Chapter 33: Mutation (II)

"If there is a negative lord, Weichen is willing to raise his head to see him!" Zhang Song slowly took half a step back and saluted.

He is sleek and calculating, whether he was on Meng Yuan's side or later in the Huaiyang Governor's Mansion, his reputation is not very good. However, this does not mean that he himself was born to be a traitor. In fact, in the years since he defected to Huaiyang, he has been cleaner than anyone else, and he has been trying to be a good minister. Because only in this way can he, an outsider with no foundation, have a place in the Grand Governor's Mansion. Only because of this will he have a good reputation in the next newly revised history book, rather than a rebel son who is not pleasing to both sides.

But today, Zhu Chongjiu took the initiative to send him a foundation. Let him be like Xu Da, Liu Ziyun and others from now on, and call himself a direct confidant of the chief manager. At the same time, it also completely shattered his desire to continue to be sleek, so that he had to make a choice about his future positioning.

With Zhang Song's level of intelligence, this multiple-choice question is not difficult at all. Sooner or later, the Great Governor's Mansion will dominate the world, and Zhang Song is convinced of this. And as long as Zhu Chongjiu is alive, whether it is Xu Da, Hu Dahai, or even Su Mingzhe, who is firmly in the second place, there is no possibility to replace him. In this regard, Zhang Song also believes in his own judgment. Then, as long as he can continue to hug Zhu Chongjiu's thighs, he is not afraid of offending anyone. And no matter who he tried to curry favor with, even if he made friends with everyone around him, as long as he lost Zhu Chongjiu's trust, all his efforts would still be in vain.

People's spirit and temperament are often greatly affected by psychology. When the choice was made, Zhang Song's whole face suddenly changed. The smooth and mellow feeling of the past is gone, replaced by an undisguised sophistication.

"Very well, I remember your words today!" Sensing the change in Zhang Song's mentality, Zhu Chongjiu nodded with satisfaction. "Go down and do your work! After the Northern Expedition, the area controlled by the Grand Governor's Office will become more and more extensive, and the affairs of the Internal Affairs Department will become more and more. You, and your brothers, need to be prepared in time. ”

"Wechen obeys!" Zhang Song saluted seriously again and turned to leave.

"It's the same with the Supervisory Yuan. Although there is no need for the Supervision Yuan to send people to accompany the army on the Northern Expedition, what it should do, especially the competition for public opinion, cannot be relaxed. Without waiting for Zhang Song to go out, Zhu Chongjiu quickly turned his gaze to Lu Kun and solemnly advised. At the same time, within Huaiyang, we must also strive to let everyone understand, and now it is far from the time for Ma to release Nanshan. Although Tuhuan Timur really became a loner, this Northern Expedition may not be as easy as everyone thought. Everyone must be in good spirits, just take it as if it was a rush to take the test. ”

After a moment's deliberation, he quoted a mature word directly from memory. "However, the chief examiner is not the emperor, but all the northern people from Xuzhou to Dadu. After passing the test, it may be easier for us to dominate the country in the future. If you can't pass the test, I'm afraid you'll have to go home and continue to work honestly. No one expects pie to fall from the sky! ”

"Yes!" When it comes to state affairs, Lu Kun doesn't dare to put on a father-in-law's shelf. He also saluted respectfully and responded loudly.

"I'm afraid the heaviest task is still you." Smiling at him, Zhu Chongjiu turned his gaze to Robben again. "Governing the world has never been easier than fighting the world, and you have been the prefect of Yangzhou in recent years, and you should have a deep understanding of this. The reason why our Huai'an army has been able to defeat strong enemies repeatedly is closely related to the effective administration of the governments at all levels in Huaiyang. Otherwise, the brothers would not have to fight at all, and they would have to die of exhaustion just to put down the rebellion! ”

"Wechen understands!" Robben took half a step back and gave his hand seriously.

"Although there is a lack of talents on the Northern Expedition, when selecting officials, you still can't be too casual!" Lest he take it lightly, Zhu Chongjiu thought about it and continued to advise, "Let's not talk about it from afar, the reason why Wang Jinggong's change of law in the past changed the law and brought thousands of displaced people to thousands of miles is that I am afraid that the use of people is too casual and will account for a large factor. And once the people under him are corrupt officials and corrupt officials, no matter how good the decree is, it will have to change if it is implemented. On the other hand, when it causes anger and resentment, if Wang Jinggong himself has no responsibility, it is indeed coaxing ghosts! ”

"Weichen understands, the lesson of the past, the teacher of the future!" Robben straightened up again and replied solemnly.

This era is not a later generation, and Liang Qichao and Lenin have successively written biography for Wang Anshi. At this time, the Southern Song Dynasty had just been dead for more than 70 years, and the Southern Song Dynasty had set its own capital of Yuhang, and until the sunset on Yashan, they never forgot to reflect on the cause of Jingkang's shame. From well-educated people to ordinary scholars, it is widely believed that Wang Anshi is the first culprit who led to the southern crossing of the Great Song Dynasty.

This view may not be fair to Wang Anshi, but it is enough to make later generations take many of Wang Anshi's practices as a warning. Especially in the selection of officials, Robben will have no less power than Wang Anshi back then. If he makes the same mistake, the impact on the future of the Great Governor's Mansion may be no less than that of Wang Anshi to Zhao Song back then. (Note 1) "If only you understood! We are on a path that no one has walked before, so we must be careful everywhere. If you succeed, you will create an era, and if you fail, I am afraid that you and I will become sinners through the ages! Seeing that Luo Ben could understand what he meant, Zhu Chongjiu smiled and concluded.

Immediately, he quickly turned his attention to Gao Qi, "The social rules, purpose, and organizational structure of the Huaxia Fuxing Society, I will discuss with you slowly during the Northern Expedition and improve it step by step." No matter what the final result is, the first one, Zhu suggests that you write it down now, the Huaxia Fuxing Society will always be the Huaxia Fuxing Society. If you forget the word Huaxia, it is nothing! ”

"Yes!" Gao Qi didn't seem to understand when he heard it, frowning and arching his hand.

"Go ahead and get busy. I need to take care of something else! Zhu Chongjiu couldn't explain the things in his memory to everyone, so he didn't want to be verbose. With a wave of his hand, he ordered the three to leave on their own.

Of course, Lu Kun and the others didn't dare to waste more time in charge, so they all bowed and retired. Looking at their backs far away from the door, Zhu Chongjiu sighed softly, turned back to the bookcase, and sat down heavily in the chair.

He tried to pour himself a cup of hot tea to refresh himself, but his hand was on the teapot and he suddenly lost his strength. Trembling, trembling, trembling, for a long time, the spout tilted down, but the tea bowl touched the ground again, "bang", and shattered.

"Be careful, lord!" Geng Tianbi, the commander of the guards company who was on duty, heard this, quickly pushed the door and rushed in, bowing down to hold one of Zhu Chongjiu's arms.

"It's not a big deal, I'm a little tired on the road, and I haven't slowed down!" Zhu Chongjiu smiled and ordered in a low voice, "Hurry up and come in and clean up the broken tea bowls on the ground." Then go get me a pot of hot wine. Don't talk to anyone about it, there's no need to worry about it! ”

"Yes!" Geng Tianbi is very cautious. Whispering in promise, he crouched down, quickly picked up the pieces on the ground, and then walked out quickly, gently closing the door from the outside.

"This kid has the style of a father!" Zhu Chongjiu smiled, looked at his back and nodded lightly.

Geng Tianbi is the son of Geng Zaicheng, according to a tacit convention in this era, after this person graduated from Wutang, he went directly to serve in the Guards Brigade. On the one hand, it is equivalent to Geng Zaicheng showing his loyalty to Zhu Chongjiu. On the other hand, it is to pave the way for Geng Tianbi's own future.

This move is not Zhu Chongjiu's originality, and at this moment, there are similar situations around the princes of all parties. And if someone seriously investigates its origins, they will be surprised to find that this is actually the cowardly system founded by Genghis Khan, the founding emperor of Mongolia. It's just a different name and a slight improvement in the technique.

Everyone's vision and behavior will be affected by the era in which they live, and no one is exempt. Even though the Huaiyang people led by Zhu Chongjiu regard "expelling the Tartars" as their life goal, many of their behaviors are actually unconsciously branded with grassland civilization. As for Zhu Chongjiu himself, the situation is even more complicated. Not only is there a part of thinking inherited from the time in which we live, but there is also a part of thinking that has been inherited from hundreds of years in another time and space. These two kinds of thinking are constantly colliding, intertwining, and merging, resulting in a very different entry point from the people around him no matter what he sees.

Let's take the quiet birth of the Huaxia Fuxing Society as an example, if he didn't have the memory of Zhu Dapeng in another time and space, maybe Zhu Chongjiu would be very happy. The Northern Expedition, which was about to take place as soon as the weather warmed up, needed not only a large army, but also a team of officials who could solve the worries of the army, as well as the ability to mobilize people in all walks of life. The emergence of the Huaxia Fuxing Society happened to make up for the two shortcomings he faced. It makes the selection of officials easier and more effective, and also allows the social mobilization capacity of the Grand Governor's Office to penetrate directly into the people.

But all of the above are benefits that can be seen by all the core figures of the Grand Governor's Office, although they may not be able to use the words of the afterlife in another plane, and they may not be as clear as those in another plane. However, what Zhu Chongjiu saw was not only the benefits, but the huge dangers that existed here.

Hereditary succession, if the head of a political group is hereditary, it is foreseeable what kind of country he is about to establish. No matter how beautiful the slogan is, even if it claims to guide all mankind, it cannot hide the reality that it has not yet shaken off feudal obscurantism.

As for the other provisions, Zhu Chongjiu has not read them carefully. But I don't dare to ask for extravagance in my heart, how high the party program that Lu Kun, Luo Ben, Gao Qi and others can reach on their own. Because as far as he knows, the political parties in which the leaders of mankind need to be replaced by hereditary succession only exist in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula. What kind of backwardness the northern part of the peninsula has become was obvious to all in Zhu Dapeng's time.

In other words, Zhu Chongjiu was frightened by what he saw, something deeper. For a while, apart from directly grasping the organizational and leadership power of the Huaxia Fuxing Society, he couldn't think of a better way to deal with it. And this temporary response could not make him completely reassured. After all, the Huaxia Fuxing Society, from preparation to birth, to now starting to toddle, is all carried out without his knowledge. For a long time, he was not affected at all, nor was he in the slightest control.

That's why he's only talking so much today, and he's exhausted himself. He didn't want to admit it, but he used practical actions to prove the hesitation and uneasiness in his heart. The Huaiyang Governor's Mansion that he established with his own hands has personally created a new industry and a new model of commerce, but today he has a vague premonition that the Huaiyang Governor's Mansion, as well as everything that is developing rapidly in Huaiyang, will sooner or later be out of his control. As for where the Grand Governor's Mansion and the emerging forces will go after they break away from his control, he can't predict it!

Maybe it's the angel that grows white feathers, or maybe it's the angel that grows the devil's wings and horns, and whatever the result, the only thing that doesn't change is that it will fly high and will no longer be influenced by any one person.

"You can't manage two lifetimes in one lifetime! Later generations naturally have the wisdom of future generations! After sitting on the table for a long time, Zhu Chongjiu still couldn't sort out the future development of the Huaxia Fuxing Society. In the end, I had to sigh and shake my head and stand up.

Even if it can be controlled, it will only be a matter of decades. And in a few decades, he will die, and where the next generation will go, whether they are virtuous or stupid, has nothing to do with him after all. If you think about it, the flood after your death is monstrous, and there is not much difference between the glow after death. In my life, all I can do is to do my best to see what I can see!

was depressed, but there were a few crisp baby cries in my ears, "Wow, wow, wow, wow". Immediately, the back door was gently pushed open, and Lu Shuang'er slowly walked over with a white and chubby boy in her arms. "Husband, the child misses his grandfather. Look at him, how much do his eyebrows and eyes look like you?! ”

Note 1: Since the beginning of Zhao Gou, the Southern Song Dynasty has gradually examined the gains and losses of Wang Anshi's reforms. Invited Wang Anshi out of the Confucian Temple step by step, and began to face up to the harm of changing the law step by step. In the time of Rishu, it began to go to the other extreme. The real rehabilitation of Wang Anshi will not be until the end of the Qing Dynasty. Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao and others began to re-elevate Wang Anshi in order to open their eyes to the change.
