Zheng Anping thought for a while and said: "I have no merit and have to accept it, how can I bear it?"
Mr. Cheyou said: "Young Master is a governor, and he manages a large number of towns and makes them rich. What a great contribution he has made. How can he say that he is receiving wealth without merit?"
Zheng Anping asked: "General, what's your order?"
Mr. Cheyou said: "If you, the son, suspect that the general wants to be in charge of the king, then you have nothing to worry about. Lord Xinling has a wide range of jurisdiction over the city, but the son can do it without any hindrance; if the son wants to be rich and manages the city, the son can do it without any hindrance." Obstacle. If there is any obstacle and anyone can help, I am willing to help you. That's all."
Zheng Anping said: "If you want the general to help, what should you say?"
Mr. Cheyou thought for a while and said: "Either tell the city lord or zhisan, and you will definitely get help!"
Zheng Anping was shocked and said: "Zhao San? Would you rather run away?"
Mr. Hu Zhong said: "How can we escape far away? Mr. Guo is suspicious of his behavior, so he is just avoiding the disaster for the time being. If Mr. Guo goes away, the three pigs will definitely return."
Zheng Anping said: "I have an appointment with Brother Pig, and I am afraid that he will escape far away without a trace. Now that he has returned, where should I meet him?"
Mr. Hu Zhong laughed and said, "Why is it so difficult to find out where the butcher Zou San lives?"
Zheng Anping asked: "Who arranged today's meeting?"
Mr. Cheyou said: "So, I don't want to avoid Mr. Zheng, but I am from the Yimen Guards Hou Yingye. The Fourth Brother Chen and Brother Tu are both of the same generation!"
Chen Sidao: "If you don't dare to play tricks on Zheng's father, the real stakes are very important, so you have to be careful! He came from the place where his brother was slaughtered, so his parents are like him."
Zheng Anping said: "Brother Hou, if you have an order, you can just send a boy to tell him. How can you mobilize an army and mobilize a large number of nobles?"
Mr. Che You said: "Young master is unaware of something. The general has been admiring you for more than a day. However, when the master sets his ambition on the king, there is no limit for the geese flying thousands of miles away. The general is a beggar in a foreign land. Although he is a very popular minister, There is no foundation in the end. How can his achievements and fame be equal to those of your Majesty? So I tell you my ambition privately, but I will only aspire to it, my lord!"
Zheng Anping said: "How can a humble commoner be so virtuous as to dare to receive favors from the general? Once the general is sent, he will not dare to resign!"
Mr. Cheyou said: "It is not easy to meet the young master today. I hope the young master will speak less about his ambitions."
Zheng Anping thought for a while and said: "The first thing to govern the city is to govern the common people. The way to govern the common people is to ensure peace. However, the government of the city is outside the Great Wall, and the Koreans are constantly disturbing them. What can I do?"
Mr. Cheyou said: "This can only be reported to the emperor. The emperor will definitely have a plan."
Zheng Anping said: "The emperor has his own strategy, and he implements it in the temple. The minister's strategy is based on the grass."
Mr. Cheyou said: "Although Guanyi is small, it has a great relationship. Han will not want it to be big, and if it is big, it will not want it to return to Wei. For the sake of the prince, he cannot be a common man, he cannot be rich, and he cannot be taught. But in this way A mere hundred people are enough. If there are more than a thousand people, they will be attacked! Master, be careful!"
Zheng Anping said: "If you are sincere, how can you accomplish your feats?"
Mr. Cheyou said: "The time is the time, the momentum is also there. Although the young master wants to show his great ambitions, what will happen to the time? Therefore, I hope that the young master will become a rich man and earn a lot!"
Zheng Anping said: "Inherit Mr.'s teachings!"
Mr. Cheyou pondered for a moment and said: "I see that the prince is quite unfair. I would like to discuss it with the prince. Guan Yi should be at the crossroads between Han and Wei. If Han gets it, it will be close to Wei. If Wei gets it, it will be powerful to Han. Therefore, there is a tacit understanding between the two countries. , but in a small town with few people, they do not become enemies of each other. This is the way to survive. Now the King of Wei has granted it to Lord Xinling, covering an area of fifty miles, and the crowd must be tens of thousands. How can Han sit back and watch, and the war will begin? If you fight, it will be difficult to protect. This person knows everything. Therefore, it is a plan for the prince, and it is definitely an order to govern the city. It is not possible to expand the city, gather its soldiers, encourage its armored soldiers, and garrison its grain and fodder, as a way to attack and defend - this is taken This is the way to die. You should show them to be weak, show them to be few, show them to have no struggle. This is the way to survive. The prince may get his private land, or he may get his own personal gain, be free and easy, or have no benefit?"
Zheng Anping said: "You are sincere in what you say. As a humble concubine, you should remember it from the bottom of your heart and never forget your ambition!"
Mr. Che You has nothing to do with people like Zheng Anping who don't reveal his true thoughts at all. He and Mr. Hu Zhong ate a few more slices of rice sausage and left in advance.
Zheng Anping looked at the remaining rice intestines in the two people's steamers and said with a smile: "Divide and eat them, and don't throw them away." He divided the rice intestines equally among the three people, and gave them two pots, and the three of them enjoyed themselves. I'm full, the sun is setting!
When the three of them came out, Zheng Anping said: "I heard that Mr. Hu Zhong and the eldest son have not been seen for a long time, but why did they suddenly enter the general's mansion now?"
Chen Sidao: "Mr. Hu Zhong and the eldest son must have their own affairs, and they don't want to be known. Now that their affairs have been completed, they will return naturally, so why is it strange?"
Zheng Anping said: "I heard that the fourth brother was invited by the king to get all the pictures of the four directions of Huayang. Now he has returned to Yimen. Who is it?"
Chen Sidao: "I have been able to draw a picture of the four peaks of Huayang and give it to Mr. Guo. Mr. Guo praised it and recommended it to the king. When the king promised to use military soldiers, he would do his best. Therefore, he returned to Yimen temporarily to make up for it. .”
Zheng Anping said: "Why don't you get the emperor's kiss?"
Chen Si said sadly: "It must be because of the general's palace. I was recommended to Mr. Che by Brother Hou, but it was Mr. Che who recommended him to the king. The king does not want to take away the beauty of others, so..."
Zheng Anping said: "That's why the general regards his ministers as the ministers of the emperor, so his views must be hidden in the grass."
Chen Sidao: "Don't worry about Father Zheng. Mr. Che met Father Zheng and got it from Brother Hou. Brother Hou must have a perfect plan to prevent Father Zheng from being in trouble."
Zheng Anping said: "It must happen!" As they were approaching the city gate, Chen Si said goodbye to Zheng Anping and entered the city by himself. Seeing that it was getting late, Zheng Anping was afraid that the city gate would be closed, so he no longer passed through the city, but detoured from outside the city and returned to his home in the west of the city.
Upon seeing Zhang Lu, Zheng Anping immediately told what happened to him today, and Zhang Lu fell into deep thought. He asked repeatedly: "Doesn't the young master have an appointment when he comes to the city?"
Zheng Anping said: "How can we make an appointment just by walking there?"
Zhang Lu said: "Both the car on the right and Hu Zhong are going. It must not be a temporary idea, but must be planned early. However, as a young master, it seems that it is not necessary to devise a plan for a long time and lead him into the enemy. How can the car on the right pass through Chen Si and meet you? ...It's just a meeting, so why should the two of them accompany each other... What I said must be forbidden to others, but why..." Finally Zhang Lu said: "When the young master entered the city, he did not avoid people's eyes and ears; when the young master went to the Tu's house, he did not hide it from others. Avoid people's eyes and ears; waiting on the right side of the car to go to the Tu family, you will definitely attract attention. They will definitely trap the young master in injustice...Young master, be careful!"
Zheng Anping asked: "What do you mean?"
Zhang Lu said: "Young Master Xinling and General Mang are incompatible with each other. Today, two think tanks from the Mang Mansion have met with you. What they say is nothing important. Do you think you will get the chance to see someone who doubts Lord Xinling? It must be true. I doubt what you said." In fact, Gai and Mang Mansion have a big plan."
Zheng Anping thought about it and realized that two big bosses from the Mang Mansion had secretly met with him, which would attract Quan Daliang's attention anyway. If Lord Xinling asked, he would tell the truth and say that the two big men were just saying some words of admiration and would definitely help each other if needed in the future. Even ghosts would not believe it. He will definitely say that he is hiding something, and what is being concealed really leaves room for infinite suspicion. Obviously, he was framed, and it was Brother Hou and Chen Si who framed him!
Zheng Anping said: "How can Brother Hou and Fourth Brother Chen trap me into injustice?"
Zhang Lu said: "Brother Hou and Brother Chen may not get what they want. On the right side of the car, Brother Hou asked, "Can I meet Brother Zheng secretly?" Brother Hou entrusted it to Brother Chen and Brother Tu. As a result, Chen Si My brother met Brother Zheng on the road, and his plan came true. If you don't enter the city, Chen Si will definitely visit."
Zheng Anping said: "If this is the case, then Brother Hou and Fourth Brother Chen will also be sold out!"
Zhang Lu said: "If the Che family sees small profits and forgets the great righteousness, it will inevitably lead to defeat!"
Zheng Anping said: "Why fail?"
Zhang Lu said: "Look at it!"
Zheng Anping said: "Since I have been calculated by the Mang family, what should I do next?"
Zhang Lu said: "As usual, don't have any suspicion."
Zheng Anping said: "Cheshi replied, I am in charge of the command, and I cannot enlarge the city, gather its soldiers, encourage its armored soldiers, and garrison its grain and fodder as a way to attack and defend. We should show it to the weak and the uncontested. Or we can win. Private land can be used for personal gain and leisure. Is it possible to talk about it?"
Zhang Lu replied without hesitation: "If someone asks you a question, you should speak frankly. Or if I ask you about your ambitions, the answer is: The plan for this court is beyond the scope of my small city. The vastness of its city and the crowds of its people The soldiers must strengthen their armor and gather their grain and fodder as a means of attack and defense, which is beyond the scope of what mere city and county commanders can do!”
Zheng Anping said: "If he must be a strong soldier and think of attacking, what can he do?"
Zhang Lu said: "It is inevitable, just do it when you should do it."
Zheng Anping said: "I think deeply, this is not the way to die?"
Zhang Lu said: "Life and death, misfortunes and blessings, cannot be avoided. How can you avoid it, Master? Now that it has been calculated, you should immediately observe the calculation and respond. As for the misfortune and welfare, it is difficult to plan."
When Zheng Anping first entered the officialdom, he suffered such an unreasonable disaster. He could not do anything to save himself and was in a very low mood. On the one hand, he was thinking that Lord Xinling's trust in him might be greatly reduced because of this, and on the other hand, he was thinking that it wouldn't be a bad idea if he could get some benefits from Mangshi! He didn't dare to say these words to Zhang Lu, but he just thought about it all night.
The next day, Wu Wang came to the door carrying his own change of clothes and quilt, and officially became a retainer of the Zheng family. Zheng Anping's house was spacious anyway, so he pointed out another wing room to him. The Zheng family didn't raise any livestock, and they had plenty of straw, so they packed a thick pile and spread it against the wall. He told them the location of Wuwang's firewood, where he usually fetched water, where the tripods, bowls and bowls were, and where the corn, salt and plums were, and he became familiar with the environment at home.
In the afternoon, Zheng Anping took Wu Wang to his own farm. My allotment is only 60 acres, and the shortfall is paid annually at 50 yuan per mu. Fentian is very close to Liangxiyi, but the cultivation is not good, and the field management is also rough. When Wuwang saw him, he took off his shirt and went to the fields. Zheng Anping couldn't stop him, so he had to follow him.
When they came out this time, they didn't bring any farm tools. All field farming was impossible. They just picked up small stones in the field, wrapped them in tattered clothes, and threw them to the edge of the field. Wu Wang also looked at the water situation and said, "I will bring some grass to clear it tomorrow."
Zheng Anping said: "Li Tian is not here for a while. We will meet all the officials one day, so we can't lose it." Wu Wang was a little scared when he heard that he was going to meet the officials. Zheng Anping said: "We are all peers. If we don't see each other, how can we get along with each other in the future?" Wu Wang reluctantly nodded.
