Shen Li's heart was itching, and he suddenly wanted to go. But when I thought about it again, I remembered the fierce fat face of the fourth wife, and finally sighed, and returned to the house, looking at my "schematic diagram of changing my life against the sky" in a daze.

Now that's the right thing to do.

As soon as she picked up the pen, she heard someone in the courtyard call her, and then, a hurried figure crashed into the house: "Ah Li! Ah Li!"

As soon as the man entered the house, he grabbed Shen Li's arm and startled her. A young woman, with a middle-to-upper appearance, just a cloak, disheveled, with tears on her face, makeup and flowers, and a blue corner of her mouth:

"Ah Li, you have to call the shots for your sister-in-law!"

Shen Li frowned and looked at it for a long time before he recognized it as the wife of Shen Xiaolin, the boss of the second room.

Mengjiazhuang, thirty miles east of Shenjiazhuang, has had a deep friendship with the Shen family since his ancestors, and has become a world friend. When the old lady of the Shen family was still alive, the two families had ordered a doll kiss. Later, Meng Qingru, the eldest lady of the Meng family, married Shen Xiaotian, the eldest grandson of the long house, and became Shen Li's sister-in-law. In the second year, he kissed and kissed again, and married the second lady to Sun Shen Xiaolin, the head of the second room, who was the Meng Qingyi in front of him.

Shen Li asked, "Are you fighting?"

Meng Qingyi nodded vigorously: "Your brother has drunk too much and gone crazy with alcohol, and he will beat people when he sees them, you can't ignore them!"

"This matter should be in the hands of your mother-in-law, right? How can two people fight and find a sister-in-law to persuade them to fight?

Meng Qingyi glared: "That's your brother!"

"Cousin. Shen Li corrected.

"I don't care, anyway, he's your eldest brother's own brother!" Meng Qingyi crossed his waist and said: "When the eldest brother was leaving, he could say: If you are in trouble, find Ah Li!"

Shen Li Waterfall Khan: This is really my brother.

Meng Qingyi stroked her messy hair back very freely, and said: "When Shen Qinghui married into her mother-in-law's family and was beaten, you went too far for her! Now your brother beats me, why don't you care?!"

Shen Li explained with a bitter face: "Eh, mention that incident again! You only know that I stood up for Sister Hui, but then my mother scolded me so badly, you don't know." ”

"Why? You're right, why is she scolding you?"

"My mother said, 'Husbands and wives fight and dogs don't care'! If the two of them break up in the future, maybe they will complain that you are blindly stirring up and breaking up;

Shen Li said and pointed to the courtyard in the fourth room: "At the beginning, Zhang Xianggong in that courtyard was beaten like a grandson by me on the ground, and now I am embarrassed to go to the wine and watch the play, how embarrassing it is to meet!

Meng Qingyi snorted and laughed, and didn't care how embarrassed she looked now, she nodded her nose and said happily: "Haha, it turns out that you also have a fear? I thought that no one in Shenjiazhuang could cure you little overlord!"

Shen Li flattened his mouth, rolled up his sleeves, and personally threw a towel and handed it to her. Meng Qingyi took it, thanked him, wiped his face, and said:

"But sister, don't worry, I'm not that unreasonable person! Shen Xiaolin is confused, I can't beat him with little strength, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law can't take care of him honestly, if you can help me cut him, even if he is injured and killed, I will go to court for you to pay for your life! I will definitely not affect you at all...... If you don't believe me, I'll give you a note now!"

The corner of Shen Li's mouth twitched: I really didn't see it, this woman is quite ruthless.

"My mother's family just called me three obedience and four virtues, swallowed my anger, and couldn't count on it...... Good sister, you can help me back!"

Shen Li was about to cry: "My mother will scold me!"

"What are you afraid of?!I'll cover you! If the eldest lady asks, I'll stand up to it! If I can't stand it, I'll go to my sister to help you talk! Anyway, she's coming back this month. ”

No matter what she said, Shen Li just shook his head with a bitter face. Meng Qingyi stomped his feet angrily, looked up and saw the plan she had drawn, tilted his head and looked at it for a long time: "You ...... This is, are you going to write it?"

Shen Li was stunned for a moment: "Ahaha, yes, yes." ”

The plan had words and paintings, as well as scribbled ink balls, which looked chaotic and disorganized, but she didn't expect her to read it carefully again and asked:

"What about the end?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. ”

Unexpectedly, Meng Qingyi suddenly rolled up her sleeves, grabbed the pen on her desk, and brushed a few strokes without waiting for her to stop her, erasing the large section of text she was struggling with, pulling out a long line, and adding a few lines of small characters in a dance. At the end, I threw the pen away very refreshingly:

"That's it!"

Shen Li was a little dumbfounded.

Why didn't you find out before, there is such a magical cousin in the second room?

The so-called plan was originally based on the hexagram given by the Fengzao Immortal Jun Tianqi Technique, drawing out the various relationships and forces of the three princes who were preparing to seize the heir in the capital, and after her days and nights of hard thinking and meditation, she designed a road to the top for Zhao Su.

However, this plan is not perfect, and there are still many links that have not been thought out in the middle. Moreover, because Zhao Su has too few resources in his hands and his opponent is too strong, there are many thorny problems that can only rely on luck.

However, Meng Qingyi's stroke is a real stroke of genius: she directly drew an arc, bypassing Zhao Yang and Zhao Teng, crossing out a series of elaborate plans she had made in order to defeat her fierce opponent, and directly pointed to the end, the throne.

Shen Li looked at her expressionlessly: "Are you cheating?"

Meng Qingyi said: "I didn't break the rules." ”

Shen Li knocked on the henchmen and spheres of influence under the names of Zhao Teng and Zhao Yang and said angrily: "Is such a gorgeous villain lineup just for good looks?"

"That's your problem!" Meng Qingyi sneered: "In the royal family's system of brother to brother, all the battles of the princes for the succession are meaningless. ”

Shen Li said disdainfully: "Ah, you seem to have a lot of insight." ”

"Huh. ”

Meng Qingyi glanced at her: "Sister, I read through the "Twenty-Four History" when I was eight years old. I won't tell you the truth, my father loves historiography, and the study at home is full of ancient historical books, especially the actual records of the emperors of various dynasties - even if Mr. Taixue comes, he can't ask me!"

Shen Li's jaw dropped when he heard it. The master is really in the folk!

Meng Qingyi tugged up the clothes that had been torn off his shoulders and continued: "Take my dynasty as an example, when the emperor is about to die but there is no crown prince, the Ministry of Rites will submit a list of candidates for the princes of the palace, and then the first auxiliary minister and the empress dowager will finally decide¬ - there is no need to ask anyone's opinion! Even if the princes are pulling the party members to fight openly and secretly, it is meaningless! Because the rules set by the ancestors are there, and whoever the first auxiliary minister decides is whoever is who, and there is nothing to fight about. ”

"So, who will win in the end has long been decided?"

"That's right!"

Meng Qingyi nodded: "You should be the chief of the village election? Do you have to win the hearts of the people and the villagers unanimously agree? Don't forget, the system of our dynasty is that all princes have no official positions, let alone an army." In principle, as long as Lord Shoufu doesn't like him, even if he buys off all the civil and military officials, it will be useless!"

"Then, is there a possibility that the first assistant minister was sold?"

"Haha. ”

Meng Qingyi actually laughed when he heard this, accidentally touched the wound at the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help but take a breath, and then stopped slightly: "Sister, are you stupid to read, right? Do you know what kind of person can become the first minister?"

Shen Li shook his head honestly.

Meng Qingyi said: "Shoufu is the prime minister, under one person, above ten thousand, and is an important figure who will leave a name in history. If you want to achieve this official position, you must have at least 30 years in politics, have a background as a scholar of Hallym Academy, have been a cabinet minister for more than 10 years, have good conduct and outstanding political achievements—do you think that people who can occupy this position can be impressed by ordinary interests?"

Although Shen Li reads a lot, she doesn't know anything about officialdom. I couldn't help but secretly embarrass myself: It's really troublesome to be a man! I thought that as long as I studied hard, I could become an official, but I really thought too simply......

Shen Li still asked unrelentingly: "Then, what if it is Xu Yi's high-ranking officials?"

Meng Qingyi smiled again: "He is already a very popular minister, no matter who is the emperor, he is still the prime minister! Why should he be involved in the battle for power?"

- Well, I'm stupid.

Shen Li realized that he had asked a particularly idiotic question, scratched his hair awkwardly, nodded and said, "You are right, being able to do this position is already the pinnacle of a courtier." Is it possible that he is a particularly money-hungry and lustful person?"

"It's a possibility. ”

Meng Qingyi nodded: "If you can sit in the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, you may be greedy for money and lustful, but you will never be stupid." He can be greedy, abandon principles, and have no bottom line at any time, even if he is a cruel* and treacherous minister, he will definitely not show favoritism in the matter of choosing a prince. ”

"Why is that?"

"It's very simple! Because he has to hold the power himself in order to be invincible. If he sends the gold lord to the throne because he has received benefits, it will be his handle for the rest of his life! If the gold lord turns his face, won't he be doomed? Hehe...... The founding kings of all dynasties did the same thing after ascending the throne - killing heroes. Do you think, the existence of this person is completely to prove that his throne is not coming from the right way, and if you don't kill him, you will stay for the New Year?"

Shen Li was dumbfounded.

Meng Qingyi patted her on the shoulder: "Also, it is impossible for a person with such short-sighted vision to become the first minister." ”

Shen Li instantly felt that in the past few days, he had been cramming Buddha's feet and gnawing on books, and his work was really in vain!

At this time, Meng Qingyi suddenly sighed: "If you read more history books, you will find that politics is the thing that best reflects people's wisdom in this world." And reading can only get knowledge, but not wisdom. ”

Shen Li looked at her with bright eyes: "I found that you are really a treasure!"

Meng Qingyi smiled embarrassedly, and straightened his unkempt hair by the way.

"Wait," Shen Li suddenly thought of a question: "Doesn't that mean that no matter if you take a good hand or a bad hand at the beginning, it has nothing to do with the ending?"

"No, there is still a relationship. No matter who you are, you have to live until you show your hole cards. Meng Qingyi shook his head, clenched his fists and said: "The head is iron enough, the life is hard enough, this is the ultimate meaning that can laugh to the end in all political struggles!"

"You have a point, I really can't argue with it. ”

However, Meng Qingyi suddenly changed his expression again, and said pitifully: "So you can help me." ”

Shen Li looked at her miserable situation, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion in his heart: With her knowledge and foresight, I am afraid that even the third young master Shen, who is regarded as the pride and the most knowledgeable in the whole village, is beyond the reach of the dust! It's a pity that she married a reckless man who is addicted to alcohol, and she is really a pearl in the dark, and God doesn't open her eyes.

Shen Li said solemnly: "I suddenly feel that Shen Xiaolin must be beaten today. ”

Nod frantically.

Shen Li patted his chest and said, "This matter is on me! I promise that I can make him quit drinking from today, and let him not drink in the future!"

In the evening, when Yan Shuling returned to the door of the inn, he heard a commotion from inside from a distance.

I couldn't help frowning slightly.

She has been cultivating for a long time, and she has always been an example for all her disciples, whether it is her heart and behavior or her speech and demeanor. The rules and precepts set by the Wuling Divine Monarch were not even able to be done or memorized by himself, but Yan Shuling implemented them all at a glance, and he was always a textbook-level demonstration.
