C30 I Cheated Two of My Apprentices
two evil spirits boasted about the Europa, while Old Han Lin angrily smashed the Blossom House. Such an interesting story only took one night's worth of effort to spread across the entire Beijing. There were no secrets that could hide from the Evil Emperor of the Northern Capital City, not to mention that such a dramatic story was even more captivating.
"Masters, are you all drinking here? "Aiya, it's Master Gao. Good morning, you're so lucky …" "Have you heard? Last night, Hanlin House Wong Lao-Han Lin used his treasured saber to destroy Alone overseas in Blossom House …
"Aiyo, that Han Lin is so strong? Could it be Wang Shizheng... Aiya, if it was him, then it would be hard to avoid, whoever in Capital mentioned Wong Lao-Han Lin would not be allowed to pick on Big Thumb Bro … "Have you heard that when Old Han Lin sees Kaiser, he always returns a gift back to his seat …"
"Tell me, can this Alone overseasanggang still continue writing after Old Han Lin's argument? "During this period of time, I've watched 'The Journey to the West' four or five times. Even if it's just a mythical act, I'm still thinking about the rest of the story …"
"Forget it, don't even think about it. Old Han Lin has commented on it. This book can be considered to have hit the jackpot." "It was said that Old Han Lin had spoken. If anyone on book reader dares to read this book, they have to learn from him until he loses his official position …"
"Tsk tsk tsk, this book is really good enough. What a pity …" "Aiyo, I forgot about one thing. I heard Alone overseas said last night that she created a flying ball in the sky and a ship made from pure Steel. She could even go underwater …"
"Yes!" Not only that, there were even the thousand mile sound transmission magic treasures and the machine guns that could fire tens of thousands of bullets in an instant … "Aiyah, you really can live for nothing …"
Just as the teahouses grandpa was drinking and chatting, a cold snort came from the table behind them. "A bunch of countryside savages …"
grandpa, who was happily chatting, immediately stopped chatting. "Aiyo?" Who was the one who picked up on this? Come out and let me train … Aiyo, look at my blind eyes, I should have taken them off, isn't that Master Liu! You're lucky, you're going to get on my fragrant tea, this is a proper Da Hong Pao! "
The few men who were just about to get angry turned around and their faces immediately changed. At that moment, one of them kneeled down and took out some good tea from his bosom.
It turned out that Flag Man's tea shop at that time was the same as some people's smoking habits in the future generations. If he went to the teahouse and all the old buddies met, then there would be no need to be polite and no need to dress up. However, they were all carrying tea leaves in their arms. If they really met adults, they had to quickly change the tea leaves.
In Xiao Letian's previous life, there were also many smokers who kept two boxes of cigarettes, one box for 4 or 5 yuan each, and another box for 20 or 30 yuan each.
The person who was honored as Master Liu was not an ordinary person, but was Prince Kungyi? Home Housekeeper's sixth wife's brother! This relationship seemed to be a bit complicated, but the moment he said it, he understood. Prince Kungyi? The younger brother of Housekeeper, the sixth son of concubinage, was none other than this Master Liu. Now, under the care of his brother-in-law, he was in charge of purchasing vegetables in the Prince Mansion.
"Seeing that you guys are all rather respectful, let me tell you all the truth." Don't look at how fierce Wang Hanlin and the others were, they were all corrupt scholars that didn't understand the economy. What they said were all lies. This Alone overseasanggang was the one who was truly capable. My family Prince has been up all night, what do you know? "It's just that I've watched The Journey to the West and drank strong tea throughout the entire night …"
"Actually, I also don't believe that the earth is a ball, but I heard from Prince that the ocean people can go back to their starting point by sailing in the same direction. Xiao Letian didn't lie about this at all. As for the other things in the book, I'm guessing that at least 80% of them are real … "
"Aiya!" The teahouse immediately became excited, Master Liu was very proud of this feeling of being the center of attention, so he unknowingly added a few more sentences, "Actually, what do those corrupt scholars know? The real power holding power in our Daqing, adults, has long believed what the foreigners said, it's just that they don't say it on the surface. "Even our Empress Mother and Emperor are reading this book …"
With a boom, the teahouse completely exploded. No wonder there were no secrets in the Beijing, just based on grandpa's quick mouth, Herba Euphorbiae would probably know what he ate in the morning by noon.
Although the Beijing and the rest of the Wu Steel were quick to speak, what they were talking about was the reality of the current state of affairs in the Daqing. Not counting the illiterate Popular, the educated book reader was now divided into two factions.
The first batch was made by corrupt scholars like Wang Hanlin. They didn't want to let go of Sage's classics and didn't even believe that the earth is round. This kind of people filled every county and province of Qing Dynasty. Basically, all of the low level literati were in this camp.
The other group was the powerful ones. For example, Liu Shuangyi, who represented the Daqing, and Ceng Guofan, Brothers, whose prestige was at its peak, were also people who had seen how powerful the Westerners were. Although these sects had a small number of people, they still held the authority of the entire Dynasty at the top, so they could still accept the western way of thinking.
However, for the sake of the stability of the Country, due to political considerations, these upper echelons of power had already accepted the knowledge of the West, but they still adopted the ostrich policy and pretended that the problem did not exist. They did not deny it and pretended to be confused. In any case, he was still the head of the annual Imperial Examinations.
"An ancient Empire, because his body is unusually huge, any changes are earth-shattering. "Brothers, I only wrote such an incomplete essay, yet I was attacked by a group of corrupt scholars. Do you think it's possible for Top to fully implement Western education?"
In the backyard of the Fan Mansion, Xiao Letian had set up a table for a private banquet for Luo Hao and Wen Xiu. Xiao Letian could tell from the conflict last night that the two of them could really accept his thoughts, and the rest of the people were like fence-sitters.
"Mr. Xiao said it well. If the Empire were to go through some changes and push the students to the west with all their might, then these scholars who had lost their jobs would immediately go on a rampage. Back then, the most fundamental reason was because Hong Xiuquan was hopeless in the Imperial examinations. "If I had fought a few more battles in Guangxi that year, I'm afraid that my Chinese poplar would not have been in such a mess …" Luo Hao somewhat idealistic, although able to accept new things but still like to think about things in the simple good.
But it was different for Wen Xiu, the Military Intelligence Service Zhang Jing. Every day, he would read daoyin's memoirs, and would feel the scheming and wrangling at the bottom level. In his eyes, the Daqing was not as beautiful as it seemed.
"Brother Luo, are you being too idealistic? How could this be possible? book reader, who had a wide range of interests in Empire, could be found anywhere. How could Guangdong add Enke in Guangxi, Henan, Jiangzhe and Jiajia? If all the states and counties have been cleared, then book reader will smile, but you want the court to go there and change into so many official positions? "
The two young men looked at each other and shook their heads. Although they noticed the problem, they didn't have the ability to solve it. In the end, the two of them stood up and bowed to Xiao Letian.
"mister, please dispel our doubts. From today onwards, we are willing to be disciples of mister. We are willing to run away for mister and do our best to study radio and study …" After which, he bowed deeply.
Xiao Letian still looked nervous, but he was laughing in his heart. Confucius's three thousand disciples have flourished in Confucianism, and now that the human Technology has developed to its current state, can't I develop to thirty thousand disciples? Hahaha, thirty thousand disciples running here in Empire means that I have a plan.
"Ha ha!" Xiao Letian sneered: "It won't be that easy to be my disciple. "You've all seen what happened last night. If the Western Scholars were to attack you unimaginably, they would go so far as to join the faction and start a civil war for the sake of their family's wealth. When that time comes, don't even mention studying to the Western Scholars, even saving their lives would be a different story …"
"Why don't I keep the braid? Why would I want to write such a childish "Journey to the West"? "I'm just protecting myself because I'm dirty. With two evil spirits's protection, I might be able to live for two more years …"
After Xiao Letian said that, he actually squeezed out two tears with a sad expression. It looked like someone was really trying to harm him. However, he cursed in his heart. This Xiao Hexin was such a waste. How much chili sauce had he applied to my handkerchief? My eyes were almost going blind.
The two drops of tears fell and both Luo Hao and Wen Xiu were stunned. Their eyes reddened as they immediately fell to the ground, "I never thought that Master would be able to endure to such an extent. In order to spread the knowledge of western studies, for the sake of the wealth of Daqing, he actually defiled himself to such an extent … mister is impressed by his disciple, please accept us … " And then he actually kneeled down.
The ancient literati of China valued kowtow very much. If they could perform such a large ceremony, there was no way to reverse the decision. Xiao Letian was overjoyed, but he still had to pretend.
"Both of you get up first. If you want to be my students, I still need to test you." Here is the latest chapter of The Journey to the West . Take a look at it and then copy ten copies each.
When Luo Hao and Wen Xiu heard that the latest chapter had been written, they scratched their hearts. They quickly took it and read it in ten lines. When they finished reading the chapter that was more than six thousand words, tears actually filled their eyes.
"How can this be? Could this be true? The 500 year old ancient Empire, the so-called Golden Kingdom of Inca was destroyed just like that? " Luo Hao was stuck in the story and his hands even started to tremble slightly.
As for Wen Xiu, she restlessly paced back and forth in the rear flower garden. When she was agitated, she raised her head and drank a cup of fine wine.
Xiao Letian was not surprised at all by their behavior. The latest chapter he wrote was for the people in power in Empire to see. If he did not let them know how cruel this world was, they would not value this western study of Laozi's.
"Finished?" Xiao Letian said coldly, "After you finish reading, go copy it. Turn your grievances into pen and ink, go work overtime tonight, the more you write, the better. Tomorrow, I will post it all over the Northern Capital City.
"mister!" Are you not going to print the book? "
"Yes!" You did not guess wrong. From today onwards, this book will use this method to write a chapter that will be posted throughout the entire city, so that all book reader can copy it. "I want all of the children of the Humble Class to learn …"
Luo Hao and Wen Xiu were completely conquered by Xiao Letian's magnanimity. They never thought that a wanderer who came back from overseas with no roots would have such an open mind to the Home Country. In order to let even the children of the Humble Class read books, he wanted to spread it for free. The two deeply bowed, then carried the strange text into the study as if they were holding their lives.
In the corner of the garden, Xiao Hexin, Wang Huaiyuan, and Sima Yun were all stunned. They all said in a low voice, "Good boy, those two should be at least fifth rank high officials, right? Military Advisor had turned him into a laborer just like that? Was that a ceremony to acknowledge you as my teacher? "
"Nonsense, our Military Advisor is like a man of heaven, isn't it simple to subdue these two little Purging Demons …" I say, can you two stop peeking? Didn't Military Advisor send the two of you to Wang Shizheng's home to gather information?
"Aiya, are you still worried that I'll attack you? That old corpse actually had a 15-year-old concubinage. How shameless. "Tell me, why didn't Military Advisor let me do it? I really want to kill this old bastard with a knife last night …"
"Shut up, we'll follow Military Advisor's arrangements …"
