"Brother Hu, you are really an amazing talent, you can actually come up with this method. I really did not misjudge you, I know that you and Brother Xia are very good people, so I recommended it to my nephew."
Uncle Zhu Shouren was full of praise for Hu Wei, and even praised Xia Qiang for his good manners.
"Haha, it's also thanks to Brother Zhu's discerning eye and recommendation of talents to your wise nephew that we have the opportunity to realize our ambitions."
Hu Wei also complimented Zhu Shouren.
"That's true. Thank you Brother Zhu. If it weren't for Brother Hu's recommendation, how could we have met such a big man as Mr. Zhu." Xia Chai also agreed.
The three of them complimented each other, their self-confidence increased a lot, and they divided the work with satisfaction.
Xia Qiang was responsible for keeping watch at the window, paying attention to people coming from outside, and giving warnings in time. Hu Wei and his uncle Zhu Shouren were responsible for rummaging through the handsome tent to find the books that Zhu Pingan had read yesterday, as well as the paper for writing.
In fact, there was no need for them to rummage around, as there was a pile of books placed on the candlestick made by Zhu Pingan.
One of them was still lying in the middle, but the pages were just closed. At first glance, it seemed that Zhu Ping'an had just read it.
Uncle Zhu Shouren and Hu Wei saw the book on the table at a glance, and they looked at each other.
"There is no mistake. This is the book that my nephew read just this morning. I have an impression of the blue cover. In the morning, I noticed that my nephew was reading a book with a blue cover. It must be this book.
"
Uncle Zhu Shouren picked up the book on the table first and said with confidence.
"Well, yes, I also have the impression that Mr. Zhu seemed to have read a blue book this morning. This should be the correct one."
Hu Wei also nodded, he was also somewhat impressed.
Uncle Zhu Shouren quickly flipped through the book and saw a slight crease on one page. He couldn't help but pat the book and said to Hu Wei and Xia Qiang with a proud look on his face, "This page has a crease. It should be
When my nephew saw something interesting, he specially folded a corner to mark it so that he could read it next time. When I was in my hometown, I went to my second brother’s house to see my nephew’s study. There were many pages with creases in my nephew’s study.
, every creased page is rather worn, caused by my nephew’s frequent flipping.”
"Well, that's right. Brother Zhu really knows Mr. Zhu. This page is indeed three times older than the other pages. Mr. Zhu must have stayed on this page for a long time." Hu Wei stepped forward to flip through the book and clicked it with certainty.
nod.
"Let me take a look while there's no one outside." Xia Qiang, who was watching the wind at the window, couldn't help it anymore. He let out the window regardless and came over to take a look.
The three of them gathered together and stared at this page to study.
"What is there on this page that my nephew should read over and over again?"
Uncle Zhu Shouren read it over and scratched his head. For a moment, he couldn't tell what the important content was on this page.
"This book is a collection of memorials. This page is a memorial written by a censor named Zhang Kongwu in the Song Dynasty after he inspected Sichuan. It touches on many aspects such as politics, economy, and people's livelihood. But what attracted Mr. Zhu must be the one about military affairs.
"Records." Xia Qiang combined the book and the contents of the front and back pages and said while touching his chin.
"Oh, let me take a look, um, there is something about military affairs..." Uncle Zhu Shouren was inspired and immediately lowered his head to look for that sentence.
"'There is a general named Zhang Hao in Bashu. He has a style of training in front of the palace of the military sage Sun Wu. He can be entrusted with important tasks as appropriate..." This memorial contains only this sentence related to military affairs. It is also worthy of my nephew's reading.
Long?!"
Uncle Zhu Shouren found it quickly, and then shook his head in disappointment.
"Haha, Brother Zhu, it must be this sentence that attracted Master Zhu's attention." Hu Wei said with a smile.
"That's right, that's it." Xia Qiang also agreed.
"What's the profound meaning of this sentence?" Uncle Zhu Shouren looked at the two of them doubtfully and asked.
"Brother Zhu, does he know the allusion to the military sage Sun Wu who trained troops in front of the palace of Wu Kingdom?" Hu Wei asked his uncle Zhu Shouren with a smile.
"Ahem, I didn't sleep well last night. I was a little dizzy and couldn't remember for a while." The uncle coughed and said shamelessly.
In fact, he only read the Four Books and Five Classics or some indescribable small forbidden books between men and women. As for historical books and other historical books, in his opinion, they were useless for the imperial examination. He basically didn't read them and didn't bother to read them.
Hu Wei and Xia Qiang knew when Zhu Shouren looked like this that he didn't know, but they didn't expose him.
"Brother Zhu, this allusion is like this. In order to test Sun Wu's ability, King Wu deliberately selected more than 100 maids for Sun Wu to train, including the two most beloved beauties of King Wu."
Hu Wei preached to Zhu Shouren.
"Sun Wu Yan is very lucky. There are a hundred palace maids at his disposal..." Uncle Zhu Shouren chuckled.
Hu Wei and Xia Qiang were speechless.
"Sun Wu divided the palace maids into two teams, and designated the two most favored beauties of King Wu as the left and right captains. He explained the military orders clearly and said that those who violated the orders would be punished according to the law. The palace maids responded well in their mouths, but felt strange in their hearts.
, it’s funny, during the drill, they didn’t listen to the orders, they laughed loudly, and the formation was in chaos. Sun Wu gave three orders and five military orders, but the maids still didn’t listen to the orders, none of them were in good shape, their delicate bodies were shaking wildly, they were laughing, and the formation was in disorder.
, Captain Two Beloved Concubines even laughed so much that he almost sat on the ground. So, Sun Wu ordered in accordance with military law to have Captain Two Beloved Concubines be beheaded in public."
Hu Wei continued to preach.
"Ah, he wants to kill King Wu's two favorite concubines? What can King Wu do?" Uncle Zhu Shouren said in surprise.
"That's right. When King Wu saw that Sun Wu wanted to kill his concubines, he immediately sent someone to tell him that he already knew that Sun Wu could use troops, and asked Sun Wu to pardon his two concubines, but Sun Wu refused without mercy.
When General Yan was in the army, he was not satisfied with his orders, so he insisted on killing the captains of the two concubines. Then, he appointed the leaders of the two teams to serve as captains and continued to train troops. When Sun Wu was training troops again, none of the maids dared to disobey Sun Wu.
He strictly followed the military orders, marched forward and backward, followed orders and prohibitions, and formed an orderly formation. Sun Wu asked the King of Wu to review. However, the King of Wu was sad because his two beloved concubines were killed and did not want to go. Sun Wu went to see the King of Wu in person.
Tao; orders and prohibitions, rewards and punishments are clear. This is the common law of military strategists and the general rule for generals to run the army. Soldiers must be treated with dignity. Only in this way can they obey orders and defeat the enemy in battle. After hearing this, King Wu's anger subsided and he was ready for review.
The palace maid found that he was acting like a strong soldier despite his orders and prohibitions, so she completely dissipated her anger and worshiped Sun Wu as a general."
Xia Qiang followed Hu Wei's words and slowly told the following story.
"Oh, I understand. My nephew is not so much interested in this sentence in the memorial as in the allusion about military training in front of Sun Wu's palace. In this allusion, Sun Wu emphasized that only by being dignified to the soldiers can they obey orders. Orders and prohibitions. In other words, the wise nephew wants to imitate Sun Wu..."
After hearing this, his uncle Zhu Shouren suddenly realized.
"Brother Zhu, you are wise." Hu Wei smiled and praised.
"Hehe, where is it..." Uncle Zhu Shouren waved his hand helpfully and laughed.
