After a while, Bi Qianniu came over to tell him that Fang Buzhen had come.

He went to the countryside with Deng She, and after he came back, the officials of Liaoyang made an appointment for a banquet, and Li Dunru was the only one missing. Fang Buzhen volunteered to urge him, and when he went to his house, he somehow found that Li Aguan was missing, and in a few words, Li Dunru had a ghost in his heart, revealing his feet.

When Fang Buzhen heard this, he was furious.

He has a strange temper, and in normal times, he can be pleasant, but when he is angry, he will not recognize his six relatives. scolded Li Dunru on the spot, scolded him incomprehensibly, kicked and beaten, and fought with him again. Poor Li Dunru has always served as a civilian, and has never experienced a battle, how can a well-deserved weak scholar be his opponent?

Fang Buzhen has seen a big scene, and he is a little good at riding and shooting, and he doesn't dare to say that his skills are exquisite, at least he is healthy. In addition, Li Dunru thought that he was at fault first, and he didn't dare to fight back at all, and he was beaten down, it wasn't that the cat scratched his face, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he was like an elephant stepping on his waist.

After beating Li Dunru, Fang Buzhen's anger did not subside, but became more and more vigorous. Although Li Dunru did not make an excuse, but this kind of thing, it is obviously impossible to shave his head and bear a hot head, Li Dunru is shameless, and Deng She is not much better. At that moment, he was furious and came to find Deng She's bad luck.

The so-called "kill a thousand enemies, self-damage 800", he and Li Dunru close combat, Li Dunru subconsciously struggled and pulled, his clothes were inevitably a little unclothed, the guards outside the courtyard gate saw his virtue, naturally refused to let him in, therefore, caused a quarrel.

Fortunately, Fang Bu really knew the severity, so he didn't scold outside the door of Deng She's mansion, and he didn't come in advance for anything, and while scolding the guards outside the mansion, he only said that he would pass it on quickly.

After listening to Bi Qianniu's words, Deng She's head became louder. He was a thief with a weak heart, and when he heard it, he expected the enemy to be like a god, and immediately guessed Fang Buzhen's intention. Hurriedly sent Li Shousheng away, walked around the room, to be honest, he really didn't dare to see Fang Buzhen, and said to Bi Qianniu: "Quickly go and invite Mr. Yao to come." ”

Bi Qianniu walked away, and Deng She stopped him: "Let Master Fang come in,...... Don't bring it in here, find a room and ask him to wait a while. ”

"Yes."

Bi Qianniu wanted to wait and leave, and Deng She called him back for the second time: "Come back,...... He said, "I have business, and I ask him not to be impatient, and not to be impatient." ”

"Yes."

Li Shousheng, Bi Qianniu and others each retreated. It's like opening a five-flavor shop, sweet and sour, spicy and salty, thinking of Fang Buzhen's signature "Wow, I'm going to spray you", Deng She didn't feel panicked; He couldn't help but be angry when he thought of Li Dunru's shameless sacrifice of his wife and the situation he found today; remembered how he was fascinated by the day before yesterday, and laughed at Li Aguan, and he couldn't help but regret it; Thinking that if this matter was to be spread, Yin Wenwu laughed shamefully, and he couldn't help but blush, ashamed.

The joy he felt when he saw Li Shousheng had long since disappeared, and since he took charge of the army, he had never had a similar misponement. A thousand thoughts came to his heart, he looked at the night, sighed, and said, "One misstep becomes a thousand hatreds." ”

The noise outside the hall was getting closer and closer, and he was afraid that Fang Buzhen would see it, so he hurriedly hid in the tent behind the hall. After thinking about it, it's not safe, after all, he is familiar with the art of war, and when he looks at it, if the hall door is lost, won't he be a turtle in an urn? Not good, not good. Thinking of this, he hurriedly jumped out of the room, blew out the candle in the hall, and in the dark, slipped to the door, listened attentively, and as soon as the wind was not right, he immediately pulled out his feet and ran out.

Fang Buzhen's loud voice came far away in the night, and he shouted, "Where is the lord? What about the lord? Dunshe whispered, "No." ”

I don't know who Fang Buzhen yelled at: "You little guard, do you know who I am?" Dignified three-grade members, let me go! Let me go! Deng She thought to himself: "Can't put it!" Fang Buzhen shouted: "If you don't let go, wow, I'm going to spray you!" Deng Shexin said: "You can't put it if you spray it!" ”

In fact, since accepting Li Aguan, Deng She vaguely felt that this matter would never be over, and there would be a follow-up. Didn't you see that Yao Haogu discovered it the next day?

Yao Haogu is loyal and will not embarrass him; Wen Huaguo and the others knew about it, and at most laughed it off; Even Hong Jixun wouldn't be angry about it, and he wouldn't even take it seriously at all; As for Wu Henian and his ilk, maybe he praised him for his elegant affairs. I'm afraid that people like Fang Buzhen will know, but as a result, I'm really afraid of something.

The wing room where Fang Buzhen went was not too far from the lobby, he roared like thunder, and Deng She, who listened to it, was restless.

After a short time, Yao Haogu arrived, and the guards introduced him into the hall.

On the way, he asked the guards, "What?" What happened? The guard told the truth, "I don't know." As soon as Master Fang came, he began to shout and shout, and he was untidy. He had been a guard for so long, and he had never seen such a bold and noisy person from the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he couldn't help but ask, "Lord Fang, there won't be phlegm, right?" ”

Yao Haogu smiled bitterly and said, "It's hard to say, it's hard to say." ”

Entering the lobby, he couldn't see his five fingers, and suddenly a person turned out in front of him, which startled Yao Haogu. The man opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Yao, you are here. Yao Haogu could clearly identify it by the moonlight, it was Deng She, holding his belt in his hand, looking calm and relaxed. The guard bowed and retreated, and Yao Haogu said, "I have seen the lord in my humble position,...... What happened? ”

Deng She's face was slightly red, and the hall was pitch black, and Yao Haogu couldn't see it. He said: "I heard that tonight, the old officials of Liaoyang are gathering, and Lord Fang is also here. …… Oh, that Li Yuanwailang may have also gone to the banquet. ”

The old officials of Liaoyang gathered, Yao Haogu knew about it, and the post of the treat also went down to his mansion, but he was cautious and refused to participate in this kind of banquet, so he didn't go. Listening to what Deng She said at this time, although his words flickered, Yao Haogu suddenly understood. If the lord has something to do, how can the courtiers shirk it? Yao Haogu shook it to the end and said, "The lord is relieved, so let's go and take a look." ”

Yao Haogu went to the wing room, retired the guards, whispered, and asked, "Shique, do you want to be Wei Zheng?" ”

In the end, he understood Fang Buzhen's temper, and hit the nail on the head, saying what Fang Buzhen was thinking. He and Fang Buzhen are respectful and humble, and there is really a teacher-student friendship, no matter how angry Fang Buzhen is, he needs to see his thin face, so he closed his voice and said: "Duke Wei, be a model of a courtier." Humble and talented, for the people of Haidong, willing to be the bronze mirror of the lord. ”

"Taizong plays with birds, he can't put it down, it coincides with Wei Zheng's recital, and Taizong hides birds into his sleeves. Wei Zheng wanted to remind Taizong not to lose his mind, so he made a tirade and suffocated the bird. Shique, let me ask you, did Wei Zheng and Taizong quarrel? ”

Fang Buzhen said: "No." ”

Yao Haogu asked, "Does Taizong know Wei Zheng's intentions?" ”

"Got it."

"Flexibility overcomes rigidity; Rigidity is extremely easy to fold. Do you know the meaning of these eight words, two sentences? ”

"Yes."

Yao Hao said: "Lord, there are 100,000 people, according to the land of thousands of miles. Naha out, the hero of the moment, the hand of the defeated lord; After the famous general, the 200,000 elite army was wiped out. When the lord is angry, he can shed blood for thousands of miles; The word of the lord can drive millions of people to death. Now, the lord is hiding in the dark hall, not daring to open the candle, wandering around and not daring to see you, is he afraid of you? ”

Fang Buzhen was silent.

Yao Haogu said: "You are just a scholar, your strength is less than 100 catties, and you can't tie up a chicken." Will the lord be afraid of you? Although the lord is young and has little literature, he has the heart of honor and disgrace, and has the ambition to change after hearing about it. What the Lord fears is the Lord's own conscience. If you want to be Wei Zheng, it's good; However, if you make a direct statement, you also need to pay attention to the heat. Do you see what I mean? ”

"Understood."

"The lord has already known his mistake, do you still want the lord to apologize to you in person? If you want to be in the limelight and want to use the prestige of the lord to leave your name in history, you can continue to make a big fuss. If you have a loyal heart, you are indeed the people of Haidong, and you really want to be the bronze mirror of the lord, so you can stop in moderation. ”

Yao Haogu turned around and walked out, Fang Buzhen hesitated for a moment and walked out.

"You go back first, I have something to say to my lord."

Fang Buzhen bowed down to the order and didn't mention it. Yao Haogu turned back to the hall, Deng She and the others were anxious, and asked eagerly, "What?" Yao Haogu said: "What you do is actually for the sake of the lord." He is young and vigorous, and the city government is insufficient, so he is like a jade, and he has not been chiseled. Humble and ask the lord, and never be angry because of it. ”

Deng She didn't get angry at all, he said, "Naturally, naturally. Is Master Fang gone? ”

Yao Haogu nodded and said, "Although Shique is gone, please don't forget today's embarrassment." Deng She let out a sigh of relief and said, "This is only one time, and there is no exception." ”

He really had a headache, he used to concentrate on the war, and rarely made mistakes, and even if he made mistakes, it was a military and political mistake, and there was no fault in his private life. Fang Buzhen's appearance today made him deeply understand the truth of "the lord has no selfish affairs". Now that he has ascended to a high position and enjoys the honor of being answered by every call, he must bear the corresponding responsibilities and not act arbitrarily.

He made a decision to send Li Dunru to Shuangcheng tomorrow, so as not to meet on matters and make the two embarrassed.

Day by day, busyness passes. Fang Buzhen made a big fuss in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and soon no one mentioned it again. Yao Haogu and Fang Buzhen kept it a good secret, and with the departure of Li Dunru, his dedication to his wife slowly became a disappearing secret. Even Deng She would only think of this matter when he saw Li Aguan, when he wantonly released pressure on her.

Counting on the fingers, it is only seven or eight days before the Spring Festival.

In the first Spring Festival of Haidong Province, whether it was Hong Jixun, Yao Haogu, or Wen Huaguo and Zhao Guo, they all proposed to hold a special event. After fighting for so long, he finally has his own territory, which is more than enough than the top, and compared to the chaotic Central Plains, it can be regarded as peaceful in the territory. Everyone had a longing to relive the normal life of their youth, and Deng She understood their mentality and agreed to their suggestions.

The city was lit up everywhere, and the Pyongyang government did everything it could to distribute a few New Year's gifts to each family, which was a special request from Deng She. If the people are unhappy, and only the bureaucrats are happy, this Spring Festival will be meaningless.

On this day, a messenger came from Shandong and brought the letterheads of Li Shousheng and Ren Zhonghou.

Deng She didn't look at Li Shousheng's letter first, and unfolded Ren Zhonghou's, which was sprinkled with a lot of words, and read it roughly, which was nothing more than congratulatory New Year celebrations and other words. Accompanying the letter, there were several large boxes of gifts, some of which were sent by Ren Zhonghou, and some were returned gifts from Wang Shicheng and Mrs. Wang.

Just a few days ago, Deng She sent them a New Year gift, and in addition, other gifts for Xiao Ming Wang and Liu Futong were also sent.

In Ren Zhonghou's envelope, there was a page of Korean paper, folded with a palindrome knot, the color was pale green, with a faint fragrance. Only two lines of poetry were written: "The river is eternal, and it is impossible to think about it." The moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time. The font is beautiful, Deng She has long recognized it, and it is Mrs. Wang's handwriting.

Put down this letter and go to see Li Shousheng's again.

Li Shousheng was the first batch of seas, in order to ensure secrecy, he did not contact Ren Zhonghou, disguised himself as a businessman, and had already established himself. The selected spies floated to the sea in three batches, each with three groups, two of which went to Henan and one group stayed in Shandong. In Li Shousheng's letter, he used cryptic words and passwords to report in detail all kinds of specific experiences.

The time is still short, the personnel have not arrived, and the intelligence activities have not yet been officially launched. He planned to take advantage of the Spring Festival to call the spies who crossed the sea first to go through the relationship with the local yamen and pave the way for the next move. Deng She did not doubt the use of people, and knew the necessity of the general and the king's order, and gave him the power to act cheaply and make decisions on the spot, and after reading it, he simply replied that he knew and did not interfere.

After dealing with this matter, in the afternoon, Wu Henian of Shuangcheng sent a messenger, the same gift was delivered, and the same early New Year's greetings were made. Accompanied by two people whom Dunshet had specially ordered to be brought.

One Fujimitsuhide, one Kikuzaburo. Originally a Japanese coward, Ha Mitsu Hide caught them when he fought the overseas islands of the Twin Cities.

Deng She went to Liaodong and lost them to Wu Henian, telling them to contact the Japanese pirates on the main island of Japan, giving them weapons and rewarding them with silver money, and harassing southern Goryeo. The two of them did a good job, and in a few months, they contacted more than a dozen large and small Japanese robbers, and together, there were thousands of people, and the king of Goryeo was anxious and too busy to take care of himself. Haidong Province was able to secure southern Xinjiang without war for several months, and they made great contributions.

This time, the two of them also got a small position and served in the Shuangcheng Mansion.

"I've seen the Prime Minister." The two of them worked hard, they didn't see each other for a few months, they learned Chinese, and they stumbled a little, but they had no problem listening and speaking.

"Get up."

Fujimitsuhide and Kikuzaburo stood up respectfully. Their respect comes from the bottom of their hearts, the Yuan Dynasty invaded Japan twice, to be honest, the Japanese people have hatred and fear for the Yuan Dynasty, because of the so-called "kamikaze", they are also a little arrogant. But under the influence of thousands of years of Chinese civilization, the Celestial Empire is the Celestial Empire, and they are very proud to be an official of the Celestial Empire.

Even though this Shangguo is just a separatist armed force in China, in their opinion, the county officials are not as good as the current management, and who else in the Haidong area is comparable to Deng She? For the genus of barbarians, pure edification, the effect is not necessarily good; Strength is the only weapon.

"I heard Wu Langzhong say that the two of you are doing well. Very good. I'm usually busy with official business, so I didn't have a chance to meet you two. At the end of the year, everyone is relatively leisurely, and I specially called you to come, not for anything else, but to thank you both in person for your hard work. Deng She said with a pleasant face.

Fujimitsu Xiu was sincerely frightened, and said: "Serving the prime minister, the villain is honored." The praise of the prime minister, the villain dare not take it. ”

"Why didn't your brother, Tojiro, come?"

Tojiro was originally the leader of Fuji Mitsuhide, a group of Japanese pirates, but later Wu Henian was able to obtain the law, and they simply voted for Shuangcheng Prefecture, and with the strong help of Shuangcheng Prefecture, they successively annexed several small-scale Japanese pirates, numbering four or five hundred people, and were the main force to harass southern Goryeo.

"The villain's brother, Jiro, led a team to southern Goryeo a few days ago. The prime minister's order, he did not see. "Approaching the New Year, Tojiro plans to make another profit. The Twin Cities Mansion only received a symbolic amount of what he had obtained from his previous looting, so he worked extremely hard.

"Oh." Deng She bowed his head, chatted with the two of them for a few words, and asked, "I heard that you rarely go back to the village, have you ever been homesick?" ”

Who doesn't want to go home? In the past, because of the identity of the fugitive, they couldn't go back to the township, but now that they have the official body of the Great Song Dynasty, of course, they have the idea of returning home. Especially during the festive season, Fujimitsu Xiu and Kikuzaburo are also sincere, their eyes are red, and they say: "There are old parents at home, and I want to go home." ”

"But I have a matter for you. Well, you can go back to your hometown, okay? ”

1, the river is eternal, and it is impossible to think about it.

Fang: Raft.

From "The Book of Songs: Han Guang", this sentence means: The river is very long, and there is no way to take a raft to get there. The Han River cannot be crossed, and it is difficult to find a wandering girl.
