Confucian self-cultivation: Scholars start from Daqin

There is no so-called "ethics" in this era. Although it is not common for women to be officials, it is not a big deal.

Goujian, king of Yue at the beginning, specially hired a commoner woman to teach the Yue army swordsmanship, and bestowed the "Yue girl" on it. Only then did the three thousand Yue armor break through Wu.

Xiang Yan, who had been silent all this time, snorted coldly at the side: "Prince Yan, don't forget the purpose of this trip!"

After being reminded, Prince Dan suddenly realized that the topic had been changed by Gao Jing.

After glaring at Gao Jing, Prince Dan simply ignored him, and said to King Wei: "Your Majesty, the Qin State is very ambitious. If Zhao dies, Qin State will definitely perish Wei State, Yan State, Qi State, and Chu State in the next 17 years." will be in danger first.

Right now, we should join forces to save Zhao and resist Qin! "

Xiang Yan also said: "Your Majesty, what Prince Dan said is exactly!"

Wei Wangzeng looked at the two of them, then subconsciously looked at Gao Jing.

As a result, Gao Jing was putting his head together with Yan Lingji, chatting and laughing in a low voice.

In desperation, Wei Wangzeng said, "What do Mr. Gao Jing think?"

Gao Jing smiled and said: "My lord, in the battle between Qin, Jin and Hanyuan, the Jin army was defeated, and Jin Huigong was captured by Qin soldiers.

Dr. Jin's hair was disheveled and drooping, and he pulled out his tent to accompany him. Qin Mugong persuaded him, "Why do you worry about it?"I just invite you to visit Qin as a guest.

The doctor of Jin then paid homage to Jishou three times and said: "The emperor wears the emperor's sky when he is in the queen's land. The emperor's queen land really hears the king's words, and the officials dare to be at a disadvantage."

So why is Prince Dan and General Xiang Yan talking freely, but not the underdog? "

In this allusion, Qin Mugong comforts the captured doctor Jin, saying that he will not do anything to him.

Then Dr. Jin said: Not only the emperor and the empress heard your words, but also all the ministers standing in the downwind place. I hope you will not break your promise.

It's just that it gradually evolved into a self-deprecating term of "willing to bow down".

King Wei asked strangely, "What does Mr. Gao Jing mean by this?"

Gao Jing pretended to be surprised and said, "Don't you know, King Xi of Yan, Minister of Yan Zhang Tang, King Chu of Chu, Ling Yi of Chu and Li Yuan, these four people are all willing to be friends with Qin?"

King Wei was dumbfounded.

After going on for a long time, Prince Dan of Yan and General Xiang Yan of Chu talked about joining forces, but the king of his own country, Xiangguo, didn't mean it!

Is this making fun of Wei Guo?

King Wei's expression darkened immediately, staring at the two of them, he said, "Is what Mr. Gao Jing said true?"

Prince Dan hurriedly said: "As long as King Wei agrees to the matter of joining forces, Dan will surely be able to convince Father King!"

The king of Wei was bored and did not speak.

Gao Jing said quietly: "Your Majesty, it is better to agree, don't you know: Robbers hate their masters, people hate them, and if they are frank, they will be difficult."

Wei Wang's already unwell face became even uglier.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Jin Bogong was jealous of other villains because of his integrity.

His wife advised him that thieves hate their master's protection, so that he will not steal willfully, and villains always hate righteous gentlemen, so that he will not do evil at will.

Jin Bogong refused to listen, and continued to be upright until the end. Sure enough, he was framed to death because he offended too many villains.

What Gao Jing said was that if the King of Wei did not agree to the alliance, Prince Dan would be jealous.

It's no wonder King Wei has a good face!

"Gao Jing!"

Prince Dan couldn't bear it anymore, and angrily scolded: "The Qin people are violent, do you have to help the tyrant?"

Gao Jing asked back: "Qin and Zhao are originally a family, so why does Prince Dan have to meddle in other people's family affairs?"

Prince Dan said angrily: "This is a matter between Qin and Zhao. Why is it a family matter?"

Gao Jing laughed and said, "Both Qin and Zhao have the Ying surname Zhao, and they share the same ancestor. What is it if it's not a family affair?"

Prince Dan waved his sleeves and said: "Things without evidence are not enough to be believed!"

Gao Jing shook his head with a smile, and said: "But the prince can't refute it, so why bother to intervene?"

The prince is suffocated in Dan language!

Ju Wu showed helplessness on the side, it was obvious that Prince Dan was distracted by Gao Jing again.

At the beginning, Prince Dan proposed to join forces, but Gao Jing dragged it into the "debate".

It was hard to bring the topic back, and now it is brought to the study of the ancestors of Qin and Zhao.

As a last resort, Ju Wu stood up and said, "Mr. Gao Jing, no matter what, Qin's invasion of Zhao is not a battle of benevolence and righteousness. Yan, Chu, Wei, and Qi uphold benevolence and justice, so it is necessary to prevent Qin from invading Zhao."

Gao Jing took a deep look at Ju Wu, and said: "When Qi State invaded Yan State, Mencius advised King Qi that if the people of Yan State welcome Qi State's army, then Qi State should annex Yan State.

If the people of Yan State resist, the army of Qi State will withdraw.

Now that Qin State is attacking Zhao, it is the same principle. Whether it is benevolent or unrighteous, it doesn’t matter what I say, what you say, sir, it doesn’t matter if the prince and the general say 620, it depends on Zhao’s own attitude... What do you think, sir? ? "

Ju Wudao: "After the Battle of Changping, can't you explain how the people of Zhao hated the people of Qin?"

Gao Jingdao: "Now the Qin army has conquered more than a dozen cities and towns in the Zhao Kingdom, and they have not committed any crimes against the people, and there is no rebellion in the land acquisition, which can also explain it!"

Ju Wudao: "That's because the Zhao State has reduced its troops! If it wasn't for this, the Zhao people would have rebelled long ago!"

"Hahaha!"

Gao Jing laughed and said: "Let me tell you a story... I heard that there is only one person in the world who is good at raising macaques, but because he has too many macaques and his family is short of money, so the monkey keeper said to the group of monkeys: "Morning! Three acorns for you, four for the evening.

All the macaques were furious, so the monkey breeder said, "I'll give you four acorns in the morning and three in the evening."

Only then did the group of macaques rejoice.

The king of Zhao was in a daze, and the labor and tax imposed by him were heavy, coupled with the exploitation of his subordinates, so that the people of Zhao had a hard life and struggled to survive.

Now King Zhao abandoned the people and called back the officials who exploited the people. The people of Zhao finally had a glimmer of life under the rule of Qin and did not want to betray Qin...

Why did you come to Mr. Qin, but the people of Qin are not benevolent, and Zhao Wang is benevolent?

There is such a truth in the world! "

"..." Ju Wu was speechless.

Chapter 180 Three Sword Competitions?

Both Prince Dan and Ju Wu had nothing to say.

The hall fell silent for a while.

"boom!"

Xiang Yan suddenly jumped up, stared at Gao Jing and said, "Gao Jing, don't talk too much! Do you dare to compete with Xiang?"

Gao Jing smiled strangely: "Why did General Xiang say that? Well, why did Gao Jing want to compete with you?"

Xiang Yan said casually: "You humiliated me, and I propose to compete with you, why not?"

Gao Jing wondered: "Since Gao Jing stepped into this hall, he treated each other with courtesy. When did he humiliate the general?"

Xiang Yan was suffocated, paused for a moment, and said: "This is the banquet where the king of Wei invited our envoys, but you brought a woman into the palace, isn't it humiliating the king of Wei?

The king of Wei treated Xiang Yan so well, and the scholar died for his confidant. If I turn a blind eye, do I still deserve to be called a human?

Gao Jing, dare to fight! "

I go!Can this also be rounded?

Gao Jing suddenly felt dumbfounded.

"A scholar is a confidant", this allusion is about "Yurang".

Yu Rang was a disciple of Zhi Boyao, the patriarch of the Zhi family, during the "Six Qing Rebellion" period in Jin.

The patriarch of the Zhao family, "Zhao Xiangzi", joined forces with the Wei and Han families to counterattack the territory of the Zhi family, killed Zhi Boyao, and made the latter's head into a wine vessel.

Zhi Boyao's disciple, Yu, smeared his whole body with wooden varnish, intentionally made his skin fester, and swallowed charcoal to make his voice hoarse, and changed his appearance in order to assassinate Zhao Xiangzi, the patriarch of the Zhao family, and avenge Zhi Boyao.

During the first assassination, Yu Rang hid in the latrine and made a sudden attack when Zhao Xiangzi came out, but unfortunately he was caught by Zhao Xiangzi's guards.

After being captured, Zhao Xiangzi asked Yu Rang for the reason, and learned that Yu Rang "swallowed charcoal and painted his body" to avenge Zhi Boyao by assassinating him. He was quite moved, and said to the left and right: Zhi Boyao is dead, and There is no future, but this person still wants to avenge his master. The sages in this world are also unrighteous, and I should avoid him.

So, he asked the guards to let Yurang go, and then carefully avoided Yurang.

Sure enough, after Yurang was released, he still did not give up his belief in revenge, even if his friends advised him to give up this hatred: You have also served Fan and Zhonghang, why are you so loyal to Zhibo?

At this time, Yu Rang uttered the famous saying that has been passed down through the ages: The Fan family and the Zhongxing family treated me with the common people (ordinary people), so I repay them with the people; but Zhibo treated me with the scholars of the state, so I repay them with the scholars of the state. !

The friend advised him again: "With your talent, if you serve Zhao Xiangzi with all your loyalty, then he will definitely value you and trust you. Why don't you kill him to avenge the old master after you gain his trust?"

Yu Rang said with a smile: "To kill the new monarch for the sake of the old monarch is an extremely corrupt approach to the righteousness of the monarch and ministers."I want to kill Zhao Xiangzi to avenge Zhi Bo, just to clarify the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers, not whether the revenge is smooth or not.If I commit myself to Zhao Xiangzi and become a servant of someone else, but secretly plotting to assassinate him, it is tantamount to having a double heart for the monarch.I know that it cannot be done today, and I do it today, just to shame the ministers who have two hearts in the world in future generations!

After hearing Yurang's words, Zhao Xiangzi respected Yurang's character even more, ordered the guards not to reveal his whereabouts, and avoided Yurang more carefully.

However, it took Yurang a long time and a lot of energy to find out the whereabouts of Zhao Xiangzi, and hid under a bridge on the way Zhao Xiangzi must pass.

Regrettably, Yurang's second assassination was still unsuccessful. It is said that Yurang's murderous aura alarmed Zhao Xiangzi's mount, and Zhao Xiangzi subconsciously thought of Yurang: it must be Yurang.

So Zhao Xiangzi ordered the guards to search under the bridge, and he found Yurang and captured him again.

Originally, Zhao Xiangzi didn't want to kill Yurang, but he was worried that Yurang would come to assassinate him again and again. Coupled with the persuasion from the side guards, he finally decided to kill Yurang.

However, before he ordered Yurang to be killed, Yurang made a plea, that is, he hoped that Zhao Xiangzi would take off his robe and let him destroy it with a sharp sword. Yurang said that even if he could not kill Zhao Xiangzi Xiangzi, but he can also explain to Bo Zhi.

Zhao Xiangzi felt sorry for Yurang's loyalty, so he took off his robe and ordered the guards to hand it over to Yurang.

Afterwards, after Yu Rang cut Zhao Xiangzi's robe to pieces with his sword, he shouted "I can finally repay Zhi Bo 々‖", and then drew his sword to kill himself.

So far, Yu Rang has become a model of righteous men in the world, leaving his name in history.

So far, "the king worries about his ministers, and the king humiliates his ministers to death", which has become the belief that righteous men in the world are righteous ministers.

……

Because of this, even knowing that Xiang Yan just found an excuse to compete with Gao Jing, King Wei's face looked a little better.

This is the definition and custom of "righteousness" in today's world.

King Wei invited Xiang Yan to a banquet, and Xiang Yan, who was grateful for King Wei's affection, competed with Gao Jing because of King Wei's humiliation.

Gao Jing didn't tactfully ask Wei Wang if he had been humiliated...

The king of Wei wished that Qin Chu and Qin Yan had fallen out, so that his Wei country could survive for a while longer.
