There was no other way, so Chen Xiuping had to agree to the two old men to write two more paintings.

This scholar is troublesome. At this point, he actually thinks about writing instead of eating.

However, Chen Xiuping's treatment was really good. He was grinding like a king and Liu Jianyuan was laying the paper. Chen Xiuping quickly took over the work from the two old men, and the two old men were not afraid of trying to hurt him.

"Shuhei, just write your song "The Turtle is Longevity" for me. It's quite long, so just write me one piece."

"What is "Gui Sui Shou"?"

Wang Dao did not respond to Liu Jianyuan, but carefully watched Chen Xiuping write.

Chen Xiuping adjusted his breath, and since the king demanded it, he would just write it.

Chen Xiuping is good at writing eloquently and quickly. After all, in his previous life, he practiced calligraphy when he was young. He emphasized elegance and ease, but he still writes slowly when he should be slow.

Wang Dao and Liu Jianyuan looked at Chen Xiuping's words gradually floating on the paper, their eyes full of admiration. Wang Dao and Liu Jianyuan both had the same view. They wrote with spirit, free and easy at first, and then full of stamina. They wrote well.

Character.

Liu Jianyuan, on the other hand, has more ideas. This poem "The Turtle Lives Longevity" simply expresses the situation that middle-aged men hope for themselves, a healthy body and ambitions that have not been wiped out. Back then, if Wang Dao saw this poem,

I'm afraid it won't be like this anymore.

After writing it, Wang Dao hurriedly grabbed it, "Haha, it's mine."

"Whatever you want to grab is yours. Mr. Chen, just write the same thing."

Liu Jianyuan's eyes were like looking at an old man with abnormal mind.

After settling the conflict between the two, we were finally able to start dinner.

During the meal, the two old men took their time, but Chen Xiuping did not follow this habit of chewing slowly. When eating, you have to eat until you are full. If you are not full, what is eating?

As a result, Chen Xiuping was eating hard, and the two old people were talking while eating.

Wang Dao waved his hand, motioned for his servants to go down, and asked: "Tell me, why are you here to inspect Jiangning this time?"

After hearing this, Liu Jianyuan glanced at Chen Xiuping and hesitated to speak.

"It's okay, Shuhei is not the kind of person who can't hold his tongue. Just tell me."

"You said that you resigned out of anger back then, but now you are interested in this officialdom."

"Huh, unlike you, I can still stay in that smoky place."

"What are you talking about? What is a smoky land? Without the support of old bones like us, the group of people above the court would just say whatever they say."

"Forget it, don't mention my business, let's get down to business. I feel that something is very wrong this year. The Great Khanate has not seen any movement since the beginning of autumn last year. I don't know how they survived the winter."

"well......"

Liu Jianyuan sighed, took a sip of tea and continued: "It wasn't last autumn when the Holy One made a marriage alliance and sent various winter supplies. Otherwise, how could those wolves allow us to survive this winter safely?

The first time I came to Jiangning was to check how many granaries were left in various places down there, so that I could be prepared in case the wolves attacked again."

After hearing this, Wang Dao slapped the table angrily, and Chen Xiuping was too embarrassed to eat anymore.

"Then, what do you mean, Your Majesty? A few days ago, my elder brother came back with a letter from the Feng Family. He said that there are frequent conflicts at the border and the Great Khanate is already gathering an army."

"It's not just like that. The mainstream voice in the court now is to make peace. We old men are getting older. We have made several reports to mobilize troops to the border, but the emperor suppressed them."

After Wang Dao heard this, he also sighed with a long sigh, let's fight this war, the people will suffer, and the people's children will die; don't fight, the taxes paid every year will become heavier year by year, and the people will still suffer.

.

Thinking back to ten years ago, I and those close friends advocated reform with all their strength, and the country should vigorously develop armaments. However, those few shameless old thieves joined forces with foreign enemies, and the opportunity for reform had to be passed up.

It has been ten years now, and the emperor is becoming more and more serious about seeking peace. He is afraid that if he cannot get what those wolves need for their ambition that day, the battle will still have to be fought.
