The four of them returned to the cottage, or chatting about the world, or burning incense and tuning the piano, or talking about the past and the present.

Lu Di was with them and had a lot of insights: he felt that life was actually a circle, and most people started from the origin of the circle, and at the end they wanted to meet that point again.

This Dong Wu, Taihe Gong, and Wu Huyong are masters, because they have gone through the bumps and bumps of time and finally come to innocence.

Lu Di really hopes that when he is old, he can be like these three old men, and he can be an "old naughty boy"!

During the banquet, Lu Di did not mention the matter of letting the three old men go out in the Qi country, because he didn't want to interrupt the carefree peace, and he was even more unwilling to disturb the feeling that he was now back in his childhood, the feeling of childhood, that feeling was really good.

The rainy night in the small fishing village is very poetic, and the rain outside the house is not heavy, but it is the best auxiliary music for playing chess.

Listening to the rain dripping outside the house, listening to the rain outside the house hitting the plantains, listening to the occasional dream talk of Taihegong, and knocking on the chess pieces and falling the lanterns, how poetic and picturesque.

Under the lamp, after Lu Di meditated on chess, he snapped, and the situation in black and white on the chessboard suddenly changed.

"Sir, the rivers and mountains of Wu Guo have been shattered, and it is only a matter of time before it is taken by Daqi, but Tu is anxious" Lu Di took another chess piece and prepared for the next step.

It was Wu Huyong who played against Lu Di, and Dong Wu and Taihe Gong had already gone to sleep.

Wu Huyong snapped and said: "The person the monarch is worried about, is it the Chu people?" ”

Lu Di shook his head, then lowered his head, and snapped: "No." ”

Wu Huyong followed closely and ate: "Could it be Princess Tengyu?" ”

Lu Di hesitated, but still shook his head, snapped, and fell on the chessboard: "No." ”

Wu Huyong pinched a son, pondered the chess game for a while, and then said, "Could it be the remnants of King Wu?" ”

Lu Di did not deny it this time, he held the chess in his hand, patrolled on the chessboard for a long time, and then said: "What Mr. said is good, although Tu can use force at any time to wipe out the remnants of Fucha, but the remnants of Wu people's hearts cannot be solved by force, so Tu is anxious."

Wu Huyong heard the words from the chess jar, took another son, snapped, and said: "In the past, Confucius and Lao Tzu discussed under the apricot altar, Lao Tzu said that people's hearts are changeable, and at this time, the clouds are like dragons and they are dogs, as long as the monarch adheres to benevolent government, people's hearts will naturally be aligned."

Lu Di waited for thousands of people to wait for this sentence, he hurriedly stood up after hearing it, bowed down to Wu Huyong and said piously: "I hope that Mr. will be the county guard of Jiangdong County."

Wu Huyong saw this, his body stagnated, his hand holding the chess hung in the air for a long time, snapped, and the last son fell: "Why Jiangdong County, not Wu County?" ”

Lu Di said: "Wu is too big, if it is planned as a county, I am afraid that it will not be able to fall." ”

What Lu Di said is also true, if the entire Wu State is really divided into a county, then the entire territory area of Wu County will not be much less than that of Qi State, which is obviously a failed move in terms of administrative planning.

Lu Di is so smart that he naturally won't do it.

Wu Huyong thought for a long time, and also understood Lu Di's intentions, he said: "Jiangdong County, renamed Wu County."

Lu Di was silent and finally nodded.

The rain outside was falling heavily, and the oil lamps were even weaker.

The next day, Lu Di tested Dong Wu and let Dong Wu come out, Dong Wu looked left to talk about him, Lu Di sighed, and the secret path was as Wu Huyong said, the ambition of this lord is between mountains and rivers.

However, Lu Di still plans to befriend Dong Wu, as Wu Huyong said, although Dong Wu does not live in the court, his protégés are all over the five lakes and three rivers of Wuyue, and they have to be investigated.

Lu Di is a smart person, so he naturally understands what Wu Huyong means, so he treats him like a "father of the nation" to win the heart of Dr. Wu Yueshi, but he thinks in his heart that Dong Wu is unwilling to be an official, and it doesn't matter, but it's really a waste for such a talented big coffee not to take advantage of it.

Why don't you take the rhododendron forest of about 100 acres in the east of this fishing village, let the public class plan and plan another day, build a private school there, hire Dong Wu and Taihe Gong as the elders, and let them teach there, as for the name of the private school?

Azalea Academy? It's so ugly! Oh, by the way, isn't the place of origin of the famous Donglin Party not far from here? Simply, it's called "Donglin Academy".

When Lu Di thought of this, he was even more attentive in serving Dong Wu, which made Dong Wu, who had white longevity eyebrows, feel scared.

In the grass house, Lu Di splashed ink, and was writing hard to write the five big characters of "the people take food as the sky", and the three old men next to him, Wu Huyong, Taihe Gong and Dong Wu, clapped their hands from time to time, and at this time, Zhang Mengtan hurriedly walked in: "Your Excellency, gentlemen, the right minister is urgent."

After that, Zhang Mengtan bowed down a report to Lu Di.

When Lu Di heard this, his mind sank, and he was in a hurry? Is that coming? Ji Ran is the right minister of Qi State, the left minister is the imperial martingale, and the state minister is Wu Zixu.

He hurriedly put down the brush and took the report, and after reading it, his brows furrowed slightly, and it really said that Xiong Zhen wanted to meet with him secretly to discuss Wu Yue.

When the three old men saw Lu Di's appearance, they knew that something big must have happened, so they stopped making noise and stood quietly to the side and watched.

In the afternoon, Lu Di said goodbye to the three people, and the three of them took the old women and children of the township to send Lu Di out of the fishing village.

After the three old men came back to the grassland, Boya came back with the edict and preached: Wu Huyong was given the title of the lord of the great country of Qi, and the prince of Taihe was given the title of the lord of the great country of Qi, and the name of the national chef was given, and a "pot table" was rewarded, and Dong Wu was given the title of the lord of the old man of the Qi country.

Although these titles are all vacant, but the expressions of the three of them are not the same, Taihe Gong doesn't care about the name of the lord of the national scholar and the national chef, what he cares about is the pot, at this time he is excitedly studying the pot?

Standing next to them were Dong Wu and Wu Huyong, two of them, one laughing indifferently, and the other squinting laughing of the old fox.

Taihe Gong seemed to have found something on the pot, and this made him very unhappy, like a perfect egg, suddenly broke a mouth, only to hear him say angrily: "Good pot, what words are engraved?" This Qi Hou is also really! ”

Dong Wu and Wu Huyong took a look, and there was a line of small characters carved vertically on the inconspicuous feet of the pot.

It reads: Min'an, Lu Di's own handwriting, gifted to the great scholar, the national chef, Taihe Gong.

"Pot", Min'an? Haha, something interesting!

Dong Wu looked up to the sky and laughed, his long white eyebrows trembled, like a cheerful thrush.

Wu Huyong also smiled with satisfaction, and said secretly in his heart: The little boy who could only cry back then is now more and more clever!

The place where Lu Di and You Xiong Zhen met was on a flat boat in the middle of the big lake.

The location of the big lake, Lu Di can't say clearly, but the actual situation, speculation should be the Yangcheng Lake of the later generations, of course, he is not sure, after all, the ancient Taihu Lake water system has gone through several vicissitudes in the history of China, and it is not the only one in ancient times.

The flat boat is not big, so the quantifier is a leaf. This Ye Bian Zhou was later praised as "a leaf in the south of the Yangtze River" by the history books, and Zuo Qiu Ming commented in his private book "The Great Empire": A legend through the ages, a leaf in the south of the Yangtze River. The two heroes went to the meeting and demarcated Wu Yue.
