Chapter 142

Shen Shu listened calmly, without any signs of getting angry.

It seems that being questioned about academic views, in his opinion, is just a common thing like drinking water and eating.

Fang Ziling's tone when he questioned was originally calm, it was just a purely academic discussion.But considering Shen Shuren's official position, she thought that the other party would be ashamed and angry, but she was so calm in the end, which made her a little embarrassed.

"Don't you think that these prophecies need to be revised?" Fang Ziling felt nervous and couldn't help asking.

Only then did Shen Shuren calmly smile: "Is there anything to change? I said that sooner or later there will be an annexation among the three thieves, and Li Zicheng has an advantage, but I didn't write when they will annex, and there is no deadline."

Fang Ziling was stunned for a moment, but the words were pushed cleanly enough, they were simply unnutritious words.She felt a little tricked, and added a little bit of anger:
"...Then, according to this, Brother Shen's opinion will never be wrong? If they don't plot against each other for ten years, they can't verify it for ten years?"

Shen Shuren took a sip of tea: "That's true, but, does Miss Fang really think that thieves can continue to run rampant for ten years? We will see the outcome at that time."

Fang Ziling raised his eyebrows and thought for a few seconds: "It's not unreasonable to delay for ten years. Zhang Ni, the thief, has been in trouble for 13 years. Who knows when peace will come."

Shen Shuren sneered: "How can this world survive ten years of repeated killings! Things will be reversed when extremes are extreme, and chaos will be united after a long period of time. My Ming Dynasty will definitely be revived."

The last few words of Shen Shuren belong to political correctness, and there is no excuse.

He can only say that in ten years, the world will be stable again.But in whose hands it will be settled, he dare not say, so he understates it with "necessary ZTE".

Fang Ziling is also a smart person, he knows the importance, and won't get entangled in those sensitive topics, so he tilted the building back:
"Since Brother Shen thinks that the world will not be in chaos for ten years, can you set a specific time limit for the previous hypothesis?"

When Fang Ziling asked this sentence, there was a kind of expectation in Fang Ziling's eyes that he hoped that the other party would retreat in spite of the difficulties.

She is not very familiar with Shen Shuren, she had only met him a few times before, and her understanding of him was mainly from reading his books, so she didn't have any grievances.

She also admitted that Shen Shuren was very thoughtful and occasionally had the ability to shock the world.But I still hope that the other party will be more modest and have a good reputation among scholars.

But Shen Shuren obviously didn't need a modest reputation.

It is necessary to become famous as early as possible, and those who are capable are eager to make meritorious deeds, so of course they will be crazy if they want to!

What's more, in this kind of private chat occasion, there is no need to consider the consequences.

Shen Shuren directly increased the weight and said proudly: "It's also easy. I think that if a thief tries to harm his comrades, it will take a few months at the fastest, and a year or two at the slowest. It will inevitably happen!"

Fang Ziling couldn't help being surprised when he heard this.

Why is this guy so crazy?Isn't he afraid of being ridiculed by the world after the prophecy goes through?

Fortunately, she reacted quickly and immediately realized that this was just a private chat and would not spread it.

She couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother Shen, sincerity is the most important thing in academic studies, bragging is meaningless. Do you really think so, or is it because you don't spread your word at the moment, no outsiders will hear it, and you won't be afraid of embarrassment in the future if you make a mistake?"

Shen Shuren flicked his sleeves: "There are too many people and few people, that's my opinion. If you had asked me earlier, I would have written it directly in "Talk of the Rogue". Strategies have also been adjusted."

Fang Ziling's level of astonishment couldn't help but refresh again, this guy dared to write anything in the book.

She was also a little screwed up, so she continued to fight:
"Brother Shen's self-confidence is something I have only seen in my life, and I admire it. Can you allow me to write down what I said just now? If it doesn't come true in the future, and this note is accidentally spread, Brother Shen won't blame my sister for not being so confident." cover it for you?"

"As you wish." Shen Shuren took another sip of tea indifferently.

Fang Ziling felt more and more unbelievable, scratching her heart like a hundred claws, and really wanted to know where Shen Shuren's self-confidence came from. She adjusted her mood and said in a relatively sincere tone again:
"Can I ask, how did you speculate? It can't be a wild guess, right?"

Shen Shuren calmly said: "It's not impossible to tell you the process of the strategy deduction, but the thief has not yet tried to harm his comrades. Some things are too clear. If it is leaked, wouldn't it cause the thief to respond in a targeted manner and delay the military plan?" ?

However, since you are the beloved daughter of Fang Futai, you are also considered as a family member of one of the great officials in the frontier, and you have a lot of reading experience, so you should not deliberately leak secrets.

If you really want to know, just swear a poisonous oath, and promise not to leak my analysis until the dust settles on this matter.If the two-year period expires and the intruders have not tried to harm my comrades, then it will be considered that my plan is not accurate, and this agreement is void, and I will spread it with you when the time comes. "

Fang Ziling felt that this was reasonable, so he agreed:

"Okay! I'll make a bet with you! No matter what you say for a while, I will only keep it in my heart, never leave any notes, and never spread it outside, until the two-year period expires, or this matter comes true. If you violate this oath ... I am like those foolish women who never study again for the rest of their lives!"

Shen Shuren listened to the solemnity of the first half of her speech, but he also praised it.

But the price of breach of oath really made him shine.

Even if he had been calm and relaxed tonight, he finally failed. He spit out a sip of tea and coughed again and again: "What kind of poisonous oath is this? Is it punishment if you don't study for a lifetime?"

Fang Ziling was a little overwhelmed by his sudden violent reaction:
"Is...isn't this price enough? Brother Shen, you are also a scholar from the top two rankings, and you are famous all over the world. You must be a student who is eager to learn. Don't tell me you can't understand the pain of not being allowed to study for the rest of your life?"

Shen Shuren was taken aback by the question, but he was too embarrassed to admit it, and unknowingly made up with each other:
"That's all, let's leave it at that. In my opinion, Li Zicheng hasn't tried to harm Luo Rucai and Ma Shouying now, but it was too smooth before, so there is no need to use thunderous means. He can use other methods to subdue and reduce internal friction, of course. It is also a pleasure to see.

However, it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.Especially this time when Luoyang fell, the tens of millions of taels of riches of King Fu and Luoyang gentry were obtained by robbers, and they were all used to buy people's hearts and recruit soldiers.

In just a few months, Li and Luo's soldiers and horses have grown from tens of thousands to more than 10.Ma Shouying also had nearly [-] people, including those who fled to join Ma Shouying after the rest of the Gezuo Fifth Battalion were destroyed.

After the thieves are established, they must have a long-term plan. The current attack on Kaifeng and the desire to capture the whole of Henan is the embodiment of the ambition of the thieves.If Li Zicheng could lead the thieves on the road of slaughtering and looting the rich vassals and expanding the army through war, he can certainly count on gradually peacefully buying and annexing the Roman and Ma subordinates.

But the imperial court and the local kings will also learn a lesson. This time, the king of Zhou has given out so much property to reward the army and let the officers and soldiers stick to it.Li Zicheng didn't know how to change, he just wanted to use the same old tricks he used in Luoyang to break Kaifeng again, and with the coming of winter, it would be unfavorable to attack, so the first battle would definitely be unfavorable!

After he was frustrated, internal voices of seizing power would definitely come one after another. By then, it would be too late for him to try to subdue Luo and Ma slowly. It could only be internal friction!And as long as the situation reaches this point, Luo and Ma have children and Li Zicheng has no children, and Li Zicheng can share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, his ability to buy people's hearts will definitely be better than the two thieves! "

Shen Shuren said these details without any psychological burden. After all, he could predict Li Zicheng's arrogance and complacency, and King Zhou's generosity of wealth.

These factors have not changed now. In history, it took Li Zicheng a year and a half and three fierce attacks to win Kaifeng. Of course, it will be difficult now.

History will not simply repeat itself.

Any commander who wishes to simply copy the successful experience of the previous battle, as long as the opponent knows how to learn the lesson, the copyer will generally suffer.

And once Li Zicheng's absolute authority is challenged again, how can he not kill people to unify the hearts of the people?

Fang Ziling was dizzy when he heard it. It was obviously a very mysterious bragging rehearsal, mixing the two logics of "from frugality to extravagance, and from extravagance to frugality" and "history will not simply repeat", using big words to play up , it seems to sound so reasonable again...

But she always felt that the reasoning should not be so conclusive, so specific and detailed.

At this moment, she has no way to refute, and can only verbally express her willingness to wait and see, wait for the results to come out, and see if it comes true, before deciding her attitude.

No matter how nice it sounds, if it cannot be realized, it will still be a slap in the face.

Shen Shuren didn't care whether to convince the other party right away, it was an academic discussion, and people had to bet him to play, so he just accepted it:

"You can think about it slowly, anyway, history will prove everything."

After chatting with Fang Ziling about his views on history and academics, the atmosphere eased a little, and the Fang family's dinner was ready.

Fang Kongzhang personally came to invite Shen Shuren to the table, and only then noticed that his daughter had been asking for advice and debate just now, so he quickly said a few words out of politeness, telling Shen Shuren not to mind.

"My nephew is laughing. My family's education is not stricter than those of Donglin's famous families. The old man is good at arithmetic and calendar. Quanzi and his sisters are also influenced by the old man. They like to argue with others. My nephew, don't take it to heart."

Shen Shuren responded with a smile: "It's okay, scholars all over the world must be humble, and such a foolish person who dares to speak and act like me is rare."

Fang Kongxuan saw that everyone was familiar with each other, so he didn't stop his daughter from attending the banquet, and everyone had the dinner together.At the banquet, Shen Shuren and Fang Ziling were also chatting and laughing freely, and they couldn't see the confrontation just now at all.

After the banquet, Fang Kongxuan left his daughter alone and asked her about the academic topics discussed today.Fang Ziling also kept his promise, and did not analyze the details of Shen Shuren, only saying that Shen Shuren dared to predict that the thieves would try to harm his comrades, and it was only within a year or two.

This conclusion naturally surprised Fang Kongxuan again.

He sighed rather helplessly: "Young people suddenly become famous and occupy high positions. They really feel that they are omnipotent, and they are considered as flawed. Ling'er, what do you think of this brother Shen Shi's character and talent?"
The Shen family and our family are more and more related now.His family is also the richest man in Suzhou, Shen Gong also mentioned the Minister of Nanjing Household Department, we can still talk about friendship on an equal footing, but in the future, we are afraid that our family will surpass their Shen family. "

Fang Kongxuan had never talked to his daughter like this before, and today he was obviously thinking about it, so he formally tried it out.

However, Fang Ziling bit his lip and said disappointedly: "Father, what are you talking about! Could it be that our family still clings to wealth? My daughter is still young, so I don't want to think about those things! Besides, what my daughter appreciates is a humble gentleman who seeks truth from facts. Those who are arrogant No matter how rich and powerful a person is, he is not a gentleman after all."

Fang Kongxuan frowned: "He may not be arrogant. Maybe he is really talented, far-sighted, able to strategize and win thousands of miles away?
Some words may sound like big talk to ordinary people, but as long as the person who said it can do it, it is not a big talk. "

Fang Ziling: "Then wait for time to prove that he is really accurate."

Fang Kongxuan couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly: "You will be seventeen after the new year! Back then, your elder sister was already married late, and she was married to the Sun's family at the age of 17. This kind of emotional dispute has to wait for proof, isn't it nonsense! Let's talk Now, if he really wants to have such a talent, he will definitely be Daming's giant, so it's our Fang family's turn!"

Fang Ziling: "If you don't get your turn, you won't get your turn. The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. My daughter just asks him for advice."
