To say this is an exaggeration.

The hairs on Changsun Hong's body are about to explode, and being praised by the top few bigwigs in the Southern Song Dynasty is not something that ordinary people can afford.

He was surprised and delighted, quickly stood up, bowed deeply, and bowed modestly: "The adult has won the prize, but the last general has just done something that should be done, in the chaos of the war, the one who does it is only to survive, and does not dare to covet others. ”

Wang Kui also got up and echoed: "Although the eldest grandson Hong has worked hard, but the two adults know it, and if they talk too much, it is not beautiful." ”

Speaking and listening, Meng Hui and Dong Huai are considered to be officialdom elites, of course they understand.

"Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, the eldest grandson and little brother are still so young, and he is a foreign minister, he has not been a Beijing official in Beijing, and he can't be called in front of all the adults in the court, and the credit is great, it is indeed a little inappropriate, Wang Kui is reasonable." Dong Huai touched his beard, thought for a while and said.

Meng Heng groaned, sighed and looked at Changsun Hong, "Sit down first, sit down and talk." ”

Changsun Hong sat down as ordered, and listened to Meng Heng say slowly: "Actually, when the Xichuan war is over, when the court talks about meritorious deeds, I know that I want to talk about merit, and Changsun Hong is definitely in the forefront, don't look at me in Jingxiang, I can also know a little about what happened in Xichuan." ”

"At that time, when I read what you reported, I thought it was strange, why did such an outstanding young man have so little military merit under his name? Either they were suppressed or falsely claimed. ”

He patted his thigh: "Young people have no qualifications, no backstage, and it is also common for them to be robbed by others." ”

Wang Kui's face turned red and he wanted to explain.

Meng Heng waved his hand to stop him, and said, "I know, this is the result of your discussion, the picture is Qingjing, the eldest grandson Hong is from a barbarian background, and people with red eyes can easily squeeze him away." Instead of cheapening others, it's better to help Wang Kui up, right? ”

Eldest Sun Hong and Wang Kui glanced at each other and said together: "Lord Mingjian." ”

"But ah, that's what wronged you." Meng Hui looked at Changsun Hong, and his eyes were full of regret: "If you work hard for the country, but you don't get the reward you deserve, you will definitely be cold, even if you are broad-minded and regard fame as dung, there must be some mustard in your heart." ”

Changsun Hong lowered his head, smiled, and raised it again with a free and easy face: "What the adults say, every sentence is reasonable, and ordinary people will indeed be unwilling." But I'm different, I'm a barbarian, I can't get into the stream, no matter how much credit I make, all the adults in the court will always be wary of me, and there is a roof on my head, and I can't go up to the beams of the house. ”

"For me, fame is a floating cloud, and a healthy life is the right way. I don't know, I am a country in Dali, located in the southwest, in and out of difficult places, and I have never seen much of the world. It is also very good to guard a little field all my life and be a peacekeeper, so if you have the opportunity, you can say a few kind words to all the lords in the court for me, and you don't need to regard my eldest grandson Hong as a trouble, and you don't have to bother with giving me any official position, if you really can't bear it, just give me a lot of gold and silver rewards! ”

He said these philistine words, his face didn't care, and he looked like a barbarian who really didn't love fame and fame.

Meng Hui and Dong Huai were both slightly stunned, and their eyes widened a little at the same time.

The house fell into a short embarrassment, generally speaking, serious young people who have read books should stand up at this time, impassionedly point to the sky, and express that they are willing to be indifferent to fame and fortune, willing to take root at the grassroots level, take Kuangfu Sheji as their own responsibility, work hard, and be unswerving.

But Changsun Hong doesn't play cards according to the routine.

"Ahem." Meng Hui coughed, and said thoughtfully: "What the eldest grandson brother said is from the bottom of his heart, I heard that you are a salt supervisor in Xichuan, and the plate is very big?" ”

"A little business, mainly to raise military expenses for Xichuan." The eldest grandson Hong said humbly: "By the way, to make some profits, and seek some welfare for the people of Dali in the mountains, it is all up to the adults to take care of it." The people of Dali have made a lot of efforts in the war against the northern captives, and if they don't give them some thoughts, it will be difficult for them to sacrifice their lives like this in the future. ”

"Oh." Meng Hui nodded, and looked at Wang Kui meaningfully: "It makes sense, it makes sense, Wang Kui, you are the envoy of Xichuan, the eldest grandson and little brother said it, you should write it down." ”

Wang Kui hurriedly agreed, and secretly exchanged a look with Changsun Hong silently.

You know, I know.

Meng Hui and Dong Huai also looked at each other, and this time Dong Huai spoke, and he seemed to casually or unintentionally lead the topic in another direction: "The two of you arrived, but it was just right." Master Meng and I are discussing the development of the current situation here, now that the northern captives have retreated, the Great Song Dynasty is strong, this autumn harvest is abundant, and the warehouse is overflowing, it is a good time to do something, I don't know what the two young people think about this? ”

He didn't wait for Wang Kui to speak, pointed to the eldest grandson and said, "Why don't you talk about it first?" ”

Wang Kui was stunned for a moment and blinked his eyes twice.

Is this going to be an exam?

Meng Hui also echoed: "The eldest grandson and the little brother have been entangled with the Beiyu for so long, there must be some insight, it is better to listen to it, let the two old men also change their thinking." ”

The four eyes stared at Changsun Hong fiercely, like a master waiting for the student to answer a question.

Changsun Hong was staring at his body and involuntarily leaned back, twisting uncomfortably.

Being stared at by two old men is uncomfortable for everyone.

So after thinking about it for a while, Changsun Hong looked at the ground a foot away in front of him, and slowly considered it: "This...... Although the Mongols did not have many troops stationed in the Han land, they were expensive in maneuvering, and once a large number of cavalry moved, they could run in the north and south of the Central Plains in a few days, north of the Yangtze River and the Huai River, so they were still under the firm control of the Beiyu soldiers. ”

"On the other hand, my Great Song Dynasty has repelled the northern captives who have become more and more rampant in recent years, but it is not that we won, the correct expression should be that the northern captives have retreated by themselves, and this victory is a tragic victory."

"If you want to do something, I personally think that we should focus on internal cultivation and external palace. Over the years, the Great Song Dynasty has paid tribute every year, sent troops every year, and spent millions of dollars on military spending every year. ”

"I Kwun Tong reported that since the beginning of this year, there have been more than 100 civil unrest in Jiangsu and Zhejiang alone, not counting the Xiangma bandits in Sichuan and other places.

Paper money is different from gold, silver and copper coins, and the price of Sichuan has doubled in the past two years, which is the result of indiscriminate issuance and indiscriminate issuance regardless of the gold and silver standard...... It's a bit far to say this. ”

"In short, taking advantage of the good weather in the past two years, the northern captives are busy with civil strife, and the great opportunity is that it is the time to strengthen the army and prepare for war, use sages internally, and rectify internal affairs; Use good generals externally and train elite soldiers. When the northern captives go south again a few years later, choose the right battlefield, use the right tactics, do not seek to occupy the city, but only kill the enemy and behead them, defeat them in the movement, step by step, tie up their own fences, and then ......"

He looked at the bulging eyes of the two old men opposite, and felt that it seemed that he should not say any more, so he said: "Then there will be no more, I am done." ”

Meng Hui and Dong Huai on the opposite side didn't say a word, squinting, as if they were thinking about something.

Changsun Hong just had a feeling, and said everything he thought in his heart, but he ignored the limitations of people in this era, and then woke up and quickly stopped the car.

Halfway through, Meng Heng frowned, touched his beard, and got up to serve tea: "After talking for a long time, the two of you are also tired, so it's better to go and rest first, and wait for the dinner to start, we are talking." ”

Wang Kui and Changsun Hong got up to say goodbye, and a servant came in and led them away.

Looking at the backs of the two, Dong Huai also stood up, stood beside Meng Hui, and asked softly, "How?" What does the festival manager think of this kid's future? ”

"Not good." Meng Hui seemed a little disappointed, and shook his head slightly: "The talent is good, and there are some new things to talk about, but looking at things in the long run, the future development is probably just like what he said, there is a roof pressing, and he can't get up." ”

When he said this, he probably was afraid of being beaten in the war with the Beiyu, and he thought about it for the sake of safety. Now there are not many talents, and the marshal can give him some more opportunities. ”

"No, Dong Gong, knowing people is in one thought, seeing one step and knowing a hundred steps. This person has no ambitions, greedy for things outside the body, it is the nature of a barbarian, my generation is pursuing the restoration of the world, how can I be impressed by Lilu? ”

"What does that mean?"

"Now over there in Tokyo, Fan Yunjie of Beiyu Province, who guards Henan, was originally the general of the Northern Army of my Great Song Town, regretting that there is no way in Beiyu, and he has the heart to return to the Great Song Dynasty, and has been secretly sending envoys to exchange news with me, and is willing to join Henan Province, this is the top priority, this time in Beijing, I want to meet with the official family, set up the pros and cons, and must promote this matter."

"So ......"

"Since our focus is on Henan, Sichuan, we have to stabilize, Wang Kui trusts Changsun Hong, this person has no major problems, knows how to advance and retreat, covets the common feelings of rich and noble, although there are shortcomings, but it can be used, I think it will be according to his wishes, let him get some cheap, and still help us staring at the west."

Dong Huai pondered for a while, and felt that what Meng Heng said was very reasonable, and it seemed that it was safer to deal with it like this, so he said: "Then go to Beijing, we must talk to the two governors, so as not to snub the Privy Council because the eldest grandson Hong is a barbarian." ”

When Meng Heng heard this, he laughed, looked at his old friend and said with a smile: "Dong Gong, Dong Gong, you are smart all your life, why are you still confused at this time?" Do we need to talk about that? The two adults of the dynasty were both outstanding people for a while, and they summoned the regimental training envoy Sun Hong to Beijing, wasn't it just to win over the barbarians? Don't worry, the eldest grandson Hong will go cheaply, and there will be no difference. ”

Dong Huai patted his head, as if he was in a dream, shook his head, and laughed.

On the other side, Wang Kui and Changsun Hong, who were led to the side hall to drink tea, were talking.

Wang Kui was complaining, he didn't understand why Changsun Hong wanted to make that appearance just now.

"Doesn't that make a bad impression on the two adults?" He was puzzled, looked at the eldest grandson who was sipping tea and said, "What's the benefit to you?" ”

"Nothing good." Changsun Hong spit out a piece of tea: "There is no harm." ”

"It's not good, it's not good, you still say that!" Wang Kui was a little angry: "Lord Meng is the trust of all the lords in the court, and he helps you say one sentence, which is worthy of ten sentences from others." ”

"Oh? Is it so powerful? Are you sure? Changsun Hong exclaimed, but he could see that he was pretending to be a fool like that.

Wang Kui became more and more angry: "Of course it's true! Master Meng has 100,000 armor under his command, swinging for the clouds, and the shield for the mountain, which one of the soldiers has such a strong family background? Even the officials have to pay him three points. ”

"Even the officials have to respect him for three points...... Big brother, don't you think this is very similar to some of the previous adults? Changsun Hong put down the teacup, lowered his voice, stretched his head to Wang Kui, and whispered.

"...... you mean?" Wang Kui frowned, as if he understood the meaning of the words.

"Back then, Yue Fei and Yue Wumu, the official family also respected him for three points." Changsun Hong looked into his eyes, and gently spit out these words with a face that was slowly disappearing with a smile, with his mouth.
