The sound of the water murmuring, the shadow of the oars is leisurely, and the boat is moving fast on the vast earthquake.The lights were on in the main cabin, and Yan Zhu and Huan Yuan were sitting opposite each other, playing chess.Neither of them spoke, their minds were all in the game, and they were fighting fiercely.Huan Yuan's layout is strict, both offensive and defensive, steady and steady, Yan Zhu has a strange chess style, repeatedly takes the sword to the front, and wants to win in danger, but Huan Yuan has cracked them one by one.At this moment, the follow-up is weak, and it has already shown its decadence.Qin Ge stood behind Yan Zhu with his sword in his hand, staring intently at Zhong Liqi.Zhong Liqi sat at the door of the cabin, holding a gourd, pouring wine one after another, ignoring Qin Ge's sword-like gaze.On the deck outside the cabin, Liang Xiao and Wei Qing sat cross-legged, playing Liubo, the most popular game of the Han people.Liubo, also known as Lu Bo, is a game similar to chess in later generations, with a little meaning of the art of war, and Lang officials often play.Wei Qing doesn't talk much, but he is proficient in Liubo, Liang Xiao is not his opponent at all, he lost seven games in a row, and his nose and eyes are swollen.I just made a few moves in the eighth game, and I was about to lose again."
Zhong Qing, where did you learn the art of Boyi, it's a killer.""
I learned it in the Pingyang Hou Mansion."
Wei Qing smiled."
Pingyang Hou is a master of Liubo, he often plays against the princess, I watched from the side and learned a few hands.""
What you said about Pingyang Hou" Liang Xiao said slowly: "Which Pingyang Hou is it" Wei Qing smiled."
Of course, it's the real Pingyang Hou.However, His Majesty is also good at six games, except for Sang Hongyang and Han Yan, no one can defeat him. ”"Sang Hong Yang" Liang Xiao rolled his eyes and heard a familiar name again."
Is he smart?"
"He's the son of a businessman and has been good at mental arithmetic since he was a child. ”Wei Qing fell behind."
He entered the palace very early, but because of his humble background, he has always been despised by others, and can only be a waiter.After His Majesty ascended the throne, he relied on him very much, and often discussed economic affairs with him. ”"Your Majesty has a discerning eye, and there are many wonders around you.""
yes.His Majesty does not like those who come from families.Meritocracy, if not, how can a lowly person like me have the opportunity to serve the Son of Heaven. ”The corners of Liang Xiao's mouth were slightly raised.Now Wei Qing looks satisfied, and he can't imagine how big his achievements will be in the future."
Zhongqing, heroes don't ask about their origins, you don't always have to be burdened by your background.In the future," Liang Xiao pointed to the starry night sky."
You will be a shining star and make the world look at you."
Wei Qing glanced at Liang Xiao and laughed softly: "Liang Jun, thank you for your encouragement."
However, I am now so satisfied that I dare not expect anything more.People are not satisfied, but they do not know that they are too much. ”Liang Xiao pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "Zhong Qing, as a close minister of the Son of Heaven, it is not good for you to have such an idea. ”"Why" "I heard the old man say that he is not rich for three generations, and the same is true for dynasties.The reason is because the first generation experienced the difficulties of starting a business, and the second generation heard and witnessed it, they will be conscientious and dare not be careless.The third generation has been clothed and fed since childhood, and they don't know the difficulty of starting a business, they only know how to squander and extravagant, thinking that the family is big and inexhaustible, but they don't know the crisis hidden under the wealth.If you can't do your best, it will fall apart and disappear in the blink of an eye. ”Wei Qing stopped, raised his head, looked at the starry sky, and thought for a moment."
These words of yours seem to be familiar, I seem to have heard someone say them."
The window of the cabin was opened, revealing Yan Suke's somewhat depressed face."
Liang Xiao, have you also read Jia Junshu", "Jia Junshu", "The late Changsha Taifu, Luoyang Jia Yi." ”Liang Xiao shook his head.He knew Jia Yi as a person, and he also knew a little about his deeds, but he hadn't read his article carefully, and he was only impressed by the Qin treatise.It is obviously not wise to show off in front of Yan Zhu, not to mention that Master Huanyuan is on the side, but he knows that he doesn't even have a piece of Jane at home, where can he talk about reading."
It's not easy to have such insight without reading."
Yan Zhu praised Liang Xiao.Since experiencing the change of the post house and falling into the hands of Huan Yuan, Yan Zhu has changed his opinion of Liang Xiao.If Liang Xiao hadn't drunk Zhong Li's identity in time, he would have been strangled to death by Zhong Li."
Thank you for the compliment, it's just a casual remark, and I ask Lord Yan for advice."
Yan Zhu is probably the same as Liang Xiao, he lost face in chess, and he didn't want to be abused anymore, so he followed Liang Xiao's topic and talked about the general trend of the world.Yan Zhu has read a lot of books, but to Liang Xiao's surprise, there is hardly any shadow of Confucianism on his body.His knowledge is very mixed, and if he must belong to one family, he is more like the Zongheng family, but it is more consistent with his current status as a strategist.Unconsciously, Yan Zhu talked about unification.The so-called great unification is a very vague concept, at least in the case of Yan Suke.In Liang Xiao's view, his admiration for great unification was not so much to put forward a concept as to brainwash Huan Yuan, emphasize the legitimacy of cutting the feudal domain, and make a statement for the imperial court's policies.The rebellion of Wu Chu was forced out by the policy of cutting feudal domains, and the reason why Huan Yuan and others became traitors was also related to this.If the court and the kingdom are at peace, Liu Bi, the king of Wu, may not rebel so quickly, maybe Huan Yuan is still the general of Wu now.Huan Yuan remained silent, neither echoing nor objecting.Liang Xiao felt that his attitude was a little ambiguous, and a glimmer of hope rose inexplicably in his heart.He really didn't want to be an enemy of Huan Yuan.Yan Zhu was like a river, talking eloquently, and his mouth was dry, so he couldn't finish the conversation, and Wei Qing and Qin Ge escorted him back to the cabin to rest.Liang Xiao didn't follow him, he wasn't Yan Zhu's personal guard, the reason why he followed was because of his master-apprentice relationship with him Huanyuan.Huan Yuan walked out of the cabin and sat side by side with Liang Xiao."
Chang'an, okay?"
”Liang Xiao glanced at him and said with a smile."
What a good way" "Good everywhere." ”Liang Xiao smacked his lips and said, "However, I'm stupid, I can't tell me how to make a good way."
If you want to know, let's go and see for yourself. ”"I'll go, if one day."
Liang Xiao's face suddenly darkened.The meaning of Huan Yuan's words is obviously wrong, does he want to take troops into Chang'an" Master, Liu Ju and his father Liu Bi, how" Huan Yuan was silent for a long time."
It's not as good as that.""
Minyue and Wu Guobi, how" Huan Yuan sighed softly: "It's far from each other." ”"Then I can tell you that when today's son is several times stronger than Emperor Xiaojing, his courage may only be comparable to Emperor Gaozu, and even compared with Qin Shi Huang."
Huan Yuan snorted with his nose: "Boy, when will you learn to be a Zongheng family, and you will be able to show off your tongue and tongue:
