"The general trend of the world?"

Xu Shiyang glanced at his father in some surprise.

Xu Muhe never seemed to care about this topic before, all he cared about was his family, his own industry, and Xu Shiliu alone.

The general trend of the world, this problem does not seem to have anything to do with a small dock castle owner in Juzhou.

Now he suddenly mentions it, is it the chaos in Jiangnan that makes him have any other ideas?

"Today's world is extremely chaotic, the Jurchens of Liaodong, the Mengwu of the grassland, and the great three days of Jiangnan are standing strong, and the general trend of the world is ......"

"You don't know who killed the deer, right?" Xu Muhe asked.

"Ah, so to speak." Xu Shiyang agreed: "Now it seems that the problem of the Great Zhou is chaotic internally, the problem of the Jurchen is that the Jurchen has enemies on all sides externally, and the strategic containment is too great, and the problem of the Mengwu is ......."

"Needless to say, it's so specific." Xu Muhe interrupted him and said in a serious tone: "Just tell me, do we have a chance!" ”

"What chance?" Xu Shiyang knew what his father was talking about, but he still wanted to confirm it.

"What other chance? Of course, there is no chance to win the world! ”

When there were only two fathers and sons, Xu Muhe didn't want to hide his ambitions.

World!

In the face of this goal, anyone will go crazy, right?

Even if you know that this is dangerous bait, if you have the opportunity, you must swallow it at all costs!

"Father." Xu Shiyang said with a smile: "Build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become the king, of course we have a chance." ”

"Build high walls, accumulate grain, and slow down kingship?" Xu Muhe raised his head, took a deep breath and said, "For my father, I can endure this moment!" ”

After stealing life for more than ten years, and now that I have a bigger goal, why can't I endure it for more than ten years? This is not a matter at all for Xu Muhe.

After a while, Xu Muhe calmed down the excitement in his heart a little, lowered his head and said to Xu Shiyang, who was sitting on the chair:

"It's just that there must be a limit to forbearance, and the father is now a festival envoy, and this honor guard must be in line with the identity of the festival envoy."

"What does Father want?"

"This time, I will stay with the people in the pro-ship fleet, and I want to stay for my father." Xu Muhe said seriously: "When I repel this Tartar attack, I want to open a mansion in Qingzhou, and the palace maids and eunuchs in the team will be kept for me!" ”

I just said that I can endure it, so I can't wait to enjoy .......

"Father, it is our established policy to return the princess ......."

"That's because there was no war in Jiangnan when the policy was formulated!" Xu Muhe did not flinch: "Now that the situation in Jiangnan is chaotic, even if the princess is allowed to go back, it is very dangerous, not to mention the possibility of being sent north by His Majesty again, it is better to let her stay in our Qi Province!" ”

This is the excuse Xu Shiyang used to keep the talent he wants, and now it is actually used on his head.

Moreover, Xu Muhe has other ideas:

"Princess Renfu is twenty-eight years old, and Shiyang, you haven't married a wife......"

"It's not appropriate." Xu Shiyang immediately refused.

"Why?"

"I am the colt of Da Zhou, if our family really has that day in the future...... how will she and her future children deal with themselves?"

"Hehe, marry a husband with a husband, what's the importance of a woman's thoughts?" Xu Muhe smiled disdainfully: "As for the child, your child's surname is Xu Bu's surname Zhao, he naturally knows which side to stand!" ”

Xu Shiyang still shook his head: "In short, this matter can't be considered now, I have promised Xianggong Wen that I will definitely send the princess back, and now since I can't tear my face with Jiangnan, this one must be done!" ”

In fact, for Xu Shiyang, the more important identity of the Zhao family is the general representative of the class of the old-style literati and landlords in Jiangnan, and when a new society is established, whether it is left or right, these old ruling classes must be destroyed!

Only in this way will there be a chance for a new class to emerge.

If Xu Shiyang, as the general representative of the new class, marries the daughter of the leader of the old class, will he still leave room for compromise on the great social changes that he will definitely implement?

No, definitely not!

Of course, Xu Muhe is actually one of the representatives of the old class, this cannot be said to him, what Xu Shiyang can do now is only to emphasize that he cannot be completely hostile to Jiangnan now, so he must fulfill his promise and send the princess back.

Xu Muhe was a little dismissive of Xu Shiyang's reasoning, in his opinion, the biggest purpose of the Jiangnan main battle faction to ask the princess to go back was just to save the face of the imperial court, nothing more.

Princess Renfu marrying the son of the envoy of the Great Zhou Qingzhou Festival is definitely justified at least now, and it is not a shame for the main battle faction, and it is a big deal to send the princess back after getting married, which is also the fulfillment of the promise.

It's just that Xu Shiyang strongly objected, and Xu Muhe couldn't force him to accept it - within Qingzhou, no one could force him to do what Xu Shiyang didn't want to do.

After all, Xu Shiyang holds military power.

"That's it, my father wants to keep those palace maids and eunuchs, I can find a way to get them to stay voluntarily, but the princess and the princess's attendants, we still have to return it."

Xu Shiyang thought about it and felt that he still couldn't get too stiff with his father on such a minor issue, so he decided to take a step back.

"After the princess returns to Jiangnan, if the main battle faction can really come to power, I will ask Xianggong Wen to officially confer the title of Father's Day Envoy and build a festival to open the mansion.

"Now, for the sake of our great cause, I would like to ask my father to bear with me a little longer!"

"Ugh......." Xu Muhe, who had been walking around excitedly, sat back in his chair and sighed: "You said so, being a father is not a person who doesn't know how to advance and retreat, just do as you say." ”

……

Leaving Xu Muhe's mansion, Xu Shiyang kept frowning.

Daddy, as the head of the family and the envoy of the festival, is a good thing to be ambitious, after all, he will also make the Great Zhou rebel sooner or later, and if the father is dedicated to being a loyal minister of the Great Zhou and becomes an obstacle, then he can only invite the father to go to the field and live with the uncle.

It's just that the slack spirit that comes with ambition is not a good thing, and the so-called great cause has not even seen the dawn now, because I think I can do the world, I first think about getting some palace maids and eunuchs to enjoy, which is too funny.

Treat "will do" as "have done", and then start to enjoy the "results", this kind of thing can only be done by Ah San in later generations.

From this point of view, the father has not yet become a true careerist—far from it.

Xu Shiyang shook his head, forget it, don't think about this problem now, the most important thing is to do a good job in front of you.

Of course, the most important task at the moment is to prepare for war, but the general planning framework is already in place, and the details can be handed over to the staff of the immature officer corps to improve, and they only need to help not to deviate.

Another problem is that Princess Renfu must be sent back to Jiangnan as soon as possible, and the princess's personal safety must be guaranteed.

Originally, Xu Shiyang wanted to run this trip by himself, and by the way, he would see if he could bring Jiangnan's heart to his famous Ji Hengbo girl to Jiangbei to avoid military disasters for the time being.

Now that Xu Muhe is doing this, it seems a little inappropriate to go to Jiangnan by himself, and it must be even more unsightly to take back a famous concubine without a princess, so he can only find a trustworthy person to run.

Hmm, maybe Xu Shisong looks more suitable?
