Chapter 108: Sunrise and Sunset

"Big brother, you are naturally not such a person. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Shi Ximing heard this, and his agitated mood finally calmed down a little, and he forced a smile, "It's that I want to fork in, I actually think about you like this, it's really damned." "What kind of person the eldest brother is, he knows best, if the eldest brother had a little bit of power, he would not have been taken advantage of by the villain, and he would have fallen apart, and now he is shrinking in the Jiangdong area. If the eldest brother hadn't left since he came to Jiangdong and settled down, he would never have taken over today's things. If the eldest brother really likes the throne...... Maybe it's a good thing.

"Ping Taihu Lake, guard the waterway, establish prestige, develop shops, and contact the government......" Xu Gu took Shi Ximing's hand and sat down, "A few years ago, we just settled in Jiangdong, and I left. ”

Although he was basically able to survive in Jiangdong, Xu Gu left a book and ran away quietly, although Shi Ximing's status was not low and his ability was outstanding, but unfortunately he was still young, and his prestige and qualifications were still worse than Xu Gu's, but fortunately, most of these people at that time were diehards of Xu Gu's family, so there was no big mess, but the twists and turns were not small. Now that he heard Xu Gu's words and knew that his eldest brother had been paying attention to him, he felt that the many grievances and difficulties he had suffered in the past few years were worth it. He had a lot of things to say to Xu Gu in his heart, such as how he used tactics to recover the bandits in Taihu Lake, how he traveled 600 miles a day alone and killed Wang Xing, who did all kinds of evil, and how he set up with those chambers of commerce and giant businessmen to buy industries...... A lot of words, but he suddenly couldn't say a word, obviously ten years ago, he shot a wild goose in the wild, he would also be busy showing it to his eldest brother, hoping to get some praise, and now...... He just asked with red eyes and in an almost pleading tone, "Big brother...... For our sake, you really can't stay? ”

"I'm sorry." Xu Gu turned his head and wiped his eyes, "I'...... I'm sorry for you. ”

Shi Ximing laughed miserably: "That's obviously not your fault!" He stood up abruptly and slammed the porcelain cup in his hand to the ground, and with a crisp sound, the porcelain cup fell to pieces. I picked up my sword and went north and killed that man, big brother, would you like to come back? ”

"He's a ...... after all"

"I don't have that kind of master!" Shi Ximing interrupted Xu Gu's words in a loud voice, and then, his voice lowered again, "Would you like to come back?" ”

Xu Gu didn't speak for a long time, Shi Ximing stood up, and suddenly felt the coolness of the north wind, which blew for a while, and people were about to freeze.

After a long time, Xu Gu spoke, "I'm already old. ”

"Big brother is now in his prime, how can he be old?"

Xu Gu pointed to his heart with a finger: "Here, it's already old." ”

Without waiting for Shi Ximing to speak, Xu Gu spoke again, "I have often dreamed in the past few years, and I have dreamed of many things from the past. When I was young, I wanted to help the world in need, and I walked with my sword, and I was content. Now, I'm not sure I've done the right thing all these years. Not to mention the guilt in my heart, not to mention whether everyone has a grudge against me in their hearts, I have lost the courage to move forward and sacrifice my life, how can I stay? ”

Shi Ximing slowly walked back to the table and sat down, and after a while, he spoke: "Big brother, you haven't heard from you in the past few years, no matter how you ask, I can't find out about you, two years ago, I saw a child in Yangzhou, and there were six or seven points like you in his eyebrows and demeanor, I thought you used some bone-shrinking methods......"

Xu Gu listened to Shi Ximing's tone and knew that Shi Ximing's attitude had loosened somewhat, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. showed a slight smile: "You are right, I have also seen this person." ”

How could it be such a coincidence? Shi Ximing didn't have time to react, but he heard Xu Gu say: "I'm following him now." ”

Shi Ximing was shocked, "Could it be that he is ......"

Xu Gu couldn't cry or laugh, "Where do you think of it, don't you know if I have children or not." Speaking of which, it is not impossible for me to have a little resemblance to Yangzhou Gu's family, as for the behavior, he became famous at a young age, young and old, and my experience back then is also somewhat similar, so I naturally feel more similar. ”

Shi Ximing was a little embarrassed, "Since you don't have that kind of relationship, what are you doing with him, big brother?" I've inquired about it, he's young, he's good at reading, and he's going to mix with the court in the future, and we're not all the way, not to mention a character like you, big brother, wouldn't you be wronged by following this little child? ”

Xu Gu smiled and shook his head, "There are some interesting things. And then he added, "He is also a lifesaver......

"A life-saving grace? What the hell happened, big brother, why did you get hurt so badly? Even owe a life-saving grace? Then he suddenly realized, "He is still young, and he must not have traveled around to study...... Big brother, you're in Jiangdong! I was seriously injured right now! ”

Seeing that Shi Ximing's focus completely deviated from his original intention, Xu Gu had to be comforted by a good student, and only repeatedly said that he did not leave any sequelae except for some burns on his face, and Shi Ximing calmed down.

"I didn't follow him entirely to repay the favor of saving my life." Xu Gudao, "I asked him why he wanted to participate in the imperial examination, why he wanted to be an official, and what was the meaning of officialdom. ”

Shi Ximing's face became solemn. Xu Gu said: "He said, 'There are many more things that can be done for the world by doing official functions than things that can be done by living in seclusion.'" ’”

Hearing this, Shi Ximing's face visibly gloomy, as if he suppressed a wave of anger.

"So I asked again, why is there more things that can be done for the world by being an official?"

Shi Ximing listened patiently.

"He replied, 'If you are an official in a high position, you can formulate policies that benefit the country and the people, and through top-down decrees, the people will be favored.' If he is a governor of a prefecture or county, he can also bless the people if he governs diligently during his term of office. ’”

"So I asked him again, 'The Great Song Dynasty has a lot of ills, and if you want to solve them, you must reform, like those Shang Dynasty reforms in ancient times, there is no good end. If it fails, it will be a big disaster. ’”

"How did he answer?" Shi Ximing asked.

Xu Gu smiled, "He said, 'You have to try it.'" ’”

"You have to give it a try?" Shi Ximing read it in a low voice, and his brows also stretched.

"You understand now?" Xu Gu said with a smile.
