The carriage stopped at the gate of the academy, and Shen Leng wanted to let the carriage stop at the gate of the old dean's small courtyard, but the old dean disagreed, because the old dean wanted to walk and walk with Shen Leng.

Shen Leng got out of the carriage first, waited by the car, stretched out his hand to help the old dean get off the carriage, at that moment people made people think that the two of them were serious grandchildren, the old man got off the car at sunset, and his grandson was supporting him, this picture was very beautiful.

"Do you know why I got off at the gate of the academy?"

The old dean asked.

Shen Leng said: "Didn't Mr. say that he wanted to go?" ”

The old dean shook his head, lowered his voice and said to Shen Leng: "I'm old, you remember, the older people are, the more chicken thieves, I just want the disciples of the academy to see, it was the general who helped me get out of the carriage and respectfully helped me walk." ”

Shen Leng sneered and laughed: "The identity of Mr., still needs a big general to set off?" ”

"Only?"

The old dean glanced at him: "You are a little crazy about these two words." ”

Shen sneered: "Compared to Mr., it's just a mere one." ”

The old dean sighed: "You haven't been practicing your sycophant kung fu lately, have you?" Some are rusty, some are dry and hard, and they are not rounded at all. ”

Shen Leng said: "The main reason is that after becoming a general, there are fewer people who need me to pat on the back, it's not that I don't work hard, it's that there are too few places to use it." ”

The old dean shook his head with a smile, and walked forward with Shen Leng's hand: "I really want to walk with you and take you to see this academy, where I have lived all my life." ”

Shen Leng suddenly, the old dean asked him to look at his proud things, when people are older, they like to mention their collections to the juniors, the old people of rich families, the treasures and antiques for the juniors, the old people of ordinary people, the old people for the juniors to see are old objects, and the collection that the old dean wants to show Shen Leng is this academy.

The old dean said as he walked: "Look here, I have been the dean here since I was less than forty years old, and I have walked every inch of land here. ”

Shen Leng: "Women's toilet?" ”

Old Dean: "Get out of ......"

Shen Leng: "Look, don't let the juniors speak anymore?" ”

The old dean glared at him and laughed: "You little guy is just different from others, full of no seriousness, how can you say I like a young man like you, am I blind?" ”

Shen Leng said: "Of course not, the main thing is that things gather like people and divide people into groups......"

Old Dean: "Am I not moving?" ”

Shen Leng: "Don't don't, you're so old, you hurt yourself when you beat me, sir, you lie on the ground, here and outside are your apprentices and grandchildren, if you slander me, I can't tell you clearly." ”

The old dean said: "Your Majesty was also so poor at that time, there was no doorkeeper on his mouth, and he could say whatever he wanted." ”

Shen Leng: "Your Majesty left the academy at the age of sixteen, does Mr. have any regrets?" ”

"Regret what?"

"I didn't fight a few more times when His Majesty was young."

"Tomorrow I will tell Your Majesty what you said."

"Not sir."

"What if I could?"

Shen Leng smiled wryly, and handed the silver ticket that the old dean had given him from his cuffs to the old dean, with a reluctant expression: "Is it enough?" ”

"What about you sending the child?"

The old dean said: "You are embarrassed to give me a few dozen taels of silver tickets." Shen Leng said: "Isn't this what Mr. just gave me, aren't you sending the child away?" ”

The old dean said as a matter of course: "Yes, I am sending the child." ”

Shen Leng: "......"

The two walked to the lake, and the old man stood at the head of the bridge by the lake and pointed to the wild goose pagoda not far away: "Before, there were friends from afar, I asked them what they wanted to see in Chang'an, and they all said that they must see this wild goose pagoda, and I always replied that there is nothing good about this rotten wild goose pagoda...... got older, but found that I couldn't see enough. ”

He was a little proud: "The Wild Goose Pagoda is a symbol of Chang'an City, no matter how rotten it is, it is also a symbol of Chang'an City, when it comes to Chang'an, you have to mention the Wild Goose Pagoda, when you mention the Wild Goose Pagoda, you have to mention the Wild Goose Pagoda Academy, and when you mention the Wild Goose Pagoda Academy, you have to mention my road from me." ”

Shen Leng sighed: "I'm so old, can I go straight to the point next time I brag about it?" ”

The old dean slapped Shen Leng's ass with a stick, Shen Leng grinned, fell down with a bang, lay on the bridge, and lay on his stomach in an ecstatic posture: "Old man, let me tell you, this matter can't be finished without a few dozen taels of silver." ”

The old dean sighed and returned the silver ticket.

Shen Leng's silver ticket was in hand, he got up happily, and when he stood up, he accidentally stepped on the old dean's foot, the old dean frowned, Shen Lengxin said that it was broken, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I stepped on the old man's foot, does it hurt?" ”

The old dean snorted: "You think I'm as scoundrel as you?" You stepped on my feet this time, and my feet are fine, I can't just blackmail you for dozens of taels of silver without my feet hurting, so I can't do anything without quality. ”

Shen Leng let out a long breath: "That's good, that's good." ”

The old dean said: "My feet are really fine, you don't have to be so careful, but right...... My shoes are ancestral, and they have been passed down for 18 generations. ”

Shen Leng stuffed the silver ticket to the old dean: "Stop playing, sir, I can't play with you." ”

The old dean took back the silver ticket: "I knew that it would still return to me." ”

Shen Leng sighed: "Your Majesty said that he has five points like you, and now I finally know which five points Your Majesty said." ”

The old dean was stunned: "When did Your Majesty say that?" ”

Shen Leng said: "After eating in the palace, I went out for a walk with Your Majesty and talked about the battle in the East China Sea, and then I mentioned you, Sir, and Your Majesty said that he is five points like you." ”

The old dean smiled with satisfaction: "What else did you say?" ”

Shen Leng thought for a while and replied, "Your Majesty also said that I also have five points like you." ”

The old dean was silent for a moment, shook his head and smiled: "Silly boy, do you understand the meaning of His Majesty's words?" ”

Shen Leng said: "Isn't it also said that these five points are like you, in fact, what does it have to do with Mr., it was Mr. Shen who taught me like this, I was originally a loyal and gentle person, these five points are shameless......

"Stupid."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the old dean: "Silly boy, Your Majesty said that he is five points like me, and also said that you are five points like me, which actually means that you are very much like him." ”

This time it was Shen Leng's turn to be stunned, and he couldn't recover for a while.

The old courtyard was more relieved at this time than when he heard His Majesty say that he was like him in five points, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he walked along the stone bridge with a crutch, Shen Leng hurriedly followed, and it was still difficult to calm down in his heart, did His Majesty really mean that Shen Leng was very similar to him?

"Silly boy."

The old dean said, "Do you know why Your Majesty cares about me?" ”

"Because of the great virtue of the gentleman."

"."

The old dean said as he walked: "When I left the court, I said it was because of Mu Zhaotong, but in fact, it was because of Your Majesty, the first emperor knew that I was on His Majesty's side, even if there was no Mu Zhaotong making trouble behind my back, the first emperor would eventually force me to leave the court, because the first emperor knew that as long as I was in the court, I would definitely speak for Your Majesty." ”

The old dean glanced back at Shen Leng: "The first emperor has always had doubts about me, and suspects that many of His Majesty's thoughts and remarks were taught by me, in fact, ...... The reason why Your Majesty cares about me is precisely because I have never taught Your Majesty anything in those things, I have never taught Your Majesty how to fight with his brother, to fight with his father, I never mentioned it, I taught people skills, and I did not teach people to be in harmony with their families. ”

"Your Majesty likes me, precisely because I don't talk about right and wrong, I don't talk much where I shouldn't, I get along with Your Majesty, I talk about everything, I don't talk about His Majesty's family affairs, and I rarely even talk about court affairs, do you know why?"

Without waiting for Shen Leng to answer, the old courtyard continued: "When it comes to political affairs, I can't talk about Mu Zhaotong, and I can't talk about Lai Cheng, if you want to talk about business, why should Your Majesty look for me?" So from the very beginning, I knew that when His Majesty came to me, most of the things he had to talk about were not political affairs, but His Majesty's thoughts. ”

Shen Leng nodded, and felt a little bit when he heard these words.

"That's what I'm trying to say."

The old dean's footsteps stopped, and his tone became a little serious: "As a courtier, you have to understand what Your Majesty needs, I did what Your Majesty wanted to do, and it happened to be what I was willing to do, so I had the unity of the monarch and the minister in the mouth of the ministers." ”

Shen Leng snorted: "Sir, I mean, let me think more about it in the future, what does Your Majesty need me to do?" ”

"Your Majesty needs you well."

The old dean said: "What Your Majesty needs you to do, I will tell you directly, Your Majesty doesn't need you to do anything, you should think about it." ”

Shen Leng frowned slightly: "Your Majesty, don't you need me to do anything?" ”

"You don't understand?"

The old dean looked at Shen Leng: "I really don't understand?" ”

"Really."

"I heard that Your Majesty gave your two children some rewards, Xiao Shen Ji led a thousand cattle to prepare himself, Xiao Shen Ning made the county lord, you knelt in the Dongnuan Pavilion and resolutely refused to accept it, this is exactly what Your Majesty does not want you to do."

Shen Leng said: "But sir, you should know that my income is too much, I am already a great pillar of the country at my age, or a general from a product, the things I did for Daning, Your Majesty's rewards have exceeded what I deserve, my eldest children have not done anything for Daning, they are not qualified to receive these rewards." ”

The old dean sighed, "Do you think you are doing the right thing? ”

Shen Leng said: "Am I doing something wrong?" Children start to enjoy this from birth, it makes them take it for granted, and I have to let them know that if you don't give, you don't deserve it. ”

The old dean let out a long breath again: "You melon peel." ”

Shen Leng: "Huh? ”

The old dean seemed to be a little angry, and glared at Shen Leng fiercely: "Remember in the future, you can refuse whatever Your Majesty rewards you, Your Majesty will not be angry, but what Your Majesty rewards Xiao Shen Ji and Xiao Shen Ning, you don't refuse, if you refuse, Your Majesty will be angry." ”

"Why?"

Shen Leng was puzzled: "It has to make some sense." ”

The old dean shook his head: "Sure enough, it's a melon peel." ”

He turned around and walked forward, and said in his heart, don't you know that being a grandfather must love your grandchildren, and you have to get the consent of your son? Your Majesty said that you can take care of it, you can't help it.

You just can't take care of it.
