Chapter 17: The world is in chaos, the world is ablaze, there are hundreds of schools of thought, but I am the only one who dominates
It was already late at night when I ended the conversation with Dr. Baijia.
Outside the window, it suddenly started snowing.
Qin Feng especially likes when it snows.
Looking up at the night sky, watching the snowflakes rustling down, thinking carefully, it is already the end of November, almost December.
In the blink of an eye, I have traveled through time for three months.
Qin Feng recalled the words of Dr. Baijia and became more and more determined to join Guigu!
It is undeniable that Confucianism and Mohism are both attractive, but compared to Guigu, they are still inferior.
In this cyberpunk Warring States era, choosing the right path, the right master, and the right force are more important than in our own time.
In my own time, the power was not exaggerated to the point of being able to physically cross the stars. People still had to wear space suits when going to alien planets.
In this era, domineering warriors can already travel through the stars without avoiding the particle flow, not to mention the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period. Each has its own strengths. Choosing the right sect means half the battle, and choosing the wrong sect means that you may The next days will be poverty alleviation work.
No one wants to help the poor himself, everyone wants to be helped out of poverty.
Then naturally we have to choose a strong and domineering sect, Guigu!
As for Guigu’s high requirements and high threshold, this is not a problem!
Qin Feng thought about it for a while, but it was still too difficult to ask his father Qin Wuyang to write him a letter of recommendation that would impress Gui Guzi, the political advisor.
After all, dad’s cultural level is there! If you let him drink and let him brag, he will be as good as ten of himself!
But if you ask him to write articles and engage in mathematics and physics, he is looking for trouble.
But if you want to write a self-recommendation letter to Guiguzi, how should you write it?
Currently, there are three strategies before Qin Feng, the upper, middle and lower ones.
The first one, the plan is to write an article that is completely consistent with Guiguzi’s core concepts, and then let Guiguzi read it, so Guiguzi will be so happy that he immediately sends Gai Nie or Wei Zhuang to accept me as his disciple. !
The second one is to fall into the trap. Through his father's words, he can show his potential and explain his future. He can even reveal the secrets of five hundred energy and blood and one thousand energy and blood to make Guiguzi interested in him.
The third trick is to put it directly, I am a time traveler and can know everything that will happen two thousand years in the future!
Among these three strategies, the third one is not very good. First of all, his golden finger is his big secret, just like the big pants, how can he let outsiders know, and Qin Feng is worried that even Gui Guzi Even if he knew it, Guiguzi wouldn't believe it. This reason was too nonsense.
Article 2, although my force value is through the roof and 20% of my brain development is terrifying, this is just my ability. Although I can get Guiguzi’s attention, I will never get a lot of attention. ! After all, Gui Guzi has never seen such a genius!
The first one is to directly write an article that has the same concept as Guigu’s core sect and let Guiguzi see it, which is the best way to go!
So, the question comes again, what is the core concept of Guiguzi’s sect?
This sect, from a historical perspective, is a sect that has been capricious from Qin to Chu, and has done anything to achieve its goals!
It can be said that in order to win, they will do anything, kill fellow sects, fight internally, and squeeze externally. These things that are considered treacherous and unethical in the eyes of other sects are commonplace in Guigu.
After thinking about the list of human wise men in the next two thousand years, Qin Feng chose one person - Machiavellian, known as the father of Western political science. The outspoken tolerance and encouragement of this kind of ruler's "evil deeds" earned him no less than twenty notoriety in Western and human history, such as "the devil's partner", "evil mentor", etc., and such an unscrupulous man The guy has also been respected by almost all rulers, and even formed a genre!
The thoughts of Machiavellian and the thoughts of the politician are surprisingly similar. Both parties are firm supporters of the inherent evil of human nature. They also have the will to do whatever it takes to win and the strong execution ability!
If I convey Machiavelli's thoughts to Guiguzi in the form of ancient Chinese translation, Guiguzi will definitely be interested in me!
After all, Machiavellian’s thoughts have convinced billions of Western humans in the world, especially the upper class elites. Such a treasure of human thought will definitely be liked by Guiguzi!
So, after thinking about the core of Machiavellian's thoughts, Qin Feng wrote a simple chess article.
It is a very simple paper with one question and one answer.
Then Qin Feng stuffed the paper into the daily greeting letter that his father mailed to Guigu, and began to wait quietly.
...
Time flies by, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Songhai, outside an unknown low-key mansion, the courier put a letter in the mailbox.
Not long after, a boy wearing ancient clothes hurried into the basement holding a letter.
After passing through multiple doors, the boy in ancient clothes came to the door of a quiet study room and cautiously said towards the door, "Sir, Mr. Qin Wuyang from Longyou has sent a letter."< br>
An old voice came from inside the house, "Send it in!"
The boy in ancient clothes respectfully placed the letter on the desk in the basement.
In the darkness, a pair of pale and wrinkled old hands skillfully opened the letter and read it carefully.
Soon, he finished reading Qin Wuyang's content, and said in a plain voice, "Mr. Qin is worthy of being a nobleman of the Yan Kingdom. Although he is down and out, he has never forgotten Guigu. He is a real person!"
Just when the old man was about to throw the letter away, he found that another piece of paper fell out of the letter and fell to the ground.
The boy picked it up, looked at it and said, "Here, this is the paper from the high school homework book! There are some words on it!"
The old man was busy with other things and said without raising his head. , "What's written on it?"
Tongzi said, "This is a high school chess composition, written by Qin Wuyang's son, named Qin Feng! I guess it was Qin Wuyang who saw this article The composition is excellent. I want you to show the quality of this article to his son! I have read some of it, sir, and the things on it are really unique!”
The old man laughed. , "Read it and listen."
The boy said, "Yes!"
"The two sides of the game are named Zhang San and the other is Li Si."
"The theme of the article is, in order to achieve the goal, can we use any means at all?"
As soon as the topic came out, the busy old man's hand, paused.
The boy continued, "Zhang San and Li Si started a debate."
"Zhang San said: Is the truth in the hands of a few people?"
"Li Sidao: Generally speaking, yes! Only the masses are attracted by the appearance of things."
"Zhang Sandao: Then why do we always exclude a few people?" "Li Sidao: Because the world is full of gangsters. , when the majority can stand, the minority has no place to stand!"
"Zhang Sandao: Why is it difficult to reunite a broken mirror!"
" Li Sidao: Because old hatred cannot be forgotten even if given new favors.”
"Zhang Sandao: What is the antonym of change?"
"Li Sidao: What sounds good is called principles, and what sounds bad is called sticking to rules."
"Zhang Sandao: What is the most unstable thing in the world? "
"Li Sidao: Of course, honors that are not based on one's own strength do not rule out a situation. Some people may receive honors, but that is not the real honor, nor is it the honor he wants to get! "
At this point, the busy old man’s hands have stopped.
Tongzi said, "Zhang Sandao: Let's get back to the topic, which is more important, purpose or means?"
"Li Sidao: The purpose can justify the means, but the means cannot justify the purpose, so..."
"Zhang Sandao: The purpose is more important?"
"Li Sidao: Correct! In order to achieve the goal, you can do whatever it takes!"
"Zhang Sandao: Aren't you teaching people to do evil?"
"Li Sidao: No, I am teaching a qualified king how to correctly control power. Haven't you noticed? Those who win in the struggle are often the bad people, and the good people cannot go far in the struggle for power!"< br>
"Zhang Sandao: Why?"
"Li Sidao: Because in order to achieve their goals, bad people will use the darkest wisdom and the most cunning tricks! And they will not be hindered by principles! Let me ask you a question The question is, should a monarch be generous? "
"Zhang Sandao: Of course he is generous!"
"Li Sidao: How to be generous?"
"Zhang Sandao: Throw money!"
"Li Sidao: Where does the money come from?"
"Zhang Sandao: Taxation?"
"Li Sidao: So, is it, money? The more you spread, the heavier the tax will be. The more money you can spread, the more generous you will be? So, your act of generosity is harmful to others! It is a great evil that pushes the people of Li into a pit of fire!"
When the boy was talking about this, the idle old hands couldn't help it and started to applaud.
The old man couldn't help but say, "Okay! Well said! Haha! Interesting rebuttal!"
The boy next to him looked at the gentleman in surprise. In his impression, the gentleman had always been serious and indifferent. It’s really incredible that I am a serious person, but now I am applauding and laughing because of an article.
The old man said, "Keep going! There should be more exciting content later!"
The boy continued to read, "Li Sidao: So when you do something generous, you also lose it. Rather than having the power of generosity, it would be better to be stingy and spend money on the army to maintain the country's security. Isn't it a wise move?"
"Zhang Sandao: But if you say that? , it’s so evil!”
"Li Sidao: This is a fact, and the facts don't sound very friendly. It is safer to be feared than to be loved. Fear relies on the strong chain of power, while love relies on the fragile bond of human kindness. , the former requires blood and life to overthrow, while the latter can be cut off at any time as long as it is profitable."
"Zhang Sandao: You are simply too evil, you should go to hell."
"Li Sidao: No, I am just telling some very practical things, not sitting there dreaming. I am guiding kind people to understand the actions of tyrants, so as to find their own chance of survival."
< br>"Zhang Sandao: So, you are kind by nature?"
"Li Sidao: People are evil by nature, but they learn to be kind. There is nothing wrong with kindness itself. What I object to is over-focused kindness. I think there is no shame in borrowing the dirty tricks of evil people when necessary.”
"Zhang Sandao: What you mean is that we should focus on the purpose, not the means, and explain everything with the goal and results."
"Li Sidao: Yes, that's it! After all, we are the sum of all our achievements, that is, contradictions In sum, it doesn’t matter whether you are kind in your heart or not. What is important is that this world should be filled with kindness!”
“Zhang Sandao: Filial piety is the first of all good deeds, no matter of deeds, no filial son, no filial son of poor family, all evil deeds are the first, no matter of deeds! Regardless of the heart, no one is perfect in the world, thank you sir."
The boy wiped his dry lips, sweat dripping from his forehead. He looked at the gentleman in the darkness and waited quietly.
The gentleman's fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a crisp sound of bones. Time seemed to have stopped in the darkness.
I don’t know how much time has passed, but the gentleman’s voice has changed, “I am about to become a prime minister, but I can meet such a strange person. It is really a blessing from Zongheng! If he can be accepted as his disciple, Zongheng will definitely be above hundreds of others in the future, and he will have the last laugh!”
The boy said cautiously, "But, sir, the disciples of Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang are already complete, Zongheng can only have two successors, unless Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang accept this person as their disciple, but if that is the case, He also violated the arrogant sect rules of Zongheng for three generations. Senior brothers Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang cannot accept this person..."
The gentleman smiled faintly and said, "That's true, but have you ever thought about it, my senior brother is dead? Morning, what if I accept a disciple on my behalf?”
Hearing this, the boy hurriedly knelt down, “Sir, you must not! If you accept a disciple on your behalf, Brother Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie will definitely do it. Those who will object, they are all geniuses, and they will never agree to have more than one master!"
The gentleman said, "The talent of genius? Haha! The essence of a person lies in his thoughts, the so-called martial arts theory After all, it's just an extension of their thoughts. The two of them have been practicing for many years, and their views on the kingly way and all things in the world are not as useful as two sentences from this guy's article. This shows that this guy's understanding of all things in the world is higher than that of Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang combined can't compare with him! This boy can only be ranked with me when he starts. After I go to Hexi, he will be the acting head of Guigu. In the future, he will also accept two disciples, and then four disciples will fight against each other. Let’s talk about the next generation leader of Guigu! ”
When the boy heard this, he understood that the matter was done and could not be changed. He hurriedly said, "Yes, according to what the teacher said." It's not urgent. This Qin Feng still needs to be tested to see how good his luck is and how good his martial arts is! Let's go and inform Gai Nie and ask him to go to Dragon City to observe Qin in the name of an old friend. Feng, return to Guigu in one year and report Qin Feng’s situation.”
The boy nodded, “Yes!”
The gentleman said, “Get ready, we will do it after tomorrow. Back to Ghost Valley, I think the Space Assassin Light Armor Master has found my hiding place here, I can’t stay here!”
Tongzi said, “Yes!”
