Step on a branch

Chapter 223
Master Huang opened his eyes.

After taking leave, he decided to go back and take a rest, as Fan Taibao said.

When you feel refreshed, think about it carefully, it is better than making paste like this.

The sedan chair got up, and in the middle of the journey, Taishi Huang suddenly thought of something and asked the bearer to change his way and go to Taishi Xu's residence.

Of course, he still climbed the ladder and climbed over the wall to enter the mansion.

The only difference is that he was not as energetic as before, and almost sprained his feet when he landed.

Mr. Xu was writing a book, when he saw the guests coming, he asked the steward to add a cup of tea.

Grand Master Huang took a sip, and continued with his work.

After drinking three cups like this, he didn't say a word.

Taifu Xu put down his book and sat down beside Taishi Huang.

The two old men sat quietly for a quarter of an hour, and it was Mr. Xu who broke the silence.

"How could a hearty victory make you so brooding?" Taifu Xu asked.

"Have you heard?" Huang Taishi asked.

"The old man is not deaf," Tai Fu Xu pointed out the window, "Yesterday it was lively and joyful. I was walking in the yard and I could hear it through the wall."

Grand Master Huang smiled when he heard the words: "It was a beautiful fight, it was really lively."

Mrs. Xu gave him a sideways look: "But you are not happy, you found something, and you can't speak, so you can only climb the ladder and stare at the old man."

After saying this, Grand Master Huang smiled wryly.

I can't say it, and I feel panicked, so I can only stare.

Xu Taifu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "I don't know why you are in trouble, but after thinking about it, it should be related to the emperor."

Seeing Huang Taishi nodding his head, the old matriarch smiled and said: "You have always believed in the emperor and have the most confidence in him, why are you hesitating?"

Master Huang blushed.

"No need to explain, if you can't open your mouth, you can't explain, the old man doesn't really want to hear an answer," Xu Taifu said, "All I can say is a few words.

When you start to hesitate, your heart already has an answer.

In other words, you are not firm about your original answer. "

Taishi Huang's hand holding the tea bowl froze slightly.

Old Madam Fu's words hit the nail on the head.

What he couldn't see through, or rather refused to see through, was directly poked through by the old lady with a few words.

Is this the wisdom of the elders?

Grand Master Huang thought, no, not all of them, the old master can figure it out because he is someone who has experienced it.

At this moment, he realized more and more that Master Xu was helpless from being confined in the side hall of the imperial study to erecting a brick wall.

"Nothing will never change. I am old, you are old, and the emperor has grown up too," Xu Taifu said here, with a long sigh, "The old man has been resting at home for these days. I understand one thing, and I have to accept the change.”

Grand Master Huang cupped his hands and listened humbly.

Master Xu stroked his beard and smiled: "Any decision comes from 'this moment'.

And the result at this moment, decades later, no one can guarantee anything.

You can't, I can't, and neither can the emperor.

All we can do is the word 'guidance'.

Just like planting a tree, we choose the land, the seedlings, and the fertilizer. We cultivate it meticulously, and we also have to prune the branches, so we can't let it grow randomly.

However, no matter how much we do, there are still things that we can’t comment on. The bugs should grow or they will grow. When the wind is bad and the rain is not going well, I don’t count, and I can’t ask for rain.

It's kind of like raising a child.

You have seen your little grandson not follow your mind, wield knives and guns all day long, and finally join the army. Why can't you accept that the emperor has grown up and has the opposite idea of ​​us old men? "

Huang Taishi was dumbfounded by Xu Taifu's words.

Huang Yihun, one of them is muddy, if the one on the dragon chair is muddy, he will be a whole country.

Besides, Huang Yi's ambition is not in the text, but he practiced martial arts to contribute to the Great Zhou, and he achieved the same goal by different routes, so his ambition was not biased.

And the emperor...

If you use a tree to describe it, he used to grow very well, but in recent years...

"Look at me," Taifu Xu pointed to himself, "Why do I stay behind closed doors?

I told you last time, it was not because I was angry, nor because I could not lose face, but, if I go to the court again, it will not be beneficial to the emperor, it will not be beneficial to the Great Zhou, and it may even be counterproductive.

At this moment, I will rest.

But over the past few decades, every moment, I tried to do what I should do now.

Therefore, even if he is concerned about the government, the old man can still be content at home, because he has no shame in his heart. "

The last four words shocked Taishi Huang's mind.

He remembered what he said to Huang Yi.

He knew that he acted dishonorably and dishonestly, and could even be said to be "cunning" and "playing power", but he had no regrets in his heart.

His heart belongs to Da Zhou, and everything he does is for Da Zhou.

Standing up, Master Huang bowed deeply to Master Xu.

The old lady is right.

His hesitation is wavering.

In 20 years, a lot can change, and he must accept this change.

The current Great Zhou is not the Great Zhou that was waiting to be rebuilt back then. The current emperor is not the young His Royal Highness Zhao Li, and the current Lin Fan is not the former prince Zhao Lin who was asked by the late emperor to comment.

He had to step back and see "this moment."

Lin Fan and Qin Yin are still preparing for the westward march, obviously they are also very clear that it is unwise to regenerate internal strife if the foreign enemy is not eliminated.

It is not easy to conquer Xizhou, and it will take some time.

And he can also calm down and use these days to think about it carefully instead of circling around the fork in a hurry.

Grand Master Huang climbed out of the Grand Tutor's Mansion along the ladder. When he landed, he slowed down and stood firmly.

In this room, Grand Master Huang wanted to think about it, and in the other room, in the imperial study, the emperor sat back and took a nap.

This nap was very restless, and I could always hear something vaguely.

With a jolt, he woke up with a start, looked at the note urged by the Ministry of War on the case, and frowned.

Yesterday, the empress dowager reminded him that instead of urging the front to withdraw troops, it is better to go west.

The Xiliang Tartars are not easy to deal with.

If Lin Fan made dangerous moves again and again, sooner or later he would retaliate.

Even if he escaped by luck, it is not easy to recuperate the wounded in the army.

The two Yuqian who set out with Qin Yin before can...

Just as he was thinking, when he raised his eyelids, the emperor saw Eunuch Xu hunching his neck.

"What are you thinking about?" the emperor asked.

Eunuch Xu smiled sarcastically, looking hesitant.

"Just tell me if you ask." The emperor urged.

Only then did Eunuch Xu take a step forward, and said in a low voice, "I'm really thinking about something.

Last time, the national teacher said that the Marquis of Yongning holds the military power, and he can do whatever he says.

After all, it's not the Yamen that decides the case, the army is in front, and Ding Guogong is the same.

But this matter, after thinking about it and thinking about it, I always feel that Yongninghou is not that kind of person, and his loyalty to Da Zhou can be learned from heaven and earth.

Then why, old master Hou would be convinced that Ding Guogong is it?

Is it because Ding Guogong has any evidence in his hand, or some other reason.

If there is, it will not only make the old Hou Ye stand on his back, but also make other elders...

That would be bad. "

The emperor's eyes sharpened: "What do you think will happen?"

"As I said in the previous chapter, swaddling clothes and jade pendants are all imaginary. Those who can make a final decision and become famous as teachers can't be that kind of thing." Eunuch Xu rolled his eyes and said tentatively, "You said, the late emperor passed away. Before, did you really not make any arrangements for the child in Princess Wu's belly?"

　See you tomorrow~~~
