Chapter 308: At least I had to go to junior high school
"It turned out to be Mr. Kong." Qin Yu said.
"This is Lao Cheng, this is Lao Zhu." Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"Hello three old gentlemen." Qin Yu asked the three of them very politely.
However, the three of them had their nostrils facing the sky and disdained to take care of them. sneered in his heart, he didn't even know the basic etiquette between scholars, you are not worthy of being a scholar at all, we have lost your holes, Cheng, and Zhu San's noble status as family members.
Qin Yu didn't care, thinking that it was not uncommon for some old people to have strange tempers now. thinks that he eats more salt than others eat rice, looks down on the juniors, and relies on the old to sell the old.
What's more, there is a high probability that a few of them still disagree with themselves on some historical issues.
"All three of them are history buffs, just like us." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Recently, we have had differences of opinion on some historical phenomena. No one could convince anyone, so I came to ask him for advice. ”
"We still need to ask him for advice?" Hearing the word "ask", Yan Shenggong smiled.
"The three of us ask for advice, I'm afraid he can't afford it!" Cheng Leshan Road.
"He doesn't even deserve to ask us for advice." Zhu Yuandian said coldly.
"What the hell are you arguing about?" However, Qin Yu still didn't care, and asked 'Village Chief Huang'.
"We talked about the five arts of harnessing the people." Zhu Yuanzhang didn't take the attitude of the three of them seriously, and replied vigorously.
"The art of controlling the people, this kind of profound knowledge, he is a countryman, I'm afraid he hasn't even heard of it, right?" Yan Sheng is fair.
"Yes, the art of controlling the people belongs to the art of the emperor controlling the people, only the noble royal family will know, and only some talents who can contact the royal family can understand a little bit or two." Cheng Leshan said, "And he's just a small people, an ignorant and ignorant rural fool." ”
"Boy, if you don't understand, we can explain it to you for free." Zhu Yuandian said.
"Isn't it the ancient emperor's trick of fooling the people?" Qin Yu smiled, "Outside, anyone who has gone to elementary school can control the five techniques of controlling the people, and the head of the analysis is clearly organized." ”
I secretly felt funny in my heart, these history lovers have lived in remote places all their lives. I don't know which book I saw the art of controlling the people, and I thought that it was some kind of advanced knowledge, and it was a knowledge that ordinary people could not touch, so I blindly became arrogant, thinking that others did not understand.
And the three history lovers also quarreled with Lao Huang because of this.
Village Chief Huang has spent more time with him and accepts his new views more. It is inevitable that there will be differences in understanding with these three old pedants who have not come into contact with modern civilization.
Looking at the appearance of the three people, I knew that they were very disdainful of their previous opinions.
In the end, Lao Huang couldn't convince them, so he came to find himself to help.
Interesting, interesting!
All four are funny, history buffs.
"Elementary school students?" Three old pedants, who still don't know what elementary school is.
"It's a child under the age of ten." Qin Yu explained.
"You said that all ten-year-old children outside know the five skills of controlling the people?" Yan Shenggong's expression froze, "It's just a big deception." ”
"You know, you can tell us about it." Cheng Leshan Road.
"The so-called Five Techniques of Harnessing the People were originally proposed by Gongsun Ying to the King of Qin, with the intention of maintaining the feudal rule of the Qin Dynasty." Qin Yu said, "The five techniques of controlling the people are divided into foolish people, weak people, tired people, humiliated people, poor people, if the five are not effective, kill!" ”
"It's all historical, not sophisticated. The intention was to teach the feudal emperor and control the people under his rule to the limit. Cruel, cold-blooded, and belongs to feudal dross. ”
"Feudal dross?" When the three of them heard this, their expressions were cold.
"By the way, you're arguing over this?" Qin Yu said.
"yes." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "The three of them all feel that as emperors, they must know how to control the people, so that they can benefit the stability of the emperor's country." ”
"What do you think?" Qin Yu asked rhetorically.
"We're just a little unsure, so I'm here to ask Mr. for advice." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Originally, we didn't approve of the art of fooling the people, but the three of them are extremely reasonable, and we can't refute it......"
"Can't even argue with a fool's trick?" Qin Yu said, "I've taught you so much historical knowledge these days. ”
"Lao Huang, it seems that your historical perception ability is not enough!"
"Sir, that's what you learned." Zhu Yuanzhang said embarrassedly.
"Bold, you actually use this tone, and the emperor...... The village chief speaks!? When Yan Shenggong heard this, he scolded angrily.
"Ahem!" During the process, Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly coughed twice to remind him, and when Yan Shenggong heard this, he immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing and corrected it. "Village Chief Huang, the village chief we all respect, you can't be rude to him."
I'm an old friend with him, and it's rude to say two words about him? You're too wide, aren't you? Qin Yu wanted to say in his heart. However, out of respect for the elderly, he did not refute it.
Instead, he said: "Since Lao Huang can't argue with you, let me try?" ”
"Three old gentlemen, what is your opinion on the five arts of controlling the people?"
"Humph!" Yan Shenggong snorted coldly when he heard this, and said: "Of course, I am in favor of it, as an emperor, you must know how to control the people. ”
"Why?" Qin Yu asked.
"As an emperor, if you don't know how to control the people, the world will be in chaos." Yan Sheng and Justice, "Tao Te Ching" said: Those who are good in ancient times are not enlightened people, but will be foolish. The people are difficult to govern, and they are wise. ”
"Therefore govern the country with wisdom, the thief of the country; If you don't govern the country with wisdom, the blessing of the country. ”
It means that from ancient times to the present, the emperor who governs the country in a way does not let the people open their minds, but makes them ignorant. The reason why the people are difficult to govern is because they are too smart. Therefore, the way of governing the country by opening the minds of the people will harm the country, and it is the blessing of the country to govern the country in a way that makes the people ignorant. ”
"Tsk, tsk, even the words in the Tao Te Ching have been moved out, it seems that the level of Chinese culture of the three old gentlemen is still a bit high." Qin Yu said when he heard this.
Turning his head to Zhu Yuanzhang, he said, "Village Chief Huang, I wronged you just now, and I apologize to you." From this Mr. Kong's quotation of scriptures, it can be seen that the three of them are indeed not so easy to deal with. ”
"You can't argue with them, no wonder you."
"Even in the Tao Te Ching, there are theories about foolish people, which is really not something that primary school students can refute, at least they have to go to junior high school."
"Humph!" Zhu Yuandian snorted coldly, "Old man and others, you don't need a nameless junior to pat the horse's beard." ”
"Am I also a slap horse?" Qin Yu smiled, "Actually, you haven't finished reading this article of the Tao Te Ching, and there are two sentences at the end: knowing these two is also a formula." It is often known that the style is Xuande, Xuande is profound, far-reaching, and opposite, and then even Dashun. ”
