"Boy, you look bad."

"It would be nice to be able to come back alive."

Li Xun sighed: "This time I went to Hebei was like having a dream, a nightmare."

"regret?"

"There's nothing to regret."

Li Xun smiled and said, "Many times, even though he knew there was a tiger in the mountain, he would rather go to the tiger mountain. People would not give up easily until the last moment."

At the end of the day, the smile on Li Xun's face had turned into a bitter smile.

This is the mentality of a person. Even if he knows that it is not feasible, he will still do it. He always feels that if he doesn’t try, how can he know that it is not feasible?

You Yuanfeng said: "The defeat in Hebei will probably not have a small impact on the emperor, you must be mentally prepared."

Li Xun said silently: "If I value gains and losses, I will not go."

Li Xun said the truth, and many people have advised themselves not to go to Hebei.

From the perspective of status, Li Xun is already a prime minister. Of course, this is not important. What is important is that the emperor has already become suspicious of him. In the final analysis, Li Xun took on important responsibilities in this battle in Hebei is just for use. Therefore, even if Li Xun wins in Hebei, he will not get any benefits. On the contrary, once he is defeated, the price he pays will probably be unbearable.

You Yuanfeng said: "Some things are gone if they are gone, and they are not necessarily bad things."

Li Xun smiled and said, "Old man, don't worry, I'm not that vulnerable yet. Of course, I don't want to die yet. If I just lose my official position, I really don't care at all."

You Yuanfeng smiled and said meaningfully: "Wu Guan is light, it's easy to say, but it's too difficult to do."

Li Xun was a little confused: "Old man, what do you mean?"

You Yuanfeng said: "As an official career, you can go up step by step. In this process, you cannot be worried at all. People and things, good or bad, will always have some things that will be firmly attached to you."

Li Xun remained silent. You Yuanfeng was telling himself that it was easy to go up, but it would not be so easy to get down, because it was not something you took the initiative to get down, but was pushed down by someone else. Therefore, the hands that pushed you from behind were nothing you could not expect at all.

If you push it lightly, you may fall hard, at most it will be a bloody head. But if you push it hard, it will not be a fall, but will be broken into pieces and will never be restored.

Li Xun sighed and said, "Why is it so difficult to do something?"

"Farming is the easiest, but are you willing to endure this hardship?"

You Yuanfeng sneered: "Boy, don't be too naive in life. Politics is cruel. If you talk about feelings to it, you will only hurt yourself."

Li Xun said seriously: "Why do you need so much selfishness when doing things? Isn't it good to work together?"

After hearing Li Xun's words, You Yuanfeng laughed loudly, laughing a little anxiously, and coughed loudly. Li Xun hurriedly stepped forward and stroked his chest: "Old man, please take it easy."

"No selfishness is the greatest selfishness."

You Yuanfeng said disdainfully: "Some people seek fame, some people love money, some people greedy for power, some people greedy for nothing, then what do you want to be greedy for? Can't you succeed in planning a country?"

Li Xun frowned and said nothing.

You Yuanfeng continued: "The big river has water and the small river is full, the big river has no water, the small river is dry, the emperor is on the same level as you, and you and the people around you are on the same level, this is the situation."

Li Xun said in a stern voice: "I would like to ask my elder brother for advice."

You Yuanfeng said: "In the peaceful and prosperous times, a capable official can have power but no power, because his power is the emperor. However, when the country declines and the imperial power declines, if there is power but no power, it is a puppet. If you have power, you can do what the emperor cannot do. If you cannot do things, the people below you can work together to help you do it."

"What are you trying so hard to repay the current emperor? Isn't it just to repay Emperor Xingzong's kindness to you? Isn't this your selfish intention?"

After hearing You Yuanfeng's words, Li Xun fell into deep thought.

Someone has told Li Xun about these doubts and truths?

Fan Zhongyun said, and he said it a long time ago, but Li Xun at that time couldn't understand and did not think about these things in depth. However, so many years have passed, Li Xun has experienced many things. At this moment, Li Xun is touched by listening to You Yuanfeng's words.

After pondering for a long time, Li Xun sighed: "Emperor Xingzong finally revitalized the country with the assistance of two wise ministers, Liu Jie and Yang Daosi. I want to follow their example, but unfortunately I can't do it."

Unexpectedly, Li Xun's sigh once again attracted You Yuanfeng's laughter: "You said this is a joke."

Li Xun looked at the other party in confusion.

You Yuanfeng sneered and said, "The reason why Xingzong delegated power was because Yang Daosi could suppress it, so Emperor Xingzong had to delegate power. He simply let Yang Daosi and Liu Jie do it. If it works, everyone will live together. If it doesn't work, everyone will die together. This is what I just told you, as long as you have power and power, the prime minister will finally do it."

"A person, whether for the country or for his family, is not enough to have the ability. The most important thing is to have capital. Only with capital can you do what you want. Do you understand?"

Li Xun was deeply shocked by You Yuanfeng's words. The other party's words undoubtedly gave Li Xun a new understanding of the truth of life.

The two men, one old and one young, talked about many topics until You Yuanfeng's face slowly filled with fatigue and sleepiness. Li Xun's eyes turned red and he said softly: "Old man... are you... tired?"

You Yuanfeng said hoarsely: "The emperor is now indifferent and merciless, suspicious and vicious. He is not a good emperor. Li Xun, listen to me, be selfish, live your own life well, and don't hurt your family for a ruthless person. That would be too unworthy."

Li Xun pursed his lips, nodded, and said nothing.

You Yuanfeng's eyes were half closed and his sleepiness became heavier and heavier, but at this moment, he suddenly asked: "I heard that the emperor was suffering from a serious illness and his life was not long. Is it true or false?"

Li Xun said: "This news has been spread for a long time, but I often meet the emperor, and there is nothing unusual. It should be fake."

"What if it's true?"

You Yuanfeng whispered this sentence.

After hearing this, Li Xun was shocked physically and mentally, and thought of many things for a moment...

A moment later, Li Xun woke up from contemplation and looked at You Yuanfeng, and found that the other party had fallen asleep again. This time, he still had a chance to wake up?
