Jiang Fan said: "It's just a coincidence."
Old Master Yan smiled and said: "You are very clever. Only in this way can I believe that you will not suffer any losses when you go out. Only in this way can you be qualified to play the world's great chess."
"To play big games in the world, you have to rely on my wife." Jiang Fan laughed and said.
"You lazy fool!" the old master laughed and scolded: "You are born with a genius and have many honours, but you have to put on a henpecked look."
"I'm scared to begin with. You never know how scary that girl is. I can't afford to offend her anyway." Jiang Fan stuck out his tongue.
"Hahaha... the little monkey is funny. Having said that, your wife is indeed different from you. She dares to be the first in the world in everything and dares to be the leader of the world. She is magnificent and unparalleled. She is really different from your style."
Jiang Fan finally got the chance this time and wanted to know the story of Old Master Yan and the Empress.
The old master did not hide anything and simply told the story.
At that time, when the Master was thirty years old, he thought that he had accomplished something in his studies. He was full of ambitions and wanted to rule the world. However, he encountered obstacles at every turn, was excluded in everything, and felt depressed.
Then he realized that his knowledge was insufficient, so he went into seclusion and devoted himself to studying for ten years. He gained a great reputation in the literary world. He also believed that he had understood the way to help the world and govern the country, and he was born again. This time he chose to lobby the five countries, with the sole purpose of hoping that the world would be reunited.
However, the situation did not improve much. The five countries treated each other with courtesy, but did not use him seriously. It seemed more like they were using his reputation to achieve certain goals.
The Master has been wandering around for ten years, and by the time he reaches his fifties, he has seen the machinations and machinations of those in power in the world, the misery of the people all over the world, the pursuit of fame and fame by the literati, and the ways in which the warriors of the world are doing their best.
Disillusioned, he returned to seclusion and founded Wenqiu, hoping to carry forward his ideas through writing.
Because of its reputation, Wenqiu soon became a holy place in the literary world. However, Master gradually discovered that these literary celebrities were just here to get gold. After all, they could not escape fame and wealth, and their selfish desires were rampant.
The Master was almost disheartened, but at this moment, he saw a girl. That was during the last period of time when the Empress was traveling.
On that day, the empress saw her master and declared her great ambition. She wanted to unite the world with force, unify the five kingdoms, pacify the four frontiers, wipe out the eight wastelands and six areas, and create a big world. From then on, she would unify the laws and education, so as to calm the people, help the people, and realize the world. Qingming.
When they met like this, the Master was astonished and deeply heartbroken by his ambition. He is even willing to go out of the mountain to serve as his minister.
But the empress denied it, believing that the world should be governed by Confucianism, and the world should be conquered by law. This concept is exactly what the Master has been thinking about for decades, and he feels that it is truly the best way in the world. I finally understood that my way and principles were not wrong, but out of step with the times.
Therefore, the master was dormant in Wenqiu, waiting for the opportunity to respond to the empress.
After that, the empress never let her husband down. After she returned to the country, she defeated the old forces of the Qin State in one fell swoop, ascended to the throne as a woman and became the king. She also implemented the legal system and strengthened the Qin Dynasty in a very short period of time, which proved the correctness of her ideas. Later, he single-handedly defeated the five countries and achieved great fame.
However, the War of the Five Kingdoms was still too brutal. Master once thought that Qin would be unable to recover for a long time, so he adopted a strategy of compromise.
But I didn't expect that while the empress was governing the country, she continued to pursue tyranny, fighting internal and external troubles, and even openly rebelled against the Holy Land and resisted heaven and man. As her reputation grew, she gradually became invincible and was feared by all the heroes in the world.
The master was already filled with emotion, but unexpectedly, the empress unexpectedly encountered a talented person from all over the world. A young man with a weak head turned out to be a man of extraordinary talents and wit, and was as witty as a demon. Pointing to the northern border, his courage is not inferior to that of the empress, but it more than makes up for the empress' inability to do certain things due to her inconvenient status. The two of them complement each other in light and shadow.
The master secretly exclaimed, the divine phoenix appeared in the nine heavens, and the dragon was hidden in the clouds and mist. Who in the sky and on the earth can compete with him for supremacy? This is God's will, God's will!
Jiang Fan said embarrassedly: "How dare you call yourself a dragon? I'm just a little idle fish."
The Master looked at him meaningfully: "You little fish, if you treat the world as a river, you will turn into a dragon in the clouds sooner or later."
Although the old master was praising Jiang Fan, Jiang Fan also truly lamented that the master was the true scholar of this era, and he was a scholar with a world-wide mind.
He has the sufferings of the people in his heart and worries about the livelihood of the people, which is a great act of kindness. He traveled around the world and worked hard, just to quell the war, for the sake of righteousness. He understands the ways of the world, and is willing to press his own intellectual opinions for the sake of understanding. His vision spans the five countries, and he denies the separation of the heroes. He does not limit himself to the narrow family and country, but is united with the Tao.
Such a man of great benevolence and righteousness, who understands reason and follows the Tao, deserves to be respected as a Master by all the people in the world.
But now, with the publication of Master's unique book - "The Analects of Confucius", his status in the literary world has surpassed all the literary sages in the past and present, and he is called the most sage.
"This wonderful book of yours has really benefited me a lot." Speaking of the Analects of Confucius, the master couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"My disciple is just sorting out Master's remarks. How can I dare to take credit for it? However, Master, the higher your reputation in the literary world, the better for us. When the time comes, we will respond to your call and the literary world will be the first to return home."
The Master nodded: "But now is not the time. We still have to save up and be patient and wait for the right time."
Jiang Fan said: "Then Yan Congwen has been acting like a monster a lot lately, right?"
The Master sighed: "Fame and wealth are so touching. Now he is recruiting party members. His disciples are now secretly calling him Yanshenggong."
Okay, I'm really anxious. Jiang Fan shook his head: "A gentleman hides his weapons and waits for the time. He is so high-profile and has no authority. It is difficult for him to achieve great things."
The master said: "You are right, let him do the trouble. This will only make Sima Ji more jealous."
Jiang Fan smiled and said: "The first one was shot. Yan Congwen did not support Sima Ji at the beginning. Now Sima Ji is taking advantage of the war to re-centralize power. Yi Wen is a military force, and Yan Congwen jumps in to make trouble, which just allows Wen Qiu to block Jin." King’s gaze.”
The master chuckled and said: "You boy, you really have a sharp eye. It's a pity that the short-sightedness of my clan members will lead to disaster sooner or later."
Jiang Fan said: "Yan Congwen lacks political wisdom, but Lin Tingchen is a man of strong character."
When it comes to Lin Tingchen, the master seems to be very satisfied, "Well...among the disciples, Tingchen is the most staunch, and his performance in this battle is quite good."
Jiang Fan smiled: "This disciple of yours is not only strong-willed, but also very smart."
He was talking about Lin Zhaoji.
The master said: "Literati can be enthusiastic about books and business, but they must not be pedantic and stubborn. Tingchen is upright and has a strong government. I am very pleased."
Jiang Fan sighed: "It's a pity that such a person will become an obstacle to Great Qin in the future."
The master's face was dull: "In a time of great strife, the stars are shining brightly. Everyone contributes their glory to the family and the country. This is the wonderful thing about the world."
