Fang Jie didn¡¯t ask what Luo Yao was going to do, and Luo Yao didn¡¯t tell him.
?????????????? But both of them know that there are only four words turning a family into a country.
The tea on the table has gradually gone cold, and the conversation between the two seems to have been exhausted. If Fang Jie is a guest, Luo Yao didn't ask his entourage to bring more tea, which means you can leave. But in fact, Luo Yao was slightly absent-minded, and Fang Jie lowered his head in thought. Two men sat facing each other, one with his chin raised slightly and his eyes stern. One of them lowered his head and looked at the teacup with a solemn expression.
"You may be ruined."
After being silent for a long time, Fang Jie spat out a sentence along with the turbid air from his mouth.
Luo Yao looked at him without any change in his expression: "Is your reputation ruined?"
He smiled, walked to the map hanging in the big tent, stretched out his hand and drew a very big circle: "The world is not as big as this picture, but for most people, this is the whole world. This map The characters, customs, and appearances of the people living there may be different from those living on another map, but there is one truth that remains the same no matter where it is.¡±
He said: "History is written by the victors, and you can write it how you want. You asked me just now if I am afraid, what do I fear? If I win, who dares to say what is wrong with me? If I lose, Why should I care about what¡¯s behind me?¡±
Fang Jie raised his head: "You talk about success or failure, but you don't have the confidence in your heart."
Luo Yao smiled and shook his head: "Is there anything in this world that is 100% sure before it is done? I never believe those confident people who say that I will definitely do it well. It¡¯s useless, it¡¯s just an excuse to comfort yourself and encourage yourself. Confident people don¡¯t blindly believe that they can succeed in anything, but they are confident that they are better prepared than anyone else.¡±
"Most people misunderstand the word self-confidence, thinking that self-confidence means simply believing in oneself. There are two types of self-confidence. The first type of person is confident but has no ability. He talks too much to make people think he is very capable. This The other kind is actually arrogance. The other kind of person will never tell others what he has done, and then make a splash when others think he can't succeed."
Luo Yao paused for a moment, stretched out his hand and clicked on the location of Yongzhou City on the map: "When I first entered Yongzhou, I was trembling with fear and thinking very hard. At that time, many people in the court said that I could not suppress the southwest corner. After defeating Yongzhou, my men There are no more than 20,000 soldiers and no more than ten generals. I am not confident, but I have to make others think that I am confident. Now, I am leading the army to the north. If you say that I may be ruined, it is because you don't believe me because you don't understand Luo Yao. Name, I don¡¯t know this person¡¯s state of mind, I have never been more confident than I am today.¡±
He said calmly: "If I wanted to plot a land, I could have cut off the three southwest roads from the map of the Sui Dynasty ten years ago. Even if the Sui Dynasty had millions of troops, what could it do?"
"Three types"
Fang Jie looked at Luo Yao and said.
"What three types?"
Luo Yao frowned slightly.
Fang Jie said seriously: "There are actually three types of self-confidence. One is arrogance, one is self-confidence, and the other is arrogance."
Luo Yao was silent for a while and nodded: "You are right, but I never think that conceited is a bad word."
He stretched out his hand and drew a line on the map, cutting straight through the northwest half of the Great Sui Dynasty: "I have the courage and ability to draw this on the map, who can? If this is conceited, I would like to think that you are praising me. . Li Yuanshan's vision is too short, and he can only see what happened the next day. As I said just now, only the winner is qualified to write history. If he wins, it will be recorded in the history books. He is a saint who overthrew the Sui Dynasty and relieved the people from the suffering of the Sui Dynasty. "
"His fault lies in colluding with the Meng Yuan people In the Central Plains, anyone with the ability can try to steal it. If Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty, the ancestor of the Yang family more than a hundred years ago, insisted on being a human minister, Will he compete in the Central Plains? Will he have the current Sui Dynasty? In just one hundred years, the country thief has become the orthodoxy in the people's mouth. What is the difference between what I want to do now and Yang Jian?
Hearing these words, Fang Jie couldn't help but be startled.
Luo Yao¡¯s words seem to be correct.
At that time, during the Zheng Dynasty in the Central Plains, the Wang family ruled this land. As a minister of Dazheng, Yang Jian rebelled. In the end, he relied on his own ability and the sacrifice of his soldiers to pull the Wang family from the dragon throne. Presumably many people pointed at Yang Jian and cursed him at that time, saying that he was a rebellious minister and a traitor.
Just over a hundred years have passed, and people have forgotten the country called Dazheng. Every common person is proud to be a Sui person and feels that it is justifiable for the Yang family to sit on the dragon throne.
¡°?I think if Yang Jian had cared about others scolding him, would Sui be where he is now? "
Luo Yao looked at Fang Jiewen.
The topic between the two people had already been exhausted, but Fang Jie's sentence "You may be ruined" brought the topic back. Even Fang Jie himself didn't know what his purpose was, whether it was to warn Luo Yao or to persuade him. The words can't be more thorough now, and there is nothing that cannot be opened up.
"Successful peopleare only a minority after all."
When Fang Jie said this, he suddenly realized that he was really weak deep down.
"Why do you think I'm not one of the few?"
Luo Yao smiled indifferently: "No one has the world in mind right from birth, that's a freak. Although Yang Jian was not born into a poor family, the Yang family was not a wealthy family. When he first entered the official career, he was just a seventh-grade man. The granary owner Bo, when faced with the numbers in the ledger every day, what he was thinking about was how to do his job well and get promoted as soon as possible instead of becoming an emperor. Later, thieves attacked the granary and the general who protected the granary died in the battle. He led the grain protection soldiers to protect the grain and grass, and he began to prosper from then on."
"When he was a military governor, did he have the same thoughts as when he was a granary clerk?"
Luo Yaodao: "I am walking the same path that Yang Jian walked more than a hundred years ago."
Fang Jie was silent, without any words to argue.
The world does not belong to one family. If the Central Plains is regarded as a grassland, then naturally the strongest and most ferocious beast will be the king. When another beast on this grassland gradually becomes stronger, it must try to challenge the king. This is the truth that never changes, no matter man or beast.
Yeswhy does the world have to belong to the Yang family?
¡¡
¡¡
"It's a good thing that you are grateful."
Luo Yao looked at Fang Jie and said calmly: "So I have never asked you to do anything, but I hope you can change yourself. But you have to understand one thing, gratitude and ambition are never the same thing. Even if I leave To this day, I have never said anything bad about the Yang family, because the Yang family treats me very well, and there is no need to deny this.¡±
"Li Yuanshan keeps cursing the Yang family, just to make himself look more righteous."
He drank all the herbal tea in the cup, ignoring that herbal tea seemed to be much bitterer than hot tea: "Even if I really take that step in the future, I still won't say anything bad about the Yang family. Whatever you want, Just go and grab it openly, why bother to slander others and elevate yourself?"
"A person who is short does not become taller just by saying he is tall all day long."
"Go and rob it openly?"
Fang Jie murmured and repeated it, suddenly realizing that this sentence was a bit ridiculous.
Luo Yao seemed to not want to continue on this matter. He was silent for a while and said: "Whether you admit it or not, you are my son, Luo Yao. Even if I don't give you this title, you still Yes. So I don¡¯t want you and me to drift apart because of our differences. If you have anything to say, you can speak openly and clearly. I know that I feel pain in my heart, but I also know that the more painful it is, the more I have to speak clearly. , let you guess, you will suffer even more. "
"When you were in Yongzhou, you had the opportunity to inform the emperor, but you didn't do it because you still had the love between father and son in your heart. This is good Blood relatives are always stronger than any other feelings, monarch, minister, master. Apprentices, brothers, friendsare all pitiful in the face of blood ties."
Fang Jie shook his head. He wanted to say that in fact, in the face of desire, it seems that blood relationships can become thin and pitiful.
Luo Yao's current desire has expanded to the point where it would take the whole world to contain it.
"If you want to kill someone, then go ahead."
Luo Yao sat down on the chair and picked up the book he had read halfway: "You are grateful for the emperor's kindness to you. If I prevent you from doing anything, you will definitely be resentful in your heart. The relationship between our father and son is not inherently good. "Reliable, I don't want to dig the trench deeper because of such a trivial matter. If you want to kill the rebels to repay the emperor, you don't have to worry about whether it will cause the rebels to counterattack."
"I am still a minister of the Sui Dynasty, and the Yang family was kind to me back then. Before I raise the flag, I must also fulfill my duties as a minister. If you anger Yin Poshan, he dares to come, I dare to kill you, but you have to remember that the lives of ten Yin Po Mountains, one hundred Yin Po Mountains, two hundred thousand rebels, and one million rebels are not as important as yours. He's my son. You can take care of Shanziying and come back after killing some people. Don't fight After all, you are leading the army for the first time.After all, Huan Shan has been leading troops for more than ten years and has far more experience than you. "
Fang Jie nodded mechanically, then stood up and prepared to leave.
"I have figured out one thing now."
Luo Yao looked at his back and said calmly: "When you first came back, I wanted to tie you down and never leave again. But I have also thought about it a lot in the past few days. There is a father-son relationship between you and me. Even if you leave, you will still come back"
Fang Jie paused in his steps, then strode away.
After Fang Jie left, a man wearing a large black robe came out from behind the tent, holding a pot of hot tea in his hand and refilling Luo Yao's tea cup.
The black robe is too wide, so you can¡¯t tell what his figure is. The hat on the robe covered most of his face, and there was a silver mask on his face. The shape of this mask is very strange. There is only one hole in the mask for the eye, and only one left eye is exposed.
The two cuffs of the black robe were embroidered with a burning red flame.
"The general is not afraid that he will really leave?"
The man in black robe asked while pouring tea. His voice was very special, a little hoarse, but not unpleasant.
¡°You have to try it.¡±
Luo Yao said in a calm tone: "I won't let him go. If he doesn't lose his mind, he won't be here. I'll give him a chance to leave. If he doesn't leave, I can breathe a sigh of relief."
"The general is right."
The man in black robe seemed to be smiling, without making a sound and wearing a mask, but it gave the impression that he was smiling.
"It's better to be honest than to hide it. After all, sooner or later, he will be the one who inherits everything from the general."
"Inheritance?"
Luo Yao frowned slightly, and there was a flash of unusual meaning in his eyes.
"If you tell him this, he will feel that the general is magnanimous."
The man in black robe walked to the door and looked at Fang Jie's back: "It's so perfect I didn't expect it to be so perfect It's just too simple. He might really think that the general would let him go to Hebei, but In order to take care of his emotions, the general wanted more than Xinkoucang, not just Huangyang Road, and not just a corner of the southwest, so he wanted to fall out with Yang Yanye and find an excuse to occupy Xinkoucang Huangyang Road. Means. Now that Huangyang Dao has basically obtained it, the rebels in Hebei are killed before the people of Huangyang Dao are angry. This is also a means. Once the war starts against the rebels, the people in Chang'an City really don't understand what the general is going to do. Yes, this is still a method. The hearts of the people of the world and the hearts of the generals are everywhere. It is wonderful. "
Luo Yao raised his head and glanced at him, and said in a cold voice: "You are still so incapable of speaking."
The man in black robe shrugged his shoulders: "I'm used to it. I have only told the truth for so many years."
