It was already late at night when I ended my 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 falling, thinking carefully, it is already the end of November, and it will soon be 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 about joining 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, Gui Gu!
As for Guigu’s high requirements and high threshold, that’s not a problem!
Qin Feng thought 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, physics and chemistry, 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, upper, middle and lower.
The first is the plan. Write an article that is completely consistent with Guiguzi’s core concepts, and then let Guiguzi read it. Then Guiguzi will be so happy that the science school Gai Nie or Wei Zhuang will accept me as his apprentice!
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.
Article 3: Let’s make a plan. Let’s just say that 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 about it? Moreover, Qin Feng is worried that even if Guiguzi knows it, Guiguzi will not know it. I will believe that this reason is too nonsense.
The second point is that although his force value is through the roof and his brain development of 20% is terrifying, this is just his ability. Although he can be valued by Guiguzi, he will never receive a lot of attention! After all, Gui Guzi has never seen such a genius!
The first one is to directly write an article with the same concept as Guigu’s core sect and let Guiguzi see it. This is actually the best way to go!
So, the question comes again, what is the core concept of Guiguzi’s sect?
From a historical perspective, this sect is a sect that has been capricious from Qin to Chu, and has no use for its purpose!
They can say that in order to win, they will do anything, including killing fellow sects, internal strife, and external oppression. These things that other sects regard as treacherous and unethical are commonplace in Guigu.
After thinking about the list of human wise men in the next two thousand years, Qin Feng chose one person - Machiavelli, known as the father of Western political science. The famous rotation "The Prince" even described the "evil deeds" of various rulers. "Outspoken tolerance and encouragement, he has gained no less than twenty notoriety in Western history and human history, such as "Devil's Partner", "Evil Mentor", etc., and such an unscrupulous guy has also gained almost Respected by all rulers, it even formed a genre!
Machiavellian's thoughts are surprisingly similar to those of the Strategist. Both parties are firm supporters of the evil nature of human nature. They also have the unscrupulous will and strong execution power to win!
If I convey Machiavellian'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!
Therefore, Qin Feng wrote a simple chess article after thinking about the core of Machiavellian's thoughts.
It's a very simple paper with one question and one answer.
Then Qin Feng stuffed the paper into the daily greeting letter mailed by his father to Guigu, and began to wait quietly.
…
Time flies by, two days passed in the blink of an eye.
In Songhai, outside an unknown low-key mansion, the courier put a letter in the mailbox.
Not long after, a boy in ancient clothes hurried into the basement holding a letter.
After passing through a series of 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."
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 calm voice, "Mr. Qin is worthy of being a nobleman of the Yan Kingdom. Although he is down and out now, he has never forgotten Guigu. He is a real person!"
Just when the old man was about to throw the letter away, he found another piece of paper falling out of the letter and falling 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 asked without raising his head, "What's written on it?"
The boy said, "This is a high school chess essay, written by Qin Wuyang's son, named Qin Feng! I guess Qin Wuyang saw this essay was very good, and wanted you to show it to his son. The quality of the article! Comments by the way! I have read some, sir, the things here are really unique!”
The old man chuckled and said, "Read it and listen."
The boy said, "Yes!"
"Both sides of the game are named Zhang San and the other is Li Si."
"The topic of the article is, in order to achieve the goal, is it okay to do whatever it takes?"
As soon as the question came out, the busy old man's hands paused for a moment.
The boy continued, "Zhang San and Li Si started a debate."
"Zhang Sandao: 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 this world is full of mobs. While the majority can stand, the minority has no place!"
"Zhang Sandao: Why is it difficult to reunite a broken mirror!"
"Li Sidao: Because giving new favors cannot forget the old hatred."
"Zhang Sandao: What is the antonym of change?"
"Li Sidao: What sounds good is called principles, but what doesn't sound good 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 they want!"
At this point, the busy old man's hands stopped.
The boy said, "Zhang Sandao: Let's get back to the point, 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!"
"Zhang Sandao: Why?"
"Li Sidao: Because bad people will use the darkest wisdom and the most cunning tricks to achieve their goals! They will not be hindered by principles! Let me ask you a question, should a monarch be generous? Or should he be stingy?"
"Zhang Sandao: Of course you are generous!"
"Li Sidao: How to be generous?"
"Zhang Sandao: Throw money!"
"Li Sidao: Where does the money come from?"
"Zhang Sandao: Tax?"
"Li Sidao: So, is it true that the more money you spread, the heavier the taxes will be? The heavier the taxes, the more money you can spread, the more generous you will be? Then the people will not be able to make a living! Therefore, generosity is harmful to others. OK! Your seemingly benevolent act is an extremely evil act that pushes the common people into a pit of fire!"
When the boy was talking about this, the old hands that were free couldn't help it and started to applaud.
The old man kept saying, "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, cold and unsmiling, but now he would applaud and laugh because of an article. It was really incredible.
The old man said, "Keep going! There should be more exciting content later!"
The boy continued to read, "Li Sidao: Therefore, when you act generously, you also lose the ability to be generous! Rather than being counterproductive, it is better to be stingy and spend money on the army to maintain the security of the country." Is this a wise move?"
"Zhang Sandao: But if you say this, it is too 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 so 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."
"Zhang Sandao: So, you are kind in 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 their shameful methods from 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 target results."
"Li Sidao: Yes, that's it! After all, we are the sum of all our achievements, that is, the sum of contradictions. It doesn't matter whether we are kind in our hearts. What matters is that this world should be full of kindness!"
"Zhang Sandao: Among the hundred virtues, filial piety is the first. When it comes to the heart, it does not matter what the deeds are. When it comes to the deeds, there is no filial son in a poor family. The most evil thing is sexual immorality. When it comes to the deeds, the heart is not considered. When it comes to the heart, there is no perfect person 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. Time seemed to have stopped in the darkness.
I don’t know how much time has passed, but my husband’s voice has changed, “I’m about to become a retired man, but I met such a strange person. It’s 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, it will violate Zongheng With three generations of arrogant sect rules, Senior Brother Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang cannot accept this person..."
The teacher smiled faintly, "That's true, but have you ever thought about it? My senior brother died early. What if I accept a disciple on my behalf?"
After hearing this, the boy hurriedly knelt down and said, "Sir, you must not! If you accept a disciple on your behalf, senior brothers Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie will definitely object. They are both talented people and will never agree to having more than one junior uncle! "
The gentleman said, "The talent of a genius? Haha! The essence of a person lies in his thoughts. The so-called martial arts is just an extension of his 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 good as the two articles in this boy's article. The words are useful, which shows that this boy's understanding of everything in the world is unmatched by Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang combined! This boy can only be ranked with me when he first started. After I drove Hexi to the west, he was The acting head of Guigu will also accept two disciples in the future, and then four disciples will compete with each other. Let’s talk about the next generation of head of Guigu!”
When the boy heard this, he understood that the matter was done and could not be changed, so he hurriedly said, "Yes, according to what the teacher said."
The gentleman added, "I still have several decades to live before my end of life. This matter is not urgent. This Qin Feng still needs to be tested to see how good his luck is and how good his martial arts is! So, you go Inform Gai Nie and ask him to go to Dragon City to observe Qin Feng in the name of an old friend. After a year, he will return to Guigu and report Qin Feng's situation."
The boy nodded, "Yes!"
The husband said, "Get ready. After tomorrow, we will go back to Ghost Valley. I think the Cosmic Assassin Light Armor Master has found my hiding place here. I can't stay here anymore!"
The boy said, "Yes! Sir."
