Gu Lin had always heard that the Imperial Master was good at slaying dragons, but now that he saw him, he realized that his reputation was well-deserved.

Countless smart people think about how to deal with the people at the bottom. Some think about exploitation, while others think about protection. Just like chess players playing chess, their attention is all on the chessboard, but few people think about things outside the chessboard. After all,

, we are all chess players and "people". People are different from dead things like chess pieces...

But Zhang Zhixiang is different.

In the eyes of this imperial master, he actually had the feeling that "all the heroes in the world have joined me." No, it was even more powerful than that. Zhang Zhi seemed to have drawn a circle, and no matter how the monkeys writhed, the circle followed.

If you make a mistake, the circle will be tightened around your forehead, forming a tight curse.

The methods of a saint...

“I knew that the Imperial Preceptor was visiting, but I didn’t ask where the Imperial Preceptor was going?”

Gu Lin was completely convinced and wanted to ask Zhang Zhixiang about his specific plans after leaving confinement. If there was anyone who could help, I would spare no effort.

"I walked around and looked around, but I didn't find a place yet."

"I will go to the capital later. After meeting His Majesty, I will travel around again, probably to Xiluozhou."

Hearing what Zhang Zhixiang said, Gu Lin was obviously stunned and couldn't help but ask: "The Imperial Preceptor and Your Majesty are promoting the longevity revolution. Now the dispute between the imperial court and Nanjing is becoming more and more intense. Shouldn't the Imperial Preceptor take charge of the overall situation and fight against Xu Jie?"

Zhang Zhixiang thought for a moment and said, "Well, Xu Jie is one person, and there are many of us."

"Everyone just does what they are good at."

"Your Majesty has done a great job. As for the ability to take charge of the overall situation, such as Han Xin's ability to order more troops, the better, I don't have it, and neither does your Majesty, but Zhang Juzheng does."

"Study with His Majesty, and in three to five years, Zhang Juzheng will be able to take a leading role."

When Gu Lin heard the word "Zhang Juzheng", her expression became a little complicated. He sighed and said, "Zhang Juzheng is known as a child prodigy. Li Shi'ao, the prefect of Jingzhou, often talks about this boy to me."

"His real name is Zhang Baigui, but Li Shi'ao changed the word 'Ju Zheng' for him."

"Li Shi'ao once informed me that Zhang Juzheng will take the provincial examination this year and hoped that I would not take the exam."

"But at the age of sixteen, when young people achieve great success, how many of them can keep their composure? It's better to study hard and work hard, so that they can be more useful in the future."

"If he takes the provincial examination in Huguang, I will definitely depose him and give him a hard time."

"But I don't want to have a capital university. Zhang Juzheng took the exam when he entered Beizhili."

"And your Majesty and the Imperial Preceptor..."

Gu Lin was thinking about grinding, but Zhang Zhixiang and Jiajing were afraid that Zhang Juzheng would not be smooth enough, so they directly arranged for Zhang Juzheng to win three yuan in a row, and even gave him the official position of servant. As Zhang Zhixiang said, three or five years later, Zhang Juzheng would be the first assistant!

Fifteen-year-old chief assistant?

Do you really want to learn from Gan Luo and worship the prime minister?

"Gu Futai, how old am I this year?" Zhang Zhixiang asked with a smile.

Gu Lin froze for a moment and said: "The national master is a saint descended from heaven, how can an ordinary person compare with him?"

Gu Lin truly felt that Zhang Zhixiang was at the level of a saint in terms of his civilized attainments and abilities. Not to mention that Zhang Zhixiang had such insight and knowledge and had also attained immortality in practice. He was among the best.

Therefore, it is normal for such a magical person to achieve such an achievement at the age of 17.

However, Zhang Zhixiang said: "I think I have lived two lives. At least as far as I can remember, there are two lives, which adds up to 33 years."

Gu Lin understood, but she just felt it was more reasonable.

As for the rumor that Zhang Zhixiang learned about it five hundred years later and gained five hundred years of experience before he could achieve this level of civilization, but if it is considered ordinary, then he is blind to Mount Tai.

Among all living beings, even if it is enough to give them a chance to live in five hundred years, how many of them can do what Zhang Zhixiang does?

"The Imperial Master is a real person who has the memory of the past life, so he can achieve this. But Zhang Juzheng is no more than an ordinary person. He is young and may not be able to hold a big position."

"Gu Futai knows that I have a past life, and it's not just Zhang Juzheng who doesn't know me?"

"He...too?"

"Not only does he have it, you also have it, almost everyone has it."

"What the Imperial Master means is..."

Zhang Zhixiang picked up a stone, pinched it gently, turned it into powder, let the dust flow from between his fingers, and said lightly: "There are always some strange people in the world, such as those with natural supernatural powers."

"Some people have supernatural powers, some have hearing, some have vision, some have photographic memory, and some have great energy."

"The so-called supernatural powers are all the results of previous lives of practice."

"It's not that you were born with good luck and have these abilities, but that you already have them, so you have such abilities."

"The same is true for things like sudden enlightenment."

"We often think that enlightenment is something we have accumulated in daily life. This is true. After all, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. If you don't have a foundation, you can't even get started, and you can't talk about enlightenment."

“But who has ever thought about where the ‘inspiration’ for epiphany comes from?”

"Pure miracle and chance?"

"Not really."

"Sudden enlightenment is essentially the result of the righteousness you have accumulated over many lives. You have been reincarnated over many lives and your karma has been washed away. However, the results of your karma have turned into seeds and been stored in the alaya consciousness. You cannot see past memories or past lives.

The results of your karma cannot be seen, nor can you see the results of your past practice.”

"But just because you can't see it, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist."

"The righteousness gained through years of practice is there. You have encountered and learned it in a daze, or maybe a stone from another mountain can be used to attack jade. The knowledge you have learned is connected, and suddenly without your knowledge,

Got it."

"This is the epiphany."

"The so-called sudden enlightenment is the gradual enlightenment that comes from practicing for many lives. The greatest gradual enlightenment is sudden enlightenment."

Zhang Zhixiang talked about his past and present lives, and gradually realized his enlightenment.

There was no analysis at all on whether Zhang Juzheng was worthy of the Great Sanyuan and whether he could become prime minister at the age of fifteen, but Gu Lin already knew Zhang Zhixiang's answer and was unable to refute it.

Zhang Zhixiang is saying that Zhang Juzheng has eternal righteousness.

If you grind, it will be a delay.

If you try your best to cultivate, he will give you enough feedback.

Therefore, thousand-mile horses often exist, but Bole does not always exist. If you feed a thousand-mile horse the food of an ordinary horse, it will not be able to run a thousand miles, because it has never been full...

"Although I still don't agree with it from an experience point of view, I am willing to believe in the wisdom of the national master."

"Since the Imperial Master wants to travel around, please allow me to show my kindness as a landlord while I'm in Wuchang Mansion."

In response, Zhang Zhixiang smiled and said: "Then I'll trouble Gu Futai."

…

Most of the Wang family's fields are in Huguang, or in other words, their branches are around Dongting Lake.

Not only because of the land of plenty, fertile land and large population, but also because Dongting Lake is a good place to train and hide troops, so the earliest navy of the Wang family was trained in Dongting Lake.

It wasn't that Wang Zhi suddenly got into trouble and wanted to challenge the Xu family, so he started to pull the water master out of thin air.

certainly.

Now that the Wang family has obtained maritime rights, the land in Huguang has also been the first to respond to the equalization of land and has been divided out early. However, Huguang belongs to the sphere of influence in Jiangnan, but the land in Huguang does not necessarily belong to private individuals.

Whether this thing is public or private depends on who is in charge.

The land you obtained by relying on the power of Nanjing will naturally belong to the private sector. If you can respond to the call of the court and complete the equalization of land and exempt from taxes, then the land can be returned to the public.

Huguang could have completed the return of the land to the public, but due to the intervention of Nanjing, it became a situation of divided courts.

No one can launch a large-scale attack. They can only lay down their weapons and attack each other from the aspects of system, ideology, management, etc. to distinguish themselves. It is this complex environment that requires a centrist like Gu Lin to take charge.

.

Row after row, I am among you, and you are among me.

The most direct comparison between the two systems will make people feel which one is real.

And the day when the winner is decided in Huguang, it will be the day when the situation collapses.

Since Zhang Zhixiang has come to Wuchang Prefecture, he naturally has to enter Dongting via the Han River and go down the Xiang River to see Juzizhou Head.

According to historical records, Juzhou was established in the second year of Yongxing (305), the second year of Emperor Hui of Jin Dynasty.

Originally there were four islands in Orange Island, but by the Ming and Qing Dynasties, they were combined into three islands.

The overall area is nearly 600 acres.

Therefore, there are also residential villages on the island, and many fishermen live here. The whole Orange Island runs from south to north, across the center of the river, with Yuelu Mountain in the west and Changsha City in the east. It is surrounded by water on all sides and stretches for more than ten miles.

40 meters wide, about 140 meters wide, and shaped like a long island.

Climb ashore on the island.

Wang Jiangque accompanied Zhang Zhixiang and looked at the scenery here. Although the scenery was acceptable, he did not notice anything strange and did not understand why Zhang Zhixiang was so obsessed with this place.

"There are two poems about Qinyuanchun. I like the one here better."

Today is March in the world, and there is no feeling of bleak autumn wind. While the grass is growing and the orioles are flying, Zhang Zhixiang feels inexplicably kind.
