Chapter 1173: The Most Beautiful Man in the World's Road to Power (4)
In troubled times, people who are highly respected in society are either heroes or celebrities.
Heroes pursue meritorious service, while celebrities pursue eternal fame.
With his body, he definitely can't be a hero.
Therefore, he wanted to be the best scholar in the world, and if he showed his strength first, the court would naturally invite him to come out.
Things progressed step by step towards the original plan. In the end, he relied on talking about poetry and wine with celebrities, talking about freedom and integrity, talking about mysteries and philosophy with casual talkers, and dealing with aristocratic families...
In short, he became famous in various circles, made famous people in the world his best friends, and finally became a famous figure in the world, and became an official in the court as he wished.
He served as an official for twenty years, and finally he was ranked as one of the Three Dukes, and his name is recorded in the annals of history.
Unfortunately, he worked hard all his life, but in the end he was unable to realize his wish to regain the Central Plains and unify the world.
But with his assistance, the Jing Dynasty achieved five great successes in the Northern Expedition, severely inflicting heavy losses on the barbarians of all ethnic groups who occupied the Central Plains, and almost regained the Central Plains.
In the south, there was a brief period of unification, and the political Qingming experience flourished.
When he was dying, he still pointed his hand in the direction of the north, warning future generations that they must work hard to enrich the country and strengthen the army, expedition to the Central Plains in the north, and regain the great rivers and mountains of the Han Dynasty...
Unfortunately, in the eighty years after his death, the Central Plains still fell, and the peace and tranquility in the south quickly collapsed and fell into various wars...
This is the identity of the original person in history. Although he left many regrets and unwillingness in the history books, he tried his best and lived up to his original intention.
However, as history developed, something unexpected happened when the original person was sixteen years old.
This accident is the heroine Cui Rong who traveled from later generations.
In later generations, the Internet was extremely developed, and in the era when Cui Rong lived, there was a fanatical pursuit and worship of the original era on the Internet.
But what they worship is not the splendid culture and art that burst out of the darkness of that era, nor is it the romantic celebrities who live in the swamp but transcend the world without following the rules of etiquette.
Tragic heroes of all walks of life who swallow thousands of miles like a tiger and throw a whip to cut off the flow of water...
What they admire is that men in this era regard softness as beauty, and men can be with men.
The two most widely spread sentences are:
——That dynasty was absurd and beautiful. Boys regarded softness as their beauty. Girls could go into battle to kill enemies. Boys and boys could be together. Girls and girls could also have love. In that dynasty, even God agreed.
them.
——I want to go to that era and see the beauty of men in softness, the heroic appearance of women on the battlefield, and the divine love recognized by heaven and earth.
The heroine Cui Rong is also a supporter of this trend.
She cannot know the darkness and horror of this era through a few strokes in history books, and she is usually too lazy to really delve into the real absurdity and beauty of this era.
Anyway, through the descriptions of some marketing accounts and TV series, I superficially think that this is an era of great splendor, open-mindedness, and extremely high status for women...
So she dreams every day, thinking about how great it would be if she could travel to this era and reap the love of gods...
Then she really traveled through time, and with great luck, she transformed into the five-year-old Cui Rong, the direct daughter of the Cui family in Qinghe.
Cui Rong was simply overjoyed. It goes without saying how many things she did during this period using some of the knowledge from later generations.
Let’s talk about her entanglement with the original person.
Cui Rong, who doesn't realize how terrible this era is, just wants to grow up quickly and have an earth-shattering love affair with various romantic figures of this era.
At this time, the original man, the most beautiful man in the world, naturally entered her field of vision.
When Cui Rong saw the original person, her saliva started to flow. She was completely smitten and vowed to marry the original person in this life.
But the original person, who is really in the whirlpool of this era and has great ambitions, has no time for love, not to mention that he already has a fiancée.
He had no interest in Cui Rong at all, and he did not want to achieve the goal of becoming an official in the court by clinging to the Cui family.
Because relying on an aristocratic family is not as reliable as building a reputation step by step on your own.
You must know that although the Cui family is an aristocratic family, its reputation is not very good. If he marries the daughter of the Cui family and rises to great success, it is equivalent to telling the world that he has bowed to the world.
In this way, he not only betrayed the side of the romantic celebrities, but also betrayed the scholars of the world...
If these scholars slander him, his good reputation for hard work will be lost.
So he kept rejecting Cui Rong, but Cui Rong pressed her step by step, and finally used the power of the Cui family to force him to marry her.
The original person still refused, and the final outcome was that his fiancée Yun Niang died tragically because of Cui Rong, and the few remaining members of his hometown Guangling were also wiped out by the Cui family.
But Cui Rong said it had nothing to do with her?
From that time on, Gu Ziji's ambition was to regain the Central Plains, and destroying the Cui family became Gu Ziji's goal.
He has been forbearing and his reputation has become more and more famous. Cui Rong is afraid...
Although she didn't know much about history, how could she not know how powerful Gu Ziji, a historical figure who was written down in junior high school textbooks, would be in the future?
She also knew how terrifying Gu Ziji's treatment of his enemies was after he became an official.
Now that she can't get Gu Ziji, how can she watch Gu Ziji become a celebrity in history and then take revenge on herself?
So Cui Rong used the history she knew and the absolute advantage of her position to shoot Gu Ziji to death on the beach before Gu Ziji could completely become famous.
During this period, because of the official selection system of the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System, if you wanted to be recommended as an official, you had to have prestige and reputation, so scholars competed for fame.
As a result, there emerged some professional masters who appraised the merits and demerits of characters. They were good at knowing people, had knowledge of others, and had a moral appreciation. They were called masters of appreciation.
One word from the most famous tasting master can completely determine a person's future. If he says "Hello", you will be known to the whole world overnight, and you will rise to the top the next day.
If you say something bad about you, the next moment you will be in disrepute and have no future.
Reputation can be made or broken by a few words.
This is the reason why Gu Ziji is obsessed with fame, and Cui Rong has worked hard on it.
She asked the most famous tasting master in Jiankang City at that time to give Gu Ziji a derogatory comment, saying that Gu Ziji had a false plan and had evil intentions. If he became an official in the future, he would definitely be a villain in the officialdom.
Then Gu Ziji's future stopped there. He was ostracized by celebrities all over the world, and his ordinary words and deeds were misinterpreted because of that comment.
But he still refused to give up and continued to work hard.
As a result, the harder he worked, the more he was suppressed. He died of illness before he was twenty-five years old.
