Chapter 398: The World Is Like Chess

Gu Qing also heard a little about the private discussions of the soldiers of the Anxi Army, as the commander, he naturally had to control the army strictly, especially the morale of the soldiers and the mentality of the soldiers, but Gu Qing did not think that the complaints of the soldiers had anything to do with the mutiny.

In the previous life, so many people complained about the leaders and elders, and I didn't see anyone really stand up and rebel, usually after the complaining, forget it, how to live the life or how to live, the complaining is just a psychological venting, and appropriate complaining is even beneficial to mental health and mental stability.

Of course, the husband complains about his wife This kind of thing should be treated differently, if the head is not iron enough, it is best not to try it easily, the nature of this kind of complaining is similar to dancing on the tip of a knife, and a wrong rhythm is the end of a broken family or a broken husband.

"Pei Yushi is too worried, the soldiers are just breaking their mouths in private, it's not that serious." Gu Qing shook his head and smiled: "Anxi Jun is loyal to His Majesty to the imperial court, please don't have any doubts about Pei Yushi." ”

Pei Zhounan sighed: "Master Hou, do you know what the lower officials are doing when they come to Anxi, to be honest, the lower officials don't want to take care of this kind of thing, and they annoy the Hou Ye and the soldiers, who wants to be a wicked person?" But since there are signs of it, the subordinate officials cannot turn a blind eye to their duties, otherwise they will be derelict in their duties. ”

Gu Qing's smile gradually froze, narrowed his eyes and said, "What should Pei Yushi do?" ”

Pei Zhounan hesitated for a moment, lowered his head and said, "Please allow the lower officials to take down a few people who are the leaders of the discussion monarch to set an example." ”

Gu Qing laughed, with a cold look in his eyes: "Kill a few chickens to show the monkeys?" Pei Yushi, are you an ornament when I am the envoy of this festival? ”

Pei Zhounan hurriedly said: "How dare the lower official be the Hou Ye is an ornament, if there is such a thought, the lower official will not come to ask the Hou Ye to agree, but the duty is where the duty lies, I have to do it, please understand the Hou Ye for one or two." ”

Gu Qing sighed, and said lightly: "Since you came to ask me, I will reply to you, Pei Yushi, remember, my answer is ,—— not allowed!" ”

"If you dare to touch any soldier of my Anxi Army, don't blame me for turning my face."

Pei Zhounan said angrily: "Master Hou, this matter is related to the loyalty of the Anxi Army, and I also ask Master Hou to be reasonable, don't insist on going your own way." ”

Gu Qing smiled: "Of course I'm reasonable, you may not have seen me when I'm unreasonable, believe me, it's definitely not like this gentle drizzle at this moment, if I'm unreasonable, you should hang on the flagpole at this time and flutter in the wind." ”

"The soldiers below are all vulgar men in the army, casually discuss a few words, make a few complaints, but Pei Yushi treats it as a big thing, if you are idle in Anxi, I can send you to lead the army out to patrol the border, don't come to cause chaos for my Anxi army, heh, your mother-in-law complains to you at home, do you want to cut your mother-in-law with a knife?"

Pei Zhounan was furious: "Master Hou, please cultivate some morality, how can this matter be compared with family affairs?" ”

With this person who added to the chaos, Gu Qing's mood suddenly became very bad, and the mutton in front of him was not fragrant.

took out a towel and wiped his mouth, Gu Qing sighed: "Pei Yushi, you should really be glad that my temper is much better now, really, you don't know how lucky you are, the quarrel between the two big men is ugly, I won't argue with you, there is only one sentence, I'm a soldier of the Anxi Army, you'd better not move a single cold hair, otherwise you will see with your own eyes what my temper suddenly deteriorates, Han Jie, send off." ”

Han Jie stepped forward, pressed the sword with one hand, stretched out the other, and said with a cold expression: "Pei Yushi, please!" ”

Pei Zhounan wanted to be angry but didn't dare, so he had to get up angrily, walked two steps and turned his head to look at Gu Qing, and suddenly sighed: "Master Hou, the lower official doesn't want to be your enemy, but the lower official is also under the emperor's order, and what should be played must be performed. ”

After speaking, Pei Zhounan turned his head and left.

Gu Qing stared at his back, and his expression suddenly appeared a little tired.

Although he is already a prince, he is not a soil emperor who does whatever he wants after all, no matter how high he sits, he has constraints and constraints as a last resort.

A pair of slender, fair-skinned tenders caressed his shoulders and gently rubbed them on his shoulders.

"Hou Ye is already the lord of Anxi, I didn't expect to be so unhappy, aren't people in the world really happy?" Huangfu thinks about the quiet and authentic.

Gu Qing sighed: "Even if you are the lord of the world, you may not be happy......

Think of Li Longji, he may be an exception. The Son of Peace, who enjoyed forty years of peace alone, not only ruled the peaceful and prosperous world, but also snatched a stunning beauty from his son in old age and came back to grind with him day and night, whether he was middle-aged or old, it can be said that he was very happy, but he was a little morally degraded.

After all, such people are only a very small minority, and most of them are busy all their lives, like dogs, and they are still chess pieces in the hands of others after all.

"How many people work hard all their lives, in fact, they just want to be a chess player......" Gu Qing sighed abruptly: "It's a pity, the world is like chess, everyone in the world is a chess piece, how many people are in chess?" ”

Huangfu Sisi stared at his face and said softly, "Does Master Hou also want to be a chess player?" ”

Gu Qing said calmly: "Of course I want to, otherwise why would I want to come to this desolate frontier place?" ”

"When will Master Hou become a chess player?"

"Maybe you can't become a chess player in your life, half of it is a plan, half of it is God's will." Gu Qing said with a gloomy expression.

Huangfu Sisi's gaze became deeper and deeper, and the tenderness in his eyes was like an old wine that had just been unsealed in the mud, so rich that it could not be dissolved.

"If Master Hou becomes a chess player, this game of chess must be very interesting......"

Gu Qing smiled and said, "Okay, don't talk to me about these rebellious topics, I am a loyal minister and a good general of the imperial court." ”

Huangfu Sisi snorted, his face was rosy for some reason, and he changed the topic and said: "In addition to being a chess player, what else does Hou Ye want to do in this life?" ”

Gu Qing looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the store with deep eyes, and said leisurely: "After playing a game of chess, no matter whether you win or lose, throw your son away, find a desolate place with vicissitudes of life, and open an open-air shop with tea and wine, specially entertaining passers-by, resting merchants, and frustrated disembowel-breaking people......"

Huangfu Sisi was puzzled and said, "Why does Hou Ye have such a strange thought? ”

Gu Qing's eyelids drooped, and he said softly: "To be able to get to this day, it is all forced by the world, I was originally a teenager in a barren mountain village, when I walked out of the mountain village, I just wanted to see the scenery outside, but now the scenery is tired of seeing, and I want to return but can't return, so I can only finish this game of chess and do something I really want to do, such as opening a small shop with wine and tea......"

Huangfu Sisi was curious: "What does Master Hou really want to do is to open a small shop?" ”

"Yes, sitting in the shop, watching all kinds of people gather and disperse with me, listening to them tell half a life of sorrow, half a life of joy, half a life of continuous fate, half a life of unforgettable people, everyone who passes by, has a different story, listening to their stories, it can be regarded as enriching my life. You can't experience all the joys and sorrows in your own life, and listening to other people's stories is not another kind of fun. ”

"I only have one game of chess in my life, and I will play this game with all my might, and for the rest of my life, I will live the way I really want."

Huangfu Sisi's eyes flashed a little confused, and he said softly: "Is the Hou Ye's shop willing to accept me as a maid who pours wine and water?" ”

"If you're willing to wear a maid's outfit, white stockings, and a fox tail......"

…………

Yingzhou City.

Yingzhou is a military city, when Gaozong led the troops to the east to conquer Goguryeo, Yingzhou was the rear base camp of the Tang army, as a city for hoarding soldiers, grain, grass and ordnance, there were more soldiers in the city than the people, and it was also an important city of Pinglu Jiefu, one of the three towns.

A military hoarding place outside Yingzhou City, where a large amount of grain, grass and weapons are hoarded, and on the vast plain grassland, countless war horses are lazily hanging their heads and gnawing on the grass.

Feng Yu stood outside the military hoarding ground with a smile, looking at the soldiers who were heavily guarded and patrolling back and forth, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened.

Behind Feng Yu was a mighty group of grain trucks, full of grain, five thousand stones of grain and grass that had just arrived in Yingzhou from Xuzhou via the Grand Canal.

Shi Siming was not at ease, after all, it was the first time to do business with Feng Yu, so he personally inspected the grain, took samples from each car and carefully inspected it, and after making sure that all the grain was edible, Shi Siming was relieved, and his mood suddenly became more and more comfortable, and he trusted Feng Yu a little more.

"Haha, Brother Feng, don't blame, don't be sloppy about military aircraft, it's not that I don't believe you, checking grain and grass is a rule in the army, and Shi doesn't dare to disobey Marshal Anjie's general's order, otherwise he will eat military sticks." Shi Siming laughed.

Feng Yu said with a smile: "General Shi acts rigorously and does things safely, and the foolish brother admires him very much, and he should do things properly." ”

Shi Siming hooked his shoulders affectionately, and said with a smile: "After the grain and grass are checked, you and I can drink a lot in the evening, and I will come to do the east tonight, and I will make sure you are satisfied and go home." ”

"By the way, let's talk about buying grain and grass again, you and my brother will give you another big deal, this time I want 20,000 stones, the price is easy to say."

Feng Yu suddenly showed a look of surprise, and hurriedly thanked: "General Shi is high-minded, the foolish brother is grateful to his heart, General Shi can rest assured, the foolish brother is also a person who doesn't understand the rules, the price is negotiated, and the heart of General Shi's chat will not be ...... at all."

Shi Siming laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's still good to talk to Brother Feng, haha, unlike other businessmen, who are so fat that they are about to run oil, but the finger seams are tight, and they don't want to leak out at all." ”

Feng Yu smiled proudly: "My Feng family has been a businessman for three generations, and I can get to where I am today because I understand the rules and never be greedy for a momentary cheapness, such a person is destined to not be big." ”

Shi Siming laughed and dragged Feng Yu to leave, but Feng Yu stood and refused to leave.

"General Shi, forgive me, you do things steadily and rigorously, and the foolish brother does things without leakage, so the foolish brother has a reluctant request, can you allow the foolish brother to enter this army hoarding place, let me see my five thousand stone grain into the granary, so that I can be completely assured, otherwise if the grain enters the army hoarding granary, and then something goes wrong, the foolish brother really can't afford it."
