Chapter 200 The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of everyone
"Haha, do you think I'm polite? I know deeply that Gu Jiang from Kunshan is knowledgeable and talented. Although he often fails in the scientific examination, he has hidden a lot of hills and valleys in his heart. He has learned a lot. Although he also reads the Four Books and Five Classics, he is best at practical learning. I have always been very interested in practical learning. I have only started to devote myself to scientific examinations in recent years. Maybe I am lucky, so I embarked on the career of officialdom. However, it is precisely because of those years of hard study and practical learning that I can achieve some achievements in fighting against the robbers. Today I met Brother Gu, which is considered to have met a confidant."
"Your Madam is here to testify," Jiang Pingjie said immediately after hearing this: "You are lucky enough to follow you and learn a lot from you. You have benefited a lot from you. You are not only classics, poetry, songs, military strategies, agriculture, firearms, medicine, and business. You are simply a rare genius in the world."
Gu Jiang naturally had to believe Jiang Pingjie's words, because Jiang Pingjie looked respectful when he said this, and this look definitely didn't look like he was pretending.
At the same time, Gu Jiang was deeply shocked by Ma Mingfeng's words just now. It should be logical that he was just a young scholar and had no reputation. Ma Mingfeng could not know him so clearly, but Ma Mingfeng's words just now were obviously very familiar with him, so he said something.
So Gu Jiang said in disbelief: "It is really admirable that adults know so clearly about a little person like a student. Since adults are also studying practical studies, students have a few questions to ask you for advice. I wonder if they can give me some advice?"
Ma Mingfeng laughed and said, "Of course, but we can't discuss knowledge on the street, right? This way, why don't you follow me to the humble house and talk about it? How about we drink and have fun?"
Guizhuang is also a bold and unrestrained person. When he heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "This is really something I can't ask for, and students can also use it to benefit from it."
After saying that, the group of people went to Ma Mingfeng's home with a smile.
The so-called "home" here is naturally the house that Ma Mingfeng built for Li Xiangjun. He had just arrived in Nanjing and saw the beauty. He could not abandon her and go directly to the Ma Mansion, right?
So Ma Mingfeng walked in front, naturally took the beauty's hand and took everyone to his home.
Li Xiangjun's face was flushed. Seeing so many people watching, she wanted to shake off Ma Mingfeng's hand, but she had been separated from him for so long. Now she saw him and couldn't say private words together. After all, she felt a little reluctant, so she let Ma Mingfeng hold her hand, feel the warmth of those big hands, and return home together.
In recent years, in order to be a qualified wife, Li Xiangjun tried to learn how to cook many dishes herself, but she didn't know how Ma Mingfeng tasted, so she simply made a few dishes from each dish, and then served these dishes together with the help of Kou Baimen.
In this way, the dishes on Ma Mingfeng's wine table were rich. Gu Jiang and Guizhuang only drank wine for a while, so how could they encounter so many good dishes? Suddenly, their eyes shone. At this time, they didn't even care about learning, picked up their chopsticks and ate the wind and the wind blew the clouds.
When he had almost finished his meal, Gu Jiang talked about his knowledge. He first started with his own failure in the imperial examination and criticized the current imperial examination system, saying that the current imperial examination system has violated the original intention of selecting talents, and most of the selected fools who only know how to study hard and study hard are not conducive to saving the times and saving the world.
Ma Mingfeng shook his head and said, "Although Brother Gu has some truths, he is also biased. Although many scholars who have not passed the imperial examination also have many talents, many of the talents selected by the imperial examination are real talents. Of course, I cannot deny that there are indeed many villains who are keen on the battlefield, but there are no scum? We can't stop farming just because we hear the croaking of mole crickets, right? So I think the imperial examination itself is still correct. After all, this is an extremely important way for the rise of civilians. However, simply taking the Four Books and Five Classics and simple eight-legged essays is indeed biased. I think it is better to restore the multiple subject exams in the Tang Dynasty."
When Gu Jiang heard this, he thought it made sense, so he nodded in agreement. However, after drinking a glass of wine, he said, "I still agree with most of the contents of the Four Books and Five Classics, but I dare not agree with some contents, such as the Three Bonds, is it necessary that the monarch, father and husband be right? They are not wrong? Why did they make mistakes, ministers, sons and wives have to obey unconditionally? If Dayu still acted like his father Gun when controlling the flood.
, where would there be successful water control? If King Wu of Zhou had always adhered to the rule of the king and was not afraid to resist, how could there be a 800-year-old country in the Great Zhou? If Emperor Gaozu of Han listened to his father's advice to do the so-called righteous affairs, how could there be a 400-year-old Han family? If Le Yangzi's wife just obeyed her husband, how could there be Le Yangzi's reputation in history? Just like the emperor today, if he was not a student saying something drunk, our emperor was really a bit unsuccessful to be a son..."
At this time, Gui Zhuang, who was beside him, looked pale and quickly took Gu Jiang's arm and said, "Brother Gu, you are drunk, so let's go back with me."
However, Gu Jiang said stubbornly: "I'm not drunk. I know why you stopped me, but this has been in my stomach for many years. I think only to Lord Ma can say, hey, although Zi looks very wise today, he depends on his impulse to do things and never cares about the consequences. When he is good to you, he wishes that the whole world will be given to you. Once you turn against me, you will not be able to stand a place. Although my Ming Dynasty was repeatedly destroyed by the Qing people and the bandits, there were also many loyal ministers and generals.
What are the consequences of them? Let’s talk about other things, just talk about the past few years. Shangshu Lu was killed because of his distrust and the military supervisor. Shangshu Fu was killed because of his escape from his generals. However, the generals under Shangshu Fu still lived freely and freely. There were Governor Wang, Supervisor Sun, not to mention the previous Grand Tutor Sun, Supervisor Yuan and others. Shangshu Chen of the Ministry of War even took the blame for him. Who can be loyal to him for such an emperor? How can a emperor like this protect my Ming Dynasty?"
Ma Mingfeng looked at Gu Jiang, sighed for a long time, and then said, "So Brother Gu, do you think you only need to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, not to the emperor?"
Gu Jiang stared at Ma Mingfeng with his eyes and said slowly: "Although Gu is not as clear as the master said, but what he thought in his heart is indeed the case. We only need to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, not to be loyal to the emperor, especially when the emperor's actions are not in line with the interests of the Ming Dynasty, we do not have to be loyal to him."
"Well, then when my Ming Dynasty is on the rise and fall, both emperors, generals, or ordinary people have the responsibility to stand up."
"Yes, sir, you're right. This is what Gu thought. sir, he is simply Gu's best confidant in his life."
"Brother Gu's meaning, I can help you make a summary. It can be said that in eight words, "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world."
