Seeing Yan Zhong, Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but think of the famous Chenqiao Mutiny in history.

At that time, Zhao Kuangyin was so similar to Huangfu Song's situation at this time, Yan Zhong was like Zhao Kuangyin's group of subordinates, impatient to put on a yellow robe for Zhao Kuangyin, and in the end, Zhao Kuangyin was difficult to ride a tiger, so he had to take advantage of the situation.

Therefore, even if it is not Huangfu Song, if any cat or dog reaches this position, the choice they face is the same.

At this time, there will always be many characters like Yan Zhong, under the banner of helping the righteousness, under the guise of saving the people of Limin.

But at the end of the day, these people are fundamentally motivated by their own vested interests.

"Are you finished?"

In the study, Huangfu Song's eyes were deep, he looked at Yan Zhong, since the other party's words had already been said to this point, he couldn't continue to remain silent.

"Yan County Order, if you were born in troubled times, with your talents, you will be able to establish immortal achievements, but now that the world is stable, Your Majesty only changed the Yuan and granted amnesty to the world half a month ago."

Huangfu Song looked at Yan Zhong deeply, at this time, he had to make his position clear.

"My Emperor Fu Song is just a mediocre talent, besides, now that the people of today have not completely abandoned the Han Dynasty, God will not protect the rebellious and rebellious people, Zhang Jiao is a living example, if I follow what you say, regardless of the reality to create the so-called merits, it will only invite disaster."

"Rather than that, it's better to abide by the duty of being a courtier, the old man has just stabilized the world, and in the blink of an eye, he is going to trouble the world, isn't it ridiculous?"

"You're right, there are many people in the court who are eyeing the old man, and there are many people who say that I am not, but for the old man, the worst outcome is dismissal and exile, real gold is not afraid of red furnace fire, my Huangfu Song only wants a clear conscience in his life, Yan County Order, you have found the wrong person."

When he said the last sentence, Huangfu Song deliberately accentuated his voice, and a momentum of not being angry and arrogant emanated from him, and Yan Zhong's body trembled unconsciously.

Taking a deep breath, Yan Zhong bowed deeply to Huangfu Song: "Huangfu Song's righteousness is really worthy of being a pillar of the Han Dynasty, loyal and respectful." ”

After that, without waiting for Huangfu Song to speak, Yan Zhong hurriedly withdrew from the study, and after leaving Huangfu Song's mansion, he rode his horse and quickly left Gaoyi County as fast as possible.

Power can make people lose themselves.

In the face of the temptation of the throne, people's desires will be infinitely magnified, especially when this person has the strength to compete for the throne, it is difficult to control himself.

However, Huangfu Song did not lose himself, he was sober from beginning to end.

Huangfu Song, who was deeply influenced by Confucianism since childhood, mobilized troops like a god in the military, but in politics, he did not have much enterprising spirit.

Huangfu Song has the real talent to set things right and turn the tide when he is in danger, but he has no idea of disturbing the world and dominating one side in his bones.

Maybe in the eyes of some people, they will think that Huangfu Song is timid and dare not take risks, but if Huangfu Song is really timid, then how many people in this world dare to say that they are bold?

A decisive general, not afraid of the powerful, not afraid of anyone's resentment, such a person, what is so terrible?

It is precisely because he knows that Huangfu Song is by no means a timid and afraid person, so Jiang Xiaobai, who is secretly watching all this, is more and more unable to figure it out.

After 400 years of rain, snow, wind and frost, the Han Dynasty has reached the end of its life, decadent, dilapidated, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty is greedy for pleasure, the ten permanent servants are chaotic in the dynasty, the dictatorship of foreign relatives, and the family valve has its own ghost.

And Huangfu Song has a heavy army, and the people's hearts are returned, he can use Jizhou as a base, and use this army to enter Luoyang, Qing Jun's side, punish eunuchs, reorganize the dynasty, and then replace it......

After Yan Zhong left, Jiang Xiaobai looked at Huangfu Song who was standing alone in the study in a daze, he thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out why Huangfu Song would rather fall into a desperate situation by himself than overthrow the corrupt Han court and change the dynasty.

Huangfu Song's approach, in Jiang Xiaobai's view, is a typical foolish loyalty.

Ants still spare their lives.

For the sake of so-called loyalty, giving away one's life to others is not what foolishness is!

Jiang Xiaobai thought of Yue Fei in the Southern Song Dynasty, and died too aggrieved.

And thinking that Huangfu Song would end up like Yue Fei in the future, Jiang Xiaobai felt a nameless anger rise in the depths of his heart, he didn't want to see that scene, a good person should have a good death.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaobai was impulsive, and he didn't care that the night was late, and the time was early in the morning, he left the room and walked to Huangfu Song's study.

"Shuaizhi, haven't slept so late?"

Seeing Jiang Xiaobai enter the study with an angry expression, Huangfu Song was quite surprised: "Who made you wronged?" ”

"No, according to your non-disadvantaged nature, no one must be able to make you feel wronged, so what's wrong with you?"

At this time, Huangfu Song talked and laughed funny, and there was no trace of Yan Zhong trying to persuade him to rebel a quarter of an hour ago in this study.

With this calm concentration alone, Jiang Xiaobai is ashamed of himself.

Jiang Xiaobai calmed down from his impulsiveness, he groaned slightly, and looked at Huangfu Song seriously: "Old general, what Yan Zhong said in the study before, I ...... I heard it all. ”

When he said this, Jiang Xiaobai's voice was very small, and he lowered his head like a child who made a mistake, Huangfu Song was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "It's not something unsightly, just hear it." ”

Huangfu Song didn't blame Jiang Xiaobai, which made Jiang Xiaobai breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, he looked at Huang Fu Song: "Old general, I came to you late at night because I had doubts, I think Yan Zhong's words are very right, I thought about it for a long time, I can't figure out why you are indifferent?" ”

Hearing this, Huangfu Song was silent for a long time.

Half an hour later, just as Jiang Xiaobai was thinking about whether to leave the study, Huangfu Song sighed deeply.

"I'm old."

Three simple words, revealing the twilight of the sunset, Jiang Xiaobai was slightly stunned, and only remembered after Huang Fu Song reminded him that Huang Fu Song's age is now fifty or six, which is considered an old man in this era.

"The old man is old, and even though he has all kinds of pride in his heart, this aging body can't support so much ambition and desire."

"Shuaizhi, have you ever thought that once the old man gets into trouble, the relatives and eunuchs in the court will sit idly by? Will the family gate valve under the court sit still? Not long after the people have settled down, they will be plunged into the chaos of war, and they will have to face the days of ruins and displacement......"

"Even if I am lucky enough to ascend to the supreme throne in the world, have you ever thought about the terrible price I have paid in the process? If at that time, many nomadic tribes outside the Seychelles, led by the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qian, Qiang, and Di tribes, took the opportunity to attack them, where would we have the strength to confront others? ”

"At that time, we who had just experienced the war were fish on the chopping board, and we were left to slaughter."
