Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 169 Tian Feng: The Third Miss Has Not Yet Married, You Must Learn to Take Shortcuts

At this morning meeting, Yuan Shao still hadn't decided whether to go to the capital to support the king.

The military supervisor Ju Su firmly supported the emperor's mission and welcomed him to Yecheng.

Xun Chen, Xu You and others were firmly opposed to supporting the king.

In the end, the morning meeting ended hastily.

After the morning meeting, everyone did not disperse immediately.

The servants of the government office prepared breakfast and asked everyone to eat it.

Zhang Sui finished his breakfast and prepared to go back.

Tian Feng stopped him and asked, "Can I give you a ride?"

He had noticed that when Zhang Sui came, he was limping.

Zhang Sui declined and pointed to his buttocks and said, "My buttocks are injured, so I came over here."

Tian Feng said: "Get on the carriage and lie down. I will take you there."

When Zhang Sui heard Tian Feng say this, he had no choice but to go up.

After all, He Tianfeng doesn't live far away.

Tian Feng is the elder and also his superior.

He took the initiative to invite me, but I kept declining, which was a lack of face for him. This was not a wise behavior.

Tian Feng sat next to him and looked outside through the car window.

Seeing Zhang Sui lying in the carriage, Tian Feng looked out the window and asked, "Did anyone see you going to the governor's residence yesterday?"

Zhang Sui glanced at Tian Feng with some surprise.

Do you know this?

Sure enough, although Yecheng seems calm, there are spies everywhere.

Zhang Sui said honestly, "I went to see the Third Miss."

"I made a sheepskin man using a wooden frame, cloth and sheepskin."

"About the size of a human."

“Character painting on the face.”

“Other places paint costumes.”

"In this way, you can make a dummy that looks almost like a real person."

Tian Feng smiled and said, "You still have this skill?"

Zhang Sui smiled awkwardly and said, "I was just playing around to attract the attention of some girls."

Tian Feng said: "I saw you were good at painting before."

Zhang Sui nodded.

Tian Feng asked, "Miss San likes these of yours very much?"

Zhang Sui smiled and said, "Is it normal? After all, most women are like this."

Tian Feng asked, "You haven't married yet?"

Zhang Sui looked at Tian Feng suspiciously.

Tian Feng and Zhang Sui looked at each other, and then asked, "Did you see what happened in the government office today?"

Zhang Sui: “.”

Tian Feng should be referring to the morning meeting today when Ju Su proposed to serve the king, and Xun Chen, Xu You and others jumped out to oppose it.

Especially Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others.

Some of the words make no sense.

Anyone with a little common sense could see that they were deliberately targeting Ju Su.

Zhang Sui nodded and said, "Currently, the civil servants are roughly divided into three factions."

"You and your deputy are from the same faction, the Jizhou faction."

"Xun Chen, Guo Tu and others belong to the same faction, and they all come from Yingchuan."

"Xu You, Feng Ji and the others are from the same faction, and they came from Nanyang."

"At present, the military supervisor and the deputy driver occupy higher positions under the general."

"However, Yingchuan and Nanyang have the largest number of people."

"Moreover, many of them were among the first to follow the general."

"For example, Feng Ji and Xu You."

"Among them, Xu You was the general's childhood playmate."

"The general is now torn between three factions."

"Emotionally, he is more inclined towards the Yingchuan and Nanyang factions."

"But now the general has Hebei as his base, so he chose to give you, the military supervisor and the deputy driver, a higher position in order to win over the aristocratic families in Hebei."

When Tian Feng heard what Zhang Sui said, his eyes lit up slightly.

When Zhang Sui proposed not to serve the king yesterday, he thought that Zhang Sui was too young and could not see through things.

This discerning look made him realize that he had underestimated this young boy.

He was more and more certain that this young man was a disciple of Ding Yuan. Ordinary people could not develop such vision!

Tian Feng smiled and said, "That's right."

"Although you are young, you have a good eye."

"That is indeed the case with the current situation."

"Moreover, as Gongsun Zan is defeated step by step, this situation will become more and more serious, and it will begin to tilt."

"Leaning towards those people in Yingchuan and Nanyang."

"The general is a man of sentiment."

"Besides, it is better to make plans and avoid making decisions."

"Once Gongsun Zan is taken down, the position of Hebei natives like us will gradually decline in his eyes."

"When he goes south, he will have to rely on the power of Nanyang and Yingchuan."

Zhang Sui nodded.

indeed.

If Yuan Shao wanted to go south, he would have to make use of the Nanyang faction and the Yingchuan faction.

The Nanyang faction’s base is in Jingzhou.

The Yingchuan faction’s base is in the Central Plains.

Jingzhou and Central Plains are home to many aristocratic families.

If Yuan Shao wants to take over, he has to win over these aristocratic families.

Then, the Nanyang School and the Yingchuan School must be taken as the core, and more official positions and powers must be given out.

Tian Feng said: "I was a little overwhelmed at first."

"Just now, your words woke me up."

Zhang Sui looked at Tian Feng suspiciously.

What did you just say?

How did you wake him up?

Tian Feng touched Zhang Sui's head and said, "You are from Bingzhou, and you are also from Hebei."

"Your husband is Ding Jianyang, a famous lord."

"As his disciple, you must also restore his glory."

"We have to fight for our Hebei people's dignity."

"You said before that you like the second young lady of the Zhen family?"

"Then you should make a name for yourself, build a career, and then marry the second young lady of the Zhen family."

Zhang Sui: “.”

I mistakenly thought you were asking me which lady I liked in the Zhen family!

However, Zhang Sui was not prepared to explain.

If she tells this to outsiders and it gets out, how will the lady face the Zhen family?

She's not ready yet!
Zhang Sui asked: "So?"

Tian Feng smiled and said, "Then do you know what method can help you stand out faster?"

Zhang Sui said: "Make great achievements."

Tian Feng shook his head and said, "No!"

“Achievements are the result, not the method.”

"If you want to stand out faster, you need brains and military strength, that's the basics."

"If you can establish a relationship with the general, you will be able to rise to the top!"

"The third young lady has reached the age of marriage, but she has not yet married."

"The general asked me before if there is any young man who is suitable. The general is in a headache."

"You are Ding Jianyang's disciple. For the general, to manage Hebei, he must give people a superficial look and let people know that he is a good judge of ability."

“You’re a good example.”

"You have both strength and brains."

"It just so happens that Miss San is also very nice to you."

"You must find a way to get the Third Young Lady."

"As the third legitimate daughter of the general, Miss Third's status is much higher than that of the declining Zhen family."

"If you have the ability to take the Third Miss back, then you can let the girl from the Zhen family be your mistress, and she won't have anything to say."

"In this way, can't you enjoy the best of both worlds?"

"Besides, Miss Third's looks are beyond compare. As the general's legitimate daughter, she has inherited the general's bloodline, so her beauty is definitely second to none."

"Bocheng, people need to learn to take shortcuts."

"Understand?"
