Chapter 54: The Strategist
After sending Guan Che away, Jiang Yuetang asked Mei Xiang to help take down the books that Shangguan Che had just listed from the bookshelf. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Mei Xiang said to Jiang Yuetang while helping to remove the books on the shelf: "Young master, have you forgotten what your mother told you last time?"
Jiang Yuetang pretended not to understand.
Mei Xiang lowered her voice and said, "Your mother asked you not to allow Teacher Shangguan to get too close to you, and don't take the initiative to get too close to Teacher Shangguan, have you forgotten?"
The little guy pretended to suddenly realize 'oh', and then smiled: "Teacher Shangguan only touches my head occasionally, which is not a big deal. Besides, don't the elders often like to touch their heads when they see that the younger ones are doing well?"
"But Teacher Shangguan ...... you That doesn't feel like an elder to a junior?" Mei Xiang said, pouting.
Jiang Yuetang then said seriously: "I'm a boy in the family, can he have other ideas? I think you are too idle to think about these messy things." ”
Mei Xiang was choked by her words, so she had to stop her mouth.
But after a while, he couldn't help but say, "Anyway, you should pay attention in the future, otherwise Madam will be worried." ”
Jiang Yuetang glanced at her, reached out and patted her arm and said, "Well, I have my own measure." ”
There are more than 20 books of Confucianism, Taoism, and Law combined, not including those that have not been listed by Shangguan Che, so Jiang Yuetang has to read nearly two books a day on average if he wants to finish reading them before the 69 game.
In order to finish reading it as soon as possible, Jiang Yuetang took "The Analects" to the bed that night, and after lying down, he watched it by the light of the bedside lamp.
She couldn't bear to let go of the scroll at this glance, so she didn't go to sleep until she finished reading it, and the sky in the east was already slightly bright.
But even though she slept late, she woke up early the next morning and continued to read the books listed by Shangguan Che.
By the time the sun was in the west, she had already read three books, copied the sentences she thought were important, read them repeatedly, and marked the doubtful points so that Shangguan Che could ask him for advice when he came.
Shangguan Che came later than usual today because there were many things in the yamen.
Since he was late, he just ate some casual food and began to give a lecture to Jiang Yuetang.
Jiang Yuetang took out the "Analects" to ask him for advice.
"Teacher, in light of the meaning of the context, aren't these ten courtiers of King Wu very virtuous? How can King Wu call them 'chaotic ministers'?" the little guy asked Shangguan Che by pointing to a certain passage in the Analects.
Shangguan Che took a look and saw that it was "King Wu said: 'There are ten rebellious ministers. Confucius said: "It's difficult, isn't it? There are women, only nine. There are two out of three in the world, in order to serve Yin. Zhou Zhide, which can be said to be the most virtuous. In this paragraph, he replied: "Here, the chaotic ministers mentioned by King Wu do not refer to the chaotic ministers as we understand them, but to the ministers who govern the country, and 'chaos' here refers to the meaning of 'governance'. ”
"Oh. Only then did the little guy smile and ask, "Teacher, which ten of the ten courtiers of the Martial King refer to?"
Shangguan Che smiled and said: "It's Zhou Gongdan, Taigong Wang1, Zhao Gong Zheng, Bi Gong, Rong Gong, Yi Jiang, Hong Yao, Tai Dian, San Yisheng and Nangong Shi. ”
"Who is the woman in question?" asked the little fellow again.
"It's Yi Jiang, the daughter of Taigongwang and the wife of King Wu. ”
"Teacher, why did Confucius subtract her and admit the other nine?" the little guy wondered.
Shangguan Che looked at her and saw that she looked unhappy for Yi Jiang, so he said softly: "If you take it literally, 'There are women, and there are only nine people. This remark will indeed make the woman sound unpleasant, but he has also included her in the top ten capable ministers before, which shows that he still acknowledges her merits. He also said: "In ancient times, the status of women was not very high, maybe this is also a reason, and maybe he thinks that Yi Jiang manages the affairs of the palace, not the affairs of the court......" He thought for a while and did not say any more.
He noticed that the atmosphere was not quite right.
Obviously, although the little guy is calm on his face, he doesn't seem to be very happy in his heart.
Shangguan Che patted her on the shoulder and said, "Yueting, you really want women to get enough attention, don't you?"
"Of course. The little guy said without hesitation, and said: "If one day my ability is enough, I must apply for more opportunities for women to display their talents." ”
Shangguan Che smiled and touched her hand and said, "Teacher believes in you!"
He adjusted his sitting posture and said, "Come, let's start the lesson." ”
Jiang Yuetang immediately listened to it.
"Yueting, do you know what the role of a strategist is?" Shangguan Che asked, looking at her with a gaze full of tenderness.
The little fellow pondered for a moment, and replied, "For the good of the country, the monarch, and the people." ”
Shangguan Che said: "Yes, a person who can afford to give advice to the country and the people, he must be a person with a common heart and wisdom, such a person must not only be well-informed and knowledgeable, literary and martial, but also have a good psychological quality and the determination and courage to put it to death and then live, such a person is destined to live in a state of accepting challenges at any time for the rest of his life." ”
Jiang Yuetang looked at him and nodded solemnly.
In her impression, Jiang Chuanxiong has not had a few days of comfort. In the past, she only knew that he was busy, but now she can understand the burden behind this busyness.
"In the five countries of the Central Plains, the strategist is like the head of a country, shouldering the heavy responsibility of protecting the country and rejuvenating the country, it can be said that the strategist is a collection of mission, honor and disgrace and sacrifice in one, they should be determined to be a strategist from the day they should closely link their personal life and death and happiness with the country, and serve their country, the monarch and the people anytime and anywhere. ”
The little guy nodded and asked, "I heard Daddy say that some of the people who become strategists have made up their minds not to marry and have children since they were young, is this for this reason?"
"Yes. However, the state does not advocate that a strategist should not marry a wife and have children, after all, 'there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is greater', so the teacher does not recommend that those who aspire to be strategists make such a decision too early. ”
"Uh-huh. ”
"From the junior strategist to the top strategist, in addition to the different titles, their spiritual realms are also different, so the strategists are also divided into five realms. The first realm - seeking 'self', that is, achieving oneself first. A strategist should first have the ability and consciousness to save his life and live a productive and valuable life before he can seek other things. ”
