The early summer sun is warm and brilliant, and the zongzi banquet has been set up on the platform in front of the Jinde Palace.

It is rare for the prince to spend the festival at home, and the lunch delivered by the dining house is very rich.

There are eight flavors of rice dumplings with bean paste, jujube paste, chestnuts, preserved fruits, fresh meat, bacon, salted egg yolk, and lotus seed lily, which are collectively known as Bazhen zongzi.

There are various Sichuan-style dishes such as pepper and hemp eel, watercress silver carp, boiled Xuewang, etc.; There are mung bean cakes, lotus leaf porridge and other dim sum snacks; There are various water wines such as ephedra wine and wine, as well as tea braised eggs specially ordered by Zhu Pingjian, and finally the fruit shaved ice invented by Zhu Pingjin's wife last summer.

The ministers followed Zhu Pingjin to conquer northern Sichuan for more than half a year, although it was not a wind meal and sleeping in the open, and they ate much better than ordinary soldiers, but it was also because of the simplicity, and a simple working meal was passed, where is there such a luxurious banquet to enjoy? Moreover, this banquet is still recognized as the royal banquet of the Wei Jiashu land!

"You have a gift, don't dare to resign."

The feast rewarded by the prince can not only be eaten legally and reasonably, but also eaten out of the level and style, and the people who eat it can be happy.

Zhu Pingjin took the lead, and the ministers did not say a word, feasting, and their eyes and expressions passed back and forth, expressing their affirmation and denial of a certain dish.

Song Zhenzong naturally prefers oily bacon dumplings, but the meat dumplings are hidden in a large pot of dumplings, and he can't tell who is who. He peeled off three zongzi in a row, but none of them were meat zongzi, so angry that he poked them with the tips of chopsticks.

Zou Guoping, who was beside Song Zhenzong, knew the details of his old partner, so he hurriedly grabbed one for him and nodded with chopsticks. It turns out that the difference between meat dumplings and vegetarian dumplings depends on the rope, the meat dumplings are tied with straw rope, but the vegetarian dumplings are made of cotton thread.

Wu Jishan and Gu Jiang were next to each other. Wu Jishan diligently prepared vegetables for Gu Jiang, but Gu Jiang opened his mouth and sweated like rain.

It turns out that Wu Jishan is a native of Kunshan, Gu Jiangbu's dishes, all of which are the most local flavor of Sichuan - spicy.

Sun Hong and Wu Tai sat together, but they didn't say a word, and they sent food to their bowls and mouths, which seemed to be very palatable.

Wang Xingwu, Shu Guoming and Hong Qiren are all from big families, the difference is that one is a servant, one is a poor talent, and the other is a young master. The three of them chatted while eating, whispering, and didn't know what to say.

The one who moves slowly is Zheng Anmin, who is under Zhu Pingjin. I saw that he first tasted all the dishes on the table one by one, and then slowly peeled the zongzi with scissors and chopsticks, and his hands were not stained with any oil.

It's just that although Cao Sanbao is on the military plane, he is a slave in Zhu Pingjin's mansion, and he is not allowed to sit according to the rules. I had to wait aside and help the master peel the zongzi.

If you do good deeds, you should let everyone know that this is Zhu Pingjin's style of acting.

He saw that the ministers were eating happily, so he took the initiative to break the taboo of "eating without speaking", and pointed to the plate of sauce-colored eggs and said:

"Mr. Gu, Bennan Naoto. This son was afraid that Mr. Gu would not be accustomed to the Sichuan flavor, so he asked the Dianshan to prepare spiced tea eggs for Mr. Gu. It's just that there was no black tea in a hurry, so I replaced it with green tea! ”

China is a country of etiquette. The so-called etiquette is the rules of society, so China is a country that pays special attention to rules.

The host prepares dishes carefully for the guests, which shows how much the host values the guests. Guests should thank their host no matter how they are not rude. Moreover, the owner of this room is not an ordinary person, but the lord of a feudal country. Between the host and the guest, even if there is no name of the monarch and the minister, there is a difference between dignity and inferiority.

As soon as Zhu Pingjin said a word, the eyes of the ministers naturally swept to today's special guest Gu Jiang.

It's just that Gu Jiang's performance was not unexpected by Zhu Pingjian.

Facing everyone's eyes, he just smiled with his mouth with a jet-black egg yolk, inhaled twice with the spicy hole that was bubbling with his nose, and then signaled to Zhu Pingjin and everyone with two dirty hands that had grabbed tea eggs:

Delicious! Enjoyable!

This is a madman who knows no world!

Everyone immediately came to a conclusion. No matter how much the prince values him, it is best not to work with him, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable......

"Gentlemen, you don't know, Mr. Gu went thousands of miles into Shu, but he became a prisoner of Lord Wu, and he was accused of being a thief!" Facing everyone's surprised eyes, Zhu Pingjin didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and sold Wu Jishan first, "Fortunately, Lord Wu did a good trial, and a talent was judged in the first instance!" A few days ago, Mr. Gu presented four strategies to his son, namely, "On the Military System," "On the Situation," "On Tian Gong," and "On Money Law." Among them, the "Theory of the Situation" (Note 1) is particularly incisive, pointing directly to Jingxiang as the world's leader. Gentlemen, you may wish to listen to ......"

……

It turned out to be a sour article that made this strange person who didn't know how to discuss etiquette enter the court! Everyone suddenly realized. But even if the literati are contemptuous, they will not openly express their emotions. Martial artists don't have this kind of cultivation. Song Zhenzong's cheeks were drummed, and he was about to stand up and speak. At this time, Shu Guoping, who was quick-eyed, quietly pressed Song Zhenzong's wrist and warned him with talking eyes: The prince has something to say, what are you anxious about!

"Now that our national army is sweeping the land of Shu, the thieves are terrified, and the local tyrants and inferior gentry are running around. Protecting the country and the people, the world is peaceful, and it has started from my own Shu land. However, in the north and south, in the provinces of the Central Plains, thieves attacked the city and conquered the land, and starved all over the four fields. The Tartars outside the gate are fierce, and they have repeatedly beaten our strong generals. Looking at it this way, the world will change greatly, sooner or later. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Pingjin paused. He glanced at the courtiers one by one, and met their attentive and determined gazes. These people were all single-handedly promoted or cultivated by him, and they were the most reliable groups around him. On this occasion, he would like to give them a blow and a reminder:

"The son of this world has the mandate of heaven, inherited the ancestral industry, always takes the Daming Jiangshan Sheji as his own responsibility, and is never willing to be trapped in Shu to be a prince of peace......"

"The last general will follow the prince to make meritorious contributions, and he can also seal his wife and son, and he will always be rich and noble; In the future, we will be indispensable to leave a name in history and draw Lingyan Pavilion! There was a loud voice that couldn't help but shout excitedly, and it was very gentle. Presumably, this statement has been brewing back and forth hundreds of times in his heart.

More people just lowered their voices:

"Wechen obeys the orders of the prince!"

"The last general is the only son of the world!"

"Since my Shu land is in the Central Plains, there must be a place to use soldiers." When Zhu Pingjin said this, he paused again and glanced at the ministers:

"Mr. Gu came to Shu from Jiankang, but his eyes saw the Ming Dynasty thousands of miles away. Mr. Gu has studied the history of the rise and fall of various dynasties, and takes Jingxiang as the voice of the world, and it is urgent to gather troops.

However, based only on historical facts, it seems to be thin. It's important to know that times change, and everything is different.

For example, our national defense army uses fire guns as swords and spears, and cannons as strong crossbows, which is the only one seen in the past dynasties. Therefore, the son of this world said: We are not only the inheritors of history, but also the creators of history! ”

"What the prince said is good!" Zheng Anmin took the lead in clamoring, "We are writing history!" ”

"Carry on the past and forge ahead into the future, and create brilliance again!" Sun Hong will always be a model for learning and applying new words and sentences.

"Zhongshan is pale and yellow, and millions of heroes go down to the river!" Cheng Xiangfeng is the custodian of Zhu Pingjian's poetry and calligraphy works. It is a good place to use it, which is both appropriate and timely.

However, in the midst of the praise, some people expressed their worries in a loud voice.

"Jingxiang's place is a flat river, it comes quickly, and it loses faster! The sacrifices are all Qin people, and the thieves ride back and forth without a trace. How can a group of our infantry withstand the onslaught of the iron cavalry? ”

Some people fired guns, but no one answered, and the scene was a little cold for a while.

Zhu Pingjin knew that the ministers were not worried about Gu Jiang, but about themselves.

He smiled and said: "Soldiers, the place of death and death, you must not ignore it!" Mr. Gu regards Jingxiang as the world's leader, I don't know what you gentlemen think? Lord Wu? ”

Shizi directly named him, which caught Wu Jishan off guard. However, he still stood up quickly and waved his hand to Zhu Pingjian:

"The son, the one who wants to speak, the son already knows."

"On that day, Lord Wu deliberately mentioned the Three Kingdoms, just to let this prince pay attention to the loss of Shuhan Jingzhou and the defeat of Qishan Mountain, and also to recommend Mr. Gu for this prince!"

"Weichen's careful thinking, where can he hide it from the world...... The son of the world is young and wise, and Weichen throws himself to the ground! ”

"That's good!" Zhu Pingjin smiled and beckoned Wu Jishan to sit down, "I will ask Master Wu to tell you about the experience of reading the Three Kingdoms!" ”

"The minister is busy with mundane things all day long, so he has no experience. If you talk about experience, it is also inspired by Mr. Gu! ”

Wu Jishan smiled and waved his hand, and naturally pushed Gu Jiang out beside him.

……

Gu Jiang is known as Gu Wei, but he was born in a scholarly family, has received a good education since he was a child, and is not a person who is not rude. He just doesn't know, or doesn't bother to know, to express his thoughts and emotions appropriately in a way that normal people are accustomed to.

Shizi knew that he was from Kunshan, and he also knew that Kunshan people liked to eat tea and eggs, so he specially asked people to cook for him, which made Gu Jiang very moved. Shizi praised his four theories in public, which made Gu Jiang more excited and admired.

However, the eavesdropping behind the screen in the morning and the adventure of almost being hammered to death by the martial artists made it clear to Gu Jiang that the ministers of the Shu Palace's Mansion had huge differences on the direction of future development.

The governor of the royal palace and the commander of the army clearly supported going north, and the other confidants and important ministers present here today may also have their own opinions.

They either support going north, or south, or east, or even hope to sit in Shu to watch the great changes.

Because of this, while the prince arranged for him to eavesdrop, he also let other ministers eavesdrop in another place; While praising his "Theory of the Situation," he also pointed out his shortcomings of "relying on history." Now the prince of the world names Lord Wu, and in disguise he names him. Let him be the champion of the debate, and meet the challenges of the opinions of the other parties.

It's a game you can't lose.

lost, lost the trust of the son, Gu Jiang's ideal of establishing a meritorious career in his life, and his ambition to govern the country and the world, are likely to turn into a wasted stream, leaving him from now on, making him regret it for life. If he wins, he will be able to enter the court proudly and become an official member of today's royal banquet.

Opportunity always favors those who are prepared.

For today's competition, Gu Jiang has studied and thought for many years.

Therefore, when Wu Jishan gave Gu Jiang the opportunity to speak, he did not hesitate, and even stood up and said aloud:

"Does the prince know about "Longzhong Pair"?"

"Longzhong Pair", a compulsory lesson for middle school students in later generations, how can Zhu Pingjin not know? It's just that Zhu Pingjin hasn't answered yet, and Gu Jiang has already recited the essence of "Longzhong Pair": Since Dong Zhuo has come, heroes have been ...... If this is the case, then the hegemony can be successful, and the Han family can be prosperous!

When Gu Jiang recited, everyone said yes, including the martial artist Song Zhenzong. It can be seen that after the promotion of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, this article has become a well-known Internet celebrity joke and has accumulated a lot of likes. Zhuge Liang's image has been sublimated from a loyal and patriotic politician to an unpredictable power strategist.

However, the reason why Gu Jiang was able to become a great man in the new era was precisely because he dared to subvert all the previous great men.

"The reason why Shu Han was defeated and why Han Zuo was cut off is the root cause, it is this "Longzhong Pair"!"

Gu Jiang's words were chiseled.

Rao is everyone listened to his masterpiece "Theory of the Situation", and they were mentally prepared.

"Shizi, my lords, please listen to Gu Jiang and come along!"

Note 1: Attached to Gu Yanwu's "Theory of the Situation":

In the past, the capital was in the south, Wu, Dongzhen, Song, Qi, Liang, Chen, Southern Tang, Southern Song Fan eight dynasties. In the world of Wu, the three sides of Dingzhi, Baqiu in the west, and Anhui City and Weisu in the north. In the event of its death, the risk of the Yangtze River will be the first to be had. Yongjia Nandu, Jing, Yu, Qing, Yan and Xu Zhi half into Liu Shi, Liang and Yi into Li Xiong, with Heqi, Huaiyin, Shouyang, Sikou, Jiaocheng as the main towns. To the chaos of Fu, Yao, and Murong, they began to get Qing, Yan, Liang, and Yi, and Song because of it. and the Northern Expedition of Yuanjia, the master of the Xuan, the horse of the Buddha, settled in Guabu, so he guarded the river. Tuoba is dying in the Central Plains, Qi Liang is the main Jiangzuo, and Huainan and North are the battlefields. Taiqing internal disaster, Cheng Sheng's army, Qi slightly Huainan, Wei collected Shu Han, and Jiangling fell. Chen's Xingxing, the west can not be Shu Han, the north is lost Huai, with the Yangtze River as the border, so the river is guarded. The width of the day is fierce, the country is short, quarrying Jingkou at the same time, and died in Sui. The Southern Tang Dynasty not only lost Huainan, but also took the river as its border, and the country was unable to support it. The Song capital was in Lin'an, and the Jin People's League, the Zhonghuai River was the boundary, and the west refused to disperse the pass. Duanping annihilated Jin Caizhou and provoked troops to Mongolia. Bao You lost Shu, Xianchun lost Xiangfan, the Yuan soldiers went south, the young lord was ruined, and the general trend was not great? Try to examine the reason for the rise and death of the eight generations, and the world will talk about it, and those who steal it think are the ones who are the best in the world; Shu, the leader of the world; And the east of the two Huai Mountains, its back also. Shu is above the world. Those who established a country in the south in the past must first lose Shu and then endanger their servants. If Shu is a country and does not belong to the Central Plains, then it can be peaceful. Sun Wu is to Han, and Dong is to Li Xiong. Shu is united in the Central Plains, and the power of the world, the power of the capital, thinking that my enemy is in danger. Wang Jun came from the east of Baqiu, and Liu conspired to take Shu to regulate the Song Dynasty. Therefore, keep the first Shu. If the people of Shu are rich, it is not difficult to send troops between Qin, Feng, Ling, and Yan to shake the world. Therefore, the war was first in Shu. Zhao Dingyan: The Central Plains has been operating since Guanzhong, the Central Plains has been operating since Shu, and the fortunate Shu has been since Jingxiang. Chen Liangyan: Jingxiang is based on the left upper reaches of the river, west of Bashu, north control of Guanluo, Chu people use the tiger to look at Qi Zhen, and Qin Zheng Emperor. Since the beginning of the Eastern Dynasty, heavy towns have been set up to strangle the Central Plains. Meng Heng said: Xiangfan, the foundation of the country, will be restored from a hundred wars, and it should be the manager. This is the case with the Song people. And the Yuan Dynasty took the Song Dynasty, and the fruit was from Xiangyang Fancheng to Hubei, so the people who surrounded the two cities with the power of the world for five years, and crossed the river, and took the peace in two years. Therefore, there is no Shu Russell country, and the east is also; You can't go to the country without Jingxiang, and Chu goes to Chen to migrate to Shouchun. There is no Huai north and south, and if the river is guarded, it will perish, and Chen Zhiming and the Southern Tang Dynasty will protect the great. Therefore, Hou Xing is anxious. The good keepers of the ancients are in danger, and they will make their strength more than in danger, and those who guard Huai are not in Huai, but in Xu Si; Those who guard the river are not in the river, but in Lianghuai. In this case, we have more room to defend the war, and the national situation can be revitalized. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent the two Huai urgent. Or say, Emperor Gao tried to take the south and the north, and why did he keep it? Foolishness is also good. Whoever takes the world will live in the upper reaches of the world, and then he can control people. Heroes are useless, and nothing can be done. And people know that Emperor Gao's capital Jinling, but do not know that Emperor Gao took the world, when Jiangdong was undecided, first with a large army to conquer Xianghan, Pinghuai'an, descend to Xusu, and then the north of the Central Plains, this use of troops to get the situation first. And Chu Zhiba is also in Yi; Han Gaozhi started from Pei into Qin, from Nanyang analysis; Guangwu originated from Nanyang; Song Wu annihilated the Southern Yan, from the Huai into the Si, from the Qin into the river, this is the ancient evidence of the southern expedition to the north, there is a geographical advantage and the latter moves. If the foolish strategy is one, half of the world thinks it is one, and if it is used like a snake in the mountains, then although there are millions of teachers in the Qin Dynasty and the people of the 32nd Army, they cannot control our land: and if they accumulate power and strengthen their strength, so as to serve the enemy, they will be successful. This is a conspiracy to defend both, and the use of troops is also a tactic

Although there is no lack of literati spaciousness, this treatise on military history is still full of insight. In order to cope with the critical situation, the focus of the article is on how to break the historical curse of "the north wins the south". However, because Zhu Yuanzhang successfully (and very rarely) went on the Northern Expedition and established the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was not as superstitious as later generations about the so-called "north-south confrontation theorem".

Traditional Chinese text. Hibiki is lazy, and book friends who know traditional Chinese will read it!
