don't know much about what Li Jing did in Jiaozhou.

Li Jing's murder in Jiaozhou was almost a human slaughter, so it's not good to promote his cruelty too much.

In addition, he was only Li Xiaogong's deputy at the time, if he had done so well, where would Li Xiaogong's face be?

So Li Jing didn't mention it, and no one took the initiative to ask, and even fewer people knew about it.

Later, first Liu Heita rebelled, then the Turkic people came, and then Fu Gongyou rebelled. The court was too tired to deal with it, and had no time to pay attention to what Li Jing did in Jiaozhou.
