Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 401 Little Cleverness and Great Wisdom

During the Chinese New Year, the dishes are especially rich.Four cold dishes were served: fried mung bean sprouts, scrambled eggs with ground vegetables, tofu with shallots and cold spinach vermicelli.Four hot dishes: braised mutton, roasted chicken with chestnuts, steamed pork ribs and sliced ​​pork with soup.After the meal, there is also a white fungus and lotus seed soup.

Wang Xiaolie likes good food, but he is not picky.The requirements for food are seasonal, fresh, clean, and suitable collocation, and the finished dishes must be delicious.I don't like rare food, and I don't like to eat game. Generally, the cooking process is not very complicated.

After drinking for three rounds, the three of them got a little hot, and the topic gradually diverged.

Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Wang Xiao said: "In the past year, I have asked all over the country to collect the people and things that resisted desperately when the gold captives committed crimes in the south. Some want to erect monuments and temples, some want to give rewards, or take care of their lives. Family members. There are a lot of collections. But when it comes to rewarding them, there are many people who disagree, which is annoying.”

Li Yanxian said: "There are still people who will object to this kind of thing? The punishment should be severely punished!"

Wang Xiaolie smiled wryly and shook his head: "Jinglue, those who oppose have reasons for opposing, how can heavy punishment be enough?"

Li Yanxian didn't believe it.Wang Xiaolie said: "To be honest, among the people who have been sorted out, there are naturally those who are loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and they have always been convinced by the neighbors. But there are still some who usually bully and dominate the market, or beat people to rob, or even There is no evil. When the Jin captives were killed, the officials and gentry fled. Instead, these ordinary idlers rose up to fight against the Jin people. Do you think it is not unusual for some people to object to the commemoration of these people? Not only are the officials opposed, but many people also disagree."

After hearing this, Li Yanxian couldn't help opening his mouth.After a while, he said, "Is there such a thing?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Why not? Jinglue, when you were young, you weren't an obedient boy in the eyes of your neighbors, were you?"

Li Yanxian nodded with a wry smile: "When I was young, I admired heroic stories and made friends with heroes, of course not."

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "Exactly. A few days ago when Wei Yang attacked Lintong, Shen Zun, the county magistrate, took the initiative to offer the city. When he offered the city, he ordered his concubine Yu Nu to sing in it to stabilize the Jin army. Our army took the opportunity Going up the city. When the city was broken, the jade slave died tragically together with her father. According to Wei Yang, when Shen Zun left, the jade slave already knew what was going to happen. But she knew whether to lead the imperial army into the city or take the initiative Go to hell. Her father still had a smile on his face after he died. How should I say this kind of thing?"

Li Yanxian said: "People have different identities, and they each do their own thing well. What can we say?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Shen Zun offered the city with someone else's life. And from the beginning to the end, he didn't reveal a word to Yu Nu. If he was an ordinary person, what should he think? The world is in chaos, and to save the world, naturally one has to pay Are the people the price?"

Seeing that Li Yanxian did not speak.Wang Xiaolie drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and chewed the mung bean sprouts in his mouth with a chopstick.

Among all the dishes, Wang Xiaolie likes to eat mung bean sprouts the most.This dish is simple, no matter the climate or geography, it can be served anytime, anywhere.The method is also simple. It can be boiled and then cold, or it can be fried. It is the same fragrance and delicious.

After a while, Wang Xiaolie asked Wang Ruohai: "What do you think of the councilor?"

Wang Ruohai sighed: "Inquiry into this matter carefully, Shen Zun has a lot of mistakes. Although dedicating the city is a great achievement, but he is a bit cruel. Yu Niang is his concubine, things can be done without being so heartless."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Yu Niang is just a teenage girl. If you talk too much, isn't Shen Zun afraid that he will leak the word?"

Wang Ruohai smiled wryly: "Then I can only blame my own bad luck."

Wang Xiaolie said: "But from our point of view, without Shen Zun offering the city, this battle would not have been so smooth, and many more lives would have been lost. Is it not just Shen Zun's life that is suffering? Wouldn't the life of those who died in the battle be even more miserable!"

Wang Ruohai sighed, not knowing what to say.

Wang Xiaolie said: "This story, if you want to have an ending acceptable to everyone, you should obey everything. Even if you sacrificed the city, you made many mistakes and omissions. In the end, you made a big mistake and were killed to pay for Yuniang's life. But But it's not! Shen Zun is smart and capable. After dedicating the city, he wholeheartedly worked for our army. Even Wei Yang took over Jingzhao Mansion and entrusted him with many things."

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaolie looked up at the stars in the sky and didn't speak for a long time.Finally, he picked up the glass and drank it down again.After putting down the wine glass, Wang Xiaolie said to the two of them: "To tell you the truth, I plan to let Shen Zun's family withdraw with Wei Yang to the south and reuse them after they arrive in Xiangyang. Ever since Wei Yang occupied Jingzhao Mansion, Shen Zun has been very measured and arranged Appropriate. Over the years, whether it is official documents to Guozhou or arrangements, I have never seen a person as organized and thoughtful as Shen Zun. How can such a person be used?"

Li Yanxian said: "Since that's the case, let Shen Zun go south and reuse it. Why worry about the confinement!"

Wang Xiaolie sighed: "Yu Nu's death has a great relationship with Shen Zun! How can I not ask!"

Li Yanxian couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Zhen Fu, those who do great things don't have to stick to small details! You lead a hundred thousand soldiers, and you travel across the world, and no one knows your name! Why bother to worry about a singing girl! Isn't it ridiculous? !"

Looking at Li Yanxian, Wang Xiaolie shook his head slowly: "It's irrelevant to be informal. It's not about not asking right or wrong. In the world, if you don't even ask right or wrong, what can you do well? Jinglue , this kind of thing has to be asked."

Having said that, Wang Xiaolie was silent for a while.He said again: "I've been thinking about this for the past few days. How should I evaluate it and how should I deal with it? On the one hand is Shen Zun's indifference to the people, on the other hand is Shen Zun's shrewdness and ability, which is a rare official talent. On the other hand, he is dedicated to the city. On the other side is the tragic death of a weak woman. This woman faced hundreds of golden soldiers without fear and calmly faced difficulties. For such two people, what should we do? Talent is the ability to appoint. Selection and appointment are different, and this difference should not be confused. I reuse Shen Zun, which means appointment, not selection of talents. Those in power must understand the difference between them, and don’t be confused. As for jade Mother, we should commemorate her and let people not forget her. When we win in the future, we cannot forget these people who calmly fought in the war and died for the country. Shen Zun happened to be caught in the middle. On the one hand, we must praise him, on the other hand, we must Criticize him. This issue cannot be evaded, cannot be clever, requires great wisdom!"

Wang Ruohai said: "What kind of great wisdom?"

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "I haven't fully figured it out yet, and I'm still hesitating. The two of you can help me think about what is the most suitable way. In short, there is a principle. When encountering problems, you can't escape or pretend Nothing happens. If we want to make a real career, we cannot use cleverness to deal with difficult problems. In the eyes of many people, cleverness is considered cleverness, and principles are pedantic. This is wrong. True wisdom lies in While being principled, you can still handle things well. If you can’t do it, then your ability is flawed and you need to learn and improve. Those who play tricks on business will not have a great future and cannot accomplish anything.”

Wang Ruohai and Li Yanxian looked at each other, they didn't expect Wang Xiaolie to say such words.
