Chapter 53

Gu Juan turned around and raised his eyebrows. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"The old gentleman is interested in this?"

I saw that the paper was only very roughly drawn an inverted triangle, and the triangle was clearly layered.

The old man in Tsing Yi pointed with his left hand and motioned for Gu Juan to sit on the stone bench beside him.

Gu Juan put the humble notebook on the table.

"Can you tell me, what does this point represent?" Gu Juan was extremely curious when he saw this old man, and he couldn't imagine that there were still people in this Ming Dynasty who could be interested in this kind of thing.

"This point represents imperial power. ”

The old man in Tsing Yi froze for a moment, stretched out his hand and rubbed on this triangle.

"The old man really doesn't understand, the imperial power has always been supreme, Shinong, industry and commerce, the upper one is the king, but the picture of the lady is reversed. ”

"The old gentleman is talking about a map of social status, but I am not drawing that. ”

Gu Juan pointed to the bottom point of this picture and said: "Imperial power, that is, the emperor bears the pressure of all the power from the lower levels, because the power is too concentrated, so it is the most vulnerable, in the ancient emperor's family, father and son and brother cannibalism, especially common,"

After Gu Juan finished speaking, the two old men were silent, Cheng Yan had been immersed in officialdom for many years, but he also knew that under the power, anything could be abandoned.

Under this highly centralized power, the emperor himself had to consolidate his imperial power by using various methods, but all kinds of political speculative forces would still wait for an opportunity like maggots on the tarsal bones. ”

Gu Juan drew countless lines next to which point.

The old man in Tsing Yi sighed and said: "The lady is talented, but the ancients said that a lonely person is nothing more than that. ”

"This is not the worst, at worst, the group of people at the top, at the bottom, who are in the worst living conditions in this inverted triangle is gradually growing, and the pressure on this huge organization of the state is increasing, and this inverted triangle will collapse because of this. ”

When Gu Juan said the word collapse, the two old men's faces turned pale.

Gu Juan smiled, put away his things, and said to the two: "This is just a little girl's nonsense, it shouldn't be true, don't care about it." ”

After finishing speaking, Gu Juan stood up and prepared to leave.

Cheng Yan hurriedly said: "Little lady, slow down, we have met before, in which Deer King Pavilion, has the lady forgotten?"

Gu Wan looked at it and felt that this old man was a little familiar.

"It seems that I have this impression, and it is really a coincidence that I met it today. ”

Cheng Yan smiled and said: "The lady will sit for a while, it is still early at this time, and I still have some questions with Ruzhong like the lady to ask." ”

"Okay. ”

Cheng Yan was helpless for a while, he thought that this little lady would be modest, but he didn't expect her to be so sincere.

"The Daming that the lady just said is a huge organization, the old man guessed that there are rules and regulations to form a law, so that it can become an organization, and the so-called organization collapse, that is, these rules and regulations are no longer suitable, as Shang Jun said in the law, at this time, only by changing the law can the country be saved, is this the meaning of the picture drawn by the little lady?" the old man in Tsing Yi pondered.

This man must have read poetry and books, and his words were justified and well-founded.

It's just that Gu Juan shook his head and said: "Most people will think like this, but how can they change the law? The system established since the Qin Dynasty is like a ghost that has not died for thousands of years, and there are countless changes in the law, large and small, but the two gentlemen count which country has crossed even a thousand years?"

Both of them are full of poetry and books, and they count them carefully, but none of them can surpass the Western Zhou Dynasty, which is five or six hundred years long and a few years shorter.

Full of paper rolls, much the same.

"What the lady means is that the Ming Dynasty, as well as the systems of all dynasties, are wrong. ”

Cheng Yan was in the prime of life in the Huan Sea, and he was disheartened when he was not confused, but he also knew that in this officialdom and the court, in the final analysis, what was brewing in the end was only the tragedy of the country.

Gu Xuan's fingers tapped on the stone table, looking at the unfinished chess pieces.

"There is no perfect system in the world, there are only constant reforms, but our system is always more and more extreme, and the more we change, the more narrow it is. Centralization of power does not bring stability, the country is too big for anyone to really sit on. ”

The old man in Tsing Yi let out a long sigh.

Gu Juan smiled and said: "What I said is too narrow, Daming has a vast territory and a lot of talents, I can't tell which one can be this giant ship in the right direction, and the two of them don't have to be like this, just when I'm a crazy person talking nonsense, don't care." ”

Cheng Yan opened his mouth and said: "How can I not care? I have been an official for decades to see all kinds of strange phenomena, straight to the heart, when I was the official of Jiangxi Province, I saw corruption, perverted the law of fish and meat, midnight dream, especially feel that the building will collapse, especially painful heart. For decades, I have not dared to forget. ”

Gu Juan sighed, whether it is in later generations or in ancient times, corruption is a topic that can be talked about often, but even in a dynasty like the Ming Dynasty, which severely punishes corrupt officials, this kind of thing cannot be avoided.

Gu Juan opened his mouth and said: "The purpose of the rule of officials is not to fight corruption, but to improve the efficiency of the entire bureaucratic system. ”

The old man in Tsing Yi said: "As long as everyone in the world abides by great virtue and integrates knowledge and action, how can there be such a corrupt and perverted law?"

"Sir, but Wang Xuemen?"

"Exactly, old man Wang Ruzhong. ”

"It turned out to be Mr. Longxi, Jiuyang, it's not too early today, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first. ”

"Lady and slow, what the old man just said, does the lady think it is reasonable?"

Gu Juan smiled and said, "What Mr. has done is a great virtue, one of the few lights in the Ming Dynasty. ”

Before the words fell, Gu Juan took the things and left, and the two sighed.

"We have been empty for more than ten years. Cheng Yan smiled bitterly.

After Gu Juan left here, he did not return home, and looked at the direction of going to Huimin Pharmacy.

The crowd is bustling, and Huimin Pharmacy is indeed a little more lively than the most lively area in Taicang. However, the weather was hot at this time, and many poor people suffered from dysentery due to the pollution of drinking water.

If a man in the prime of life gets such a disease as dysentery, he will have to die for the rest of his life.

You can smell it from afar.

Several family members carried the patient, and at the door of the pharmacy, the young man on the shelf was already out of shape, his face was red, and he looked very serious, and his family members were dressed very shabby, obviously from a poor family.

Gu Juan always thought that there should not be such a large-scale intestinal infectious disease in a place like Taicang, after all, the groundwater system in Taicang City is still very good.

Perhaps this young man was too serious, Dr. Shen was invited out, and after seeing the young man, he hurried to the diagnosis and treatment.

"Why did you get it so late?"

"I have prescribed medicine to Lang Zhong in the street, but it has not been good. ”

"I'm afraid this kid has dysentery, and it's already very serious, how can he be so careless, bring it in quickly. ”

After Dr. Shen finished speaking, he turned around and saw Gu Juan standing aside.
