Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    This man's conversation is extraordinary, and what's even more rare is his calm and unhurried demeanor, which is definitely not like that of an ordinary teacher in the countryside, and his name is also very strange, Gao Jizuo?  Sounds familiar.  Xiao Yungui touched his nose and said with a smile: "It is not a good thing to know this king. I am a rebel bandit. Aren't you afraid of being implicated?"

    Gao Jizuo said with a faint smile: "Now the city of Changsha is controlled by your army, and there are so many people who have heard the name of the King of the West. Will the government hold the people of the city accountable for their crimes? The law does not blame the people, King West."

    Xiao Yungui laughed loudly and said: "I have also heard that the government is willing to deal with rebellious people like us. It is a waste of money. What about the people of the city? When the government really wants to kill people, there will be no mercy."

    The teacher stood with his hands behind his hands and said with a smile: "The King of the West is right. To govern troubled times, you need to use heavy rules. Sometimes you have to be more ruthless, but I am not afraid."

    During the conversation, the large bowl of noodles that Xiao Yungui asked for was delivered. Xiao Yungui was not polite. He raised the bowl in front of him and said, "You two haven't had breakfast yet. Do you want a bowl of noodles too?"

    Zhu Changlin quickly handed over her hands and thanked her: "We have both had breakfast, Prince Xi can do what he wants."

    Xiao Yungui chuckled and said: "It's true that Shopkeeper Zhu is so rich that he wouldn't want to have breakfast with me. I'm really hungry. If you have anything to say, just tell me and I'll eat while I'm here.  listen."

    After saying that, he raised his chopsticks and started to eat. The swordsman serving the noodles beside him reminded him in a low voice: "His Royal Highness, the King of the West, you still need to pray."

    Xiao Yungui smiled bitterly, put his hands into fists under his nose, murmured a pre-dinner prayer, and then wolfed down the noodles.

    The teacher frowned and asked, "Prince Xi, do you Taiping really believe in this foreign religion?"

    Xiao Yungui looked up at him, reluctantly swallowed the noodles in his mouth and said: "Waiyi God's Religion? Who said that God's Religion belongs to foreigners?"

    The teacher said: "This God's Christianity is the religion believed in by all the countries in Europe and the West. How could it not be the teachings of foreigners? I, China, with its thousands of years of civilization and brilliance, are the great country of heaven, how can I believe in these foreign religions?"

    Xiao Yungui chuckled and said, "Isn't Buddhism also introduced to China from foreign countries, and is it also the teachings of foreigners? Then you still believe it?"

    The teacher snorted and said, "Buddha teaches people to be kind. It has been spread to China for thousands of years. The essence of Mu Yao's thousand-year inheritance in China has been completely transformed and is no longer a foreign religion."

    Xiao Yungui said calmly: "Whether it is Christianity or Buddhism, they were all spread from outsiders. This is irrefutable. In fact, Christianity had missionaries in China during the Ming Dynasty and the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty.  , it¡¯s just limited to the southeast coast. I think you are also a smart man. In fact, the Chinese people have not had a firm belief since ancient times. They just believe in which gods are efficacious. We can gather people and raise troops because of this.  If we can live in peace, have enough to eat, and no longer be bullied by corrupt officials, under such circumstances, do you think the people who follow us will believe in God?"

    The teacher touched the short beard under his chin and nodded slightly and said: "Prince Xi, please speak quickly. Your army brought out the god God. In today's world, when the gods are not working, establishing another god can indeed win people's hearts. This is the following point."  I understand. Any rebellion is a self-established god who gathers the people, demonstrates the power of the gods, and controls people's hearts. In the past, the Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty asked the Red Emperor's son to kill the white snake, and the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty was born in Zoroastrianism in his early years. All dynasties have had gods attached to them.  There is nothing wrong with what happened.¡±

    Xiao Yungui took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Everyone understands this, just say what you don't want."

    The teacher smiled and said sternly: "But your army's move to the branch of the Holy Treasury violated human ethics. They destroyed Confucian, Buddhist and Taoist temples wherever they went, and expelled monks and Taoists. They did not respect Confucianism, but  It has offended the scholars all over the world, but it is shaking the foundation of China's thousand-year-old literary tradition. If we don't stop as soon as possible, I'm afraid your army will not be able to achieve anything in the future, and will fall sooner or later."

    Xiao Yungui originally picked up the noodles and was about to put them in his mouth. After hearing this, he stopped in a daze, put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "I have not yet established a firm foothold in Taiping. When I march and fight, I will gather all my money and food to provide for the army."  I know that military expenditures and human nature are selfish. Once we gain a firm foothold in the future, I will send a letter to the Holy Treasury to the King to make changes. The branch library is also a last resort. The army is currently fighting continuously. The men's and women's library can reduce a lot of trouble.  Aren't women also not allowed to enter the camp? As for the matters concerning Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, I will also tell the King of Heaven that in my opinion it doesn't matter what you believe in, as long as those who support me in expelling the Hunu in peace are our friends."

    The teacher¡¯s eyes lit up and he cupped his hands and said, ¡°Prince Xi is indeed a man who can achieve great things, but it¡¯s a pity that Prince Xi is just Prince Xi now.¡±

    Xiao Yungui smiled lightly and said, "It's a pity that you are just a teacher."Mr. ??, you and I both understand what I mean, right?  Xiangyin now has Zuo Zongtang, Zuo Jigao and Mr. Zuo!  "After some discussion, Xiao Yungui finally found a clue from the pseudonym of the teacher Gao Jizuo. If Gao Jizuo was reversed, wouldn't he be Zuo Jigao? Xiao Yungui still remembered the names of the four famous officials of the Manchu and Zhongxing Dynasties.

    The teacher was shocked, his face changed drastically and he said, "How do you know?"

    Xiao Yungui drank a bowl of noodle soup, patted his stomach and felt that he was no longer hungry. He raised his hand to wipe his mouth and said with a smile: "A famous Xianghu scholar, Zuo Zongtang is more famous than Zhuge Liang today. I heard people say your name just after I entered Hunan.  Yes, Ji Gao is my cousin, Gao Ji Zuo, hmm, do you think I am confused?"

    Zuo Zongtang cupped his hands and said: "The Western Prince is free and easy-going, informal, and insightful of world affairs. He is indeed remarkable, but I don't know what the Western Prince plans to do with me?"

    Xiao Yungui frowned and said: "Mr. Zuo, don't you want to follow me? Recovering the thousand-year glory of our Han people is also an earth-shattering undertaking. If we can succeed, we can all be remembered in history together, and Mr. Zhuge's name will be justified."  "Xiao Yungui was very excited. If he could get a talent like Zuo Zongtang, it would be worth one hundred thousand taels of silver.

    Zuo Zongtang stood with his hands behind his hands and said proudly: "Prince Xi, you are also a smart man. You don't know the meaning of what I just said. When the day comes, Prince Xi is no longer Prince Xi, I may consider coming to seek refuge with you. After all, Xi Wang is  What the prince just said about the great cause of recovering the Han family is indeed very attractive."

    Xiao Yungui was disappointed for a while. Zuo Zongtang was a smart man. He saw that he could not make the decision now. At best, he was only the second or third figure in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Following him was extremely risky. How could he convince a madman who calls himself Zhuge Liang with just a few words?  Before he has enough strength, people like Zuo Zongtang will never surrender to him.

    Xiao Yungui was still unwilling to give up. He gritted his teeth and said, "What if I don't let Mr. get out of this door?"

    Zuo Zongtang shook his clothes and snorted: "Don't you, Prince Xi, know the integrity of us scholars? Scholars are not afraid of death, so how can we be afraid of death! At worst, I will not become a thief even if my blood is splashed in this hall.  .¡±

    Seeing Zuo Zongtang getting angry, Xiao Yungui chuckled and said, "Mr. Zuo, you don't have to act like you're going to live or die. I'm just asking casually. How about this? Let's make a gentleman's agreement. If this is the case in the future,  The king has enough capital, how about you come and serve me again?"

    Zuo Zongtang muttered: "But if Lord Xi can't do what he just said, I will lead the army to destroy you!"

    Xiao Yungui gave a thumbs up and said: "He is indeed a cheerful person. If I can't do what I said, I will wait for you to destroy me! Once we have made an agreement, we will ask shopkeeper Zhu to be a witness. The three in front of us will  How about a high five?¡±

    Zuo Zongtang said loudly: "Okay!" At that moment, the two high-fived each other in the hall to make an appointment.

    After making an agreement with Zuo Zongtang, Xiao Yungui said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Zhu, you can tell me why you came to see me?"
