[Comprehensive] Number of Merry

The ground is full of greenery, and warblers are singing. Wang Lang wears an ink-colored loose-flowered damask multi-pleat skirt, and a magnolia gauze silk double-breasted large-sleeve shirt on the outside. A green silk and white jade pendant hangs on the waist and plain silk, and there are no other accessories.

Her new official position hasn't been agreed yet, and Xiao Wang doesn't know what's wrong with her. She actually said that she should combine work and rest, and she won't be given her homework for the time being. Wang Lang's life suddenly became leisurely.In addition to doing daily homework to form a habit, the time that can be freely controlled has greatly increased. This time, I came to Jiankang City for an outing in the mountains to cool off the heat.

Nowadays common people like to use lotus leaves to shade the sun, Wang Lang looked interesting, and put a big green lotus leaf upside down on top of his head after going out.

The lotus that grows this kind of leaves is called low light lotus. It is named after the leaves hang down like sunflowers bowing their heads in the sun. The fragrance of the mixed flowers and leaves can penetrate more than ten miles. Cool and fragrant, very comfortable.

"Who is under the forest?"

The west cliff is towering, the waterfall gushes down, and the fall is more than a thousand feet, far away like silk hanging from the sky, close like flying beads splashing jade, rising waves and foaming, stirring up anger and thunder.Wang Lang walked more than a hundred steps away from the sound of the water, and then heard a clear male voice sounding from the corner in front, with indescribable laziness and elegance.

"Why are you the only one?"

Wang Langzheng felt that the voice was familiar, and after parting the bamboo leaves, he saw that the person who was interrogating was indeed Xie Shang, so he couldn't help being a little surprised.She also lived in Jiankang for a few days, knowing that the other party has become famous since he entered the capital, and even Prime Minister Wang Dao was extended as a guest of honor, why didn't she come here alone with her friends?

Xie Shang curled his lips lazily, and leaned his body against the boulder: "I got separated."

He held a bronze wine bottle in his hand, and the neckline of the thin and light summer shirt was slightly open, revealing half of his delicate and beautiful collarbone.

Wang Lang took off the lotus leaf on his head, randomly picked a piece of shade from a tree opposite Xie Shang and sat down, his eyes swept around habitually, and landed on the Zhe wood bow and white feather arrows at Xie Shang's feet: "Renzu is also good at shooting? After thinking for a while, he nodded and said in affirmation, "Well, Zhenshi mentioned it."

It's just that she listened to it as a joke at the time and didn't believe it, but now it seems to be true.

Wang Lang looked at the hard calluses on Xie Shang's hands, which were obviously the marks left by years of bowing, and couldn't help feeling secretly ashamed of his previous behavior of judging people by their appearance.

Xie Shang was so enlightened, he could tell her thoughts just by hearing the two sentences before and after, but he didn't show the slightest bit on his face. He picked up the hard bow, feather and arrow, and said to Wang Lang: "I've heard that Lin Lang is good at shooting, and today is the right time. I also ask Lin Lang to give me some pointers."

His lips were still stained with the luster of wine, and his already coquettish face was slightly flushed due to drunkenness, but a pair of pure black phoenix eyes were clear and clear, revealing a calm light.

Wang Lang stood up with him, pointed to the relatively open west and said, "Shoot an arrow and have a look."

Xie Shang drew the bow and set the arrow, and Wang Lang's tall and powerful figure made Wang Lang reflect on his vision again - it turned out that she didn't even judge people by appearance, but judged people by appearance.

Take it easy, watch Xie Shang's movements, and an arrow hits a thin green bamboo a hundred steps away: "The ancients said that one hundred steps can penetrate a tree, but Renzu's archery is not as good as it is, but it is not far away." She was surprised and praised in her heart. , the tone of the speech was light and appreciative, and he stepped forward to correct Xie Shang's movements.

"It shouldn't be the capacity here, sink a little bit, angle, it's ok, keep it, send it."

A piercing arrow sounded, hitting the Maemi on the branch.Wang Lang turned his face halfway to look at Xie Shang, his black eyes gleaming, his expression bright: "Is it better?"

Xie Shang didn't answer.

He stared at her, his phoenix eyes never blinking.Under the close distance due to the corrective action, the eyelashes of the two almost touched each other. Wang Lang could smell the soft and mellow aroma of wine on his lips, and feel his warm and slow breath.

Wang Lang wondered, "What are you looking at me for? It's not the first time I've seen you."

Xie Shang still didn't answer.

He turned his head slightly, and the hosta that tied his hair slipped from the top of his head and fell to the ground with a "ding".Wang Lang looked at his black hair flowing down like silk satin, his deep and clear phoenix eyes like spots of lacquer, and his warm and clear complexion like white jade, there was a kind of shocking beauty.

"Stay away."

She frowned.

Xie Shang let out a light snort, and retreated half a step lazily, his voice hoarse after drinking was still the most beautiful and melodious among all the people Wang Lang met in his life: "Langya Wang's name is well-deserved."

Wang Lang had no idea what he was talking about.

It's just that the other party didn't threaten her at all, so An Anran stood there with a relaxed expression: "Are you convinced?"

You've just given up!

Xie Shang almost couldn't stand still, the expression on his flirtatious face changed several times, and it took him a long time to stabilize his emotions: "You don't know?"

Wang Lang tilted his head to look at him: "Know what?"

Xie Shang squinted at her, and said slowly: "Some aristocratic families are worried that their children will be misled by beauty, and they will let them be exposed to the world of mortals and soft fragrances at the age of Mu Shaoai who are aware of lust and flirtatious sex. Now, in the future, when things happen, you will naturally have concentration.”

No wonder she felt that there were a lot of beautiful boys visiting Sikong Mansion recently, did that mean...

Seeing her bowing her head in thought, Xie Shang seemed to be really ignorant, so he couldn't help but frowned, his voice still hoarse and lazy:

"If I hadn't been drunk, I wouldn't have said this to you."

Wang Lang laughed and raised his eyebrows: "This is not something a drunk person can say."

Seeing that Xie Shang turned his face and said nothing, he said again: "You think too much. The sage also said: 'If you don't see what you want, keep your mind from being disturbed.' Just ignore what you don't want to see. What's the point of wronging yourself."

Xie Shang turned his head and raised his eyebrows, copying her sentence pattern: "This is not something a disturbed person can control."

The radiance is compelling, Zhilan Yushu.

The two stared at each other for a moment, both smiling.

◇

"The great general rebelled in [-], and Su Jun rebelled in [-]. The land of the most fertile areas suffered two military disasters. It is impossible and unbearable to start another war in the short term."

"Speak the key."

"...Give me another five years."

Wang Lang drew the map and pointed to the Central Plains area north of the Yangtze River, with clear eyes:

"The Central Plains has been in the hands of Xun Shan for more than ten years, and the people of Jin are all vindictive. The prime minister has the talent of Xiao He, but he has no good fighters who can help him, so he has no choice but to settle down in the south of the Yangtze River. Now the situation is different, and the situation changes. I am sure. Convince the Prime Minister to make the Northern Expedition, and be promoted to Inspector of Jingzhou with military exploits."

She pursed her lips, raised her head and looked at the person opposite: "Just give me another five years, five years is enough."

Jiang Shang was not affected by her emotions at all, and his voice was as calm as ever:

"You won't be able to be the governor of Jingzhou before the age of 20, and you won't be able to sit after the age of 20."

"Eh?"

"If a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it; if its conduct is higher than that of others, everyone will blame it. Have you forgotten the article you just recited last year?"

"You mean... I'm like sailing against the current, and I've already attracted the jealousy of others. If I don't try my best to move forward, I will be overwhelmed by these slanders and slanders..."

Jiang Shang didn't answer, he just acquiesced in her inference, and said: "Since you have shown outstanding talent and courage, you must immediately obtain a commensurate position of power, so that it is good for others and yourself. It is impossible to negotiate within a year, how do you deal with the blank period in between?"

Wang Lang lowered his head in shame.

The strategy she set at the beginning was to be cautious in her words and actions, and only choose troublesome things that ordinary people would have a headache to reject. First, to accumulate experience and prestige to pave the way for the future; second, to avoid infringing on the interests of others and reduce resistance.To put it more bluntly, she needs wars, turmoil, and disasters, so that she can make meritorious deeds and break free from the secular constraints on her gender and age.

However, the Northern Expedition took too long and had too many variables, so it was obviously not a good choice.

"This is just one, as for the second." Jiang Shang glanced at her with a faint expression, "The northern barbarians have risen and fought endlessly, while the Central Plains is in ruins and there is no danger to defend. Even if you win by luck and regain the old capital, you will lose it." It’s just a back-and-forth thing. Did you read “Shu Zhi” in vain some time ago?”

"What does this have to do with "Shu Zhi"...Shu...you mean Chengguo!" Wang Lang suddenly realized, his thoughts cleared up, "That's right, that's right! Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, first decided Bashu; Chu and Han contended for the top , sent troops out of Chencang; Eastern Wu resisted Cao, and west connected with Liu Bei. Instead of sending troops to the Northern Expedition, it is better to first solve the Cheng State that occupies Yizhou and recover Bashu."

Wang Lang was so excited by this plan, he walked around the room a few times before he calmed down a little, thinking about practical issues:

"I heard from my elder brother that Li Te of the Di tribe is a hero, strong and strong, and has the appearance of a hero. In the civil strife in the Western Jin Dynasty, there was no time for others. Li Te took the opportunity to lead the refugees to annex Shu and Hanzhong, and encroach on Bajun and Liangzhou. Li Te and his brother After Li Liu's death, Li Te's son, Li Xiong, followed Liu Bei's footsteps, followed Liu Bei's footsteps, conquered Chengdu, occupied Yizhou, and established Chengguo with the assistance of Prime Minister Fan Changsheng."

"Li Xiong was originally a minister of the Jin Dynasty. He not only established himself as the emperor, but also repeatedly took advantage of the chaos in the Jin Dynasty to attack the city and expand the country. In this way, the righteousness of sending troops is already there, and it is only shorter than the strategy and strength of the Conquest."

Having said that, she frowned, walked to the map and looked carefully:

"Li Xiong is brave and resourceful, self-serving and loving. Since he succeeded to the throne, he has lightly paid and paid little money. He has simplified the law, promoted culture and education, established academic officials, and appointed officials. He can be called the second of Sun Quan. There is such a monarch in Chengguo. It would be premature to talk about recovery."

Jiang Shang held down her finger that was scribbling on the map, pressing on the word Chengdu:

"You think highly of him. Li Xiong is a man who can expand the territory and guard the shepherd, but his ability to be a monarch is far behind. Let's see that he made his brother's nephew Li Ban the crown prince. Li Xiang weeps and remonstrates, and if he doesn't listen, he will know a thing or two."

Wang Lang fell silent.

While hearing Jiang Shang's words, she made a long list of Fusu, Li Zhi, etc. in her mind.This type of prince has a father who is extremely accomplished and highly centralized—from the perspective of the monarch, they instinctively reject the emergence of a strong successor, hoping to firmly hold on to power until their death. From a perspective, they must ensure that their other sons will not be treated harshly in the new dynasty, and it is best for brothers to coexist peacefully and work together.

Therefore, this kind of prince usually has three common characteristics-weak personal power, filial piety to his father, and friendship to brothers.

As for the consequences of establishing a prince in this way, we can roughly refer to a series of famous historical events such as the death of Qin II and Wu Zetian's usurpation of the Tang Dynasty.

Besides, the situation of Li Xiong and Li Ban is more dangerous than the above-mentioned ones - Li Xiong, who made his nephew Li Ban the prince, has his own son, and there are more than one cheating fathers!

"If I remember correctly... Li Xiong should be 56 this year..."

Wang Lang murmured in a low voice, his gaze involuntarily fixed on Yizhou in the southwest of the map.

Jiang Shang didn't answer.

◇

"General Li Shou of Chengguo conquered Jianping in Badong. The Jin made Wang Lang General Zhenwu, Inspector of Ningzhou, and the governor of Ningzhou's military. Avoid, the class teacher returns to court.

In the eighth year of Xianhe, Wang Shu, the governor of Yuzhou, died of illness. Wang Lang was dismissed because of his father's death and returned to Beijing for Dingyou.

Li Shou no longer had any scruples, and in the summer of the same year, he raised troops to invade Ningzhou. In October, Yin Feng, the governor of Jinning Prefecture, surrendered to Chengguo, and Chengguo occupied all the Nanzhong area.

In the ninth year of Xianhe, the imperial court decided that Wang Langjing was good at military affairs, and he regained his love.In June of the same year, Li Xiong, the leader of Chengguo, died of illness, and Prince Li Ban came to the throne.Li Xiong's son, Li Yue, the chariot general, was dissatisfied, and conspired with his brother, Anton General Li Qi, to kill Li Ban in the funeral palace while he was crying and hanging at night. All.

Wang Lang led [-] elite soldiers to attack Chengguo from Bingguang and Jingzhou.Chengxin Emperor Li Qi thought that Wang Lang was a woman and despised her very much. He only let the local defenders organize guards, and did not mobilize the army stationed near Chengdu.

It took Wang Lang [-] days to capture Jinning, and the rest of the counties surrendered in anticipation, and soon recovered all the territory that used to belong to Ningzhou of the Jin Dynasty.Ai Emperor Li Ban was generous, benevolent, humble and corporal, and many people in the capital sympathized with him.The new emperor Li Qi thought he was full of ambition, despised all the old ministers, and rarely consulted the ministers, which aroused even more dissatisfaction.Wang Lang then appointed Li Xuan, the younger brother of Emperor Ai Li Ban, who had defected to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, as the general, and led a partial division to attack Wuyang.He led his troops to bypass Liangzhou from Berkshire and defeated Li Shou who was stationed in Fu County.

In the spring of the following year, Li Qi, the leader of Cheng Kingdom, surrendered.General Wang Lang's brigade was stationed in Shu, recommending talents and rewarding good deeds, and the people were convinced.He was promoted to the general of Zhengxi and opened the mansion with the merits of Pingshu, and was changed to the Duke of Linhe County. 12 people.
