Chapter 577: Ask yourself about your true intentions
Chen Liqiu also knew that he was in trouble, but he did not want to go to Luoyang to invite Zhang Mo. "It is okay to go to Luoyang, but how can I speak after I go? What's more, even if I invite Zhang Mo, what can she do?"
"She must be invited," Li Zhongyong said sternly, "Lao Wu's mood is extremely low, which is not unrelated to the accident he suffered in Silla, but it is not the main reason. Lao Wu had been seriously injured many times before.
I have never seen him in such a low mood."
"What caused it?" Chen Liqiu asked.
"I don't know," Li Zhongyong shook his head and said, "But I obviously feel that he is exhausted physically and mentally, and he desperately wants to be freed. However, whether it is the people's livelihood or the war against Japan, it is unlikely to be reversed or ended in a short time. He
The eagerness in his heart will inevitably lead him to take risks in many things to come, taking risks in pursuit of speed."
"Everything has a reason," Chen Liqiu said. "Could it be that when he came back this time, the emperor said something to him that he shouldn't have said?"
"Probably not," Li Zhongyong shook his head, "The emperor relies on him very much, and it is impossible to talk nonsense to him."
"It can't really be because of those words I said before," Chen Liqiu said. "What I said is indeed the truth. There is no one who will not die in a war."
"What you said is indeed the truth, but you shouldn't say it," Li Zhongyong said. "Lao Wu is under too much pressure. We should help him reduce his burden instead of adding to his burden."
"Okay, I'll go to Luoyang," Chen Liqiu said, "It's true for Zhang Mo, the fifth child has become like this, and she is not around to take care of him. Hey, the second child, do you think the fifth child will be like this?
Is this what makes you feel bad?"
Li Zhongyong nodded and said, "It's possible, but I feel that this is not the main reason. Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. You can leave early and go back early."
Chen Liqiu nodded, looked around for no one, then jumped up, spawning wind and thunder wings in the air, and flew southeast quickly.
He didn't like the feeling of being drunk, but he had never activated his spiritual energy to dissolve the hangover. He also found that his mood was not right, so he decided to use the power of alcohol to have a good sleep, and maybe his mood would feel better after he woke up.
At the fourth watch, he woke up, although he really hoped that he would be full of energy after waking up.
He was full and refreshed, but contrary to expectations, he was still in a gloomy mood after waking up. There was really nothing to be happy about, and there was still a lot of trouble waiting for him.
Just when he was closing his eyes and thinking about what he should say to Tongchen after going to Shaolin Temple, footsteps suddenly came from outside. He could hear Zhang Mo's footsteps, but he thought Zhang Mo shouldn't appear, but he listened carefully.
Listen, it looks like it’s really Zhang Mo.
After putting on his clothes and shoes, he went down to the ground and opened the door. Zhang Mo happened to arrive at the door.
"Why are you here?" What a surprise.
"I'm still worried about you," Zhang Mo stepped into the door, "How is your injury? Are you feeling better?"
Hearing Zhang Mo's words, my heart felt warm, "I'm fine, I'm not a child, this little injury is nothing."
Zhang Mo put his luggage on the bedside and walked to the table to pour water. "When I came in just now, I happened to see your two senior brothers going out. They said they were going to the Ministry of Revenue for business."
"Oh, yes, they have been helping the imperial court raise money recently," he said. "They found some gold and silver a few days ago, and they should have shipped it to the Ministry of Revenue this morning."
Zhang Mo put down the water glass after drinking water, "Zhu Quanzhong was seriously injured in the previous battle and will not have the strength to fight again in a short period of time. I am coming here to stay for a few more days."
Hearing Zhang Mo's words, he felt a little better, "What a coincidence, you came at the wrong time. I am planning to leave today, first to the Shaolin Temple, and then to Gupo Mountain in Lingnan."
"I'll go with you." Zhang Mo said.
I didn't expect Zhang Mo to appear suddenly, and for a moment I wasn't sure whether it was appropriate for Zhang Mo to go with me. "Why didn't you ask me what I was doing at Shaolin Temple and Gupo Mountain?"
"Your two senior brothers briefly spoke to me from the door," Zhang Mo said casually.
Zhang Mo was so busy that he didn't have breakfast, so he asked, "What do you want to eat? I'll ask the kitchen to cook it for you."
"Anything is fine," Zhang Mo said, "How about we stop eating at home and go for a walk on the street."
"Okay." He nodded.
"Quickly, get dressed." Zhang Mo urged with a smile.
Hearing Zhang Mo's words, he hurriedly dressed up, while Zhang Mo took the opportunity to freshen up.
After a while, the two of them packed up, went out together, and walked slowly westward.
"How are you feeling lately?" Zhang Mo asked casually.
"Alright." replied.
It was the time to go to court. When an official who was going to go to court saw the two men, he hurriedly ordered the bearers to get off the sedan chair, then hurriedly got off the sedan chair and bowed to the two men.
After the other party got on the sedan and left, Zhang Mo asked casually, "Who is this person?"
"A minister from the Ministry of Industry." said.
"Everyone is going to court, why don't you go?" Zhang Mo asked with a smile.
"I don't want to go." He smiled.
Zhang Mo smiled and said, "I am so unorganized in the temple."
He smiled and didn't answer.
The palace is located in the east city, and not far to the east is the palace. Many officials from the previous dynasty walked this way. When they saw Zhang Mo, the officials greeted him one after another.
"The emperor is going to Luoyang in person to reward the three armies. Have you received the news?" he asked.
"The official document from the Ministry of War arrived yesterday afternoon." Zhang Mo replied.
"The current emperor is still a wise king." He said.
Zhang Mo nodded and said, "Only a wise king will have loyal ministers. If this person had adopted the eunuch's advice and tried to include me in the harem, I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty would have died long ago."
"Not necessarily." He said casually.
"You see," Zhang Mo said sternly, "if he really did that, you would definitely be incompatible with him. You would no longer care about the country, the country, or the suffering of the people."
"I am so narrow-minded,
Do you only have personal love between your children and no suffering among the people?" he asked with a smile.
"This is not narrow-mindedness, but a clear distinction between grudges and grudges," Zhang Mo said. "You won't repay kindness with hatred, but you also won't pride yourself on being noble and repay kindness with kindness for no reason."
After Zhang Mo finished speaking, he smiled and said, "You are right. In fact, I have no interest in glory, wealth, and high status. The reason why I work hard for the Tang Dynasty is mainly because of the emperor's imperial decree granting marriage. If it were not for that
According to the imperial edict, you are still my uncle to this day."
"We do owe him a favor for this matter." Zhang Mo nodded.
Chang'an is very prosperous, and stalls selling breakfast can be seen everywhere in the summer morning. While they were talking, they came to a snack street and wanted to pick a place to sit down, but Zhang Mo just wanted to walk forward.
Unknowingly, the two of them came to the Baoqing Inn in the west of the city. He had stayed here when he first came to Chang'an. However, because the Baoqing Inn was located in the west city, he had never been there in recent years.
I have a lot of emotions in my heart when I revisit my old place. Looking back on the past, I can still remember it vividly.
Seeing the two people arriving, the owner Li Zongyuan was overjoyed and came out to greet them personally and carefully prepared the meal.
The two of them had distinguished status, so the owner would not let them sit in the lobby. Instead, he invited them to the room where they had lived before. Since they had lived there before, this room had become more popular and was used exclusively by the inn to entertain distinguished guests.
The decoration in the room is still the same as before, without any change. The food is exquisite and sumptuous, but his appetite is average. After coming here, he has been thinking about one thing. As the saying goes, you can always succeed if you never forget your original intention. What he recalled was that time
The state of mind is thinking about one’s original intention.
Seeing that he was distracted, Zhang Mo asked casually, seemingly unintentionally, "I have never asked you, what is your greatest wish?"
"I don't seem to have any wishes," he shook his head and said, "I have nothing, so how can I have any wishes?"
"There must be, think about it carefully." Zhang Mo smiled and served the soup.
