Qi Yu decided to have a good talk with Hong Tao and take the opportunity to shake things up so that he could get on the right track better.
Well, it’s better to choose a day than to hit it, so let’s choose today.
In terms of contribution, Hong Tao is a meritorious person, so even if he is biased in his heart, he cannot be disrespectful for the sake of face.
Adhering to the principle of valuing talents and cherishing them, Qi Yu specially set up a meaningful Hongmen Banquet at the Shi brothers' "Really Delicious" restaurant.
Then, he would drink tea, tease the birds, and wait for the rabbit.
When Rabbit heard that his future father-in-law had invited him, he naturally rushed to meet him. How could he dare to be vague at all?
In order to leave a good impression, he even wore an elegant gown, shaved his face, washed himself, and made himself look elegant.
"I will finally meet Master Qi!"
"Um...eh?"
Qi Yu looked up and couldn't help being stunned.
Hey!
This guy has changed into a decent outfit, but he still has some talent and appearance~~
It seems that I still have a bit of my style back then.
Seeing Master Qi's expression softening, Hong Tao couldn't help but feel happy: Looking at this, could it be that something good is about to happen?
However, the next second, his smile broke.
I heard Qi Yu say with dignity: "I called you here because I wanted to talk about military affairs with you, but I never thought that you were dressed so nondescript! A military commander should look like a military commander. You wear a long gown.
,Are you planning to take the exam to become a scholar?"
ah!!
It turns out that Mr. Qi doesn’t like dressing up like this...
It's really self-defeating.
Hong Tao sighed sadly, and his good mood was shattered.
When Qi Yu saw this, the corners of his mouth not only curled up.
"Don't be stunned, sit down quickly!"
"yes!"
Having said that, Mr. Qi clapped his hands conveniently and signaled to the waiter that the food could be served.
drink!
Another authentic Qi Governor set meal!
There are four side dishes and a pot of sake, but compared to before, the dishes are all vegetarian dishes that are economical.
A low-fat diet is good for your health.
"My lord please!"
"Um……"
Qi Yu gently licked the wine glass, then put it down and said, "Hong Tao, what kind of person do you think you are?"
"How to say this..."
"It's okay, let's talk about it"
At this time, Hong Tao's mind was racing and he tried his best to analyze the meaning of the words.
He believed that Mr. Qi was asking about his character.
When you answer your own questions, you naturally have to flatter yourself. Is it possible that you also belittle yourself?
Adhering to this self-interest principle, Hong Tao replied with a smile: "I may not admit that I am knowledgeable, but I am still very ethical in my loyalty, justice, filial piety and brotherhood. Even if I am not as good as the water in the legend, I can still be a model for the public."
Although there was an element of self-praise in these words, Hong Tao believed that what he said was all the truth.
He is loyal to the country, upholds human ethics and filial piety, and treats his colleagues with deep loyalty. Many etiquettes are never exceeded.
Even Peng Wenchang, who is known as a virtuous man, praised himself highly. This shows that his actions are still recognized by the world.
In other words, what I said was not empty talk.
However, Qi Yu responded with a sneer.
"Sir, do you think I am right?"
"Of course! And it's still quite wrong!"
Hong Tao concealed his confusion and asked for advice: "In your opinion, what kind of person is the general?"
Qi Yu held the wine glass and sighed with regret and disappointment: "In my eyes, you are an unfaithful and unfilial person!"
What?
You can say random things, but you can't talk nonsense!
Hong Tao suppressed the ups and downs in his heart and tried his best to steady his breathing: "Master Qi, why do you evaluate the general like this? What is the reason and basis for it?"
Want to debate some truths with me?
Hum hum, you are still a bit young!
Qi Yu calmly put down his wine glass, sat upright, and said with a serious face: "I naturally have my own reasons for saying this. Let's take the fact that you came to Qiongzhou as an example. By doing this, you have committed an act of disloyalty and unfilial piety.
fact!"
Hong Tao was sweating after hearing this, but he did not dare to argue, so he could only sit there and listen quietly.
Qi Yu continued: "The land of Mobei is the frontier of our Dafeng, and it also bears the heavy military responsibility of resisting the two powerful forces in the north. Only by keeping it intact can the capital of our dynasty be safe. Its heavy burden is definitely not
The military in other places is comparable. However, at the time when the Northern Expedition was about to begin, you ignored the interests of the country because of your personal affairs with your children, and came to Qiongzhou to know Shaoai, wasting your time. You said, you
Are you ignorant? Are you not loyal enough to the country?"
"I……"
"As the adopted son of Brother Qi, you should have been filial in front of the horse and in front of you. But you left without saying goodbye and wandered around the world. Do you know how sad Brother Qi and his wife will be? Do you know how much they look forward to it?
?Tell yourself, are you not filial enough? Are you not a son of man in vain if you ignore your parents at the border?"
"I……"
"snort!"
Faced with Master Qi's series of questions, Hong Tao felt that he was unable to argue.
He couldn't understand why he had become so unfaithful and unfilial!
However, what Mr. Qi said was so reasonable and well-founded that it was impossible to argue with him. It felt really uncomfortable.
After coming to his senses, he suddenly realized: something is not good, something bad has happened!
If you are so bad in Master Qi's eyes, then won't your marriage with Xiaotong be ruined?
Isn't this an obvious thing about lice on a bald man's head?
Oops, what do you think we should do?
Seeing that his face was getting more and more ugly, Qi Yu's laughter couldn't help but increase by one again.
Shicai's reprimand was more or less taken out of context. Objectively speaking, it was indeed unfair.
When Hong Tao made meritorious deeds in Nanyang, doesn’t that count as loyalty?
What's wrong with people coming to Qiong to pursue their own love?
Such a final conclusion is no different from judging the overall situation based on one spot, which is really too one-sided.
However, Qi Dalang did this on purpose!
It seems that a powerful general like Hong Tao can only suffer the loss of being dumb in front of a wily civil servant like him.
According to Qi Yu's previous plan, he originally wanted Hong Tao to guard the Strait of Malacca.
However, after Xiaotong took the initiative to help, he temporarily changed his mind.
Sumatra is not too far from Australia. If the two of them go back and forth there and flirt with each other, wouldn't that indirectly encourage unhealthy trends?
Therefore, we have to find a way to kick this kid to the edge of the earth so that he can't come back in a short time.
Only in this way can the real anti-wolf effect be achieved and this matter completely suppressed.
