Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 70
Now that he was determined to help Liu Xian, Gao Yushi did not hesitate, and immediately said with emotion: "The master said: 'A politician is upright. If his body is upright, he will do it without orders; if his body is not upright, even if he is ordered to No.' Considering that Xu Pengju is the queen of Zhongshan, he should know how to be an official and a general, but who would have thought it would be so absurd."

Gao Wushi looked at Liu Xian secretly as he spoke, and seeing that he was nodding repeatedly, he asked, "Is there any defense for General Liu on this matter?"

Liu Xian looked annoyed: "Yes, why not? But it's useless. He is a Nanjing garrison officer, and his words are a hundred times more effective than mine. Hey, Wei Guogong's gold-lettered signboard is not comparable to those of us."

Gao Wushi sighed and said, "As a crane, the crane really has a salary, so how can the rest be able to fight."

"Ah?" Liu Xian was a little embarrassed: "Young Master Gao, what do you mean by this statement?"

It was only then that Gao Yushi remembered that he was talking to Liu Xian, a military general who didn't read much, and not to Gao Gong and Zhang Siwei, who were full of knowledge and experience.With my own emotions, if the other party is at the level of Gao Gong and Zhang Siwei, then naturally there is no need to explain at all, they know what they want to express as soon as they speak.However, the other party was Liu Xian, so it seemed a little deliberately embarrassing for him to say so.

But having said that, the other party didn't understand and asked for advice, and if he didn't explain it, he would appear even more defiant, so Gao Wushi smiled apologetically and explained: "It is recorded in "Zuo Zhuan The Second Year of Min Gong": Winter December , the people of Di attacked Wei. Duke Yi of Wei loved cranes, and the cranes had those who rode on the porch. When he was going to fight, the people of the country who received armor all said: "To make the crane, the crane really has a position, and how can the rest be able to fight!" And look down on people, and later use the metaphor of "making a crane" to not pay attention to talents, and those who are capable cannot be used, or those who are in high positions are unworthy of people."

"I see." Only then did Liu Xian realize that the sentence Gao Yushi just quoted was a tactful compliment to himself and a tactful attack on Xu Pengju, but in the end he just sighed and didn't say much.

Gao Wushi saw that the fire was almost ready, so he deliberately glanced at Liu Chen, and then smiled and said: "I think General Liu is very brave, and your son is also like a tiger. If he is not reused because of such a trap, it will be a loss for the country. Your Majesty lost his arm. I would like to write a letter to my third uncle for the general, and explain the reasons and circumstances in detail. I wonder what General Liu thinks?"

Liu Xian was overjoyed when he heard the words, he clasped his fists together as a salute, and said: "If Mr. Gao speaks uprightly, Mr. Zhongxuan will know Liu's grievances, and it won't be long before he is redressed! However, Mr. Gao's righteousness this time, Mr. Liu is a martial artist. I don’t know how to report it?”

Gao Wushi waved his hands with a smile and said: "General Liu's words are serious, it's just a matter of raising your hands, how can you talk about repaying it." Then he paused for a while, and said: "But there is not even a pen and paper here, it is not a place for repairing books...Here comes the boy Originally, I was going to study in the Cherry Spring Courtyard donated by my uncle, and all these things are readily available there, but I don’t know if General Liu can go with him conveniently?”

"Convenient, naturally convenient." Liu Xian said hastily, and suddenly felt that it was too impertinent to say so, and quickly made up for it: "Uh, it's just that there are more than [-] people waiting for me, so it's too much to bother Mr. Gao's meditation... "

Gao Wushi smiled and said: "It's okay, I heard that although my uncle's other courtyard is not an exquisite garden, it is superior in size. It is said that General Liu's trip is only more than [-] people, and it will be ten times more. The courtyard can also easily accommodate it.”

After listening to Liu Xian, he couldn't contain his joy, and thanked him repeatedly.

Liu Ting next to him was very happy to see his father happy, and he looked like he was taking care of everything, and said to Gao Wushi: "Mr. , I will help you beat him all over the place!"

Liu Xian felt a little headache when he heard it, and reprimanded him: "Don't talk nonsense, what is the identity of Mr. Gao, who dares to bully him?"

Liu Ting seemed to be quite afraid of his father, and he didn't dare to make a sound after being scolded. On the contrary, the little loli couldn't stand it, and said: "Daddy's words are unreasonable. Ordinary people may not dare, but You see, don’t these thieves dare today? So I think what the eldest brother said is not unreasonable at all. In case some blind idiot offends Mr. Gao, it’s not easy to be self-restraining as Mr. Gao...Brother Anyway, he's a martial artist, and his temper has turned up, so it's good to help Mr. Gao beat up that fellow, isn't it?"

Although Xiao Luoli was young, she was obviously not afraid of her father, and what she said seemed to make sense, Liu Xian was at a loss for words when he heard it, and didn't know how to answer.

Gao Wushi laughed: "This... little girl is really right. Brother Zishou also has good intentions. General Liu will not be blamed."

Liu Xian hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, what Mr. Gao said is very true, but Liu has not thought carefully."

Gao Wushi glanced at their father and son, and thought: Liu Xian seems to be really afraid of suffering from civil servants, but my third uncle is the pinnacle of civil servants, and Liu Xian is asking for me now, so unexpectedly It's so embarrassing, the hearts of the world...

In fact, he didn't feel that Liu Xian's performance was unbearable because of this, because he had worked as a secretary in the past and knew the difficulties of being a subordinate. On the contrary, Liu Xian's performance was the correct choice for a normal person—under this system If you don't have the status and ability to change the system, you can only follow along, otherwise the end will be ugly.

This is also a very important reason why Gao Yushi chose to take the civil service path to "save the Ming".If he chooses the general route, he will face too much resistance. He may only have to rebel in the end, so that he will have the opportunity to change the entire Ming society.But if we do that, firstly, we will inevitably lose our lives, and our compatriots will kill each other, and secondly, there are too many uncertain factors.Such a more stable personality like high pragmatism naturally subconsciously refuses to make such a choice.

Now that the matter on Liu Xian's side has been settled, Gao Wushi pleaded guilty and went to Zhang's guard to check the situation.After all, the guards of the Zhang family were sent by the uncle, and they were considered as members of their own family. Although Liu Xian said that no one was killed, there were also wounded, even seriously wounded. The necessary comfort work must be done pragmatically.

Although speaking, Gao Yushi is only an eight-year-old child, even if he doesn't try to appease him, he won't think there is any problem——Master Biao is young and ignorant, what's so strange?Can your child arrange everything properly at the age of eight?
But since high pragmatism wants to be looked after, it is natural to behave extraordinary in any occasion.

This extraordinary is not about being more arrogant and domineering with others, and the routine of "fighting chickens and running dogs is frivolous" is not Gao Pragmatic's plan to follow.

He wants a reputation, a good reputation, preferably a good reputation that can help him carry out reforms in the future.

Benevolence and generosity, caring for servants, this kind of reputation is a kind of good reputation!What's more, doing this kind of work is not a new routine for Gao Yushi, he is very familiar with it, and the door is clear!
