Zhang Xianzhong said that his fourth son was smart, but in fact, the third son was not bad, and he could even be called both civil and military.

The third son's name is Zhang Jianzhi, and he is eighteen years old this year.

At the age of twelve, he followed his elders to hunt, and at the age of fourteen, he returned home from the summer vacation, and also participated in the encirclement and suppression of the headhunters, rushing to quickly cut an enemy. He successfully graduated from middle school and studied at Fuzhou University at his own expense, but unfortunately he did not get a graduation certificate, and he was only qualified to apply for the government officials.

Zhang Jianzhi felt that the examiner was not interesting, and after the end of college, he went to Semarang to seek refuge with his father.

"You bastard," Zhang Xianzhong was furious, "Lao Tzu paid for you to go to college, and you can't even get a graduation certificate, you have a ball for reading many books!" ”

Zhang Jianzhi explained: "Father, today's college graduation examination is the examination of the previous dynasty. From the Ministry of Rites to the Inspectorate, and then to a provincial official, where is it easy to pass the test? In a class of college students, only half of them can graduate, and most of them can only get a diploma. ”

"In other words, you didn't get into the exam, only show your fame?" Zhang Xianzhong asked.

Zhang Jianzhi nodded: "You can also say the same." ”

Zhang Xianzhong's anger came and went quickly, and he smacked his lips and said: "Show talent is show talent, and you can be regarded as a cultural person of the old Zhang family." What skills did you learn in college? ”

Zhang Jianzhi replied: "I am a major in repair, and I am involved in physics, mathematics, astronomy, and geography. Liberal arts is a minor course, and I chose a relatively obscure Taoist knowledge, and "Laozi" and "Zhuangzi" have some poor understanding. ”

"Isn't Lao Tzu too Shanglaojun?" Zhang Xianzhong suddenly realized, "Dare to love you bastard to learn the Dao Fa, can the school teacher teach the Five Thunder Fa?" ”

Zhang Jianzhi helplessly explained: "Father, Taoism is Taoism, and Taoism is Taoism. Taoism talks about the Tao to reason, and Taoism talks about Zhai Jiao rituals and drawing talismans to exorcise ghosts. ”

Zhang Xianzhong understood again: "Taoists are officials, and they can only play tricks. Taoism is a official, and you have to really get started. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Jianzhi almost collapsed.

Zhang Xianzhong sat down with a golden knife: "Then you will play tricks and talk about the great truth of the family." ”

Zhang Jianzhi thought about it carefully and said, "I heard that my father is the governor here, and he has slaughtered countless natives. In Zhuangzi's eyes, his father was a thief. ”

Zhang Xianzhong's low blood pressure was cured, and he slammed the table and said, "You dare to scold Lao Tzu for being a thief?" Lao Tzu was forced by the officials to rebel against the people, and now he kills people to serve the country, how can he be confused with thieves? ”

Zhang Jianzhi said: "The child is wrong, the father is not a thief, and His Majesty is a thief today." As for the father, he is a thief at best. ”

Zhang Xianzhong heard that there was something in his son's words, and said angrily: "Don't beat around the bush, say something directly." ”

Zhang Jianzhi asked: "Father, have you ever heard that saints don't die, but thieves don't stop?" ”

", Sage Kong has died a long time ago, but there are many thieves in the world." Zhang Xianzhong said.

Zhang Jianzhi shook his head: "No, the sage does not specifically refer to Confucius, and the thief is not an ordinary robber." Heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang, and there is light and darkness. If one day the light is gone, then the world will be full of darkness. If it is all darkness, then there is no darkness, and there is no idea of light and darkness. Where there are saints, there are great thieves; There are no saints, no thieves. ”

"Speak human words!" Zhang Xianzhong was almost stunned.

Zhang Jianzhi began to show off his knowledge: "The big thief mentioned by Zhuangzi actually refers to Tian Chengzi. The so-called thief is punished, and the thief is the prince. The Tian family is a thief who steals the country. not only stole the country of Qi, but also stole the laws, officials and morals of the country of Qi. And his descendant, King Qi Wei, is obviously a descendant of the great thief, but he has become the Holy King of Mingjun. ”

The more Zhang Xianzhong listened, the more angry he became: "Which foolish teacher taught you this?" ”

Zhang Jianzhi said with a smile: "Father, listen patiently, Yanagi Megumi is very famous, right?" He has a younger brother who is more famous, called Liu Xia Plantar, commonly known as the thief plant. The thief is the ancestor of the robber, and the disciples asked him, is there any way to be a thief? Father guessed how the thief would answer. ”

"How do you answer?" Zhang Xianzhong was a little curious.

Zhang Jianzhi said eloquently: "The thief said that he could speculate on what goods were in the house, and he could be called holy; The most advanced house can be called brave; The last one to leave the house is justified; Those who can judge whether it is time to do it can be called wise; Those who share the spoils fairly can be called benevolent. Holiness, bravery, righteousness, wisdom, and benevolence, this is the great principle of being a thief, and it is said that there is a way to be a thief. If you don't have these five qualities, you can't be a thief. ”

Zhang Xianzhong slapped his thigh, and said with a smile: "A good thief also has a way, a good saint, brave, righteous and wise!" ”

Zhang Jianzhi also said: "Your Majesty today is a thief who steals the country. He knows what the most important treasure in the world is, and that is holy. Although he started the army later than his father, he was also the first to rebel, and he was brave. In the face of the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers, he did not abandon the army and fled, which can be justified. He knows when to rebel, and he is wise. When he divided the spoils, he was fairer than his father, and he gave them to all the people of the world, which was worthy of benevolence. ”

Zhang Xianzhong was dumbfounded when he heard this: "The teacher of Fuzhou University, he actually dares to talk about this, isn't he afraid of killing his head?" ”

Zhang Jianzhi said with a smile: "Hehe, of course I don't dare to talk about it in class, these are all some drinking words that the teacher said in private when he was drunk." ”

I have to say that the new dynasty of Datong is really full of ideas.

"You don't want to associate with this teacher again, sooner or later he will be raided." Zhang Xianzhong admonished.

Zhang Jianzhi said: "Father, the thief of Taoism is not a pure bad person, but a person who does not succumb to inherent authority and morality. In "Miscellaneous Essays: Thieves", even Confucius is a false Taoist, and Yao Shunyu is not kind and unfilial. His Majesty is both a thief and a holy king. The false saint king is Chongzhen, and the real thief is His Majesty. The saint is immortal, and the thief is not stopped, that is, Chongzhen is immortal, the Ming Dynasty is immortal, and the thief like His Majesty, Father, and Li Zicheng will never be extinguished. ”

Zhang Xianzhong savored it: "But there is some truth." ”

Zhang Jianzhi said: "My teacher also said that many of Taoists' refutation of Confucianism was not the original intention of Lao Tzu, but was attached to the Taoist disciples in later generations. Lao Tzu's true meaning is 'wearing brown and carrying jade'. is wearing tattered brown clothes and carrying Baoyu in his arms. His Majesty advocates true morality, opposes false morality, rejects red tape, respects true feelings to sex, hates empty talk, and likes to practice it. Isn't this exactly what Taoism is pursuing? Isn't this exactly 'wearing brown and carrying jade'? ”

Zhang Xianzhong came back to his senses: "Your teacher, is you slapping the emperor's ass around the bend?" ”

Zhang Jianzhi said: "Father is here, he wants to be a real thief, not a thief and a thief." The real thief is to open up territory for the country and the people. No matter how much is killed, the emperor will not blame. Medium thieves and petty thieves are selfish and cannot last long. ”

"What kind of mess?" Zhang Xianzhong actually understood.

Zhang Jianzhi said: "Father should remember that there is a way to steal. The way of the thief is in the five words of sainthood, bravery, righteousness, wisdom and benevolence! ”

Zhang Xianzhong smiled and said: "You are not studying in vain in this university. ”

Zhang Jianzhi said: "To be a big thief in Semarang, this land is the greatest wealth, and it can be called holy if the Han people occupy the land." Dare to forge ahead, can be called brave. Being able to sympathize with subordinates can be justified. Knowing when and how to do it is wise. It can make the Han people in Semarang share the benefits, which can be called benevolent. If my father can do these five words, he will be a real thief. You don't have to ask for anything, when the time comes, fame and fortune will come. This is the Taoist truth, the husband is not fighting, and the world can not compete with it! ”

Zhang Xianzhong was convinced: "You fuck, why didn't you be born thirty years early." If Lao Tzu took you to fight the world back then, how could he use others as military advisors? ”

"When the father gives birth to a child, the child has no choice." Zhang Jianzhi expressed regret.

Zhang Xianzhong asked: "Tell me, what should I do?" ”

Zhang Jianzhi said: "The child just said very clearly, and the specific thing to do is to lead the Han people to expand the territory, and try to give more benefits to the officials, businessmen, landlords, and small people here." But there must also be rules, Semarang is different from the domestic situation, and local regulations should be customized. The "Datong Law" must not be violated first, and then a more detailed law will be formulated according to the local reality. With rules, everything is easy to do. Even if you want to kill someone one day, it's because this person has broken the rules. As soon as my father came, he killed people, and everyone was resentful in their hearts, and fear was greater than respect. If a person is killed in accordance with the law, it is said to be fair, and the people cannot complain. ”

"Makes sense." Zhang Xianzhong nodded.

"If you have the law, you should be polite," Zhang Jianzhi said, "The Han people here believe in a mess. It's the best religion, it's Mazu, and it's Guan Gong, so I have to advocate that they abandon their religion and return to the right path of China. You can set a rule, and in the future, there will be more rewards for only believing in Buddhism, and fewer rewards for believing in *** religion. The same is true for landlords and merchants, who cannot be taxed heavily, which will provoke their hostility. But it can bring more benefits to landlords and businessmen who have given up the religion. Everyone is profit-seeking, and this reform is changed. ”

"Makes sense." Zhang Xianzhong nodded again.

Zhang Jianzhi also said: "I also heard that in the eastern country of Surabaya, the Han people are very strong. In the future, my father will expand his territory and develop towards Surabaya. When the father kills the natives, he can also release some of them, and say in front of them that the Han people are respected and the natives can die. Put them back in Surabaya and stir up conflicts between the Han Chinese and the natives there. In the long run, the Han people in Surabaya can be used by me, and my father's soldiers are unanimous, and the Han people in Surabaya will inevitably win the grain scene! ”

Zhang Xianzhong scolded with a smile: "The reader is really evil, you didn't read this book in vain!" ”

Zhang Jianzhi continued: "There are other ways to provoke contradictions between the Han people and the natives, and the more fierce the better. If Surabaya can also be turned into Han soil, then a hundred years later, my father, a thief, can also become a saint. Just like Tian Chengzi is a thief, his descendant King Qi Wei is a holy king. My father is already old, and he should seek the merits of eternity, and he should not be greedy for small profits, and he will be able to leave a name in history in the future. Moreover, it still leaves a good name. ”
