Chapter 017: What Is the True King?
——
The boiling sound of the royal city has slowly receded with time, and the people of the royal city after the jubilation have once again entered the right life, the song is still the original prosperous song, but the country has undergone great changes, and the territory has doubled dramatically.
The dispute between Wei and Chu, which lasted for two years, has been settled, and Wei Guo immediately stopped swords, rested personnel and recuperated with the people, and the vast land that was beaten down urgently needed to be governed and digested, and the prime ministers on the left and right have been busy recently, and the imperial court has sent officials to Huaibei and Huainan counties to govern the people.
With the assistance of Jing Xuan and Ju Xin, the two prime ministers, Wei Zheng is very relieved to govern the land of Jianghuai, and he must have the style of a king for the king, Wei Zheng manages the courtiers under his command, and the courtiers go to govern one side, each performing its own duties, the king does nothing and the subjects are autonomous, and there is a trace of the charm of the way of Lao Zhuang.
"Yu'er can be in the Prince's Mansion?" In the Panlong Palace, Wei Zheng asked the old attendant beside him.
Now Ji Yu has reached the age of fifteen, since the death of Chen Zhen, the position of the prince and the prince has been vacant, and it has become a brain-draining thing to find a new teacher for the prince.
Wei Zheng also thought of a person, Su Dai was the most suitable, but Su Dai was forced to stay in Zhao by Zhao Yongnasi, so it was so great that King Zhao Wuling cut off Hu, Wei Zheng also scolded Zhao Yong a few times in secret, Su Dai was afraid that it would be impossible to sing for a period of time.
"Back to the king, the crown prince and the two princesses are in the Qishui Palace-Mulin Pavilion." The old chamberlain adheres to the Tao, Wei Zheng has never established a queen so far, there has been a royal clan, and finally after being severely reprimanded, no one dares to mention this matter, even the patriarch is silent, and others dare not dare, now Wei Zheng is the monarch for more than 20 years, accumulating a mighty monarchy, and no one can figure out the intention, so he does not dare to easily make a statement in the matter of the palace.
The old chamberlain glanced at Wei Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, can you order someone to summon the prince to meet you?" ”
"No need, the widow goes to the Mulin Pavilion Garden, just out of the palace to breathe." Wei Zheng stopped, then moved out of Chaoge and went to the villa on the bank of the Qishui River.
The autumn breeze is rising, and Qishui is quiet and gloomy.
On the nine-song corridor in the annex, in a shade pavilion, the two princesses of Lingfei and Huyin are here, in addition to the fifteen-year-old boy Ji Yu and several of his maids.
Wei Zheng came to the other garden, and the accompanying Zuo Palace Supervisor wanted to announce that the king was coming, but was stopped.
And at this moment, in the pavilion, Ji Yu accompanied the side of the stone case with a concentrated expression, and Hu Yin was in charge of the pen and ink, on the stone case was a flat white paper, Lingfei sat on one side and looked at it with a smile and a word. The two have always been close to each other, and the concubine is also defenseless against Hu Yin, perhaps because Hu Yin can't give birth, which is naturally close to her, from another point of view, she is no threat to the concubine, so why should she be unhappy with the king?
Ji Yu is only fifteen years old, but he also has a handsome face, but his face is green and has not retreated, and now he has not reached the age of the crown, and the crown ceremony will also be when he is twenty years old, so he did not wear a crown, at this time the prince looked at it without saying a word, and Hu Yin wrote down a word - Wang.
"Does the prince know, what is the true meaning of the word 'king'?" Hu Yin put down the brush, looked at the word "Wang" on the paper and asked. Ji Yu looked at it, shook his head and said nothing, Hu Yin smiled and pointed to the word "king" and said: "This king word, three horizontal and one vertical, seems to be a simple word, but it hides many mysteries in it, you see that this vertical runs through three horizontal ones, and this word 'king' is the most unsimple word." This vertical represents the Tao, and it is the way of the king; And these three horizontal represents the three elements of heaven, earth and man, and if the three elements are not passed, the king will lose his position and die, and one vertical is the one who participates in the three elements of heaven, earth and man, and only those who participate in the way of the three elements of heaven, earth and man are worthy of being the king. ”
At the end, Ji Yu was thoughtful, and after a while, he said: "Yu'er understands, the way of the king means that the three yuan pass and the king of the world, and if the three yuan is not passed, the world will die?" ”
"The prince is really talented." Hu Yin smiled approvingly and nodded: "This king character, you see, one of these verticals, do you know what kind of Taoist technique supports the three elements of heaven, earth and man?" ”
Ji Yu thought about it and suddenly felt that his eyes lit up, and said: "The royal way that Yin Niangniang said is quite similar to the Confucian way that my mother once taught Yu'er, and they all have the true meaning of helping the world. After speaking, Ji Yu added suspiciously: "But...... I defend the country is not Confucianism to govern the country, but to practice Legalism, the royal way of Confucianism to seek benevolence and righteousness, but the Legalist rule is domineering, the two are just the opposite, isn't it the opposite of each other? ”
Hu Yin said leisurely: "Therefore, this king character hides infinite mysteries, and it is the most difficult to understand. Ji Yu stared at the king character on the paper thoughtfully: "In this way, this king character is really not simple." Then he said: "Hey, Concubine Yin, you are so knowledgeable, can you tell Yu'er the true meaning of this 'king'?" ”
Hu Yin shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm afraid the prince is going to be disappointed, this palace just read some more books of sages, the true meaning of this king is really not something I can understand, only those who really understand the heavens, earth and people can know its true meaning, so only your father can answer the prince's question." ”
"Confucianism, Mo, Taoism and Taoism are all healing techniques. Whether it is a royal road or a domineering one, it is not important, only the right way is to strengthen the country and enrich the people. The sudden sound startled the people in the pavilion, and they saw Wei Zheng walking leisurely.
Before you see him, you hear his voice first. Of course, they could hear Wei Zheng's voice, everyone immediately hurriedly got up to meet the king, as soon as the monarch came, everyone got up and stood aside, Wei Zheng came to the stone platform and sat down alone in the position before Hu Yin, and also saw the "king" written on the paper on the stone case, and after a while, he looked at the fifteen-year-old boy Ji Yu: "The ancient characters were made, the jade king is the same word, this 'king' word is difficult to recognize and difficult to write, it is the most unstable word in the world, and it is even more difficult to understand its true meaning." Everyone in the world wants to be the king, and if they can't pick it, they will die if they are not the king. ”
"The son thanks his father for his teachings." Ji Yu bowed and said. Wei Zheng nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Yu'er is fifteen years old, which is not small. You can no longer be as small as usual, you are the prince of the country, the future lord of the country, and the king of forgiveness. Yuxuan Palace covers the books of the world's major famous sages, the way of Confucius and Mencius, the way of Huang Lao, the way of Confucianism and Modao, etc., and there are all kinds of books, and you can not be lazy when you are familiar with the books of sages, and your father will ask you at any time. After a pause, Wei Zheng continued: "Although I defend the country and practice legalism, but the learning of a hundred schools of thought has its own strengths, only by knowing its key points can we seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and the advantages are used by me, and the disadvantages are abandoned by me, and the king must not know its mystery." ”
"The sons and daughters must keep it in mind." Ji Yu agreed and gave up.
The autumn sun was sinking in the west, and the sunset dyed the pine forest all over the garden, Wei Zheng rarely had time to reunite with his family, so he stayed in the other palace today.
