Verse 42: If you can't do it, you have to do it
As the ship's planks creaked, Jiang Tian knew that someone had boarded the boat. The long wait made him keep thinking nonsense, but when it came to the end, he was surprisingly calm, how can there be robbers in the world who don't ask for money? In this way, it seems that his fate is about to reach a crossroads. The person who came opened the hatch, the cat came in with his waist bent, the small cabin and the word comfort were completely untouched, Jiang Tian had been lying on the wooden bed in a corner, at this moment he was still lying down, he didn't even look out, he was lying on the bed with his back to the person, he wanted to know how this person would react.
After waiting for a while, I heard the person behind me laughing: "You are still in the mood to pretend to be asleep, you are really bold." ”
Yes, I can't pretend anymore, and I can know from this fluent Mandarin that the person who came was the guy who was luckier than himself. So Jiang Tian had no choice but to turn over and sit up, looking at the powerful emperor on the opposite side.
"To deal with a little person like me, you don't need to work your big driver, right?" Anyway, the matter has come to this, and Jiang Tian doesn't have to fight anymore.
"yes." The other party did not deny: "It's not a matter of words to ask for your life, but I would like to know how you got here." ”
Jiang Tian looked at the other party, although he was only wearing a black power suit and a bright red cloak, but this person just sat there, exuding an oppressive feeling. It's not handsome, and his face exudes an indescribable majesty. This is commonly known as the spirit of the king's eight spirits, right? Jiang Tian pondered that he might not be able to cultivate this kind of posture of not being angry and arrogant.
Thinking of the process of crossing again, a sense of powerlessness came to my heart: "Actually, I also want to know how I came, I was on rare annual leave, and I went camping with my friends, I just remember not knowing who shouted 'falling rock'!" When I opened my eyes again, I was already here. ”
The man on the other side pondered for a moment: "I didn't expect you to be stoned flat in that life......"
"Hey, that's all you care about?"
"Of course not, I'm a little curious about what you want to do, if you came directly to the door to ask the fellow to enjoy a bowl of rice, I may not have taken you in."
Jiang Tian laughed: "You treat me as an idiot? A down-and-out scholar ran to Chengtianmen (Tiananmen) to look for work? Maybe you'll take me in for a job in the palace, but I'll have something missing from me. ”
"So you're causing trouble among the people to get my attention?"
"How can there be ......" Jiang Tian shook his head helplessly: "I can't help myself, how can you understand your luck attached to the eldest young master, I have already done everything I can in order not to starve." Well, now I thought I could hide in a corner to admire the new dynasty you founded, but now I don't even have this opportunity. ”
"Alas......" Emperor Zhang sighed: "Opening up a new era, it is easier said than done, if it is not for the country and the nation, what am I doing as this emperor." ”
Jiang Tian thought to himself, I'm not interested in listening to your complaints, why are you talking so much nonsense, it's better to just say what you want to do with me. Anyway, Lao Tzu has died once, and there is nothing to be afraid of dying again. It's just that Xiyun is a girl, and I knew that I wouldn't take her out like this.
After sighing, Emperor Zhang set his eyes on Jiang Tian again: "Let's talk about it, you have caused me so much trouble, how are you going to explain it to me?" ”
"What do I have to explain? Didn't you just want to do you a small favor, and you still don't appreciate it. "At this time, if you can pretend to be stupid, try to pretend to be stupid.
The other party sneered like a frost in an instant: "Who are you fooling?" Just by what you do, you can know that you are a cunning person, and it is not a hidden danger to keep you! ”
Jiang Tian yawned: "It's useless for you to scare me, if you want me to die, you won't come over to interrogate me personally, from what you have done since you ascended the throne, it is obvious that you want to destroy the foundation of the traditional eight shares, but it is only because of the Confucian officials of the Manchu Dynasty that it has not been completely implemented, I am now creating a momentum for you to promote the reform of the scientific expedition, and then it is to subtly transfer the education system to the academy system, you said that if I didn't mess around with the people, your plan would have to be delayed for a while, right?" ”
"Alas......" the emperor sighed for the second time: "This is the generation gap of the times, and those ministers who are full of wealth cannot see the danger of the eight shares. ”
Jiang Tian muttered again: I am also half of the entertainment industry now, and I am embarrassed to show my eyes with your acting skills. Which of those guys in the third rank is an idiot? Who of them doesn't see that you want to abolish the eight shares? It's just that they've been playing dumb. No one wants to puncture this layer of window paper and leave you with an excuse.
Thinking of this, Jiang Tian had a plan: "So, with someone like me who is not an official inciting the people, you should be happy to see it?" Do you still want me to go back and continue to fool the working people? ”
"Slippery head!" Emperor Zhang directly made a decision to Jiang Tian: "Since it is in my hands, you don't want to stay out of the matter, do you think that the silver buried in the suburbs will be foolproof?" To tell you the truth, it's not impossible for me to let you go now, but it's a pity that you're going to become a penniless down-and-out scholar again. The money that was secretly buried is already under my control. ”
Jiang Tian looked at the other party, the money he hid was under the control of others, how could there be anything to say: "How are you doing?" ”
"It's very simple, if you don't spit out everything you've learned in your life, you don't want to retire."
"Retirement?" Jiang Tian shook his head: "Can I still retire under you?" ”
"Am I so unkind?"
The two of them were relatively silent for a moment, and finally Jiang Tian spoke first: "What did you do in your last life?" ”
Emperor Zhang said in a deep voice with a stern expression: "Soldiers! ”
"Age?"
"......" The emperor was silent, and he didn't know if he didn't want to mention it: "What era did you come from?" ”
"Twenty-first Century...... Beginning! ”
"I'm a little earlier than you!"
"Got it......"
There was silence again, and this time it was the emperor's turn to speak first: "Reform...... Did it work? ”
Jiang Tian didn't ask what reform he was referring to, because as long as he was a Chinese, he knew what he was talking about: "Part of it...... At least a salaried person like me can also carry my bags and swim in the mountains and rivers during the holidays. As long as the price of tickets does not increase......"
Zhang Tao closed his eyes and let out a sigh, then slowly stood up, staring into the distance as if he could penetrate the plank: "In the future, you have to tell me more about your hometown, I can't remember the scenery there." ”
From beginning to end, Jiang Tian did not explicitly promise him to serve, but in this matter, Jiang Tian's personal opinion is meaningless at all, even if he wants to die rather than obey, Xi Yun is still in the hands of others, the dignified Chinese emperor may not be embarrassed by a little maidservant, but no one can say what kind of embarrassment Xi Yun will face after Jiang Tian disappears. Besides, the few words just now have made some kind of resonance between these two men, this is an indescribable national feeling, two people live in two eras, there should be no resonance, but only because they have witnessed a great rejuvenation of this country, so the sense of mission in their hearts will never be understood by Chinese in this time and space. Don't look at the people here have just experienced a life-and-death struggle, but the Han civilization has always been on the advanced side, and the humiliation of all-round backwardness has never been tasted.
"Come see me when you go to court!" Zhang Tao restored the majesty of the emperor again, and said to Jiang Tian as if he was scolding his officers: "The country can't afford to wait, the people can't afford to wait, since you know the direction of history, throw away those petty bourgeoisie, otherwise you will be the sinner of China!" ”
With such a big hat buttoned down, Jiang Tian just couldn't do it if he didn't want to, the so-called sinner didn't just mean that kind of political problem. It will also be physically punished, considering the identity and status of the other party, it doesn't matter if you die, you will also be involved in other people. In fact, Jiang Tian already understood from the beginning that he could only be obedient, and the reason why he still had to say so much nonsense was completely to test the other party's bottom line. Now that he was no longer a prisoner, he followed Zhang Tao out of the cabin, and sure enough, he saw those fierce and vicious bandits standing around the emperor one by one.
"I said ......" As soon as he opened his mouth, Jiang Tian felt the strange eyes of the people around him, and he realized that the change of identity at this time had transcended time and space, so he hurriedly asked equally respectfully: "Your Majesty, since there is nothing to do here, can you send the servant girl of the grass people back to me?" ”
Zhang Tao showed a smug smile on his face, whether others were in awe or flattery, they did not have Jiang Tian's comfort, it stands to reason that such a person who knows his secrets must not stay, but as he said to his son, the people of this time and space, this country, and even for the generations of his Zhang family, Jiang Tian is an indispensable existence, and sometimes this absolute materialist is also wondering if there is a certain number in the dark, God first threw the military himself over to set things right, and then sent a technical talent like Jiang Tian to carry out peaceful construction, in this case, how could he live up to the painstaking efforts of the sky.
Soon Xiyun was brought to everyone, and it could be seen that the little girl was not hurt, but she was obviously a little aggrieved mentally, obviously scared. Jiang Tian was a little distressed, he boasted that he wanted to take care of others in Haikou, but at this moment, not only did he not fulfill his promise, but he even affected the other party.
Jiang Tian decided to strike while the iron was hot: "Your Majesty, this girl is already the righteous sister of the grass people, and I beg the Holy Lord to grant her a natural gift!" ”
Zhang Tao looked at Xi Yun a little stunned, but it was only a moment's work, and after a little muttering, he said: "I have my own arrangements for this matter." ”
Jiang Tian's heart was half cold, what do you mean by having your own arrangement? It's not trying to blackmail me. Xi Yun didn't expect that listening to Jiang Gongzi's mouthful, could it be that the middle-aged man in front of him turned out to be today! The little girl's expression was also sluggish. The events of the past few days have really had a big impact on her.
Next, Jiang Tian didn't expect things to happen again, after they boarded the river bank, the carriage that had been hired by Jiang Tian was already waiting on the bank, and the handle of the car smiled honestly after seeing Jiang Dagongzi, maybe he thought it was a good thing to be able to drive a young master like Jiang Tian with a generous hand. Although Young Master Jiang ran a little farther this time, as long as the reward was far enough, it didn't matter. So without the knowledge of others, Jiang Tian returned to the capital in the original carriage, making people look as if he had returned after two days of playing in the city, and he couldn't imagine how much had happened in these two days. In fact, there were many pairs of eyes watching him in the dark, watching this hated guy continue to be at ease. Only Jiang Tian himself was secretly distressed, he originally left a letter of silver and disappeared from the teahouse, and now he is looking for the boss or Zhao Zhi must have found that he has said goodbye, what if these two people refuse to forgive themselves at that time?
