Chapter 43: A Warning to the Kings
Wang Sheng saw that Zhang Ou was a little hesitant, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, and then continued: "How Uncle Zhang is a person, Your Majesty knows, Tao Gong knows, and everyone in the world knows, do you want to ignore your reputation for the sake of mistakes?" ”
"Uncle Zhang, you have to know that the Spring and Autumn Period is magnificent, and the history is like a knife!" Wang Sheng chuckled, his tone mixed with a hint of unusualness.
This sentence reminded Zhang Ou, and he said with a slight smile: "You are right, maybe this is why Confucius punished Shao Zhengmao, Li Si killed Han Feizi, and Bo Yao killed Wu Zixu." ”
"But Wang Sheng, you also have to know that there is an old saying: a good author does not have to be a good author, and a good beginning does not have to end well."
Originally, Wang Sheng still maintained this confident smile, but when he heard Zhang Ou's words, his face became a little stiff, and he heard the meaning of Zhang Ou's words.
Zhang Ou compared Tao Qing to Confucius, Li Si, and Bo Yao, Confucius has nothing to say, a generation of Confucian sages, although the status in the Western Han Dynasty is not very high, but Tao Qing can be regarded as a high climb.
Li Sinai is the prime minister of Qin, Zuo Shi Huang unified the six countries, abolished the division of the feudal and established counties, the means and mental skills are extremely powerful, and the writing is brilliant, Lu Xun once praised Li Si: "Qin's article, Li Si is alone", although the later history is a little blackened, but in general it is much stronger than Tao Qing, and it is not considered to bury Tao Qing, or look up to him.
But what the hell is Bo Ya?
Bo Yao is a man, happy with great achievements, greedy for money and lustful, regardless of the safety of the country for his own selfish interests, loyal ministers at home, and collaborating with the enemy country outside, completely losing the good qualities that a person should have, so that the state of Wu lost the favorable opportunity and gradually perished under the condition that Wu and Yue had absolute superiority in the struggle for power.
Zigong, a disciple of Confucius, commented on him: "'Dazai no' is a matter of things, and it is the rule of the remnants of the country to settle his own selfishness." ”
In today's Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas of China, "Bo Yao" is often used to describe a certain type of people (mostly derogatory).
For example, Suzhou and Wuxi, which were the core areas of Wu during the Spring and Autumn Period, had the saying that the wicked and traitors were called "Bo Yao". In Ningbo dialect, "Bo Yao" refers to people who are flattering, exaggerated, and good at telling lies to deceive for personal gain. In Jinhua dialect, "Bo Ya" refers to a person who is good at bragging and loves to talk empty words.
What's even more terrifying is the sentence behind Zhang Ou, "Good authors don't have to be good at success, and good beginnings don't have to end well", which means that those who are good at creating are not necessarily good at completion, and those who start well do not necessarily end well. It should be said that the world is unpredictable, and there are no absolute things in the world. There are many factors that affect the success of things, so don't always have too high expectations for the results.
This is what Wu Zixu said, teaching people to win the power of heaven and earth, there is no need to elbow the elbow, it is the work of Jieshi.
Therefore, Le Yi insisted on this to avoid disaster, Qi Tianshan was named after "quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit", so the wise man raised his virtue, did not make evil words, and did not keep his name.
Maybe Zhang Ou said these words just to vent it, after all, Tao Qing can only sit and talk in the eyes of the world, "rule by inaction", and his light is covered by mistakes.
But what Wang Sheng heard was that Zhang Ou was not very optimistic about Tao Qing, so Wang Sheng smiled and said, "It seems that Uncle Zhang doesn't want me to succeed!" ”
·········
Empress Dowager Dou nodded when she heard Chao Buzhi's humble words, and then asked, "Emperor, what do you say King Chu should do?" ”
Now don't worry about others deducting the, Emperor Jing's eyes flashed a trace of ruthlessness, and said without a trace of emotion: "Queen Mother, these current princes are lonely in the royal domain, and they have been arrogant for many years, and they have forgotten who is the lord of the world, and it is time to govern it well." ”
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Dou closed the door and pondered for a while, and said lightly: "That's it! The emperor, you asked the queen mother to give the king of Chu a warning to the kings, so that others would not repeat the mistakes of the king of Chu. ”
"No!" Emperor Jing said in a heavy tone, but Chao Buzhi still saw the joy of his mood from Emperor Jing's brisk steps.
At this time, the gate of Chang'an Chu Wangfu was closed, and the royal forest army stood outside the door, besieging the Chu Wangfu.
However, Liu Wu, the king of Chu in the palace, did not have the consciousness of being a prisoner at all, wearing a brocade robe, and tied two knots around his waist at random, which was very debauched.
To say that this Liu Wu has only done two things in his life, one is now waiting to be dealt with, and the other is the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu.
Unlike Liu An, the king of Huainan, that's really powerful!
is the author of "The Biography of Lisao", and the compilation of "Honglie", also known as "Huainanzi", is this? He is also the world's earliest practitioner to try hot air balloon lift-off, and is the founder of Chinese tofu.
But Liu An is not as good as Liu Wu is that Liu Wu has a granddaughter who is the princess of Xie Wu, who has been very beautiful in the future for a while.
At this time, the guards suddenly came to report, "King Qiqi, the minister of state and the Taifu are asking to see you outside the door." ”
Liu Wu held the wine glass, frowned, and was about to say that he was not seen, when Minister Zhang Shang and Taifu Zhao Yiwu jointly broke in.
Zhang Shang saw that Liu Wu was still drinking, and immediately became furious, and said sharply: "King, this time is the mourning period of the Empress Dowager, and Your Majesty already knows that you have been drinking and having fun during the mourning, how can you still do this?" You are forcing Your Majesty not to miss brotherhood! King. ”
Liu Wu suddenly said arrogantly when he heard this: "The minister of the country is really making a big fuss, the lonely Chu country is rich in land and resources, and there are tens of thousands of people with armor, and it is closely connected with the state of Wu. His head was caught in the door, and he dared to move alone! ”
Zhao Yiwu saw Liu Wuman's indifferent appearance, his angry hair was about to stand up, and he said angrily: "King, it's better to pay attention to your words, this time is in Chang'an, not in Chu State." ”
"The king is not subject to the king's transformation and has no repentance, how can the Son of Heaven forgive you? The hundreds of Imperial Foresters outside the gate are the proof. ”
"Haha, those Imperial Forest Army have been guarding the palace for many years, and they can't compare to the prince's guards in Shanggu." Liu Wu said disdainfully.
"This is in Chang'an, no matter how powerful the king's guards are, can they still compare to the fine willow camp?" Zhang Shang said sarcastically.
Liu Wu was choked unclearly, the fine willow camp and the border army are one of the few elite troops in the Chang'an court, which are used to suppress the existence of the Quartet, and he Liu Wu is also a member of the Quartet, he is also a little self-aware, so he suddenly said angrily: "I'm afraid of an egg!" The head fell off the bowl and had a big scar, and Lone didn't believe that Liu Qi dared to kill Lone. ”
At this time, there was a sudden sound of the collision of nails and leaves outside the door, and everyone in the room was very familiar with this sound, and Liu Wu's face changed drastically in an instant.
