After returning to the Frost Snow Building, Shao Xi talked about the matter to Lao Wu, but Lao Wu didn't think there was anything strange.

When Lao Wu was a secret agent in the "Jing Cheng Division", he knew that it was a norm for various ministries and departments of the imperial court to plant hidden piles among each other.

All the ministries of the DPRK and the Central Committee want to secretly learn some secrets of other ministries and departments through the hidden stakes they have planted, and at the same time, they also want to find out whether their secrets have been mastered by other ministries. As a result, the various ministries of the DPRK and China appear to be at peace with each other on the surface, but in fact there is an undercurrent surging and they are monitoring each other.

At the beginning, it was through the horizontal contact with the secret piles of various ministries that Lao Wu discovered the private secrets of many officials in various ministries. It was also by using the information obtained through this means that Feng Changlin helped to eliminate a group of traitors and traitors in the court.

"Lao Wu, you said that it has been a norm for the various ministries of the DPRK and the Central Committee to plant hidden stakes among each other, so do you think they dare to plant hidden stakes around the Holy One? Does the Holy One know about this? ”

Lao Wu sneered lightly, "Young Master, you underestimate this group of guys too much, they are no longer daring or not, but how many people have been placed around the Holy Master." Don't look at their superficial vows to the saint, secretly no one knows what they have in their stomachs. ”

"Hearing you say this, the Holy One should be aware of these things, but why didn't the Holy One remove all these hidden stakes around him? Isn't it dangerous to keep these people around? ”

"Stinky boy, do you think the Holy One will be dumber than you? Even you can think of leaving the irrelevant dark stake and going to find the upper house along the vine, do you think the saint will not? Even you know that you don't know the fake, keep the secret stake by your side, and pass on the fake news at the critical moment, do you think the saint can't think of this? ”

Shao Xi grinned.

What is cunning and cunning? What does it mean to be scheming? The old boy of the emperor seemed to be confused on the surface, but it turned out to be a dumb bean eater - he knew it in his heart. It looks like I'm still too young, and it turns out that all I think of is what people are playing with, and that seat in the main hall is really not something that anyone can sit on!

"Humph! It seems that all the officials in this court have their own thoughts, and there are few who are truly loyal to the saints, but they are all safeguarding their own interests. ”

Lao Wu raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a slight loss in his tone: "Their interests are just the benefits stolen from the holy country, and those who are truly loyal to the saint, safeguard the interests of the saint, and safeguard the interests of the people in the world will inevitably become a thorn in their side and a thorn in the flesh." These were the people who wanted to skin and brace your father because he was loyal to the Holy One, and in their eyes he deserved to die. ”

"Uh——! Can you tell me which of my fathers it is? ”

"Huh? Oh! Sorry, I forgot! I'm talking about the owner. ”

Shao Xi felt depressed for a while, this has an extra pair of fathers and mothers, and when he talks about this topic, he often gets confused.

"Old Wu, since the Holy Lord knows in his heart that there are so many moths and evil guys around him, what do you think the Holy Lord will do?"

"Do nothing."

"Nothing? Are you mistaken? How do you solve the problem if you don't do anything? ”

"Do you think that being an emperor is like being a nurse, eating and everything? As a monarch, you just need to sit on it, quietly watch the people below perform, know everything, and don't need to suppress those restless, just cultivate a rival for him. ”

Shao Xi looked disdainful, "Speaking of which, isn't it a technique of checks and balances?" The old-fashioned routine, won't the emperor order anything else? ”

Lao Wu stretched his waist and said lazily: "Don't care about the old and old-fashioned, this hand will work, if you want to sit firmly in the country, it is natural to use the most effective and safe means, like you, who want to be a little different from time to time, maybe one day you will accidentally play yourself to death." ”

"Hey! You can rest assured! I won't play myself to death if I play anyone to death, don't think I don't understand anything, I have a few worms in my stomach, and I won't let others know about it. ”

"Cut! I don't know your other skills, but I have seen your braggart skills since I was a child, and I don't know who will call Lao Wu when he encounters something that can't be solved. ”

Shao Xi was suddenly anxious by Lao Wu's words, and pointed at Lao Wu with an unconvinced face and said, "You, you can't drink boiling water in your life." ”

When Lao Wu heard this, he was puzzled.

"Why can't I drink boiled water in my life?"

"You old thing like which pot you don't open and which pot you don't mention, do you think you can drink boiling water?"

Lao Wu was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he laughed, and his tears almost burst out of his eyes. The heart said, what is this kid thinking about in his head all day long? Who did you learn this from?

Shao Xi saw that he couldn't beat Lao Wu at this time, so he simply changed the topic.

"Today's Shangyuan Festival, there are lantern festivals everywhere in Daliang City at night, I have made an appointment with Bai Jinqing and a few people to go to the lantern festival tonight, you can also take Ning'er and me with you!"

"Come on! You sour literati get together either because of it, or because of the poetry, I really can't afford it, old man, you go to visit you at night, I'll take Ning'er to go shopping by myself, but I can also be at ease. ”

Shao Xi felt a little unhappy in his heart, and asked Lao Wu angrily: "Old guy, now that you have Ning'er, you don't like to take care of me, do you?" Don't forget, you will have to rely on me for your retirement in the future! ”

Lao Wu glared angrily, "Oops! You dead boy! All day long, you hope that I will grow old and die soon, right? Besides, when did I say that I wanted you to give me a pension? Ning'er's girl is much more sensible than you, and she can give me a pension in the future, don't think that no one wants the old man. ”

Shao Xi was anxious when he heard this, "Oh, I'll go!" You're an old thing with the opposite sex and no humanity, and now you don't want grandchildren when you have granddaughters, don't you? With a thoughtful little padded jacket, I think my padded robe is dirty and old, right? ”

Lao Wu was stunned by Shao Xi's words, stared at him for a long time, and suddenly said, "What did you just say?" What do you say you are mine? ”

Shao Xi's face turned red, and finally took out two pieces of silver from his arms, raised his hand and threw them into Lao Wu's arms, got up and walked out of the room.

Before leaving, he also threw down a sentence, "What do you like to think is what you like, remember to buy more delicious and fun with Ning'er at night." ”

Lao Wu picked up the two pieces of silver, checked them in his hand, and gradually piled up his smile on the wrinkled old face.

"This stinky boy is actually competing with Ning'er for favor! I treat Ning'er as my granddaughter, and he is still not happy! It's good, it's good! After so many years, I finally didn't hurt this kid in vain. ”

Shao Xi's sentence that slipped out of his mouth "If you have a granddaughter, you don't want a grandchild", Lao Wu didn't know how happy he was after listening to it.

He spent half of his life wandering the rivers and lakes, never married a wife and had children, and spent almost the rest of his life in the Feng family. For so many years, he has never forgotten that he is just a servant in front of his young master, and he has never expected the young master to call himself "grandpa" one day.

I still remember that when I first met Zhuo Ligetu and others on the grassland, the young master was just pretending to be his uncle.

Now, Shao Xi's words are not just as simple as identifying with his family's identity, but treating him as a relative with blood and blood.

"It's worth it! Just this kid's words, it's worth the hardships he has endured for so many years! In the future, even if you take this old life, it will be worth it! ”

In fact, for so many years, Lao Wu and Shao Xi have been the same, both of them have no relatives around them, and they have long regarded each other as their relatives. This family affection has nothing to do with blood, but spiritual interdependence and spiritual mutual dependence.

Looking at the two pieces of silver in his hand, it seems that it is no longer just silver, but a heavy family affection.

When Shao Xi walked out of the room, it was already the beginning of the lights.

I saw Bai Jinqing and a few people coming from the direction of the gate with happy faces, they have lived here for a few days, they are quite familiar with the subordinates, and now they don't need to report when they come to the Frost and Snow Building.

As soon as he saw him, Bai Jinqing excitedly told Shao Xi about the situation after the few people returned to the academy, and he couldn't see the image of the indifferent son at all.

"Brother Shao, I have good news! When we returned to the academy, we told our two grandfathers about the idea of opening a paper mill, a printing room, and a bookstore, and they praised our idea, were willing to give us their full support, and said that if all went well, we hoped that it would be implemented throughout Jingyuan country. ”

Zheng Yuanxiu's quick mouth hurriedly grabbed the words: "Yes, yes! The old master said that our move is for the benefit of the world, and it is to make a contribution to the opening of the people's wisdom that will go down in history, and the names of several of us in future generations will be written in books and engraved on stone tablets. ”

Han Shaoguang raised his hand and patted Zheng Yuanxiu's head, and said angrily: "Even if it is written in the book, it must be engraved on the stone tablet, do you know whose name is engraved on the stone tablet?" O dead man! What are you excited about here? ”

Among the several people, Hu Yushan was the oldest, and reminded a few people: "I said that you don't get so excited as soon as you come, don't you think it's rude to throw Miss Liu aside?" We are all people who have read the books of the sages, how can we be so out of shape when things happen? ”

Hu Yushan's words reminded everyone, and they saw several people shut up apologetically.

At this time, Liu Ling had the opportunity to come forward to greet Shao Xi, and said: "Since the last time Shao Gongzi came to visit his grandfather at home, the little girl knows that the son is by no means an ordinary person. Shao Gongzi persuaded the masters of all families in the palace to create the study of governing the world, and then fought foreign envoys, and won the competition with the warriors of Nan Zhao, and now he has created this bamboo paper and movable type printing technique, and also thought of the idea of opening a bookstore, which can really be said to be a rare talent in the world, and it is no wonder that the saint is so important to the son. ”

Shao Xi is usually a very thick-skinned person, but at this time, when he was praised by Liu Ling like this, his face was flushed, and he was embarrassed.

"Whatever there is, it's a fluke."

Several other people were all stunned when they saw Shao Xi's reaction.

Where is Shao Xi, who is sharp and eloquent on weekdays?
