"Those who become big things are not informal, they just suffer losses, they don't need to be like their dead mothers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Shen Cheng looked down at the "Zhuangzi" in his hand again.

Li Dai found that the elder pavilion, who had always regarded himself as a literati and ink artist in front of the man in black, actually said foul language, but he sounded very pleasant. couldn't help but take a few more glances at Ge Lao, and since he followed Shen Yi's side, he found that no matter where Ge Lao went, he would carry this "Zhuangzi" with him. The pages are now yellow, but from a distance it seems that the handwriting is becoming clearer.

At this time, the night was dark, and there was a faint light outside. The oil lamp in the house had a blackened wick that had been burned overnight, and the flame had dimmed, but as long as it was still burning, it would glow. Li Dai found that Ge Lao was like this oil lamp that was about to burn out, although he was in his last years, as long as he was in the world for a day, he would hold the power tightly in his hands. No matter how tormented the years are, Ge Lao will still release endless light.

Dongfang Yunfu also looked at Shen Cheng quietly, with his status in Dragon City and his martial arts, it was enough to make the world fear and surrender, and no one would dare to let him wait a moment longer. But now he was waiting willingly, and suddenly thought of the first time he and Shen Cheng met.

He couldn't remember how many years it was, but he felt like it had been a long, long time. That time was still here, and Shen was still holding a copy of "Zhuangzi" in his hand, bowing his head and carefully flipping through it. Back then, Dongfang Yunfu was arrogant and arrogant, where could he tolerate the disrespect of others for him.

Dongfang Yunfu stepped in front of the long table in one step, raised his hand and moved with murderous intent. It was at that time that Shen Cheng raised his head calmly, and Dongfang Yunfu saw a pair of eyes, as deep as an ancient well, and could not make waves. Originally, he was looking at the murderous intention, but he was always watched by Shen, and he lost half of his temper.

That time, Shen always told him that opportunities are always reserved for those who are patient enough. So there was the fact that Dongfang Yunfu and the five people had conspired to kill the god Dongfang Yu for many years.

That year, Shen was already thirty-five years old, well-versed in scripture and history, and good at poetry and writing, but he had never participated in the imperial examination, so he naturally had no fame. lived a poor life, lived in this dilapidated house, one meal a day, and often relied on drinking fruit to eat. It was at that time that Shen always had the saying of drilling dog holes, and he had been drilling dog holes for three years. It wasn't until he was thirty-eight years old that he won the imperial examination, but he was ranked behind the thirty-sixth place in the second class.

Since the founding of Taizu, there are almost no people who have become the first assistant of the cabinet after the thirty-six members of the second class, but Shen has always said that he can. Many people said that he lived in a dream, but he just smiled and said that life is a dream, and those who have achieved great things since ancient times must have big dreams.

Big ambitions, big dreams, small dreams, no dreams in the heart are no different from dead people.

Shen Cheng listened to the ridicule of his colleagues while continuing to drill the dog hole, which had been drilling for nearly thirty years. Now he is only one step away from the position of first assistant, and even if he does not sit in the cabinet, the power in his hands is enough for him to call the wind and rain.

But Shen always said that it was his dream and that he would definitely finish it.

Many times, Li Dai felt that the elder pavilion was close to his prime, even if he became the first assistant, what could he do? It was just an extra title, but he didn't understand Shen Yiyi.

Dongfang Yunfu understood that Shen had always been consistent, and the two had exchanged letters with each other over the years. From the letters, Dongfang Yunfu found that although Shen was old, his ambition was still greater than thirty years ago. Therefore, in front of Shen Zhengyi, Dongfang Yunfu has patience. Compared with such a person who has endured for thirty years, what is his moment of waiting?

Shen always closed the book with both hands, as if he was the only one in the room at this moment, holding the "Zhuangzi" thickened by the passage of time with his left hand, and gently stroking the still soft paper with his right hand, and muttered to himself: "Zhuang Zhou has been alive for eighty-four years, and he has written more than 100,000 words in his life. I'm not 70 yet, and it's not hard to live another 20 years. Even if he doesn't live for 20 years, it is a happy thing to die at the same age as Zhuang Zhou. He mentioned life and death so calmly, with this calmness, how many people in the world can be opposed?

Shen Yi put down the book, raised his head and looked at Dongfang Yunfu and said, "Although you and I have been friends for so many years, I have never done a single thing for you. So it was, and so it will be. You should know that although I am a vicious person and arbitrary in power, I have my own insistence on the affairs of my family and country. ”

Li Dai didn't know what he meant when he heard this, but he found that Dongfang Yunfu raised his eyebrows and nodded.

"Although I am greedy for power, I will not do anything to sell my country to seek glory even if I die! I remember that when I was poor, you gave money and wealth, and as long as the country was not too presumptuous, I would turn a blind eye. Shen had always stared at Dongfang Yunfu, but the old man burst out with infinite momentum.

When Li Dai heard about the kingdom of Wa, he was shocked and didn't dare to think about it further. Dongfang Yunfu was depressed in his chest, but he rarely endured it.

"But if the Japanese country dares to offend my rivers and mountains one day, even if I fight for this old life, I will take the head of the Toyoda Hideyoshi!" As soon as Shen Yi's words came out, Li Dai's clothes were soaked in an instant.

Although Shen Yi was not a martial arts master, and he didn't even know how to move a style, Dongfang Yunfu felt very pressured in front of him. Then I heard him say, "I have never liked to owe favors, and you have never begged me all these years." This time, I found out for you that the painter of the best painting gallery in the capital, Qin Xiangniao, has a very good relationship with Qi Chu, and Qin's wife was seized in the palace a few years ago. He has a deep relationship with his husband and wife, and you can start from here to find a way to deal with Qi Chu. ”

Dongfang Yunfu's eyes lit up, "Thank you." Shen Zhengyi's words just now made him angry, but he has always regarded Shen Zheng as a confidant for many years. Now that Shen has always told him such an important piece of news, it is natural to say thank you.

Shen Yi said to Li Dai again: "Let Mr. Dongfang live in your mansion for the next few days, and I will make up all their expenses for you." ”

When Li Dai heard this, he dared not agree, and said respectfully: "If the elder says that he will make up for my expenses, it will really slap me in the face!"

Shen Yi nodded and said, "You have to do your best to help with Mr. Dongfang's affairs." As for your grievances with Long Qilei, today I promise you that sooner or later, one day will speak for you. ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Dai was really grateful and not enough to express his gratitude, and he thought that he could get rid of Long Qilei, the thorn in his side, and it was worth taking some risks to let Mr. Dongfang live in the mansion. He knew that the elder of the pavilion was extremely committed to what he promised to others, and he would fulfill his promises no matter what. Li Dai was overjoyed in his heart and led Dongfang Yunfu out of the door.

Suddenly, Shen Yi said behind him: "After this matter is done, you and I will not meet again." ”

Dongfang Yunfu's body was shocked, he turned around suddenly, his eyes met, and his thirty-year friendship collapsed in an instant. In fact, he had known that this would be the result, but he didn't expect it to be today.

The door opened, and a faint morning light drifted in, like the wind, swimming around the roof of the house, and then clinging to Shen's usual sideburns.

"Take care" Dongfang Yunfu only said two words, but he did his best.

Shen's eyes were red, and these two words brought him back to the days when he could only rely on drinking fruit thirty years ago. At that time, life was extremely difficult, but fortunately, with the help of Dongfang Yunfu, he did not starve to death.

Sometimes even if you have big ambitions, you have to bow your head in front of life, and when you can only achieve your ideals by living, dignity is not so important. Just when Shen always wanted to give up his dignity and bow his head for help, Dongfang Yunfu sent him money that could make him worry about food and clothing for ten years. This also allowed Shen to keep his last dignity, so he has been grateful to Dongfang Yunfu all these years.

However, the Dragon City of the East China Sea secretly colluded with the Wa Kingdom, and although Shen had always been arrogant in his power, as he said, it was never possible to compromise on the affairs of the family and the country!

Not to mention letting him give up Dongfang Yunfu, a friend, even if he let this old man go into battle to kill the enemy one day, he will never retreat knowing that he is dead!

Despite this, in the eyes of everyone, he is still the ruthless person. But he doesn't care about other people's opinions, because he is Shen Zheng.

The Shen who can endure what ordinary people can't bear!
