In the vegetable field, Tuoba Lie saw that Lin Ye had indeed arrived. After smiling slightly, he waved to Lin Ye.
Lin Ye saw that the vegetable field had just been watered, so he simply took off his boots and socks, rolled up his pants and walked in.
"Have you ever grown vegetables?"
Tuoba Lie asked.
Lin Ye said: "When I was in Nanshan Village, I planted a small garden, which was not as big as the general's vegetable field."
Tuoba Lie pointed to the piece of vegetables next to him: "Then, I'll leave that piece to you."
Lin Ye walked through the muddy water and rummaged through the vegetable leaves one by one.
At this time of year, the vegetables you plant will be harvested soon. Looking at the lush greenery makes you feel happy.
But when you open the vegetable leaves and see bugs, most girls will be scared and scream.
"When you were in Nanshan Village, did you sell the vegetables you grew, or did you eat them yourself?"
Tuoba Lie asked while rummaging around.
Lin Ye replied: "I eat most of them myself. If I can't finish them, I will give them to the neighbors."
Tuoba Lie said this because he couldn't finish the food, so he hesitated slightly.
He asked: "Mrs. Liu has the name of Bodhisattva. I thought most of the vegetables she planted would be given away to others."
Lin Ye: "The Bodhisattva also has to live. I can't bear to give away food and clothing. I can't do it. My mother-in-law can do it, but she won't do that. The Bodhisattva lives better, and the Bodhisattva can live longer."
Tuoba Lie laughed.
Lin Ye said: "There used to be a wealthy family in Nanshan Village with a very good family background. In the past few years, there were two consecutive years of drought. The wealthy family took out their stored grain and took care of the villagers for two years. In the third year, the economy improved.
He didn't give it away anymore, but he got scolded a lot."
Tuoba Lie turned back and looked at Lin Ye: "Has Mrs. Liu ever been scolded?"
Lin Ye: "When my mother-in-law was not very famous, she was scolded by hundreds of people from the wealthy family. Later, everyone in the county knew that she was a Bodhisattva, and no one dared to scold her."
He looked at the general: "People follow blindly, whether they do good things or bad things."
Tuoba Lie suddenly asked: "Then do you think more of the people in Dayu now blindly follow good, or more blindly follow evil?"
This was a difficult question to answer, and Lin Ye began to regret saying the word "blind obedience".
If this question is asked on such an occasion, it can be just a casual conversation. If it is asked in the court, it may make you lose your head.
The most important words in this question are not more good or more evil.
But the people of Dayu follow blindly.
When it comes to what the people of Dayu blindly follow, the root of this blind obedience can only be Emperor Jade.
Lin Ye replied: "The humble person is less than sixteen years old."
This sentence made Tuoba Lie couldn't help but laugh.
Yes, Lin Ye is less than sixteen years old. He is really short-sighted and inexperienced.
Tuoba Lie laughed for a while and then said: "You were supposed to go to Shangwuyuan today, why did you come to me?"
Lin Ye: "Beizi didn't think about the reason. He just felt that he should come to thank the general."
Tuoba Lie: "Thank you for what?"
Lin Ye: "Thank you, General, for recognizing Qi Barracks. The soldiers are very grateful to the General."
Tuoba Lie laughed loudly and said: "Tuoba Yunxi chatted with you for half the time, and then he just came up with a thank you to the general?"
Lin Ye couldn't say anything.
"Don't think so much."
Tuoba Lie said: "I remember I told you that if young people think too much and spend all their time on camp, they will waste their good time."
Lin Ye said: "Remember this humble position."
Tuoba Lie wiped his hands: "Okay, I haven't had breakfast yet, have you eaten yet?"
Lin Ye: "Not yet."
Tuoba Lie said: "Then come and eat with me. After eating, go to Shangwuyuan quickly. Don't really get scolded by people saying that you become levitating because of some merits."
Lin Ye: "Yes, I will go back after eating."
Tuoba Lie: "I thought after I said this, you would say that I won't eat." Lin Ye: "I still have to eat, after all, I am really hungry."
Breakfast is simple and light, but this simple and light thing is really to Lin Ye's liking.
Tuoba Lie asked while eating: "Just now in the vegetable field, I told you not to waste your time on camping, but you didn't deny it."
Lin Ye: "I dare not deny it."
Tuoba Lie: "Then do you think it is important for people who enter officialdom to work hard?"
Lin Ye: "Two are important, and one is unknown."
Tuoba Lie: "Tell me."
Lin Ye: "It used to be important because the powerful ministers were in power, but now it is important because the remaining poison has not been exhausted, and there is still another person who doesn't know. It's because the humble position is not accurate for the future."
Tuoba Lie asked: "Are you not sure, or do you dare not say it?"
Lin Ye: "I have already said that there are two important things. If you don't know one, it's not because you don't dare."
Tuoba Lie: "In your mind, what kind of officialdom should it be?"
Lin Ye: "Everyone performs his duties."
Tuoba Lie frowned slightly: "Is it that simple?"
Lin Ye replied: "I feel that this is actually not simple anymore."
Tuoba Lie thought for a moment and nodded: "It is indeed not simple anymore. Throughout the ages, the most difficult thing in officialdom is just these four words."
He looked at Lin Ye and asked, "Are you full?"
Lin Ye: "I'm full."
Tuoba Lie snorted: "Then do what you should do. After all, everyone has to perform their duties."
Lin Ye stood up, took a step back, gave a military salute, then said goodbye and left.
After Tuoba Yunxi waited for Lin Ye to leave, he came out of the back room and asked Tuoba Lie: "Why don't you raise your eyebrows?"
Tuoba Lie glanced outside the door: "Because he has a big heart."
At the same time, the city lord's mansion.
Ning Weimo is neither Bu Guxin nor Xie Yelan. He does not have to be deliberately high-profile or deliberately low-key.
So he moved into the former City Lord's Mansion halfway up the mountain, which was slightly lower than Shangyang Palace Tianshui Cliff.
He visited Kitano King the day before yesterday and Tianshui Cliff yesterday.
Today he was in the city lord's mansion, standing on the mountainside looking at Yunzhou City, a place where he might live for a long time.
He actually has a relatively clear view of what the situation is like in Yunzhou City.
He also felt that he could guess 60-70% of His Majesty's thoughts towards the General.
Tuoba Lie is a very special person. This is not the founding period of Dayu, but he can be said to have the merit of following the dragon.
Looking at the whole world, there are only three people who can be said to have the power of following the dragon in the past twenty years. One is the master of Shangyang Palace, the other is Tuoba Lie, and the other is Liu Jigong.
Your Majesty will not touch him easily, but in the past ten years, Your Majesty seems to have used the opportunity of joining forces with Tuoba Lie to test him.
If Your Majesty wants to be the unpowerful minister in the world, then Tuoba Lie is the last powerful minister in the world.
So sometimes Ning Weimo couldn't help but think that Tuoba Lie was such a smart person, so smart that he could be said to be second only to the emperor.
Why haven't you returned to seclusion?
Your Majesty has replaced the king of Dongbo. Isn't he also beating Tuoba Lie?
Tuoba Lie should understand.
I can even change the king of Dongbo at will, why can't I change for a general?
Therefore, at this time, if he really understands the current situation and hands over the Kitano Army to His Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely give him the greatest kindness.
But Tuoba Lie doesn't seem to have this awareness, not before and not now.
Before coming, Emperor Yu told him that the first thing he would do after arriving in Yunzhou was to assist Lin Ye in rebuilding the Cowardly Army.
Lin Ye, a little person, a child, can even be said to be an idiot in the officialdom.
However, what Your Majesty needs is exactly this kind of person, who has the identity of the adopted son of General Liu Jigong, and is also a newcomer who does not have much interest in the old forces in Yunzhou.
In such a struggle, if Lin Ye dies, His Majesty will not care too much. After all, not one or two of the new people who can be used have died in the years since His Majesty took the throne.
If the reckless army overthrows Tuoba Lie, His Majesty will certainly make a huge profit.
This is where Ning Weimo's dilemma lies.
While he was thinking about this, his subordinates came over to report that a stranger had come to visit, claiming to be his fellow disciple.
Ning Weimo is not a martial arts practitioner. Since the word "fellow disciple" is used instead of "classmate", it means that this person's identity cannot be stated clearly, but it is very important.
The classmate who cannot be mentioned clearly is very important. Ning Weimo can guess who it is even by thinking about it with his buttocks.
Because he is the disciple of Wan Yulou, the current left prime minister, and he became a disciple of Wan Yulou after he entered Jinbang High School.
So when Wan Cangce was invited in and appeared in front of Ning Weimo, Ning Weimo didn't find it strange at all.
"Brother."
When Wan Cangce saw Ning Weimo, he quickly walked a few steps and then solemnly saluted.
Ning Weimo helped Wan Cangce stand up: "Where did you come from? Have you gone back to Geling to visit the Prime Minister first?"
Wan Cangce said: "My brother came back from Dongbo and passed by Yunzhou. I heard that my brother was transferred to Yunzhou for a post, so I came to visit."
Ning Weimo took Wan Cangce's hand, entered the living room and sat down.
"Brother, did you visit my father before leaving Beijing? Is my father okay?"
Wan Cangce asked.
This is a test.
Ning Weimo said: "Before I came from Geling, I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to say goodbye. The Prime Minister's hair was already gray and he didn't seem to be in good spirits."
How could Ning Weimo not hear this as a test? If he said he didn't go to say goodbye to the prime minister, then Wan Cangce should have guessed whether his father was about to lose power.
So after hearing this, Wan Cangce felt ashamed and said: "My father was also worried about me. I was young and crazy at that time, which made my father also worried."
Ning Weimo said: "It has been many years, and His Majesty has not pursued the matter. Just come back and hurry back to meet the Prime Minister as soon as possible."
Wan Cangce said: "Brother, with all due respect, I came to see you just to ask, is your Majesty still obsessed with what happened back then?"
Ning Weimo said: "Didn't I just say that your Majesty didn't go into details."
Wan Cangce: "That's good. I'm just afraid that if I go back, I will cause trouble to my father again."
Ning Weimo thought for a while and sighed.
"If not, you can stay here first, send someone to Geling to deliver a personal letter, and ask the prime minister what he thinks. If the prime minister lets you go back, it probably won't matter."
This was what Wan Cangce was waiting for. He stood up quickly and saluted again: "Thank you for taking me in, brother. I will bother you for the time being. I won't waste time waiting for my father's reply, whether he comes back or leaves."
Ning Weimo smiled and said: "If you call me brother, will I rush to drive you away? Just stay here."
Speaking of this, he looked at Wan Cangce: "You have been in Dongbo for many years, why do you suddenly want to go back?"
Wan Cangce said: "When I heard about the changes in Dongbo, I didn't dare to stay for a long time. I was homesick and missed my family, so I hurriedly sold off my property in Dongbo..."
When Ning Weimo heard the words "sell off property", he frowned slightly.
In the conversation between two people, every word is a test and has deep meaning.
He didn't ask any more questions, just casually picked a topic and chatted for a few more words.
But of course he knew that Wan Cangce's sudden return must be related to the old case from more than ten years ago.
He was able to hide in Dongbo for more than ten years not because of the care of the King of Dongbo.
Now that the weather has changed in Dongbo, the new king can see that Emperor Jade wants to investigate the old case, so how can he still protect him?
Wan Cangce stayed in the city lord for more than an hour. When he said goodbye, his face was already a little ugly.
He has already tested it out, and the emperor should be serious about it this time.
"Precarious."
Wan Cangce muttered to himself after going out.
Originally there was a big ship that could shelter him from the wind and rain, but now the ship's course has changed.
But there is no ready-made ship in the world that can compare with the Emperor's ship.
