Chapter 673: The future is uncertain
Xiao Feng's father and son looked at each other, and their understanding of officialdom was very superficial.
Xiao Feng didn't care about the king of the Southern Courtyard, but Xiao Yuanshan couldn't help but care about his son's future.
He was also a leading martial arts master in Liao back then, and he didn't get into such an important position. In his opinion, the king of the Southern Courtyard is already at the end of being a courtier, and he can only be the emperor if he takes another step. The son was fortunate to ascend to a high position, but he had to keep his talent school
Xiao Yuanshan said: "Sir, you are a big official of the Song Dynasty, and when you go to the officialdom to strategize, Da Liao is far from being able to compare with you, you teach Feng'er." ”
Huang Shang smiled: "I can't teach it." ”
"Why?"
Xiao Feng also came to the upside, originally his father asked the master for advice on the way to become an official, but he was impatient, as if he was greedy for power. But if the master can't teach him, then he will have to listen to something.
Huang Shang said: "First, I am not a big official, since I joined the office, my official position is actually not high, and there is no comparison with the official position of the king of the Southern Courtyard, and now I have received an idle position." ”
Where there is a first, there is a second.
Huang Sheng continued: "Second, I belong to the kind of professional bureaucrat who doesn't do the facts, and I just mess around. I don't have the right, and I don't want the right, so no one will harm me, and it's interesting that I don't hurt others. ”
Xiao Feng smiled: "Then it's good that I don't do practical things, I didn't think about being the king of the Southern Courtyard, and I didn't think about how long I stayed in Daliao." This king of the Southern Courtyard was very sudden, and I didn't even know it. ”
Huang Shang said: "Then the most important point is that you and I are not the same kind of people. You can learn from me to fish in troubled waters, but when you encounter injustice, can you ignore it? ”
"This ......"
Huang Shang said again: "The competition in officialdom is not about who is right, who is good, and who is noble, but about standing in line, and which group you represent." Those who are bent on doing good deeds do not necessarily end well, and most of them do not have a good end. Think about why you can't be the leader of the beggar gang first. The king of the Southern Courtyard is a casual sentence that may affect the position of millions of Rao, far from being comparable to a beggar gang leader. ”
Huang Shang thinks that Ma Dayuan did not destroy the letter is Xiao Feng's failure, and in the end, so many people turned against Xiao Feng because of this letter is also a manifestation of his lack of deterrence.
Although he was full of prestige in the eyes of the people at the bottom, he did not exert enough deterrence on the top, let alone form a party. When he pays too much attention to benevolence and righteousness, he gives his subordinates the courage to betray.
Xiao Feng doesn't see it that way, he thinks it's completely normal for his subordinates to oust themselves because they are Khitans, he doesn't put the power in his hands in the first place, but puts the righteousness in the first place, which is even more fatal in the officialdom.
Even if there is no reminder from the original, Huang Shang is not optimistic about Xiao Feng's career.
Xiao Feng said: "Emperor Liao is my brother-in-law......"
Huang Shang waved his hand and interrupted: "He is the emperor, you are the king of the Southern Courtyard, you are the monarch and minister, not the brother." If you keep treating him as a brother-in-law, you will be killed. ”
The Xiao father and son left, and Li Canghai asked, "Don't you disapprove of Feng'er being such a big official?" ”
Huang Sheng shook his head: "No, I'm just reminding him." He, the king of the Southern Academy, became too sudden, had no grassroots work experience, and did not have the process of climbing up, so he suddenly became the king of the Southern Courtyard and did not form his own interest group. If he is just greedy for wealth and wealth, and wants to be corrupt and pervert the law, he is afraid that he really wants to do something good for the benefit of the country and the people, even if his position is high enough, it will be difficult to go to school."
Li Canghai was puzzled: "Are you encouraging him to be a traitor?" ”
Huang Shang asked, "Who is Zhong?" Who is the traitor? Can you tell the difference? ”
Li Canghai was at a loss: "Then should I give Yu Yan to him?" ”
Huang Sheng was reluctant to discuss these high-ranking things with her, but when she mentioned the marriage between Wang Yuyan and Xiao Feng again, she hurriedly changed the topic and said: "It doesn't matter, Yu Yan is not greedy for her status as the king of the Southern Courtyard, and the two of them are in the rivers and lakes, and they are even more at ease, as long as the two of them are willing." ”
Taking advantage of the fact that Xiao Feng did not return to Liao, his biological father and adoptive parents were there, and Li Qiushui was also there, he planned to handle the marriage between him and Wang Yuyan in Yanping.
Li Canghai smiled at Li Qiushui and said: "Yu Yan didn't know what she thought in her heart before, but since my sister has a granddaughter who wants to marry Feng'er, Yu Yan's attitude has changed. In fact, she was wishful thinking for Murong Fu, Murong Fu didn't even respond, how deep can she use her feelings unilaterally? If I want to be my sister, there is a way. ”
Li Qiushui smiled: "I do have a granddaughter who is a princess, and my words are not a joke." ”
Li Qiushui is definitely not an ordinary person, seeing that Xiao Feng, a good young man, is in front of her, she resolutely can't let it go, her granddaughter can't do it, and her own granddaughter, in short, she can't be cheap outsiders.
Huang Shang twisted his head to look at Li Qiushui and said, "You really want to rot Xiao Feng's meat in your pot." ”
Li Qiushui said with a smile: "Isn't it just that my family just has a suitable one." ”
Li Canghai was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Fortunately, Yu Yan didn't miss Feng'er." ”
Huang Shang also raised his big fingers: "How can such a peak not escape from your palm, I have worked hard to cultivate a disciple for so many years, and I am cheap for you." ”
Li Qiushui said: "If you feel that you are at a loss, I will give my own granddaughter to your disciple." ”
Huang Sheng was stunned, isn't this okay? Li Canghai didn't expect his sister to have this idea.
Seeing the incredulous expressions of the two, Li Qiushui said: "With Xiao Feng's status, I don't expect him to have only one wife, Yu Yan, for the rest of his life. ”
Li Qiushui can see it through!
Li Canghai looked at Huang Shang and didn't know how to answer his sister's words.
Huang Sheng hesitated for a long time, shook his head and said: "What is Feng'er's status, he can't figure it out himself, he just married Yu Yan, so don't make trouble for him." The princesses of Daxia are not worried about not being able to get married, and some are young and handsome. ”
Xiao Feng is not a son, he can see one and love another, and marrying Wang Yuyan may not be so smooth if Li Canghai is not actively promoting behind his back. And political marriage is still too unfamiliar to Xiao Fenglai.
Li Qiushui said: "Is there any young man who can compare to your apprentice?" ”
Huang Shang smiled: "Then you will be too rewarded." Does your granddaughter practice martial arts? ”
Li Qiushui shook his head.
Huang Sheng said: "I don't know martial arts, and I was born in the court, it is impossible for her to fall in love with someone like Feng'er." Yu Yan is actually everyone's lady, and what she liked at first was not someone like Feng'er, but Murong Fu. But after all, she is still in contact with the rivers and lakes, and she is even more familiar with martial arts, and finally she has gained profound internal skills. If she can only play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and embroider female red all her life, it is impossible for her to be willing to marry Feng'er. ”
