Now that he was determined to help Liu Xian, Gao Pragmatic did not hesitate. He immediately said with emotion: "The Master said: 'A politician is upright. If his body is upright, he will not act according to orders; if he is not upright, he will act despite orders.
"I don't agree." I thought that after Xu Pengju was the king of Zhongshan, he should know how to serve as an official and a general, but who would have expected that it would be so absurd."
As he spoke, Gao pragmatically looked at Liu Xian secretly, and when he saw him nodding his head, he asked, "Can General Liu defend himself in this matter?"
Liu Xian looked annoyed: "Yes, why not? But it's useless. He is a distinguished garrison minister in Nanjing, and his words are a hundred times more effective than mine. Hey, how can the golden name of Wei Guogong be compared to the likes of us?"
Gao pragmatic sighed and said: "He is the official who has a salary and position, but I can't fight."
"Ah?" Liu Xian was a little embarrassed: "Mr. Gao, what should we interpret this statement?"
Only then did Gao pragmatic remember that he was talking to Liu Xian, a military general who didn't study much, instead of talking to knowledgeable civil servants like Gao Gong and Zhang Siwei. He said with emotion, if the other party was Gao Gong or Zhang Siwei's level,
Of course, there is no need to explain at all. They knew what they wanted to express as soon as they opened their mouths. However, the other party was Liu Xian, and when he said this, it seemed a bit deliberately embarrassing.
But after he had said it, the other party didn't understand and asked for advice. If he didn't explain it, he would be even more arrogant. So Gao pragmatically showed an apologetic smile and explained: ""Zuo Zhuan: The Second Year of Min Gong" records: Winter in December
, the Di people attacked the Wei. Wei Yigong liked cranes, and cranes had people who could ride on the pavilion. When the battle was about to begin, the people of the country who received armor all said: 'Send crane, he actually has a position of honor, how can I fight!' It was originally said that Wei Yigong valued cranes.
As for underestimating people, it is later used as a metaphor for not paying attention to talents, and those who have talents are not allowed to use them, or those who are in high positions are not allowed to use them."
"I see." Only then did Liu Xian realize that the words Gao Jingshi had just quoted were a tactful praise for himself and a tactful criticism of Xu Pengju, but in the end he just sighed and said nothing more.
Seeing that the heat was almost over, Gao pragmatic glanced at Liu Wei deliberately, and then smiled and said: "I think General Liu is extraordinary in bravery, and your son is also like a tiger. If he cannot be reused due to such a trap, it is actually a lost pillar of the country.
Your Majesty lost his arm. I would like to write a letter for the general and send it to my third uncle, explaining the reasons and circumstances in detail. I wonder what General Liu thinks?"
Liu Xian was overjoyed when he heard this. He cupped his fists as a salute and said, "If Mr. Gao can speak out for justice, Mr. Zhongxuan will know that Liu has been wronged, and it will not be long before the injustice is redressed! However, Mr. Gao is so righteous this time, and Liu is a martial artist. In fact,
Don’t know how to repay me?”
Gao pragmatic smiled and waved his hand and said: "General Liu's words are serious, it's just a little effort, how can I repay you." Then he paused for a moment and then said: "But there is not even a pen and paper here, it is not a place to repair books... I'm here, kid."
, I originally wanted to go to the Cherry Spring Villa given to me by my uncle to study. All these things are available there, but I wonder if General Liu can go with us?"
"Convenient, of course convenient." Liu Xian said hurriedly, but suddenly felt that it was too unreserved to say this, and quickly made up for it: "Well, it's just that there are more than 20 people in my group, so it would be too much to disturb Mr. Gao's retreat...
"
Gao Pingshi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. I heard that although my uncle's villa is not an exquisite garden, it is more spacious. I said that General Liu only had more than 20 people on his trip. Even if there were ten times more, that villa would be better."
It can be easily accommodated in a hospital.”
After hearing this, Liu Xian couldn't hold back his joy and thanked him repeatedly.
Liu Wei, who was standing next to him, was very happy to see his father happy. He looked like he was taking care of everything, and said to Gao Pingshi: "Mr. Gao, thank you very much for this. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, just tell me.
, I will help you beat him all over the place!"
Liu Xian felt a little headache when he heard this, and reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense, what is the identity of Mr. Gao, who dares to bully him?"
Liu Wei seemed to be quite afraid of his father. He didn't dare to say anything after being scolded. On the contrary, the little loli couldn't stand it and said: "What dad said makes no sense. Most people may not dare, but
You see, don’t these thieves dare to do this today? So I think what the elder brother said is not unreasonable at all. What if some blind fool offends Mr. Gao, what if Mr. Gao is not well-behaved... Brother
Anyway, he is a martial artist, and if his temper gets angry, wouldn't it be good to help Mr. Gao beat that guy up?"
Although the little Loli was young, she was obviously not afraid of her father, and what she said seemed to make sense. Liu Xian was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
Gao Pingshi laughed: "This... little girl is indeed right. Brother Zishou also has good intentions. General Liu should not be blamed."
Liu Xian said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, what Mr. Gao said is absolutely true, but Liu didn't think carefully."
Gao pragmatic glanced at the father and son, and thought to himself: Liu Xian seems to be really afraid of suffering from the disadvantages of civil servants, but my third uncle is the pinnacle of civil servants, and Liu Xian is asking for help from me, so he is like this
It's so embarrassing, the world's people are so sad...
In fact, he didn't feel that Liu Xian's performance was bad because he had worked as a secretary himself and knew the difficulties of being a subordinate. Acting like Liu Xian was the right choice for normal people - under this system
If you are a mess and don’t have the status or ability to change this system, you can only go along with it, otherwise the end will be ugly.
This is also an important reason why Gao Pragmatic chose to take the civil service route to "save the Ming Dynasty." If he had chosen the military general route, he would have faced too much resistance. I am afraid that he would have to rebel in the end to have a chance to change the entire Ming Dynasty society. But in that case
If you do this, firstly, life will be ruined and fellow citizens will kill each other, and secondly, there will be too many uncertain factors. People with a more stable personality like Gao Xiang and pragmatism will naturally refuse to make this choice subconsciously.
Now that things on Liu Xian's side have been settled, Gao Pragmatic made some excuses and went to the Zhang family guards to see the situation. After all, the Zhang family guards were sent by his uncle, and they can be regarded as his own family, although he just heard Liu Xian say
No one was killed, but there were injured, even seriously injured. The necessary comfort work was a highly pragmatic and must be done.
Although speaking of it, Gao Pragmatic is only an eight-year-old child. Even if he doesn't comfort him, people won't think there's anything wrong with it - Mr. Cousin is young and ignorant. Is it any wonder? Your child can do anything at the age of eight.
Are everything arranged properly?
But since high pragmatism requires raising hopes, naturally one has to behave unusually in any situation.
This extraordinary thing is not about competing with others to see who is more arrogant and domineering. The routine of "fighting cock and lackey is frivolous" is not what Gao Pragmatic intends to follow.
He wants a reputation, a good reputation, and preferably a good reputation that will help him implement reforms in the future.
Being kind and generous and caring for your subordinates is a kind of good reputation! What's more, doing this kind of work is not a new routine for Gao Pragmatic. He is very familiar with it and has a clear background!
