Seeing that he took the initiative to think about this, he knew that he would ask himself quietly in private. Shuyu first glanced at him with appreciation, and then he induced him carefully: "Do you think Zhang Weng is still energetic now? How is his physical condition?"

Bai Jingyuan could not comment on Zhang Yuan's old body and his declining energy behind his back, and sighed long: "I don't know what to do! Zhang Weng has great kindness for me, but he has to repay me. Otherwise, who else would be willing to do things for me in the future?"

In his grandfather's words, everything in this world, fundamentally speaking, must follow the relationship of equality of interests. There is no reason why anyone just gives or doesn't give back.

Even if the Holy Father does good deeds without seeking material rewards, he will still accept them with pleasure.

In his grandfather's opinion, a good reputation is also valuable.

Now Mr. Zhang doesn’t want anything, which makes him very upset.

Although the Chu State knew that he, the king, cried bitterly because of the old minister's injuries, would praise Zhang Yuan's sincerity, but they would also praise the king's kindness. He could not cry twice, and he would have the same face as each other, so he would just pretend that he would not owe him?

Shuyu only thought that his eldest nephew could see through it clearly at a young age, and continued to guide: "Then, look at Mr. Zhang, what do you need most now?"

Bai Jingyuan counted with his fingers: "Zhang Qishui has a fief, a title, and an official position. Zhang Weng also has a lot of wives and concubines, a family full of children and grandchildren. He is not short of money. He has never heard of him as beautiful, but he is a good food, but how much can he eat?"

Seeing that he had already considered the problem very comprehensively, but his thinking still did not turn around, Shuyu continued to guide:

"Wen Zhang is already old, but he still has children and grandchildren, and his children and grandchildren. What is the most important thing for a family branch who is far away from the center of power and has been sent to the border for hundreds of years?"

His eldest nephew is good at everything, but he has not yet become a king and always forgets this when he looks at the problem.

Bai Jingyuan suddenly realized: "Can they want to return to Phoenix Platform?"

The Zhang family was originally one of the four major families of Fenghuangtai. Qishui and Zhang was originally just a branch of Zhang family. In the past, he went to Qishui City to guard the border for the king. Later, a certain king specially gave Qishui to them as a fief for Qishui and Zhang's heart.

Now Qishuizhang is already strong enough, so he is unwilling to be content with the status quo and wants to seek a broader platform.

Compared with the royal capital, although Qishui City is very important in geographical location, it is just a small countryside place.

Just like his employee, who was originally a small supervisor in the group company, was transferred to the branch company for training, if he could satisfy his superiors, he would be transferred back to the headquarters. He didn't understand why before, but his brother specifically explained to him what it means to "only the stage is big enough to hold his heart."

In the popular toxic chicken soup, it is always said that "the bigger the heart is, the bigger the stage is", which is all about it!

For example, as long as Qi Shui Zhang does not rebel, no matter how big their hearts are, they are limited to Qi Shui's scale, no matter how hard they are, they will be like that.

After thinking about this, Bai Jingyuan suddenly became enlightened.

Shuyu nodded with satisfaction: "Who doesn't want to gain a foothold in Phoenix Platform for any big family that has been passed down for thousands of years?"

Anyway, the fief is run by the retainers, so all the masters do not need to stay in the fief. Like his Gongshan, if he didn't want to take his eldest nephew to eat the seafood he was thinking about for a few days, he wouldn't have to go back for several years, and he just needed to send his trusted retainers to inspect regularly.

Bai Jingyuan nodded suddenly.

It turns out that it is a very unpromising thing to be an official in this era when it is crouched in the place where the fief is located?

No wonder many aristocratic families even go to other countries to become officials in order to seek greater development.

It seems that Zhang Weng’s descendants are not very qualified, so he wants nothing, just asking the king to take care of him.

Thinking about these things, Bai Jingyuan had a headache again: "Uncle, what should I do about this? The Empress is still angry!"

The person sent to pick up the cookies was caught at the palace gate. If he hadn't wanted to tear his face, he would have to catch it and beat him up. Obviously, Ren Xiu was still angry now.

Bai Zhi’s affairs have not yet subsided, and he has to arrange Qi Shuizhang again, but he is not that capable!

"I have this matter, don't worry. It's been a long time since you left the palace. It's time to go back to the palace. You can go and draw a picture later and send it to the empress."

"Is painting useful? Mr. Gongsun just discussed with me that in a few days the rice is ripe, so I will cut the rice that is the best growing in Phoenix Platform this year and send it to her."

Knowing that he had discussed this matter with his counselor, Shuyu was not angry, but was satisfied, nodded in agreement:

"It's so good, but you have to eat and do things step by step. These days, you have to write letters or draw every day, and when your uncle comes to court, you will deliver it to the empress."

Send it on the court?

With Ren Xiu's small-mindedness, although he would have done so for political reasons, he would definitely find a way to forgive him afterwards.

Isn’t this a typical case?

He was still too young, thinking that Ren Xiu gave Bai Zhi a fief, just to compromise. It turns out that if she didn't let out the breath, she would have to struggle sooner or later!

This time he suffered a great loss, and the chef still lies on the couch and can't get off. Bai Jingyuan has learned enough lessons and is naturally unwilling to do such things again.

"You don't know your mother enough. She values ​​interests more seriously. If you can get benefits, she will sometimes endure a little bit of affliction. You just need to give her enough face."

Bai Jingyuan nodded in recognition. For a moment, the uncle and nephew had no new topics, so the room was too quiet.

Uncle Yu likes this kind of warmth of the uncle and nephew getting along in private. It is rare that it is fine today. I am afraid that my eldest nephew is too bored here, so I decided to talk with him. Unfortunately, he is not good at telling stories. It is obvious that it is very interesting, but it sounds dry:

"Last time King Yan and Ying Shu Zhu returned from defeat, I sent a message to Lu State and asked the Lu Army to intercept him. I didn't expect that the Lu Army was so useless and even a few defeated generals could not stop him."

Once he was inertial to despise the Lu army, Shuyu was so excited that he sent someone to take a map and said enthusiastically: "If I led the troops myself, I would set up an ambush here that day..."

It is rare to have such an opportunity to talk about international current affairs with others. Although Bai Jingyuan thinks that Shuyu is not a good narrator, he still listens very seriously.

Anyway, if you have too many skills, if you don’t know anything about military affairs, wouldn’t you just let your ministers fool you in the future?

Their uncle and nephew were having fun, and the Empress Dowager in the palace was now covered in ice.

"You king is so handsome! Can you express this kind of requirement? The reason why our Chu army has not fought the Northern Expedition was just the new king who succeeded to the throne for the time being! Now that the country is stable, it is a good opportunity for the Northern Expedition! Although the Lu army is weak, it is not useless!"

Isn't she a fool in her mind? She will promise such a thankless thing!
