Zhao Bing was really eloquent and determined to be a 'bad guy'. This scared the two old men quite a lot.? ??
The bad guys can't bring disaster to the whole world. At that time, I started to do ideological work for His Highness in turn, starting from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Lao Tzu, Sun Tzu and Confucius, and finally going straight to the country masters. In short, I just want him to learn well.
After all this fussing about, the person seems to have already forgotten the dispute just now and the reason for it.
"Sir, I have recently been reviewing the Analects of Confucius, and there is something unclear about it. Can you clarify my confusion?" He stopped talking when the two of them were talking and their mouths were dry, and poured tea for them.
"Your Highness, please speak." After hearing this, Ying Jieyan quickly put down the cup in his hand and sat up straight. He said that this was the first time that he had fulfilled his responsibilities as a master when he entered the palace, and based on his experience, His Highness would never make a mistake, so he couldn't help but let him
I was wary, wondering what kind of tricks this kid was up to.
"The Master said: If you are extravagant, you will not be inferior, and if you are frugal, you will be solid. Rather than being inferior, you would rather be solid. What should you say?" Zhao Bing said.
"This sentence comes from "The Analects of Confucius? Shuer", which means that living a luxurious life will make you arrogant and immodest, while being frugal will appear to be aloof and stubborn. In comparison, it is better to be aloof and stubborn than arrogant and immodest.
Virtue, luxury is bad virtue." Ying Jie Yan explained.
"Yeah!" Zhao Bing nodded to show that he understood, without saying much, and then asked, "You can never tire of fine food, and you can never tire of fine food. What else can you say?"
"This sentence comes from the "Analects of Confucius? Xiangdang", which means that the more refined the food, the better, and the finer the meat, the better. Does Your Highness understand?" Ying Jieyan replied, but for a moment he couldn't understand why His Highness would combine the two.
Put unrelated words together and ask them together.
"Okay, I understand the meaning, but I'm still confused." Zhao Bing said with a smile.
"Your Highness, feel free to ask!" Ying Jieyan knew the drama was coming and cheered up.
"In the first chapter, the sage taught the world to live frugally, live within one's means, and not be extravagant. However, his own food requires exquisiteness and is not too complicated. Isn't it self-contradictory? I think he is deceiving the world and stealing his reputation." Zhao Bing smiled.
said.
"This... Your Highness must not comment like that!" His Highness's words shocked Ying Jieyan, and he didn't know how to answer it for a moment. But Confucius is a Confucian saint and the common teacher of these scholars. If he deceives the world and steals his reputation, everyone will
Don't they all become the disciples of this 'bad guy', so they can only stop him first.
"Your Highness, Zhu Zi once commented on this: The sage eats like this, not to satisfy his appetite, but to nourish his qi and not harm his life. This should be the case. However, if the sage does not eat what he eats, a person who has a poor appetite may eat it instead, because his desire and mind will overcome him.
I have no time to choose. It is not what His Highness wants." Jiang Wanzai had read a lot and remembered the explanations of later generations.
"The comments of later generations are not sufficient evidence. According to historical records, the saint only served as an official for three years, and did not receive some courtesy until his later years. Throughout his life, he was just a commoner, not humble but relatively poor. Therefore, he was regarded as
His status and dietary life in the country should be no different from ordinary people, and his diet for half of his life is just to satisfy his hunger. Most of what Zhu Zi said was meant to cover up and defend, but even if he thought it was a cover, he was not sure whether his statement was correct. Furthermore,
Zhu Zi has only passed away for a hundred years, but there are still people who know what he did and his virtues..." Zhao Bing refused to agree and continued, but was interrupted before he could finish his words.
Zhao Bing knew how much he weighed, and what he said was actually taken out of context and could not withstand scrutiny and verification. Therefore, he only wanted to stun them with a blockbuster, or discuss classics with two old bookbags who had real talent and knowledge.
I've already shown my timidity. And this sophistry skill was developed when I was a moderator. Otherwise, how would I be able to block the attack of those hardcore trolls? Now I have to use it to deal with these two ancients. I want to do something on my own.
Why is it so difficult for them to do something that is originally very simple, and they have to take a big detour? I can't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Your Highness, just say what you have to say, and don't slander the saint." Jiang Wanzai had already heard it. The subtext of His Highness's words just now was that Confucius was too poor and couldn't afford good food, but for the sake of face, he could only live frugally.
's life is actually just that of a hypocrite. Zhu Xi is a member of this dynasty, and he did do some inappropriate things back then. There are political reasons why he is now respected as a great Confucian. But if you want to refute His Highness's words, it is really
It was not easy to handle, and it was even worse to spread the word. I thought that His Highness would have something to say when he got involved with these two people, so I simply interrupted him.
"Haha, what I mean is that saints also have emotions and desires. Wanting to eat better is not a big deal, but I don't mean to slander." Zhao Bing said with a smile. Now the goal has been achieved, and the current world belongs to the scholars.
The world, if you continue to dig up their ancestral graves, you are the enemy of the world, so you should accept it as soon as possible and take the initiative to apologize.
"This is the best!" Jiang Wanzai said with a sigh of relief. He shook his head and smiled bitterly when he looked at Ying Jieyan beside him. His Highness had deviant thoughts at a young age, but it was not a good thing. He couldn't help but feel sympathy for him and taught him
It is not an easy task for such an active-thinking and independent-minded student. But His Highness seemed to have not finished speaking yet and started to express his opinions again.
"In today's world, wolves are in power and tigers and leopards are rampant. Under the invasion of foreign barbarians, rituals and music have been destroyed. People's hearts are no longer the same as before, and there is no longer the benevolence and righteousness of the past. Now there is no righteousness in the court, and villains are standing in the court. I think this king
If you still act morally and adhere to etiquette, you will inevitably be tied up and controlled by others." Zhao Bing said.
"So His Highness is going to be a bad person? Doesn't this mean that he is colluding with the villain and colluding with others?" Ying Jieyan couldn't help but smile. Your Highness is such a child that he could come up with such a method.
"Sir, you misunderstood. I want to be a bad guy with righteousness in mind!" Zhao Bing was a little frustrated. It was really hard to talk to these 'bookbags', so he had to repeat, "I think that only acting with righteousness is the only way to do things."
First of all, even if what he did was unethical and the means were sinister, it is not an exaggeration. In terms of what happened today, Mr. Jiang is highly virtuous and respected, honest and upright. But now Mr. Jiang just wants to leave a trace of blood for the Jiang family but cannot, just because he is afraid that some people will say that he is a relative.
If they lose their righteousness, they will suffer a loss of reputation. However, those young people who are full of benevolence and righteousness can do things in vain, promote old disciples at will, take bribes and pervert the law wantonly, and even do things that betray the Lord and be ungrateful. Isn't this the case that the good people suffer and the villains gain?
, how can we convince everyone."
"What His Highness said means that we should treat villains with an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. If a dog bites a human, the human will bite him in return?" Ying Jieyan felt that His Highness's words were too childish and said with a smile.
"No!" Zhao Bing was secretly happy that there had been debates about dogs biting people and people biting dogs in his previous life. How could it be so difficult for him? He smiled sinisterly and said, "If it bites me first, its teeth will be pulled out and its claws will be cut off."
.How can it dare to bite me again without its claws and teeth? It is afraid that it will just hear my voice and run away."
"This..." Ying Jieyan was surprised. His Highness's answer was inconsistent with common sense. He should have cited scriptures to refute me, but he only solved it in such a simple and crude way.
"Master Jiang has always refused to agree to the king's decision to open a palace in Qiongzhou. Isn't he afraid that he will be responsible for killing the prince and bringing the queen mother into injustice? But even if Master Jiang does not agree, I'm afraid he will still be unable to escape the rumors!" After a long journey!
In the circle, Zhao Bing became a little anxious. He stopped bickering with them and went straight to the topic, "Now the ministers in the court have decided to send personnel to Qiongzhou, and the only thing left is the approval of the Queen Mother and Your Majesty, but your Excellency has not commented yet.
.If it fails, everyone will say that your Excellency has exercised power and hijacked the Queen Mother and Her Majesty, so that the court meeting cannot be carried out, and has caused harm to the country and the emperor, and you will definitely be impeached. And if something changes in the future, it will be even harder for you to escape the blame."
"As for Jiang Yishan's matter, I also think that your Excellency has not considered it properly." Seeing Jiang Wanzai opening his mouth to speak, Zhao Bing interrupted first, "Your Excellency arranged for Jiang Yishan to return home to repair his father's tomb and observe mourning, but did you ever think about it?
Guoduchang has long been in the hands of the enemy. With his character, he will not sit back and watch the Tatars rampage. He is afraid that he will raise the flag of righteousness and gather the people to resist the violence. However, it has neither strong soldiers nor external aid. How can it be an enemy if it fights alone?
The fate of being defeated and dead."
"Although Qiongzhou is also a dangerous place, the country still exists and is separated by a natural moat, so the outcome is still unpredictable. Even if Qiongzhou is lost, Qiongzhou is surrounded by the sea, and it can still go out to sea to continue dealing with the enemy; and how can I allow Zhongliang to do so?"
If he has no heir, he will be protected. If your Excellency still has any doubts, I can write to Your Majesty to remove him from the palace. If there is any blame, I will bear all the blame, and your reputation will not be harmed. "
After Zhao Bing finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Wanzai with determination. He had tried his best. Whether he succeeded or not was up to him. However, he also made up his mind that even if it was still difficult to succeed, he could only act alone, because it was his own responsibility.
The last glimmer of hope to escape fate. As for the consequences, we can't care about them for the time being. We can only do it first and see later, and let God's will.
"Okay... I will go to the palace tonight to advise the Queen Mother and facilitate Her Highness to open a palace in Qiongzhou. But..." Jiang Wanzai lowered his head and thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind.
"My lord, please tell me, but if there is any place where I can contribute, I will never refuse!" Zhao Bing was heartbroken and said excitedly. At this moment, as long as his life is spared, he can agree to any conditions. If Jiang Wanzai helps him unconditionally
He was still somewhat unsure of himself, but opening his mouth to plead for himself made him feel at ease. After all, as the old saying goes: the one who takes advantage of others is short of hand, and the one who eats is short of mouth.
"Old minister, I would like to thank Your Highness in advance!" Jiang Wanzai said with a brief salute, "Zongjie has been in the palace for some time. He was originally from our clan. His parents died early, so he was adopted by the veteran as his adopted son and raised in the palace.
, I regard him as my own son. The old minister has reached the end of his life, and he knows that his time is running out, and it is no longer possible to take care of him. I would like to invite His Highness to work in the palace, so as to leave a lasting legacy for his family and be worthy of his parents."
"My lord, please rest assured. I will treat you like a brother and will never abandon you. If you violate this word, you will be punished by heaven and earth!" After hearing this, Zhao Bing immediately agreed and raised his hand to swear.
Chapter completed!
