"Brother Xu, what are you thinking? Do you have any ideas?"

Song Mu finally came back to his senses from his self-satisfaction, found something wrong with Li Xu, and asked with a frown.

"No, I just feel that things in the world are impermanent, there are too many variables, and plans often cannot keep up with changes, and thinking too much is not good. It's better to take care of the things in front of you first and then make other plans."

Li Xu restrained his strange smile and replied with a smile.

"A good plan is not as good as change. You are more calm than I imagined. But I am still a little less calm enough when I am old. It turns out that the younger generation is terrifying, and the younger generation is terrifying!"

Seeing that Li Xu did not show the expected joy of his future plan, Song Mu was so calm and happy without being angry, and admired him even more.

Such young people who are not arrogant or impatient are really worth cultivating.

Looking at Song Mu's relieved expression, Li Xu suddenly felt a little moved and said, "Uncle Song, I have a problem that may be a bit abrupt and unaware of whether to talk or not."

Song Mu smiled and said, "There are only you and me in this room, and there is nothing wrong with talking about it. It's okay if you talk about it. It comes from your mouth and I hear it, and no third person knows it."

Li Xu nodded and said, "I would like to ask, if one day, strong enemy troops come to Chang'an City and use the lives of the people in the city as bargaining chips to threaten Uncle Song, you open the city and surrender. And promise you that if you surrender, you can protect the wealth of the Song family. If you do not surrender, then after the city is broken, the Song family will perish with the Qin royal family. What will you choose?"

In the past few months, Li Xu has not clearly discussed these issues since he contacted the core backbone of the Song clan, Liu Jian, Song Yu and even Song Mu. However, he can more or less feel that the Song clan is not the kind of family loyal to the imperial power.

As the saying goes, the country and the world are always the first priority for the family.

Although Li Xu understood the truth, he still wanted to confirm it personally.

Or by asking, we can test some of Song Mu's true thoughts.

Although he had decided to wait until he took control of Qin in the future and let the Song family use it for him, this premise was that the Song family was willing to do so, not forced.

After all, if the Song family finally came to the Qin royal family, then they would not be able to use it in the future.

Upon hearing this, Song Mu's eyes suddenly jumped, staring at Li Xu for a long time, but did not answer immediately.

After Li Xu asked, he waited for his answer calmly, but Song Mu couldn't see what his original intention was to ask this question.

After a while, Song Mu slowly said, "Why did you suddenly ask this question? Don't you know that if this kind of thing is spread, it will definitely cause countless storms."

Li Xu smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Song just thinks it is a whim of a young man. The world has been divided for almost a hundred years, and sooner or later it will be reunited one day. Although this problem is an assumption, it may not happen. It may even happen sooner or later than all of us imagined. Since we have to face it sooner or later, it is a good thing to think about it in advance."

Song Mu nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. Sooner or later, the world will be unified. But during the Warring States Period, Qin could sweep away the Liuhe and unify the world. Why can't the one who unifies the world this time be our Great Qin? If the Great Qin could unify the world, then the problem you mentioned would naturally not happen."

Song Mu did not give a positive answer, but instead bypassed it, and instead asked Li Xu a question.

Li Xu realized that there was an intention of investigation and shook his head and said, "Uncle Song, no secret words are spoken. You are the one who is the Qin State. You should know best whether Qin State has the ability and foundation to unify the world. To be honest, a small rebellion of tall beards will expose the weakness of our Qin State. If the country is not stable, how can we unify the world? Moreover, the Qin State during the Warring States Period is not the Qin State today, and the situation faced by Qin State today is not the six Shandong State that day."

Li Xu said this very rudely, but Song Mu was not at all displeased. After a while, he sighed and said, "I admire you more and more. Although I am young, my vision is more and more brilliant than many people who have lived for most of their lives.

To be honest, the world has been divided for a hundred years, and wars have continued between countries. Countless soldiers died on the battlefield, countless people have been displaced, and the world is full of sorrow. The world is like the Shura hell!

All those who are ambitious with the world and the common people all hope that a wise ruler will be born, able to wipe out all countries and unify the world, so that the people will no longer suffer from war, and scholars can travel around the world safely and smoothly, and merchants can reach all over the world without any obstacles, so that the people will no longer have to worry about their homes being destroyed, and they will be at ease with men and women, and live and work in peace and contentment."

These words sounded high-sounding, but Li Xu heard sincerity from Song Mu's tone.

This should be his truth, not to fool himself.

Song Mu said again: "I am also a scholar. I originally took the teachings of saints as my mission: 'Stand for the people! Keep your unique knowledge for the victory of saints! Bring peace for all ages!' But since I entered the officialdom and the officialdom, I realized that it was difficult to achieve these three sentences. Just the intrigues and conspiracy in the court, the dark wind and rain from all aspects made you tired of dealing with it, and in the end I could only think about the word "protective". Today, although I am the most powerful minister, I still feel like walking on thin ice and trembling.

"Just say that King Yong rebelled this time, if you hadn't turned the tide, I would have been buried deep in the ground at this time, and even a different body and head, carrying the infamy of eternal accusations. Sitting in this position, it looks glorious, but it has also become the target of public criticism. Therefore, if a hero is born and can unify the world, what is my personal honor and disgrace? What is the glory and power of a country and a surname? There is really that day, let alone the prime minister, give me a county magistrate. As long as I can really benefit the people, I will be happy."

Li Xu understood it and felt Song Mu's difficulties and wishes.

Just like every teenager who falls in love with a girl, he will naively think that he will be the one who will accompany him for the rest of his life, but after experiencing a lot, he realized that he was thinking too much at the beginning.

Love is the most useless thing.

When you are in a state of peace and you are not able to make ends meet, you count your days and wait for your salary every month, and calculate how much you can still buy yourself a pair of sneakers you have always wanted to buy after paying back a bunch of bills.

In the end, I was not willing to buy sneakers because I had to send money to my parents at home.

The sweetness of love is just a derivative of life after a prosperous life.

Song Mu was the same. Like many officials, he entered the officialdom with the purpose of loyalty to the army and loving the people. He wanted to benefit the people with passion, but in the end he fell into the officialdom and fed the dogs with his original mission and purpose.

Li Xu looked at Song Mu and nodded.

He knew his answer.
