Chapter 188: Mountain rain is coming
For Li Xiangqian, chaos is not a good thing, but also a good thing. Δ ㄟ.
Fishing in troubled waters is a very difficult thing to do, and it is also a difficult thing to do, but it is not okay to have a pool of stagnant water.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was really to the point of moral degradation and people's hearts sinking, and after Li Zicheng entered Beijing, there were many ugly Ming officials, and even Li Zicheng looked down on him in his heart.
After Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he gave Liu Zongmin 40,000 taels of silver, Liu Zongmin originally thought that this goods were very good.
But soon, after Chen Yan's family servants and concubines' servants were revealed, they were almost killed, and after barely rushing out with injuries, they directly found General Liu, claiming to be the leading party, and as a result, gold bars and silver dollars were dug up under Chen Yan's house, with a total value of more than 300,000 taels of silver.
You have 340,000 taels of silver in cash, and countless other gold and silver treasures, and as a result, you will take 40,000 taels to fight General Liu, isn't this looking for death?
There is also the scholar Wei Zaode, who is also the best of the best, Chongzhen's last cabinet assistant, which can be said to be trusted, but at the moment of Li Zicheng's siege, he kept his mouth shut and didn't talk about it, for fear that after talking too much, Li Zicheng would come in and not spare him.
Of course, this is nothing, but this person took the initiative to find Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng asked him, why don't you learn from others to die, after all, at that time in the imperial capital, there were many people who were martyred, and this cabinet assistant was like this, Wei Zaode flattered and said: "I am preparing to serve the new court, how dare I die." ”
In general, the turmoil of collecting money and asking for money in the imperial capital stayed in the upper echelons of the imperial capital, and Liu Zongmin was not busy for a few days after all, so he followed Li Zicheng to the battle of Shanhaiguan.
However, the impact of this is also huge, at least, let the world see clearly that it is not that you read a lot, you are old, and your moral character is good, sometimes, it is just the opposite.
Of course, in fact, they are all ordinary people, and they are all just seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.
There is one thing, people in later generations still don't quite understand, in ancient times, theoretically, the emperor belonged to the Northern Zhili Province, that is, the land under the rule of Hebei Province, therefore, the contact within the province is still very close, after all, ten miles and eight villages, who doesn't know who, can't prepare, who is related to whom.
There is such a famous saying through the ages: The degree that the taxi driver in the imperial capital spreads the gossip is light-level.
Ancient and modern times are the same, it only takes one night, between the villages of the states and counties around the imperial capital, as long as there are candidates who have participated in this exam at home, they all know what happened, people are circulating gossip to each other, comparing their minds, after all, the closer to the imperial capital, the more people will participate in Enke.
On the second day, many exams returned to the imperial capital, and even some began to gather in groups of three or five, waiting until they "confirmed" the facts, confirmed the previous rumors, and even someone visited Wang Daren, exchanged names with him, and asked him what happened that day.
The ghost knows if there was a Wuwen Qian Party behind his back that day, when the first one dragged an inexplicable and separated Jinshi master to go to the Yamen to fight a lawsuit, Li Xiangqian, who had been watching from behind, said: "Human nature, it really hasn't changed for hundreds of years, isn't this just a trick to make trouble in one place, and then lie on the ground and pretend to be injured, and the security guards beat people, then the police station is basically 30 boards on both sides." ”
Zhao Jiaren looked at him, and suddenly got up with a breath of anger, although the child of the two people had successfully become a fetus in the girl's body, but it was like this, the more he felt that this person looked angry.
"It's not all you, without you instigating it behind your back, who knows what will happen."
Li Xiangqian said: "Don't treat me as a conspirator, we shipping industry, don't look at me like that, I am indeed working in a passenger transport company that serves people, before a major accident, there must be a hundred minor accidents, a thousand accident signs, the Ming Dynasty to this day, is a huge contradiction composed of countless small contradictions, these emotions, is it really the dissatisfaction with the imperial capital this Enke?" ”
Zhao Jiaren pursed her lips and said, "Anyway, when you get to the south, I don't know what this matter will spread, just don't delay the matter of entering Jiangnan in the end." ”
"Of course it can't be delayed."
Li Xiangqian said lazily: "The individual IQ of human beings is based on IQ, but the overall IQ is often based on the average IQ of the silent vast majority, which is actually roughly at the level of middle and lower class IQ, right." ”
Zhao Jiaren sighed: "Of course, low-level people can't understand more complex strategies, but the most easy-to-understand words, they know the best, so whoever has the simplest mind and imagines others the most stupid, will win the final victory." ”
Since two people have "made" a child, although the relationship is still at the point of occasionally holding hands to help with things, in fact, it is still a very "pure" relationship between men and women, but the spirit is much closer, this is the relationship between men and women in the 21st century, because women do not have to bear the burden of childbearing, so they are generally more freewheeling, of course, it also brings some problems, such as may not care for children very much, or marriage and divorce are not brainy.
Of course, it's all trifles.
"To what extent the trouble begins to stop, you have to know in your heart."
Li Xiangqian replied: "It's like the forces of the military-industrial complex in the United States are trying to attack the Jewish financiers, the enemies of the Occupy Wall Street movement, and if they achieve their goals, the other side will beg for mercy." ”
"However, since we are fighting against a force that cannot be seen or touched, but is only imaginary, how do we know that the enemy is begging for mercy? Who exactly are you looking for? ”
Li Xiangqian smiled and said: "Do you remember the sorrow of Xiangjiang, although the land was recovered, but it was made by people with ill intentions, and it was done well there, it was the credit of the foreign people, and if it was not done well, it was the problem of the Chinese, and in the end, any attempt to save the economy of Xiangjiang would be artificially blocked and stopped, and Xiangjiang would become smelly." ”
Zhao Jiaren lowered her head and thought about it, and said, "I see." ”
"In the same way, we have also taken on such a problem, how many people have died in the end? Basically, all the loyalty and morality are hell of it, but, it just so happens that the lip is so high-sounding, this kind of hypocrite, if you kill them, they will pretend to take refuge, and if they don't kill them, they will blend into the organization, disguise themselves, and slowly corrode our policies. ”
Zhao Jiaren thought for a while, "In any case, any government will use the top 5 in this society to manage the society, which is inevitable, and in the spirit of human nature, these people will use all kinds of legal, illegal, even if it is illegal, to turn it into legal behavior, to accumulate interests and use them for their own use, so, you see, this is inevitable." ”
Li Xiangqian smiled indifferently: "I just want to establish a social consciousness atmosphere where the elders will be good and the scholars are bad, just like the leeks in the leek field, a stubble of corrupt officials will grow, let's start harvesting and take our time." ”
Zhao Jiaren thought for a while, "Without decades of effort, it can't be built, after all, you know, the Celestial Empire spent a hundred years to establish a harmonious world where police patrol the streets without guns, but it only took three years to destroy this atmosphere." ”
Li Xiangqian said: "It doesn't matter. ”
He turned his head, looked at the scene of people on the street, and said: "The voice of the people is actually very cheap, and the words that my Azu is voluntary can be widely spread, which itself shows this, well, wife, public opinion is a double-edged sword, although it is very cool to kill political enemies, but it is easy to hurt yourself." ”
"Who's your wife, go away."
"Haha, I'm very happy, get out of the way, well, there's another thing, all the children have your surname, isn't it fair, half of the children have your surname?"
", no."
Both people know that talking about this topic often helps the relationship between two people to be closer, and this is the case between men and women, if you finish the fight at the beginning, your future life may be very harmonious and very loving.
And once, he never quarrels or blushes at ordinary times, but once there is any entanglement and conflict, he can't get off the stage, and he can only be forced to separate.
These two people are masters of political fighting, and naturally they are also masters of falling in love, which is the same thing.
Two conspirators, a pair of dog men and women, were drinking happily while looking at the troublemakers below the restaurant.
However, this is not the case with those talents.
The ins and outs of the previous one were actually quite simple.
There are many people who have fallen off the list, which is also normal, the Chinese have been playing the imperial examination for a thousand years, and the students who have fallen off the list have always accounted for the majority, for them, after falling off the list, go home with wounds, and fight again next time, this is also the right thing to do, even if it is a poor talent.
However, this is the first time that the talents of these northern provinces have the courage to enter Beijing for the exam, in the past, this is the power of the world to raise people, although they did not pass the exam, they can also say proudly, "When Lao Tzu was in the imperial capital...... I've also snapped the most famous prostitute in the imperial capital......"
However, once they heard that someone had assassinated other exams during this exam and tried to drug him to fail the exam, some people thought to themselves: On the day of the exam, I seemed to be dizzy, yes, there seemed to be something wrong with the water I drank before.
Before the exam, I seemed to have eaten alcohol with someone, did he drug me?
If it was that kind of thing, the other peers who passed the test, but they didn't, under the instigation of jealousy, also came to take a look.
Shan Liwen, Wu Qihua and Lin Weijian told the truth, in fact, they were temporary, because looking at Wang Daren, he was really much stronger than them, if he was not his opponent once the exam was opened, he was cautious, he could accept how much money the world was rich, but he couldn't accept that his neighbor's salary had increased by one level.
Many people beat the drum and voice their grievances, as the saying goes, there are jujubes and no jujubes to hit three poles, in case you get hit, if you are unreliable, just say, Shan Liwen and the three of them have wolf hearts and dog lungs, and they have also drugged him, and if they are more reliable, they suspect that they know people, and if they are in the exam, they will drug him and assassinate him.
Of course, they didn't dare to go to the palace to make trouble, for fear of getting involved in any political fights, after all, now that the new dynasty was established, it was definitely a bad thing to be suspected of "supporting" the former Ming, so how many years in advance of the Ming Dynasty was clearly petitioned, from the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, and then to the original examination of the Guozijian, and finally, they all gathered in front of the Confucian Temple in the imperial capital.
At the beginning, the shouts came and went, and the content was different, but under the leadership of some five cents, they all converged into one sentence: "Retest, retest!" ”
Now that you have a reason, why not make a fuss about it, in case you get hit.
If you don't make trouble, there's nothing, but you can get something, if it's you, don't you make trouble?
Governing the country according to troubles is not an empty word, but a real economic issue.
For the candidates, if you don't make trouble, you can pay o and get o, but if you make trouble, you will pay very little, at most 1, but once you make trouble, you will take the test again and win, but it will be a lifetime of glory and wealth, wearing gold and silver, and embezzlement and bribery.
And for the "government", if they make trouble, to meet their requirements, they may only need to pay the price of 1, and sometimes they can be passed on, after all, the resources of the government also come from, but if they are not satisfied, they will make trouble, but it will bring damage to the interests of the lords of the government.
This is the simple mathematical logic of governing the country by trouble, and its real model calculations are of course very complicated, but in general.
Of course, retaking the exam means the opposite of these failed candidates, the candidates in the exam are dissatisfied, originally, waiting for the list in the exam, you can get the title of Jinshi, make a wish, and even return to your hometown to take care of housework during a few months of vacation, and take the opportunity to marry a few concubines or something, but before leaving, there was such an unfortunate thing.
The ghost knows who started this wind, anyway, in front of the students who fell off the list, there were proud, complacent prospective jinshi, who successfully conducted the palace examination, in the face of these "defeated dogs", although they did not have an advantage in numbers, but the momentum was also sufficient, plus once the jinshi was admitted, there were scoundrels in the market who took refuge in them to help do evil, therefore, although the number of people was insufficient, but the degree of arrogance was high.
In order to obtain first-hand data, Li Xiangqian naturally came to the side and watched the farce.
"This is the posture that a ruler should have, I always envy the king of England, sitting there laughing and watching the nobles and commoners fight, I spent the money given by the state and enjoyed the honor, I was always so upright with the old Zhu family, and the civil official group who directly charged into battle died."
Zhao Jiaren said: "It should be like this. ”
Li Xiangqian said slowly: "It's a pity that these things, even at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there is no way to investigate, I always suspect that Wuzong Zhu Houzhao and Xizong Zhu Youxiao died almost the same, after falling into the water, he died unexpectedly a few days later, after he died, most of his cronies were killed, and after death, there was a lot of sewage on his body." ”
