Chapter 257: Talking about the world
On the way to Zheng, Zhang Ji accidentally encountered Zeng Ji, who had been waiting for a long time. What's even more surprising is that Zeng Ji is waiting for Zhang Ji here, and even knows that Zhang Ji is going to Zheng today to inquire about Chen Xiao's residence and visit with a camera. Zeng Ji said that Chen Gongwen heard that Mr. Zhang, a subordinate of Lingjun, was visiting, and specially ordered me to greet him halfway; However, Chen Gong can't reveal his residence, so there are all kinds of hidden actions, please don't blame! Zhang Yu tried to restrain his surprise and try his best to salvage the situation, and finally found that the content of his conversation with the Chinese person yesterday was not fully grasped, which gave him a little confidence: the other party was not completely in control of the situation, and he still had a chance.
Just when the two were arguing about the historical grievances between Qin and Wei, and debating who was more gracious, the pavilion chief came over with the master and servant of the wine shop with a food box, and spread it out in front of the banquet, with a pot of wine, two wine cups, a duck, and sauce, ginger and cinnamon, vegetables, and fruits. Then the pavilion chief whispered: "In the afternoon, there is Shenmen." Zeng Ji nodded knowingly.
When a few people walked away, the two of them each held a pot and poured wine, and drank two rounds. Zeng Ji tore off a duck leg, dipped it in sauce, sprinkled it with ginger gui, handed it to Zhang Yu, and said: "This duck is from Chushen, not Zheng, and it is very fat and tender." Brother, enjoy it. ”
Zhang Yu said: "Brother has a heart, rectify this wine, it can't be done today." ”
Zeng Ji said: "I was ordered to welcome my brother yesterday, and I was overjoyed. Preparing in many ways is the place to be. This duck is unbearable to cook, and it should be steamed with steam. Therefore, the restaurant was renovated in the middle of the night, and the brother got its taste! Neither too much nor too much is not its taste. ”
Zhang Yu said: "Brother and brother met in Caomang, when the brother was short brown, he had to be hired by a farmer, and he was not well fed and clothed, and he lived on chaff. Who knows the food is unique. This person is not to be disguised. ”
Zeng Ji said: "Although my brother started from the grass, he didn't beg for food. Swimming in all directions, there is a chivalrous name. Rather than one or two nobles go on a blind date. Although there is no place to live, the food in all directions must also be corresponding. ”
Zhang Yu said: "Hearing my brother's words, I want to see my brother's behavior, which is enviable!" ”
Zeng Ji said: "Brother is also deeply envious of my brother's ability to serve Lingjun!" ”
Zhang Yu said: "Chen Gong's name is all over the world, a word to prosper the country, and a word to lose the country." The princes all regarded him as a teacher. Is brotherhood still insufficient? ”
Zeng Ji said: "It's not insufficient. The Chen family is from the Qi family, and all the princes have their way. Full of ambition, thinking that taking fame is like picking up grass mustard. However, the world has changed over time, and all the kings are mediocre people, and the people who have no responsibilities are not responsible. The government is enlightened by the same door, and the power is in the same party. It's hard to do anything different. How can it be like a brother's matter to believe in Lingjun, the younger brother of the King of Wei, the power of a country, benevolence and righteousness are exposed to the world, and the heroes are all returned. Why is it not famous? ”
Zhang Yu said: "Brother doesn't know. Wang Xinli, his ambition is weak, and he is in turmoil, but it is actually difficult to assist. ”
Zeng Ji said: "If it is difficult to assist, why not abolish self-reliance?" ”
Zhang Yu was stunned for a moment and said: "Since the founding of Wei, I have not heard of anyone who abolished the monarch. Monarchs and ministers, righteousness, how can they be reversed! Although the crown is disadvantageous, the gift is the first; Although the performance is new, the law is practiced on the ground. But Qin Chu is barbarian, and there is this beast! ”
Zeng Ji said: "My brother traveled around the world, visited all the kings, and there was no one to see. King Yan chased Le Yi, so that Qi took the land of the two cities and restored his country. The king of Qi was destroyed by the country, and the affairs of the state were decided by the woman. When the king of Chu was newly defeated, he was panicked and couldn't help himself. Qin has a prestige, but he is not inferior to his maternal uncle. The country of the Three Jin Dynasty is only close to relatives, not close to foreign ministers. How can this be? ”
Zhang Yu said: "This is not something that my brother can know. According to my brother's opinion, what is the famous king in the world? ”
Zeng Ji said: "If the monarch is wise, he has a majestic and majestic strategy and retreats, and does not hide the virtue of his courtiers; Observe the ability of the ministers and let them do their own thing, and do not lose the great sage with small mistakes; The land is vast and the people are all grateful for the grace of the king; The four directions come to gather, as under the water. ”
Zhang Yu said: "Throughout the ages, there must be a likeness? ”
Zeng Ji said: "King Wen, then it is also the same." ”
Zhang Yu said: "Zhuang, his words are also!" How great is the ambition of a brother! The king of things is like the king of Wen. Secondly, what is the reason for it? Although our lord cannot do it, I am willing to do it. ”
Zeng Ji also said: "If you want to follow Duke Zhou, Xinling Jun's ambition is not small." He holds the right to abolish the throne and does the truth of the king. and Zhao Gong and Qi Gong divided the world, and finally let it become the king. Now that the king is here, where is the second prince of Zhao and Qi? ”
Zhang Yu said: "What do you mean? Zhou Gong Auxiliary Government, is he calling, Qi Ergong? ”
Zeng Ji said: "Don't you hear about a fence and three piles." Although the king is virtuous, he does not stand without assistance. The Duke of Zhou is outside the lord of Chengzhou, the Duke of Zhou is summoned to the master of Zhou, and the Duke of Qi is in charge of the expedition in the remote distance, which is the rule of Chengkang. If there is one less, you can't do it. What's more, if there is no two centimeters of potential, Zhou Gong'an can be full of his name, and there will be good deeds who will be promoted to the supreme, isn't it a usurper? ”
Zeng Ji's words surprised Zhang Ji very much. He couldn't imagine what Zeng Ji had experienced to have such a rebellious idea. Zhou Gong is a saint, and the way of a saint comes out of his sacred heart, what does it have to do with outsiders? If there is no Zhao and Qi Ergong, will Zhou Gong be opposed? Will he?
Zeng Ji looked at Zhang Yu's red face with great satisfaction, his face was full of mockery, and said: "Xinling Jun wants to serve the Duke of Zhou, who is the second Duke of Qi?" Gou Wuzhao, Qi Ergong, Zhou Gong is Zhou Gong? ”
Zhang Yu was a little embarrassed, and asked unwillingly: "Zhou Gongzhi is the Duke of Zhou, and he is the Sacred Heart." Summon, Qi Ergong, also this sacred heart, to help the Son of Heaven. How can it be said that there is no two princes, then there is no Zhou Gong? ”
Zeng Ji said: "King Cheng has been just, and Zhou is fair, there is no one between the two princes, and there is no doubt about becoming a king?" Is there no doubt about the ministers? Zhou De has no two hearts? King Cheng has had and the Duke of Zhou has been right, and he is summoning the Duke and the Duke of Qi in the meantime, so that the King of Cheng is undoubted, the ministers are undoubted, and the monarch and the ministers are harmonious. Brother tried to think about it, the king of Wei had a good faith and the king of Ling, and Wang Ning had no other? Would you rather have no other? Minning without him? Who is in the process of maneuvering for the king of Xinling, so that the upper and lower levels are harmonious, and there is no doubt about the monarch and the ministers? It is Xinlingjun who wants to be the Duke of Zhou but can't get it. ”
Zhang Yu suddenly laughed and said, "Brother Yan is the prince of the world, and there is no one to see." Replying to the letter that Lingjun is difficult to be the Duke of Zhou, does he want him to be the king of Wen? ”
Zeng Ji said: "What you think inwardly is, I am afraid it will be difficult to get your wish." ”
Zhang Yu said: "The monarch has three thousand monks, and King Wen has his monks!" The husband of heaven takes the world as his heart. Talented people are all their ministers, and they are promoted based on the merits and use their talents, how can they be counted with only three thousand? ”
Zeng Ji said: "Although, I haven't seen that the king has 3,000 people. Xi Meng tasted the monarch and raised the soldiers, and the king of Qi was worried. Xinling Jun Yangshi, King Wei would rather be worried? Although you want to be the Duke of Zhou, how can you get it? ”
Zhang Yu said: "Brother Zeng is out of Chen Gong's door, and there is no obstacle to his arguments, and he will return one hundred." However, those I know, Xinling Jun, Wei Gongzi also, Wei is in the Gongzi, and Wei is dead, and Wei is dead. But with the rise and fall of Wei Zhi as his intention, he has nothing else to worry about. The ministers all understand their intentions and wish to do things. ”
Zeng Ji said: "Since my brother has this intention, my brother is willing to do it." The trend of the world, peace is the survival of both, and fighting is the death of both. Qin is close to Han, and with Wei Dou, Qin Han is stored and Wei is injured. If Xinling Jun wants to save Wei Xingwei, would he rather be solid with Qin? ”
Zhang Yu's heart suddenly moved, but he didn't expect that Zeng Ji and Chen Xiao had brought him in to discuss the matter of peace between Qin and Wei! He cautiously asked, "Wei and Qin He, what should they be?" ”
Zeng Ji said: "Since the Shang Jun changed the law, the number of disciples has increased day by day, but to atone for his sins with meritorious service, it is because of the years of conquest, year after year, in order to seek military merits, do not dare to rest." Now he has entered Wei, if he has a small border town and has to return to the country with meritorious service, he will be very lucky! ”
Zhang Yu is completely blinded, what kind of condition is this? Before it is defeated, it is necessary to cede the "border town" so that the Qin army that went out to make contributions to the cause? Zhang Yu was a little annoyed and said, "Brother Zeng's words, wouldn't you rather be ridiculous?" Is there anyone who is undefeated and cuts the land? ”
Zeng Ji said: "There is no obstacle to defeat one or two formations." ”
Zhang Yu broke off and shouted: "Brother Zeng, my brother regards his brother as a chivalrous gentleman, so he also intersects." But why is my brother repeatedly humiliated by my brother? The ancestors of Wei Tucheng are not good in later generations, and they cannot be protected, but they are cut off, which is humiliation. What do you say! ”
Zeng Ji still had a mocking smile on his face, and said, "Brother, don't be annoyed, drink this lamp, and listen to your brother!" He filled the pot with a glass of wine, mixed a duck leg and handed it over. Zhang Yi intended to ask Zeng Ji to say more about their plans, so he took the duck leg, took a bite, and said, "I want to hear my brother's teaching!" ”
Zeng Ji said: "The old soldier is also the murder weapon; Contestants, anti-virtue also; Generals, dead officials, too. Use it as a last resort. Qin fought every year, and it was a last resort. Who? Qin's law is strict, and the punishment is too small and too big, and this brother knows it. The king of Qin was benevolent and could not bear to kill him, so he was punished as a wanderer and a city dan. If this is the case, the number of prisoners is two or three hundred thousand years old, and there are few people who have power in the field, and the king is very worried. It is the fate of the generals, attacking and fighting every year, although it is said to be land, in fact, it is seeking merit. But if you cut one level, you will get one manpower field; But if you get a city, you will get ten thousand people. Therefore, Qin has many wars, and it is really a last resort. ”
Zhang Yu said: "Shang Jun, Wei Xiangshu's son, Yu Wei is not willing, turning to confuse the King of Qin, and getting the ambition of the villain." Severe punishment and harsh law, and the people are stripped of themselves; Everyone hears it, and everyone gnashes their teeth! Since the king of Qin cherishes benevolence and righteousness, he repents of his harsh punishment, why not abolish the law and practice benevolence and righteousness, and be the first good man in the world? ”
Zeng Ji said: "Brother doesn't know. Shang Jun has changed the law for more than 80 years, although it is strict, the Qin people have been for a long time. Grain is abundant in the warehouse, and the people are in the wilderness, which is its virtue. Therefore, although there is a small inconvenience, it is inconvenient to waste. ”
Zhang Yu said: "Zi said: When I heard the Tao, I can die at night." Death is still unavoidable, and it is inconvenient. Where benevolence is, the world returns. Severe punishment and strict law, the world gnashes teeth. Where to go, brother! ”
Zeng Ji said: "At the beginning of the Shang Dynasty, the emperor said it, and then he said it with the royal road, but the king did not obey it. It is said in a domineering manner, and the king is tired of talking for several days. The younger brother did not dare to repeat the old business king. In addition, the younger brother is a mediocre person, who feeds on others, runs and drives, and does not live all day. Shall the kingdom be the prince of the kingdom? ”
Zhang Yu said: "Brother's talent, his mouth is like a hanging river, his tongue is like a sharp sword, and he talks about the world, if he is between his fingers." When the time comes, when the six countries are sealed! ”
Zeng Ji said: "I have to accept my brother's words, how can my brother be!" ”
Zhang Yu said: "Brother leads brother here, forgive me for treating each other with wine." May it be heard. ”
Zeng Ji said: "Chen Gong has an order, and this afternoon, I will meet you at Youshenmen." What is it to do with your brother? ”
Zhang Yu said: "The host is safe, the guest is safe, and it is inconvenient." ”
Zeng Ji said: "As much as this wine and food, go now!" ”
