Chapter 085: It's Done
Zhao Yu is really speechless, and he is determined to be a 'bad guy', which can scare the two old men a lot. This kid is only six years old and has already tossed such a big thing, if he really becomes a bad person, he will not be able to harm the whole world. At that moment, he took turns to do ideological work for His Royal Highness, from the three emperors and five emperors, Lao Tzu, Sun Tzu and Confucius, and finally talked about the rural masters. In short, it is just for him to learn well, and the two of them seem to have forgotten the dispute just now and why they came.
"Sir, this king recently reviewed the Analects, and there is something unclear in it, can you clear up your doubts?" Seeing that the two of them were talking about dry mouths, they stopped and poured tea for them.
"Your Highness, please speak." Ying Jieyan listened and quickly put down the cup in his hand, and sat down in a precarious manner, saying that it was the first time he had fulfilled the responsibility of a master when he entered the mansion, and with his experience, His Royal Highness would never be untargeted, so he couldn't help but be vigilant, wondering what kind of moth this kid was going to play.
"Zi said: luxury is not grand, thrift is solid. Rather than inferior, Ninggu. What do you mean? Zhao Yu said.
This sentence is from the Analects? It means that if you live a luxurious life, you will be arrogant and unhumble, and if you are thrifty, you will be lonely and stubborn. In comparison, it is better to be lonely and stubborn than to be arrogant and not modest, that is, thrift can cultivate virtue, and luxury can defeat virtue. Ying Jie Yan explained.
"Hmm!" Zhao Yu nodded to show that he understood, and didn't say much, and then asked, "You don't get tired of eating, and you don't get tired of being fine." What do you say? ”
This sentence is from the Analects? Township Party", which means that the more delicate the grain, the better, and the finer the meat, the better. Your Highness understands? Ying Jieyan replied, but for a moment he couldn't understand why His Highness would put two unrelated words together and ask questions.
"Okay, the meaning is clear, but there is still confusion." Zhao Hao said with a smile.
"Your Highness, just ask!" Ying Jieyan knew that the play was coming, and cheered up and said.
"The sage taught the world in the first part to live frugally, to live within one's means, and not to be extravagant. However, his own food is required to be exquisite, not too cumbersome, is not a contradiction, this king thinks that he is suspected of deceiving the world and stealing his name. Zhao Yu said with a smile.
"This ...... Your Highness must not comment like that!" His Royal Highness's words startled Ying Jieyan, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. But Confucius was a Confucian sage, and he was the co-teacher of these scholars, and if he deceived the world and stole his name, wouldn't everyone become the disciples of this 'bad guy', and they could only stop the Tao first.
"Your Royal Highness, Zhu Zi once commented on this: The sage eats like this, not the appetite of the extreme, covering the gas, not to hurt the life, as it should be. However, the saints do not eat, and those who are poor may eat it, and their desires are victorious and they do not have time to choose. It's not what His Highness thinks. "Jiang Wanzai still reads a lot, and I think of the explanations of later generations.
The comments of later generations are not enough evidence. In history, the saint only served as an official for three years, and did not receive some courtesy until his old age. Therefore, in terms of its status and dietary life in the country, it should be no different from ordinary people, and its half-life diet is only a full stomach. And what Zhu Zi said mostly meant to cover up and defend, but even if he thought it was covered, he didn't dare to be sure whether his statement was correct. Moreover, Zhu Zi has only been dead for a hundred years, and his actions are still known, and his virtue ......" Zhao Yu refused to agree, and continued, but he was interrupted before he finished speaking.
Zhao Yu knew that he was a few pounds and a few taels, and what he said was actually taken out of context, and he couldn't stand scrutiny and verification, so he just wanted to beat them up with a blockbuster, or he would be timid to talk about the classics with two old bookbags with real talents. And this sophistry skill was still practiced when he was a moderator, otherwise how could he block the attack of those hardcore trolls, but now he has to use it against these two ancients. Thinking about why it was so difficult to do something by himself, and he had to make a big detour with them about something that was originally very simple, he couldn't help but feel a little stunned.
"Your Highness, if you have something to say, you must not slander the saint." Jiang Wanzai has already heard it, and the subtext of His Royal Highness's words just now is that Confucius is too poor and can't afford to eat well, but he can only live a 'thrifty' life for the sake of face, and he is actually just a hypocrite. That Zhu Xi is a person from this dynasty, and he did do some misconduct back then, and now he is respected as a great Confucian, which has political reasons. But it's really hard to refute His Highness's words, and it's even worse to spread them, thinking that His Highness must have something to say about these two, so he simply interrupted him.
"Hehe, what this king means is that saints also have seven emotions and six desires, and it is not a big deal to want to eat well, but it is not intended to slander." Zhao Yu said with a smile, now the goal has been achieved, and the current world is the world of scholars, and digging their ancestral graves by themselves is to be the enemy of the world, so they will accept it when they see it and take the initiative to apologize.
"So much the best!" Jiang Wanzai breathed a sigh of relief and said, and looked at Ying Jieyan on the side, shaking his head and smiling bitterly, it is not a good thing for His Highness to have deviant thoughts at a young age, he can't help but be full of sympathy for him, it is not easy to teach such an active and assertive student. And His Highness seemed to be finished speaking, and began to speak again.
"In today's world, jackals are in charge, tigers and leopards are rampant, and under the invasion of foreign countries, etiquette has collapsed, people's hearts are not ancient, and there is no longer the wind of benevolence and righteousness of the day. Now that the righteousness of the court is not obvious, and the villain is standing in the court, the king thinks that he is still acting morally and sticking to etiquette, and it is inevitable that he will be restrained and constrained by others. Zhao Yu said.
"So Your Highness is going to be a bad person? Isn't this saying that he is in the same stream with the villain, and he is in a trap. "Ying Jie Yan couldn't help but say, His Royal Highness is really a child, and he can actually come up with such a way.
"Mr. misinterpreted, this king wants to be a bad guy with a righteous heart!" Zhao Yu was a little depressed, it was really difficult to talk to these 'book bags', and he had to repeat, "This king thinks that as long as he acts with righteousness first, even if he is immoral, his means are not too bad." As far as today's events are concerned, Lord Jiang is highly respected, honest and honest, but now Lord Jiang only wants to leave a trace of blood for the Jiang family, but he can't, just because he is afraid that someone will say that he will lose his righteousness and lose his reputation. And those who are full of benevolence and righteousness can do things that are feasible, arbitrarily promote old protégés, wantonly corrupt and pervert the law, and can even do things that betray the lord and are ungrateful. Isn't this a good man who suffers a loss, and a villain who gains, how can he convince everyone? ”
"What His Highness means is to give the villain an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, and if a dog eats a man, a man will also devour him?" Ying Jieyan felt that His Highness's words were too naïve, and said with a smile.
"Definitely!" Zhao Yu secretly enjoyed that the topic of dogs biting people biting dogs had been debated in his previous life, how could it be difficult for him, and said with a sneer, "If he bites me first, he will pull out his teeth and cut off his claws." If he has no minions, he will dare to bite me again, but he is afraid that he will flee away after hearing my voice. ”
"This ......" Ying Jieyan was surprised, His Royal Highness's answer was not in line with common sense, and he should have refuted me with scriptures, but he only solved it in such a simple and rude way.
"Lord Jiang has always refused to agree to the matter of opening the palace of Qiongzhou, I am afraid that he will also bear the notoriety of harming the prince and trapping the queen mother for injustice, right? But even if Master Jiang doesn't agree, I'm afraid it will be just as difficult to escape the rumors! After going around in circles for a long time, Zhao Yu was a little anxious, no longer arguing with them, and went straight to the point, "Now the ministers of the DPRK and China have made a decision to send people out of Qiongzhou, and only the Queen Mother and His Majesty are gracious, and the adults have not said anything about it." If it fails, everyone will say that the lord will seize power and hold the Queen Mother and Her Majesty hostage, so that the court will not be able to carry out the proposal, but will lead to the misconduct of the country and the king, and will be impeached. And if he changes day by day, it will be even more difficult for adults to escape the blame. ”
"If there is Jiang Yishan's matter, this king also thinks that it is inappropriate for adults to consider it." Seeing that Jiang Wanzai opened his mouth to speak, Zhao Yu interrupted first, "My lord arranged for Jiang Yishan to return to his hometown to repair his father's tomb and guard filial piety, but did you ever think that Duchang had already fallen into the hands of the enemy, and with his temperament, he would not sit idly by and watch the Tartars run rampant, but I was afraid that he would raise the banner of righteousness again and gather people to resist the violence." However, he has neither strong troops nor foreign aid, and he is not an enemy when he fights alone, so he is afraid that he will be defeated and killed. ”
"Although Qiongzhou is also a difficult and dangerous place, the national capital still exists, and there is a moat separating it, and the outcome is still unpredictable; Even if it is lost, Qiongzhou is surrounded by the sea, and it can go to sea to continue to deal with the enemy; And how can this king let the loyal and virtuous have no queen, and he will protect him. If the lord still has doubts, the king can write to His Majesty and expel him from the palace, and if there is any blame, the king will bear all the blame, and it will not cause the lord to clear his name. ”
Zhao Yu looked at Jiang Wanzai in a determined manner, he had done his best, and it depended on whether he succeeded or not. However, he also made up his mind that even if it was still difficult to succeed, he could only act alone, because this was his last hope to escape his fate, and he couldn't care about the consequences for the time being, so he could only do it first and then see, and let it be up to God's will.
"Well... The old minister entered the palace tonight to advise the Queen Mother and promote the opening of Qiongzhou by Her Royal Highness. However......" Jiang Wanzai lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and finally made up his mind.
"My lord, please speak, but where this king can contribute, there is no excuse!" Zhao Hao's heart fell to the ground, and he said excitedly, as long as he doesn't want his life at this moment, he can agree to any conditions, if Jiang Wanzai helps unconditionally, he still has a lot of bottom in his heart, but opening his mouth to beg himself makes him feel a lot more at ease. After all, Lao Li said it well: the hands of people are short, and the mouth of people is short.
"The old minister thanked His Highness first!" Jiang Wanzai gave a slight salute and said, "Zong Jie has been in the palace for some time, he was originally a member of my clan, his parents died early, and he was accepted by the old minister as a righteous son to be raised in the mansion, and he was regarded as a parent. The old minister has reached the end of his life, and he knows that his time is short, and it is difficult to take care of him, so he wants to ask His Royal Highness to serve in the house, so as to leave incense for his family, and be worthy of his father. ”
"Your Excellency, please rest assured, this king will treat him like a brother, and will never turn his back, if he violates this word, heaven and earth will be destroyed!" Zhao Yu immediately responded when he heard this, and raised his hand and swore an oath.
"The old minister is relieved, so he will retire first!" Ying Jieyan got up and retired, and immediately left the palace and went straight to the palace......
