Chapter Twenty-Six: The King's Way is Domineering
Xu You shook his head reservedly and said, "I'm just chatting with my friends, where do I know a thing or two?" It's just that this place is biased to the south, the water is deep, and it is the easiest place to silt up, and it is also the easiest place to make fields, so I said a few more words, and the old man doesn't have to care. Eight? 1 Chinese Net =≈≤.≥8≥"
"With this kind of knowledge, it is already very different from ordinary people."
The old man's gaze is like a candle in the night, not necessarily bright, but for some reason, it can always make people feel nervous and uneasy, and they can't help but bow their heads and listen to the teachings.
Xu You's expression was calm, unmoved, but he knew in his heart that this person was not an ordinary person, and said with a smile: "Qiantang from north to east, from West Lake to the mouth of the river, all of them are land obtained through building ponds, but all the older villagers also know this, and they are not knowledgeable......
The old man heard that Xu You didn't want to talk more, but he didn't force it, so he changed the topic and said, "West Lake? ”
"Oh, that's the Qiantang Lake before."
Since the appearance of the White Snake, although it has not been renamed by the government, the folk have called Qiantang Lake West Lake, and it has also attracted many literati to write poems to commemorate after playing, and secretly want to compete with the "Spring Trip to Qiantang Lake", but it is a pity that so far, there is no poem that can be compared.
Xu You asked rhetorically: "My husband is a foreigner?" ”
The old man nodded, did not hide it, and said: "I came from Jinling, and not long after I arrived in Wu County, I heard that the scenery of Qiantang is beautiful, so I came to take a look. ”
"Jinling? Disrespectful and disrespectful, I didn't even hear my husband have a Jinling accent. ”
Xu You suddenly had a plan, a big man from Jinling at this time...... You should really ask Gu Yun which Qin sent by An Zidao to remove Liu Quan from his official position as the assassin of Yangzhou.
The old man looked at Xu You with interest and said, "Have you been to Jinling?" ”
"I haven't been there much, but Jinling Yayan is very impressive to those who have heard it."
The old man laughed and said, "Now they are all proud to speak Luoyang Zhengyin, and it is rare that there are still people who know Jinling Yayan." Lang Jun is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, he must be a famous person in Qiantang County, can you give a name? ”
Xu You smiled very humbly and said: "I am from a poor family, how can I dare to be called a celebrity?" ”
The old man looked at him for a moment and said, "Guan Langjun has a good demeanor and talent, even if he is not a celebrity now, he will definitely be famous all over the world in the future." ”
"Famous all over the world, not as good as that!" The general meaning of this sentence is to say, what does it mean to be famous in the world, I'll forget it. Xu You is in a place of suspicion, and he will not be honest, not to mention that the old man obviously has a great background.
The old man was surprised and said: "In the words of "Guanzi", Yangzhou is really an important town of the Heavenly Master's Dao, and anyone who meets anyone is so familiar with the Taoist classics!" ”
Xu You's eyebrows furrowed slightly, seeing that the old man's seemingly unintentional words represented An Zidao's dissatisfaction and wariness of Yangzhou and Heavenly Master Dao.
This time, it was Zuo Yan's turn to be puzzled, and said: "Isn't Guan Zi Qi Xiang, assisting Qi Huan Gong to become the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period, how did he become a Taoist?" ”
"Ban Gu compiled the "Ten Chronicles of the Book of Han" and listed the "Guanzi" in the sub-section of Taoism. Although it is not very different from the doctrine of the Heavenly Master Dao Zhang, it is barely a lineage of Taoism, so later generations often say that Guan Zi is the ancestor of Taoism. In fact, Ban Gu did not grasp the essence of Guan Zi's thought, although he was influenced by Taoism, but in his bones he was still dominated by Legalism. ”
Xu You was not only explaining to Zuo Yan, but also answering the old man's questions. I know Guanzi, just because I have read the Ten Chronicles of Hanshu, and I have nothing to do with the Heavenly Master Dao.
The old man's eyes lit up, and he seemed to be a little surprised, so he deliberately studied him, and said: "Lang Jun's words are wrong, Guan Zi advocates the art of the south of the gentleman, which is exactly where the dregs of Huang Lao Dao of the Jixia School Palace lie, how can it involve the Legalist family?" ”
The so-called gentleman's southern technique, adhering to the basics, being self-controlled, and being weak and self-controlled, simply put, is to teach people how to engage in politics, which is a satirical statement of Huang Laodao, a branch of Taoism. Xu You has a bit of a headache, crossing into this era, the most intolerable thing is not that there is no TV, no mobile phone, no network, but a clear talk that can be born anytime and anywhere, the content of the talk is strange, all-encompassing, and not for the purpose of winning or losing, just to grind the skin, that is, the mystery and mystery pursued by celebrities and gentlemen.
"Legalism is a school of thought that was born by drawing ideas from Taoism, and not only Legalism, but also other schools have been influenced by Taoism to some extent. For example, Han Fei is an important figure in the Legalists, and he can write two articles, "Solving the Old" and "Yu Lao", which talk about the art of the south of the gentleman, also known as Taoism. What is Tao? The Tao is the Tao, the very Tao, the name is famous, the name is not the same, and the pipe thinks that the name is born in the Tao, and the Tao is ...... a hundred schools"
"Lang Jun is bad again, depose the hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism, Huang Lao's Tao is heresy, and the Tao of Confucianism is the real Tao!"
Xu You knew that if he continued to argue like this, he couldn't stop arguing until next year, and said with a smile: "The old man learned Confucianism? ”
The old man was even more interested, and said, "Yes, the disciple of the Confucian Holy Sect is cheeky!" ”
"In the past, in the Jixia School Palace, all the disciples of Huang Lao were there, and Qi became one of the overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period. But Kong Shengxian commissioned officials (in charge of warehouses), then Chengtian (in charge of animal husbandry), and finally became the official to the great secretary of Lu State, and took pictures, did Lu become the overlord? After that, he traveled around the world, Wei, Cai, Song, Zheng, Chen and other countries, or stayed, or drove him, or trapped him, or killed him, but no country wanted to reuse him, is Confucianism and Taoism not the others? Or is there something else? ”
Xu You Zhengse said: "The kid is not disrespectful to the saint, but he has doubts in his heart and begs the old man to solve his doubts." ”
The old man is not a corrupt Confucian, he can't listen to other people's criticism of Confucius, but he is impressed by Xu You, everyone is literate, but not everyone can think, and said: "Qi is close to the Bohai Sea, rich in fish and salt, and has the benefits of mountains, seas, and fishing fields. As for Kong Sheng, his career before the age of sixty was not smooth, although he was famous in the world, he was not used by the king, but the jade was not cut into a tool, and it was these tribulations that made him reach the realm of not being bothered by external remarks after the age of sixty, and no longer thought that his experience was bumpy. The reason why a saint is holy is not because of his innate intelligence, but because he gradually learns, knows, understands and thinks about it, and when he stands on a high place that everyone looks up to, he becomes a saint. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the stone pier on the dock next to him and said, "Lang Jun allows me to sit for a while, I am old, and I can't bear to stand for too long." ”
"It's the kid's negligence, the old man should rest for a while."
Xu You looked at the cold stone pier, took off his coat casually, folded it and put it on it, and helped the old man to sit down. At that time, the atmosphere was open, celebrities and celebrities showed their breasts, caught lice and picked their feet, they all thought it was normal, and actions like Xu You were just pediatrics.
The old man didn't refuse, exhaled a long breath, and said, "It's much more comfortable!" Are you cold or not? If it's not cold, I'll say more, and if it's too cold, I'll make a long story short. ”
Xu You said with a smile: "Chaowen said, it's okay to die at night, it's cold, why worry about it"
The old man laughed and said, "Good! Let's talk about it in detail. Have you read Mencius? Yasheng said that those who use strength to fake benevolence are hegemonic, and there must be great powers. Therefore, under the pretext of respecting the king, Guan Zi acted domineering, making the Qi country above the princes, but in the end of Qi Huangong's life, he only became a hegemon, but did not become a king. In his later years, he was mediocre, died and his five sons fought for power, and even the body was rotten before he was hastily buried. ”
Xu You showed a thoughtful expression and said, "That Kong Sheng is the king of benevolence with virtue......
The old man's eyes were filled with appreciation, and he said: "Yes, the king who is benevolent with virtue, the king does not have to be big, Shang Tang is seventy miles, and King Wen of Zhou is one hundred miles, both of which are kings of the world, and they have lasted for hundreds of years, is it because the Duke of Qi Huan is not as good as Tang and King Wen?" It's not, but because of the domineering of Qi Huan Gongxing, and the royal road of Tang and Wen Wangxing, the Tao is different, and the natural ending is different. ”
Xu You made a sudden realization and said: "The royal road is the Confucianism of Confucius and the benevolence of Confucianism!" ”
"Teachable!" The old man stroked his palm and said with relief: "Confucius traveled around the world and persuaded the king to take Confucianism as the foundation, but at that time, the etiquette collapsed, and no one was willing to be virtuous and benevolent, so it was difficult to have ambitions, not that Confucius was not as good as a pipe." ”
Xu You bowed down and said, "Listening to the old man's words, the mouth suddenly opened." Don't dare to ask for a name? ”
The old man smiled slightly and said, "Old Gu Zhuo." ”
"Huh?" Xu You already knew in his heart that this old man was not an ordinary person, but he still had to pretend to be surprised on his face, and said, "Could it be Gu Shizhong?" ”
Shizhong could enter and leave the court in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was the emperor's confidant and close minister, and gradually evolved into an important minister with power in the Wei and Jin dynasties. The official system of the Chu State inherited from Cao Wei, and the difference was not very big, except that the Shizhong Temple was changed to Menxia Province to check and balance the power of Zhongshu Province.
Gu Zhuo is not the governor of Menxia Province, his servant is sealed, that is to say, he enjoys the treatment of the three grades, but does not have the real power of the three grades. However, he can also play against the emperor and act as an adviser, and he is a relatively close courtier, with extensive influence in the court and the opposition.
"It's old age."
Xu You couldn't bear it, his tone was frightened, and said: "I don't know how much I am offended!" ”
"Hey, let's talk very happily, why offend? The service is the name of Jinling, in Qiantang, you call me a husband is enough! Look, I'm still sitting in your robe, don't pay attention to etiquette! ”
Gu Zhuo had a good impression of Xu You and asked, "Lang Jun is a local?" ”
"Like my husband, they all came from other places. But I'm from Yixing......"
"Yixing?" Gu Zhuo seemed to remember something, and when he looked at Xu You again, his complexion changed slightly, and he said, "Do you recognize Xu's Qilang?" ”
"Boy Xu You, I've seen Shizhong!"
"It's you!"
Gu Zhuo stood up, still smiling, but Xu You knew that he already had a heart of alienation: "Qilang's complexion is ruddy, and his body is no longer in trouble, which is really gratifying." ”
"It's all up to Doctor Wen's skillful hands to rejuvenate!"
Xu You is strange, Gu Zhuo is a person next to An Zidao, and he shouldn't avoid himself like a snake and scorpion when it comes to reasoning, so what else is there to do?
Gu Zhuo handed the robe to Xu You and said, "It's not too early, I'll take the first step, and if I have time in the future, I'll meet again." ”
The politeness in these words can be transmitted to the nose through the Qiantang River, Xu You respectfully said goodbye, and said: "Old man, go slowly!" ”
By the way, Gu Zhuo is a member of the Gu family, and if you count it, it should be Gu Yun's uncle!
Gu Zhuo's figure disappeared at the city gate, and seven followers gathered around him, but they were far away, and they didn't even realize it. Xu You's eyes narrowed slightly, he was silent for a long time, and smiled at Zuo Yan: "Go back to Jingyuan!" ”
