Chapter 312: A Coincidental Encounter
The conversation was hot at the wine table.
The topic now has been thoroughly talked about the beggars.
Yue Kang, the leader of the beggar gang, kept smiling without saying a word, sipped his wine lightly, and looked at the three of them as if he was an outsider.
"Brother Yue, why don't you say anything about the beggars? What do you think of the existence of the beggars, and do you think it will pose a threat to the dynasty in the future? Fan Xuguang saw that Yue Kang had not spoken, so he asked, I don't know when, Fan Xuguang felt that the young man in front of him could solve all the problems, and his question was actually a question that he had been confused in his heart for a long time.
If Yue Kang knew that he was the identity of the king, he would inevitably have scruples in his heart, and now he asked as a friend and brother, he might be able to get a surprise effect, which is also the reason why he often goes out on patrol privately, because there are few people who tell him the truth in the palace, they are all blind flattery, and they are all good words, so how many kings have been deceived like fools.
Tong Lao and Qi Guodong also looked at Yue Kang together, as if waiting for his answer.
Yue Kang said with a smile: "Actually, this question is the simplest, and there is no simpler question. Yue Kang raised his wine glass with a mysterious face, "Why do you bother about this issue, come, let's drink." ”
After Yue Kang finished speaking, he drank it all.
Yue Kang's words made the three of them puzzled, confused, and surprised that Yue Kang had a countermeasure, so they picked up their wine glasses and kept thinking in their minds while drinking.
"Simple? Brother Yue's words are a little lighthearted! The beggar gang is known as the largest gang in the world, with a large number of people, and the total number of people is better than the army, if one day they have the intention of rebellion, the dynasty will definitely face a crisis, although they are only some of the composition of the food, but no matter how strong the army is, it can not prepare the number of the beggar gang. ”
"I don't think any king can condone a force that threatens him! But if it is to suppress the war, it doesn't seem to be a wise move. ”
Fan Xuguang stood in the position of a bystander and said what was in his heart.
Tong Lao and Qi Guodong also echoed Fan Xuguang's opinion, the matter of the beggar gang is indeed difficult to solve.
Yue Kang kept smiling, listened to the words of the last three, and said slowly: "Brother Fan, let me ask you, give you two choices, the first is to make you a gentleman, and the second is to make you a villain, which one will you choose?" ”
The three of them were very puzzled, such a simple question still needs to be asked, and a fool knows how to choose a gentleman.
Fan Xuguang didn't understand the meaning of Yue Kang's words, frowned, and asked, "Brother Yue, it seems that there is something in the words!" I believe that as long as you are not a fool, you will choose to be a gentleman, who would want to be a villain who is scolded by others. ”
"That's it, Brother Tong and Brother Qi think the same way!" Yue Kang asked Tong Lao and Qi Guodong again.
Tong Lao and Qi Guodong nodded in acquiescence.
Then Yue Kang said solemnly: "Then if I give you another choice, first, let you be a beggar begging on the street all day long, homeless, and second, let you be a person who has no worries about food and clothing, has land, and has a family, it seems that no one wants to choose to be a beggar!" In this way, is the problem just discussed easily solved? ”
The three of them were shocked when they heard this, and they seemed to have caught something at the same time.
Then Fan Xuguang laughed happily, he hadn't laughed like this for a long time, he couldn't help the excitement in his heart, "I seem to understand what Brother Yue meant, haha, it's really a word to wake up the dreamer!" ”
After Tong Lao and Qi Guodong thought about it for a while, the two of them laughed with joy at the same time, Yue Kang's meaning was very clear, they were not stupid people, of course they could understand quickly.
The three of them realized in their hearts that they seemed to have seen a bright avenue ahead, and they were extremely excited in their hearts.
"That's right! Guotai and the people are safe, the people's livelihood lives and works in peace and contentment, food and clothing are worry-free, who would want to be a beggar, haha, Brother Yue, listen to your words today, such as Daigo empowerment, the mouth suddenly opened, I am so happy, I am so happy, I am so happy, come, Brother Yue, I want to have three toasts with you. ”
Fan Xuguang laughed heartily, there was a problem in his heart that could not be solved for a long time, but it was solved by Yue Kang's words, he was in a good mood, and his heart suddenly opened up a lot, yes, as long as the dynasty is prosperous and the country and the people are safe, who will be a beggar and a beggar gang at that time, it seems that there is no need to suppress, no crusade can be completely disintegrated, there is no need to use a soldier at all, he is really stupid, why didn't he think of this problem before!
"Brother Fan, look at your happy appearance, as if you are the emperor, these are the things that the king cares about, and we can't speak." Yue Kang said.
Tong Lao and Qi Guodong looked at Yue Kang and wanted to say to Yue Kang, Little Brother Yue, the person in front of you is the true dragon emperor, the king of the Tianqian Dynasty! Do you know how much of a problem the emperor solved by what you just said?
"Hehe, yes, too." Fan Xuguang smiled and said, he didn't need to say that he was the emperor now, he still liked Yue Kang's unrestrained appearance in front of him, and he had a feeling of being a good brother, he was afraid that after saying that he was the emperor, he would break the relationship that originally belonged to the two.
Yue Kang and the three of them drank three glasses of wine in a row and felt very happy today, he and Fan Xuguang could talk very well, and both of them seemed to have the feeling of knowing each other and hating each other.
Of course, Yue Kang noticed a detail at the wine table, that is, Tong Lao and Qi Guodong have been talking cautiously, not as unscrupulous as usual, which makes Yue Kang very puzzled, he can also see that the two of them are respectful to Fan Xuguang, when they usually speak, the two of them rarely rush in front of Fan Xuguang, only after Fan Xuguang finished speaking, the two of them will interject two sentences from time to time.
Yue Kang couldn't help but guess the identity of Fan Xuguang, where did this Fan Gongzi come from, it can be seen from Qi Guodong and Tong Lao's respectful looks to him that this person is by no means ordinary, although Yue Kang still doesn't know what Tong Lao does, but the person who can make the prefect respect him must also have a certain background!
A Hangzhou prefect must be respectful to people, you must know that the prefect is an orthodox four-grade official, is the other party's official position greater than him, can't! Yue Kang immediately denied this idea, the other party could not be an official older than the prefect at such a young age.
Just now, Yue Kang undoubtedly heard that this Fan Gongzi was going to return to Beijing tomorrow, Yue Kang couldn't help but guess that the other party must be the son of a certain official in the capital, yes, it should be like this.
Alas, I want to do so much to do, after drinking this wine, I will go back to Beijing, I don't know if there is a chance to meet in the future, it seems that I guess the identity of others, there is not much meaning, in short, I know that the other party has no ill will towards me, it seems that I can still be called brothers and friends.
Yue Kang slipped through a series of thoughts in his heart, and then he was relieved, yes, it was a friend or a brother, and it was estimated that people who concealed their identities also had other people's hardships, so why should he guess.
Tong Lao and Qi Guodong looked at Yue Kang and Fan Xuguang as if they were good brothers, chatting energetically, they were also happy in their hearts, you must know that the emperor has not appreciated a person like this for a long time, it seems that it is really a wise move to introduce Yue Xiaobrother to the emperor.
The four people at the wine table were in a good mood, a lot of wine on the table was drunk, people were in good spirits on happy occasions, this sentence was not bad at all, Fan Xuguang had never drunk so much wine at once, and now he didn't know why he was not a little drunk after drinking for so long.
"Brother Yue, what do you think about governing the country?"
Fan Xuguang suddenly asked, his words with the meaning of asking for advice, it seemed that a student asked the teacher a question, at this time he sincerely felt that Yue Kang was knowledgeable and unfathomable, and he couldn't help but ask about state affairs, if Yue Kang could put forward a few good opinions, it seemed that he could eliminate a lot of troubles for himself.
"That's not good! Brother Fan, let's not discuss national political affairs, and if you talk about political affairs in vain, you will be killed. ”
Yue Kang said slowly.
"Little Brother Yue, it's okay, now there are only four of us in the house, we are just talking about it a little, and the matter will not be spread." Tong Lao interjected.
"Yes! Everyone is their own person, just a simple discussion, even if it is known, it is nothing. Of course, Qi Guodong also understood what Fan Xuguang meant by asking Yue Kang about these things, and he also wanted to hear if Yue Kang had any unique opinions.
"Brother Yue, if someone provokes the emperor's authority and attempts to rebel, what should those people do? I would like to add that those people are all senior and prestigious people, if they are killed, it will inevitably cause chaos, the people will call for cruelty, if they do not kill but lose the royal prestige, Brother Yue, if you are the current emperor, what will you do with this matter? ”
Fan Xuguang asked, this question also puzzled him.
Yue Kang shook his head and chuckled and said, "Brother Fan, you really lifted me, how can I know how to deal with these things, but let's do it!" I have always felt that in the so-called governance of the country, those who are virtuous will govern the country with tolerant laws, and those who are inferior can only use harsh methods. ”
"People are frightened when they see a fierce fire, so few people are burned to death, people like to play in calm streams, but they are often drowned, so it is more difficult to govern the country by a tolerant method, and if the administration is too lenient, the people are easy to be contemptuous, and then they must be corrected with harsh laws, and if they are too harsh, the people may become cruel, and they must be influenced by lenient decrees."
"Use tolerance to reconcile cruelty, use severity to reconcile contempt, in order to achieve personnel accessibility, political harmony, I feel that as a king of a country, you must be able to see what ordinary people can't see, can decide what ordinary people can't decide, avoid possible disasters, obtain possible benefits, achieve the name of the ages, and create immortal feats, this is the true wisdom of the wise."
Yue Kang said what he thought in his heart, and now there are no outsiders here, and Yue Kang didn't say bad things about the country, so when he spoke, he was unscrupulous, he paused and then said: "As for the example that Brother Fan gave just now, in my opinion, whether to kill or not depends on the comparison between the benefits and the disaster, and if the killing causes unnecessary disasters, the gains outweigh the losses. ”
After Yue Kang finished speaking, the three people at the same table frowned deeply, thinking about what Yue Kang said, although the meaning of Yue Kang's words was not too obvious, but after a little thought, the three of them seemed to have understood something.
After the three of them thought about Yue Kang's words repeatedly, they all wanted to see Yue Kang again, but they didn't expect Yue Kang to understand the governing of the country so thoroughly, which really made them admire.
Fan Xuguang listened to Hou Yuekang's words, and made a decision in his heart, and he did not discuss this issue deeply, so Tong Lao proposed to enforce the alcohol order.
He made this suggestion, and Yue Kang and the others readily agreed.
Then the sound of composing poems and reciting the right words sounded on the wine table, and there was a chorus of joy.
Yue Kang shocked the three of them again with a song "Will Enter the Wine", and they all admired the good poems and good poems, and the three people who admired them threw themselves to the ground.
The sun is gradually turning west, and the banquet has also begun.
Yue Kang rested a little in Tong's home, looked at the sky, and proposed to leave.
Tong Lao asked him if he was drunk, Yue Kang shook his head and said that it was okay, he was indeed drunk now, but his mind was still very clear, he knew that Nangong Linlin, Bai Miaodan, and Ping'er were still waiting for him to pick them up in the academy, so it was inconvenient to stay.
Tong Lao, Qi Guodong, and Fan Xuguang sent Yue Kang to the gate together.
Yue Kang refused Tong Lao's kindness and did not let Tong Lao send someone to send him, after saying goodbye to the three of them, with a wave of the horsewhip, Yue Kang's carriage gradually left, knowing that Yue Kang's carriage disappeared into the streets, the three of them returned to Tong Lao's home.
Back at Tong's home, Tong Lao couldn't help but ask Fan Xuguang, "Your Majesty, how do you feel about Yue Kang?" ”
Fan Xuguang smiled slightly and said four words, "unfathomable"
Tong Lao and Qi Guodong both nodded in agreement
It's so comfortable
Yue Kang leaned on the carriage, the carriage drove slowly on the road, he was busy during this time, it seemed that he had not drunk so much for a long time.
It's not yet time for the academy to end school, Yue Kang estimates that according to his own speed, he can just rush back before the academy ends, and he can't help but think of the intimate scene with Nangong Linlin last night.
Thinking of Nangong Linlin's little tongue sliding in his mouth, imagining Nangong Linlin's soft and smooth body, Yue Kang was like a dream, feeling so unreal, although Yue Kang did not insist on Nangong Linlin's body last night, but Yue Kang clearly knew that if he insisted, Nangong Linlin would definitely obey him.
But Yue Kang didn't want to do that, although it was very exciting to fight in the field, but Yue Kang didn't want to lose the first time of a girl in that environment, although Nangong Linlin always played with herself before, and she wanted to get angry, but things really came to that point, and Yue Kang was a little unbearable.
Yue Kang does not deny that Nangong Linlin's amorous woman is very liked, he is a man with normal emotions and six desires, and it is to pretend to be high and say that he doesn't like it, but Yue Kang used to consider that he was a family person, and the idea in his heart was killed in the cradle as soon as it germinated.
I am not a peerless little white-faced person, can I take a fancy to myself, I better protect my wife! Yue Kang once warned himself like this, but who would have thought that Nangong Linlin already liked him.
Yue Kang sat in the carriage and couldn't help but reach out and touch his face, thinking very stinkingly, am I really handsome? Yue Kang thought about it and smiled, but then he thought of Bai Miaoxi, and immediately felt that his scalp was numb, how to tell Miaoxi about this! Will she blame herself?
Yue Kang drove the carriage, sometimes smirking, sometimes scratching his head, sometimes his face was full of sorrow, and passers-by thought that Yue Kang was a psychopath.
Just as Yue Kang was thinking, a beautiful shadow not far in front attracted Yue Kang's attention, Yue Kang thought that he had drunk too much, Yue Kang rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then his face was happy, and he rushed over with a whip.
"Miss Tong, what's wrong with me, you tell me, I will change, I have been changing for you, why don't you accept me." A man dressed in a gorgeous dress, with a delicate face and a somewhat handsome appearance, stopped in front of a woman in pink clothes, the woman's long willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, Qiong's nose and small mouth, and a small black mole embellishment on her pointed chin made her beauty a kind of different, the woman's figure was graceful, graceful and colorful, standing there with a frosty face, a pair of bright eyes showed anger at this time, she was clasped with her hands, she tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart, and said in a cold voice: "You are good anywhere, you don't have to change for me, you are not the man I want, Let's go! ”
"Miss Tong, do you know that I can't eat and sleep every day when I think about it, life is bitter and tasteless, I swear that I must marry you in this life, since I saw you for the first time, I have been completely confused by your beauty, my heart can no longer accommodate other women, as long as you can promise to marry me, you can let me do anything." The man was slightly weeping and looked heartbroken.
Tong Meilan felt a wave of nausea inexplicably after hearing those words, "Shi Gongzi, I've told you a hundred times, it's impossible, please stop pestering me in the future, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." ”
At this time, Tong Meilan was extremely annoyed, she couldn't wait to kick the stone forest in front of her away, and she was so angry in her heart! The last time I went out with my friends, Shi Lin was among them that day, Shi Lin was an authentic nerd, and he had a good set of poetry pairs, and he won the name of Hangzhou's eight talents a long time ago.
I saw this person for the first time that day, the first impression was not bad, gentle and elegant, handsome and handsome, there were six or seven people who went out to play, all of them were friends of friends, and soon everyone knew each other, so they took a boat to wander in the river, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the lake, and suddenly someone arose, and proposed that each person write a poem to help the fun.
This proposal seems to have no reason to refuse, everyone has made a poem, and when it is the turn of Shi Lin to compose a poem, Shi Lin is very modest to make a good poem, amazed a few people who played together, Tong Meilan itself has a deep study of talent, I feel that Shi Lin's poems are incomparably classic, and I can't help but praise a sentence.
But who would have thought that his words of praise that day completely made Shi Lin think that he had a good impression of him, so Shi Lin was proud at the same time, thinking of a way to get close to him, Tong Meilan quickly saw Shi Lin's affectionate eyes, and suddenly felt disgusted.
