Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Just remember what you said? Of course it is not enough, far from enough. People who are relatively close to Wang Xiaolie have a deeper understanding of Wang Xiaolie's thoughts and generally will not go astray. People who are far away from Wang Xiaolie can only figure it out for themselves, so it is not surprising that they go astray.

Sighed. Wang Xiaolie hated this kind of thinking about people the most, but reality forced him to think about it again, which made him very upset.

That night, the Xuanfu Division held a banquet to celebrate Taiyuan's victory. There was a lot of drinking and drinking, and the commotion lasted until midnight. Wang Xiaolie simply stayed in Xuanfusi and didn't go home until the next day. He excused himself from work due to alcoholism.

After returning home, he fell asleep and didn't get up until the sky was near the pole.

When I got up to wash up, Lin Xi came in from outside. He complained: "When you returned to Luoyang, you didn't come home first, which made me worried. When you got home, you got drunk again and fell asleep. With you like this, can home still be your home?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "What can I do? I am doing this job, and there are many things I can't help myself with. To be honest, I don't want to drink, and I don't want to socialize, but I have to do it. Oh, please be more patient. .”

Lin Xi took the towel and handed it to Wang Xiaolie. Said: "I'm worried about your health. It's been a long time, how can you get over it?"

Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "When I was young, why did you worry about my health? When I am seventy or eighty years old, it will not be too late for you to worry again."

As he spoke, he wiped his face with a towel.

Hanging up the towel, Wang Xiaolie said: "I'm hungry, so I'll eat a bowl of noodles. It's been a long time since I had dinner last night."

Lin Xi said: "I have cooked some light dishes. Eat them while they are hot. After you drank wine last night, how could you think of getting hungry? I have cooked a bowl of hangover soup. Drink the soup first. Wake up. After sobering up and eating some food, you’ll be fine in the afternoon.”

Wang Xiaolie said: "You still love me the most. Bring the food to the side hall, I will eat it later."

After saying that, Wang Xiaolie came to the study, picked up the official documents on the table, and started reading.

This is Wang Xiaolie's habit. The first thing he does when he wakes up is to read the official documents sent to him. After reading the official document, I will have breakfast. Of course, the so-called "reading" means that the simple and easy things are processed quickly, and the complicated things are kept separately.

After half an hour, Wang Xiaolie stood up and stretched. Look out the window, the sun is shining brightly, and the big sun is hanging above your head.

When we arrived at the side hall, we first drank the sobering soup made by Lin Xi, then ate two large bowls of rice with stir-fried lotus root slices and mixed with mung bean sprouts, before I felt my stomach bulge. I moved a chair to the small garden and basked in the sun.

After a while, Lin Xi came over with a copy of "The Collection of Flowers". Said: "I have been studying with Master Yi An every day recently, and I feel that my knowledge has increased. I like this volume "The Collection of Flowers" the most, and I read it all the time."

Wang Xiaolie said casually: "There are many poets included in "The Collection of Flowers". I wonder which one you like?"

Lin Xi said: "I like Wen Feiqing the most. His words, 'The exquisite dice are decorated with red beans, and I miss you so much that I miss you', which expresses the pain of missing you."

After Wang Xiaolie heard this, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at Lin Xi. Looking at her snow-white complexion and black hair, she looks particularly charming in the sun. The sun shines on the hair, shining golden light. Sprinkled on the face through the hair, the face also seems to be covered with a layer of blush.

"The exquisite dice are loaded with red beans, and I miss you deeply." This sentence became very famous in later generations, and it has almost reached the point where everyone knows it. However, in the Song Dynasty, this sentence was not well-known. It was far worse than Wen Tingyun's famous sentence "Newly embroidered Luo Ru, both golden partridges". For a moment, Wang Xiaolie was in a trance, and he actually had the feeling that Lin Xi was also from a later generation.

Quickly shaking his head, Wang Xiaolie couldn't help but laugh. How could I have such an idea? There is no doubt that Lin Xi is a figure in this world, otherwise she would have discovered something strange about her behavior.

Lin Xi asked: "So, who do you like best in "The Collection of Flowers"?"

Wang Xiaolie thought for a while and said: "My favorite person is Wei Zhuang. The sentence 'Spring water is blue in the sky, painting boats and listening to the rain sleep' fully describes the beauty of Jiangnan."

Lin Xi hummed, sat down on a chair, and read her "Flower Room Collection".

Wang Xiaolie looked at the sun in the sky. The sunlight was smeared layer by layer, and each layer was particularly clear. The sun was dazzling. Wang Xiaolie squinted his eyes slightly and stared at the sun in the sky. The sunlight slowly turned golden. Even when Wang Xiaolie lowered his head, the golden color fell with Wang Xiaolie's eyes and fell into the house.

Wang Xiaolie likes days like this very much. Looking at the sun carefreely, looking at the various forms it takes on, thinking about nothing. The sun in the sky makes people feel warm, there is no wind, and there is nothing unpleasant.

But there are always too few such days, and there are so many annoying days, which makes people feel tired of this annoying life.

To be honest, when Wang Xiaolie found out that Zhao Gouzi had set up his business in Xiangyang and made Qin Hui the prefect, he knew something was wrong. Zhao Gou's determination to resist the Jin Dynasty was not so firm. Wu Shu stole Haozhou on the East Road last time and was almost made a prisoner. This made him realize that the price of the Northern Expedition was too high.

More importantly, the East Road was undefeated, but the West Road won a resounding victory. If the East Road also wins, Zhao Gou is confident that he can control the situation. Between a victory and a defeat, the situation will be completely out of control.

It's hard to say what Wang Xiaolie was thinking. Now that his military force is too powerful and he almost controls the fate of the empire, will he still listen to the court? What should Wang Xiaolie do if he disowns the court or even rebels?

All of Wang Xiaolie's subordinates were rebellious. Wang Xiaolie knew about this situation, so how could Zhao Gou not know about it? Just hearing a few words from the businessman, Zhao Gou might have been scared to death. It is impossible not to respond.

Zhao Gou's response can be understood from the appointment of Qin Hui as the prefect of Xiangyang. We must make peace with the Jin Dynasty and get rid of Wang Xiaolie first.

What Wang Xiaolie hates most is the intrigue between people. But now, he had to deal with Zhao Gou. Although Wang Xiaolie always said that he wanted to be a loyal minister, what he wanted in his heart was to be a loyal minister, but that didn't mean that he could be manipulated by others.

In the following time, Wang Xiaolie must be cautious and deal with Zhao Gou. With the example of Yue Fei in history, Wang Xiaolie knew not to believe any of Zhao Gou's promises. Only by firmly controlling military power can one's hope lie.

As long as he has military power, Wang Xiaolie is not afraid of Zhao Gou's methods. It's just that when there is nothing more to fight, just raise troops. Before that, Wang Xiaolie had to play the role of a loyal minister in the court.

Each of us is an actor on the big stage of society. There are moments of performing on stage and life off stage. Only by not interfering can you live a happy life. Just when you get on stage, you have to perform the role well and act as if it were real.
