Master Kong Zhongni

Chapter 214 Wei Duo Gentleman, His Country Has No Reason (3K7)

The army of Lu marched to Huize on the outskirts of Diqiu. Looking north from the hills near Huze, the towering city walls of Diqiu, the capital of the Kingdom of Wei, were clearly visible.

In order to prevent diplomatic accidents, Zaiyu ordered the thousands of Lu troops who came with him to camp and rest at a place with lush water and grass in Yanze.

And he himself took Zigong and other Lu diplomats to Diqiu to ask to see Marquis Wei.

There are two main reasons why Jai Yu is so careful.

First, because this mission is of great importance, and he is the main ambassador. If something goes wrong, he must bear the main responsibility.

Before leaving, the master also told him: "A person who is clever and likes to limit is sure to be firm. A person who is brave and questionable is sure to succeed. A person who is smart and likes to plan is sure to be successful.

Give!You can win the battle precisely because of these three points!

As for the stupid, they behave just the opposite.

It is the nature of a fool to be favored in a high position, but to be jealous of a sage.

But there are always few gentlemen in the world, and stupid people occupy the majority

Therefore, a high status is dangerous, and a heavy responsibility is easy to collapse. This situation may appear quickly, so you must be careful. "

The master's words were already very clear, and it was obviously telling him that someone in the country of Lu was jealous that Zaiyu was climbing too fast, so they planned to trip him up secretly.

The reason why these people didn't take the lead now was because Zaiyu was too popular now and had just made great achievements, so it was not easy to make trouble.

And once he messed up his mission, what awaited him would be wave after wave of counterattacks.

But then again, he does have a lot of braids.

In other words, if you want to make some achievements in the local area these days, it is impossible to do without braids.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that some of the items in the Zhou Rites have not kept up with the development of the times, so any doctor who wants to manage the place well must never avoid the reform of the ritual system.

But the problem is that for the Shiqing family like Sanhuan, if they want to carry out reforms, they can directly get express orders from the monarch.

To put it bluntly, he was ordered to reform, with the endorsement of the Lu State Office.

But a weak doctor like Zaiyu can only do it secretly.

Usually when everyone gets along well, you can turn a blind eye to it.

But once the relationship deteriorates, it will be a big hat for violating etiquette. If you want to punish you, you have no place to complain.

Now that Yang Hu is in power, the Ji family basically supports Jae Yu unconditionally.

The relationship between Mengsun Heji and him is also very harmonious, so Meng's attitude towards Tuqiu is also very friendly.

As for Shusun Zhouchou, he and Zaiyu have no grudges or grudges. Since two of the three Huans support Zaiyu, then our Shusun family should obey the majority!

It was precisely because of Sanhuan's attitude that Zaiyu was able to survive two years in Tuqiu smoothly.

But if their attitudes change one day, Zaiyu will be placed in a place of injustice in an instant.

Whenever Jae Yu thinks of this, he can't help sighing: "In the final analysis, the right to interpret benevolence and righteousness is not in my hands yet!"

As for the second reason why Zaiyu was cautious when he was sent to Weiguo, it was because Yang Hu had offended Marquis Wei so much in the past.

More than two years ago, in order to cooperate with Jin State to attack Zheng State, Yang Hu led his army through Wei State to attack Zheng State.

Logically speaking, this is just a matter of taking a note to Marquis Wei and asking for a way.

But the problem is that Yang Hu not only used Wei Guo's Zhou Dao without asking Wei Guo for an excuse, but what made Wei Hou even more annoyed was that when Yang Hu's squadron returned to China, he not only passed Wei Guo again, but also directly let Lu The army crossed the Weidu Diqiu.

This approach is too arrogant.

When Marquis Wei heard the news, he angrily ordered the doctor Mi Zixia to lead the army to chase after Yang Hu, planning to directly start training with the Lu army in Tunze.

Marquis Wei spoke out directly.

The general meaning is that none of us should ask for foreign aid, just touch with real swords and guns. Could it be that Yang Hu of Lu State is really bullying us and defending our country?
And the reason why there was no fight later was thanks to Gong Shuba, a veteran minister of the Wei Kingdom.

In fact, this matter should not have been extubated by the uncle.

Because of his old age and bad legs and feet, he asked Marquis Wei for orders a few years ago and retired.

Usually, this veteran cadre of the Wei State lives in Diqiu, reading books and reading newspapers, taking care of his life, and waiting for the arrival of death.

When the old man heard the news that Marquis Wei was going to bump into Yang Hu, and there was no one to dissuade him in the country, he was so shocked that he hurriedly called his servants, and he didn't even have time to prepare the horses that pulled the cart, so he just let the servants pull him. The car took him to Weiguo Palace to meet Marquis Wei.

When the old man saw Marquis Wei, he said straight to the point: "It is not proper to resent others and imitate them.

In the past, when Lu Zhaogong was in exile, you, my lord, were going to use the Shu Ding of the former monarch Wengong, the treasure turtle of Chenggong, and the Sianjian of Dinggong as rewards. If someone can send Lu Zhaogong back to the country, you can choose any one of these treasures. .

He also promised that if the princes are willing to worry about Lu Zhaogong, then your son and the sons of our ministers can send them to the other country as hostages to show your determination.

These are what the ministers have heard about your kindness to the State of Lu.

Now you are going to use a little resentment to cover up the kindness of the past. I'm afraid it's unreasonable, isn't it?
Among the sons of Taisi (the wife of King Wen of Zhou), only Duke Zhou, the ancestor of Lu State, and Uncle Kang, the ancestor of Wei State, were in harmony with each other.

But now, you want to follow the actions of the villain and lose the harmony of the past. Isn't this a trick of the villain?
Now Yang Hu is so rude, but he doesn't know it.This is Heaven's desire to increase his sins and cause him to perish.

The monarch might as well just wait and see what happens to him, what do you think? "

Uncle Gong has said so much, and it can be summed up in the following three points.

First, Yang Hu broke the etiquette and ate 'Ollie'. You can't follow his example by eating 'Ollie', can you?

Second, Lu and Wei have been on good terms for generations, so we can't ruin a pot of porridge just because of Yang Hu's rat shit.

Thirdly, a cheap person has his own rewards, let him continue to be crazy, we don't deal with him, some people deal with him.

Wei Hou thought about what Uncle Ba said carefully, and felt that it made sense.

Besides, even if he had a battle with Yang Hu, he would be angry if he won, but it is inevitable that the Lu and Wei countries will turn against each other.

And if you lose, it will be even more embarrassing.

Instead, it's better to just ignore Yang Hu, anyway, if he did such a thing, all sensible people in the world would know who was wrong.

In addition, Uncle Ba is so old, in order to speak out for the country, he even came to see him in a small "cart" pulled by people in a hurry.

The old man is so loyal to the country, it is really unreasonable not to adopt his suggestion.

So in the end, Marquis Wei had no choice but to swallow the bad breath.

But Wei Hou swallowed his anger and returned to swallow his anger. Based on Zaiyu's understanding of him, it is highly unlikely that Wei Hou would forget about this matter.

This can be seen from his attitude towards Jin over the past few years.

Marquis Wei wanted to jump back to Qi's camp, after all, wasn't it because Jin was rude to him, and even humiliated him in league meetings many times?
To put it bluntly, this is a man with a good face.

If Zaiyu can't calm him down in advance, and Wei Hou remembers the past humiliation at the alliance meeting and suddenly gives him a whole job, then Zaiyu can't stand it.

While thinking about it, Zaiyu had already arrived at the foot of Diqiu.

He looked around at the flow of people around Diqiu, and was shocked by the prosperity here for a moment.

Although the state of Wei was once very prosperous, Wei Wugong not only helped the people of the Zhou royal family to expel the violent King Li of Zhou, realized the "Zhou Zhao Republic", but also opened the first exact date in Chinese history - the Republic.

The first year of the realization of the "Zhou Zhao Republic", that is, 841 BC, is also known as the first year of the Republic.

The word "He" for the republic is also taken from Wei Wugong's name "He".

The meaning of Zhou Zhao Gonghe is that the two officials of the emperor Zhou Dinggong, Zhao Mugong and Weiwu Gongweihe jointly acted on behalf of the emperor.

This is the earliest republican administration in Chinese history.

Later, the Zhou royal family fell into chaos, and it was Wei Wugong who led the army to help the royal family quell the chaos, and assisted King Ping of Zhou to complete the feat of moving east.

In order to repay Wei Wugong's kindness, King Zhou Ping directly promoted Wei Wugong to Duke when he was alive to commend his achievements.

Although the ancestor of the Wei State was prominent for a while, since the disaster of Duke Yi of Wei, all the territory of the State of Wei in the north of the Yellow River has been lost.

Despite the unremitting efforts of Wei Wengong, who succeeded to the throne, he cleaned up the mess left by Wei Yigong, restored the Wei State with only [-] troops to a medium-sized country with [-] military vehicles, and annexed the land of Xing State to expand. The territory was expanded, and the national strength was enhanced.

But no matter what, Wei Guo kept a low profile and recuperated for decades, after all, he missed the golden period of the development and expansion of Zhuxia countries.

And when they looked back, the land that Duke Wei Yi had lost to the Rong people had already been occupied by the Jin State, and it was basically tantamount to nonsense to ask for it back.

Therefore, the Wei people can only accept the helpless fact that the Wei country can only be regarded as a third-rate country.

Therefore, in Zaiyu's imagination, Diqiu, the capital of Weiguo, should not be too big.

However, the scale of Diqiu in front of him is no less than that of Qufu, the capital of the Lu Kingdom, and it is even more prosperous in business and trade.

This made him scream in surprise, and immediately quoted a sentence from "Yiji" in "Yu Shu" to express his thoughts.

"Happy thighs! Head rise up! Baigong Xi!"

(The ministers are happy to do things, the king is motivated, and all industries will prosper)

And Zi Gong, who was a guard, couldn't help but fart when he heard Zai Yu praise Di Qiu.

"Hmph! You still have some vision.

The reason why Diqiu is called Diqiu is because it is the residence of Zhuanxu, the five emperors in ancient times.

During Emperor Shun's reign, the merchant's ancestor Qi lived here.

And when the Xiahou clan was in power, the Kunwu clan lived here.

Although Qufu also has a long history, Emperor Qiu is not bad at all. The two cities are also older than Linzi.

As far as commercial workshops are concerned, Diqiu has even more types of commodities than Qufu. "

Jai Yu frowned when he heard this.

"What do you mean? Comparing business with Qufu and history with Linzi, how can you still play like this?"

When Zigong heard this, he also realized that he seemed to have double standards.

He hurriedly blushed back and added: "The master said: 'Getting along with good people is like entering a house with herbs. If you can't smell the fragrance after a long time, it means that you have merged with the fragrance.

And getting along with unkind people is like entering a fish shop. After a long time, you can't smell the smell, which is assimilated.

The container of cinnabar will turn red, and the container of lacquer will turn black, so a gentleman should choose carefully who he gets along with. '

I became like this because I don't know who to choose! "

Yin and Yang me?
Didn't I just lock you up in the classroom for a few days?
As for...

Zaiyu retorted and said: "I used to hear the master explain the two hexagrams "loss" and "yield" in "Yi".

The Master said: What you decrease will definitely increase, and what you increase will definitely decrease.

Therefore, it is said that those who learn should reduce what they already have, and accept others' advice with an open-minded attitude, in order to achieve perfection.

According to the law of all things, things will definitely change after they are completed, and the perfect state cannot be maintained for a long time.

It is precisely because of this that the Master said: A person who thinks he is a virtuous person will not hear the good words in the world, but he will remember all the words that damage morality. "

When Zi Gong heard this, he was about to refute.

Suddenly there was a carriage bell ringing, he and Zai Yu looked in the direction of the bell, and found that sitting on the carriage was an old man with a fluttering white beard.

Next to Zaiyu was an official who had been sent to defend the country. When he saw the old man, he immediately asked Zaiyu, "Doctor, do you want to go up and pay a visit?"

Zaiyu asked strangely, "Do you know this old man?"

The little official laughed and said, "It's not just acquaintance! This one is the gentleman of Wei, the senior doctor Yun Boyu!"

　When I meet my favorite monthly pass and pass by with a blank face, it's all my good-faith pretense.
