Yan Dufei was taken aback, you must know that since Ming Taizu killed Prime Minister Hu Weiyong, he abolished the prime minister system and replaced the authority that originally belonged to the left and right prime ministers with six parts. Ming Chengzu also set up a pavilion scholar, with great power, and actually played the role of prime minister. Yan Dufei didn't expect that this small Gu family's old store would have a university scholar to visit.

I saw that Liu Kang was an old dragon, and he was still trembling under the support of the two maidservants, and it seemed that he would fall down with every step. His eyes were slightly open, his eyes were cloudy, but the corners of his eyes were piled up with dark yellow eye droppings, and a servant girl held a silk handkerchief in her hand, and kept wiping him, and every time she wiped it, she had to change the silk handkerchief.

The two maidservants helped Liu Kang to sit down on the Taishi chair, and the two young maids in Tsing Yi brought tea and snacks early. The man in black laughed and said, "Master Ge, there is no good place to live in this Yong'an City, so I have to grieve you to rest in this inn for a while, and then we will go on the road after noon." ”

A maidservant picked up the teacup, opened the lid, and gently swept it twice on the surface of the tea, and the house was immediately filled with the fragrance of tea. Tang He and Yu Changchang are both rich people in the rivers and lakes, as soon as they smell the fragrance of this tea, they immediately know that this is the best tea produced in Fujian, and this tea is probably worth half a year's worth of a five-grade official.

Liu Kang took a sip of tea tremblingly, and another servant girl waiting next to him hurriedly wiped the corner of his mouth twice with a silk handkerchief. Liu Kang sighed comfortably, leaned back on the Taishi chair, and said slowly: "Xiao Feng, you don't have to accompany me, just go back as soon as possible." There are a lot of things going on in the barracks, so you have to be careful. If you do your errand well, you will bring glory to my old man's face. Master Zhang is not a good person, you have to be careful and don't make mistakes. ”

Mr. Feng stepped forward and nodded respectfully. Liu Kang commanded a few more words, and said a little too much, and he coughed for a while. The two maidservants hurriedly stroked his chest and knocked him on the back, and the man in black also rushed forward and carefully accompanied him.

Although Tang He and the others were martial arts heroes, they were standing timidly against the wall at this time, and they didn't even dare to make a sound.

After a long time, Liu Kang finally stopped coughing. Then Mr. Feng said: "Teacher, you can rest assured, although we are rough people, we were also born in the imperial examination back then, and we will not do unseemly things." What's more, teacher, you always remind you of it, let's keep it in mind. Mr. Zhang has Mr. Zhang's difficulties, and we will naturally take care of this. I just hope that the teacher will take care of your precious body, and the students will have a thought. Last time, Zhang Gui came back from Liaodong and chatted with the students about the past when he accompanied the teacher to inspect the Monan Zhuwei Institute, and thought about how the teacher was back then, and the students were happy and sad......"

Speaking of this, this dignified general soldier actually wiped away tears.

Liu Kang sighed and said, "It's rare that you have this heart, and the old man will be able to enjoy a few more years of happiness with peace of mind." Zhang Gui is even more difficult than you, he is in such a place where birds don't, it is not easy to stand up. His mother has written me several times, openly and secretly to transfer him back. But he couldn't be separated from outside the gate. Besides, if Zhang Gui is a Beijing official, he is afraid that he will offend all the officials in a few days, but it is better to be his chief soldier outside the customs with peace of mind, but he can keep his life safe. ”

Several military attachés even claimed that it was, and the man in black said with a smile: "Lao Zhang, this person just has a bad mouth, and no one pays attention to him when he scolds the governor outside the customs." If he scolds in the lobby of the military department, these pen holders won't kill him behind his back?"

Feng Zongbing said: "Zhang Gui also knows the teacher's hard work, and last time he asked the student to bring the teacher mountain ginseng from Liaodong. He instructed his students to bring a message to the teacher, as long as he was in Liaoyang for a day, he would not teach the Tartar soldiers to behave indiscriminately. ”

Liu Kang shook his head and said: "Zhang Gui is also a feudal official now, remember not to be rash, and think twice about everything." Fighting, killing, and killing is the thing that the garrison and the general do. As a general, he plans the overall situation, and he has to deal with the governor and the chief officer of the department, and he has to study the knowledge in the middle. ”

Every time Liu Kang said a word, the military attachés nodded yes. In the end, Liu Kang said: "Although the population outside the Guanxi is sparse, in addition to the harassment of the Tatars from time to time, several barbarians should not be underestimated. The major policy of the imperial court is to care, but remember not to raise tigers. I heard that Zhang Gui also used barbarians as strikers to attack the Tartars, this matter is absolutely not feasible!"

Feng Zongbing said with a smile: "Lao Zhang is also helpless. There were only more than 2,000 people under his command, and he also sent some troops to defend the city, and the field troops were insufficient, so he came up with the method of 'razing and destroying the city'......"

Liu Kang's face changed, and the whole person changed his appearance, only to hear him say in a deep voice: "With the help of the power of the people to quell the chaos, the previous dynasty is not without precedent." In that year, Shenhou contacted the Rong tribe to kill the king of Zhou, and the Western Zhou Dynasty perished, and Tang Xuanzong borrowed the power of the Hu people to defend the border fortress, which led to the Anshi Rebellion. The Song Dynasty attacked Liao and Meng, but the result was the destruction of the two Song Dynasty. Aren't these lessons tragic enough?"

Liu Kang said this, and slapped his right hand on the table fiercely. Everyone in the hall was startled, and the faces of the military attachés changed greatly. Feng Zongbing knelt down on one knee and said: "The teacher's lesson is that after the student goes back, he will write a letter to Zhang Gui and tell him to be careful. Teachers must not be angry. ”

Liu Kang sighed and said, "I'm old, and the major affairs of the court still depend on you." Outsiders look at the glamour of being an official, but they don't know that every step must be extremely careful. Zhang Gui has to take care of it a little more, inside and outside the customs, this is one. If there is a change outside the customs, the soldiers and horses on the front line of Shanhaiguan must not act rashly. ”

Feng Zongbing said: "The Tartar soldiers have suffered several big losses, and now they rarely appear on the line from Shanhaiguan to Liaoyang. Although Zhang Gui's troops were insufficient, they were enough to protect himself. As long as Liaoyang lights a beacon fire, the cavalry of Shanhaiguan will cross the Daling River within a day......"

Liu Kang said: "Not only to prevent the Tartars from making trouble, but also to be careful of the Japanese ghosts." At present, the Japanese invaders in the coastal areas of Fujian and Zhejiang are rampant, and the imperial court issued an order to strictly control the Japanese lords. It's just that I heard that the lord of the Japanese state has become a puppet, and several powerful ministers are in power, and the fight is very fierce, and he has no intention of eliminating the Japanese invaders. A few days ago, two groups of Japanese tribute envoys were coaxing in Ningbo, and one of them, a Japanese man named Zongshi, killed another tribute envoy, and Liu Jin, the commander of the Bei Japanese capital who was present, and Zhang Bo of a thousand households were also killed. Zong Shi took more than a dozen Japanese people to kill the city's foreign envoy Yamen, plundered the coastal counties of Ningbo, and the court was helpless with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses. I heard that Zongshi had fled to Liaodong and wanted to escape from Liaodong to the sea. If you want to inform Zhang Gui, you must be careful and not negligent. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Kang took another sip of tea and turned into the dying old man again. I only heard him say lazily: "I'm just a bad old man, if you can listen to these words, that's the best, if not, it's just an old man farting." ”

Several military attachés didn't even dare to say so. Liu Kang turned his head to look at Tang He and the others, and said, "Isn't that Mr. Tang from the Xingyuan Dart Bureau?"

Tang He took a few steps forward, knelt down on his knees and said, "Elder Ge still remembers the villain, it's really the villain's ancestral grave that is smoking." ”

Liu Kang laughed a few times and said: "Over the years, the luck has been safe, and Mr. Tang has also made great efforts. The household department said a lot of good things for Mr. Tang, and the other yamen were not good enough to say anything. ”

Tang He's heart was shocked, and he said: "I still fight against the old man of the pavilion, and the villain should not forget." ”

Liu Kang said: "Mr. Tang Lao contributed to the imperial court, and he should be praised by the company." It's just that this reputation is not easy to earn, and I hope that the old man will start and finish well, and leave a blessing for his children and grandchildren. ”

Tang He was in a cold sweat behind his back, and said: "The lesson of the elder is that the villain should keep it in mind. ”

Liu Kang said: "Fan Zhongyan of the Song Dynasty said: 'If you live in a temple, you will worry about its people, and if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about its king. 'Temples and rivers and lakes are no different from each other, as long as there is a word 'worry' in your heart, you can meet the source left and right, and turn evil into good fortune. If you go to great lengths to do something extraneous, you will inevitably hurt the principles of heaven and end up with anger and resentment and misfortune to your descendants. ”

Tang He dared to speak, so he had to bow his head and remain silent. Liu Kang said: "The old man just said casually, Mr. Tang doesn't have to care, just get up." ”

Tang He got up and saluted, didn't even dare to raise his head, and slowly retreated to his original position. Liu Kang squinted his eyes and said, "The rest of you must also be heroes in the rivers and lakes, and it is also fate to meet here today." The old man might as well send a message to you: Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. You know for yourselves. ”

At this time, I only heard someone outside the door say: "Ding Yu, a small citizen of Tai'an Mansion in Shandong, and others ask to see Liu Gelao." ”

Yu Changchang and the others were shocked, and secretly thought: "Why did the five elders of Mount Tai actually arrive, I'm afraid that things are a little bad!"
