"We are all scholars who wear swords and study. If scholars don't discuss current affairs, why should we weave cloth?" Chen Deng was even more helpless. "Criticizing people and discussing current situations are rare pleasures in life!"

"There is no shame in weaving!" Xu Shu responded with a serious face. "And there is such a thing as criticizing people... General Wei, Cao Fenwu, and Liu Yuzhou, who are now the cornerstones of the world, don't like these three! You are from the Chen family in Xiapi

, if you continue to behave like this in the future, be careful of being kicked out as a pavilion chief... Xuzhou is destined to change in the future!"

Chen Deng was helpless for a moment: "I'm not talking empty talk, nor am I looking down on farming and weaving... I am the Dian Nong Xiaowei, in charge of Xuzhou's farming affairs, and I also personally inspect the water and soil and arrange farming. Isn't this a troubled summer? So?

Come and ask Yuan Zhi about the current situation in Xuzhou."

Xu Shu smiled and said nothing.

Chen Deng had no choice but to sigh for a moment, but then started to make insinuations again: "Then I dare to ask Yuan Zhi, what do you think of the joy of life?"

"The joy of life lies in not having to see my mother trapped in widowhood and having no money to support the family when I was crowned; in that I did not go astray after my hair was tied, hanging out in the market, and fighting bravely with a sword; in that I always think about the past after being crowned

, I have no empty regrets for my previous inaction; after I have finally achieved something, I will look up to the world and not hesitate about my future..." Xu Yuanzhi sat upright, smiling but not smiling.

Chen Deng was stunned for a moment.

"Brother Yuanlong, you said that I have the heroic spirit of the lake and the sea, and I also think that you have the heroic spirit of the lake and the sea, but are the auras of the lake and the sea between you and me the same thing?" It is clearly morning, but the sky above our heads is gradually turning silver.

It was as if the rainy season had returned, but Xu Shu ignored it. "You are the leader of the first generation in Xuzhou. There are four people in your old house in Xiapi who have made two thousand stones, and you have been gifted since you were a child."

People have a strong family background. It is said that they are natural, and they can look down on the world. So you act unscrupulously, talk to others with pride, and point out the country as if it is nothing. But I am a son of a single family in Yingchuan, and I have no clan since I was born.

Later, I lost my father very early. If my widowed mother was not a rare educated woman, I would not even have a chance to become enlightened. Therefore, the so-called Huhai Qi in me comes from fighting in the poor streets when I was a child, and from living without a tied hair.

Being a thief in the city under the supervision of others comes from the sudden awakening after being crowned and studying diligently. It comes from the fact that only now at the age of twenty-six, he can ride a sword and ride a horse across the world...Brother Yuanlong, your arrogance is just insignificant if you look closely.

words; but my pride, after careful calculation, is that I have nothing to lose... It seems ordinary, but in fact it is completely the opposite!"

In other words, Xu Shu spoke simply and talked eloquently. However, from beginning to end, he just sat upright on the banquet in the courtyard. Although he had a smile on his face, he neither looked at the dark clouds above his head nor at the side of him.

Deng, as if talking to the air.

But don’t tell me yet, Chen Yuanlong just does this!

The No. 1 Young Master of Xuzhou was stunned for a long time, but then stood up again. Regardless of the disparity in status, he lowered his head and bowed respectfully to the person beside him: "Yuan Yuanzhi has come here because he has nothing to lose, and he is far better than Yuanlong, no matter how far he comes!"

"As for this, brother Yuanlong still doesn't want to give up?" It was Xu Shu's turn to shake his head helplessly.

"This is the joy of life. If I give up meeting heroes and discussing current affairs because of these and other things, it would be better for me to die!"

"Forget it, you said you wanted to discuss the situation in Xuzhou with me?"

"good!"

"What's there to discuss?" Xu Shu said indifferently. "Now that things have happened, even if you locals in Xuzhou are unwilling to accept it, can you really continue to be independent? It's nothing more than General Wei, Cao Fenwu, and Liu Yuzhou.

Just one of them!"

"But who should we choose?" The raindrops started to fall. Chen Deng protected the teapot and quickly sat back on the bench in the courtyard. "All three are heroes, and the administration is actually quite similar..."

"Tao Gong has been ill for a long time, and his two sons have not served as officials for many years. It seems that he was touched by what happened to Sun Polu and wanted to exchange Xuzhou for family peace. And because he was a hero and short-tempered, Xuzhou has long been destroyed by you and the others.

All the forces are divided..." Xu Shu couldn't help but sneered. "Among them, your Chen family is the top of the family, famous and promising, with a county and an important position in the field; the Mi family has the power of wealth, fishing and salt, and also has a Pengcheng.

The country is in hand; the Cao family seems to be the weakest, but Cao Hong, Cao's uncle and nephew, is so trusted by Tao Xuzhou in the secretariat that he actually controls the outside of Xiapi City. Cao Bao holds half of the military power outside the city, and it is impossible to be small.

Then, among the people from Danyang brought by Tao Gong, one was Zuo Rong, who was in charge of the political affairs of Xia Pi and was also responsible for the Buddhist affairs in the state; one was Xu Dan, who was the general of Danyang army and shared the direct military power of Xuzhou with Cao; plus one was from Guangling.

Zhao Yu has always been quiet, a Langya Zangba, and has always stayed out of things. Aren't they the same people who have been counted over and over again? But I don't believe it. It's been several years, and you haven't thought about today's situation?"

"..." Chen Deng laughed dryly, but responded awkwardly. "The Cao family is related by marriage to the Cao family of Pei State, and the Mi family is the wife of Liu Yuzhou. The only ones to worry about are General Zang Ba and Tao Gong, who have the most powerful soldiers.

Those two Danyang natives... Yuan Zhi didn't know. Logically speaking, Zuo Rong and Xu Dan were both from Danyang, and Danyang was now both under the rule of Liu Yuzhou. They should have taken advantage of the situation and attached themselves to Liu Yuzhou, but in fact these two

Personally, he is really incompetent. Zuo Rong is a sycophant and greedy. He often tells people that Liu Yuzhou's new policies in foreign lands are excessive; Xu Dan is innocent and lustful. He once begged Mrs. Gan back then, but he is probably afraid of Liu Yuzhou."

"So, who did you choose in your family?" Xu Shu didn't bother to pay attention to these things that he had seen through in General Anton's Mansion, but asked coldly.

"General Wei!" Chen Deng answered honestly.

"General Wei?"

"Yuan Zhi doesn't know." The rain had started to drip a little. Chen Deng brushed off the raindrops on the lid of the ceramic teapot and replied sincerely. "My great-uncle once worked with the old Sili Xiao Wei Yangqiu, who was the governor of Taichung at that time.

General Wei and others who were engaged in the crime jointly tried to punish the eunuch, but they were defeated and killed. Emperor Ling even wanted to pursue my entire family. At that time, General Wei had obviously escaped from the city, but after hearing the news, he turned around and rescued everyone, including my father.

He went to the Chancellery alone to fight against Cao Jie, the powerful eunuch, and forced him to pardon the crimes implicated in our clan... In other words, General Wei has a great kindness to our Chen family. In fact, Yuan Shu was in the south at that time.

During the Ji period, Liu Yuzhou went south to Huainan. Our Chen family got a letter from General Wei. On the one hand, we persuaded Tao Gong to continue to help General Wei, and on the other hand, we simply asked the clan brother who was the governor of Yangzhou to abandon Huainan and become the governor of Wujun.

...And now, the envoys sent by General Wei, Wang Lang, Wang Jingxing, Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao, as well as the Emperor's Scepter, are all in my home."

Hearing the last two names, Xu Shu's heart moved slightly, but his expression remained unchanged. He just turned his head and looked at the other person and suddenly laughed: "Has anyone from the Zuxia clan contacted Zang Xuangao?"

"No……"

"It's not the kind of talk about making an appointment with a seller, but the kind of daily interaction..."

"nor!"

"Then a disaster is about to happen to the Zuxia clan?" The rain gradually fell, but Xu Shu still sat upright.

"What do you mean?" Chen Deng couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.

"In front of my subordinates, I won't say anything too harsh... I just want to say that if the Zuxia clan has received such a great favor from General Wei, then they should either abide by their moral integrity and refuse to accept General Wei in the name of Tao Xuzhou.

Envoy, you should either die and run heartily to repay the kindness of General Wei. With such two-pronged behavior, do you really think that General Wei can't see it from a high position? Or do you think that Guo Fengxiao is an incompetent person who can't see through your thoughts?"

Chen Deng was about to speak but stopped.

"I understand..." Xu Shu looked at the other party and suddenly smiled again. "You are not stupid, nor are you self-righteous, but you are blind to the truth. You think that Wang Jingxing is the most talented person in Xuzhou, and the late Lieutenant Yang Gong loves his disciple. He comes from a wealthy family in Xuzhou. You think he

He is the right envoy, so he can naturally cover you up, but he has ignored the person next to him who spends all day drinking and dissipating, right?"

Chen Deng didn't know how to reply.

"Do you recognize this sword?" In the pattering rain, Xu Shu suddenly pulled out the long sword that he had kept at hand. "This sword was given by General Wei himself. Guo Fengxiao also had one, and his talent outsmarted him.

I am ten times better! I am able to tie my hair and become a thief, but I am weak and can study hard, but I am inspired by him for 45% of the time! With him here, I am afraid that your behavior will not escape the eyes and ears of General Wei!"

Chen Yuanlong was so stunned that the teapot in his hand fell to the table and he didn't realize it for a while.

After a long time, when Xu Shu sheathed his sword, he threw the teapot outside the table, stood up and said goodbye.

However, after walking a few steps in the rain, Chen Deng, who was already extremely embarrassed, couldn't help but turn around and bowed his hands again: "I know what Yuan Zhi thinks of me, and I also know why Yuan Zhi has always been estranged from me...

It has been six years since General Wei returned to the palace in front of the Weiyang Palace to blame the weak king, the noble family, and the powerful. The so-called people's hearts are gradually changing. In the past few years, it was difficult for General Wei to say, at least in the Central Plains, but now

As General Wei took control of Hebei and Cao and Liu followed the New Deal, more and more talented people like Shi Shi gradually changed their views and began to look down upon the ways of the aristocratic families like us. They felt that we could only bring disaster to the world.

He is responsible for his crimes, but he has no determination and actions to save the world!"

Xu Shu's face was expressionless, as if asking: "Isn't that so?"

"But Yuan Zhi, this time it's really not that our Chen clan is at both ends of the spectrum and doesn't know how to make decisions. In fact, the reason why our clan is so embarrassed is because we have an insurmountable knot when facing General Shangwei..." Chen Yuanlong

He didn't seem to notice the sarcasm on the other party's expression, but continued to make a sincere speech. "In terms of personal favors and the interests of the clan's continuation, it seems natural to surrender to General Wei, but we, the Pi Chen family, have Ling Emperor.

The grievance of almost exterminating the clan in anger is due to the kindness of General Wei throughout his life. But before that, our Chen family has been favored by the Han for several generations. From one man to two thousand dan from generation to generation, and then to the clan, which has been prominent for hundreds of years, this

What kind of kindness is it? Then I dare to ask, what will we do under General Wei when the Han Dynasty overthrows in the future? Which is more important, the kindness of one life or the kindness of several generations? I am so verbose today, not to defend anything, but

I don’t want Yuan Zhi to laugh and get the wrong meaning… Take my leave.”

After saying this, the man bowed, backed away, turned around and walked away.

But this time, it was Xu Shu's turn to say something in the rain: "If you claim to be righteous, then you are not the same as the first and the second. Mortals talk about their deeds but not their hearts. Who cares what you think in your heart? At the very least, you must take action to let others know."

Does everyone in the world know your innocence?"

"What do you mean by Yuan Zhi?" Chen Deng turned around immediately.

"Without him, I am actually in a dilemma like the Yuanzhi clan, and I am quite suspected of being a rat and a rat, but I am just entangled in my own heart." Xu Shu stood up and faced each other sincerely. "Since we have the same disease, why not work together to treat it? Now?

I have a method that can make everyone in my clan prove their innocence, and it can also make me feel clear of guilt..."

"Where?"

"It's easy and simple to come from the good direction." Xu Shu stood up and put away the mat on the ground, and answered slowly. "It's just those things since ancient times. Since it's raining, why don't Brother Yuanlong come in and have a chat?"

I am the dividing line after the rain

"At the end of the Han Dynasty, Chen Yuanlong in Xiapi was known as bold and generous. One day, a visitor came, and his father's friend was also visiting. He didn't understand, so he asked his father Chen Hanyu privately. Hanyu sighed and said to him: 'What?

Talking about Shen Jing? The boy is so arrogant that no matter how old or young he is, no matter how high or low he is, anyone who disdains him will disdain him. People don’t know why he is called Shen Jing. Anyone who catches the eye of a hero will treat him like a servant. The guest suddenly said: "What a pity! Just now."
