.9oo27378 Chapter 523 Everyone loves Confucius

End one

How to deceive a shrewd old man into a circle, three points are essential, and the remaining seven points must be interpreted in the direction he is willing to see. With his sincere tone, few people are not fooled.

Chen Si is a master. He used a beautiful set of cloud hands to fool the principal of the college and the three tricks. He actually believed what he said and asked a little silly: "Can I be the first-rank official in the future? Sure enough, I regard him as a fortune teller.

"Haha. Of course, of course, nodded silently and smiled: "Didn't you say that, you are rich and mighty, and you are the most powerful minister.

How long did it take to "that"?

Xiao Gao Gong asked anxiously.

Silently pretended to behave and counted: "It's about 357 years."

"Three or Five or Seven years?" Gao Fang couldn't help but feel ecstatic and said excitedly: "So quickly?"

"I'll know then. I can't say it now." Silence still waited for him in the same way. In fact, "Three or Five or Seven years. This statement is a typical ambiguous number. Three years, five years, seven years, eight years, ten years, twelve years, fifteen years, and fifteen years can be far-fetched, and even twenty-one years, twenty-six years, or even more years, can make sense, but Gao Gong is already over fifty years old this year, and obviously there is not so many years to wait.

Gao Gong asked again: "What do you think about the court in the next few years? He actually wanted to ask, whether it was King Yu or King Jing who came to the throne, it was just that it was not so straightforward, so he changed the euphemism.

"This is not my ability." Chen Shu shook his head and said, "A person's destiny still has a face to follow, so we can see through it. But the national destiny of a country is reflected by mountains, rivers and celestial phenomena. Only saints can understand it and cannot blow the sea without any edges, otherwise even the stupid people will have a moment of awakening.

"Oh" That's it." Gao Gong nodded and fell into deep thought.

After waiting in silence for a while, but before he could finish his sentence, he had to say that he had something to do, so he left the room where the sacrificial wine was polite and muttered in his heart: "***, it's not that he was in vain that he didn't wait for the censor to impeach him. Instead, he submitted his resignation first. Emperor Jiajing believed that he had been diligent and worked hard for many years, and he did not pursue his "Pu Tan" gift to him to retire as a minister. He was given the same treatment as usual, which was considered a very kindness.

Upon hearing this news, Chen Ji asked Sanchi to go to his house to inquire and see when he would set off, so that he could give it to him.

As a result, Sanchi came back and said that Zhao Butang asked him to come over, saying that he wanted to give him some books.

Everyone said this, Chen Si quickly put down his work. He took a leave. In the overall dispersed atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty, Gao Gong was simply an alien. He was not allowed to be late or leave early, and he was not allowed to leave during the middle of the journey. There are also things that are not allowed to chat during working hours, not to play horses, and not to do private work, which makes his subordinates complain.

I was also uncomfortable with silence, especially whenever I had to ask for leave, I had to face Gao Gong's black face. Even if I was finally approved, my mood would become very bad.

However, when I talked to Gao Gong today, he did not show off his face, but said with emotion: "I first entered the Hanlin Academy when I first entered the Hanlin Academy because I was from the north and spoke Henan dialect. I was often teased by others. Thanks to Senior Zhao's protection of me everywhere, I gained a foothold in the Hanlin Academy and later taught me a lot of things. Until now, he is also the object of my imitation."

I was silent. I didn't expect that there was still some connection between them.

Then Gao Gong said again: "This time he was deposed by the Yan Party, but I can't help him. Now that he is leaving, I can't even send him off. I feel really guilty."

Chen Si knew that he was representing King Yu, so he naturally could not come forward to see him off, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to Prince Yu. He whispered: "Zhao Butang will understand it."

"Go, go and send him a gift to Lord Zhao, and then give me a gift." Gao Gong said as he got up and turned to the inner room. After a while, he held a jar of wine in his hand and said, "Give him this, he will understand what I mean."

I looked at the wine jar in silence. There was no mark on it and I didn’t know what wine it was, so I had to take it over and nodded and said, “Don’t worry, I will deliver it.”

He took the jar of wine and went out to buy some gifts with Sanchi. Then he went to Zhao Zhenji's house in Tiekou Hutong.

The alley is far away from the center of the city, almost all close to the base of the city wall. Although the capital in the Ming Dynasty was not as tight as the Han and Tang dynasties, different classes lived in different cities, they also had their own distribution rules. Generally, the Forbidden City was the core. The more you lived in the inner city, the more powerful you were, and the more you lived in the outer city wall, the poorer you were. Like Zhao Shangshu, they all lived under the outer city wall, which was definitely an individual case.

When the sedan got outside the alley, it had to stop because the alley was too narrow to get in. Chen Si had to get out of the sedan, and opened the way in front of his head with gifts, leading him into the alley. A heavy rain the day before yesterday made the dirt road on the ground muddy, and the residents of the alley settled down through some bricks. There was a way to go in and out.

Sanqi walked and said, "Sir, you have stepped on the bricks and you have to jump in some places, but be careful," he jumped slightly and did not make any mistakes. However, his robe was splashed with mud. If Sanqi had not come once, he would have thought that he was wrongly responsible. This was not where the government lived? Although the country's finances were tight and the Beijing officials did not pay the salary, the government officials took the lead in receiving only half of their salary. But as the Minister of Rites and the reserve cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, there were still many ice charcoals in the local area, so he shouldn't have reached this point.

"Maybe it was to cause less trouble and not want to show off your wealth? With this speculation, he walked to Zhao Shangshu's door in silence.

Sanqi stepped forward and knocked on the door. Zhao Zhenji's voice came from inside and said, "Come in, the door is not closed." Sanqi had a bunch of doors, and let Chen Si go in. Then he saw that the yard was covered with mats and books were filled with books. Zhao Zhenji was counting and packing them with an old family member. When he saw Chen Si come in, he put down a set of "Wei Zang Tongzhi" in his hand and greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Shen, you are here."

"Midang asked me to be a wise man." Chen Shu bowed and bowed, "I can't afford to be an adult in front of you."

"Haha, don't call me a tribe. I'm resigned now and I've returned the official position to the emperor." Zhao Zhenji smiled and said, "Call me Dazhou."

"It's better to be the Duke of Dazhou." said silently.

"It's up to you.

Zhao Zhenji smiled and said, "There is no place outside, so please help inside."

"Please, please." said silently.

The two of them rushed into the house. Compared with the crowded books outside, the decorations inside were so shabby that there was no decoration except for the necessary tables, chairs and furniture.

Looking at the silent look in the room, Zhao Zhenji smiled self-deprecatingly, "I'm a "submit to the family's books and books in the four walls" and has been an official for thirty years. The only savings are those books outside, which are a clumsy. Don't learn from me when you are an official."

Chen Shu shook his head and smiled, "I dare not speak like this sir. If you don't learn from your integrity and self-confidence, will you learn from those who are corrupt and bribed?"

"Haha, there will be no fish when the water is clear. If it is too clear, it will be annoying." Taking off the shackles of the official robe, Zhao Zhenji spoke very frankly, saying: "I have used this life to confirm a truth. A person's reputation and achievements are like a fish and a bear's paw. It is difficult to get both.

When I heard the stubborn Master Zhao, I admitted the helplessness of reality. I nodded slowly in silence, but my heart was filled with lingering feelings. I don’t know what it felt.

Zhao Zhenji had to break the deadlock by himself and said with a smile: "Why? He brought wine, could he do it for me?"

Silent came back to his senses. He presented the jar of wine to Zhao Zhenji and said, "This is what Gao Jiji asked me to give to Dazhou Gong. He said everything was in the wine."

"Haha" This guy is still mysterious. Xiao, Zhao Zhenji took the wine jar and slapped the mud seal. A rich fragrance of wine came. When he smelled it, he smiled and said, "It turned out to be Du Kang wine from their hometown."

"I should be generous with my worries and thoughts are unforgettable. How can I relieve my worries? Only Du Kang." Silently smiled:

"I see."

"I used to drink with him, but he always said that the wine was not as good as Du Kang from Henan. I argued with him and said that we were four. "There are only many famous wines, so this guy yelled to bring a jar from my hometown to calm us Sichuan people." Recalling all the things that day, as if right in front of me, Zhao Zhenji shook his head and smiled, "But later he became the master of King Yu, and he was afraid of wolves in front of him and tigers in the back. He closed himself, no one saw him, and no one contacted me. I said he forgot this, and I didn't expect to remember it."

As he said that, he put the coarse tea in front of the two of them on the ground, used boiling water to rinse the tea bowl, and poured wine into it. He moved very vigorously and naturally spilled a lot.

A wry smile appeared on his face and said, "This is treasured by Gao Daren.

Zhao Zhenji smiled generously and said, "Wine is just for drinking." He went to get a plate of peanuts and a few cucumbers on his face. Then he drank with silent. Zhao Zhenji grinned and said, "My wife and son have been staying in his hometown in Sichuan. Whether I am in Beijing or Nanjing, I have not followed him." Someone once asked him. You are the Minister of State now and are fully capable of bringing your family to reunite. Why should you live in your long-term separation? Zhao Zhenji smiled and said, "I am an official, and I can always roll my bed and go home. Why do my wife and children do with me? Why would you stay in your hometown in Sichuan for peace?"

At that time, people laughed at him for being worried, but after less than half a year of saying that, Zhao Zhenji was dismissed from office. I don’t know if it was because of the expectation, or if he had a crow’s mouth.

As soon as the imperial edict came, he packed his bags with his old family member Zhao An. In fact, there was nothing to clean up. Apart from those books, there was nothing left. I packed it today and could open the way tomorrow.

"I love books all my life," Mr. Zhao said a little depressedly: "The salary I have is used to buy books except for basic food and clothing."

"Those books were accumulated by Fuzhou Duke over the past few decades?" Chen Mo asked softly.

Zhao Zhenji nodded and shook his head again and said, "I'm not afraid of you making fun of it. I used to have no money or power, and I can't even want books. After decades of hard work, it's not as good as the amount I have saved in the past few years. I said, "I'm sorry to have Zhonglan from your Jing Bureau. You can take it back later."

Qi Mo shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I won't bite you if I have too many lice, so I won't have these books."

"Why, the warehouse of the Sijing Bureau is short of.

“You didn’t borrow it.

"I haven't been there." Zhao Zhenji shook his head and said, "It's all bought from others. I just saw the seal and stamp of the Sijing Bureau, and I realized it was yours.

"Then I don't have to give me a silence and sighed: "Now everyone is just that, mentally." The public's advantage is, whoever doesn't take advantage is a bastard. I really can't be serious."

"Yes," Zhao Zhenji said empathetically: "If the whole trend does not change, how can we talk about the Ming Dynasty's rejuvenation?"

The two of them sighed for a while, and Zhao Zhenji said, "You have seen it too. I am the only one in my family, and I can't hold so many even if I hire two big cars: "These are all rare books, ancient books, and even lonely books. I have to find a good family for them, otherwise it would be a rare treasure."

Silent smiled and said, "No need, you have never heard of "Grand Canal Express Bank,"

"What are you doing?" Zhao Zhenji asked.

"They were established by the Cao Gang, specializing in commercial and tourism transportation business. The branches have been spread all over the country. Silence and a little proud smile. He couldn't help but be proud. The chariot and horse shop, which was established in partnership with Ma Wuye, also flourished with the prosperity of the Maritime Warehouse. In seven years, the semicolon has been opened to eleven provinces in the country. There are more than 100,000 employees, and the Cao Gang, Sha Gang, and Ship Gang of the country have been integrated into a powerful hidden force.

Of course, no one knew that his family had half of the shares.

After hearing the silent proposal, Zhao Zhenji was quite moved, but after thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll take a car back. Please give the rest to the Imperial College."

"Why?.Silent asked softly.

Zhao Zhenji sighed and said, "Those books are bought with ice and charcoal from the people below. They are the proceeds of bribery. I have taken them back thousands of miles away. How should I deal with them? Is it placed or hidden?" I can't live in peace. Where is the treasure? It's just a heart disease.

Chen Si advised him a few more words, and saw that he was determined, he stopped saying anything.

Zhao Zhenji looked at him and said, "The books are not from the right place, so I won't give you a copy. I will buy it with my own money." He said, and got up. He took a box wrapped in red silk and sent it to Chen Si, and smiled and said, "Actually, this is not from the right place, it's **."

In the silent mind, "Jin Ping Mei, three large golden words, the heart beats and opens the red silk cloth, and when you see it is a wooden box. When you open the box, you will see the yellowish "Mencius" lying quietly inside.

I couldn't help but feel disappointed, thinking that you were always hit by someone's plan, right?

"Open and take a look." Zhao Zhenji understood his expression and smiled and said, "Look at the door."

.

Silence gently opened the title page and saw a line of words printed on it and said, "Qiantang Bookstore Shaoxing Third Year Seal." Then he shouted softly: "Song version?.

"Yes, Zhao Zhenji lowered his voice and said, "Take it back and take it and compare it with the current "Mencius", and it will appear. There are 85 paragraphs missing in the current book!

Chen Si was already an authentic Ming Dynasty person. Naturally, he knew that in this dynasty, Mr. Mencius was not welcomed. In fact, compared to Confucius who always spoke from the perspective of the ruler, Comrade Meng Ke was a people-oriented angry young man, and of course he could not win the favor of the ruler.

Many of Confucius' words were said directly from the perspective of the ruler, such as the most famous saying "The people can be used to it, but not to know it." Rulers of all generations have seen this famous saying as if they were seeing their parents. That is why a leader of the heart can do it. They will definitely practice it in accordance with this and will be unswerving.

For example, "He is also filial and happy. There are few who like to offend superiors. Those who do not like to offend superiors, but who like to cause chaos have never happened." Simply put, if a person is filial, he will not offend superiors and cause chaos, and in one sentence, it laid the tone for the dynasties to rule the world with filial piety.

For example, "Serve the king, respect the affairs, and then eat the salary. That is to teach the ministers to contribute more and ask for less, which makes the rulers feel so happy that they can't be themselves. It has been passed down until hundreds of years later, and even foreigners even regarded it as the main table. An uncle named Sam translated this sentence in their dialect and said: "Don't ask what the country has given you, first ask what you have done for the country.

Therefore, the rulers of all dynasties, regardless of their educational level or interests and ambitions, have one thing in common, that is, everyone loves Confucius!
