Chapter 329: Towering Trees
Huizhou, across the river, east of Jiangzhou, Jiangdu, west of Huzhou, Yuzhou, south of Xiangzhou, north of Qizhou, but because of the war between the two armies, the part located on the south bank of the general is not under the control of Xiao Yu, in other words, today's Huizhou has been divided into two, Xiao Yu and Lu Qian to the river as the boundary, each accounted for half.

Now the half that Xiao Yu holds in his hands is mostly plains, named after Huaibei, while the half in Lu Qian's hands is mainly hills, called Jianghuai.
Xiao Yu led a large army to garrison in the southeast of the Huaibei Plain, and he himself entered Anqing, the capital of Huizhou.
After meeting with local officials such as the third division of the local government in Anqing Mansion, he specially summoned the accompanying Min Xing.
Wei Ban is thriving in Huzhou, and the already frustrated Min Xing is even more frustrated, Xiao Yu, as the lord, has already held Wei Ban to a position of sufficient height, which is enough for him to show his talent, and then to establish an existence for Wei Ban to contain him, Min Xing is undoubtedly the most suitable person.
This kind of unintelligent imperial mental technique, Xiao Yu is almost self-taught. Ever since he came to the Northwest, he has been playing with this balancing act, and he has never tired of it.
After all, there is an old saying that the official does not repair the yamen, there are two reasons, one is the iron yamen flowing official, repairing the yamen is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and he may not be in office after repairing, it is not worth repairing, and the other is that the repair of the yamen is easy to be realistic, and he does not dare to repair. The major government offices of Anqing Mansion were last repaired during the reign of Sejong, and it has been nearly a hundred years since then, and the yamen is really dilapidated.
The best place in Anqing Mansion is the Meng family's mansion, also known as Qingyu Garden.
The Meng family is the leading family in Huizhou, although it is not as good as those in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is also six or seven generations of officials one after another, deeply rooted in Huizhou, its mansion has been continuously improved by ten generations, it is to highlight its family heritage, and it is not far behind the ordinary palace.
Xiao Yu went to Huizhou this time to stay in the Qingyu Garden of the Meng family. Far from being half dissatisfied, the Meng clan was very happy and deeply honored.
Qingyu Garden Houfu Garden.
Xiao Yu walked in front with his hands in his hands, and Min Xing was slightly behind by half a body, following behind.
The two walked along a cobblestone path around the entire turquoise water.
Today's Xiao Yu did not wear the python robe with gold patterns on a black background, but wore a stone blue regular robe, bound by a jade belt, which is not quite like His Royal Highness the King of Qi who has the power of thousands of lives and killings in his hands, but is more in line with his other identity, the young head of the Xiao family.
Compared with Xiao Yu's relaxed and casual, Min Xing is much more "serious", wearing a decent first-class military attache unicorn suit, with a jade belt around his waist, black official boots, and a sword inlaid with seven vermilion gems hanging from his waist.
Xiao Yu looked at the hazy lake next to him after the rain, and said, "Zhixing, what do you think of Wei Ban's side?"
Min Xing's upper body leaned forward slightly, and said respectfully: "Back to the king, Wei Dudu is complementing each other with soldiers, and he is already a great talent in the world, and Min Xing can't reach it." ”
Xiao Yu frowned, and said in a slightly accentuated tone: "Lone asked you to say your thoughts, not for you to say these flattering words." ”
Min Xing was startled, and hurriedly said: "The minister is stupid." ”
Xiao Yu subconsciously turned a string of beads on his wrist, lightly pinched the Bodhi Zi that contained delusions, and said slowly: "Since the Northwest incident, to this day, sitting alone in half of the country, most of the people who are alive have achieved fame, but some people are dead, and some people are old. If a generation is old and the young people have not grown up, it is a situation where there is no success. But if young people grow too fast, take root early, go through the baptism of wind and rain without falling, and take deep roots, decades later, it will be a towering tree. ”
Min Xing's face was solemn, he lowered his head, and he didn't dare to speak easily.
Xiao Yu stopped, leaned on a thick tree next to the path, and looked at the canopy above his head, "Just like this tree, a towering tree that shades the sky and the sun." ”
Xiao Yu's five fingers slowly grasped into the trunk of the tree, "The people under the tree, when they look up, they can't see the sky, they can only see the canopy, and over time, they only know that there is a tree, but they don't know the sky above the tree." ”
Min Xing's head hung lower, silent.
Xiao Yu turned around, looked at Min Xing, and said calmly: "Zhixing, do you understand what loneliness means?"
Min Xing said cautiously: "The king is prosperous in the spring and autumn, like the sun in the sky, and under the king, there has never been a towering tree. Even if there is, it can't block the light that the king can shine in all directions. ”
Xiao Yu's face seemed to be smiling, but his eyes gradually became cold.
The lord of Jiangbei, who is determined to be in the world but his physical condition is not optimistic, said in a deep voice: "Not now, it doesn't mean that there won't be in the future, trees don't grow in a day, and the sky is not covered in a day, the sun and the moon will eventually change to a new day, you don't understand such a simple truth?"
Min Xing sensed that the king was already a little angry, and immediately knelt down on one knee and said: "The minister is dull, please forgive the king." ”
Xiao Yu snorted coldly, his face calmed down, and he said calmly: "You are just confused when you should be smart, and smart when you should be confused, so you always do wrong things, and you are always pressed by Wei Ban, if the person just now is Wei Ban, he will not wait until the lone words are clear." ”
There was cold sweat oozing from Min Xing's forehead.
Xiao Yu continued to turn the Bodhi Zi in his hand, since the abolition of his own demon cultivation, the Heavenly Demon is no longer there, but the demonic desire cannot be eradicated, Xiao Yu knows that the so-called inner demon actually comes from his own body, so he has become closer to Buddhism, and recently he is even more taboo meat, jealous of women, and taboo vocal music, often pinch the Bodhi Zi in his hand, to curb thousands of delusions in his heart.
Xiao Yu almost couldn't help but break the entire big tree from it just now, and it wasn't until he counted the Bodhi seeds that his state of mind returned to the state of Gujing Wubo again, and said indifferently: "Lone only has one son Xuan'er, and there will be no second son in his life, and Lone's foundation in this life is counting on him to inherit it, so before that, Lone has to clear the way for him with his own hands." ”
Min Xing said: "The minister should do his best to assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and then die." ”
Xiao Yu's tone was much slower, "These words, Lone shouldn't have said to you, but Lone wants you to watch a person, and I can't help but say it." Min Xing, you remember one thing, there is no tree under the tree. ”
Min Xing bowed his head and promised, his face pale.
Xiao Yu's eyes showed a little disgust, but he covered it up well, waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go." ”
Min Xing half-bent over and slowly retreated backwards, until he withdrew three zhang away, and then turned to leave.
After Min Xing left, Xiao Yu suddenly turned hideous, and cut off the big tree with one palm.
Then he withdrew his hand, his face suddenly calmed down, and said softly: "You are an unsuccessful thing, and it will be difficult to carve rotten wood if you give you another hundred years." ”
