Chapter 7: The Master (I)

"Childe is back, Childe is back! Master. ”

The old housekeeper was very excited, shouted loudly, and trotted out all the way to greet Rukawa Kaede and the others.

"Ah Fu, you are getting younger and younger, and you are still blessed, it seems that you have had a good life in the past few years." Liu Chuanfeng said with a smile.

"Childe said with a smile, come in, the master is practicing calligraphy, it is estimated that he will not come out in a while and a half, are these your guards...... Well, they're all spiritual guys, not bad. Butler Ah Fu smiled.

"You can find an inn outside and stay first." Rukawa Kaede said to the eight hundred guards behind him.

"Stinky boy! When I came, I didn't know how to send someone to report it first, so I didn't practice my words well. ”

A man of lofty style strode out of the courtyard, it was really a dragon and a tiger, majestic, and quite similar to Rukawa Kaede.

"Daddy."

"Haha, good, good, I've grown taller, I'm stronger, I'm three points taller than me! also fought a good fight, okay, worthy of being my son of Liuchuan Yuanyang, good drops! ”

Come and knock on the east, pat on the west, look up and down, left and right, the eyes of the Liuchuan ocean tiger are full of love, and the guards behind him are moved.

Han Duan whispered even more sourly, and was stopped by Gan Lin.

"Ah, I'm really old, I don't have a good memory, you are all great heroes who follow my son, you are warriors, good, I heard that this kid wants you to go to the guest house?" Rukawa Yuanyang patted his head and said with a smile.

"Back to the prince, yes, he doesn't care about us anymore." Han Duan stood up straight and said loudly.

"I'll beat him later, your name is Han Quan, I've heard of you, you killed the Sixteen Prefectures by yourself, it's good, you have the demeanor of my youth!"

"They're too weak to be beaten." Han Duan looked proud and bragged.

"The cows have been blown up to the sky by you, and they are shameless." Gan Lin said from the side.

"Good boy, there's a kind." The prince praised them, and then said to them, "You will live in my palace first, a lot of empty houses, you can live in the grievances and crowd, the outside is too chaotic, the fees are too high, it is not cost-effective, Ah Fu, you go and tidy up, settle the houses of the warriors." ”

"Yes."

"Thank you, Lord Wang."

"Daddy is mighty!"

"Okay, don't be poor with me, you all go in and clean up, set up a banquet tonight, kill pigs and chickens!"

"Yay! Finally, I had meat again, and I almost forgot the taste of meat. ”

Everyone was overjoyed, and the gluttonous worms in their stomachs were hooked.

In the evening, the Hou Wang's Mansion was brightly lit and lively, with a table of sumptuous dishes and wine, and people who were excited and excited, of course, no one considered the feelings of pigs and chickens.

After simply communicating with his father for a while, Rukawa Kaede left his subordinates, sneaked out of the palace, rode his new mount, Chiyun Ju, and galloped away in the direction of Wuhou Ju.

Wuhou Ju is located in the central area of Chang'an, but the environment is very secluded, ordinary people can't enter at all, but Liuchuan Feng rode a tall horse, holding a token, all the way unimpeded, and soon came to the vicinity of the master's residence, he dismounted a mile away, crossed a bamboo forest surrounded by a stream, walked to the door of the courtyard, and knocked on the door.

"Who, in the middle of the night, if it's okay, come tomorrow, the master here is already asleep."

There was a lazy voice from inside, but it was very kind to hear it in the ears of Rukawa Kaede.

"Teacher, you still like to make fun of students."

"Oh? Student? Where do I have any students! ”

"Uh......"

Rukawa Kaede stood at the door in a daze with empty hands.

"That's how you came?"

The door opened, and a tall old man blew his white beard dissatisfied, and he stared at Rukawa Kaede again, especially after a few more seconds of looking at his hand.

"Yes, I didn't even have enough to eat, so I hurried to visit your old man, teacher."

"Elm head! I haven't grown, didn't the teacher say that he wanted you to bring wine? Haven't you heard that in the past, you couldn't be a guest at someone's house empty-handed? What's more, this person is still your elder! ”

"So that's it, don't worry, teacher, I brought the wine and put it on horseback, so I'll go back and get it." Liuchuan Feng smiled innocently, he knew that the teacher was teaching him, respecting the teacher, and asking people to give gifts first.

"Forget it, fortunately, I still have a few pots of old wine in the house, so it's cheaper for you kid."

The old man said as he walked back into the house, but he could see that he was pleased, and even walked with ease.

After a pleasant greeting, the conversation got back on track.

"Teacher, what do you need to do if you want to govern the government and the people well?"

"Let me ask you first, you know, where did these problems come from?"

"The student is stupid, please ask the teacher to solve the doubt."

"If you want to solve the problem, you have to figure out how it came about, the so-called 'cause must have effect', you just need to understand this, think backwards and you can find the key to the problem, as long as you deal with the key places, these problems can be solved logically, now you are thinking about it."

"The corruption of the court is nothing more than the inaction of those in power, or too many negative behaviors, resulting in the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and officials at all levels learn from each other This bad habit has become a negative behavior, so that the correct, just, and legal things will be expelled, which is the main reason for the darkness in the court and everywhere, teachers. Am I right? ”

After thinking for a long time, he drank the wine glass in his hand in one gulp, and Rukawa Kaede said heavily.

The old man stood up, looked at the bright moon outside the window, sighed, and said: "Yes, you got to the point, this is like a thousand-year-old tree, although it is still lush on the surface, but the rhizome vine veins buried deep in the ground have begun to decay, if this situation is not stopped in time, it will not be long before the powerful ancient tree will turn back into a behemoth without roots, and it will collapse in an instant, and it will even collapse without others to push it, because its internal foundation has been necrotic." ”

"However, when the building will fall, there will be people who will help the right."

"Yes, that person is you!"

"But I don't have the ability or the certainty right now, the empire is too big, and I'm too weak."

"Don't underestimate yourself, if you can defeat the Northern Regions Alliance, it means that your resourcefulness and courage are enough, and you still have the identity of the prince of the king, and there are countless upright ministers behind you to support you, you can."

The master was full of self-confidence, and this confidence was transmitted to Rukawa Kaede.

"Well, the teacher is here, everything is possible!"

"And what if I'm not there one day? You don't believe in yourself anymore? The master asked deeply.

"No, I also believe in myself, that will be the beginning of my solo challenge! But teacher, where are you going? ”

"Who can predict what the future holds? Okay, let's talk about the current problem, you go to the morning pilgrimage tomorrow, what do you think? ”

"I want to take a certain position first, stay in the capital, slowly find out the situation, and then make a detailed plan."

"And what position are you going to take?"

"I don't know, do you have any suggestions?"

"It's not an exaggeration to say that your merits give you a positive three grades, but in order not to attract jealousy and not obviously expose your attitude to the court, you may have to be wronged first and act in a low-key manner. You can go to the 'Jinyi Guard', I heard that there is a lack of a 'Commander Tongzhi'. ”

"Jin Yiwei? Yes, this is the position that can be closest to the inside and outside of the court, and the actual power is very large, and there is no other manager above, and the emperor's uncle personally commands it, is it 'the same command as the commander'? Sounds good, it's the second position of the commander under one person and above ten thousand people, can I succeed? ”

"Don't worry, there is ginger soup, it's not a big problem, you can be proactive yourself, plus you have just made great contributions, as long as you don't ask for other rewards, it shouldn't be difficult."

"Okay."

The two teachers and students drank happily, chatted and talked about many things to each other, the willow tops on the moon, and the time had come to the ugly hour, the master seemed to have something on his mind, and his brows were tightly locked.
