In the main hall of the grass tree hall, Niu sat behind the desk, Tang Jiusheng also sat behind the desk, there were four dishes on the desk, two jue wines, the dishes were quite rich, there were fish, meat and vegetables, the two of them sat behind the desk, looking at each other. Behind Niu Mandi stood Wu Chao, and behind Tang Jiusheng stood Cheng Zifei. Jin Chengzhang and Fat Man, Shui Ruyue, Xiahou Lingyu, and Ning Chenggang all sat behind the desk, and everyone had wine and food in front of them.

Niu looked Tang Jiusheng up and down all over the ground, snorted in his nose, and said disdainfully: "What King Wei, before I saw you, I thought you were so heroic, what a man who stood up to the sky, but it turned out to be just a little kid!

Tang Jiusheng didn't mind Niu Mandi's disrespectful words, he sat opposite Niu Mandi with a big grin, drank a sip of Jingquan wine, and asked with the same disdain: "This is not level! Then what can you say if you lose to a little brat?" Could it be that you are a waste, not even a little brat?"

Niu exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity on the ground, and said contemptuously: "Did I lose to you? My subordinates have all surrendered to you, what can I do? I can't personally lead the troops into battle to fight you with a scholar, right? Hey, my subordinate generals are all unconscious things, and they all have backbones in the back of their heads!"

Tang Jiusheng raised his eyelids, chuckled, and asked again: "Then why did all your subordinates surrender to me, why didn't any of my subordinates surrender to you? Could it be that you are full of poetry and books, but you don't understand the truth that you have much help for the righteous and little help for the unjust? Your books have all been read to dogs? Your age has also lived to be like dogs?"

Niu Mandi sneered: "I only know that the prince and the loser are thieves, if I lose today, the history books will scold me for being a thief and a thief...... There's a lot of praise to say, hehe, do you think that's the case?"

Tang Jiusheng shook his head, "Niu is full of land, you are wrong! Even if you are lucky enough to ascend the throne, people in later generations will still scold you, and there will still be historians who will write down that when Niu Mandi was the envoy of Jiannan Dao, there were people everywhere, and wherever there were mountains, there were people who fell into the grass." No matter whether a person is good or bad, this is not recorded in the history books with his status, and so many traitors in troubled countries have not all been nailed to the pillar of shame? Only loyal ministers and filial sons will leave a good name in history, and even if you have power in the world, you are just a chaotic minister and thief!"

Niu Mandi frowned, "Tang Jiusheng, you are a young ghost, I don't believe that Yang Jingzhong, who is known as the emperor, will leave a good name in the history books after a hundred years, I just did what he didn't dare to do, I firmly believe that as long as I succeed, the history books will be rewritten, what kind of loyal ministers and filial sons you say, but those defenders made up to deceive those fools and fools!"

Tang Jiusheng laughed loudly, "Cattle are all over the ground, you are also a person who was born in Jinshi and has read the books of sages and sages, how can you say such stupid words? Are you just a person born in a cow herding baby, relying on your own smart brain, your own efforts, step by step to show talents, raise people, and jinshi, and then release the county and county guards, and finally become a feudal official, why don't you know how to cherish blessings? Why don't you know how to cherish the grace of the imperial court?"

Niu Manchu sandwiched a piece of braised carp meat from the Lushui River, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and then said slowly: "Tang Jiusheng, I am most dissatisfied with you and Yin Quan, you, relying on your own being the son of the national teacher, were lucky enough to get the title of King Wei, and Yin Quan is the same, relying on the blessings accumulated by his ancestors, he became the king of Pingxi." You are all just relying on your father, what ability do you have to dominate my head? Ah? I have relied on my own ability to survive step by step to the point where I am today, what do you have worthy of my admiration? Let's change positions, maybe you are still herding cattle in the countryside!"

Tang Jiusheng looked at Niu Mandi, as if he was looking at a fool, and sneered: "This is the funniest joke I have ever heard, when I was thirteen years old, I was the civil and military double lifter of Tianchang Mansion, two second placers, you should also understand, what is going on with my two second places, it's just that I don't want to be Xie Yuan! With my intelligence, is it difficult to be an official? Not to mention that I still have a father who is a national teacher, even if I don't take any exams, I will not be a proper hereditary national teacher in the future? But is that what I want?"

Tang Jiusheng pointed to the nose of the cow all over the ground again, "Besides, you idiot, you can be the county magistrate, the county guard, and finally the envoy, if the emperor does not agree with you to sit in that position, can you? Just like I became the king of Wei today, if the emperor does not agree, can I become the king of Wei?

Niu Man's face was pale, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything, everyone listened quietly, and no one said a word. Tang Jiusheng slapped his chopsticks heavily on the desk, and said: "Your position as a strategic envoy, you can do the same if you change someone else, don't think that you are so bullish and capable, if you change someone, you may not be able to govern Jiannan Dao into this virtue, maybe you are still a good official who is loyal to the monarch and patriotic! Do you think I can afford you?"

Wu Chao protested and said: "Tang Jiusheng, don't think how great you are, if you don't have that good father, you will be a fart Wei Wang! I don't even accept you, let alone my lord!"

Tang Jiusheng deliberately rubbed his nose twice with the thumb of his right hand, spread his hands, and said with a smile: "Don't say it, if I don't have a father who is a national teacher, I really can't be this Wei King! But so what? On the martial arts, I won't lose, just like you, my mother who beat you casually doesn't know you!" You see, I can lift people, I can be the king of Wei, my martial arts are good, my reputation is big, I am more handsome than you and the cows, and I have defeated your master, I also have a few beautiful daughters-in-law, a group of brothers who can fight, look at it, you see, people are more angry than people!"

Wu Chao glared angrily, "Tang Jiusheng, you! you! you ......"

The fat man listened on the sidelines, laughing and almost rolling, "Oh my old Tang, you are too bad to speak!"

Niu Mandu said in a deep voice: "Tang Jiusheng, I don't want to quarrel with you, the reason why I want to rebel in the end is because I don't want to lose, I finally survived to the position of the envoy, but the position of the envoy cannot be passed on to his children and grandchildren, he is not a prince, he cannot be hereditary, I am really afraid of poverty, I am afraid, I don't want my son to suffer so much when I was a child!"

Niu Mandi pointed to the food placed in various places in the hall of grass and trees, and said loudly: "Look at bacon, ham, pastries, dry food, preserves...... Do you know why I saved so much food? Have you ever had the experience of not having enough to eat when you were a child, often waking up hungry, and even stealing sweet potatoes from other people's fields? You were born in the National Teacher's Mansion and have no worries about food and clothing, you don't understand the feeling that once I am promoted and admitted to the Jinshi and become an official, I can finally eat enough and let my family eat fish and meat with me! You can't understand it at all!

Niu stood up excitedly and pointed to his heart, "To say a word of conscience, deep down in my heart, I will always feel that I am a poor person, and I may lose these glory and wealth at any time, because these things are given to me by others, and others can take them away at any time! I am fed up with the bullying of others, and I am fed up with the white eyes of others, just because I am a cowherd baby from a mountain village! I am an official, and my colleagues will laugh at me, and even His Majesty the Emperor will look down on me and give me the nickname of the cattle herding county guard!" I don't want to be poor anymore, so I want to go further! I want to have the world so that I can feel at ease! I don't want the next generation to suffer like I did when I was a child!"

Tang Jiusheng nodded, "Cattle are all over the ground, some of your words are right, but you are inevitably extreme! Even if you don't have a good father, haven't you survived to this position today? Children and grandchildren have no blessing and no ability, even if you do a family business for a huge empire, he will defeat you, children and grandchildren are blessed and capable, you are the bare ass who makes him poor, and he can also give you a strategy! Aren't you yourself a living example? Why are you confused? What if others look down on you? Are you living for the eyes of others?"

Niu Mandi sat back in front of the case, and suddenly said with a smile: "Wei Wang Chitose, can I choose my own way to die?" Although I am a felony of rebellion, I don't want to be Ling Chi!"
