Gou Shen turned around and bowed to Huang Ba, and then replied: "Back to the prime minister's words, magnanimity can cover the world, and then you can tolerate the world, credibility can cover the world, you can restrain the world, benevolence can cover the world, and then you can appease the world, and grace can cover the world, and you can protect the world!" ”

Huang Ba nodded lightly when he heard this, and he had the meaning of approving Gou Shen, and Gou Shen continued: "Therefore, for those who benefit the world, everyone in the world welcomes him to help him, and if the people of the world live a nourishing life, people are grateful to him, and if the people of the world are stable, everyone regards him as a dependent, which can only be done by a monarch with a Tao." ”

"Are you talking about the rule of saints?" Doctor Yu Dingguo suddenly asked, and without thinking about it, he replied: "Doctor Mingjian: The saint is not visible today, but only exists in legends, and my Han is now a prosperous age!" ”

Gou Shen's voice suddenly became louder: "Everyone is rich and rich, and their lives are safe and stable, who doesn't respect the Han Son of Heaven?" Now the Han world is the blueprint of the prosperous era depicted by the sage! ”

Liu Min listened to Gou Shen's voice, his heart was happy, he couldn't help but pause, bit his lower lip, his eyes stared at Gou Shen, and a pair of black eyes flashed a strange light behind the dark door of the hall.

In the main hall, as Gou Shen spoke, Liu Xun's smile became stronger, Huang Ba, Zhao Chongguo, and Yu Dingguo all stood up and bowed to Liu Xun, and said loudly: "Long live the Son of Heaven!" ”

Xiao Yu, Du Qin, and Zhai Fangjin have all seen the world, and at this time, they followed Huang Ba Yu Dingguo and Zhao Chongguo to Liu Xun, Liu Xun waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, Gou Shen." You continue. ”

Gou Shen bowed and saluted to the high Liu Xun. Then he said, "Heaven has his routine. And the people also have their own regular rules of life, living and working in peace and contentment with the people of the world, the world will be quiet and peaceful, isn't this the true portrayal of our Han today? ”

Gou Shen said, the smile on Liu Xun's face continued, and Liu Min, who was far away, asked softly: "Sister, is what Gou Shen said right?" ”

Liu Shi listened to Liu Min's words and replied: "The people will obey the decree when they are educated, and they will naturally be rich without extra burdens." There is some truth in what Gou Shen said. ”

Liu Min said happily when he heard this: "Yes, I said that my father and the emperor laughed." ”

Liu Min's eyes kept wandering on Gou Shen, and he paused for a while and asked, "They have been here for most of the day, can't they talk about it tomorrow?" You're not tired standing up, are you? ”

"I don't know, did you eat in the afternoon? …… I don't think so......"

Liu Min was actually distressed about Gou Shen, Liu Shi thought that her sister was saying that her father hadn't eaten yet, she didn't say a word when she heard it, thought about it for a while, and pulled Liu Min out. called a small yellow door and brought Liu Xun a bowl of soup, and then the two of them stood in the shadow of the door and watched inside.

Liu Xun waved his hand at this time to let Zhao Chongguo, Huang Ba and Yu Dingguo sit down. Asked Gou Shen: "Gou Shen, tell me how you can attack the enemy country without using force?" ”

Gou Shen was about to speak, and Xiaohuangmen served Liu Xun minced venison soup, Liu Xun looked at it suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "What time is it?" ”

The little yellow door replied, "Your Majesty, it is the twilight of the day." ”

The time of twilight is the time of the dog, the time of the Western Han Dynasty is also called the dog, there is the saying of the dog and the pig, the night is sluggish at this hour, and the dog begins to guard the door of the house, which is to prevent thieves.

It was between seven o'clock in the evening and nine o'clock in the evening in later generations, and in the era of the Western Han Dynasty, even if it was very late at this time, Liu Xun said: "I didn't realize that the sky was already like this." ”

Zhao Chongguo looked at it and said "oops" in his mouth: "Why did it come to this hour?" ”

Liu Xun instructed: "Send soup to the old general, the prime minister, and the imperial doctor, and also give a cup to the eleven newly promoted lieutenants to be elected." ”

"Let all the people in the front hall disperse."

The first time he saw the Son of Heaven, he could be rewarded with minced venison soup, and except for Xiao Yu, Du Qin, and Gou Shen, the other eight people looked very excited.

That Lu Ba was in good health, maybe he was hungry, and he drank the meat and soup in one breath, Liu Xun laughed: "I can't eat it anymore, this venison is strong and replenishes qi, Aiqing is young, and if you eat too much, you will have a nosebleed." ”

Liu Xun, the Son of Heaven, actually joked with Lu Ba, it can be seen that he is in a good mood, Lu Ba's face is red at the moment, and he wants to laugh in his mouth, but he doesn't dare to be presumptuous, and he is really uncomfortable.

Gou Shen will be reassured!

Really!

Because the Western Han Dynasty was not far from the Qin Dynasty, after the book burning pit of Qin Shi Huang, many classics in the Xia, Shang, Zhou, Spring and Autumn periods were nowhere to be found, so some of the military theories that he saw in later generations Liu Xun was not known in this era.

In this era, there was also a controversy between the ancient and the modern.

The controversy between the ancient and modern texts is also known as the controversy between the ancient texts and the modern scriptures.

The Western Han Dynasty began to respect Confucianism from Emperor Wu Liu Che, and some of the scriptures and doctrines before the pre-Qin Dynasty were almost completely destroyed after Qin Shi Huang burned books and Xiang Yu burned Xianyang.

Due to the dispersion of classical doctrines, by the time of Emperor Liu Heng of the Western Han Dynasty, some Confucian doctrines were dictated by teachers and the great Confucians of the time by memory, and written in official scripts, which is the so-called "Jinwenjing".

In the last years of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, some people found the "Book of Filial Piety" and "Yili" written in ancient characters in the walls of the ancient house of Confucius in Qufu, Shandong, as well as some ancient historical books found in the folk one after another, which are called "ancient scriptures".

Naturally, there are many differences between the content of these discovered classical works and the modern classics, so the Confucianism of the Han Dynasty is divided into the "modern literary school" and the "ancient literature school", and even the academic school is divided into the "Chonggu school" and the "Chongjin school".

The reason why there is a dispute between ancient and modern times is that many people feel that the phenomenon of artificial tampering with the modern scriptures is more serious, and the content is mixed with a lot of the ideological content of today's scholars, and consciously or unconsciously distorts the intention of the ancients and sages.

Of course, this is also related to the knowledge system and comprehension ability of later generations of scholars.

Because of all this, then, the knowledge about the way of war that Gou Shen just mentioned may have been mastered by himself in this era!

It is inevitable that the struggle between countries will be at its worst, but this Liu Xun blindly works "soldiers without blood", and he is always concerned about how to attack the enemy without using force. At this time, Gou Shen is seeking self-preservation. For this time a blockbuster. In order to be the captain of Huqiang as soon as possible, I can only follow Liu Xun's meaning.

"Your Majesty, how can you attack the enemy country without using force, it is a civil war."

"The civil warper, the soldier who surrenders without a fight."

"The two countries are at war, and they go to war and plot, then they fight and fight, and then they fight and they fight. Everyone understands the truth of attacking the city, but it is not easy to really do it. ”

Zhao Chongguo said at this time: "Sun Wu's art of war, the old man also dabbled in it, and what you said about going to the army and fighting is really known to everyone." ”

Gou Shen stopped going around in circles, and said in a deep voice: "The methods of Wenfa, Gou Shen thought that there were the following methods. ”

"One, according to the enemy's preferences. Be obedient to him and do as he pleases. In this way, he will grow pride. And definitely to do evil things. If I take advantage of the situation, I will be able to get rid of him. ”

"Second, get close to the close ministers of the enemy king, so as to divide the strength of the enemy country. If a close minister of an enemy country has two hearts, he will inevitably reduce his loyalty. If the enemy country has no loyal ministers in the court, his country will surely be in danger; ”

"Third, secretly bribed and bribed the enemy ministers, and established a deep friendship with him. If these people live at home and their hearts are set on foreign countries, the enemy country will surely be plagued......"

"Fourthly, to deliberately respect the loyal servants of the enemy country, to give him a small gift, to deliberately delay when he comes to negotiate with him as an envoy, and not to answer the questions to be negotiated, and to urge the enemy to send an envoy instead, and then to settle the negotiated matter in good faith, and to show him closeness in order to gain his trust, so that the enemy king can mend relations with our country. In this way, by treating the loyal and traitorous servants of the enemy country with different attitudes, we can divide the relationship between the kings and ministers of the enemy country, and thus we can seek the enemy country; ”

……

"10. Hypocritically subordinate to the enemy, so that you may gain his trust, and thus gain his heart. Obey his will and obey his requirements, as close as brothers. Once you have gained his trust, you can subtly control and exploit it. When the time comes, it can be easily destroyed as if it had divine help. ”

……

"XII. To prop up traitors of the enemy country in order to confuse the mind of its sovereign; To be humble and subservient to the enemy, you will inevitably gain his trust, and thus gain his inner feelings. Obey his will and obey his requirements, as close as brothers. Once you have gained his trust, you can subtly control and use it; Give it to a good dog and horse, so that it can indulge in the sound of the dog and horse to exhaust the body; Always report favorable situations to give him peace of mind. Then observe the favorable moment, and conspire with the people of the world to seize his country. ”

"From this, we can take military action. When the so-called upward observation of the sky, downward observation of the geographical advantage, and when all kinds of favorable signs have appeared, raise troops to crusade against the enemy country, and win the battle! ”

Gou Shen thought about it for a while, and added: "Wenfa has always been a strategy, and the final victory over the enemy country still needs to be attacked!" Once the success is achieved, the war is blood against blood, death against death, there is no mercy and forgiveness at all, therefore, strategy can only be strategy, after all, it still needs the final verdict of the Son of Heaven. ”

After Gou Shen finished speaking, the Xuanshu Hall fell into silence, Liu Xun carefully examined this young man who was not as young as the weak crown, and silently recited in his heart, "One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither?" ”

"If you fight a war, you will die, and if you work the people and lose money, it is better to fight the culture," Liu Xun looked at Zhao Chongguo, Yu Dingguo, and Huang Ba, and said: "The rest of the people's questions and answers, can there be anyone who likes it?" ”

Huang Ba replied: "Returning to Your Majesty, after a rough selection of ministers, old generals, and imperial historians, Liu Xin, Du Ye, Gu Yong, Yang Xiong, and Shen Gongquan all answered correctly and can be candidates. ”

Liu Xun listened to Huang Ba's words, his face was as usual, no one knew what the most powerful person in the Han Dynasty was thinking in his heart, but Huang Ba couldn't help but feel worried, because the people he said were either the heirs of the ministers of the court and the central government, or the children of the family, and he would be suspected of cheating with the ministers, but Liu Xun didn't wait long before saying: "Edict: Xiao Yu, Du Qin, and the five people who were later added by the prime minister are Huangmenlang. ”

"Jinmamen is waiting for the edict, with outstanding qualifications, and it is deeply appreciated, so it is exempt from the identity of the edict, and it is the yellow door for the sake of things."

"After tomorrow morning, Princess Wusun will choose a son-in-law, and she will choose from these sixteen people."

"I have become a Huang Menlang!" Gou Shen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, after climbing steadily, his goal was one step closer, and he could only succeed, not fail.

However, at the entrance of the main hall not far from Gou Shen, Liu Min was also happy for him.

And Huang Ba, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time. (To be continued......)
