The wind is slightly fragrant, and the early heat is driven away, and people are cool.

Liu Ben walked over, and suddenly saw the nursery rhyme in Liu Gan's hand, and he knew it in his heart.

"Father, this is not a good volume, it is useless to read more!"

Liu Ben walked to Liu Gan's side, smiled at Liu Gan, gently took away the plain yellow paper that insulted Liu Gan, and gently tore it off, and then said with disdain, "This kind of evil crooked way can't reach the hall of elegance, it is obvious that someone is behind the scenes, wanting to put my father in an unrighteous place first, and then put my father to death." ”

"When my father said that he wanted to keep a low profile, he would keep a low profile, but your mother and you were not allowed!"

Liu Qian smiled bitterly, "Sixty-six years old, Hades, this is to eat my meat!" ”

It turned out that although Liu Gan was greedy for money in his life, he was greedy for money, and he never disdained the clumsy trick of 'accepting gold and silver in the name of a banquet', but this year is the year of his Liushun, under the insistent plea of his wife Le Yao and son Liu Ben, Liu Gan still made an exception to set up 66 tables of flowing water banquets, and the banquet lasted for three days before he was willing to stop.

There are many noble families, many powerful families, and rich families.

Taiwei set up a banquet, who would dare not come? If you go to a banquet, who dares to give a light salute?

In three days, the gold, silver and jade ornaments, splendid flower carvings of Taiwei Mansion, and the guests who came and went to give gifts lined up at the gate of the mansion, endlessly at the end of the alley, causing a sensation in the entire Chang'an City.

Even though Liu Qian's three orders were not allowed to accept gifts, he still did not block the swept gold and silver.

The visitors saw that Liu Gan's housekeeper did not accept it, so these people simply stuffed a small strip in the banquet, randomly found a wall and threw it into the house, and then swaggered into the door.

This wave of riotous operations was watched by the people of Chang'an, which was called a relish.

The pendulum will swing.

On the second day of the banquet, this nursery rhyme quietly spread all over the streets and alleys, and someone secretly added fuel to the fire, and the dirty things that Liu Gan couldn't get on the stage over the years were all swept out of the stomach, and the storyteller said it openly and secretly, and after a few days, the entire Chang'an City was already angry, and regarded Liu Gan as gluttonous.

After Liu Gan heard Liu Ben speak, he sighed, and suddenly, he grinned and said, "Which one of you is not climbing up by stepping on someone's head?" There are too many people who want to bring down your father! It seems that this time, these people want to completely fight your father. ”

Liu Ben pondered, "Why don't you collect the banquet gifts, swagger through the market, and send them back generously?" ”

"My son, don't you take off your pants and fart!"

Liu Gan glared at Liu Ben and shook his head, this is a good thing, it's just too real, these years, it's really hard, people will call you a big fool, you will be called a big fool every day, after a long time, you will really become a big fool.

However, there is one person in the world who likes a simple fool like Liu Ben, and that is Liu Yan, the son of heaven.

Liu Ben scratched his head, puzzled by his father's words.

"You! There is also a Ming Jun on the stall, otherwise, you would have let the gang in the court eat so much that there are no scum left! ”

Liu Gan scolded with a smile, and saw that Liu Ben was puzzled, so he patiently explained, "You must be good and fruitful in doing things, and if you don't accept the courtesy, you will refuse immediately." How can there be any reason to return after the fact? If you return it afterwards, the giver has no face, hatred, and self-restraint, and the onlookers will definitely feel that the old man is making a show! It's not going to be easy. Affection is greater than the law, and etiquette is greater than affection, which is the principle. ”

Liu Ben nodded deeply, expressing understanding, and then asked unwillingly, "Then, let's just let others ride on our necks and?" ”

Liu Qian scolded with a smile, "Little rabbit cub, you don't even know who is behind the scenes, what else can you do?" ”

Liu Ben was silent.

"If things are strong, they are old, but they are not Tao, and they are not Tao. Isn't that all the things of heaven and earth like this? Others will never see you well, as long as you live better than him, there will always be people who come out to fish your eyes. This truth, whether it is ordinary people or dignitaries, cannot escape. ”

Liu Ben nodded and sighed, "Hey! It's all jealousy! ”

Liu Qian sat up, wanted to stand up and straighten his waist, but his legs were lying a little numb, the old man tried to stand up a few times, but he didn't stand up, so he glared at Liu Ben next to him, and said angrily, "Little rabbit, what do you see?" Hurry up and help you up! Guy who doesn't have eyesight! ”

Liu Ben smiled innocently and patted Lao Liu Gan on the shoulder a few times, "Dad, with your literary talent, it is not an exaggeration to be a literati in the immortal realm." But depending on your fiery temper when you get on fire, you don't enter the country, that's it! ”

With Liu Ben's support, Liu Gan got up and moved his hands and feet, and scolded with a smile, "Stinky boy, don't you make fun of your father?" ”

Liu Ben gently stroked Liu Gan's shoulder from behind, and said honestly, "How dare you, my father!" ”

Liu Gan, who has been in trouble all his life in front of the world, can educate such a respectful, thrifty, good, and filial son, and his family education can be seen.

The father and son chatted for a while, and after three cups of tea, they gradually began to get to the point.

I saw Liu Gan raise his arm slightly, point to the door of the mansion with his old hand, and say, "Son! Although there is a battle, courage is the foundation; Although the scholar has learned, he has the best deeds; Although officials have ranks, they are profit-oriented. Your father and I have been crisscrossing the sea for many years, sending away countless heroes and sitting firmly in the temple, the biggest reason for this is not to forget the roots. ”

Liu Ben guessed, "The 'Ben' in my father's mouth refers to Zhongjun? ”

Liu Qian smiled in surprise, "Yo! Silly boy! It's enlightened! ”

Liu Ben still smirked innocently, and immediately asked Liu Gan, "Father, what did you just say, what is the connection with this 'nursery rhyme' incident?" ”

Liu Gan craned his back and squinted his eyes, like a shrewd businessman, "Son! Everything is connected, and the person who stumbles behind his back must have interests with the old man. ”

Liu Ben, a fierce general on the battlefield, was really like a child in front of Liu Gan, he pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice, "In Chang'an City, there are not 10,000 but 8,000 people who have interests with my father. ”

Liu Gan showed an expression of hatred for iron and steel, and reprimanded lightly, "Silly boy, when will your political mind mature!" ”

Liu Ben smiled quietly, "Hehe, what my father said is very true. But, Father, would you like to hear from your son? ”

Liu Qian pursed his lips slightly, "How many good farts can you hold back?" Say it! ”

Liu Ben smiled, his expression suddenly became very serious, and said, "The art of war is cloudy: the virtual is real, the real is virtual, in the case of the enemy is strong and I am weak, it is better to show the enemy to be false, it is better to show the enemy to be real, the battle array is like this, and the temple mediation is also the same." ”

Liu Gan's eyes suddenly became a little strange.

......

For a long time, Liu Gan has only been a bysider to Liu Ben's career because of his special status, and does not make any comments and helps, Liu Ben is also happy to grow savagely, who would have thought, such a long time, and let his Liu family have a real power general, which uses back the sentence that Liu Gan just sighed: This is really the luck of the family!

In Liu Gan's heart, he may only regard Liu Ben as his son, and always feel that he is not full of wings and does not work firmly, and he always feels that Liu Ben lacks fire and needs his own earnest teaching.

But just now, after Liu Gan listened to what Liu Ben said, he actually had a new understanding of his son.

The temple and the sea, the highest wind and waves in Gyeonggi, even if the background and strength are as strong as themselves, they have also had several ups and downs in it, and they have tasted this taste, and Liu Ben, this kid, without relying on his own help to coordinate the operation, single-handedly, from a small general, all the way up, only took fifteen years, to achieve the tiger power in the twelve guards.

What will be Tiger Might? That is the top general among the twelve guards personally selected by the Son of Heaven, and he is one of the most favored generals of the Son of Heaven, and his status is by no means comparable to that of a border general!

All this is obtained, can you say that this Liu Ben is just relying on the emperor's grace? Can it be said that this is only because of the green smoke coming from the ancestral tomb? Can it be said that Liu Ben, a seemingly honest and silly boy, has no political art in his head?

......

After thinking about it, Liu Qian straightened his waist slightly and listened attentively.

I saw Liu Ben walking around Liu Gan's side from behind Liu Gan, standing side by side with Liu Gan, and said softly, "Nowadays, the Son of Heaven is powerful, the family is powerful, and the Han family is powerful, in contrast, the royal clan is declining, especially after the rebellion of the feudal kings forty years ago, the two generations of the Son of Heaven basically did not select and appoint the children of the clan surnamed Liu to enter the temple in Gyeonggi. ”

Liu Gan held on to the railing with one hand, "Within a hundred years, it will be rare for the clan to be reused, this is a certainty." ”

Liu Ben's eyes shone brightly, and he looked at Liu Gan with a smile, "So, my father, in this sensitive period, if a child of the clan like me wants to ascend to the throne, what should I do?" ”

Liu Qian suddenly understood Liu Ben's way of being an official, and said with a laugh, "Give people the truth, and exchange sincerity for sincerity?" ”

Liu Ben nodded seriously, squinted his eyes and said, "The Son of Heaven is wise, he is an emperor through the ages, above the court, there are not a few clever and capable ministers, and playing scheming and fighting wits and courage with such a person is tantamount to seeking his own death." If you want to capture the Sacred Heart, you can only be a honest and upright courtier in the eyes of the world, and in this way, you may have a chance to get ahead. ”

Liu Ben smiled and sighed, "Actually, my son was right." In order to balance the situation and stabilize the hearts of all parties, His Majesty still placed a few capable and honest clan disciples in Gyeonggi, among them, there is your son and me! ”.

When Liu Ben said this again, Liu Gan's expression changed from indifference to surprise, from surprise to surprise, after Liu Ben spoke, Liu Gan suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled, the laughter came from the bottom of his heart, penetrating people's hearts.

After Liu Gan smiled, Liu Ben regained his naïve attitude, and he asked Liu Gan in a humble voice, "Father, do you think that your son's theory can't be elegant?" ”

"Nope! No! No! Liu Gan hurriedly waved his hand, "I have been in politics for my father all my life, and I have read countless people, but this is a rare and extremely unique temple politics that my father has heard!" ”

Appreciated by his father, Liu Ben smirked as if he had eaten honey.

Liu Gan patted Liu Ben's shoulder fiercely and sighed, "The traitor is like loyalty, wisdom is foolish, and I am inferior to my son when it comes to speculating on people's hearts!" ”
