Chapter 192 The dead are more useful than the living

In order to talk to the old Hou Ye, Dong Shilang didn't care about his image or manners, and half of his body lay on the frame of the car.

Just as he was about to stand up straight, he realized that there was another person in the carriage.

That's a kid.

He is small and small, and was blocked by the figure of the old Hou Ye, so Dong Shilang didn't notice it before.

"This is..." Dong Shilang thought for a while and said, "Is it the young master?"

Qin Miao politely called "Master Dong".

When Dong Shilang saw him, he was quite emotional.

When the Qin family added such a grandson, Dong Shilang also went to eat full moon wine.

Time flies!
Qin Yin patted his grandson on the head, and said to Dong Shilang: "One child, knowing that the old man is going to leave, I am very reluctant."

"Normal, normal!" Dong Shilang echoed.

Qin Miao curled her lips and muttered, "Grandfather is clearly still ill, but he wants to take command. We, Da Zhou, really have no successors?"

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Dong Shilang's face froze.

Let's reason, although it is such a reason, on weekdays, everyone knows it well, but they don't easily talk about it.

That is to say, Qin Miao, who is half-grown and not young, has no taboos about saying what he thinks.

That is, it sounds a little harsh.

Dong Shilang looked at Qin Yin, and the old Hou Ye's face was not very good-looking.

"Why is there no one?" Qin Yin said with a cold face, "Isn't the old man a descendant, is he still a descendant?"

Qin Miao held her mouth shut, seeing Dong Shilang's expression of wanting to laugh but not being funny, he complained: "It's boring for you to be so picky."

"Your father, your uncle, don't count?" Yongning Hou looked at Qin Miao, "Let's talk about you, you think there is no successor to Da Zhou, so you should quickly give this old man a tall and straight man, and take advantage of the old man's energy, and lead him You go fight the Tartars!"

Qin Miao said: "Pull the seedlings to encourage them to grow."

Dong Shilang: ...

No matter how much he endured, he would almost die of laughter from this grandpa and grandson.

The old Hou Ye said that he has an uncompromising temperament. He didn't expect that when he met his little grandson, he would hit the cotton with his fist like this.

Qin Yin obviously also knew that he was laughed at by outsiders.

He cleared his throat, and said to Dong Shilang: "Children, you talk nonsense all day. If you want me to tell you that you are stupid in studying, why don't you go to the school field with his brother and sister to beat him for a month or two."

Dong Shilang smiled and thought about it: "Young master's emotion is somewhat reasonable, it's really..."

He didn't understand what was said later, he just understood it.

Qin Miao didn't cooperate, and stabbed with a needle: "There is really no one left."

Dong Shilang was very embarrassed, and said bravely: "Those few left too early."

"Master Dong misses them too, right?" Qin Miao asked.

Dong Shilang sighed and smiled bitterly.

Qin Miao thought deeply, and said: "I must miss them. Those old people are more useful than so many people who are alive. I heard the gentlemen talk about the northern expedition and the southern expedition, and the blood boils. It is true that there are many talents. My grandfather is among them. Just a supporting role with a name."

"Blood is boiling, you are boiling and go home to practice swordsmanship!" Qin Yin gave Qin Miao a thump, and said to Dong Shilang, "Don't pay attention to this child who has no hair, it is important to arrange carriages and horses."

Dong Shilang quickly agreed, turned around and went back to the yamen.

Qin Miao put down the car curtain, smoothed it out, turned around, and winked at Yongninghou.

"Grandfather," he said angrily, "there is someone hiding at the corner, he stands so far away, can you hear him?"

"I can hear you." Qin Yin is very confident.

If you can't hear it at all, what is that person doing there?
Do you just see Dong Shilang leaning forward and poking his butt?

Qin Miao felt relieved and never doubted his grandfather's judgment.

The carriage slowly drove out of the Thousand Steps Corridor, and he couldn't help asking: "Grandfather, how am I doing?"

When my grandfather came to the Yamen of the Ministry of War, Qin Miao had nothing to do.

He was thinking about the chess record when he was suddenly called to the front yard and brought into the carriage.

During the short time on the road, Marquis Yongning told him what to say and what purpose to achieve.

It was the first time for Qin Miao to do these things, and she was a little apprehensive.

Fortunately, there is a tacit understanding between grandparents and grandchildren.

He himself felt that it was not bad, and wanted to hear what his grandfather thought.

Marquis Yongning didn't hesitate to praise, and his smile was full of satisfaction: "Not bad, very good."

Qin Miao also smiled: "Dong Shilang is also easy to talk, I don't know how to quote some words, he said it himself first."

Hearing this, Qin Yin laughed out loud.

Otherwise, how could he befriend Dong Shilang?

Dong Shilang's temper is just right with him!

Furthermore, Dong Shilang, who is in the Ministry of War, is one of the most distressed people in the situation of overstretched manpower in the court.

The beginning of a few words, of course, aroused Dong Shilang's heart.

What's more, one is a friendly and honest sick old man, and the other is the grandson of the old man's half-grown family. With such a young and old, Dong Shilang can't have much defensiveness in the officialdom.

Do not believe?

If you don't believe me, go and exchange Lin Fan. If you don't drink three pots of wine with Dong Shilang first, don't expect a sincere sigh or two.

Even, Dong Shilang didn't even dare to drink wine with Lin Fan, to avoid being clichéd.

In the yamen of the Ministry of War, Dong Shilang arranged for the departure in the evening to signal, took a rest, and poured a cup of hot tea.

The tea came to his lips, and he remembered what Qin Miao said.

At such a young age, he speaks freely, but he is such a child who speaks the truth.

An old man is more useful than a living...

During the Northern Expedition and the Southern Expedition, those illustrious names.

Each of them is clearly visible in his mind, together with their voices and smiles.

By the way, Duke Ding also came to the treasury to look for war documents from the reign of the late emperor before, right?

That was really the last glorious era on the Great Zhou battlefield.

After the emperor ascended the throne, there were also victories and battles, but compared with the past, it was not the same thing.

Obviously, there were tragic victories and even defeats during the reign of the first emperor, and Lin Fan's grandfather Lin Han also died at that time, but what Dong Shilang recalls now is all glory.

Human memory is probably like this, right?

The victory was so beautiful, those unfavorable and uncomfortable things were sealed in the depths.

"At that time, it was Lin Xuan, and..." Dong Shilang murmured, "And His Royal Highness King Wu..."

bang.

Dong Shilang was startled by the sudden voice.

Looking for the sound, Shi Shangshu in front of the shelf also looked terrified.

"You..." Dong Shilang was puzzled.

Shi Shangshu was originally getting up to fetch the object, but he was startled by Dong Shilang's mumbling.

Not caring about cleaning up, Shi Shangshu made a silent gesture to Dong Shilang: "Have you lost your mind? How do you mention that one? I go in one ear and out the other, so don't be confused next time."

Asking him to say this, Dong Shilang also came back to his senses, and said repeatedly: "Slip of speech, slip of speech."

The emperor was in a state of desperation due to the battle situation, and they missed the brave King Wu in the bottom, this is not, this is not...

The old birthday star hanged himself!
