This face Deng Fuzi returned to his courtyard stupidly, complained that this current student is not easy to lead, and then suddenly caught a glimpse of a middle-aged scribe sitting in the courtyard, slightly raised his eyebrows, and his face became slightly solemn.

The middle-aged scribe saluted Master Deng, and after asking how the master was doing, he smiled, "Is the master nostalgic for the old days? At that time, no student dared to disobey the master's words." ”

Deng Fuzi also smiled, "That's right, but compared to the rigidity of the students in the past, the horizons of today's students are much broader, which is also a good thing." ”

In the end, Deng Fuzi shook his way to the stone table in the courtyard and sat down, "Do you want to eat tea?"

The middle-aged scribe bowed again, sat down slowly, and then thanked the master.

Deng Fuzi's teapot is a very casual ceramic teapot, and the tea brewed is also coarse tea, with a slight muddy smell. He poured a cup of tea and handed it to the middle-aged scribe, "I don't know if you are used to eating my tea now." ”

"Master, don't be a fool, the student has been out of school for many years, has been doing nothing, where can there be a chance to eat good tea? It is already excellent to have a cup of tea to quench your thirst. The middle-aged scribe took a sip and said with a smile: "Master's tea is still the most flavorful." ”

"It's done, don't be a sycophant, I don't know you yet? You have made such a big reputation over the years, Wei Jingting of Jiangzhou? Where will no one invite you to eat a pot of good purple clay pot brewed in a good Longjing?"

This middle-aged scribe is Wei Qingshan's elder brother, Wei Jingting.

"It's still the master who understands me. Wei Jingting replied with a smile.

"But it's a great thing that you can still pay attention to my coarse tea after eating good tea," Deng Fuzi took a slight sip of tea, "How do you have time to come to my academy now? I remember that you haven't been back to the academy since you left school." ”

Wei Jingting gently put the teacup on the table, "I have been helping the Pei family of Xichu these days, and now it is almost done, and I am rushing to Xichu to reply to the letter." On the way, I passed through Qionghu Lake, and remembered that this time was the time for students to leave school, and I felt in my heart, so I came to visit my master. ”

"Originally, I heard that Wei Jingting in Jiangzhou had joined Pei Changfeng's command, and I thought it was a joke told by others, but it turned out to be the truth," Deng Fuzi suddenly teased: "Now that Pei Changfeng is missing, and you, the strategist, have also lost the 'lord', is it possible that you will still work conscientiously for the Pei family?"

"It's one thing to be missing, it's another thing to die on the spot," Wei Jingting replied: "I haven't received the news of the death of the 'lord' for a day, and I will be the advisor of the 'lord' for a day, and I will definitely do what the 'lord' orders are ordered." ”

"What if I die?"

"That's a different story. Wei Jingting lowered his head and looked at the turbid tea in the teacup, raised his head and said with a smile: "It's just that I, the 'lord', am not an ordinary person, and it is not so easy to die." ”

Deng Fuzi nodded, "Are you also taking care of the Pei family's affairs now?"

Wei Jingting shook his head, "I am Pei Changfeng's strategist, not the Pei family's strategist. Even if I were asked to take care of it, I wouldn't bother with it. ”

Deng Fuzi smiled, "You are 'clear'." ”

"This is well water, not river water. ”

The two were relatively silent for a while, Deng Fuzi ate tea unhurriedly, and Wei Jingting suddenly said, "Are there any extremely talented students in the academy now?"

Deng Fuzi quipped: "I know that you are here for a purpose, why do you want to pick a few talents for yourself?"

Wei Jingting smiled and shook his head, "What kind of talent am I looking for? Didn't I bring the talent back to the Pei family to find myself an opponent to compete for favor? I am not very happy to do such a thankless task." ”

Wei Jingting took a slight sip of tea and continued, "It's just a matter of asking." ”

Deng Fuzi thought about it with a bitter brow, "Maybe it's because of the peace of the country now, these students are indeed not as talented as before." Think about it, there were you before, your younger brother Wei Qingshan, as well as Cen Qi and Hu Luobing, all of them were not low-famous. Nowadays, all the students here are very vain, lingering in officialdom, without much ambition, and there are few people who really settle down to study, and the only one is still a woman. ”

"Master's words are not quite right," Wei Jingting retorted: "Isn't it true that poor students study just to be rich and noble one day?

Deng Fuzi was stunned for a moment and then laughed at himself, "It's that I'm too obsessed, but you can't blame me, I think that a frustrated officialdom like me and a self-proclaimed literati can only be a hermit gentleman, and I force others to be the same as me, which really shouldn't be." ”

Wei Jingting said with a smile: "Scholars have the bad habit of forcing others to agree with their own truths, and this is no exception. ”

After eating the tea in the teacup, Wei Jingting stood up and respectfully poured a small cup for Deng Fuzi, and then asked, "Master, have you heard of a major event that happened in Southern Korea half a month ago?"

Speaking of this, Deng Fuzi's face became solemn, he sat up, and sighed, "How can I not know? ”

"What does the Master think?"

"Extravagant, shocking!"

Wei Jingting frowned slightly, "Master, that's all there is to sigh?"

Deng Fuzi shook his head with a smile, and was about to reply when he suddenly heard a few crisp knocks at the gate of the courtyard, and turned his head to see a young scholar with a white face.

This person is none other than Fang Shi.

"Hello Master, the student came suddenly, didn't disturb the Master, right?" Fang Shi was polite.

Wei Jingting didn't understand the sound, and bowed his head to eat tea.

Deng Fuzi quipped: "No, I don't know why Fang University came to find the old decay?"

Fang Shi said with a smile, "Master don't tease the student, the student's talent is different from the master." ”

Deng Fuzi was no longer humble and polite, but just asked Fang Shi to sit down here and gave Fang Shi a cup of tea, and then pointed to Wei Jingting and introduced: "This is my former student. ”

Fang Shi stood up, "Hello sir." ”

Wei Jingting waved his hand, "Where can you be called a gentleman? It's just a nerd who is dead reading." Calling Wei Shusheng is already lifting. ”

"He's really a nerd who can only read," Deng Fuzi teased again and then turned his head to Wei Jingting and said: "My student is the best in this batch, surnamed Fang Mingshi, as soon as he got out of school, he was taken in as a disciple by Lord Xiangguo, compared to you back then, I don't know how many streets I got rid of you!"

"Master, don't lift up the students. Fang Shi hurriedly said, but the smugness in the corners of his eyes was not too well hidden.

Wei Jingting glanced at Fang Shi slightly, his face was still full of smiles, and he said a polite word, "Fang Gongzi is really a young talent, with a bright future, and he must also be a fish leaping into the dragon gate." ”

Fang Shi raised his teacup and took a sip of tea before he didn't talk about it further, "Master Fang Cai and Wei Shusheng are talking about the incident that happened in the Southern Dynasty, right? ”

"Oh?" Wei Jingting said, "Could it be that Young Master Fang has an opinion?"

Fang Shi straightened his chest slightly, "Some thin opinions, the master and Wei Shusheng just listen to it as a joke." ”

Deng Fuzi was silent.

"The incident that happened in South Korea half a month ago was huge, and various forces were mixed in the meantime, but in general, there were only three main forces, Chen Guo, Hou Liang, and the 'mastermind' South Korea. ”

After taking a sip of tea and moistening his throat, Fang Shi continued: "If you want to understand the thickness of this matter, you must start from the original situation of the Three Kingdoms. Chen was originally a relatively powerful country among the twelve kingdoms of the Southern Dynasties, but a drought suddenly occurred more than ten years ago, and Chen was also known as the land of fish and rice, but it was a country that relied on agricultural trade, so it was irrepressibly weakened. Houliang was originally a relatively weak country, and the reason for this must be understood by the two of them. However, Hou Liang went against the weakening momentum of the Chen State more than ten years ago, and gradually became stronger, leaping to the list of the most powerful countries in the Southern Dynasties. South Korea is different, South Korea's national strength has always been relatively strong, but it has not developed much, and its national strength has stagnated. ”

"And then?" Wei Jingting asked.

From this, it can be seen that the royal family of Chen Guo is desperate to find the cause of the drought, while Hou Liang is confident and wants to take advantage of the current momentum to go further. South Korea, on the other hand, wants to change the embarrassing situation of stagnant development of national strength. And more importantly, the requirements of the three parties are actually mixed together, so this is the reason why such a big thing happened in South Korea!"

"The Korean monarch Liu Chan has been dormant for thousands of years to plot this great plan, and he is even more desperate to create a country where humans and ghosts coexist in one fell swoop, and his methods are also terrifying. Then Princess Liang Tang Qiuya was also ambitious, she saw the weakness of South Korea's national fortunes, and she actually wanted to include South Korea's national fortunes in the Later Liang Yuxi. In comparison, Lu Zeren, the prince of Chen, was much less ambitious, just trying to find out the reason for the drought in Chen's country from that ghost town. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the two princes of South Korea rebelled at the same time, which is also interesting. ”

The corners of Fang Shi's mouth showed a hint of banter, "It's just funny that this world is impermanent. Tang Qiuya's ambition was severely shattered by Liu Chan, and Liu Chan was in the midst of success, and it turned out to be his queen who ruined his big business! In the end, it was Chen Guo, who was the least ambitious, who found a way to solve the drought. After this incident, South Korea was devastated, the situation in Houliang was uncertain, and although Chen Guo got the sweetness, he couldn't get strong for a while. I think it's very interesting that these three countries are collapsing their own countries when they are intriguing. There's nothing to talk about, it's just a joke. ”

The corners of Wei Jingting's mouth also showed a hint of banter, "Is it funny?"

"Could it be that Wei Shusheng has more insights?" Fang Shi bit the three words "Wei Shusheng" extremely hard.

Wei Jingting smiled, "Fang Gongzi missed someone!"

"Who?, the Taoist priest of Fulong Mountain?"

"Zhang Jiuling!"

Fang Shi frowned.

"Zhang Jiuling's restoration of the country to Xisu, you should know about this! Zhang Jiuling restored the country in Qamdo, using Xichu as a barrier, a clever plan! Just taking Qamdo as the national capital must not last long! Therefore, he should have a way back! And among the major events that happened in Korea, there is a shadow of Zhang Jiuling, could it be that he did it casually? In my opinion, he must have re-established a new state after Qamdo regained its power, that is, he went to the already weak Chen State! He once helped Hou Liang rise, didn't Hou Liang help him take down Chen State? Whether it is to return favors or to exterminate an enemy and have one more ally, Hou Liang will definitely lend a hand! And what room is there for Chen Guo, who is in a difficult situation, to resist?"

"These are all things that others say they don't want, the original story of Zhang Jiuling and Yao Qinghe, the national scholar, playing chess and discussing Taoism in Qamdo has already been reported, and even a random scholar knows about the capture of Chen State after the restoration of Qamdo, you are talking about this?" Fang Shi sneered.

Wei Jingting also sneered: "Do you think his ambition stops there? Korea collapsed, Houliang lost its fortunes, and the two countries suffered great injuries, but now it is the Chen State that benefits! If Zhang Jiuling succeeds in recovering the country, this Chen State has already become the Western Su?"

Fang Shi's face was shocked.

Wei Jingting shook his head slightly, "Such shallowness can also be looked upon by Xiangguo?
