The book is picked up again.

After the patriarch of the Wu clan left, Wu Jiu stayed alone, watching Li Zhi stop talking.

Seeing this, Li Zhi asked with a smile: "Wu Jiu, you were originally a blade of great talent, but you became Benhou's sword and pen officer, do you have any complaints?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare to ......" Wu Jiu's face changed after hearing Li Zhi's words, and he shook his head again and again: "My subordinates know that the reason why the lord let his subordinates be swords and pens is to hone his subordinates.

After all, following the lord's side, you can see countless new things.

In this way, the subordinates' horizons can be greatly improved, and they will not be as self-righteous as before.

It's too late for the lord's good intentions and subordinates to be grateful, how can there be complaints?! ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Li Zhiyan nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Since this is the case, then why do you want to stop talking?" ”

"Forehead......" After Wu Jiu was stunned for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "May I ask if what the lord just said is true?" ”

When Li Zhiyan heard this, he was a little confused and asked, "What words?" ”

After Wu Jiu heard Li Zhi's words, he looked at him straight and said word by word: "Is the lord really willing to let his uncle be a friend?" ”

"Oh, that's what you're talking about." Li Zhi nodded and then said as a matter of course: "What is there to deceive here?

Ben Hou said just now, this world is not Ben Hou's, and it is not Ben Hou's turn to take care of the affairs of his friends.

Therefore, even if they are really friends, Ben Hou doesn't bother to pay attention to them.

Besides, the emperors of all dynasties, since they can tolerate the family, then he can tolerate the friends.

As long as these friends are not stupid enough to overthrow the emperor of the current dynasty, then the emperor will probably only suppress it, and will definitely not destroy it! ”

Hearing this, Wu Jiu was not relieved, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he asked, "Isn't the lord afraid that the strength of the uncle and others will increase greatly after the party, which will affect the status of the lord?" ”

"Hahahaha......" Li Zhi immediately laughed after hearing Wu Jiu's words.

Seeing this, Wu Jiu asked with a puzzled face, "Why is the lord laughing?" ”

When Li Zhi heard this, he laughed, and asked with a smile: "Wu Jiu, Ben Hou asked you, if Sage Kong lived in the present day and was already a sage, how do you think the family would treat him?" ”

"This ......" Wu Jiu frowned and fell into deep thought after hearing Li Zhi's question.

After a long while, he raised his head and said with some hesitation, "Maybe... Maybe the people of the family will worship under his command and become his disciples......"

"Uh... Hahaha......" Li Zhi was stunned for a moment after hearing Wu Jiu's answer, and then couldn't help laughing.

......Seeing this, Wu Jiu didn't speak, but his face turned red.

In fact, when he said it, he also knew that his answer was very unreliable.

It's just that as a member of the family, he really can't bear to talk about the family.

So, he can only say such a naïve answer.

That's right, it's naïve!

After Li Zhi laughed for a while, he suddenly stopped laughing, his face changed, he looked at Wu Jiu with a sneer, and said, "Since you are unwilling to tell the true answer, then Ben Hou will say it for you!"

If Sage Kong really lived in the world, then all the people of the family in the world would unite against him!

Because the dream of Sage Confucius is also to educate the world, which is no different from Benhou!

And if Sage Kong really becomes a saint who is famous all over the world, then the people of the family will definitely hold him high and make him a god and holy!

The reason why they do this is because everyone in the world worships the saint, and the saint must not have any flaws, otherwise he will be beaten to the dust by everyone!

In other words, after sanctification, it is not wrong to do more, to do less wrong, and not to do it!

In this way, the saint can only do nothing, treat himself as a statue, and let the world worship it.

After the completion of the work of educating the world, you will be like the Confucian saint just mentioned, since it will be enshrined highly.

When Ben Hou had not yet educated the world, Ben Hou had hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, and he had always pressed your Wu family.

And after Benhou has finished educating the world, he will inevitably be regarded as a saint by the people of the world.

When the time comes, no one can help Benhou!

So, why is Ben Hou afraid of your Wu family? ”

"This ......" Wu Jiu felt a little unbearable in his heart after hearing Li Zhi's words, and asked, "Isn't there a way for the lord's talent to break through the elbow of this "saint"?" ”

Wu Jiu can now imagine that after Li Zhi became a "saint", he had no choice but to regard himself as a clay statue.

"Alas......" Li Zhi sighed when he heard this, and said with a wry smile: "This is also a matter of no way.

After Ben Hou becomes famous, if you want to live a life without restraints, I'm afraid it will be difficult!

Because when Brother Meng De gets the world, he will become a saint together with Ben Hou!

When the time comes, he will definitely try his best to enshrine Benhou and use it to suppress the national fortune.

Because as long as Ben Hou is here at that time, then Brother Meng De will have righteousness in his hands!

Whoever wants to rebel is a traitor and a traitor!

And once Benhou falls into the hands of others, it will definitely cause hidden dangers to the country created by Brother Meng De!

Therefore, after Brother Meng De becomes the emperor, he will definitely not allow Benhou to run around!

In this way, Ben Hou can't make clay statues if he doesn't want to! ”

After saying this, as soon as Li Zhi looked up, he saw that Wu Jiu's face was full of sympathy.

Seeing this, Li Zhi glared at him angrily and said, "Why do you look at Ben Hou with such eyes? Do you think Ben Hou is pitiful? ”

When Wu Jiu heard this, he nodded vigorously like a chicken eating rice.

Seeing this, Li Zhi hit him on the forehead with a "snap" and said, "Idiot! You don't want to think about what Ben Hou's ambition really is!

What Ben Hou wants is to educate the world!

And after educating the world, Ben Hou's wish has been fulfilled, even if he stays in the imperial city all the time, what can he do?

Besides, that's "sanctification"! Glory that no number of people can ask for!

Even if it costs something, what's the pity? ”

"Uh......" Wu Jiu was stunned for a moment after hearing Li Zhi's words.

Then, he smiled bitterly, nodded and said, "The lord is right, if you let your subordinates choose, your subordinates are also willing to be holy!"

Even if he is imprisoned in the second half of his life, his subordinates are willing! ”

"The children can be taught!" Li Zhi saw that he had been talking for a long time, and Wu Jiu finally didn't have to look at himself with that disgusting pity, and he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.

He is not afraid of being hated by others, nor is he afraid of being adored, but he is afraid of being pitied.

Because he felt that he was lucky to be able to come to this world and have the status he has now.

Even if he suffers some grievances, it is also a matter of deservedness, after all, there must be gains and losses, so who needs to have mercy!

After Wu Jiu completely let go of the pity in his heart, he looked at Li Zhi and said, "Lord, the Great Elder was just a little angry just now, so he didn't choose his words, he didn't mean to offend the Lord, and I asked the Lord not to blame him." ”

Li Zhiyan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly asked, "So this is the reason why you stayed?"

Are you afraid that Ben Hou will find your Wu family's back account, so you will deliberately stay and make amends to Ben Hou? ”

Wu Jiu saw that Li Zhi had guessed his purpose, and he didn't hide it, and after nodding, he said calmly: "That's right, as the lord said, my subordinates are indeed afraid that the lord will find my Wu family's back account." ”

After finishing speaking, Wu Jiu bowed deeply to Li Zhi and stopped getting up.

His words were almost questioning Li Zhi's personality and conduct!

However, if he didn't say so, he was afraid that Li Zhizhen would remember the hatred of the Great Elder.

In desperation, he could only say this.

Therefore, after speaking, he made this big gift, wanting to win Li Zhi's forgiveness.

"......" Li Zhi was stunned for a while, then sighed and asked, "Wu Jiu, you have been by Benhou's side for a few days.

Have you ever noticed that Ben Hou has a habit of looking for back accounts? ”

"This ......" Wu Jiu heard this, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head with shame on his face and said, "No!

The lord has always been straightforward, and he has always done things in a dignified manner, and his subordinates have never seen the lord find anyone's back account. ”

"That's right" Li Zhi heard this, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Ben Hou doesn't disdain to find anyone's account!"

According to the waiting forces, even if there are some contradictions, Ben Hou will take revenge on the spot!

Ben Hou's power is so huge, ordinary people can't afford to provoke Ben Hou at all.

It's like Dong Zhuo, if Dong Zhuo provokes Ben Hou, then Ben Hou will even give him some color!

Do you think your Wu family is more powerful than Dong Zhuo? ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhi looked at Wu Jiu with a guilty face and comforted: "Wu Jiu, you don't have to care about what happened just now.

The reason why your family elder is so angry is also human nature.

If Ben Hou is in the position of the Great Elder of your family, I am afraid that he will be even more impulsive than him! ”

"Huh......" After hearing Li Zhi's words, Wu Jiu let out a long sigh of relief, and finally put the matter down.

And just when Wu Jiu and Li Zhi were talking about the Wu clan patriarch and the Great Elder, the Wu clan patriarch and the Great Zhang Elder were also talking about Li Zhi.

"What do you mean by hussar general? Does he really want us to be friends? ”

Ever since the patriarch of the Wu clan came out of the Hussar General's Mansion, he has been sleepwalking.

At this time, after hearing the words of the Great Elder, he finally came back to his senses and said thoughtfully, "This is not impossible! ”

"What?" When the Great Elder heard this, he asked with a shocked face, "What good is it for the Hussar General to let us do this?" ”

"Hehe......" After the patriarch of the Wu clan chuckled, he asked rhetorically, "What's the harm to him if we do this?" ”

"The disadvantage?" Hearing this, the Great Elder stroked his long white hair, and after thinking for a long time, he frowned and shook his head, and said, "If we are friends, it will really not be any harm to the hussar generals.

Because, by the time I wait for my protégé to be all over the world, I'm afraid it will be decades later.

And at that time, the hussar general may have finished educating the world and become the world's most virtuous person!

When the time comes, from the emperor to the beggar, no one can help the hussar general, and fame is his best talisman! ”

After saying this, the Great Elder's face also had some thoughtful looks.

He somewhat understood why the Wu clan patriarch would ask this.

"Exactly!" After hearing the words of the Great Elder, the patriarch of the Wu clan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since we can't cause any damage to the hussar general, why should the hussar general care about the affairs of our friends?"

The dream of the hussar general is to educate the world, and in the process of educating the world, countless talents are needed.

However, the world's top ten ** comes from a family, and if the hussar general wants to fulfill his dream, he must rely on the power of a part of the family.

However, the hussar general's journey to educate the world is equivalent to digging a grave for the family.

In this way, I am afraid that no family will serve the hussar generals.

And the hussar general also understands this truth, so he will find another way for us and other families.

With this "friend" strategy, there will inevitably be many small and medium-sized families that are about to decline to throw themselves into the hussar generals. ”

After saying this, the patriarch of the Wu clan took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and continued with emotion on his face: "At that time, the family that has taken refuge in the hussar general can expand its lintel through the strategy of "friends".

And the hussar generals can use the talents of these families to fulfill their dreams of educating the world.

The hussar general's move can be described as killing two birds with one stone, which is really admirable! ”

"......" The Great Elder was speechless for a long time after listening to the words of the Wu Clan Patriarch.

He didn't expect that the "friend" strategy, which seemed to have no benefit or harm for Li Zhi, turned out to be a strategy that could kill two birds with one stone.

At this time, the Great Elder was already a little skeptical of his IQ.

Then, after he smiled bitterly, he shook his head and said with a decadent face: "It seems that the old man is really old!"

If it weren't for the patriarch to tell him about this, the old man wouldn't have thought of the hussar general's intentions even if he wanted to break his head! ”

When he finished speaking, he looked like he was ten years older. He sat on the ground full of decadence, but he was not as energetic as before.

......Seeing this, the patriarch of the Wu clan didn't know what to say to comfort him.

Because in this matter, the actions of the Great Elder are indeed very out of proportion.

Immediately, the patriarch of the Wu clan patted the eldest elder on the shoulder silently, which could be regarded as comforting him.

"Alas......" After a long time, the Great Elder let out a long sigh, closed his eyes, and said with a sad and angry face: "The duty of the Great Elder is to assist the patriarch in managing the family.

When the patriarch is out of proportion, the Great Elder needs to come out to stop the patriarch's ridiculous behavior.

And now, you, the patriarch, have done a good job and have not lost their proportions.

On the contrary, the old man, the great elder, did not guess the meaning of the hussar general, and repeatedly did things out of proportion, almost harming my Wu family, I am really ashamed! ”

After hearing this, the patriarch of the Wu clan sensed that something was wrong with what the Great Elder said, and vaguely, he also guessed what the Great Elder meant.

Then, he asked with a shocked face, "Why did the Great Elder say this?" Do you want to ......?"

"Alas......" After the Great Elder sighed, he nodded and said, "The Patriarch also guessed it, right?"

That's right, the old man really wants to resign as a great elder! ”

"What?!" Although the patriarch of the Wu clan had been mentally prepared, after hearing the words of the Great Elder, he was still taken aback, and quickly shook his head and retorted loudly: "No! This is absolutely not a no-go! ”

When the Great Elder heard this, he shook his hand in frustration and said, "Patriarch, don't persuade anymore, the old man has made up his mind!" ”

"Foolish, you!" After hearing the words of the Great Elder, the patriarch of the Wu clan asked bitterly: "You and I didn't have a good relationship before, but now we are sitting together calmly to discuss things, why do you say this?" ”

When the Great Elder heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied: "This is because the patriarch is broad-minded, and the people who promised the old man and my family can also compete for the position of the patriarch in normal times, so the old man is willing to coexist peacefully with you." ”

"Then why do you think a certain family would use the position of patriarch to win you over to split up?"

After hearing the Wu Clan Patriarch's question, the Great Elder replied thoughtfully, "That's because my Wu Clan has reached a very critical moment.

If I continue to fight, I am afraid that others will take advantage of it.

That's why the patriarch will spend such a large amount of money to win over the family. ”

After saying this, the Great Elder's face showed a look of enlightenment.

He somewhat understood why the patriarch of his family would ask that.

"Huh......" Seeing that the Great Elder was not yet confused, the Patriarch of the Wu Clan nodded and asked, "Since you also understand this truth, what do you think will be the consequences of your resignation as the Great Elder now?"

What do the separated people think? ”

The Great Elder has now completely understood, and he suddenly said: "If the old man resigns from the position of Great Elder now, the people who split the family will definitely think that the patriarch is because he has settled down completely in Luoyang, and he wants to suppress the split family."

And once the people who split up think so, they will definitely resist desperately!

If at this critical moment, the people of the lineage and the people of the family face each other, I am afraid that they will be disliked by the hussar generals!

When the time comes, if the hussar general gives up on us, then all our plans will be ruined! ”

"Huh......" Seeing that the Great Elder had finally figured it out, the patriarch of the Wu clan took a long breath, nodded and said, "That's right, the hussar general has already thought of the strategy of "friends".

At that time, all the small and medium-sized families in the world that were about to decline would definitely squeeze their heads to join the hussar generals.

Speaking of which, my Wu family actually doesn't have an advantage at all.

At this time, my Wu family can't make the slightest mistake! ”

After saying this, the patriarch of the Wu clan patted the Great Elder on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Great Elder, even if you want to resign from the position of Great Elder.

I have to wait until my Wu family is completely integrated into the power of the hussar general. ”

"......" After the Great Elder was silent for a while, he nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then the old man will have the cheekiness to stay in the position of Great Elder for a while longer."

After everything calmed down, the old man selected one person from the divided family as the great elder and continued to assist the patriarch. ”

"That's fine."

After saying these words, the two of them fell silent with different expressions, and the room fell into an inexplicable embarrassment......
