1018. The Bastard Seeing Mung Beans (Part 1)

The next day, Jing Wen brought Wang Xuance to the palace to prepare for this job report and interview. When Jing Wen took Wang Xuance to report, he actually saw an old man with a man in his forties also coming here. The old man was probably in his seventies or eighties, and obviously he was very unhappy when he saw his son.

"Dad, don't be angry!" said the son.

But the old man scolded, "How can I not be angry? You were dismissed from office every few days. If it weren't for the Emperor's sake, you wouldn't have had any good results. Look at the generals who were with you back then, all of them were in high positions and power, but you still did not achieve anything. Now Fang Pushe gives you a chance, you must change your temper well, otherwise the result will be the same."

"Dad, this is my temper. Can I change it?" said the middle-aged man.

"Is he Qiu Xinggong?" Jing Wen thought.

Jing Wen also heard about Qiu Xinggong, who could be said to be a veteran. He was actually a general of the Sui Dynasty, and later he joined Princess Pingyang with his superiors and fought with Princess Pingyang. After Princess Pingyang led his troops to join Li Yuan, he followed Li Shimin and became a subordinate of Li Shimin. But the only regret is that he has a bad temper and often has a criminal record of abuse of soldiers. If it was during the war, it would be a big crime for you to abuse prisoners. After all, don't abuse prisoners easily, otherwise it would suffer a lot of losses to the image of the army. It is precisely because of these problems that Qiu Xinggong was often dismissed.

After that, the problem continued. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, the world gradually became peaceful. Not only did Qiu Xinggong's bad temper not change at all, but it became more and more serious. The soldiers hated him, and Qiu Xinggong often beat soldiers and vented his anger when he was angry, which was not a good habit. Since ancient times, beating soldiers and vented their anger, it was not a good thing, and it was easy to stir up mutiny. Didn't Zhang Fei beat his generals back then, but the generals were chopped off their heads while he was drunk?

So because of this beating a soldier, he was dismissed several times. However, he did not change at all, and his temper was still so bad that everyone could not stand it. This time he was just dismissed, but now he is back again. Fang Xuanling proposed to throw him to the south to serve as the future Annan Protectorate, perhaps just to throw this disaster away so that everyone would not have to suffer. In addition, his father was also an official in Jiaozhou for many years, and was originally the general manager of Jiaozhou, so it was normal for his son to inherit his father's business.

Many of the generals of Qiu Xinggong were now senior generals. Most of them had titles. However, Qiu Xinggong often made mistakes, but now he was implicated without titles, and even his position was often dismissed. So his bad temper was considered to have made him suffer. A good person with a good future was made like this by this bad temper. If you want to love you, you might be sent to Annan and then used for waste. After all, the word waste utilization is not a good word, and no one wants to be regarded as waste and then use it!

"Is the Zun Jia a General Qiu He?" Jing Wen asked.

"It was my father, Duke Tan." Qiu Xinggong said.

Jing Wen continued, "Where is Duke Tan's life?"

Qiu He also continued: "I am eighty-three years old this year!"

Jing Wen was also very surprised. This guy was over 80 years old. You should know that the average life expectancy of ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty was only fifty or sixty years old. If you can be fifty years old, you are said to know the destiny of heaven. And sixty years old is considered very long, and it is simply a miracle that it is a miracle. Although it is not unusual for eighty years old in later generations, this was in ancient times. How many people in the country were eighty years old? I am afraid there will be no more than two hundred. Eighty years old can be said to be a particularly old birthday star, and in ancient times, people who also liked longevity.

In ancient times, longevity means good living conditions. Doesn’t it mean that the so-called prosperous era? If it is not a prosperous era, where can so many people have good living conditions come from? Therefore, ancient kings liked longevity very much. The more people lived, the greater their achievements. It was like the later Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. What kind of banquet for Thousand Old Manchus was a so-called face-saving project. It was really difficult for those old people in their seventies or eighties, and even over 100 years old. Those old people traveled from the local area to the central government, which was really a pity for them to bear it!

"Duke Tan really lives long!" Jing Wen said.

"Well, no! My health has been getting worse and worse in the past two years, and I don't know when I will go there. And the one I am most worried about is this son Qiu Xinggong. He is obviously a good material, but it is really sad to have such a result!" Qiu He said.

Qiu Xinggong is indeed a good general, and many people actually do not deny this. Temperament is a flaw, and if it is abusing the enemy during war, everyone can barely accept it, but no one can accept it when abused the soldiers on their side during peacetime. So not many people are willing to accept this boss. After all, who is so frustrated and willing to accept a cruel boss?

Therefore, Qiu Xinggong always wanted to continue fighting, and only by continuing to fight could he release his emotions. Moreover, there would not be too many people saying anything about abuse of the enemy, because only war could be enough to release his emotions. But now in peacetime, he obviously did not have the opportunity to release his emotions. But now he has an opportunity, that is, to form an Annan Protectorate, which means that there will naturally be war. Although it is just a small-scale war, it is also very helpful for him to release his anger.

"Gong'er, why don't you go and see your future colleagues!" Qiu He said.

Qiu He pointed to Wang Xuance, which means that Wang Xuance is Qiu Xinggong's future colleague. Therefore, Qiu He also wanted his son to establish a good relationship with his colleagues and not to have a quarrel. However, Qiu Xinggong looked like he ignored him and obviously did not take Wang Xuance seriously.

However, Qiu Xinggong also has his pride, that is, he is already over forty years old and even has to be a partner with a young colleague in his twenties. Isn’t this just a slap in the face? He can be as close to your status as you in his twenties, but he has been in trouble for decades but has not been able to make a comeback. Isn’t he a slap in the face?

"King'er, if you can have one-tenth of your ability, you might be the Duke of the State!" Qiu He also cursed.

However, Wang Xuance took the initiative to say: "Duke Tan, since I have met Mr. Ling, let's go have a few drinks to prepare for our future cooperation!"

Then, Wang Xuance came to Qiu Xinggong and took the initiative to say, "General Qiu, let's have a drink!" (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
