A normal person is often a mediocre person;

An abnormal person is either a madman or a great man. But even if he was a great man, he was still a madman in the eyes of normal people in his time.

In the era when the whole people look at their faces, if they are ugly, they have no personality. A person who is ugly, crazy and has great pursuits, even if he has a diploma and a little money, is very unpopular!

Gu Jiang is such a person.

He is trying to become a great man, but while the great man's career is still ongoing, the fame of the weirdo has become a complete tense.

He was taken into the police shop by the stubborn scholar policeman Li Xiping, and was taken to the place of Zhu Pingjian, the son of Shu, by the discerning Wu Jishan, which put an unknown question mark on his great man's career.

However, as soon as he entered the study of the prince, his unusual speech and demeanor put a big exclamation mark on the curious Zhu Pingjian.

Fortunately, Zhu Pingjin has read countless people, and his belly is boundless, and anything beautiful and ugly is a fart under the brilliance of his traverser. Therefore, Gu Jiang did not enjoy the treatment of the messy stick, but got the title of "Mr".

……

Two salted duck egg-like eyes are attached to the eye sockets, and even if they are laughing, they are laughing creepy. What's even more terrifying is that he is smiling at you, but there is no person like you in his eyes.

Wu Jishan recommended a pocket bump man who can laugh!

This is Zhu Pingjin's first impression of Gu Jiang. However, he still had to assume the posture of Corporal Lixian to face this laughing pocket-sized bumpman.

"Mr. Gu is laughing, I don't know what he is laughing at?" Zhu Pingjin asked patiently.

The identity of the emperor made him quietly straighten his waist, as if sitting in such a posture could win back his dignity from the rude behavior of no one in the bumpy man's eyes.

"Hehe, the one the student laughs at is the dragon behind the son!"

"Could it be that there is a mistake in the drawing of this dragon? Please give me some advice! ”

"Unmistakable! The students laugh at this dragon and phoenix as the crown!

The dragon has no crown, and the world has been determined since ancient times.

Why? There are clouds in the Book of Rites: crown, supreme (Note 1).

There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two kings in the country! With a phoenix crown and a dragon's head, Hu is the supreme in the world? This student so laughs too! ”

"This man is rude!" Zhu Pingjin suddenly became angry.

The dragon and the phoenix crown are, of course, the ghost idea of his wife Luo Yuhong to torture people.

Zhu Pingjin had the heart to reorganize the Asian heroism, but thinking that he had wronged his wife to live in the barracks of the non-standard factory of the township enterprise in what she said, he had to make concessions.

In exchange, the screen in his wife's office painted a picture of a flying dragon and a phoenix. In terms of the spatial layout of the picture, the flying dragon is a little higher than the Xiangfeng.

But the filthy thing between Zhu Pingjin and his wife is a taboo for everyone in the Shu Palace. Even if someone saw these two pictures, no one would dare to mention half a sentence in front of Zhu Pingjin.

Who knew that the first sentence of this bumpy man when he came in broke the delicate relationship between Zhu Pingjin and his wife!

Zhu Pingjin also did not grow up as a vegetarian. Moreover, he is also an undergraduate student who graduated from university and a graduate student who graduated from school D. He decided to use his eloquence to break his opponent.

The specific point of operation is to quietly change the concept and lead you into the urn; then put him on the line and criticized him; Then he used his spirit to flicker, and let him willingly bow down under his dragon robe; Finally, he drained his skills and kicked out the door.

"I'm afraid this is inappropriate, sir!" Zhu Pingjin began to fight back.

"Students ask the son of the world to teach!"

Without waiting for Zhu Pingjin to unfold, the bumpy man had already put on a posture to face the battle.

"The Supreme One, the one who commands the world! What does the gentleman think? ”

"Yes!"

This is just a general noun concept, and Bumpman nodded in response without realizing that it was wrong.

"Sir, looking at today, who can be the supreme in the world?"

So the answer is not known to the whole world? Naturally, it is Emperor Chongzhen who is today!

Bumpman was about to answer, when he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Because his friend Huang Zongxi once fiercely believed that the world is the master and the king is the guest. The monarch is just a position created to facilitate the governance of the world, and it is essentially no different from the three princes and nine secretaries. Therefore, the monarch has neither the aura of a god, nor is he a dragon grandson, but a special worker invited by the common people of the world.

Huang Zongxi's bizarre theories are naturally related to the tragic death of his father in the imperial prison (Note 2).

But such rebellious words, which can be freely discussed and debated among friends, can be brought to this place today? If Shu Shizi was furious and asked the court to arrest Huang Zongxi, wouldn't he have harmed his friend?

Bumpman hesitated.

Zhu Pingjin saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart. He was determined to take advantage of the victory and not give Bumpman any time to think.

"Sir will definitely say: the world is the same

Venerable, naturally this is the son of today! But no? ”

"Yes!"

Bumpman finally overcame his hesitation and replied in the affirmative.

Zhu Pingjin's first step was successful. He cleanly sealed his throat with a sword:

"Since the Son of Heaven is the supreme in the world, why is the thief at home and the thief outside? I wonder if the gentleman can teach me? ”

In the first round of the competition, Zhu Pingjin won a big victory.

The first time Jun prelude was right, Gu Jiang was very embarrassed and stuck.

This kind of stagnation in thinking leads to a freeze in speech, which is called inconsiderate to be polite, and ugly in public to be directly called.

Zhu Pingjin let Gu Jiang understand his own strength, and he was also careful to save his face for him.

Zhu Pingjin used the topic that readers like to debate the most to hit back at Gu Jiang, which provided Gu Jiang with the opportunity to continue to speak and the space to play. According to Zhu Pingjian's prediction of the following routine, Bumpman should kneel down to him with tears of gratitude, and then sing to him:

You are my heart, you are my liver, you are three-quarters of my life!

However, Zhu Pingjin was wrong.

Gu Jiang is a person who strives to become a great man, and all the routines of ordinary people are scum in front of him!

He was sluggish for 0.01 seconds, and then easily counterattacked back with Zhu Pingjian's logic: "Since it is said to be reversed, since it is said to be Kou, it is because the Son of Heaven is still the supreme in the world!" ”

The person who got stuck was replaced by Zhu Pingjin this time.

As the Ming royal family and the lord of the Shu domain, it is impossible to say that Chuang Xian and the fourth elder brother are both legal representatives of an equal country!

However, Zhu Pingjin's little embarrassment was quickly resolved by his opponent, because Gu Jiang had a deeper insight into the dragon on the screen:

"The world regards the dragon as the Son of Heaven, so the Son of Heaven is the only one in the world. The world takes it for granted, but in fact it is fallacious!

On the other hand, in this painting, the phoenix crown is attached to the dragon's horns, the wind and clouds are around the dragon's body, and the mountains and seas are entrusted to the dragon's claws. The dragon is to the yang, and the phoenix is to the yin. Yin and yang match, heaven and also, earth and also, people also!

Harmony, heaven and earth are harmonious, the country is prosperous, the people are prosperous, and the six animals are prosperous.

The wind and clouds, the dragon's attachment, and the dragon's companion, swim with the dragon in the world. Monarchs and ministers know each other and rule the world together. The literary movement is uplifted, and a generation is prosperous; Wuyun Fangchang, the peak of ten thousand people......"

This is a master, Zhu Pingjin came to the conclusion that he must not judge people by appearance.

Gu Jiang is using the painting on the screen to explain his political ideas, and he is also considering whether Zhu Pingjin is a phoenix inhabitable sycamore.

"The mountains and seas, the dragon is also the foil, and the dragon is also returned, and the dragon lives and dies together......" Gu Jiang was still talking loudly.

"Dragonborne, Jun also! The mountains and seas, the people! It is the unity of the monarch and the people! ”

Zhu Pingjin played instead of Gu Jiang:

"If you have no people, if you are a lonely bird and a wild beast, you will lose your roots; The people have no king, if the fish floats and the turtle swims, it will lose its essence.

Therefore, although the world is big, only the king, the scholars, and the people are also!

Those who have a family and a country are not a family with a surname. Scholars and gentlemen are like the wind and clouds to the dragon, and benevolence, righteousness and morality are all over the world. The common people are to the monarch and the ministers, as the heaven and the earth are to the dragon......"

Before Zhu Pingjin finished speaking, Gu Jiang was already full of tears and shouted loudly:

"Those who defend the country seek it by their kings and their ministers, and those who eat meat; Those who protect the world are cheap and responsible!

The king of the world cannot rule alone.

The son of the world is willing to rule the world with the scholars and the people, why is the family and the country not protected, and how can the world die! ”

For!

Stop!

Zhu Pingjin was shocked!

He asked, "Does Mr. Gu know who Gu Yanwu is?" ”

"Gu Yanwu?" Gu Jiang was stunned for a moment, and Liang Jiufang shook his head, "Students don't know!" ”

"But the sir?" Zhu Pingjin did not give up and reminded repeatedly.

"There is a large population among the student clan, but there is really no such person as Gu Yanwu!" Gu Jiang confirmed again.

Ay! Zhu Pingjin shook his head and sighed (Note 3).

"Can the prince have an old relationship with that Gu Yanwu?" Gu Jiang asked puzzled.

However, this time it was not Zhu Pingjin who explained, but his recommender and presiding judge Wu Jishan.

I saw Wu Jishan's face like a peach blossom, his face with spring water, and his smile was lovely:

"Mr. Gu doesn't know, my lord is thirsty for talent. I heard that there was a famous Confucian Gu Yanwu who heard the avenue, so he asked Uncle Qiu Guo to bring a handwritten letter to the south of the Yangtze River. If you find that Gu Yanwu, you have to invite him to Shu for a while......

"But what about Jiangdong celebrities and Sichuan Provincial Relatives?" Gu Jiang hurriedly asked.

"Exactly!" Wu Jishan said with a smile: "Wu Weiye, the younger brother of this official, is also fortunate to be on the list!" ”

"Could it be ......" Gu Jiang asked as he groped into his arms, "Lord Wu is the brother of Mr. Plum Village?" ”

"It's like a fake!" Zhu Pingjin smiled while looking at what Gu Jiang could take out of his arms.

"But Mr. Meicun said that his brother is the county commander of Chengdu, how did Lord Wu become the county guard of Chengdu again? The imperial court system is promoted in different places. Chengdu order no

It may go straight to Chengdu ......"

Gu Jiang's words made Wu Jishan's fat face reveal the haze familiar to Zhu Pingjian:

"This official is still the Chengdu County Order, which is the official of the imperial court; This official is also the prefect of Chengdu, and that is the official of the prince! ”

Oh! Gu Jiang, who has the first IQ and the lowest EQ, finally suddenly realized.

He took out a letter from his bosom and handed it over: "Mr. Plum Village's family is a calligrapher and Master Wu, he will leave Jinling with Mr. Qiu in April, get up and go to Sichuan, presumably by now......"

Wu Jishan took the letter, tore it open, and in a blink of an eye, he turned back to smiling:

"Weichen Qi played the son: Uncle Qiu Guo bought a Xiyi sea boat in Zhoushanwei off the coast of Ningbo. Along with the sailors of Xiyi on board, they were hired. Uncle Qiu sent a message to Meicun, and Uncle Qiu planned to use this boat to enter the river and transport the provincial relatives to Yiling ......"

"Good!" Zhu Pingjin said happily. This is the news he has been waiting for for a long time.

"Wechen restarted the son: The Wechen clan has sold their houses and fields, and soon moved to Shudi. According to the order of the prince, they have released rumors in Taicang...... But Meicun said, he wanted to resign, but the prince valued it, so he took a year off on the grounds of recuperation......"

Well, that's even better news!

"Lord Wu is commendable for his loyalty!" Zhu Pingjin smiled and asked Wu Jishan: "I don't know where Lord Wu plans to move the clan?" ”

"The minister is Chengdu Mansion, and it is always inappropriate to go down to the melon field and plum! The minister thinks that Meizhou is now in chaos, and it is a time when there is a shortage of people. It's better to move here, I don't know if the son is allowed to ......"

Zhu Pingjin is more thoughtful than Wu Jishan.

"Yes! Liu Lianpeng laid down a big Zhuangzi a few days ago, and this son gave it to the Wu family! Meizhou, the birthplace of the Three Sus. Outstanding people, rich in products......"

"Thank you to the Wu clan for your succession!"

……

The dialogue between the monarch and the minister is happy.

It's a pity that Gu Jiang is not the kind of person who can be funny.

"Shizi, with all due respect. Although the Nayi people's sea boat is large and strong, the sea is like a flat road. However, its steering makes the sail very cumbersome, and if it is dexterous and simple, it is far inferior to my Daming sea ship. The students thought that if they went back to the river, they would still need to be dragged by one or two light boats! ”

Gu Jiang brushed Zhu Pingjian's face again. But Zhu Pingjian, who is on the rise, is no longer accountable.

He summoned Gu Jiang today, not only to meet Gu Jiang, Wu Jishan's so-called "southeast master", but also to hope that Gu Jiang, a traveler who walked from Kunshan to Sichuan, could explain the road he had traveled and explain the account along the way.

At present, a major strategic problem is plaguing Zhu Pingjin. Zhu Pingjin needs to use this information to clarify his thinking.

However, Zhu Pingjin misjudged again.

He was thinking about how to speak, when he saw that Gu Jiang took out a letter from his arms again, stepped forward, and raised his hands above his head:

"Now the dynasty is in danger, and there are frequent discussions of the Son of Heaven moving south. The students lived in the countryside and studied the gains and losses of the past dynasties, so in view of the disadvantages of the times, they borrowed the past to discuss the present, and obtained four strategies to prepare for the southern hunt of the Son of Heaven.

But when the students entered Shu this time, what they saw and heard, they knew that the pattern of the world was so big, far from Gu Jiang's imagination! How shallow and ugly the discussion is!

When the students came, they threw away three policy theories, leaving only one article of "Theory of the Situation", which is dedicated to His Royal Highness!

Forgive the students for their wild words:

If the prince uses this strategy, even if the capital is defeated, Shu will not die!

If Shu does not die, then the Ming Dynasty will not die!

The Ming Dynasty will not die, and the world will not die! ”

Note 1: From "Rites and Funerals"

Note 2: Huang Zongxi's fierce opposition to the imperial dictatorship, derogatory to the authority of the emperor, and satire of the state system are subjectively related to the torture and death of his father Huang Zunsu in the imperial prison in the year of the Emperor's apocalypse, and objectively related to the general environment in which the Donglin Party represents the interests of southeast industry and commerce and opposes state interference. In terms of historical effect alone, the actions of Huang Zongxi and other Donglin hawks further stimulated the already considerable estrangement between the wealthy areas in the southeast and the Ming court, resulting in mutual political use, prevention, distrust, and even confrontation. At a time when the fate of the country and the nation is in jeopardy, the contribution of the vast wealth of the southeast to the country and the nation is about zero. It was only when the braided army began to touch the hair on their heads with razors that the people of the southeast, including some Donglin party members, woke up like a dream and regretted that they should not have taken the medicine in the first place, but they no longer regretted taking the medicine. In many historical materials, it is recorded in detail and vividly how the people of the southeast welcomed the Eight Banners into the city with trepidation and dreams; After shaving their hair, how did the people of the southeast wake up from the phantom of the change of dynasty, throw the letter of appointment of the Qing court into the dung pit, and pick up the most rudimentary weapons to carry out the most desperate resistance.

Note 3: Everyone guessed correctly, Gu Jiang is the real name of Gu Yanwu, one of the three masters of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Gu Yanwu was changed by Gu Jiang after the death of the Ming Dynasty, so there was no Gu Yanwu in the Ming Dynasty. It is a fact that Gu Yanwu behaves strangely, but his appearance is not as ugly as depicted in this book.

Note 4: One of the "Four Strategies of Yi You" was originally presented by Gu Yanwu to Emperor Hongguang of the Southern Ming Dynasty as a meeting gift.
