Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Gathering of Small Groups, Fertile Ground for Traitors

Where did this guy who was deported from Tokyo with his household registration cancelled? At this time, Gao Qiu was ordered to go into exile by the government, and everyone shouted and beat him. He had nowhere to stay in Tokyo, so he had to go to Huaixi to seek refuge with Liu Dalang, a leisurely man who ran a gambling shop.You see, he is another idler who runs a gambling shop and has plenty of money. Moreover, this time Gao Qiu has learned a lesson and gained experience. He is not helping Liu Dalang's son, but Liu Dalang himself. three years.The name of Liu Shiquan is very interesting. It implies that this is a world of expediency, a world of carelessness, rather than a world with right and wrong, open and aboveboard.Therefore, this is a world especially suitable for villains to survive.It is precisely because there are too few people in this world who talk about principles and too many people who talk about expediency and self-preservation, that makes a villain like Gao Li go about his business every step of the way, and often end up ascending to heaven in one step.

In ancient Chinese proverbs, there are too many harmful and poisonous so-called smarts. For example, there is a saying: "It is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain." What a cowardly, selfish and irresponsible motto is this?If everyone acts like this, won't it create a world where the gentleman suffers from the disadvantages and the villain succeeds?People who believe in such maxims, don't they themselves have become villains in the first place?Moreover, it has also created a villainous culture in society, and even a villainous society. Three years later, Song Zhezong played the game of amnesty for the world on a whim.In ancient times, when emperors ascended the throne, changed their reign titles, established empresses, and appointed princes, they often announced amnesty to show their favor. All criminals are pardoned; the second is very deep, it not only exempts the execution of punishment, but also announces the complete cancellation of criminal responsibility and criminal record, that is, it will no longer be used as a criminal record.

The feudal ruling class in ancient China played this kind of amnesty trick, on the one hand, they pretended to be kind, but on the other hand, they seriously damaged the justice of the law. This kind of amnesty is indeed a kind of grace to criminals, but isn’t it a kind of mercy to victims? What a mockery and a grave injustice! Zhezong's benevolent government this time did not necessarily benefit the ordinary people, but it first liberated Gao Mao, a shabby household.He got amnesty and is coming back to Tokyo! In addition to giving him some money, Liu Shiquan also wrote a letter of recommendation for him, asking him to join his relatives: Dong Jiangshi who opened a herbal medicine shop.

When Dong Jiangshi saw Gao Qiu and Liu Shiquan's letter, he thought to himself: such a person cannot be kept.But he couldn't get rid of Liu Dalang's face, so he pretended to be happy and kept Gao Qi at home for the night. He stayed at home for more than ten days with food and wine every day. He wrote a letter and sent Gao Qiu to Xiao Su's place, and he said nicely: "The light of the firefly in the little man's house can't shine on people, and I may miss my step. I recommend you to go to Xiao Su's place, and I will also be with you in the future." Get a family background." Gao Qiu said happily.

This little scholar Su is Su Dongpo, and this is obviously derived from Wang Mingqing's "Hui Yu Hou Lu".But since a person like Su Dongpo, how can he live with such a villain?So he was also thinking in his heart: "How can I get him here? Why don't I recommend him to be a follower in the consort Wang Jinqing's mansion as a favor. He likes such a person." So Bachelor Su wrote another article I wrote a letter and recommended him to Wang Jinqing. "Water Margin" called Wang Shen the little king's captain, and said that he was the brother-in-law of Emperor Zhezong and the son-in-law of Emperor Shenzong. This was wrong. Wang Shen was married to Yingzong. The second daughter, Princess Wei, should be Yingzong's son-in-law and Shenzong's brother-in-law.Wang Shen really liked people like Gao Lian, so he was happy at first sight.Immediately, Gao Qiu was taken in as a personal follower in the mansion, and he went in and out like a family member.

This Wang Jinqing and Wang Shen are Su Dongpo's friends.Mr. Dongpo and his friend Wang Shen joined together, and in such an unseemly way, they added the word "Xiao" before their official positions, one was called "Little Su Bachelor", and the other was called "Little Wangdu Taiwei" and the following "Little Uncle Duanwang" form a "group gathering" trend, which can be regarded as a kind of ridicule by Shi Naian to them.Jin Shengtan said, "Little Bachelor Su, little Wang Taiwei, and little uncle Duan Wang, what a shame! Now that the group of young people have gathered together, Gao Qiu will not get what he wants, so how can he get it!"

Let's take a look at Gao Lian's process of approaching the power center of the upper class step by step.It turned out that he was a street mouse and was expelled from the capital. Everyone in Tokyo despised him and didn't allow him to stay at home.He stayed in Huaixi for three years, just a small helper among the lower gray people. What gave Gao Lian a chance? The court's amnesty decree.This is a very meaningful detail.It implies to us: it was the imperial court's decree that lifted the ban on such evil people as Gao Lian, giving him the opportunity to make a fortune, and then ruin the family and the country and the people.

And that's not all. When Gao Qiu received the amnesty, it was a letter from Liu Shiquan recommending him to Tokyo, which gave him a foothold in this so-called most benevolent district. Dong Jiangshi is not a person who can distinguish between good and evil. Shrewd enough for him to distinguish between good and evil, but shrewd enough for him to distinguish between good and bad.After judging his own interests, he recommended Gao Lian to Bachelor Xiao Su, and the same to Bachelor Xiao Su, and recommended him to Taiwei Xiao Wangdu. Decent bureaucrats, but after making judgments about good and evil, and right and wrong, they went on to make judgments about interests.A gentleman who judges good and evil is a gentleman, and a judge who judges interests and puts interests above right and wrong is a villain.They knew that Gao Lian was a plague god, but they didn't solve this plague god under their own hands and block his ascension path, but on the contrary, just like the soldiers who lost the birthday card in the 17th round said, the fire burned them all, Each went to sweep, the bee swarmed into his arms, and then undressed.Their considerations based on their own interests overwhelm the judgment of right and wrong, and their small personal calculations overwhelm the big principles of life. The small ones prevail, and the big ones disappear, and the adults become villains. Therefore, the author writes Su Xueshi as Xiaosu Xueshi , Write Wangdu Taiwei as Xiao Wangdu Taiwei, and Duan Wang as Xiaojiu Duanwang.

People, it starts from making personal calculations, from adults to villains! In this process, there is one more thing to pay attention to.Liu Dalang recommended Gao Qiu to Dong Jiangshi, Dong Jiangshi was not happy; Dong Jiangshi pushed Gao Qiu to Xiao Su, and Xiao Su was also unhappy, they all regarded Gao Qiu as an ominous thing , unclean people.But when Bachelor Xiao Su recommended Gao Li, who was generally hated by the lower classes, to Taiwei Xiao Wangdu, he was "happy when he saw him", and soon "went in and out like a family member".At this point, we want to congratulate this shabby hukou who is annoying everywhere and pushed by others, he has found a home.

But this is not his final destination. Now that he has found his home, he will still find his country.
