Chapter 194: General Pingxi's bluntness
Seeing that Zhou Fei was stunned, Guo Zhenying continued: "The eldest prince has collapsed, the fourth prince has fallen out of favor, and now for now, the most likely to inherit the throne is His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince born to the queen's mother. And I am also destined to be loyal to the Six Princes in the future, there is no doubt about that. ”
Zhou Fei sighed: "This is very good." ”
Guo Zhenying said: "I used to be an errand boy in the queen's mother's house, and I watched the queen's mother grow up. ”
Zhou Fei sighed: "It's a lot of relationship. ”
Guo Zhenying saw that Zhou Fei was still talking about him, frowned, and said, "I hope to get your favor." ”
Zhou Fei sighed: "General Guo, the academy has never been involved in these things, you should know." ”
Guo Zhenying said: "That was before, but now it's different. ”
"What's the difference?" Zhou Fei asked.
"You are the representative of the college. Guo Zhenying said: "You are a person who has entered the academy, so you will naturally be contaminated in this mortal world, this is your mission, just like the mission of our soldiers is to defeat the invading enemy." ”
Speaking of this, Guo Zhenying raised his eyebrows, leaned into Zhou Fei's ear and whispered, "Meng Zhulu is already old." ”
Zhou Fei was shocked.
If the emperor hears this, it will definitely be a treason.
I didn't expect that the queen who looked gentle on weekdays turned out to be a careerist.
Guo Zhenying noticed the subtle changes in Zhou Fei's facial expression, and grinned: "Gongzi Zhou, there are some court secrets that I can't talk about at will, that's a big crime of disrespect." But you have to believe that the queen has absolutely no ill feelings towards you, on the contrary, she feels very indebted to you. After all, General Zhou's business back then ......"
"Shut up. ”
The last thing Zhou Fei wanted was for someone to mention his father, which would make him feel very angry.
Guo Zhenying shrugged: "Okay, don't talk about it." ”
Zhou Fei said: "It's useless for you to look for me, I'm alone, and I can't change the situation." ”
Guo Zhenying laughed: "Gongzi Zhou, Mr. Six, you really underestimate your influence. It's too early to talk about that, though, and I just want to get your favor right now. ”
Zhou Fei nodded: "That being the case, I have a question I want to consult." ”
"Although Mr. Six asked, he knew everything he could say. Guo Zhenying made a gesture of please.
Zhou Fei said: "Your Majesty asked you to go to Xianyang, what is the matter? Don't tell me that it's because of the Flower Food Festival, there is no need to send a real power in the army to send it during the Flower Food Festival." ”
Guo Zhenying smiled slightly and said: "There is nothing to hide, Your Majesty asked me to go to Xianyang, mainly to discuss the next fight against the barbarians." ”
Zhou Fei frowned: "Haven't the barbarians been beaten away by Meng Zhulu?"
Guo Zhenying shook his head: "That's just for a while, the vitality of the barbarians is super tenacious, give them a little hope and they can reproduce extremely quickly." What we have to do is to extinguish their renewed hope once and for all. ”
In all fairness, Zhou Fei didn't have any opinion on barbarians, after all, his nephew Feng Huayue was a barbarian, and he was also the saintess of the Demon Sect.
But others don't think so.
Years of propaganda have demonized the barbarians.
The Garan Temple is the last thing to see barbarians settle on the grasslands, which means that the Demon Cult has gained a new stronghold, and it will become uncontrollable again and eventually develop to the point where it can compete with the temple.
The Seven Kingdoms of the Great Wilderness also did not want to see the barbarians become strong.
Barbarians are the most fertile, they can reproduce an entire generation in a very short time, and each man is guaranteed to become a powerful and unrivaled fighting force.
If there are more people, more food is needed, and the grassland is not suitable for farming, so it is necessary to go south to grab the cultivated land, and the cultivated land with rich water and soil is in the hands of the Seven Kingdoms, among which the Tang Dynasty has the most control, so when the barbarians become stronger, then sooner or later they will fight with the Tang Dynasty.
Zhou Fei was silent for a long time, and said tentatively: "Maybe it won't come so early, maybe the barbarians won't reproduce so quickly, or maybe it's ......."
Guo Zhenying interrupted Zhou Fei's words: "Mr. Six, kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself. Anything that is unfavorable to Datang is best nippled in the bud, rather than waiting until it is impossible to contain it before making a hasty move, even if it can win at that time, it will definitely pay a great price. Don't forget, the enemies of the Tang Dynasty are not only the barbarians, but also the other six countries. ”
Zhou Fei knew that he had some womanly kindness.
But he really didn't like war.
He must have personally come into contact with the barbarians, and know what is the difference between them and the Tang and Chu people, they all have one nose and two eyes, at most they have strong bones, after all, they have lived in the bitter cold land of the extreme north for a long time, and the races without a strong body will be destroyed.
Zhou Fei rubbed his nose and sneezed.
"General Guo, do you believe what Lin Dong said?" Zhou Fei suddenly changed the topic and asked.
Guo Zhenying was stunned.
He couldn't have imagined that the topic could jump so quickly.
One second he was talking about barbarians, but this second he turned into a cold winter.
However, he still thought about it very seriously before answering, "I don't believe it." ”
"But in recent years, Chang'an has become colder and colder, and this year even broke out after the beginning of spring. ”
"When I was a child, I had several snowstorms, all of which were worse than this one. ”
"General Guo, it doesn't seem like what we're talking about is a topic. ”
"Mr. Six, I am General Pingxi, and I am naturally in the west all year round. Although the west is not as warm as Lingnan, it is not very cold. ”
Zhou Fei stared at Guo Zhenying's eyes and asked word by word: "Then tell me, why did the barbarians flee from the bitter cold land in the extreme north, they have endured it for thousands of years, why do they want to flee at this time." ”
Guo Zhenying was silent.
After a cup of tea, Guo Zhenying spoke, "I am a soldier, so I will answer you in the way of a soldier, if there is really such a day, the soldiers of Datang will fight until the last moment, and the place where the Datang Iron Cavalry arrives is the territory of my Datang." Whoever offends me in my Datang Territory, no matter what it is, is the enemy of my Datang Iron Cavalry!"
This sounds uplifting, but it has no practical effect at all.
Zhou Fei's heart seemed to be a little confused, and politely refused Guo Zhenying's request to stay with him for dinner, and got up to say goodbye.
Guo Zhenying sent Zhou Fei outside the main hall and watched his voice disappear into another boat.
At this moment, Guo Zhenying's eyes were complicated.
"Someone, pen and ink waiting, I want to write a letter. Guo Zhenying suddenly said loudly.
This letter is addressed to the queen.
He had to tell Zhou Fei's attitude to the queen mother.
Because Zhou Fei's attitude is the attitude of the academy.
As for the approaching winter...... Guo Zhenying did not mention a word in the letter. I want to talk about "The Strongest Waste Material System" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
