The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1391 The decision of the two brothers

In the end, I didn't know what Zhao Xu said to the two brothers. Anyway, the two of them were quite happy, and Zhao Xu also backed out with a smile on his face.

"Are these two people doing us any good, and you are not doing anything unnecessary?"

Wanwan didn't know why Zhao Xu wanted to see these two people for the last time. The two of them didn't have a good reputation in Southern Tang.

"Hehe, Wanwan, let me tell you a story. After listening to it, you will know why I did it. You just need to listen to it."

It is said that the forest here used to be green and full of vitality.Birds are singing on the branches, and lively and beautiful deer are playing in the forest.

But behind the deer, there are often greedy and ferocious wolves, they are always looking for opportunities to kill the deer.At that time there were about [-] deer in the forest, and people had to be on guard against wolves at all times.

Local residents hate wolves.They formed a hunting team and went to the forest to kill wolves.The sound of gunfire broke the tranquility of the big forest.Under the muzzle of the gun with the green smoke curling up, the wolves followed one by one, howling and falling in a pool of blood.

With the large-scale killing of wolves, the number of wolves here has decreased on a large scale, and the natural enemies of deer have also decreased.

The forest has since become the kingdom of the deer.They gave birth here, and soon the total number of deer exceeded [-].However, with the large number of deer herds multiplying, a famine broke out in the forest.

Shrubs, small trees, twigs, bark...all the green plants that can be eaten are eaten up by hungry deer.The whole forest seemed to be on fire, the green was fading and the withered yellow was spreading.Immediately afterwards, a greater disaster struck.Disease wanders among the deer like a demon's shadow.

In just two years, there are not many deer left. In fact, wolves can help those deer survive the fittest. Now that those wolves are gone, the deer will naturally go to extinction.

A story told by Zhao Xu was adapted into a story about wolves and sheep in later generations. These stories are very instructive.

"I see. Are you keeping the two of them to deal with other ministers?" Wanwan was naturally not a stupid person, he knew Zhao Xu's intentions.

The reputation of these two people in Nantang is not very good. They have trouble with some officials, and using them can make other people be wary and cautious.

It's not good for ministers to be too upright. This is not to say that integrity is not advocated. The main reason is that there is a saying that when water is clear, there will be no fish.

Look at the bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty, they were united enough to influence the emperor's thoughts, and in the end the whole country was also brought down by them.

"It doesn't count, these two are also considered to have a little talent, otherwise they would never have been in Nantang for so many years, and they are in high positions, which shows that they have their own set of ideas, but It was not seen by Li Yu."

In fact, every human existence has its role. There is an inappropriate analogy that garbage is just a misplaced resource.

Why not people? Corrupt officials are sincerely greedy, but it depends on who is in their hands.

"And what you just said is also right. I keep them to give some vigilance to those self-proclaimed people. These people always talk about their own affairs, but in fact it is not the case behind the scenes. Use the two of them. Supervision also kills the good ones."

Zhao Xu originally planned this way. The two Feng Yansi brothers appeared as traitors in the Southern Tang Dynasty. They both stepped on the shoulders of others. Beware of these people.

"Of course, I not only want to keep them, but also use them. I have another idea, which is to buy horse bones with thousands of dollars."

A thousand pieces of gold buys horse bones. In ancient times, a courtier bought a thousand-mile horse for the king, but he only bought the bones of a dead horse and returned. The king was furious and puzzled.

The courtier explained that if everyone saw that the king was willing to buy back the bones of the Chollima with a lot of money, they would think that the king really wanted to buy the Chollima at a high price, and they would naturally send the Chollima to their door.

Later, as the courtiers said, several thousand-mile horses were presented in less than a year.The story has been handed down to this day, which means that people are very eager and value talents.

It turned out that Zhao Xu still had this kind of thought, which Wanwan didn't expect. Although Feng Yansi was a prime minister, a subjugated prime minister was not worth much at all. It turned out that Zhao Xu had another thought about him.

"Brother, we have no way out now. Don't look at how polite he is to us today. In fact, he treats me like a dog. If our dog doesn't think about it for the owner, it will really become a dead dog. of."

Feng Yanlu is afraid of death, but he has an ability that you don't know about, that is, the ability to observe words and emotions. Doesn't this mean that he is really similar to a god, and he knows how to flatter horses, isn't that enough?
"You're right. Some time ago we fantasized that the Tang Kingdom could resist the Great Song Dynasty. Now it seems that they are not the opponent of the Great Song Dynasty. I was really wrong at the beginning. It seems that if we want to have a better life in the future, We must firmly hold on to the big tree, Prince Song."

Feng Yansi felt scared when he thought about it. In the end, he thought that he could help Tang Guo fight against Song Dynasty. Now that he thinks about it, he was really wrong.

The mistake is outrageous. After all, the army of the Song Dynasty has almost wiped out the army of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Can I have a good life?
"Brother is right, but what can we do at this time, now that the Tang Kingdom is about to be wiped out, what is the use of us?" Feng Yanlu couldn't think of what they could do.

"Yanlu, don't you understand? The crown prince asked us to persuade the lord to surrender. This is what we should do." Feng Yansi is definitely capable of being prime minister.

"Yeah, I think His Highness the Crown Prince also means the same thing, but big brother, there are still people in the court who insist on the main battle. If we show the intention of surrendering, we will not be killed by the king. It seems that we have to be good." Do the math."

This is to say that if Li Yu is to surrender, then they will definitely not end well, especially Lin Renzhao of the military is still alive, and they dare not make mistakes.

"Yanlu, what you said is also reasonable, but we still have many people who work for us. Isn't it said that Lin Renzhao is still alive, so we will make him unable to live. I think His Highness will be happy when he finds out about this."

In order to please Zhao Xu, Feng Yansi and the others have already started thinking about how to deal with Lin Renzhao. This is also an opportunity. Lin Renzhao is not good to Feng Yansi and his brothers. Now that he is seriously ill and the court is at its most dangerous time, it is easy to deal with him .

Moreover, Feng Yansi still has many minions under his command. These people are all obedient to him, and they are all villains. If you want them to do good things, they probably can't do well, but if you want to say bad things, no one Without them will play.

And this time they played a big game, which was linked to national affairs.
