At this point, Jia Quan paused for a moment before continuing: "Don't say anything else then. It will be difficult for you to explain to the Emperor alone. If someone in the court takes the opportunity to stir up trouble and shoot a cold arrow behind your back, you may immediately You will be trapped in a precarious situation on all sides. Even if you are full of words, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain clearly. "
"My lord, I have only one thing to say to you when I go to Zhengzhou. When it's time to cut it off, take action when it's time to take action. Don't be sloppy in doing things. Use Cao Amo's attitude that he would rather let me betray the world than let the world betray me. Only ideas can lead to success. If you hesitate even a little, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles."
"If the generals accompanying you on the expedition are reliable, you'd better let go of military affairs. Although you have read military books, you have not participated in even the smallest war. This is undoubtedly your weakness. Since you are very Why do you have to meddle in things you don’t understand when you are good at it?”
"That would probably be counterproductive to your original intention. Since ancient times, military and political incoordination has turned victory into defeat. If you read history books as a prince, you will definitely know about it. So Quan hopes that the web page will go away, and it is time to withdraw power. When the time comes, we must take back power. There is no doubt about this, but we must also learn to delegate power.”
"Military morale and morale can often not be bought with money alone. If you want to win the hearts of generals, you must first give them complete trust. Therefore, Quan advises the prince, do not give up all your rights here." It's all in your own hands.
This will only arouse the resentment of the military generals. "
"Even if you are quick for a while, it will not help the prince to gain the morale of the army. It is far better to catch the big ones and let go of the small ones, and give full trust to the generals than to control everything in your own hands. Your Majesty, you can leave now. No matter how much military merit you earn, what's the use? You are already the current prince, where can you be promoted?"
"On the contrary, it will give the emperor, the court, and even the world the impression that you only know how to fight, or even be a warrior in the army. Now, the false names you want are of no use at all, and may even be counterproductive. Compared with these, seize Military morale is the most important thing.”
"Quan knows that Brother Fan will also remind you of these, but after all, you are the one who makes the decision? So, Quan Jin'er said a little more. I hope that the prince will think twice before acting. Don't take everything into your hands. That will do you a lot of harm but nothing good. The Duke of Zhou spits out his support and the world returns to its heart. A person in a superior position should have a mind that is open to all rivers and lakes in order to achieve great things."
When Jia Quan said these points, Huang Qiong nodded and said: "Sir, you are indeed an old man in planning for the country. I must keep these points in mind. But I also know that Su Changshi is not the best person. You guessed it, sir." Yes, I am taking Su Changshi with me this time, and I do have the idea of letting him at least temporarily act as the magistrate of Zhengzhou when necessary."
"This person is indeed a bit old-fashioned, but he still has enough moral integrity. After this incident, Zhengzhou Mansion can no longer withstand the torment. What Zhengzhou Mansion needs to deal with the aftermath is his strong command. As for the others, I have this king If you support him from behind, I think Zhongshu Province and the Sixth Department will not dare to play any tricks."
"Besides, although this person has said that these people are involved in people everywhere and have almost offended many important officials in the government and the public. But some things may not be so absolute. With his habit, I think the officials of Zhongshu Province and the Sixth Ministry may not really dare to To offend him. After all, being included in a book by him may not be that easy for these guys."
"Sir, some things may not be as we imagined. At least, in the eyes of some officials, being included in a book by him is not something worthwhile. And sir, think about this person's participation in the book for more than ten years. Many officials have been killed. Although because of this problem, they have been sitting on the bench."
"But he has never been kicked out of the officialdom, and he is still progressing step by step. He has almost been promoted without falling behind at one level. Do you think that no one can protect him from behind? With his character of not taking things seriously when he offends people. , who will be really protecting him behind his back? With Mr.’s intelligence, this should be obvious at a glance.”
"The officials in the Zhongshu Province and the Sixth Ministry are not stupid, and they can all see this. Therefore, although there will be things that embarrass him, they will not be as serious as the gentleman imagined. As for the other things that the gentleman said On one point, I agree very much. This person is indeed very moral, but his mind is also a bit rigid and dogmatic."
"As for Zhengzhou's aftermath, we can't just resort to strong-arm tactics, as that will also ruin the situation. Giving him a flexible yet principled colleague is a solution. It's just that this person was a little uncomfortable for a while. It’s easy to find. I can only look at it in a hurry, and I will think of a solution by then.”
Having said this, Huang Qiong looked at the only two counselors in front of him and said: "Mr. Fan, make preparations first. I estimate that the imperial edict will be issued within half a day, and I will have to go to the Xiaoqi camp to sit in battle. And Jia Sir, I will leave the palace to you. I will not give any further notice to Dr. Li. You just ask him to prepare for the expedition with the army."
"This time, I am going to take away all the guards in the palace. As for the other people, I will only take Liu Hu with me. He is from Zhengzhou and is familiar with the place. He is a local snake who is needed to deal with the aftermath. As for me After leaving, the safety of the mansion will be left to the people Madam retrieves."
Huang Qiong stood up, ordered Li Hai outside to prepare a table of wine and food, and then said: "I estimate that it will be years before I come back from this trip. Today, the few of us have a few drinks, which can be regarded as a celebration for me and the king." Mr. Fan, please see me off. Especially for Mr. Fan, this is the first time for you to drink with me."
"Although I got this job this time, there is really nothing to celebrate. Father and son can kill each other, brother kill each other, it is a shame for the Tian family. It's just this separation, although it can only be a few months at most. But after all, we can't see each other for several months, So I’m having a small gathering with you two gentlemen today, please don’t take it personally.”
Li Hai moved very quickly, and it didn't take long to prepare a table of not luxurious, but still sumptuous food and wine. The six dishes and one soup are all dishes that Huang Qiong, the cook in the mansion, has learned to make. Among the three people present, Jia Quan, who used to be a bit unruly, has already restrained his original madness in front of Huang Qiong.
As for Huang Qiong, under the education of her mother in this life, she has already paid attention to the rules in everything, and she has always eaten carefully when eating. On the other hand, Fan Jian, who had dinner with Huang Qiong for the first time, seemed to have inherited some of Jia Quan's bohemian character. Although he obviously had a good upbringing, he didn't open his mouth or shut up like Jia Quan did.
But eating the statue is like being reincarnated by a starving ghost. With chopsticks in the left hand and a wine glass in the right hand, you can eat and drink happily. In fact, although these dishes are all made by the chefs in Fuzhong according to the methods taught by Huang Qiong, the taste is still somewhat different from those cooked by Huang Qiong himself. Jia Quan, who had tasted Huang Qiong's personal cooking skills, only tasted these dishes.
On the contrary, it was sent to King Yong. King Shu liked the famous Jiannanchun wine he brought from Shu. But this Mr. Fan has never had the opportunity to taste Huang Qiong's craftsmanship. It was extremely satisfying to eat these stir-fried dishes prepared by the chef. Most of the dishes went into his stomach.
Especially the extremely greasy braised elbow, almost all of it went into his stomach. After draining the glass of Jian Nanchun in one gulp, he put down the wine glass in his hand with satisfaction and said, "His Majesty the King of England is laughing at me. I am not a good person in this life, but I just like this kind of food. If there is such delicious food, I can satisfy my hunger every day. A lifetime is enough."
Hearing this guy's emotion, Jia Quan smiled and said: "Look at your brother, he comes from a scholarly family. Why do you eat this delicious food like a glutton? The prince is a man who cherishes blessings, and I can't use this." Greasy stuff. No one is trying to snatch it from you, so why are you so anxious?"
When Brother Fan Jian heard Jia Quan's teasing and sarcastic words, he rolled his eyes in a very indecent manner, but he didn't care and said with a smile: "Old Jia, please stop bragging for me. , My family is not a scholarly family. It is a businessman family full of things. Compared with the prince, it is at the level of a rich man at best. "
"Although in recent years, the elderly at home have also learned to pay attention to some rules, but they are not as strict as the royal family. Deep down, they still have those rude atmosphere. Besides, in the current era of delicious food, what are you doing with so many rules? Drinking wine and eating large pieces of meat. It’s so satisfying, isn’t it?”
"Rules are dead, but people are alive, right? At least now, living up to the food is the best thing to do. If you still talk about so many rules, it's a bit pretentious. It's like asking you to face a beauty , I can only look but can’t move, so it’s extremely uncomfortable, isn’t it?”
After that, he poured himself another glass of Shuzhong's fine wine. After drinking it in one gulp, he continued: "Today's dish is a good dish, and the wine is even better. In the past, when I was at home, my family did not allow me to drink. . Only elders in the family can drink this fine Sichuan liquor."
"If you want to drink some good wine, you have to steal it secretly. I don't dare to drink more, for fear that when I greet my ancestors the next day, I will be caught drinking and get scolded. My grandfather has a nose bigger than a dog's Ling. If he caught me drinking, I would be scolded half to death by him that time."
"But if you can't drink this wine happily, what's the point? Although I can barely be regarded as a scholar, I still admire those warriors when it comes to drinking. I drink a big bowl and drink it happily. Now I finally get the opportunity to drink freely and don't take advantage of it. As long as you drink enough, that's fine. If you have wine today, you'll get drunk today, and we'll explain the matter tomorrow."
Seeing this guy's actions, Huang Qiong smiled and did not stop him. Compared to Jia Quan, who is becoming more and more calm, Huang Qiong likes this guy very much. Although this guy looks bohemian on the surface, in fact, no matter what he says or does, he has a clear grasp of his size.
Huang Qiong was a little worried about this guy eating a lot of meat and drinking a lot of wine. Maybe this guy came from a bandit family. However, Huang Qiong immediately overturned his worries. What about his background as a bandit? As long as you have talent, you can use it for yourself.
What about those people from wealthy families? If they are really just idiots, how can they be attracted to themselves? The hero doesn't care about his origin, so why should he be too concerned about this person's identity? Although Sister Yao has not yet had time to tell this person's identity, being able to bring him back is enough to prove that this person is reliable.
Thinking of this, Huang Qiong smiled slightly and stopped worrying about it. He just raised his glass and said: "Since Mr. Fan likes it, we can have fun today. But starting from tomorrow, Mr. and I need to stop drinking. At least until I return from Zhengzhou, we can't drink this wine anymore." "
"In addition, I have arranged for someone to go to the Ministry of War to give Sir a name. After all, we have to be ready to enter the Knights Cavalry Camp at any time. Without a name in the Ministry of War, we cannot enter the Knights Cavalry Camp. As for today, Sir, there is no harm in just drinking. What I need is your sober mind, not your drunken mind. When Zhengzhou arrives, I will be celebrating with you."
