After appointing Kong Qiu as the governor of Huiji County, Qingji sat down with him again.

"Zhongni, how can Si be in politics?"

"Respect the five beauties, screen the four evils, and Si can be in politics."

Five beauties and four evils?

Qingji was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What are the five beauties?" ”

"A gentleman is benevolent but not expensed, hard work is not resentful, desire is not greedy, Thai is not arrogant, and mighty is not fierce."

"What's the explanation?"

Following Confucius, who often chews words and speaks crepe, it is a kind of "torture" for Qingji.

This is really the highest level of ancient outfit ratio!

If you don't have enough ink in your stomach and your level of education is not high enough, you really can't understand the meaning of Kongqiu's words.

Confucius replied: "Great king, because of the interests of the people, it is not necessary to benefit from it?" Choose to work hard, and who complains? Want to be benevolent, but also greedy? ”

"A gentleman has no widows, no small and big, no dare to be slow, and he is not arrogant? The gentleman is dressed properly, respects his gaze, and seems to be feared by people, and he is not powerful but not fierce? ”

"What are the four evils?"

"The four evils are also, killing without teaching is abuse, not abstaining from the violence of being said, slow orders lead to thieves, and people are also, and the cashier's miserliness is said to be a division."

"Good!"

This is really listening to your words, better than reading a book for ten years!

There is no doubt about the cultural level of Confucius, after all, he is a philosopher known as the "Master of All Ages".

The five beauties proposed by Confucius are:

A gentleman brings good to the people, but he spends nothing.

Arrange for labor, but the people do not resent;

have desires, but not covet wealth;

Comfortable and reserved, not arrogant and presumptuous;

Solemn and majestic, not fierce.

The four evils proposed by Confucius are:

If you don't educate you in advance, you will kill if you make a mistake, which is called abuse;

Without warning or greeting in advance, but asking for success immediately, this is called violence;

Giving an order very late, but asking for a deadline, is called a thief;

It's the same thing for people.,It's very stingy when you take it out.,It's called Ariji.。

For Confucius's ability, Qingji still trusts more.

When he was young, Kong Qiu used to be a commissioner and a field, and he could do almost perfect things, no matter how big or small.

The commissioner is a petty official who manages the warehouse, and Chengtian is the petty official who manages the pasture, which is insignificant, but at least Kong Qiu has some political experience and started from the grassroots officials.

It's a pity that Kong Qiu has never met in the country of Lu.

Qingji vaguely remembers that Confucius in history was not appointed as the central capital until he was fifty-one years old, and his political achievements were very remarkable; A year later, he was promoted to Sikong, and later to the position of Grand Sikou.

At the age of fifty-six, he was promoted to acting prime minister, in charge of foreign affairs.

It is worth mentioning that at that time, because Confucius was promoted too quickly, he did not meet the promotion standards of courtiers, so he was the acting prime minister.

Confucius was in power for only three months, and all aspects of Shandong's internal and foreign affairs have made great improvements, the country's strength has increased greatly, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and each abides by the law of etiquette.

At the same time, Confucius also used diplomatic means to force Qi to return a large territory of Lu that had invaded Lu during the war.

Confucius's outstanding ability to govern made the Qi State feel threatened, so he set up such a despicable scheme as sending Lu Aigong a beautiful woman and a good horse to make the Lu monarch indulge in wine, so as to squeeze out the moral saint Confucius.

There is no doubt that Confucius did have a talent for governing the country.

The reason why Qingji did not dare to appoint Kong Qiu as Dazai or Prime Minister to govern Wu was because the national conditions of Wu were not suitable for Confucian governance.

Qingji takes the "domineering" line of Legalism, and the "soft" line of Taoism, plus the "benevolence and righteousness" of Confucianism.

Confucianism makes people good, but celebrating jealousy is not good......

"Zhongni, you can take all the disciples into Vietnam and educate the Yue people."

Qingji said to Kong Qiu earnestly: "The Yue people were born between the poor mountains and bad waters, unruly, and did not obey the king, and the widows hope that after you take office, you can advocate the Confucian doctrine of benevolence and righteousness, unite the Yue people, and make them return to their hearts as soon as possible." ”

"Minister, obey the king's orders!"

Kong Qiu immediately agreed.

"Do it well!"

Qingji smiled slightly and said, "Zhongni, the widow looks forward to the day when your Confucianism can be carried forward in Huiji County. ”

"If the people of Yue in the future know etiquette and abide by etiquette, the widow should also order Zhongni to assist the national government, so that Confucianism will be the manifestation of the world, and it will reach the world!"

"Yui!"

This is precisely one of the great long-cherished wishes of Kong Qiu's heart.

For such a heavy use of his own Qingji, how can Kong Qiu not be grateful?

As a celebratory jealousy of the superiors, painting a big cake for his subordinates is a habitual method.

There is no Confucianism that has been emasculated like later generations, and Qingji may not be able to let it take root in the Wu Kingdom.

……

Chu State, Yingdu Palace, main hall.

Hundreds of ministers and doctors sat on the left and right sides, sitting on the throne, on the throne, the king of Chu Xiong Zhen sat on the throne, calm and relaxed, vaguely with the temperament of the superior.

On one side of the majestic platform, a screen is set up, and through the curtain, you can see a graceful and graceful beautiful woman sitting inside.

She is the wife of Chu - Meng Huan.

At this time, there was no honorific title of "Queen Mother", so the mother of the monarch was generally called the Queen Mother and Mrs. Tai.

Although Xiong Zhen was sixteen or seventeen years old, he had not yet reached the age of pro-government, so Mrs. Meng Huan listened to the government and ordered Yin Nangwa and Gongzi Shen to be responsible for assisting the state affairs.

"Foreign minister, the Shaofu of Wu has been left, see the King of Chu! I've seen Kokuta! ”

As the envoy of Wu, he was already standing in the court hall of Yingdu, and bowed to Xiong Zhen and Meng Huan on the majestic platform without humility or arrogance.

"The quilt doesn't have to be polite."

Xiong Zhen raised his hand and let the quilt leave.

"Shaofu? Quilt, I don't know what kind of official this Shaofu is? ”

The King of Chu asked again in puzzlement.

"Back to the King of Chu, Shaofu is in my Wu country, and it is one of the nine Qings to pay the taxes of the mountains and seas and Chize, and to give it to the officials who are co-raised."

Hearing this, Xiong Zhen smiled and nodded, "Good! King Wu can make a prince like a quilt make Chu, which shows that he attaches great importance to it. ”

"I don't know what happened when King Wu sent an envoy to Ying?"

was left and said slowly: "The king of Chu is really a noble man who forgets things. Don't you know that the Ru Chu army, taking advantage of the battle between Wu and Yue, attacked me Wu Diye? Now that the war is going on, the victory and defeat have been divided, but your country is still occupying the long shore of our Wu country and not returning, how can it be reasonable? ”

"That's why the foreign minister is here to ask the king of Chu to return to Chang'an. So as not to hurt the harmony between Wu and Chu! ”

"What? There is such a thing! ”

Xiong Zhen seemed to be really unaware, looked left and right, looked at the ministers under His Majesty, and asked in surprise: "Second and third sons, can there be such a thing?" The widow remembers that Chang'an has been the city of my Chu State from beginning to end, so how can it belong to the rule of Wu State? ”
