Chapter 822 Is it worthy?
On the fingertips, the last bit of the tail of spring is like the fragrance of grass juice with a slight fishy smell finally dissipated, and the summer disguised as harmless to humans and animals carries a seemingly ignorant look. A simple and honest look came over him.
What followed was the rainy season that continued to fall one after another after half a year of accumulation.
Even the literati of Qian State lost their interest in playing with the spring rain when faced with this kind of continuous rain. For most Guizhou people, they sat down leaning on the door frame and watched. The bead curtains under the eaves that never seem to break are something you can really do now;
If you feel depressed,
You can take a longer view. Under the rain, there are still people crawling and rolling in the mud.
……
Liang Guoguo Prime Minister Park Ji fell ill at the beginning of winter last year. The condition was very serious at the time. Many people thought that he might not survive the last winter;
Old age, serious illness, any one taken out alone will be a hurdle for winter.
There are four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, but winter can be preceded by the word "pass". If you can't make it through, you won't be able to make it through.
But in the end, the old Prime Minister survived. After all, the sad winter is for ordinary people in Guizhou. The old Prime Minister relied on various tonics to survive.
But the bones in my body are really not strong anymore. I can only take advantage of the short-term sunny days to be carried out by my family to bask in the sun to get rid of the things on my body that my nose can’t smell but my naked eyes can. Clearly visible "musty" smell.
It is an eternal truth that people take tea to cool down;
After the old Prime Minister fell ill, the forces that originally represented the political pole of the Liang Dynasty began to rapidly show signs of falling trees. The momentum of the hozen is scattered.
I think back then, it was the old prime minister and the new king who launched a coup, overthrowing the former king and ordering the former king to hang himself. Subsequently, a war broke out between Liang and Chu. With help, the little Liang Guo carried it down.
And because of the subsequent battle between Yan and Chu, the Chu people were severely defeated, making the Chu people unable to go west to take care of their little neighbor across the Qishan Mountains.
As a result, the Liang Kingdom completely fell over to the Yan Kingdom and became a veritable vassal state of the Yan Kingdom. The leader of the Liang Kingdom had three sons, and the second son was the eldest son. This legitimate son has been sent to Yanjing. for protons.
Overthrowing the former king who had the blood of the Xiong family, and then blocking the liquidation of the Chu people, regardless of whether there was help and contribution from the Yan people, and ordinary people and even ordinary Liang officials did not Will analyze and think about the situation of the great power game;
In short, in the past few years, the old prime minister and the king have truly established a very high prestige in the Liang Kingdom.
But as the old country fell into trouble, the former ally and the current leader of the Liang Kingdom began to divide and disintegrate the old country's lineage without hesitation.
In the winter, they were just watching and letting the wind blow;
In the spring, they began to stir like new shoots on the ground, and gradually started to stir;
Now, it’s summer, and every move is used. , just like the continuous rain one after another, the sound is so majestic...it makes people feel a little numb.
In this regard, the old Prime Minister was able to take it calmly and did not make any resistance. Firstly, resistance was useless. His own faction collapsed first because of the physical problems of his leader. , the root lies with himself, and his sons do not have the ability to support the situation. In this situation, If you endure it quietly, you can still leave a dignity for your own family. If the faction is broken up, just disperse, and your children and grandchildren can still be protected and treated with courtesy;
Secondly, the old Prime Minister originally wanted to reconcile with the Chu State the year before last To ease the relationship, as a small country, the real way to survive for a small country is to serve the big with small things;
For this reason, in the eyes of the Yan people, the old prime minister was inevitably a bit "ignorant".
The new leader of the country killed his brother to take the throne, and had an inextricable hatred with the Chu State, so he decided to lean over to the Yan State early on. As the leader of the country, his interests and future were at stake. , in fact, they are different from the ministers, and sometimes even from Liang Guo.
Lord Ran, the newly appointed commander-in-chief of Nanmen Pass of the Yan State, was eager to reach out to the southern countries. Because he represented the will of the Yan State, he quickly stood up with the leader of the country. Together.
With the support of the Yan people, it is almost inevitable for the new king to kick out the old prime minister and complete the "universal dictatorship" in Liang Dynasty. In other words, as long as any king of a country can If your brain is still normal, you must instinctively tighten the power you should have in name.
"Father."
Today is another day to bask in the sun.
The old Prime Minister was carried to the courtyard by his youngest son and servants.
"General Pu was ordered to return home for embezzling military pay."
The old country was indifferent to this news, even though General Pu was the last powerful general in their lineage.
Liang’s troops were not many. Before breaking up with Chu, the number of regular troops in the country was less than 20,000. After the Yan people held back Chu, Liang’s army The regular army was expanded to a certain extent, and the number was increased to 40,000.
The leader of the country seems to want to continue to train the new army, because General Ran wants to unite the Liang, Zhao, Qi, Wei and other countries south of the South Gate to form an alliance of many small countries. , nominally, the leader of the Liang Kingdom serves as the leader of the alliance;
Of course, in fact, the real leader of the alliance is naturally the Yan State.
Seeing that his father did not respond, the younger son spoke again;
"Father, my son is worried that the king of the country is going to attack my Pu family."
The old country heard that He said, with a smile on his lips.
It's not that he can't speak, he's seriously ill, but his brain is still clear and his speech is clear, but he is really too lazy to talk to his son.
It really doesn’t make any sense.
People, you can't be too smart. If you are too smart, you will always look at your sons and feel that they are really stupid. You will wonder if these are your biological children?
"My dad often feels this way, but he and you are in the opposite direction."
A crisp voice sounded, as if he had read through his own thoughts.
Lao Guoxiang looked over and found that at some point, a handsome young man was standing behind him, and there was a maidservant beside him.
The old Prime Minister is not a master, and his health is not good now. It is not a surprise to have someone come up behind him quietly.
Xie Yuan stepped forward, sat down on the chair next to the old Prime Minister, took out an orange, and began to peel it slowly.
The younger son Pu Cheng immediately reported:
"Father, this is the young master of the Xie family of Dachu."
"Death..."
The old Prime Minister spit out these two words.
Park Cheng looked embarrassed.
Xie Yu'an smiled and said: "Perhaps, in Mr. Pu's opinion, it is safest for the Pu family to do nothing now. At the very least, it can preserve the wealth of the Pu family. After all, The leader of the Liang Kingdom was able to sit in that position only because of You, don’t look at the monk’s face and the Buddha’s face.
But Mr. Pu seems to have forgotten one thing. You are not alone, or even a simple Pu family. Can you let go of that? Because you feel you still have face;
Well, I also think that your choice is wise. After all, I have been exposed to all of your sons. They are really stupid;
This is so stupid, just like I think of my father. Sometimes I always wonder, did my mother give my father a hat? Otherwise, how could he have given birth to a son as smart as me? "
"..." Pu Cheng.
The old Prime Minister showed a smile on his face.
"Actually, I was not invited by your son. Talking to your son is just a waste of time;
Yes,
Now the Yan people are powerful, and our great Chu has just defeated the Western Marquis there... Oh no, now he has officially become the king, and the great Chu has just suffered a defeat.
But it’s just like when it rains. If it doesn’t rain, there will be drought, which is a drought. If it rains too much, there will be waterlogging, which is a flood.
But the problem is, in this world There is always a group of people who do not depend on the weather for their livelihood, and they naturally do not need to care about whether or how much rain it will rain on this day.
You may think that they are short-sighted, but among all living beings, who has not come here like this? ”
At this time,
A general in armor walked in. He was tall and tall. Standing there, he had the aura of an iron tower.
The third master knows this person.
Back then, the Third Master was in the Liang Kingdom to help fight the war as a guest of the Yan Army. The Liang State also made the Third Master a general. However, the Third Master did not look down upon the rewards of a small country. After the war After that, he immediately took Hu Bamei back to Jin to find the master.
This General Pu was Xue San's partner when he fought against the Chu army. This man was brave and powerful, and was proficient in the art of war. When he cooperated with Xue San, he was both positive and strange, and the effect was very good.
Moreover, this General Pu was first promoted by the old Prime Minister. He grew up from a good family to what he is today.
Obviously, when the leader of the Liang Kingdom planned to clean up the remnants of his line, the Prime Minister, he chose to resist.
Xie Yuan broke off a piece of orange meat and brought it to the old Prime Minister's mouth. The old Prime Minister opened his mouth and ate it.
“You are old and you are sick, so you can enjoy your late life in peace and contentment. In addition, let me tell you the truth. This time, I plan to play a big role;
< br>The two countries of Qian and Chu have been bullied severely by Yan in recent years, and they are all suffocating in their hearts.”
The old Prime Minister swallowed the orange meat and said;
"The Yan people are wolves."
"That's right." Xie Yu'an agreed.
"Chu people are dogs."
Xie Yuan shrugged and did not comment.
"Fuck people are pigs."
Xie Yu'an: "Hahahaha..."
After laughing,
Xie Yu'an looked at the old Prime Minister,
Ask:
"What about the Liang people?"
Two lines of clear tears flowed down from the eyes of the old Prime Minister,
Muttered:
"It's nothing..."< br>
…
The old Prime Minister was placed under house arrest, and his own son was placed under house arrest.
What is ridiculous is that
Before putting the old Prime Minister under house arrest, Park Sung made a special trip to the palace to express his loyalty to the king.
The king was greatly benefited and made future political promises to Pu Cheng. At the same time, he hinted that he would temporarily place his father under house arrest.
Of course the monarch would not directly say the word "house arrest". What the monarch said was that it has been rainy recently and it is very humid outside. It is not good for the old prime minister to get a little wet.
What the leader of the Liang Kingdom didn't know was that the young master of the Xie family, who came from the Chu State, was living openly in the old Prime Minister's house.
The old prime minister he had been wary of was also the person Chu people were wary of.
Xie Yuan is making tea.
In front of him, Pu Cheng and his two brothers are sitting.
It’s just a saying that a tiger father has no dog sons. In fact, there are often more examples of tiger fathers and dog sons. The ability of the father is too great, even if the son is already much better than ordinary people, but in comparison Under this, you will still appear incompetent.
But although this is the Pu Mansion, the three sons of the Pu family can only sit with them.
The person sitting opposite Xie Yuan, who could allow Xie Yuan to cook tea for him personally, was a go-getter.
"I heard that General Meng once fought against Prince Pingxi of Yan State?"
The person who came was none other than Meng Gong.
Meng Gong is now the commander-in-chief of the Qian Kingdom, equivalent to the general military force of the Yan Kingdom.
Meng Gong smiled and said: "Ashamed."
In Mianzhou City, he did fight against King Pingxi who was only a guard of Cuiliu Fort at that time.
Mianzhou City was defended;
But the native soldiers suffered heavy losses, and King Fu's head was also moved.
If Ganren had not lost his reputation due to the first destruction of Mianzhou City, and coupled with the appreciation and protection of Mr. Zhong, Meng Gong might have been imprisoned and waited. Punished.
There was no later,
The war between Qian and Chu began, and when General Nian led his army to sweep across the southeast of Qian Kingdom, Meng Gong took action and blocked General Nian's fight by forming a chain of villages.
However, the battle between Qianchu and Qianchu was just a small fight and made a lot of noise, but it did not really blow out the brains. With the continued strength of the Yan people, the two countries quickly concluded an alliance.
“This is life, haha.” But I know that this King Pingxi once went to your Qianguo Palace to meet with your officials alone.”
Meng Gong also smiled and said: "I also remember that this King Pingxi once rode in the same carriage with your Majesty the Emperor of Chu, and even wrote a poem for your Majesty the Emperor of Chu."
The two of them. They all laughed.
Sometimes, I have to lament the changeable fate. A fry that slipped through the fingers of a big man back then has grown to this point in the future.
“We can’t suffer any more losses this time.” Meng Gong said as he picked up the tea.
"This is natural. If we lose another round, we won't have to wait for the Yan people to recuperate before taking action. Our own courage will be dissipated in advance."
< br>
"Yes, but this time, we have to see whether the Yan Kingdom's Nanmen Pass Commander will cooperate with us."
"Yes, I, the Fengchao Internal Guard, have already done this for him After investigation, he was born in Nan'an County, the capital of Yan State, and went through business. He later killed a moneylender for his brother
and was later sent to Jin as a prisoner. He climbed up step by step with his military exploits, and was appreciated by two Yingdu prefects, and then he became famous.
Those who have drowned will die if you give them a rope. He will not let go, and he will climb up at all costs.
Otherwise, he will not be able to kill his concubine for merit.
After he became the commander-in-chief of Nanmen Pass, he wanted to integrate these small countries in advance for Yan's use to achieve his own achievements. This time, let's give him this opportunity. I bet on his character. Even if he takes chestnuts from the fire, he will definitely do it. Those who are willing to step forward and give it a try.
Besides,
This is still a golden opportunity, haha. ”
“The land of Yan is rich in such people. "Meng Gong said.
"Haha. ”
Xie Yu'an nodded, then shook his head,
"The Yan people took their Prince Pingxi as an example, but little did they know that Prince Pingxi lived a truly comfortable life, which they could not learn from. "
"Be comfortable but not at a disadvantage," Meng Gong added.
"If you can be a big person, you can be big in all walks of life. If you are big enough, you can live a more comfortable life, and you don't have to look at other people's faces anymore.
Why do you say that again? Then it’s on King Pingxi, haha.
You know, we are avoiding him this time.
In the early years, the Yan State had King Jingnan, who was really unbeatable. Later, the Yan State had King Pingxi, and it was still difficult to deal with;
Now,
Let’s learn from Be good,
Why do you have to fight against the most powerful people in the Yan Kingdom every time? If you pick and choose, you will always find a soft persimmon. Find the soft persimmon first and find out how to feel angry. ”
"What you want to pinch is not just a soft persimmon." Meng Gong said.
“Pinch one or a basket depends on fate. For example, in the last war between Chu and Yan, floods caused disasters, which caused suffering to the Jin people and made the Yan people’s logistics difficult, but it also made the Yan people I was able to take this opportunity to change the waterway into Chu.
What is this?
This is fate.
The Yan people have been following it for many years, and it cannot always be so smooth.
Man makes things happen, God makes things happen, just look at it. "
Xie Yu'an stood up,
patted his trouser legs,
said with emotion:
"The tide has turned, it's our turn. ”
...
At night,
there was a knock on the door outside the house where I was already asleep.
The maid who was attending the bed got up and opened the door.
When the door was opened, she was knocked unconscious.
Xie Yu'an sat up from the bed and said:
"Don't be so harsh in the future."
"Young Master, are you feeling distressed?" the old man asked.
“No one will help me carry the chamber pot at night.”
Xie Yuan waved his hand, sat down at the coffee table, poured himself a glass of water from the teapot, and after drinking half the cup, he got used to it. Sex picked up an orange from above.
After the old man came in, he also brought a man with him, shopkeeper Xiao.
“Meet the young master.”
Shopkeeper Xiao saluted Xie Yuan.
"Oh, why are you here."
Shopkeeper Xiao immediately told the story.
"Eat less oranges to protect your eyes?"
Xie Yuan looked at the half-peeled oranges in his hands and shook his head with a smile.
"He must not know that I don't like to eat oranges, I just like to peel them."
Shopkeeper Xiao suddenly remembered that that man also seemed to like to peel them and give them to others. After the blind gentleman peeled it off last time, he gave it to Boss Dai to eat.
But he did not dare to continue answering.
The old man said: "Young Master, the Yan people have already understood our plan in advance. Are you right now..."
"No, it's not the Yan people, it's just the Pingxi Palace. When did the Pingxi Palace represent Yan?" The country is over?”
The old man was speechless for a moment.
Xie Yuan threw the orange meat to Shopkeeper Xiao,
and said at the same time:
"Where's the letter?"
Shopkeeper Xiao showed a bitter smile on his face and said: "After he gave the letter to his subordinates, the next day when his subordinates were about to leave Fengxin City, they were snatched away by Dai Li. "
"Snatched?" Xie Yuan felt a little ridiculous.
"Yes, the man after the robbery said that their husband said that you don't need this letter, young master. He has to...have to read it first..."
"What should I see first?"
"Let's see if you... are worthy."
