It doesn't feel good at all to guard an old man shed tears and feel helpless, and he is still an old man in his prime, but Luo Kaixian really can't help it. Enlighten? Console? White lies? Don't talk about it, any kind of action is flashy and false in front of an old man who is nearly 100 years old.

So Luo Kai chose to sit quietly and be silent.

I don't know how long it took, the tears flickering in the corners of Lao Li Tan's eyes had dried up, and he opened his eyes again, "Why doesn't San Lang comfort my old decay like others?" ”

Luo Kaixian shook his head slightly, "Put it on others, words may be useful." For the ancestors, I am afraid it is in vain. Luo San is not stupid, since he first arrived in Sylvan two years ago, he has never heard of any action against the Saman family, and he must have already eliminated his grievances. ”

"Smack!" Lao Li Tan clapped his hands, and the previous depression had quietly disappeared, "Many old ghosts in the camp call you Zhiyong Luo Saburo, you really deserve it!" ”

"Praise from the elders!" The first time I heard someone evaluate himself like this, the thick-skinned man couldn't help but feel a little hot on his face.

"Praise or not, only people know for themselves!" waved his hand and responded casually, Lao Li Tan cheered up and said slowly, "What Shicai Saburo said is true, in the past, the craftsman camp was indeed a broken tail to survive, but the details were wrong. At the time of the incident, the old Saman was old and weak, and the three sons of the family were fighting for power, and the old man was friendly with the third son, but the second son was partial to the Turkmen tribe...... The result was that before I could lead the people eastward, the second son of the elder Saman tried to forcibly take our artisan battalion for his own use, and when he found that he could not get it, he borrowed troops from Turkmen to encircle and suppress our 30,000 soldiers......"

The old man's words were very slow, but Luo Kaixian didn't interject again, he could imagine the tragedy at that time, touching the struggle for imperial power, involving different tribes, presumably the Khorasan region at that time must have been full of corpses and rivers of blood.

“…… At that time, the artisan camp had a population of 200,000 people, of course, not only Tang people, but also many steppe people, highlanders, Israelites, and Asian Americans...... are all dead, at least 100,000 people have died, including the eldest son of the old man, the grandfather of Xiao Siniang, because he is the general of the army, he was only thirty-eight years old that year, and Tulongzi is only the year of dancing spoons...... Of course, after the war, the second son of the Samanid family also failed to please, and the highlanders and Turkmen died at least 150,000 people in total, including the second son of the Saman family himself and his subordinate eagle dogs...... "Maybe it was the past that was blocked in my heart to say that it was much more enjoyable, and Lao Li Tan's face was less sad, but more sighing."

It was a bloody lesson, and if it was not planned properly, it might be added to the lesson of not handling things secretly, Luo Kaixian could hear it, and he also knew deeply that what the old man in front of him needed was not any advice, nor any comfort, but just a listener, so he didn't say a word.

Old Li Tan looked at the man who didn't say a word with relief, he was very pleased to have someone like his great-grandson and son-in-law who understood to listen to his old nagging, "Do you know, at that time, the people who led the troops on the battlefield were far less merciful than San Lang, and women and children would become souls under the sword, and most of the leaders would ...... Killing prisoners, they have no scruples, they shout the name of the gods on their lips, but they are carrying out the devil's mission in their hands! ”

For a group of red-eyed people, the so-called moral bottom line will no longer exist, not to mention that in this era, in addition to political economy, there are more more negative and complex factors such as religion and race, it is conceivable that not only the moral bottom line, but also human nature may be a questionable existence.

He asked softly, "Ancestor, why has no one ever mentioned the past?" ”

"Bringing up the past?" Maybe it was because he had returned to the ancestral land of his dreams, or perhaps because he had unveiled the haze that had squeezed his heart for a long time, the old man's spirit was very good, and the conversation was full of addiction, "No, for many people, the past more than forty years ago is a nightmare, even the highlanders do not want to mention it, do you know, the winner of that slaughter was the Turkmen tribe, not because they were strong, but because they were numerous, like cattle, horses and sheep. ”

This is the result of the war of this era? Luo was also a little surprised.

"Ahem...... Lao Li cleared his throat, "You just need to know about such old things, and don't think about it in your spare time, it will make you as decadent as my old man, oh...... What does the old man want to say? ”

"Judge Advocate General? The art of the emperor? Elders? Luo Kai first guessed a few words.

"Oh, I remembered......" Lao Li Tan rubbed his forehead and said with some self-pity: "Old man, my old man!" Eldership...... The old man once thought that the elder system was the wisest move for me, which could calm the internal strife among the bait clan...... In fact, it is not the case, the clan has no external worries, or it can be applied, but in the face of foreign enemies, the snake has many heads, where is the order? In vain! When the foreign enemy arrives and responds in a hurry, what is the chance of victory? It is bound to waste people's lives, and there is even the danger of extinction! ”

The old man's words jumped a little, but Luo Kaixian still understood, isn't this talking about the pros and cons of decentralization and centralization? With the old man's words, the remnants of the old Tang people's old battalion elder system in the past are completely over, and he has lost one elbow. As for the so-called democracy, there is no soil for survival in this era, even if he wants to mention it, it is really unconvincing, so he still closes his mouth and listens.

Lao Li Tan was interested, and he didn't pay attention to Luo Kaixian's reaction, but continued to say on his own, "A family has a head of a family, a city has a lord of a city, and a country must also have a lord of a country, everything in this Lingzhou land is because of San Lang, so don't care about the old system of the elders in the past, San Lang doesn't need to care about other people's words, just do it yourself, as for the future, I don't know if I can see the goshawk spreading its wings and cruising for thousands of miles......"

"Why did the ancestor say this, two years ago we were still wandering in Sylvan, but now we have settled in the land of our hometown, now there is only one place in Lingzhou, how will it be after three or five years? Luo San may be able to rule the entire land west of the river! Although the ancestor is at ease, he will definitely see the glory of the younger generations! "A person's aging must first start with the mind, Luo Kaixian didn't want the oldest elder in the camp to indulge in the past, and it was rare to change a more passionate tone to encourage the old man.

He really hopes that this old man will live well, not only out of cherishment, but also out of respect.

"San Lang has a heart, according to San Lang's words, the old man also expects San Lang to become a king, or even an emperor!" Old Li Tan smiled with satisfaction, and then twisted his beard and said: "As for the Li family, don't worry about San Lang, more than a hundred years ago, Ye Zu had a family motto, and the Li family and my vein will never get involved in the change of dynasty. ”

"Oh, be taught!" Luo Kai sat up straight first and respectfully agreed.

At the age of Lao Li Tan, it can really be said that he has no desire and no desire, but in the end, he is a character who once surprised one party, and at the end of his life, there are juniors worth cultivating, he really wants to pass on all the experience he has to this junior, but unfortunately he has more than enough heart and insufficient strength, he can only choose the most important joint in his heart to tell, fortunately, this junior is really extraordinary, and the things he says can quickly grasp the essence.

"Haha" Li Tan, who was relieved by the old man, laughed twice, "San Lang is really very comparable, the old man is very comfortable in his heart, Xiao Siniang married you, it is a blessing for both families, if there is really one day, San Lang, you climb to the top, and the old man does not ask for a full door of vermilion, only when he is high and low, he treats other families equally, but what?" ”

"The ancestor has far-reaching vision, the kid admires it!" Luo Kaixian would not easily promise anything because of Li Tan's teachings, and only after responding to it did he open his mouth to explain what he thought in his heart, "Please forgive the kid for being arrogant, if Luo San is really the country one day, he will definitely establish a fair system that can be widely used, and he will never allow private people to run rampant, if the Li family wants to stand upright and steady, they must also obey it." What the kid said, what does the ancestor mean? ”

"Good!" Lao Li Tan clapped his hands and applauded, "Taste and listen to people's words, the eldest husband would rather take it in the straight, don't ask in the song!" The old man thought so! The body is stable, and the body is stable to gain a foothold, whether it is based on the field or in the court! The trick may succeed for a while, but it will be difficult to have the momentum of the Huanghuang in the end! What Saburo said won my heart! ”

was enthusiastically praised by an old man who was nearly 100 years old, Luo's old face turned red rarely, he was not good at self-humility, and he was not good at coaxing people to be happy, so he could only be silent.

"Look at the old man, I just remember to talk to you! Today is the day when San Lang and Xiao Siniang return to the door, the return banquet should have been prepared, come, pull the old man, go and taste the food prepared by the women, oh, remember to help the old man get a few more pieces of beautiful meat! Between the words, the old man with a calm atmosphere disappeared, and the old Li Tan, who was like an old urchin, returned.

Luo Kaixian's heart was much more relaxed, he endured the smile in his heart, lightly picked up the old birthday star, and turned to the other house.

As the old man's pace was a little slow, what he thought in his heart was very brisk, and the conversation with the old birthday star next to him not only verified what he thought in his heart, refreshed his cognition of the hearts of the people of this era, but also more directly and realistically The residual influence of the elder system was perfectly resolved, and he did not need to worry about the situation of growing his relatives in the future.

And after solving the affairs of the Li family, who among the rest of the families can be worthy of his passivity?

In this way, in terms of thinking, including the distribution of power, he no longer has any baggage, and the rest is only to choose people and use them, and develop step by step, if there is no external interference -- of course, it is doomed to be impossible, but can the so-called interference really help him?

………………………………………………

P.S. This chapter is not easy to write, I thought about it for a day and a night, and deleted and changed a lot of repetitions, but some things must be clear, for the stable development in the future, some so-called political hands must be explained, such as the elder system, such as the wealthy family and the commoners, such as relatives, such as the inheritance of the royal family......

I hope it can be recognized by book friends, thank you!
