Chapter 313 to see what kind of attitude he has

Fang Xie glanced at the black boy Yan Mad before getting into the carriage, but didn't ask anything. But Yan Mad obviously understood the meaning in Fang Jie's eyes, so he shook his head. After Chen Hum and Chen Ha came back, they said that they didn't eat the buns because they were filled with fish, and the most disgusting thing about the two of them so far was fish.

Fang Xie naturally didn't believe that there were any fish buns, so he knew that something must be wrong.

The black boy didn't say it now, and Fang Xie didn't plan to force him.

He bowed slightly, then turned his head and walked to the back of the line to board Huai Qiugong's carriage.

"Today, we can cross Mangdang Mountain, and we can reach the Yangtze River ferry before dark. Along the way, thanks to the teachings of Nostalgia, I have learned many things that I have never heard of before. It's just that I didn't expect this way to go so fast, and I will be separated in a flash. ”

Huai Qiugong said with a smile: "There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, and no matter how long you get along, there will be a day of separation." When I get to the Yangtze River ferry, I will go down the river to the east, and you will go west against the river, and I am afraid that you and I will never have the opportunity to meet again after this farewell. Awakening...... It's not easy for you to listen patiently to my bad old man's nonsense on the way, and you don't get bored. I know that young people don't like to talk to old men like me, because you will think that what I say is too pedantic and smelly. ”

Fang Xie shook his head: "Everyone has a young age, but you have already walked and I have just arrived." If I use the place I have only walked to ridicule the place you have already walked, it is the most ignorant idiot. ”

Huaiqiu said fairly: "You can understand this, it's good." But most of the young people in the world don't understand this, and they think that the old people are just decaying wood, and there is no merit at all. ”

Fang explained: "If you don't listen to the advice of the old man, the young man will decay faster." ”

Huai Qiugong smiled and said, "Most young people will find it very boring to talk to us together. And I'm a person who likes to pretend to be tall, so I don't bother to do any hypocritical things to promote young people. It's just that you don't look down on me, I don't look down on you, so you just don't touch the other party's dislike. You're different from most people, but this sentence has made me like since I was young. ”

"That's right......"

He breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the window and said in a calm tone: "I remember when I was young, I also looked at my father unpleasantly...... I always felt that what he said was useless, that he was too honest and wooden, and that every word he said was meaningless. At that time, I always felt that I was right, and he ...... It's just a person who can only make tofu and doesn't know anything else, and it's useless. ”

"At this age, I suddenly realized that many of the things I am saying now are actually the same things he used to say. He was stupid and wooden, but he was not without wisdom. Maybe it was the same when he was young, he couldn't get used to the constraints of the old man and couldn't listen to the old man's education. ”

Fang Xie nodded: "A large part of the so-called wisdom is actually obtained through accumulation. The path taken by young people may just be repeating the frivolity of their fathers' youth. ”

"You're an orphan."

Huai Qiugong looked at Fang Xie and said, "The character of orphans is generally a little withdrawn, but you are different. No one has beaten you, scolded you, restrained you when you were a child, but you know that those are not the prejudices of the old people against you. ”

"Maybe it's because no one restrains me...... That's why I understand it before anyone else. ”

Fang Xie smiled: "Huai Lao has a lot of emotions today. ”

"It's because I find that you're getting more and more likable, and you're about to part a little reluctantly."

Huai Qiugong smiled and said, "When you first arrived in Chang'an City, I didn't have you in my eyes at all. Even when you present arithmetic and pinyin annotation in front of Your Majesty, I don't think you are a genius. In just over a year, you've climbed to where you are now, and I've always thought it was a matter of luck...... But the month I spent with you made me suddenly understand a truth. ”

"People...... In fact, where is there a success that has always relied on luck? And even if there were, it belonged to those who were more prepared. ”

He glanced at Fang Jie, and his eyes were full of appreciation: "During these days, I have said many things, at first I told you these things because of His Majesty's explanation, but later, I hope to tell you more and more." If you succeed now, you will succeed in the future, and I know that the experience of Lu Dao may not be of much help to you, but it may also help you avoid some detours. ”

"Leaving Chang'an and leaving the imperial court......"

Huai Qiugong shook his head: "I had this idea ten years ago, when His Majesty had just ascended the throne. But His Majesty couldn't do it, so I stayed. Later, when I thought about it, it was actually just that I was greedy for power and reluctant to let go of some things, and the older people get, the more greedy they are. I thought that I could serve the Yang family for a few more years to repay the appreciation of Emperor Zhenzong back then. used this excuse to keep himself in his official position, and he was still complacent. ”

"Ridiculous ......"

Fang explained: "Nostalgic old, there is a sentence I don't know whether to say or not. ”

"You say"

"Maybe it will take a long time for you to get used to it when you get back home. There is no court, only the countryside, no colleagues, only the villagers, and no glory, only plain...... You will feel idle and bored. Because I know that you are not old yet. ”

"Ha Lu Ha ......"

Huai Qiugong couldn't help laughing: "The unwillingness in my words was still heard by you, you little guy is as cunning as a fox." ”

He paused for a moment, and suddenly said in a somewhat strange tone: "But it's good to retire now, maybe you can live a few years in peace before you die." ”

Hearing this, Fang Jie's heart suddenly moved.

……

……

The meaning of Huaiqiu's words seems to be to say that there are no years of peace in this world. With his status and status, how could he say such a thing? Even though he had already returned home, Fang Xie was still surprised to say such words from his mouth.

"Nostalgia...... I don't understand what you mean. ”

Huaiqiu Gong lowered the curtains of the car and no longer looked at the beautiful scenery along the way: "If you don't understand, you don't understand, you just need to do your own thing." No matter how the world is, it is still this world. ”

Fang Xie was even more surprised by this.

Huai Qiugong didn't seem to want to continue on this topic, he was silent for a while and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, the General Lu who was crippled by you next to Ye Jinnan is already buried under the loess at this time, right?" ”

Fang Xie was slightly stunned, and did not deny: "Yes"

"I know that you will start with him."

Huaiqiu said fairly: "If you want to check Luo Yao, the one surnamed Lu is a good candidate." And you have a personal vendetta with him, so it's not hard to guess that you killed him. With the way you do things, it's strange if you don't take advantage of this talent. You deliberately didn't even look at that person along the way, you deliberately made him resentful, right? He became more and more uncomfortable, and had to leave the team first. And you, just waiting for him to leave. ”

Fang Xie smiled and said, "Fortunately, you are not an official in the Criminal Department or Dali Temple. ”

Huai Qiugong shook his head: "It's not something difficult to guess, that Ye Jinnan is only afraid that he will regret it now." He didn't expect it at the time, but it doesn't mean he can't think of it now. When you arrived in Yongzhou, he found that the person surnamed Lu did not go back, and he immediately knew what had happened in Ludao. ”

"What does nostalgia mean, I won't have a good time in Yongzhou this time?"

Huai Qiugong was silent for a long time and then shook his head: "After all, you are a Qincha, if Luo Yao really just wants to ask His Majesty for marriage, even if you arrive in Yongzhou, even if you are not treated as a guest, you will not be embarrassed, although Luo Yao's style of acting is direct and can even be said to be ruthless, but his city government is also unfathomable, even if he knows that the surname of Lu Dao is about to die, he should not pursue anything." ”

Fang Xie couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty asked me to drag Luo Yao for half a year, which means that I will stay in Yongzhou for at least two months, how can these two months be consumed?" ”

"It's up to you."

Huaiqiu said fairly: "What I can teach you is nothing more than something in the court...... As for how you spent two months in Yongzhou, don't pretend to be pitiful in front of me, if you don't even have this ability, Your Majesty will not send you south. ”

"Nostalgia"

Fang Xie paused for a moment and suddenly asked, "Speaking of something that crosses the rules, do you think the war in the northwest can be successfully pacified?" ”

"It's not difficult to go northwest, but if you add another place...... That's hard. ”

Huai Qiugong thought for a while and asked, "I heard that you once made a plan for Your Majesty, blocking the waterways with a sailor, cutting off all the grain routes in the northwest and the mainland, and planning to seal those three rivers and mountains into a wasteland?" ”

Fang Xie nodded: "Immature thoughts, I regret it when I say it." ”

"People like you will never regret it."

Huai Qiugong smiled: "Although this strategy is not easy to implement, it is not a way for the imperial court. His Majesty wants to personally recover the three northwest provinces, and let you drag Luo Yao for half a year is also to mobilize an army to transport grain and grass. However, His Majesty's personal conquest will allow a million-strong army to empty the treasury in half a year...... Compared to the strategy you proposed to block but not fight, fighting, it seems to be more expensive. ”

"If the waterway is blocked by the powerful sailors of the imperial court, it will only take half a year, and the rebels will be forced to march eastward. Let the rebels attack once, we will block it once, kill it if we have the opportunity, and retreat if we don't have the opportunity. Although this kind of fight is a little stingy, it is beneficial to the imperial court. Give the imperial court two years to fill the treasury, train the soldiers, and then enter the army to fight it, and it should be invincible. ”

Hearing this, Fang Xie shook his head helplessly: "It seems that Your Majesty can't wait for these two years. ”

"Your Majesty, why don't you just want to fight back to the Northwest Three Provinces?"

Huai Qiugong smiled: "I have served His Majesty for more than ten years, and I know a little bit about His Majesty's temperament. His Majesty insisted on crusading against the rebellion, but in fact, he still had the idea of marching into Mengyuan. The two thousand miles of grassland in the Mandu Banner have been drawn on the territory map of the Great Sui, and will it be cut off again? ”

"Still fighting?"

Fang Xie frowned: "The treasury will support the army for half a year at most, if you use troops against Meng Yuan again...... Court...... Can you handle it? ”

When he asked this, he suddenly thought of what Huai Qiu Gong said just now, and he might not have a few more years of peace, and his heart was suddenly shocked, and faintly, he seemed to understand what Huai Qiu Gong meant.

"That's why Your Majesty hasn't fully made up your mind yet, that's why I'll send you to Yongzhou in the southwest."

Huaiqiu is fair.

Fang explained: "If there is no chaos in the southwest, Your Majesty will let go of your hands and feet to fight...... However, the fact that the southwest is not chaotic for a while does not mean that it will not be chaotic for a long time. If the imperial army is spent in the northwest for several years, the treasury is empty, the military equipment is sharply reduced, and the southwest ...... Not necessarily stable. ”

"Nostalgic, I'm afraid that I have betrayed the trust of His Majesty. If you can't find anything, won't you miss a big deal? ”

Huai Qiugong smiled and said indifferently: "Actually, it's not difficult to say, you just need to remember that people must be weak in their hearts if they want to make trouble, no matter who they are." So you can see some clues from Luo Yao's attitude towards you, if he ignores you coldly, then he is still the arrogant general. If he is warm and attentive to you...... You have to be careful. ”
