Chapter 19: Words
When Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling heard the news that Meng Zhi was leaving, they didn't believe it, so they came to find Meng Zhi together, and when they saw that he was sorting out things, Kou Zhong said, "Master, are you leaving?"
Meng Wei nodded, the two were silent for a moment, and Xu Ziling asked, "Why did you leave in such a hurry?"
"This time Jingling was besieged, has the strength of the Pegasus Ranch, it is difficult to rescue, will go back to ask for help to others, the first to bear the brunt, Li Valve, if the Li Valve rescues successfully, the Pegasus Ranch will belong to the Li Valve in the future, Li Xiuning came to the ranch is only afraid that he Li Valve needs the ranch! When the four Kou surrounded the ranch, Xiao Zhong went to rescue Li Xiuning and his party, if I did not solve the four Kou, Li Xiuning would definitely lead troops to help, won the favor of Shang Xiuxun, but was destroyed by me, and now Du Fuwei besieged Jingling Li Valve will definitely come, maybe he is already on the way. Xiao Zhong, if you fight for world domination in the future, Li Valve will definitely be the number one enemy! If you let him get the Pegasus Ranch, think about it yourself!"
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were silent, the two had come into contact with Li Valve, indeed, Li Valve's strength was strong, and the second son, Li Shimin, was even more of a masterpiece in the world! If it weren't for his desire to dominate the world, he would have already taken refuge in Li Valve.
Meng Wei said again: "I guess you two have seen Li Shimin, right?"
Xu Ziling nodded and said: "Li Shimin, a masterpiece in the world, broad-minded, benevolent, righteous and moral, and has the world in mind, if he is the emperor, he will be a generation of saints." ”
Meng Zhi said lightly: "Oh, listen to your tone, my heart is to Li Valve." ”
Xu Ziling didn't deny it, but didn't speak.
"Whose world is it today?"
Xu Ziling said: "The master said that it is the people's world. ”
"So, who should rule the world?"
"It's the people. ”
"Then who can Li Valve represent? Does he represent the common people? They have been gate lords for generations, and they are all scholars, so how can they know what the people want? Even the great rule is just a fleeting cloud, fleeting, what was the case of Emperor Jian of the Sui Dynasty? What is the great Sui Dynasty today? Think about it! The reason why the gate valve can govern the country is not because of the people, but because of the imperial arts! It is precisely because of this that it is difficult to last long. Meng Zhi saw that Xu Ziling's heart seemed to be biased towards Li Valve, and he couldn't help but be furious.
"Throughout the history of China, apart from the three emperors and the five emperors, who really knows what the people need? Who really understands the common people? This is true of Qin Shi Huang, this is the case of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, this is the case of Emperor Jian of Sui, and the same is true of him Li Shimin in the future! If he does not really live among the people, who knows what the people want? Let me ask you, has Li Shimin ever been a flat-headed common man?"
"Nope. ”
"You and Kou Zhong are both people. Do you know what the people need?"
"Yes. ”
"What is needed?"
"We just want to eat well, sleep well, and live a decent life!" Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong shouted, "We want a stable life, we want fields, we don't pay taxes and miscellaneous taxes, we just want to see our family happy!"
Meng Nao said: "Okay, you guys go out, I hope that the next time I see you, the Pegasus Ranch is already yours." ”
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other and left the room.
"I heard what you just said. Shan Wanjing walked in through the door, "Do you want to compete for the world?"
Meng shook his head.
"Then why do you say that?"
Meng Wei said slowly: "Once, I was not enthusiastic about the world, what did the people of the world care about me? How could I have the leisure time to take care of this and that? Until one day, I met one of the few friends in my life, Guo Jing. A man who dared to be the first in the world, it was he who let me know what it means to be a chivalrous man, for the country and the people! He guarded the city of Xiangyang, and when the city was finally broken, I went to save him, and I said, 'Come with me!' The Mongols are coming. He tidied up his appearance, put on a brand-new military uniform, and said lightly: "Big brother, no need, you can go! I have been guarding Xiangyang for more than ten years, and I can't leave here for a long time, and this is my home! Rather than living in the world, it is better to go with it." I asked, 'Is it worth it?' and he said categorically, 'It's worth it!' because I'm Guo Jing, big brother, can you promise me anything?' I replied, 'Yes!' and he said, 'If in the future, when you see the people displaced and miserable, can you stretch out your cold hand?' He said, 'That's it, that's it.' From now on, we will break off righteousness. I was stunned for a moment, and when I came back to my senses, he had died of his own veins, and my brother and sister had gone with him, and since then, the nieces and nephews have not spoken to me until now. I thought a lot, maybe I did something wrong, and since then, I have secretly sworn that if I don't stretch out my hand, I will not be a human being!"
Shan Wanjing suddenly felt that a tear seemed to flow from her eyes, it was so hot, it was so shimmering. He never seemed to have really understood this man, maybe what he needed was someone to talk to! Shan Wanjing remembered that she was angry and left Meng Nao that day, and she still resented him, and suddenly found that she was so regretful and hateful.
Shan Wanjing gently hugged Meng Zhi into her arms and said, "Never again." In the future, ......" said in a voice that only he could hear, "I am with you!"
Outside the Pegasus Ranch.
"Master, goodbye!" Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling shouted as they looked at Meng Nan, who was slowly leaving in the sunlight in front of them, "We will definitely not let you down." ”
"Are you going to go like this?" asked Shan Wanjing.
"If you don't go like this, do you need to fly?" Meng Wei pulled Shan Wanjing's hand vigorously, "Isn't there still you with me?"
Shan Wanjing's cheeks suddenly flushed, she was cute, and she said in a tangled way: "What are you doing!?"
Meng Wei smiled and said, "Didn't you say to accompany me?"
"Ah...... no, I ...... I didn't say it. ”
"Okay! ”
Kou Zhong said to Xu Ziling: "Ling Shao, it seems that we will have another master in the future." ”
Xu Ziling was surprised: "What do you call again?"
"Have you forgotten your mother?" Kou Zhong patted Xu Ziling on the shoulder, and glanced at Shang Xiuxun, "I don't know when someone will get what they want!"
Xu Ziling clasped his backhand, patted Kou Zhong hard, and said hurriedly: "What are you talking nonsense?"
"Someone is a thief!"
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were playing on the side, but they didn't notice that Shang Xiuxun's face was also flushed.
On the banks of the Yangtze River.
Meng Nao looked around, as if waiting for something, Shan Wanjing felt bored for a while, so she took off her shoes, sat on the bank, and stretched her feet into the water of the Yangtze River, rippling non-stop.
In the mist, a ship broke through the wind, and the wild waves beat vigorously on the river, and on the boat, soldiers wearing black armor and holding several feet long lance stood like sculptures, and the sails were written "Li".
Meng Wei said softly: "It's finally here, let's go." ”
Shan Wanjing wondered, "Where to go?"
"The port in front. ”
Liu Xiuning stood on the deck, but his heart wandered out of the world, thinking of Kou Zhong, the only man who made himself cry, when he was under siege, he came to rescue himself desperately, and thought of the heroic words in the kitchen that day, perhaps, Kou Zhong will become Li Valve's opponent or ally in the future?
"Xiuning, what are you thinking?" A warm voice like jade came from behind, followed by a pair of slightly silky hands holding his own Yi, and the person who came was indeed Li Xiuning's husband, Jun Chai Shao.
Li Xiuning's heart was warm, but he didn't feel much, although this man was very good to him, but he was always missing something? Silently shaking his head, Li Xiuning looked at the port in the distance, and found that there were two people standing in the port, and when he looked at it, he was blind, and hurriedly said: "Husband, you are optimistic about these two people, I will go to the cabin to find the second brother." ”
Chai Shao said: "Well, you can go." ”
A moment later, the ship slowly sailed towards the harbor.
Meng Nao and Shan Wanjing stood on the dock, watching the big ship stop in front of them, and then a young man with a face like a crown of jade, eight feet tall, and holding a folding fan appeared on the steps of the big ship, bent down and said humbly: "Under Li Shimin, meet Mr. Meng!"
Although he has seen many historical figures, when he saw Li Shimin, Meng Wei couldn't help but look at it twice, a second son of Li Valve, a slightly square, white jade face dotted with two eyes like stars, that is, deep, and so bright. Dressed in plain clothes made of silk, wearing a pair of white boots, wearing a flowing cloud and a hundred blessings at his waist, transparent and shiny and soft, holding a folding fan, although he looks like a noble son, but it shows an indescribable brave atmosphere.
Meng Wei sighed slightly in his heart, I am afraid that Kou Zhong will be difficult to compare! He is worthy of being the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the first emperor of the ages, and he must not be underestimated, he must be a very human being!
Meng Wei clasped his hands into fists and said, "I've seen the second son, I'm just a cloth cloth, so what?"
Li Shimin said softly: "Mr. Meng's reputation is far and wide, and he has heard of it from far and near, how can he be a cloth cloth? If he is born, it must be Zhuge Liang, and it is difficult to compare." ”
Meng Yuan's heart moved, and said: "It's just a scattered person in the next river, how can I compare with the prime minister of Kuang Shu Han, besides, I am an overseas person, and I may have to leave in the future." ”
"Mr. has the talent to help the world, if he goes into hiding, isn't it a waste of his ability? And the ancients often said: Self-cultivation Qi family rules the country and the world, and Mr. is willing to live a mediocre life?"
said in a good way, if he was born and raised here, he might have to submit to Li Valve when he met Li Shimin!
Meng Xuan smiled and said: "The second son is wrong, self-cultivation Qi family ruling the country and leveling the world is Confucianism, but he is a Taoist person in the lower realm, believing in the way of inaction and leisure. ”
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "It's Shimin's mistake, where is Mr. going? Why don't you go to the ship?"
"I want to go to Luoyang, so I'll be bothering the second son in the past few days. ”
"Sir is a guest of the people, and the people are too happy to be happy, so can you disturb?" Then he turned his head and said to the servant, "Go and prepare a table of wine, and invite Mr. Meng to a banquet tonight." ”
Meng Zhi said: "It's just a ride, so you don't need this banquet, right?"
Li Shimin was about to refute, but Shan Wanjing next to him shouted: "There is something to eat, why don't you eat it?" Thank you to the second son. ”
Meng Zhi smiled bitterly: "That...... It's troublesome for the second son. ”
Li Shimin was amazed in his heart that this woman was beautiful, and he listened to her words, and understood at the moment, and secretly thought: It seems that you have to start from here.
