People are unbearable and lonely, especially those who have been beautiful, from splendid to dull after all, it is only a few people can reach the realm, and the vast majority of people will have a serious sense of loss.The higher the position you have ever reached, the greater the sense of loss.Dou Ying, who was once prime minister, will undoubtedly have a very heavy sense of loss.What's more, he is not a person who is willing to be lonely, so it is obviously unrealistic for him to live a willing life.Liang Xiao heard Liu Ling say that Dou Ying once took the initiative to ask for cooperation, but she refused.Liu Ling was reluctant to cooperate with Dou Ying, on the one hand, the research project was too sensitive, and it was easy to be associated with Empress Chen, and second, Dou Ying's identity was too special, and cooperating with him might cause the Son of Heaven to be alert.The Empress Dowager spans three eras of Wenjingwu, for more than 40 years, the Dou family as a representative of relatives, the strength is not trivial, the history books with the word Dou lightly, often ignored by future generations.In fact, as far as the current face is concerned, even if the Wang family and the Tian family rise rapidly due to the support of the Queen Mother, the power of the Dou family is still not to be underestimated.The conflict between Dou Ying and Tian Wei is actually a fierce confrontation between two generations of relatives.If the historical records are correct, Dou Ying still has a killer weapon in his hand.Otherwise, he wouldn't be so confident.Although Dou Ying is conceited, after all, he has been an official in the court for more than 30 years, and it is impossible not to know how unwise it is to fight with the family of the queen mother, let alone not know what the consequences of the edict are.In Liang Xiao's plan, Dou Ying is an important part.He knew that Dou Ying's prestige among the Dou Dou was unmatched, even in the mind of the Son of Heaven, Dou Ying also had a very important position, but because of the suppression of the Queen Mother, he couldn't let go of Dou Ying.However, letting Dou Ying as the representative of the opposition and balance the relatives of the Wang family headed by Tian Wei is the only choice for the Son of Heaven.If not.When the idle Dou Ying and Tian Wei, who is the prime minister, have a fierce conflict, why should the Son of Heaven be so embarrassed.Liang Xiao also wanted to take advantage of Dou Ying's fame, but he couldn't ally with Dou Ying, otherwise it would be self-defeating.Wei Qihou said seriously.The kid didn't dare to be. ”Liang Xiao pretended not to understand, and his face was full of admiration."
What has Wei Qihou been busy with lately" Dou Ying smiled, turned around and took out a roll of bamboo slips from the case."
Here are some words I wrote, and I also ask Liang Junhou to look at them."
Liang Xiao sweated profusely.Dou Ying can be literary and martial, what he writes.How can he be qualified to evaluate.He took it respectfully, and when he saw the words behind the first bamboo slip, he was stunned for a moment."
Commentary on the Battle of Henan" "Here are some of my opinions on the Battle of Henan.Liang Junhou is a first-hand witness to the war, can you give some suggestions" Liang Xiao sent the bamboo slip back, and laughed softly: "Wei Qihou is a famous minister of my dynasty, well-informed and experienced.Your opinion, I don't think even the Son of Heaven will take it lightly.How dare the boy put his beak.However, the battle of Henan has ended, and the imperial court has made a detailed analysis.Even if Wei Qihou's opinion is exquisite, I am afraid it will be difficult to attract attention. ”Liang Xiao blinked, looked at Dou Ying with a look of loss on his face, and then said: "If Wei Qihou wants to make an amazing statement, I'm afraid he will have to work harder. ”Dou Ying stroked his beard and pondered for a long time.He put a lot of effort into writing this analysis article on the battle of Henan, just to attract the attention of the government and the opposition and remind the Son of Heaven of him, an old minister who is in and out of the prime minister.Let Liang Xiao see it because Liang Xiao is not only a witness.is a favorite minister in front of the Son of Heaven.If Liang Xiao is satisfied, this article will be easier to reach the ears of the Son of Heaven.However, Liang Xiao didn't even look at it and refused directly.But.Liang Xiao's words reminded him at once.To be an opinion leader, you can't follow the crowd, you must be unique.How can I be unique, Dou Ying can't find the direction for a while."
Junhou, how should the old man work hard" Liang Xiao smiled."
Wei Qihou is a senior, learn Confucianism and Taoism, how dare I show off in front of you.But.The kid was a little shallow, and dared to ask Wei Qihou for advice, and asked Wei Qihou not to laugh. ”Dou Ying was overjoyed.Liang Xiao said modestly, but it was definitely a good plan to solve his current predicament."
A prince doesn't have to be modest, it's okay to be straightforward.""
The kid hasn't read much, but he's a little bit of a guide.In my opinion, there is truth in the Tao, and if we do not discern it, we will inevitably be confused by words. ”Dou Ying nodded again and again."
That's right, there have been too many tongues these days.""
So, how to distinguish the real from the fake is actually very simple," Liang Xiao raised a finger."
Practice.""
Practice" is right, practice is the only criterion for testing the avenue. ”Liang Xiao grinned.Being able to say such pretending to be forced in front of an old nobleman like Dou Ying gives him a sense of accomplishment."
For example, the technique of Zhigang and Softness, you can explain it in three words or two, or you can quote scriptures and classics, and you can use thousands of words at every turn, but in the final analysis, you still have to use a sword made to speak, do you say it" Dou Ying hadn't spoken yet, Chen Chan couldn't bear it anymore, and took the initiative to endorse Liang Xiao."
That's right, it's better to say a thousand and ten thousand than a good sword."
As he spoke, he took the new sword and pulled it out at once, but found that it was only half of it, and then he remembered that the new sword was cut in two by Liang Xiao, and his face was immediately red and embarrassed."
What's going on," the princess was shocked.She knew very well how sharp this new sword was, otherwise she wouldn't have asked Brother Chen Xu to invite Liang Xiao over."
Although this sword cannot be called the best, it is enough to show that the two Chen Jun's efforts are in the right direction, and over time, they will be able to produce a famous sword that sharpens iron like clay."
Liang Xiao took the half of the sword from Chen Chan's hand and gently placed it in front of Dou Ying."
If Marquis Wei Qi helps His Majesty win the battle, he will win the battle, and he will win the attack, even if he is just a few words, he will be proud of the world.What are the three strategies of heaven and man?"
Dou Ying frowned, thoughtful.Liang Xiao compared Dong Zhongshu's three strategies of heaven and man, which made him see the direction.The three strategies of heaven and man are very famous in later generations, but now they are still just a countermeasure, and no one can say whether they can be implemented.Liang Xiao's advice to him is real, how can he provide practical help to the Son of Heaven, and why worry about the reputation of not being known as a scholar There are often two habits: one is to recite the ancients, just like Liang Xiao said, quoting scriptures and classics, and saying thousands of words at every turn.First, it is easy to talk exaggeratedly, although the rhetoric is beautiful, but there is no actual content.Liang Xiao suggested that he look forward and pay attention to practical problems, which is undoubtedly a unique and discerning way.Dou Ying is a smart person, and he quickly understood Liang Xiao's meaning, and he was happy in his heart, and he bowed his hand to the end."
Thank you, Prince."
Liang Xiao hurriedly returned the salute.Dou Ying is a senior, he doesn't dare to accept such a big gift."
Wei Qihou, you can kill the kid.""
Chaowen said, Xi can die.Although the baby is old, he is ashamed of himself.Princes should receive this gift. ”An old man and a young man were modest back and forth a few times, and when the princess of the pavilion chief saw it, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, you don't have to be humble to each other."
One is a senior hero, the other is a young hero, and it is also a blessing to appreciate each other.If you have anything to say, let's talk while drinking. ”Princess Tao of the Pavilion held a banquet to entertain Liang Xiao and Dou Ying, accompanied by the Chen brothers.At the table, they chatted for a while, but Liang Xiao rejected Dou Ying's request for an alliance.He said that a gentleman is not a party, he is harmonious but different, there are too many things that can be done, there is no need for everyone to squeeze into one field, they should show their strengths, let a hundred flowers bloom, and work together for the imperial court.Dou Ying understood in his heart and never mentioned the word alliance again.Liang Xiao was sent away, but Dou Ying did not leave immediately, and he discussed it with the princess of the pavilion Tao again.It is true that he is the leader of Zhudou, but now the most promising person to keep his wealth is the princess of the pavilion.As long as Empress Chen reigns for one day, there will be no problem with the Chen family.If that pair of sister flowers can give birth to a prince, then the status of the Chen family will be even stronger.At such a time, of course, Dou Ying couldn't leave Princess Tao on her own.The princess of the pavilion Tao also has the heart to take advantage of Dou Ying's reputation.Let the Chen Xu brothers study the art of iron smelting, at first it was just a pretense, so that the Son of Heaven could see that the Chen family had the heart to serve the imperial court.Now that the Chen Xu brothers have built sharper swords and have seen the hope of success, she realizes that the Chen family can not only gain fame, but also unimaginable real profits.This can be turned into a lucrative industry.After all, she is a woman, greedy for money, but she does not make money.How to operate, she has to listen to Dou Ying's opinion.The two took what they needed, and naturally formed an alliance.Chen Xu put forward a suggestion in a timely manner: The Chen family and the Dou family have many children, and they have nothing to do all day long and cause trouble, so it is better to select some people to go out and travel to increase their knowledge.How did Liang Xiao's iron-smelting technique come about, I heard it in the Western Regions.He alone can have so much gain, our Chen family and Dou family have hundreds of children, can't they do better than him, Princess Tao is very satisfied, she feels that Chen Xu is so big, and it is the first time to say such insightful words.Dou Ying also felt that it made sense.For the sake of the interests of the Wang family and the Tian family, it is an inevitable trend for the queen mother to suppress Zhu Dou.Since the career is difficult, it may be a good choice to let these boys go out and travel.They have money and leisure, and they are young and vigorous, and if they don't go out, they will only cause trouble in Chang'an."
I'll talk about it."
Dou Ying said: "However, if you want those boys to go out willingly, you may need to show up and be an example." ”Chen Xu and Chen Chan couldn't ask for it, so they agreed.Seeing that Dou Ying wanted to take her two unsuccessful sons as an example, the princess of the pavilion Tao was overjoyed and nodded again and again.These two have grown so big, they haven't given her a face like today."
Wei Qihou, can they do it?"
"What did Liang Xiao say, and practice is the only criterion for proving the Great Dao.They bought the art of softness and rigidity with a lot of money, and created a sharper sword, what a unique vision Chen Dou and the two families are innumerable, who can surpass them without much, and then there are a few people who can be as good as them, who dares to despise our Chen family and Dou family" Pavilion Tao Chang Princess laughed with relief:
