Chapter 662
"Madam, Erlang is right, don't be sad, it's only four years, what's the big deal? I'm still tough and tight. I'll retire for another two years, and I'm still waiting to play with my grandchildren. Seeing these children marrying their wives, I'll let them carry their great-grandson." The old man also said warmly from the side.
My mother wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said angrily: "Who cried? I'm just squinting the sand in my eyes. It's too late to be happy about this kind of happy event. Originally, our Dalang was just a fifth-rank official, but now he has become a member of the third-rank official. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk
"Hmph, I don't learn. I want to be a general and ride a horse to fight. Oh..." Before the third brother could finish his bold words, my mother was given two big slaps on her face: "You are a kid, you are still fighting, you are angry on purpose?" My mother regained her former shrewd character and put her in obedience to the third brother who was still clamoring. Poor child, I'm afraid that my fate was quite unrestrained from him back then, so I laughed a little and gloomy, hehe...
"You are so embarrassed to laugh!" My mother turned around and slapped me, rubbing her arms with a cracked mouth and bent her mouth: "Mom, what's the matter with me? I didn't laugh at you."
My mother stood up and glared at me viciously, then poked me with a finger: "You bastard, look at the third brother, why are you almost brandishing the same mold as you, as your brother? You are not all taught? Who are you blamed?!"
The third brother... I was so angry that I glared at the third brother. The little guy was still smiling and leaning against the old man: "Father, look at the second brother and glaring at me again."
"Don't worry, you kid. With your father here, your second brother dares to beat you, and you will beat him for you!" The old man smiled and pinched the tip of the third brother's nose and said, "I almost got snow in June. I was so sad and angry that I was so trembling and trembling. My fingers started. You are the first one, you are the stinky brat, wait carefully, it would be strange if I don't deal with you."
"Sit down, your father is playing with Sanlang. Look at your appearance, it looks like the sky is falling. You are so careless on weekdays. But you are so slim to your third brother." My mother vented her anger on me and the third brother, and her mentality was calm, but I felt aggrieved and sat on the couch angrily: "Okay, my child is just a punching bag."

"Second brother, this is your wrong thing. Mom's words are right. The third brother is still young. How old is it? A seven-year-old child, you were much more ugly than the third brother back then. If I were the eldest brother, I would have the same thoughts as you, haha..." The eldest brother squeezed at me maliciously.
"Okay, okay, don't make a fuss. Today, our Dalang got this good news. Tonight, our family will have a reunion dinner, which is also a celebration." The old man picked up the third brother in his arms and said happily.
After enjoying the delicious meal, the family chatted for a while, and the old man signaled his mother to accompany my sister-in-law to my side to take a walk. Well, my backyard happened to be just a alley from the side wall of the Fang Mansion, and doors were opened on both sides, so it was very convenient to come and go, not to mention that the third brother, Fang Tai and the second sister all liked to go there after dinner, and a lot of children squeezed together to play.
As usual, I left my elder brother and I, sipped the tea, and said slowly: "Dalang, this time, your burden is not light. Your Majesty has given you the umpire of Jiangnan Road. Do you know that you are only thirty years old this year and you will have to be appointed as a high-ranking official. I don't know how many people are staring at you with their eyes. If you are not careful, I am afraid..."
"Father, please be content with your father's teachings and do things steadily. If you should do it, the child must do it well. If there is any difficulty, the child must ask for advice from his father." The eldest brother said respectfully to the old man.
"Well, Dalang, you have always been cautious in your work, and I am not worried about this. But, I have been away from home thousands of miles away from home and it is so inconvenient to get in and out of letters, even if there is something happening..." The old man frowned for some difficulty.
I quickly spoke, "Father, my brother is so kind. A few months ago, I ordered the people from Jinzouyuan to go to Jiangnan to re-draw the territory of my Tang Dynasty. The new stronghold of Jinzouyuan has asked His Majesty for instructions, so I will be in Suzhou. If my elder brother has something to do, I can borrow this channel."
The old man frowned unhappily: "You child, private affairs are private affairs, and official affairs are official affairs, how can you be so indifferent?"
"Father, it's no wonder that the child is. Now my Tang Dynasty's communication technology for raising pigeons has been recognized by His Majesty. In fact, I have five ways of using this to communicate with Chang'an. It's not a big deal to occasionally bring one or two private letters. Isn't that a Lord Cen from Liaodong Road doing this last time?"
"Nothing! You kid, just pretend that I didn't hear this, so you must not spread it again. Although one or two letters are no big deal, if this continues, what others say, you must remember that you are also the leader of the key departments of my Tang Dynasty. You must not repeat the matter of public service and personal gain. Do you understand?!" The old man blamed me lightly.
I pretended to be dead and lowered my head to listen to the training. Next to me, my elder brother shook at me with joy. At most, the old man just called out and had no power to threaten. Although there were not many such things, it did not mean that there was no one. However, few people learned that my Tang Dynasty Jinzou Academy had such an intelligence communication channel. At least my elder brother is my biological brother, what are the uses? I am also digging some irrelevant things to go home from the Imperial Medical Office or the college all day long. Uncle Li still pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Don’t think that Uncle Li is 25. The old hooligan is very clear in his heart. However, this is normal. Even if I don’t need it and don’t want to move, I still make some small mistakes to let Uncle Li hold his tail. Why? This principle is simple, but it is actually full of a profound knowledge of human psychology.
No one is perfect, but there are several scores, Wang Mang, Cao Cao, and even Huo Guang, these three are all people who have made certain contributions to the country and the nation. It can be said that in the early stages of their land, you can hardly find out the mistakes in their personality, but even such people have fallen into the name of Dazhong and Dajian. After Huo Guang's death, the clan was killed. Such consequences made the emperors of later generations extremely alert, because they performed too perfectly at the beginning.
Occasionally, making small mistakes, playing rogues, and doing impulsive things can make Uncle Li think that I am a person of true nature. In this way, Uncle Li will not have any doubts or dissatisfaction with me, but can narrow the distance between me and him, describing a father-in-law and son-in-law relationship with a stronger relationship than the monarch and minister. In addition, Uncle Li is a wise monarch who does not kill meritorious officials. What's more, even his heart is as cold as iron, and he never kills people regardless of their closeness or alienation. Even Emperor Wu of Han, who has all his two daughters and throws away his corpses and his grandsons, has also adopted the same kindness as Huo Qubing, who has talent and true nature, and is almost doting.
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
What is this? This can only show one thing: being talented is a good thing, but you still have to be a good person. In front of someone, you have to behave like a person. Just like Uncle Cheng, to be honest, Uncle Cheng is definitely my idol. Although his shamelessness often makes me disgusted, he is such a person who has grasped the emperor's intelligence and is very good at looking at the eyes. In many cases, when Uncle Li is inconvenient to deal with certain things, or when the court officials are at a deadlock on certain issues, Uncle Cheng can often be a surprise weapon, and may even turn defeat into victory. This is also the reason why Uncle Li is both angry with Uncle Cheng, an old man, but is always favored.
The old man ignored me, but continued to talk about the topic that Uncle Li talked to him privately: "Your Majesty intends to ask you to bring some of this kind of Chameng rice to the Jiangnan area to see if there can be planted in two seasons. But Your Majesty just mentioned it a little, because this also requires the Ministry of Works to conduct some more experiments. Your Majesty's meaning is to let you try planting some after going to Jiangnan."
"Since His Majesty has the order, the child should follow the order. However, the child thinks that the people have been accustomed to their farming methods for a long time. If they are asked to plant rice, the officials of the children will do something bad." The elder brother nodded, but his expression seemed a little difficult, but the elder brother's considerations are also very comprehensive. What are they afraid of? What is the most feared is that the officials do not do anything, otherwise they will be too excessive. This will make people angry and resentful.
"Well, what you said makes sense, it's good to think about it." The old man nodded. After hearing this, I couldn't help but feel anxious: "Brother, Jun has a way, maybe let the people follow him. But..." I glanced at the old man, a little worried that the old man would find me again, and said that I was not apart from public or private affairs again.
