King Ximing finally decided to move back to a building called "Feng Pavilion" not far from the dormitory, because it was the closest to his master.

It was pitch black all around the Feng Pavilion, except for one room with dim candlelight.

King Ximing frowned, took the bamboo slip on the case and put it away, this was the fifteenth time he had seen this bamboo slip tonight, but let him look at it many times, he didn't know what it meant.

The rest of the four people in the hall were all extraordinary people, and they didn't say a word at the moment.

The first seat on the left is a sixty-year-old minister, named Yang Fang, who worships the Ministry of Works. Although this person is an old minister, he is the person with the highest stroke and the most powerful among the old ministers.

Sitting next to him is Shang Shuling, this person is nearly fifty years old, although the age is indeed not young, but as Shang Shuling, he is already young and promising.

Yu Heng is a resourceful person, and for more than ten years, he has painstakingly tried to find a balance between the old and new courtiers, and although King Ximing did not say it on the surface, he was secretly very grateful to him.

The two people on the right are relatively young, one is the henchman of King Ximing, Yang Wenkuan, the commander of the Iron Army, and the other is Lu Zhanzhi, the squire of the military department.

Lu Zhanzhi has always been responsible for the eastward expansion of the Western Ming Kingdom, this person has the talent of the heavens and the earth, and his intentions are far-reaching, and he is deeply loved by the King of the Western Ming, and people have called him "Ziliang". However, because he strongly advocated the policy of advancing eastward, King Ximing was promoted several times by a group of old ministers, and he is still in the position of a "squire", but the future is bright and ambitious.

King Ximing rubbed his forehead, "The five of us are unusual, but at this moment, I am rarely speechless by these eight words, and it won't make the world laugh at it!"

"Your Majesty, according to the old minister's opinion, there may be two possibilities why these eight characters are difficult to understand. It was Yang Fang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, who spoke.

"Yang Shangshu, please speak clearly. ”

The first possibility is that these eight words do have a deep meaning, but the ministers have not yet solved them. The second possibility" Yang Fang deliberately stopped at this point, "What if these eight words themselves are meaningless?"

As soon as these words came out of the house, they could be heard in an instant, if these eight words were really meaningless...... , then they were put on a side.

Yang Wenkuan stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, what Yang Shangshu said is not unreasonable, rather than a few of us guessing blindly here, it is better to let the ministers arrest the person who wrote the book and ask for an understanding." ”

Yu Heng waved his hand: "What Commander Yang said is indeed the most direct way, but the king asked about the identity of this person

Master Shi did not say it directly, so it seems that the master may have a good relationship with this person, and it may be inappropriate to rashly use swords. ”

"So what the hell is going to do about this?"

For a while, everyone couldn't make up their minds.

King Ximing glanced around and saw a few people in a mess, only Lu Zhanzhi pondered beside him without saying a word, and he didn't know if he thought of anything.

In a fit of rage, King Ximing pouted the bamboo slip on the case into two pieces and threw it on the ground.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand it, it's a big deal that I'll be cheeky and ask the master tomorrow. ”

......

......

On the couch, King Ximing tossed and turned, and kept thinking about those eight words in his heart.

"Why is the king so troubled that he can't sleep all night?"

King Ximing sighed, "Alas, I'm not afraid of concubine jokes, tonight I summoned Ziliang, Wen Kuan, Yuheng, and Yang Fang to solve the eight words, but even I was speechless by these eight words." ”

"These people said by the king are enough to represent all the wisdom of our Ximing Kingdom, and they can't solve the eight words, which means that these eight words may not be solved at all. ”

Yang Fan also thinks so, but Gu doesn't think so. ”

"What did the soldier say?"

Ziliang didn't say a word. ”

"The king might as well say these eight words, and let the concubines try to solve them!"

King Ximing laughed, "I can't solve it with the smartest people in Ximing Kingdom, but you have a big heart." ”

"King, just say it, anyway, it's not a shame that the concubines can't be solved. ”

King Ximing thought about it, and it was not a big deal to talk about it.

"These eight words are 'know yourself and know your opponent, and then benefit', you may want to understand?"

The princess thought for a while, and suddenly said "um", "I don't understand." ”

Her "um" deliberately dragged on for a long time, arousing the interest of King Ximing, making him mistakenly think that she had come up with something, but she came to "don't understand" again, and wanted to make a joke with King Ximing to relieve him of his sorrows, but before King Ximing could react, she laughed first.

"Wow, Chuhe, you dare to play this king. Saying that, King Ximing pounced on her, and the two of them quarreled on the couch.

After making trouble for a while, Chu He begged for mercy before King Ximing let her go,

The two of them lay down on the couch panting.

King Ximing calmed down and said: "This 'knowing oneself and knowing the other' is not difficult to understand, I think it is to say the attitude of the courtiers towards this matter, so that Gu can see which ministers in the Qing Dynasty have fallen to Pang Zhongshi." ”

"But 'the same and then the benefit' is a bit puzzling. ”

"It's not easy to do, so just let this person offer advice and solve these troubles for the king?"

"Haha, Concubine Ai said to let this person give advice...... King Ximing's words stopped abruptly, stopped for a few seconds as if he had an epiphany, got up without saying a word, put on a dress and walked out, and ignored the princess's shouts, only said "Don't follow anyone".

King Ximing came to the room where he was discussing with several people, and pushed open the door with one hand, but saw a figure lying on the ground with a candle flame looking for something.

The man heard the door being pushed open, stood up and looked at the door, the candle in his hand illuminated his face red, it was not Ziliang.

King Ximing flashed in and said excitedly: "Ziliang, have you figured it out too?"

Lu Zhanzhi smiled slightly: "It seems that the king has also figured it out." ”

"Originally, I didn't believe that I had figured it out, but now that I see Ziliang here, I can't be wrong. ”

It was not easy for a gentleman and a minister to find the two bamboo slips, and the two of them didn't care about the coldness on the ground, and they sat on the ground without the appearance of a monarch and a minister.

"Ziliang, tell me your opinion. ”

Lu Zhanzhi said with a smile: "You might as well let the king say it first." ”

King Ximing said: "There is no need to say the words 'knowing oneself and knowing one's, and 'benefiting from the same and then benefiting' should be to think about 'strategy'." ”

"It seems that the minister and the king want to go together, so they only need to think about the 'same'. ”

"Don't be in a hurry, now that you have identified the direction, as long as you move forward, you can always reach the goal. ”

"The person who writes Jane can see the situation in my court very well, and his insight is quite profound, and his strategy is not inferior to anyone. Lu Zhanzhi thought for a while, "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know whether to say anything or not. ”

"Ziliang, I, you are no better than ordinary monarchs and ministers, you have something to say. ”

This person's vision is clearly evident from this, and his insight into the world is also top-notch, and this person is like a hundred thousand people. If it cannot be used, it must not be given up to another country. ”

King Ximing groaned slightly, "Ziliang's words are forgotten." ”
