Chapter 2233: Teaching by words and deeds, when will the dream come true (please guarantee at the end of the month)
ticket)
Ge Fei's first lesson on Yinxiang Peak was about "arrogance" and "nervousness".
Gao Zheng believes that these are the two first problems that need to be solved when the mountain and sea monsters come to the world.
But looking back many years later, Ge Fei believes that the most important thing he learned in that lesson was "forbearance".
"Let go of your arrogance" and "keep calm" are words, and the word "tolerance" is a lesson.
The true legitimate son of the Ge family became a disciple of Gao Zheng at the age of five and studied with him for seventeen years. From a child who was not as tall as a broom, he grew up to be the pride of the Yue Kingdom.
Later, the skin was stolen, and the mountain and sea monster that occupied the skin went to Hidden Phase Peak to try to control Gao Zheng.
However, Gao Zheng chose to accept this apprentice and accept everything that had happened.
At that time, Ge Fei didn't know much about what "master and apprentice" meant. It wasn't until his identity as a direct descendant opened all tangible and intangible doors for him; until everyone he came into contact with repeatedly reminded him of what he had received.
A rich political legacy. Only then did he understand that the so-called "robe" refers to the ability to eat, and "clothes" refers to the dignity of a human being.
From master to apprentice, Gao Zheng gives you a lifetime of accumulation.
From this, Ge Fei became more and more able to understand the word "endurance".
Tolerance serves the country.
When Gao Zheng was alive, Jiang Wang came to Yinxiang Peak. At that time, he was so angry that he wanted to tear open his skin immediately and teach Jiang Wang an unforgettable lesson. Only under Gao Zheng's suppression did he agree to hibernate.
Later, Gao Zheng died and Jiang Wang came to Yinxiang Peak again. When he was pretending to be stupid and when he didn't need to, he chose to endure it.
Wen Jingxiu praised him for growing up.
But he suddenly realized that he had developed a kind of dependence on Gao Zheng. A kind of dependence of children on their parents.
Although he was born in the mountain and sea realm created by Huang Weizhen, he has never really come into contact with Huang Weizhen. Like many people in the world, he has only heard the legend of Huang Weizhen. He is a lonely beast in the mountain and sea realm.
In the cruel competition, he climbed to the top of mountains and seas step by step, and no one ever really taught him anything.
Roaring angrily and almost losing control in front of Gao Zheng, shouting about going on a killing spree, was actually a way of expressing his emotions under the supervision of his parents. When the teacher died and the parents were gone, he had to face the wind and rain alone before he picked up those students.
past things.
On the embankment of the Qiantang River, Gao Zheng's silence when the tide came was the last lesson he heard.
Although he is a monster in the mountains and seas who has come to reality, he is not a being without wisdom. In the mountains and seas, he subdues all kinds of beasts, defeats all competitors, and finally wants to destroy Huang Wei's life... it is not something that can be done without brains.
It was only after leaving the realm of mountains and seas that I experienced a lot of ignorance and had difficulty controlling my animal nature, so I was unable to restrain my brutal instincts and lost control from time to time.
He has just begun to learn to be a human being, but the human world is far more treacherous than the mountains and seas.
For example, at first he couldn't understand that Wen Jingxiu's goal was to strengthen the country, but his method was to weaken himself. Before the Chu State could do anything, he killed all the nobles and old heroes of his country.
Later, he gradually understood that this might be the process of cutting out the tumor and removing the sore. The reason for bleeding now was to survive in the future.
Only those who are clear-sighted and know how to make choices can survive the disaster by handing over their power in advance and disbanding the interest network that has been woven for many years. This can be regarded as self-healing of sores. Once cured, there is no need to dig them out.
For example, the Zheng family, who is also in Amancheng, has held the position of the city lord of Amancheng for generations. The Zheng family's children have filled the city lord's palace, not giving any outsiders a chance to breathe. Even the pet dog in Mrs. Zheng's arms is an official hunting dog.
, enjoying the support of the state. In Yancheng, there is a saying of "Ten Officials and Seven Zhengs", which is far more powerful than the Li family who followed the military route.
But when the storm came, the head of the Zheng family immediately resigned as the city lord, and before resigning, he fired all the Zheng family's children who were serving in government affairs. He did not engage in the trick of removing Wucunjing at all, and did not argue with the court about who was qualified.
Even if it is excellent, just clear everything, lie down and start all over again.
There were almost no deaths in the Zheng family.
The few deceased persons were killed by the head of the Zheng family himself. He read out the charges and spelled out the punishments, which greatly pleased people's hearts. After so many years of "Ten Officials and Seven Zhengs", the people of Yancheng still remember the Zheng family.
On the opposite side, the Li family couldn't see the situation clearly. Thinking that the Zheng family had lost power, they decisively extended their tentacles and wanted to be seized by the military and government... In the end, no one in the main line was left.
Nowadays, in Kuaiji City, no one is honored. In the past, they often talked about "bloodline" and "history", but now everyone wants to disassociate themselves from each other and say that they have been born in vain for three generations.
The joys and sorrows are different from person to person.
The old aristocratic forces of the Yue Kingdom were wiped out overnight by extreme means, resulting in a huge power void, which was also a huge opportunity.
Official examinations were launched in all counties and cities throughout the Yue Kingdom. All examiners were officials from civilian backgrounds. For today, the emperor had already reserved a large number of talents.
In the past, the nobles controlled the government, and it was difficult for common people to be promoted. The emperor loved talents, so he built a Hanlin Academy to support the children of poor families who he liked but could not be promoted.
The daily work of these people is to write articles, read books, compile history and debate. They only have a false name, but no real power. The nobles are also happy to leave a good reputation for respecting the virtuous.
Now all these people have been released to fill the government and the public, occupying the key positions that have been vacant, and fully cooperating with the new policy promoted by the Yue court - they are so key and so noble, so the world calls them "Qing Hanlin".
Once the ascending channel is opened, the waves will surge instantly and the stagnant water will turn into living water.
Children from poor families rushed to tell each other, full of ambition.
In this turbulent season, everything is happening and everything is happening.
People at that time might say: Step on the bones of the prince and climb the ladder of blue clouds!
Of course, political reform is not such a simple matter. It does not mean that His Majesty the Emperor can change the situation immediately with a sudden thought, a thought, or a slap on the thigh.
Ge Fei saw that the new policies of the Yue State were as overwhelming as the cliffs and waterfalls. This was the result of Gao Zheng's layout many years ago. After sowing in the spring for many years, the harvest will be harvested this autumn.
At that time, Gao Zheng used the power of promoting the Fallen Immortal Covenant to launch a comprehensive civil service reform in the Yue Kingdom, demanding "fair selection of officials, equal power between high and low". No one in the court dared to openly oppose it, but in the end, it was not implemented smoothly and was hindered by
The major cities under the Yue court were not difficult to destroy with high-level political methods from top to bottom - but at this time, he was forced to step down. The official reform was naturally abandoned, the political platform was suspended, and the official cultivation collapsed.
After that, he lived in seclusion and did not care about the affairs of the government.
Many years have passed, and many of Gao Zheng's political ideas, including official reform, have never been mentioned again. Both the government and the public respect him, and the nobles obey him. However, in the face of huge real interests, many people still prefer that he remains a "hidden prime minister".
", it's best to "just hide it without revealing it".
Ge Fei also listened to Gao Zheng talk about the past many times, but the teacher never seemed to feel regret or regret. He just calmly summarized what he had done in the past, what he had accomplished and what he had not accomplished. There were no waves, only order, as if
Tell another person's story.
During the period after Gao Zheng's death, Ge Fei lived alone in a small courtyard deep in the mountains, recalling one by one the current situation of the Yue Kingdom. Only then did Ge Fei slowly understand those past events and sort out the context, one by one.
As if in front of you.
When Yin Xiangfeng also disappeared into Gao Qiu, he seemed to have finished reading Gao Zheng's life.
He decided to go down the mountain.
Sow in spring and harvest in autumn. Summer is long and winter is hidden. Now is the time to go down the mountain.
The Yue court has not made any public statement about Ge Fei's existence so far, which also makes him a relatively ambiguous existence in the current situation of the Yue state.
He was Ge Fei. When he came down from the mountain, of course he had to go home first.
The Ge family is the oldest family in Yue, with a history older than that of the country of Yue. The first thing Yue Taizu did before launching a coup was to seek the support of the Ge family.
Such a family has been prosperous for generations. It can truly be called a famous family, and its heritage is unfathomable. Of course, this is only a matter of the past. Now people can clearly see their underwear.
Ge Fei felt that the father of this body, the patriarch named "Ge Yu", was really stupid.
Sending his son to Gao Zheng as his apprentice, doesn't this mean exposing his innermost feelings to Gao Zheng? Why are these people not aware of the danger at all, and even when they are about to die, they don't know that they are the chronic disease that Gao Zheng wants to solve?
Is the teacher pretending to be too good and cunning, or is the father too stupid?
For Ge Fei, this is not a dilemma. The two are not contradictory and can occur at the same time.
Ge's old residence is in Fuji. This city is famous for its flowers, birds, fish and insects, and the people are fond of gambling.
Ge Fei stepped into the city gate with his front foot, and the whole city was boiling with his back foot.
People kept saluting along the way, and they all bowed from a distance to show their sincerity and never came close to disturb them.
This enthusiasm reaches its peak after entering the mansion.
"Master, you are back!"
"Master, my servant is going to make tea for you, or is it your favorite Dong Yemei?"
"Master Fei is back!"
Ge Fei walked in without any emotion, just nodding lightly along the way.
He also caught such funny whispers——
"Great, Master, come down the mountain, now no one dares to touch us!"
Human beings are really too complex creatures. The powerful abyss is as deep as the universe, and the weak and humble are as dust. Some people are wise and far-reaching and can plan thousands of miles, while others are so stupid and shallow that they are simply ridiculous.
How to define it?
Ge Fei walked all the way inside and saw his father in this body.
It is not polite for a father to welcome his son, but as a real person of the Ge family who has been eliminated for so many years, and as a strong supporter of the Ge family's legacy for the next thousand years, it is very reasonable for the head of the Ge family to come out to greet him.
Ge Fei remembered his teacher's teaching that people should observe etiquette.
So he bowed deeply to Ge Yu, the leader of the Ge clan in front of him: "My son has seen his father. Father, you have lost weight."
Ge Yu was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say. He just said: "Okay, okay. My son is interested."
"It's windy outside, shall we go to the study to talk?" Ge Fei asked filially.
Ge Yu, who was sixty-one years old this year, turned around and walked in: "Okay, come with me."
The current patriarch of the Ge family and the future patriarch of the Ge family just dismissed all the servants and walked into the study alone. As soon as the door was closed, the hustle and bustle subsided. The excitement just now seemed to be something from another world.
"The layout of this study is different." Ge Fei looked around and said suddenly.
Ge Yu sat down behind the desk with a very straight posture: "What's the difference?"
"It's very similar to Bai Pingfu's study." Ge Fei said, "It's almost the same."
The Ge clan leader's eyes were very deep, like two caves, and there were indeed insects living in them. He raised the corner of his mouth and said, "That's great, you still remember."
The ancient art of controlling insects naturally has merits, but there has never been a breakthrough in the Ge family and it has lagged behind the times. Ge Fei was originally from the mountain and sea realm where Dong Zhen's vision left him, and he had studied with Gao Zheng for so long, and he had long looked down on his original form.
The so-called 'family history' he learned. He said casually: "I am deeply impressed by Zhang Linchuan. He is the first loss I have ever suffered."
Bai Pingfu was indeed not worth mentioning, but the process of Zhang Linchuan killing Bai Pingfu was an art, and he appreciated it carefully.
"Where is Yi Shengfeng?" Ge Yu's tone was also very emotional: "The one in South Dou Hall."
"He just ran faster. If we really want to count it, it can only be counted as half -" Ge Fei said casually, and felt something was wrong: "Why do you think Yi Shengfeng caused me trouble?"
Ge Yu didn't answer and asked instead: "Do you know why I decorate the study room the same as Bai Pingfu's?"
In the realm of mountains and seas, weak people are not even qualified to cry, let alone speak at length. Ge Fei's patience is running out: "Just talk."
Ge Yu did not feel dissatisfied and said to himself: "There is nothing new in history. Similar things will always happen again and again. I have been fighting with brother Pingfu for half my life, and I know that I will be like him."
This was quite interesting. Ge Fei said without emotion: "Why do you say that?"
There was an open book on the desk. It was a very thick book and the pages were a bit worn. Ge Yu closed it with a dull sound. On the cover was written... "Book of Chu·Juan Jiu".
The head of the famous Ge family in the Yue Kingdom was reading the history of the Chu Kingdom. He often read it.
The head of an ancient and famous family in the Yue Kingdom looked at his nominal son and said in a very calm tone: "You came down from the mountain this time to kill me, right?"
Ge Fei looked back without concealing it. Looking at the person in front of him, he suddenly felt that this person was different from the stupid image he knew. He couldn't help but ask: "When did you find out?
"
Ge Yu said: "From the first day you came back, I knew you were not him. That is my son. I raised him since he was a child. There are so many differences between you."
Gao Zheng once said that human beings are very good at self-deception. Ge Fei's family did not dare to face the truth, so they did not discover Ge Fei's problem. But now Ge Yu has given a different answer.
People are such interesting creatures!
Ge Fei finally pulled out the chair opposite the desk and sat down. His sitting posture was also very upright and polite: "But you still admit it. I am very curious about what human emotions are. I have read a lot in the past few years.
Books, many books say that feelings are very important, but from my real-life experience, it doesn’t seem to be important—is it important?”
Ge Yu did not answer directly, because he had no obligation to educate this mountain and sea monster. He just continued his expression: "You are not my son, but you are indeed a disaster beast, causing disaster wherever you go. It is said that you are a true
It's not an exaggeration to say '蜚'. I, the Ge family, have been seeking disaster beasts for generations, and when I meet you, it can be regarded as seeking kindness and getting kindness."
"So that's it!" Ge Fei said with a smile on his face: "You found out that I am not your son, but you pretended not to know. You deliberately paralyzed me and wanted to train me as a real Fei beast so as to renew Ge's secret method. Please
Get a new real person and win a future for the Ge family - why did you give up this idea later? Because of my teacher?"
Ge Yu's eyes were astonished. He was surprised by the intelligence of this mountain and sea monster, and even more surprised by Gao Zheng's teachings. Gao Zheng seemed to really regard this mountain and sea monster as his personal descendant and devoted so much effort to it.
This discovery saddened him.
He said: "It is the unfairness of the system, the inaction of those in power, and the selfishness of everyone from top to bottom that has led to what is happening today... Standing in this tower of greed, every level is
They suck the blood from below and stand at the top, but they regard the so-called powerful people in the middle as cancer. Of course, it is not an exaggeration to say that these powerful people in the Yue Kingdom are cancerous tumors today, but the Yue Kingdom was built from scratch.
The reason why the powerful became powerful was that they initially built this country with enthusiasm."
He asked: "Have they changed? Have we changed? Or has the soil changed or the country changed? Ge Fei, you said you have been studying in the past few years, do you have an answer for your father?"
Ge Fei carefully recalled what Gao Zheng had said. He regarded it as a precious treasure of memory and food for the monsters to survive the winter.
He said: "Strong medicines are used to treat serious illnesses. If the teacher had been given more time and more freedom, if he had not been forced to leave the field back then, there would be no need to be so rude today. All this should have been done peacefully, but now there is no time, teacher
He’s no longer here either.”
"Let me tell you this -" he looked at Ge Yu: "Senior Brother Wen's method is indeed a bit rough. If it were a teacher, it wouldn't be like this."
"So that's how it is..." Ge Yu nodded: "If such a dark murder is a plan left behind by the prime minister, I will feel that there is no hope in all this. When you say this, I feel relieved as a father."
"Don't worry?" Ge Fei raised his eyes, not quite understanding.
He is becoming more and more like a human being, but he also has more and more misunderstandings about human beings.
"Come on!" Ge Yu still didn't answer because he harbored hatred and refused to teach his enemies. But he didn't choose to fight. He just sat upright on the chair, opened his arms, and said calmly: "
It is most appropriate for Gao Zheng's disciple, my son, to personally remove the cancer that is growing in the heart of the empire."
Ge Fei... was a little at a loss.
He fought his way out step by step in the competition between countless strange beasts in the mountains and seas. He knows best what to do in order to survive.
But for someone as smart as Gao Zheng, it seems that he has never thought about seeking a living.
The physical ‘father’ in front of me, the stumbling block before the New Deal, the rot in this country... actually died calmly.
Why?
Ge Fei wanted to ask this question, and he did make a sound.
But Ge Yu didn't answer, just closed his eyes.
——I hope it's all worth it.
