Qiao Feng's eyes widened and he said: "Master, I am not doing this for personal fame or fortune, and I don't need anyone's praise. I am just doing this for my own peace of mind."
The sadness of some people seems to be caused by the womb. This sadness can be turned into greater energy, which can not only move others, but also move himself. Qiao Feng fell into a deep self-movement at this time.
Huang Shang said that it was enough for this purpose. It was impossible to say more. She raised her thumb to Qiao Feng and said: "Okay! Just think about it clearly. Feng'er, at this point, I am far inferior to you." .”
Huang Shang's sudden praise, especially the comparison with himself, made Qiao Feng a little embarrassed.
Although he had the idea of being a hero in the past, his thoughts were still very vague. After this time, Qiao Feng began to think carefully about what kind of person he wanted to be.
After listening to the master's words, Qiao Feng suddenly understood and said: "Master, if you refuse to be an official of the imperial court, you must have seen through the hypocrisy and shamelessness of the imperial court."
Huang Shang smiled but did not answer, and said: "Many things cannot be clearly understood in a simple sentence or two, nor are they black and white. Different perspectives lead to different ways of thinking about problems. Think about it, we The population of Song Dynasty was several times that of Liao Dynasty, so why did they always lose in wars?"
"Why?"
How could a young boy like Qiao Feng think about such a problem?
Huang Shang asked again: "Since the Liao army is far superior to the Song army, why not just destroy the Song Dynasty directly, but also sign the 'Chanyuan Alliance'?"
This is even more beyond what Qiao Feng can understand.
Huang Shang said: "I always ask you to read more and understand the truth for yourself instead of following what others say. The Khitans are cruel? How many Khitans do you know? How many Khitans have you met? Song people are all good people. ?"
A few words stopped Qiao Feng.
Huang Shang said: "Chanyuan's alliance with the Liao and Song Dynasties is a country of brothers. The Song Dynasty gives Liao 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 pieces of silk every year. You say this is a loss of power and an insult to the country, but if we continue to fight, how many people will die? ? And this money is just a drop in the bucket for Song Dynasty."
Qiao Feng asked in confusion: "Master, do you think this covenant is right?"
Huang Shang shook his head and said: "I don't comment on whether this covenant is right or wrong. Everyone has their own opinion."
Qiao Feng said: "Wouldn't it be better if we could defeat the Liao Kingdom and prevent them from harassing us anymore? Just like now, although there is no continuous war, the Liao people still harass the border from time to time, and many people still suffer. "
Huang Shang smiled and said: "The problem is that we can't win."
Qiao Feng said: "Why can't we win? Our population is so much larger than theirs, and there are so many martial arts heroes and loyal people willing to defend the country, why can't we win?"
Huang Shang said: "Our army is not used to resist foreign invasion. The top priority of our army is to avoid the separatist situation of the previous vassal towns. It is used to prevent rebellion."
Qiao Feng said: "Is it more important to guard against one's own people than against foreigners?"
Huang Shang said: "The emperor knows very well that the Liao Kingdom seems powerful, but in fact it is unable to destroy us. Our economy, technology, population, and culture are all much better than theirs. But if the generals rebel and the warlords fight, it will be It will kill him. As for the death of a few ordinary people, it is not even counted as ringworm, it can be completely ignored."
"this……"
How could Qiao Feng understand such a problem? He also didn't understand why a living life could be so ignored.
Huang Shang didn't know what he thought of and said again: "I would rather be with a friend than a domestic slave."
After saying "hehe" he laughed twice.
These two sentences came suddenly. Huang Shang saw Qiao Feng's confusion and said: "This is just my family's opinion. I can't tell whether it is right or wrong, so you still have to think for yourself."
The more Huang Shang talked, the more confused Qiao Feng became.
Huang Shang asked: "Are you still determined to assassinate the Liao army commander?"
Qiao Feng said: "Yes, I know very well that I am doing this for the people, not to protect the emperor or the court."
Huang Shang suddenly asked: "If the Liao army really went south, how can you be sure whether he wanted to go south in the first place, or whether he wanted to go south to take revenge because you assassinated the coach?"
Qiao Feng was stunned again and murmured: "Have the heroes of the Beggar Clan found out clearly?"
Huang Shang asked again: "Why can the words of the beggar gang be accurate? You must know that the beggar is at the bottom of society. Even if he has enough gangs and is well-informed, national affairs are decided by the people at the top, and they are national secrets. No matter how many people there are in the Beggar Clan, they are still two completely unrelated circles. How can he be sure that he can find out such high-level secrets?"
Qiao Feng couldn't answer.
Huang Shang said: "Feng'er, you have a family and a country in your heart. This is not a bad thing. If you want to protect the country and the people, it is a good thing to take the initiative to take responsibility. But nothing in the world is simple, and national affairs must be handled with caution. So With your martial arts skills and the power of the Beggar Gang, it is not difficult to kill the Liao army commander. The difficulty lies in your accurate judgment. But don’t end up provoking a war between the two countries because you killed the Liao army commander. . Even if we win by then, the sins of those dead and wounded soldiers and people will still fall on you."
Qiao Feng asked: "Master, what should I do?"
Huang Shang said: "I said, it's easy to kill the commander of the Liao Army, whether you have it calculated or not, but it's not up to you when and how to kill him. You can decide for yourself."
Qiao Feng nodded firmly.
Huang Shang could feel that Qiao Feng seemed to be calmer after his words.
Huang Shang said: "In that case, you can go."
Qiao Feng left resolutely, without any confusion in his heart when he left, only with firm belief.
Li Canghai asked Huang Shang: "So do you think the court wants Feng'er to be an official, or does it not want him to be an official?"
Huang Shang said: "I have no idea. I just let Feng'er think clearly. You can choose whatever you want."
Li Canghai said: "With Feng'er's temper, how could he have a good impression of the imperial court after listening to your words?"
Huang Shang said: "This is also good. He understands his truest thoughts. If a person like him really becomes an official, he will die faster."
Li Canghai said: "So you also know."
Huang Shang said: "Of course I know."
Li Canghai said: "Then you still persuade him to become an official?"
Huang Shang said: "I asked him to think clearly about the stakes involved. It is not his responsibility to take such a big risk to assassinate the enemy coach. There will be no praise if he succeeds. No one will sympathize with him if he fails or even loses his life." . He knew this and was still willing to be used. I can't do this kind of thing, but I won't stop him either."
Li Canghai asked: "What if he really chooses to be an official?"
Huang Shang said: "The possibility is too small. But even if he really chooses to be an official, I will guarantee that he will become an official."
Li Canghai asked curiously: "Aren't you afraid that he will die early?"
