Qi Yanglong continued to look at the profound Crop Altar. "You definitely can't imagine how much money Beiliang sent over to build the embankment. No matter how long the embankment is, how much money would it take to build the Shangyin Academy with all the manpower and material resources? However, how much money did your father secretly send over? Do you know? It was a total of three million taels of silver! Therefore, not only did the Shangyin Academy gain a lake embankment with willow trees, but in the next five years, they also secretly built a library that was the best in Jiangnan. There were no less than two hundred sets of printed books in the library. In addition to the mountain of silver, there was also a light secret letter that was handed to me. The words on it were the ugliest I've ever seen. However, for more than ten years, when I had nothing else to do, I would often take it out and read it. The letter said that his eldest son would definitely be good at studying and would come to Shangyin Academy to study in the future. Perhaps in the future, the Xu family would become the top scholar. That would truly bring honor to the family. If the son of a vassal king couldn't become an official, then being the top scholar wouldn't be bad either … When I first read the secret letter, I really wanted to write back and ask him, "You're a warrior who killed countless scholars. Do you have nothing better to do than let your son become a scholar?" "Your Xu family is the most powerful official in your generation. You have both the pillar of the state and the hereditary throne in your hands. Do you really lack the title of top scholar?" I also wanted to ask him, "What is three million taels of silver? So many people of the eight states have died, and how many scholars have died? Can this little bit of silver compensate for the destruction of the mountains and rivers and the sinking of the Central Plains?! You're a dignified butcher. Why don't you want your son to become a vassal king?! "
"Later, when I read the letter again, as time passed, the paper became more and more wrinkled, but my heart became calmer and calmer."
"During this period, I heard that after the death of the old emperor, you actually dared to sing and dance in Mount Qingliang to celebrate peace. Fireworks could be seen all over the city, and music could be heard all over the mountain. Later, you were thrown out of the gate of the prince's mansion. That was why you had three years of traveling. At that time, I knew that Beiliang wouldn't be content with its lot. I once hoped that you could squeeze out Chen Zhibao and succeed in becoming the King of Beiliang. However, you were willing to be a peaceful vassal king and let a general of Liyang enter Beiliang. Beiliang would be Liyang's Beiliang, and the people of Beiliang would be Liyang's people. Half of the country's taxes would go to the two Liao, and the other half of the country's transportation to be transported to Beiliang.............. the country.......... be...
When Xu Fengnian heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched.
The old man laughed self-deprecatingly. "Of course, this is the wishful thinking of a pedantic scholar."
...................... soldiers............................................ to.......
..... to answer..........
The old man waited quietly.
Hsu Fengnian answered, "Ten against ten, fifty-fifty. A hundred against a hundred. My Beiliang will win for sure. A thousand against a thousand. You'll lose miserably. Ten thousand against ten thousand. There's no need to fight, is there?"
The old man smiled. "Really?"
Hsu Fengnian chuckled. "I'm just more educated than Xu Xiao. My temper is good."
The old man nodded. "Yes, yes. That's why you went to the Ministry of Rites to teach the two assistant ministers a lesson. Then you came here alone. You didn't even give face to the Empress Dowager and started a massacre inside and outside the Imperial Astronomer. You even slaughtered a large group of immortals in heaven. Your Highness' temper is really good."
Hsu Fengnian said unhappily, "We just became friends, and now you're trying to take advantage of your seniority. Do you really think I don't have any strength left to return to Xiama Wei?"
The old man roared with laughter. "Alright, I've used Xu Xiao to get close to you, Your Highness. If I say any more, I won't be able to keep my old face. You, Hsu Fengnian, can fight, and the Beiliang cavalry can fight even better. I won't hide anything and tell you everything. No matter if it's the threat of losing one thousand shi per person or the generosity of three million shi of transport, it's all the young Emperor's impulsiveness. As the head of the Secretariat, I don't dare to take it seriously, and I hope Your Highness doesn't take it seriously. But I dare to guarantee that from the end of this autumn to the end of next summer, Li Yang, especially Great Peace City, will send one million shi of transport to Beiliang even if they have to tighten their belts. If possible, they will send another five hundred thousand shi. After this, there are only four words, do your best! "
Hsu Fengnian frowned.
The old man said emotionally, "Stop while you're ahead. Both sides have a way out. In the court, from the small officials, to the high officials, to those wearing official robes, and even the dragon robes, there has never been a happy person. "
Without waiting for Hsu Fengnian to speak, the old man sighed and said, "I don't know if I'm mistaken, but even though there are more and more young faces in the court, when I'm among them, I feel a sense of lethargy. Maybe … maybe after the white-robed monk Li Xiaoxin's almanac was rejected, Zhang Julu also feels the same sadness as me."
The old man turned his head and stared at the heavily injured young man. "In Bi Yan 'er's book of poems that may never be circulated, he said that there are two great joys and one great hatred in life. In the jianghu, having chivalry in a dangerous place is one of the joys! On the battlefield, picking up a blade in the face of death is one of the great joys! Every time I read in a book that the historians like to skim over, 'piles of bones', 'the people are in a terrible situation', it is a great hatred! "
The old man said with a smile, "Pitifully, this blue-eyed man died early. On the map of Liyang Dynasty, which he had glanced at many times, there was a place where the names of hundreds of thousands of dead people were engraved on a stone tablet. In the history books that generations of scholars read, there are no longer only the names of winners and losers. "
"Earlier, there was a fellow who said that he had seen you and showed off in front of me. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that I couldn't disobey the emperor's orders, I wouldn't have come here to be bullied. What's so good about you, Hsu Fengnian? I'm an old man, not one of those young ladies who admire young heroes. "
"Hey, when I was young, I might have been even more handsome than you."
Hsu Fengnian said, "Then it's settled."
The old man asked, "Then when will Your Highness leave the capital?"
Hsu Fengnian walked forward. "The day after tomorrow."
The old man looked at this figure and asked with a smile, "If you can't today, how about tomorrow? There's nothing to see in Great Peace City. "
Hsu Fengnian stopped walking, turned around and said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, "Tomorrow? Fine, Lord Head of the Secretariat wants to see the stone tablet? Then This King will personally take you there. "
The old man's smile froze. "The day after tomorrow it is! Early in the morning, I will personally go to the Demawei Post Station and knock on the door! "
Hsu Fengnian ignored this shameless old man and walked to the gates of the Imperial Astronomer.
The old man behind him raised his hands and waved them to the sides. The armored soldiers of the Li Family quickly scattered to the left and right, leaving a wide path.
Suddenly, the old man quickly caught up to Hsu Fengnian and grabbed Hsu Fengnian's right hand, unwilling to let go.
Hsu Fengnian turned to look at this old man whose expression had suddenly turned solemn.
The old man lowered his voice and said, "Hsu Fengnian, you have to make sure that fewer people die in this world!"
Hsu Fengnian wanted to turn and leave.
The old man seemed to have the strength from somewhere and gripped Hsu Fengnian's hand tightly, his face red.
Hsu Fengnian could have just waved his sleeve and broken free, but for some reason, Hsu Fengnian sighed softly and nodded. He said helplessly, "Do I need to say it?"
The old man finally released his hand.
After walking a few steps, Hsu Fengnian heard the old man say in a small voice, "If I don't do this, I can't show that I, Qi Yanglong, am a savior."
Hsu Fengnian's lips twitched. He raised his right arm, extended his thumb, and then pointed down.
He looked at the back of the young man.
The old man said again, "Well, he has some of my style when I was young."
Perhaps he felt that he was too far away and the young king couldn't hear his mutterings, so when the King of Beiliang suddenly turned his head, the old man turned his back with lightning speed. He put his hands behind his back and walked quickly to the Crop Altar, as if he was in a hurry to go there to enjoy the scenery.
The old man and the young man walked with their backs facing each other.
The old man restrained the expression on his face and said in his heart, "Green eyes, if you were still alive, would you grit your teeth and not open the ban on the transport of grain, or would you go against all opinions and open the transport of grain? No matter what, I'm not as good as you. "
The old man stood at the top of the Crop Altar and looked at the dazzling loose soil. He slowly squatted down.
Xu Xiao, Zhang Julu.
You two fought for half your lives when you were alive. After you died and went underground, you would actually drink together, right?

At the gate of the Imperial Astronomer, there was a girl who was holding a scallion pancake in one hand and rubbing her mink hat with the other.
Hsu Fengnian walked over and bent down to help her adjust her mink hat.
Then, a bright red robe fluttered over like a butterfly. She arrived in front of Xu Fengnian and spun in an ethereal manner.
Hsu Fengnian waited for her to stop and nodded with a soft smile, "You still look good."
Hsu Fengnian held the two people's hands and said, "Let's go back to the post house first. We'll go home together the day after tomorrow."
Xu Yanbing had returned to the carriage at the gate of the Imperial Astronomer. He had already put away the spear.
Hsu Fengnian wiped the blood that just oozed out from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand and said with a smile, "You're back so soon? This spear is really fast. "
Xu Yanbing, who was confused for a moment, nodded. When the young lord sat in the carriage, and the carriage drove for a long distance, Xu Yanbing, who finally realized what was going on, laughed and scolded, "Motherf * cker, you don't even use a dirty word when cursing people!"
After laughing, Xu Yanbing looked into the distance and was a little lost in thought.
The girl wearing the mink hat and the woman wearing the red robe didn't sit in the carriage for some reason.
Inside the carriage.
The young man who was covered in blood took off his cold sword, held the king's robe with both hands, and buried his head in it.
His shoulders trembled.
No expression.
No crying.
