It is said that Wang Lang and Zhao Xiang came to Shiweixian together, and when they went to the private room on the second floor, they saw the innermost, and there were two big men standing at the door of a room by the window, and the two big men saw Zhao Xiang and Wang Lang bowing to Zhao Xiang first, and then one person entered the room, and the other looked at Wang Lang, as if Wang Lang was a big girl. After a while, the big man who had gone in earlier came out, followed by a middle-aged man with a somewhat white face. The middle-aged man looked at Wang Lang and said

"You are Wang Lang? Come on in. ”

Wang Lang and Zhao Xiang followed behind the middle-aged man, and Wang Lang whispered to Zhao Xiang

"Brother Xiang, your uncle's pomp is quite big. I have my father-in-law by my side. It was given by your father. ”

Although Wang Lang's voice was reduced as much as possible, the corners of the middle-aged man's mouth twitched when he walked in front. When I went inside, I saw a middle-aged man in his thirties kneeling by the window, drinking by himself. Without waiting for the father-in-law in front of him to report to Wang Lang, he stepped forward and sat down opposite the middle-aged man. picked up the bowl on the side, slapped the wine jar in his arms, poured a bowl for himself, and poured a bowl for the middle-aged man opposite.

"Goodong" and drink it in one gulp.

Then carefully looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, the middle-aged man was honestly very handsome. The figure is burly, the sword eyebrows are starry-eyed, not angry and self-imposing, and the majesty of a perennial superior is vividly expressed. And this middle-aged man is now looking at Wang Lang in surprise. And when he saw Zhao Xiang and the father-in-law in this process, cold sweat instantly soaked their backs.

The middle-aged man opposite Wang Lang suddenly laughed and beckoned to Zhao Xiang after a while, but the father-in-law automatically retreated. Zhao Xiang sat beside Wang Lang with his head down, and the middle-aged man spoke

"You are the second son of the Wang family. Listening to your lyrics yesterday was really exciting. ”

Wang Lang said with a smile

"That, uncle, you are Brother Xiang's uncle, then I will follow him to call you uncle."

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile

"Okay."

Wang Lang put the two catties of cooked beef in his hand on the table. Pick up a piece and eat it

"Uncle, you called me here today just for yesterday's incident? The little nephew would like to thank my uncle for his compliment in front of His Majesty today. ”

The middle-aged man looked at Wang Lang's appearance and said

"I called you here today just to get to know you and see what is so good about Prime Minister Wang's second son. Now I look at it and really show talent. ”

Wang Lang pouted disdainfully and said

"Uncle, let's stop talking about these nonsense, just say what is the matter with me. After saying that, let's drink wine and eat meat, this little nephew has bought the wine and meat, so it can't be wasted. ”

The middle-aged man made Wang Lang stunned again, and Zhao Xiang next to Wang Lang now wanted to die. Heartway

"How did I come across such a killer. Isn't that driving me to death? ”

The middle-aged man didn't slow down for a long time, how many years, no one has spoken to him like this. The middle-aged man organized his language and said

"Actually, I came here today to ask you what you think of the Hu people? Didn't you boys discuss it yesterday? ”

Wang Lang suddenly realized. Said slowly

"If you want to hit Hu Ren, there are only two ways."

The middle-aged man asked with interest

"What are the two ways?"

Wang Shuo said

"The first is to suppress by force."

The middle-aged man thought for a moment and said

"What is force suppression?"

Wang Lang thought for a while and said

"Suppression by force refers to the force that is already right, instantly defeating the opponent, so that the opponent has no power to fight back."

The middle-aged man frowned and thought for a while and said

"What about the second one?"

Wang Lang continued

"The second is economic blockade and cultural aggression."

Where has this middle-aged man heard about economic blockade and cultural aggression, Wang Lang patted his head and said embarrassedly

"Uncle, listen to me, this economic blockade refers to the things of our dynasty, such as salt, tea and other daily necessities urgently needed by the Hu people, iron, weapons, farm tools and other production materials. All are out of sale. Strictly people trade privately. Suppress them in our strengths. For example, I sold fine silks, gold and silver vessels, at high prices to the chiefs of their tribes, the chiefs. As the saying goes, it's easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it's hard to go from luxury to thrift. ”

Middle-aged people have a happy day, this kid is really poisonous, but this is also a way. It doesn't cost a single soldier. So the middle-aged man then asked

"So what is cultural aggression?"

Wang Lang said with a smile

"Uncle, culture is the book we read. Hasn't our dynasty always had a state that advocates etiquette and is close to Hu? ”

The middle-aged man nodded and didn't speak, and Wang Lang continued

"You, just persuade Your Majesty and promise those ministers."

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, his face was a little unsightly, and he was about to speak, but Wang Lang spoke again

"Uncle, listen to me first. O you, persuade Your Majesty, let Your Majesty choose one of the daughters of those ministers who advocate peace as a goddaughter, and marry her to the Hu people. ”

Zhao Xiang was stunned, and the middle-aged man was also stunned. Then the three of them laughed and said nothing. Wang Lang continued

"That's not enough, isn't the minister's daughter married? It's not good for a father to let his daughter suffer. You persuade Your Majesty again to make that minister the envoy of the Central Plains cultural dissemination, and let him take the Confucian classics of our dynasty to teach the Hu people. Go and tell them the way of Confucius and Mencius, the state of etiquette. ”

The middle-aged man said with a smile after listening to Wang Lang's words

"You kid, it's so poisonous. It's as if you have a grudge against the Hu people. You're going to die. ”

Wang Lang pouted indifferently and said

"It's not that there is a grudge, it's that the little nephew sees the scars on his grandfather's body. I heard my grandfather tell me about refugees displaced by the war. Since wars cannot be resolved peacefully, wars should be stopped. Destroy all enemies around me. If we want to make my people happy, we can only sacrifice our enemies. ”

The middle-aged man said with a sigh

"Is there no way to resolve it peacefully?"

Wang Lang was silent for a moment and said

"If the Confucian classics and the way of Confucius and Mencius can resolve the war, the little nephew doesn't mind sending a few great Confucians to influence the Hu people."

The middle-aged man nodded and didn't say anything after hearing this, and the room was instantly quiet. The middle-aged man looked at Wang Lang and asked

"Does the virtuous nephew have a marriage contract?"

Wang Lang was stunned and said

"No, the little nephew now wants to make contributions first and then get married."

The middle-aged man said with a smile

"Then I'll persuade my royal brother to marry the princess to you, okay?"

When Wang Lang heard this, his head shook like a rattle. Said

"Don't, don't."

The middle-aged man asked with a not very good face

"What? Isn't the princess worthy of you? ”

Wang Lang said

"No, no, uncle, princess, that's you. What about the little nephew? Even if he becomes an official, he is still a minister. The little nephew always feels inferior. Besides, when the princess entered my house, my parents, eldest brother, and sister-in-law had to kneel down for her. Don't do it, don't do it. The little nephew might as well find an ordinary woman. Honor your parents. ”

Hearing Wang Lang say this, the middle-aged man's face was not ugly and said

"What if the princess was just like a commoner?"

Wang Lang thought for a while and said

"Let's talk about it."
