"The reason why the three masters choose carefully, and the reason why the benevolent people are white. Those who choose well will control people, and those who are not good at choosing will be controlled by others. ”

……

"Those who hold the country must not be alone, but the strength of honor and disgrace lies in taking advantage of each other. Pure and king, refutation and hegemony, none of them died. ”

……

"The use of the country is also the use of the world; The master of the people is also the benefit of the world. Those who use the country will be the king of righteousness, the king of faith, the hegemony of faith, and the death of power. ”

……

"If the country is rude, it is not right. The reason why the rite is righteous is also the country, for example: it is still balanced to the weight, it is like the rope and ink is to the straight, and the rules are also to the square circle. ”

"The monarch, on the same phase, Chen Yifa, Ming Yizhi, to cover it, and to take care of it, in order to see its prosperity also. Ministers, on the length of the hundred officials, to listen to all things, in order to decorate the court ministers and hundreds of officials, to spend their merits, on their rewards, at the end of the year to serve the king. When it is OK, if it is not appropriate, it is wasted. Therefore, the monarch works hard to ask for it, and rests on making it. ”

"The upper part does not love the lower one, and the system is courteous. The upper is lower than the bottom, such as protecting the child, the government decree system, so the people who take over, there are those who ignore it, such as the end of the Hao, although the widow and widow are lonely, they will not be added. Therefore, the relatives of the next are like parents, and they can be killed but not disobeyed. Monarchs and ministers, nobles and lows, young and old, as for the common people, they all think that they are upright; Then they all introspect inwardly to be cautious. ”

……

"There is no country without law, and there is no country without law; There is no country without a wise man, and there is no country without a striker; There is no country without a people, and there is no country without a people; There is no country without beauty and customs, and there is no country without vulgarity. The two are parallel and the country is there, the upper deviation is the national security, and the lower deviation is the national danger; The first is king, and the next is dead. Therefore, its rule of law, its virtuous, its people's wishes, its vulgar beauty, and the four are together, and the husband is the one. If so, they will win without a fight, win without attacking, and serve the world without hard work. ”

Xunzi peddled his idea of governing the world to the Wei Guoshi people in the audience. Xunzi boasted that he inherited Confucius's thoughts, especially Confucius's "Waiwang Studies". He critically summarized and absorbed the theoretical propositions of the hundred schools of thought, and formed a distinctive view of nature that "distinguishes between heaven and man", a moral outlook of "dissolving nature and creating falsehood", a social and historical outlook of "the rule of etiquette", and a royal view of state governance. At the end of the domineering Warring States Period, Xunzi's thoughts brought a different kind of small and fresh feeling to everyone.

The sun spreads a soft light to the earth, and Xunzi, bathed in the light, seems to be draped in a golden shawl, giving the viewer a wonderful feeling of the birth of a saint. Xunzi's lecture lasted until noon, and then, under the guidance of his disciples, Xunzi entered the mansion of Xinlingjun.

"Sir, please come here." The disciple of Xinling Jun, who was less than thirty years old, said respectfully.

Xunzi, who was almost obsessed with etiquette, replied: "The gentleman is serious, the old man is a grass people, how dare he bother the king to lead the way, please go first, the old man has a disciple to guide the way, it is enough!" ”

"Okay, let's go to the feast with Lonely!" Xin Lingjun didn't want to say anything more about this subtle etiquette, so he replied casually.

After speaking, Xin Lingjun turned around and walked away, followed by Xunzi and invited guests like Zhao Jie.

The venue of the banquet was the garden in the palace of the Emperor of Shinreung. Flowers bloom in the garden, willows hang down, and verdant grass grows strongly. A ditch that diverts water is zigzag, hidden among the flowers and trees, and it is not known where it leads. The water in the ditch flows quietly and silently, and a few goldfish paddle leisurely in the water. Dozens of bamboo mats are placed on both sides of the ditch, and behind each bamboo mat stands a lovely maid.

"Thank you very much for being invited to my house." Xin Lingjun turned to salute everyone and said, "Everyone, please sit down at will!" When the people heard this, they sat down in groups of three and five in one party. Zhao Jie was no exception, and Li Min, Fei Jin, and Lou Fu sat opposite each other on both sides of the ditch.

"We are able to gather together today to thank Mr. Xun, it is Mr. Xun who allows like-minded us to meet here, and we thank Mr. Xun together." Shinling-kun proposed.

"Yes, we do want to thank Mr. Xun, your lectures have benefited us a lot, your theories have enlightened us, and your thoughts have illuminated the direction of our progress." Someone interjected: "Mr. Xun, thank you!" ”

Then everyone thanked Xun Guo one after another, and Xun Jing said again and again, "Don't dare to be!" Don't dare to be! ”。

After everyone thanked him, Xin Lingjun spoke again: "Today, the sages are complete, the young and salty gatherings, the winding water flows slowly, and the second is seated, without the chaos of silk and bamboo, and there is no labor shape of the case. The sky is clear, the wind is smooth, you can look up at the vastness of the universe, and you can look down on the prosperity of the category. At this time, I can do a trick of wandering, a song and a song, and believe in Coke. ”

When everyone heard this, they all said, "Yes! ”

The drama in Xinlingjun's mouth is Qushui Liuzhen. It is a kind of game of ancient literati, which first appeared in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and is said to have been created by the Duke of Zhou, and later became famous for Wang Xizhi's Lanting Collection Preface. The rules of the game are roughly that everyone sits on both sides of the canal, places wine glasses in the upper stream, and lets them go downstream, and whoever stops in front of the cup will take the drink, and chant poems against each other to enjoy each other, so it is called "the winding water flows". The wine glass, or wine glass, is usually made of wood, small and lightweight, with a bottom support, which can float in the water. There are also pottery ones, with ears on both sides, called "feather buds", because they are heavier than wooden cups, they are placed on lotus leaves when playing, so that they float in the water. Ancient "Yi poem" cloud: "Feather buds follow the waves".

In the ditch, the glass rotates and moves with the slow flow of water. The wine glass stopped in the water from time to time, and the people on both sides of the strait chanted a poem from time to time, made a wine order, wrote a song for one absolute, and the atmosphere of the drama of the song and water flowed reached a climax.

"Zhao people, Zhao Zhao, drink a glass of wine and chant a poem." The wine glass stopped in front of Zhao Jie, and the referee said loudly. Since Zhao Jie and Lou Ji are secret envoys, Zhao Jie did not use his real name on this open occasion.

Zhao Jie picked up the wine glass in the water, looked at it, smelled it, imagined it, and then drank it all.

"The golden bottle of sake is ten thousand, and the jade plate is ten thousand dollars. I couldn't eat when I stopped throwing my cup, and I was at a loss when I drew my sword and looked around. If you want to cross the Yellow River and ice congestion river, you will climb the snow-filled mountains of Taihang. Idle fishing on the blue river, suddenly take a boat to dream of the sun. It's hard to walk! It's hard to walk! Many divergent roads, where are you now? There will be times when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds will sail into the sea. ”

Zhao Jie's chanting was subdued and frustrated, and it was very emotional, which aroused everyone's unanimous admiration and also aroused the nostalgia of many people's difficult lives.

An hour later, the banquet ended. Because of a poem, Zhao Jie was in the limelight at the banquet and successfully attracted everyone's interest, so he was invited by some people in power in Wei, of course, there was also Xinlingjun among them.

"Great talent, my family is invited, please come with me." When Zhao Jie was greeting several Wei authorities, Xinlingjun's doorman came to his side and invited.

"The gentleman invited him, so he didn't continue to talk to a few people. In the coming day, I will come to the door to bother and say goodbye. Zhao Jie said goodbye. After speaking, he followed Xinlingjun's doorman and left.

—————————————————————————————————————

At the same time, in the palace of Zhao State, Handan, and King Zhao, all the people were busy. More than a dozen doctors shuttled through the small room. Zhao Jie's father knelt on the edge of the bed and fed Zhao Wang medicine one by one, but Zhao Wang did not react at all, and most of the medicine fed into his mouth flowed out along the corners of his mouth. The only sign that King Zhao was not dead was the slightly heaving chest, which indicated that King Zhao was still breathing.

After feeding a whole bowl of medicine, Zhao Dan patted his unconscious legs, slowly stood up, and walked out of the dormitory. At the door of the dormitory, more than a dozen doctors knelt silently in front of Zhao Dan.

"You waste, the king has been in a coma for five days, don't you have any good way to make the king wake up again?" Zhao Dan scolded angrily.

More than a dozen doctors remained silent, allowing Zhao Dan to beat and scold.

"Why don't you make a sound, are you all dumb? Listen, if the king goes to sleep forever, I will let you sleep forever. Zhao Dan threatened more than a dozen doctors.

"The prince spares his life! The prince spares his life! A few doctors knelt down and begged. The king is running out of oil, and the lamp is dry, but can he be saved by manpower? Unless the gods come into the world, there is absolutely no possibility of continuing life. A bold doctor said loudly.

Zhao Dan was stunned when he heard this, this was the reality he was most unwilling to accept. "The king can hold out for a few days, you can answer!" Zhao Dan asked with a slight choked hand pointing at the bold doctor.

"Back to the prince, the day of the king's ascension to heaven should be in the near future, five or six days at the longest, two or three days at the shortest," replied the bold doctor.

"I command you to continue your life for the king as long as possible, the longer the better, and if you can wake up, the better." Zhao Dan ordered sharply: "If you can let the king live for more than six days, I promise not to blame you and let you go home safely." ”

"Prince Xie." The doctors kowtowed and thanked them.

After speaking, the doctors left one after another and devoted themselves to their busy work again, while Zhao Dan returned to the Qinzheng Palace, where he handled state affairs.

"Jiansheng, there's something to trouble you." Zhao Dan said to Zhao Jiansheng, the head of the guard beside him.

"Please ask the prince to command." Zhao Jiansheng, who was heavily armed, knelt down on one knee and said.

"Hurry up, go to Wei to find Jie'er and come back, so that he can see his grandfather for the last time." Zhao Dan commanded.
