"I have always believed that human nature is inherently evil. A child would take it for granted that he would trample an insect to death because he feels he is powerful and would trample it to death."
Yang Xuan stood under the sunset. The old thief followed Yelvshu to investigate the city. He was waiting.
Han Ji said: "But Fang Wai may be a compassionate person, but he will be compassionate."
"Why do people go to Fangwai?"
Yang Xuan asked.
"The troubles of the mortal world cannot be eliminated." Han Ji said.
"Why mercy?"
"Maybe it's a rule..." Han Ji covered his forehead, "I lost."
Yang Xuan looked at the setting sun with his hands behind his hands, "People go through calamities in the world of mortals. Anxiety, depression, and all kinds of troubles make people miserable, so they want to seek liberation. Compassion and love for all things are one of the ways to achieve liberation."
Jiang He'er listened in rapt attention, "Lang Jun, then no one is perfect?"
"Perfect people have."
"who?"
"A doll that can't speak and has no desires."
Jiang Heer sighed, "Then how can we avoid becoming that person?"
"Give yourself a goal, a positive goal."
"What is Lang Jun's goal?" Jiang He'er's face turned reddish in the sunset, and the fine hair on his face was clearly visible. A pair of big eyes flickered, looking at Yang Xuan curiously.
“Feed a family!”
"Hey!" Jiang He'er muttered, "I thought Mr. Lang would say some heroic words, but hey!"
"That's right." Han Ji smiled, with an unpredictable expression on his face.
"What do you mean, Mr. Han?" Jiang He'er asked.
"There are big and small families." Han Ji said softly, "The world is not just one family!"
Lin Feibao heard this and said to Zhang Xu: "Han Ji, you can take another step to win over!"
"It depends on what Mr. Lang wants!"
"Let's lay it out, and Lang Jun will take the last step."
Zhang Xu scratched his head, "It's like a wedding night!"
Lin Feibao's head is covered with black lines.
He went to find Yang Xuan, "Lang Jun now controls Northern Xinjiang, when will he reveal his identity?"
"I also think that Yang Lue probably didn't want to be so early." Yang Xuan made a joke, and then said: "Now that the identity is revealed, without mentioning the civil and military forces of Northern Xinjiang, what will the soldiers and civilians of Northern Xinjiang think? They will wonder if this is a liar.
.What will the world think? This man must be a liar..."
"So……"
“Build momentum step by step!”
Yang Xuan also wants to restore his identity, but the world is too complicated.
"If you honor the emperor's son, what will happen to those forces? How many people will regard us as mortal enemies..."
Back then, being filial to the emperor offended many people.
"When will we build momentum?" Lin Feibao asked.
"We'll start when we get back." Yang Xuan had a headache, "I'm thinking whether to tell Bao Dong now or wait until later."
Before that, he and Beijiang had to spend the winter first.
A winter without the support of Chang'an.
The old thief is back.
"Most of the money in the treasury is copper coins and silk."
He Lianyan said: "These things are too troublesome. Once they are chased, they will not be able to leave."
You can cover up the grain depot with a fire, but what about the money depot?
Even if there is a fire, those copper coins will be burned into a big pile, they will not be burned away!
Yang Xuan chuckled, "Change!"
The old thief praised, "It's exactly what Lang Jun said. The Yelvshu said that he is willing to exchange gold and silver for these copper coins and cloth."
"This dog... is good!"
Yang Xuan was in a good mood and asked someone to cook barbecue.
The next day, he sneaked into the city with his men.
When Yelvshu saw him, he shook his head slightly.
Compared with this deputy envoy, Sang Yuanxing's courage was more than a little bit worse.
"The money bank is in the southwest of the city...the clerk guarding the money bank can't be bribed."
"No need to buy it off."
No need to buy out?
Yelvshu didn't know what he was going to do.
Arriving at the outskirts of the money bank, Yang Xuan looked at the old thief, "Where should we start?"
The old thief inspected it carefully and came back and said: "The west side of the money bank is good, but there is a toilet that cannot be passed. So, it is better to go north, where villains have stepped on it."
What does this mean?
Yelvshu is confused.
"Deputy envoy, this is..."
Yang Xuan said reservedly: "Have you ever heard of the great robbery?"
In my ear, Suzaku said: "Xiao Xuanzi, you are going to be a big thief!"
Then, everyone entered a house in the north and tied up the owner and his family.
"Start!" Yang Xuan nodded.
"Xiao Pan!" The old thief's face glowed red.
"Master."
"Do it!"
None of this was disclosed to the Book of Jerusalem.
What he has to do is cover.
"Prepare the cart."
Yang Xuan's people conveyed the order.
Large cars passed by, and boxes of money or silks and cloths were quickly placed on the cars.
On the third day, Yang Xuan and others withdrew.
Carrying the gold and silver given by Yelvshu, I walked away particularly free and easy.
Yelvshu was curious about how they did it, so he disguised himself and took a look at the treasury.
It's still early before the next distribution of money and food, so the door to the money bank is closed.
If you want to talk about daily inspections, it was when Daliao was just founded and officials were so diligent.
The world has been at peace for a long time, and Kunzhou is considered a peaceful place. The officials and minor officials in charge of the treasury have long been tired. What kind of inspection... I checked, no problem!
It's like the story of the boy who cried wolf. Every year he says he should take good care of the bank, but every year nothing happens to the bank.
Who has the patience to check it all the time?
If you have the time, wouldn't it be nice to take a nap?
Even if you don’t want to take a nap, wouldn’t you like to check out the new ones from Benningxing?
See how a talented man seduces a beautiful woman.
It would be better if there was a car inside.
The money bank is still there, that family was taken away by Yang Xuan, and they will probably become part of the road construction army in Northern Xinjiang.
Yelvshu entered the house and looked around.
When he entered the bedroom, he smelled the smell of mud. He looked down and saw that it was very clean. It was so clean that it was hard to believe that this was an ordinary home.
He lay on the ground and looked under the bed.
The so-called bed is just a few benches and a row of wooden boards.
He lay on the ground, his body suddenly stiffened, and then he started laughing.
"Ho ho ho!"
He burst into tears while laughing.
"Ho ho ho!"
He gasped and looked at the dark hole, "It's really amazing!"
…
Yang Xuan returns.
When the food was brought all the way back, Liu Qing was overjoyed and led people to check it.
"This is……"
A clerk squatted and read the words on the sack, "Sima."
Liu Qing lowered his head and said, "Kunzhou."
"This is official food!"
The deputy envoy bought all the official rations from Kunzhou!
A group of officials were stunned.
"The deputy envoy is back."
The deputy envoy is back.
They also brought a lot of gold and silver.
After careful inspection, I found that the cost was almost the same as selling grain.
In other words, the deputy envoy was left empty-handed.
"Where did it come from?" Lao Liu trembled and almost asked him if he had sold his body to get the food.
"I was passing by and saw that no one was guarding the Kunzhou Treasury, so I went in to get some." Yang Xuan smiled.
"Boom!"
Liu Qing slapped the case hard, and everyone couldn't help but feel shocked.
"You're taking a risk!"
Liu Qing was angry, "If that person thinks that the benefits of capturing you are greater than the money he earns, you will become a prisoner of Beiliao!"
Yang Xuan smiled and said, "I will send people to follow him, but..."
Lao Liu's face turned red with anger, and Yang Xuan quickly comforted him, "I'm not back without a problem."
"Is it worth risking the money?"
"It's worth it!" Yang Xuan said lightly, and then stood up, "I have to go home and see the children, let's go!"
Everyone looked at his back, then looked at Liu Qing, thinking that Sima scolded the deputy envoy and the deputy envoy ran away in despair. Who is the bigger one?
Then everyone dispersed, leaving Han Ji behind.
"Mr. Lang, it's not easy." Han Ji sat down and made himself a cup of tea without hesitation.
Autumn was dry, and Liu Qing easily got angry due to many things, so he prepared a large pot of tea to keep cold and drink at any time.
He himself took a sip of cold tea and sighed: "It's not easy for me to know him. To be honest, who is willing to take risks? I don't want to, and he doesn't want to either. But Northern Xinjiang is poor! I racked my brains for this and saved money everywhere.
Money, for this... look at it."
Liu Qing pointed to his temples, "In just a few months, my hair has turned a lot grayer. He is feeling sorry for me! I know it."
Han Ji smiled and said: "It is also a good story that Mr. Liu and Mr. Lang know each other."
Liu Qing was silent for a long time, stroking the teapot, feeling the coldness, "I have the intention of becoming an official."
Han Ji's heart tightened, "Lang Jun often said that anyone can be missing in Northern Xinjiang, except Sima."
Liu Qing shook his head, "That's false! I'm not showing a temper, but... I'm annoyed that he won't tell me the truth!"
Han Ji smiled bitterly, "What you said..."
"Can't pick him up?" Liu Qing pointed at him, "He was just a young man when he came to Northern Xinjiang, and I watched him grow up.
Even though I know everything about what he is thinking, I can still guess a little bit.
That’s all, I’m asking for trouble if you say it.”
Han Ji laughed dryly, "No. In fact... I am also quite curious!"
Liu Qing is so old-fashioned. Even if he has doubts, he will not tell Han Ji. The only possibility is...
He wants to test me!
Han Ji pretended to glance at Liu Qing casually, and Liu Qing looked calm.
Sure enough, he is an old fox.
"The current situation in Northern Xinjiang seems to be calm, but you and I both know that there are undercurrents surging underneath.
Chang'an will use various means to suppress Northern Xinjiang, including civil and military attacks. This is suppression from the outside world.
Within Northern Xinjiang, powerful people will be ready to act and become Chang'an's internal agents.
With Bei Liao on the side, if he finds a flaw, He Lianchun will not hesitate to raise his army and go south.
As long as he defeats Northern Xinjiang, he can establish supreme prestige in Northern Liao...
There are internal worries and external dangers, what do you think the future will be like?"
Liu Qing asked while looking at the document in his hand.
Han Ji firmly believed that every move he made was within his sight.
Tian Xiao and others left, and the situation in Northern Xinjiang was at least temporarily stable on the surface.
But it's only temporary.
To be honest, it is difficult for Han Ji to guess what the future will be like.
Liu Qing asked about attitude!
Han Ji did not answer immediately, but thought about it for a while.
"The emperor is very good at weighing things up. I have a vague feeling that Mr. Lang is quite disdainful of the emperor. Maybe it's an illusion..."
"It's not an illusion!" Liu Qing said firmly: "Continue!"
The man in front of him said that he had watched Yang Xuan grow up, and no one dared to question it.
Without this man, Yang Xuan's career would not have been so smooth.
This is the gift of knowing someone.
Yang Xuan's reward was to become the hands-off shopkeeper and leave all the matters in Jiedushi's house to him.
This trust!
It's moving.
Of course, Lao Liu yelled and cursed at Yang Xuan from time to time, but was ignored by everyone.
Han Ji smiled and said: "If the emperor is like this, he will definitely not stop the suppression. Cutting off money, food and weapons is only the first step. In the follow-up, I think the emperor will suppress Northern Xinjiang from all aspects and make the soldiers and civilians of Northern Xinjiang breathless. Force Northern Xinjiang
Internal chaos..."
"That's not what I'm asking you." Liu Qing squinted, "Let's get to the point!"
Ahem!
Han Ji said: "The emperor is as old as the setting sun, and the husband is as old as the rising sun."
Liu Qing nodded, "Continue."
This must continue?
Han Ji looked at him and said, "If you continue... you will violate a taboo."
"I've already taken charge of the house for him, so why should I be afraid of taboos?" Liu Qing said calmly, but in other people's ears, it sounded particularly arrogant.
Han Ji smiled bitterly, "Yes! In the follow-up, I am optimistic that Lang Jun can withstand Chang'an's suppression. Once Chang'an's suppression is withstood, the soldiers and civilians of Northern Xinjiang will definitely unite as one.
At that time, unless King Wei succeeds to the throne, I am worried that... Lang Jun will be coerced by the soldiers and people of Northern Xinjiang and leave the Tang Dynasty.
It may belong to the Tang Dynasty in name, but in reality it has become a country within a country!"
Liu Qing said noncommittally: "Continue."
Still going on...
Han Ji squinted at him, knowing that the old man had made some decisions.
"At that time, Lang Junhui will have no choice but to become a stranger to Chang'an. Either he can establish his own country, or..."
"Either what?"
"Once the country is not established and the prince grows old, the young prince will not be able to suppress the arrogant and powerful generals. In addition, he lacks the reputation of righteousness. Once the prince is gone, the young prince is in danger of becoming a puppet."
He expressed his long-standing concerns.
He hoped that Yang Xuan would rebel and stand on his own in northern Xinjiang, but he also knew that the Tang Dynasty was in Zuo, and in the eyes of the people of the world, it was Zhengshuo.
Yang Xuan gradually accumulated prestige. He could suppress Bei Xin when he was there, but after he left, A Liang would never be able to suppress him!
The Yang family's hegemony died in a lifetime, what does this mean?
Bringing trouble to your children and grandchildren!
"It's not bad that you can see these." Liu Qing squinted, "Zitai said that he will live up to the Tang Dynasty in this life, so don't try to trick him into rebelling!"
Well!
Han Ji didn't expect Liu Qing to know about this, which meant that he had underestimated the old man.
He said sincerely: "The current situation of Langjun is very dangerous. Forgive me for speaking frankly, Langjun is now riding a tiger and it is difficult to get off.
Again, unless King Wei succeeds to the throne, it is impossible for Lang Jun to reconcile with Chang'an in this life."
"Be careful what you say and do from now on." Liu Qing's eyes were deep, "Go!"
Han Ji resigned.
When he walked out of the lobby, he looked back.
It was afternoon and the sun was setting.
The light of dusk made the old man's gray hair turn yellow.
Those eyes were staring blankly at the documents on the desk.
This is, tired.
Tired!
Han Ji sighed in his heart. When he heard footsteps, he turned around, but it was Yang Xuan. He whispered: "I'm afraid Mr. Liu knows something."
Yang Xuan waved his hand gently, "Go!"
Han Ji walked out step by step and saw Yang Xuan walking in step by step.
His steps were very light, as if he was worried about disturbing Liu Qing.
Han Ji felt itchy and wished he could go in and listen to the conversation between the two.
Think about it, the harvest will be huge.
"Mr. Liu."
"Um?"
"There are many things to worry about."
Liu Qing looked up.
"Are you willing to tell me?"
"What do you want to know?"
Yang Xuan sat down, across the desk from him, and poured himself a cup of cold tea.
