Gu Zhichuan looked at him for a moment, and then sighed: "You are always so good to everyone, how do you know if others will treat you the same?" "He is about to enter the court and become an official, and such a character is the easiest to be calculated and the easiest to suffer. Can the emperor really tolerate him all the time? The emperor is a person who has a clear distinction between right and wrong, and his means are outstanding, can a person with a character like Ouyang Qian really be safe and sound all the time under him?

Ouyang Qian pillowed on his arm and looked into the distance: "My nature is like this, and the things in my bones can't be changed." ”

"Okay, if you can't change it, don't change it, it's good." Gu Zhichuan's face had an indescribable sense of darkness, as if he had something on his mind.

"What is Uncle Gu thinking?" Ouyang Qian looked at Gu Zhichuan's appearance of wandering outside the world, and after a long time, he couldn't help but open his mouth and ask.

"Nothing." Gu Zhichuan restrained his emotions and closed his sword.

Seeing this, Ouyang Qian didn't say much, and directly changed the topic: "I see that my father-in-law has been very busy during this time, and he hasn't returned home, is there something going on recently?" ”

"Didn't the emperor tell you?" Gu Zhichuan frowned slightly, looking at him suspiciously, isn't the emperor ready to introduce him into his career? Still don't tell him anything? Ouyang Qian shook his head, and Gu Zhichuan said, "It's not a big deal, Deng Guo, a vassal state of the Yuan Kingdom, do you know?" ”

"I heard my father-in-law mention it twice, what's wrong?" Ouyang Qian thought that it must be a bad thing, and his face became heavy.

"Deng Yin, the monarch of Deng Guoguo, has been very frequent in recent years, and he wants to rebel with other small countries, and the emperor just received his greeting post a few days ago, saying that he wanted to come to discuss political affairs, and the emperor estimated that it was this matter."

"Isn't Deng Guo not big? The united countries are all small countries, isn't attacking the Yuan Kingdom self-defeating? Ouyang Qian couldn't understand their logic.

"Although the country is small, it also depends on the courage and strategy of the commander-in-chief, as well as those insidious methods." Gu Zhichuan felt that Ouyang Qian was too superficial, and sighed, "A spark can start a prairie fire." ”

Because Ouyang Qian was very cooperative with the treatment and used all the good medicines, the injury on his buttocks was not a big deal after half a month, and he was just about to go to school when he was passed into the palace by Yuan Zhen.

"Qian'er, Deng Yin will be in the capital tomorrow, you and I will pick it up."

"So soon, tomorrow is coming?" Ouyang Qian asked suspiciously, "Isn't Deng Guo plotting to attack us?" ”

"How do you know this?" Yuan Zhen remembered that he hadn't mentioned this matter to him, and Ouyang Qian said, "Uncle Gu told me." ”

Yuan Zhen's eyes flashed with a slight detachment: "What did he tell you besides this?" ”

"Didn't say anything else."

Yuan Zhen didn't want to let him participate in national affairs now, but since Gu Zhichuan had already told him, he couldn't get the news from himself, and he would get it from elsewhere, so he was silent for a long time before he decided to discuss with him: "It was Deng Yin's message to me, saying that he was going to Yuan Kingdom to discuss political affairs, and saying that he wanted to discuss it was actually to test the bottom of me." Yuan Zhen studied it thoroughly and turned to look at him, and let out a contemptuous laugh softly, these gutless rats, do you really think that the wine bag and rice bag can come to find my bad luck? This time, I will give you a good-looking one, so that you can know who is the king who rules the world.

"What are my father's plans?" Ouyang Qian stepped forward to his side and looked up at him.

"Give him a dismount and let him know that tigers are not something to be provoked casually."

"Do you know what terms he wants to negotiate with you?"

"What else can we talk about? It's just a matter of getting me to reduce their tribute. Yuan Zhen's casual attitude made Ouyang Qian's heart feel uncertain, and he carefully looked at Yuan Zhen's expression, "Will you agree?" ”

"No, he only has one Deng Yan to use, and the rest are some waste, what qualifications does he have to fight with me?"

"......" Ouyang Qian looked at the small simulated battlefield, and now he couldn't understand those things at all, "Father-in-law, if they really conspire to attack the Yuan Kingdom, can you parry it?" ”

"Yuan is a big fat meat, all the countries around want to get a piece of the pie, these years the countries jointly attacked the Yuan country twice, the first nineteen years ago, Chu State, Zhu State, Qi State, Duan State and other more than a dozen countries, encroached on one-third of the land of the Yuan State, let me pay tribute every year, bow down to the courtiers, five years I took back the land of the Yuan State without a penny. Twelve years ago, Zhu State, Duan State and some small countries once again raised troops to capture Yuan State in one fell swoop, and not an inch of land was taken away from me. With them, they want to take the country from me? ”

The eyes of the stepfather looking at the world are really like a sacred and inviolable god, Ouyang Qian looked at him with his head held high with admiration, no matter how young or old the father-in-law is, in his heart, he has always been such a tall and majestic image, he is willing to use his life to support him and follow him.

Ouyang Qian remembered what happened to the barracks a while ago, and said, "When the child was still checking the theft of grain and grass in the barracks, do you still have an impression of the letter he wrote to you?" ”

"He Tie?"

"Yes, he ......"

"Don't be afraid."

The visiting procession was outside the city, and Deng Yin, who was still fifty meters away from the palace, waved them to stop, and walked to the gate of the palace on foot, Deng Yin was in front, the prince Deng Wen and the general Deng Yan were behind, and behind them were hundreds of soldiers. The people of the Yuan Kingdom gathered in two rows to see the excitement, and Deng Yin first took the lead and knelt: "The little king Deng Yin and the people of Deng Guo will see the emperor." "All the hundred soldiers knelt down," see the emperor. ”

"Hurry up, please." Yuan Zhen raised his hand and walked towards Deng Yin with a smile, "Why is King Deng so polite. That smile, as if I had seen a friend I hadn't seen for many years, had no flaws. Ouyang Qian thought to himself, being the emperor is really tired, he doesn't know when he is really happy, when he is pretending, and he is really uncomfortable wearing a mask all the time. The father-in-law has to promise in front of other kings back and forth in front of the courtiers, it is really tiring, I must understand something, I can't always let the father-in-law worry about it, the south wind is still young, and the temperament is not suitable for the government and the opposition, and he is destined to enter the career in the future to share the worries of the father-in-law, while he is young, he must learn more things, and he can help his father-in-law in the future.

Now Ouyang Qian doesn't have such big ambitions, he just wants to help his father-in-law solve those trivial things in the future, so that his father-in-law doesn't have to think so much.

"Deng Guo is a small country affiliated to the Yuan State, and it should be." Deng Yin also laughed, Deng Yin looked a little rough, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, high nose bridge, thick lips, and a look at his face, he had a tendency to get along with him, giving people a feeling of great brute force. Deng Yin then introduced, "Little Deng Wen, General Deng Yan, I have seen the emperor soon. ”

looked at Deng Yan behind him again, what a righteous atmosphere! Ouyang Qian was a little surprised that when he saw him for the first time, he felt that he was a promising man with great ambitions, and the righteousness revealed between his eyebrows and eyes could not deceive people's eyes.

Deng Yan seemed to feel that someone was looking at him, and as soon as his eyes turned to Ouyang Qian, the two of them happened to look at each other, and Ouyang Qian bowed slightly at him. Deng Yan pursed his lips, nodded stiffly and looked away, and it could be seen that he didn't like to get along with people very much.

"This is General Deng Yan?" Yuan Zhen also noticed Deng Yan and smiled appreciatively, "Nice young man, he looks pretty upright!" ”

Ouyang Qian thought to himself, his father-in-law thought the same as himself, and he felt that Deng Yan was a manufacturable material, and it would be better if he could take it for his own use, and if he could dig up this corner this time, it would not be in vain.

Deng Yan bowed to Yuan Zhen and hugged his fists: "Deng Yan has seen the emperor." ”

Yuan Zhen responded slightly, and a slight emotion flashed in his eyes, in fact, he had already heard of Deng Yan, a general who often wins. As long as he fights, no matter who the opponent is, he has never been defeated, and he is honest and has no gossip, Yuan Zhen likes him very much. But he is the king of a country, and it is not very good to do this kind of thing, although I really want him to use it for himself. Yuan Zhen didn't have a strong sense of this because of the emperor's face, just had some thoughts, and then subconsciously glanced at Ouyang Qian, Ouyang Qian looked at Yuan Zhen's eyes for so many years, and he had already figured out his temper, he glanced at Ouyang Qian to know what he meant, and squinted his eyes slightly, indicating that he knew. In fact, even if he didn't say it, Ouyang Qian also planned to ask him for instructions, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and with people, everything is easy to do.

Thinking about it, Ouyang Qian felt a little wilted again, why did he think about all the good things? When you see anything good, you want to go to the Yuan country, and there are never too many good ones.

Yuan Zhen led the way for Deng Yin: "King Deng, please." ”

"Please."

A spacious road quickly flashed on both sides, hundreds of soldiers followed behind Deng Yan, Ouyang Qian's eyes were deep, and the neat team was obviously strictly trained, and his wish since childhood was to be able to join the army, to be a majestic general, a spear to the ground to the ground, shocking all directions, no one dared to fight the idea of Yuan Guo again, how majestic! Thinking that he would train such an excellent team in the future, he laughed beautifully.

Deng Yin noticed that Ouyang Qian behind Yuan Zhen had an extraordinary temperament, so he asked out loud, "Who is this?" ”

"Little Ouyang Qian, I've seen King Deng soon." The voice of the righteous father's self-humility.

"No wonder Xiao Wang always feels that he has a sense of nobility, it turns out that it is His Royal Highness King Qian, and Xiao Wang is polite." Deng Yin bowed to Ouyang Qian, and Ouyang Qian hurriedly bowed in return, "Don't dare to be, Ziyi has seen King Deng." ”

Throne room

"Your Majesty, please take a seat. This time, Xiao Wang came to visit the emperor just to talk about the political affairs of the two countries. As you know, Deng is a small country......"

Just as he was talking about the critical moment, someone suddenly broke in regardless of etiquette: "Your Majesty——! "It's a guard in the palace.

Yuan Zhen instantly slapped his eyebrows on the table and got up: "Presumptuous!" Don't you see me talking about state affairs? Who let you break in! Deng Yin was also slightly angry, and heard him say again, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Qian and the prince of Deng Guo have fought......

"What?" Yuan Zhen strode out, "Lead the way!" ”
