"This Emperor of Great Liang has such an ugly thing, becoming a king and defeating a king, but it only hurts my father-in-law. No, how do you know so clearly when the two brothers are talking? Zhou Jingyang asked.

"Why do you think I promised your stepfather to help you before you travel?"

Zhou Jingyang suddenly realized that his father-in-law expected him to check his identity, so he told himself through Gui Chengxuan's mouth, and also told Gui Chengxuan his secret. I also thought that when I first came to the school, although my father-in-law knew his identity but never revealed it to others, there was such a painful past behind him.

"Didn't you say that your library of 10,000 volumes knows everything about the world? Why do you want my stepfather to tell you who he is? Zhou Jingyang asked Gui Chengxuan.

Gui Chengxuan was a little angry and said: "I knew the identity of your father-in-law early on, but I didn't know the details of the transaction between him and Zhu Yuchen back then, and for this detail, I agreed to waste so much tongue with you, a little cub." ”

Zhou Jingyang smirked and said So it is, so it is. But I really muttered in my heart, this detail doesn't seem to be of much use, and he didn't ask again when he saw Gui Chengxuan like this.

Gui Chengxuan said: "Let's talk about the general trend of the world, maybe you are more interested?" ”

Zhou Jingyang sat down, he was indeed more interested in the trend of the world and the people of the court, but he never told others, I don't know how this Gui Pavilion Lord knew.

The two talked for a long time, this is like today, among the various states and countries, there are the four strongest countries, Daliang, Northern Chu, Nanping, and Dongyue, among which Liang has the most national strength, and Emperor Liang has ambitions and has the heart to dominate the world. The people of Northern Chu are good at diplomacy, represented by the national teacher Xu Tianyou, who is ranked fifth on the list of strategists, united and vertical, and the national strength of Chu is the weakest among the four countries, but no one dares to infringe. The land of Nanping is fertile, the people of Nanping are good at farming, weaving and saving, the people are rich, and the national strength is slightly weaker than that of Liang. Dongyue is off the coast, commerce and trade are prosperous, and the navy has no opponent, and it is delusional to want to invade Dongyue and break its navy. And it is not easy for Dongyue to enter the Central Plains.

Since ancient times, there has never been a lack of party earnings in the court, and the momentum of the court of these four countries is chaotic, and there is no superior mind, and I am afraid that I will not live for three years in the court.

Zhou Jingyang asked what kind of heart you need to have if you want to mingle in the court.

Left and right are the way to survive, if you want to go further, treating people sincerely is fundamental, Gui Chengxuan said after drinking tea.

Zhou Jingyang continued: "I have conjectures, but I just conjecture, I am clothed, if I want to compete in the troubled times and compete in the four countries, does the pavilion master think it is possible?" ”。

"Han Gaozu was just a pavilion chief back then, and Liu Xuande sold shoes for a living back then, there is nothing impossible in this world." "Then where should we start in the face of this world, and why should we prosper?"

Gui Chengxuan frowned, those who can have such ideas in the younger generations will become great in the future, so he discussed with him how to worship the marquis in the troubled times.

In this world, talented people aspire to fame, and Daliang has the strongest national strength, so he has the most talents. This Great Liang country is located in the north, and many southerners can't stand the cold and stay in the south, led by Jiangning.

If you want to worship the marquis and need to be assisted by good ministers, Jiangning has many talents, and there are many unpaid people, after entering Jiangning, you can make friends with different people, so as to be used later. It's just to make friends, it should be that these people have princely ambitions, and they won't make trouble for money.

After making friends with strangers, you can enter the court of Daliang, and with the recommendation of nobles, you can enter the court, and you can rise to the level with your personal talents. When the time is ripe, you can summon the strangers, promise the marquis, and you will respond to every call.

"This is the fastest way I can think of for you to compete with today, otherwise if I don't wait for you, I'm afraid you will be dead, but the big thing is not more than half", Gui Chengxuan said calmly.

Jiangning! Isn't it the place where my father-in-law asked me to travel, is there anything special about Jiangning, although he thought so, but Zhou Jingyang didn't ask much, for fear that Gui Chengxuan would think too much. "Just ask casually, don't think too much about it."

Gui Chengxuan smiled but said nothing.

Zhou Jingyang didn't know what to say at this time, and wanted to divert the topic. And Gui Chengxuan did go on to say: "To do great things, you need to have the right time, the right place, and the right people. This day is not yet ripe, but it is still in gestation, and sooner or later there will be wars between the nations, and the time of great chaos in the world is the time of trouble. Geographical advantages for you Jiangning can be the foundation, the land of Jiangning has the Ling (ling) River to resist danger, the rejection of the Liang country is far away, the north can defend the Liang war horse, the northwest Chu country is unstable, let alone reckless. There is Nanping in the south of Jiangning, the people of Nanping are rich and do not want to go to war again, and there is a small country on the west side of Nanping, named Wusu, the land is scarce, nomadic and rest, often robbing Nanping materials. Nanping once sent Peng Xiujing, the twelfth ranked master today, to lead the troops to fight. Although Wusu is small, all the people are soldiers, the horses are excellent, and they can't fight but they flee quickly, and Nanping has no choice. Therefore, the south side of Jiangning can be connected to Wusu, and money is promised to reject Nanping. There is Heng Mountain on the east side of Jiangning, Dongyue is good at water warfare, Heng Mountain is a natural danger, if Heng Mountain is a big unwise, this Jiangning is the first choice for doing great things. ”

"The land of Jiangning is the border of Daliang, and there is Yu Changyi, the eleventh general in the world, sitting in the town, how can we get Jiangning?" , Zhou Jingyang asked with a solemn face.

Seeing this, Gui Chengxuan knew that Zhou Jingyang was thinking seriously, and he was not surprised but said with a smile: "It is naturally inappropriate to take it by force, and there are not many people in the world who can fight against Yu Changyi." It wouldn't be beautiful if Emperor Daliang could make a decree to replace it."

Zhou Jingyang's face softened, nodded and said, "Then what is this last human union?" ”

Renhe is the rarest, Gui Chengxuan got up from the side of the case, and analyzed Zhou Jingyang slowly. If you do something unusual, you need to have money and human resources. The amount of money is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and the easiest and most rare talent depends on whether you can receive people's hearts for your use, as for the method is sincere.

Zhou Jingyang listened to the clouds and fog, but he couldn't understand the deep meaning.

Gui Chengxuan saw that Zhou Jingyang seemed to be thoughtful, so he said: "If you want to win people's hearts, you need to treat them sincerely." In the future, you will confess the mystery of this, remember to do it from your heart, and don't do anything against your heart."

Zhou Jingyang nodded, didn't say anything for a moment, picked up the teacup and took a few sips, and then asked, "How did you get this money?" ”

Gui Chengxuan said: "Cao Mengde relied on the sale of ancestral property back then, and your father did not leave you any inheritance..."

"Wait! What did you just mean by my father and the inheritance? ”

"I already know your identity as a neighbor for so long, and I know more than your stepfather, hahaha", Gui Chengxuan sneered.

Zhou Jingyang clenched the tea set, put it down tremblingly, and looked at Gui Chengxuan.

"Don't worry, I won't reveal it to anyone, I just said money, this you want to fly when the pigeon is passed on to Yaoshan, and there is countless money."

Zhou Jingyang was still embarrassed, and the two were silent for a long time.

Let's go back to this list of princes, is this temple really stronger than this big rivers and lakes?

People in the world learn martial arts and literature, just for three meals to eat, especially in troubled times, not for the hungry and cold is for the sake of Qing history. There are a few people who are not famous, idle in the rivers and lakes, for the sake of the way in their hearts. There are many people who seek fame and fortune, so most of the people on this list are in the court, and the promulgation of this list is also to attract talents.
