rich concubine

Chapter 2100 Meaning
Rong Yi knew a lot about men's ambitions. As the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, she naturally thought that the men of the Jiang family were just to defend the country and resist foreign enemies, that's all.

But they forget that the more capable a man is, the more he has his own ideas. If there is no rope holding the morality and grand plan in his heart, the so-called loyalty and treachery are just a matter of thoughts.

Rong Yi raised her eyes to look at him. She applied a layer of powder on her face, and the light pink powder on her eyelids made her eyes softer. But she was very calm at the moment and asked him: "If one day, I can let you go and let you do whatever you want." , how will you and your father-in-law choose?"

Jiang Shunxiao smiled, raised his hand to stroke her temples, and said: "This day will never happen. If this day really comes, Chitan Kingdom must be captured. Otherwise, no matter how many years it takes, it will still be a hidden danger. I don’t want to delay what we have solved in this generation to the next generation.”

Rong Yi's eyes changed slightly. She pursed her lips and took a deep breath. Although the two of them rarely talked about such important things when they were together, Rong Yi knew in her heart that her man was by no means mediocre and without the slightest idea. People just have many thoughts that they dare not even think about or speak out. People who march and fight are most likely to be jealous of their superiors, and they are also most likely to be infamous for their achievements.

Unless absolutely necessary, government orders are ironclad orders. Even in a close relationship, they cannot withstand repeated temptations.

The king and his ministers have a clear distinction between superiority and inferiority. Never try to kidnap a supreme emperor with emotions. Those who can sit in that position must also learn to destroy human desires.

The founder of Qi State once said: If you want to achieve hegemony, as an emperor you must abandon the seven emotions and six desires. No one or anything can become a weakness. Therefore, he did something that has been criticized for a long time.

He personally married Concubine Mo, his first wife, who followed him all the way, loved him as much as her soul, and gave birth to four princes.

When he achieved hegemony, the empress of the middle palace who sat next to him and shared the kingdom was just a daughter of an official family established to win over civil servants. She was more suitable for the position of empress than the woman he loved.

His approach was praised by some and criticized by others, but it has to be said that in his generation, the glorious era he created did reach its peak.

Perhaps because it had already reached its peak at the beginning, the Qi family's fortunes became worse and worse the further they went. Until the time when Qi was destroyed, the emperor who indulged in pleasure threw aside the rules of his ancestors. In the end, it was indeed bad because of lust.

It is best not to speculate on the emperor's heart. Therefore, only by adhering to the duty of a minister will you not suffer yourself.

Rong Yi took his hand and went to sit down at the long table. She looked at the mud on his hands and wiped them with a handkerchief, but he avoided it.

After patting it twice casually, he said: "This handkerchief of yours is not ordinary. It will be ruined if you use it to wipe my hands."

Rong Yi glared at him angrily: "How come it's a waste? If I use what I earn on you, I feel comfortable."

Jiang Shunxiao smiled, looked at his hands, and said to her: "Speaking of which, the mud on this hand really wasn't put on intentionally. I just watched their training outside and met a new recruit, 15 years old, male and female. I saw him walking awkwardly and thought that he had been training for several months. I was afraid that the training would have no effect at all, so I wanted to teach him a lesson. It turned out that this kid's reaction ability was pretty good. Not only did he avoid it, but he and I Right palm."

"Don't tell me that he dodged it. If you didn't hold it back when you exerted force, did you fall by yourself?"

Rong Yi looked at him in surprise. If this were the case, he, the general, would be embarrassed.Jiang Shunxiao smiled helplessly: "That's not the case. I saw that he was very responsive. He seemed to be inadvertently aware that I was about to take action. This kind of alert reaction is something that many veterans don't have if they don't train for a long time, so they fought with him. After a few strokes, the child was covered in mud, and then it got stained.”

Rong Yi held her chin up to listen to him and answered at the right time: "What next?"

"I thought he was interesting, so I asked him why he joined the army at such a young age? What do you think he said?"

Rong Yi's beautiful eyes turned slightly, and she thought of something more vulgar, and said, "I don't think I admire you and want to fight with you."

"There is indeed this reason. He said that as a soldier of Meng, you can have enough food and clothing. Although it is a bit hard, you can get close contact with me. When I heard this, I was thinking, Qian, a good man of Meng. There are tens of millions of people who have enough to eat, but not many who can afford to study. These people either farm at home, run small businesses, or join the army. As long as they have no major physical problems, they can still have enough food and clothing. Worry, everyone, old and young, is safe, it’s just that you have put a bracket on your life in advance, and you may sacrifice for the country at any time.”

"When I first entered the military camp, the reasons for my comrades who were about the same age as me were, firstly, to survive from starvation, and secondly, to protect their homeland and country and resist bandits. The changes in the past ten years have been really big. Although the Meng Kingdom has not yet reached its heyday, who in a small country would dare to invade? Even Chitan, who is equally matched, now has to weigh his own weight. Therefore, when those who join the army come one by one, their faces There are more smiles, unlike in the past, everyone joining is full of tragedy and the will to sacrifice their lives to respect the mountains and rivers."

Rong Yi was shocked and said, "This is a good thing, this is a good thing."

Jiang Shunxiao smiled and nodded.

What a strong country brings is confidence and self-confidence, allowing people to smile again, making the sky blue and shining, and not afraid of darkness.

Although the battle with Chitan Kingdom may still start in the near future, what is there to fear at that time?The young men of Meng are not afraid of death and defend their country with their lives to deter those with evil intentions.

Therefore, it is very necessary to vigorously promote education.

Only students from noble families can be used by the country. It is the same for students from poor families.

"There is also a pair of twin brothers joining the army this year. I saw that they look exactly the same. It is difficult to tell them apart if you don't distinguish them carefully, so I want to train these two brothers specially and use them for other purposes. They are both 16 years old. Looking at them I would wonder, what will our children look like when they grow up?"

16 years old, just in time.

"They said that the younger sister in the family was cared for by the county government and was able to develop knowledge. The two of them were older and did not catch up with the best time to study. However, even the younger sister could go to school and receive education, which made their family I can’t thank you enough, that’s why they came up with the idea of ​​joining the army. By the way, they were very excited when they saw me before, and they also want to see you.”
