Chapter 18 Showing Talent and Learning
"What do you have to say to those people!" Zhang Hao said lightly, seemingly unconcerned.
"It's not some stupid people who read and read, or some hypocrites with honey-bellied swords, or some corrupt and dirty villains who are fair and righteous on the face. Even some truly upright people don't have to worry about it. ”
Zhang Hao said very much, but in fact, Zhang Hao had nothing to do at all. The scholars have the right to speak, which even a powerful eunuch has nothing to do. It is precisely because of this right to speak that the saying that being a eunuch is not a good thing is like the truth.
Kill people for this kind of thing? With Zhang Hao's current power, can he kill him? Since there is no way, you can only ignore it and pretend to be generous.
"Haha, Zigao's analysis makes a lot of sense. It's a bit of an omission, but it's a real thing for the general rule. Xi Zhicai smiled stunned.
"The reputation of eunuchs is already stinking. Especially a few days ago, Zhang Jun in Langzhong was arrested and killed in prison because he wrote a letter denouncing the harm of eunuchs and disorderly government, which was even more exciting. There is no way to take the eunuch, and people like Zigao are unlucky. ”
"Pond fish." Zhang Hao smiled, he hadn't heard of Zhang Jun's matter.
"These idiots are not unjustly dying. I don't know at all how to choose a way to fight. And in the final analysis, the struggle between the eunuchs and the scholars is a struggle for power and profit, and to say how noble the pursuit of the scholars is, it is pure nonsense. The mansions of Zhang Rang and others exceeded the system, and the Yuan family and other families were not far behind. Many officials who defected to the eunuchs did evil and extorted extortions, but the officials of other noble clans were also not clean.
It's just a group of people who have the right to speak and wash themselves cleanly. Outsiders believe it, and it is estimated that they themselves believe in themselves.
There is no black and white truth in this world, but it is just a method of struggle, and some fools believe in it. ”
Zhang Hao sneered and said that he had no good impression of the kind of guy who relied on his right to speak in black and white, and he said it above board, and many of his private behaviors were not clean. It's like those clear streams in later generations.
Xi Zhicai blinked blankly, he didn't expect Zhang Hao's thoughts to be like this, he felt a little awkward, he had never heard this kind of rhetoric before, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't refute it.
"Fart. Ignore the unclean strand and only see others dirty. Such hypocrites are more disgusting than villains. Those wealthy families don't want to think about where their assets come from! Zhang Hao added unsatisfactorily.
In addition to being angry, the reason why Zhang Hao said this was naturally to impress Xi Zhicai. Even if you have no official position or position, you know that there is not much opportunity. But since the opportunity exists, Zhang Hao always tries to get closer to Xi Zhicai to see if there is a way to recruit him.
"Haha, Zigao, happy. What a pleasure to say! No one else has said these words, and even if they understand, they dare not say them. Like you said, they have the right to speak. What's more, whether you want to be an official or want to be famous. Now the court is divided into two factions, and people always have to choose one faction. You don't even have to choose, you have already taken the initiative to divide the camp. ”
Xi Zhicai poured down a glass of wine and said angrily.
"Is the situation in the court related to the balance that Zigao said? The division of power in the West is for balance, and the imperial mind of the Han Dynasty is also balanced. ”
"The situation in Dahan now has nothing to do with balance! If the emperor doesn't push out eunuchs, how can he hold power? It was originally an accident in place, and the power has always been in the hands of the scholars, who else can he use without eunuchs? Relatives? It is estimated that the emperor is not at ease with his relatives, I heard that the emperor is not very satisfied with the eldest prince! Zhang Hao directly expressed his opinion.
"That's right, in the end, it's all about rights." The drama is a little boring.
"Zigao, if you say this, it is estimated that everyone will shout and beat you. It is estimated that most people will do everything possible to refute you and reprimand you for the sake of power and prestige. Today's mainstream concept is that all mistakes are brought by eunuchs. ”
Xi Zhicai said with a smile.
"So what's the matter. I didn't want to be an official, so why should I care about my reputation. Zhang Hao didn't care what he thought in his heart, he said it easily.
"What all the mistakes were brought about by the eunuchs?! Even if the power of the ten permanent servants is monstrous, there are still the most scholars in the court. The natural disasters of the Han Dynasty are continuous, and he is already terminally ill, which is not brought by the eunuchs. But there are problems on the whole, and the main culprits are the wealthy families of the noble family and the powerful landlords. It's just eunuchs, how much can they be greedy no matter how greedy they are, and they can drag down such a big country? ”
Xi Zhicai's eyes were no longer drunk, and he looked at Zhang Hao with shining eyes,
"Your point of view is very special. They should have heard it. So what do you think? When you heard you talk about overseas scenery before, what do you think of that house, can it really have a supervisory effect? ”
"It's not necessarily the Western system, after all, there are differences in concept and geography. The key is that rights should be constrained and the price of evil should be increased. At this time, the supervision of the West was actually the responsibility of the aristocracy, and in the final analysis, it was still the case.
The most important thing is to make the people have the awareness of protecting their rights, but this aspect involves the issue of opening up the people's wisdom. Nowadays, knowledge is mostly monopolized in the hands of the noble class. Most of the people are ignorant and can only be manipulated by the scholars. Zhang Hao thought about it and said slowly.
Xi Zhicai thought carefully.
The two chatted for most of the day, and did not leave until it was dark. At first, he only cared about drinking, but in the back, listening to Zhang Hao's various remarks, Xi Zhicai couldn't care about drinking, and discussed with Zhang Hao from time to time. Later, he even asked for pen and paper to record some of Zhang Hao's views.
Looking at the figure of Xi Zhicai who disappeared into the night, Zhang Hao's eyes were gloomy, I don't know if it is useful for him to show his advanced views so hard?
Zhang Hao obviously doesn't need Xi Zhicai's simple admiration or anything like that, what he needs is for others to work for him. But this kind of thing can't be controlled, let alone just showing advanced views, even directly showing the space-time gate, there is no certainty.
After all, Xi Zhicai's situation is completely different from Huang Zhong.
At this time, Zhang Hao was thinking about whether to quickly negotiate cooperation with a few big businessmen and leave to build a base area, or stay for a while to see if he could recruit some celebrities through Xizhicai!
In the middle of the night, Xi Zhicai hurriedly walked into a courtyard, and greeted loudly after entering the door.
A middle-aged man with a square face and neatly dressed walked out of the room, looked at Xi Zhicai with the smell of alcohol, and couldn't help frowning,
"Zhicai, you really don't know what to say! is obviously outstanding in learning, but because of his demeanor, he is not liked. How is it good to go on like this, you really want to waste your own talent and can't learn. And with good appearance, you can be more comfortable, right? ”
"Okay, Yuan Hao, you can spare me. I'm more comfortable like this, why can't I do it. As for manners, I don't care about people who judge people by their manners. Yuan Hao, you are well-groomed, haven't you also resigned now? It's not just a waste of learning. "The drama is full of words.
Outsiders don't know that Tian Toyota Yuanhao, who has a straightforward and solemn personality, is so good with the casual and uninhibited drama Zhicai, in fact, when the two first met, they didn't like each other.
This time, Xi Zhicai came to Luoyang to visit friends, and lived directly in Tian Feng's house.
"It's different, you, hey, forget it. Too lazy to talk to you more. Tian Feng said helplessly, smelling the strong smell of wine on Xi Zhicai, Tian Feng asked,
"You're not really going to find that traitor, are you? Whether this kind of person returns from overseas or not, he would rather be in cahoots with eunuchs, which is not a good thing, Zhicai, you have to think about your reputation. ”
"Hey, Yuan Hao, you guessed wrong this time. Although I don't think as much as you do, I was going to get some wine this time. But the truth was a surprise to me. Yuan Hao, you would never have imagined what kind of character it was. I've seen a lot this time. "The drama is full of interest,
"Come, let's go inside. Show you the good stuff. These are some of the words of the man I painstakingly copied, see for yourself. Today I was blown away. ”
Tian Feng was interested, he knew very well about Xi Zhicai's talent, and because of this, he was even more surprised, regardless of his dislike for that person, that is, Zhang Hao, he entered the house, lit an oil lamp, and hurriedly read the content of Xi Zhicai's excerpt.
frowned from time to time, sneered from time to time, and pondered from time to time, and when Tian Feng spent most of the hour reading it, he was stunned and wanted to ask about Xi Zhicai's situation, but found that Xi Zhicai had fallen asleep. Tian Feng frowned, with his cultivation, he should get up and leave at this time.
But Tian Feng is unwilling, many of the contents on the paper are unheard of, and some of them make sense and some make him puzzled after careful consideration. Tian Feng was eager to know anything else. immediately didn't care about anything else, confessed in his heart, and woke up Xi Zhicai directly, and asked directly in the complaint of Xi Zhicai.
