Xu Fenglei shook his head.
"I'm not being motivated."
He said,
"Actually, I am tired of life in Chang'an, but I never have a reason to leave."
"This time His Majesty's relegation to me is considered to be in line with my wishes."
"He is an emperor. If he speaks Chrysostom and then goes back on his word, the impact will be bad...so, let's leave it at that."
Eunuch Gao: "..."
Xu Gong's tone was calm, but he could feel a sense of determination.
He had a feeling... Even if he knelt down and begged his grandfather and grandma to go back, he would never return to Chang'an.
"Then slave... I really don't know how to explain to His Majesty..."
Eunuch Gao smiled bitterly, looking embarrassed.
"Then you can say that Xu Fenglei deliberately resisted the decree!"
Xu Fenglei smiled and said,
"In this case, when Your Majesty gets angry, he might not even let me become the Prime Minister, and just ask me to pack up and go back to my hometown!"
"In that case, I will just go back to Moyu Mountain to practice Taoism."
After hearing this, Eunuch Gao was helpless.
"Well, it seems that His Majesty is not sincere enough."
He is also a smart man. He stopped entangled and gathered the imperial decree.
"In this case, I believe that Your Majesty will be willing to show enough sincerity to make you change your mind."
"I won't disturb you any more, slave. I'll take my leave."
After saying that, he bowed, turned and left.
Xu Fenglei nodded slightly.
The eunuch who was able to work in front of Li Shimin was quite intelligent and his attitude was very low.
However, consider that after the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor was controlled by eunuchs, and even the army was controlled by eunuchs... That was also a headache.
"Godfather, you are awesome!"
Wu Erya pulled Xu Fenglei's sleeves, and there were almost stars in her eyes.
"If you have the chance to return to that position where one person is inferior to ten thousand people, you don't want it!"
"So cool! This is the real indifference to fame and fortune, this is the real Taoist scholar!"
Xu Fenglei laughed and rubbed her little head.
"Actually, I just wanted to be lazy."
He smiled and said,
"The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Even though I am dawdling around in my daily life, I am responsible for many major events! It makes me physically and mentally exhausted!"
"Now that I have a chance to get out, a fool will continue to jump into that fire pit!"
Of course, he actually had another reason for not saying it.
From destroying the Wu family's dragon vein, to capsizing his boat and being bitten by anacondas, nearly dying and being demoted, Xu Fenglei had some new insights in his heart.
Perhaps, you don’t have to intervene directly to change the trajectory of history.
As Yuan Shoucheng said, good intentions may not necessarily mean doing good things, but may make things develop in a worse direction!
so……
He planned to withdraw first, no longer care about the affairs of the world, and let it develop...
Let’s look at what would happen to the Tang Dynasty without Xu Fenglei’s intervention?
Will all his efforts be in vain?
Will everything you have arranged become deserted?
All of this is unknown... Let's just wait and see.
Gugu...
A voice came, pulling Xu Fenglei out of his thoughts.
He saw Wu Erya touching his belly and pouting a little aggrievedly.
"Oh...my godfather was so absorbed in his thoughts that he forgot to arrange your meals."
Xu Fenglei slapped his head and shouted with some embarrassment,
"That waiter! Bring the noodles quickly!"
"Does it take that long to make two bowls of noodles? My kids are all hungry!"
As soon as his voice came out, there was silence all around!
The post house that was noisy just now has become extremely quiet.
Not only did the officials present dare not speak, they even chewed their meals carefully and did not dare to smack their lips at all!
An invisible pressure enveloped everyone's hearts, making everyone behave.
This is very strange.
He was still the same person, and Xu Fenglei didn't deliberately put on airs.
But now that their identity was revealed, everyone was automatically in awe and did not dare to make the slightest mistake in front of Xu Fenglei.
"Godfather..."
"They all seem to be afraid of you..."
Wu Erya whispered,
"It's not fun anymore..."
The public spirit and quackery that she liked suddenly disappeared.
"Yeah, it's not fun anymore."
Xu Fenglei nodded and agreed,
"So we don't have to stay here for a long time. Let's go to a place where no one knows us. That would be interesting!"
Wu Erya nodded repeatedly.
She means the same thing!
"Xu...Gong Xu."
At this time, the waiter of the post house walked up to Xu Fenglei with a plate in his hands and said cautiously:
"Just now, I was ignorant and neglected you."
"I also ask you, sir, not to remember the faults of villains...don't take it personally."
"These are several plates of mutton and two bottles of Bamboo Leaf Green. You and the young lady will eat and drink first. There are about ten dishes to follow. The young lady will tell the kitchen to prepare them right away!"
Snap.
Two large plates of freshly cut cooked mutton were placed on the table. The waiter of the inn opened the cork of the bamboo leaf green wine and poured the wine for the two of them himself.
"A full cup! I want to drink a full cup!"
"So, who are you looking down on?"
Wu Erya said arrogantly.
"Yes, yes...Miss, whatever you say is what you say."
"If you have any needs, just tell Xiaoxiao, and Xiaoxiao will do everything."
The waiter nodded and bowed, looking extremely respectful.
However, Wu Erya found it boring again when he was like this.
"I still like your look of looking down on others just now, with a bit of sarcasm in the corner of your mouth. Please recover."
She ordered,
"Otherwise it wouldn't be fun."
"Ah? This... ho ho, ho ho ho ho... the eldest lady is really good at joking. How dare you look around with those dog eyes?"
The waiter at the post house looked embarrassed and smiled apologetically.
"Okay, okay, girl, don't torment him, he didn't say anything rude."
Xu Fenglei waved his hand and said,
"There are too many dishes. I don't want the next dozen dishes."
"Just remove the plate of mutton and add two vegetarian dishes and one soup."
"I can't finish the food. There are only two of us. Even the emperor didn't eat more than a dozen dishes."
This sudden courtesy made him feel helpless.
He himself did not agree to the emperor's reinstatement, and now he is actually a sixth-grade general as prime minister.
What are these people doing?
More respectful than I am to my own father...
"Yes Yes……"
"Young man must follow your instructions. Whatever you say will be whatever you say."
"And the eldest lady, you can give me whatever you want, and the younger one will definitely do it. I just ask Mr. Xu and the eldest lady not to bear any grudge against the younger one..."
The second company of the post house claimed that he was as humble as he could be.
It is right that Xu Fenglei will be the prime minister now.
But he was also the Duke Xu who dared to reject the emperor and disobey the emperor's decree!
Listening to what the father-in-law said just now... maybe His Majesty will show his sincerity and invite this man! For such a heavyweight, he was really flustered!
People can drown themselves with just a sip of spit!
"Don't think too much and add drama to yourself."
Xu Fenglei waved his hand and said,
"We're not the mean kind of people."
"go Go."
The waiter in the post house felt like he was being pardoned and ran to the kitchen with a lot of gratitude.
At the same time, all the onlookers in the post hall were also a little eager to move.
"Tell me, should we go visit Mr. Xu?"
"Isn't this... not good? Will it disturb him?"
"What's the point? We finally have an opportunity to become familiar with each other! We can't miss it! Let's make a toast and leave. You won't annoy anyone!"
"makes sense……"
"You go, you go, you go and give us a sample first, and I will observe and observe..."
"..."
For them, when they see such a heavyweight official, they naturally want to curry favor with him!
Just a few words from the boss can save you decades of detours! This temptation... who can resist it?
But at the same time, there are risks in doing so.
If someone likes peace and quiet and you go up to disturb them, wouldn't that only increase their disgust?
Therefore, although everyone has this intention, they do not have the courage...
"Come on, girl, do you want to try it?"
Xu Fenglei didn't pay attention to the changes in the atmosphere in the restaurant. He just dipped his chopsticks into the wine and said with a smile,
"See if you can taste it."
When Wu Erya saw the chopsticks, he snorted softly and picked up the wine bowl in front of him.
"Who are you looking down on? I want a big bowl of wine!"
"I'll just give it this bowl... cough cough cough, cough cough cough!"
"It's so spicy, so spicy, so spicy! Cough cough cough...my throat is going to burn!"
She didn't know the bounds of heaven and earth, so she took a sip directly into her mouth and was taught how to behave in an instant!
"Hahahaha... Are you still trying to be brave?"
Xu Fenglei laughed and said,
"You girl, you just like to mess around! You have no girlish temperament at all!"
"Learn from your sister Qingquan and sister Lizhi, you know?"
Wu Erya reluctantly swallowed the wine in his mouth and drank several mouthfuls of water before he regained his composure.
Her throat felt tight, but even so, she still held her head high.
"Why should I learn from them? Of course they are good, but I also have my own way!"
Wu Erya waved his fist and said proudly,
"I want to get out of my own way!"
Xu Fenglei helplessly held his forehead.
This girl...has a chuunibyou!
At this moment, someone finally plucked up the courage to come up and propose a toast.
"I pay my respects to Duke Xu. Your name is as loud as thunder! I have always admired you in my heart! Now that I have met the real person, my long-cherished wish has come true! I'd like to give you a toast! Let's do it!"
The person who came was a burly man. He spoke very quickly and finished his drink.
The wine bowl was shown towards Xu Fenglei, and he turned around and left without any hesitation.
Xu Fenglei was a little surprised by this clean and neat style.
"You're welcome."
He also took a sip, which was a sign of appreciation.
He still prefers this way of greeting, which is much better than awkward chatting without saying anything to increase his presence.
The burly man made a gesture, and the others naturally followed suit. They came up, said a few words, offered a glass of wine and left.
This scene is like paying New Year greetings to the elders during the New Year.
But the funny thing is that Xu Fenglei is actually a little younger than them...
After a round of walking, even though Xu Fenglei only took a symbolic sip every time, his cheeks were a little red at the moment.
"Godfather, you are so proud."
Wu Erya said with envy,
"Everyone admires you."
"I don't know if I can have such a day... It's difficult for a girl to want to do that, right?"
Xu Fenglei was slightly startled.
As expected of the Martial Emperor, I have loved the feeling of being surrounded and admired by everyone since I was a child! She wants to be that person!
"That's not necessarily the case."
He said seriously,
"The Tang Dynasty is an open country. As long as women make achievements, they will still be admired by others!"
"For example, your sister Qingquan, who is in charge of Fenglei Bank, is the richest woman in the world! She can mobilize money and quickly arm an army! Any investment of hers can change a city!"
"Such a strange woman will definitely be respected by others! Her name will definitely remain in the history books! And her introduction is definitely not the daughter of an emperor or the princess of Xiangcheng. Her introduction must be Feng Lei The helmsman of the bank, the controller of the economic lifeline of the Tang Dynasty!"
"And your beautiful sister, she is accomplished in medicine and specializes in gynecology to treat women. Over time, she will also be known as the goddess doctor! Such a miracle doctor is naturally respectable and lovely! Whether it is a common person or a historian, Her contribution will never be forgotten!"
Wu Erya listened carefully, his eyes sparkling with light.
"They were all trained by you, godfather! Godfather is so awesome!"
She was eager to try,
"Then I want to become a strange woman! How does my godfather plan to train me?"
"I'm very smart! I know everything!"
Xu Fenglei smiled.
This girl is indeed extremely smart. No matter what she is asked to learn, she will master it quickly.
Such children are actually much more difficult to train than those who have only one outstanding talent!
"I know everything, but I'm not good at anything!"
He laughed and cursed,
"You have to tell me what kind of person you want to be!"
"Qingquan was interested in money and finance, so I let her go to Fenglei Bank; Lizhi was interested in treating diseases and saving people, so I let her become a disciple of Sun Simiao and learn medical skills."
"Then, girl, tell me, what are you most interested in?"
Wu Erya scratched his head.
"The most interesting..."
"That doesn't seem to be the case..."
She held her chin, tilted her head and said,
"I just want to be cool! It would be best if every time I appear, everyone's eyes will be on me, and everyone will regard me as the focus!"
"I like the feeling of being in the spotlight!"
"Do you like to show your holiness in front of others?" Xu Fenglei said with a smile.
"Appearing as a saint in front of people? Oh my, that's a good word!"
Wu Erya clapped his hands and said,
"Yes! It's just like the manifestation of gods and Buddhas! Everyone who sees me must pay homage to me!"
"That's so satisfying!"
Xu Fenglei laughed.
Appearing as a saint in front of others... To put it simply, you just love to show off!
This little girl was born to be an emperor!
However, he can no longer be the emperor now...but the person's need to appear before him still needs to be met.
Um……
"Okay, then godfather will help you train in this direction!"
Xu Fenglei touched her head and said with a smile,
"From now on, our girl will just do her best and make a surprise when she does it!"
"If you want to do this, it's not enough to have self-confidence. You have to start cultivating your aura from now on! It's the domineering aura of an emperor, general, and minister. You have to have it!"
"Like this, your delicate body will shake, and people from all over will come to worship you! How domineering is that?"
When Wu Erya heard this, his eyes shone brightly!
"Okay, godfather, I want to learn this!"
"Just train me in this direction! My delicate body is shaken, and people from all over come to worship me! Hee hee, hee hee hee..."
Thinking of his awesome self in the future, Wu Erya couldn't help but smile.
