Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 702
Seeing that Li Jing was in a good mood, Li Anguo smiled and said, "Father, my son wants to discuss something with you."

Li Jing smiled and said, "What do you want to do? You want to go to the front with the army to fight?"

Li Anguo scratched his head: "Uncle Gao told you?"

Li Jing smiled and said, "How many times have I said that?"

Li Anguo said: "Father, the child is not young, you have been letting the child practice in the army, but what can you experience without actual combat?"

Li Jing smiled and said, "You are only 15 years old, you are still a child."

Li Anguo said anxiously: "Father, brother Dingguo has been with you since he was 12 years old, and the child is 15 years old, how can you say he is young?"

Li Jing said with a smile: "When your brother Dingguo went out with me, he was just a soldier beside me. Later, when he was transferred to the main battle force, he started as an ordinary soldier. If you can be like your brother Dingguo, I'll send you to the front."

Shen Ying heard anxiously: "Master, it is too dangerous to go to the front line, and he is still an ordinary soldier, what if something happens to Anguo?"

Li Jing shook his head, just looking at Li Anguo.

Li Anguo said: "Father, my boy is willing to be just an ordinary soldier. My boy should be like Brother Dingguo, starting from an ordinary soldier, and then promoted to a general with military merit."

Li Jing nodded with a smile: "It's good that you have this determination, but whether you can be a general is not only military talent but also luck, and your brother Dingguo has both of these two things to be promoted to today's position. "

"Father, didn't brother Dingguo achieve his military exploits in one battle after another? How can you say it's luck?" Li Anguo asked.

Li Jing laughed out loud.

After laughing for a while, Li Jingfang said: "A lot of things in this world depend on luck, including wars. Think about it, your Uncle Cao has so many generals, why is it that only your brother Dingguo is promoted the fastest? No matter how confused you are, Uncle Cao, And I won’t hand over all the battles to your brother Dingguo, and let him make meritorious deeds alone. Don’t forget, the closest generals under your Uncle Cao include his confidant Ma Ke, his nephew Cao Bianjiao, and There is your tiger-headed brother.

Let me give you an example. When your Uncle Cao besieged Zhang Xianzhong's troops under the city of Anqing, Zhang Xianzhong led his troops to break through, and chose the direction of your brother Dingguo. Therefore, your brother Dingguo made a great contribution in that battle.If Zhang Xianzhong didn't choose your brother Dingguo's direction, then the credit would be someone else's. This is luck! "

Li Anguo nodded silently.

Patting the seat next to him, Li Jing smiled and said, "Come and sit, let me have a good chat today."

"Thank you, Father, for giving me the seat." Li Anguo said hastily.

Li Jing smiled: "There is no outsider, don't yell at your father one by one, it sounds awkward to me."

Li Anguo smiled and called daddy.

Li Jing gently patted Li Anguo's head and said with a smile, "You and my father and son, that's the kindest way to call you."

Li Anguo smiled and said yes.

Poured a cup of tea for Li Anguo, Li Jing smiled and said, "Drink tea."

"Thank you dad." Li Anguo took the teacup and said.

Li Jing looked at his son and sighed softly: "An Guo, in terms of military talent, you are not as good as your brother Dingguo, and it can even be said that no one in the younger generation can match your brother Dingguo. So after I retire, the post of governor will definitely be passed on to him.

You are my son. There is no doubt that the generals under my command will push you to take over the position of Prime Minister in the future. I have already seen this clearly.

But letting you take my place is not what I want. I don't want the position of prime minister to be hereditary. Isn't that the emperor passing the throne to his son?
But there are some things that I can't help. Some people don't listen to what I say now, not to mention that after I retire, the generals below have 1 reasons for you to take my place.

That being the case, then you have to learn how to govern.

You may have been complaining that I don't let you come out to do things. In fact, I let you experience at the bottom to lay the foundation for you to govern in the future.Only when you understand what the life of the people at the bottom is like, can you know how to treat the people in the future.Similarly, you can only know how hard the training of soldiers is when you stay with the soldiers at the bottom. Then you can be cautious when you order foreign troops in the future.Do you understand? "

"Father, my child understands." Li Anguo said hastily.

Li Jing shook his head with a smile: "You may not understand, because you are still young and do not understand the sufferings of the common people. In fact, if your mother didn't want to part with you, I would have left you in Hongshanling in the first place, and let you follow me. Those common people live together.

Anguo, don't think your father is cruel, I am thinking of you.Because you live with us, it is equivalent to having the words "Master Li Family" on your forehead. Everyone respects you and gives you three points.Just because everyone gave way to you, you have developed the problem of a young master in the past few years.

I also had no choice, so I sent you to the army and handed you over to Uncle Gao, hoping to correct your problems.

But what did you do in the army?Your Uncle Gao assigned you to the gendarmerie, good guy, you dare to arrest and beat my subordinates under Uncle Chen, Uncle Cao, and even my subordinates.

Even your father and I dare not be so arrogant.

You are my son, if you were someone else, you wouldn't even know how you died.Your Uncle Gao really had no other choice, so he transferred you from the gendarmerie, fearing that you would cause trouble again.

You should know who Uncle Gao is. Whenever you see him doing favoritism, it's just for your sake. Uncle Gao is an exception. "

"Father, I know my mistake." Li Anguo said hastily.

Li Jing smiled: "I don't mean to blame you. In fact, I am very satisfied with you. Although what you have done is too much, it is still a reasonable word after all. It's just that you were young and encouraged by others. Somewhat out of line."

After a pause, Li Jing continued with a smile: "Compared to the children of some ministers in the court, who bully men and women and do all kinds of evil, you will give your father a lot of face."

Li Anguo hurriedly said: "My child is too courageous to do such a thing."

Li Jing smiled and nodded: "It's better not to have such courage, otherwise, how will I deal with the children of those ministers' families?"

With a wave of his hand, Li Jing continued: "You are a sensible child. After your Uncle Gao transferred you from the gendarmerie, you have never done anything beyond your authority. You just do your job well. That's good. Otherwise, You begged me to send you to the front today, and I would say nothing.

But I sent you to the front line just to increase your experience and qualifications, and I didn't expect you to make any contribution, so you must not take any credit from others, even if you have any credit, you must give it up. remember. "

"My son understands that even if my son has no credit at all, they will try their best to promote me because I am your son. This will definitely cause dissatisfaction with others. If my son steals credit from others, it will offend others even more. Don't worry, Dad. , after arriving at the front line, I will only do my job well and build a good relationship with Pao Ze." Li Anguo said hastily.

Li Jing smiled and nodded: "A child can be taught."

After a pause, Li Jing continued: "Besides, when you're in the frontline army, don't waste your homework. I have some books in my study, take them with you when you leave, and read them carefully when you're not doing military affairs."

"Yes!" Li Anguo said hurriedly.

Li Jing smiled, and patted Li Anguo's shoulder lightly: "Okay, let's go and tell your two aunts and younger siblings to come over for dinner."

"Father, let's call Aunt Chen, anyway, her name has already been decided. Auntie Hai has been calling for more than two years." Li Anguo said.

Hearing this, Li Jing sighed softly: "Your Aunt Chen is not much older than you."

Li Anguo smiled and said: "A few years older is also my aunt, even if it is not from you, but from Grandpa Yuan, she is also an aunt."

Li Jing nodded silently: "Okay, then let's call your Aunt Chen together."

Li Anguo got up and saluted Li Jing, then turned and left.

After a while, Xiaodie, Xiaozhu, Chen Yuanyuan, and Li Jing's children came to Shen Ying's room.

"I have seen Mrs. and Mrs." Xiaodie and others saluted.

"The child greets the father and the mother." Li Xingguo and his sister came forward and saluted.

"The family members are all exempt." Li Jing said with a smile.

Pulling his daughter in front of him, Li Jing smiled and kissed his daughter's bright red face.

Then he beckoned to Li Xingguo and said, "Good boy, haven't you fought with anyone these days?"

Li Xingguo hurriedly said: "No, I don't dare to fight with others anymore. I lost the fight last time. My son asked my brother for help. My brother beat me up hard. If he said he couldn't beat him, he would practice his skills before going to fight again. I asked my brother for help." Help shame."

Li Jing couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

He raised his hand and slapped Li Xingguo on the forehead: "Brat, your brother is right. If you can't beat someone, you have to practice your skills before you go to fight. It's not a skill to ask your brother for help. But, even though your brother beat you After a meal, you can deal with those boys who beat you severely when you turn back, your elder brother is quite competent."

"Ah!" Li Xingguo turned his head to look at Li Anguo and said, "Brother, you beat up those boys, why didn't you tell me when you came back?"

Li Anguo smiled and said: "Why tell you, if I tell you, how can you learn your skills? However, those boys are much older than you, and they dare to bully you. Naturally, your brother can't forgive them. If they At the same age as you, your brother can't do anything."

"Hey, thank you big brother." Li Xingguo smiled.

Seeing the harmony between the two sons and brothers, Li Jing couldn't help smiling.

Looking up and seeing Xiaodie holding the child, Li Jing looked sideways, but he was already asleep.

Li Jing sighed softly, knowing that he often came home very late, and went to the office early in the morning to work, and rarely saw the child, so Xiaodie brought the child here to show him.

After thinking about it, Li Jing gave up his seat and beckoned Xiaodie to come and sit down.

"Thank you, master." Xiaodie hurriedly said.

Li Jing shook his head and sighed, "Thank you, I'm not good at being a father!"

After waving his hands, Li Jing continued, "Everyone sit down, it's rare for the whole family to have a meal together, don't be restrained."

"Thank you, master." Xiaozhu and Chen Yuanyuan said hurriedly.

Li Jing shook his head and smiled wryly, knowing that no matter what he said, these people would not dare to be presumptuous, especially Chen Yuanyuan, who dared not look at him in the face.
