That day, the old Gongshu Cuo and the young Gongsun Yang talked for a long time, but no one knew what they talked about.

The waiters in the Prime Minister's Mansion only saw a dignified look on Gongsun Yang's face when he walked out of the room, while Gongsun Cuo's eyes showed a little relief.

The next morning, with the help of his eldest son Gongshu Yue, Gongshu Cuo, the prime minister, was wearing the red robe he used to go to court.

He carefully arranged his father's robe with his hands, and looked at the expression on his uncle's face from time to time, and heard his uncle ask a question that seemed to be intentional or unintentional.

"Does father value that Gongsun Martingale so much?"

When I heard the words my son asked about, although there was not much change in tone, how could Gongshu Cuo, who had been in the officialdom for a long time, fail to hear the deep meaning in it?

Regarding his son, Gongshu Cuo had no intention of dealing with him in a lingering manner, but went straight to the point.

A smile appeared on his face, and Gongshu Cuo asked softly: "But you feel that your father values ​​Gongsun Yang, and you feel dissatisfied?"

As soon as these words came out, Gongshu Cuo's eyes immediately moved to Gongshu Yue in front of him. Although the expression on his face changed slightly, there was not much panic. Gongshu Cuo's face immediately showed a hint of panic.

satisfy.

Today's world is a time of great strife. The princes are fighting, the ministers and officials are fighting, and even the scholars who have traveled to various countries are also fighting.

Young people are full of energy, and it is not a bad thing to always strive for the first place. On the contrary, it is too short-sighted to have no desire to win at all.

However, there is also a certain degree of victory. Within this degree, you should try your best, but outside this degree, you cannot do a single step.

It is obvious that even if his son Gongshu Yue is unhappy with Gongsun Yang, he is still within this limit, which makes Gongshu Cuo very satisfied.

His eyes stayed on Gongshu Yue's face for a moment, and before he could answer his question, he heard Gongshu Yue speak in a deep voice.

"I know that you have been dissatisfied with Gongsun Yang for several years and have been holding back your energy to surpass him. There is nothing wrong with this."

"But my father hopes that you can remember one thing. You and he were both taught by my father, but this friendship can never be separated."

"Father, I..."

Hearing Gongshu Cuo's words, Gongshu wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by his father's right hand.

"Yue'er, as a father, I will tell you what's on my mind today."

"When it comes to talent, you are indeed not as good as Gongsun Yang; when it comes to talent, there is a big gap between you and him now; as for your future situation..."

At this point, when he thought of the conversation between Wei Marquis Wei Feng and him in Bai's Restaurant yesterday, Gongshu Cuo sighed a little in his heart.

It is obvious that Gongsun Yang has entered Wei Feng's sight, and perhaps he will be able to sit in the position he is sitting in in the future.

"well……"

He looked at the son in front of him again, and heard Gongsun Yang continue to say: "My father is not telling you this much to belittle you, but to tell you something. Gongsun Yang's future is already limitless."

"It's not impossible for you to feel resentful and want to compete with him, but it's okay to compete but not excessively. Don't hurt the affection that exists between you and him."

"This is what I said to my father. How much you can understand it depends on you."

After Gongshu Cuo finished speaking these profound words, Gongshu wanted to say something more, but there was only one sentence left on his lips.

"A son should be taught by his father."

He nodded gently, and after arranging his robes with his hands, he heard his uncle Cuo say in a deep voice: "Okay, it's getting late, so please leave first."

"My son resigned."

After bowing to Gongshu Cuo, Gongshu Yue immediately walked slowly towards the door. At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Oh, by the way. Your Majesty heard that you are quite talented and wants to keep you by your side. You should be here in the next few days."

The uncle, who had a gloomy expression on his face, turned around with a happy smile the more he heard the news.

"Thank you very much, son."

"It's not me you should be grateful to, but your Majesty." Looking at the beaming son in front of him, he heard Uncle Cui warn in a deep voice: "In the future, when serving your Majesty, you must be respectful and not slack off at all."

"Father, my son understands."

After a while, listening to the footsteps getting further and further away from his ears, and looking at the increasingly blurry figure in front of him, Gongshu Cuo's eyes were full of contemplation.

…

"My lords, if there is nothing else to do, today's meeting will end here."

In the main hall of the Wei State Palace, with the words of Wei Marquis Wei Feng, today's court meeting came to an end.

Just as a group of courtiers were leaving in twos and threes, the prime minister, Gongshu Cuo, who was the head of a hundred officials, was blocked by an eunuch.

"Prime Minister, your Majesty has a request."

"Your Majesty, Uncle Cuo, will obey your orders and will lead the way if necessary."

In this way, Gongshu Cuo followed the eunuch's footsteps until he came to the back hall of the Wei Palace, where Wei Hou Wei Feng had been waiting for a long time.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has arrived."

"I know, you can go down first." After taking a look at the eunuch standing in front of him, Wei Feng said in a deep voice.

After a few breaths, when the eunuch's figure disappeared into the hall, Wei Feng looked at Gongshu Cuo beside him.

"Teacher, do you know why I summoned you today?"

Facing the question from Wei Feng in front of him, Gongshu Cuo immediately answered with a certain tone after some thought.

"Now the top priority of our Wei State is the two wars between Qixi and Qindong. If the old minister's prediction is correct, your Majesty summoned me here today for these two things, right?"

Looking at the determined look on Uncle Cuo's face in front of him, a smile appeared on Wei Feng's face, "Teacher really understands my thoughts."

"Now the two battlefields in the west of Qi and in the east of Qin are winning consecutive battles. How should we, the Wei State, respond next? I would like to ask the teacher to make some plans for me."

When Wei Feng's voice rang in his ears, Gongshu Cuo fell into deep thought again. At the same time, everything about the Qin Kingdom kept emerging in his mind.

After a long period of contemplation, I heard Gongshu Cuo say to Wei Feng in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, our army has captured Yueyang, the capital of Qin State. The battle between Qin State and Wei State is now

The victory has been decided."

"But as I said to you before, although our country, Wei, has the upper hand in this confrontation, it is not a good opportunity to destroy Qin at this moment."

"Since this old minister feels that there is no need to continue the war between Qin and Dong, the focus of Wei State's next strategy for Qin should be on peace talks."

After throwing out his views on the Qin State, he thought about it for a while, and then heard Gongshu Cuo continue to say: "We in Wei State should achieve two goals in this peace negotiation."

"First, to consolidate the victory our Wei army won from Qindong in this war; second, to strive to hold some strategic locations in our hands to prepare for the next war."

After listening to Gongshu Cuo's analysis, Wei Feng nodded slightly. It was obvious that this coincided with what he had thought before.

"In this case, I will leave the matter of negotiating with Qin He to the teacher's full authority."

"Old minister, obey the order."
