Chapter 253 Buying People's Hearts
What happened at the gate of the city did not affect Dong Tiancheng. Although Dong Tiancheng was so angry that his teeth were itchy with hatred, he still bit the bullet and swallowed this disastrous power into his stomach.

He didn't want to cause extra complications and cause unplanned changes.

If he became angry inexplicably because he had been disqualified, it might give people a bad impression, and it would make the situation that was already unfavorable to them even worse.

If you want to be distinguished in front of others.

It is necessary to suffer after death.

For Zhao Du's 10,000+ army.

Dong Tiancheng took this secret loss, he took it willingly, even Dong Tiancheng waved his hand to restrain Ah Er who wanted to stand up for Dong Tiancheng.

The bigger picture matters.

He came to receive the 10,000+ army in Zhao Du's hands, not to seek enmity. If the two sides had inexplicable enmity, how would they smoothly receive those troops?

The prime minister can punt a boat in his belly.

The superior person must have the stomach of the superior person.

How can a high-ranking person tolerate others if he doesn't have the guts?How to control your subordinates?How to make his subordinates work hard for him?

So Dong Tiancheng restrained Ah Er's actions.

Ah Er also knew Dong Tiancheng's good intentions, but as Dong Tiancheng's subordinate, he followed Dong Tiancheng step by step from the bottom to the current high position.How much suffering, how much suffering, how many people's eyes and contempt they have endured, only they themselves know.Just because he knew it was not easy, Ah Ren didn't allow anyone to trample on or look down on Dong Tiancheng in front of him.

In Ah Er's heart.

Dong Tiancheng is his benefactor and also his bole, if there is no Dong Tiancheng.The current Ah Er is still leading Ah San and Ah Si to nest in the ravine, being a bandit, it is impossible for him to become the current guard general in front of the Fourth Grade Palace.

The guarding generals and bandits in front of the fourth grade hall are the difference between heaven and earth.

This is one aspect.

on the other hand.

During the time spent with Dong Tiancheng, Ah Er really understood Dong Tiancheng's expression of worrying about the country and the people, and also knew that Dong Tiancheng had put the matter of worrying about the country and the people into practice.

Therefore, even though he was a little unhappy in his heart, he still followed Dong Tiancheng's thoughts, swallowed the bad breath like Dong Tiancheng did, and then hurried on his way sullenly.

After half a stick of incense, it appeared in Zhennan Wang's Palace.

At this time, the Zhennan King's Mansion is different from the previous city gate. There are huge crowds of people, but all the generals and officials who are qualified to appear, all of them have appeared.

They are waiting for the arrival of the imperial envoy.

In addition, Zhennan Wang Zhaodu also ordered people to prepare the incense table so that he could receive the order smoothly.

This decree is related to the future and hope of Zhennan Wang's family, and even their wealth and life are on this decree.

If this imperial decree was reprimanded, then things would be eased to a certain extent, and the future and destiny of Zhao Du and the others would be guaranteed.

in contrast.

If this imperial decree is in the tone of praise, then things will be a little bit unsatisfactory.

Praise, in fact, is to appease.

But behind the appeasement, there are calculations and chills.

What exactly is a compliment?
Or reprimand?

No one can tell.

Presumably for this reason, everyone in the group felt a little uneasy. In the uneasy, a loud shout resounded through the audience, "The imperial envoy has arrived."

This cry woke up all the generals who were immersed in a disturbed mood. The generals and civil servants at all levels came back to their senses, and they all greeted each other, saying in unison: "You have seen the imperial envoy."

Dong Tiancheng got off his horse, cupped his hands with a smile, and said in a loud voice: "Generals and colleagues, before leaving, the officials have something to say, you have worked hard to guard Zhennan City and resist Annan. I respect the emperor, and I will definitely do it for you." Honorable generals and colleagues.”

Just a blank check.

Can't be true.

But some generals and civil servants took Dong Tiancheng's empty check seriously.

Being an official for thousands of miles is not for money, or for the name of the picture, or for his own future.

These three things, as an imperial envoy, Dong Tiancheng can bestow on everyone.

Therefore, after hearing Dong Tiancheng's empty promise, some people with active minds immediately had some strange thoughts in their hearts.

Dong Tiancheng is not a roundworm in their stomachs, so naturally he doesn't know what these people really think, even if he knows, Dong Tiancheng doesn't have the energy and time to care about these insignificant little shrimps.

Dong Tiancheng's thoughts.

On the person closest to him, this person is a general. According to the information from the spy, this general is the number one general under Zhao Du's command.

Subdue him.

It is equivalent to subduing one-third of Zhao Du's troops.

Therefore, Dong Tiancheng's eyes paused on him for about thirty seconds.

Seeing Dong Tiancheng looking at him, the general who was closest to Dong Tiancheng smiled and said to Dong Tiancheng: "It is said that Mr. Dong is young and promising, but the general thought it was a rumor. Seeing him today proved that the general is a frog in a well. Master Dong is already a second-rank General Huwei at such a young age, he will definitely be crowned king and general in the future, what a hero out of a boy."

Dong Tiancheng didn't speak, but Ah Er behind Dong Tiancheng murmured on purpose.Although the voice of this murmur was low, all the people around happened to hear it, and the content of this murmur was related to Dong Tiancheng's visit to Xiangyang City with Zhao Qi.

General, the best attribution is to die in battle.And what Dong Tiancheng did some time ago happened to be something that the generals present wanted to do, but failed to do.

So they are envious, and jealous.

Envy and jealousy are the biggest flaws in the human body, but they are also the biggest motivation for people. Under the influence of envy and jealousy, people will burst out [-]% of their energy to do something.

This is undoubtedly what Dong Tiancheng wants to see.

Seeing envy in the eyes of some generals, Dong Tiancheng knew that his strategy had worked. According to the previously discussed strategy, after Ah Er finished speaking, Dong Tiancheng deliberately and loudly reprimanded Ah Er Two, "Ah Er, these trivial matters should not be preached. The generals and civil servants present guarded Zhennan City and prevented Annan from invading. It's just that the people don't know it. Compared with me, they are more heroes. They threw their heads and sprinkled Passionate, stationed in Zhennan City, maintaining the safety of one side, so that the enemies in Annan dare not..."

Dong Tiancheng was a master of drama, and he talked a lot to buy people's hearts. These words really moved some people who cared.

of course.

There were also people who didn't like Dong Tiancheng's tricks. When Dong Tiancheng reprimanded Ah Er and used excuses to buy people's hearts, he interjected at the right time and said in a deep voice: "Master Imperial Envoy, shouldn't it be time to announce the decree?"

Dong Tiancheng slapped his head, walked up to Zhao Du as if waking up from a dream, bent down and said apologetically: "My lord, it was the last general who was negligent for a while, and forgot his imperial mission, so please forgive me, I will declare the decree now." , and ask the prince to set up the incense table and kneel down to welcome the imperial decree."

The imperial decree is divided into upper, middle and lower decrees. Except for the upper decree, which requires the recipient to kneel down, the rest of the middle and lower decrees do not require the recipient to kneel down.

What Dong Tiancheng brought was the heaviest imperial decree. Besides the jade seal of Emperor Zhao Qi, it also had the great seal of the cabinet.

In other words, the imperial decree brought by Dong Tiancheng was passed and issued after deliberation by the cabinet and courtiers, so Zhao Du had to kneel down to welcome it.
