The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

After hearing what Fan Xuao said, Xie Zhenghong was filled with fighting spirit. He picked up the wine jug, clinked it with Qin Mubai's, and drank it all in one gulp.

He wiped his mouth and looked at Fan Xuao beside him, with a hint of admiration and worry in his eyes.

"Brother Zizhan! What you said just now is indeed inspiring, but the current situation..." Xie Zhenghong seemed to be unable to speak.

Fan Xu'ao naturally understood the deep meaning of Xie Zhenghong's words. He glanced at Tan Mubai and said with a smile, "Brother Shao An! Tell Brother Yan Zhou about this."

"Hey!~"

Tan Mubai smiled ghostly, looked at the slightly prosperous Bianjing City in front of him and said: "Brother Yanzhou! Comfort makes people forget hatred and revenge, so we can't let those in power forget glory in this world."

"Glory?" Xie Zhenghong asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Tan Mubai did not answer with a cryptic riddle. Instead, he glanced at Xie Zhenghong and asked, "Brother Yanzhou! In the history book "The Chronicles of Emperors", which of them do you think can be called wise rulers of a prosperous era?"

Xie Zhenghong pondered for a moment after hearing this, and stroked the wine pot in his hand and said: "In terms of achievements, the Qin Emperor is the most meritorious, and in terms of strategy, Emperor Wu of Han is the best. As for Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, he is also a top figure."

Tan Mubai nodded in approval of Xie Zhenghong's evaluation.

Fan Xu'ao couldn't help but praise him, "It seems that Brother Yan Zhou and I are on the same path."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Xie Zhenghong repeatedly supported him and said, "What Yan Zhou learned was only the way to govern the world, while Brother Zizhan and Brother Shaoan learned the way to educate the emperor. I am really ashamed."

"Hey!~"

Fan Xu'ao sighed and said, "What a pity! There is no one in the world who knows this technique yet."

Tan Mubai nodded, and said with a little sadness: "That's right. The Great Song Dynasty has only been established for more than ten years. Now even if the emperor wants to leave a strong and colorful mark in the "Emperor's Chronicle", it is difficult."

Xie Zhenghong frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said loudly: "Perhaps the emperor is interested, but the Song Dynasty is very young now, and the emperor dare not gamble."

"Bet?" Fan Xuao asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Compared with Fan Xuao, Xie Zhenghong learned the art of governing the country, and he knew very well what the current Song Dynasty lacked and what its shortcomings were.

Faced with Fan Xuao's doubts, Xie Zhenghong naturally expressed his views without reservation and pointed out the shortcomings of the Song Dynasty at the moment.

After the explanation, Fan Xu'ao also stroked his hand respectfully and said: "Brother Yanzhou's words are not without reason. The Song Dynasty really can't stand the turmoil now."

"Yes."

Xie Zhenghong nodded and responded, "As long as there are people like Li Si and Xiao He in the court, all problems of the Song Dynasty can be easily solved."

Fan Xu'ao and Qin Mubai looked at each other and nodded repeatedly in agreement with Xie Zhenghong's words. After all, although the Song Dynasty was not in tatters at the moment, it was also surging with undercurrents.

The three of them drank in the mountains for several hours under the moonlight before they got on their carriages and left Yuxia Mountain.

"Boss!~"

Xie Zhenghong suddenly came to his senses after hearing this. He looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help laughing: "Shu Ting! Did Grandfather lose his composure just now?"

Xie Shuting let go of Xie Zhenghong's arm with a smile and asked softly, "Grandfather, are you thinking about the past?"

"Oh!~" Xie Zhenghong sighed without saying anything.

Lian Xi walked up to them quickly and said in a gentle voice, "Miss! You take the old man upstairs first. I'll be here."

"Yeah!~"

Xie Shuting nodded and said softly, "Grandfather! Let's go to the attic and sit down to see Laigu County at night? And by the way, tell your granddaughter the story of Master Fan?"

"You know?" Xie Zhenghong asked with a smile.

"Grandfather looked absent-minded all along the way. Even if Shu Ting is stupid, she can understand that Grandfather is thinking about the past."

"Okay, okay." Xie Zhenghong agreed repeatedly and followed Xie Shuting to the attic.

Lian Xi took a look at the menu, reported the foods that Xie Zhenghong was not eating one by one, and then brought some snacks and went to the attic.

In the attic guest room, Xie Zhenghong looked at the layout of the room and praised it generously: "Just like Xunyang, it is full of poetry and books."

"But it's still a little inferior to my grandfather's library."

As Xie Shuting spoke, she quickly walked to the tea table and began to boil water and make tea. Xie Zhenghong walked slowly to the window and looked at the magnificent view in front of it.

Lian Xi also came over with some snacks, glanced at the grandparents and grandchildren, then put the snacks down and walked out the door obediently.

Not long after, the room was filled with the aroma of tea, which brought Xie Zhenghong back to his senses.

He walked slowly to the tea table, sat down, picked up the teacup and took a sip. Suddenly, a gleam of light appeared in his eyes and he said, "Shu Ting! This tea tastes better and better."

"This is the tea produced this year. The craftsmen's skills are getting better and better."

As Xie Shuting spoke, she added more tea and said softly, "I have asked Lian Xi to prepare the tea leaves. You can take them back when your grandfather returns home."

"Will you let me go home?" Xie Zhenghong stroked his beard and chuckled.

Xie Shuting was obviously stunned when she heard this, then she thought about it and smiled bitterly, "Grandfather knows?"

"If you ask Fan Xu'ao, I will know your plan."

Xie Shuting stroked the teacup with a bitter smile, and then said with a smile: "Grandfather! Tell me what you think of Fan Xuao?"

"view?"

Xie Zhenghong was in deep thought for a moment, then hesitated and said with a sigh, "I was born at the wrong time."

Xie Shuting has lived two lives, and she knows exactly what Xie Zhenghong means. Fan Xuao is a member of the Gongyang School of Confucianism, and such radical elements are dangerous in troubled times.

Although Xie Shuting knew about Fan Xu'ao's deeds, she couldn't show it too obviously, so she could only patiently ask: "Grandfather! Your summary is too simple, please be more detailed!"

"You!" Xie Zhenghong smiled dotingly.

After pondering for a moment, he told her a brief account of Fan Xuao's affairs, including some things he knew and some things she didn't know.

After listening to Xie Zhenghong's summary, Xie Shuting's heart sank and she suddenly felt something was wrong.

Because Xie Zhenghong's words showed a hint of worry about Fan Xuao's radicalism, and this worry was a variable for Xie Shuting.

Her original intention was to send Xie Zhenghong to "Boundless Ocean", but after hearing Xie Zhenghong's narration, it was obvious that these two people could not be put together.

Fan Xuao belongs to the radical faction, while Xie Zhenghong is a conservative faction. She doesn't know whether these two people can produce good students if they are put together, but one thing is certain, there will be constant arguments.

Thinking of this, Xie Shuting flicked the teacup and said slowly, "Grandfather! Your granddaughter originally wanted you to go to Fan Hai Wu Ya, but now it seems that the plan needs to be changed."

Xie Zhenghong smiled and said, "Are you afraid that I will have a dispute with Fan Xu'ao?"

Although Xie Zhenghong directly exposed her thoughts, Xie Shuting's expression remained calm. She nodded nonchalantly and agreed to Xie Zhenghong's guess.
