Since Sanniang took me out to meet Chai Shao, I suddenly found that children in ancient times were really not simple...... Not to mention that this Chai Shao is already a person who has become an official called Qianniu, let's just say Sanniang, when it comes to talking about major events in the world, this consciousness is simply too low compared to me.

How does this work? Lao Tzu, a person who will be the emperor in the future, how can he confess in front of them now? But I have another advantage in this person, that is, I am modest, like me, I can't think of how to acquire skills that I want to break my head to, and I have no other way but to ask people, but fortunately, there are people in the house who can teach me these skills - one is naturally Mr. Fang, and the other is my father, who is not hidden in the open air and underground.

My father's IQ is not something that ordinary people can control, and since I realized this, I have never dared to act rashly in front of him, what if I talk casually and is seen through by him? Fortunately, Mr. Fang was there, but Mr. Fang didn't look like an adult at all, the weather just turned cold, he tossed himself sick, I heard that he was drinking in the yard one night, but he drank too much, fell on the stone table and slept for a night, and then ...... I got sick.

I went to Mr. Fang's room and saw Mr. Fang leaning on the bed, reading a book in his hand. What's in it for you? ”

I knew he would ask like this, and I pouted and said casually, "Sir, I haven't been reading lately. ”

He wasn't angry, just smiled and asked, "Oh? But why? ”

"About half a month ago, I went out with Sanniang to meet a friend Chai Shao, who was the same age as me, but he had joined the army, and before that, he had also served as an attendant to His Royal Highness the Prince. When I discussed with him about the affairs of the world, I felt that his opinions were far superior to mine, so even if I read the Analects and the Book of Songs, what use would it be? These books can teach me how to be a human being, and as for how to have the world in mind and achieve a career, these can't teach me at all. So I didn't read it. ”

After I said these words, my heart was a little confused, because Mr. Fang seemed to be a little unhappy when he heard these words, he suppressed his smile, the wrinkles on his face became more obvious, and I waited for a while before I heard him say: "Sir should have known that you were not a thing in the pool. But it is built, the so-called self-cultivation Qi family rules the country and the world, self-cultivation is the duty, you are still young, you should take this as your mind......"

I interrupted Mr. Fang's words impatiently, "But Chai Shao is also young, he became the prince's attendant of the East Palace at a young age, and he knows how to protect himself, so he invited himself to serve in the army, doesn't he say that he is well-informed?" I stay in the house all day, I don't see much, so I naturally have a shallow understanding, if I am like Chai Shao, ......"

Mr. Fang asked rhetorically, "How about him?" Your friend Chai Shao, do you know that his father died of grief because he angered the emperor? His uncle was transferred to another place because of his gap with His Royal Highness the King of Jin, if it weren't for the emperor's shame on him because of his father's death, would he be able to retreat from the East Palace? He joined the army as a last resort, and how much do you know about these things to talk about here? ”

Mr. Fang's voice did not fluctuate much, but his tone was very stern.

I was so surprised that my jaw dropped - "These...... None of these Chai Shao mentioned them to me. ”

Mr. Fang put the book in his hand aside, shook his head and said, "Chai Shao himself doesn't know all these things, he is confused, and you have become as confused as him when you make friends with him?" Last year, the emperor wanted to transfer your father back to Beijing, but it was your father who secretly communicated with Yuanyan, the servant of the Yellow Gate, and asked him to mediate in front of the emperor, so that your father was able to favor Anqizhou. It's good that you don't think about being safe and guarding yourself, not only are you interested in the affairs of the court, but you also talk about what you have made contributions. If you don't have the right heart at a young age, what will happen when you grow up? ”

No way! I'm not mistaken, didn't the ancients like to talk about what they did the most? Chai Shao was not wrong at all, and I retorted: "Sir, I don't understand. What's wrong with serving the field to establish meritorious deeds like Chai Shao, or seeking fame and fame? It is also said in the "Analects" that those students of Confucius, Zilu and Ziyou, are not all responsible for governing the country and leveling the world? They were revered as sages by later generations, but are they also unscrupulous? ”

I've always been an An'an here, except for the last time I was drunk and messed around, I never dared to do anything out of bounds, I restrained how many thoughts they thought were wrong, step by step according to what the book taught, the parents respected, never dared to easily make them angry, and the next sister to kiss, that naughty Sanniang, I rely on her in everything, and treat her as a sister. Just because I didn't want to disappoint Mr. Fang, he was the first person I grew up to teach me how to behave. Mr. Fang is good, just because I want to do something like Chai Shao, and he actually said that I have a bad heart?! I'm so.

Mr. Fang's eyes flashed, and he suddenly coughed violently, I was startled, and hurriedly walked to the bed and said, "Sir, stop being angry." ”

He coughed for a while before waving his hand and said, "Sir is not angry, just to you...... So disappointed. He raised his eyes and looked at me.

I looked at him and saw that his little black eyes were gloomy, and my heart suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and I said, "I don't know what is wrong, please Mr. Solve your doubts." ”

Mr. Fang stopped looking at me, and just said softly, "Do you remember the story that Mr. told you?" Mr. used to be the same as you, I wanted to make a contribution, the so-called 'learn to become a literary and martial arts, goods and the emperor's family', but unfortunately the times were unlucky. Back then, Mr. didn't want to rely on his own strength to block the Sui army in Jiangbei, but it was a pity...... Not only is it difficult to be ambitious, but it also affects acquaintances. Listening to your words today, Mr. remembered Yuan Du who didn't know where he was, he was also high-spirited back then, and after listening to Mr. 's words, he acted rashly and almost lost his life in vain. ”

"But sir, how can we talk the same thing now that the times are different?" I still don't think Mr. Fang's words make any sense, "Back then, the queen of Chen was weak, but now the emperor is not a faint king." Chai Shao said, he has seen His Royal Highness the King of Jin, saying that the King of Jin is not inferior to the prince, I heard my father discuss, and I also think that the wisdom of the King of Jin is indeed above the prince, even if the situation above the court is unstable now, and the King of Jin is powerful, he may not be a Ming Jun, and he may not be able to govern the world. ”

Mr. Fang said: "Mr. once said that he will never interfere in the affairs of the Northern Dynasty, otherwise he will not die well." But you are young and don't know what is at stake, so Mr. made an exception to tell you. ”

When I heard what Mr. Fang was going to say, I arched my hand and said, "Please give me advice." ”

Mr. Fang sighed and said, "Do you know that His Royal Highness King Qin is getting sicker now?" ”

"Yes."

"His Royal Highness King Qin may die soon, but the person who harmed him is his own brother King Jin, what do you think of this matter?"

I said, "The book says that you should be friendly to your brothers, and it seems inappropriate for King Jin to behave like this. ”

"Would you do that?"

"I ......" I was stunned, some time ago I was thinking about how to kill my brother who was not born yet, if he was really born, I ...... I don't know what to say? How do I answer this? Although I never had to make a draft to lie—a skill that I have degraded a bit now, it's not impossible, but I don't want my husband to lie, just as I don't want to lie to my father and mother.

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Naturally, I wouldn't do that. "Damn, you can eat randomly, you can't talk nonsense, I heard that the words spoken in ancient times are very effective, if you disobey what you said, you will be damned, then what should I do in the future?

Mr. Fang nodded, and said, "Regardless of whether the King of Qin and the King of Jin are brothers, it is unkind to talk about the King of Jin harming the innocent." Moreover, the King of Jin and the crown prince are also brothers. In order to compete for favor, he repeatedly traps his eldest brother in injustice, is this what his younger brother should do? ”

"Naturally not."

"He and the emperor are not only father and son, but also monarchs and ministers. As a son of man who does not know how to love his brother, but deliberately tries to get rid of him, how can it be filial piety? Instead of thinking about self-preservation, the ministers instead form gangs and factions in the court to fight against dissidents, how can they be loyal? He coughed a few times, then said slowly, "From this point of view, how can the King of Jin be expected to be the wise lord and the king of the sage if he is unkind, unjust, disloyal and unfilial?" Such a person, a man of the world, who would like to assist him? That's why your father didn't want to enter the court, do you know? ”

When I thought of the book I had read recently, I was still unconvinced, and I retorted: "Is it true that if you do the things of benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and filial piety, you will definitely be able to be a wise king?" "Zuo Biography" recorded that Song Xianggong fought with the King of Chu in Hong, and he said, "The ancient is also the army, and it is not to hinder it." Although the widow is dead, he will not be able to make a column. So the army was defeated and wounded, and eventually he died. Isn't Song Gong acting benevolent? Why did he lose his life and harm the subjects of the Song State because of this? In my opinion, even if he does what is righteous and righteous, he is not a wise man. ”

Mr. Fang was silent for a long time and did not speak.

I added, "In that case, there is no direct relationship between whether or not you act benevolently and whether you can be a wise ruler, right?" ”

Mr. Fang just picked up the book next to the couch and read it, but did not speak.

When I saw that he didn't speak, I noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange, so I had to say again: "Sir? ”

Mr. Fang lazily agreed, and said: "Your words are not unreasonable, but loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are the foundation of people. Whether Song Xianggong is a wise gentleman or not, Mr. does not dare to argue, and what Mr. understands is only the four words of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. As for the rest, Mr. can't teach you. ”

I was shocked when I heard this! It was like a knife in my heart.

Mr. Fang's attitude reminded me of Master. To be honest, I haven't thought of him for a long time, because I used to fool around with women, and he used to say - you are a little gangster, don't ruin others if you don't go on the road yourself. I thought he was verbose, and I also refuted him - men love women, you love me, they are willing, and they are still enjoying it, how can you say that they are ruined by me? Of course, I was very unconvinced when he said that, and then he said it so many times that I didn't bother to listen, and then he didn't care much about me, and then he was cut off, so be it.
