    Chapter 1,214 When will the reaction be abnormal? "Cui You, please come and see the lord!" The gray-haired Cui You was as excited as an old man. He rushed out of the yard tremblingly.  As soon as he went out, he threw himself on the ground and kowtowed.  .  .  He didn't even look up, his forehead was pressed against the hard bluestone pavement, and his shoulders were shaking violently.  "How virtuous and capable I am, that I can actually bring my lord to visit me." He knelt on the ground, supporting the ground with both hands, and lowered his head.  The people watching around him immediately let out a burst of exclamations.  Fang Jie hurried over and helped Cui You up with both hands: "When I went to Chang'an from Fangu, if it hadn't been for your care on the way, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today. Every time Brother Ziheng and I talk about that time, we always feel in our hearts  I'm extremely grateful." "I'm scared." Cui You's face looked flushed, and his lips were trembling with excitement: "I just did a little work, but I was so grateful to my lord. I know that my lord is so affectionate.  He values ??righteousness, so he has repeatedly warned him not to be complacent with his old feelings. He has been trusted by his lord and entrusted with important tasks, so he should repay his fate with his life." Fang Jie supported him and walked into the yard: "Zhong Zhen is a few years older than me. According to the truth, I want to be called you.  He calls me brother, and you are naturally my elder, so it is reasonable to call you uncle." "How dare you." Cui You held Fang Jie's hand tightly and burst into tears: "I wanted to stay in Long.  You support me in my old age, but Ziheng is filial and sent people all the way to bring me from the northwest, saying that I would enjoy my old age in Chang'an. I only came to Beijing once in the first year of Tianyou's reign, and never came to Chang'an again.  . The enjoyment I have today is all thanks to the grace of my lord." Seeing his sincere expression, how could you not be moved?  "My uncle is serious." Fang Jie said with a smile: "When I left Fan Gu, I was just a soldier in the army. My uncle did not give up and asked Zi Heng to be my friend. At that time, I thought that if I achieve something in the future,  I will never let you down, father and son." The two walked and talked, arm in arm.  After entering the living room, Cui Zhongzhen hurriedly asked people to serve tea: "I heard that my lord has been working hard in the Tai Chi Hall these days. He has to make a special trip to visit my father for such hard work. I am very grateful." "Don't be so polite. There is still a relationship between you and me.  Do you need to say this?" Fang Jie helped Cui You sit down, and then sat down with a smile: "Although there are a lot of things, I just came back from Dongjiang and everything has not been sorted out, so I have been really busy these days.  On the first day in Beijing, I knew that my uncle was coming, and I should have come to visit him immediately, but I was so busy with trivial matters that I couldn't make time. " "State affairs are important," Cui You hurriedly said.  said.  Fang Jie looked around and said: "I chose this house at random when I came to Beijing. Now that my uncle has arrived, naturally I can't live here anymore. I'll let someone choose a good place in the city later.  The Ministry of Household Affairs allocated money to build a new house. "I dare not accept it." Cui Zhongzhen stood up and leaned over and said, "The country is in danger, and everything is in ruins, and the national treasury is not sufficient. How can we allocate money to build a house for my ministers?"  "I can't accept it." "Then it's from my own account." Fang Jie said, "Without your help over the years, I wouldn't be able to achieve what I am today.  Assistant, if those guys at the Censorship Station are talking nonsense, just ask Chen Xiaoru to send someone to check their background. Most of those censors who claim to be noble are not really clean. " "Uncle, this time I'm here.  Did you bring them all?" Fang Jie asked.  Cui You nodded quickly: "There is no one at home anymore. I asked them when I entered Beijing. Those who were willing to follow were all followed. Those who were unwilling were given a sum of money and sent away." Fang Jie turned around and told Chen Xiaoru who was following him:  "After a while, I asked how many people came and gave each person a red envelope of one hundred taels of silver. Although the silver is not much, it can be regarded as a little greeting gift from me. The war has just calmed down recently, and I am really in short supply. It means that goods are spread all over the world.  The money in the bank is not flowing smoothly now. " "Thank you, Lord!" Cui You and Cui Zhongzhen bowed their heads at the same time.  "Originally, Xiang Qingniu wanted to come together. We traveled all the way from the northwest to Chang'an, and we had a very happy life as companions on the road." Fang Jie said with a smile: "But recently he has been busy preparing for the wedding.  I didn¡¯t call him.¡± ¡°I heard that when my uncle came to Beijing, there were only three carriages, and only one of the three carriages contained some daily necessities. I didn¡¯t expect that my uncle was so poor.  Not feeling good?So I plan to let people do some more profitable business from Huotong Tianxiaxing, and I will count you some dividends.  Don't publicize this matterafter all, people's words are scary.  " Cui Zhongzhen quickly thanked him again, looking at his father with doubtful eyes from time to time. Cui You, on the other hand, didn't look any strange. But inadvertently, something intriguing flashed in his eyes.     Dinner will be the solution  After eating at Cui Zhongzhen's house, they didn't let them spend any extravagance. They just copied a few dishes and then went to Liu Ji's shop on East Shiliutiao Street to buy nearly aged wine. Originally, Liu Ji's shop was in Chang'an City.  Although he is not famous, who would have thought that in the past few years, due to the war and bad business, the wine he had stored in the cellar was quite old. Now that Chang'an City has returned to peace, the business of his shop is getting more and more prosperous. "To be honest, I was.  It was absolutely unimaginable that Ziheng would achieve what he has achieved today by following his master.  At that time, the minister felt that he was not qualified to be an official, so he planned to let him study in the martial arts academy and join the army.  Who would have thought that he failed to live up to his expectations and did such a dirty thing and was kicked out.  Later, I spent all my family property and found a way out for him in the Northwest Army.  All in all, seven or eight years have passed.  " Cui You said with emotion: "Actually, I am not very old. It's just that I have been frightened over the years and worried about the instability of the country, so my hair turned gray early.  " "It will be fine in the future.  " Fang Jie glanced at it casually, pretending not to see Cui You's hand retracted into his cuff. The ring on that hand was absolutely extraordinary. He must have been in a hurry when he went out and forgot to take it off. But there was a wealthy gentleman on the ground.  , It¡¯s nothing to have a valuable gadget in your hand. Cui You concealed it in this way, but when Cui You stretched out his hand again, the ring finger was gone. ¡°You have to live a hard life.  Brother Ziheng wrote the letter.  I paid him a lot of salary.  " Fang Jie deliberately made a joke. " How can you bother him with everything?  " Cui You said: "He serves in the Lord's army, so naturally he has to work wholeheartedly.  Once you are distracted by family affairs, you may delay the master's important affairs.  Although I live a poor life, it is still better than ordinary people.  Originally, there was a lot of land, and although the land in the northwest didn't produce much food, it was still plenty.  However, after Li Yuanshan's rebellion, all the people under my command ran away. Who would still be willing to farm?  " "In the beginning, the father adopted the son, and later the son adopted the father.  Fang Jie solemnly said: "Fathers fight to love and protect their children. Don't children fight to honor their elders?"  If a person does not have filial piety, he will not be able to do great things, nor will he achieve great things.  " "My lord is wise.  " Cui You complimented casually. Fang Jie personally poured a glass of wine for Cui You. Cui You stood up and held the glass in both hands to thank you. Fang Jie glanced at it casually and found that Cui You's hands were very white and did not look like an old man at all.  The hand of this person is very thick, with no calluses but heavy lines in the palm. But Fang Jie knows that this must be the hand of a practitioner.  Jie didn't test Cui You's cultivation, he just pretended not to care about anything. "I can't drink too much. My body has been getting worse over the past few years. If I drink a little too much, I will cough up blood.  " Hearing Cui You's words, Fang Jie's heart moved slightly. So he followed Cui You's words and said: "How can that be done? Later, I will send people to find a few more skilled doctors, and then look for the palace.  The imperial doctors here will come to treat you.  " "No, no, I have this old problem.  " Cui You declined. Fang Jie turned around and told Chen Xiaoru: "Write this down and send someone to handle it later.  " Chen Xiaoru responded from the side. "Uncle, you haven't had a good walk in Chang'an this time, have you?  Although there is not much scenery to speak of in Chang'an City, walking for a long time can open your mind.  Let Brother Ziheng take a good rest in a few days and take you around Chang'an City.  I have to rectify military affairs recently, so I'm afraid I won't have time.  "    "oh?  Cui You said oh and said quickly: "Military and national affairs are the most important thing."  " Cui Zhongzhen asked: "My lord, you want to rectify military affairs?  " Fang Jie nodded, sighed slightly and said, "The troops brought back from Eastern Xinjiang this time include at least 50,000 new soldiers.  These soldiers were all from Green Forest Road in Eastern Xinjiang and did not understand any rules.  So I need to reorganize, and I am planning to look back and see where to transfer some people to lead these soldiers.  In addition, there are tens of thousands of new recruits available at the Zhuque Mountain Camp, and they need to be organized and then assigned to local areas for maintenance.  " Cui Zhongzhen said: "I am willing to share my worries with the Lord.  "    "talk later.  ¡±  Fang Jie did not respond. He looked at the sky and stood up and said: "We have gathered together today to discuss something on our mind. There are still many things in the court that have not been dealt with, and I have to go back in a hurry." Cui You and Cui Zhongzhen hurriedly  Get up and see him off.  ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ Fang unlocked the gate of Cui Mansion and got on the carriage.  Chen Xiaoru drove the car himself.  "Do you see anything wrong?" Fang Jie asked.  Chen Xiaoru thought for a while and then replied: "I didn't notice anything wrong at first, but I just felt that the atmosphere was a little abnormal. When the Lord was at the table, I carefully thought about where the abnormality was. After I left the gate, I  SuddenlyGeneral Cui is too reserved today." Fang Jie smiled and said nothing.  Chen Xiaoru continued: "According to logic, there are no outsiders today. General Cui and the lord are close friends, so they should be more relaxed at home. But General Cui looks a little nervous, and is far more respectful and polite than usual.  This is not normal, absolutely not normal." "When will there be such a reaction?" Fang Jie asked again.  Chen Xiaoru smiled: "When you speak ill of othersfor example, when Yan Kuang and I were speaking ill of Nie Xiaoju, and suddenly found out that Nie Xiaoju was herewe would be very unnatural and behave more politely than before, some  He would say words of concern that he couldn't usually say. "Fang Jie laughed and said, "Do you often say bad things about Nie Xiaoju behind his back?" Chen Xiaoru smiled sarcastically: "It's not a bad thingit's just to criticize him.  Needlework Later, after Yan Kuang was beaten by Nie Xiaoju, he didn't dare to talk to me anymore"
