Chapter 4 Trade-offs (8b)
This disciple was very good, although his family background was poor. But he is studious, calm, and can keep calm when things happen. The only drawback is that it is too pure, and this kind of character is the best in the folk. Put it in officialdom, but it is a fatal flaw. Master Yang turned his back to Li Xu and quietly waited for the last pain to come. After the pain, both the master and the apprentice were perfect. He finished the last part of his life without regrets, and Xuzi also made up for the shortcomings of his character.
This is the best solution that Yang Fuzi came up with. The eldest husband must know how to make trade-offs, give up a useless bad old man, in exchange for a lifetime of great achievements, and at the same time eliminate the hidden dangers implicated by the teacher in the invisible, this is what the wise man does.
The expected knife didn't come down.
Li Xu slowly stepped forward and gently grabbed Master Yang's arm. Just as many years ago, he begged his master to pick up a word for him, and sincerely pleaded: "Teacher! The voice in his ears was not loud, but it was very clear, "Since Yang Xuan feels that the general trend has gone, why should the master be martyred for him." I am now the commander of the Xiongwu Battalion, as long as the Master surrenders, I should be able to keep you safe!" ”
"How much do you know about the Holy One today?" Master Yang didn't look back, turned his back to Li Xu and asked.
"Today's saint, in the eyes of his disciples, is a good person who attaches great importance to love and righteousness!" Li Xu paused for a moment and replied in a muttered manner. Yang Guang's image has been changing in his heart over the years. When he felt the persecution of the government in Yi County, Xuzi felt that Yang Guang was a faint monarch and cruel and unkind. When he was inspected on the banks of the Liao River and was publicly awarded the post of lieutenant, Xu Zi felt that Yang Guang was an ambitious emperor, but he was too impulsive and sometimes unreasonable. Later, when he saw Yang Guang crying for General Mai, Xuzi felt that he was affectionate and righteous, and he was a good man who valued feelings and kept his promises. Then he was given a gold medal of exoneration, and Yang Guang's image became more benevolent and wise. But on the way to Liyang for thousands of miles, looking at the crops that no one harvested for thousands of miles, Xu Zi deeply felt the disasters brought to the people by the uncontrollable Tianwei while appreciating the immensity of the emperor's grace.
In front of the teacher, he didn't dare to raise his conscience to sing praises for Yang Guang. But he also doesn't want to treat Yang Guang as a faint gentleman anymore. Therefore, I had to choose the most human side of Yang Guang to answer the teacher's questions.
"Yes, he attaches great importance to those who obey him, but he has always killed those who offend him. Zhong Jian, you still have too little experience in officialdom! Master Yang sighed and continued: "I had a relationship with him many years ago, and I know his temperament well. Besides, Yang Xuangan is my young master, and his father is kind to me, and I can't bear it! ”
"But Yang Xuan clearly doesn't reuse his teacher, and at this moment he is gone!" Li Xu struggled to think about his words. He was not a very eloquent person, and before he was in a hurry, his words of persuasion were even more dry.
"The Master's ability to go out of the mountain for him is already a reward for the old master. He behaved at a loss, and it was clear that he was not a person to assist. Therefore, the Master forsaken him, and no one can say that the Master did something wrong! Zhang Xiu's eloquence was far better than Li Xu's, and he smiled and helped on the side.
"Since the old man went out of the mountain to assist him, no matter what the result is, he has to bear it, and there is nothing to abandon or not give up. Move quickly, don't let the old man lose his courage! Master Yang waved his hand and interrupted Zhang Xiu's advice.
The day was not too hot, but Li Xu had beads of sweat rolling on his forehead, and he dragged his tired body out of the city, the main purpose was to find a way out for his teacher, how could he pull out a knife and kill him? After thinking about it again and again, he turned his heart sideways and said in a low voice: "If the master is not willing to descend, he can live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. As long as you don't go back to Yang Xuangan, our master and apprentice will never see each other in front of the battle again. ”
"Secluded in the mountains and forests, you want to let me go?" Master Yang's body trembled suddenly, turned around, and asked in surprise. He had been fighting in the Great Sui Army for many years, and he knew very well what it was to secretly release the enemy generals in front of the two armies, and his disciples were willing to take this risk for themselves, which both moved him and felt disappointed.
"The disciple has a gold medal for avoiding death, he should be fine!" Li Xu swallowed and foamed at the mouth and responded with a wry smile. "As for him," he pointed at Zhang Xiu, "he is my pro-soldier captain, and if he is the commander, he has to obey!" ”
"Are you really going to let me go?" As if he had never known Xuzi, Master Yang looked his disciple up and down again, his eyes full of confusion.
"Hmm!" Li Xu nodded firmly. He pulled an empty saddle horse from his own soldiers, pulled over the mount that had bound Master Yang just now, and handed it over to the old man.
"You, what a disappointment for the teacher!" Master Yang suddenly became angry, and anger burned his eyes. "Do you know what you're doing? Do you know if the average person has to fight on the tip of the knife from a small soldier to a general! Do you know that if this is discovered, your future will be ruined, and you will never have a chance to be promoted again? He asked loudly, not intending to appreciate it at all.
It is not a misdemeanor to let the enemy go privately, even if Xuzi has a gold medal to avoid death, he is caught by someone with a heart, and his life and future will be ruined. He knows how important the goal of making contributions is in life for a child like Li Xu, who was born in a small family. Many families would rather eat bran vegetables than send their children to the county to learn literacy, hoping that they will one day get ahead and make their parents and friends feel honored. And Xuzi gave up everything for the sake of himself, an old man who was dying. "He is heavy on this affection, and the old man can't afford it!" Master Yang shouted in his heart, hoping that his scolding would make his disciples distinguish right from wrong
Xuzi looked at him firmly, motionless. After the two confronted each other for a long time, Master Yang suddenly calmed down and let out a long sigh: "That's it, you will suffer a loss in this life, and you are destined to suffer from this uprightness and generosity." If you don't go through a few tribulations, you won't be able to change this temperament. As a teacher, I have accepted your heart and made your reputation complete! ”
After saying that, he turned over and got on his horse, and galloped northwest without turning his head.
"Zhong Jian, are you going to let him go like this?" Zhang Xiu hurriedly pulled Li Xu hard and reminded in a low voice.
"He is our mentor after all!" Li Xu shook his head and sighed. watched Master Yang's back disappear in the night, and refused to explain a word more.
"But, how can we explain to the Yuwen Prison Army!" Zhang Xiu stomped her feet hatefully, scratching her ears and cheeks in a hurry. After a while, he finally came up with an idea: "Forget it, just say that he is not honest halfway, and he was slashed by you!" He glared at Li Xu again, turned his head and rushed to a few of his own soldiers, telling them to keep their mouths shut.
"It's impossible to keep this secret!" Xuzi looked at Zhang Xiu busy, and shook his head with a wry smile. It was a difficult choice to make, and he did it on the spur of the moment, but afterwards he didn't feel anything to regret.
"A teacher for one day, a teacher for life. No matter whether you are a business or a thief in the future, the master will eventually be open to you! "The master did not abandon him because he gave up school and started business that day, and when we meet again today, he does not dare to let down the master because he is a thief. It's just a reason, and you don't need to explain it to others, and even if you do, no one around you may be able to understand it.
After staring at the direction where Yang Fuzi disappeared for a moment, Xu Zifei got on his horse and ran towards Liyang with his own soldiers.
The sound of horses' hooves faded away, and the night was as dark as ink.
In the dark, Master Yang jumped off his horse and slowly walked towards Yongji Canal.
All rivers in the world have the same origin, and the end of this river should be connected to the Miluo River.
