Zhang Hui's father and son's daughter-in-law are born in everyone after all, even if the dishes made by Li Ze are delicious, the two still maintain a reserved attitude, eat a little of each dish, and then put down the dishes and chopsticks, but Zhang Hui's father and son and the children, but they don't have so many scruples, the three of them gobble up, without any scruples about any image.

After the last piece of fried meatballs wrapped in egg skin on the plate also entered the little guy's stomach, he also glanced at the empty plate reluctantly, and then looked up at Li Ze with his head up.

Li Ze laughed and hugged the little guy in his arms, reached out and rubbed his bulging little belly, and said, "Is it delicious?" ”

The little one nodded excitedly.

"Shall I make it for you to eat that night?"

The little guy immediately grinned.

Zhang Hui on the side smiled and pulled the little guy out of Li Pair's arms, touched his head, and said, "Go and play with grandmother." ”

The little one immediately ran obediently towards the inner room.

Looking back, Zhang replied, "Looks like I'm going to keep you here for dinner?" After dinner, it was dark for one night, and I had to stay with you for one night, right? ”

"It is Li Ze's honor to have a long talk with Mr. all night!" Li Ze said with a smile.

Zhang Hui stood up and waved his hand, and Zhang Xun began to clean up the mess on the table, it seems that this big family, women really don't work. This may indeed be a bit shocking in the eyes of the world, but in the eyes of people like Li Ze, it is not strange.

Zhang Hui took a dustpan of beans in the corner of the hall and walked into the courtyard, dragged a small bench and sat down, put the dustpan on his knees, and began to choose beans.

Li Ze also followed closely to the side, stretched out his hand and began to help choose beans. Outside the courtyard, Gongsun Changming, Chen Changping, Li Mi and others looked at the two people through the bamboo fence with complicated expressions.

"Do you know why I let you in?" Putting the handful of round beans he had selected in the small box beside him, Zhang Hui asked.

"Probably my husband's eyes!" Li Ze said with a smile.

"Take care of him!" Zhang Hui shook his head and said, "I let you in because you are different." Although the old man lives in the countryside, he is also well-informed, and many disciples often write to me, and everyone is very surprised when they talk about your odd number, and of course, they are also very admired. ”

"It's the love of the big guys." Li Ze said humbly.

"It's not about love, it's about making impressive achievements." Zhang replied: "But they still see the problem shallowly, in my opinion, Datang finally has a person who sees the root of the problem." Your appearance made me see the hope of Datang's rebirth, which is why I let you in. ”

Li Ze smiled silently.

"Li Shuai, tell me, Datang has fallen to where it is today, what is the root cause?" Zhang Hui asked suddenly.

"Sir, that's a big problem." Li Zedao: "I'm afraid that I can't speak clearly." In general, a dynasty has gone through too long, from weak to strong, and then to extremely prosperous, and if there is no long-term policy and a clear mind, it is inevitable that it will turn from prosperity to decline. Contradictions have always existed, in the early stage, everyone has the same goal, so the contradiction is hidden, at the peak of the heyday, everyone is enjoying the fruits of the earlier struggle, the contradiction is covered, and when it turns from prosperity to decline, these existing contradictions will finally erupt because they have accumulated for too long. If it is not handled properly, there is a risk of losing the country, and no matter how powerful the dynasty is, it will not be able to escape this strange circle. ”

"What about the small ones?" Zhang replied: "What does Li Shuai think is the problem? ”

Li Ze smiled: "If you look at it in a small way, Datang has fallen to the point where it is today, and the first person to bear the brunt is Chang'an." ”

"Isn't it Jiezhen?" Zhang Hui asked rhetorically: "The festivals and towns are separated, each has its own affairs, the central government is weak, and the branches are strong and the cadres are weak, is it possible that these festivals and towns are not in trouble?" ”

"Where did the festival come from?" Li Ze asked rhetorically: "How did Jiezhen appear?" It seems that the reason why the people are not living today is because they are domineering, bullying the people and the central government, but why is there such a situation? The root cause of this is that there were big revelations, big problems, and big chaos in the central court's governance of the country, which were out of control at once, which eventually led to today's chaos. Mr. originally worked in Chang'an, why did he hang up the seal and come to this small village to farm? Isn't it because you're too disappointed in them? ”

Zhang Hui held a handful of beans in his hand, and was stunned for a long time before nodding heavily.

"Freezing three feet, not a day's cold, the fall of Datang today is really the accumulation of hundreds of years of contradictions and now they have erupted together." Li Zedao: "Back then, when the Tang Dynasty was extremely prosperous, the officials ruled the Qingming Dynasty, the civil officials tended the world, the military attachés suppressed the four sides, the Tang Sixteen Guards, and any soldier pulled out was enough to deter the Quartet, but now? The dignified court can only retreat in Chang'an, Luoyang and other places, trembling for fear of causing trouble to the Xiao Wall, but what is the use of this? In my opinion, it won't be long before I'm afraid that this Chang'an, Luoyang will not be unsafe. The signs have arisen and chaos is not far away. This time, I was ordered to enter Beijing, but I was attacked under the nose of Luoyang, which is already very revealing. ”

"Datang Central has long lost face." Zhang Hui shook his head and sighed: "Li Shuai, I ask you a word, and I hope you will answer me sincerely." ”

"Naturally!" Li Ze nodded.

"Do you want to protect Tang, or do you want to oppose Tang?" Zhang Hui asked.

It's a big topic. Li Ze did not directly answer Zhang Hui's words, but asked with a smile: "Is this question important to you, sir?" ”

"It's just a knot in my heart." Zhang replied: "The marshal came to visit me, and he made such a battle. ”

Zhang Hui pointed to the tent erected outside and Gongsun Changming and other people, and then said: "Naturally, because I still have some thin names and some uses, I want to accept me and accept me." In that case, I naturally want to ask for clarity. In Zhang's view, under the current situation, the imperial court is helpless against Hezhen, and has to agree, as for letting Li Shuai's mother and wife go to Beijing as a hostage, it is just the last fig leaf, if Li Shuai really wants to do something in the future, how can this little fetter stop Li Shuai's footsteps. The success of the town, Li Shuai is the most powerful feudal town in the north, I look at Li Shuai's territorial governance, the strategy of reorganizing the army, I am afraid that within a few years, the north will not be able to escape Li Shuai's palm. At that time, how should Li Shuai deal with himself? ”

Li Ze thought for a while and said seriously: "Sir, I value my relatives very much, and this bond is still very big for me. ”

Zhang Hui smiled and said nothing.

"As for whether Mr. is defending Tang or anti-Tang, in fact, I don't have any clear goal now, so tell Mr. that if you can protect it, you will naturally protect it, and if you can't protect it, you will naturally do it yourself." Li Ze said slowly: "Now for me, it is still necessary to strengthen myself, because not only Lu Long and Zhang Zhongwu are a tough opponent, but also Wei Botian Chenghei, Xuanwu Zhu Wen, and which one is not the hero of the world!" I have to survive before I can talk about other things, the so-called times are also the situation, some things can not be transferred by our personal will, many times, it is the times that push people to go. ”

"The so-called times create heroes, but sometimes, it is also heroes who create the times!" Zhang Hui said a little lonely: "Li Shuai, in fact, I hope you are the hero who can create the situation." ”

"Sir thinks too highly of me." Li Ze shook his head and said: "Even if it seems that I have done a lot of things so far, I am still pushed by the times, heroes create the times, and I have to wait until I become a hero." That's why I'm here to visit him. Wenzhi martial arts, Wenzhi has always been at the forefront, I wonder if Mr. is willing to settle under my jurisdiction? The talents of gentlemen should not be cultivated in the countryside, but should be taught by the best talents in the world. ”

"Now entrenched in the world's Jiezhen, it is really rare for a person like you to pay attention to civil governance, is it based on this concept that you are implementing the division of civil and military rule under your jurisdiction?"

"Wu'an is the world, and the culture rules the world, and since it has come, there is only a way to win the world immediately, and there is no reason to rule the world immediately." Li Ze said with a smile.

"If you can protect it, you can protect it?"

"Yes!" Li Ze is definitely authentic.

Zhang Hui smiled, "Okay, then I'll go to your Chengde to take a look, but Jie Shuai, when it comes to the future, if one day, I am dissatisfied with what you have done, I will roll up and leave." ”

Suddenly heard Zhang Hui's promise to go to Chengde, Li Ze felt quite happy to descend from the sky, this person is really clean and neat, and he does things without delay.

"Naturally, come and go freely." Li Zedao.

Zhang Hui laughed and looked up at Gongsun Changming outside the courtyard, "Li Shuai, do you know why I hate Gongsun Changming?" ”

"I'm just about to ask for advice, Mr. Gongsun is a rare talent."

"Naturally, there is." Zhang Hui snorted coldly: "But this person has studied all his life, and he is full of conspiracy and small ways, which is incompatible with me, how can he govern the country rely on these ghostly tricks, and he should use a grand strategy to implement the world openly." ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly gloomy, "It's a pity that today, it's a ghost!" ”

"Sir, Ze thinks that whether it is to govern a place or a country, we all need to help each other, seek the future, and look at the present, but I am a person who refuses to suffer the immediate losses. Besides, if you always suffer losses in front of you, and you can't lift your head by being pressed to the ground and rubbed on the ground, where will you have the spare energy to take care of the future? Without a future, how can we let the grand plan work in the world? Li Ze said with a smile: "I begged Mr. to go to Chengde, which is to seek the future." ”

Zhang Hui was thoughtful and nodded slightly.
