Tan Sitong nodded and said, "Jianzhi's words are reasonable." In my Qing Dynasty, most of them were corpse vegetarians, and now the capable ministers like Wen Zhenggong and Wen Xianggong are gone, and Li Zhongtang is also dying of old age, and he is no longer as enterprising as he was back then. Above the court are a group of old decayers, only thinking about how to make more oil and water, who still thinks about reforming bad governance? ”

Zhang Yi said: "Actually, the younger brother stepped into the army, why not because the officialdom is too dark, and we are all ordinary students without a deep background. Brother Fusheng is better, Brother Zhuo and I, with a low status, want to step into the career and show our ambitions, I don't know what year and month it will take. Just in time for the tense war situation between China and Japan, I put pen to paper, wanting to rely on military exploits to fight a big way. ”

Liang Qichao smiled astringently and said: "Jianzhi, you are all-round in civil and military affairs, amazing talent, you can definitely stand out in the Qing Dynasty, where is like me, just a scholar, you have no power to tie the chicken, you can only take the road of scientific research, and you don't know when it will be the day to come out." ”

Zhang Yi sighed with emotion and said: "Brother Fusheng, Brother Zhuo Ru, in fact, you came to Beijing this time, and I also know that you came here for the big exam, hoping to win the gold list and serve the country." The younger brother said what should not be said, both of them are a generation of handsome people in the Qing Dynasty, with outstanding talents, what you have to do is not to be on the list and become an official, what you should do now is to travel to the west, inspect the scenery, go to understand the Western society and system on the spot, read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles, the potential of the two is lofty, don't be trapped by the cage of the Qing Dynasty, go out, go to Europe and the United States to understand the European wind and rain, and return from learning, What is the national situation, just from a few books, it is difficult to get a glimpse of the whole picture, how to assist the king in the Qing Dynasty? ”

A word woke up the dreamer, Tan Sitong and Liang Qichao, and suddenly found that what they had learned was really too narrow, and they had lost the false name of learning rich and five cars, as Zhang Yi said, just with his current talent, even if Lafayette and the emperor let themselves be in charge of the military aircraft, what if they have an in-depth understanding of the people's livelihood and social economy of the Western powers? How much do you know? When the time comes, there is nowhere to start, and it is really a mistake for the country.

Liang Qichao's face was heavy, he bowed to the end, and said: "Jianzhi, listening to your words, it is better than reading for ten years, it is me who is like an initiation, and the mouth is suddenly opened, and now I know that we are sitting in the well and watching the sky." For me, this gold list is just a passing cloud, and Qichao doesn't care about it, how to make the rejuvenation of China is what I want. When Qichao prepares, he will leave for Journey to the West to study, and when he returns from his studies, he will work side by side with Jianzhi to prosper the Qing Dynasty! ”

Tan Sitong said: "Zhuoru, I would like to travel west with you to study, but traveling west to other countries costs a lot of money, and we still need to prepare for a while." ”

Tan Sitong knew that Liang Qichao's family was poor, so he wanted to give Liang Qichao six steps, and wanted to travel west to study, where is the tuition? How do you get by? I have a lot of money and study together, maybe I can help.

Zhang Yi said: "Since the two benevolent brothers have this heart, Zhang Yi is willing to do everything to help the two go west." Yesterday in the court, the emperor's grace gave him 10,000 taels of silver, and the younger brother was useless, so he gave them all to the two brothers. However, just two people who traveled abroad to the west, I am afraid that the impact is not great, I heard that the two brothers have traveled widely, and they have a lot of confidants, so they can invite some confidant comrades to go together, for Western studies, they are involved in various disciplines, so that once they return, they can fight their lifelong ambitions. ”

Tan Sitong laughed and said: "Jianzhi, what you said is too right, the two of us are indeed a little weak, in this capital, we have a lot of confidants, so we are ready to invite everyone to discuss this matter, as for the assets, it is indeed a little nervous, and the foolish brother is not polite to the virtuous brother, accept it, the left and right are used for major matters, I myself also raised ten thousand taels of silver from home, and I also want to raise some of the friends in the capital, which has always been enough." ”

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "The younger brother has long heard that the resurrected brother has a wide range of friends and acquaintances all over the world, and it is true. ”

Tan Sitong said with a smile: "If you talk about friends, in the capital, I have the most tacit friendship, it is none other than the fifth brother Wang, chivalrous and courageous, and the ancient way is hot, and he is a first-class hero in the Qing Dynasty." ”

"Wang Wu?" Zhang Yi's eyes lit up, he was thunderous about the reputation of the fifth king of the big sword, this was the first hero in the late Qing Dynasty, and his martial arts were outstanding, if he was brought to the camp and taught martial arts, then the training in the Qing military camp would be over.

Zhang Yi asked: "Brother Fusheng, the younger brother has also admired the prestige of the fifth king of the Great Sword for a long time, I don't know if the resurrection brother can introduce it, but the younger brother wants to meet this strange knight for a while." ”

Tan Sitong laughed and said, "Brother Xian, this is not a trivial matter? Now I live in the fifth brother's Shuntianyuan dart bureau, for a while, the three of us brothers don't talk, I take the two of you to visit the fifth brother, the fifth brother, tsk, no, the righteousness and squandering money, the pride is overwhelming, he is a real strange man. ”

Liang Qichao waved his hand and said: "Brother Fusheng, this time it's just that, anyway, I will definitely disturb Brother Fusheng more during this time, let's go another day, in the afternoon, the teacher will call me to explain something in the post house, and I will personally go to the Shuntianyuan Dart Bureau to visit you and the fifth brother another day, don't drive the little brother out then." ”

Tan Sitong said: "Brother Xian, where did this come from, I will also go to visit Brother Nanhai another day, and I hope that Brother Xian will see Nanhai and greet Mr. on my behalf." ”

Zhang Yi also said: "Brother Zhuoru, please also greet Mr. Nanhai on behalf of the younger brother, if there is a chance, the younger brother will go to visit him in person." ”

Liang Qichao said: "Jianzhi, the family teacher has been famous for the virtuous brother for a long time, every time he talks about the virtuous brother in front of the foolish brother, he is full of praise, if the virtuous brother is free, he must come, I and the tutor are waiting for the bed, and the virtuous brother is eager to take it to heart." ”

Zhang Yi smiled: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, the little brother has written it down." ”

Tan Sitong smiled and said: "Okay, in this case, we have been chatting for a long time, let's disperse here, let's get together again in the future, Zhuo Ru, remember to take me to say hello to Brother Nanhai, these **** will definitely go to visit." ”

The three of them greeted each other, and Liang Qichao got up to say goodbye and left first.

Zhang Yi said in a straight way: "Brother Fusheng, junior brother has a few words to ask you. You are different from Zhuo Ru, Nanhai and others, you have traveled all over the world over the years, fighting with swords and being a hero, acting in an ancient style, and being warm-hearted in ancient ways, which is good, but you will also be carried away by the word righteousness. Now, the diehards are working hard to prevent the court from changing the law, and the queen mother, as the actual person in power, does not support the reform of the law. If you are angry for a while, you will only harm your own life, so you must not be confused. ”
