"Thank you Master for your concern, I'm fine." Meng Changqing put the notebook in the package on the desk.

Zong Ruwen took it and looked at it, "Your words have grown a lot better than before." Zong Ruwen said, "In the past, your handwriting was really not good, you looked like a decent but no bones, there was always an awkward energy, but now it is much better, it seems that people still have to go through training." He lifted Meng Changqing's bound book, "Put it first, I'll look at it when you're gone." ”

"Sit and talk."

Meng Changqing sat down on a chair near Zong Ruwen,

"How are you doing in Liangzhou?" Zong Ru sniffed and pointed to the small stove in the corner where tea was boiling, and the tea on the stove was just boiling.

Meng Changqing was very eye-catching, and immediately went over to pick it up, found the tea cup on the shelf, and poured a cup of tea for Zong Ruwen and herself.

"It's been a lot better lately." Meng Changqing said, "Master, I don't say empty words to you, when I first arrived there, I really wanted to turn around and come back, but there was no way, didn't I have no way out." ”

Zong Ru heard this: "There is no way to make such a fuss, if you have a way, what kind of situation does it have to be?" ”

Meng Changqing smiled bitterly, "The apprentice has no other way to go." ”

"Your Majesty knows your every move in Liangzhou." Zong Ru looked at Meng Changqing as he spoke, "How are you getting along with those Imperial Forest Soldiers around you?" I'm talking about the ones who went to Liangzhou with you. ”

Meng Changqing nodded, "We get along well." ”

"That's good. But with your temper, as long as others don't target you, you can get along well. ”

Meng Changqing smiled and said, "Master Xie praises." ”

Zong Ruwen laughed twice, "I don't want to praise you, you have always been sober-minded, why did you do such a thing this time?" ”

"What did Master say about pulling people from other counties?"

Zong Ruwen said: "You know what your situation is, although the family has old glory, but these glory is really nothing in the face of actual interests. Why? There's really no better way? ”

"There's really no other way." Meng Changqing explained, "There is a lack of population in the entire Liangzhou, and the goal I want to achieve will inevitably harm their interests, and this matter will not look good." ”

Zong Ruwen pushed the teacup to the side, and Meng Changqing immediately went over to add tea.

Zong Ru took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Wei Fangyun, this person has been in the border for a long time, and he basically has nothing to do with the officials in the capital, he is willing to help you in this matter, even I am surprised." ”

"Master Wei is a military attaché, and according to his own words, he used to be taken care of by my father, or because of his old feelings, he took care of me as a nephew."

"There are many people who are taken care of by your father, and there are many in Beijing, who have taken care of you over the years?" Zong Ruwen added, "Of course, those who resign from their official positions to work as guards in your home don't count.

General Meng fought bravely, was upright and refreshing, when he was alive, many people were better with him, but after his death, the people who really remembered General Meng's kindness were already by your side.

This Lord Wei, you have to judge carefully, what is behind you that he likes? ”

"Clear-eyed people know that I am deeply involved with the crown prince, but Lord Wei is at the border, there is no need to be involved in the prince, it can only be Your Majesty, he thinks Your Majesty values me."

"What the teacher told you, you have to think about everything from different angles." Zong Ruwen prompted, "Must be someone behind you?" If the goal is too specific, things may not be necessary.

The emperor is a power, and the crown prince is a power under the emperor, and there are some overlaps and some differences between them, but don't forget, there is more than just the prince's party and government and the competition for the throne. ”

Meng Changqing said: "The dispute between civil and military? ”

"It's always the right to fight, but if you stand on that side, you will be fighting for the benefit of whoever you are fighting for." Zong Ruwen said, "In the past, when you replied to the emperor, you once said that the civil and military sides are like a pair of legs with the imperial court, no matter which side is short, it is not beneficial to the imperial court.

The truth you could understand at the time, how many important officials of the court pretended not to know.

As a civil servant, even if I know something, I can't say it to the emperor.

You said it without scruples, but it happened to be in line with the emperor's wishes, so the emperor thought you were very good and was willing to let the prince stay with you.

But the emperor also thinks that the reason why you see it so thoroughly is probably because you are not in it, you are not troubled by your identity, and you have never been lured by interests. ”

Zong Ru remembered the old incident a few years ago, and couldn't help but sigh: "Since then, the emperor has already decided your official position. It's just that the emperor didn't expect that you would take office in such a hurry. ”
