Chapter 159: If you go with it, you will prosper, and if you go against it, you will die

Mo Dunrang came faster than Gao Pragmatic imagined, and on the fifth day after Mo Yulin was ordered to set off, Mo Dunrang had already caught up with Huilong, and "took the guilt" in front of the gate of King Qian's Mansion where Gao Pragmatic lived. In terms of time, he should have handed over the military power and rushed back immediately after Mo Yulin arrived in Henan, without the slightest delay.

Well, the attitude is good, and Ben appreciates it.

But it's no wonder that Mo Yulin, who is engaged in military affairs, is kneeling, and Mo Dun, who is engaged in politics, knows how to see the wind and steer better, which seems to be reasonable.

Politics, the art of compromise.

So Mortun made it time to compromise.

In terms of pretending to be forced to put on a show, Gao Pragmatic did not often do it when he was in Beijing, but after he arrived in Guangxi, he obviously saw a lot, and when he arrived in Annan, it was even better.

For example, Mo Dunrang, the auxiliary king of Annan, now came to the door in person to take the blame, and Gao Pragmatic did not go out to pick him up, but directly asked Gao Ming to come forward and invited him in.

Thankfully, he still used the word please, although it didn't seem to be sincere.

Modun was naturally ashamed and angry, feeling that he had already done this, and he was still treated like this, this high-level press was too rude.

But when he was ushered into the flower hall in the front yard of King Qian's mansion, this dissatisfaction vanished, because the young Guangxi inspector was chatting and laughing with an old man with white hair and white eyebrows.

This old man, even if Mo Dunrang is an auxiliary king, he does not dare to have the slightest disrespect for him, because he is Ruan Bingqian.

Ruan Bingqian is 80 years old this year, this public knowledge is profound, once studied Confucianism under Yu Bangyan Liang Depeng, in the early years of a long time unintentional, at the age of 45 to participate in the Mo Dynasty's imperial examination, even in the middle of the three yuan, the top in the examination. In the Mo Dynasty, he served as the left waiter of the Ministry of Officials and a scholar of the East Pavilion University, and was later promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and the Duke of Cheng Guogong. Because he is the champion of the three yuan and the first, the folk call him Cheng Zhuangyuan.

This is good, the two champions in the flower hall are both legends of Lianzhong Sanyuan, Mo Dunrang is not Mo Jingdian, he is a prince in politics, seeing this scene, he is naturally a little ashamed.

This old man Ruan was going to see Gao Pragmatic, but he didn't go far, Gao Pragmatic arrived in Thang Long, and Old Man Ruan had to turn around and come back to see him. He is Annan's three yuan and the first, in the face of the Ming Dynasty's three yuan and the first and even the six champions, but it is much more polite than to the "emperor" of the Mo Dynasty, and he came to the door for three consecutive days to ask for advice - not the kind of advice that smashes the field and kicks the hall, but really comes to talk about learning with Gao Shishi.

In fact, his political ideology is Lao Zhuang, and he often says "leisure", which is not consistent with the application of the Gao family's practical learning, but this does not prevent him from appreciating the skills of high pragmatic Confucianism.

As for whether this "current life" refers only to Annan, it is unknown. In short, when he faced the celebrities and high-ranking officials of the Mo Dynasty after he went back every day, he praised him like this, and he greatly admired Gao Pragmatic in his words, so that many Confucian celebrities of the Mo Dynasty now want to visit Gao Pragmatic, in case he can recommend his own children to Gao Pragmatic for guidance, it would be even better, it is simply the ancestral tomb is smoking.

A few words should be inserted here, in the turbulent years of the North and South Koreas in the history of Vietnam, Nguyen Binh Qian has always been the target of various forces. Later, with the fall of the Mo dynasty in the civil war, Nguyen and Zheng Zhu took control of the north and south of Vietnam, respectively, and both Truong and Nguyen Hoang consulted him in their struggle for power.

For Lord Zheng, Nguyen Bingqian suggested that he rebuild the Later Li Dynasty and hold the Emperor Li hostage to command the world; As for Nguyen Lord, he proposed to create a base in the undeveloped southern regions of Vietnam.

Both Trung and Nguyen Hoang listened to him, and the political and military power of the two sides reached a rivalry that lasted for 200 years.

In that history, in the thirteenth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, that is, in the eighth year of the Mo Dynasty, Ruan Bingqian once said to Mo Maoqia: "He has an accident in Japan, and although Gaoping is small, it can be extended for several lifetimes." ”

Sure enough, after another seven years, Zheng Song captured Shenglong, and the Mo Dynasty really favored Gaoping. Such a clever suggestion made Nguyen Binh Qian have a reputation in Vietnamese history as a wise man who could predict the future, and was called "Nostradamas of Vietnam" by later generations of Vietnamese. He is the author of Vietnam's famous "Cheng Zhuang", in which he hints at what is to come in the future, which is very mysterious, and in terms of historical status alone, it is somewhat like China's "Tui Bei Tu".

For such a great Confucian among the great Confucians, and the famous among the celebrities, Mo Dunrang naturally didn't dare to say much, nor did he dare to say that he was pragmatic and rude - what's the matter, did I leave Ruan Lao here to pick you up? Which green onion are you?

Fortunately, after Gao Pragmatic saw him, he didn't snub him anymore, smiled and stepped forward to remove the thorns behind him, and asked people to find clothes for him to change into, and then invited him to sit down.

Mortun sat down uneasily, but his heart was much more comfortable, and he was about to say a few more words of pleading, but he took the initiative to ask a question, and went directly to the topic, not ambiguous at all: "The current state affairs are like this, what do you think about Tongzhi?" ”

Tongzhi refers to the official title of Mo Dunrang in the Ming Dynasty - Annan Commander Tongzhi.

Mo Dunrang sighed and said: "My brother died, Annan was turbulent, and the lower officials originally planned to use the southern expedition to establish a small merit to deter Xiaoxiao, but who knew that the skills were not as good as others, but they buried a good situation, and the crime of the lower officials cannot be overstated." ”

Gao Pragmatic smiled slightly: "Let's not talk about merit or crime, let's talk about your views on the current situation first." ”

Mo Dunrang shook his head and said, "Xia Guan is just full of guilt now, where do you have any opinions...... Fortunately, according to the Taiwan pro-led army here, presumably Zheng Yi should also be afraid of Tianwei and retreat without a fight. ”

Gao pragmatically said: If Zheng Song will retire, then he will not be Zheng Song.

His smile was still the same, but his tone was unquestionable: "Even if Zheng Cheng retreats, this press still has to pacify the two thieves of Li and Zheng Rebellion." ”

Mortun's eyes lit up, and he looked up at Gao Shishi, as if he wanted to judge whether this was true or false from his demeanor.

Ruan Bingqian, who looked dying, suddenly interjected: "Gao Longwen wants to do his best, I hope that my Mo family can support it, what do you think?" ”

Mo Dunrang was taken aback, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, so he just asked, "Please also ask Elder Ruan for advice." ”

Ruan Bingqian shook his head and said, "What can the old man instruct?" However, the general trend of the world is mighty, and if you go with it, you will prosper, and if you go against it, you will die. Please also think twice about this. ”

Mo Dun let a chill chill in his back when he heard it, even Ruan Lao felt that it was impossible to do something? I'm Annan...... Can you really only crawl at the feet of Daming?
