Master Li knelt on the ground, lowered his head and didn't say a word, Master Liu was secretly happy in his heart, Zhuang Zejing, Zong Lao and others had nothing to do with themselves, neither helped Master Li say good things, nor helped Master Liu fall into the well, only impermanence was secretly reminded on the side. Wu Jingguo stared at the two of them and was silent for a long time.

A gust of wind blew, followed by a torrential downpour.

"Get up. Wu Jingguo seemed to be angry a lot, and everyone kowtowed and got up. "Sit down and talk. Everyone thanked each other before they sat down.

"Did you expect these things in advance?" Wu Jingguo asked, obviously asking Master Liu.

"When I returned to the governor, I only expected seven or eight points in advance. In fact, this thing is not difficult, it was a mistake to use that Liang Xie at the beginning, the governor of the prefecture, please think about it, the assassin is inseparable from us, his

Can you believe it? This kind of person doesn't say that he takes his wife and brother-in-law as hostages, even if he takes his parents, it's useless......" Master Liu was ecstatic in his heart, and talked eloquently, opportunities, one of the few opportunities, it is rare that the surname Li is so completely wrong this time, how can he not grasp it well?

"Besides, the 'King of Honor' is a relative of the emperor after all, and it can't hinder us from anything, it is simply too much to attack him, as long as the emperor can trust the governor, how can he ......be a prince" Master Liu peeled off Master Li's faults layer by layer, counted them carefully, and when it came to the proud, he got up unconsciously, and was impassioned in the hall, pointing out the country.

Wu Jingguo listened quietly, with a slight smile on his face, the patriarch looked at it and shook his head secretly, Granny Rui nodded slightly, Sun Ming was in a cold sweat, Luo Ting, Zhuang Zejing and Li Nian and others were inconspicuous, it seemed that this matter had nothing to do with them, and it was only a story to listen to. Zhao Ji sneered, extremely impatient with Master Liu, if it weren't for Wu Jingguo's face, it is estimated that he would have stood up and left. Impermanence is the most interesting, he doesn't go to heal, but he is very interested in Master Liu's talk, and he reminds him several times when Master Liu can't take it.

The more Master Liu Wu Jingguo listened, the brighter the smile on his face became, and Master Liu had the help of impermanence and saw Wu Jingguo's acquiescence even more energetic, and said everything he could think of and the unthinkable, and criticized Master Li as incomplete.

Suddenly, a loud noise came from the southwest, and the earth seemed to tremble slightly, and the sound was like thunder, but it was even more dull and frightening. Wu Jingguo asked someone to investigate, the guard went by himself, Master Liu still talked while the iron was hot, Wu Jingguo smiled even more, and he was also laughing, laughing weird and peculiar.

The red light flashed, and there was a sudden increase in the door of the hall, this person was dressed in red, holding a red umbrella, his long hair was spread and scattered over his shoulders, his whole body was soaked with water, an umbrella was broken, he (she) looked exhausted, as if he or she had a serious illness.

The patriarch didn't care about his injuries, so he hurriedly stood up and helped him (her) to sit down, but he (she) didn't appreciate it, and he didn't sit down, just stood straight and straight.

"Who hurt you like this?" asked the patriarch, who had invited him, and it was a shame for him to lose face.

He (she) didn't say a word, just stood, neither spoke nor saluted Wu Jingguo, and there was no expression on his face.

When Master Liu saw his (her) appearance, he knew that he (she) had lost a lot, and his heart was even more joyful, God helped me! Let him (her) break off was arranged by Master Li and the patriarch, he (she) defeated Master Liu just to justify his own reasoning, which just shows that the layout of the surname Li is not bullshit.

Master Liu forcibly suppressed the joy, waved to Wu Jingguo, and said: "The governor of the government, the students have always thought that the people of the rivers and lakes are unreliable, and the real war has to rely on the adults of the 'government guards' and the men and horses of the firearms battalion, but Master Li doesn't know what benefits he has received from them, we have enough manpower but we have to use the help of the people of the rivers and lakes, this is not nothing." If Lord Zhuang had not retreated, they would definitely be able to capture the rebels back to relieve the governor's worries. "While Master Liu attacked Master Li and the elders, he did not forget to win them over

Zhuang Zejing, after all, he will have to deal with these people in the future, and how can he do it without help.

The patriarch was brought in for no reason, and no matter how good his temper was, it was unbearable, so he immediately sneered.

"Master Liu, how do you think this governor should punish Master Li?" Wu Jingguo asked.

Finally, I finally looked forward to this moment. Master Liu was so excited that he let him decide the life and death of Master Li, how could he give the surname Li another chance to turn over?

Master Liu said: "Back to the governor, I thought that Master Li should have given him some silver to send him home, but he knows too much about us, if he talks too much, wouldn't it be another trouble for the governor?" According to the student's opinion, it is better to ...... him" He said and made a gesture of slashing the side of his neck with his palm.

Wu Jingguo smiled and said, "Okay, it's up to you." ”

"Governor, it's better to ...... by the way" Master Liu was still about to speak, suddenly his feet were empty, his neck hurt, and a red shadow flashed over, without any greeting, without superfluous words, he pinched Master Liu's neck with one hand and held him up.

"You...... You...... What do you do? ahem....... Master Liu was slurred, he (she) didn't answer, and held him not to say a word.

Master Liu's eyes looked at Wu Jingguo, Wu Jingguo smiled slightly, and did not speak, Master Liu looked at Luo Ping, Zhuang Zejing and others, no one spoke, and his eyes finally turned to the body of Yu Impermanence, the person who helped him speak all the way.

Yu Wuchang slowly stood up, Youya Youzai walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "People who don't have the ability to protect themselves, they should pick what others like to hear, otherwise their lives will be gone! You must know that not everyone is as good-tempered as the patriarch, not everyone is as good at talking as me, and not everyone plays cards according to the routine." As a master, you and Zhu Bajie's second aunt have a dead life. ”

He (she) strengthened his or her hands, and Master Liu rolled his eyes and died of anger. Without saying a word, he (she) threw Master Liu in the hall and turned to leave.

Yu Wuchang bent down with difficulty, pulled Master Liu's eyelids, pressed the blood veins on the side of his neck, and said, "I'm in such a hurry, I haven't finished my words yet." ”

"Okay, let's all withdraw, we lost this battle, and it's useless to talk about it. Wu Jingguo said slowly.

"Who said we lost?" said the impermanence as he slowly stood up.

"Oh?" Wu Jingguo's spirit suddenly lifted.

......

The rain in the capital finally stopped, the matter was finally done, and Wu Jingguo finally went to the palace again.

The elder, Granny Rui, and Sun Ming went out of Jingguo Mansion and walked towards a restaurant, they felt very tired, very tired, more tired than working hard with others, they needed to order a few good dishes and have a good meal. Eating is a common hobby for everyone, and indeed, how can you lose your stomach when you earn money?

After the rain, the air is exceptionally fresh, and the surrounding bricks and tiles appear bright and distinct. The sun was setting in the west, and the sunset was reflected in the sky, and the red sun gently sprinkled the sun to the earth, and the afterglow dragged the backs of the three of them to the old elders.

"Elder, there is something that the old woman doesn't understand. ”

"Speak. ”

"Why did he (she) kill Master Liu?"

"It's not that he (she) wants to kill Master Liu, it's the governor who wants Master Liu's life. ”

"Then there seems to be nothing wrong with what Master Liu said, just take the transfer of Zhuang Zejing and their return to the mansion to say that Master Li's strategy is very problematic, why does the governor still do that?"

"We all underestimate Master Li. In terms of layout, it is indeed the next policy to transfer people back to rescue, but it is precisely because of this strategy that it reflects that in Master Li's heart, the safety of the governor is more important than doing anything, and it is precisely this style that Master Li's mistakes make the governor more assured to use him, although the governor scolds clearly, he is happy in his heart. ”

"Then why didn't he plead?"

"This is exactly his cleverness, he does not justify his mistakes, the governor let him go, the governor has measured, the governor punishes him, in fact, it is just to be angry, if he justifies, then the mistake will be pushed on the governor, how can the governor step down? Master Liu lost his life precisely because he did not understand this. Master Li is the governor of the government has been reused, Master Li's layout of the governor is also allowed, Master Li transferred people back is also to protect the governor, if Master Li is wrong, isn't it the governor first of all who does not know people, and secondly, the wisdom is inferior, and he can't see the layout is good or bad, the third point is more important, if the governor punishes Master Li, it is equivalent to hinting at the person who is 'the guard' next time he encounters danger, everyone will do it in Master Liu's way, take things first, interests first, and don't care about his life and death. Do you think, how dare the governor make such a hint? Therefore, Master Liu's remarks are tantamount to insulting the governor, and at the same time, for the sake of meritorious service, he disregards the life and death of the governor, and the governor wants people who are loyal to him, and everything else must be sidelined in the face of the word loyalty. The patriarch said. "What's more, Master Liu's style of Zhuge after the fact is really disgusting, if he really has the ability, why didn't he explain it to the governor in advance? Why invite merit afterwards? Doesn't this mean that we and the governor are idiots, only he Master Liu is a talent, without him, the entire Jingguo Mansion will not be able to play?"

"I see!"

"It's a pity that we didn't think of these things at first, and Master Li won at this point. ”

"The patriarch is both civil and military, how can he be compared to a scholar?" Sun Ming said. The three of them looked at each other and smiled.

"The old woman still has one thing ....."

"You mean the merit book?"

"Hmm. The old woman was puzzled, the rebel party did not have any great masters except for Buliu and Zong Yuxiang, but Li Nian said that it was mysterious and mysterious, and the disciples of 'Tan Men' and 'Banbutang' together were only about 300 people, where did the 1,200 masters kill them? The most infuriating thing is that the death of Daozun and 'King Yu' is also regarded as their credit, and the old body does not believe that they can kill Daozun by killing them. These patriarchs know this, but why do they allow them to rob us of our credit?"

The patriarch took a long breath and said slowly: "Jingguo Mansion looks like a mansion on the surface, but in fact, it is no different from a small court, Master An is responsible for recording everyone's merits, and then the governor will reward them with meritorious deeds, all of which seem to be very fair." But you must not forget, falsely reporting war exploits is originally a good thing for officials, this time we returned from a big defeat, only impermanence has made a meritorious service, and the governor is looking at them differently, even if they falsely report their war exploits, it is just a little more money, how can the governor care? As for stealing our merits, it is needless to say, it is not bad if we are defeated and not punished, so what face do we have to fight for?"

"'Bitter hatred of pressing gold threads every year, making wedding clothes for others', the reason why we lost is also due to them, if it were not for Xiang Yue and others rashly attacked, in order to save their lives, why would they be seriously injured in this way? They did not mention a word about this matter, but it became our ineffective work. ”

"It's not uncommon for generations to receive the original, and this time I will find it back next time. But Elder Sun should be careful, the next time he encounters your apprentice, he must not be soft, either kill him on the spot, or capture him alive and let the governor fall. ”

"The patriarch brings up the old thing again, and I will be careful. Sun Ming said.

"It's here!" A restaurant was already in front of them, and the three of them stopped talking at the same time, and turned to talk about flowers, birds, fish and insects.

Inside the Royal Palace. The emperor was sick in bed, and Wu Jingguo knelt on the ground.

"Alright, get up. Wu Jingguo got up, and the emperor said: "It's not once or twice that he has exceeded the system, why don't you have to get along with him, let him wear a dragon robe if he likes to wear it, anyway, he doesn't rebel, don't you also wear a dragon robe when you sing operas, why don't you arrest people." ”

When you were the prince, you didn't dare to wear the dragon robe of the twelve chapters, wouldn't he ride on the head of the prince as a person from the rivers and lakes.

"Master, this ......"

"Okay, don't bother me, you privately transferred the 'Dragon Guard', and Ren Siqian privately transferred the firearms battalion, didn't I say anything?"

Wu Jingguo listened to the word private tune, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and said: "The situation is urgent, and the master's body is not very convenient, so ......"

"Well, get up, I know that you are faithful. Wu Jingguo Fu kowtowed again and got up.

The emperor said: "From the perspective of the ancestor of the emperor, I am still his nephew and grandchild, and it is rumored that our father and son still owe him love. ”

"Master, anything can be said in the market, you can't believe it, some time ago, it was rumored that the queen had an affair with the 'King Yu'. ”

The Emperor smiled wearily and said, "That's nonsense, I won't listen to such rumors." In fact, being an emperor is quite boring, what is the use of not listening to the opinions of the ministers, and listening to it is called listening to slander, sometimes the truth sounds like a lie, and the lie sounds more like the truth, and those who are benevolent and moral every day say one thing after another, in fact, they don't want to get some benefits from it? How many of them are really for the people of the court?"

Wu Jingguo said: "The old minister only knows how to share the worries for the lord, the lord is the co-lord of the world, the lord is happy, the court can be stable, and the people of the world can live a good life." ”

The emperor smiled and said, "I can only trust you." Three years ago, when you were sick for a few days, there were more than a dozen ministers, who jointly wrote a letter suggesting that the imperial court should be exterminated by the 'Six Dragons Gang', saying that you can't sleep on the bed or something, how and how to say a lot, there are probably dozens of crimes, just listening to them say that I have a headache, at that time I asked about impermanence, impermanence said that nearly half of the industry of the 'Six Dragons Gang' is in the capital, and there are 'Six Dragons Gang' in one day, whether it is the 'Golden Cavalry' of the 'Tianxiong Kingdom' or the 'Northern Calamity' If the imperial court exterminates the 'Six Dragons Gang', not to mention whether they will join forces with foreign enemies, the imperial court alone may make the 'Golden Cavalry' break through the defense line and enter the Central Plains, so more is better than less. ”

"You are thoughtful. What are the instructions for the two other things?" Wu Jingguo felt in his heart, this foolish emperor usually has nine out of ten things according to me, but today he still stopped me from doing something against the 'Six Dragons Gang', it seems that he already has an idea in his heart. The Queen, the 'Honored King', the Emperor, and the Dragon God, no matter how much I incite him, he always refuses to do it, and it seems that he has to find another way.

"You can see what you do. ”

"Yes. ”

Wu Jingguo chatted with the emperor for a while, and told the emperor a few jokes in the slang that Master Li had taught him in advance, until the emperor fell asleep with a smile on his face, and then got up and went out.

Telling jokes and interesting stories to the emperor is what he must do almost every day, in books, folk, novels, rivers and lakes, as long as it is interesting, he will tell it to the emperor. In addition to giving him advice, Master Li's other job is to collect anecdotes, jokes and interesting stories everywhere, and then modify them to be easy to understand and easy to remember to teach Wu Jingguo.
