Chapter 4: Closed-door Disciples

Liu Bei asked Qin Mi, now that Fazheng and Pang Tong are not competing peacefully, but fighting for power and power, attacking each other, this problem is very strict, is there a way to solve it? Qin Mi frowned, saying that this matter was indeed a bit troublesome to deal with......

"In the past, Confucius died, and the crowd mourned, which was to pay tribute, and Zixia and others thought that they were like saints, and they wanted to do things, and Confucianism was divided into eight - the sages were still in the party, and the situation was Confucian?" I think that after the death of Confucius, the disciples gathered together to mourn the teacher, and those who went in and out had to pay homage to Zigong, indicating that Zigong was regarded as the heir of Confucius. But Zi Xia, Zi Zhang, Zi You and others felt that Youruo looked more similar to Confucius, so they planned to serve Youruo as if they were serving Confucius - that is, they supported Youruo as the new head of Confucianism. Qin Mi said that the disciples of saints are still like this, let alone today's scholars? It's normal for each to form a gang.

"Emperor Gao destroyed Qin Xinghan, and played the rank of meritorious heroes, with Xiao Xiangguo as the first, and the military ministers were not satisfied, and Xiandai Cao Xiangguo (Cao Shen), Du Hu Qianqiu excluded public opinion. It is known that in ancient times, civil and military affairs were light, and things were often done, such as Lian Po wanted to humiliate Lin and Lin was similar. And if you know the advance and retreat truthfully, it is quite cheap, and you will be guilty. Today's law filial piety, Pang Shiyuan, both civil and military, and arrogant, the two cars together, eventually become a dead end, this must not be ignored. ”

Civilian, official and military generals have always been, and they are likely to despise each other, just like Lian Po and Lin Xiangru, fortunately, Lin Xiangru knows that he will abolish selfishness for the country, and he has taken the initiative to avoid it many times, so he finally moved Lian Po, and ran to Lin Mansion to take the blame for the crime, and performed a touching play of "Harmony". The problem is now Fa Zheng and Pang Tong, the two are both civil and martial, and they don't like each other. It's not because of different strengths. Contrary. It's because their talents are all bumping together, and no one is willing to succumb to the other. If these two people collide head-on on the street in a different car, then no one will definitely give in, maybe until the earth is desolate......

Liu Bei nodded while listening, and said Sir, your analysis is correct, but I understand all this, but how to solve it?

Qin Mi said that I just gave a lot of examples, but in fact, the solution is implied: "Ming Gong thinks about it." Civil and military enemies, Emperor He Gao has nothing to worry about? Why doesn't Cao Xiangguo talk about Xiao Xiangguo? Instead, follow the rules. Everyone has a party, and Wei is not exempt, so why does Wei Gong have nothing to worry about? "There must be party strife there in Anyi, why didn't I see Cao Cao's big head (in fact, Cao Cao also has a big head, but others can't see it)? Do you understand what this is?

"For example, there are many beasts in the forest, and wolves can be traitors and seek common food; but they have little to eat, and they will fight with each other. Now Cao Cao is in the Central Plains, coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes. The shortage of officials is to set up a central and imperial examination. Is the wolf bèi all have food also, Shang An fights for? And Shu is small, Ming Gong is in the middle of the feather pass, and people's hearts are uncertain, so they compete with each other. ”

To put it bluntly, when a regime is on the rise, the future is infinitely vast, and there are more and more divisible pies, so the big guys are busy grabbing interests outside the regime, and it is not easy to have any internal disputes. And when a regime can't see much room for expansion, and naturally everyone is inward-looking, and wants to take an extra bite of the inherent pie, how can it not attack each other and take profits?

"Today, the Ming Gong wants to defend himself, so as to wait for Wei Zhi to attack, defend and the people's hearts are afraid of chaos, and the people's hearts are chaotic and internal strife will arise. If the army is sent out from the outside, so that everyone has his own desires and each has his own take, and the internal strife will be settled. "Defense is not a good strategy, it is difficult to unite people's hearts by defense, and it is necessary to show the trend of external expansion at any time, so that the courtiers can see the immediate interests, so that the natural struggle can be rested, and the whole body is united.

When Liu Bei heard this, he was silent, and only after a long time did he say, "What Mr. said is true." However, now that the food is scarce and the soldiers are tired, I am afraid that there will be no way out. "Qin Mi said that I didn't plan to instigate you to fight Cao Cao, let alone Cao Cao, even if you fight Lu Bu, I'm afraid the strength is not enough, I can see this clearly-" Nanzhong is vast, before Pang Shiyuan's initial ear, the people of Huayi, have two hearts, that is, to deter it with the division of a brigade, but to reassure the people, and set the rent. At the beginning of the Wei Dynasty, Jingnan, the water is far away and the mountains are long, and it is difficult to go deep, so that Fa Xiaozhi can enter Yulin from the Yulin, collect and hand over the state, and think that it is the auxiliary ......"

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and asked Liu Bei rhetorically: "I heard that Ming Gong and Cangwu Taishou Wu Ju have an old relationship, but is it?" Why not? ”

Liu Bei suddenly realized, praised him repeatedly, and talked with Qin Mi for several hours before respectfully sending him out of the door. Turning his face, he asked Jian Yong: "Qin Ziyi wants to release Shiyuan Nanzhong, and he is filial piety, which is Gongye?" Or is it the private of the Shu people? "He proposed to drive Pang Tong to Nanzhong and Fa Zheng to Jiaozhou, is it to give them a place for the natives of Shudi?

Jian Yong said with a smile: "People are selfless, and it is better to use people's selfishness than to employ people's selfishness." Shiyuan, filial piety, the lord's arm, how can he be reckless? It can make Yuan directly patrol the south and enter the toe, which not only guides its momentum outside, but also weakens the wings of the two, isn't it also good? ”

I know you are reluctant to be Fa Zheng and Pang Tong, but Qin Mi's strategy does have its merits, why not send Li Yan and Xu Shu to do this? On the one hand, as Qin Mi said, maintaining the momentum of expansion can reduce internal strife, and on the other hand, releasing one important figure from each of the two factions of Jingzhou and Dongzhou, and weakening their power at the same time, how much more chaos can they make?

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this: "Xianhe Zhenwu Zhang Liangye!" Twisting his beard and thinking for a while, "Let's wait for the public, and then it will be feasible." After saying these two sentences, his thoughts suddenly jumped: "Xianhe, and I will talk about Kong Wenju for me......"

There is an undercurrent within the Yizhou group, and the factions such as Yuancong, Jingzhou, Dongzhou, and Shudi are vying for power, but because Liu Bei's skills are still old, they have not caused a big disaster for the time being, so they will not mention it for the time being. It is said that the Cao Cao Group has temporarily entered a period of relatively stable development, focusing on digesting the newly acquired Jing and Yang land, accumulating grass and grain, in order to march westward. Although Zhongzhong Shixun is an important minister, the system is established, and Liu Ye and Dong Zhao are their assistants.

Let's say that this day is the period of rest, Yesun slept lazily again, and didn't get up until the third pole on the day, and then when others were eating, he ate breakfast with porridge and side dishes, and after the meal, he shook it three times and came to the front yard.

Some servants had already set up tables, chairs, and seats, and Lu Yu's Lu Zi family led the disciples to come to pay their respects, and presented their homework, and asked Shixun to check it. Shixun didn't bother to look at the words, he sat on the chair, waved his hand, and you started to endorse it.

——Scholars should study the classics, and all those things have to be memorized, otherwise they will grow up and mingle in the Shilin in the future, and they will not be able to export chapters and quote scriptures.

Fortunately, the gap between the literary language and the spoken language in these years is not too big, even if the classics of the Zhou Dynasty (the earliest can be pushed to that time), people at this time can read it, just like primary school students in the 21st century reading "Water Margin" and "Journey to the West", it is easy to find the sense of language. In addition, Shi Xun deliberately takes care of Lu Yu, don't teach those children in the old way, recite first and then explain, let's give them one by one, explain first and then recite - "Know the meaning of the text, and silent recitation can get twice the result with half the effort, otherwise it will be twice the result with half the effort." ”

The usual teaching method in these years is to let you memorize it first, wait until you are familiar with it, and then the teacher will explain the meaning - or even not talk about it at all, so that you can experience and understand it yourself. The reason is also very simple, when teenagers enter school, there are no enlightenment readings such as "Three Character Classics" and "Hundred Family Names", and the Qin Dynasty's "Calendar" and "Erudition" are also scattered. It's better to memorize it first, and wait until you are familiar with it, and then it will be twelve or thirteen, and then there will be the possibility of reasoning.

However, these little disciples accepted by Xun, Qin Lang, Chen Jun, Zhang Ji, Xiahou Wei, etc., are already more than ten years old, and even the youngest Sima Yong was ten years old when he started, and no matter how difficult he was to learn, he had already been forced by his family to memorize books for several years. Endorse me here? What a waste, but we can talk about it.

However, these children are all naughty and wild-minded, and often ask strange questions that even Lu Yu can't answer. Lu Yu reported that it was Xun, it was Xun who said that it didn't matter, you just talked about it, let them accumulate all their questions, and come to me to ask when they inspected - not to mention that Lao Tzu is the descendant of Zhengmen, everyone who has studied the scriptures, it is impossible to be stumped by a few children, and even if you can really ask questions beyond the times, I also have the insight of the times, and I still have eloquence at the worst, pointing to white and black, why is it difficult?

This time, the children lined up according to their age, and the one they recited in front of Shixun was "Mencius", one paragraph each. Shi Xun closed his eyes and listened quietly - whether he basically understood the meaning of the text, in fact, he could hear it by listening to the recitation, where the accent of a sentence should be placed, and where it should be Xiaodun, if you only know it but don't know why, you must have the tone and speed of speech.

Several children each recited a paragraph, and when they were finished, they asked their own questions, and Shi Xun easily answered them one by one. However, "Mencius" is not short, if the six children really memorize it in one breath and explain it, it is estimated that Xun will waste a whole day here - he will finish reciting "King Hui of Liang", and then memorize half of "Gongsun Chou". The last one is the youngest Sima Yong, Shi Xun almost didn't open his eyes, while raising his mind, he answered casually, and was about to get up when he opened his eyes, and suddenly heard a young and familiar voice:

"Mencius said: 'If the virtuous are empowered and the handsome are in power, all the people in the world will be happy, and they will be willing to stand in their ...... dynasty'"

Shi Xun suddenly opened his eyes, frowned, and couldn't help blurting out: "Why are you here?" ”

Originally, the six children were lined up in a row according to their age, and their height matched their age, and the top of their heads was almost connected into a diagonal line, but now there was another one at the end of the line, just two or three years younger than Sima Yong, half an inch shorter, so that this diagonal line continued to extend. Yes Xun naturally recognizes it, this is not my disciple, this is clearly the grandson of the Cao family, Cao Chao!

Alas, why are you so quiet, running around with me again? Your family doesn't care, huh? What about my servants? Why didn't you dare to let you in when you didn't come to pass the word? (To be continued......)
