Hua Xue saw that Chongzhen didn't care about herself, but glanced at Chongzhen a few more times, and then said: "This one is obviously not. With Daming's tolerance for scholars, His Majesty hadn't killed someone at that time, so he didn't have to be afraid that His Majesty would kill him. ”

The person he was talking about was obviously Yuan Chonghuan, and at this time the others already knew that he dared to say anything, and they no longer tried to stop him.

Hua Xue was not polite, and continued: "The second way to pretend to be stupid is to encounter something that you can't do. For example, Zhuge Liang before going up to the house to draw a ladder. As Liu Bei's adviser, he really can't participate in Liu Biao's family affairs, so he can only pretend to be confused. The question you asked Zhou Ge Lao is not so sensitive, so it shouldn't be. ”

Chongzhen nodded, if the explanation of the situation will also involve sensitive words such as the protection of officials and officials, "the prime minister must use a scholar" This is a very famous allusion to Zhao Kuangyin of Song Taizu, there is nothing that can not be said.

"The third type of pretending to be stupid is not wanting to do something. is like Ruan Ji, he just doesn't want to be an official, so he pretends to be stupid. Zhou Ge Lao is obviously like this, he has been an official for thirty years, and he is tired of the intrigue and intrigue in the court. Seeing that you defeated Wei Zhongxian, you were also wise and martial at that time, and you didn't need him to escort you, so you just pretended to be stupid in order to go into hiding. Those stupid rumors about him were also fueled by him himself, otherwise how could such a private conversation be known to everyone? ”

Wu Weiye and several people looked at each other, they had also heard the jokes made by Zhou Daodeng in the court, and they laughed at that time, and they were also worried about the court, such a stupid person became the first assistant of the dynasty, and the future of the Ming Dynasty was worrying. But after Hua Xue said this, could it be that Zhou Ge Lao was really wise and foolish, pretending to be stupid and retiring?

Wang Chengen didn't care about this matter, he was only loyal to Chongzhen, regardless of the affairs of the courtiers, let alone a courtier who had retired and died.

Chen Zilong thought about Liu Ruyi, when the two met, Liu Ru was eighteen years old, although his talent was slightly inferior to what he wanted to compare, but how could he be a famous prostitute who was displaced in childhood and grew up in a prostitute family? Except for Liu Ru's own efforts to learn, it is hard to believe that there is no real famous teacher to teach. So, who will be the famous teacher who can teach Liu Ru to learn like this? Of course, it won't be her famous prostitute adoptive mother, it can only be her ex-husband Zhou Gelao.

Zhou Ge is more than a sixtieth year, and the so-called concubine is better to accept an apprentice who is smart and clever but cannot formally apprentice. And Liu Ru is impassioned temperament, and ordinary men can't compete with him, of course, it's not a prostitution style, it is obviously the cultivation of Zhou Gelao. Although Zhou Ge Lao was conservative all his life and only promised, even when Wei Zhongxian was the most rampant, he did not join the same stream, and he must have a good character in his bones. How could such a character really be so stupid and stupid. This little brother said that Zhou Ge pretended to be stupid and retired, which is indeed the most likely explanation.

Whether others believe it or not, Chen Zilong definitely believes it.

Wu Weiye and Chen Hongmi are both Chongzhen's four-year jinshi, and when they were named on the gold list, Zhou Daodeng had already gone into hiding, and only legends were left in the court. But Chen Hongmi's father, Chen Wenhui, was an official in the same dynasty as Zhou Daodeng. In the early years of the Apocalypse, when Wei Zhongxian was in power, both of them chose to resign and go into hiding because they couldn't get used to it. Of course, there were too many resignations at that time, and it is difficult to say whether the two had a relationship, but at least they can be regarded as like-minded people. Chen Hongmi muttered in his heart, and turned around to ask his father if Zhou Ge Lao was as wise and foolish as Hua Xue said. He believed that with his father's eyes of teaching and educating people for many years, he would never make a mistake.

As for Wu Weiye, he is also from Suzhou, and before entering Beijing to catch the exam, he also visited Zhou Daodeng, who was in seclusion at home, with his teacher Zhang Pu, but it was only a courtesy visit. Zhou Daoden's stupid reputation made these students in their prime look down on them, and they only went to visit them out of courtesy of respecting their predecessors, and they did not have deep friendships. Listening to Hua Xueyi, he was also a little dazed. However, he doesn't believe it very much, including himself, literati care a lot about reputation and cherish feathers, such a self-defacement method that damages the reputation of the literati, Wu Weiye believes that he will definitely not do it, and the gains outweigh the losses. There are many ways to retreat, and calling the disease the easiest is why bother?

As for Chongzhen, he is the most entangled in his heart now, he is willing to believe Hua Xue's words, because this shows that he has the wisdom of people, but he also does not want to believe it, because it will damage his knowledge of people. I was struggling, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, I didn't come here for Zhou Daodeng, but for the prediction of the disaster, this topic went astray!

Ignoring Hua Xue at the moment, he said to Chen Hongmi: "Qing should know that the prediction of the disaster is not a joke, and Qing is not like a person who will casually believe a child's words, even if this child is clever, after all, he will not be born to know, and knowledge still depends on time accumulation." Why did Qing believe this child's prediction and write to the court? ”

Chen Hongmi also reacted, and this topic was deviated by Hua Xue again. Hua Xue has repeatedly gags, and it seems that she really doesn't want to be a hero. At the beginning, Chongzhen said that the stakes were very important and that he wanted to get to the point, but Hua Xue immediately exposed Chongzhen and diverted the topic. The second time, Chongzhen said that things within a thousand miles were uneven, and Hua Xue had to fight with Chongzhen within ten steps. The third time Wu Weiye asked him to introduce the person who made the prediction, he didn't say how he predicted, only said that he was literary and strategic, and introduced the topic to Jiang Wei. The fourth time Chen Zilong asked for the way to learn from things, he directly pulled out Liu Ru and made Chen Zilong angry half to death. finally pulled out Zhou Daodeng, obviously comparing himself with Zhou Daodeng, saying that he didn't want to be a leader, and he didn't want to defile himself like him, so he could only gag and want to confuse the topic.

Of course, Hua Xue doesn't want to, and she can't go out. The primary reason is that Da Huaxue asked him in the manual not to affect the situation in the north before Wu Sangui's rebellion. Secondly, in the Ming Dynasty, the official who did not pass the imperial examination but was fortunate to enter had no status and human rights at all, and he was unwilling to take the Baguwen exam. Although there is no shortage of information, but unwillingness is unwillingness. Not to mention that the key to him is not to make a name for himself, but to make Chen Yuan a goddess wholeheartedly.

It's just that Chen Hongmian is here, and he will definitely be exposed for pretending to be stupid, so he can only pretend to be vulgar. At first, it was a rude act that did not understand etiquette, but Chongzhen didn't care. Then he has to fight with Chongzhen alone, and Chongzhen is not as knowledgeable as a child. He pretended to be a useless scholar who only knew how to despise his predecessors, and said that he looked down on Jiang Wei, and Chongzhen didn't care about it at all. In the end, he pretended to be lustful, but Chen Hongmi talked about Chen Yuan, and it was impossible for him to shake his belief in the goddess because of this matter, so it was naturally an explanation. The four full gags did not dispel Chongzhen and others' desire to get to the bottom of it. So he had no choice but to use the statement of "Zhou Daodeng pretending to be stupid and retiring" to show his heart: I don't want to be an official anyway, and you will naturally understand when you think of this rhetoric.
