Stone Town, a gray-haired middle-aged man in the basement of Changsun's Mansion quietly read a book with interest by the lamplight, and from time to time sent pastries to his mouth, excluding environmental factors, he was not comfortable.

At this time, the iron door of the basement was opened, and a young man with a lofty and angular instrument walked in, holding a food box in his hand, and said with a smile: "Uncle, today is the Shangyuan Festival, I brought some wine and food to honor you." ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, he slowly moved his body, and with the movement of his body, there was a dull collision sound of chains, and the shadow of the light on the wall would find that the middle-aged man's left foot was locked with an arm-thick chain, and the other end of the chain was nailed to the wall of the entrance, only to see the man say with a loving face: "Hasn't your father returned from Luochen City yet?" He has been with me all these years. ”

"My father wrote the day before yesterday that he would return after the Shangyuan Festival, and asked me to accompany you today." The sincerity and respect of the young people's words can be seen to be sincere.

"Ziyang, your father always doesn't want you to interact with me too much, for fear that I will bring you badly, in fact, your father knows that what I said is right, but he has too many fetters and too many thoughts."

"Uncle, in fact, my father has never hidden your thoughts from me, and even discussed with me, with all due respect to my nephew, your ideas are too bold, as the so-called pulling a hair and moving the whole body, you can know a sentence 'Those who are in government should be all the people together, and those who think that the government should be the first people. For the general, the pawn should be the soldier, the commander should be raised for the people, and the people should be raised; For the general, he should be a pawn, and the general will raise the people, and the people will be the most abandoned. Those who enforce the law should be independent, and the people should be peaceful. 'How many people were frightened?' ”

"Are you scared? I think you're calm. The middle-aged man was still smiling.

"Uncle, what would you think if I said I preferred Shaw Huley's idea?" Young people are very sincere in their questions.

The middle-aged man was not in a hurry to answer, pondered for a while and said: "Xiao Huli's brother can actually be regarded as my teacher, and both of us have inherited Xiao Huli's ideas, but the way of walking is different, and in essence, we have the same goal. ”

"Uncle, I agree with Xiao Huli's idea because I don't think his approach will cause too many people to resist, and the major families also need to digest it a little bit, for example, our eldest grandson clan has been in charge of the nine counties of Jiangdong for many years, if according to your idea, uncle, we should all be killed, yes or no?" The young people are sincere.

"Ziyang, it's right that you agree with Xiao Huli, after all, you were born in a wealthy family, do you know what kind of group is the most in the world, it is the people, although Xiao Huli has limited the power of the royal family and handed over the power, but the factors affecting the government of the wealthy family have not been completely resolved, and it will still form a trend that will not fall in the end." The middle-aged man patiently explained.

The young man shook his head, and retorted while taking out the wine and food in the food box: "Uncle, you know, the wealthy family has existed for more than a thousand years since the end of the dynasty, you said that the people are the largest group, I don't deny it, but the people have long been accustomed to relying on the wealthy family, although there is no shortage of gentlemen in the wealthy family, but so far no family will not care about the lives of the people they rule, it is not possible to live and work in peace and contentment, but at least it is worry-free." ”

"Child, you also said that the people can only have food and clothing if they are dependent on the family, what about the people who are protected by the wealthy? Have you ever taken care of their displacement? ”

The middle-aged man goes straight to the deepest.

At this time, the young man raised his wine glass and put down the so-called etiquette and drank it directly, "Uncle, you won, but the little nephew is still more willing to believe that Xiao Huli's idea is more practical, and I am still willing to follow Xiao Huli." ”

"Hahaha..." The middle-aged man laughed heartily, and habitually stroked the young man's head, seeing that the young man was not shy about it, and then said: "Ziyang, if you call me uncle, it means that you don't see me as a flood beast like your father in your heart, who are you willing to follow is your right, uncle and you are just a discussion, you are right, as far as the current situation is concerned, Xiao Huli's approach is more respectful of history, but my uncle thinks that this practice can never be completely eradicated." ”

"Since the Tao is different, the little nephew is all about it, today I want to talk to my uncle, and the second is to tell you that your little cousin may have a whereabouts, and Yang Boyu's closed disciple may be the lost cousin of Shaobeishan back then; the third is that her sister is very good, and she enjoys all the glory and favor at home; Fourth, Cui Mian has a request for you. After the eldest grandson Ziyang finished speaking, he exhaled a breath, sandwiched a piece of meat and tasted it slowly.

The middle-aged man's expression was still indifferent, but the hand holding the wine glass couldn't deceive people, and after a while, there was only half a glass left in the kung fu wine glass, and then he finished it in one gulp, and said: "Child, I have always been relieved about Yue'er's affairs, I don't force Yan'er's affairs, I will have a good chat with him when your father returns, Cui Mian begged me, is there something wrong with Lucheng?" ”

"Uncle Mingjian, the Lucheng rebels have been ravaging the eastern border for more than two years, and Cui Mian'er probably won't be able to hold on." The eldest grandson Ziyang said proudly.

"The matter of Lucheng is actually very simple, I am afraid that the Jiuqu Cui clan of the thousand-year-old wang clan will be reluctant, as long as they do what I say, they can solve it without me going out of the mountain, if they can't do what I say, it is useless for me to go out of the mountain."

"Please teach my uncle." Lucheng is a dead knot, and the eldest grandson Ziyang was surprised that the person in front of him seemed to be confident in solving the matter of the rebels in Lucheng.

"The Cui clan occupies millions of hectares of fertile land in the east, and the people under the rule of the Pinglu clan and the Taishi clan have been oppressed, and this rebel army has gradually formed, although the Cui clan is good to the people under his rule, but most of these people are ordinary people, and there is no benefit to the argument to provoke the Lu clan or the Taishi clan, so if you want to make a living in the east, isn't it the best to handle the Jiuqu Cui clan, the Cui clan has been passed down in literature for thousands of years, and almost never focuses on martial arts, the Cui clan is now frightened, and will only blindly block it, and the people under the rule have never launched, isn't it erosive?"

The middle-aged head is the analysis of the Tao.

The eldest grandson Ziyang was like an empowerment, and arched his hand: "Uncle, I don't know how you and your father decide, my nephew really hopes that you can go out of the mountain to do things, not for anything else, for the greatness of your vision, nephew today is a promise, no matter what happens in the future, if uncle needs nephew, he is willing to do one thing for you." ”

The middle-aged man no longer answered, smiled and waved his hand to signal that the eldest grandson Ziyang could leave, picked up the book and continued to read, drinking wine and eating food from time to time, and the style of celebrities and gentlemen was fully displayed.

Just when the eldest grandson Ziyang recalled Meng Zhao's words, the Yingchuan Chen clan was already in a mess, and Chen Shuo lost it, leaving only a word and disappearing.

Chen Ji, the head of the Chen family, had just returned from Luochen City, and now he was sitting on the chair with his eyes closed after holding the sentence left by Chen Shuo in his hand, allowing the children of the clan in the hall to quarrel, and suddenly Chen Ji coughed lightly, and the hall immediately became quiet, Chen Ji slowly stood up, looked at the people in the hall and said: "The good things you have done, just because he is the son of the Xiao family, treat him like this, forget about house arrest, why are you locked up in the dungeon?" He also has the blood of our Chen family in his body! ”

The silence in the hall was terrible, and I don't know how long it took, finally an old man with a silver beard and a cane stood up and responded: "Bai Wu, this son is a scourge, he killed his grandfather and mother, in order to keep the Chen family from being implicated, how much effort and how many interests you sacrificed to reconcile with the royal family, and he is already the person targeted by the night guards, why do you stubbornly want to keep him in the Chen family." ”

"Third uncle, you know that his little uncle Xiao Huli is already the king of South Vietnam, although our Chen family is called the new upstart, but when do the people of the four cities and six surnames treat us as the same thing, I left him to leave a way for our Chen family, and with him, the development of our Chen family to the south will not be hindered too much." Chen Ji said bitterly.

"Bai Wu, you have this intention, you should have explained it to the clansmen earlier, why wait until today to say it?" The third uncle's crutches were heavy on the ground.

"Third uncle, how can these words explain to the clansmen that my Chen family has been able to get to this day all because of the ancestor Chen Xiang's dedication to the royal family of the Ling Dynasty, and the Chen family is a loyal dog of the royal family of the Ling Dynasty in the eyes of the world!" Chen Ji said angrily.

"So what now? You have to have a charter. The third uncle said.

"Alas! The Pinglu clan has been attached to the Taishi family of Tiger Roaring City over the years, and its strength is increasing day by day, and it is almost equal to the Cui family in the east, and our Chen family is in the most difficult place, if you don't need foreign aid, it will be difficult to get out, so I will leave Chen Shuo at all costs and let him be surnamed Chen. Chen's tone was full of helplessness.

The silence in the hall was restored again, and the young children who had been noisy and quarrelling did not dare to raise their heads at this time, and the timid ones were already soaked with their clothes.

"That's it, since he has escaped and brought it back, since he wants to go to South Vietnam, the land route is impossible, the only way is to go to Dongyang City to go to the sea by boat, Chen Chong, you hurry to Jiangdong, take my letter and let the eldest grandson's family do a favor, see if it is still in Jiangdong, Chen Xin, you go to Dongyang City to block him, the replacement of the city lord in Dongyang City after the year must be very lively, if you see it, bring him back." Chen Ji saw that the hall was full of incompetent people, so he had to solve it himself, I hope this kid has not crossed the territory of Jiangdong.

When the crowd dispersed, Chen Ji picked up the letter again, and the paper read, "Let's go, see you later." ”
