Chapter 18: Loyal and Liang Goes to the Thief Ship
Song Lian guessed correctly.
But not exactly!
Zhao Cheng's purpose was indeed to pull him into the gang and rebel together.
In fact, it is not a rebellion.
The real purpose of getting acquainted with Song Lian and exempting him from Zhu Chongba's butcher's knife was to use Song Lian's status in the scholar class to promote the popularization of simplified Chinese characters.
This matter is far more important than an ordinary rebellion!
It's just that Zhao Cheng is not sure how Song Lian will choose between the people of the world and the scholar class.
If he voluntarily chooses all the people of the world and actively cooperates, then it is okay to give him this great merit that far surpasses that of a saint.
But if he doesn't want to.
Then it's no wonder Zhao Cheng.
He has 10,000 ways to make Song Lian "willing"!
The initial contact between the two was quite harmonious, which seems to be the credit of the wine.
The old man was so old that he drank several glasses in a row and refused to give up.
If Zhao Cheng hadn't given him the half bottle of wine in the end, maybe he would have wanted to pull Zhao Cheng to finish drinking this bottle of wine.
"What kind of flask is this? Pretty peculiar? ”
Song Lian held the bottle of Moutai, couldn't put it down, and kept looking, "What state?" What kind of wine is Mao? ”
The old gentleman was puzzled for a while, but after all, he was the most talented person in the world, and he had extraordinary knowledge, so he quickly reacted.
"This is Kweichow Moutai?"
Song Lian was very surprised, he knew that Moutai had just changed its name a few years ago.
This thing used to be called wolf-paste, which is a tribute wine, which sells well at home and abroad, and is not very famous.
But Song Lian has also drunk a lot of Moutai, not this taste!
The gap between each other is quite big.
Could it be that he used to drink fake wine?
The old gentleman learned Zhao Cheng's movements, unscrewed the strange bottle mouth, and sniffed it near his nose.
A super enjoyable look, with an ethereal feeling.
"Well, there are differences, and the differences are quite big, but there are still commonalities."
Song Lian savored it carefully, constantly thinking of the Moutai he had drunk before, and it seemed that there was really a trace of taste.
"Is this a new breed?"
The old gentleman drew the scoop according to the gourd, screwed the bottle cap on, and stared at Zhao Cheng pitifully.
He very much hoped that Zhao Cheng would say yes.
If so, he doesn't have to hide it too much.
As long as he survives under Zhu Chongba's butcher's knife, he will have a lot of opportunities to drink this wine in the future.
"No, it's out of print." Zhao Cheng's very flat voice was extremely indifferent when it fell into the old man's ears.
He couldn't figure it out, it was already summer, and he was even almost full, why could this little bastard say such cold words!?
"But ......" Zhao Cheng's voice gradually changed, he can also do such a thing as selling guanzi.
"But what, you say?"
The old man is a little anxious, although he was born in a poor family, but since he made a fortune by relying on his talents, what kind of wine has he not drunk?
Almost, alcoholic!
If he could be accompanied by such fine wine for the rest of his life, he would have no regrets in his death.
"Kweichow Moutai, you will understand when you hear the name, it is produced in Guizhou, if you have the opportunity to cooperate with Moutai in the future, even if you can't brew such a liquor exactly the same, it is possible to brew a seven, seven, eight or eight, which depends on whether the teacher gives it or not, if it gives ...... force"
Zhao Cheng only spoke half a sentence, and the second half of the sentence could not be said yet.
After all, if Song Lian is powerful, Zhao Cheng may be able to use a lot of strength, have a lot of springboards, and may be able to cut off Bashu in a short time.
Once Bashu is divided, it will be much easier to take Yungui.
Yungui is in their own hands, and it is not easy to improve Moutai?
Song Lian didn't think about it so much, or he selectively forgot the second half of the sentence.
He only knew that this kind of divine brew was indeed related to Moutai, and it was possible for Moutai to brew this so-called divine liquor.
As long as it can be made, it will be much more comfortable in old age.
Of course, the premise is that you can survive under Zhu Chongba's butcher's knife.
It's a hard question.
At least for a traditional reader like Song Lian, it is not an easy task.
In particular, his deep-rooted Confucian thought almost carved "the monarch and the minister have to die" into his bones.
In the historiography hundreds of years later, there is also a theory that Song Lian hanged himself in Kuizhou during his exile.
Maybe that's the truth.
A person with strict ethics like Song Lian adhered to principles to the extreme, not only teaching the crown prince Zhu Biao to be a disciple of Confucianism, but he himself was a practitioner of Confucianism.
Because Zhu Chongba gave white silk, it is also possible to hang himself.
For this kind of thing, Zhao Cheng is not interested.
After admitting the fake teacher-student relationship with Song Lian, he was dragged by this old guy to his temporary residence in Wuchang.
Not to mention, it's a relatively high-end house.
In the parlance of a few hundred years later, it is a single-family luxury villa.
It's not tens of millions, don't even think about it!
Of course, this is not Song Lian's.
It's just that his status in the Ming reading world is too high, and he knows too many people, and many people have been favored by him.
Even if the world is full of peaches and plums, there are still a bunch of powerful, rich and powerful friends......
So much so that he was exiled, and he came all the way from Ying Tianfu without the appearance of being exiled at all.
Everywhere you go, there are people to receive you, although there are no luxury cars, but there are mansions, if it weren't for the old man's age, it would not be strange that there were groups of beautiful women.
Thanks to him, Zhao Cheng has been in this world for more than four months, and it is the first time he has entered the upper class.
Not to mention, it's really ** poor and extravagant!
After the initial contact, the relationship between them became much closer.
At least Song Lian, the old fox, understands a lot of things.
This little marquis of the Zhao family has changed!
It's completely out of touch with my past memories.
There is not the slightest sign of not being an organ second-generation.
Song Lian was puzzled, how can a person make such a huge change?
Could it really be a family upheaval that made this little marquis mature in an instant?
However, this idea was ultimately rejected by Song Lian.
The time for Zhao Cheng to change was too short.
In more than four months, how likely is he to transform from a good-for-nothing second-generation to his current level?
Personality may change suddenly.
But knowledge and insight will not!
In just four months, a gentleman has perfectly transformed into a demonic existence that knows astronomy and geography, how incredible is this?
Even Zhao Cheng would say something back to the basics from time to time, many things were as simple as the Great Dao, but no one had ever done detailed research for thousands of years......
All this is even more incredible.
Song Lian was puzzled.
This kind of doubt is no different from his protégé Zhu Biao.
It is worthy of the same lineage, and many thoughts coincide!
These are actually nothing, what really shocked Song Lian was that Zhao Cheng gave him a copy of "Xinhua Dictionary"!
This book is amazing at first glance.
After taking a closer look, Song Lian was not just shocked.
He was extremely knowledgeable, and he easily understood a lot of things, and understood the terrifying influence of this "Xinhua Dictionary".
Looking at this book, the old gentleman realized something in a trance.
I probably guessed the purpose of this little marquis looking for himself.
Perhaps, it is not as simple as rebellion.
He hesitated.
Deliberately avoided Zhao Cheng all day.
He's still thinking about how he's going to choose.
If you follow Zhao Cheng's idea, there is a high probability that the things in this book will be widely promoted in his identity and name.
This move, in a way, is to justify the name of vulgar characters!
Even if he Song Lian is a seventy-year-old respected old man,
Even if he is now the leader of the world's scholars,
Even if he is the core figure of the entire scholarly class......
He may not be able to bear the impact and consequences of justifying the name of vulgar characters.
This matter, in a way, is digging the roots of the scholars!
will inevitably bear the pressure of the world's corporal doctors.
Some people may oppose it, some people may support it, and some people may have a neutral wait-and-see attitude......
After all, his Song Lian's reputation and status are there!
But he knows very well that once he does that, there will inevitably be many voices of opposition and doubt.
It's not even as simple as that!
The control of the scholar family over the entire Xia clan scholars, for the most fundamental and core interests, may be heavier than Zhu Chongba's heart to kill him!
But Song Lian understood that it was not a way for him to hide from Zhao Cheng like this.
You have to face it!
"The teacher suddenly came to the disciple, has he thought it through?"
For Song Lian to come to see him in person, Zhao Cheng was not surprised at all.
This guy was born in a real poor family, and it was only after he became famous that he really represented the scholar class.
Before that, his three views were basically established.
The so-called "loyalty" of the scholar class is far less profound than that of those scholarly families.
After all, people who can write that "the family is poor, there is no way to read books, and every time they borrow from a book collection house, they write it down by hand, and count the days to pay it back", naturally understand the difficulties of reading for people at the bottom.
Then there is "Yu Li's left and right, questioning the reasoning, leaning over and leaning in to please; or when he encounters his aggressiveness, the more respectful he is, the more polite he is, and he doesn't dare to say a word; If he is pleased, he will be pleased. ”
His Song Lian's feelings for the scholar class are really not so deep!
At least, much less affection than for the peasants.
This is also the real reason why he followed Zhu Chongba, but in the end he was dissatisfied with Zhu Chongba's betrayal of the peasants.
"I can help you, but you have to make sure I survive." Song Lian is old, and he still speaks loudly.
"No problem, it's just a little golden cicada coming out of its shell, it's very easy, you take this thing,
When Zhu Chongba's people come, you will do this first, then like this, and then ...... like this."
Zhao Cheng gave him a jade bottle and imparted knowledge on how to survive.
……
Ying Tianfu, the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Study.
"Where is Jiang?" Emperor Wu of Han asked at the air, and his tone was very bad.
Although the war in the north was going well, the two traitors in the south, Zhao Yong and Zhu Liangzu, were too jumpy, which made him very unhappy.
It is necessary to mobilize the manpower and material resources of Jinyiwei as soon as possible, and make every effort to prepare for the pacification of Yungui and the pacification of the south.
"Back to Your Majesty, according to the plan, Lord Jiang has arrived in Wuchang, and it is expected that it will be finished tonight."
A brocade guard hidden in the dark, who is also the emperor's personal eunuch, was exposed and replied.
"Good!"
Zhu Chongba was very happy to get the exact news.
Finally, you can send that bastard Song Lian away.
Although you can't chop and feed the dog, it's a matter of heart.
……
In Wuchang, the sky is already dark.
It is Song Lian's temporary residence here, and the lights are as bright as the sky.
Song Taishi Gong, who has been honest all his life, has a rare desire for poverty and luxury.
Fortunately, he is old, even if those dancing girls are full of all kinds of temptations and charms, it is difficult to make him happy.
Although, the girls may be very willing to have something to do with him.
Zhao Cheng didn't leave, and he was also in this party, watching the girls dance, which was quite cheerful.
It's just that it didn't take long for the joy to break in, and a group of brocade guards broke in.
"Taishi Gong is so happy!"
