was half-dragged and half-racked to the British Mansion, as soon as he entered the hall, he saw the British Duke sitting there with black lines on his face, looking at a son with an inexplicable and wonderful face, a very innocent future son-in-law, at that time the old man slammed his fist on the table: "You two cause trouble, give me-" I was reluctant to let my son kneel, and then looked, the more I looked at the more lovely the future son-in-law, I really couldn't bear it, so I smashed the table again with some discouragement: "Let me sit there and reflect." ”

Mao Yulong sat down, then looked at his nose, nose, mouth, mouth, and heart, and entered a state of meditation.

The little fat man sat there, but his eyes were rolling around and he was very restless.

The old man stood in front of the window and looked at the dark night sky, but he was silent, and the whole study seemed strangely silent.

Or the little fat man couldn't sit still and couldn't hold back, but after a while, he spoke: "Dad, you said I was in trouble, but look at it, I didn't get into trouble that day?" If you're in trouble, let my sister go out and settle it, as for letting you come back from the camp. Then looking at the father who was still standing in front of the window, the little fat man said again: "Besides, I have been very quiet in the past two days, and I have been accompanying my brother to clean up the house, and I have been visiting everywhere, and I have not invited cats and dogs to make rabbits angry at all, I am honest." ”

The old man didn't seem to hear the little fat man's boasting, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "Yulong, tell me." ”

Mao Yulong sighed.

He had to admire the old man's ears and eyes, but what happened at noon was heard by the old man stationed in the military camp in the afternoon, which was also a means.

But then again, now the forces of the Jingshi are intricate, and the fight is in full swing, in this strange wave of clouds, who can't have more eyes, especially this British duke, who has not fallen for many years, and has reached the peak in the hands of this old country, which is very vigilant and cautious, and it is also a means to have.

After tidying up his shirt and slanting a glance at the troublesome little fat man, Mao Yulong said solemnly: "The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, in such a big situation, who can be alone?" Wading into this troubled water is only a matter of time, and nothing can stop it. ”

When the old man heard this, his body stiffened, and then he slowly turned to look at Mao Yulong, who had a calm face, and stared at his eyes that suddenly became deep, for a long time.

He really didn't expect that a sixteen or seventeen elementary school student who had not been trained in everything would be able to say such things at this time, and he would be straight to the point. From this point, it can be confirmed that Zhao Bo's comments on his interpretation of the Analects that no one else in the world can match seem to be credible.

Putting away his eyes and squinting his eyes, the old prince began to carefully evaluate his future son-in-law.

"In fact, my uncle's condescending performance, I knew that my brother's arrogant report had already begun to be calculated, and the Guogong Mansion was pulled into this political whirlpool and could not extricate itself."

"Shen Guangzuo has experienced countless ups and downs in the sea, and has experienced countless winds and waves, how can he give up this opportunity at this critical juncture? You two young people are not wronged to be carried into his hands. The old prince nodded slowly, then paced to his seat and sat down, picked up the tea cup that had been cold and took a sip gently, and then sighed: "Most of us founding nobles were born as military generals, and after the first generation of princes, they have been guarding the four directions for the imperial court, and slowly became a general." ”

Facing the old prince to tell the history of Xungui, Mao Yulong immediately listened attentively, this is the best opportunity to increase knowledge, this is knowledge that will never be heard elsewhere, and must not be missed.

Looking at Mao Yulong, who became solemn and serious, the old prince was very pleased, so he continued to say to him: "The noble children of the founding of the dynasty and the noble children of Yongle Jing have always been strong. Because most of the generals were nobles, and Yu Lu was also much higher than the civil officials (Xu Da's annual salary was as high as 10,000 stones, nearly ten times higher than that of the first-class civil officials), at that time, Hong Wuye and Grandpa Cheng supported and relied on us to check and balance the civil official group (Zhu Yuanzhang may have learned the lesson of the low status of the military generals in the Song Dynasty and deliberately established a group of noble military generals). However, the Tumubao Incident buried all the noble children, especially those noble children who had the right to speak in the court, all died in this battle. The rest of the heirs, either they are still young, or some have no power and no knowledge, which caused the military generals and nobles in the court to gradually suppress the civil officials and never turn over. ”

Mao Yulong nodded lightly, there is still such a past in emotional matters.

"Of course, the dominance of civil officials also has policy problems with the country, but it is undeniable that the collective death of the sons of the nobles has left a big gap for the civil officials to become bigger, resulting in no military generals with status and talent in the court, leading the military general group to confront the civilian officials, and the civilian official group created the military department Shangshu leading the military system and the governor leading the military system, grasping the military power from the system, suppressing the military generals, and in the end, the civilian official group completely defeated the military general group by doing tricks and feet in the system."

Civilian officials are in charge of the army, in fact, it is a big drawback, so that the guys who don't understand military affairs and can only talk empty talk can strategize and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away, which is simply a harmful joke.

"With the passage of peace, the status of military generals is lower, and we are even more feared by the emperors and literati of the past dynasties, and the suppression is even worse, in order to eliminate the possible rebellion of the generals and the division of the feudal towns, from time to time with a small mistake, they will uproot a veteran noble, so that we, the nobles of the generals, are in danger of themselves, and have to use self-defilement methods to protect themselves, and they have all become turtles with shrunken heads. And if our family hadn't stood firm and always stood in the emperor's camp, did not participate in any party struggle, and did not join any faction, it would have disappeared long ago. Such a position was completely broken because you had a meal with Zhiji. Then there was deep anguish: "It seems that the British public lineage of more than 200 years is about to be in crisis." ”

The little fat man is a smart man, and when he heard his father's explanation, he lost his cynicism at the moment, and became solemn: "Dad, it's all children who are ignorant and bring a crisis to the family, and I will now block in front of Shen Guangzuo's old dog's door and scold him, so that everyone in Beijing knows that we are not the same pants as Donglin." ”

The old man shook his head with a wry smile, gently stroked his precious son's head and sighed.

Mao Yulong looked at this guy who scolded his uncle and old dog in front of him, and said with a wry smile: "It's useless, in this way, not only can some people eliminate their misunderstanding of Guogong, but also offend Donglin, where well water does not violate river water." What is Donglin? Although he claims to be a gentleman, he is a small belly, and throughout history, once those pretentious so-called gentlemen turn over and take the position, which one is not a master of retaliation? ”

For Mao Yulong's analysis, the old man nodded with satisfaction, this is the heart of not being frightened, this son can be taught.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, are we going to suffer this dumb loss?"

At this time, Mao Yulong looked at the thoughtful British duke, and when the old duke saw Mao Yulong looking at him, he nodded lightly and gave encouragement.
