To Rule in a Turbulent World

You Miao said: "No, I will stay in Jiangcheng for one night, you can go back."

You Hange left, leaving You Miao and Li Zhifeng. Li Zhifeng asked, "Go back to the villa?"

"I haven't finished talking yet." You Miao said: "Tomorrow, I have to continue to visit the door to pretend to be my grandson. Let's go, let's go to the market and buy something."

Li Zhifeng led the horse, and the two of them strolled around the market, bought some gadgets, food, and bundled a cart together. That night, You Miao spent the night in Jiangcheng, and got up at dawn the next day, and went to Sun's mansion. Go and stand outside.

When the housekeeper saw You Miao when he opened the door, he was very surprised at first, and then smiled knowingly: "Wait inside, the master hasn't gotten up yet."

You Miao went into the side hall and poured herself a drink, while Li Zhifeng waited on her. You Miao drank tea by herself, took a copy of the Book of Songs and flipped it aside, and motioned for Li Zhifeng to drink with her.

Sun Yu didn't get up until early in the morning. Two maidservants were combing his beard. Hearing that You Miao was waiting outside at dawn, she nodded with satisfaction and ordered the housekeeper to serve breakfast for You Miao. Just sitting in the hall, You Miao just started talking about articles and asking questions today.

Sun Yu was born as a scholar in Liuzhou. He also served as a Beijing official for ten years, and was transferred back to Liuzhou to serve as an official for 15 years.Looking at You Miao's papers in this township examination, it was like meeting an old acquaintance, and liked his literary nature and heart, so I kissed him.

But with You Miao's accumulation, it is natural that he still needs to study for a few more years. The teacher and student talked for a full day, and You Miao benefited a lot.

The way of officialdom, the way of reading, the affairs of serving the country and the people, as a man, you have to think about it all the time.

You Miao was very worried about Zhao Chao's situation, and when he talked about the war in Koryo, he couldn't help but say a few more words, and asked Sun Yu about the border affairs, but just as the conversation started, both Sun Yu and You Miao were very surprised.

What surprised Sun Yu was that You Miao knew everything about the military situation on the border, but what surprised You Miao was that Sun Yu could still fight!The art of war, the layout, and Sun Yu analyzed them one by one.

"30 years ago, when my apocalypse was prosperous." In the end, Sun Yu couldn't help sighing: "A civil servant can mount a bow and arrow to kill the enemy, and he can write a book with a pen. Look, there are still a few young people who can do it today." Can you do it? Today's imperial court is mostly rotten Confucians who have no power to restrain chickens. They only understand bureaucratic articles. When it comes to arranging troops, they don't know anything about it. lead to fiasco."

You Miao said: "The student wants to learn something, that is, hey..."

Sun Yu said leisurely: "As a teacher, I naturally know that you want to learn something, otherwise I wouldn't come here again today."

When You Miao heard this compliment, her heart was still a little heavy, and the anxious look in her brows was seen in Sun Yu's eyes, and Sun Yu said again: "You want to learn the art of war and warfare. You can't rush this."

"What is victory? What is defeat? What is a soldier?" Sun Yu said: "Don't underestimate the civil servants, the real capable ministers, in the court, one can stand up to a million soldiers, do you believe it or not?"

You Miao seemed to understand something.

Sun Yu: "The first is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the second is to attack the city."

You Miao's mind became clear immediately, and she understood what Sun Yu said, this old civil servant is indeed very talented, only to hear Sun Yu say again: "A good fighter..."

"Surrender without fighting!" You Miao said.

"That's right." Sun Yu said: "Thousands of miles away, if the situation can be resolved in the middle of the court, many battles will not even need to be fought. When I was in Beijing, I proposed countermeasures to His Majesty. If I can successfully separate the royal family of Goryeo, how can I see it now?" The Goryeo faction has grown up and caused such troubles?"

You Miao said: "Teacher, you... also served in the court?"

Sun Yuyun smiled lightly and said, "The teacher was actually demoted to Liuzhou!"

You Miao understood. It seemed that Sun Yu was still a high-ranking official back then, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He just frowned and sighed: "The Third Highness led the army, and I only hope that he can return soon after victory."

"That's what I think." Sun Yu sighed heavily, and said, "But today's prime minister has made a wrong move. First, the food and salary can't keep up. Second, the Yanbian garrison was dispatched to go on an expedition to Korea. It's really..."

"Is it a waste of people's money?" You Miao said.

Sun Yu frowned slightly, You Miao hurriedly kept silent, and Sun Yu said: "In a while, the imperial court's collection of grain from the south of the Yangtze River as military pay will probably come down, that's all, you can go back now, don't you?" early."

You Miao got up to say goodbye, and said, "Can I borrow some books from the teacher to go back and read?"

Sun Yu said: "You take it."

You Miao went to the study to borrow a book, and then said goodbye respectfully. After going home and thinking about it, she really learned a lot from Sun Yu.After reading the book carefully, he went to the door. Sun Yu checked his homework, but scolded him and ordered him to go back and read again in a bad mood.

"How to read?" Sun Yu asked him: "When you read, you just understand it, without any thoughts of your own?"

Sweat was dripping on You Miao's forehead. At first, she just wanted to be nice and good-looking, to show that she had finished reading the book, to please Sun Yu, and to learn something. Unexpectedly, Sun Yu would see through You Miao's little thought at a glance.

"I'll just ask you a question." Sun Yu asked: "The Tao is not far away, but everyone should follow the Tao, but people who are far away can't follow the Tao. Why?"

You Miao: "..."

Sun Yu sat down with a book and said: "You answer yes, I will not punish you."

You Miao couldn't laugh or cry, thought for a while, and said: "Students think: Dao is not far away from people, and people who are Dao are far away from people, so they can't be Dao."

Sun Yu was silent, and You Miao broke the sentence and explained: "This way, you can't live in isolation, but..."

You Miao thought she understood, but when she said it, she suddenly found that she couldn't express it.

"Hehe." Sun Yu smiled, looking at You Miao.

You Miao was dumbfounded.

He thought for a while, and said: "It's the truth... To make this truth out, you should practice it from the common people... from the crowd? Once you live alone, you... don't understand it?"

Sun Yu was holding the book high, his face was livid, almost slapping You Miao's face.

After You Miao said this sentence, she felt that she didn't understand bullshit, her facial features twitched, and she almost couldn't bear to see her face, and stepped forward to pick up the book tremblingly.

"Ask you again." Sun Yu took the book but didn't give it to him, and said in a deep voice, "What is Tao?"

"Tao... is... Dao Dao..." You Miao knew that the words of the school examination were a sentence in "The Doctrine of the Mean", so it was naturally the Doctrine of the Mean, but what is "The Doctrine of the Mean" is actually mentioned in the whole book It's the golden mean, and You Miao couldn't say it again.

"Tao can be said, very Tao." Sun Yu said slowly.

"Yes, yes, yes." You Miao said, "This way, it just can't be said."

"Go back and think it over for me! I don't know much! It's almost over!"

Immediately afterwards, the book was smashed over.
