Four hundred and sixtieth eight chapters Huangshigong
Zhao Kuo stayed in the old man's remote mountain villa for several days. During this period, Zhao Kuo and the old man were always quarreling. From various fields, Zhao Kuo had not experienced such a feeling for a long time. This was the case last time.
The fierce debate was still in Taoshan. Just like the Huashan sword debate in the novel, some of the best people in the world gathered in Taoshan and had a debate based on different concepts of governing the country.
Xunzi's benevolence, Han Fei's law, Gongsun Long's name, Zhao Kuo's people... Unfortunately, things have changed and people have changed. The most glorious era of hundreds of schools has passed, and Zhao Kuo can no longer find anyone who can compare with him.
People who debate and explore themselves. Nowadays, it is rare for someone to stand in front of Zhao Kuo, talk with him about the changes in the world, and explain their own thoughts to each other. This is also the first time Zhao Kuo met a scholar of Huang Lao's theory.
Zhao Kuo himself did not have any malice towards this theory that was so brilliant in the post-war world. Even if he had shortcomings, Zhao Kuo had no malice. They were not selfish villains. Like Zhao Kuo, they also
The common people who are also worried about the world and want to save the world. On the real historical line, they have even achieved this. The devastated people have a rare opportunity for self-cultivation.
When Zhao Kuo formulated many post-war policies, he also drew on many of Huang Lao's ideas, easing the restrictions of the law and giving people the opportunity to develop freely. These were Huang Lao's first ideas. Zhao Kuo and the old man
, cherish each other, and the same goes for the old man. He hides in the deep mountains and old forests, thinking about various fields such as philosophy, culture, politics, etc., and thinking of ways to save the people of the world. He only regrets that he cannot meet a confidant who can confide his heart.
And Zhao Kuo arrived at this time. The old man was very happy. Even though Zhao Kuo yelled at him several times and almost beat him, the old man was not angry. This is right. Zhao Kuo was angry, which shows that he really
He didn't care about the debate with himself, but he was just perfunctory, so how could he become so irritable? This is the general who defeated the Six Kingdoms. He has such a fiery temperament, how normal it is.
After completing competitions in many fields, their eyes finally fell on the world today. Zhao Kuo has been busy, but he lacks someone who can correct his shortcomings, and the old man, he obviously sees it more clearly.
The old man frowned and said seriously: "I dare not say that what you are doing now is wrong. I have been hiding here for a long time and I cannot know the situation in various places like you do."
"To sum up what I saw along the road, I have three confusions."
"Please tell me."
"Your previous approach seems to be to abolish the military merit system and turn it into a military-specific one. I have long had the idea of abolishing the military merit system. Such a system is indeed not conducive to the post-war world. You have turned the military merit system into a military merit system.
The establishment of a standing army in the Central Special Administrative Region is something I have never thought of, and it makes me very excited. But I don’t understand, since you want to abolish the military merit system, why should you establish a new military merit system elsewhere? This is not the before and after.
Contradictory?"
After hearing the old man's question, Zhao Kuo was silent for a moment and said: "The previous military merit system was the only way out for the people. If I abolish it rashly, it will definitely cause fear and uneasiness among the people, especially under the old Qin Dynasty.
Therefore, I want to give them a way to climb up. I have established schools and want to give people a way to climb up through universal education..."
"But education is a long-term road, and it cannot be realized in a short time... Therefore, I want to reduce some public complaints through incentives in other fields, so that the reform can proceed smoothly. When education is popularized, these things will sooner or later
It will all become a reward in honor and no longer have substantial power." Zhao Kuo explained, the old man stroked his beard and nodded.
"Since you agree that it is time to rest with the people, why are you rushing to carry out various changes? In today's era, your approach will cause chaos in government affairs, which is not conducive to the stability of the world.",
The old man asked his second question.
"When I was young, I fought all over the country and suffered numerous injuries. I used to be as strong as an ox and could still hold on. But now...I can feel that I can't hold on for too long and can't stand the cold.
, I dare not take off my coat, and I can’t even draw the bow..." Zhao Kuo smiled bitterly, and he said: "This is why I am so anxious... I also understand that my actions are a bit anxious...
But if I don’t do it now, I’m afraid it will be too late.”
"I know how to take care of myself. You can stay here temporarily, rest for a few years, cultivate yourself, and you will live a long life." The old man couldn't help but speak. He pointed at himself and said, "I have visited before.
Your father, I remember his appearance, which is why I can recognize you at first sight... Look at me, I am still strong and not troubled by diseases. You can be my neighbor.
....”
Zhao Kuo lowered his head and pondered for a long time. Finally, he shook his head and said: "The meaning of life does not lie in its length, but in the value created within the time limit... Since I was twenty years old, I
After the battlefield, I have been thinking about making the world peaceful and letting the people live a good life... In order to realize my ideals, I lost a lot of things. I was not able to accompany my relatives, even if they were the last ones.
When they needed me...I couldn't go back to see them."
"I personally killed the person I admired most."
"I met my closest friend on the battlefield."
"For a period of time, I couldn't even face Zhao Ren."
"My ambition is about to come true... I'm too tired. I just want to go and accompany them earlier... I want to drink with Mr. Xinling, I want to apologize to Mr. Xinping, and I want to hear it again.
The teachings of those elders, I want to feed my mother a few dates with my own hands, and I want to be with my wife every day... I also have some very interesting hangers-on, and I really miss their quarreling and bickering.
Looks like..." Zhao Kuo couldn't help but laugh, with light in his eyes.
The old man looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and said nothing else.
"Do you believe in a soul after death?"
"I didn't believe it before, but now I believe it."
"why?"
"Because I owe so much, I hope to have the opportunity to make up for it."
The old man said: "As you said, the value of life does not depend on the length. I think that if they can be with people like you as friends and companions in this life, they will have no regrets in this life. You don't have to think so.
", the old man felt the sadness hidden deep in Zhao Kuo's heart, he smiled and said: "Actually, you don't have to be so anxious, you have to believe in our descendants."
"What you have done for this generation is enough." The old man continued: "You are leading the rapid development of Qin State entirely because of your strong prestige. You can convince everyone, and only you can.
You can do such a thing, but one day, if you are no longer here, the development you have brought about by yourself will be out of control. If you let me say, it is best for you not to do anything, just stay at home and take care of yourself.
Some chickens and ducks, let’s leave the world to young people and see what they will do.”
"If they make a mistake, it's okay for you to come out and reprimand them to stop them."
Zhao Kuo knew that the old man was not wrong. He had indeed acted too hastily. He only talked about the title. If he was gone one day, would the others really know what the next steps would be? They didn't know the future.
With the development of the country, what strange shape will they turn their system into? Zhao Kuo couldn't help but ponder. After thinking for a long time, he nodded, agreed with the old man's view, and asked: "Your third question
Woolen cloth?"
"Since you agree, there is no need to ask the third question!" the old man laughed.
Zhao Kuo stayed with the old man for a while. They often talked about future government affairs, future world trends, etc. Unfortunately, their debates and discussions were not recorded. Ge was eating, drinking and playing every day.
Ignore these things completely. If Zhao Kuo is not Ge, but Xiao He, Zhang Cang, or Meng Yi, they will definitely be ecstatic and listen intoxicated.
If Han Fei were here, he would definitely record it and maybe roll up his sleeves to participate in the debate.
Unfortunately, Ge didn't know this.
Zhao Kuo still wanted to continue his inspection. He wanted to go to Chu State to see his son and grandson. The old man sent him to the side of the road. Both of them were reluctant to leave. It was difficult to find a confidant. If Zhao Kuo had not
With so many things going on, he really wanted to stay here for a longer time. The same was true for the old man. He had lived alone for a long time and rarely met Zhao Kuo, and he felt very reluctant to leave.
Zhao Kuo got on the carriage. He looked at the old man not far away and said goodbye to him again.
"To this day, I don't know what to call you."
"It's been too long since I've been called by anyone, and I've forgotten my name. You can call me old friend, or like the locals, call me Old Man Xiapi or Old Man Huangshi." Huang Shigong said with a smile.
Zhao Kuo frowned, always feeling that the name seemed familiar. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something. He had heard a story that Zhang Liang had met an old man in Xiapi.
The old man threw his shoes down and asked Zhang Liang to pick them up for him. He did this several times, but Zhang Liang didn't get angry. The old man gave his books to Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang studied hard and eventually became a famous minister.
The old man who gave Zhang Liang the book was called Huang Shigong. Zhao Kuo suddenly grinned. He looked at Huang Shigong not far away and said: "Old friend, your knowledge cannot be interrupted like this.
You need to find a suitable young man to inherit your talents."
Huang Shigong was stunned, nodded, and said: "I have been looking for it."
"The new law no longer prohibits people from traveling to study. I think if you are lucky enough, you will meet someone."
Zhao Kuo said, turned around and left here. Huang Shigong looked at Zhao Kuo who was leaving, thoughtfully. He also returned to his home. There was no sadness on his face. He lived in seclusion here, and he had no regard for life or death.
Not to mention parting, he picked up his pen, found a new bamboo slip, and began to write, "On Wuchenghou", he wrote a big title, and then began to record the past few days truthfully.
My own and Zhao Kuo’s content and knowledge in all aspects.
Huang Shigong read a lot of books and had a very good memory. What's more, Zhao Kuo impressed him so deeply. He clearly remembered the content of his debate with Zhao Kuo, and even the results of winning and losing. He was unwilling to lie, even Zhao Kuo
Angry, he wrote down all the things that shocked him... Under the night, the wind gently blew the thatch, playing a quiet and sweet music. The old man sat in front of the case, lit a candle, and wrote seriously
stand up.
There was lightning and thunder in the sky, and light rain fell again.
The old man raised his head, listened to the sound of rain outside the house, couldn't help laughing, and wrote interestingly: "When the book was written, there was lightning and thunder, and God couldn't help being shocked by Wu Chengjun's remarks.
..", but he didn't know how much trouble his joke would cause in the future...
Huang Shigong spent a long time and finally completed the book he debated with Zhao Kuo. From the debate in various fields to the final discussion on the issue of governing the country, it can be said that the value of this book far exceeds
The other books he wrote also summarized all the thoughts of the two great sages. Huang Shigong held this book and couldn't put it down. He was extremely happy, but he was also a little worried.
This book is a good book, but where can I find someone who can learn it?
People nowadays are so stupid. If such a book falls into the hands of an ignorant person, it would be such a waste. Starting tomorrow, I will go around to see if I can meet young people who can teach me.
.
At the same time, Zhao Kuo also left here and rushed towards Chu Di. Sitting on the carriage, Zhao Kuo looked at the farming pictures around him, but he was still thinking about the old man's suggestion. It seemed that he really
It’s time to slow down a bit. Each generation has its own goals. It’s wrong for me to teach the emperor like this but not be able to set an example myself. Zhao Kuo pondered, and the distance between him and Zhao Kang and Fusu was getting bigger and bigger.
The closer.
It can be said that Zhao Kang was very troubled during this period. The main problem came from his Youzi. Zhao Kang was deeply influenced by his father. After coming to Kuaiji County, he adopted the method of governing by doing nothing.
He did not interfere in too many things and allowed the people to develop on their own. This behavior allowed Kuaiji County to quickly recover from the war. At the same time, he was close to the local people and promoted and employed them. It can be said that Kuaiji County is so stable and peaceful.
, are inseparable from Zhao Kangsheng’s all-round affinity.
But the arrival of Fusu destroyed all this. Fusu was a man who could not tolerate sand in his eyes. He was too upright and could not see the slightest bit of darkness. Zhao Kang used to turn a blind eye, but
Fusu just kept his eyes wide open and refused to do anything that violated the law... The teachings of Han Fei and Zhao Kuo were added to this kind man, creating his character of integrity, duty-abiding, and hatred of evil.
