To Rule in a Turbulent World

In autumn, the sky is as clean as if washed by water.The field has been harvested, leaving a mottled and withered land, and the birds fly to the sky in groups.

In the past, when traveling far away, the whole villa greeted and hugged to see them off, but now there are only a few people, and You Miao is not used to it.Qiao Jue came up and hugged You Miao, the two were relatively silent.

Li Yifeng drove, You Miao got into the car and left.

In the entire villa, even the entire Yangzhou, and the entire Southern Dynasty, no one knew that there was such a small car that took a person like You Miao on the journey to the Northland.

One enlisted in the army, one coach, two cart horses, and one chariot.You Miao thought it was funny even thinking about it, if they could successfully overthrow Da'an this time, then their actions would be enough to go down in history.

Originally, he could have stood in the court and become the political counselor of Tianqi, under one person, above ten thousand, turning his hands into clouds, turning his hands into rain, fighting his political opponents confidently, persuading Zhao Chao, and implementing their ideas national policy.

Even You Miao herself never expected that she would embark on such a strange path that ran counter to what she had originally imagined.

Li Zhifeng was driving the car in front, You Miao rolled up the curtain of the car, shrunk into the brocade robe, the autumn wind still felt a bit bleak.

Li Zhifeng said: "What are you thinking?"

You Miao shook her head and laughed at herself, "I don't know."

His mood was indeed very, very complicated. After so many years of wandering, Tatar, He Motie'er and him, as well as the entire Central Plains, were sworn feuds.On the way to the north this time, You Miao's mood was very calm, and she didn't feel that she was burdened with a heavy responsibility. She didn't feel that she had a heavy burden to avenge her hatred.

It seemed like he was just going north to see an old enemy who was dying but could still fight, and thought of sending him another way.

You Miao said what she was thinking, and asked Li Zhifeng: "What about you? What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking about my elder brother." Li Zhifeng said leisurely, pulling the reins in his hand, the horses stopped, making way for the carts delivering the rations.

"If big brother didn't exile me in such an extreme way." Li Zhifeng said: "Now, maybe I wouldn't be in trouble with him."

You Miao sighed: "He can't do anything."

People at the fork in the road ahead, seeing that it was You's car, shouted one after another: "Master You, please pass first!"

"Come on!" Li Zhifeng shouted.

The car escorting the rations left, and Li Zhifeng started off with a whip, saying, "From the bottom of my heart, the third child probably doesn't want to kill his elder brother either."

"Hmm." You Miao didn't think about it, and asked Zhao Chao's thoughts before, but what's the use of that?

"The relationship between your eldest brother and He Motie'er." You Miao said, "Although what Lin Ke said is a rumor, it may not be certain, but I always think it is very likely to happen."

Li Zhifeng said: "Is it because of the prince?"

You Miao nodded.

Daleke and He Motie'er had already formed an alliance before this, but it could only be regarded as a very unstable alliance at best.

It can be seen from He Motie'er's initial attitude towards Li Zhifeng.Second, the act of rescuing the prince from Daleko and sending someone to escort him to Japan can also be proved from the side.

Neither of these two people wants to trust the other completely.This kind of covenant is the most unstable and the easiest to break, which is where You Miao's confidence comes from.

"My elder brother is very smart." Li Zhifeng said, "But occasionally he gets confused."

You Miao said: "In what respect?"

Li Zhifeng turned his head, glanced at You Miao, and said, "The affection is too deep."

You Miao said with a smile: "You two brothers are like this."

Li Zhifeng remained silent, smiled and shook his head.

You Miao sat forward a little, grabbed Li Zhifeng's back, leaned on him, and said, "Maybe your father is also like this."

Li Zhifeng hummed, and murmured: "It's good or bad to use too much affection."

You Miao said, "What about me?"

Li Zhifeng glanced at You Miao, and frowned slightly, unable to comment.

Finally, he said: "It's good that you are like this. Don't trust people easily, and don't doubt people easily."

You Miao said, "I'm still a businessman at heart."

Suddenly, You Miao vaguely understood something, he is a businessman—a businessman who specializes in business and speculation.So after he became an official, he also looked at the court according to the way of a businessman. Although he was supported by a hundred schools of thought such as Confucianism, Taoism, ink and soldiers, and allowed him to turn around the court without falling, every time it came to the most critical moment , he will always measure a thing, a country, or even the whole world with the eyes of a businessman.

Is this good or bad?

It may not be good for a country's political adviser to be a merchant.But only businessmen can weigh the trade-offs, knowing that the people are struggling to make ends meet, knowing that there is no money, no food, no clothing, food, housing and transportation, there is no way to rule the world.

So maybe it is still like what Li Zhifeng said, "You are fine like this".

You Miao smiled, Li Zhifeng was very relaxed, driving the car with his whip, without any psychological burden at all.

You Miao said: "When you go to Da'an, you have to control yourself and don't be too impulsive."

Li Zhifeng said: "No, it's good to go anywhere with you."

Only then did You Miao feel relieved, nodded, and Li Zhifeng said again: "I have learned a lot during the days with you. There are some things that I never thought about before."

"It's tiring to think too much." You Miao sighed: "I'm exhausted, and I don't have a good day. My biggest wish in this life is that one day, I don't have to think about things."

Li Zhifeng smiled, put his arms around You Miao's waist, and let him sit beside him, the two people turned the carriage and got off Anlu, and saw the caravan gathered on the other side of the river.

After crossing the river, it is the boundary of Liuzhou.

"Master Fang!" shouted from afar.

Before You Miao could react for a while, Li Zhifeng said, "I'm calling you."

It was only then that You Miao remembered that she had removed her surname and took the middle one as Fang, and hurriedly agreed loudly.

You Miao took Li Zhifeng over, and Lin Ke nodded to them.

"The goods are all here." Lin Ke said with a smile: "Forgive me, Master Fang, this journey is not easy. It's too late to give up the idea at this time."

Li Zhifeng's face changed, but You Miao smiled and said: "Naturally, it's natural. If you come here, there is no reason to turn back. Along the way, I still rely on Brother Lin to take care of me."

You Miao took La Linke's hand, and slipped a piece of silver into it. Lin Ke was startled, and then smiled.

"This way." Lin Ke said, "This car belongs to both of you."

You Miao glanced at it and felt very satisfied. The businessmen around were talking about it. Li Zhifeng's face was gloomy and he didn't greet them.
