Wentang

Chapter 409 Wang Xuance

Yue Shan persuaded Pei Ju several times to write a book about what he had learned, especially the experience in diplomacy. At first, he refused to agree, but after being persuaded, he started to write a book.

These few vertical and horizontal books are what he has learned all his life.

What he didn't expect was that Pei Ju didn't pass these books on to his descendants, but gave them to him.

It can be seen from this that Pei Ju himself has never been able to face up to his own knowledge, and he does not want his descendants to learn his own things.

But Yue Shan did not have any prejudice. Diplomacy has always been a university subject, and there are too many diplomats worthy of being remembered in history.

Especially from Wan Qing to the period of the Republic of China, many patriotic diplomats emerged, using their own knowledge to safeguard the sovereignty of the country.

There is no distinction between high and low knowledge, as long as it can benefit the country and the people, it is good.Moreover, Yue Shan has already found suitable successors for these books.

Thinking of this, he called a staff member of the academy and ordered, "Go and find Wang Xuance."

The date of birth and death of Wang Xuance is unknown, but it is known that he was from Luoyang. He once served as the magistrate of Huangshui County, and was later promoted to be a doctor of Chaosan.What really made him famous was 'one man destroys the country'.

It's a pity that he is also the kind of person who flatters the horse's legs. Knowing that Li Shimin was superstitious about longevity in his later years, he sent several magic stick monks to the palace, and finally poisoned Emperor Taizong to death with small colored pills.

Affected by this, he was never reused in his life.There is not even a personal biography after his death, and the understanding of him by later generations is only a few fragments that are unclear.It also feeds a lot of people who have nothing to do.

Later generations have a lot of controversy about his "destruction of the country by one person". Some people say that he destroyed the country by one person can't be exaggerated.Some people said disapprovingly that what he destroyed was just a few small city-states, not as powerful as everyone boasted.

Yue Shan held the first opinion. No matter how big or small the country he destroyed was, it was still a country, a powerful country with tens of thousands of standing troops.

For those who hold the second opinion, he just wants to say, is it that difficult to admit that others are awesome?
If you were able to go to a third country alone after being robbed, you could borrow thousands of soldiers and horses by relying on your three-inch tongue.Can these borrowed soldiers obey their own words and then destroy a country with tens of thousands of standing troops?

So there are too many people in later generations who think they are great, point fingers at others, and think that others are nothing more than that.

Closer to home, as a time traveler, a time traveler who has already ascended to a high position, Yue Shan has the ability to take the initiative to find some talents that he thinks are worth cultivating.

For example, Su Dingfang and Liu Rengui were found by him on his own initiative, and Wang Xuance had already sent people to Luoyang to look for them.

In fact, most capable people showed extraordinary wisdom when they were young. This is the case with Wang Xuance, who is also a well-known young hero in the local area.The people sent by Yueshan found him easily.

At this time, Wang Xuance was only 16 years old, and his family was considered a gentry class, but not top class.He agreed to the invitation from the top dignitaries of the dynasty without even thinking about it.This time Weishui Academy recruited him, and he also came to sign up, and successfully passed the exam.

Originally, Yue Shan wanted to wait for a while to introduce him to Pei Ju, but the plan failed to keep up with the changes, and Pei Ju died.But fortunately, I stayed with what I learned.

Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Yue Shan raised his head and said.

The person outside the door came in, it was Wang Xuance.

"Wang Xuance has met the dean."

"Excuse me, Xuan Ce come and sit down."

"Thank you, Dean."

After Wang Xuance sat down, Yue Shan asked: "Xuance, how is the life in the academy? Can you adapt?"

"Go back to the dean, everything is fine, and I have learned a lot." Wang Xuance said respectfully.

"That's good, don't be cautious, I just want to chat with you casually today." Yue Shan said: "As the saying goes, there are specializations in the art industry. I don't know which knowledge you like the most?"

"Of course it's Huang Lao's study." Wang Xuance replied.

"I want to hear the truth." Yue Shan stared into his eyes and said.

"What the students say is the truth." Wang Xuance replied sincerely.

"Haha... Not bad, not bad, I didn't even blink my eyes when I lied, so I saw you right." Yue Shan suddenly laughed.

Wang Xuance was startled, his expression became very unnatural.At the same time, his mind was spinning rapidly. He didn't know where he had exposed his flaws. How could he see that his words were not what he meant?Could it be...

"Are you surprised how I guessed it?" At this time, Yue Shan's voice came just right.

Wang Xuance did not answer, but looked at Yue Shan with eyes full of curiosity.

"You are a pragmatist, you will not do something just because you like it. What can drive you is only what you think is the most beneficial thing for you." Yue Shan said bluntly:

"The sages criticize Confucianism and elevate Taoism, so you start to learn Huang Lao's learning and pretend to be a disciple of Taoism."

Having said that, he looked at Wang Xuance with a playful look, and said, "Am I right?"

Wang Xuance's face suddenly turned pale, he squeezed out a forced smile and said, "President, what are you talking about..."

Yue Shan interrupted him: "You want to refute me?"

Little sample, you still dare to pretend for me?If you didn't pick up all eighteen generations of your ancestors, do you think I would train you?

Not to mention anything else, just because you know that the Tianzhu monks are liars and you introduce them to Li Shimin, you are not a strong and upright person.

Don't think that I don't know what you think if you choose Huang-Lao School when you enter school.But after you were robbed, you didn't choose to escape alone, but borrowed troops to fight back to restore Datang's dignity, which shows that you are also a person with a bottom line.

As long as there is a bottom line, then everything else is easy to say.

"I..." Wang Xuance was at a loss for words, and he couldn't utter the words of defense later on.

At this time, deep fear also rose in his heart. He, Qing Shuihou, knew him too well, and he seemed to be stripped naked in front of him, as if he had no secrets to speak of.

"Don't worry, I didn't say that your thinking is wrong. Everyone has selfishness, and I have it too, so it's normal to choose what is best for you, and there is nothing wrong with it." At this time, Yue Shan changed his previous words. Sharp, said softly.

Wang Xuance couldn't believe it and said, "You really think so?"

"Of course, otherwise, why would I send someone to Luoyang to find you?" Yue Shan said, "But no matter what you do, you must have a limit. Once you exceed this limit, it will be a different situation."

"It's right to be a pragmatist, and it's also right to choose the path that is most beneficial to you. But you must have a bottom line, and you must have the most basic persistence in your heart. As long as you keep the bottom line, then nothing else is a big problem."

"Students dare to swear that they will never be unfaithful and unfilial." Wang Xuance was overjoyed at first, and then swore.

"Okay, I trust you. Here are a few books, take them back and read them carefully, and then come to me every day to explain your reading experience." Yue Shan handed him a few books and said:

"Remember, you can only see it for yourself, and you must not let others see it."
