Kingdom of Heaven and Han

The sun went down, and a full moon rose.The cold radiance covered the earth like mercury pouring down the ground.

Wang Xiaolie ate a few grasshoppers, and said to Wang Qingxiu: "My sister said that she will marry the Zhang family next month. I wonder if they are ready? I am busy with government affairs, and I don't have time to worry about my sister's marriage. I should entrust it to Cui Qing. , are you ready?"

Wang Qingxiu said: "I'm not a vain person, so what's wrong with it? It's just that Da Lang's status is extraordinary now, and the Zhang family has put all their attention into it, for fear that something will make Da Lang dissatisfied."

Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "I'm the best person to talk. What are they afraid of? As long as my sister is satisfied, everything will be fine."

Wang Qingxiu sighed: "If others hear you say that, they must be very happy. They will be very domineering in their daily affairs. Otherwise, how can you show your brother's power? You were brought up by me, but I know that you No matter how well you say it, I’m not allowed to do anything out of line.”

Wang Xiaolie said: "If you don't do something out of line, can't you live a good life? You have to hug each other and make the people bow down everywhere, so that you can show your prestige? Only those secular people do this. After all, my sister Unlike them."

Wang Qingxiu picked up the wine glass, faced the moonlight, and looked at the scarlet wine in the glass.After a while, he said: "Sometimes, I also feel that it is very majestic, and I inevitably want to try it. But it is just a thought. Because I know Dalang, I hate such things very, very much. If I do it, You must be extremely disappointed. You are right, do you have to do that to show your power? Your power is not like this."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Yeah, how can power be like that? You have done good things for the people, and the people must be grateful. This kind of gratitude is shown, and the love and admiration for you is the ultimate power. It is not that you can make people Either beating or killing, people are afraid of you, so they make you superior."

Wang Qingxiu said helplessly: "Your younger brother, you have hundreds of thousands of soldiers under your command, and you have expanded your territory for more than a thousand miles. I am also very honorable as an older sister. But you are different from others in everything, and you have weird ideas, so I am also very careful, lest you cause trouble. I don't know, for me, is this a blessing or a curse?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Sister, as long as she thinks about it, she is naturally a blessing. In this world, you eat better than others, dress better than others, and have a high status, isn't it enough? If you have to be domineering, everyone will be afraid of you. , that's wrong."

Wang Qingxiu said: "I can only think so."

The two drank for a while and chatted some gossips, and before they knew it, the night was getting dark.The moon in the sky moved to the mid-heaven.

Wang Xiaolie said: "Before I went to Hedong, I met Zhang Qi, he was a nice person. Later I found out about his family background, he was clean, he was considered a good family. My sister is getting married, I will see him again in a few days .”

Wang Qingxiu said: "What do you do when you see him again? You only say that you are busy with business every day, how can you have time to see these relatives!"

Wang Xiaolie sighed: "Busy is indeed busy. But no matter how busy you are, there is always time to spare. When you marry, the Zhang family will be different from now on. Being in-law with Xuan Fushi is great. There must be many idle children, Baba Go find him, eat, drink and have fun with him. If you are not careful, you will use my power to do things.”…

Wang Qingxiu shook her head again and again: "The Zhang family is not like that!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "It wasn't before, but what will happen in the future is uncertain. The most difficult thing for a person to live in this world is self-discipline. And the higher the status, the more difficult it is to be self-disciplined. There are always a bunch of people around you. What, these people will do what, how many people can hold it? I have been very strict with the law until today. Why do these people listen to me? Because I have strict requirements on them, and even stricter requirements on myself. This principle, sister must remember."

Wang Qingxiu didn't speak.Sitting there, watching Wang Xiaolie.

The moonlight shone on Wang Qingxiu's body, with a cool color, like withered jade.

After a long time, Wang Qingxiu sighed: "It's really not easy to do things like my brother said."

Wang Xiaolie said: "At this time, the farmers are still busy in the fields, and the workers have just returned home to prepare dinner, and there is no idle time at that moment. Compared with them, our life is already very easy. If since ancient times, there are The family members of the powerful are living like my sister, and my sister will not feel that it is difficult for me to live. It’s just that the powerful have been greedy for enjoyment for many years, and my sister finds it difficult when I ask for it.”

Wang Qingxiu smiled and said: "Forget it, you always have various reasons, I am too lazy to talk to you!"

Wang Xiaolie leaned on the chair, took a glass of wine, looked up at the full moon in the sky.This round of moon has been hanging in the sky for many years, and has seen so many joys and sorrows in the world.I don't know if in the eyes of the moon, this world of mortals is good or bad?
As a politician, if you are strict with yourself, many things will be easier to handle.Once the self-discipline is not strict, but the law is strict, things will be difficult to handle.What to do?At this time, all kinds of tricks, intrigues, and tricks are indispensable.

It's not that Wang Xiaolie doesn't know how to conspire, it's not that he doesn't understand power tactics, but he knows that if he does the same thing, he will be just a commoner in the world.What is saving the country and the world is just talking.Even if it is not rescued, even if the Central Plains are lost, someone will be able to expel the captives and restore the Central Plains after a hundred years.

This round of bright moon in the sky, seeing myself like that, is just watching another round of sorrows and joys in the world of mortals.

Strict self-discipline is actually very difficult.To what extent do you discipline yourself?Do you have to be an official, eat poorly, wear patched clothes, and be busy every day like ordinary people?Wang Xiaolie thinks not.If you become a high-ranking official yourself, of course you will have a higher salary and more money.It's your own money, what else can others say?The so-called self-discipline is to take the money you should take and do what you should do.Don't take money you shouldn't take, and don't do things you shouldn't do.If not, the people below would not know what to do.

If you want the most intelligent people in the world to serve as officials, how can it be possible if you don't give them generous rewards?Are all the smart people in the world stupid?If you don't give money, of course they have to get it themselves.The power in the hands of officials first becomes a tool for officials to collect money, and politics will naturally become corrupted.

The so-called political corruption is most feared not how much money officials have embezzled and how many bad things they have done.It's just that such officials have occupied positions, controlled the upward channels, and made those who can really do well lose the opportunity.A society that cannot select the best talents will eventually sink.

Wang Xiaolie has been a human being for two lifetimes, how could he be willing to just be a commoner in the world?This world of mortals is just a dojo for Wang Xiaolie.In this dojo, what is refined is not the elixir, nor even oneself, but all living beings.

Just to gain a higher status for oneself, get more money, more beauties, and even the praise of the people, is to look down on oneself.What Wang Xiaolie wants is not only to save the country and the people, but also something more advanced.Although what this thing is, Wang Xiaolie can't tell now.

If you are strict with yourself and cannot do whatever you want, is it wronging yourself?Wang Xiaolie doesn't think so.As a minister of one party, with his own army of 20 and nearly tens of millions of people under his rule, isn't he powerful enough?Isn't it enough to spend thousands of dollars a year and have enough food and clothing on weekdays?
