Chapter 309: Those who know the times are Junjie

Vile! ”

"Shameless!"

"Not a gentleman's doing!"

Seeing Gongsun Sheng dancing in front of him like a little orange cat, Li Kui was happy, pinching his chin with his big hand and laughing happily: "When did I say that I was a gentleman?" ”

"You're a villain?" Gongsun Sheng felt that this was already very serious, the literati of the Great Song Dynasty were particularly good-looking, regardless of whether they were really villains or gentlemen. As long as someone points to the nose of the scholar and says that they are villains, it is like kicking their ancestral grave, and they become emotional, and they want to fight with people endlessly.

Gongsun Sheng felt that although he pointed at Li Kui in a questioning tone, it was enough to make Li Kui jump like thunder, and the big slap was imprinted on his handsome face.

But what made him unable to react was that Li Kui looked at Fang Liang indifferently, and after a long time, he had a deep sentence like a big ambition: "It's okay to be a real villain who does things." ”

It's too tiring to be a gentleman.

It's comfortable to be a villain.

But a real villain is not necessarily a traitor. Li Kui doesn't care about fame, so after he has no moral shackles of fame, he can naturally let him spend this life as he wants. Is there anything more comfortable than living like this?

Gongsun Sheng was completely dumbfounded, he had mistaken Li Kui from the beginning.

What does this make him do?

It's panicked!

Besides, his wife is in Li Kui's hands, although he said that his origin was quite secret, but he didn't expect to reveal a flaw. But let him take refuge in Li Kui, it was difficult for Gongsun Sheng to accept such a result.

originally thought that kidnapping Li Kui morally might be able to find a glimmer of life for himself. But Li Kui's reaction completely knocked his mood to the bottom. He has grown so big, and he has never seen anyone say that it is good to be a villain.

Agitation will not work.

Gongsun Sheng could only say to Li Kui in an almost pleading tone: "Gongzi Li, you are porcelain, why should you embarrass me as a sloppy Taoist?" The one you are destined to achieve a career threatens me, and can only worry those who are close to you. They are following big heroes, big heroes, if they know that you are a small person, wouldn't it be chilling, so they will stay away from you. Besides, it is unwise to embarrass people with the lives of their parents, the former overlord threatened Pei Gong with his parents, wife and children, and finally ended up in a dismal end, the son should take it as a warning! ”

"I didn't intend to hurt your mother, and I put my heart in my stomach." Li Kui is a scholar, so he naturally wants to use the method of a scholar to solve this situation: "Although I don't mind doing something that is not in the stream. But in the matter of your mother, you will still follow the method of a scholar and demand yourself according to the standards of celebrities. ”

Baume & Mercier?

It's really difficult to deal with people like Gongsun Sheng.

He doesn't look down on high-ranking officials, he doesn't have rare gold and silver treasures, and if he is really unhappy, he can play missing.

Anyway, if he didn't grasp Gongsun Sheng's weakness, how could Li Kui rest assured that Gongsun Sheng would give him allegiance?

As for whether Gongsun Sheng will hate him.

He didn't care about this problem at all, there were more people who hated him, no more than him, no less than him, Li Kui didn't care about one more guy named Gongsun Sheng in the list of hating him. In addition, if he can secretly control the nest of bandits in Liangshan, it is not a bad thing for him, but a good thing.

Oh people!

There are always some things that you can't do well, or it's very difficult to do, and you can't put them on the surface.

If you leave it to someone who is already a bandit, there is naturally nothing to worry about. To put it bluntly, he also wants to cultivate his own power, but the power of the military and the government is too slim for him. As for the official position that Zhongjin Shi conferred on the general judgment, Fan Chunren may be able to deceive Li Yun with these words, but there is really no hope of deceiving Li Kui.

Even if he was admitted to the Jinshi, he became a general judge nine years later, and became a governor in about fifteen years. If you still don't have the opportunity to enter Bianliang as an official, this life will be like this.

How can this be reconciled?

Zhang Kai, the talent of the dignified champion, the identity of the Jinshi and the first.

Just because he didn't become an official in the capital, he was about to be a jinshi for 30 years, and he was still an official in Saibei? Although the official is not small, Zhang Qi may not be able to become one of the most important bigwigs in the Great Song Dynasty in his life. Especially this old man is still born in Enyin, and ten years later, he is a Jinshi in the middle of the road. It stands to reason that he should have been among the high-ranking officials in the court a long time ago, but he has been an official for forty years, and it is difficult to even return to the capital to be an official.

It can be seen that being an official really depends on luck. That is, official luck. Capable people will not necessarily be valued, and even many unlucky people will be suppressed, excluded, or even belittled.

The opposite example is Cai Bian, who has been a Zhongjin Shi for 15 years, but now he is already a deputy minister.

One step late, one step late.

Although Li Kui has been planning for a long time and has some confidence in himself, the basic operation of this Zhongjinshi has not been completed, let alone being a high-ranking official. What if he was unhappy as an official that day and wanted to pick a son?

It's not that there is no such possibility, many people become petty officials who have not entered the stream for nine years after becoming a sergeant. For example, his teacher Zhou Yuan, who has been a professor for three years, a scholar for three years, and a county magistrate for three years, finally became a county magistrate, and has been a jinshi for almost ten years.

Therefore, being an official will definitely not make him happy. He is likely to get a petty official who is not in the stream when he is electing officials, and then simply quit. As long as you have a Jinshi status in your hand, it is enough.

But it's not the same with people in your hands, at least there's a way to move around. This is also the reason why Li Kui saw Gongsun Sheng and wanted to control him in his hands.

And he also understands that he is nothing now, and it is unrealistic to want Gongsun Sheng to take refuge.

Without using some extraordinary means, this guy won't take care of himself at all.

Besides, Gongsun Sheng's house is also quite hateful, and he used to bewitch the third uncle to blindly recognize his ancestors, if it weren't for the fact that there were too many people who opposed it, the Li family in Yizhou would probably become the gathering place of the Li Tang royal family in the Great Song Dynasty. Can the clansmen still fall? With this grievance, it is even more difficult for Gongsun Sheng to take refuge sincerely. Anyway, it's all like this, and Li Kui doesn't mind giving this one some means.

Gongsun Sheng stammered cautiously, he found that there were always some people in the world who were not known by him.

Li Kui said that he used the means of celebrities.

He is a Taoist priest, how do you know what means the celebrity will use?

After hesitating for a long time, Gongsun Sheng asked, "I don't know what to do?" ”

"Have you read the Book of Han?"

Li Kui's cold questioning really made Gongsun Sheng very unaccustomed. What does reading the Book of Han have to do with being a Taoist?

Besides, how many Taoist priests are bored to read the Book of Han?

Gongsun Sheng naturally shook his head: "No." ”

Li Kui asked again: "Have you read the Book of the Later Han Dynasty?" ”

Gongsun Sheng felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and said with a cold face: "No." ”

"This can be there." Li Kui induced: "Even if I haven't seen it before, I should watch some of it today." ”

As he spoke, he ran out and brought the Book of the Later Han Dynasty from his car. Most of the people who rush to take the exam will bring some books, but it is rare to see someone like Li Kui who is almost like moving.

Holding several boxes of books, Li Kui was full of pride: "I was very inspired by reading "The Book of the Later Han" a few days ago. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was a dazzling era of celebrities! The practice of not sticking to the rules makes people feel a sense of enlightenment. ”

After speaking, he asked Gongsun Sheng to open it by himself, but Li Kui found an idle book and looked at it by himself.

Gongsun Sheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, he didn't expect that he was a Taoist priest and would have to find the answer to save his mother from the history books. It made him feel very strange in his heart. Sneaking a glance at Li Kui, a sneak attack was impossible, Gongsun Sheng really didn't know if Li Kui pretended not to care about him, or if he really didn't take him seriously. Anyway, I always feel that something is wrong in my heart.

Hashigen?

Famous ministers in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

There are not too many deeds recorded in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty.

But his person is bright and upright, which can be described as a big husband. is not afraid of treachery and dares to speak out about the mistakes of his boss, especially when he was a captain, there are thieves in Luoyang who often kidnap the son of the powerful family and use it to blackmail the powerful. Qiao Xuan, as the head of the Three Princes, was naturally targeted by thieves.

So one day his favorite youngest son was kidnapped by thieves.

After Qiao Xuan found out, he ruthlessly asked the soldiers to attack the thieves, and in the end, the thieves were all killed, and his own son also died. At that time, it caused a shock in Luoyang, and Qiao Xuan also specially ordered the local governments to face the kidnapping of the heirs of the powerful, just to intercept and kill the thieves, and not to give the thieves the opportunity to extort.

This is a ruthless man......

Be cruel to others, and be even more ruthless to yourself.

Gongsun Sheng's bad premonition increased a little, knowing that he saw that when Qiao Xuan was once a taishou, he conquered Jiang Qi, a famous man in the territory, but celebrities have tempers and don't want to be officials, so they use illness to shirk it. But Qiao Xuan is unrelenting, and he must let Jiang Qi do things in Taishou Mansion. even said ruthlessly to the superintendent who carried out the order: "Jiang Qi is not here, and he is interested in marrying his mother." ”

Seeing this, Gongsun Sheng couldn't sit still.

Qiao Xuan was persuaded in the end, but who would persuade Li Kui?

Besides, I can't be like Jiang Qi, my wife has been forced to marry, and she is still indifferent, right?

Gongsun Sheng still didn't dare to think about it, plus Qiao Xuan was a celebrity, but Li Kui was not. This guy just said that if it was more comfortable to be a villain, he wouldn't mind being a real villain.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Sheng burned inside, pointed at Li Kui and said, "This move is intolerable? ”

Li Kui didn't have the idea of continuing to raise the bar with Gongsun Sheng, and he was annoyed when he went around in circles: "What if your mother is willing?" Don't worry, I'm a particular person, and I'll definitely find you a good stepfather. ”

Gongsun Sheng looked at Li Kui with an angry face, the Great Song Dynasty and the Two Hans, it is really not a big rebellion for a woman to remarry. Anyway, it's quite normal, people always have to live, what if a person can't live? You can only remarry.

It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married. Heavenly King Lao Tzu can't control this matter. But this is voluntary, besides, Gongsun Sheng can't accept the situation of his multiple stepfathers.

"I promised."

After saying this, Gongsun Sheng was like a defeated rooster, the strength in his body seemed to be drained, and he sat on the ground, staring blankly at the door, and the dark night, like the huge mouth of a beast, devoured him completely.

Fingers laboriously plucked out his ears, Li Kui was dissatisfied and said, "I didn't hear it." ”

Gongsun Sheng stood up with a miserable face, walked up to Li Kui, buried his once noble head, knelt down, and choked up: "Sheng...... Ever seen...... Master. ”

Where has he been so wronged in his life?

After saying this, tears fell from my eyes.

It's a pity that when I met a hard-hearted man, I didn't have any sympathy at all, and pointed to the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the bookcase and said to Gongsun Sheng: "Write the secret recipe of gunpowder on paper." ”

Gongsun Sheng's heart trembled when he heard the word gunpowder, he knew that it was not easy to gain Li Kui's trust, but as soon as Li Kui opened his mouth, he asked him to tell the secret of the Daomen.

Gunpowder had begun to be used in the army of the Great Song Dynasty, but it was a military secret of the Great Song Dynasty and was not common among the people. But the most powerful gunpowder is still in the hands of Daomen.

Mainly because, gunpowder was discovered by Taoist priests.

Although gunpowder is a waste product for refining elixir, it is undoubtedly a good means for Taoist priests who often have to pretend to be gods to win the trust of believers.

Palm Thunder.

Son and mother thunder.

Just listening to these names, there is a kind of tall and boundless appearance.

In the military, gunpowder is used as a secret weapon. But bluffing is more effective than killing.

Gongsun Sheng secretly complained, he wanted to write a fake recipe to deceive Li Kui.

But what if Li Kui asked him to dispense gunpowder?

As for the use of expensive and impractical drugs into gunpowder, it is easy to arouse Li Kui's suspicions.

Seeing this, Li Kui said leisurely: "If you don't want to write, you don't have to write, anyway, there is no more of you, and there is no less of you." ”

Gongsun Sheng suddenly thought of Wu Yong, yes, this guy is a traitor, and he is a traitor, although he betrayed the Daomen, but the burden in his heart seems to be not so heavy.

After gritting his teeth and putting down his pen, Gongsun Sheng wrote faster and faster, until a letterhead was full of words, and then he respectfully presented it to Li Kui with both hands.

The reason why Li Kui asked Gongsun Sheng to hand over the secret recipe of gunpowder.

As soon as he came, he knew the truth at a glance.

The formula of gunpowder is very simple, one charcoal, two nitrate, three sulfur.

As long as Li Kui looks at whether Fang Zi is right or not, he can see whether Gongsun Sheng really took refuge or fake.

How dare Gongsun Sheng fool Li Kui in this matter, the prescription given is naturally a secret thing of the Daomen.

But Li Kui's eyes fell on the note, but he frowned slightly. It's not that the recipe is wrong, the main materials are there. Whether it is charcoal, sulfur or saltpeter, they are all the main ingredients, and naturally they will not be missed.

But what the hell is borneol?

Although he has different pharmacology, in order to soak tiger bone wine, he also learned a lot of herbal medicine in front of Su Shi. Of course, Su Shi's medical skills are self-taught, in terms of level...... sparse and ordinary, but it can't stand his old man's special self-confidence, and he considers himself a famous doctor. Anyway, no one looked for him to see a doctor, and they didn't dare to look for him, they all knew that Su Shi's medical skills were not effective from time to time, and they were particularly evil.

Li Kui naturally remembered a lot of medicines.

He naturally knows the effect of borneol: the most commonly used treatment condition is canker sores.

Li Kui pointed to the ingredient of borneol and asked Gongsun Sheng: "Why do you use it?" ”

Gongsun Sheng didn't know what to do, and thought that Li Kui was deliberately finding fault, but he didn't dare to disobey Li Kui's meaning: "The sulfur smells stinky, and the gas is evil after incineration. ”

Li Kui was a little confused, gunpowder is not for explosion, the gunpowder made by Daomen actually dislikes the smell of sulfur, and even adds expensive borneol?

Li Kui saw that Gongsun Sheng looked like he was taking it for granted, and it didn't seem like he was deliberately coaxing him.

Especially when he recalled that when Song Jiang attacked him with two kicks, he really didn't seem to smell the smelly smell after the explosion of gunpowder.

Nodding noncommittally, he pointed to the chicken and asked, "Why did you join the chicken?" ”

Gongsun Sheng said as a matter of course: "The chicken is the head of the yang bird of heaven and earth, and the chicken is its essence, and adding it to it has the effect of increasing power." ”

Li Kui blinked his eyes for a while, and found that his stomach was empty, and he had no words to refute.

Decisively gave up discussing the issue of gunpowder with Gongsun Sheng, and asked: "Why were you interested in my Li family at the beginning, don't think that I will believe it if my Li family has money to prevaricate." ”

Gongsun Sheng's eyes dodged, but he didn't dare to look at Li Kui.

Anyway, Li Kui said that he wouldn't believe anything, Gongsun Sheng actually bewitched the third uncle in order to cheat money, and he would believe it if it was put on other Taoist monks, but it was impossible for Gongsun Sheng to disappear.

Gongsun Sheng's face was cloudy, he didn't speak, it seemed that his heart was entangled, but Li Kui didn't give him time to think about it, and the formula with gunpowder said to Gongsun Sheng: "I can't understand this formula, but your master should understand, right?" ”

Gongsun Sheng looked at Li Kui in surprise, he had seen a shameless person, but he had never seen such a shameless person as Li Kui.

let him betray, and then sue his master Luo Zhenren.

You are so unproductive, how can you convince the public?

But this is also a pain point that poked at Gongsun Sheng, he found out that one wrong step, one wrong step, now he has no chance to turn back, as long as he resigned himself to the wry smile: "Master, this is the secret of the Daomen, related to the world, once the Daomen of the world knows that you know this secret, you will be regarded as a thorn in the flesh, and you will not stop if you are not eradicated." ”

Li Kui sneered: "Do you think I'm a person who is afraid of things? ”

How could Li Kui be afraid of things, he didn't cause trouble, he was already burning high incense.

The only way to threaten Li Kui was gone, and Gongsun Sheng suddenly felt that he had made a mistake, but he still said: "The poor road went down the mountain for the sake of the teacher's life and for the sake of the Daomen." The reason why it appeared in the green forests of the rivers and lakes is because Daomen felt the crisis in the world, and if you want to survive this crisis, you must need strength, and Poor Dao is looking for a protector for Daomen. ”

"What Dharma Protector?"

Li Kui didn't understand why the Daomen still had to find a protector.

Gongsun Sheng explained: "The Great Song Dynasty is too comfortable, so comfortable that the people only know that money moves people's hearts, but they don't know that the peace of the world is the blessing of the people." Now the military equipment is not repaired, foreign aid is cut off, and the country is in danger of overturning. ”

"You look at the Li clan in Baizhang Village, you just think that the strength of the Li clan is acceptable, and you are ready to control the Li clan?" Speaking of which, if Li Kui didn't understand it, he wouldn't dare to take the provincial exam.

It turned out that Daomen had already sensed the crisis.

The reason why I fell in love with the Li family in Baizhang Village is because the Li family is rich and strong enough.

Gongsun Sheng wanted to shake his head, but he still nodded and said, "Yes, but he has hated the master." ”

Li Kui nodded and said, "I believe it." ”

Gongsun Sheng suddenly felt relieved, he was afraid that he would tell all the secrets, and in the end Li Kui still didn't believe it. However, Li Kui's next words made him stunned: "By the way, let me ask you, how do you think Cheng Zhijie will hate you?" Cheng Zhijie is the chief general of the officers and soldiers who were scared away by you. ”

"You can't win, can you?" Gongsun Shengdao.

"No way, I'll stop him." Li Kui dropped a sentence and ran to rest, leaving Gongsun Sheng dumbfounded. What does this mean, he always feels like he is about to be in trouble?
