Guo Pu, the envoy of the government, liked this famous city in the north, and the local officials of the Ming Dynasty had not yet achieved the age of his own, ruling the four provinces, although the combined population of these four places was not as large as that of another province.
Over the past few years, watching Beiping prosper day by day, becoming rich day by day, just like watching your children slowly grow up, your heart is full of indescribable joy. Despite this child's shortcomings of one kind or another, the father still likes to show off his son's advantages in front of everyone, and then modestly say a few words in the praise of the guests: "The dog is ignorant, don't hold him too high, lest he be proud and complacent" - if there is really a guest who is not interested in accusing the child of ignorance and lack of tutoring, even if the father is humble, he will greet the ancestors of the guests one by one in his stomach.
Now there is such an uninteresting person sent to the door, and Shi Cheng is still quite related to Guo Pu, and can be regarded as a brother of the same door. Holding Uncle Shi's letter, he traveled thousands of miles to Youzhou, only to argue with Guo Pu.
"Abuse of power, thirst for wealth, admiration of mechanical power, selfishness, pride in brutality and barbarism, collapse of liturgy, dissociation of the program, often in the past, do not wait for others to be destroyed, they will self-destruct..."
Although Guo Pu scolded secretly in his stomach, on the surface he still had to politely listen to his brother's generous statement, like Bai Zheng, you really want to blow him out, but it has achieved his reputation for integrity, it is better to spend time with him.
Bai Zheng didn't think so, his name moved Jiangnan in the year of his weak crown, and the six arts were passed down as exquisite. In his heart, the way and words of the saints are a model of behavior for the whole society, as long as mortals speak and do things in line with the way of the saints, then Daming will reproduce the glory of the Four Yi Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty, and perhaps the world of saints will also reappear in the near future. He, on the other hand, is an important force that promotes the reappearance of the saints, and the sense of mission on his shoulders makes him face all hardships and cold eyes.
A few months ago, he wrote a recital that resonated with more than a hundred famous people in Jiangnan, who expected that the imperial court had taken the folded Du Shu out of context, resulting in the failure of the entire sniper operation of the New Deal. Wang Ben, Du You, Raiders, and Du Yu fell one after another, and their own strength was greatly damaged. Although shen bin, the first general envoy of customs, lost his post and resigned, and the customs personnel changed blood, at best, it can only be regarded as a contest between those who support the new policy and those who oppose the new policy.
Bai Zheng was really unwilling not to uproot the New Deal, and now, the loyal and honest character of the people of the Northern Kingdom had been corrupted to the point that the New Deal took the lead in "profit". This time all the way north, when staying in the countryside, the wildlings did not treat him as well as they did in the book, but always bargained with him because of a head of garlic and a pot of wine. Not to mention the landlords who made their fortune by growing cotton, some people heard him report the name of the smoke and fishing sorcerer, and even threw out zhuangzi with a cover, leaving no face at all.
Personal setbacks aside, many places today are made rich by the New Deal by outlaws, and peasants who have lost their land are squeezed out of their last life by low wages and work that lasts more than nine hours a day. Not for their own gains and losses, for the sake of the life and death of the people in this world, we cannot allow the New Deal to continue to develop like this!
Despite the persuasion of other scholars, Bai Zheng held the determination to die, he wanted to prove that the New Deal was wrong in the birthplace of the New Deal, to educate the world from the source, and to make the people who had gone astray completely awake. And the key to all this lies in his own master and disciple.
Bai Zheng believes that his fellow disciple Guo Pu is a rare talent, and since he can achieve the New Deal, he can also destroy the New Deal. In the past, Bai Zheng thought that it was the master and disciple who were deceived by the evil people, and as long as he slowly explained the reason with the master and disciple, he would definitely be able to impress him. To this end, Bai Zheng spent several months searching for all the examples of the collapse of liturgy and the failure of the avenue since the implementation of the New Deal in various places, searching for the miserable scenes of the people being victimized by the New Deal, searching for all kinds of shameless deeds of unscrupulous businessmen who used the New Deal to hoard Juqi, and preparing a set of words more rigorously than zhu Yuanzhang's recital, and he wanted to implement a strategy of condemnation against Guo Pu!
Autumn in Peiping is cool and dry, and the sun shines through the bright glass windows in the living room. The family feast has been used, the teapot on the small table has been changed several times, and the guests still have no consciousness to leave. Mrs. Guo, who was hiding next door to eavesdrop, gritted her teeth in hatred and slandered her husband's brother.
"Where did the nerds come from?" In the world of the saints, did the saints see what glass looked like, did the saints have firearms at that time, did the saints have looms at that time? ”
Guo Pu picked up the teacup and took a small sip. At this time, he must already have a plan in mind.
"Master and brother are not far away, may as well stay a few more days." I arranged a room for you in the academy, where students come and go every day, and it is a good place to read and discuss."
Looking at Guo Pu's lukewarm appearance, Bai Zheng knew that he had wasted his own painstaking efforts, sighed, and got up to resign.
"Master and brother, when it comes to being an official, master and brother are indeed inferior to you." However, the way of the saints taught by the master must always be kept in mind by each other, and we must not always take care of the moment in front of us, and the misfortune will be thousands of disasters, otherwise what face will we face the ancestors of the past generations under the spring? ”
"The words of the master and brother are serious, and the contemptible people have learned the way of the saints since childhood, and what the officials abide by is also the teachings and hearts of the saints. As for the shortcomings that Master brother said, they really did not arise from the New Deal. If master and brother don't believe it, they may wish to walk around at will in Beiping and see how different the same business is brought to the people by different people."
"Then I will resign, do not disturb the adults' official duties and seek the welfare of the people, China has been cultivating and fighting since ancient times, and the adults must think twice about everything."
