Seeing this, Goat Beard immediately converged his eyes, lowered his head, and said respectfully: "Master, I understand that I am wrong. I hope that you, Sir, will have more knowledge and don't have the same knowledge as I do."
In just one sentence, the goatee, who had been so sinister just now, burst into tears.
He fell to his knees with a plop, his expression was so sincere that it was so moving!
However, Li Changkong snorted coldly and said: "Expelled from Wulinghou Mansion and will not be employed again in the future."
As soon as these words came out, Goatee suddenly stiffened.
Immediately, his legs kneeling on the ground moved quickly, and he "walked" towards Li Changkong. He burst into tears and said, "Young Master, please have mercy. I have an eighty-year-old mother and an eight-year-old child at home. I can't." I’ve lost my job!”
However, Li Changkong turned a deaf ear and walked away.
Finally, he added: "It's really disgusting. I'll hit him with ten sticks and then throw him out."
Hearing this, Goatee suddenly froze on the spot and couldn't even speak.
Li Xiang was completely relieved.
If Goatee stayed, he would definitely cause trouble for him. It would be best if he could study black powder with peace of mind.
…
In the main hall of Wulinghou Mansion, Butler Yang made a pot of tea, and Li Changkong invited Li Long to sit down.
As the Diannongcheng, Li Long usually goes to various state capitals to promote hybrid rice. He is even more busy than Li Changkong.
I just returned to Qiandu City yesterday, and today I came to Wulinghou Mansion to pay homage to Li Changkong.
"The En Mansion has been doing well recently. Students heard that the situation in the court has been turbulent recently. Even the late emperor passed away. The court is in dire straits due to internal and external troubles."
"Enfu takes on an important position and must bear extraordinary pressure. I hope Enfu will take care of his health."
"This is the wild ginseng purchased by the students from Jizhou. It is given to Enfu to help recuperate the body and express our feelings! Please don't dislike it."
Li Changkong looked at the brocade box handed over by Li Long and the wild ginseng lying in it, and his eyes couldn't help but become a little gentle.
He is still very satisfied with this disciple.
Although he is not as talented as He Taibai and Chen Dao, he is hard-working and patient!
The most important thing is that he has good character and understands the principle of repaying kindness in return.
Although I am a teacher for one day, I am a father for life.
However, there are so many masters and apprentices in Qiandu City. After most of the apprentices enter the officialdom, although they still acknowledge their mastership, the relationship between master and apprentice has obviously become much weaker.
It is rare for someone like Li Long to go out to work and go out of his way to buy wild ginseng to honor his master.
"Yes, I have grown a lot in the past few months."
"The imperial court is indeed in turmoil. I'm afraid something big will happen soon."
"At that time, we will either go north or go to Western Xinjiang."
"This is a day when I'm not in the capital, so I have to give you a few words in advance."
"Enfu, please speak. Students are all ears." Li Long straightened his posture and made a respectful gesture.
Although he has been an official for some time, there are still some flattering words in his ears on weekdays.
But he has always been able to position himself correctly and has never felt complacent.
He knew that without the teachings of his mentor, he would have been tortured to death by Lu Heng.
How could we achieve what we have today?
As a result, he respected Li Changkong even more.
How could I not listen carefully to Enfu's instructions before leaving now.
"Of course it's still about hybrid rice."
"War will begin, and food will become a top priority."
"As long as you can ensure a continuous supply of food, it will be a great achievement after the war!"
"It won't be a problem to be promoted to the position of food supervisor."
"With a few more years of hard work, there is hope that he will become the Minister of Household Affairs."
"But if the supply is cut off, or the food supply is not adequate, it will be a big sin!"
"When the time comes, even if you are a teacher, I may not be able to protect you."
"Experience the gains and losses by yourself, don't slack off." Li Changkong said.
Seeing Enfu's solemn expression, Li Long did not dare to slack off, so he nodded and solemnly said: "Long will follow Enfu's teachings!"
Li Changkong nodded when he heard this and said: "You have always been of a steady temper. Apart from this matter, I have no other instructions as a teacher."
"You should be able to handle it."
The master and apprentice chatted for a long time, until it got dark, and Li Long left.
Li Changkong looked at his leaving figure, rubbed his brows, and felt a little melancholy.
At this moment, a pair of slender jade hands touched his temples and began to rub them: "Husband, there will be a road to the mountain before the car, so don't worry too much." Zhaoyang said softly.
Hearing this, Li Changkong stretched out his hand to hold Zhaoyang's emerald green hand, sighed and said: "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and the courtiers are still in turmoil. There are strong enemies in the north, and the Western Jin Dynasty has come to join in the fun."
"With such internal and external troubles, how can we not worry?"
"I don't know how the conversation between Lao Zhang and Princess Changping of the Western Jin Dynasty went."
"I heard that Princess Changping of the Western Jin Dynasty was beautiful, but she was also extremely skilled in martial arts. She often fought bravely to take the lead during wars. Over time, she actually earned the title of Valkyrie."
"The whole army of the Western Jin Dynasty was in admiration. Even Sister Huaiqing praised her very much after hearing about it, calling her a strange woman."
"It is rumored that in the eyes of the Emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty, Princess Changping's importance is probably higher than that of several princes combined. Otherwise, she would not be leading the Eastern Expedition."
"I'm afraid such a person is not easy to get along with." Zhaoyang said with a hint of sadness in his eyebrows.
When Li Changkong heard this, his heart sank to the bottom.
In fact, the lack of news from Lao Zhang for so long has already revealed a lot of problems.
But he still held out hope. After all, persuading the Western Jin Dynasty to jointly fight against the Northern Yuan Dynasty was their only way to survive!
For this reason, he even sent Zi Yi, his predecessor Liu Jingzhi, to increase his hopes.
"If Princess Changping really had a strategy, she wouldn't be able to clearly see the current situation in the Three Kingdoms in the East."
"Once our Daqian dynasty is overthrown, Nanchen will still have the Xiangjiang River as a natural barrier. The soldiers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty are natural cavalry, but the navy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty is extremely weak. Even 90% of the people of the Northern Yuan Dynasty are landlubbers and cannot do anything at all. water."
"Under such circumstances, Nanchen can protect himself. But in the Western Jin Dynasty, haha, the Canglan Mountains cannot stop the Northern Yuan cavalry!"
"Besides, the Northern Yuan Dynasty can attack the Western Jin Dynasty from the east and the north at the same time. Under such an offensive, Da Chu may not be able to withstand it, let alone the Western Jin Dynasty?"
"If Princess Changping is really discerning, she will definitely agree to cooperate!"
"The reason why there is no news yet is probably because we don't have enough chips."
"The land in half of Qingzhou can't satisfy the other party's appetite. He is really... insatiable!"
Speaking of this, Li Changkong felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.
He originally thought that he would travel back to ancient times, not to mention being like Huo Qubing and seizing the wolf as a vassal, and win eternal glory, but at least he could conquer cities and territories.
But the reality is extremely cruel. It is now difficult to even defend Chengdu!
Bang bang bang!
At this moment, there was a loud knock on the door of Wulinghou Mansion.
"Master! General Zhang is back!"
"Bringing news of peace talks with the Western Jin Dynasty!"
After hearing this, Li Changkong stood up suddenly!
