Chapter 49 Three Invite Liu Bowen
After a blink of an eye, until the twentieth year of Zhizheng, that is, in 1360, Liu Ji, who had already entered and resigned, ushered in a document in front of the door.
When he held this generous and sincere document in his hand, he did not hesitate to throw it aside when the handwriting in his hand was a little sloppy, and the invitation letter was like a ghost drawing under the dragon flying and phoenix dance, and the words that were obviously not written by real literati fell into Liu Ji's eyes.
The name of Zhu Sheng, a friend mentioned several times in the letter, is the real protagonist of the letter, and he comforted Zhu Sheng more than once in his heart: You are a deflated three, you don't want to do it yourself, forget it, why do you have to drag the uncle into the water.
What kind of goods is that poor bald donkey who has a meal and has an electric brain, I have never dealt with it, let alone thought about dealing with it, you didn't even notify me, let alone ask for the master's opinion, and sold the master out without permission, what do you mean by doing this.
You're still not my brother, where did all the confidentiality agreements we agreed with each other go?
In view of your favor to Uncle and me, you had better hide in Niu Dang Mountain and not come out, and pray to God to bless me not to see you again, otherwise Uncle I will beat you once I see you, and I will beat you twice when I see you.
Don't look at the gentleman as a literati, as a literati, the lord generally does not bully people, but the lord is not a person when he bullies people.
As for the character in the letters, who has heard of a little, the bald donkey with an excellent name in his impression, he looks down on it at all in his heart, and he can't look down on this kind of reckless man at all.
This guy who doesn't have hair on his head but only discharges electricity everywhere is just a reckless man at best, a character who is no better than Fang Guozhen, and even more bastard than him.
Let the uncle, who is full of poetry and books, serve their group of uneducated rioters, and give you reckless people who can only fight and kill, and do your daydream!
Let me serve you bastards and blind their dogs.
Therefore, Liu Ji, as the leader of the literati, simply refused this warm invitation.
At the same time, the owner of this invitation was also refused.
This master's name is: Zhu Yuanzhang!
Although he is now very disappointed in the ruling dynasty, after all, Liu Ji, who once served this court and regarded the modern and contemporary Yuan Dynasty as orthodox, looked down on Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born recklessly, from the bottom of his heart.
Now under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, there are indeed outstanding figures such as Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, Zhu Yuanzhang, etc., but in Liu Ji's view, these people are just some rebel rebels, they are just a group of rabble who will only prosper for a while and disappear in a flash.
The reason why this group of rabble can develop is that their boss is an outlaw who is not afraid of life and death, and is full of fat stomachs and high hearts, and more because they have not yet encountered the real main force of the Yuan Dynasty, as long as the Yuan army conducts a large-scale conquest, this group of rabble will immediately collapse.
At this time, when Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting in Jinling, learned that Liu Ji, who had been invited by kind words, did not give his envoy Sun Yan a little face at all, nor did he give himself a little face as the boss behind the scenes, let alone follow him to create prosperity together, Zhu Yuanzhang, who already had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, had smoke in his lungs and fire in his eyes.
I'll push your lungs!
Guys, since I rebelled, no one has dared to refuse me directly.
You Liu Ji is the first.
You cow, you Liu Ji cow is boundless!
For the sake of your bull anger, in order to vent the anger in your heart, and in order to carry forward your stubborn donkey temper of not leaving, I have decided, uncle, and I have spent it with you today.
It depends on whether you are a cow with a strong temper, or a donkey with a cow petal.
When he learned from Li Shanchang and other literati that Zhuge Liang had gone through three visits to the thatched cottage when he came out of the mountain, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had already made long-term preparations, gasped for breath and handed over a handwritten letter to Sun Yan.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who knew that the literati were high and the literary world was even more extraordinary, after being rejected once, he had learned a lesson, and he quickly changed his war strategy, and he sent Sun Yan, a famous negotiator in his hand, to invite, and Zhu Yuanzhang had already prepared the gold, silver and jewelry with Sun Yan.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born as a martial artist, firmly believes that it is difficult for anyone to refuse in the face of such a huge benefit gift.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who has always believed that money can make ghosts grind as a wise saying, began his money offensive after failing to recruit him.
As a generation of military ministers, Zhu Yuanzhang really doesn't believe that there are people in the world who don't eat oil and salt, and don't blow firewood and rice.
The soft ones are afraid of the hard, the hard ones are afraid of the horizontal, and the horizontal ones are afraid of the dead.
I really don't believe that you are a stubborn master.
And when Liu Ji faced Zhu Yuanzhang's move, and faced Sun Yan, who was definitely a friend although he was not a confidant, Liu Ji still pursued his consistent proposition.
Faced with the warm invitation of his friends, and in the face of the money offensive that could be said to be dazzling and rich for him, Liu Ji, who was born in a literati and has a strong heart, once again rejected Zhu Yuanzhang's invitation.
But as his friend, because of the existence of friendship between friends, Liu Ji, who didn't want to make the relationship with Sun Yan too stiff, gave Sun Yan a sword that he had collected for a long time after Sun Yan left.
Come and don't be rude, in order to give you enough face for Sun Yan, I can only endure the pain and cut my love.
In order to comfort the tragic feelings of parting love with ease, and to alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere of the two parties as former friends, Liu Ji wrote a letter at the same time, and after a burst of ink, an absolutely majestic and atmospheric poem of refusal was sent to Sun Yan together with the sword.
When Sun Yan, who had just returned from the trip, received Liu Ji's sword and poems, Sun Yan, who was unhappy, did not buy Liu Ji's gift of the sword.
When he carefully read this absolutely original, non-plagiarized poem, and had absolute intellectual property rights, this absolutely turbulent poem in Sun Yan's opinion was obviously not written for himself, but for his own lord, his palms were sweaty, and his eyes were on fire.
If this document, which is obviously full of provocations and warnings, is handed over, then whether you can keep your bowl of rice is secondary, and whether you can still hold it on your shoulders is another matter.
Sun Yan, who is a pure literati, can be regarded as a complete break this time.
He really didn't expect that the people he dealt with all day long were a group of stubborn donkeys who were leading and regressing.
Needless to say, the name of the bald donkey is famous, and everyone in the army knows it, and no one dares to mess with it. But what he didn't expect today was that the literary hero he knew in his eyes as a former friend, the guy he always thought he knew very well but didn't know, turned out to be a bison character who was even more stubborn and difficult than his own boss.
On the one hand, there is a military order from the boss of his own family who will die if he can't complete the task under high pressure, and on the other hand, he is a former friend who repositioned and reevaluated, sandwiched between these two people to do things, and don't want to do anything.
In the face of the military order that the boss of his own family will not tolerate refutation, this matter will definitely end miserably in this army in the future, Sun Yan looked at the exquisite short sword in his hand, his eyes were on fire, and he scolded his mother in his heart.
Liu Ji, your conscience is greatly broken.
Is that how you treat your brother?
Uncle, I finally relied on my own hard work to win the position, and today it is because of your non-cooperation that I am embarrassed and lose my future.
When you go out in the future, don't say that I know you.
The relationship between the two of us in the past has been severed from now on.
As for the broken knife you gave me, it is worthless compared to your future.
Everything today is thanks to you, in order to vent the anger and depression in your heart, how did you send this broken knife, and how did I send it back to you.
You'd better keep it to yourself!
As for you always holding this old toothless dagger, do you want it to give birth or kill yourself automatically or simply use it to kill yourself or self-mutilate yourself, that's your freedom, whatever you want!
From now on, your affairs have nothing to do with me.
At the same time, while returning the short sword and paperwork to you, uncle, I finally gave you a letter as a return gift, a not very wonderful but absolutely decisive "Sword Song" to you, but also to express the future affection between us.
From then on, you and I have nothing to do with each other;
From now on, you and I will be severed.
The content of "Song of the Sword" is as follows:
The sword is bright, and you can be a dragon,
It's just the ancient snow of Yinshan Mountain, for whom this green hibiscus is knotted.
I don't dare to play the dragon spirit, and my righteousness runs through the blue sky and cold.
Return the monarch to the Lord, if the year of the drought for the rain.
This may be a poem at the time, but it should be regarded as a word article today, and its general content is to say: I can't afford to give me such a good sword, I'm afraid of Yang Shou, you are also a master, since you know astronomy and geography, then you must also know who the future master is.
Rather than giving me such a good thing and wasting such a precious resource, it is better to take this opportunity to give it to the Lord who can achieve great things in the future in your eyes, and I believe that if your guess is correct, even if you encounter a great drought like this year, it will definitely rain rain from heaven to benefit the world.
After writing the "Sword Song", Sun Yan, as a negotiator, sent it to Liu Ji and did not bother with it.
In the face of this letter, but the meaning is more of a broken book, Liu Ji, who already feels that he has done too much and played too much, finally began to reflect deeply.
Since literati like Sun Yan, who were slightly admired in their eyes, had broken away from the rule of the Yuan Dynasty and taken refuge in the reckless heroes who were regarded by the people as the masters of the Ming Dynasty, then why did they have to stick to the rules.
I'm not young now, and even if I have to toss, I won't have long to toss.
Instead of being tortured here and wasting his youth, why not jump out and do his vigorous career yourself.
Even if you hang up and ascend to heaven in the end, it won't be in vain.
From young to now middle-aged, Liu Ji, who has been disappointed in the modern and contemporary court, began to make a basic prediction of the political rule of the Yuan Dynasty, and faced the Yuan Dynasty government that has been corrupted to the root, as Liu Ji, who has been suffering from pain and torture, but full of enthusiasm and will to reform, finally made the most important decision in his life after careful consideration.
Since I am powerless to reform you, I will overthrow you by force.
All the humiliations that have been painful in the past will be repaid from now on.
After his mind opened, Liu Ji, who had completely gotten rid of the outdated idea that one king does not serve the other masters, finally untied the knot in his heart.
Liu Ji, who had already asked for two resignations, finally came to Yingtian at the kind invitation of Zhu Yuanzhang and began to serve the red regime that he regarded as a rioter, a mud that could not support the wall, and a few sections shorter than the orthodoxy of the Yuan Dynasty.
At the same time, at the same moment when Liu Ji arrived, there were three other people who came with him, their names were: Song Lian, Zhang Yi, and Ye Chen, and the four of them had a famous and loud name, and the four of them were called "Mr. Zhedong Four".
It was also at the same time that Liu Ji, as the head of the "Four Gentlemen", made the most important political choice in his life.
Overthrow the bastard government that has made itself go up and down, and saddled itself with shame and scars.
Create a prosperous dynasty that is absolutely new for yourself and the great country.
Since it is not for me, it is easy for me to destroy it.
