After a while, the man rode his horse and galloped in front of Liu Shouguang, and then stopped the horse.

In addition to a few guards, there were also two scribes, but they were staff members in the Yan Palace.

One of the two scribes appeared to be a middle-aged man in his forties, while the other was a young man in his thirties.

The middle-aged scribe jumped off his horse, saluted Liu Shouguang, and said breathlessly: "King, it's almost dark now, why is the king still hunting outside the city?" ”

This person was dressed in a white Confucian costume and looked resolute, and it was Sun He, Liu Shouguang's staff.

Sun He was originally Liu Shouwen's staff, and Liu Shouwen took refuge in Liu Shouguang after he was defeated and killed.

As a staff member, Sun He not only did his duty conscientiously, but also often admonished Liu Shouguang.

For example, Liu Shouguang likes to hunt, and he has advised him many times, but unfortunately it is useless at all, but often angers Liu Shouguang.

If it weren't for the fact that this Sun He was indeed very talented, according to Liu Shouguang's temper, he would have killed this person a long time ago.

However, it was obvious that Sun He had not yet realized that Liu Shouguang's patience with him was about to run out.

"You're here in a hurry to look for Lone, and that's what you're looking for?" Liu Shouguang frowned and said coldly.

Sun He was taken aback by his tone, and seeing that his face was extremely gloomy, he suddenly didn't dare to mention the safari again, and turned to get down to business: "King, that's the case, just now there was an envoy from Wang Rong, the king of Zhao in Zhenzhou, and an envoy from the king of Beiping in Dingzhou, saying that Zhu Wen was plotting against Dingzhou and had already occupied Shen and Hebei prefectures, so the two of them sent envoys to ask the king for help!" ”

"Wang Rong and Wang Chu have always been at odds with Gu, they fought with Zhu Wen, what do they have to do with Gu? Why did Lone save him? Liu Shouguang sneered.

Sun He was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly explained: "The king, that Wang Rong and Zhu Wen fell out and asked the king for reinforcements, this is the heavens want the king to achieve a great cause!" ”

"Huh? How so? Liu Shouguang frowned, looking a little impatient, obviously still dissatisfied with the fact that he had just alarmed his prey.

"Great King, you have always been worried about the stability of the relationship between Wang Rong and Zhu Wen, and Zhu Wen's ambition can only satisfy him by capturing the whole of Heshuo; Now that the two families have fallen out, as long as the king agrees to send troops and resist the Liang army with Wang Rong, the two forces of pacification and determination will fall to the king! Sun He persuaded him.

On the side, another young scribe also spoke at this time: "Yes, the king should also send troops as soon as possible, otherwise if the army is late, the Jin army will be in front, and then Wang Rong and Wang Chuzhi will turn to the king of Jin!" ”

"Hmph, that Wang Rong has been treacherous many times, and now he deserves to be attacked by Zhu Wen! He and Zhu Wen are confronted by each other, and Lone is just sitting on his profits, so why save him? Liu Shouguang sneered.

"Great King......" The young scribe and Sun He shouted in unison, obviously trying to persuade again.

Liu Shouguang shouted impatiently: "Enough! Lonely is the king of Yan, and lonely is the envoy of the Youzhou Festival! What do you want to do, do you still want you Feng Dao to teach? ”

He scolded the young scribe in his mouth, but his eyes were on Sun He.

After all, compared to Sun He, the status of the young scribe was much lower, and Sun He was also a person of some status in Youzhou, so Liu Shouguang didn't want to scold him directly, and planned to save some face for him.

After being scolded by Liu Shouguang, Sun He and Feng Dao glanced at each other, and they both saw the disappointment and helplessness in each other's eyes.

But when it comes to this, the two of them are naturally not good at persuading, so they can only keep silent.

"That's it, it's getting dark now, so let's go back to the city and rest!" After experiencing this, Liu Shouguang had no interest in continuing the safari, and immediately threw the bow in his hand to the surrounding guards, and then rode away.

Behind them, Sun He and Feng Dao looked at Liu Shouguang's departing back and were silent for a long time.

"Such a good opportunity, if it can be grasped, it is enough for the king's power to go beyond Youzhou and march into Dingzhen and town, but it's a pity that the king ...... Alas! Sun He sighed in a low voice.

No matter how loyal he is, no matter how hard he persuades, what is the use, Liu Shouguang doesn't listen to him at all, so he can't help it.

"Mr. Sun, the king is so fond of safaris, so he is obsessed with political affairs, and he is unwilling to listen to advice, I am afraid that it will not last long in the future!" Feng Dao looked around and saw that a few guards were far away, so he immediately whispered.

Sun He shook his head and said, "Do your best, listen to the destiny of heaven!" As a member of the king's staff, the old man has the responsibility to advise. No matter what, the old man will not let the king go on the path of destruction! ”

"Exhortation? With all due respect, with the king's temperament, he has been patient with Mr. Sun for a long time, if Mr. is not angry with him, maybe he will entrust Mr. with a heavy responsibility, otherwise the disaster of killing is not far away! Feng Dao persuaded in a low voice.

"Killing? If the king can wake up, even if my grandson dies, he will die a well-deserved death! ”

"Mr. Sun!" Feng Dao was greatly moved.

The person in front of him, although he is not well-known in the world, is a person that Feng Dao admires very much.

Especially Sun He was dedicated to Liu Shouguang's consideration, and even did not care about his own life, this kind of behavior that seemed to him to be a bit foolish and loyal, although he did not agree with it very much, but he admired it very much in his heart.

"Okay, you don't have to say more, the old man was the courtier of the king's father, and later became the courtier of the king's brother, but he has never been able to serve them, and now it's time to serve them!" Sun He sighed.

Feng Dao was silent, he didn't think much of Sun He's words in his heart.

Loyalty to the Lord is of course the duty of a minister.

However, loyalty should also pay attention to the current situation, if it is for a person who is not worthy of service at all, it is not what Feng Dao agrees with.

In addition, in Feng Dao's view, in addition to being loyal to the sovereign, it is also necessary to be loyal to the people and put the people first.

If he patronizes loyalty to the lord and king, but does not care about the life or death of the people, such foolish and loyal deeds are also not taken by him.

At this time, Sun He said softly: "Feng Dao, you are still young, and you are not very important to the king. The old man knows that you are extremely talented, and you are a person who cares about the people. The old man doesn't ask you to serve the king wholeheartedly, he just hopes that you can do your part! ”

Feng Dao was stunned and said: "This is natural, although Feng is not willing to serve the king like Mr. Sun, he will not turn his back on the king!" ”

Sun He said: "Then what if one day you accidentally anger the king, and the king is ready to kill you?" ”

Feng Dao sweated on his forehead, and said stupidly: "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die!" ”

Sun He shook his head with a smile and said, "You are not an honest person who guards death!" ”

"Mr. Sun......"

"That's it, you don't need to say more!" Sun He waved his hand and stopped Feng Dao.

"In the future, if the king really imprisons you and wants to kill you, then if you have a way to escape, run away!"

Feng Dao was silent.

Will there be a day when Liu Shouguang wants to kill him in the future? He thought it was probably there.

Liu Shouguang used to be a mediocre and ignorant person, but after becoming the king of Yan, he became even more arrogant and tyrannical.

He even made an iron cage and an iron brush, and if anyone angered him, he would be thrown into the cage and burned from the outside, or skinned by brushing, and put to death in these most brutal ways.

His atrocities had caused the Yandi soldiers to flee one after another to avoid disaster, but Liu Shouguang turned a blind eye, remained stubborn, and became more arrogant.

In Feng Dao's view, as long as he still insists on his duty as a minister, it is inevitable to anger Liu Shouguang in the future.

Then in the future, even if you don't lose your head, it is extremely possible that you will be put in prison.

Seeing that Feng Dao was silent, Sun He asked with a smile: "If you really have a day to flee in the future, where are you going to flee?" ”

This kind of problem is extremely taboo, if it is spread and Liu Shouguang knows about it, I am afraid that both of them will inevitably lose their heads.

However, although the two have not been in contact for a long time, and the age difference is nearly 20 years, they are old friends and trust each other very much, so they will not shy away from talking about these things.

"If you really need to flee someday, you must flee to the Jin Kingdom in the next day! Li Cunmiao, the king of Jin, is a masterpiece in the world, and knows how to make good use of people, and now the Jin country is prestigious, and there are many good generals, and the person who may be able to dominate the world one day in the future is the king of Jin! Feng Dao said in a low voice.

"King Jin? It's also a good choice. But haven't you ever thought about going south to join King Wu? ”

"Wu Wang Yang Wu?" Feng Dao's heart moved, and he thought about it seriously.

"Yes, King Wu's power is greater than that of the Jin Kingdom, and now King Wu is bent on unifying the south first, so he is at peace with the Liang Kingdom in the north. However, in terms of military strength, King Wu's strength is only afraid that it is no worse than that of the Liang State, and even above the Jin State! Sun He said in a low voice.

"The strength of Wu is strong enough, but after all, I am a northerner, and I don't have much reputation, if I go south rashly, will King Wu reuse me?" Feng Dao frowned.

"Haha, King Wu and King Jin are both masterpieces in the world, it stands to reason that it is good to go to whichever one you go to, but the old man thinks it is better for you to defect to King Wu!"

"Why does Mr. Sun think so?"

Sun He said with a smile: "The old man's reason is very simple, then King Wu attaches equal importance to civil and military affairs, whether it is a civil official or a military general, as long as he has talent, he will reuse it; And King Jin, in addition to a Zhang Chengye, you also saw that scribe being reused? ”

Strictly speaking, Zhang Chengye was not a scribe, but a eunuch, but he was generally biased towards civil officials.

In the Jin Kingdom, except for Zhang Chengye, there are indeed no civilian officials who are famous in the world, which is inseparable from Li Cunmiao's greater emphasis on the army and military generals.

On the other hand, after Yang Wu established the country, he established the bachelor system to replace the prime minister system, but it also made Gao Mian, Zhou Yin, Yan Keqiu, Luo Zhixiang, Chen Yanqian and other civil officials famous all over the world.

In addition, Wu Guo also began the imperial examination a few years ago, and gradually replaced military generals with civilian officials to serve as local officials.

In the appointment of scribes, it is obvious that the state of Wu paid much more attention than the state of Jin.
