(Ask for collection and recommendation)

"I'm going to go on a trip and return to Beijing in about half a month." Lou Ji told his good friend Ma Wei about his decision, and for him, this trip was imperative.

"What are you going to do?" Ma Wei had just finished listening to Lou Ji talk about the experience of Guangpu Temple, and he had a mocking smile on his face.

"Traveling around, visiting the people, and seeing what the people's lives are like, you won't go far. The emperor is right, I can't just say that he is in a hurry based on just one article, I have to open my eyes and see the real situation. ”

Ma Wei was stunned for a moment, "That Huanyan County Lord really persuaded you?" ”

Lou Ji thought for a while, "It's not all because of her, when I had a dispute with Duan Shizi, I had already come to this conclusion." The fake emperor was in front of me, and I could argue with him repeatedly, and even eight points sure that he would be speechless, but the emperor's doubts were not answered after all, and I was talking on paper anyway. ”

Ma Wei showed a strange smile, as if he had heard a complicated joke, and he never understood the meaning, "First, we are readers, although many of the books we have read are not sage classics, but we are also readers, for so many years, we have learned to see the subtleties and learn to follow the name and be responsible......"

"To travel is to be 'responsible'."

"But you have lost the truth of being a 'scholar', if you have to do everything yourself, what is the use of reading? There are thousands of truths in the book, can you test each one? If you want to know the situation of the people, you can go to the provincial ministry and the Taiwan Pavilion to see the recitals sent by officials from various places, and in three days, you can understand the details of the whole world. But you can't see the general trend, the general trend is in the book and in the heart, this is the ability of the reader, and it is also the value of the reader. The emperor didn't understand this, so he was not worthy of being the emperor, and he should go to the household department to be a treasurer. ”

Lou Ji smiled, "What I want to see is not the details, nor the general trend, but the ...... Feel. ”

"Whose feelings?"

"The feelings of the people, my feelings, the feelings of the world."

Ma Wei shook his head helplessly, "Forget it, I won't argue with you, there is a more important second." Ma Wei grabbed one of Lou Ji's arms, his expression was unprecedentedly serious, "Our plan does not include convincing the emperor, the emperor cannot be convinced, and the foundation brother should know it." ”

Hearing the words "I know", Lou Ji took out a lock of hair from his arms and put it in Ma Wei's hand.

"What is this?" Ma Wei was puzzled.

"The 'gift' that Hong Daxia gave me."

"Black-haired dog hair?" Ma Wei showed disgust.

"Zhou Lu's concubine."

Ma Wei was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and sniffed, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, there is a trace of fragrance." Throwing his hair on the table to the side, he wiped his hands, "Brother Jie thinks Hong Daohui is unusable?" Haha, Guo Shifeng is really self-defeating, and he swore to me that you have been completely persuaded by him. ”

"When I'm traveling, Brother Ma can find a more suitable assassin."

"Of course, it's not a big deal." Ma Wei had no intention of arguing about Hong Daohui's ability, and sighed lightly, "Brother Ji has made up his mind?" ”

"Well, I'll leave early tomorrow morning, and Duan Shizi will send someone to show me the way."

"What more can I say?" Ma Wei sighed again, "I only hope that my brother really wants to travel." ”

"Of course it's sincere, does Brother Ma think I'm taking the opportunity to escape?"

"Hehe, I'm afraid that the hero of the younger brother will be sad about the beauty pass?"

"Lord Huanyan? She is the daughter of the king of Xiangdong and is loved by the two emperors, and I am just ...... What's more, we didn't meet at all, just a few words, when I agreed to go out to travel and see the situation of the people with my own eyes, the conversation ended, Duan Shizi and the eldest princess came in, and everyone talked for a while, and I told you everything. ”

"Brother I'm too young." Ma Wei sighed.

"What does this have to do with being young?" The building is still puzzled.

"I am considered to be a person from the past, and I remind my brother: The truth in this world is not in the book, some things have happened over and over again from ancient times to the present, but no one can correct them, the love between men and women is one of them, from ancient times to the present, everyone makes the mistakes that should be made."

Lou Ji still didn't quite understand, "What is the mistake you are talking about?" Forgetful? Indulgence? ”

Ma Wei smiled: "It seems that I am thinking too much, and it is not time for my brother to make a mistake." ”

Lou Ji was even more surprised, "Brother Ma made a mistake? ”

"Yes, and it's a big mistake, but don't worry, I'm past that age, and my wife and children are like guests to me, and I will never do anything bad because of them."

Lou Ji smiled, in fact, this was not the answer he wanted to get, and arched his hand: "Farewell, see you in half a month." ”

"What about the General? What if he wants to send you to the Emperor again? ”

"Half a month, he can wait."

Ma Wei knew that he couldn't persuade Lou Ji, so he had to give up: "Half a month, I hope that after Brother Ji comes back, he will not suddenly become a loyal minister, and he just wants to persuade him to be a good emperor today." ”

"This trip, I just want to solve the doubts in my heart, no matter what I see and hear, it will not change my opinion of the emperor: the emperor is not convincing, and the plans of Duan Shizi and others are all bamboo baskets to draw water in the end."

"Then I'll be relieved." Ma Wei sent Lou Ji out, "Brother Ji needs to bring some coils, right?" ”

"I have some money at home, it's enough, this trip is not for fun, there shouldn't be much money to spend, and Duan Shizi will get me an official letter from the Yushitai, if necessary, I can use this to stay in the official post."

"Haha, I see, my brother is traveling on a mission."

"If you don't have to, try not to use it." Lou Ji didn't dare to say dead, he had never been far away, and he didn't know if the little money he had saved at home was enough.

Lou Ji went home to prepare, the old servant couldn't care about the son, and heard that he didn't have to go with him, so he was greatly relieved.

The building was packed up here, and Ma Wei was not idle there, and immediately sent someone to invite Guo Shifeng.

"This Lou Gongzi is young, but he is a little pedantic, can Master Ma see it accurately? He's not going to ruin our plans, is he? Guo Shifeng is not familiar with the building foundation, and he does not trust it so much.

"No, I've known Lou Ji for many years, he is a thoughtful person, no matter what he learns, he has to be slow to learn, he often has to ponder repeatedly, and he can think about what others don't want, but once he recognizes it, he will never change easily."

"That's good, but he's been gone for half a month - it's been too long, I'm afraid that the night will be long and there will be too many dreams, and we won't be able to wait that long."

"He wants to leave, but I can't stop him. That's the problem. Mavi took out the lock of hair.

"This is Hong Daxia's hair?"

"Yes, but it doesn't belong to Zhou Lu, it's Zhou Lu's concubine, Hong Daohui got the wrong target." Ma Wei's face was not very good-looking.

"It must be too dark at night, Hong Daxia can't light the lamp, so he has to catch whoever has the hair. It's a trivial matter, at least Hong Daxia's kung fu is right. ”

Ma Wei said coldly: "Assassination is no better than other things, a slight negligence will lead to a big mistake, Hong Daohui cut the wrong hair, which means that he is not very reliable, this is what I am worried about." ”

"As long as you plan carefully in advance, Hong Daxia will not be a problem."

Ma Wei was still relieved, "Lou Ji thought that Hong Daohui was the person I found, but he was the ...... you brought from Jiangdong."

"Please believe me." Guo Shifeng said with a smile.

"Of course I can trust you, but Hong Daohui - there is no other choice?"

"This kind of thing can't be openly found, Hong Daxia has the best choice, I believe that with the strategy of you and me, it is enough to make up for the assassin's small negligence, the real problem is to find out the specific whereabouts of the emperor as soon as possible. Liang Shengzhi is unreliable, and the building has been gone for half a month, which is really ......"

"There's another way."

Guo Shifeng immediately smiled, "I knew that Master Ma Hou would have a plan." ”

"This road is more risky, and the person I'm looking for may be of great help or sell us together."

"Wealth is in danger, how can it be a big thing if you don't take risks?"

"The left Sima Huangfu step of the palace."

Guo Shifeng was really taken aback, "Huangfu is a famous minister beside the emperor, how could Marquis Ma think of him?" ”

"Huangfu Kai, the father of Huangfu Rank, guarded Jizhou, led the army deep into Mobei three times, pursued the cavalry of He Rongbu, once lost and returned in vain, once returned with a big defeat, and once with a slight victory."

"Well, hundreds of levels of beheading, I don't know who it is, Huang Fu Kai invited the imperial court for this, and also encouraged the emperor to drive the imperial expedition in person - but as far as I know, Huang Fu Kai is still one of the emperor's most trusted ministers."

"Not necessarily, Lou Ji gave me a reminder, the emperor is now forbearing, the more trust on the surface, the more jealous he may be in his heart, and the emperor's eyes are not allowed to be delicate, the emperor has frequently damaged the soldiers, He Rongbu is getting stronger and stronger under his nose, and the emperor can't help but be angry. I heard Lou Ji talk about the emperor's attitude towards the emperor's rank, and obviously did not regard him as the son of Jiangmen. ”

"Lou Hard is not regarded as the son of the general."

"It's different, Lou is hard-chested and has no ambitions, as long as his position is stable, he can endure how much humiliation he suffers, I have specially inquired about this person in the Huangfu rank, on the surface he laughs and scolds, and he is not informal, but in fact, he will repay him, his face is kind and ruthless, and he must have resentment against the emperor."

"That's enough, to put it bluntly, a strategist like us, half of us rely on his mouth to persuade people, and half rely on his eyes to see people, and see that this person is persuasive, and the matter becomes more than half. The so-called difficult to see people, easy to persuade people, Ma Hou Ye has finished the difficult things, and it is my turn to do the easy part - I went to the Huangfu Steps, one is to inquire, the other is to persuade, if you can really get news from him, there is no need for the building. ”

"Well, what can you promise to the Huangfu family?"

"At least one Jizhou, the rest must act at the opportunity."

Ma Wei arched his hand, "It's not that I don't want to come forward, it's really my special identity, I have been a classmate of Lou Ji for many years, and I can talk well, and I have no friendship with the Huangfu family." ”

"Understood, understood, Master Ma doesn't need to say much, just sit at home and wait for my news." Guo Shifeng got up and prepared to leave.

Ma Wei also got up, but his heart was still not steady enough, "That flood road is restored ......"

"Unless Marquis Ma has a better choice, otherwise, it can only be him."

Ma Wei sighed heavily, "Okay, stabbing this kind of thing, the sword is still secondary, and it is important not to be chaotic in the face of danger, Hong Daohui at least has the courage." ”

"That's right, there may be swordsmen and swordsmen in the world with more advanced skills, but don't talk about stabbing drivers, just hearing these two words, you will be scared away, Hong Daxia will not, and his parents, wife and children are in the hands of King Guangling, and he will never dare to betray."

Ma Wei couldn't think of a better candidate, so he nodded, "That's him." If you don't wait for the building to come back, maybe something big has already happened. ”
