"Rules?" Qin Lei said thoughtfully.

"It's the rules. There are rules in this world. You can follow them or not."

Qin Lei sighed and said, "If you don't comply, you will be fouled and you will be rejected by the rules."

Guantao nodded and said, "Half right, if you are just rejected, you may still play on the field. At worst, you will be more miserable and lonely."

Qin Lei suddenly realized, closed his eyes and said tragically: "Since it is a rule, there are people who formulate and supervise. If I don't abide by the rules, I will be driven out of the game by the rule and supervise, and I don't even have the qualification to play."

Guantao nodded lonelyly and said self-deprecatingly: "I am the one who was expelled." After saying this, Guantao became relaxed and his smile hung on his face again.

Qin Lei's face was so gloomy that water could drip out. He asked softly: "Who made this rule? Who will supervise it?"

Guantao knew that Qin Lei said this meant that he had listened to it seriously. He smiled and said, "I have thought about this question for a long time. This is the root of the question." Then he put down his legs from Hu's bed, sat side by side with Qin Lei, and whispered: "First answer the next one, the officials, gentry, wealthy families, and even your royal family are supervising and implementing it."

"As for whom I made it, I initially thought it was imperial power or a few people who held state power. But when I went to explore it, I was shocked to find that even those who held the power would be overthrown by other supervisors if they violated this rule."

Qin Lei thought for a while and asked, "What if all supervisors collectively violate the rules?"

Guan Tao Senran said: "Then they will be expelled by all the people present. The rituals and music will be broken, and the country will be changed."

Qin Lei's heart gradually became clear. He thought of Mr. Ma and Mr. En, and pondered: "This should be the rules themselves that work, this is the so-called way of heaven."

Guantao looked at Qin Lei in surprise, and murmured for a while: "I thought you were quite intelligent, but I didn't expect to underestimate you." Instead, he said, "I have traveled many places and contacted many people over the years to write the "Memorial on the Improvement of Qi State", and my thoughts have gradually broadened. I finally figured out the truth. I didn't expect you to realize it in one moment."

Qin Lei said embarrassedly: "I'm talking nonsense. Even if I say it right, I'll stand on your shoulders. There's nothing great about it."

Guantao laughed and said, "It seems you have let go."

Qin Lei leaned over and picked up the pomegranate, carefully selected the broken part, removed the last piece of skin, revealing the ruby-like fruit grain inside. His eyebrows and eyes stretched out, "If you can't let go, there is no need to let go."

Guantao stood up and said seriously: "Your Highness remembers that the yin and yang of heaven and earth have their own teachings. The great way they do will be rich. Those who follow it will prosper; those who go against it will die if they do not die."

Qin Lei also stood up and presented the pomegranate that was incomplete in shape, which was still crystal clear and seductive inspiring.

Guantao took it with a smile, handed it to Qin Lei again, and said with a clear voice: "It was for Your Highness."

Qin Lei held the pomegranate and said respectfully: "Sir, please teach me."

Guantao smiled and said, "Everyone loves plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemums, but I love pomegranate trees only."

Qin Lei said 'ah' and thought to himself that this gentleman really tastes different from ordinary people."

Guantao Youran said: "When I was young, I loved pomegranate flowers blooming in the middle of summer. The fiery red flowers pointed directly at the sun, and were fearless in the season when flowers were withering. That kind of enchanting spirit made me unable to love it."

He turned to sighed, "But now I love the branches of pomegranate that are twisted and firm, and the strange and sensual plum trees, but not the barrenness of plum trees; I love the leaves of pomegranate that are beautiful but heavy. They have the freshness of willows and the gentleness of the five willows. They are actually the longness of plum willows and the shortness of plum willows." Then he asked, "Your Highness, do you know how many kinds of pomegranate flowers are?"

Qin Lei thought for a while and replied, "It seems that there are two types, one single-petal, and one double-petal."

Guantao smiled and said, "Yes, then do you know which of these two kinds of flowers can produce the pomegranate in your hand?"

Qin Lei smiled bitterly and said, "It should be a single petal. It seems that this pomegranate is very particular."

Guantao nodded and said, "Yes, because the petals bloom too much during the flowering period, they consumed their essence and had no spare energy to make them stronger." As he said that, he took out another intact pomegranate like a magic trick. The thick skin wrapped the flesh tightly, and the essence inside could not be seen at all.

Guantao held the pomegranate and said splendidly: "The pomegranate that is so arrogant that it dares to despise even the scorching sun will bear such a restrained reality in autumn. Do you know why?"

Qin Lei thought for a moment and pondered: "Because after the long summer of scorching sun and wind and rain, the pomegranate has known the power of heaven and earth, and understands that only in this way can one preserve its delicate seeds."

Guantao shook his head and said, "I think pomegranates are too small."

Qin Lei said curiously: "What do you think of that sir?"

Guan Tao smiled and said, "Pomegranate is a wealthy tree, and it is a noble among the flowers. Look at the beauty of flowers in spring, it knows that it is very difficult to make a name for itself, so it stops and accumulates strength. In summer, the flowers are afraid of lightning and thunder, and the sun and rain are shining. But pomegranate knows that the sun and rain are all kindness, so it releases them unscrupulously, but it is safe and sound. When the autumn wind comes, it knows that it will be cold, so it will lose the noble flowers without hesitation and wraps its thick skin for itself. Therefore, it can spend the winter safely. Year after year, understand the heart of heaven and move with the times, how can there be disasters."

Finally, he said earnestly: "The noble man should learn it."

Qin Lei bowed to the teachings.

The two of them had a profound conversation, interrupted by Shen Qing's knock on the door. Qin Lei bowed deeply to Guantao again and said sincerely: "Mr. Xie taught me, Qin Lei has received the teachings."

Guantao did not dodge, but sneered: "Your Highness's most correct idea. If you hadn't accepted what I said yesterday, how could you do what I said?" Then he sighed: "You are just to calm yourself down."

Qin Lei stood up and smiled brightly, "Life is in this world, so I only want to have peace of mind." At that moment, his expression looked very much like the sacred old man in Guantao's heart. Guantao was dazed.

When he came to his senses, Qin Lei had quietly left.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shen Qing told Qin Lei that Huangfu Zhanwen was here.

When Qin Lei saw Huangfu Zhanwen, he found that the mighty general was like an ant in a hot pan, wandering around the lobby.

Qin Lei walked forward and said with a smile: "General Huangfu, don't turn any more, I'm dizzy when I see Qin Lei coming." Huangfu saw that Qin Lei was coming, hurried forward to salute and said anxiously: "Your Highness, it's not good. You have only hit less than 30% of the board, and the camp is already unable to suppress it."

Qin Lei looked at him considerately and said with a smile: "General Huangfu sat down and said slowly, let's see what I can help you."

Huangfu Zhanwen widened his eyes and said, "Does Your Highness want to stay out of the matter?"

Qin Lei sat down behind the desk, spread his hands and said strangely: "People are yours, and you beat them. What does it have to do with this Highness?"

Huangfu Zhanwen knew that he had been fooled and said angrily: "Is your highness a three-year-old child to Zhanwen?"

Qin Lei was not angry either, but just squinted at him and whispered: "How old is General Huangfu's childhood that I am?"

Huangfu Zhanwen's expression was stagnant when he heard this, and he was speechless.

Qin Lei stroked the paperweight on the desk with his right hand and said softly: "Huangfu Zhanwen, who was 37 years old, was the eldest son of the Huangfu family, a giant in the army. He joined the army for fourteen. He would lead the army in every battle, willing to take the lead, and be willing to fight arrows and stones. He was promoted to the imperial guards Yueqin and commanded one of the eight imperial guards. Although he was strict in the army, he loved soldiers like his son and was deeply loved by the public. It is said that once his Majesty made a temporary plan and inspected the Yueqin camp, he found that the entire camp was in a moderate and neat manner. He did not panic at all because of the arrival of the emperor. His Majesty praised you as Zhou Yafu of the Han Dynasty. I think if it weren't for that matter, the position of the General of the Imperial Guards' Fat Cavalry was the one."

Huangfu Zhanwen smiled bitterly and said, "It turns out that your highness has investigated the last general."

Qin Lei smiled gently and said, "What kind of soldiers will such a general bring out?"

Huangfu Zhanwen said with a shame: "A hero will not mention his courage back then, but the last general is at the end of his strength, and he will be in a weak position. He will not be able to lead troops."

Qin Lei Yangguang said warmly: "Since the general cannot lead the troops, then hand over the seal sword. I will send you back to Beijing to retire!"

Huangfu Zhanwen had been arching his body, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but straighten his back, his beard and hair were wide open, and he glared at Qin Lei angrily and said, "Fifth Prince, don't bully people too much."
