Feng He Li Three words that seem familiar at first sight and very meaningful. It was only when I saw the end that I remembered the original poem Burn agarwood to relieve the heat. Birds call out for the clear sky, and they peek into the eaves at dawn. On the leaves, the sun rises and the rain falls, the water surface is clear and round, and the wind lifts each leaf. In fact, there is a second half, which is more fateful and fits the full story, although I still feel that the first half has a stronger meaning. It makes countless pictures emerge. I always feel that the charm of ancient sayings lies in its grandeur. Family, country, world, people, and power are its soil. This makes every emotion in the group portraits complicated, and makes all the sadness, jealousy, joy, and separation seem even greater. Therefore, the sad points of good ancient sayings do not come from small loves and meaningless misunderstandings. Instead, driven by the whirlpool of the current situation, everyone's fate and emotions may be more or less tinged with sadness. I think this is profound and can echo in people's hearts for a long time. There is no doubt that the relationship between Qi Jingchen and Shen Xiling is the most important in the whole story, and it is also a prerequisite for attracting me. But at the same time, what makes people sigh are the things that emerge unexpectedly when reading. Just like the saying in the Buddhist scriptures that appears twice in the book "Sixty moments with a snap of the fingers, nine hundred births and deaths in one moment." Many times, the mood of the protagonist or the emotions of the supporting characters outside of advancing the plot appear in just a few strokes, but they shock people. They seem to glimpse the joys and sorrows of that era in just a few strokes. Just like the Han Fei Pond, which the elders in the family were shocked by its talent, and named it "Fei Po Pond", fearing that the dragon would catch the clouds and rain, it would end up not being the thing in the Pond. Such a proud and loyal person who helps Qi Jingchen all the way and accompanies him to decide the outcome will eventually be unable to walk together with him after the dust settles. Just like Qi Le, the most childish and mischievous person in the Qi family, his personality changed drastically during the family crisis. When everyone was running away, he ran to Qi Jingchen and told him: Second brother... I want to help you. When someone put a knife to his neck as a final bargaining chip to threaten Qi Jingchen, he smiled. What he was thinking about was that even though he tried really hard this time, he couldn't help his second brother even a little bit. The cliff was so high and the summer wind was so cold that I fell into the cliff so decisively. But Jingkang, in fact, your second brother has always been feeling guilty, feeling guilty about that spring and your turbulent career without family protection... Just like the fourth highness Xiao Ziheng, who was bohemian in his youth, often disheveled and drunk, and whose peach-blossom eyes exuded a romantic air, in fact he was the most rumored to have the demeanor of a celebrity from Jiangzuo. The road to becoming an emperor was not easy to follow. Perhaps he and Qi Jingchen really regarded each other as true friends. However, in the midst of the emperor's power, he was reluctant to trust his childhood confidant. This is the eternal sorrow in the deep palace. Just like Fu Rong, she is obviously just a noble girl with long-term vision, ambition and cruelty. She and Xiao Ziheng just use each other's strength and understand each other because of their ambitions. They sit in the position of empress and make their own plans. But she still said to her children word by word, "Look, you will be like this in the future, just like your father." After being imprisoned for several years, I will still regret that I was just a little short of actually reaching the highest position with him. Even after all the tricks, I will still feel disappointed when I hear the name of the late emperor again. Even she herself didn't quite understand whether it was because he represented the highest honor and status she had ever wanted in her life, or whether she just missed him a little. But they obviously have no feelings. The above are all the moments that moved me among the many supporting roles in the grand historical wave. Gu Juhan, maybe he has been partial to the second male lead since he was a child. After reading to the end, I couldn't help but feel sorry for this little general Gu. Maybe it's a pity that your deep love was denied, but more importantly, it's a pity that in such a role, you should have been more brilliant, more tearful and unforgettable. As the author said in his words, maybe there was something wrong with the starting point. Your relationship with Wenwen didn't really develop, and you didn't seem to really get into the story. But the turbulent ten years in the north and south of the country were only able to reach the final outcome because of Gu Wenruo. Mr. Xiao Qi and Wen Wen lived in chaos for ten years, and it was only because of Gu Wenruo that they could achieve their subsequent perfection. His name is Han, which means his position is high and he is few. The character is warm and the meaning is sincere and warm. From now on, the years will go by endlessly, and I will definitely confirm and look forward to your rich and wonderful emotions and life. As for Qi Jingchen, "Because he is transparent, it is inevitable to renounce. He is helpless and kind, so he will be burdened in the end." He was a man who spent the first half of his life walking hard on many roads. He negotiated among aristocratic families and imperial power, and plotted among Southern Liang and Northern Wei. He wanted to find a way between saving the country, preserving his family, and protecting the people. At the same time, just because of the moment he broke into Feng Heyuan, he finally allowed himself to plan Duo and Wenwen's future. The path he took was too difficult. Implement the New Deal and support the common people as a noble family. He said that before you put pen to paper and write a book, you must first dye it with ink. He is that pen. For the sake of the world in his heart, he would rather be dyed with dark ink. Even my evaluations of him feel like they label him, and they seem a bit light compared to what the author wanted to write about him and even what I read about him. The deeper I read, the more I feel real distress. "As long as I live my life, I will always be a Liangchen." He is not a flat, foolish and loyal minister. He will send a letter to Gu Juhan, the biggest enemy in the world, asking him to send troops to attack his own Nanliang. He uses all his plans and everything to weave a web on thin ice and uses everything he has to realize the path he wants to take. He is a true loner. He came out from the bottomless karma, and he was still the same as those in the past, like Abi Shura and the compassionate Buddha. At the end, it's finally time for Wenwen. Shen Xiling is a beautiful name that is very characteristic of the heroine of ancient novels, just like herself. Maybe it's because Qi Jingchen always calls her by her small name softly in various scenes of love and hatred, so he always feels that the name Wenwen is more touching. Perhaps more efforts have been put into shaping Qi Jingchen. When reading, sometimes I feel that Wenwen is a bit weak, and sometimes I feel that she is extremely powerful. She would cry silently over many small things, like a sensitive and delicate kitten, but when the building was about to collapse, she didn't shed a single tear and was too calm to be like a real person. Her love is decisive, even stubborn. When I first read it, I was even a little shocked. She was able to give up everything she had without thinking. Many ancient heroines are always beautiful, weak and talented, but I always want to give them the highest praise for their bravery. They love decisively and stubbornly, and they love even though they know they cannot do anything. It is precisely because of their inner perseverance and tenacity despite their weakness that they can see the flowers and leaves swaying like living creatures in the darkness of the wind and clouds, each one lifted by the wind. Everyone says that every time you read an ancient book, you feel a sense of loss. It seems that your friend who has accompanied them through joys and sorrows and traveled a long, long way is about to leave you. And I can only return to the real world and never get any new news about them. From now on, the years will be endless and the mountains and rivers will be thousands of miles away. I can no longer know your joys and sorrows in the parallel world. I can only wish you good luck and good luck in keeping your true heart. Lovers will eventually get married, and righteous people will eventually die well. Stop going through so many hardships Slowly and for a long time, let it go on as beautiful as a lotus flower
I feel like I haven't finished talking yet. Does the little emperor really not hold grudges? From the fact of contacting the old ministers, it shows that the young emperor still cares and has been influenced by the queen to hold a grudge. If you still hold a grudge, the future of the Qi family will not be stable after returning to power.
Han Fei Chi is now a poisonous Weiwei
Teacher, can you write some extra stories? I've been short of books recently and can only read this book. I've been reading it for several years and I really can't forget it [cat head] [cat head] [cat head]
In the past few years of reading ancient novels, this is the only book that has made me cry many times. It is quite inspirational. The author describes Wenwen and Qi Ying's acquaintance, mutual understanding, love and mutual affection very delicately. Both of them have gone through hardships, and both have to sacrifice themselves for each other to fulfill the people they love. Qi Ying spent his whole life cultivating himself, managing his family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world. He was a rare good prime minister in the Liang Dynasty. Because he had mountains and valleys in his chest and the country and people in his heart, he lived a very tiring life. Wenwen is the one who makes up for his psychological trauma and is also the person who understands him best. Wenwen never goes beyond the rules, but she always pursues what she wants, and she has become a powerful businesswoman in Jiangbei. She followed Qi Ying and made herself more independent and stronger. Special thanks to the author for quoting many ancient poems. With such beautiful poetry, I finished reading Feng He Ju this summer.
It feels so outrageous at the end. Does the male protagonist think that he can control the emperor for the rest of his life? The emperor can make mistakes countless times if he is like this. If he neglects once, he will die without a burial place. The lives of the whole clan simply flicker. He has reached this position because he can't think of it. See Zhang Juzheng
Watching it for the second time, I cried out for the princess, but it was also because I couldn't love it. The princess has been in love for more than ten years, and Gu Juhan has been in love for five years. Why did Gu Juhan get the YYDS from the author, while the princess was forced to get married in the end? Gu Juhan doesn't have as many scenes as the princess, so the differential treatment is too serious, right? Just because the author is a woman, the princess is a woman, and Gu Juhan is a man? It is really inappropriate for the person who wrote the book to be gender biased. Affection should not be divided into genders, otherwise it would be a stain on affection. The male protagonist in the whole article is outstanding. The male protagonist deserves more good people to like him, instead of all the women except the female protagonist being bad, because this ability is a denial of Mr. Xiao Qi.
The writing style is really delicate, and the description of the scene makes it easy for readers to imagine the scene at that time. The character design of Mr. Xiao Qi is really great! "Although I yearn for it, I can't get there in the end." This sentence feels like the overall main theme. I feel very sour when I read it, and I feel so blocked that I can't eat. I look forward to the author's new book with more sweet plots
I feel sorry for Jingchen's hardships along the way, but fortunately, Wenwen has been unswervingly by his side! [Kiss] [Kiss] [Kiss] A very healing couple
I cried to death. This story almost made me cry from beginning to end. I always felt that no ending was worthy of their wandering first half of life, but! This book is really, really good! Very excellent! ! !
