Chapter 727: A Warm World for Two
Hearing Abbot Puhui's question, Liu Tingfeng said with a puzzled face:
"Speaking of the other party's main general, I am wondering? Judging from the information obtained, his name is Baili Hefeng, he is not a traitorous person, he has a very high reputation in the area under his command, and he is also very good to the people, so he has been supported by many people, and the union of the six feudal towns is formed by him. ”
"He was originally the Taishou of Gyeongju County, with 200,000 troops, and in the war between the two princes for the throne, he reinforced 100,000 for the prince and stayed 100,000 himself."
"After the death of the emperor, various places became independent and established feudal towns, and he also took advantage of the situation and made Gyeongju County independent as a feudal town of its own, and expanded the army to 600,000."
"However, after he established the feudal town, he did not make any big moves, neither annexed the surrounding forces, nor was he attacked by other forces, he still governed Gyeongju County in an orderly manner, and also took the initiative to reduce taxes, vigorously supported the development of agriculture, paved roads and bridges for the people, and opened water conservancy, which is considered a good official, and therefore, in Gyeongju County, he is very loved by the people."
"He is a good official who loves the people like a son, an official who is good at governing local government affairs, and at the same time, he has always been very loyal to the imperial court.
After listening to Liu Tingfeng's discussion, Abbot Puhui nodded and said:
"This is a powerful minister who rules the world!"
After a pause, Abbot Puhui continued:
"However, now is the troubled times, it is said that the troubled times produce heroes, such a person, there are two development directions, if the court can accept him, he will become a rare general, if the court can not accept him, he may become a hero in the troubled times, and may become the biggest rival in the unification."
Liu Tingfeng said in disbelief:
"The analysis of my predecessors coincides with my senior sister's, and my senior sister also gave him two evaluations, that is, the capable minister who governs the world and the hero of the troubled times."
Abbot Puhui showed a hint of surprise and couldn't help asking:
"What is the King going to do with him?"
Liu Tingfeng has always trusted Abbot Puhui very much, and Mu Qianmei also told him that he can fully trust Abbot Puhui, and all questions can be brought out to discuss, and he immediately replied:
"Senior sister said that the first consideration for such a talent is, of course, to accept it, and it is the best choice to be able to use it for oneself."
"However, whether he wants to accept it or not depends on how he behaves in this war, if he takes into account the people of Gyeongju County, if he doesn't really fight, he can win with momentum, and then surrender, he still continues to stay as the Taishou of Gyeongju County, and at the critical moment, he can also be transferred to the court and hold more important positions."
"However, if he really fights and wants to raise the strength of a county to resist, completely ignoring the life and death of the people, then this person must not be kept, and must be removed as soon as possible, otherwise, it will become the biggest hidden danger to our development, because such a person, as long as he is alive, can rise again at a very fast speed wherever he goes."
"In the final analysis, the choice is in his hands, and how to choose is in his thoughts."
Abbot Puhui softly exclaimed:
"The wisdom of the Heavenly King is indeed very incomparable, and in the opinion of the old man, this is the best way to deal with it."
"Judging by Tingfeng, what choice do you think he will make?"
After thinking for a while, Liu Tingfeng replied:
"In my opinion, from his past analysis, he should not care about the lives of the people, therefore, this war is more of a temptation, for the new court, he does not know, this war, is just to understand the strength and real strategy of the new court, if it is not what he expects, he will really stand on his own feet and rule the country according to his own ideas."
"If he is tempted to approve of this newly established imperial court, he should accept Zhao'an and continue to serve the imperial court."
"Therefore, I think it is more likely that he will accept Zhao'an in the end."
Abbot Puhui said with a little pity:
"Alas, using a war as a temptation, no matter how you look at it, this price seems a bit big!"
Liu Tingfeng also replied in a sad tone:
"Yes, the cost of such a temptation is indeed greater, once the war breaks out, even if it is far away from the people, the sacrifice of the soldiers is extremely heavy."
Abbot Puhui looked in the direction of Gyeongju County and said leisurely:
"I hope they can end the fighting as soon as possible and not fight too hard."
After the two chatted for a while, Liu Tingfeng said goodbye and left.
There are three generals and Abbot Puhui here, he is still very relieved, during the Chinese New Year, he still wants to be by Mu Qianmei's side, only when the two of them are together, can they feel at home.
However, when Liu Tingfeng returned to the Tianwang Palace, Mu Qianmei was not in the palace, and the palace maid told Liu Tingfeng that Mu Qianmei was still in the imperial study to review the chapters.
Liu Tingfeng didn't go over to bother, but stayed in the Heavenly King's Palace, and when he had nothing to do, he sat down to meditate and cultivate.
In the past three months, he has been busy training soldiers during the day every day, and only at night can he calm down and cultivate, and his speed is naturally much slower.
There is no such thing as the best of both worlds in this world, if you choose the same, you will inevitably give up, for Liu Tingfeng, if it is according to his inner thoughts, he would naturally prefer to cultivate rather than be a great general, the person he admires is like Qin Changfeng, after founding a gang, with rich resources, he will concentrate on cultivation and improve cultivation is the greatest capital.
He really didn't think about it for the country and the people, protecting his family and defending the country, because he didn't belong to the Xiyu Country in the first place, and he didn't have much sense of belonging to the Xiyu Country.
However, Mu Qianmei chose such a path, and he could only assist with all his might, because they were one.
After giving up the time of cultivation, the improvement of cultivation naturally became much slower, and he was still in the middle of the Jindan stage, and he had not yet reached the late stage.
However, due to the abundance of resources, he saw that the Jin Dan in the Purple Mansion had also undergone great changes, and he seemed to feel that there were already signs of life in the Jin Dan, but it was still very weak and weak, and he needed to feel it carefully before he could feel it.
Liu Tingfeng is a very patient person, and he also knows that cultivation depends on the accumulation of time and time, and he can't be in a hurry, so when he cultivates, he just runs the aura in his body naturally, and he doesn't have anxious emotions.
When he woke up after cultivating for twelve weeks, he found that Mu Qianmei was already sitting beside her.
Liu Tingfeng immediately said apologetically:
"Senior sister, how long have you been back? Why didn't I feel your coming? ”
Mu Qianmei smiled lightly:
"I see that you have already settled down, so I didn't bother you, I was busy with military affairs during this time, and my cultivation has been delayed a lot, so I should strengthen it well."
Liu Tingfeng asked curiously:
"How is Senior Sister's cultivation now? Have you been affected by government affairs? ”
Mu Qianmei smiled and said:
"Of course, it will also be affected, but I am better than you, I am in the palace most of the time, and after handling government affairs, I can arrange my own cultivation time, and the environment here is very quiet and safe, I can enter the state of concentration very steadily, therefore, the speed of cultivation improvement is still normal."
"Although I am still in the early stage of the Yuan Infant Stage, the Yuan Infant in the Purple Mansion seems to be not far from awakening, so I am also about to reach the middle stage of the Yuan Infant Stage of cultivation."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Liu Tingfeng's stomach "gurgling", obviously hungry, so she said with a smile:
"Hehe, your stomach is making a revolution, let's go, the meal is ready, let's talk while eating."
Liu Tingfeng stood up and said curiously:
"It is said that when it comes to the Jindan period, you don't need to eat, why do you have to eat on time for three meals a day to feel more comfortable?"
Mu Qianmei replied as she walked:
"This is a habit, as long as everything is a habit, at that point in time, it will naturally react, plus the psychological effect, and I will also look forward to eating, and it will naturally feel more comfortable when I am full."
As they spoke, the two had already come to the dining table, sat down face to face, the palace maid had already placed the meal, and after Mu Qianmei told the palace maid to go out, only the senior sisters and brothers were left in the hall to enjoy a sumptuous dinner quietly.
Mu Qianmei poured a glass of wine for Liu Tingfeng and herself, and then said with a smile:
"When you are still there, you will feel the warmth of home, and no matter how many people are there, you always feel empty and unsteady."
Liu Tingfeng picked up his wine glass and said:
"Well, I feel the same way, only by my sister's side will I feel the warmth of home, and every day outside, it seems to be drifting."
The two gently touched their glasses, then took a small sip of wine, and looked at each other and smiled as they ate.
There seemed to be a sweet smell wafting through the air.
Liu Tingfeng took a bite of the dish and said casually:
"Senior sister said that Xiao Bie is newlywed, but I think we only see each other once in half a month, and in the fourteen days of separation, I look forward to seeing each other every day!"
I don't know if it's because of the wine, or what association I have with Liu Tingfeng's sentence "Xiao Biesheng is newly married", Mu Qianmei's face was immediately dyed with a layer of redness, and she said with a smile in her eyebrows:
"It's just to have expectations, so I will cherish the time together, although I also want to get along day and night, but it's not bad to experience a short separation once in a while!"
After finishing speaking, she felt that she could not continue the topic, so she naturally shifted the center of her discourse:
"This situation will not last long, and when the overall situation is settled, we will be able to stay together for a long time, and how long can the war be fought? Three years at most, otherwise, it can't be consumed, and three years is just a flick of a finger for those who can live forever, what do you say? ”
Liu Tingfeng thought about it, and said thoughtfully:
"Senior sister is right, it's true, the years to come are still long, and we will be able to stay together forever in the future and never be separated."
