"Okay, I'll just listen to what you guys have to say. If you can't explain this matter clearly today, see if I don't break your legs!"
The few remaining beards on Gao Bo's chin were blown up by him.
It seemed that the old man was really angry. The corners of Liu Deng's mouth twitched. Why didn't these old men believe in him?
"Speaking of my three ancestors, do I seem to be such an out-of-touch person in your eyes?"
Liu Deng's face was full of bitterness.
"It doesn't look like it!"
Fu Sheng hesitated for a moment and then said.
Liu Deng almost cried because he finally had someone who believed in him.
"You're not a kid, you're not!"
But before Liu Deng could say his moved words, Fu Sheng's next words made him almost want to hit him to death.
"Hahahaha, where did you learn to be so crooked?"
Han Zhi laughed and pointed at Fu Sheng's nose, not knowing what he was laughing about.
"I said, can you two be more serious?"
Uncle Gao glared at the two of them angrily.
Only then did Han Zhi suppress his smile.
"Okay, boy, tell us what grievances you have as soon as possible. Otherwise, don't blame us three old men for being rude to you!"
Being interrupted by Han Zhi and Fu Sheng, the righteous aura just now seemed to be gone, which made Gao Bo feel very dissatisfied.
"Actually, this is also the boy's helpless move!"
Liu Deng still believed in the character of these three old men, but Liu Deng was not stupid enough to tell the three old men about the secret things Zhao Wengu and the others had done.
He just told the three old men about the situation in South Vietnam, and then told the three old men about the death of King Changsha. The three old men understood it in an instant.
Each of them has read poetry and books, and of course they have also dabbled in military literature over the years.
"It's just that even if you take South Vietnam, will the imperial court have the ability to govern it?"
Fu Sheng hesitated for a moment, then asked.
"Ancestor, as long as we conquer the territory, don't you still worry about not having officials? The killers in the army are all idle and have nothing to do, and the lower-level officials let them stand in front of them one by one. Once we have the right candidates on hand, we can directly queue them up! Besides, even if we take a step back, the students in our academy should have a place to go in five years!"
Hearing what Liu Deng said, the three old men were really stunned.
"Are you so sure that you can conquer Lingnan with tens of thousands of people this time?"
Uncle Gao frowned and looked at Liu Deng as if he were a monster.
"The three ancestors don't know something. The boy has arranged a lot of secret hands in South Vietnam in advance. The purpose of sending troops this time is not to fight, but to capture the hearts of the people!"
"Did you make a secret move in advance?"
Han Zhi suddenly discovered the crux of the problem.
Looking at Liu Deng like a monster, does this guy really have any ability to predict the future?
"The kid originally wanted to teach the Lingnan Three Kingdoms a lesson and earn some copper coins from them. However, no one expected that the Changsha King would die at this time..."
As Liu Deng was talking, he suddenly felt that he was about to reveal his secret, so he immediately changed the topic and used the Spring and Autumn style of writing to describe the hidden tricks he had done.
"Even if there is a food crisis in South Vietnam, do you have to defeat South Vietnam? Can't the two countries coexist peacefully?"
Han Zhi hesitated for a moment and then said.
"Old Ancestor, do you know how many people were killed and injured in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States wars? If the First Emperor had not come out back then, I am afraid that the world would still be fighting for years! If I don't seize this good opportunity, I am afraid that I will think about it in the future. To pacify Lingnan, future generations still don’t know how many lives they will have to pay for it. It’s not that I’m obsessed with great achievements, but as a member of the royal family, I have the responsibility to ensure that our Chinese clan’s gold is intact! I also ask the three ancestors to be wise!”
After Liu Deng finished speaking, he knelt down on one knee in front of the three old men.
"What are you doing? My old man is confused. Get up, get up!"
Han Zhi was stunned, sighed, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Liu Deng up.
"Okay, okay, good boy! I just didn't expect that at such a young age, you would actually start using self-destructive tactics..."
Gao Bo finally let out a long breath.
The three old men did not think highly of Liu Deng.
In their eyes, Liu Deng is now the same as their nephews, that's why they had such a big reaction to Liu Deng's absurd reasons before.
As the saying goes, only with deep love comes deep responsibility.
They were afraid that Liu Deng would make a mistake. After figuring out the whole story, the three old men discovered that Liu Deng had unknowingly become the White Jade King of the Han Dynasty. column.
"Young man, this is also a helpless act. Please forgive me, my three ancestors!"
After hearing what Uncle Gao said, Liu Deng understood in his heart that he had finally passed this hurdle for these three old men.
"Go on, go on, do your own thing, just do it with a clear conscience. What does a mere false reputation mean?"
Among the three, Fu Sheng was the most carefree. After laughing twice, he stood up shakily, reached out and patted Liu Deng on the shoulder and said.
"Thank you, ancestor!"
Liu Deng took a deep breath, then took a few steps back again, and bowed deeply to the three old men.
"Boy, straighten your back. After you walk out of this room, you will be the white jade pillar that holds the sky for all mankind! Maybe the current group of literati will not understand what you did today, but future generations, I will give you a fair review eventually!”
Uncle Gao suddenly spoke.
"Thank you, ancestor!"
Liu Deng's eyes turned red and tears almost fell out.
Who wants to be a bastard when he can be a good person?
Isn’t this all forced by the emperor?
But no matter what, after getting the understanding of the three old men, there will be no other problems in the academy.
If any blind person dares to talk privately behind his back, will he really think that the three old men are all vegetarians?
For Liu Deng, the country of Dai can be in chaos, but the academy cannot be in chaos.
This Wenchang Academy carries all his expectations for the future.
At this time, only three old men can help him stabilize the situation in the entire academy.
Otherwise, if the gentlemen in the academy who didn't know the truth were incited by someone with intentions and left one after another, then he would really have no place to cry.
After all, reputation is something that you can't even see or touch, but once it's lost, it's really difficult to rebuild it again!
