"Uncle Dian!" An immature boy in riding clothes ran over when he saw that Dian didn't know him.

Dian Bushi was taken aback for a moment, then immediately stretched out his arms to hug the boy, and lifted up the boy: "Who am I talking about! So it's Xiao Shizi, Xiao Jianger, who has grown so tall?"

"Uncle Dian!" Gu Jiang sat on Dian Bushi's arm, wrapped one hand around Dian Bushi's neck, and looked at the beard on Dian Bushi's face curiously: "Uncle Dian, tell me about your broken Rong's story!"

Dian Bushi raised his head and smiled: "Why is this so difficult? If you want to hear it, Third Uncle can talk to you for a few days or nights!"

Yu Junfan said from the side: "Brother Dian, you are finally here. Jiang'er always asks when his Third Uncle Dian will return. On weekdays, Jiang'er admires you the most."

Dian Bushi put Gu Jiang down, reached out and patted Gu Jiang's head: "Good boy, Third Uncle has been here these few days and has been playing with you, okay?"

"it is good!"

Yu Junfan said: "Brother Dian, please!"

"Prefect Yu, please!"

After taking their seats together, Chen Jiang came soon after, leaned closer, and said to Gu Ao: "The warriors brought by the third brother, I'm all in the outer hall, arranged, and the food and drinks are ready."

Gu Ao nodded: "Then let's start the banquet."

"Yes."

The waiters who filed in brought delicacies and fine wines from the Northland, and soon there were endless sounds of toasts and cups inside and outside the hall.Gu Ao, Lord Yu, Fan Chen Jiang, etc. first entered the outer hall and drank a few cups with the generals, and announced the award for military achievements during the banquet, and everyone thanked them; Of course.Gu Ao sat beside Dian Bushi, and said with a smile, "How does this pork head taste?"

Dian Bushi held the wine cup in one hand, raised his head and took a sip, repeatedly said: "Delicious! Delicious! This can be regarded as satisfying my hunger!" He raised his sleeve and wiped the corner of his mouth: "This wine is delicious! That's good too! The wine of the Rong people is strong, this wine is delicious!"

Gu Ao nodded and said: "Then you should thank Prefect Yu well, he bought these from Shangjing specially for you, I know you like this."

"Big Brother said, Governor Yu, I offer you a toast."

"Brother Dian, you're welcome. I think you and Brother Hanwang haven't seen each other for a long time, so you should have some good wine to enjoy yourself."

"Jun Fan's words are very true, third brother, come, let's drink!"

"It should be my respectful elder brother!"

The cups are mixed, and after an hour, the wine has reached the point of intoxication.Dian Bushi's face was rosy, he picked up the wine cup, stood up, and suddenly sang.He only heard the high-pitched and distant voice, but it was a little desolate.Gu Ao asked: "Third brother, what song is this? The tune is so sonorous?"

Dian Bushi said: "This is a folk song in Rongdi. It tells the story of two brothers who manage a pasture, herd cattle and sheep, and fight against a snowstorm."

"Then what happened to the two brothers? Can they work together to protect the flock?"

"Not only protected the sheep, but also took advantage of the snowstorm to snatch some sheep from other people's homes."

Gu Ao said: "Rong people are also simple, such things are sung so straightforwardly in the song."

Holding the wine cup, Dian Bushi approached Gu Ao, said in a low voice with a red face, "Brother...I heard...the one in Shangjing...the son of the Yong family, relying on him to hold the emperor... several times Trouble you, don't you?"

Gu Ao took a sip of wine: "The emperor...sometimes he is deceived by traitors..."

Dian Bushi said: "Nowadays the world is in decline, this year there is a drought in Jiangdong, there are refugees everywhere, the imperial court doesn't care about it, does it?"

Gu Ao sighed: "I wrote to the imperial court many times, persuading them to open granaries and distribute grain to the people, but unfortunately the imperial court did not accept it. I have pity on those common people."

"Brother... If that's the case, why don't we follow the example of the two brothers in the blizzard..."

Gu Ao looked ignorant of Dian.

Dian didn't know "嗙", put the wine cup in his hand to the small case in front of Gu Ao, and said: "...Elder brother, brother, from the first time I saw you, you are not only my benefactor, but also a benefactor. The teacher of my life. You taught me all my abilities." As he spoke, he held Gu Ao's hand without knowing the rules: "Brother... If the world changes, you call my younger brother, and my younger brother will die No excuses."

Gu Ao patted the back of Dian Buzhi's hand: "I know your heart." After speaking, Gu Ao paused: "It's just that we have to wait for God's will."

"Hey, I understand. I'll listen to my brother."

"Come on, have a drink."

Dian didn't know how to drink it all, and Gu Ao said: "Third brother, you and I are brothers and sisters. From now on in this world, we need our brothers to work together. The Great Ming King failed in the past, do you know why?"

"Why?" Dian Bushi leaned closer.

"It's because the Great Tomorrow King is greedy for the land and the nobles, causing internal chaos and forgetting to be the foundation of the people. If you and I want to complete the unfinished business of the Great Tomorrow King, we must calm the world and protect the land and the people." Gu Ao clapped his hands. The chest that Dian didn't know: "Here you are, you must never forget the importance of 'people', and only think about making meritorious deeds. We have to build meritorious deeds, but we are making meritorious deeds for the people, and we can't put the cart before the horse. Do you understand?"

"Brother, I naturally understand!"

Gu Ao smiled: "You have to think about it every day, where did you and I come from? Now, we have trekked thousands of mountains and rivers to fight against the army in the north, but we originally came from a poor family, from the common people. Yes. You must not forget."

Dian Bushi said: "Brother, I will never forget."

"You swear."

Dian Bushi knelt down in front of Gu Ao: "I Dian Bushi will never forget, I came from the common people, I came from a humble family. No matter how many achievements I make in the future, I will never forget my original intention."

"Okay, okay." Gu Ao helped Dian Bushi up: "Third brother, King Yan, as long as you don't forget your original intention, I will not teach you as a disciple in vain, nor recognize you as a younger brother in vain, nor seal you in vain." King Yan. From now on, to bring peace to the world, there are still many achievements in this world, waiting for you to build them!"

"Brother!" Dian Bushi looked at Gu Ao, "If I do something wrong in the future, just feel free to punish me, Big Brother!"

And at the time when Yuyang's monarch and ministers were in harmony.In the Yongfu in Shangjing, it was not peaceful.Yong Chi was in the study, pacing impatiently with his head battered, and the reports of the disaster were flying in one by one like snowflakes, and his case had already been piled up.

At this time, someone reported: "My lord, there is a father-in-law in the palace, saying that the emperor summoned the lord to go to the imperial study to discuss matters. It seems that the king of Han has sent a memorial again, asking the court to open a warehouse to help the people. Several old officials have already quarreled. No, the emperor can't make up his mind, let you make up your mind."

Yong Chi threw down a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, and asked a confidant of Hu Ben standing beside him, "What do you think?"

That Hu Ben's confidant took a step forward, and said: "I see that boy Gu Ao is uneasy and kind, ah, he wants to open a warehouse, why doesn't he bring his army rations to help the people? This year's rations were already confiscated, and now they have to help the people." , that’s all used by Huben and Fenwu, as well as the salaries of the imperial officials! This is shaking the foundation of the country!”

"What do you think?" Yong Chi asked another person.

Another Huben general said: "The people have no food, they are nothing more than turning into bandits. Isn't the prince of the Liao family in Jiangqu good at suppressing bandits? Let him go. But he may not have much food in Jiangqu this year. !"

Yong Chi laughed: "Only you have a lot of eyes, suppressing bandits? Can such a thing as suppressing bandits be assigned to an ambitious person like Liao Quji? Confused!" Yong Chi touched his chin: "But When you say that, you have reminded me.”

After finishing speaking, Yong Chi smoothed his robe, and said to the attendant at the door: "Prepare the horse, this king will enter the palace right away!"
