Whoever wins the crouching dragon wins the world

"In the beginning of human beings, their nature is good, their natures are similar, their habits are far apart..."

Kong Ming did what he said. As soon as the enlightenment textbooks from Lanshan Academy were sent to Beiman, he devoted his fatherly heart to the great cause of educating Zhuge Gu. As for the eldest son who was far away in Luoyang, he had completely given up treatment.

I began to vaguely understand Liu Xi's intention of driving our husband and wife far away to the frontier: If Kong Ming and Zhuge Zhan lived under the same roof, Kong Ming would probably not be able to resist strangling Zhuge Zhan to death on a dark and stormy night. Uneasy son.

No matter how Zhuge Zhan intends to realize his lofty ideals, at least in the eyes of outsiders, changing the surname in the world is equivalent to Zhuge's family stealing the country. Kong Ming, who has always cherished his feathers, is destined to be unable to tolerate his own son's tarnishing the Zhuge family's reputation.

In this case, it is better to hide away from a distance, out of sight and out of sight.If one day Zhuge Zhan ascended to the Great Treasure, Kong Ming could still comfort himself by saying, "It was the emperor who sent me to a remote barbaric land. I am beyond my reach, and there is no chance of turning the situation around."

This is actually a different kind of evasion, but because the person involved is the eldest son whose blood is thicker than water, even Kong Ming, who can destroy countless enemies while talking and laughing, has to die down.

I couldn't control it, and I couldn't be cruel enough to destroy him, so I could only hide behind the pretense that he was not allowed to enter Beijing unless he was ordered to, and let Zhuge Zhan fend for himself.

It seems that since a long time ago, Kong Ming has refused to accept letters signed by Zhuge Zhan. Although he has never made a judgment against Zhuge Zhan in front of others, the two father and son have been in a cold war for many years.Even if I feel sorry for it, I can only do nothing about it.

I know very well in my heart: this is already the best state between them.

Fortunately, Zhuge Gu was a completely different child from his elder brother.He grew up under the influence of Confucianism, and he knew humility and courtesy at a young age, and offered to share the candy sent by his uncle from the capital with his friends in Beiman.Since the Pingan Han is actually equivalent to invading the northern barbarians, the Xianbei people have very complicated perceptions of the Han people. On the one hand, they have to succumb to the power of the red cannons, and on the other hand, they are concerned about the occupation of their land and plundering them. Cattle and sheep instinctively repel outsiders.But Zhuge Gu seems to have won the friendship of the sons of the northern barbarians without much effort.

With only a handful of lollipops, he successfully knocked on the door of the young version of the northern barbarian power class.

I couldn't help being a little worried: "Should I find a martial arts master for Gu'er? The northern barbarians are martial arts, if there is a disagreement, Gu'er will have no power to fight back..." Because they mainly eat meat such as cattle and sheep, the northern barbarians In the bones of the barbarian man, there is a freshness and bravery that the Han people who live on rice do not have.I have personally seen two northern barbarian civilians fight over a leg of lamb, one of them chopped off the palm of the other with a saber.At that time, it was really, really hard for me to hold back the scream that was welling up in my throat.

I can't imagine how I would react if Zhuge Gu faced the same situation.

But Kong Ming just held my hand: "Don't worry, Gu'er will take care of it."

According to Kong Ming, the physique of the Han people is not as strong as that of the northern barbarians, and except for a small number of nobles, most of the northern barbarians have no concept of reading. They ride wildly on the grassland every day except for eating and sleeping, so their individual force is amazing.And Zhuge Gu spends at least half a day reading and learning characters every day. Even if he spares one or two hours to exercise his body, it is just a drop in the bucket.Even if he finds a martial arts master to teach him carefully, he may not be able to get a good deal from the northern barbarians.

Kong Ming believed that Zhuge Gu should use his strengths to avoid weaknesses and use his intelligence to deal with the northern barbarians.

I couldn't help but messed up in the wind: "Haven't you heard the saying that a scholar meets a soldier? Is it reasonable?" A scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken can't stand the violent crush of a strong man in the North, okay? ?

Kong Ming smiled meaningfully: "Just watch, Gu'er can't suffer."

Then I saw that Zhuge Gu and the strongest boy in the younger generation of the Northern Man formed a good friend who wished he could wear a pair of pants. If anyone dared to say no to Zhuge Gu, the recognized number one warrior in the future would say nothing. If you don't say anything, you rush up and beat him fatly, and you can't be more obedient.

Within a year, "Zhuge Gu and his friends" became an undefeated legend in the children's group on the grassland.

I was really worried for nothing.Although Zhuge Gu appeared gentle and harmless, since Kong Ming's blood flowed, how could he be a lamb at the mercy of others.It's just that unlike Zhuge Zhan's flaws that must be reported, he has a more easy-going personality. Even if he is offended, as long as the other party is willing to apologize, he will be absolutely tolerant.

Therefore, there are many more friends who are willing to make deep friends with Zhuge Gu than Zhuge Zhan.Although I have never discussed his circle of friends with Zhuge Zhan, but I think with his current city, it should be seen that Sima Zhao and others approached him with family interests in mind.It was a lonely path for him to follow, capable of great good to his friends, and needing their help at the same time.Even if they can achieve mutual benefit most of the time, when the consideration of interests is mixed in the friendship, how much sincerity is left in it cannot be easily estimated.

But Zhuge Gu treats his friends more casually.

When Zhuge Zhan was a child, he got a piece of rare precious jade from Sima Zhao. He stalked me to get a famous painting of comparable value from my private treasury and returned it.But Zhuge Gu honestly accepted the sword from the future warrior, but never thought that he had to prepare an equally expensive gift in return.

I specially prepared the pony boots for him and waited for him to ask for them, but he didn’t move for a long time, so I had no choice but to run to him and ask him: “Other children gave us Gu’er a gift, do we, Gu’er, want to give one?” Give him a gift in return?"

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Gu was puzzled and said: "It's not a gift exchange, why do you want to return the gift?" In his heart, I am afraid that he has completely regarded those friends as his real people.

I don't know whether to be happy or worried.

"Gu'er is like this, if you meet a friend who values ​​etiquette, wouldn't it be easy to offend him?" Giving gifts to close relatives would seem unusual, for example, Liu Xi rarely gave me boxing gifts these years, but I would never alienate him because of this.But Chinese people value courtesy, and the friendship between friends is different from the natural connection between blood.

Kong Ming laughed: "Because Zhan'er was incompetent, you still advised my children and grandchildren to have their own children and grandchildren, how come Gu'er is born here, and I can't figure it out?"

I froze for two seconds.It seems to be like this: "Zhan'er is already old, but Gu'er is still so young..."

"Okay." Kong Ming interrupted me with a smile, took my hand and said, "Haven't you noticed that since becoming a mother, the conversation between us has revolved around children? You haven't cared about it for a long time. Live my daily life. Even though you didn’t mention it when I was on a business trip outside the house, everyone could see that you were uncomfortable, but now even if I don’t come home all night, you won’t say a word of criticism.”

"Didn't I trust you?" Maybe Kong Ming's self-discipline over the years gave me a great sense of security. I have indeed shifted my focus to my children. I really feel "negligent in discipline" for Kong Ming.I was suddenly questioned by him, and my face blushed involuntarily: "Do you want me to be like a tigress, chasing after your ass and controlling you every day?" He obviously liked half-truths and half-false complaints that I hurt him. The husband is depressed.

"Madam's face is so hot?" My uncomfortable expression obviously pleased Kong Ming. This big-bellied black man who is used to teasing people in private spread his big hands, and frankly teased me, "Kong Ming is willing to control Madam."

This man!It's not too nasty to smile so coquettishly at an old age.

I glared at him angrily, and said deliberately: "You are too lazy to care about you! Now that you are old and decrepit, you have long since lost the capital to attract bees and butterflies. The big girl and the little daughter-in-law don't bother to waste their eyes on you. I’m the only one who reluctantly took you in.” It’s true, the people of the Three Kingdoms have a short lifespan, and a man of Kong Ming’s age can already call himself an “old man”, and in the eyes of most aborigines, the best time has passed.Moreover, there is a huge difference in aesthetics between Xianbei people and Han people. A humble gentleman who has no power to restrain a chicken is highly respected in Luoyang, but he is a weak and effeminate little boy in Beiman. Even if Kong Ming is 20 years younger, he may not be able to join the Xianbei indigenous people. Dharma eye.

"What Madam said is very true." Kong Ming laughed, "I still need to thank Madam for not giving up, Kong Ming is very grateful!" Today he wore a wide-sleeved robe that people in the Han Dynasty often wore, and his right hand groped for a moment at the wide cuff , Suddenly took out a book from the bag and folded it.

"What is this? Memorial?" I reached out to take it, and couldn't help slandering him when I thought it was a book, but I was surprised when I opened it, because the book was covered with the seal of the Han Dynasty, and it was a letter from a foreign visit. Customs clearance documents of various countries.

"The world is so big, I want to see it." Meeting my puzzled gaze, Kong Ming gave an answer that was obviously plagiarized from Liu Xi, "This is the official document sent to me by the emperor yesterday. Fifty dark guards with high martial arts skills also came here to protect us when we travel around the world."

This... means that the court is finally going to take action?Because he was worried that it would affect me and Kong Ming, so he drove us far away?

"What do you think?" Because of Liu Xi's and Zhuge Zhan's plan, our husband and wife have already avoided living in Beiman, so there is no reason to retreat again and again.The muddy water in Luoyang may not be able to flow to the northern barbarians. The so-called authorities are obsessed, and Liu Xi sometimes overprotects me.

But Kong Ming really wanted to go out for a walk: "The emperor said that the vision determines the mind. He suggested that I go and take a look at different customs. Maybe the perspective will change after I come back."

Therefore, Liu Xi thinks that Kong Ming's inability to accept Zhan'er's "usurpation" is a sign of narrow-mindedness?Rather than saying that he was worried that we would be accidentally injured by the evil wind blowing from Luoyang, it would be better to say that he was afraid that the Confucianism deep in Kong Ming's heart would cause trouble, and that he would do something irreversible when Zhuge Zhan came to power.

Why do I feel a little happy?

It involved the three men closest to me, and I deeply felt that it would be better for me not to get involved in the love-hate entanglement between them. Therefore, since Kong Ming decided to go far away, I naturally followed suit.

In fact, there is no secret joy in my heart.Since it is a tour, I might as well take him to England, which is my second hometown after all.Although Zhuge Zhan is hopeless, at least Zhuge Gu can meet an authentic British gentleman and taste an authentic English breakfast.

This can be regarded as another sense of honor to return home.

Kong Ming intends to temporarily hand over the northern barbarian affairs to Feng Cha before he leaves, but he is naturally a caring person, and Feng Cha has never presided over the work independently. moon.

Anyway, in the end we finally took shape.

England in the second century, here I come.
