The teahouse became quiet, and Gao Kangcheng and the others fidgeted.

Shen Leng also seemed to feel bored and turned to leave, there were bursts of horns on the street, and the Daning soldiers sealed all the streets around the General's Mansion, and the people who blocked the door were circled without reacting, so this was obviously ordered by Shen Leng before, not improvised.

When Shen Leng went down the stairs, he glanced back at Gao Kangcheng: "Work hard." ”

Gao Kangcheng: "......"

Shen Leng walked down the teahouse, those seekers on the street got out of the way again, Shen Leng returned to the general's mansion, under the pavilion by the lotus pond in the courtyard, Zhuang Yong was fishing, Shen Leng looked fun, and it was very boring to fish for his own fish.

"It's noisy outside?"

Shen Leng noticed the slightly displeased expression on Zhuang Yong's face.

"Noisy."

Zhuang Yong said: "I wanted to sleep for a while, but I didn't fall asleep." ”

Shen Leng shrugged his shoulders: "It's always easy to get sleepy when you're old. ”

Zhuang Yong glanced at him: "Young and amazing? ”

"It's great to be young."

Shen Leng sat down next to Zhuang Yong: "I heard something before I came back. ”

"Is it a big deal?"

"Great."

Shen Leng looked at Zhuang Yong's eyes: "I heard that an old man was worried that I would be played by the courtiers, so he summoned all the officials of Nanping City to take care of the burning of the ghost addiction flower field, do you think it doesn't matter if you are old?" ”

Zhuang Yong didn't answer, but there was some warmth in his heart.

"It doesn't matter when you're old."

Shen Leng said seriously: "Do you want to debate it?" ”

Zhuang Yong said: "Debate is a boring thing for two people of the same level, show your iron card and let me see how much difference you and I have at the same level?" ”

Shen Leng: "The official is great?" ”

Zhuang Yong: "Of course, the official university is amazing. ”

Shen Leng: "The official is not as unreasonable as the unreasonable, I also heard that an old man said during the discussion, I am not discussing anything with you, but informing you, this is so domineering...... I'm not discussing anything with you, but I'm telling you that I went to the Nanping City Mansion to see Lord Yan just now. ”

Zhuang Yong raised his eyebrows: "Huh? ”

Shen Leng sat there dangling his legs: "I'm young, I can get up again if I fall, and I can do some things willfully, such as banning ghost addiction to Huatian, but when I'm older, I can't be willful, what a pity I have lost because of the willfulness of young people?" You can't have anything, if you have something, you may not be able to get up at this age. ”

Zhuang Yong: "Who are you laughing at?" ”

Shen Leng smiled: "Can you be serious, we are discussing very serious issues." ”

Zhuang Yong handed the fishing rod to Shen Leng: "You come to fish." ”

Shen Leng took the fishing rod, lifted it and looked at the bait on the hook has long been gone, it can be seen that Zhuang Yong has been in a daze before, he doesn't even know when the bait was swallowed, or he simply forgot to hang the bait, he looked at the small box next to Zhuang Yong, which is the prepared fish food, the taste is still very fragrant, Shen Leng put the fishing rod aside and planed it on the ground by the lotus pond, and dug out an earthworm to hang it.

Zhuang Yong snorted: "Low-level." ”

Shen Leng said: "I'm not used to fish, just earthworms, I love to eat or not, and I don't give it such a big face." ”

Zhuang Yong: "......"

Shen Leng hung up the earthworm and threw it out: "When I went, Lord Yan was using ghost addiction glue, the room was full of smoke, and when I went in, he was lying on the bed and couldn't get up, at that moment I seemed to see a ghost lying there, his eyes were blurred, and even I couldn't recognize it, and he probably wouldn't remember what I said to him." ”

Zhuang Yong was silent.

"That's a high-ranking official in charge of local people's governance, but he was ruined by this little ghost addiction, I've always been thinking, Daning is so strong, whether it's a civil official or a military general, why don't you surrender if you want to stand up to it? When I saw Lord Yan's appearance, I suddenly came to my senses, Qiu Liren was resisting in this seemingly inconspicuous way, I have asked the people from the Tingwei Mansion to help investigate, how many officials sent by Daning are using ghost addiction glue, if ......"

He looked at Zhuang Yong: "If there are a lot of people, I may do something more out of the ordinary." ”

Zhuang Yong said in a very soft voice: "I said, you are not suitable for being an official, the things on the battlefield are quite direct, so there is no pressure on you to deal with it, you are born to be a general who leads the troops, but officialdom and the battlefield are different, the officials sent by Daning to Qiuli are divided into three kinds of people, the first is the undesirable Beijing officials, they have lost the hope of promotion after many years in the officialdom of Chang'an City, and it is the only opportunity to come to Qiuli, others do not want to come but they can only come, such as Lord Yan, you can't say that he is not qualified to do things, So I can't get used to him, and at the same time, I feel a little pitiful for him. ”

Shen Leng didn't speak.

Zhuang Yong continued: "The second type is the magistrates, such as the small officials in the counties, many of the officials stationed in Qiuli are such people, they are not without goals, but the road to achieve the goal is very long, and it is also very difficult, they also feel that the only opportunity to change the trajectory of their lives is to seek Li, His Majesty said at the beginning, the officials who are transferred to Qiuli are directly promoted to two levels, and those copywriters of the eighth grade are not the court Yulu, but when they are promoted to the seventh grade, that is, the officials officially registered in the imperial court, the seventh-grade official is directly promoted to the sixth grade, and the sixth rank is promoted to the fifth grade, His Majesty also said that the officials who are seeking to be established will be evaluated for a period of five years, and the household department will be assessed for five years, and if the talents with excellent political performance can be transferred back to Daning, they will be promoted, which of them do you say they don't want to grasp? ”

Shen Leng knew that Zhuang Yong was reminding him that all this he was doing now was not easy to come by.

"They need to fight for five years, five years may not be able to spell out a beautiful scenery, and you have it now, just now you said that young is amazing, young is really amazing, if I am twenty years younger, I also have pride and ambition, now it is gone, it is really gone, older people and young people think differently..... It doesn't matter if the young man thinks he can fall down and get back up, but the older man thinks about ...... Try not to let the young people you care about fall and do what you can. ”

Shen sneered, his eyes slightly reddened.

Zhuang Yong pretended not to see Shen Leng's reaction, and continued: "The third type of people come with a purpose, the most complicated thing in this world is people, the more people who already have a certain status and wealth, the more complicated they are, they feel that it is profitable to seek success, this kind of person is the most terrible, because they have strength, what you do is to cut off their financial route, I don't know if Shen Xiaosong originally taught you a sentence right, he said, young people should be sharp, not hidden." ”

Shen Leng nodded, Mr. Shen had said these words when he was still young.

"Young people really don't hide their edges, but if they don't hide their edges, they will offend people."

Shen Leng nodded again.

Zhuang Yong continued: "You are different from others, I like you, Han Zhaozhi likes you, Ye Liuyun likes you, many people around Your Majesty like you, Your Majesty likes you more, so you will be tolerant and even conniving, you are different from those who are struggling to climb, they may have no future if they offend people once, and you are still fine if you offend people so many times." ”

Shen Leng lowered his head and watched the hook rise and fall.

Zhuang Yong said: "However, this does not mean that you can not be afraid of falling, on the contrary, you can't fall, do you know what it means for you to fall?" Your Majesty likes you, if even Your Majesty has to dispose of you, do you still have a chance to turn over? ”

Shen Leng let out a long breath: "I'm not suitable for officialdom. ”

He himself has said this more than once.

He looked at Zhuang Yong: "Mr. Shen not only said that young people should not hide their edges, but also said that they should have a bright heart, the most important thing in their hearts is to know how to judge right and wrong, if I change and am suitable for officialdom, my heart is no longer bright, I know that I have reached my current position, I should adapt to the environment, make myself look more mature, the so-called mature is not sophisticated......

He looked at Zhuang Yong: "I can't do it, Mr. Shen's current idea is also for me to try to change, to adapt, to become more sleek, let's look at it for another twenty years, if I am still alive after twenty years, I should be, probably ......."

He was silent for a moment, shook his head and smiled: "It's still such a virtue, what is right is right, and what is wrong is wrong, but I am not righteous, and there is no distant or near relatives in the hearts of righteous people, such as those chivalrous and righteous knights, the right and wrong in my heart have distant and close relatives, so it is unjust, if Mr. Shen and the general are wrong, if the tea master is wrong, if Meng Changan is wrong, if Chen Ran, Wang Kuohai, and Du Wei are wrong, I will do my best to make up for it, if I can't make it up, I hope I can be punished instead of you, I rarely say something so direct that it is a bit hypocritical, and since the general mentioned it, I will say it once...... In my heart, reason is in the second place, and pro is in the first place. ”

He patted Zhuang Yong on the shoulder: "When you are old, you want to protect the young, can't the young want to protect the old?" I heard a phrase a long time ago...... Man, the first 20 years to see the father and the son, the last 20 years to see the son respect the father, the first 20 years of the father does not raise the son is not virtuous, the last 20 years of the son does not respect the father is not filial piety, in case God opens his eyes to see that the sky may thunder, I felt that I was a child without a father when I was in Fish Scale Town, Jiangnan Province, and then I became happy, because I felt that I had several fathers. ”

He stood up and looked at the lotus pond, beyond which was the distance.

"It's time for me to stand up."

Zhuang Yong was silent, then laughed.

The nose was sour when he smiled.

Shen Leng said: "Asking for the establishment of this thing, the right is the right, I can't watch the young people with dreams you said come here and be put down by a small bag of ghost addiction glue, even if they will definitely be put down, I hope that what defeats them is a dream and not a drug, I asked the people from the Tingwei Mansion to help investigate, and told them, don't give young people the illusion that they can forgive them if they can quit drugs, if the law of the country forgives is the injustice of the law of the country, it is not the law of the country but the favor." ”

Zhuang Yong also looked into the distance.

Shen sneered: "If I was defeated by Daning officialdom because I wanted to abolish the ghost addiction glue, then I don't regret it, I should have made the right choice to leave such an officialdom, right?" ”

Zhuang Yong sighed: "Let's do it." ”

Shen Leng snorted: "I'll do it." ”

Zhuang Yong: "Ask me to be the biggest." ”

Shen Leng shrugged his shoulders: "Then you are only considered an accomplice." ”

He glanced at Zhuang Yong: "I arrested Master Yan." ”

Zhuang Yong: "......"

Shen Leng said: "I saw another Lord Yan in the cell of the Tingwei Mansion, wept bitterly, and knelt on the ground to repent...... People know right and wrong, but sometimes they will know mistakes and make mistakes, pitiful, not a pity. ”

Zhuang Yong pointed: "Fish." ”

Shen Leng lifted the fishing rod, and there was a very fat fish hanging on the hook, still struggling, still swinging the tail, so unwilling.

Zhuang Yong looked at the fish: "This is my home, my pond." ”

Shen Leng: "Yes." ”

Zhuang Yong: "So why are you catching my fish?" ”

He smiled: "The pond is mine, the fishing rod is mine, the fish I let you catch just now, who is the main culprit and who is the accessory?" ”

Shen Leng: "Is it interesting?" ”

Zhuang Yong: "Specially." ”
