The rain is getting lighter.

The meeting in the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion lasted for more than half an hour, and it gradually stepped out of the formal content and became casual.

For these staff members in the Prime Minister's Office, each has its own responsibilities, and at this stage, most of the problems are not conceptual, but the promotion and integration of many specific matters. This morning meeting was mainly because of Ning Yi's return, everyone talked about the current situation, and then saw if there were any matters that could be communicated and cooperated.

Ning Yi is currently managing funds in the Prime Minister's Mansion, managing the germination of public opinion propaganda, and also managing a large number of relationships in the shopping mall - although the funds are considered the private property of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the germination of public opinion is not the main thing of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the relationships in the shopping mall can only be said to be private contacts, and all things cannot be taken officially, but the promotion of many serious matters in the Prime Minister's Mansion really needs this kind of private involvement to intervene. Ning Yi's cooperation with everyone can be regarded as very familiar.

Of course, before he came back, there was no basket of cooperation between everyone and Ning Yi's side, and when he returned to Bianliang at this time, these things were of course just a greeting, which made him know in his heart. In fact, since the recent period of time, the results of the martial arts test will appear, everyone is robbing people openly and secretly, trying to push the right people to the right position one by one, what can be co-opted, what cannot be coerced, will also analyze whether it can be coerced and used, piles and piles, light and dark trivialities, but since things have happened, we can only do it according to the existing situation, and if we don't do it, it will only be worse.

After the necessary things are discussed, everyone sits down to drink tea and chat. Speaking of the situation in Jinguo, everyone also feels a little confusing.

“…… After Wu Qimai succeeded to the throne, he put down the conquest and stabilized the government, which can be seen now. Now there are many people in the court, and some people believe that after Wu Qimai stabilized the government, he would attack our Wu Dynasty and insist on taking advantage of the unstable foundation of the Jin State. A large number of the rest of the Liao State were acquired. There are also people who believe that the core military and political members of the Jin State are insufficient and cannot afford to invade the south, but if we go too far. forced Jin Guo to have no choice. Therefore. At present, the war has been completed. The two of us should be sincere and start doing business. Tang Qinsuo, Geng Xidao and others all hold this view. Several major forces that can influence inside and outside the court are also advocating this, believing that the next year will be a critical moment to determine the attitude of both sides in the future, which is actually reasonable. ”

After Yao Zunian said this, he took a sip of tea. Qin Siyuan continued behind his desk.

"After all, now, it's hard for us to see clearly, how Jin Guo will go next. I have reflected on many things before, and now I am a little disgusted with these petty fights. If you have enough strength, you will come to do business if you want to beat you, but if you don't have enough strength, and if you jump around again, those who have good intentions will also feel that they have to beat you. It's just that in today's court, there are many such ideas, and the saints are also somewhat inclined to ......"

The old man paused and picked up the teacup: "After Ah Gu is killed, the successor is not the eldest son, but the younger brother." This matter is close to Zen and is not a normal continuation. We have also learned that in the Jin Kingdom, the strength of its Taizu family is still very heavy, including Zong Han, including Xi Yin, who are the most capable and decisive people in the Jin Kingdom. Many people took the opportunity to write a book, and asked the saint to use this as a guide to attack the Jin Kingdom at this time. These speculators are the most hateful ......"

Ning Yi ate the pastry: "No matter what, no matter whether there is a possibility of fighting in the future, there will always be a thousand miles of depth and the strength of a battle." ”

"Whoever comes to see and say it, it should be there, but when I look at the past examples, I don't have much confidence, and I don't know how to prepare......

After Jin destroyed Liao and then Ah Gu was killed, the situation seemed a little illusory. Whether the other party will call is a strange question. Because no matter how you look at it, the six states of Yanyun outside Yanmen Pass, tens of thousands of troops, plus the ever-expanding victorious army of Guo Yaoshi's department, are enough to fight a large-scale war. And in the distance from Yanmen Pass to the capital, including the regular army, including those like Dong Pang'er, and the army that was pressed on a land of thousands of miles after Tan Zhi's edict, the number of hundreds of thousands, such a huge formation, at first glance, most people have a delusion -- they don't know what they are preventing.

But on the other hand, if you think about it, the Liao State collapsed devastatedly, and the many shortcomings within the Wu Dynasty itself, as well as the various reasons that can be said and cannot be said, if they add up, no one can have too much confidence in the proposition of "confronting the Jin State".

One qiē was too fast, and the Jin State had overthrown the Liao State in a few years, and had become a real opponent of the Wu Dynasty. And no matter which proposition: to beat you, not to beat you, to beat you, and not to beat - which conclusion has too many reasons and too many flaws, because there are too many factors, but none of the ideas can be deduced, and even seems absurd.

Just like this time, after the end of the martial arts, everyone began to operate the layout, and the prime minister tried to consolidate a defensive line in the north in this chaotic situation. But on the one hand, is it really necessary to do so much? Starting from Yanmen Pass, this huge defense line should be enough no matter who is defending. And on the other hand, does it make sense to do so? Because it seems that the entire defense line of thousands of miles does not look very reliable, and if you consolidate a strong bubble, it will only be a bubble in the end.

Once you start to think about this problem, everyone will feel that they are standing on a line of violent fluctuations, and it is possible to go in any direction, and in which direction they go, they will rush to the end with a devastating momentum. It's as if you're working hard for an illusory thing, and waiting for the moment when it becomes real.

And if you really want to think rationally in the end, every qiē stems from one reason: the bayonet is about to see blood, no matter what the sentence that comes, I am afraid that there is not much that can be done next, and it cannot play a decisive role.

"Autumn is coming, and I feel like I'm doing my best." After walking out of the room, under the eaves, Monk Jueming chatted with Ning Yi for a few words and smiled slightly. Ning Yi also smiled: "There should still be time." ”

"The world is in soup. Years ago. When everyone talks about the situation in Liao, they will not think of today's situation. The dice clock is about to be revealed, and I don't know if it's a kill or a loss. The middle-aged monk looked at the waterline under the eaves, "However, the book in Liheng Building is very interesting, I like martial arts." ”

"Wow, I can't imagine the master is so cheesy......"

Ning Yi smiled, and Yao Zunian walked over from the side and stood under the eaves together. smiled: "This monk is not very clever in the first place. ”

The crowd chatted a few more words.

All the way back home. The rain had just stopped, and the air was moist all around, and the water was still dripping under the eaves and on the leaves. For the teachers who are waiting here. Ning Yi was a little surprised. But see him back. Tan'er then led Ning Xi away, leaving space for the two.

"I thought Liheng wouldn't come back." The master looked at him and smiled, "I've come to look for you several times." But I couldn't find it. ”

"There are some things going north, and I have been delayed a lot, but how can I not come back, after all, my home is here."

The side hall facing the small garden, Ning Yi poured tea for her, the master lowered his head and was silent, covered his sleeve and took a sip, raised his head and looked at Ning Yi for a while, before he whispered: "The disaster is gone." ”

"Ahh Ning Yi nodded, "As you can see, the autumn harvest is over, and the matter is over." ”

"I sometimes go out of the city to see the beggars and give them something to eat." In front of the window with a warm view, the two of them also seemed calm, and the teacher said while thinking, "The disaster is gone, and they still can't go back after all." ”

Ning Yi thought for a while: "The world is like this. ”

Shishi's eyes looked at him: "Is Liheng just thinking like this?" ”

"Thinking too much about unhappiness and the meaning of life, I think it's best to stay between three or five people, and also stop at three or five years, except for the closest people, don't think about thirty or fifty years." Ning Yi's answer was also bland, "This should make you happier, otherwise, no matter how you think about it, it won't make people feel at ease." ”

Shi Shi lowered her head, drank tea, and had a good time, she looked at the small garden outside the window, and then said: "What Liheng did in the Prime Minister's Mansion, did it also stop between three or five people?" ”

Ning Yi laughed: "Most of the three or five people I care about are behind this courtyard. ”

“…… Tan'er's sister-in-law and sister-in-law are really happy. The teacher laughed heartily.

She was silent for a long time, then remembered other feelings, sighed and said, "I shouldn't think about it, after all, I also thought about it." ”

"I heard that you rejected Zhou Meicheng's proposal."

"Does Liheng think I should agree?" Shishi's eyes looked at him again, and then said, "Not only his, but many people have also refused, and I know that this is not good." But since this year, I always feel that something is about to change, when I am older, I am about to get married, and when I think about it in the past, I think it is just like that, but now when I think about it, I always feel empty. When I was fourteen years old, I lived in the courtyard of the alum building, and I felt that there were people everywhere, and I lived there, and I always felt that I was there. As long as I am there, the yard is full, and people come to talk to me, complain to me, listen to me play the piano and sing music, spend money on me, and when there is no one, I am there alone, and I live there, but suddenly, it seems that everything has changed. I could have thought clearly ...... before."

She clenched her hands into fists and rested on the edge of the table, her words growing faster and her eyes blank.

"Now I'm alone in the yard, as if the yard isn't mine anymore. Mother Li was very good to me, persuaded me to get married, and was also considerate of me, and when others looked at me, there was always a feeling that they wouldn't see me after a few months and a half. It's like a month, a few months later, I won't be in that yard anymore, I don't know where, maybe it's in an unfamiliar house, an unfamiliar bed, for a lifetime, with a man I don't actually know......"

Shishi closed her eyes, a few tears came out of them, she bit her lip, and then smiled as if to cheer herself up.

That's why I went to see the beggars and do some ...... Good. I've done these things before, and if I'm doing them in the future, it doesn't seem like things have changed much. The room was quiet, only her talking, and after a moment of silence, she took a breath, "Actually, Liheng doesn't care much about these things, right?" But I think you get the idea...... Others may not understand. ”

Ning Yi poured tea for her: "There should still be many people who understand." I got married a long time ago, and I forgot all about what happened before I got married. But even if you haven't forgotten Jì, I was a nerd at the beginning, and I didn't have any family, so it shouldn't be very important. ”

The master looked at him: "Liheng is ...... now You're doing a lot of important things, right? ”

"It's all messy, and I can't say it."

"Are you still fighting with those grain merchants?"

"Heh, how can you keep fighting."

"But they're still looking for trouble, right?"

Ning Yi laughed: "...... Occasionally...... That would. ”

The teacher laughed too. The distance between the two is not far or close after all, and although the teacher's expression is smiling, he also looks a little lonely. After drinking the cup of tea, she stood up.

"I've been thinking a little strangely lately, and I don't know who to talk to, so I'm a bit presumptuous today......"

Ning Yi shook his head: "I can still understand." ”

"I had a few words with my sister-in-law earlier. If Liheng has been staying in Bianliang recently, when you want to talk about business, you might as well go to Alum Tower to sit down. Younger sister...... Recently, I have been pushing down the invitation, but if it is a matter of Liheng, I must not push it. ”

"Heh, I know, you can also come to the house to walk and sit if it's okay, of course, Tan'er is a good person, you should be careful not to be sold by her."

He sent the master to the door, and while speaking, the master blessed him with a bright smile, and then left a little lonely. Ning Yi smiled under the eaves, he probably understood what this "childhood friend" was bothered by, but he really couldn't solve these things.

And on my own side, things are also like a lot of mountains.

But it doesn't matter, just follow the steps step by step, after all, the real big thing is not here.

He went all the way back, through the eaves and the courtyard gate, and when he entered the backyard, he was joined by his wife and children who were waiting there for a long time, and winter was coming, and then they would have a long, long time together.

And he's just like that, and he's not going to go out...... (To be continued......)
