Xiao Er and Zhu Er had never read a book, and when they saw that Xu He and Zhou Bi were talking like a cloud, they quickly lost interest.

Xu He said with a smile: "You haven't gone home to rest for a long time, I have something for you here, Xiao Er, bring one for Uncle and Aunt and the girl, pig, you keep one for yourself, and bring one for Uncle Zheng!" ”

When Xiao Er heard this, he wanted to excuse himself, but Zhu'er smiled unceremoniously and said: "Although you are a bit pedantic about scholars, you are still a good person, okay, then I will go back and live for two days, and I will come back in two days!"

After sending the two away, Xu He did not rush to discuss the matter with Zhou Bi.

Instead, he asked him to wait and think carefully about what he had just said.

Zhou Bi's passage just now is from "The Fifteenth Year of Dinggong".

In that year, Zhou Tianzi divided the land of Qi to Jiang Ziya and established the state of Qi, and Lu land was divided to the Duke of Zhou and established the state of Lu.

Because the Duke of Zhou wanted to stay in Haojing to assist King Zhou Cheng, he let his son Bo Yu go to the country of Lu and became the first Lu Jun.

Later, the monarch of Lu divided a vassal state in the fiefdom, that is, the state of Yi.

This incident in "Zuo Biography" happened in the fifteenth year of Duke Lu Ding, and the monarch of the State of Lu, Duke Yin of the State of Lu, went to the State of Lu to pay tribute, and Zigong happened to be watching the ceremony.

According to the Zhou ceremony, Duke Yi Yin wanted to present "Puyu" to Duke Lu Ding to show his loyalty.

At this time, Duke Yi Yin raised the jade and held his head high, while Duke Lu Ding lowered his head and lowered his eyes with a humble attitude.

Seeing this kind of invitation, Zigong sighed: According to such a situation, these two monarchs are going to die.

What? Why do you all have to die?

Zigong analyzed: "Fuli, the body of death and death is also ......"

In ancient times, "worship and funeral" were four very solemn things, and each of them had detailed regulations.

It is not lawful for two kings to meet in the first lunar month.

The monarchs who should obey the law most do not obey the law, or they are coerced and helpless; Either in their own hearts, there is no lawlessness for a long time.

Neither of these two situations is a good sign.

Zhou Bi was actually using this matter to vaguely express the relationship between the two sons of the Shen family, Shen Xuan and Shen Yu.

Shen Xuan was originally the sister-in-law of the family, and when she spoke and did things, her younger brother had to respect her.

But because his mother died early and his father remarried his aunt, his sister-in-law became embarrassed.

Maybe in Shen Han's opinion, anyway, your Shen Xuan's mother and Shen Yu's mother are sisters, and I have also given you a lot of consideration for your sister-in-law and given you the dignity you deserve.

But in fact, because Shen Wang's family is favored, his two sons, the eldest son is an official in Beijing, and the younger son is doted on by Shen Han, and his sister-in-law is embarrassed at home.

A family is very particular about the dignity of the concubine, and today's son-in-law Shen Xuan is actually the Duke of Lu Ding back then, and Shen Yu can also be compared to Duke Yin.

Obviously, you are a younger brother, but you have repeatedly embarrassed your brother-in-law, and even in front of outsiders, you don't give your brother-in-law face.

What does this mean?

[The monarchs who should obey the law the most do not obey the law, or they are coerced and helpless; Either in their own hearts, they have long been lawless] This sentence is not the biggest concern of the Shen family at present?

Some people must think that Zigong or Zhou Bi's words are pedantic.

But Confucius said that if the name is not right, the word is not good; If you don't go your way, you won't get it.

Now many people misunderstand this sentence as Confucius, an old man, who is too pedantic and doesn't want to do things well, but cares about fame.

In fact, what Confucius said was-

No matter what you do, you have to pass the "hurdle" in your heart first, if you have a pimple in your heart, then it will not go well when you talk and do things.

This sentence is replaced by the expression in the "Huayan Sutra", that is-

There is no hindrance, there is no hindrance, there is no hindrance to the directors, there is no hindrance to everything.

Only when there is no obstacle to the "principle" in your heart, there will be no obstacle when you do things.

On the other hand, if you have encountered a lot of difficulties in your life, then you need to look back and open the knots in your heart.

Zhou Bi saw through this, so he hinted to Xu He that he could play some tricks from it, and he didn't need to make his own move, and the Shen family brothers would make trouble for themselves!

But what is Xu He hesitating about?

In fact, he didn't have a good impression of the Shen family, but he didn't have any bad feelings towards Shen Xuan himself.

That's where the contradiction lies.

When he told Zhou Bi what he thought in his heart, Zhou Bi shook his head and said, "Childe, if you think so, unless you don't go to the Shen family for trouble, this is the way to get trouble!" ”

Xu He's heart was awe-inspiring when he heard this, yes, he still thinks about the problem with the thinking of a later generation, and thinks that one thing, even if this family is immoral, but it is also someone else's business, what does it have to do with Shen Xuan?

But in the big family, there is both prosperity and loss, and if Shen Xuan is let go, there will be hidden dangers in the future.

"Besides......" Zhou Bi said, "Does the prince think that Shen Xuan doesn't know about the Japanese Kou?" ”

Xu He was silent.

"Obviously, as the feudal monarch of the Lu State, Duke Yi Yin raised his head and offered jade, which is pride; is obviously the master of the country, Lu Dinggong lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eyes, this is decadence! ”

"If I remember correctly, Duke Yi Yin was too proud and had a violent temper, and he was once driven off the throne by Wu Wangfu and defected to the Lu country; Later, he was reinstated under the support of Goujian, the king of Yue, but because of his arrogance and rudeness, he was deposed by the Yue State and finally died in the Yue Kingdom. ”

"And Lu Dinggong, he seemed humble, but in fact he was weak, and he died in May of the year he watched the ceremony."

It can be seen that Zigong's words seem to be a prediction, but in fact it is providence, all we can do is to push the boat with the current! Childe doesn't need to have any burden in his heart! ”

When Xu He heard this, he nodded: "Ryosuke, what do you think you should do?" ”

Zhou Bi said confidently: "Didn't that brother say just now, this third young master of the Shen family, Fengji likes to find someone to fight insects, we just need to find someone to give him a trick at this time, trick him into losing money, and then let the second young master of the Shen family know the news [unintentionally], just ...... anything else."

Speaking of this, he leaned into Xu He's ear and said something.

After Xu He listened, his heart was shocked, and he looked at Zhou Bi incredulously.

This man is inconspicuous and courteous to himself, but when he handles things, he is ruthless and has no mercy at all.

Zhou Bi saw Xu He looking at him with such eyes, and he said lightly: "Childe, it stands to reason that I have only followed you for a few days, and I shouldn't say anything about this kind of thing, but I Zhou Bi said that I followed Childe to do something about it!" ”

"He who does great things cannot be a woman's kindness! If Gongzi thinks that what I said is reasonable, then put away his compassion, if he thinks Zhou Bi's methods are ruthless, then please Gongzi let me go back to Huzhou! ”

When Xu He heard this, he sighed: "Ryosuke, I don't blame you, but I feel that what you said is actually much more thoughtful than me, but I can't get around that hurdle in my heart!" ”

Zhou Bi smiled slightly: "This shows that the son is a benevolent person, and Zhou Bi will only feel at ease if he follows such a son!" ”

But Xu He waved his hand and said: "Ryosuke, for this matter, the sage still has an evaluation [Giving misfortune is the one who gives many words]. ”

What do you mean?

In Confucius's view, it was wrong for Zigong to speak like this, and it was a bit of a curse.

But when Xu He quoted Confucius, he didn't mean that Zhou Bi cursed the Shen family.

Instead, he admonished: "If you talk too much, you will lose too much, and you will be late to speak." ”

The Book of Changes also says, "There are few words for auspicious people, and there are many words for dry people." ”

The deep meaning is that in this way, he Xu He can hear it, but if someone else comes, he will feel that you Zhou Bi is too ruthless and will alienate you.

Zhou Bi hurriedly stood up solemnly, and said to Xu He: "Be taught!" Childe, I'll get rid of my problems in the future! ”
