Chapter 237: Don't steal the limelight from others
"The Lord is still dreaming of his dreams! Hehehe! The one-clawed beast Wei Zhong smiled and said.
The unicorn Bai Jiao also laughed on the side: "The Lord is still so domineering, he looks down on everyone in the world!" I feel that all people are the objects of his enslavement, and they are all born to enslave him! ”
The one-eyed beast also said with a smile: "He thinks that he has power in his hands and strong force, so he can do whatever he wants, and everyone in the world is afraid of him!" He can do whatever he wants, others dare not resist, they have to surrender and be obedient. ”
"Yes! Oh, yes! Our Lord is still so young and proud. thought that after defeating Qin and other countries, and winning a few battles, he would be invincible in the world. Hehehe! ……”
Everyone laughed.
"He didn't know! As long as a few battles are defeated, the Wei state will go downhill and will never be able to climb again. Bai Gui said distressedly: "Our Wei country, how much land area does it have?" How many people are there? As long as a few battles were defeated and tens of thousands of people were lost, the Wei state would no longer be strong. But our Lord, he doesn't see failure, he still looks like he's full of calculations, and he doesn't think about failure at all. What if it fails? What about the State of Wei? ”
Speaking of the affairs of the Wei State, Bai Gui had that sense of urgency.
He is a native of Wei and has a deep affection for Wei. If it weren't for the country and the people, he wouldn't have entered politics.
Originally! He wanted to enter politics and help King Wei Hui govern Wei well, so that Wei would become strong and rich.
But King Wei Hui's idea was the opposite! He has no people in his heart, only his own hegemony. He believes that when the country is strong, it should seek hegemony. Only by dominating the world and dominating the world can we stabilize the world. And then! Then we should develop people's livelihood and let people live a happy life.
King Wei Hui believed that it is useless for a country to become rich if it is not militarily strong. Although you are rich, you will soon become someone else's property, created for someone else's labor.
Here's an example! It's like those defeated countries, they used to be very rich, richer than Wei. But what's the use of being rich? Their wealth, because of the defeat in the war, all became the wealth of Wei. Their fortunes were all temporary, and they all developed for the Wei State.
"The Lord thinks! Plundering other people's wealth is the only way to get rich. But he just didn't figure it out! If we don't develop the primary productive forces and create through labor, where will the wealth come from? They all go to rob, they don't go to produce food, what do they eat? If you don't produce or create products, where will the products come from for others to snatch?
But! No matter how much I tried to persuade him, he just wouldn't listen. Opposite! He also said to me! It is precisely because of people like me, who are bent on developing production, that he has the basis for hegemony and grabbing! As a result for me? On the contrary, he has become a hegemon! Am I a sinner of history? What's the point? ”
When everyone saw the innocent and aggrieved look of the white official, they first felt the same way. Then! They all laughed.
"White officials! You just listen to him? King Wei Hui he! Isn't that all? Swear black is white.! Anyway! Whatever he did, he was right! Others! No matter how you do it, it's wrong! ”
"Yes! Our Lord! That's it! White officials don't worry about him in general! ”
"White officials! We all believe in you! I'm willing to do it with you! ”
"White officials! You do! is to truly serve the people! You see! Zhao people thank you! During these days, the people of Zhao along the way of the horse transport had fish and meat to eat every day, and the children's cries were less. White officials! Your merit is greater than that of a king. ”
Bai Gui smiled: "You can't say that! If Zhao Hou heard about it, he would have misunderstood. If others talk nonsense about this matter and reach Zhao Hou's ears, he must be unhappy. He's a king! All the credit is given by the king! ”
Seeing that everyone was listening carefully, Bai Gui extended: "If the people of our caravan hear someone talking about all this thanks to Bai Guanren, we must say so!" You just say: Everything is Zhao Hou Yingming! If Zhao Hou didn't allow Bai Gui's horse to pass through Zhao State, where would those people along the way have fish and meat to eat? Isn't it? So! The credit lies with Zhao Hou! ”
"Yes! The white official is right! It would be a mistake to say that all this is the merit and merit of the white officials. It's easy to make Zhao Hou angry when he says this! Anyone! None of them can be more meritorious than the king! Otherwise! Where is the prestige of the king? Where is the merit? What's the use of having him as a king? Why don't you go and be a king!
So! The white official is right! If someone says: All this is the credit and merit of the white officials, we must tear the topic away and we must say it! It was Zhao Hou's wise decision. It is not the merit and merit of the white officials, the white officials are just a businessman, and they put their interests first. And Zhao Hou! The merit is immeasurable! ”
"Isn't it? This is obviously the credit and merit of the white officials? "Some people are puzzled and want to argue. It can be seen that the white officials are smiling at him, and everyone is looking at him, so they have to give up.
"Don't understand, do you? If you don't understand, you have to understand! Bai Guanren is just a businessman, mainly in business. And Zhao Hou is the king, and the king is for the welfare of the people. You put the credit on the head of the white official, how can you make the king feel embarrassed? Got it? ”
"I don't understand!"
"If you don't understand, think slowly!"
"I don't understand!"
"Hehehe!" When they saw this, they all burst out laughing.
Bai Gui nodded towards the guard and said, "The credit can't be counted on me alone, nor on Zhao Hou's head. Everyone has merit, and they should be praised! Hehehe! ……”
When they heard this, they burst into laughter again.
"If Zhao Hou didn't agree and didn't let the horse pass through Zhao State, there would be nothing that happened later. Isn't it? ”
"Why didn't Zhao Hou agree? We tax him, bring him double taxes, and he will be foolish if he does not promise him! He's not a good king! ”
"If he submits to the Wei State, will he dare to agree? Isn't it? Baekyu explained. So! Zhao Hou is still very wise and bold! ”
"Dare to go against the Wei State, Zhao Hou still has the courage!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Zhao Hou did a very tough job in this matter! ”
"So be careful in the future, and don't talk nonsense wherever you go. For example, this incident, you can't say that it is the merit and merit of my Baigui and Bai Guanren, you should say that it is the wisdom of Zhao Hou. You know what?
If you hear others say that it is the credit and merit of my Bai Gui, you must stand up and say that all this is not the credit and merit of Bai Gui and Bai Guan, but Zhao Hou's! That's the only way! Only then can we continue to mix in the country of Zhao.
It's just an analogy! Zhao Hou is not the kind of stingy king, but other kings may not be so wise. If someone else covers his limelight, he will hate you! You know what?
We are just businessmen, and we should not get involved in the power struggles and public opinion in this country. It's right and wrong! It's better not to provoke! We are merchants! In business! ”
"White officials! We remembered! We get it! ”
"White officials! That's what you are! It's obviously the merit you made, but you insist on saying that it's someone else's merit! Alas! No more to say! I listen to you! ”
"White officials! It's because you don't leave your name, but people remember you! What is it called? Heaven and earth are selfless, but they have achieved the name of heaven and earth? What the? ”
"Lao Tzu said: The sky is eternal. The reason why heaven and earth can last long is because they do not generate themselves, so they can live forever. Is it the saint who comes after his body and exists outside his body, not by his selflessness? Therefore, it can become its own selfishness. ”
"Yes, yes, yes! That's what it means! ”
When they heard this, they laughed again.
