Chapter 2214: Fish on the Cutting Board

Ji Zongbu looked around first, and he was relieved to make sure that no one heard their conversation. He stopped talking immediately, pulled Shen Long back to his home, closed the door, and then continued, "You are a child It is clearer than us grown-ups, this imperial court is really similar to your family, and the old lady in charge is more capable than anyone else."

Regarding the character of Cixi, Cheng Ke once wrote a book "The Life of Cixi" to evaluate it. On the conservative side, there is no way to carry out reforms from top to bottom, so that China cannot become prosperous and strong, but her control over the imperial court is unquestionable.

When she was there, no matter how noisy the people were, they couldn't find her Wuzhi Mountain. Once she died, the next few people would not be able to do her job. Within a few years, the big green fruit pills were sold all over the country.

This is similar to the situation in Baicao Hall. Ever since Second Grandma Bai took charge of the house, even though Third Master Bai and Guiwu had been arguing endlessly and tried various ways to threaten the safety of Baicao Hall, they were all easily resolved by Second Grandma Bai. In the end, Bai Sanye was also convinced, and the others lost even more.

Ji Zongbu is a smart person, of course he can clearly see that Cixi's letting the sixth prince out of the mountain is only a temporary act, as long as this turmoil passes, she will go back to the old way, but he has worked hard to make the country rich and powerful, and it is not easy to meet him now. This opportunity, even if you know there will be no good results, you will not give up.

"I remember that the first thing I taught you was "The Analects of Confucius". You must still remember a sentence in it: A man must do what he does not do; there are some things in this world, even if you know that there will be no good results, you have to do it! This is the case right now. After I returned from Germany, I was thrown into the Lengyamen. There is no use for my full knowledge. Now I have finally encountered such an opportunity. I have to try, otherwise I will not be reconciled if I die .”

"In China, there are too many smart people and people who understand current affairs, that's why we are bullied by the big powers, but if there are more stupid people in the court, they don't think about these messy things and focus on doing their own errands well, the country will not Weak to this point; I have always looked down on those empty talkers, now that I have the opportunity, if I don’t come out to do things again, won’t I be like them!”

Ji Zongbu’s eye circles turned red as he spoke, and finally forced a smile, “Hey, you’re only a half-grown child, why should I tell you this! Your teacher has been promoted, and you don’t want to congratulate him. , and even made sarcastic remarks, you said whether it should be punished or not."

"You should be punished, you should be punished! Mr. Ji, I invite you to go to Donglaishun to cook meat. Let's have a good celebration. I wish you a successful start!" Shen Long suppressed a sigh.

"You don't need to go outside anymore, you can just have a drink with me here! I'm afraid I won't have much time to teach you in the future, hey, in fact, I have nothing to teach you." With Shen Long's learning ability, He squeezed out the stuff in Ji Zongbu's stomach, "Even if you are going to take the Jinshi exam now, it's easy to do, but I don't want you to plunge into this dark circle.

Fortunately, you didn't mean that, so you don't need me to be the villain. "

At the earliest time, Ji Zongbu saw that Shen Long was learning things so fast that it was unbelievable, and he also had a plan to let him be admitted to Jinshi, but Shen Long refused, and later he also figured it out. It's good to go in and get mixed up, so I stopped forcing it, and at the same time helped Shen Long keep the secret, and didn't tell Bai Wenshi about his being able to pass the Jinshi exam.

If we let the Bai family know that Bai Lao Qi has this ability, why don't they immediately push him to prepare for the exam? Although the old name of the Bai family has a good reputation, the family has never had a Jinshi.

"Hey, Mr. Ji, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you!" Shen Long planned to cook for himself, but Ji Zongbu didn't let him cook anything delicious, so he made some dried tofu and peanuts. The two of them drank.

Ji Zongbu soon went to the Military Aircraft Department to take up his post, but the development of the matter was almost exactly the same as what Shen Long said. Although Guizi Liu was appointed as the Minister of the Prime Minister's Yamen and the Prime Minister of the Navy, he was able to handle military affairs and walk in the inner court, but he did nothing. Even Ji Zongbu didn't get many chances.

A few years later, Shen Long's body was eighteen years old. It was also at Ji Zongbu's house. Ji Zongbu brought two fish back and was going to drink with Shen Long. Shen Long helped catch a fish. Before sending it to Ji Zongbu, the fish was placed on a temporary chopping board. Ji Zongbu held down the struggling fish and slapped it on the head with a knife, and the fish stopped moving.

The scene in front of him reminded Ji Zongbu of the current situation, "Did you see that, this fish is just like ours in China, and it was stabbed by foreigners! If China wants to survive, there is only one way, reform and reform."

Shen Long shook his head, "I'm afraid the old lady in the palace won't agree, I'll say the same thing, none of you can do anything that the old lady objects to."

"It's useless! The reform and reform are unstoppable, and one person monopolizes the power, which made the Qing dynasty exhausted." Ji Zongbu cut open the fish with a knife, and this time his tone was much firmer than last time, "If it doesn't change, it will change. Let’s bring this fish to the table for a delicious meal!... Hey, do you like braised in soy sauce or steamed?”

After the fish was steamed, the master and apprentice drank again. While drinking, Ji Zongbu babbled to Shen Long about the insightful people he met recently, many of them were famous figures in history, but they The endings are not very good. After a while, some of them will be called gentlemen.

Ji Zongbu also knew that what he was going to do was risky, so he started to chase people away after drinking, "In the future, don't come to me, you have to practice your skills well, always follow me What's the matter?"

Shen Long sighed slightly in his heart, but he didn't say much, he could only salute solemnly, wishing Ji Zongbu a successful completion of this great event, no matter what time it is, this kind of true patriot is worthy dear.

It is a pity that history has not changed because of Ji Zongbu. The revolution he and Tan Sitong initiated failed. Tan Sitong and others were imprisoned, and Ji Zongbu was also wanted by the court.

Shen Long has been keeping an eye on Ji Zongbu's whereabouts. On this day, Ji Zongbu was blocked in the alley by several big inner guards. Although he can fight out with his force, he will inevitably be injured. Ji Zongbu is preparing to fight desperately. At that time, I only heard a few swishing sounds, and I don't know how many darts flew from there, hitting the throats of the guards in Da Nei, and then Shen Long turned out, "Mr. Ji, go!"
