Chapter 2317: A Slap in the Face Article, the Rut of History

Who would have thought that the second question would be this!

Mi Heng's ridicule of Pang Tong as "meat-eaters are despicable" was widely circulated in Chang'an. Many people even secretly laughed at Pang Tong behind his back. But the problem is that most of those who mocked behind his back did not dare to say it in front of him. Shit, especially after seeing the title "Meat eaters are despicable", I couldn't help but secretly glance at Pang Tong, feeling uneasy and uneasy, and I didn't know how to write for a while.

Because to a certain extent, these students are also "meat eaters", or are about to become "meat eaters", which puts them in a very embarrassing position.

It's very simple. When these students were chattering and shouting that carnivores are despicable, most people didn't realize that to some extent, everyone is a carnivore. When these students ridiculed and satirized Pang Tong, they actually picked it out themselves. But now when faced with this topic again, they found that they could not pick it out.

According to the previous practice, continue to express some emotion, saying that Pang Tong is a hammer, and then there is a high probability that Pang Tong will let these people know what a real hammer is.

But if I change my words, it will no longer be appropriate.

It was fun when I was chattering before, but now I have turned my back and said that the "meat eaters" are not despicable. Needless to say, whether I can explain this truth and tell one, two, three, but anyone who has said bad things about Pang Tong before, if they turn around now, Even if Pang Tong doesn't care, will others not care?

The handle is equivalent to falling into the hands of others!

As long as they are revealed at any time and these people change their stance in the examination room from criticizing Pang Tong to praising Pang Tong, they will immediately become people who follow the crowd and covet wealth!

Except for a small number of people who are really thick-skinned and cruel, most people still can't stand the title of "treacherous minister"...

To give you a chestnut, it is like those people in later generations who often spray shit on the Internet to express how the leaders of that country in China are doing. Do they feel good when they spray? When the real-name system is implemented on the Internet, there is no need to use real-name system, as long as it can be proved that the account is his, and that all the comments he made before are held by certain groups or the servers of a certain company, and wait until he reaches a certain position. Suddenly he came to the door, could he cover it up by just saying that he was young, frivolous and ignorant?

In the face of big data, everyone is transparent.

Just like in the current examination room, how many people dare to bet that if they continue to curse "meat eaters" as despicable and obscene, they will still be valued by Pang Tong and be admitted with high scores?

It’s impossible to even think about it with your toes!

Is recruiting talents just to encourage these students to spit shit? If these people who curse "meat eaters" are promoted, doesn't it mean that more and more people will be encouraged to spray feces in the future? So how to promote policies and how to implement laws? You scolded Ma Lie in your college entrance examination essay and still want high scores?

Therefore, Pang Tong said four words in front of these people, which was no less than slapping them four times in the face. It was painful and spicy. Only the person involved can understand the specific feeling.

Pang Tong sat high on the stage, looking at a group of reference students scratching their heads and laughing secretly in his heart. It is undeniable that Pang Tong had some revenge in taking these four words as the title. However, if he said it was purely for personal grudges, then he would be underestimating Pang Tong.

"Meat eaters are despicable" may be true, but the following sentence "cannot plan far", is it really correct?

The top carnivores must be long-term planners both subjectively and objectively, otherwise they will end up like vegetarians and become food for other meat eaters, and sometimes even worse than vegetarians.

Even assuming that carnivores are not capable of far-sightedness, most of the onlookers who are not involved in the game are unable to recognize the facts. Many times bystanders think that as long as they step in, they will be able to do it, but when they actually enter the game, thousands of people will be surprised. Difficulties abound.

From another perspective, some meat eaters or people who are about to become meat eaters naively think that as long as there is one result, the specific process can be ignored, or that certain rules can be ignored, or they simply do not have enough ability to do it. Cognitive identification of some global variables often results in structural damage, and the spectator-style foresight becomes a joke after implementation.

As for most so-called vegetarians, their interests are not broad enough at all, and they will inevitably fall into the calculations of others, or indulge in their own desires, and ultimately fail.

The only remaining successful people should actually be middle-level people who prefer meat-eaters. They not only know some of the conditions and rules of meat-eaters, but also understand the pain and demands of vegetarians, so they can effectively reconcile the interests of all parties. .

And under the influence of survivorship bias, many people think that these people are the "vegetarian representatives" worthy of special mention. However, in fact, in history, most of the vegetarians' struggles eventually fell. Meat-eaters still occupy most of the space and time in all eras, determining the direction of the entire society.

Pang Tong was patrolling, and then suddenly saw Tian Yu's gaze.

The two looked at each other for a moment. Tian Yu smiled slightly, then lowered his head and began to write furiously. Pang Tong pinched his third chin with interest, and then made a mental note of Tian Yu...

If the first policy question is to set up a vane and test everyone's knowledge reserves, the second policy question is to test one's true intentions and understanding of the political system.

After all, Cao GUI's shining point only shone for a brief moment during the Battle of the Changshao, and then disappeared. Doesn’t it also prove to some extent that it is easy for bystanders but not easy for those who join the game?

Anyway, Pang Tong had a standard in his mind. The focus of "meat eaters are despicable" is not on "meat eaters", but on "despicable". As long as a serious person can tell how to not be "despicable", or How to prevent the occurrence of "disdain", then basically this area of ​​policy will be qualified. If we can contact "cannot plan far-sighted" again, and then the pattern is bigger, at least getting an advantage will be no problem.

On the contrary, if these people simply focus the article on "meat eaters" and "vegetarians" and talk about the pros and cons of the two, then there is basically no chance.

After all, humans are typical omnivores...

…（☆′?｀☆）……

The students had just walked out of the examination room, and before they had time to digest or discuss the answers with each other, an answer came from Longyou, which excited the whole of Chang'an.

The Battle of Longyou achieved a phased victory. Beigong's so-called 300,000 Qiang troops were defeated in Zhangye City, and almost all the territory occupied by the Qiang was recovered. The Qiang rebellion unfolded at a glance It's about to end.

When the news came, many people didn't believe it, and even thought it was false news deliberately released by the Cavalry General Fei Qian, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, for the harvest, for the candidates, etc. Anyway, these people felt that the previous Xiqiang rebellion After such a long time, how could it be possible that we had achieved a phased victory in such a short period of time?

The people were very happy. After all, no matter what generation they were from, people did not like to fight. Therefore, although it was not a big happy event celebrated by everyone, their energy and spirit improved a lot, and they were no longer worried all day long, thinking that the Qiang people might attack at any time. The fight came to Chang'an.

As for the suspicions of some people, at this point, it is not too important. After all, as long as Hexi delivers the loot and prisoners all the way to Chang'an, it will be obvious whether it is true or false.

It was in this atmosphere that Liu Zhen brought some people to Chang'an.

Liu Zhen is a descendant of King Zhang of the Han Dynasty. His father died early and his mother is the great-great-granddaughter of King Zhang of Jingzhao Yin in the Yuan Dynasty. She is also from a wealthy family. She is knowledgeable in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry, and poetry. She is young and widowed. Putting his hope on his son and nephews, Liu Zhen became what he is today.

After Liu Zhen and his party made some repairs in the post house, they first came to visit Fei Qian.

To be honest, Fei Qian was not familiar with Liu Zhen at all.

If he mentions the Seven Sons of Jian'an, maybe Fei Qian can say something, but the question is, what are the names of the Seven Sons of Jian'an now? It's not like the political commissar cheering up the soldiers in later movies and TV dramas. He just said, "We are going to fight the eight-year war of resistance..." …

So the words "Guang Shilang Liu Zhen", sorry, Fei Qian really has no impression.

They met briefly and let Liu Zhen leave without saying a few words.

Liu Zhen came to conquer Zheng Xuan on behalf of the emperor...

Fei Qian didn't have a clear attitude yet, but the gossip spread quickly and became a new hot topic of discussion, quickly going straight to the top of the list.

"Mr. Zheng... I wonder if he will be ordered to do so?" 』

"It's hard to say, the position of Crown Prince and Tutor... is not ordinary..."

"I heard that Duke Zheng is indifferent to fame and wealth and does not seek Sanhuai?" 』

"That's what I said, but...hehe, just watch..."

"Ah, that would be meaningless... Besides, Mr. Zheng wants to leave. Is this Qiaoqi willing?" 』

"So what if I don't want to?" This is the imperial court's conquest, the emperor's invitation! 』

"That's true..."

The streets were immediately divided into two levels. One was the nobles, who were talking about Zheng Xuan's affairs, and the other was ordinary people, who were excited about the battle of Longyou.

Bright spring and white snow.

Lower Riba people.

Each has its own points of discussion.

As for Fei Qian, he didn't make any special move, not even a so-called hint. It seemed that whether Zheng Xuan went to Xu County or not was all decided by Zheng Xuan himself. Of course, this is the proper meaning. After all, Zheng Xuan was recruited by the emperor. Even if he was the emperor in name, he was still the emperor.

Regarding this situation, Zheng Xuan was naturally in a whirlpool. His disciples also had their own ideas and argued endlessly with each other. However, Zheng Xuan himself thanked the guests behind closed doors and neither said he agreed nor disagreed. It seems that he is still weighing and hesitating.

It is unrealistic to say that Fei Qian has no idea at all, but now for Fei Qian, it is obviously better for Zheng Xuan to stay in Guanzhong, but if Zheng Xuan insists on leaving Chang'an, it is not good for Fei Qian to stop him openly. .

Senior officials in the Han Dynasty adopted the system of selecting subordinates. Officials such as the central chief executive, such as Sangong, and local officials, such as state pastors and county magistrates, can recruit their own staff and appoint them to official positions. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, famous people were directly recruited to serve as senior central officials, which was also called Zhengpi.

The imperial court characterized scholars as "conscripts."

High officials in the court and local governors summoned scholars on their own to "eliminate" them.

Even without convening everyone for discussion, Fei Qian could guess what the people in Shandong were thinking...

Among the Han Dynasty, Zheng Xuan can be said to be a banner in scriptures. The Shandong gentry ignored Zheng Xuan at first and did not cherish him at all. They may even think that Zheng Xuan would encroach on their original position, so they They unanimously excluded Zheng Xuan, but now things are better. When Zheng Xuan arrived in Guanzhong and became the pillar of Fei Qian's banner, he immediately regretted it...

Secondly, you can dig out Fei Qian's pillars and enrich yourself. Regardless of whether Zheng Xuan is willing to come or not, he can reveal a message to all the officials under Fei Qian's rule, which is similar to the meaning of "one year to prepare, two years to counterattack; three years to mop up, five years to succeed", regardless of whether anyone believes it or not , anyway, this attitude must be developed first.

As for the third aspect, it generally feels like suppressing Fei Qian's momentum. After all, Fei Qian has been so arrogant in the past two years that the emperor can't stand it any longer. He specially recruited Zheng Xuan to let Fei Qian know. The great man still has an emperor, and there are rules to abide by...

Many people watched helplessly as Fei Qian prepared to respond, but they did not expect that Fei Qian said nothing and just let Liu Zhen go find Zheng Xuan on his own.

Is it possible that General Fei Qian gave in?

Or are you secretly holding back some other coping strategies?

Liu Zhen was somewhat uneasy, but the emperor's recruitment order still had to be completed, so he went to find Zheng Xuan. However, for the emperor's recruitment and recruitment, the conscripts also have the freedom to apply or not to apply...

Therefore, Zheng Xuan did not express his position clearly, and the atmosphere seemed a little strange for a while.

When Zheng Xuan hesitated, or considered, in the Qilian Mountains on the right side of Longyou, Beigong, who was having nightmares in a dark cave, once again dreamed of a purgatory-like scene. Which one did he see? The ancient city, and the sounds of killing boiling around the city...

When he suddenly sat up from his chair, Beigong's forehead was already dripping with cold sweat. The light inside the cave was dim, and it was raining heavily outside. Beigong gritted his teeth and climbed up from the skin and walked to the entrance of the cave. The fresh air at the entrance of the cave did not make Bei Gong feel happy at all, because Bei Gong recalled that day again, that damn day that was like a nightmare.

At the beginning, it was indeed step by step, all within Beigong's plan.

The elite of the tribe, the strong young men, the strong war horses, the sharp swords, the flying flags, everything seemed to be just right, and according to Beigong's understanding of the geography of Hexi, the whole plan was also serious and well-planned. After repeated consideration, the vanguard's attack went smoothly, and they successively captured several Han Chinese cities and military strongholds...

Before hitting Zhangye, I felt really happy when I saw that the Han people had no intention of fighting and retreated all the way, especially when they were chasing the Han cavalry...

It was as if he was under the protection of the gods, and Jizi was on his body, especially when he led his troops and horses to surround Zhangye, he felt like he was in control of everything like soldiers and generals from heaven, motivating the soldiers in front of the battle, thousands of them When the Qiang people shouted in unison, it was the peak moment of Beigong, which will be unforgettable in my life.

"By God!" Bless you! 』

It seemed that such a voice was still echoing in Beigong's ears, but then...

Everything seemed to be in chaos.

First there were Han reinforcements from the west, and then they were defeated inexplicably!

Beigong still doesn't quite understand the reason why three thousand forwards fighting against one thousand Han cavalry couldn't survive for half a day, or even for an hour or two. Just like Beigong, he couldn't figure out why such a huge Qiang regiment collapsed after being raided by Han generals under Zhangye City!

Beigong always believed that the Han people were at the end of their tether. Even though he heard what the hussar generals were doing, and even saw what some of the hussar generals' cavalry were doing, he believed that he and the Qiang cavalry were the brave men and women of the north. A true martial and bloody man!

Beigong has always believed that as long as Zhangye is captured, the morale of the Qiang people can be improved. Then as long as the Qiang troops on the other side of the Qilian Mountains arrive, he can unite with the Western Qiang people on both sides of the Qilian Mountains and establish a The huge Qiang army, like a snowball, became the greatest Beigong in contemporary times and became the new Qiang King!

However, the Qiang people from the Qilian Mountains who were supposed to arrive long ago in the original plan did not arrive, and those who arrived in Zhangye turned out to be Han people!

Then, and then failed like that...

Thinking back to this day, Beigong still feels baffled and doesn't know what to say.

It's like a dream, from sweet dream to nightmare.

On the way to escape, Beigong recalled it over and over again and felt the heartbreaking pain over and over again.

It had been raining in the Qilian Mountains for the past two days and he was not allowed to move forward. Beigong even ran to the open air, roaring at the sky and the earth, roaring and crying, letting the rain fall on his body, mixing with the tears on his face.

The only remaining guards and tribesmen around him were also silent. Most of them were dejected, as if they had lost their souls. Only a few old people came forward to comfort him and said that he could still make a comeback and regain his strength.

But Beigong knew that everything had changed.

More than 10,000 people...

At its peak, Beigong himself commanded more than 10,000 people!

"More than 10,000 brothers, I originally... I originally wanted to take you..." Beigong murmured in his mouth, and finally yelled out under pressure, "By God - what did I do wrong?" What...』

The sound echoed in the rain.

It also echoes in the Qilian Mountains.

To use an old saying, the wheels of history rolled over Beigong's face without mercy, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only a deep car mark...
