Chapter 266: Grace Tries to Repay the True and Good People
After discussing with Zhao Yu, the helmsman of Yuan raised his hands and high-fived him a few times, and only after attracting everyone's attention did Shi Shiran say: "Friends from the rivers and lakes, we are gathered together today, which is a rare fate. Rest assured, I have an important matter to discuss with you. ”
Hearing the words of Chief Helmsman Yuan, everyone put down the cups and chopsticks in their hands, put away the smile on their faces, and put on a solemn look. As Zhao Yu said, at this time, everyone had a lot of admiration for the Haisha Gang who was not afraid of Yang Wan's Miao army and blatantly stirred up the chaos in Yangzhou, and they also looked down on this Yuan chief helmsman who was originally not famous in the rivers and lakes. Therefore, they did not dare to be contemptuous of the Yuan Chief Helmsman.
Seeing this scene, Chief Helmsman Yuan was extremely satisfied, turned his head to Zhao Yu and bowed slightly, thanking him for reminding him in time. When the hall became quiet, he spoke: "With the help of all the friends in the rivers and lakes this time, my Haisha Gang thwarted the arrogance of the invincible Yang Wanzhi Miao Army in one fell swoop, and then created a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for King Cheng to conquer Yangzhou. A glass of wine is not enough to thank all friends for their help. ”
When everyone heard such a humble and kind tone of the chief helmsman of Yuan, they all felt that they were very useful, but they didn't dare to take credit for it, so they got up and said: "The chief helmsman of Yuan is polite, and it is the duty of my generation of chivalrous people to eliminate violence and peace." Besides, I have heard of the name of King Cheng's benevolence and righteousness, and this time I can have the opportunity to participate in the grand event with all the righteous men of the Haisha Gang, which is exactly what I want, and I really can't afford to thank the chief helmsman solemnly. ”
After being reminded by Zhao Yu, the helmsman of Yuan also put away the posture of no one in his eyes. The attitude became humble and gentle, raised the wine glass and drank it with everyone, and said with a smile: "This is a good saying, if there is anything worthy of admiration on the rivers and lakes, it is not the invincible martial arts, not the majesty of all calls, but the word 'chivalrous'! King Cheng raised righteous soldiers, set things right, and saved the people of the world from fire and water. There should be rewards for merit, and punishments for demerits. Sweep Unai. Purge. Since you have made great contributions to King Cheng, it is natural that you should be rewarded. Come to someone, and compile the names and origins of all the friends in the rivers and lakes here into a book, and wait for me to present it to King Cheng. There will be a reward!"
The chief helmsman of Yuan commanded down. The sea sand that stood by his own side helped the people find pen, ink, paper and inkstone. So he wandered around the feast to record the names of the people.
Everyone only thought that the helmsman of Yuan was polite, but he did what he said. After being slightly stunned, his heart quickly thought about it. It is true that the scenery of Zhang Shicheng and the Haisha Gang is obvious to everyone here, but in the final analysis, Zhang Shicheng is just a thief with an unjustified name, not to mention that after being recruited by the Tartar court, now he is reexposed, which always gives people a sense of capriciousness.
Putting these aside, if you change the time and place, if you can maintain a good personal friendship with a beautiful person like Zhang Shicheng, and leave an incense love, everyone will be very happy. However, now is not the right time, although the Four Seas Inn is safe for a while, there are still tens of thousands of Yang Wan's army outside the city, and everyone is not as optimistic as the helmsman of Yuan, thinking that Zhang Shicheng's army will win as soon as it arrives. At this time, he left his name and place of origin, and if it fell into the hands of the Tartar court, he was afraid that he would cause trouble and affect his relatives and friends.
With such doubts, everyone's expressions became subtle, and they looked left and right, but they refused to put pen to paper.
Zhao Yu took in the changes in everyone's expressions, and after a little thought, he was deeply aware of their hesitant thoughts. He had the intention to promote this matter, so he naturally did not allow him to be cold, so he simply stood up and left the table, waved his hand and said: "You don't want to reciprocate your kindness, it is true that you are chivalrous, and you really admire it." But if you look at it from another angle, you have done a big mistake by refusing to put your name on the paper today!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed, and even the face of the chief helmsman of Yuan showed a look of surprise. He knew that Zhao Yu was resourceful and always had his own unique perspective on problems, but he was still very curious about Zhao Yu's direct rebuke of everyone's mistakes, and said: "Brother Bai, what you said made even me curious. Although I have the heart to repay all my friends in the rivers and lakes, if they really make up their minds and refuse to accept it, it is a righteous act of high wind and brightness, and they should only be sincerely admired, how did it become a big mistake?"
Not only the chief helmsman of Yuan, but also those people in the rivers and lakes who were scolded by Zhao Yu with their faces pointed at their faces were also indignant, and they all sneered: "I want to listen to what this young man thinks? If it's just nonsense, I won't agree!"
Zhao Yu smiled and said loudly: "I have an allusion to tell you, which is about the Warring States Period, when the princes were at war, and there were many displaced people in various countries. Among them, there is a good law in the state of Lu, if its people meet their own slaves in the country of princes, if they are willing to redeem them, they can go to the treasury to reimburse the ransom. Confucius had a student named Duanmu Ci, who was wealthy and had a wealth of money, but after redeeming a compatriot abroad, he refused the ransom paid by the state. Do you think this Duanmu Ci's move is right?"
Everyone here is reckless, great and coarse, but the allusion told by Zhao Yu is unheard of, but they also know the name of Confucius, and after Zhao Yu has spoken, they have spoken: "This Duanmu Ci is naturally a great good deed, and he does good things without asking for anything in return, and he is worthy of being a master disciple of Confucius!"
Zhao Yu listened to everyone's words of praise in unison, and chuckled: "In my opinion, this Duanmu Ci has naturally done an excellent job. However, after he returned to China, Confucius and his old man severely reprimanded this disciple, do you know why?"
When everyone heard this, they were all extremely curious, and then some people shouted: "How can there be a reason to be reprimanded for doing good deeds! How could a saint of Confucius's generation be so indistinguishable from right and wrong." I think most of this is something you made up yourself!"
Regarding everyone's suspicions, Zhao Yu did not answer, but continued: "Confucius reprimanded Duanmu Cidao, you have a daughter in your own family, so naturally you don't care about these small ransoms. However, most people in the country of Lu are not as rich as you, and the country formulated this good law in the hope that all the people of the country can do a good deed without any expense and help their compatriots in a foreign land. But if you refuse to be compensated by the state today, people will praise you for your righteous deeds and will demand that others learn from you. In this way, although the state has saved some expenses, many people whose families are not wealthy will no longer pay for their compatriots because they are afraid of the loss of money. So, even though you have done good deeds, many of your fellow citizens will lose the opportunity to be saved because of you. So, you're doing something wrong!"
After hearing this, everyone frowned, carefully pondering the allusion that Zhao Yu said. Zhao Yu's words are easy to understand, and they can also understand them, and the more they think about it, the more they feel that Confucius's words make sense.
While everyone was pondering, Zhao Yu continued: "Friends from the rivers and lakes have done good deeds this time, and they deserve to be rewarded. If you refuse, others will only think that there is no benefit in doing a good deed, and they will even make up for it, so that even if they have the opportunity to do a good deed, they will stop and think about whether it is worth doing. In the long run, the chivalry of martial arts will be gone, and you will be guilty of great crimes! Moreover, it will be tired of the name of King Cheng and his great cause!"
As soon as Zhao Yu's words fell, Chief Helmsman Yuan got up, clapped his hands violently, and said loudly: "Brother Bai is really good! When I heard your words today, I suddenly realized that those great chivalrous warriors in the martial arts who don't want to repay their kindness turned out to be real villains in their hearts!"
Zhao Yu bowed his hand to the helmsman of Yuan, took the pen and paper in the hands of the Haisha Gang, and said: "I will throw bricks and lead jade, write down my origin, and wait for King Cheng to reward!"
With that, he wrote down his own invented name.
Chief Helmsman Yuan nodded to Zhao Yu, and then looked at the people in the rivers and lakes who were groaning, and said coldly with an unkind expression: "You have helped me, I naturally have to reciprocate, this is a good thing for both sides, but if you refuse to accept it, then you will look down on me, look down on the Haisha Gang, and look down on King Cheng! Since you don't want to be friends, it's not good to sit at the same table!"
Hearing the tough words of the chief helmsman of Yuan, Rao is everyone still hesitated in their hearts, but they didn't dare to take it anymore, so they had to write their names obediently. What I can say about masturbation is that even if these people are really suffering because of this, at least there is a Bai Shaoxia of the Huashan faction at the front! )
PS: When I wrote this chapter, I really felt something in my heart. I still don't understand why Zhang Wuji can be named a good person, and I just feel that this person is really confused. In fact, our ancestors have made many truths very clear. But in this day and age, it is Smecta from the stars that can attract attention, but the real treasure is ignored...
In an era, the higher the moral yardstick, the lower the actual moral level... After watching the performance of the benevolent man on TV, and then entangled in supporting or not supporting, will it feel ridiculous? So, since the update has been restored, it is a very reasonable situation to ask for all kinds of votes, for my sake, I ask you to give a few recommendation votes... In addition, the brothers who have updated the post bar, you have worked hard!!
