Chapter 169: There can be no intersection
The afternoon exam ended in a tense and depressing atmosphere. Gong Xiping still adopted the same strategy as in the morning, entering the examination room until the exam was about to take the exam, and then handing in the paper one hour earlier. In this way, you can meet as few others as possible, so as to avoid those girls who are sought after by Gong Xiping as a star.
Because he made an appointment with Xi Yuling and the others to meet in the library, he went to the library in advance. However, because they came too early, Xi Yuling and the others had at least 1 hour to finish. Therefore, Gong Xiping borrowed a copy of "Sun Tzu" to read.
In fact, there are not many types of books he likes to read, most of them are history books, or some ancient books or classical Chinese. Sometimes I read some books about military affairs, and occasionally I read some weapons magazines. Other than that, he had never read any other kind of book.
"Soldiers, treacherous."
Gong Xiping opened "Sun Tzu", and the first sentence came into view. For this sentence, which can almost summarize the entire "Sun Tzu", Gong Xiping sometimes has to give a thumbs up and admire the wisdom of the ancients. Although the ancients were limited by the development of science and technology, many things in terms of world view were inferior to modern people. However, when it comes to wisdom, especially in language, modern people are far inferior to ancient people.
Because of the limitations of carriers and media, the ancients were often forced to express very rich truths in very few words. Therefore, concise and profound classical Chinese appeared. Classical Chinese can often use the most concise words to express very complex philosophies and ethics. This is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients in terms of language.
Therefore, for the literary language that can interpret the spirit of the entire "Sun Tzu" with 5 simple words, Gong Xiping admires the five-body casting.
Although he has watched "Sun Tzu" hundreds of times, every time he watches it, he will have different experiences and experiences. Therefore, although he could almost memorize it backwards, he still began to read "Sun Tzu" very seriously and carefully.
I was looking at it seriously, but I heard a voice with a slight disgust in indifference say: "I actually met here, and I really carried it home today!" ”
Gong Xiping looked up and saw a beautiful and delicate girl, with disgust on her face, looking at herself coldly. This beautiful girl with a short ponytail and eyes like ice is none other than Li Mengjie, the labor commissioner of Gongxiping's class.
For some reason, Li Mengjie seems to have always harbored a deep hostility towards Gong Xiping, and has always shown great dislike for him. Maybe it's the incompatible relationship between the two people, Li Mengjie always likes to pick Gong Xiping's thorn and grab his handle. The last time I went to Yandang Mountain, Li Mengjie made a small report to Gong Xiping behind her back, and also instigated Duanmu Jiao to severely punish Gong Xiping. Gong Xiping didn't know how he offended the labor commissar and made her hate herself so much.
Gong Xiping actually didn't have a good impression of Li Mengjie. The girl always looked cold, and seemed to be hostile to anyone or anything around her. The only person who could talk to her was Xi Yuling, who was as soft as water.
Gong Xiping glanced at Li Mengjie and did not answer, but continued to look down at his "Sun Tzu".
Li Mengjie saw that Gong Xiping ignored her, so she snorted coldly. Her gaze swept over the book Gong Xiping was reading, and she said contemptuously: "Just a person like you, you actually read "Sun Tzu"? Do you want to learn the strategies inside to chase girls, or do you deliberately pretend to be Sven to attract girls' attention? ”
Gong Xiping put down the book, looked at Li Mengjie, and said lightly: "Don't think everyone is so dirty. I'm just reading a book to pass the time. Moreover, "Sun Tzu" is all about strategy and tactics, and it has nothing to do with chasing girls. What's more, at this time, there are no girls in the library. ”
Li Mengjie glanced at what Gong Xiping was looking at with her eyes, and said with a little disdain: "Crooked reasoning, no wonder Xiao Yu was fascinated by you." If you really want to pass the time, there are a lot of books here, why only read "Sun Tzu"? ”
"Because I think every time I watch "Sun Tzu", I can have a different experience."
"Every time? Have you seen it many times? ”
"I can't say a lot, but I've seen it a few times."
Li Mengjie showed a sneer and said, "Since you have studied "Sun Tzu", then let me ask you, what are you watching now?" ”
Gong Xiping glanced at the content of the page and said, "It is one of the life stories of Sun Tzu, Wu Gong teaches to fight and kill Mei Ji." ”
Li Mengjie was stunned for a moment and said, "When did "Sun Tzu" have this kind of content? ”
Gong Xiping explained: "This is a revised version, not the original. The revised edition is mostly the original content, with additional notes, and of course some stories about Sun Tzu's life and related strategies. ”
Li Mengjie nodded, indicating understanding. She pondered for a moment, then said, "Then, let's talk about this sect and slashing Mei Ji." I've read this story three times, and every time I read it, I increase my disgust with my grandson as a person. Could it be that in order to establish his prestige and show his ability in front of King Wu, he did not hesitate to kill two defenseless weak women? Sun Tzu is not only hypocritical, but also cruel! ”
Gong Xiping listened to Li Mengjie's words, and couldn't help but have some new understanding of this beautiful labor commissioner. Although she didn't deal with herself, after listening to her analyze her grandson's opinion on Wu Gongjiao's battle and beheading Meiji, Gong Xiping found that she had a surname. Moreover, it is still a different and more alternative surname.
Almost all scholars and experts have a positive view of this story. Because from a macro perspective and the historical background at that time, Sun Tzu's approach was completely correct. Moreover, Sun Tzu also explained afterwards why he wanted to kill King Wu's Aiji. So, from the perspective of war alone, Sun Tzu is right. However, as Li Mengjie pointed out, if you look at it from the perspective of surnames, the grandson is indeed a bit cruel. At least, he didn't treat others with respect and didn't treat women fairly. From this point of view, Sun Tzu is not right.
Gong Xiping thought for a moment and said, "Your point of view is quite special, and it is not the same as the point of view I have heard. However, I do think that if you look at the problem from a different angle, you will come to different conclusions. For example, let's talk about Qin Shi Huang, who finally unified China during the Warring States. For the people of Qin, he was a great emperor and an emperor with great achievements. But for the people of the other six countries, he is the demon king, the demon king who destroys his own country. So, your point of view is only from a personal point of view, from the point of view of the person's surname. However, history is a macro subject, and you can't just look at a problem from one angle, or look at a person, you have to look at it from different angles. In this way, we can get a more complete picture. ”
After listening to Gong Xiping's words, Li Mengjie said with some unconvincing: "What you say is the same as those historians, it is ambiguous. I don't say who is good and who is bad, I just know that we have to look at the problem separately, there are good and bad. I think this is a very hypocritical view. Sun Tzu is a hypocrite, a war maniac who is eager for success. ”
Gong Xiping looked at Li Mengjie, and suddenly found that this girl who was as cold as ice had such an extreme thinking. It is true that she has her own unique opinions and opinions, but at the same time, she also thinks very extremely. Gong Xiping doesn't know what she has experienced on the road of growth, but such an extreme view of the problem will have a great impact on her judgment, so that the world view will be biased.
Gong Xiping thought for a while and said: "Actually, in this story, if you really want to say who did wrong, or who is the bad guy, it is undoubtedly King Wu. ”
Li Mengjie was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?" ”
"For two reasons. First, although he kept saying that he liked these two Ai Ji very much, he still let his grandson come to practice them, which shows that fundamentally, King Wu has never paid attention to them. Second, it was not Sun Tzu who killed these two unarmed poor women, but King Wu. It was precisely because King Wu took the matter of leading troops to fight too much that his two Meiji died. So, it was King Wu who really did something wrong. ”
Li Mengjie was stunned when she heard this, and after thinking for a long time, she reluctantly said, "You ...... You're a strong argument. ”
Gong Xiping shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you think I'm a strong argument, then what point of view do you use to refute me?" ”
"This ......," Li Mengjie thought for a while and said, "However, King Wu didn't want to see his grandson because of the death of the two beautiful women, and he was very angry. As the king of a country, being able to treat two women like this shows that King Wu is a person with a surname. ”
However, as soon as his grandson explained to him later, didn't he forgive his grandson and worship him as a general? It can be seen that King Wu is actually just playing a trick. He wants his grandson to know one thing, he is the king, he is the one who has the final say. Moreover, he also took the opportunity to knock on his grandson, don't think that you can do whatever you want if you have the ability. That's all. ”
"You ......" Li Mengjie was a little unconvinced by Gong Xiping's opinion, but she couldn't refute it. Moreover, what Gong Xiping said seems to be reasonable, and there is no room for refutation.
Gong Xiping saw that Li Mengjie was staring and couldn't say a word for a long time, so he smiled and continued to look down at his book.
Li Mengjie saw Gong Xiping looking down at the book again, and no longer paid attention to her, her face changed again and again. Eventually, she gritted her teeth, stomped her foot hard, turned and walked towards the innermost part of the library.
After Li Mengjie left, Gong Xiping looked up at her back and couldn't help sighing. may be because she only knows how to read books all day long and rarely communicates with others, so there are certain deviations in her behavior and thoughts. Therefore, she is cold and wary of the people and things around her all day long. I don't know if it's because of the surname or the day after tomorrow, in short, Li Mengjie gives people the feeling that it is difficult to get along with and difficult to approach.
However, Gong Xiping didn't think about getting close to her, let alone correcting her behavioral deviations. Gong Xiping always believes that the trajectories of his and Li Mengjie's lives and behaviors are like two parallel lines, and they can never intersect.
