Chapter 362: The Third Thing
Before his rebirth, Guo Bin had always been a very low-key person, of course, the main reason was probably that he had almost nothing to boast about, and he had no high-profile capital. Over time, he was forced to develop a low-key personality. Since his rebirth in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, after experiencing many challenges, he also realized that he also seemed to have high-profile capital.
From the first time he fought with Guan Hai, he pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, and used the stabbing technique that the revolutionary martyrs had explored with their lives to put Guan Hai down, which not only won the effect of everyone, but also won the favor of Tong Yuan, the spear of Heshuo. Later, he made a fortune by using the technology and knowledge that has developed abundantly in human society for 2,000 years, and he has come to this day step by step.
When Guo Bin uses the wisdom that human beings have gained through two thousand years of development, there is no bottom line and no sense of guilt. He is facing the best talents of this era, and if he doesn't exert all his strength, he, the lord, is afraid that he will immediately show his timidity. However, although he will not pretend to say that he feels some psychological burden deep down, he will not be complacent because of his own set of take-it-it practices.
Whether it is the three laws of Newtonian mechanics, the industrial production mode of streamlined production, or the production methods of soap, fine wine, and cement, he did not study it himself. Therefore, when people slapped him on the back with these things, he did not feel the slightest pride. For this, Sima Hui also praised him in front of Xi Zhicai, saying that he was "pro-virtuous and far-reaching", and he was a rare generation of heroes.
Despite this, Guo Bin has developed a character that doesn't like to babble very much, and belongs to the dog series that doesn't bark. However, after two years of experience, he has gradually realized that sometimes it is appropriate to be a little high-profile. Of course, it's not like an iron-headed baby and a stunned green man who rushes forward blindfolded, doing some kind of nonsense "invisible movement", but showing his muscles appropriately at the right time. And he also realized a truth: showing muscles at the right time can avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles, and can also save a lot of tongues.
Just like Guo Bin annihilated all the troops that went south to the south in the three cities outside the Saiwai, after this show of muscles, he could easily subdue the partial division of the two Xianbei people besieging the three cities outside the Saiwai, and he could also use this to deter other careerists who were about to move on the grassland.
Now Guo Bin deliberately took out the matter of participating in Yang Ci's funeral, the purpose is to show his muscles. You must know that Yang Cike is the grandson of Yang Zhen, who is known as "Confucius of Kansai", and he is also the teacher of today, and he is the mainstay of assisting the Son of Heaven to sit on the throne of the emperor. This is also the fundamental reason why Hongnong Yang has always been at the center of the whirlpool of the party's calamity, but it can still stand.
On the surface, it seems that the eunuchs deceived Shengcong and persecuted the party members who had high morals and were dedicated to the people, but in fact, it was just that the imperial power wanted to use the hands of the eunuchs to clean up the power of the wealthy families in the Central Plains who were all over the government and the opposition. Therefore, the eunuchs can toss those party members who are entrenched in the central government and control the power of foreign dynasties, but they can't move the Yang family, which has a close relationship with the Son of Heaven. Why? Because forming a party has always been the most taboo thing for kings. Just imagine, once the majority of officials in the central government are united, they can be as empty as possible or even completely abandoned, isn't this the truth of the so-called constitutional monarchy in modern history?
Therefore, although the Yang family is a family of poetry and books, it is a serious northwest wealthy family, and the connection with the Central Plains wealthy families is not very close, but it has become a weapon for their self-protection. In the most tragic era of the party's disaster, Yang Ciguan became Sikong, and his father Yang Bingzeguan became a captain.
It can be seen that the status of the Hongnong Yang family in the mind of the Son of Heaven, Guo Bin mentioned this matter at this time, but also to knock on the wealthy families in Yingchuan. Fulong Villa has been cooperating with wealthy families from all over the world for nearly two years, and most of the wealthy families in Yingchuan have made a lot of money with Guo Bin.
The way of the emperor is to pay attention to both grace and power. A good old man who is polite to everyone is categorically unable to be a good leader. The so-called "close is not inferior", people who only say good things, and only know how to say "good, good", "yes, yes", will not be able to stand up for prestige. In the face of today's situation, Guo Bin has given the benefits to the Yingchuan wealthy family, but he also needs to knock it from time to time. Showing muscles and showing the importance that Liu Hong, the son of heaven, attaches to Guo Bin, is Guo Bin's means.
Sure enough, when he finished speaking, the representatives of the wealthy clan in Yingchuan County present were silent for a while. When Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, Xu Shu and others saw it, they couldn't help nodding secretly, and they admired Guo Bin's methods very much. If you want to say that Guo Bin, the county guard of Yingchuan, has not stayed in Yingchuan for long, let alone have a good relationship with the wealthy families and local snakes in various places, how can there be that time? Therefore, although the two sides have maintained a fairly good relationship, Guo Bin has never appeared in Yingchuan officialdom, which can be regarded as a miracle.
The consequence of this is that although most of the local tycoons support the various decrees in the county governor's office, they always do not have a heart. Strictly speaking, the relationship between the wealthy people of Yingchuan and Guo Bin was only economic and cooperative, but not a stronger political alliance. It's not that Guo Bin doesn't want to, and it's not that the wealthy families around the world are deliberately taking care of the relationship between the local snakes, but the relationship between the two sides has not reached that point, and many things in the officialdom can't be said as clearly as their own people.
Therefore, now that Guo Bin has finally returned to Yingchuan, his first task is to establish prestige in the whole county, only in this way can the power of Yingchuan County be integrated as soon as possible, support each other economically, rely on each other, advance and retreat together politically, share blessings and misfortunes, and truly give full play to the advantages of a large-scale group and earn political and economic benefits to the greatest extent.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Guo Bin was very happy in his heart, but he said quietly on his face: "I went north to Beijing this time, and the third and most important thing is to welcome the coffin of Mr. Liu Ziqi, Marquis of Zhongling, to return to his hometown. Ziqi is Liu Tao's cousin, and in the first year of Zhongping (184), he was named the Marquis of Zhongling.
"Liu Gong is an easy person, does not cultivate prestige, is not informal, and is brave and strategic. The friends you make must be like-minded, even if you are poor and cannot be moved. Several times for the country is a book, so offend the powerful and eunuchs. Just a month earlier, he had been falsely accused by eunuchs of colluding with Zhang Jiao and thrown into prison. Liu Gong was mighty and unyielding, and finally died of hunger strike. Guo Bin's tone was heavy, and the listener felt empathy.
Before Guo Bin went north to Beijing, he had already let Xi Zhicai build a large number of buildings in the southwest of Yangzhai County, and built an ancestral hall, which was specially used for the tablet of Chen Fang's martyrs. Those who entered the ancestral hall together with Liu Tao's spiritual seat also had soldiers who died in previous wars. Because there will be such a big move, Xi Zhi has already ordered to go down, and after Guo Bin went north, he will publicize Liu Tao's deeds in teahouses, wine shops, and night schools, so the people present now know very well about Liu Tao's deeds.
Such an empty and vast environment, with a scale of tens of thousands of people, in the era when there were no loudspeakers, was a nightmare for the average speaker. Fortunately, Guo Bin's practice of internal kung fu has a foundation and is full of energy. At the moment, with the strength of the chest and abdomen, the breath is sprayed out through the mouth and nose.
I only heard his sad and reckless voice shrouded in the southwest sky of Yangzhai City: "Heaven and earth have righteousness, and they are mixed with manifolds. The lower part is the river mountain, and the upper part is the sun star. It is said that it is Haoran, and it is full of gloom. The royal road is clear, containing and Tuming Court. When the poor festival is seen, one by one. ”
The meaning of this passage is: "There is a righteous spirit between heaven and earth, which gives all things and changes into various forms." Below, it is represented by mountains, rivers, and mountains, and above it is represented by the sun, moon, and stars. In the human world, it is called the aura of Haoran, which fills the heavens, the earth and the universe. When the national fortune was peaceful during the Qingming Dynasty, it presented a peaceful atmosphere and an enlightened court. When the times are difficult, the righteous will appear, and their glorious images will be hung down one by one. This is part of Wen Tianxiang's "Song of Righteousness" composed after being defeated and captured and imprisoned in prison.
"Guo is not talented, he wants to use Mr. Tao's righteous love for the people, take the world's famous teaching right and wrong as his own responsibility, do not shirk difficulties, do not escape punishment for crimes, drive away foreign insults, and resonate with China. He wanted to recruit people who were united in their aspirations, but who were able to endure hard work and work for the country at the cost of their own lives; Cultivating far-reaching, up and down and looking for like-minded people, all of them are what I seek. Therefore, he said: I am willing to sing to seek friends, and dare to call for uncles. ”
The so-called "taking the world's famous teaching right and wrong as one's own responsibility" is the world's evaluation of Li Ying, the leader of the party in the disaster of the party; The so-called "do not give up the difficulty, and do not escape the punishment for the crime" is also what he said when someone persuaded him to flee after he decisively executed Zhang Shuo, the younger brother of Zhang Rang, a regular attendant in the middle school. On this occasion, Guo Bin, as the Marquis of Yangzhai County, the Shou of Yingchuan County, and the General of Poxian Beizhonglang, said such a remark, which has to make people think deeply.
In the past, although Guo Bin had also helped the party, once wrote to the Son of Heaven to ask for the ban on the party, and also privately rescued Wang Yun, who provoked the eunuchs, he had never announced it so openly today. This is the case when engaging in politics, the darker the attitude and the more cloudy and foggy the speech, the more level it will seem, and this is also the way for politicians to protect themselves. However, Guo Bin now openly said the words of Li Ying, the leader of the party, and declared that he was "willing to make a noise to seek friends", which can be regarded as a real cannon against the eunuchs.
The so-called "willing to sing to seek friends" comes from "The Book of Songs, Xiaoya, Logging", the original text is: "Hum its voice, ask for its friend's voice." "But for anyone who learns words, the Book of Songs is naturally a compulsory subject for entry, so most of the people in this allusion field know. And it was this sentence that ignited the atmosphere in the field.
Guo Bin said this to everyone in the field, which means that the people in the field are the objects of Guo Bin's "friends". Not to mention these students who worship and respect Guo Bin, they are the representatives of all families in Yingchuan County, and they are all excited, and they can be friends with heroes and heroes like Guo Bin, who are both civil and military, "breaking the country in the north and raising the prestige of the country in the south of the sky", naturally I can't ask for it!
Liu Tao's eldest son, who was holding Liu Tao's coffin in the back, listened to Guo Bin's evaluation of his father, and he burst into tears with excitement and cried bitterly.
