"Master, the concubine only asks you to drive that adopted son away, can you agree?" Cheng lay on the bed with an aggrieved face and begged.

"Take care of your illness." Gao Yuanhe said with concern.

Cheng suddenly struggled down from the bed and shouted, "Master, please promise the concubine, otherwise the concubine would rather die here!" ”

Gao Yuanhe hurriedly carried her to the bed and said, "You, Yi'er just accidentally bumped into you, and you have already apologized, why do you have to get along with Yi'er?!" If you don't like him, you don't see him, why not! ”

Cheng cried and said, "Master, if you don't agree to the concubine, just wait to collect the body of the concubine!" Cheng said with a resolute face.

Gao Yuanhe said helplessly, "Yi'er has been by my side for seventeen years, even if I want to drive him away, I must have a reason!" Otherwise, what will outsiders think of me! ”

"Then you find a reason, drive him away, the concubine will never want to see him again."

"Let me think again! If Yi'er is really useless and incompetent, I will send him away. However, there must be a process for everything, and you have to recover from the illness first, understand? ”

Cheng nodded, and Gao Yuanhe saw that she was a lot calmer, and then came out of the room.

Standing in the courtyard, he pondered. He liked this adopted son very much, and if he wanted to drive him away, he was very reluctant to do so, and he just promised his wife just to appease her first. However, he is also thinking about it in his heart, to see how capable this adopted son is!

......

In the North Protector's Mansion Academy, two young men were talking.

One is his adopted son Gao Hongyi, who is seventeen years old this year. The other boy who was slightly chubby and very pleasant-looking, and looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old was his younger brother, Gao Wenxing, the sister-in-law of Gao Yuanhe, the general of the Northern Protector Ma Division.

"Brother Hongyi, I heard Li Zhong say that you killed a Mongol? It's true? Gao Wenxing asked curiously.

"Of course," Gao Hongyi said confidently.

"You're not afraid of the Mongols? Mr. Lee said they were all as vicious as eagles and as shrewd as wolves! ”

Gao Hongyi couldn't help laughing, "My good brother, no matter how vicious and shrewd a person is, he won't live long without weapons and companions!" ”

"What doesn't live long?" Gao Yuanhe, who had a serious face, stood at the door at some point. "If you don't study hard, you will talk nonsense!"

"Father" Gao Hongyi and the brothers hurriedly stood up.

"How's your schoolwork, what have you been learning lately?" Gao Yuanhe motioned for them to sit down and asked about the two brothers' homework.

"Back to my father's words, Mr. Li has recently been talking about the controversy of a hundred schools, making the children think about which academic school is most applicable today." Gao Wenxing said and looked at his father, who seemed to be thinking about something, so he continued: "The child thinks that Confucianism is the most applicable today. ”

"Oh, why?"

"The child thinks that since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism alone, Confucianism has always been the orthodoxy of the emperor for nearly a thousand years, and the importance of learning and the respect of the people shows that Confucianism is the most important and most conforming to the hearts of the people, so the child believes that Confucianism is the most applicable today."

Gao Yuanhe nodded and looked at Gao Hongyi.

"Yi'er, what do you think?"

"The child thinks that Confucianism is not advisable!"

"Oh, why do you understand that?"

Gao Hongyi pondered for a moment, and said with a resolute face: "Back to my father, when a hundred schools of thought were contending, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were competing for hegemony, with Han Feizi's Legalist family Qiang Qin in the front, and Su Qin in the back, and Zhang Yi Lianheng, and even the unification of the Qin State, Confucian scholars only acted as spectators.

The Qin Emperor ruled the world and burned books to pit Confucianism, resulting in the death of the second emperor. Han Wu respected Confucianism and said that there is a strong man. In the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, Mr. Kong Ming contacted the strongman many times, lobbied Wu Guo, and designed Cao Cao. After the disputes of the two Jin Dynasty and the north and the south, there are hundreds of opinions. By the time of the unification of the Sui and Tang dynasties, Confucianism was revered. After the rebellion of the Ten Kingdoms, the surname Zhao was unified and even today. It shows that Confucianism is respected in the prosperous times, and the world is in troubled times! ”

"Well, then if it is peaceful or troubled today, what should I learn?"

"Today, the Song State is located in the south, the Western Xia State is located in the northwest, the southwest has the Dali Kingdom, the Tibetan State, the Mongolian State in the northern grasslands, and the Jin State stands in the center. The world is divided, and the competition for hegemony is in the troubled times! Therefore, the child thinks that the vertical and horizontal family study is the most applicable"

Gao Yuanhe asked with a smile, "Yi'er, what Mr. Li told you today?" ”

"It's the kid's own thoughts."

"What do you think? So do you know what a small mess is and what a big mess is? Why is it called chaos today? ”

When Gao Yuanhe was talking, Gao Hongyi was watching him from the side. My father was different from the coldness he used to be, he smiled slightly, and looked like a teacher. At this moment, the rain outside is getting heavier and heavier, and the wind-blown windows are whirring, but Gao Hongyi doesn't feel it at all, he is thinking about how to respond to his father's words.

"The children think that there is a small mess, and the people cannot plow and study. In chaos, the country will never be at peace. Today, in the Jin Kingdom, the Western Xia Kingdom has surrounded the northwest and invaded the territory many times, causing the border residents to have no peace; The Song State was dissatisfied with the country of his sons and nephews, and he would wait for an opportunity to take revenge sooner or later. Mongolia's border passes are brave and fierce, and their combat power is strong, and once it becomes a climate, it will be a big trouble for the heart! According to these three points, the child thinks that the world is in chaos! ”

"You're old after all." Gao Yuanhe looked at his adopted son, and suddenly sighed, with a hint of remembrance in his eyes, as if he thought of someone. He couldn't help but ask: "You keep talking about the world, then tell me what the world is!" ”

Gao Hongyi said without thinking: "The world is the world of the people of the world, that is, my world!" ”

Gao Yuanhe was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Yi'er, you are still young, there is nothing wrong with you wanting the world." However, as a smart man, you should always understand what you can get and what you don't want to think about if you are unrealistic. You understand? ”

"The child understands."

Gao Hongyi's answer was neither humble nor arrogant, and Gao Yuanhe was a little suspicious that he understood that he should be a smart man, or that he was going to fight for the world. He decided to beat this adopted son again, after all, Dajin Kingdom has a very heavy punishment for the people who rebel, and it is impossible to think about it, if Gao Hongyi's words are spread today, the Gao family will definitely be ruined, even if they are far away in the northwest border.

"Yi'er, sooner or later, one day, you will go to the border to be a city lord and lead troops, protect your younger brothers and sisters, protect the Gao family, and assist Wen Xing to become a virtuous general, and when that day comes, you will naturally have your own world. But don't tell anyone else what you say today, it will bring disaster to you! ”

Gao Hongyi was silent!

Gao Yuanhe knew that this child had great ambitions since he was a child, so he gently comforted: "Child, my father knows that you want to be a person who brings peace to the poor and lives and works in peace and contentment. After all, on the Northwest Frontier, wars are frequent, and the poor people living here, who have not experienced war, and who have not died their relatives!

The people who live here yearn for peace, but there is no way, because this is the northwest border, a place where the Western Xia Kingdom and Mongolia and the Jin Kingdom meet, with the Jin and Western Xia fighting each other, the Mongols intrude from time to time, this has become a place of death!

Our Gao family has not been able to comfort the situation for decades, although my father is the general of the Northern Protector, he is just a name, and when the Western Xia or Mongol armies are overwhelmed one day, we will be vulnerable, and we will not be able to protect others at all.

"The child thinks that as long as the world is one, the world will be peaceful." Gao Hongyi said without humility or arrogance.

"Kyogen!" Gao Yuanhe scolded, "I have been protecting the north for my father for more than 20 years, but I dare to ask for the luxury of unifying the northwest!" What do you know about a hairy boy, you dare to talk about the unity of the world! ”

"Gu Youganluo worshiped the prime minister at the age of twelve, Huo Quzhi was in charge of the army at the age of sixteen, and the children are seventeen years old this year, which is much older than them."

"Good! Good! Good! It seems that it is really big, and even the words of the father dare to refute! Gao Yuan said angrily.

"Don't dare!"

"Don't dare? For the sake of the Father, you dare very much! Do you want to rule the world? Give you this opportunity for the Father. Gao Yuanhe said angrily, "If you want the world, you must first have soldiers, horses, money and food, without these two things, no matter how much you say, it's just talk on paper!" Black Flag City has always been reluctant to submit to my northern protector, as long as you can persuade them to submit, my father will believe that you are not talking nonsense just now! ”
