Chapter 157: All Connected
It wasn't until the sun turned west that the two bosses left the imperial study before and after.
Compared with Huang Taishi's calmness, Fan Taibao looked full of sadness.
Huang Yi just happened to be out of value, and at this time he changed into the guard's clothes and prepared to go home.
When he saw the two old men, he stepped forward to help.
Huang Taishi instructed him: "You just hold on to the Taibao, the old man is fine." ”
Huang Yi listened to his grandfather's arrangement.
The three of them walked on the palace road.
Huang Taishi looked at Fan Taibao's appearance and persuaded: "It's just a formation, and there is no confrontation, why is Taibao worried like this?" How can you say it, you all followed the first emperor from the troubled times, don't make it look like you haven't seen the world, you go to the thousand-step corridor with this sad face, and don't frighten people? ”
Fan Taibao raised his hand and rubbed his face vigorously.
Taishi's words are very reasonable.
These close ministers of the emperor, no matter what they are facing, no matter what they are facing, they must be full of confidence in their faces.
His experience is also rich, and he has seen all kinds of situations, but this time......
He was indeed weak-hearted.
"Since Lin Xuan left, I haven't had a hard fight with the Xiliang people for more than ten years," Fan Taibao sighed, "Those small fights can't come to the table, I'm talking about a big war, the enemy moves first, and our side strikes later, and we are so hesitant to ...... it."
Huang Taishi said with a smile: "If the people of Xiliang really have the ability to conquer Feimen Pass, they would have come in a long time ago." According to me, it is that the spies have been found out by us, and they are not convinced, and they play a majestic show, and once the flying gate is put in a countermeasure, they are afraid that they will not immediately withdraw their troops. ”
"Not necessarily," Fan Taibao said, "We have to guard against Nanshu, in case the two of them unite, we can withstand it, and we will all suffer a big loss."
"Taibao is just too worried," Huang Taishi comforted him and said, "The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and I believe that our soldiers of the Great Zhou can resist it." ”
Fan Taibao shook his head with a smile, and said to Huang Yi: "Listen." ”
Huang Yi said: "My grandfather has always been full of confidence in Da Zhou. ”
Sending the two old men back to the Thousand Steps Corridor, Huang Yi pondered for a while, turned his head and went to the red-clothed guard yamen.
Lin Fan was busy packing up the paperwork.
Huang Yi poured himself a cup of tea and sat down.
"Go to the border pass," Huang Yi took a sip of tea, "I don't know, whether I should say I envy you." ”
A manly man, who doesn't want to make a career?
Huang Yiyuan is not very conformist, otherwise, he would not have practiced martial arts when he was a child and became a royal guard when he grew up, but honestly went to study and take the imperial examination.
There is a grandfather who is a master and grandfather, who is on a serious career and is easier to walk than others.
But he doesn't like it himself, and prefers to dance with knives and guns.
It's a shame that he is the youngest grandson, and he has been with him since he was a child, and his family has not screwed his character.
Lin Fanhe smiled.
Huang Yi looked left and right, made sure that his words would not be heard, and said: "In the afternoon, my grandfather and Lord Taibao discussed with the emperor for a long time. My grandfather looked very confident, but he was very worried. ”
Seeing Lin Fan's glance at him, Huang Yi considered his words and said in a tangled manner: "The two have too different emotions, although my grandfather is such a personality, but I can't say it for a while, whether he is too confident or Lord Taibao is too worried." ”
Lin Fan heard Huang Yi say a word without saying a word, but did not answer.
It wasn't until the matter at hand came to an end for the time being, and the yamen was scattered, that he beckoned Huang Yi to eat a piece of wine.
On the second floor of the pharmacy, it was rare that Lin Fan closed the window.
Seeing him so cautious, the corners of Huang Yi's eyebrows jumped.
Could it be that my grandfather's self-confidence was overly optimistic due to his character, and Fan Taibao's sadness was the real situation represented by this war?
Thinking about it like this, the wine and food on the table instantly became unfragrant.
Huang Yi didn't even move his chopsticks, he sat upright, ready to listen to Lin Fan's important matter.
Lin Fan asked: "How was Ma Gui found out, do you remember?" ”
Huang Yi nodded: "I'll ask you to go to Pingjiang Building to buy porridge." ”
"Because the Taishi wants to eat porridge."
"What's the problem?" As soon as Huang Yi spoke, he was silent.
Don't think about it, of course there is no problem, but Lin Fan's question made Huang Yi can't help but start thinking about what else is going on.
"Grandfather is not a person who pays attention to appetite," Huang Yi said slowly, "even if he suddenly wants to eat porridge, he will let his subordinates buy it, not me." ”
Lin Fan said: "The old lady wants me to go, he knows that Pingjianglou can lead out Ma Gui." ”
Huang Yi looked solemn: "You mean, my grandfather knows the situation of the Liang in Jingzhong and Xiliang, and he turned a corner and asked you to arrest him?"
It is not uncommon for my grandfather to be in a high position and to know something that others do not know about.
It is very common to find out the details and pull out the other party.
Why didn't he just say it and go around in circles with you?
Is he bad at explaining the source? ”
"The old lady is indeed very difficult to explain," Lin Fan sat down and said in a suppressed voice, "He has contacts with Xiliang and Nanshu. ”
Huang Yi was stunned, stood up, and looked at Lin Fan in disbelief: "What do you mean?" You say grandfather he...... No way! Grandfather was loyal to the Great Zhou and the emperor. I am his grandson, and I will never doubt him if I am faithful to that. ”
"What's the hurry?" Lin Fanchong made a "sit down" gesture to Huang Yi and said, "If the old lady is not loyal to the Great Zhou, I will still tell you this here?" ”
Huang Yi sat down with a calm face.
Yes.
If his grandfather had taken refuge in a foreign enemy behind his back, Lin Fan would not have said a word to him, and would have collected evidence and handed it over to the emperor a long time ago.
"If it weren't for someone contacting the news, Xiliang's reaction wouldn't have been so fast," Lin Fan explained, "Ma Guicai found out within a few days, and we didn't check it completely, so Xiliang marched eastward." ”
Huang Yi understood this truth and said, "That may not be my grandfather'......"
"If you really want to clarify the evidence, I will judge Ma Gui like this, but once it comes out of his mouth, the emperor is in front of me, and I have no way to cover it up for the old lady," Lin Fan paused and said, "You always said in the past that the old lady admired the emperor very much, and the stability and development after the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty was the emperor's achievement."
The inside is thriving, but the outside is only on the outside, and since my father passed away, there has been no push.
The old lady should be thinking that with our current strength and reserves, it is enough to attack Kexiliang in the west, and if the emperor does not take the initiative, let him passively face the battle.
I don't need to tell you these inside information, I just went out with the old generals.
It's just that I'm worried about the old lady's overconfidence.
This time, Yongning Hou fell ill and lacked a backbone, so this battle was not easy to fight.
You want to persuade the old lady, you can't become a fat man by eating in one bite, we will face Xiliang and kill a horse thief, this is the limit.
He had to stop, and he didn't drag Nanshu in with him.
Otherwise, it will really be a two-way enemy, and Da Zhou will not be able to eat. ”
