In the bustling city where people from Bianjing were crowded with taverns and restaurants, and the streets were bustling with citizens. Feng Dao, who had finished his official duties, just finished his cup of tea slowly and left a few cents to walk out of the teahouse. During this period, he would chat with the familiar peddlers and pawns, and he had no official airs at all.

Even though he has accumulated qualifications, Feng Dao has now become the deputy supervisor of Dongyuan, Bianjing, who is under the seventh rank, but he has only been promoted to the next level. Among the Beijing official group, he is still a grassroots official.

Feng Dao was very diligent during his tenure, and in theory he knew the worldly ways... Even the clerks around him had advised him that, in terms of the official position of Feng Dao, he was also arguing with officials of the Gao Yu faction. He also had to do more favors and gain the appreciation of senior officials in the court such as Gao Yu, and that would not be promoted to the official position, which was much slower than other colleagues.

Especially if you are appreciated by Gao Yu's husband, you will also point out an open path to officials close to him and have the opportunity to handle business tax matters. Who wouldn't make a fortune?

However, Feng Dao still acted in his past style. Although he was responsible for what his superiors and officials told him, he did not dare to neglect at all. However, he kept a distance from the Beijing officials of the Gaoyu faction, regardless of their rank. In short, I would not offend you, but I would not be able to flatter you and please you.

First, he was the youngest among the imperial examinations in the same period. However, after several years, Feng Dao, who is now in his twenties, is at least in his capital under the seventh rank, at least in the officialdom.

And the boss who had deliberately praised Feng Dao, gradually put this seemingly unintelligent figure behind his head. After all, there are many officials in Gao Yu, Li Zhen, and even Duan Ning, so why promote such a small official who is just a mustard seed?

But Feng Dao is happy every day. Even if he has only been promoted to another level over the years, he doesn't seem to care at all. And senior officials such as Li Zhen, Gao Yu, Duan Ning... are already tacit in the court. Although the gods fight and the little ghosts suffer, Feng Dao's current status will not be taken seriously by the big bosses in the court.

When Feng Dao returned to an alley in the west of the city and walked straight to his home, which was somewhat cramped with his colleagues. Suddenly, he heard the rumbling sound in the sky. Looking up, he saw that the sky was already covered with dark clouds. The pedestrians on the street also accelerated their pace and were busy looking for places to hide from the rain. Feng Dao carried his hands on his back, looked for a moment, and said meaningfully:

"It seems that the weather is about to change..."

In the imperial study room of the Imperial City Neiyuan, a secret spy from the Patrol Guards Department had already told reporters about Feng Dao’s deeds over the years. Such a small official would not attract the attention of the emperor of the dynasty. Although Feng Dao was diligent in his work and was kind to the people, he never neglected his duties... In fact, his reputation in the officialdom can be said to be mediocre, he would hardly conflict with his colleagues, and he never tended to form cliques and join any faction.

"This Feng Dao...is worthy of being called a tumbler in politics by later generations..."

Li Tianqu was thinking casually. He knew that although Feng Dao seemed to be low-key in dealing with people, he must not only noticed that the phenomenon of forming cliques in the court was becoming more and more serious, but also could guess the emperor who was superior and did not know nothing about the actions of the powerful and powerful in the court to form cliques... Feng Dao had already realized that the storm was coming, so he could keep himself alone. This seemed to others not know how to cater to the superior, and in the officialdom, he was destined to be a small person with a bumpy career.

However, the curry favor with the powerful was too obvious. The officials who formed gangs thought they had a backer, but they didn't know that their actions were all clearly investigated by the emperor of the dynasty. The powerful ministers who cultivated the treacherous party were eventually eradicated. As for Feng Dao, a smart man, it was almost time for him to emerge...

That night, Li Tianqu sent an order to summon Wang Yanzhang, the chief inspector of the Palace Front Office, and issued a secret order. The imperial guards of the Palace Front Office rushed to the official residences in various places in Bianjing with murderous aura.

A mansion outside Donghua Gate is also the official residence of Duan Ning, who is now a third-rank Dongdu Guard General. After all, when Chang'an was captured by the Wei army, Duan Ning led tens of thousands of Liang troops to surrender. Although Li Tianqu knew that this guy was a man, in order to appease the surrendered ministers, he had to make a high official and generous salary in public.

However, Duan Ning was in Liang State and was in a traitor with Zhao Yan and others, and framed Zhongliang. In order to suppress our military power, he was still a traitor who behaved and bullied his subordinates.

Although Duan Ning had to keep a low profile for a while because of the status of a surrendered general in Liang State, he thought he had joined the way of Wang Bingen, the minister of the eunuch. Li Tianqu made a deliberate arrangement and also gave him some sweetness. Duan Ning thought that with the help of the emperor, he would not change his mind and still wanted to do things to benefit others and harm his colleagues.

However, today, more than a hundred military soldiers with guns and swords were knocked into Duan Ning's residence. Outside, there were soldiers in front of the hall that had blocked all directions and blocked the wind and rain. The house was in chaos, and the maids and servants were quickly controlled by the soldiers who rushed into the residence.

Duan Ning, who had heard a strange noise, immediately rushed out of the main hall. He looked at the soldiers holding bright weapons in shock, and approached him step by step. Even though he realized that it was the imperial guard in front of the palace that was crashing into his mansion, it was almost certain that the Emperor of Wei Dynasty issued an order to take him... But Duan Ning still subconsciously shouted:

"You are so brave, you dare to trek into my mansion!"

"How can you break into your mansion? According to Your Majesty's will, you will dare to resist, a villain who is trying to charm you, the villain who bullies you, will you dare to resist!"

It was like a sudden thunderbolt suddenly hitting in the clear sky, which made Duan Ning shocked. When he looked at it again, his face turned pale and his thoughts of struggling to resist were gone...

Because Duan Ning saw that Wang Yanzhang, wearing armor, was wearing a big gun in his arms, and was walking like a house with a majestic war horse. He was condescending and glaring at him. His spirit of life and death was as powerful as a god... Duan Ning of course knew very well that Wang Yanzhang, as the chief general of the Wei Dynasty, even if he fought alone, he was afraid that ten of them would still be Wang Yanzhang alone. Not to mention that with Wang Yanzhang's position in the Wei Dynasty's army, what qualifications does Duan Ning, the general of the Eastern Du Guard, have to challenge the other party!

What Duan Ning didn't know was that Wang Yanzhang would have surrendered to Zhu Wen to serve, and it was because he hated Wang Tieqin's prestige in the Liang army, so he conspired with Zhao Yan and other foreign relatives, slandered the last emperor of the Later Liang Dynasty, concealed Wang Yanzhang's military achievements, and even falsely accused him of his ineffective command of his troops and underestimating the enemy... Then he tried to harm Wang Yanzhang and was stripped of his military power. He fought alone and was inevitably defeated by the Later Tang army, and ended up with hatred...

But Duan Ning killed Wang Yanzhang as he wished, and became the leader of the Liang Dynasty army for less than a hundred days. He had no ability to resist the fierce attack of the Later Tang army, and led 60,000 troops to surrender. He also used his clever words and wisdom to flatter and bribe the means of waiting for the superiors, and flatter the actors and treacherous people and betrayal for a long time...

However, Wang Yanzhang, who is still respected in the military under the will of Li Tianqu, personally led the elite soldiers of the Palace Front Office to take down Duan Ning, the enemy he had originally been killed...

Although Duan Ning is a military general, he has a self-knowledge and knows that he will never be Wang Yanzhang's opponent. So when he saw Wang Tieqian committing suicide, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. He barely squeezed out a smile on his face that was even more ugly than crying, and he said hesitantly:

"The king's inspection... There must be some misunderstandings in this. The official... asked himself that he had any mistakes and was not guilty. Why should he bother you to come here in person? The official should express his feelings to His Majesty, express his grievances, and hope that the official... can be convenient for him..."

However, before Duan Ning finished speaking, he saw Wang Yanzhang glaring at him and shouting sternly:

"Even if you have any faults, you are not guilty? Duan Ning, you are so shameless! If it weren't for Your Majesty's wiseness, I would have been almost concealed by you, a villain!"
