Chapter 194: The Person Who Praises 2

Zhao Wu said something inconsistent, but Qi Ce understood it and added: "If you go on land from Jia, it is not fast enough, so it is better to select elite soldiers and take the warship of the country directly to Jia, and then join the Zhao warship of Jia..."

Tian Su is a conspirator. He also understood Zhao Wu's words and asked worriedly: "Are you sure?"

Zhao Wu shook his head and answered sincerely: "The arrow is on the string, and I have to fire it."

So, the army of Jin began to retreat, and the king of Qi successfully fled into Zhu, and then returned to the country through Zhu...

On the way back to China, Zhao Wu's army passed through the capital of Lu. The king of Lu warmly welcomed Zhao Wu. This time, the people of Lu had little effort and only played a role in playing soy sauce on the battlefield. Afterwards, they obtained a large area of ​​land and far exceed the number of prisoners of war they expected. Duke Xiang of Lu was very happy. He warmly welcomed the army of Jin, and his attitude was unprecedentedly humble. At the banquet to entertain Zhao Wu, Duke Xiang of Lu ordered people to sing "Zhao Nan. There is a Dead Elk in the Wild" in the Book of Songs, and his poems were:

"There are dead elks in the wild, and the white thatched ones are covered by them. There are girls who are in love with spring, and the auspicious men lure them.

There is Park Le, there is Dead Elk in the Wild, the Pure Thread of White Thread, and there is a Girl Like Jade.

I feel relaxed and free! I will not shake my arms! I will bark without any incoming arms!"

The last three sentences in this poem describe the intermittent three sentences of requests made by a woman during intimacy: ‘Slow down and lightly!’ ‘Don’t tug my waist!’ ‘Don’t make the dog bark’ – Lu is a metaphor for diplomatic relations using the relationship between men and women, and uses the tactful request of a young woman to indicate that Lu is "performing the 'concubine'" to Jin. It means: Your great country of Jin should comfort our princes and small countries with benevolence and righteousness, and be gentle to us.

Faced with the humility of Lu State, Zhao Wu wrote a poem "Tang Di", which means: Let's be at peace with brothers.

As a result, the ruler and ministers of Lu were very grateful to Zhao Wu. After the reception, the three Huans came forward and solemnly thanked Zhao Wu. The ruling uncle Sun Bao spoke out and said, "Wuzi is really kind and righteous. He cares deeply for our Lu, which makes us Lu don't know how to be grateful..."

Zhao Wu was whispering to Tian Su and Qi Ce. When Zhao Wu heard Shusun Bao's praise, he interrupted the other party with an unhappy expression: "Who said I am benevolent and righteous? How could I be benevolent and righteous? Wei State killed three hundred Rong soldiers, I killed three hundred nobles of Wei State; Qi State killed two thousand Jin soldiers, and I killed more than 50,000 Qi State soldiers. Can such a vicious person be considered benevolent and righteous?"

Shusun Bao coughed and said righteously: "In ancient times, wise men often said, "Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, courtesy, and kindness". The so-called "loyalty" means performing one's duties and doing things in line with one's own identity (profession). Jin State is a big country and our overlord. The covenant says, "Do not infringe on the small one." As the deputy commander of Jin State, you helped us weak people, maintain our dignity, and perform our duties.

In addition, you are loyal to your monarch, strictly perform your duties, and never involve internal struggles between the ministers and officials of Jin State. This is really a role model of loyalty...

The so-called "filial piety" is that you take on the task of reviving the Zhao family with your twentieth crown and start from bit by bit, so that the Zhao family's family business can rise again, be worthy of their ancestors and their descendants. This is the greatest filial piety.

The so-called "ritual" has never surpassed your duties for many years. You insisted on treating your superiors and subordinates in accordance with the rules of the Spring and Autumn Period. You are always humble in treating our countries and abide by etiquette and reception. As for "benevolence" - the so-called "internal and external differences, Wuzi, you are a general who wins every battle. You take your enemies seriously on the battlefield. This is your "loyalty", not your evil; it is your "ritual", you obey the way of being a minister, and you are performing the duties of the deputy commander of Jin. How dare I blame you with evil?

Wuzi, you have been fighting and killing for so many years. Even the people of Lu know that fighting with Zhao Wuzi will never suffer any losses. After the spoils you are divided, you always use the size of your merit as the standard. Isn’t this your ‘ritual’ and ‘benevolence’?

As for Zhao Wuzi, you treat your own slaves and your subordinates, you are also full of benevolence. Our Lu State was lucky enough to avoid the disaster of destroying the country because of your kindness and righteousness, and he also got the opportunity to straighten your back and speak loudly in front of Qi. It was all because of your kindness. In the future, the widows will rely more on your kindness to make our Lu State gain a foothold."

Who is Shusun Bao? He is the first person to comment on "immortality". The standard for "immortality" he determined is the ultimate "immortality" standard for the Chinese nation. At this moment, Zhao Wuzi did not feel particularly happy to receive such high evaluation from Shusun Bao. He just felt strange. Could it be that Shusun Bao is also a time traveler. He talked about "loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and etiquette" several years earlier than Confucius.

Zhao Wuzi looked at Shu Sun Bao with his eyes squinted for a long time, but he didn't notice anything strange about his expression on Shu Sun Bao's face. When Uncle Sun Bao saw Zhao Wu's appearance, he thought he was a panic-like attitude. He was also in his heart: "Don't be arrogant or impatient, Zhao Wuzi, Daren!"

In fact, Zhao Wu misunderstood that in modern society, in the bronze inscriptions unearthed from Zhongshan, the inscriptions used in the bird seal characters are all inappropriate things such as "destiny, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, etiquette, kindness" that are used. This shows that in the Spring and Autumn Period, there was already the term "loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and ritual", and Confucius just summarized the mainstream concepts of the Spring and Autumn Period.

It is said that before King Wuling of the Zhongshan Kingdom, he sent scouts to spy on Zhongshan. After returning, he described it as follows: "The King of Zhongshan likes to make friends with intellectuals and salutes equally when he meets scholars. He often sends warmth to the countryside, visits retired old professors in poor alleys and houses to ask about his well-being. As for those cave dwellers who cannot find a job (about equivalent to current experts and professors, that is, specializing in academic appreciation of the leaders' opinions and 'professional raising hands to agree'), they are also regarded as guests of honor, just like serving them as fathers."

According to historical records, King Wuling of Zhao was shocked when he heard the scout say this and sighed: "It's over, isn't this a virtuous king? I will definitely not be able to beat him such a virtuous king."

The scout said: "Otherwise. In my opinion, the King of Zhongshan likes to let the experts and professors create the public opinion atmosphere he likes and summoned them to the court to be regarded as a noble. He no longer knows the truth or falsehood of the matter, but only knows to be immersed in the false atmosphere he created. As a result, the soldiers have no passion to kill the enemy outside.

He respects those scholars who listen to him and help him make up facts, so the farmers will not be willing to repair the earth honestly. They all want to learn to flatter the scholars in a jealous way and say some false praises. The farmland will become deserted and the country will become poor. It would be strange if such a country does not destroy its country. You should beat it quickly."

King Wuling of Zhao followed the investigators' advice and easily destroyed Zhongshan Kingdom...

At this time, Zhao Wu didn't know the mystery of time and space. He stared at Shusun Bao for a long time, but didn't notice anything unusual, so he shook his head and smiled bitterly - Shusun Bao thought that I, Zhao Wu, never participated in family struggles, and he was wrong.

After saying goodbye to the king and minister of Lu, Zhao Wu entered Qi, boarded a warship in Sun Lin's father's territory, went upstream and headed towards Jin. In real history, Zhao Wu's father and uncle died with his family and were buried in the mountains since he was a child. Since he entered the overturned political arena, his life has been stormy and several ups and downs. At the age of 40, he suddenly got tired of the sinister officialdom.

Time passed and life was vain. Zhao Wu of this age wanted Gao Xiang to lead him far and into the sky. But the brilliant dream he once had was too difficult to make achievements - Duke Ping of Jin was not an enlightened monarch who was inspiring and seeking personal gain, and his colleagues from various families who were slandering and seeking personal gain were not his soulmates. Looking back on the past, his life was a battle, "maggots fought over dirt, and their heads were white, but they had more gold."

Therefore, after Zhao Wu fought against Qi, he won a great victory and was extremely discouraged and was extremely discouraged in the face of Fan Yi's selfish desires. In the winter of the same year, on the way back to Jin State, he went to Wen County, Henan to worship his grandfather Zhao Shuai. After that, he spent his dream life like a dying old man, decadently consumed his secular life like a guest in his dream, and soon died with extreme mental depression.

At this time, the entire China is experiencing a severe drought that has not been seen in a thousand years...

At this time, Zhao Wu is now marching on the way back with a lot of conspiracy.
