Master Kong Zhongni

Chapter 215 Yun Boyu's Life Experience (3K)

Qu Boyu?
To Zaiyu and Zigong, this name is like thunder.

Qu Boyu, whose real name is Qu Yuan, styled Boyu.

Like Yanzi of Qi, he was also a veteran of the three dynasties, and served successively the three monarchs of Wei Xiangong, Wei Shanggong and Wei Linggong.

And the reason why his fame is spread all over the world has a lot to do with Wu's Yanling Jizi.

In order to abdicate the throne of Wu State, Prince Ji Zha of Wu State deliberately asked his elder brother Wu Wang Yu Ji to send envoys to various countries in the Central Plains.

When Ji Zha was sent as an envoy to Qi, he became close friends with Yanzi and reminded him to be careful of disasters.

In the state of Jin, he had a chat with his uncle again, and predicted that the great politics of the state of Jin might belong to the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei.

When he arrived in the state of Zheng, he hit it off with Zichan again. He also predicted that Zichan would take over the ruling of the state of Zheng, and encouraged him to work harder.

When Ji Zha was in Weiguo, he made friends with Yun Boyu, Shi Gou, Shi Yu, Gongzi Jing, Gongshu Ba, Gongzi Chao and others.

Before he left Weiguo, he made a special comment: Weiguo has many virtuous gentlemen, so there will be no disasters.

If someone else said this, it probably wouldn't matter much.

But if these words came from the mouth of Yanling Jizi, the meaning would be different.

First of all, Ji Zha resigned from the throne of Wu State three times, such virtue is beyond doubt.

And the friends who had been with Ji Zha in the past have also become important figures in the world, and his own prophecy has been fulfilled one by one and has never been miscalculated.

It can be said that anyone who can get a word of praise from Ji Zha must be a character, not to mention those who he considers to be gentlemen.

Ji Zha felt that Qu Boyu was a gentleman, and his master would use Qu Boyu as an example in his lectures, and people all over the world praised him as a man who "was born fifty but knew 49 years were wrong".

It means that Qu Boyu must reflect on his mistakes of the previous year every year and correct himself at all times.

But it is true to say so, but Zaiyu always feels that Mrs. Yun is a bit weird.

Because although this person can be called a gentleman who is diligent in government and loves the people, he is not a gentleman in the usual sense.

Jae Yu couldn't help laughing every time he read his resume.

Qu Boyu served in three dynasties, during which he encountered several civil strife.

However, Qu Boyu did not meddle blindly every time. Whenever there was turmoil, he would abandon his official position and slip out of Diqiu as soon as possible to prevent being implicated.

And when the turmoil subsides, if the king doesn't call Yun Boyu back, he will stay at home and enjoy himself.

If the monarch summons him back, he will obey his orders and use his idea of ​​"rule by law" to stabilize the people and clean up the mess left by the civil strife.

This is why the Master would praise him: Gentleman, Qu Boyu.If the state has the way, it will be an official.If the state has no way, it can be remembered.

Compared with Qu Boyu, Zaiyu's prudence and self-protection are nothing short of insignificant.

There is even a gap in grade between Yan Zi's "Immortal King" and Yun Boyu's "Dang Liu Ze Liu".

After all, this one is the one who can really afford and let go, who does things when he has the opportunity, and slips away when he has no opportunity to do things, and has no nostalgia for official salary or anything.

For such an interesting person, and a doctor of the state of Wei who understands Weihou's temper, Zaiyu certainly wants to pay a visit.

But he doesn't know Qu Bo Yusu, so how can we make him stop the car?
If you call him directly, since Yun Boyu is an elder and I am a junior, wouldn't that be too impolite?
Zaiyu rolled his eyes, and immediately thought of a good way.

He grabbed Zi Gong and Shen Shu and said to them: "Quickly, get out of the car and salute Master Yun together with me."

Zigong didn't understand why at first, but after thinking about it, he immediately understood what kind of bad water Zaiyu was turning over in his stomach.

"My son, I really have you! If you pass two people, you will be Shi, and if you pass three people, you will get off. A gentleman like Mrs. Yun can't even stop now."

The three of them came to the side of the road and bowed respectfully towards Yun Boyu's carriage.

Sure enough, Qu Boyu, who was originally sitting in the car, saw the three of them saluting, and immediately opened his mouth to give orders.

"parking."

Afterwards, the old man staggered out of the carriage with the support of the driver, and only when he stood still, he respectfully saluted them.

After finishing his salute, Yun Boyu was about to turn around and leave.

But how dare Zaiyu let this long-distance running champion board the car? If he doesn't see him today, what if Qu Boyu turns around and runs away again?
He hurriedly said, "I came here from the state of Lu to pay a visit, and I hope to inform you of my name."

Zi Gong and Shen Sui also hurriedly chimed in, "We are too."

When Qu Boyu heard this, he stroked his white beard and asked strangely.

"The three are gentlemen from the state of Lu? Am I lucky enough to know the names of the three?"

Zai Yu and others hurriedly replied.

"Zaiyu."

"Duanmuci."

"Shen Shu."

Although Qu Boyu didn't know Shen Shu's name, Zaiyu and Duanmu had heard of him.

Regardless of Zaiyu's defeat of the Qi army, just the achievements of him and Zigong in publishing books in the past two years are enough for Qu Boyu to know his name.

"Oh, I didn't expect to meet the three gentlemen here! You came to see me, what's the matter?"

Zaiyu replied with a smile: "I have encountered a difficult matter, and you are a respected elder in the world, so I hope you can help me solve the problem."

"Difficult?"

Qu Boyu frowned and thought for a while, related to the major events that happened in the Lu and Wei countries recently, and immediately guessed Zaiyu's intentions.

He humbly bowed and said: "I am ashamed to be highly respected, but I have indeed lived for a long time. If you are willing to listen to my life experience, I am also willing to tell you about it."

As soon as Zaiyu heard that Qu Boyu was willing to impart his life experience, he immediately had the feeling that the success rate of envoys to defend the country would increase by one.

He hurriedly asked: "My country suffered from a severe drought, and this year encountered a military disaster, so the king of our country sent me to go abroad to buy grain.

Now I am going to meet the seller, he has been humiliated by my colleagues, he has never let go of that incident, and his character is also difficult to understand.

I can use power to coerce him and force him to sell grain to our country, but this will deepen the past hatred and make it impossible to resolve.

But if I don't use this method, and I am worried that I won't be able to buy enough food, it will cause the people in the west of our country to suffer from hunger, and I will also be blamed for it.

From your point of view, what should I do? "

Qu Boyu is a smart man, of course he understands what Jae Yu means.

It's just that due to their identities, they can't tell each other clearly, they can only play charades with each other.

Qu Boyu just replied, "Haven't you heard the story of the mantis?
It stretched out its arms to block the path of the vehicle, but it didn't know that it couldn't do it, so it could only die under the wheel.

This is a story about overestimating one's ability and causing disaster!
So when dealing with this kind of thing, you must be prepared and treat it with care.If you think you can't do it, why don't you get off the road where the wheels drive? "

When Zai Yu heard this, he almost fell to the ground with black eyes.

As expected of a 'parkour expert', Wei Guo's well-known 'long-distance running champion', his suggestion is that if you can't do it, run quickly.

But since Zai Yu has already arrived here, it is naturally impossible for him to run away.

Besides, he can't run away now, he has to support the [-] households in Tuqiu, and the brothers of Confucius are also counting on hand in hand with him.

Hey, to put it bluntly, I still can't turn around like Yun Boyu!
Therefore, he could only continue to ask: "What you said is very reasonable, but I heard that since the bow has been drawn, the arrow must be shot.

Now that I have drawn the full bowstring, I am afraid there is no turning back. "

When Qu Boyu heard this, he pursed his lips and replied, "Have you heard the story of the man who kept the tiger?
People who tame tigers dare not feed them live animals, because tigers will arouse their anger when they see blood.

I also dare not feed it with whole animals, because the tiger will also arouse its viciousness if it shreds the food.

Only by feeding the tiger in a timely manner, so that the tiger's anger can be relieved, can the life of the tiger owner be preserved.

A tiger is completely different from a human, yet it knows how to please its owner. This is because the tiger owner obeys its temperament.

And other people will be killed if they come into contact with the tiger, because those who are killed are those who go against its temperament. "

When Zaiyu heard this, he roughly understood what Yun Boyu meant.

He is asking Zaiyu to always pay attention to Weihou's temperament, take care of his face, and not to mention those unpleasant things in the past.

These are actually quite basic etiquette, but Yun Boyu wanted to point it out specifically. It seems that the attitudes of the Jin and Lu countries towards the Marquis of Wei in the past two years, even the elder gentleman of the Wei country can't stand it. So much so that he had to tell Zaiyu specifically.

Zaiyu hurriedly expressed his heart to him, hoping to convey his sincerity to Marquis Wei through Yun Boyu.

"I've taken what you said to heart. Is there anything else I should pay attention to?"

Qu Boyu asked, "Have you notified him in advance that you want to visit?"

Only then did Zai Yu reply: "I have informed you of the news that I have brought the troops here, but I have not been conveyed about the visit."

Qu Boyu nodded when he heard the words, and replied: "Those who love horses use bamboo baskets for horse dung, and mirage containers for horse urine.

As a result, some mosquitoes and flies flew to the edge of the basket, but the timing of the horse lover's slapping the mosquitoes and flies was wrong, so the horse bit off the rein and kicked the horse breeder's head and chest.

Therefore, people's intentions and love have a certain limit, and may be misunderstood.

Not to mention, there was a rift between your country and him, so how can you be careless when you meet him?

Please find a post in Diqiu first, I will find a suitable time for you, explain your visit to him, and use this to resolve the old grievances between your country and him in the past . "
