"You're going to the capital? Why?"

Chen Jiahui was a little disapproving, feeling that Fang Xing was acting rashly.

Fang Xing smiled dryly, and euphemistically said that the emperor's casual words made his family rush to the capital.

Ma Shi and Chen Ling were a little stunned, they didn't expect Fang Xing to get the emperor's 'blue eyes'.

Only Chen Jiahui immediately thought of something, he asked: "But it has something to do with that?"

It was Zhu Zhanji who said this, Fang Xing nodded, and Chen Jiahui sighed: "It's not easy to live in the capital, but the sacred order is hard to violate, hey!"

Chen Jiahui was worried that Fang Xing would be involved in the struggle for the heir apparent. In his opinion, Fang Xing's confrontation with King Han and King Zhao was nothing more than a knife and a fish.

"Father, how about I go to the Imperial College to study in the spring?"

Only Chen Xiao was still eager to meet Fang Xing in the capital, and did not see the worry on Chen Jiahui's eyebrows at all.

The next meal was a bit boring. After the meal, Chen Jiahui, who didn't go to pay New Year's greetings, took Fang Xing to the study room, and told him about the relationship and strength.

Back home, seeing Xiao Bai sneaking out of the kitchen, Fang Xing quietly approached from behind, and slapped her on the shoulder fiercely.

"ah!"

Suddenly a chicken leg flew up in the air, amidst Xiao Bai's screams, Fang Xing reached out and grabbed the chicken leg, biting off most of it in one bite.

"Master!"

Xiao Bai managed to get this chicken leg from Hua Niang's strict defense, but Fang Xing cut off his beard when he came out, and rushed over to fight for it in anger.

Fang Xing quickly ate the chicken leg, while Xiao Bai pouted unconvincedly, he stretched out his right hand from behind, stuffed something into her small mouth, and then walked into the backyard laughing.

"Less... hmm?"

Xiaobai's eyebrows gradually stretched, and then he felt the sweetness and silkiness between his lips and tongue with a wide smile.

...

Chinese New Year is very happy, but happy days always pass quickly.

The smoke from the firecrackers seemed to have not dissipated, and the Fangjiazhuang was full of people screaming and screaming.

Fang Xing stood outside the door, looking at the carriages full of people, and explained to Fang Derong who stayed behind: "If there is something that cannot be resolved, the first thing is to go to Chen Xiao's father, and the second thing is to write to me right away, you understand?"

Fang Derong's temperament is relatively stable, he nodded and said: "Please rest assured, young master, I will be optimistic about this family business."

"very good!"

Fang Xing turned his head to look at the farmers who were looking at him with trusting eyes, feeling proud.

"Let's go!"

In the snow, a carriage disappeared into the gloomy sky.

...

This is always the case with long-distance travel. At the beginning, the freshness prevails, and people don't feel tired easily.

But when the scenery outside became the same, the convoy gradually fell silent. Only the energetic boys were shouting, jumping out of the car from time to time, chasing the game on the side of the convoy until they were ordered back by the adults or the guards on horseback.

In Beiping Mansion, a letter was sent out of the city gate by a fast horse.

Standing on the edge of the Grand Canal in Hejian Mansion, Fang Xing seemed to see Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty in a dragon boat, patrolling both sides of the river.

"After the death of the Sui Dynasty, this river has been used for thousands of miles to this day. If there is no dragon boat event in the water palace, Gong Yu's merits will not be much."

Standing by the side, Ma Su couldn't help but recite this poem for Yang Guang's redress.

"Teacher, according to history, Emperor Sui Yang was eager for quick success. The Grand Canal and the three expeditions to Goguryeo ruined the Sui Dynasty, but why did Emperor Sui Yang be so hasty?"

Jia Quan led two of his men to fetch water from the upper reaches. Hearing this, he laughed lowly and said, "This Ma Su is really serious. Emperor Sui Yang was famous for being cruel, and he liked to play with women. He probably felt that the women in China were tired of playing with them.

I want to find a beautiful woman in Goguryeo. "

As Zhu Zhanji's guard, Jia Quan usually comes into contact with well-educated people, or powerful figures. So after being told by Zhu Zhanji to escort Fang Xing to the capital, he was a little unhappy.

"I haven't had a good year!"

Both subordinates were trained by Fang Xing in Fangjiazhuang, so their voices were lowered a lot.

A gust of wind blew across the river, causing Fang Xing's clothes to flutter. He pointed to the north and said, "You have to look at things from the historical background at that time. The power of powerful families back then had actually shaken the rule of the Sui Dynasty. Emperor Yangdi built the Grand Canal for nothing more than to connect the north and the south and weaken the influence of the powerful families."

"As for the three campaigns to Goguryeo..."

Fang Xing remembered the heads of the Sui soldiers piled up in Beijing, and sneered: "As the so-called history is just a little girl who can be dressed up by others, in order to ensure her own legitimacy and legitimacy, the Li family of the former Tang Dynasty is not only a far-fetched girl. Those attached to the meeting said that their ancestors were the old man Li Er, and they also called Emperor Sui Yang's three conquests of Goguryeo a militarism."

"But you should know that Li Shimin and Li Zhi both conquered Korea, why?"

Jia Quan and the others stopped fetching water and listened intently to the question and answer of the master and apprentice.

After Fang Xing's all-round education, Ma Su was no longer that dull scholar. After a little thought, he replied: "Teacher, from the perspective of the terrain, Goguryeo at that time was a great threat to the north of the Sui Dynasty. This threat, if there is a war with the grassland aliens, Goguryeo may stab the knife from the back at any time."

It turns out that a scholar knows the truth of the world without going out!

Jia Quan felt that he had underestimated scholars in the past, but what he didn't expect was that Ma Su was an outlier, a different kind of scholar cultivated by Fang Xing with similar modern education methods.

Fang Xing nodded approvingly and said: "It's good that you can think of these things, but there is one more thing to pay attention to, that is beside the couch, other people can sleep soundly."

As soon as Jia Quan rolled his eyes, he shouted: "But Koryo is my Ming Dynasty's unconquered country!"

As soon as Ma Su heard this, he immediately answered the teacher's question.

"Goguryeo and Goryeo are two different things."

Jia Quan said in disbelief, "Why are they two different things? I heard from those scholars in Goryeo that Goguryeo is the predecessor of Goryeo!"

"Gaoguryeo was destroyed in the former Tang Dynasty, and the whole territory was our territory. It was not until more than two hundred years later that Baekje and Silla, which were on the edge of Goguryeo, merged into the current Goryeo. It's not the same thing!"

The sunset glows on the Grand Canal, as if there are thousands of golden snakes jumping on the river.

Fang Xing listened with a smile, remembering that the Koreans would encourage the northern part of China to belong to them in the future, and what archaeological discoveries they had made for this. In the end, those Koreans tied cloth strips with the words "Return my rivers and mountains" on their heads, and marched and demonstrated in JL and other places in China.

Fang Xing turned around and said loudly: "There is no country that cannot be conquered, there are only those that need to be conquered. I believe Emperor Taizu Gao also had the same idea."

At this time, the country of Wa was also included in the list of countries not to be conquered, but before long, hordes of Japanese pirates appeared on the southern sea, just like a sore on Daming's body. Upsetting.
