Chapter 71 Heavenly Fortune (1/2)
Of course, An Zheng was't joking around.
When An Zheng arrived
utside the gates of the Military Ministry, the three people of Dafang agency had already been taken into bags and brought outside of Fanggu city. The three men had already been buried when An Zheng signed the procedure and waited.
Halfway through the road, Du Shoushou asked An Zheng, ””Zhou Wanqian doesn't seem like that kind of man. Why didn't he give him a way out?””
The answer was, ””Zhou Wanqian is even more disgusting than the Gou family, because he knows how to stay and how he should keep on staying. He knew weakness and knew how to save himself. Do you think he was broken by the people of the Gou No, he'd just found the soil for him. He's in good company with me because he wants to be alive. If you say you let him sell his life, he will kneel down and lick your toes. You can check it out carefully and see how much of the bad things that the Gou family does are Zhou Wanli's idea.
””When the authorities convict, they will make the difference between a perpetrator and an accessory,”” said An Zheng. ””In my opinion, there's no reason for evil.””
Du Shoushou didn't quite understand the meaning of An Zheng, but he a.s.sumed it was right as long as it was contended with An Zheng.
It was not the same as thinking about An Zheng. The Yan Country's Military Ministry wasn't very solemn. The entrance was still quite dignified, and the style was that of a yamen with a very rigid look. Only after entering through the door did one find out that there was a heavenly pa.s.sage. There were quite a few of the small lake artificial mountains in the pavilion, and the ones that loved it were in the branches of the small garden in front of the office.
When An Zheng saw this, he couldn't help but nod his head. He couldn't help but feel that he didn't think that the ministry was like this.
The one in charge of receiving the reception was a man about fifty, calling himself Hao Pingan, a member of the Military Ministry, also served as a rank 6 official, but the officials felt that they were more imposing than the local officials. However, there is a very comfortable feeling in the military ministry. That is, we are all soldiers.
This was absolutely different from the other ministry, it was because of the current wars among the sixteen countries.
While they were still in the military ministry of Great Xi, they had a very serious conflict in the ministry. The Great Xi was peaceful. So the soldiers used all their energy even for a small matter. However, it was different in Great Yan. Every year, this place began to wage war, and every day, the border would be fighting.
Therefore, the people who entered the military ministry this year might be familiar with it. In the blink of an eye, they would be transferred to the border to replenish the past, and then they would soon die. So the people here have a kind of awareness... No one knows which day they die, and everyone in the division might be the ones who stand behind him to protect themselves. There were only one missing side.
Even if he were to plot against others, death would be much important.
Regardless of age, people here understood the relations.h.i.+p between death and trust more than the other yamen's.
Hao Pingan sat in the pavilion in the garden of the front yard with An Zheng. He smiled and said, ””I was planning to let you wait in the house for a while, but the adults are all in a meeting. Soon after, we will select a batch of people to supplement the Southeast Border, and the war with You is getting more and more difficult. So I don't know when this time will end, and the room is so oppressed, why don't you sit outside? ””
An Zheng said, ””Haven't we had a big war with You for a long time?””
Hao Pingan said, ””There is no war, but the war has never stopped. In a sense, the State of Zhao and our Yan are brothers, at the very least, they aren't in a hurry to tear their faces away. And Zhuo country is between us and Zhao, so they can only obey. But in the southeast side, the countries of You, Yong and Ba were united, wanting to advance to the north. They don't dare to go south becauseof Xi, so they have to invade the northern region. ””
””What do you mean big war?””
Hao Pingan asked.
An Zheng didn't answer. Hao Pingan himself gave an answer, ””In the military ministry, the definition of big war is like this … within a single battle, more than 5,000 died. Do you know how many people we die every day on the Southeast Border? Not less than three hundred a day. Therefore, we don't even know each other in many of the border cities. ””
An Zheng said nothing, he had been through a lot of things in the Great Xi, but never experienced such a brutal war. The Great Xi was too big, so big that no one dared to provoke him. In addition, Xi was still squeezing out the small countries in the surrounding area. To the Great Xi, these small countries were nutritious, and they were squeezing out a little everyday.
Therefore, it was very clear that the battle between the sixteen countries had something to do with the Great Xi.
Hao Pingan smiled and said, ””You may not be familiar with this atmosphere. After all, you came from the border city of Zhao. We didn't have any conflicts with Zhao. It would be better if I got used to it later. Don't worry too much. It may be a long time for the meeting today, because we need to know who sent them to the Great Xi. ””
He suddenly asked, ””What do you think of Great Xi?””
An Zheng replied, ””Great Xi... It's a large part of the reason for the war in the Sixteen Countries. Although the surrounding small countries couldn't possibly have any effect on the Great Xi, the Great Xi would never allow these small countries to be rich and powerful. It was constantly putting pressure on the surrounding countries to attack each other. Xi pressed close to their small country. These small countries had to attack small countries a little further from the Great Xi to survive.
””In this way, the small countries will be depleted of the nation's power during the ongoing war. People, wealth, and loss were huge. However, the Great Xi did not allow these small countries to be easily destroyed, not allowing them to swallow each other up. Although in the eyes of the Great Xi, these small countries were only ants, but Xi didn't even allow a stronger ant to appear.
Hao Pingan's eyes lit up. ””There are too few people as young as you who are so perceptive. It's really too little. Most of the young men in the military ministry were admiring the Great Xi. They believed that it was the true power. When the wars in the surrounding countries came to an end, the Great Xi sent envoys to mediate. The war will stop because of Xi's intervention. They believe that this is the work of Xi. ””
