"Young master!"

Steward Wang shouted respectfully, Zhao Gou secretly smiled bitterly, he really felt that it was not a good thing to bring Steward Wang out, not only was he respectful and polite, but even the title had not changed. Zhao Gou told him hundreds of times along the way, and in the end he was still a 'young master'.

"How many times have I told you, let you call me 'Young Master', or defend the country, you don't have to shout 'Young Master'!"

Zhao Gou really didn't understand that Steward Wang was in good order, and even his brothers obeyed him, but he never changed in front of him, which made him very distressed, and he begged for mercy: "If you shout wrong again, you don't have to follow me out if you stay in the capital!" ”

"Less...... Master! Steward Wang held back for a long time, and finally spoke, very awkward, sweat flowed from his forehead, and he was a little nervous.

Zhao Gou saw that Steward Wang shouted out, so he didn't say anything more, he was a little helpless in his heart, and he was surprised, "Are these two words difficult?" ”

After Zhao Gou came out of the academy, he walked separately from everyone and went down the mountain directly to contact Steward Wang, and the two of them walked in parallel without going forward with them. Originally, it was good to go together, but Zhao Gou didn't want to walk with them, so he couldn't see it, so he walked alone, as long as he arrived at Xiangzhou Mansion in advance.

After leaving the academy, Zhao Gou and Steward Wang went all the way south to Tangyin County, wanting to pay tribute to their master, so Zhao Gou ordered Steward Wang to change his name to not Zhao Gou, but Zhao Weiguo. No matter how he persecuted, Steward Wang was unwilling, and in the end, Zhao Gou asked him to shout 'Young Master'.

When Steward Wang heard Zhao Gou ask him to call his name, the whole person was stunned, and he was immediately so frightened that he hurriedly shook his head, and he didn't agree to kill him. Steward Wang is rigorous and conscientious, you must know that calling the name of the young master is a big taboo, and it is not allowed in the etiquette system.

Zhao Gou came from later generations, these ancient etiquette was too complicated, and I always felt that some of them were too deliberate, but they limited people's nature, but sometimes they had to abide by it. If Zhao Gou is not from the later generations, I am afraid that it is the same as Steward Wang's thoughts.

The location of the academy is located in the middle of the mountains and forests of Ye County and Tangyin County, Xiangzhou Prefecture, and it is Tangyin to the south and Ye County to the north. So, Zhao thought about it or go to worship the master, which is what a disciple should do.

Zhao Gou and Steward Wang rode fast horses, arrived in Tangyin County in half a day, went directly to Zhou Dong's cemetery, brought incense, candles, and paper money, and passed; Zhao Gou came to the Zhou Dong cemetery, respectfully lit incense, candles, and paper money, and tried his best to remove the weeds near the cemetery, and brushed the handwriting on the tombstone again.

Due to the rush of time, Zhao Gou only stayed for an hour and left; During this period, Zhao Gou did not see anyone, not even acquaintances, so he rushed to Ye County non-stop, and he really came and went in a hurry, if time permitted, Zhao Gou was willing to stay longer.

The two of them were riding war horses in the army, needless to say, the endurance was good, after running back and forth, it was still a little unbearable, and finally Zhao Gou found an inn to rest in the middle, and prepared to continue the journey the next morning.

"Young master, there is something unknown to my subordinates!" Steward Wang has never had a chance to ask, but today he still asked.

Zhao Gou smiled: "Brother Wang wants to ask, why do I do this?" ”

Steward Wang nodded, whether it was him, or the King of Chu, Zhao Yougong, Zhao Qi and others, or the emperor, they were all a little puzzled. After Zhao Gou received the dismissal order again, he left without saying goodbye, leaving a letter and leaving, which was somewhat similar to Chen Guang.

At that time, everyone was stunned and didn't know what was going on. Zhao Gou seemed to have really disappeared, completely gone. Although he is the shopkeeper, he still knows a little about the contacts and contact information of the spies and others in the villa, and how simple it is to avoid hearing and seeing.

On that day, Steward Wang stayed in the county king's mansion anxiously waiting for news, but saw a carrier pigeon flying, he did not hesitate to catch it, and when he saw the handwriting on it, he knew that it was a letter from Zhao Gou, and after reading it, he let him come to the academy alone, and he was not allowed to tell anyone.

At that time, Steward Wang met with Zhao Gou, and Zhao Gou only told him to explain some things, asked him to remove all the people who traced his whereabouts, and ordered no one to be allowed to look for him, and he would appear when the time was ripe, just to leave temporarily.

Steward Wang didn't ask the reason, obeyed the order, and hurried back, conveying the things Zhao Gou ordered word for word; In addition, Zhao Gou also personally repaired a letter for him to transfer to Zhao Yougong, the king of Chu, the content of the letter is unknown, but when he saw Zhao Yougong's face and extremely angry, he guessed that it was not a good thing, and finally Zhao Yougong was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he asked him to accompany him, and also wrote a letter to reply.

So, Steward Wang rushed back to Zhao Gou and handed him the letter, and since then Steward Wang has stayed by Zhao Gou's side, has been hidden in the shadows, and has never shown up. In addition, Steward Wang has also become a bridge between Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong and others to transmit information.

Even so, Steward Wang is still a little puzzled, the emperor has already said, let Zhao Gou stay in the mansion and wait with peace of mind, I don't understand why he still came out, the most surprising thing for him is that Zhao Gou actually enrolled in the academy and abandoned martial arts, so he has been pressed in his heart and has never asked, and today is a rare opportunity, so he asked.

"The last time it was a little effective, but it didn't really convince people, because I didn't understand what literati think, so I chose to leave for a while, find a place that no one knows, and experience for myself what it is."

Zhao Gou knew that when he left, he must have made people panic, but he didn't say it before it was time at that time, so he had to hide it. Now, Zhao Gou has no reason to continue to hide it, and it can be regarded as an explanation to Steward Wang and others.

"If you want to defeat the enemy, you must understand what the enemy is like, and know that you can win all battles. If it is only on paper, it is useless, and even if it is useful, it is in vain. Thanks to the reminder of Lord Pan Lianggui, it was his opinion that allowed me to confirm this idea. ”

"When I entered the academy, I was already familiar with boring and boring books every day, and I still needed to review the past and learn the new every day, which made me feel that the ideas of the literati were not important, what mattered was whether everyone was willing to accept it, and loyally considered for the Great Song Dynasty, or selfishly considered for themselves."

"If you read the way of the saints all day long, but you have never applied it or experienced it, it is useless. If I didn't consider the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty, I just talked about the world with books and governed the Great Song Dynasty with my own ideas, and I entered the academy and gained fame because I wanted to see whether these people were studying for the country and the people, or for promotion and making a fortune. ”

"The original intention was to serve the country and the people, to be a good official, a clean official, and to leave a name in history, but what happened later was beyond expectations, and gradually went astray, forgetting his original intention and principles. If you want to change this situation, this road is probably very difficult to walk! ”

Steward Wang was at a loss, and asked as if he didn't understand, "Why is it difficult?" ”

"The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant!" Zhao Gou sighed, "Greed is human nature, and some people can't control themselves; If you are greedy once, you will gradually become more and more greedy, and finally greed will become greedy, and you will harm others and yourself. If everyone does this, the Great Song is in danger! ”
