Wang Xun sighed: "Sir, great talent is achieved by enduring more hardships than others. Today I know it. Maybe I should learn from you and learn to drink this bitter tea soup."
Tao Qian smiled and said: "The third person I admire is a person who can drink bitter tea as wine and live a life of hard study and study like me every day. This person is your biggest mortal enemy now, Tianshi Dao
of…………"
Wang Xun rushed to ask: "Sun En?"
Tao Qian shook his head: "No!"
Wang Xun nodded: "That's Lu Xun. I didn't expect that he, a northerner, can also drink tea."
Tao Qian laughed and said, "No! It's Xu Daofu!"
Wang Xun's expression changed: "What, Xu Daofu? Isn't he a big boss? How come he knows how to drink tea? Do you know him?"
Tao Qian nodded: "Yes, there is one thing I'm afraid you don't know. When Xu Daofu was young, he traveled around the world, visited famous teachers and learned skills, and he was also familiar with me. I once went to Dalin Temple outside Jiangling City in Jingzhou.
We have been together for two years, and the skill of drinking tea was also learned from the master there."
Wang Xun frowned: "Isn't Xu Daofu a Taoist disciple? Why did he enter Buddhism?"
Tao Qian smiled slightly: "That was just his cover identity when he traveled around the world. He traveled all over the world to find teachers and learn skills. More importantly, it was to travel all over the world's famous rivers and dangerous passes, just like Zhuge Liang back then.
Although he was in Longzhong, he traveled all over Xichuan, so the Longzhong Conversation was passed down to later generations. Xu Daofu came to Jingzhou when he was still a young man, and his ambition is needless to say. I was a classmate of this young man, and I knew very well that this man was attracted to him.
Tolerance is definitely not represented by the appearance of a big, rough man. In my opinion, he is a powerful character no less than Liu Yu."
Wang Xun said thoughtfully: "When Suzaku Wang Ningzhi was alive, he once said that Xu Daofu's talent in the art of war was extremely high, surpassing that of Sun En and Lu Xun, so he would teach Wu Zi the art of war.
I have said that Xu Daofu's military knowledge is probably not inferior to that of Liu Yu, but I didn't expect that you, Yuanming, would have the same view while living in the mountains."
Tao Qian nodded: "When he was a boy, he practiced martial arts every day, which consumed a lot of physical strength and energy. But in order to force himself to continue reading the art of war and history books at night after finishing his homework, he started drinking tea. At that time, the tea soup tasted bitter, and it was difficult for ordinary people to drink tea.
After swallowing it, even I gave up for a while, but Xu Daofu persisted. Not only that, he also went to pick tea before dawn every day. More than half of my tea-drinking skills were learned because of him.
So I knew at that time that this person would become a great person in the future, and his achievements would be limitless."
Wang Xun sneered and said: "But even in the Tianshi Dao, Xu Daofu's position is still inferior to that of Sun En and Lu Xun. One of them is the leader and has the support of all the fanatical followers, and the other is a child of a northern aristocratic family with deep scheming and extensive connections.
Scholar, even if Xu Daofu is excellent in martial arts and military science, it is unlikely that he will be superior to his two senior brothers."
Tao Qian shook his head: "Sun En was mean and ungrateful, cruel and easy to kill. He was definitely not a hero. Lu Xun's attitude was erratic and he lacked the fierceness to fight for his life at critical moments. This was his fatal weakness, while Xu Daofu was
On the contrary, he has the kind of ruthlessness Liu Yu has in him, regardless of life and death, decisive and ruthless in his use of troops. I have been studying the recent battle cases of Tianshi Dao, and found that the real commander of Tianshi Dao is Xu Dao
However, if it were Sun En or Lu Xun who commanded the battle, there would never be the current results. Master Baihu, if you really want to fight Tianshi Dao in the future, you must be careful of this person and never take it lightly.
.”
Wang Xun nodded: "Understood, we will take special care of Xu Daofu. Then who is the last person you admire? How can there be half a good person?"
Tao Qian laughed: "The last half of the people are Mrs. Xie and Xie Daoyun. Because she is a female and has no actual power in her hands, I can only count her as half a person."
Wang Xun laughed: "So it's her. Mrs. Xie is famous all over the world for her talents, and she is the current head of the Xie family. For a woman to achieve what she is now, she is indeed worthy of admiration."
Tao Qian shook his head: "No, what I admire most about her is not the things that everyone knows about her, but the other two aspects."
Wang Xun softly said "Oh": "I would like to hear the details."
Tao Qian said seriously: "Madam is the first person among the children of the aristocratic family to realize the importance of Liu Yu. Even Xie An in the past did not necessarily dare to marry off the daughter of the Xie family to a rude soldier at the beginning, but
Mrs. Xie, as a female prostitute, was willing to marry her daughter after only seeing Liu Yu once. I think Wang Shangshu may not have such a vision and courage."
Wang Xun sighed: "Yes, the high school and the common people are as separated as clouds and mud. Let alone more than ten years ago when Liu Yu was unknown, even now, I will not marry my granddaughter to Liu Yu. The Xie family is the last one."
The key to success lies in this. It is something that other high-ranking families cannot do or even dare to think about. In this regard, Mrs. Xie is indeed admirable."
Tao Qian nodded: "The second thing I admire about her is that in order to preserve the family, she was not only able to sacrifice her life's happiness and marry Wang Ningzhi, whom she did not love, but she was also able to marry her daughter to Liu Yu first.
Marrying into the palace again, not only marrying once, but also marrying a second time, and even ruthlessly breaking up her happy marriage with Liu Yu, making Wang Miaoyin the king's beloved. Such means are not as good as I, Tao Qian, admit."
Wang Xun's expression changed: "How do you know that the current Queen of Divine Love is Wang Miaoyin?"
Tao Qian smiled slightly: "In addition to Mr. Baihu, I also have some other old friends in Jiankang. Although only a few high-ranking families know about such secrets, I also know the ins and outs of this matter clearly. Even Huan
Xuan, I don’t know about this now.”
Wang Xun whispered: "This matter must be kept absolutely confidential. Once it is leaked, the Wang family and the Xie family may be uprooted given the current situation."
Tao Qian nodded: "This is natural, but Mrs. Xie's move seems to be to protect the Xie family, but in fact she can control the emperor. Controlling the emperor means that she can issue various edicts. With all due respect, Bai Hu
Sir, your Shangshu Ling is now dispensable. How to hold the emperor's jade seal in your hands is the most important thing!"
Wang Xun sighed: "How can I not know this truth? But as a minister, how can I take the initiative to ask for the jade seal? The last person who did this was Wang Guobao, but he died and his family was destroyed. Am I going to follow his old path?"
Tao Qian laughed: "So I want to help you correct your mistakes now. Don't take revenge on this little kid Xie Gongyi out of anger. If you offend Mrs. Xie and the Queen, you may not even know how you will die in the future."
