Old Pen Light Talk

626K05

Spy wars are integrated into every bit of life, including the sophistication of human nature, the affection between children, oil, salt, soy and vinegar, walking on the edge of a knife, playing with money, and hundreds of people. A rich man abandons his pen and joins the army, a heroic general breaks his sword, a greedy and corrupt official swallows his gold... The Bureau of Statistics is like a shrinking world of power, wisdom, desire, and games. There are people who bully the superiors and hide the inferiors, isolate themselves from others, be suspicious of each other, play both sides, and be on tenterhooks. There are people who are intoxicated with money, butterflies and bees are crazy, orioles bully swallows and are jealous, concubines are acting wildly...

A different Ming Dynasty. Jiajing: "The Longevity Palace was built for the sake of the country and the country." Yan Song: "To save the country from decline, it is useless to just rely on a few clean people to pay attention to ethics!" Lu Fang: "Master never cares about who is greedy. If anyone is alienated from him, he will die." Empress Liu Wu said: "It is difficult to rejuvenate the country. The New Deal and royalism are ultimately incompatible." Yan Shifan: "The Qingliu is miserable and the New Deal is miserable. My father and I gave you dignity." Xia Yan wrote in the memorial: "Some people deceive the emperor, bend the law, and seize power." Xu Jie: "The card we played is called purging officials, which involves both people and money." Japanese pirate shogunate: "Officials of the Ming Dynasty have always done their own thing, and their people are even more confused and ignorant about state affairs. As soon as Empress Liu Wu tried to stretch out her arms, someone would grab her." Wang Ye traveled through time and said: "This Ming Dynasty is a little different." He wrote: "The two capitals and thirteen provinces belong to the people after all." I thought silently in my mind: "Three wives and four concubines, three wives and four concubines."
