Chapter Seventy-One: Strange Ancestors

There are always people in this world who are so magical, which can be called a collection of contradictions. Zu Ting is such a person, talented but morally corrupt, anti-corruption but himself is greedy, and his family background is illustrious but he is addicted to theft.

These contradictions focus on how a person looks at how the contradictions are, which is generally impossible. But Zu Ting turned the impossible into a possibility.

Zu Ting, the word filial piety, Fan Yangxuan, and Zu Chongzhi are of the same ancestry. He was born in a scholarly family, indulgent in nature, intelligent, talented, worthy of the title of genius, known as proficient in everything.

He has deep attainments in literature, music, language, divination, medicine, etc.!

First of all, he has a high literary literacy, writes good articles, and has gorgeous words, which is world-famous! Once for Mangshan Temple, Dingguo Temple to write inscriptions, the people of the time praised. The poems are very well written, and even the great writer Wei Shui is ashamed of himself.

And Zu Ting's music level is also very high, and he can be called a music master today.

Zu Ting hugged the pipa and played music, and the monks danced the Hu dance, which became a unique scenery on the Gao Zhan banquet.

He has a talent for languages, and the languages of the world and the north are not difficult for him, and the Xianbei language is a thief.

He is good at divination through yin and yang, and he is good at meeting people, and he saw that Gao Zhan was a potential stock through bone physiognomy, so he worked hard and achieved a lot of political status.

He also has a hobby of treating people, and he flipped through medical books and gave people two injections, but he accidentally became a famous doctor.

And he also has one skill, that is, alchemy!

In addition to morality, the rest of the intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor are in full development!

However, no one would have thought that such a talented man with all kinds of skills would have so many unsightly sides.

Greedy for money, lustful, corrupt and bribed, indulgent, morally corrupt. It's just bad, with sores on the top of the head and pus on the soles of the feet!

He has a unique taste, and commits adultery with an old widow, and is openly called "lady" by everyone before and after. If it were you, I guess I wouldn't have been able to stand it a long time ago, and I wouldn't dare to think about that picture, but Zu Ting loved it so much that he came back to life.

The old horse that Zu Ting usually rides is also very popular, called "Horse".

For this reason, the people of the time made up a couplet of absolutes: "The old horse is ten years old, and he is still called a horse; A wife is obedient, and she is still called a lady. The reputation of "Zu Ting" is known all over the city.

He is nostalgic for dance pavilions, prostitution halls, and often spends a lot of money for women. And a bad stomach. Yuan Jingxian's wife, who joined the army, was born noble, and he could have a way to let her be an escort for everyone.

He famously said, "A husband does not live up in his life." "What do you mean? The big husband lives in the world to live happily!

He also has a hobby of being a thief, and likes to steal things from celebrities, but unfortunately his skills are not good, it is not an authentic empty door, and he has basically never succeeded in stealing things.

It is said that he once went to participate in the banquet of Sima Shiyun's family in Jiaozhou, and took a fancy to the copper stack of others, so he took both sides and put them in his arms, and the Lord of the Assassin Shi was in a hurry, completely ignoring the faces of the guests, and asked his subordinates to search the guests one by one, and took them out of Mr. Zu's arms.

This kind of thing happened more than once, and there was another time when Gao Huan invited his subordinates, and the Kimporo used for drinking was lost, and Gao Huan's things dared to steal, it was really tired! In order to find out this person, General Dou Tai directly ordered everyone to take off their hats, and as a result, Dong Dong was inserted in Zu Ting's bun.

Later, Zu Ting took advantage of the opportunity to raise the history of the order and accepted bribes from more than a dozen people. After the matter was revealed, he was shuanggui.

Zu Ting's talent is still very high, and many times when he does things out of the ordinary, others let him go for the sake of his real talent.

For example, Gao Yang, Gao Yang never cares about other people's lives, but Zu Ting is an exception, although he has repeatedly done these despicable things to challenge Gao Yang's limit, Gao Yang still let him go, in fact, if these things were to be put on others, they would have been dismantled a long time ago! You must know that Gao Yang has a hobby of sawing people.

Soon, Gao Yang once again used Zu Ting, and arranged the work of drafting the edict, which is generally only blessed by the emperor's cronies.

Gao Yang also likes to joke, and when he saw Zu Ting, he greeted "kindly" and "the thief is coming".

Zu Ting does love to be a thief, but Zu Ting also has self-esteem, and being said by Gao Yang in public, Zu Ting is also very uncomfortable.

The villains can't afford to mess with them, because they will hold grudges. In the end, Zu Ting took revenge.

Gao Yang, as the founding monarch of the Northern Qi Dynasty, in the first few years of civil and martial arts, fighting Rouran, breaking the Turks, fighting the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Chen Dynasty were worried about moving the capital, but after a few years, he began to be proud, drunk like life, killed people like hemp, and committed adultery with the clan, which was absurd.

Zu Ting knew that Gao Yang's appearance would not last long, so he began to look for the next master among Gao Yang's more than a dozen brothers, and he chose Gao Zhan, the king of Changguang. It should be said that it was a smart choice. Gao Zhan has a bit of artistic taste, and the painting techniques invented by Zu Ting are very much to his taste. So Zu Ting got on Gao Zhan's side.

After Gao Yang's death, Gao Yang's son Gao Yin ascended the throne, and not long after Emperor Xiaozhao Gao Yan usurped the throne, and after another two years, Gao Yan fell off the horse and died, according to the agreement between Gao Yan and Gao Zhan's brothers, Gao Zhan took over.

Gao Zhan didn't forget Zu Ting, Zu Ting ushered in another climax of his career, and felt that he had to do something great when he brought a new peak in his life.

Soon he did two major things that he was proud of, that is, changing the name of the text and passing on the throne to the East Palace.

During the reign of Gao Yang, these younger brothers were either beaten or scolded, and they were killed, leaving a deep psychological shadow on Gao Zhan, who was fragile in his heart.

Zu Ting's words simply spoke to Gao Zhan's heart, and soon Gao Yang became Emperor Weizong Jinglie.

In all fairness, for Gao Yang, the nickname Jinglie is appropriate. As the founding emperor, there is nothing wrong with calling him an ancestor.

At that time, the crown prince was Gao Wei, and Gao Yan was even stronger, and the status of the crown prince Gao Wei was not guaranteed. Zu Ting looked at it, his opportunity came again, where is a backer? Only by supporting this master and knotting the next master can you enjoy life with confidence!

It happened that there was a change in the celestial phenomena and a comet came out, and the Taishi report said that it was a sign of "removing the old and spreading the new".

Zu Ting saw that the opportunity was rare, so he colluded with the monk to open a book: "Although Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, it is not extremely expensive. It is advisable to pass on the throne of the East Palace, so that the distinction between monarchs and ministers is determined early, and the above should be the way of heaven. ”

With the foreshadowing of good friends and Shikai, Gao Zhan easily adopted Zu Ting's opinion.

Gao Wei ascended the throne, Zu Ting worshiped the secretary and supervisor, and added Yi to the three divisions.

Zu Ting is a motivated person, who has been favored by two generations of emperors, and Zu Ting wants to progress again.

I began to feel that Heshikai, a former good comrade-in-arms, was an eyesore, and if he wanted to go further, he had to move away from Heshikai! So Zu Ting loudly impeached He Shikai in front of Gao Zhan, how could Gao Zhan sit idly by? So he asked Zu Ting loudly.

Zu Ting also said sharply: "He Shikai has the grace of promoting me, and I shouldn't have said him, but since Your Majesty asked, I don't dare to tell the truth."

He Shikai, Zhao Yanshen and others monopolized authority, controlled the imperial court, sold officials and prisons, and bribed the government. ”

Gao Zhan was half dead and asked him if he had slandered him, but Zu Ting said loudly: "There is no slander, what the minister said is the truth!" I heard that His Majesty brought a woman into the palace, but is there such a thing? ”

Gao Zhan's answer was really showy, "At that time, she was like a vegetable on the street, Chu Chu was pitiful, I just kindly took her in!" ”

Zu Ting gave full play to the spirit of not being afraid of death, rolled his eyes and said: "People are hungry like this, what you want is not to open a warehouse and release grain, but to take people into the palace?" ”

Gao Zhan was annoyed and ashamed, smashed Zu Ting's mouth with a knife ring, and ordered the whips and canes to be used to kill him immediately.

Zu Ting didn't look good, and said very wittily: "If you don't kill the ministers, Your Majesty will have a good name; Kill the minister, and the minister will have a good name. If Your Majesty wants to have a good name, don't kill your ministers, I can give Your Majesty an alchemy pill. ”

Gao Zhan thought about it, this was indeed the case, so he let him go.

But this man, once he wants to die, he really can't stop it! Zu Ting had just recovered a life, but he didn't have a long memory, so he muttered:

"Your Majesty has a fan increase, but it can't be used."

When the emperor heard this, the fire came up again: "You take Fan Zeng as a self-proclaimed, do you think I am Xiang Yu!"

Gao Zhan looked down on Xiang Yu, who had failed in success, and was very angry when he heard Zu Ting make such an analogy.

Zu Ting pulled his fingers and followed Gao Zhanshu, and said:

"Xiang Yu has become a hegemon in five years. Your Majesty, you are just borrowing from your father and brother, and it is not easy to take Xiang Yu lightly.

As for the minister's self-comparison with Fan Zeng, it is nothing, even if it is Zhang Liang, he may not be able to compare with me!

Zhang Liang, as the prince's master, invited four respected old men to protect the prince!

The minister is not the prime minister, but with a piece of loyalty, he persuaded His Majesty to take the throne, so that His Majesty was respected as the emperor, and two generations of monarchs were preserved!

How can Zhang Liang compare with me?! ”

Okay, Gao Zhan looks down on Xiang Yu, and now Gao Zhan is not even as good as Xiang Yu. Zu Ting didn't forget to step on Gao Zhan a few feet when he raised himself.

At this time, Gao Zhan was even more angry, and asked the left and right to grab a handful of soil and stuff it into Zu Ting's mouth, Zu Ting shouted while spitting, a posture of loyalty to the liver and courage, and not afraid of death.

After Gao Zhan beat him with two hundred lashes, he still felt angry (this thing is really resistant), dug a deep pit and sat in a dungeon, draped in shackles and locks, and smoked his eyes with turnip candles at night, Zu Ting's eyes were so bad.

Don't look at Zu Ting's motives, just look at Zu Ting's behavior, everyone will feel that this is like a courtier, he is simply the most righteous courtier in the world!

However, his feat was to seize power, which made people smile bitterly, and they wanted to step on his face!

So now the question is, this person is talented, but his character is so inferior that he can't do it, should Gao Wei use it or cut it directly?

It would be a pity if he killed him, after all, this guy is said to be really talented!

But if you don't kill it, Cushman & Wakefield has inexplicably itchy hands, what should I do?
