You can't say that Professor Koo is a flawed person, because there are so many people who scold him, and he mostly laughs off, but you can't say that he is a magnanimous person, because he is indeed a proud little old man sometimes.

When Tsundere met Geng Zhi, there was an unexpected "covenant battle" today, commonly known as "Wen Dou", what is the specific "fighting" method, He Qi probably doesn't understand, so He Qi is very frightened in his heart.

Professor Gu tidied up his manners, got up and took off his hat, bowed to the spectators below, and then said: "The old man was born in the South Seas, studied in the West, and studied in the North Ocean. ”

Qian Xuan introduced He Qi and said: "On the West, there is no need, my friend, named He Qi, was born in Nanyang, and has traveled to Western countries for decades....... (500 words omitted here), he returned recently, aiming to serve the country and the people. ”

He Qi was stunned, he couldn't believe it, he tried to suppress the riot in his heart, quickly got up, and bowed down cheekily, but in fact, he was panicked in his heart, and he wanted to die.

This Nima, with a mouth at the beginning, the rest is all made up, and the proper resume is faked, but everyone present still believes it is true, which is really embarrassing for He Qi.

Qian Xuan was full of confidence, and said: "On the East, it is not a problem. ”

Professor Gu was calm and calm, showing strong self-confidence, shaking his hand and saying: "Western studies, there is nothing to talk about, and when it is spoken, not everyone understands it, and there is nothing to praise it." Since all of them are Chinese people, I will simply talk about the knowledge of Chinese people. The knowledge of the ancestors, broad and profound, exquisite, I Gu someone learned through the Chinese and Western, dozens of years of spring and autumn, only to the ancestors' learning, have a soft spot, so far dare not say to understand. Today, I would like to take this opportunity to talk about the knowledge of our ancestors. ”

Qian Xuan stretched out his hand and signaled, "Please!" ”

Professor Gu asked: "Master Qian, you just said that you are looking forward to the early death of the old man, since this is the case, then what do you mean by talking about this 'death'?" ”

Qian Xuan replied: "Death is well deserved!" ”

Professor Koo asked, "What does 'live' mean?" ”

Qian Xuan replied again: "Vigorous!" ”

Professor Gu smiled and said, "Master Qian only knows whether he is dead or alive, but can he know whether he is dead or alive?" ”

Qian Xuan said without thinking: "Life is in the world, live vigorously or die as it should, not die or live, linger, it is better not to live, it is a hundred." ”

"Definitely!" Professor Gu said: "Death is simple, just a rope, and living is difficult, not dying or living, it is even more difficult." Dead and alive, after all, it is a small number of people, the vast majority of people, are immortal, food, clothing, shelter and transportation, natural and man-made disasters, it is not easy for ordinary people to eat a mouthful of hot food. ”

"If you follow Master Qian's words, if you don't die or live, it's better not to live, wouldn't you all have to die."

Qian Xuan was choked.

In just a few opening sentences, He Qi gained a lot of knowledge.

Reasoning with you, talking, if you are not careful, you will be scolded, the key is that you can't refute it, tsk!

Professor Gu went down to the city first, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and continued: "If you want to talk about the knowledge of the ancestors, I think you can't avoid the word 'mean', Master Qian, what is 'mean'?" ”

Qian Xuan replied: "The movement of the opposite Tao is the use of the weak Dao." He also said: "Knowledge and action are one, and the mean!" ”

The previous sentence is taken from the Tao Te Ching, "anti" is the "cognition" of "Tao", "weak" is the "application" of "Tao", "Tao" is the law of movement in nature, which is embodied in the fact that things must be "anti".

Therefore, in order to achieve a state of neutrality and peace, it is necessary to artificially "weaken" and correct the extreme state, and in order to achieve the state of "moderation", it is necessary to use the "golden mean" to correct the unbalanced state when going to the extreme.

Therefore, "the golden mean" is a methodology, representing "knowledge", and "the golden mean" is a corrective behavior, representing "action", so "cognition" and "action", the two sides of one, the state of harmony and unity, is the unity of knowledge and action, and it is also the core idea of "mind".

He Qi's eyes darkened when he heard this, and he stared dryly.

Professor Gu understood, and said: "What Qian Ye said is good, it is not necessary to use 'Xinxue' to explain, but it is too cumbersome, so the old man will talk about his understanding." ”

"Four books and five classics, the beginning is the mean, why is it?"

"Because there is no better than moderation!"

"It is the foundation of being a person and doing things."

"The spirit of Confucianism is to join the WTO, to have ideals, to have ambitions, and to go into the WTO unremittingly."

"But the Confucian classics are incorporating the spirit of Taoism, why is that?"

"It's because it's hard to do things."

"When the old man was young, he worked under Zhang Xiangshuai and had a deep understanding of this. Just doing things aggressively, hitting the south wall and not looking back, it doesn't help if you die, so you have to have the spirit of Taoism. ”

"To do things in the spirit of birth, to be ambitious, but not to stick to the small things, miscellaneous things, and chaotic things in front of you, in order to do great things with an open mind, the old man thinks, this is the mean."

"Bang Bang!"

The scene remembered the applause, He Qi understood it this time, and quite agreed with it, the heart of Jiang is still old and spicy, and it was explained clearly in just a few sentences.

Professor Gu took another sip of tea, and then said: "The old man just talked about the golden mean, and among you, some people may disdain it, because throughout the ages, there are many explanations of the golden mean, so the old man will talk about the golden mean." ”

At that time, Li Zhongtang learned that someone in the Beiyang Naval Division was using warships to smuggle, so he personally went to inspect and found that the shells in the ammunition depot were turned into stones, so he found Huang Ruilan's crime of corruption. So Li Zhongtang killed Huang Ruilan, pardoned Fang Boqian, stimulated Liu Buchan, and rewarded Deng Shichang. It not only condensed the morale of the army, but also rejuvenated the loyalty and courage of the generals, and also gave warning to the sergeants.

Sheng Xuanhuai asked Li Zhongtang why he didn't say a word about the smuggling case this time?

"Li Zhongtang Dao Dongyi is watching, and the Beiyang Naval Division can't be messed up."

Ran Sheng Xuanhuai was a little incomprehensible, it was obviously a ready-made great opportunity to "kill people", since his henchmen and old subordinates could kill them when they said they would, why couldn't they use the idea of "warship smuggling" to "catch a group and kill a group", so as to have the actual effect of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger? ”

Li Zhongtang said: If you want to kill someone, it's simple, Beiyang is in hand, the military power is in your hands, whoever you want to kill will be killed. As the so-called armed with sharp weapons and murderous intentions, those who are officials must quit. ”

It is true that "killing people and establishing authority" is extremely effective in the army, and it has been tried and tested repeatedly for thousands of years, but why did Li Zhongtang say to Sheng Huai at this time, "Those who are officials must not quit"? ”

Li Zhongtang explained: If you have the right to kill, you will be thirsty for killing; With the power of administration, it is a blessing; If you have the right to spend, you will accumulate wealth for yourself; There is even a little power, for example, the errand of the county government, the tax collector, and the retinue of officials, if the power is used to the extreme, then the country will not be a country! ”

"A person in power has power, the first important thing is not to use power, nor to abuse power, but to curb his own power.

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”

There was a burst of applause in the courtyard, and I have to admit that Professor Gu said wonderfully, He Qi thought it was true, but he couldn't understand what Professor Gu's purpose was in talking about the golden mean?
