Shi Yue rode a tall mule and walked leisurely on the street, humming a ditty proudly along the way, singing: "Nine sisters! Nine sisters! Beautiful sisters, nine sisters! Nine sisters! Red flower buds...
…”
Recently, he clearly felt that his relationship with Mrs. Ninth had made rapid progress, and it seemed that there was just a thin layer of window paper that had not been pierced yet.
As for when to reveal the truth, it depends on the timing and the feeling of ambiguity. I am really happy to say that!
At this time, he was riding a mule, leisurely heading towards Master Huang's mansion!
In just ten days, he and Mr. Huang, a young dude, had a heated fight. Although this guy didn't look very smart and silly, he seemed to be a little cute!
But the light emitted by those narrow eyes was something that no one dared to look down upon.
Master Huang and an old servant watched from a distance as Shi Yue came leisurely on a mule. He hurriedly went to greet the morning and said with a smile: "Brother, why are you here? I'm in a hurry. It's so hard to wait."
Humph...I want to rub Madam Ninth's feet first. You guys are too slow. I'll give you face if I can come!
Shi Yue stood up, threw the whip to Master Huang, and took the lead into Master Huang's mansion. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he smelled a strong aroma of wine.
I saw a jar of fine wine placed on the stone table in the cool courtyard!
Young Master Huang pointed at the fine wine and said with a smile: "This is a fine wine that I have treasured for many years. It is specially prepared for my eldest brother. It is very drinkable. Even in the palace, there is no such fine wine."
"How do you know there is no such fine wine in the palace?" Shi Yue asked casually with a smile!
Young Master Huang was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer! But he saw that Shi Yue had already sat on the stool, poured out a bowl of wine, raised his head, and drank the bowl happily.
Seeing Shi Yue's free and easy way of drinking, he felt a surge of pride in his heart. He also drank a bowl with Shi Yue and shouted: "Good wine! Good wine!" While praising loudly, he choked and coughed several times.
"Why are you pretending to be a grown-up?" Shi Yue smiled and patted Master Huang on the shoulder, saying, "You little brat, what are you doing with me today? Are you trying to poach me again?"
Young Master Huang put down his wine glass, with a longing look in his slender eyes: "Brother, you have told me so many stories, including "The Biography of Yue Fei", "Generals of the Yang Family", "Generals of the Hu Family", I don't know any more
No story about a generation of emperors achieving great things?”
"Yes! Do you want to hear it?" Shi Yue looked at Mr. Huang blankly, pointed at the big bowl and said: "If you can drink three bowls of wine in a row, I will tell you! I will never break my promise."
"real?"
"Little dandy, can I still lie to you?"
Without saying a word, Young Master Huang pinched his nose, frowned, and drank three bowls of strong liquor. He choked until his throat smoked, he kept coughing, and his face was swollen and red, as bright as a monkey's butt.
He shook his dizzy head, squinted his narrow eyes, and urged: "Brother, I've finished the wine, now it's your turn to tell me a story."
Shi Yue's mind turned around and he said with a smile: "Okay, today I will tell you a story about "Emperor Kangxi"!"
Upon hearing this, Young Master Huang became energetic. He sat up straight, raised his chest and raised his head, showing a faint aristocratic air.
Shi Yue squinted his eyes and said: "There is a prince named Xuan Ye. He ascended the throne at the age of eight, and his country name is Kangxi!"
"Its foundation is weak. Internally, there are auxiliary ministers who are in charge of the government, and they have two intentions. Externally, there are three vassal princes who hold military power and are waiting for opportunities. In fact, it is a weak country that is beset with internal and external difficulties and is struggling to move forward."
Upon hearing this, Master Huang frowned tightly, his arms trembled, the wine bowl fell to the ground with a click, and the wine splashed on his chest and clothes.
However, he didn't pay attention. Instead, he stared at Shi Yue with his narrow eyes wide and asked: "What happened to the little emperor?"
Shi Yue waved his arm and said: "Xuan Ye came into power at the age of fourteen. At the age of sixteen, he eradicated the ambitious auxiliary ministers and restored the dignity of the emperor. It took eight years to pacify the three vassals and consolidate the eternal great cause. He defeated the Mongols and conquered the Geer.
Dan; Resist Tsarist Russia and shake up the country’s prestige!”
"Moreover, Xuan Ye was diligent in government, loved the people, cared about the sufferings of the people, built water conservancy projects, reclaimed farmland, performed civil and martial arts, and finally became an eternal emperor!"
When Master Huang heard this, his eyes shone with excitement. He stood up, pulled Shi Yue's arm, and urged: "Brother, tell me quickly and carefully! This story is so exciting, don't talk about three bowls of wine."
, even if I drank ten bowls of wine, I would drink it up and be willing to die drunk."
Shi Yue laughed loudly, drank a bowl of wine, and then slowly said: "Xuan Ye is small and weak, so of course he needs help from others! The people he relied on in the early stage were the bodyguard Wei Dongting, the emperor's teacher Wu Ciyou, and the assistant minister.
His son Suo'etu and a few others!"
"But Xuan Ye knows how to make good use of people, especially this Wei Dongting. He is extremely powerful. He is proficient in both civil and martial arts..."
Shi Yue was frothing at the mouth as he talked, pouring out all the allusions and exciting passages he could remember like a barrage of firecrackers, from the bright sun shining in the sky, to the sunset, to talking at night by candlelight!
Young Master Huang listened very attentively and remembered every detail in his mind. His eyes were as clear as water, and he seemed to yearn for Xuan Ye's glorious life.
When Shi Yue finished speaking, he took a deep breath, thought for a while, and sat down on the chair again.
He recalled in his mind the scene where Shi Yue mentioned that Wei Dongting slashed the first warrior Obai to death with one saber, and suddenly flashed his eyes and asked Shi Yue: "Brother, who is more powerful, you or Wei Dongting in the story?"
?”
"This... this..." Shi Yue scratched his scalp and smiled: "I don't know martial arts, how can I compare with Wei Dongting? Besides, this heroic figure was made up by a man named Yue He. You
If we catch him, we should know the answer!"
Master Huang looked Shi Yue up and down, and an imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: Who are you kidding, guy? Don't I still know your details?
Shi Yue drank some wine, patted Master Huang on the shoulder, and said sincerely: "Although this is just a small story, the truth remains unchanged! Without Wei Dongting's decision to kill Xuanye, Kangxi would not have been able to take the first step.
, it will never be possible to achieve greatness!"
Huang Sha also heard this, thought about it, and then asked: "Brother, Wei Dongting had a humble status at first and his talents were restrained. Why did Xuan Ye reuse him? And later he made him the governor of the customs of four provinces. It's really
It’s confusing!”
Shi Yue smiled, patted his shoulder, and said, "You little brat, you finally got the point!"
He stood up, drank a bowl of wine, stretched out four fingers, and said loudly: "There are four fears of being an emperor! One is the fear of not recognizing talents; the second is the fear of recognizing talents but leaving them idle; the third is the fear of using them.
The fourth fear, which is also the most terrible, is that we have reused talents but sent a treacherous villain to monitor them!"
"If you encounter an emperor with such 'four fears', even if he has a lot of strong generals and talented people, he will end up defeated sooner or later. This is also the wonderful thing about Xuan Ye turning from a disadvantage to a victory.
!”
When Shi Yue said this, he stared blankly at Mr. Huang, whose eyes were dazed, and pointedly said: "Little dandy, do you understand what I mean?"
