- Chapter 321 Look at his attitude
Before Fang Jie got on the carriage, he glanced at Yan Kuang, the black boy, but didn't ask anything. <-> But Yan Kuang obviously understood the meaning in Fang Jie's eyes, so he shook his head. After Chen Heng and Chen Ha came back, they said they didn't eat the steamed buns because they were filled with fish meat, and the most disgusting thing for them so far was fish.
Fang Jie naturally wouldn¡¯t believe there were any fish buns, so he knew something must be wrong.
The black boy doesn¡¯t say anything now, and Fang Jie has no intention of forcing him.
He nodded slightly, then turned around and walked to the back of the team and boarded Duke Huaiqiu's carriage.
"Today I can cross Mangdang Mountain and reach the Yangtze River ferry before dark. Thanks to Huai Lao's teachings along the way, I have learned many things that I had never heard of before. I just didn't expect that this road would go so fast. They will be separated in a flash."
Duke Huaiqiu said with a smile: "There is no banquet in the world that lasts forever. No matter how long we live together, we will eventually part ways. When we reach the Yangtze River ferry, I will go eastward and you will go westward. From now on, we will be afraid of you and me." There is no chance to meet again. Jue Xiao It's not easy for you to listen patiently to the nonsense of a bad old man like me on this road without getting bored. I know that young people don't like to chat with an old man like me. You will think what I say is too pedantic and smells bad.¡±
Fang Jie shook his head: "Everyone has their youth, but you have already walked through it and I have just walked there. If I use the place I have just walked to to ridicule the place you have walked, that is the most ignorant and idiotic performance. ¡±
Huaiqiu said fairly: "It's good that you understand this. But most young people in the world don't understand this. In their view, the elderly are just wood that is about to rot, and there is no redeeming quality at all."
Fang explained: "If you don't listen to the old man's advice, young people will decay faster."
Duke Huaiqiu smiled and said: "Most young people would find it boring to chat with us. And I like to pretend to be aloof, so I am too lazy to do anything hypocritical to support young people. It's just that you don't like me and I don't like you. Just don't like the other person. You are different from most people. Just this sentence has made me like you since I was young. "
"That's right"
He breathed a sigh of relief slowly, looked out the window and said calmly: "I remember when I was young, I also disliked my father I always felt that what he said was useless, and I thought he was too honest and dull. I felt that everything he said was meaningless. At that time, I always felt that I was right, and he was a person who only knew how to make tofu and was useless. "
"It was only when I reached this age that I suddenly realized that many of the things I say now are actually things he once said. He is stupid and dull, but he is not without wisdom. Maybe it was the same when he was young. He couldn't see He is used to the restraints of the old and cannot bear to be taught by the old.¡±
Fang Jie nodded: "A large part of the so-called wisdom is actually accumulated. The path young people take may be just repeating the frivolity of their parents when they were young."
"You are an orphan."
Duke Huai Qiu looked at Fang Jie and said: "Orphans generally have a somewhat withdrawn personality, but you are different. No one beat you, scolded you or restrained you when you were a child, but you know that these are not the old people's prejudice against you."
"Perhaps it's because no one restrained me that I understood it earlier than others."
Fang Jie smiled and said, "Mr. Huai is very emotional today."
"It's because I find you are becoming more and more lovable, and I feel a little reluctant to say goodbye soon."
Duke Huaiqiu smiled and said: "When you first arrived in Chang'an City, you were not in my eyes at all. Even when you presented your arithmetic and pinyin calligraphy skills in front of His Majesty, I didn't think you were a genius. In just over a year, I always thought that it was luck that made you reach this height But after spending a month with you, I suddenly understood something. "
"Peopleactually there are no people who have always relied on luck to succeed? Even if there are, they belong to those who are more prepared."
He glanced at Fang Jie with admiration in his eyes: "I have said many things during these days. I told you these things at first because of His Majesty's instructions. Later, I became more and more hopeful that I could tell you more. If you are successful now, you will be successful in the future. The experiences I know may not be of much help to you, but they may help you avoid some detours. "
"Leave Chang'an and leave the court"
Duke Huaiqiu shook his head: "I had this idea ten years ago, when His Majesty had just ascended the throne. But Your Majesty did not allow it, so I stayed. Later, thinking about it, it was just that I was greedy for power and could not bear to let go."It¡¯s just stuff. The older people get, the more they crave these things. I thought I could serve the Yang family for a few more years to repay the appreciation of Emperor Zhenzong. He used this excuse to stay in his official position and feel complacent. "
"It's ridiculous"
Fang explained: "Huai Lao, there is something I don't know whether I should say."
"you say"
"Perhaps, after you return to your hometown, it will take a long time to adapt. Without the court, there will be only countryside, without colleagues, there will be only villagers, without glory, there will be only dullness You will feel idle and boring. Because I know you are not old yet."
"Ha ha¡¡"
Duke Huai Qiu couldn't help but laugh: "You still heard the unwillingness in my words. You little guy is as cunning as a fox."
He paused and suddenly said in a strange tone: "But it's good to retreat now. Maybe I can live a peaceful life for a few years before I die."
Hearing these words, Fang Jie's heart suddenly moved.
¡¡
¡¡
The meaning of Huaiqiu Gong's words seems to be that the world will not be peaceful for a few years. With his status, how could he say such a thing? Even though he had retired and returned home, Fang Jie was still surprised when such words came out of his mouth.
"Huai Lao I don't understand what you mean."
Duke Huaiqiu lowered the car curtains and no longer looked at the beautiful scenery along the way: "If you don't understand, just don't understand. You just need to do your own thing down-to-earth. No matter how the world is, it will still be this world. ¡±
Fang Jie was even more surprised by these words.
Duke Huaiqiu seemed to not want to continue on this topic. He was silent for a while and asked: "If I guess correctly, the General Liu who was crippled by you next to Ye Jinnan has been buried deep in the loess at this time." Are you down?"
Fang Jie was slightly stunned, but did not deny: "Yes"
"I knew you would start with him."
Huai Qiu said fairly: "If I want to check Luo Yao, the man named 6 is a good candidate. And you have a personal grudge with him, so it is not difficult to guess that you killed him. With the way you do things, it would be strange if you don't use this person." . You deliberately didn't look at that person all the way, just to make him feel resentful, so you had to leave the team and leave first."
Fang Jie smiled and said, "Fortunately, Huai Lao, you are not an official in the Ministry of Punishment or Dali Temple."
Duke Huaiqiu shook his head: "This is not something difficult to guess. That Ye Jinnan is probably regretting it now. He didn't think of it at the time, but it doesn't mean that he can't think of it now. When you arrive in Yongzhou, his current surname is 6. When he returned, he immediately knew what had happened."
"What does Huai Lao mean, is it not going to be easy for me when I go to Yongzhou this time?"
Duke Huaiqiu was silent for a long time and then shook his head: "You are an imperial envoy after all. If Luo Yao really just wants to ask His Majesty for a marriage, even if you are not treated as an honored guest when you arrive in Yongzhou, it will not embarrass you. Although Luo Yao's acting style is direct and even can It's cruel, but the city is also unfathomable. Even if he knew that Yajiang surnamed Liu was dead, he probably wouldn't pursue anything."
Fang Jie couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty asked me to drag Luo Yao for half a year, which means that I will have to stay in Yongzhou for at least two months. How can I spend these two months?"
"This is up to you."
Huaiqiu said fairly: "What I can teach you is nothing more than some things in the court As for why you spent two months in Yongzhou, don't pretend to be pitiful in front of me. If you don't even have this ability, Your Majesty will not Will send you south."
"Nostalgic"
htskFang Jie paused for a moment and suddenly asked: "To go beyond the rules, do you think the war in the northwest can be settled smoothly?"
"The northwest is not difficult, but if we add other places it will be difficult."
Duke Huaiqiu thought for a while and asked: "I heard that you once made a plan for His Majesty, using the navy to block the waterways, cutting off all the food routes between the three northwest roads and the interior, and planning to seal those three rivers and mountains into a wasteland?"
Fang Jie nodded: "Immature thoughts, I regretted it after I said it."
"People like you will never regret it."
Duke Huaiqiu smiled: "Although this strategy is difficult to implement, it is not a bad idea for the imperial court. Your Majesty wants to personally recover the three northwest roads, and letting you drag Luo Yao for half a year is also to mobilize the army to transport food and grass. However, Your Majesty's personal conquest, with a million troops, can empty the national treasury in half a yearCompared to the strategy you proposed of sealing off and not fighting, fighting seems to be more expensive. "htskn
"If the imperial court's powerful navy were to block the waterway, all it would take isIn the next year, the rebels will be forced to march eastward. The rebels have no warships. How easy is it to cross the river? Let the rebels attack once, and we will block them once. If we have a chance, we will kill them. If we don't, we will retreat. Although fighting like this is a bit stingy, it is beneficial to the court. Give the imperial court two years to replenish the treasury and train the troops to be brave, and then go out to attack them, so that they can be invincible. "
Hearing these words, Fang Jie shook his head helplessly: "It seems that His Majesty cannot wait for these two years."
"Does Your Majesty just want to fight back to the Third Northwest Road?"
Duke Huaiqiu smiled: "I have served your Majesty for more than ten years, and I know your Majesty's temperament quite well. Your Majesty insists on personally conquering the rebels, but in fact he still has the idea of ????invading the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. The two thousand miles of grassland in Mandu Banner have already It has been drawn on the territory map of the Sui Dynasty, will your Majesty cut it out again? "
"Still fighting?"
Fang Jie frowned: "The national treasury can support the army for at most half a year. If we use troops against Meng Yuan again can the imperial court be able to withstand it?"
When he asked this question, he suddenly thought of what Duke Huaiqiu said just now, saying that there might not be a few more years of peace, and he was suddenly startled. Faintly, he seemed to understand what Duke Huaiqiu meant.
¡°That¡¯s why Your Majesty has not yet completely made up his mind, so he will send you to Yongzhou in the southwest.¡±
"Huaiqiu is fair."
Fang Jie said: "If the southwest is not in chaos, your majesty will be free to fight However, just because the southwest is not in chaos for a while, does not mean that there will be no chaos in the future. If the imperial army spends several years in the northwest, the treasury will be empty and the military equipment will be reduced sharply. , Southwest may not be stable.¡±
"Huai Lao, I'm afraid that I have betrayed His Majesty's trust. If nothing is found, wouldn't I miss something important?"
Duke Huaiqiu smiled and said calmly: "Actually, it's not difficult to say. You just need to remember that people who want to make trouble must have a guilty conscience, no matter who they are. So you can see some clues from Luo Yao's attitude towards you. If he is cold and indifferent to you, then he is still the arrogant general. If he is warm and attentive to you you should be careful." htsk - Didn't finish reading?
