Of course, Gao Changgong remembered all kinds of difficulties at the beginning of the founding of Jing Wu, which could really be described as "there are strong enemies outside, and there are troubles inside".

Of the 8,000 Qingzhou ghost riders who followed him on the expedition, more than 4,000 died in a foreign land, less than 4,000 remained, and more than 2,000 had to quit the army because of their injuries.

After the war, Zhuge Wanling raided the mansions of more than ten family officials, and the letters exchanged with the Tang State were found to be full of several large boxes...... And the names on these letters will obviously involve all aspects, and the matter is big, Zhuge Wanling is not easy to do, so he simply burned it in front of hundreds of officials.

This is also to appease people.

Gao Changgong shrugged his shoulders and sneered: "I'm afraid that Sun Zhong intends to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, right? Although this is inevitably suspicious of being punished, but the temperament of that old fox, if he really does things thoroughly, he will completely offend those families, and he will do such a loss-making deal?"

Zhuge Wanling nodded calmly and said, "It's best if you understand." ”

Seeing that the ink in the inkstone was already rich and black, he gently put down the ink block and said, "So...... Do you want Sun Ji'an...... Replace Sun Zhong?"

Zhuge Wanling nodded: "I don't believe that a person will really have no desires and no desires, Sun Ji'an has the ability, and he must have ambitions, but he has been pressed by Sun Zhong all these years, and he has no chance to show his edge, because he is not strong enough." And now, Dr. Goshi...... This is a good position to take the stage, and he already has the capital to fight against Sun Zhong. ”

"He dares to confront his father?" Gao Changgong said in slight surprise: "This is a big unfilial piety." ”

"If you are filial or not, you have to see how you do it. Zhuge Wanling said: "It's just to say a few words, let Sun Zhong know and make a place, and not kill him, Sun Ji'an will not be a pedantic person, just afraid that these 'few words', he will speak extremely high-sounding and impeccable." ”

"That'...... Do you really think he has the ability to replace Sun Zhong?"

"One is the imperial historian who is now in power, and the other is an old and frail old man, who has recently contracted the wind and cold and has not been able to get better, who do you think the scholars will choose?"

Gao Changgong nodded, followed by a smile, and even with a little mockery, he said, "Yes." However, in the future, as a doctor of imperial history, he has the responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials, although this power may not be used on your head, but the people below ...... But it's hard to do. ”

Speaking of this, he sat down beside Zhuge Wanling, solemnly patted him on the shoulder, and said, "When Gongjin complains to you, I won't help you stop it." ”

"That's my business. Since I can carry him up, I am naturally sure that I can control him. Zhuge Wanling said.

The matter has already been said, Zhuge Wanling lowered his head and was about to write an official document, but when he looked at the ink in the inkstone, he frowned, "I said that you are a dignified general, and you are outstanding in the martial arts world, but this ink is so unevenly sharpened, do you want to perfunctory me?"

“......”

Gao Changgong listened to it with relish, and he never thought that Zhuge Wanling would suddenly seize the matter of grinding his ink for a while, but he was not angry, smiled slightly, and said: "What's the matter? Now that you are in better health, you are thorny in your speech......?"

Zhuge Wanling looked at the ink block on the corner of the inkstone, thought about it, shook his head, and said: "Forget it, this ink is very difficult to use, I have also tried, and it has been uneven for a long time." ”

Gao Changgong helped his temples and said: "How can the ink from the palace workshop be difficult to use? It's just that if you want to grind this kind of ink clearly and evenly, you have to use clean water, so what's the matter if you pour a cup of tea in it? Also, even if you add water, it's better to have less than more, look at you, it's half a cup when you pour it, and you can grind it well to have a ghost." ”

The old eunuch stood silently, the candle flame could not shine on his face, and he did not move, like a wooden figure. But in the dark, there was a casual smile on the corner of his mouth, and he was happy to see that the two seemed to be arguing but actually had a deep relationship.

There are too few people who can accompany Zhuge Wanling, although he accompanies the prime minister every day, but he knows that he can only be a servant, and he can't be a friend of the prime minister.

With Gao Changgong often coming to talk with him, the spirit of the prime minister will be better. Thinking of this, the old eunuch turned his head to look at the candle flame again, and was worried for a while, it seems that the prime minister can't rest earlier today, and it is estimated that he will have to review the official document until the middle of the night before he can go to bed, right?

Urged by Zhuge Wanling, Gao Changgong had to pick up the ink block again, the grinding speed was much faster, and the expression on his face was much more serious, and after a while, Zhuge Wanling finally nodded with satisfaction, licked the brush in his hand to fill the ink, and slowly wrote on the official document.

As he wrote, he asked, "What did Sun Ji'an say...... What do you think?"

"Going north to help the Mo family? interesting...... Saying that he doesn't know anything about military affairs, if you think about it with your toes, you can hear that most of it is hidden, I don't have any opinion, and the rest is up to you to arrange. Gao Changgong picked up a brush and gently rotated it with his fingertips, and wrote in an understatement: "If you let me go, I will go." ”

If you let me go, I'll go.

Seven words, but it contains his absolute trust in Zhuge Wanling.

"That'...... Just go for it. Zhuge Wanling raised his eyebrows slightly, and continued to write: "First train those war horses, and the old army that has been cut down cannot be lost, and the new army can be pulled to the border of the Tang Kingdom to experience the experience...... At the latest next year's Mid-Autumn Festival, there will be a big move in the sea of the Tang Kingdom. ”

"It's just that if all the ghost horsemen in Qingzhou are taken away by then, how should the border be fortified? Although we all think that the alliance of the Canghai Tang Kingdom will attack the Mo family in the future, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not divide a force to attack our Jingwu, so as to distract our attention, we must send someone who can be trusted. ”

"You don't have to worry about that. Zhuge Wanling didn't raise his head, and said: "Gongjin is the person I taught, although he is not as good as you, but he may not be able to become a handsome talent in the future, and he can be handed over to him to guard now, and there will be no mistakes." ”

"It's fine. Gao Changgong suddenly seemed to think of something, and said, "By the way, you said last time that you wanted me to teach those baby soldiers......

In his opinion, although the students in these schools have achieved academic success, in addition to outstanding people like Sun Qing, ordinary students still need more opportunities to exercise before they can come in handy in the future war.

Zhuge Wanling also has the same opinion, so the preliminary plan is to let Zhou Gongjin take them to the border to experience the fierceness of the battlefield and wash away the last bit of "milky smell" on their bodies.

"It's okay to let Gongjin take it, it doesn't have to be me. Gao Changgong said with a smile: "In my opinion, the Tang State's southern army can't bear to be lonely, and there will always be some wolf smoke on the border...... It's just that if you really go to the battlefield, your life is at stake, can you bear it?"

Zhuge Wanling said calmly: "Real gold is not afraid of fire. If you want to refine gold, you have to use the fiercest fire. ”

"The fiercest fire...... You're not afraid that they will all melt away......" Gao Changgong shook his head helplessly, while remembering Ah Ke and Ah Bu, who had not received news for a long time, and said with a smile: "If they can all be like Ah Ke and Ah Bu, they will be able to turn evil into good fortune...... Speaking of which, I don't know where Ah Ke is now, whether they are okay or not. ”

Zhuge Wanling didn't answer his words, but continued to write the official document, and said calmly: "Don't worry, I will only pick the Taixue Hall to study for more than two years, and if it is less than two years, let them continue to study in the Taixue Hall and lay a good foundation." ”

"Since Sun Ji'an wants his son to make meritorious contributions in the war in the future, I will not stop him, it is better to let these children go too, as for whether they can make meritorious deeds in the future, it depends on themselves. ”

"In order to restrain Sun Qing, why don't you just let the children of Taixue Hall share the credit?" Gao Changgong wanted to persuade again, but Zhuge Wanling glanced up, but blocked all his words back into his throat.

"That's fine. Gao Changgong shook his head helplessly, "Sometimes I think you are really ruthless, a bunch of children, but you throw them into the mud and leave them to fend for themselves without blinking an eye." ”

Speaking of which, Ah Ke and Ah Bu have not yet reached the age of weak crowns, but Gao Changgong thought of the night he took them to suppress the bandits before, so he pursed his lips and didn't say anything more.

Zhuge Wanling continued to write the paperwork, and said indifferently: "If they are not willing to be ordinary people for a lifetime, they must take out the wisdom and courage that ordinary people do not have, hold the knife, grit their teeth and fight, I don't sympathize with them, because they have already chosen this path, since this is the case, there is no need to turn back." ”

Gao Changgong was stunned for a moment, but what he thought in his heart was: Are you talking about that group of children, or are you talking about yourself?
