"Some stories are legends that cannot be replicated even in the future, such as the Bashan Sword Field, or the old dignitaries in Changling."
The old woman smiled emotionally, looked at Ding Ning, and said: "The merchants in Changling have always been the best at doing business. I heard that the business of those old clans spread all over the dynasties, so that when the Lu family was destroyed, Yuan Wu's army Is it true that it took five days for the horse-drawn carriages to be transported out continuously before all the valuables in the Lu family's mansion were emptied?"
Ding Ning nodded, and said slowly: "The furniture in the Lu family's mansion is only one-tenth of the Lu family's real wealth. Later, most of the Lu family's wealth should have fallen into Yuan Wu's hands. , and some of them fell into Zheng Xiu's hands."
The old woman was startled, and couldn't help shaking her head, saying, "That's really unimaginable."
Ding Ning looked at the old woman and said, "A country and a dynasty can only last for a few hundred years or only a few decades, but some sects and some elites have the accumulation of thousands of years."
The old woman pondered for a moment, then laughed, "When an emperor dies, he changes his dynasty, but a family continues when only one person lives. Therefore, the country is easy to perish but the family is not easy to perish. It is just how difficult it is to govern the country like a family."
Ding Ning turned his head slowly, looked at the wind and snow outside the tent, and said slowly: "Rule with law, rule with benevolence, and think with your body, only then can it last forever."
The old woman became more serious and asked, "What did the Bashan Sword Field, or your master, think at that time?"
"Let's act vigorously and resolutely to rule the world."
Ding Ning said, "The faster you go, the fewer variables there are. However, when something happens to you, you will know that there are many limitations."
The old woman thought about everything she had done at the Bashan Sword Field, and said sincerely, "It's not easy."
…
…
In the palace of Changling, there is a forest.
The reason why it is called a forest rather than a garden is because this forest land is out of the sacred will of Emperor Yuanwu and no one is there to take care of it, and any miscellaneous trees grow wantonly.
The quiet place where Emperor Yuanwu practiced was behind this woodland, and opposite to the quiet place where he practiced, across the woodland was the courtyard where the two phases usually dealt with court affairs.
At this time, the woodland is bleak and miscellaneous, and it looks more like winter.
Emperor Yuanwu was still dressed in commoner clothes, sitting on the ground. Opposite him sat two old men, one was wearing a black robe, with a thin and cold face, and the other looked old, but his face was young, even handsome. , and the breath is mild, giving people the feeling of being easy to talk and make friends with.
This is the two prime ministers who are higher than the heads of the divisions.
To put it in the tone of many Guanzhong people who use direct words, except for some things secretly controlled by the queen, all the things that can be put on the bright side of the Great Qin Dynasty Hall are handled by these two people in coordination.
Originally, most of the matters handled by the emperor were handed over to these two people, and these two people were naturally the emperor's true confidantes.
"Why?"
However, at this moment, these two people asked Emperor Yuanwu this question at the same time.
"There is no reason." Emperor Yuanwu looked at these two important ministers who could influence the entire Great Qin Dynasty, and said calmly, "No matter what she did, it was just a family matter."
The two glanced at each other, and finally said with a stern face, equally calm but with great courage, and said, "Your Majesty, can you guarantee that this will always be your housework?"
Emperor Yuanwu was not angry.
He just raised his head, looked at the sky above the winter forest, and said slowly, "Don't forget how hard it was for the widow and you to get to this point, and don't forget what price the widow and you paid."
The two phases naturally didn't get what they wanted, and they frowned slightly.
Emperor Yuanwu lowered his head, and his eyes fell on Yan Xiang, "Don't forget, when she came from Jiaodong County, she should be the first widow to appear in front of her. The widow represents Wangcheng, and she Representing Jiaodong County, this in itself is the meaning of her coming to Changling, and it is because of your arrangement that she was the first to meet that person."
"Of course it's not your fault."
Looking at the pale face, Emperor Yuanwu shook his head, "It is because of this that the widow won the world. But you must remember that she was supposed to be the widow's queen in the first place. It's not because she wants to win the world, she won't Had that experience. So it's not her fault."
"The widow will naturally not forget what you have paid for the widow."
Emperor Yuanwu's eyes turned to Li Xiang, "Let Shen Xuan take such a position, not to remind people that you came from the Li family and betrayed the Li family to achieve this position. It is to remind the world Man, you can betray the entire Li family for the sake of the widow."
"Now the status of the widow and you is already high, and there are few people in the world who are as high as you. However, you must not forget that the status of the widow and you is only based on the word forbearance."
Emperor Yuanwu laughed at himself slightly: "Before the Lushan League, who in the world paid too much attention to the existence of the widow? Even when the widow came to the throne, most people in the world only thought the queen was cold and powerful. During these years , including in the previous battles with Han, Zhao and Wei dynasties, the world has almost forgotten the existence of the widow."
"Don't be able to bear it at that time."
Emperor Yuanwu was silent for a few breaths, then looked at the two faces who were also silent, and said: "He doesn't know how to endure at this time and here."
"As for the queen, if I can tolerate her, these are naturally my family's affairs."
…
"I didn't know that it wasn't a coincidence that she met that person in Changling back then."
Walking out of the forest, Li Xiang looked at Yan Xiang beside him, took a deep breath, and said slowly.
Yan Xiang smiled sarcastically, "The love of young people is often blind, while the love of adults pays attention to pros and cons. First come, first served is often more important than talent. She doesn't like to accept arrangements, so even if she comes from Jiaodong County at the request of her family, He may not accept marriage with the Holy One at that time."
Li Xiang was silent for a long time.
He knew that this thing that even he didn't know was the biggest secret of all the things back then.
In this matter, his colleague's arrangement was perhaps the most correct arrangement and the most ingenious means back then, because in the end he still achieved his goal and brought Jiaodong County and Changling together. But the most important thing is that this woman who didn't know that there was such an arrangement among them became the queen. What's more important is that her power far exceeded everyone's imagination.
"Do you think this is really what the Holy One said, it will always be a housework?" Li Xiang raised his head and looked at Yan Xiang and asked.
Yan Xiang smiled coldly, "If you believe it, why ask me."
Li Xiang shook his head and said no more.
