C360 A Glib Tongue

After pondering for a while, Yan Hao nodded and said, "It's not that I don't believe your words, but it's just that this matter is too big. I should make it clear. " After a slight pause, Yan Hao continued, "If what Young Master said is true, the people of the world should blame me for all these crimes. In that case, my impression in the hearts of the people must be very bad, right? "

Du Qi had never thought that Yan Hao would care so much about his reputation. He had never thought that Yan Hao would ask such a lowly question with his wisdom. Could it be that Yan Hao was pretending to be stupid, or was pretending to be ignorant to shirk his responsibility? No matter what, Du Qi decided to remain unmoved and continue following his original plan. So he said the truth, "You can think about it. Will there be any good comments from the head assistant who rules the world in such a state of unrest?"

Yan Hao sighed and said, "Looking back on the road I have walked, there are indeed many people who died because of me. I didn't mean to hurt them. They were in high positions, so they couldn't bow to me. Some mistakes are inevitable. Sometimes, they know that I have made mistakes in my work and even committed crimes. In order to make them continue to work, they had no choice but to keep their eyes closed. They couldn't bear to punish them. Besides, it's inevitable that your subordinates are of both good and bad. It's also possible that someone will use my name to do some things that will anger both man and god. " After a pause, Yan Hao continued, "I am not saying this to shirk responsibility, but the truth. Young Master Du, please tell me, am I not worthy of praise among the people?"

Du Qi wanted to say that he did not have anything, but he suddenly remembered what he had seen when he came. He answered truthfully, "Not exactly. The words of the pavilion master are widely respected."

Hearing this, Yan Hao actually revealed a proud expression and asked," Other than that? "

Du Qi indeed did not know what other things Yan Hao had to be praised by the world, and he did not know what political achievements Yan Hao had to be praised for. He was not willing to lie to deceive and flatter Yan Hao, so he could only tell the truth. "Kid, you are young and shallow, and your understanding of the world is very limited. You really do not know what other people in the world would praise you for."

Yan Hao didn't seem to take Du Qi's words as his meaning. He actually laughed and said, "Young master really knows how to speak. He knows very well that the people in the world are dissatisfied with me. How could you not know how people praise me? It was obvious that there was nothing Young Master could say about this. Haha! Young Master, just say it. There's no need to beat around the bush. You've lost your true colors. "

After saying that, Yan Hao's expression changed, and he sighed in puzzlement. "How could it be like this? I have been working hard for the country and the people for years. How can I be satisfied with just this simple graffiti? Sigh! Poets from ancient times were difficult to become officials, and it was all because of the madness in their hearts. Li Du had a long line of writing and was dressed in plain clothes and half an official. If he had known this earlier, he would have done so. It would be better to be free and at ease in the mountains and forests of poetry and wine like the wise sages."

Seeing that Yan Hao seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied with the current situation, a glimmer of hope suddenly rose in Du Qi's heart, so he said gently, "Since the Pavilion Elder has seen this, why not destroy the sheep and mend the prison?"

Hearing this, a divine light suddenly flashed in Yan Hao's eyes, but it only flashed for a moment. He then sighed, "It's useless. No one can change this current situation! Unless..." Yan Hao suddenly changed the topic. "It's all done by those treacherous officials and people from the Heaven and Earth Cult. They caused me to do many things against my heart. Fortunately, I did not act according to the intention of the Heaven and Earth Cult back then. Today, I am able to have a long talk with young master. "

Du Qi was puzzled and asked," Is there some secret that is not known to the public? "

Yan Hao did not hesitate and said, "Back then, the Heaven and Earth Cult wanted me to think of ways to get rid of all the loyal and good generals in the court and then take charge of the court and listen to their orders."

Du Qi said sarcastically, "Didn't you do it?"

Yan Hao said, "Young master is not good. I have said that I did not intend to harm anyone. In these twenty years, have there been few loyal officials and generals in the court? It was precisely because of this that the people of the Heaven and Earth Cult refused to let go of this matter. To actually want me to wait for an opportunity to get rid of the Emperor, how can I do such an outrageous thing? Fortunately, after many years of painstaking management, I still have a few capable men of sacrifice under me. Fang will ensure my safety for the past ten years."

"Cough!" A soft sound came from the main hall above, as if someone had placed a teacup on the table. Du Qi suddenly remembered what he wanted to do this time, and his heart could not help but tremble. However, he pretended to be indifferent and said, "In that case, let's not talk about distance, nor about loyalty. How about we talk about good generals? "

As if he was in the midst of reminiscing about the past, Yan Hao seemed to have lost his intelligence from before and asked casually, "What kind of general do we have to discuss now?"

Du Qi didn't answer him. Instead, he asked, "The Southern Nihon and Northern Locusts are deeply involved in this matter. How are you going to defend them, elder?"

Yan Hao did not care and said, "In the South, there is Hu Zongxian, the governor of Jiangzhe, who is fighting against the Japanese. In the North, there is a general Wen Jin, who is guarding against Hu Lu. The South and the South are impregnable. How are the Japanese and Hu Lu going to defend them?"

Du Qi sneered and said, "Hu Zongxian has been in Jiangzhe for many years. I have not seen him destroy the Japanese. Fighting against the Japanese generals has caused the Japanese pirates to become even more ferocious, constantly invading the coastal areas of Minnan. Many local generals fought back, but they did not even get the least military supplies. Many of the generals died in the war. As for the north, if I answer, I will go against the border again. Can Wen Jin defend against it? "

Yan Hao couldn't help but feel a lingering fear when he recalled the ferocious aura of my answer twenty years ago. But he said to himself: "Then I have been silent for so many years. I think I am no longer alive. As for the other Hu Lu, they can't stir up any waves at all. I'm a strategist in China and generals are like rain. What do I have to fear? "

Seeing that Yan Hao was lying to himself, Du Qi did not know whether to laugh or cry. He asked, "Don't tell me you really don't know that not only am I still alive, but I am about to send my army down south to invade the heartland of our Central Plains?"

Yan Hao asked in surprise, "Is there such a thing? Why didn't he report such an important military report?"

For the past twenty years, although the Hu in the north have invaded and robbed cities and towns in our borders, however, it only happened at the border area, and no further incidents have occurred in the mainland. No one dared to rob the outskirts of the capital like I did twenty years ago. As for the news of my invasion this time, it was personally spread by Sloppy Monk from the Camel Horse Gang. It must be true. It was possible that the court had not heard of this military situation. Seeing this, Du Qi's heart was numb with pain. So he asked again, "Then, do you know why I gave up for so many years?"

Yan Hao seemed to be somewhat curious as he asked, "Why is that?"

Du Qi said, "Because he is afraid of one person. As long as that person is still there, he will not dare to act rashly!"

Yan Hao sighed with regret. "Does that mean that person is no longer around? I didn't expect there to be someone in my dynasty who can make me feel fear. How good would it be if he was still around! "
