Strict self-discipline

The sun went down, and a full moon rose. Its cold brilliance covered the earth like mercury pouring down.

Wang Xiaolie ate a few cockroaches and said to Wang Qingxiu: "My sister said that she will marry into the Zhang family next month. I wonder if they are ready? I am busy with government affairs and have no time to worry about my sister's marriage. I will entrust it to Cui Qing."

, are you well prepared?"

Wang Qingxiu said: "I'm not a vain person, so what's wrong with me? It's just that Da Lang's current status is extraordinary. The Zhang family has spent a hundred cents on it, for fear of making Da Lang dissatisfied."

Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "I'm the best person to talk to. What are they afraid of? As long as my sister is satisfied, everything will be fine."

Wang Qingxiu sighed: "If others hear what you say, they will be very happy. They will also be very domineering when doing things on weekdays. Otherwise, how can you show the power of a brother? I brought you up, but I know that what you say

No matter how good your words are, I will not be allowed to do anything inappropriate."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Can't you live a good life if you don't do extraordinary things? Can you show your authority by shouting in front of others and making people kneel down wherever you go? Those who do this are only secular people. Sister, after all

It’s different from them.”

Wang Qingxiu picked up the wine glass, faced the moonlight, and looked at the scarlet wine in the glass. After a while, he said: "Sometimes, I also feel that it is very majestic, and I inevitably want to give it a try. But it's just a thought.

Because I know that Dalang hates such things very, very much. If I do it, I will be extremely disappointed. You are right, must you do that to show your power? Your power is not like this."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Yeah, how can power be like that? If you do good things for the people, the people will be grateful. Showing this kind of gratitude and loving you in all kinds of ways is the most powerful thing. It's not that you can control people.

Either beat or kill, people are afraid of you, that's why they keep you high."

Wang Qingxiu said helplessly: "You are a younger brother who has hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command and has expanded the territory for more than a thousand miles. I am also very honorable as a sister. But you are different from others in everything and have weird ideas, so I am very careful, for fear of causing trouble for you.

.I don’t know, for me, is this a blessing or a curse?”

Wang Xiaolie said: "Sister, as long as you think about it, you will be blessed. Living in this world, you eat better than others, dress better than others, and have a high status. Isn't that enough? You have to be domineering and feared by everyone.

, that’s not right.”

Wang Qingxiu said: "That's all I can think of."

The two drank for a while and chatted. Unknowingly, the night got darker and the moon moved to the zenith.

Wang Xiaolie said: "Before I went to Hedong, I met Zhang Qi and he was a good man. Later I found out about his family background and found that he was from a good family. My sister is getting married. I will see him again in the next few days.

.”

Wang Qingxiu said: "Why do you see him again? He only talks about his busy schedule every day, so how can he have time to see these relatives!"

Wang Xiaolie sighed: "Being busy is indeed busy. But no matter how busy you are, you always have time to spare. If you marry, the Zhang family will be different from now on. We are related by marriage to the Xuanfu envoy, which is great. There must be many idle children, Baba

Find him, eat, drink and have fun with him. If you are not careful, you will use my power to do something."

Wang Qingxiu shook her head repeatedly: "The Zhang family is not that kind of family!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "It wasn't the case before, and you can't say what will happen in the future. The most difficult thing for people living in this world is self-discipline. And the higher the status, the harder it is to self-discipline. There are always a bunch of people around you, you say

What, what do these people do, and how many of them can control it? I have been very strict with myself until today. Why do these people listen to me? Because I am strict with them and even stricter with myself.

Sister, you must remember this."

Wang Qingxiu said nothing. He sat there and looked at Wang Xiaolie.

The moonlight shines on Wang Qingxiu's body, giving it a cold color, as if it were carved from jade.

After a long time, Wang Qingxiu sighed: "It's really not easy to do things like my brother said."

Wang Xiaolie said: "At this time, the farmers are still busy in the fields, and the workers have just returned home to prepare dinner, and they are even more busy at that moment. Compared with them, our life is already very easy. If since ancient times, there have been

The family members of the powerful live like my sister, and my sister won't find it difficult for me to live. It's just that the powerful have been greedy for enjoyment for many years. I asked so, but my sister finds it difficult."

Wang Qingxiu smiled and said: "That's all, you always have various reasons, I don't bother to care about you!"

Wang Xiaolie leaned on the chair, took a glass of wine, raised his head and looked at the full moon in the sky. This moon has been hanging in the sky for I don’t know how many years, and has seen so many joys and sorrows in the world. I don’t know that in the eyes of the moon,

Is this mortal world good or bad?

As a politician, if you are strict with yourself, many things will be easier to handle. Once you are not strict with yourself and the rules are very strict, things will be difficult to handle. What should you do if it is difficult? At this time, all kinds of power, conspiracy, and tricks are indispensable.

.

It’s not that Wang Xiaolie doesn’t know conspiracy, it’s not that he doesn’t understand politics, but he knows that if he does that, he will be just a vulgar guest in the world. Saving the country and the world is just talk. Even if he doesn’t save, the Central Plains will be lost.

, a hundred years later there will be people who can drive out the captives and restore the Central Plains.

This bright moon in the sky, seeing myself like that, is just seeing the joys and sorrows of this mortal world again.

It is actually very difficult to be strict with oneself. To what extent should one be self-disciplined? Do you have to be an official, eat poorly, wear patched clothes, and be busy like ordinary people every day? Wang Xiaolie believes

No. When you become a high official, of course you have to have a higher salary and more money. You are spending your own money, so what can others say? The so-called self-discipline means taking the money you should take and doing what you should do.

Don't take money you shouldn't take, don't do things you shouldn't do. Otherwise, the people below won't know what to do.

How can it be possible if you want the smart people in the world to be officials without giving them generous rewards? Are the smart people in the world fools? If you don't give them money, of course they have to take it themselves. The power in the hands of officials first becomes

As a tool for officials to make money, politics will naturally become corrupted.

The so-called political corruption is not about how much money officials have embezzled or how many bad things they have done. It is that such officials occupy positions and control the channels for advancement, causing those who can really do well to lose opportunities. A society cannot

The best talents are selected, but they will eventually perish.

How could Wang Xiaolie, who had lived in two lifetimes, be willing to just be a worldly guest? This world of mortals was just a dojo for Wang Xiaolie. In this dojo, what was being refined was not the elixir, nor even himself, but all living beings.

Just to get a higher status, more money, more beauties, and even praise from the people for yourself is to look down on yourself. What Wang Xiaolie wants is not just to save the country and the people, but also something more advanced. Although this thing

What it is, Wang Xiaolie can't tell now.

If you are strict with yourself and cannot do whatever you want, is it wronging yourself? Wang Xiaolie doesn't think so. As a minister, he has his own army of 200,000 people and nearly 10 million people under his rule. Isn't he powerful enough? Thousands of dollars a year.

, isn’t it enough to have enough food and clothing on weekdays?
