The eldest grandson smiled lately: "It is inconvenient for me and your sister-in-law to go back to Jiangnan." He is not very accustomed to the northern climate. Hence the thought of Sichuan. I felt a nice view when passing by here. So I found a place. A small house was formed near the water and settled down. ”

Chang Sihao glanced at the river outside the window. Nodding: "It's very quiet here." Shui Yanxiang brought a tray. Place the flask glasses, a plate of fennel beans and a plate of coleslaw on the table. smiled: "You drink first." Meat is simmering in a pot. Just a little bit. Li Shuangji's heart was overjoyed: "It's stewed so soon." Shui Yanxiang was stunned. Then I understood. Hide your smile and smile. Turning to her husband, she said, "I let him go." The eldest grandson nodded with a smile. Shui Yanxiang smiled: "Every few days in the future." He still brought wine as usual. But one of the barrels. but it is forfeited. The eldest grandson smiled and said, "You will be careful in your calculations." Ask him to buy one get one free. Shui Yanxiang said: "It's not easy to live. You men are generous. We do women's. I had to be careful. He smiled and turned away.

The eldest grandson smiled and saw Chang Sihao slightly stunned when he heard this. I don't seem to know what it means. Then he said: "Brother Xian smiled." Women's home. It's always a little stingy. Chang Sihao suddenly remembered the reason. smiled: "300,000 taels of silver are given away for nothing." It's me. I'm afraid that my flesh hurts every day. The eldest grandson laughed late. Chang Sihao said: "Big brother knows the current situation. ”

The eldest grandson's smile faded quickly. stretched out his palm and stopped: "Things on the rivers and lakes." Don't tell me again. As he spoke, he picked up the jug and poured him wine.

Chang Sihao didn't expect to be blocked as soon as he said a word. Reluctantly, he leaned forward: "Shen Lu is dead." ”

The eldest grandson smiled chi, and his eyes stiffened slightly. A little spill of the glass of noodle wine.

After a while. He recovered. Set aside the flask. Said slowly: "Boshan is in the process of expanding and growing in the Juhao Pavilion. After countless battles. It's a young generation leader who grew up side by side with me. Its planning is well-planned, the execution is effective, and the sincerity of the people. Look around the pavilion. No one else can beat it. Juhao Pavilion's situation today. He wasn't the one who contributed the most. But it's the most attentive one. He sighed softly. Pinch the cup. Sprinkle the wine on the floor.

Chang Sihao listened gloomily. "His death." I'm responsible. "At the moment, how to infiltrate Zhu Qing and Jiang Wan into the East Factory, how to use word measurement to imply and win himself over at the banquet, and how to fail to Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang. How did Shen Lu lead the Four Emperors to rescue the two. In the end, he died under Qin Juexiang's sword, and so on.

Finally, he said: "The emperor also has the heart to make great efforts. As long as the nine sides are stable. There is no dispute in the country. There is hope for the Ming Dynasty. The First Battle of Dongchang has fully exposed the problem of Juhao Pavilion. I can't hide it. Now the two old swordsmen, You Shengxian and Yan Lingyun, have reappeared in the rivers and lakes. Once he led the Gutian army to fight the uprising banner mutiny. The situation will be difficult to control. Eldest brother. You can't ignore this. ”

Look at his worried face. The eldest grandson smiled later. Fill the empty cup. Said: "How." You also want to put the hope of the Ming Dynasty. Like Hai Jui. Whose 'cheer up' is pinned on. ”

Chang Sihao shook his head: "The world is not his alone. It's not something he can manage alone. But as long as the domestic situation is stable. We can free up our hands to take down Xu Jie first. Then the New Deal was introduced. ”

The eldest grandson smiled and said, "New Deal." Is it Zheng Mengzhu's prescription for governing the country? Chang Sihao said: "Exactly." The eldest grandson smiled and said, "Brother." My brother may not speak very well. How much do you know about state politics? Zheng Mengzhu's thinking seems to be different from the change. Relatively mild. But in front of interests. No one can be gentle. How can the conservative forces allow you to divide the land and dismiss your tenant farmers? Officials who spent money to buy. How can you be willing to throw away because of poor assessment. As for the six ministries, the cabinet and other high-level officials. It's just because there's nothing to do. Mutual attack runs. Once business comes. They don't know how to do it, and they can't do it well. That's why it's 'pushing, dragging, pulling.'" Suppress the big things. Don't pay attention to the little things. Not big, not too big. Ambiguous. You have to clear the officialdom. Gentleness will not do. One changed to intense. It will cause a full-blown uproar and backlash. Hit one. And they came to the rescue of each other; And they were in a dead group. As the saying goes, don't blame the public. It's really chaotic, even if it's a god, there's no way to do it. Besides, you don't want chaos. ”

Chang Sihao was stunned when he heard it. "So. You have to follow Jiang Wan's method. ”

The eldest grandson smiled and said, "I thought this path was right. Later figured it out. I don't think so. Because no matter how the regime is rebuilt. It is still the people who are in power. In exchange for the imperial court. In exchange for officials. But it can't change human nature. The human heart is the most unstable thing. Especially with power. Conscience can also turn into ambition. Simplicity can also become greedy. So the world is rebuilt violently. It's still just a change of soup and not a change of medicine. ”

Chang Sihao had no idea for a while. muttered, "That...... So what to do. ”

The eldest grandson smiled lately: "You come to ask me." I don't have an answer. Since there is no answer. Why don't you 'let it go'. The world is too big. There are too many people. We're not immortals. Nor should there be a salvation mentality. Just take care of your life. It is to have an account of this life. ”

Chang Sihao lost his mind for a long time. Shook his head violently. "No," he said. That's what you're talking about. It's all predictions. Didn't actually do it. And how do you know the final result? Lord Zheng must have thought of this. But he still goes out of his way to do it. Because...... Because ......" his eyes kept rolling. I couldn't find good words in my eagerness.

The eldest grandson smiled and said: "Because things are man-made." ”

"Not bad. Chang Sihao said: "It's man-made." Because don't do it. I don't know if it's right or wrong. You never know how it will turn out. ”

The eldest grandson was silent for a long time.

Chang Sihao took out the thin book of "Getaway" from his arms. Buckle on the table and push it over. The eldest grandson smiled and looked at a small poem written on the back page. It is the handwriting of the liverless. Read "Why do you need a knapsack." If you want to, go on a long journey". I know what I know. I couldn't help but be stunned. Chang Sihao said: "Big brother." Look at the meaning of the poem. As you guessed. Three months ago, she had already left Xiyuan. Now he has probably become a wandering old man. Just live and walk between this vast world. She has no nurturing grace for you and me. But her love for her son. I believe you and I can feel it. You can bang your head on the ground in front of her old man. Call her a mother. It shows that you are also a person of affection, righteousness, flesh and blood. Zheng Mengzhu said. 'Man lives in this world where I am born and raised. I want to give the world a little bit back. Heaven and earth are my parents. The world is our home. We are indeed not immortals. But the gods only watched the suffering of the world and didn't care about it. Then this kind of immortal. It's not worth seeing. ”

The eldest grandson smiled chi, his eyes drooped. The light in the room dimmed. It made his face look as deep as an instant.

"Once upon a time. I'm not much different from you. But...... Alas......" he exhaled deeply. Look out the window at the dark clouds rolling in. Muttered, "It's raining again." "I looked at it for a while. Mind turned. said: "In fact, the general trend of the world is like this weather. Wind, rain, thunder and lightning. It's all usual. The celestial phase is not imposed by people. But there are always people who want to ask for wind and rain. People are always trying to change something. But at most, it's just a change of position and personality. The Grand Duke has no relatives. Where are the parents? The world is the same. Why bother. Each people has their own way of life. History rolls on. Why should you and I bother with it? Bring sand to the beach. ”

Chang Sihao frowned and waved his hand repeatedly: "You are too knowledgeable." The younger brother couldn't understand what he said. I knew I was thirsty and hungry. When you have something to eat, your heart is happy. I still know. There are still many people in the world who have no fish to fight. There is no land to plant. I just want them to have fish and land. There is food to eat. That's not an overstatement. But now the question is. Juhao Pavilion wants to start an incident in the south of the Yangtze River. Their own people beat their own people. Not to mention the serious internal friction. It will also attract Tibet, the barbarians, the Tatars, and the Warats to attack together. That's a joke. ”

The eldest grandson Xiaochi asked, "How do you know that Juhao Pavilion is going to cause trouble." Chang Sihao said: "Do you need to say this?" You old swordsman and Yan old swordsman reappeared in the rivers and lakes. And bring people to Near Beijing...... Hey. He suddenly sensed something was wrong. "What do you mean by that?" The eldest grandson smiled and said unhurriedly: "You would think so." It's because you don't know anything about the old swordsman at all. Opposite. There is an old man out of the mountain. I am afraid that the situation will stabilize. Chang Sihao wondered: "Why is that?" ”

Shui Yan Xiang brought the dishes. The eldest grandson, Xiaochi, helped put the plate on the table. Said: "Xiaoxiang." Come along. "I just remembered when I stretched out my hand. There are only two wicker chairs in the room. He sat with Chang Sihao. There's no place for her. Shui Yanxiang smiled: "You said yours." I pooped on the side. He lifted the pot. Chang Sihao was full of wine and said, "Uncle, please." Seeing Chang Sihao, he didn't thank him. His eyes were still looking at the eldest grandson and smiling for the next step. She smiled. Set aside the flask. deliberately made a sub-dignified appearance. Standing behind her husband's back.

The eldest grandson smiled and said: "You old swordsman and the twenty-two heroes went to Lushan back then. Have you heard of it? ”

Chang Sihao nodded: "I heard it." It's because the people on the hill said it. I just changed my route to Sichuan. He said that at that time, You Lao Swordsman was still very young. Because of admiration for Yanyun Fairy Wang Meini. So he joined the battle to exterminate the White Lotus Sect. As a result, Fairy Yanyun fell in love with Tang Jiangfei. Only then did he retreat into the cave. ”

The eldest grandson smiled and said, "The Venerable Master made this joke. It's not small. ”

"Joke. Chang Sihao repeated these two words in his mouth. It doesn't feel good. The eldest grandson smiled and said, "You Lao was indeed affectionate to Fairy Yanyun back then. But it wasn't for her that she went to Lushan. It's because You Lao himself is a member of the White Lotus Sect. Chang Sihao was surprised: "What." He is a member of the White Lotus Sect. Then why did he join forces with outsiders instead. Go and kill your own people. ”

The eldest grandson smiled and said, "Let's talk about it." It's a long story. ”

The White Lotus Sect was in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It was jointly established by Huiyuan, the patriarch of the Pure Land, in the Shandong Forest Temple of Lushan, Jiangxi Province. From the beginning, he was committed to the popularization of people of pure faith. Let them not shave their hair "at home". Because of the simplicity of the doctrine. It is said that "by reciting the Buddha, you can become a Buddha". It's easy to get started. The development is getting faster and faster. The scale is also getting bigger and bigger. to the Yuan Dynasty. Someone in the church secretly contacted Haojie. Contributed a lot to the cause of anti-yuan. Gradually, there was arming. However, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang sought stability. Fight hard against all kinds of sects. It made the White Lotus Sect suffer a lot of vitality. At the same time, the seeds of hatred are sown. One or two hundred years down. They have formed a major anti-Ming force among the people.

Listen to him here. Chang Sihao immediately realized. asked: "Old You is in the White Lotus against the White Lotus." Is it because he doesn't want to be clear? ”

"Not bad. The eldest grandson smiled and said, "There has always been no shortage of sages and scholars in the White Lotus Sect. One could even say. Many of them were elites from all walks of life at the time. You Lao was young at the time. Invited by a friend. Because of his martial arts talent, it is extraordinary. Positions in the church are also rising. But. However, he gradually found that the middle and senior leaders of the sect were going in a very wrong direction. Far from what is claimed in the doctrine. So there's a lot of friction. It later turned into an irreparable incident. This time. He couldn't retreat anymore. In the end, King Xiaoming of the White Lotus ordered him to be eradicated as an apostate. You Lao avoided it alone. He was worried that the White Lotus Sect would revolt. It makes the world miserable. Trap the sword again. Therefore, the nine sects and thirteen factions were united. Lead the heroes of the 22nd Road to Lushan. came back and took off the main altar of the White Lotus Sect. ”

Chang Sihao nodded: "I see." He thought to himself: "The people on the hill only strongly investigate the role of the cloud fairy. I don't know the inside story. Or deliberately. ”

The eldest grandson smiled and said, "After the death of the leaders and backbones of the White Lotus Sect, such as King Xiao Ming, the Three Holy Mother, and the Fourteen Sword Heroes. There was only one big stall left unmanaged. Therefore, You Lao and the remaining three White Lotus Sword Heroes took over. Chang Sihao interrupted: "Didn't you just say that the fourteen sword heroes are all dead." The eldest grandson smiled lately: "There are a total of eighteen White Lotus Sword Heroes. It is modeled after the eighteen sages when the church was founded. In the Church, the status is only below the Three Virgins. You Lao is also one of them. The remaining three sword males. It is the Xiliang big sword Yan Lingyun, the spear saint Ji Xiangrong and one of the three monsters of Yunnan 'don't eat pork' Li Molei. The three of them all have the same thoughts as You Lao. So it's all the same camp. Chang Sihao thought to himself: "Dare to love Yan Lingyun is also a member of the White Lotus Sect." He said he believed in Buddhism. Then I don't believe it. ”

I only heard the eldest grandson Xiaochi continue: "You Lao had already germinated the idea of leaving the rivers and lakes at that time. Taking over the White Lotus Sect was also a helpless move. After tidying up the mess. handed over all the affairs in his hands to Ji Xiangrong. Push your own dreams. Retreat to the cave. Under the leadership of the three predecessors of Ji, Yan and Li. The disciples of the White Lotus Sect abide by the canons. Obey the law of the land. It's been stable all the time. And yet they did not move. Some people can't help but pull out this eye. ”

Chang Sihao thought to himself that the White Lotus Sect was no longer anti-Ming. Naturally, there is a conflict of interests in the rivers and lakes. asked, "It's Juhao Pavilion." ”
