Zhang Yi dismissed the maids and guards around him and invited Zhuangzi to sit down, while he knelt in front of Zhuangzi's knees, looking reverent.

Zhuangzi knew that Zhang Yi was not only pretentious, but also had a certain piousness. After so many years of mixing in the court of the Qin State, wandering among the kings and ministers of various countries, Zhang Yi has already received the sinister of the hearts of the people. So! In front of certain people and certain things, you have to pretend.

Today's Zhang Yi, in front of Zhuangzi, is half pious, half out of contrived disguise.

With Zhang Yi's current identity, at least he is also the prime minister of Wei. It can be said! Under one man, above ten thousand. He can completely change to the identity of Xiangguo, as an upper-class social figure, to receive Zhuangzi ceremoniously.

But? He didn't do that. But! As a disciple and junior, he knelt in front of Zhuangzi and humbly asked for advice. So! Zhang Yi is more or less contrived.

Zhang Yi and Zhuangzi had not met before, and their impression of Zhuangzi was more from the legends of the Wei monarchs and the Wei court. And also! After meeting with Gongsun Yan, it was relayed by Gongsun Yan.

From these aspects, Zhuangzi should be a figure worthy of respect.

During the Qin period, Zhang Yi did not hear many stories about Zhuangzi. Because! When he went to Qin, Qin Xiaogong was already dead, Shang Ying was also dead, and the era of Qin Xiaogong and Shang Ying ended. So! He didn't hear much about Zhuangzi from the court of the Qin state, and no one made any comments about Zhuangzi.

Regarding Taoism, Zhang Yi knows a little. But! Zhang Yi believes that Taoism is too passive. Zhang Yi believes that in life, we should act actively and strive to change the status quo. Instead of going with the flow, as the Taoists say, he felt that was too passive.

The Taoist theory is correct, but it is too passive. So! He is still willing to choose a positive life.

It is precisely for this reason that Zhang Yi does not know Zhuangzi so well, and there is a certain prejudice against Taoism. So! His attitude towards Zhuangzi can be imagined.

So! He looks respectful, but in fact! Deep down, I'm still not convinced. On the surface, he wants to apprentice to a teacher, but in his heart he wants to see if you have the ability to be a master.

This is Zhang Yi's state of mind at the moment.

One set on the surface, another set on the inside.

Zhuangzi naturally saw Zhang Yi through, and naturally despised Zhang Yi's cleverness.

"I think? If I preach to you, you may get bored. Because! Gongsun Yan probably sold it in front of you, Gongsun Yan should have told you all his Taoist theories, right? Zhuangzi asked.

Zhang Yi lay there and snorted.

"If I tell you the great truth of life, you won't listen to it. So! Let's talk about what the future of this big week will be? What is the future of humanity? ”

Since he can't listen to this guy's preaching, then! Start with what he is interested in, and ask him what he thinks about the Great Zhou world and the fate of mankind?

You won't be like Gongsun Yan, who only knows how to lead soldiers to the battlefield to fight, only to show your talents, but you don't know how human beings will manage this society after the unification of the Great Zhou Dynasty? What kind of social order and system does this society need to enable the people to live a good life?

Zhang Yi knelt there, without raising his head, and replied, "Sir, please speak!" ”

When Zhuangzi heard this, he was angry and funny. He originally wanted to ask Zhang Yi, but this Zhang Yi directly made a sloppy look, and with a sentence of "Sir, please speak", he pushed the topic back to you.

You ask, "What will happen to the world of this Great Zhou in the future?" What is the future of humanity? So let's talk about it first, right?

Hey! Sure enough, he is a master of lobbying, and this Tai Chi pushes the circle pushed by the hand.

Zhuangzi had to shake his head and smile bitterly, and said: "The unification of the world in the Great Zhou Dynasty is an inevitable trend. Now what's the key? Who will rule the world? ”

Zhang Yi raised his head at this time and hurriedly replied: "It used to be the Qin State, and now?" I don't know! ”

"Tell me? How was it the Qin State before? Now why not? Isn't it that you're no longer in the Qin Kingdom, you? Zhuangzi also played Tai Chi pushing, followed Zhang Yi's topic, and pushed the topic back to Zhang Yi.

That means: why was it the state of Qin before? Because it's you in the Qin Kingdom. And now you are no longer in the Qin State, so! It was impossible for the Qin State.

Therefore! forced Zhang Yi to explain.

Zhang Yi originally wanted to confess that he was optimistic about the Qin State because the Qin State was strong. Since the Qin Xiaogong and Shang Dynasty periods, the Qin State has taken the right path. So! The state of Qin can dominate the world. Right now! At the end of the era of Qin Xiaogong and Shang Ying, King Wu of Qin came to power, and King Wu of Qin was a martial artist, thinking that force could solve everything. If that's the case? Qin no longer has allies. Without allies, the Qin State would be isolated and become the target of public criticism. No matter how strong you are, you won't be able to last long.

And also! He also wanted to take the opportunity to show that he was no longer working for the Wei State, he was not Gongsun Yan's second, he had a position.

And also! He also hinted that the new king of Wei was also an incompetent guy. A king like him can only say that he will not do anything if he mixes his life for personal enjoyment. Even! It is difficult to say whether the king of this land can mix up his throne and pass it on to his capable heirs.

Seeing that Zhuangzi Taiji pushed his hand over, he had to answer. And because of this! I have a new understanding of Zhuangzi.

Sir, it's really not easy! It's not someone like us who can easily trap it.

"The state of Qin is no longer the era of Qin Xiaogong and Shang Ying, nor is it the era of King Qin Hui. Right now! The state of Qin has changed dynasties. The current state of Qin is ruled by King Wu of Qin. This King Wu of Qin occupies his own strength and the strength of the Qin State, he thinks that he and his Qin State are the first in the world! ……”

Zhang Yi said what was in his heart one by one. A spit is fast, and a shot is uncontrollable.

His understanding is the same as that of Zhuangzi, who believes that the world is inevitably unified.

If the world cannot be unified, the people will never have a day to live. If a powerful country does not emerge and stand up to dominate the world, the world will always maintain the current situation, and there will only be wars one after another. Until the vassal states could no longer afford to fight, and there was not much population to feed the king and hereditary nobles.

And then! The vassal states recuperated and recuperated, developed the population, and made the country's comprehensive national strength stronger. And then! Start a new round of war, and so on.

In this period, the people! Always a victim. Procreate! Always controlling the pain of the people. People don't have children to experience family affection, but! Become a tool for kings to use. In order to achieve the purpose of war, in order to have enough people to maintain the supply of soldiers, the kings will encourage you to have children. And then! Use tactics to force you to hand over your son and go to war. And then! The people are full of grievances......

When talking about this situation, Zhang Yi cried.

As you can imagine! When the father and mother watched the painful scene of their son being pulled into battle. As you can imagine! When the father, mother, wife and children learned that their relatives died on the battlefield.

It is conceivable that whether it is a defeated country or a victorious country, when after a war, or after a continuous war, when there are no longer able-bodied adult men around, when there are cries of the people everywhere, the world is like a dark night, and there are wailing voices everywhere......
