Zhou Jie nodded slightly, and smiled indifferently: "Li Yi?" Well! No need to be polite, sit down! ”

Li Yi took off his robe, leaned over and sat on the Taishi chair on the left, and said respectfully: "The younger generation has not been able to come to see Ah Weng when he returned to Beijing for more than a month, which is really rude, please forgive Ah Weng!" ”

When Zhou Jie heard this, Shou Mei raised slightly, nodded and said: "I am an old guy who is in his old age, and his legs and feet are not dexterous, and he has long been out of the world. You young people are in a good time of vitality, and you should be moving forward, so why bother with such idleness for old decay! Well! Keming, don't hurry up and serve tea to the guests. When Zhou Keming heard this, he hurriedly agreed.

Zhou Jie waited for Zhou Keming to go away, turned to Li Yi and said: "Since the beginning of old age, the Zhou family has been four generations of single generations, the people are thin, and the cigarettes are not prosperous, this is the so-called fate destined by God!" ”

Li Yi hurriedly said: "Brother Keming is still very young, of course there is an opportunity, over time, he will definitely be able to give Ah Weng a few more great-grandchildren, and the Zhou family will definitely be able to carry forward." ”

Although he said that, he couldn't help muttering to himself in his heart, the old man seemed to be quite worried about the future of the Zhou family! Hehe! This kind of worry is a bit unnecessary!

You must know that Zhou Keming is still a few months younger than himself, he already has a son before, and he has not yet taken a concubine, so it is not easy to have a few more. What's more, a few days ago, King Qin sent a Persian beauty to him, Persian women are easy to give birth to, and it will probably not take a few years for children to have a group.

Zhou Jie probably saw through Li Yi's thoughts, shook his head slightly and smiled: "The fate of the Zhou family is like this, this is the will of heaven and cannot be changed. Even if he has a group of wives and concubines, it can't change his destined fate, but it will bring an indefinite danger to his future fate. ”

"The old man has been immersed in the stars for decades, which can be said to be a deep way of heaven, the so-called cycle of heavenly principles, endless, everything in the world is along this chain of fate, and the cycle will never stop."

"Alas! People are the primates of all things, and they can't get rid of the shackles of fate, and they can't turn things around unless they have great wisdom, courage, and determination. Speaking of the present, in terms of Keming's ability, it is not easy to surrender himself. ”

Li Yi listened quietly, this kind of truth has long been familiar, the saying of heaven seems to be reasonable, it seems to be invisible, and there is always its law. Moreover, this law, as big as the prosperity of the country, the honor and disgrace of individuals, as well as the growth, birth, old age, sickness and death of all things, always plays a subtle role in it.

Just like a person who never cherishes his body, acting willfully not only causes great damage to the internal organs, but may even accelerate the end of life. Everyone understands this truth, and most people are not unaware of it, but prefer to indulge themselves, to pursue the joy and happiness of that moment, and to hold a self-deceptive fantasy about the distant and unknowable future, and there will be no turning back until the evil consequences are not manifested in front of them.

For myself, why don't I be like this, I was brought here by the wheel of fate, and I just wanted to save my life, and I never thought about changing anything, because this stems from my understanding of my own ability, and I can only think of this step.

At this time, Zhou Keming brought the tea and put it in front of Li Yi and Zhou Jie, and then sat cross-legged on a futon opposite.

Zhou Jie smiled and said: "Following the rules and following the steps is Keming's biggest advantage." But if you put it mildly, people like you are also the least creative kind of people. ”

"Huh! You may be a little unconvinced when I say this, but you must also know that since ancient times, the so-called great good and great evil people have all been mavericks, and they often do things unexpectedly, some are hard and persevering, and some behave perversely, and so on. In the distance, Wang Mang of the new Han Dynasty is a clear example. ”

"You must know that Wang Mang was born in a noble family, his family is illustrious, and his aunt Wang Zhengjun is the queen of the dynasty, and the Wang family has nine marquises, five of whom served as the Great Sima, and is the most noble family in the Western Han Dynasty. Most of the people in the clan are generals and marquis, who live extravagantly, and compare themselves with each other. ”

"Wang Mang is the only one who is pure, lives a simple life, is humble, and is diligent and studious. Even if Wang Mang was in a high position in the future, he never respected himself, he was always courteous and virtuous, honest and frugal, often distributed his money to doormen and commoners, sold carriages to help the poor, and was deeply loved by the people. ”

Even when his second son Wang Shu killed the house slave, Wang Mang did not tolerate it, but forced Wang Shu to commit suicide, which was unanimously praised by the world. Almost all of the outliers in this family became moral models at the time, and soon became famous, and they were called 'saints' by the people of the time. ”

And when Wang Mang cut off political enemies and other foreign relatives and held power, Wang Mang's true face was exposed. Wang Mang accepted the title of "Duke of An Han" after pretending to resign repeatedly, and obtained the power to oversee the government, so he began to take the opportunity to eradicate dissidents, cultivate descendant forces, and finally grasp the power of the court. ”

Zhou Jie followed: "Although Wang Mang was in the limelight at that time, you also know what happened to Wang Mang, in the end, he betrayed his relatives and was killed by a businessman, and his body hung in the downtown area, and was spurned by the people. ”

"Alas! Speaking of which, although this Wang Mang is a traitor, he really wants to do something for the people, but he is a little hasty, and the measures he takes are a bit unrealistic, purely bookish. In addition, he is self-righteous and never accepts other people's advice, so it is inevitable to live and die quickly! ”

Li Yi nodded and said: "What Ah Weng said is that although Wang Mang has done everything to control the government, his starting point is just to let the country go down the path he envisioned. He not only wanted to return the country to the ideal state of the Zhou Dynasty, but also imagined an unrealistic world harmony. ”

In addition, he looked down on the surrounding ethnic minorities, repeatedly lowered the level of the surrounding vassal states that were subject to the central government, and did his best to insult and mock him, which aroused the monstrous anger of the surrounding barbarians. When the Central Plains was in flames and the war was spreading, none of the vassal states came to the rescue, but most of them did things that fell into the ground. Wang Mang couldn't defeat it quickly. ”

Zhou Jie smiled and nodded: "You can teach!" Hehe! Runzhi's opinion coincides with the old man. I just don't know how much you know about astrology? ”

Li Yi said honestly: "Li Yi doesn't know anything about this. ”
