Chapter 82

As the saying goes, those who know the times are Junjie.

Wang Jian's retreat bravely is nothing more than the word "safeguarding his life", and has nothing to do with being greedy for money and profit.

Now, Wang Jian has been out of the field for more than ten years, judging from the way he just got up, he doesn't look like he is in his seventies or eighties.

And his body is strong, which just shows that the general Wang Jian has been very self-disciplined in these years.

However, a large landowner with the highest title and hundreds of acres of land has such a shabby residence and mansion, which reveals strangeness, or hidden secrets that are unknown to everyone.

Li Yu was puzzled, but he also had some guesses, so he tentatively said: "The old general has been riding a horse for half his life, and he is also an extremely human minister. Now he is willing to live an ordinary life in the countryside, which should be admired by the younger generation."

Although Li Yu said this, but whether he is willing to be mediocre, only Wang Jian himself knows, and what others say does not matter.

Wang Jian's expression was indifferent, and there was a vague arrogance between his brows.

Ben was also happy to see someone chatting with him, but after hearing what Li Yu said, he felt a little inexplicably irritated.

Willing to be plain?

Gan his grandma...

Could it be that in order to save his life, he chose to fade out of Yingzheng's vision and was forced to retire and return to his hometown. Who the hell would come to this poor village to stay.

The more Wang Jian thought about it, the more angry he became. This kid really deserves a beating...

Knowing which pot is not to be opened and which pot to lift, it is simply not possible to chat.

Seeing that Wang Jian lost the desire to chat in an instant, Li Yu smiled imperceptibly at the corner of his mouth.

Sure enough, after casually probing, he could see that this old military leader was not as content with being ordinary as he appeared on the outside.

An old man who has kept in shape for more than ten years and has a terrible self-discipline.

If it weren't for the hope that one day he would be able to grow old, and then burn a year-end candle for the empire.

It is very likely that it is for the old cows to eat tender grass, but it is undoubtedly hard to cultivate.

However, the Wang family's house is not big, and it's in the countryside, so it's obviously not the place where the golden house hides the beauty.

So Li Yu guessed that Wang Jian had actually been waiting for Ying Zheng's call, but Ying Zheng didn't follow everyone's wishes.

"Little friend looks like he came all the way. If you want to inquire about something, please tell me quickly. After I'm done, the old man still needs to rest."

……

Wang Jian's voice was obviously dull with a trace of impatience, presumably he was angry.

Li Yu chuckled inwardly, and then said: "Old General, this junior wanted to find out why this palace is so shabby, but I didn't expect the master's house to be right in front of me. This junior has to make up for it with the old general."

When Wang Jian heard this, he was a little surprised.

Young people who are more humble are rare these days.

"Hey, everyone said that they would retire after their achievements and return to their hometowns, but this old man feels that this is unreasonable."

Seeing that Wang Jian said half of what he said, he obviously meant something.

However, even if it is only half a sentence, it is enough to show that Wang Jian is really not greedy for money, nor good at enjoying himself.

Li Yu was startled, and said hastily, "What does the old general say?"

Wang Jian didn't answer directly, but pointed to the surrounding fields and houses, and said casually: "If the king is not in his position, then he will not seek his own government. If the old man still needs to carry the prestige in front of him, then this country will still be as usual." ordinary life?"

Li Yu nodded helplessly, indeed.

Although it is not "under one person, above ten thousand people" after retiring from old age and returning home, as the saying goes, "a broken ship still has three thousand nails".

A military leader like Wang Jian would obviously not feel at ease if he didn't make a thorough delineation of boundaries and throw away everything that should be thrown away.

If the family is full of people all day long, and the younger students are old and old, no matter how much Ying Zheng turns a blind eye, he will still be stuck in the ear by someone with a heart.

"The old general was able to let go of the influence of his previous fame and fully integrate into the village. The younger generation admires him."

Seeing Li Yu bowing his hands in worship, Wang Jian's eyes flashed. The skinny veteran was not slow, but stopped Li Yu's shoulders in an instant.

"Why do you have to be like this, my friend, since the old man is already an idler in the countryside, he will no longer accept big gifts."

Li Yu couldn't help being taken aback, and then said: "No, this is a junior gift, and the old general will naturally accept it."

Wang Jian shook his head slightly, no matter how hard Ren Liyu tried, his shoulders would not be lower than half an inch, so he had to give up.

However, Li Yu was even more puzzled.

I only heard Wang Jian say: "My little friend, do you think this old man is afraid of death?"

Li Yu wanted to nod at first, but then he thought about it, shook his head, and said, "In my opinion, soldiers should die on the battlefield, not in court. The old general just doesn't want your Majesty to make it difficult."

Wang Jian nodded slightly, obviously Li Yu's words hit his heart directly.

"That's right, we, the old ministers, are already extremely human ministers due to our fame and wealth, and the emperor needs to practice the emperor's art.

However, even if I wait to be punished, the relationship between the monarch and his ministers for many years, in the end, it is His Majesty who is heartbroken, so why bother. "

Li Yu heard Wang Jian suddenly talking about the king, thinking that Wang Jian was thinking of other old friends, so he felt a little heavy.

Li Yu couldn't help smiling, trying to liven up the atmosphere, and then said: "The old general knows how to live, even Tong Wuhou is your true biography."

Seeing that Wang Jian's expression eased, a gleam of light flashed in Li Yu's eyes, and he couldn't help laughing: "My little friend knows the old man's family very well."

Li Yu was startled, Wang Jian's eyes were frighteningly tight.

Just looking at each other, Li Yu felt that Wang Jian had stripped his body and hit his soul directly.

Presumably Wang Jian had already guessed that Li Yu was from the court.

After all, so many years have passed, and those who still remember the title of father and son of the Wang family, apart from being from Chaotang or Xianyang, there is no third possibility.

What's more, the age difference between Li Yu and Wang Jian in front of him is really too big.

When Wang Jian was galloping on the battlefield, Li Yu was probably still playing in the mud.

Li Yu couldn't help trembling, and quickly confided: "This junior was entrusted by someone, and originally wanted to invite the old general out of the mountain...but what this junior didn't expect was that the old general and the marquis's food town have been given up for a long time."

Wang Jian's expression changed when he heard the words, and he couldn't help being a little shocked...

Invite me out of the mountain?

Is this kid really from Xianyang?

The more Wang Jian thought about it, the more itchy his heart became. After all, the older he was, the more curious he became.

Thinking of this, Wang Jian couldn't help shaking his head and said: "The world is one, what's the point of the old man sitting on tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, if you don't want to distribute it to the villagers, let them farm for themselves to make a living."

As soon as Wang Jian's words came out, Li Yu immediately admired him.

Damn it, Lao Zhao is willing to release such an awesome character back to the mountains.

This is a loyal minister who can't be found even with searchlights!
Being loyal to the king and the people is simply a model of benefiting the country and the people.

I don't need to convince myself at all...

Li Yu was overjoyed, then calmed down again, and opened his mouth to ask: "The old general is really a model of loyalty to the emperor and loving the people, but after all, does the old general know why this younger generation's behavior came about?"

Wang Jian didn't know it, so he shook his head and said, "Although the old man can see some of your origin, but he is not a god, how can he know foretelling."

Li Yu couldn't help grinning, and said: "Li Yu, the younger generation, was entrusted by His Majesty to find the old general out of the mountains and take the lead to open the way for the empire's new land reform policy..."

Wang Jian's expression changed, and he spit out two words to apologize: "Really?"
