Gao Hao had already expected Gao Qiu's question.
Gao Hao smiled lightly. He picked up the teapot in the room and poured a cup of tea for Gao Qiu.
When the cup of tea was gradually filled, Gao Hao said softly,"From the moment I knew I was through... After my father went to Shaolin Temple and returned empty-handed and was looked down upon by those bald donkeys, I began to study alchemy. After all, sometimes, it's better to rely on yourself than on others.”
An ordinary person might only be able to hear the literal meaning of Gao Hao's words, but Gao Qiu was able to hear another layer of meaning.
"Is it better to rely on yourself than others?"
Gao Qiu was silent for a moment before he continued to ask,""Then why did my son act like that in the past?”
Gao Hao smiled." In the past, although my father was a powerful minister, he was not the only one. Didn't those people want to see me like this? Now that my father is in the imperial court, I naturally don't have to put on such an appearance for others to see.”
When he heard this, Gao Qiu's hand, which was holding the teacup, could not help but tremble.
It was not that Gao Qiu had never thought that the reason why Gao Hao was so different before and after was that he might have been faking his good-for-nothing appearance.
However, Gao Qiu still did not understand why Gao Hao would do this to him.
Only now did he understand that everything was because of him.
Before becoming a Grand Commandant, Gao Qiu had not had a smooth journey in the court. He still had enemies.
Gao Qiu's power was growing, and if Gao Hao wasn't as useless as he appeared to be, not to mention his other opponents, even the current Emperor of Great Song might not be able to tolerate Gao Qiu's dominance.
Even the Emperor of the Great Song had thought that Gao Qiu's son would be useless even though he had gained power. He would not have a successor and was not worth worrying about.
After understanding the reason, Gao Qiu could not help but sigh in his heart. After a while, he said with a trembling voice,""It's been hard on you."
Gao Hao smiled." It's okay. It looks pretty good."”
Gao Qiu was stunned when he heard Gao Hao's meaningful words. Soon after, he understood what he meant. He nodded and smiled."It's pretty good."
After a pause, Gao Qiu suddenly said,""I wonder if this child has been observing state affairs? How is Great Song now?"
Gao Hao was stunned for a moment. He pondered for a moment and shook his head."Wind and rain, enemies everywhere."
"Why?" Gao Qiu asked without changing his expression.”
Gao Hao smiled in his heart. Was this a test? However, he said calmly," Everyone knows that the Great Song is rich. Although the situation of the various countries seems to be stable, it's just a mirage. With a light touch, the peace on the surface will disappear without a trace.”
Gao Hao paused for a moment before continuing," As for the Great Song, we are in the same situation as many other countries. Furthermore, our military strength is weak, so we are naturally the most dangerous. Not only is the Liao Kingdom eyeing us covetously, but the Great Ming Kingdom, the Great Yuan Kingdom, and the Great Sui Kingdom are also eyeing our wealth. Once the war starts, the Great Song will definitely be the first to bear the brunt and become the target of everyone.”
In this world, the Great Song was located in the south. The weather was warm and the map was rich. Who would not have thoughts about such a place?
"Moreover, according to my deductions, in a few years, the entire world will be in turmoil.”In the end, Gao Hao hesitated for a moment before saying this sentence.
If it was before, Gao Qiu would still be able to maintain his calm expression. He would even nod occasionally when Gao Hao spoke, praising him in his heart.
However, Gao Qiu's expression changed when he heard this." Why do you say that?”。
"Originally, the stability of the various countries was due to mutual checks and balance. Whether it was the Great Ming Country, the Great Yuan Country, the Great Liao Country, or the Great Sui Country, when they attacked the Great Song, they had to consider the other three countries to prevent the other three countries from reaping the benefits.
But now, as far as I know, the Liao Dao Sect's Yelu Baoji is addicted to wine and sex. The Liao Dynasty is already a skeleton in the coffin, and the Great Sui's Yang Guang's power is also decreasing. On the contrary, his Yuwen Huaji and Taiyuan Li Yuan's two factions are growing stronger. I also heard that Li Yuan is currently recruiting soldiers and horses. I think he has already developed a rebellious heart.
Now that the Liao and Sui Kingdoms have weakened, the Great Ming and Da Yuan Kingdoms are thriving. If these two countries take advantage of the internal strife in the Great Sui Kingdom and the twilight of the Liao Kingdom to reach an agreement to send troops to the Great Song, then facing two or even three enemies at the same time, the Great Song will be in danger.”
During this period of time, Gao Hao would occasionally take some time to read some books in this world.
However, the more he understood, the more he understood the current situation of the various countries.
In addition, Gao Hao knew many things that Gao Qiu and the others didn't, so he was naturally more aware of the current situation in the Great Song Country.
Therefore, Gao Hao's expression was extremely solemn when he said this.
How could Gao Qiu not know what Gao Hao was talking about? It was just that Gao Qiu did not think in the same direction. Now that Gao Hao had analyzed the situation thoroughly, Gao Qiu was shocked!
This was indeed the situation in Great Song!
Gao Hao sighed in his heart when he saw Gao Qiu's expression.
Gao Qiu and Gao Hao's superior lives were due to Gao Qiu's status in the Great Song.
However, once the capital of Great Song was gone, there was no need to talk about status.
But now that he knew about it in advance and had ample time to prepare, the situation was naturally different.
After digesting everything Gao Hao said, Gao Qiu pondered for a long time before he finally said slowly,""Father understands."
After saying that, he smiled." I didn't expect to really get to know my son today. It's really good!"
Gao Hao smiled. He had said what he needed to say, and there was nothing else for him to do.
Gao Hao raised his head and said casually as usual,""Then I'll go out?"
"Go!" Gao Qiu smiled and nodded. He looked at Gao Hao with doting eyes.
After Gao Hao walked out of the door, Gao Qiu waved his hand.
" Grand Commandant!" A figure suddenly appeared in front of Gao Qiu. He knelt on one knee silently.
"We can also get rid of those hidden spies in the residence. Order all the servants in the residence to kill anyone who dares to spread the news about the residence without permission.”
At this moment, Gao Qiu's face was no longer as doting and kind as it was when he faced Gao Hao. There was only coldness and gloominess, as well as a dense killing intent.
"Yes, sir!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was no one in front of Gao Qiu.
Gazing at the direction where Gao Hao had left, Gao Qiu smiled and said,""With a son like this, what worries does father have?”
After that, Gao Qiu slowly left with his hands behind his back. However, there was still a smile on his face.
