If you want to slander Lao Zhuang's way, Chao Buzhi really doesn't have it, but Huang Sheng will not let go of this opportunity, if he doesn't say bad things about him in front of the Empress Dowager Dou, Chao Buzhi himself won't believe it.

What is the character of Chao Buzhi in his previous life?

That was to pass the national examination of thousands of troops to cross the single-plank bridge, but he willingly chose the position of a provincial librarian.

Although this position is relatively lofty, there is Lao Tzu Li Er in the distance, there is a sweeping monk in the illusory world, and there is Emperor Taizu nearby, but Chao Buzhi really didn't think like this at the beginning, he is the master of an idle cloud and wild crane, so how could he slander "Lao Tzu"?

Although when Chao Buzhi scolded Huang Sheng just now, there was a sentence that said, "Is it possible that you are stupid to read "Lao Tzu"?" It confirms the correctness of Huang Sheng's words from the side.

But this can't be generalized, because who doesn't eat dumplings during the New Year?

So even if Chao Buzhi's treatment of the Empress Dowager Dou has some effect, there is always such a thorn in the heart of the Empress Dowager Dou.

Chao Buzhi shook his head, and said in a sincere tone: "Queen Mother, the minister was originally just a cloth cloth in Yingchuan, without size, because he was worried about his nephew, so he entered Chang'an with his eldest brother, and before that, the minister had never seen outsiders, and after coming to Chang'an, he also lived in a simple place, and he didn't like to make friends with the world, and he has always done his duty. ”

"Even if it is the person who is friends with it, it is only a few people such as Jia Qing, Tian Wei, Zhang Tang, etc., if the Queen Mother has the heart to check, she will know."

"Only today when I have a grudge with Huang Sheng, I don't dare to comment on his heart, but the minister will never say such a levelless thing."

After listening to Chao Buzhi's self-defense, Empress Dowager Dou's face softened a lot, because she understood the meaning of Chao Buzhi's words, Chao Buzhi had never been out of the house, and he hadn't made many friends, so how could these words get out?

How did Huang Sheng know? The two have long had a grudge, so this could only be a fictitious thing.

Empress Dowager Dou nodded, and said self-deprecatingly: "The old body understands, people are a little confused when they are old. ”

This sentence was a pun, Chao Buzhi didn't dare to take it, but he smiled, and the Empress Dowager Dou nodded him and scolded with a smile: "You are also a little slippery head, and you don't dare to do anything like Doctor Chao at all." ”

Chao Buzhi smiled when he heard this: "What the Queen Mother said is very true, and the ministers often think so. ”

"But what's the fun if everybody has a straight face every day, like my nephew Chao Cuo?"

Empress Dowager Dou smiled, and then asked, "Chao Langzhong, what do you think of "Lao Tzu"? ”

Although the Empress Dowager Dou asked very casually at this time, Chao Buzhi didn't dare to be careless, thought for a while and said: "Queen Mother, although the minister does not have much contact with Lao Zhuang, but the minister is very familiar with the "Warring States Policy" (the title of the book is set by Liu Xiang, here for the convenience of the plot). ”

"Warring States Policy" is a country-specific historiography, also known as "National Policy".

It records the events of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the countries of Qin, Qi, Chu, Zhao, Wei, Han, Yan, Song, Wei and Zhongshan, and the chronicle begins in the early years of the Warring States Period and ends with the destruction of the Six Kingdoms by Qin, with a history of about 240 years.

It is divided into 12 strategies, 33 volumes, and a total of 497 articles, mainly describing the political opinions, words and deeds strategies of lobbyists during the Warring States period, and can also be said to be a manual for lobbyists' actual combat exercises.

This book also shows the historical characteristics and social features of the Warring States period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and is an important classic for the study of the history of the Warring States Period.

The ideological tendency of the book "Warring States Policy" has been criticized by scholars of all generations because it contradicts Confucian orthodoxy.

"Warring States Policy" was once denounced as a "heresy" and "a book of apostasy".

"Warring States Policy" is basically a family of its own, its moral and philosophical outlook is mostly Taoist, and its social and political outlook is close to Legalism, which is incompatible with Confucianism, so it has been criticized by later scholars.

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Dou nodded, which seemed to mean that you kid is finally a little superior.

Empress Dowager Dou then asked: "Which one do you most admire in "Warring States Policy"? ”

Chao Buzhi raised his head and glanced at the Empress Dowager Dou lightly, and then said in a voice that only two people could hear: "The minister's most admired is "Touching the Dragon and Saying the Empress Dowager Zhao". ”

Hearing this name, Empress Dowager Dou couldn't help but be stunned, and then laughed loudly: "When the old body wants to see you today, they all say that you have the talents of Su Qin and Zhang Yi, and the advantage of your tongue is comparable to a sword. ”

"Touching the Dragon and Saying Empress Dowager Zhao" is a famous article in "Warring States Policy".

It mainly tells the story of the Warring States Period, when the Qin State took advantage of the change of power in the Zhao State to attack Zhao on a large scale and occupied three cities of the Zhao State.

The situation of Zhao was critical, and he asked for help from Qi. Qi must have Zhao Weihou's youngest son Chang'an Jun as a hostage before he was willing to send troops.

Zhao Weihou doted on Chang'anjun and insisted on refusing, which led to a deepening national crisis.

"Touching the Dragon and Saying the Empress Dowager Zhao" is written in the critical situation of a strong enemy pressing the situation, and the Empress Dowager Zhao strictly refuses to admonish, Touching the Dragon is guided by the situation, overcoming the rigid with softness, and using the principle of "the beloved son is far-reaching" to persuade the Empress Dowager Zhao to let her beloved son pledge in Qi, in exchange for saving the soldiers, and relieving the story of the country's crisis, and praises the quality of Touching the Dragon to put the interests of the country first and the ability to do ideological work.

However, at this time, Chao Buzhi said this article, which has the same effect.

At this time, within the Han Dynasty, although it is thriving and the people are abundant, but the princes are numerous, and the undercurrent is surging.

In addition, what Chao Buzhi said just now, if the princes and kings are not removed, Emperor Jing and King Liang will not be at peace, and the Empress Dowager Dou is unwilling to take care of things because of sadness, so at this time, Chao Buzhi will use this to stimulate the Empress Dowager Dou, everything is a matter of course, and there is no trace of an axe and chisel at all.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager Dou not only did not get angry, but praised him for his wit and eloquence.

Chao Buzhi said with a smile: "This is also the Queen Mother's kindness, otherwise how dare the minister say such things?" ”

"The old body has to admit that what you said makes sense, but now the old body is just a blind old woman, and her son is wise and martial, what can the old body do for them?" Empress Dowager Dou asked.

Chao Bu's heart is finished, just wait for your old man to say this.

"Queen Mother, your energy is great, because there are some things that only you can make some people move." Chao Buzhi said with a smile.

The three of them ordered some food, looking at these plates and plates, all the colors and flavors, Amohe's index finger moved, and the three of them hurriedly began to eat.

While eating Amohe, I thought that the food of the Han people is good, and the next time I go to Koubian, I must catch a few Han cooks, so as to ensure that there will be food every day in the future.
