Chapter Ninety-Eight: Duel
After an hour of difficult and slow trekking, Zhao Chongguo and Bingji finally came to Wang Ji's face, Bingji got off the car and saw Wang Ji standing not far away to greet him.
Wang Ji also noticed Bingji's angry eyes, but he didn't care, just waited quietly on the side of the road for the two to get out of the car.
Bingji was even more angry when he saw this, and walked off the carriage quickly, throwing off the entourage to be supported, this series of actions, Zhao Chongguo, who got off the car behind, frowned, and Bingji in Chang'an has always looked like a humble gentleman, but when he got off the scene, who would have thought that Bingji would behave like this!!
When Zhao Chongguo was young, his family invited famous teachers to teach Zhao Chongguo to study the Book of Poetry, and when he learned the way of a gentleman, he was taught by Mr. to become a gentleman.
The villain is not thoughtful, the same but not harmonious, the eldest relative, arrogant but not Tai gentleman Huaide, Huai Punishment, Yu Yuyi, seeking himself, the beauty of adults.
Confucius Ziyun: The villain cherishes the soil, cherishes the favor, is beneficial to the people, seeks the evil of adults, and the gentleman is easy to say but difficult to say; If you don't say it, you don't say it; and its making people also, the villain of the instrument is difficult and easy to say; Although it is not said by the way, it is also said; And it makes people also, seeking to be prepared, the gentleman is poor, the villain is poor, and the gentleman's mistakes are like the eclipse of the sun and the moon. Yes, everyone sees it; What's more, everyone looks up to the villain's faults must also be written The gentleman can not be underestimated, and the villain can not be greatly suffered, and the villain can not be greatly affected, and the gentleman can be small The gentleman is up to the villain to be the gentleman is righteous, the gentleman is brave and unrighteous, and the villain is brave and unrighteous, and the thief is easy to make if the gentleman learns the Tao and loves the villain.
A gentleman has three fears: fear of destiny, fear of adults, and fear of the words of saints.
The villain does not know the destiny of heaven, and is not afraid of it, and insults the words of the saint.
A gentleman blames himself for being multi-competent, and he blames others for being capable. Gentlemen are not instrumental, gentlemen are many, not much, although the road is small. There will be a great eye. Zhiyuan is afraid of mud. It's not a gentleman.
A gentleman can pass away, but he cannot be trapped; Can be bullied, can not be reckless, the gentleman wants to be sensitive to his words and deeds, the gentleman is ashamed of his words and his deeds, the gentleman first his words and then follow them, the gentleman's righteousness is the quality, the etiquette is the action, the grandson is out, and the letter is successful. A gentleman is also in the world, there is no suitability, there is no Mo, and righteousness is compared.
A gentleman seeks a way but does not seek food; Worry about the road is not worried about poverty, the gentleman can support the loneliness of six feet, can send a hundred miles of life, and cannot take it away when the festival is coming. The gentleman is sick and unworthy of his name. The gentleman is ill and incompetent, and the patient does not know it. The wickedness of the gentleman is indecent, and all the evils in the world are returned. A gentleman is evil, a man who is evil, a man who is inferior and despises, a man who is brave and rude, and a man who is bold and suffocating. A gentleman does not lift up people by people, and he does not talk nonsense by people. If you don't know your fate, you can't be a gentleman.
If you don't know how to be polite, you can't stand up. I don't know words, I don't know people. The gentleman is also the one who does what he is right, and the way is not good, and he is known. The gentleman is chaste and unforgiving. Quality is better than literature, literature is better than quality, history is history, literature is polite, and then gentlemen. If a gentleman is not important, he is not prestigious, he is not solid when he learns, the Lord is faithful, and those who have no friends are not as good as themselves, and if they are too bad, they should not be afraid to change.
The gentleman is not worried or afraid, the gentleman has no brothers, the gentleman has no food to eat, no place to live, he is sensitive to things, and he is cautious in his words, he has the way and is right, and he can be said to be studious. A gentleman goes to benevolence, and evil becomes famous. The gentleman has no end of food, and the second must be made, and the upheaval must be. monarch
The son is erudite in the text, and the appointment is courteous, and it can also be a husband. The gentleman will meet friends with literature, and help people with friends. The gentleman can't think of it. A gentleman is reserved but not indisputable. Crowd but not party.
The third gentleman and Taoist, I am incompetent: the benevolent are not worried, the knowing are not confused, and the brave are not afraid. There are three changes in a gentleman: he looks at it, he is warm, and he listens to his words. If a gentleman has nothing to fight, he will shoot too! Let and rise, down and drink, its contention is also Jun.
A gentleman has nine thoughts: seeing Siming, listening to Sicong, Se Siwen, Maung Sigong, Yan Sizhong, Respectful of things, doubting and asking, thinking about difficult, and seeing the righteousness.
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
A gentleman has three precepts: when he is little, his blood is undecided, and his precepts are in color; and its strength, the blood is strong, and the ring is fighting; and his old age, the flesh is weak, and the abstinence is in it. A gentleman believes and then works for his people, and if he doesn't believe it, he thinks he is also strong; If you believe and then admonish, if you don't believe, you think you are blaspheming. The gentleman is virtuous and tolerant, and the virtuous and unreserved. A gentleman wants to be quick to say and quick to do.
And now Bingji has forgotten the words of the sage, and only moves forward for his own interests, Zhao Chongguo shook his head secretly, and did not stop it, but walked forward.
Bingji held back his anger and exchanged salutes with Wang Ji, and after the salute was over, he couldn't wait to ask: "Prince, did you see the official document that I wrote to the Imperial Historical Terrace??? ”
Wang Ji replied calmly: "I have seen the official document of Duke Bing, but there are some flaws in the official document, and I was about to send someone to send it to Duke C early tomorrow morning, but I didn't expect Duke Bing to visit late at night, it was my fault, and it should be delivered overnight!" Please forgive me!! ”
Bingji looked at the calm Bingji in front of him, and tried his best to suppress his anger, so far, there is no way to deal too much with Wang Ji, and he is looking for trouble in the future, and the top priority now is to take away the people who have given him benefits and have been on the list of emigrants, and must not let people fall into the hands of Wang Ji and Zhao Chongguo.
After figuring it out, Bingji quickly spoke: "The prince is handling the case, I shouldn't talk too much, but many of them have already been on the migration list, and they will go to Guanzhong to guard the tomb of the first emperor in five days, and the prince should hand over the people on the list to this official!" ”
Wang Ji heard Bingji's words, smiled slightly and said: "The people on the list have violated the law and discipline in the southeast all the year round, so the people are impermanent, only the law is the rule, the law is governed by the times, and the rule is meritorious when the world is appropriate, so this imperial history is also acting according to the law, and I hope that Binggong will forgive me!" ”
Hearing Wang Ji's refusal, Bingji was furious, and immediately asked: "Therefore, the rule of the Ming Lord is also rewarded, and the people persuade merit; Severe punishment, the people are pro-law, Wang Zhongcheng, today the son issued an edict to exempt the southeastern officials and nobles from responsibility, why did Wang Zhongcheng still do this mess? Aren't you afraid of Your Majesty's blame? Aren't you afraid of the prime minister's anger? ”
When Wang Ji heard that the old lord of the Ming Dynasty ruled the country, the Ming reward, the people persuaded merit, punished severely, and the people were pro-law, he raised his head and looked at Bingji sarcastically and said: "Binggong still knows that the law is like this!" ”
This sentence said by Bingji is from "Han Feizi? Heart": "Therefore, the ruler of the Ming Dynasty also rewards the people for their persuasion, severely punishes the people for their pro-law, and persuades them to do no public work, and the pro-law is not cute!! ”
If the rewards are just and strict, the people will strive to make meritorious contributions, and if the criminal law is just and strict, the people will trust the law and consciously abide by it.
But Bingji was using his power to manipulate the law at this time, so when he said this, Wang Ji felt extremely ironic.
Bingji saw the ridicule on Wang Ji and Zhao Chongguo's faces, and instantly understood the loopholes in his words, frowned, and a wave of anger couldn't help but rush up from his ribs, and immediately stared at him, his eyebrows stood up one by one, and his face burst into green tendons, staring at this Wang Ji angrily, his teeth were gritted "Gege", and his eyes flashed with an uncontrollable anger, like an enraged lion.
Wang Ji was not frightened by the hideous Bingji in front of him, not to be outdone, he stared directly at Bingji, the two stared at each other deadly, no one will retreat, the Han family husband dares to act, when he is alive, when he dies, he will die, it is impossible to retreat half a step to his enemy, and today is a battle for Taoism, only you live and die.
The battle between inches and hearts, life and death are forgotten.
Wang Ji and Bingji are still in a stalemate, and the retinue officials on both sides are also tense, and there is a tendency to disagree and draw their swords against each other.
Zhao Chongguo walked to the middle of Wang Ji and Bingji, separated the two, coughed softly, and wanted to transfer the attention of the two to him, seeing that the two were unmoved, Zhao Chongguo touched his nose in embarrassment, and the two fought each other, and they had their own hands and feet, and the reason was very simple, neither of them was a member of their own faction.
Zhao Chongguo, a native of Shangtai in Longxi County, Longyou people are rich in military aristocrats in the Han Dynasty, and Zhao Chongguo is the pearl of it, although now the Longyou family has thrown themselves into the eagle card of Huo Guang, but it is only a cooperative relationship, and Longyou people need someone to speak for the front-line generals in the court.
However, the cooperation of the political family is not as close as the outside world thinks, which is also mixed with confrontation, the real power in the temple is pitiful, and most of the people promoted by Huo Guang are related to each other, so that the Longyou nobles began to deviate from morality, plus the Son of Heaven has been on the throne for almost half a year, and the main position in the court also has his own people, as the head of the Longyou nobles, Zhao Chongguo understands that it is time to say goodbye to the Huo Guang Group.
Thinking of this, Zhao Chongguo said: "Nonsense, now the southeast is in chaos, the Son of Heaven sent the three of us here to calm the chaos, how could you have thought that the two of you will be in chaos first, and the relevant people will be taken to the prison first, the prince, the three of us, the three of us will go back to the yamen first, and then we will discuss in the long run!! ”
Wang Ji and Bingji also understood that the dispute here was just a laughing stock, and the two replied together: "Listen to the general's orders!" ”
Seeing that these two people were so interested, Zhao Chongguo nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then please let the two of you pedal and go to the county governor's mansion together, and you will disturb the prince tonight!" ”
Wang Ji replied: "The general is here, the county governor's mansion is shining, the general please!" ”
After saying that, the three of them each returned to their own cars and headed towards the county governor's mansion.
Note: Longyou military aristocracy: The Guanlong group is not only a military group, but also a political group. It is characterized by the following: Rongzhi Guanlong, Hu and Han people's armed and intelligent people" (such as members of the Eight Pillars national clan); The people in this group "are in the phase, and out are the generals, and there is no separation of civil and military affairs". This military group not only included the leading groups of the five dynasties of Han, Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui and Tang, but also produced many famous generals. The sheer number of talents is staggering. The Guanlong group was very powerful in the early Sui and Tang dynasties. The famous and extremely powerful Guanlong military aristocratic group was very prosperous in the Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui, and early Tang dynasties, and almost all the royal family and its generals and ministers came from this group.
