"The situation in Yizhou has been tense recently. I wonder if my brother has ever thought of finding another way out?" Since Zhang Song took the initiative to inquire, Fa Zheng did not hide it. He went straight to the point and directly revealed the key to the problem. {[}

This is definitely a straightforward and honest manner. When you open your mouth, you can point out the core of the problem. It can be said that you can see the pain in one stroke and leave no room for anything.

If Zhang Song is vague, perfunctory, or talks about other things, then there is no need to say what Fa Zheng wants to say next.

This may be the result of Zhang Song treating each other with sincerity. Fa Zheng did not hesitate and spoke frankly.

After hearing this, Zhang Song opened his eyes, which had been half-closed, staring straight at Fa Zheng, and stared for a while without blinking.

After he looked away, he slowly picked up the wine cup and drank it himself, one by one, as if he was drinking to drown his sorrows, or he took this opportunity to think about the questions raised by Fazheng.

Indeed, Zhang Song had to think carefully and weigh it carefully. After all, all the glory he received now was given by the current lord Liu Zhang. He had to be grateful for this kind of favor that he knew, and could not put it aside and turn a blind eye.

The reason why people are human is that they not only have smart minds, hard-working hands, and incomparable creativity; they also have many emotions, delicate and sincere feelings that other creatures do not have.

Before meeting Liu Zhang, Zhang Song was always unknown, not only was he treated coldly, but he was also sarcastic in public and secretly, rolled his eyes and suffered a lot. However, since he was appreciated by Liu Zhang, all this suddenly changed. No one dared to look down on him anymore, nor did he dare to sarcastically sarcastically at him anymore. No one dared to talk about his short stature and ugly appearance, and he was respected everywhere he went, and he was highly regarded everywhere. All of this was given to him by Liu Zhang. It was tantamount to regaining his life and being upright and straightening his back.

However, it has to be considered that Liu Zhang could give him Zhang Song the power and status. Since then, what he has received is nothing more than some material rewards, and he can no longer obtain higher official titles and a greater stage to display his talents. This is because although Yizhou is vast and rich, it is rich in resources and rich in people. It is ultimately located in a corner, with only one state, which limits the talents of many people who claim to be outstanding in talent. Even if he has talent, even if he is talented, he can only stay in Yizhou, and at most he can serve as a prefect of another or a county. There is no other possibility.

The crux of all this lies in Liu Zhang. Because he did not have the ambition of other prefectures and counties. He did not want to make progress and was content with enjoyment. He just wanted to stay in Yizhou for the rest of his life, enjoy his life in his "kingdom" and live his life.

In this way, all the civil servants and military generals who followed him could only be encircled in Yizhou, and their lifelong ideals and struggles were limited to a state. No matter how outstanding his talents were, they were at best the talents of a county, like a frog in a well. They were always fixed in a circle and had no greater room to play.

It is precisely because of this that many aspiring people in Yizhou have made countless suggestions, hoping that Liu Zhang would lead the Yizhou army to enter Yizhou, advance to the Central Plains, and even compete for the country and win the world. However, Liu Zhang was indifferent at all and did not even have the courage to become a king or emperor, let alone compete for the Central Plains and win the world?

It is because of this situation that the internal struggles within Yizhou are extremely fierce, intrigues, open and secret struggles are everywhere. After all, the Yizhou subordinates have no other room to play, and can only fight wits and courage within the prefectures and counties to obtain some of the satisfaction they want. The most is to satisfy their vanity, so that they will not be indulged in love with nothing or have no life.

However, when Yizhou officials were uneasy about the status quo, the people of Yizhou enjoyed this peaceful life without war. After all, the people do not have as many requests as high-ranking officials, nor do they have as strong energy as theirs. What the people need is actually very simple, just hope that their family life will get better and better every year, that their children can be better than each generation, that their families can be happier and healthy, and that as for the rest, they don’t think about anything else. In fact, the people do not think about it, but clearly know that some unrealistic things are impossible to get even if they think about it day and night, so they simply don’t think about it; only by simply asking for it can you be satisfied, otherwise they will live too tiring for the rest of their lives and will be in vain in the end.

This may be the difference between ordinary people and officials. People have been exploring the land under their names throughout their lives, working hard and working hard without hesitating to sweat. When they see the harvest, they will feel very happy; this is the result of hard work, simple happiness, and the source of all happiness in the world. In comparison, officials spend most of their lives thinking about people and things, and their main goal is people, thinking about bosses, subordinates, people around them, and all people related to their own interests; the higher the position, the more thoughts they use to ponder people, and vice versa.

The source of all this comes from "the superior controls people". To use people, you must understand the people you use, and this requires many aspects of understanding and deep thinking before you can use them. All superiors are owners of rights. Rights themselves cannot directly create wealth, but rights can control the distribution of wealth and thus control wealth. It is precisely because of this that all happiness in the world comes from the hard work of ordinary people, otherwise everything is the moon in the mirror. (Offtopic, but this is what Hu Ben wants to say, and it is also the most obvious truth that hopes that book friends can understand. Perhaps the Xiaoqi will not bring you much practical gains, but at least it can explain some simple truths thoroughly; if this is the way, it will not be in vain for more than 400 days and nights of hard work.)

While drinking and drinking, Zhang Song got drunk and fell asleep directly in the lobby.

Since Fa Zheng asked the question with bloody slash, he did not speak from beginning to end, but fell asleep while drinking one by one.

He was evading, or evading, but at least he did not make excuses or deceiving Fazheng.

He didn't say a word, but told Fa Zheng the answer. Silence is the answer, and the answer is: he was hesitating and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

There was no need to go to discuss matters the next day, so Zhang Song slept until very late before getting up. Fa Zheng was slept with him, but he had already gotten up.

After Zhang Song washed and had a meal, he sat with Fa Zheng again and cooked tea in the water pavilion in the back garden and talked.

"What my brother said last night is really hard for me to answer. I hope my brother will be generous and generous." I poured Fa Zheng a cup of tea with his own hands, and Zhang Song apologized to Fa Zheng sincerely.

Fa Zheng smiled and shook his head, saying, "Brother, don't need to worry. I can understand my brother's difficulties. Speaking of which, it is also abrupt. Even though he knows that Liu Jiyu has the kindness of helping his brother, he still raises such a sharp question, which is indeed arrogance. He really makes things difficult for his brother. Looking back now, it is true that I am too presumptuous, and it is not worth it!"

Zhang Song looked slightly stunned, and then laughed silently and said, "If Brother Yu remembered correctly, Xiaozhi would not easily admit his mistake. This time, he was the first to make an exception! Hahaha!"

Fa Zheng accepted it happily without any excuse, and admitted: "What my brother said is right. I was indeed very stubborn, very conceited, never admit defeat, and never admits mistakes. However, when I became an official, I followed my lord for a year, spending time with me day and night, and learned from my lord's habit of admitting mistakes and correcting mistakes. Although my lord never admits his mistakes publicly, if he realizes that he is wrong, he will correct it immediately and wait until he corrects it.

At that time, my foolish brother was very confused about this and did not understand it until afterwards. As a master, he could not admit his mistakes even if he did something wrong, but he could correct his mistakes. After everything has been corrected, admitting his mistakes is an open-minded mind and attitude; but when he makes a mistake, he cannot admit his mistakes, because the master needs to maintain his lofty prestige and status. Therefore, for me, there are no so many concerns, and it is not embarrassing to admit his mistakes. Do you agree with this?”

Zhang Song nodded slightly and said thoughtfully: "The General is indeed the heroic ruler of the world. Not to mention the outstanding achievements before, just talking about the battle of Hebei, the General suffered the biggest defeat in his life, but he led his troops to fight again more than a month later, regaining Xuzhou in one fell swoop, thus occupying half of the country. Just because of this courage and courage that has become more and more courageous in the face of setbacks, Brother Yu admires it!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Song looked directly at Fa Zheng, deliberately lowered his voice, and said, "Xiaozhi must be here with a major mission when he enters Sichuan this time. If Brother Yu is expected to be good, it must be that the general is targeting Yizhou and will send troops to the southwest in the near future. I wonder if Brother Yu is sure?"

After hearing this, Fa Zheng nodded slightly with a calm expression and whispered: "Brother is quick-witted, which makes me very convinced. As my brother said, I want to send troops to Xichuan this time, and I hope my brother will help you!"

After a pause, Fa Zheng continued to say, "Brother, don't be anxious to refuse for the moment. Let me finish my words. Liu Jiyu, Yizhou, is weak and incompetent, is content to enjoy and not enterprising. This is a fact that Zhou knew. Since he introduced Yizhou, it has been more than six years since he took over Yizhou, but he has let the Southern Barbarians cause trouble for many years but has no choice but to do anything. This alone is enough to show that he is mediocre and incompetent, even if he is not a foolish king, he is also a mediocre master. Therefore, compared with Liu Jiyu, it is obvious which is better than my lord. Because of this, I came here specially to persuade my brother to abandon the secret and turn to the light, and join my lord to serve with me. With my brother's talent, I think that my brother is at least the governor of a state. Only in this way can I show my strengths and live up to what I have learned in my life. I wonder if my brother agrees?"

"Uh! This" Zhang Song was surprised, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, but it flashed away, and he immediately focused his mind and said seriously: "Your brother is too proud of Brother Yu, and I really don't dare to take it. Of course, although Brother Yu is a different person, he has no military power in his hands, so he really can't help the brother, nor can he help the general. In this section, Brother Yu is very clear. What else can Brother Yu do for him in this way? One thing is that Brother Yu declared in advance that Brother Yu would not do the job of killing the master!"
