Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Black Sheep
The way of kings?
After hearing this question, Liu Ruoshui actually had a question of wanting to laugh.
The topic is somewhat big, and even a question that shouldn't come up.
If you think about it, you should be able to imagine what kind of people are qualified to ask this question and what kind of people can answer it.
Although she is the best heir of Shifei Xuan and the best successor in the history of Cihang Jingzhai, she is not qualified to talk about this issue.
Therefore, her question is indeed extremely funny.
Since Concubine Xuan wants to choose the "Lord of the World" with Shibi, she naturally will not ignore Liu Ruoshui. Therefore, she will find Liu Ruoshui sooner or later.
It's just that she is looking for Liu Ruoshui now, but it is a bit too coincidental.
Although Liu Ruoshui didn't laugh out loud, he also said in a slightly playful tone, "You really want to know about this question?"
She didn't get angry at Liu Ruoshui's tone, she really said seriously, "I hope to teach!"
After hearing her serious tone, Liu Ruoshui couldn't help but look up to her a few points, and couldn't help but look at her.
Although Concubine Xuan was wearing a black robe at this time, people couldn't see her true appearance, but just her figure covered under the black robe looked slender and elegant, revealing an elegant and chic smell, and her hair in a scribe's bun was black and shiny, which was very attractive.
But the most attractive thing is her eyes, her eyes that are almost free of any impurities.
Dugufeng can guess her identity, let alone Liu Ruoshui. It is precisely because of knowing her identity that Liu Ruoshui will inevitably be a little disgusted. After all. What she and her sect have done is indeed unpopular.
But just look at this pair of eyes. Liu Ruoshui knew in her heart that her judgment was indeed a little preconceived. Just by looking at her pair of clear and pure, baby-like eyes, you can know who she is.
For a while, Liu Ruoshui couldn't help but think of the "art of knowing people" taught by his master, the great Confucian Wang Yangming.
Liu Ruoshui knew that his master Wang Yangming did not want to be in the rivers and lakes, but wanted to be in the court. After all, a great Confucian like Wang Yangming has "worries about the world" in his heart. The idea of joy and happiness in the world after tomorrow", so the things he handed over to Liu Ruoshui, in addition to "heart learning", the most is the kind of "learning" that can be used in officialdom.
The art of matching people sounds unfathomable, but to put it bluntly, it is just to judge a person's mental nature by observing a person's expression, movements, reactions, and all kinds of details.
Among them, Wang Yangming once told Liu Ruoshui an interesting knowledge, that is, how to identify "corrupt officials".
According to Wang Yangming. Corrupt officials and traitors are divided into three classes in general, and the classification of grades has nothing to do with status, but only in the heart and realm.
Thereinto. The lowest corrupt officials and traitors do not recognize the crisis, nor do they know how long it lasts. only knows that blindly greedy for money and power, and can only see the immediate benefits. Doing things often goes too far and doesn't know how to restrain them, and it will never end well.
Such corrupt officials and traitors. The eyes are mostly treacherous and ruthless.
Medium-sized corrupt officials and traitors will be driven by power or wealth or the situation, and they will be unable to stop, but they know the crisis, know the long-term, and know how to restrain themselves, and often although they are corrupt and bribery, they can still do some face-saving work to gain a good reputation for themselves, and they are also cautious and cautious in doing things. Such corrupt officials are extremely difficult to deal with, and there are many people who have done all the bad things but praise the world.
Such corrupt officials and traitors have gloomy and introverted eyes.
As for the most high-ranking corrupt officials and traitors, they are no longer bound by power or wealth, nor are they bound by good and evil, right and wrong, and they already have their own ideas and goals in their hearts, whether they are corrupt and pervert the law, or they form a party for personal gain, they are only one way for them to achieve their goals, and if they become famous, they will be passed down through the ages, and if they fail, they will implicate the nine clans! In fact, such corrupt officials and traitors can no longer be defined by corrupt officials and traitors, and Wang Mang, Li Linfu, and Cai Jingjing can be classified into this category.
The eyes of such a corrupt official will be clear and sincere.
Because, such corrupt officials and traitors have reached the point where they are not confused by the sense of accomplishment when they do good deeds, and they are not bothered by a sense of self-blame when they do bad things.
The ancients said that the great traitor seems to be loyal, referring to this kind of corrupt officials and traitors.
Although Liu Ruoshui also knew that Concubine Xuan had never been in the court, what she did was actually no different from that of a politician, and it was precisely because of this that Liu Ruoshui was a little disgusted with her.
However, seeing Concubine Xuan's eyes, Liu Ruoshui suddenly understood in her heart that although her actions were indeed a little disgusting, her heart was probably really "for the people of the world", and it was precisely because of this that she had such eyes.
No matter how many games there are behind the matter, Concubine Xuan's choice of Li Shimin as the lord of the world is definitely her heartfelt choice, and there is no trace of falsehood.
Such people, although annoying, at least are not disgusting.
So, Liu Ruoshui's tone couldn't help but be gentle, and said with a straight face, "I really don't understand the way of the king." There is a good saying, 'not in his position, not in his government', I am actually not the Son of Heaven, so naturally I can't say the way to be a king. If you're asking about the way of the princes, then I know a little bit. If I could tell me why I asked this question, I would be able to say what I thought. ”
She said calmly: "I have always done whatever I wanted, and I rarely bothered to think about why I should do it. You already occupy most of Jingzhou, and you are the first prince in the south. According to the current form, you can capture Luoyang and dominate the world. China can capture Jiangdu, divide the south, and even get Bashu at the worst, and create a Shu Han. If the manager says that he doesn't know how to be a king, then he is really deceiving me?"
Liu Rushui thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled.
I only heard Liu Ruoshui say, "The way to be a king is indeed too big, why don't I tell you a story." Once, the Yellow Emperor wanted to go to Guci Mountain to meet the sage Dakui. But when they came to the Xiangcheng Plain, they lost their way, and all the seven sages were lost, and they could not find a single one to guide them.
Then. They happened to meet a child who was herding horses, so they asked him, "Do you know where the Guci Mountain is?"
The child said, "Of course I do." ”
"So do you know where Da Kui lives?"
The boy said, "Yes."
The Yellow Emperor said, "This kid is really amazing. Not only did he know about Guci Mountain, but he also knew where Dakui lived. Then I ask you. Do you know how to govern the world?"
The child refuses to speak. The Yellow Emperor continued to ask.
The child said: "Governing the world is like inviting you to travel in the wilderness, just move forward, don't make trouble out of nothing, and make political affairs too complicated." I have traveled in the world for the past few years, and I often suffer from dizziness. An elder taught me, "You should take the sunshine chariot and invite you to swim in the wilderness of Xiangcheng and forget everything in the world." Now that my problems have healed, I am about to start swimming in the middle of nowhere. The same should be true of how the world should be governed. I don't think I need to say anything. ”
The Yellow Emperor said: "What you said is too vague, how should we govern the world?"
"What is the difference between ruling the world and letting me let the horses go? ”
Concubine Xuan was silent after listening for a while, and then said, "I see, please advise!"
After that, Concubine Xuan took two steps forward seemingly casually, and a fierce momentum surged up, covering Liu Ruoshui to death.
Then I only heard the sound of "Qiang", and the sword that was originally inserted back into the scabbard by her was unsheathed again, and there was an indestructible sword aura. Spit out from the blade of the sword, piercing the air, and attacking Liu Ruoshui.
In fact, she didn't want to fight Liu Ruoshui. But she had to take action, because she knew that when Liu Ruoshui finished telling that story. The murderous intent on Liu Ruoshui's body was also awe-inspiring to the extreme.
She knows that Liu Ruoshui is not only talking about "the way to be a king". And their own position.
The "black sheep" in the story refers to none other than herself.
But. She doesn't think she's the "black sheep," and she doesn't think she deserves to be kicked out.
Therefore, she made a move, because if she didn't make the first move, Liu Ruoshui would probably have to make the first move.
Cihang Jingzhai's information
If Liu Ruoshui is allowed to seize the opportunity, she may not have the slightest way out.
What's worse is that even if she seizes the opportunity, she may not have a way to live.
Despite this, she did not back down in the slightest.
Liu Ruoshui sighed, "Why bother?"
Although he sighed in his mouth, Liu Ruoshui's movements were not full, and after pulling out the spear behind his back, he shook out a spear flower and stabbed at her.
This shot, Liu Ruoshui used all his strength.
Seeing this shot, Dugu Feng on the side couldn't help but be shocked, because he smelled death from this shot.
Suddenly, the annoyance in Dugufeng's heart was swept away, because she already knew that Liu Ruoshui was merciful just now, and if it was really a real competition, she might not be Liu Ruoshui's enemy.
For a while, Dugu Feng had a hint of joy in his heart. She naturally knew who the one hidden under the black robe was, and what kind of beauty he was.
If she were a man, I am afraid that she would also be attracted to her, but Dugufeng is a woman as good as her. As a result, Dugufeng's heart will inevitably be a little hostile.
For the next scene, she actually had a feeling of impatience.
The ending did not surprise Dugufeng.
Dugufeng's strength is only between her and her, since Dugufeng thinks that she can't take this shot, she naturally can't do it.
Liu Ruoshui's heavy shot directly broke through her peerless sword momentum, and the body of the gun slammed into her chest.
She took five or six steps backwards before she could barely stop.
After she stood still, her body couldn't help but stumble again, and then spat out a large mouthful of blood from her mouth.
After spitting out this mouthful of blood, she spat out two more small mouthfuls of blood.
She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with a white gauze towel and said softly, "Thank you for your mercy." If the manager had just used a spear, Concubine Xuan might not be alive at this time. ”
Liu Ruoshui shook his head, and then said, "The spear is not an ordinary move, and I don't want to use it unless it is a last resort." I did use all my strength for that shot just now, and it is your ability to take this shot. ”
Then, Liu Ruoshui's voice gradually became a little cold, and said, "However, although you can take my first shot, can you still take the second shot?"
A wry smile appeared on her face and she said, "Naturally, it can't. ”
In order to take the shot just now, she paid a lot of price. She has been injured by the strength of the gun, and at most she can exert the strength of about six or seven layers in her heyday.
In this case, she naturally couldn't take Liu Ruoshui's second shot.
Liu Ruoshui said, "Since that's the case, then you can go." As long as you leave Luoyang, I won't trouble you. ”
Shi Fei Xuan didn't speak, but raised the color empty sword in her hand again.
After seeing that the concubine still insisted, Liu Ruoshui sighed and said, "Why bother?"
When Liu Ruoshui was about to start again, he suddenly heard a crisp bell.
"Dang!"
Liu Ruoshui turned around and found that it was a handsome monk in a monk's uniform wearing a yellow robe and a brown coat.
He has a slender and dashing figure, a straight nose, and a lot of personality. The curved curve of the upper lip and the slightly upturned lower lip give off a certain indescribable charm, embedded in his slender face, which is both very beautiful and leisurely. The lower collar is broad, and the beautiful face has a kind of transcendent and secular brilliance, and the demeanor is neither weak, nor is it domineering, but teaches people to look comfortable and natural.
The most memorable thing at first sight is his pair of deep and unfathomable eyes, which can make anyone born with an unfathomable depth and a heart that dare not be underestimated.
"Empty?"
After hearing this bell, Liu Ruoshui turned his gaze to him and said coldly.
Liu Ruoshui didn't hear the answer, but heard another bell.
Then, the concubine on the side said in a slightly apologetic voice, "Uncle Kong's cultivation is closed-mouthed meditation, so he can't speak, but he didn't deliberately neglect the manager. ”
Liu Ruoshui seemed to be casually speaking, "It's okay, the dead won't speak." ”
Concubine Xuan's face finally showed a hint of worry, and she said, "I don't know what Concubine Xuan did wrong to make the chief manager so hateful and regard Concubine Xuan as that black sheep?"
Liu Ruoshui said in a deep voice, "I did misunderstand you before, but I now know that you didn't do anything wrong. It's just that whether you do it wrong or not, the result is actually the same. Even if you are willing to hand over He's Bi to me, that's the same. ”
The senior concubine was silent for a moment, and then sighed, "I see, do you have to take the Heshi Bi from me?"
Liu Ruoshui said seriously, "This is nature. Something like He's Bi can be stolen, snatched, or picked up, but not delivered by you. ”
Then, Liu Ruoshui continued, "That's why I call you the black sheep." (To be continued.) )
