There is a joke in modern politics about a journalist who once asked a rising political star how to put an elephant in the refrigerator.

The rising political star spoke eloquently and gave his own answer: first catch a cat, use all the resources, and make the cat admit that it is an elephant under a powerful offensive; secondly, to publish a plan to produce a refrigerator that could fit into elephants, and to mobilize national donations, but not actually to produce it; Then the witness is bribed to prove that the elephant has been packed in the refrigerator; Finally, the media was used to repeatedly emphasize the theory that "cats are the ancestors of elephants" to prevent future troubles.

This almost joke tells us what kind of people politicians are and what their so-called achievements are.

A politician is a person who takes political activities as his profession and engages in political speculation and plays with political power for the sake of certain political needs of his class, group or individual. Politicians have no principles, no positions, no beliefs, only themselves. Truth, justice, and ideals are but a façade for them. Politicians spend their lives chasing power, unscrupulous in order to achieve their ends, at the expense of personal interests, family members, political groups, and even everything.

Everything in the world appears in pairs, there is a positive and a negative, and the political world is no exception, and when God creates the things that politicians are far away from, he also creates the opposite of politicians - politicians. A politician is the complete opposite of a politician. Politicians need to have a certain degree of political vision and political ability, and they lead their own groups, groups, and political parties, adhere to their own beliefs, and strive for the prosperity of their country and the stability and good life of their compatriots. They are the center of political activity, they are the decision-makers of the whole situation, and they deal with people from all walks of life in order to achieve their goals and policies, and what they value is how to achieve their goals and policies, which is the only thing that makes them pay their attention.

Looking back on Li Dui's life, we can know whether Li Dui is a politician or a politician.

In 295 BC, the Dune Palace changed, Gongzi Cheng trapped King Zhao Wuling, put King Zhao Huiwen under house arrest, and Li Dui threw himself into it, so he was reused, and the glorious road of life began.

In 288 BC, Gongzi Cheng died, and Li Dui took refuge in King Zhao Huiwen and kept his position.

In 287 BC, Su Qin launched a joint army of five kingdoms (Zhao, Chu, Qi, Wei, and Han) to attack Qin, and Li Dui joined in due time to lead this joint operation, and the army of the six countries entered Tunchenggao (northwest of present-day Xingyang, Henan).

After a few more years, the Six Kingdoms attacked Qi, and Li Dui's haste was reckless, and he ordered Zhao to not get a single land after the war.

In 280 BC, Li Dui was deposed as prime minister, but he still served as Sikou.

In 275 BC, Li Dui married his daughter Yu Crown Prince and took refuge with the Crown Prince again.

Li Dui's life is a glorious life, the official to the country, Fengyang as a fief, the government of a country for more than ten years, during which he was a wife and a son, which can be regarded as the most minister. Summing up his life, if we evaluate him by the standards of the world's evaluation of politicians, he is a thorough politician, not a politician.

Li Dui forced his master father to death, and although he won his own glory and wealth, it brought the prosperity of Zhao to a steep end; The Magi who excluded the promotion of King Wuling of Zhao, although they retained their power, the situation of letting the Magi gather Zhao was not there, and the opportunity for the development of Zhao Guoda was missed; The Six Kingdoms attacked Qin, so that they were forced to remove the emperor's title under pressure, and gave up the plan to destroy the Zhao State, which was the only thing he did to benefit the Zhao State; During the attack of the Six Kingdoms, because of the Taoyi given to Li Dui when the Qi army destroyed the Song Dynasty, they failed to take the opportunity to seize more basic resources of the Qi State. In short, although Li Dui's talent is higher than that of ordinary people, he is not outstanding, he is too selfish, and he puts his family before the country, but he has a pair of eyes to judge the situation.

Turning the topic back to Zhao Jie's life. In the early morning of the next day, when Li Min said goodbye to Zhao Jie and others, the rest of the people also had their own plans, Zhao Ying, Fei Jin and Lin Shouyi made an appointment to go to Gaomi, the hometown of Yanzi, and then visit Xueyi, the hometown of Meng Weijun, and then go to Shenyi in Chu State to see what kind of place Guan Zhong's birthplace is, play in the mountains and rivers all the way, visit hermits, and finally live in Shenyi and wait for the arrival of others; And Lian Zheng and Zhao Ying prepared to go to Jimo and Ju County together to see the unyielding cities and people of Qi State. After some agreement, a day later, Fei Jin, Lin Shouyi, Zhao Ying, and Lian Zheng left Linzi one after another, and only Zhao Jie and Xu Yang were left in Linzi. In Linzi, Zhao Jie began his hard but happy school life, while Xu Yang was messing around in Linzi, making friends everywhere, spending a lot of money, and lingering in the land of fireworks and grass almost all day long.

*******************************************************************************

Although the disciples who studied in the Jixia School Palace, although they were not as many as the 10,000 people in their heyday, there were several thousand, and the corresponding ones were the bachelors of the Jixia School Palace, which reached 100 people in the heyday, and there are still dozens of people today. Similar to later universities, the Kenoshita Gakugu is familiar with the school and bachelor's degree before entering, and after 10 years, you choose your own tutor and study with him. There is a library inside the Jixia School Palace, which contains hundreds of books, the most in the world, the content of the book is all-encompassing, the history of ancient government decrees, the hundred schools of thought, the quotations of the sage hermit, all-encompassing.

In the sea of books, Zhao Jie forgot what he should have done - to understand the tutor, to understand the palace, he forgot to sleep and eat to absorb the nutrients, every morning, he was always the first to enter the palace, every night, he was always the last to leave, in the blink of an eye, ten years passed, it was time to choose a teacher, Zhao Jie suddenly became in a hurry, he suddenly found that he only knew one mentor, that is Lu Zhonglian, maybe he had heard his arguments, and saw his learning and wit, Zhao Jie chose Lu Zhonglian in a hurry.

Although the number of disciples who studied with Lu Zhonglian was less than the 3,000 under Confucius, there were still a few hundred. In order to ensure the quality of teaching, Lu Zhonglian divided these disciples into different levels according to their knowledge level, similar to today's technical secondary school, undergraduate, master's, and doctorate. Since Zhao Jie was a new disciple and had just entered the Jixia Academy, Lu Zhonglian assigned Zhao Jie to the lowest-level secondary school class.

This is the first time since coming to this world that Zhao Jie feels that he has been treated unequally, in terms of wisdom and martial arts, Zhao Jie is confident that he is a little higher than those disciples of Lu Zhonglian, but he is a freshman, so he is reduced to the most discriminated middle school class. What's even worse is that due to Lu Zhonglian's energy limitations, the teacher of the secondary school class is not Lu Zhonglian himself, but the doctoral students he brought. What do doctoral students know?

During the period of following Zhao Jiansheng to learn martial arts, Zhao Jie developed the will not to admit defeat, although he was treated unfairly, he felt that he was too unambitious to leave in such an unknown way. He is brewing revenge for unequal treatment, looking for an opportunity to vent.

On this day, the opportunity came, Lu Zhong held a big class, and all the disciples gathered together to listen to the teachings. In a large courtyard, the dark floor was filled with people, and the sun was shining brightly overhead. The huge courtyard was silent, and hundreds of people sat on the ground, waiting for Lu Zhonglian to appear.

After a while, an old man walked out of the inner room and sat on the same floor, Lu Zhonglian cleared his throat and took the stage to speak: "At the beginning of man, nature is good. As soon as the words fell, Zhao Jie stood up and said loudly: "At the beginning of people, nature is evil. ”

Lu Zhonglian said again: "There are chickens first." ”

Zhao Jie argued again: "There are eggs first." ”

Lu Zhonglian said again: "Green, taken from blue, and green from blue; Ice, water for it, and cold for water. ”

Zhao Jie's face was still pale: "Green, taken from blue, and blue is not as good as blue; Ice, water for it, and warm is not as good as water. ”

When encountering a student like Zhao Jie who raised the bar, he couldn't go to class, Lu Zhong snorted coldly and walked away. After venting the resentment in his heart, Zhao Jie suddenly came to his senses and found that he had done something stupid, he was angry, but he offended his mentor, maybe he was about to be kicked out of the Jixia School Palace, the classmates around him looked at Zhao Jie angrily, Zhao Jie forced himself to calm down, and pretended to be disdainful and left the lecture place.

Most of the masters of the Warring States Period were humble and able to teach them according to their aptitude, Lu Zhonglian was also such a master, and after being confronted by Zhao Jie in court, his anger quickly disappeared. In Zhao Jie, he saw the valuable quality of independent thinking that other students did not have. He knows very well that people who can only follow the crowd are destined to have no interest in their lives. He ordered someone to catch up with Zhao Jie, and the two had a long conversation in a peaceful and friendly atmosphere, during which Zhao Jie poured out many of his opinions to Lu Zhonglian. Lu Zhonglian Dayue immediately made a decision to promote Li Si to the doctoral class, and allowed him not to have to attend classes on time every day, he could do whatever he wanted. Under the careful guidance of Lu Zhonglian, it only took two or three months for Zhao Jie to make great progress in his studies and show his talent. Soon, his articles, scriptures, strategies, and debates were unmatched under Lu Zhonglian.

Later, a friend of Lu Zhonglian once asked him why he gave Zhao Jie such a good treatment, Lu Zhonglian sighed, and said to his friend privately: "This son is extraordinary, and his fame will surpass me in the future, and it is my luck to live in two eras with him, and the future era is likely to be dominated by him." Don't look at him as an ordinary child now, but he has the talent of a dragon and a phoenix, and the princes will definitely win the world with the assistance. The friend smiled faintly, not convinced.

When Zhao Jie was old, he wrote a memoir, in Zhao Jie's memoirs, Zhao Jie regarded this period as the happiest and most carefree time in his life, reading books, listening to teachers, making friends, everything was happy in Zhao Jie's opinion.
