Litian City,

It's here.

A pioneer pathfinder arrived in advance and informed the officials here, no matter who was born in Yan Jin, there was no need to go out to greet them, and even the major battalions and yamen inside and outside Litian City were not allowed to move.

King Jingnan is here,

He Pingxihou,

I don't bother to toss any more pomp.

Or rather, there are important people to meet, where can I still take care of socializing.

So

Unlike the last time when the white clothes were included in the calendar,

This time

Pingxi Hou left most of the guards outside the city, led a group of flying fish to suit the guards, rode Pixiu, entered from the east gate of Litian City, and went straight to the old marquis's mansion, which is now in front of the Jingnan Palace.

Roll down,

The soldiers at the door all saluted Zheng Fan.

Zheng Fan raised his hand, and then entered the door directly, no one stopped him, no one asked;

Not because he is the Hou Ye, but because everyone in the army knows that he is the most trusted person of King Jingnan.

The eunuchs who proclaimed the decree were not allowed to enter, but the Marquis of Pingxi was free to enter and exit.

This mansion is still the same.

To a certain extent, Lao Tian is indeed a nostalgic person.

In the mansion, only the outermost area has a small number of servants and maidservants, and the core area is almost unocused.

Because the king of the south of the Great Swallow,

I don't like to be disturbed.

Zheng Fan walked in,

I saw the garden full of sorrow, and I also saw the pond in late autumn,

But when the gaze sweeps to the threshold,

But I didn't see the white-haired figure.

A little unexpectedly,

Then his gaze swept around,

found that in a pavilion behind the pond, there was a person sitting, who was it not Tian Wujing?

There was a pot in front of Tian Wujing, steaming.

Zheng Fan walked over and saw that there was red soup in the pot, and there were many dishes to be put on the table.

"Lord ......"

Tian Wujing held chopsticks and stirred slowly in the pot, so as not to make the bottom;

forthwith

He raised his head and looked at Zheng Fan.

Tian Wujing has no beard and scum, his eyes are blank, and there is not much sadness in late autumn on his body.

"Why, don't you see me sitting there dejected, don't you feel like you're used to it?"

"No, no."

Zheng Fan immediately sat down, and here, his pair of dishes and chopsticks had been placed.

"This pot, remember what you used to like to eat, I tried to adjust it, you try, whether it suits your taste."

"How could the bottom of the pot you made be bad."

Tian Wujing shook his head and began to serve food in the pot.

"Over there in Jindong, what's the situation?"

"Back to the prince's words, the momentum of development is good, the plate has been stabilized, and the next step is to focus on the rectification of people's livelihood, in short, the most difficult period of time has passed."

The most difficult thing is that from the winter of last year to this autumn, it is not that I am worried that the hungry people will gather to rebel, nor that I am worried about any other wars, but because last year is the key to laying the foundation, and after the foundation is continued, the whole system will develop in a better and better direction, otherwise, it is really just a garrison in those three places, purely as a large military fort.

"I have always felt that you seem to be better at fighting wars than you in terms of people's livelihood, and this king is not good at governing places."

"Actually, if you are subdued outside, and then you can govern the family, it will be much simpler and calmer, and you must first take care of the outside, and if Jindong can settle down, it is also from you, Lord Wang."

"Yes, externally, you can't bow your head at any time, it's too easy to bow your head, if you lower once, there will be two or three times countless times, Da Yan will establish the country with force, and Bing Ge is the backbone of Da Yan;

But in fact, regardless of Qian, Chu and Jin, in fact, they all established the country by force, and they have read some articles, and the article said that the kingization of the barbarians made the barbarians attached, and only then did Zhuxia have today's vast territory;

However, they will not admire your culture without first subjugating the barbarians with swords and guns and iron horses, and beating them into fear. ”

"That's what you said."

"It's just that my Yan country is difficult, and it is also difficult to maintain, unlike the other three countries, it doesn't hurt to bow your head a little, but Da Yan, as soon as you lower your head, it is easy to be ridden by someone's neck, and then it is overturned on the ground.

As it used to be,

Right now

Even more so.

The more territory is conquered, the richer the military merits, the more vigorous the military spirit, and the more they cannot afford to lose.

Zheng Fan. ”

"Yes."

"Remember these words, people, since you are sitting in this position, it doesn't matter if you have it or not, but in fact, you have your own bottom line.

You like to use power and scheme, you like to take roundabouts, this is the ......... you used to be"

"I'm ......... now"

"Do you now appreciate the benefits of being strong?"

"Yes."

"You can be a little more arrogant."

"I know I'm wrong."

"That's right, I mean, you should be arrogant, if you want to be arrogant in front of people, and behind people, in order to prevent yourself from falling down one day, turn that full of sycophants into arrows that mock you, it is even more impossible and not allowed to slack off;

In fact, this is also a spur. ”

"Yes, lord."

"The day after tomorrow, let's set off, and tomorrow, follow me to Tianhu Mountain to have a look."

"Okay, lord."

"Do you have any plans in mind about the matter of Lichu?"

"Forehead ......"

Zheng Fan really didn't expect the topic to change so quickly and directly.

"Still don't care?" Tian Wujing asked.

"Actually, when I came this time, what I thought in my mind was to stand behind you, and I would echo what you said, and I would take a hand in whatever you wanted to do.

So, I didn't bother with that brain. ”

Tian Wujing pointed to the bottom of the pot with chopsticks,

Road:

"You like spicy food, but if you're really hungry, even if you cook vegetables in clear water, you will be able to eat it."

"What you said is that now I really feel that it doesn't seem very important who becomes the crown prince."

Whoever becomes the crown prince, in a short period of time, is mainly to stabilize the situation, as long as it is not possessed by Zhu Yunwen, he will not rush to cut the domain.

Whether it is the little sixth son or the crown prince, they are not fools, nor are they the kind of people who will be easily fooled.

As long as the feudal domain is not cut, the relationship between the local feudal town and the imperial court will inevitably be passable, and it is nothing more than a temptation to keep pulling back and forth and playing Tai Chi.

This point has nothing to do with who the successor on the dragon chair is.

Because, once Emperor Yan dies, the successor, the prestige of the male emperor, will inevitably be greatly reduced on the successor.

Therefore, why Xiao Liuzi is indifferent to Zheng Fan is very understandable, and he is not angry, the reason is here.

Because of the competition for the throne, for him and his family, it is about the life of his family, but for Zheng Fan today, it is already half a digression.

As Lao Tian said, you are not hungry.

Zheng Fan picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, and said while chewing:

"I'll tell you the truth, a long time ago, I thought about such a day, I, you know, like to be comfortable, like to be free, I don't like to be choked by the neck."

This is a great contradiction.

But in front of Lao Tian, Zheng Fan really didn't dare to say anything.

"People, it's better to find something to be in awe of, otherwise it's easy to be lazy."

"Yes, don't worry about this, I've always wanted to go to Jiangnan to have a look, but I didn't dare to go secretly in a private visit, for fear that the silver armor guard over there would take me;

But I yearn for the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River very much,

Rest assured,

someday

I will inevitably lead the army, go to Jiangnan, and listen to the Oiran sing and sing. ”

Zheng Fan wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand,

Continued:

"Also, I've been in contact with a few Western merchants for a while, and I also want to go to the West to see their magic and fighting spirit, which is different from our Qi Refiner Warriors.

Go and put ......

Go and put our Dayan's black dragon banner,

Stick it on their heads. ”

These words are actually sincere, not for the sake of sycophancy, but when they say it at this time, in fact, they are also showing their loyalty, not to the monarch, but to the oath they made by holding the black dragon banner under the handsome tent.

"There are so many landscapes I want to see, where can I really be lazy? In the past, when I was fighting, after a long time, I was homesick, I missed my mother-in-law and aunt at home, and I missed the soup pool at home;

But after staying at home for a long time, I slowly began to feel itchy in my body, and I wanted to go out and go around, and my hand that was used to holding the knife was also a little sore, and I always wanted to swing and wave again, not the kind of empty martial arts, but I wanted to cut off the head of the enemy general in front of me with a knife when charging.

Being a man is not easy for a lifetime, so I always think about tossing, and only when I toss can I not be in vain in the world. ”

Tian Wujing heard this,

Slowly put down the chopsticks,

Road:

"Are you teaching the king?"

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's always been your share of teaching me, Lord Wang."

"Every day, you can walk, right?" Tian Wujing changed the topic again.

Fortunately, Zheng Fan is used to it.

"I can run, every day in the back house, play with a few playmates, the child is very well-behaved, very sensible, and very obedient, I just like to eat Shaqima, that thing is sweet, I don't dare to let him eat more, I'm afraid of bad teeth."

"You're bothered."

"I'm his godfather, lord, it's boring for you to say this."

"Yes."

Then

Tian Wu mirrored what he thought of,

Opening;

"By the way, the incident I told you last time, this king ........."

Zheng Fan suddenly "chuckled" in his heart,

Immediately came to mind Tian Wujing talking to himself in the fire of Yingdu that day,

He said

If he wants to be liberated in the future, he will discuss it with himself and choose the most suitable way to liberate.

"Let's go!"

The chopsticks in Zheng Fan's hand fell.

"Lord Wang, is it so fast?"

Tian Wujing looked at Zheng Fan,

Road:

"It's been so long."

Marquis Zheng felt a little like crying without tears: "Yes, it's been so long, are you still thinking about it?" ”

"I forgot about it, but as soon as I counted, you should have come, and I remembered it, so I thought I would ask you to help you taste it together."

"I'm ......," Zheng Fan nodded, "You've already thought about it?" ”

"It's not that hard."

"Yes, it's not difficult, I promised you, but can you not say it so lightly?"

"Is it difficult?"

"For me, it's hard."

"Heh, didn't you do a good job last time?"

"I was forced by you, and I was forced by you every time!"

I don't want to die, I've always wanted to die, I want to farm, I want to develop, it's you, push me forward again and again!

"Forced?"

"Sort of."

"Oh, this king, it's not forced."

"I know, I know, you've thought about it a long time ago, okay, okay, okay, I shouldn't have rushed here, I came to the wrong place."

As he spoke, Marquis Zheng reached out and wiped his reddened eyes.

"If you don't come, you can't do it, if you don't come........."

Tian Wujing stretched out his hand,

Grab to the side,

Outside the pavilion, there is a small stove with a steaming drawer on the stove.

Immediately

The steamer was detained and landed on the table.

Tian Wujing stretched out his hand and took the lid, and what was lying inside was a circle of hot steamed buns steaming white.

took a steamed bun,

handed it to Zheng Fan,

"If you don't come, how do I know if this stuffed steamed bun is authentic."
