There was a burst of applause that was not too warm below, the leaders applauded always very reservedly, the posture was almost the same, the right hand was down, the left hand was on the top, and they patted lightly one by one, Wang Baoyu understood that this was just a habitual etiquette, and it did not show that he was welcome.

The first time he experienced this kind of occasion, Wang Baoyu was really a little nervous, he looked at the lesson plan on the table, it was not too complicated, it was all his own knowledge, compared to drawing a scoop with a gourd.

Wang Baoyu steadied himself and said: "Leaders, I am honored to be able to explain to you one of the oldest books in China, the Book of Changes. The Book of Changes is known as the first of the group classics, and has gone through three versions: Lianshan, Guizang and Zhouyi, and what we are going to talk about today is the only one that has preserved its entirety. ”

The leaders listened very quietly, after all, they are all people with status, and there is no phenomenon of talking to each other for the time being, Wang Baoyu read according to the book, and spoke for nearly half an hour, at the beginning, the leaders still pretended to take notes, and later, there was still a phenomenon of whispering, some simply closed their eyes and dozed off, and even a bald one went out from behind, probably to go to the toilet, but Wang Baoyu found that he never came back.

Although this scene was expected, it still made Wang Baoyu feel a sense of frustration, and if it continued like this, it would be good if half of the people here could be left to listen to the lecture in two hours.

However, one of Wang Baoyu's advantages is that the more frustrated he becomes, this situation often stimulates his fighting spirit, since he has this opportunity to give a lecture to the leaders, then he must speak brilliantly, otherwise, after going back, it is not enough for the landlady to laugh!

Thinking of this, Wang Baoyu knocked on the blackboard, drew six horizontal bars on it, and said loudly: "The Book of Changes is divided into six lines, which are marked as the second, third, fourth, and fifth of the first month, and we talk about the wisdom of leadership, so what is the wisdom of leadership?" In a word, it is to figure out where you are. ”

A hairy young man dared to speak like this in front of the leaders, it was really bold. The leaders below immediately refreshed themselves and pricked up their ears to hear what else he could say below.

Wang Baoyu continued: "Figuratively speaking, the first line represents the lower nine streams in ancient times, the second line represents the common people, the third line represents the grassroots officials, the fourth line represents the senior officials above the fourth grade, and the fifth line represents the emperor, and the sixth line represents the temple. In other words, Siyao is exactly the position of everyone here, and in his words, this position is full of danger, because it is close to the emperor's position, and the king is like a tiger! ”

There was a boo below, Wang Baoyu said this, the department officials still understood this truth, and also knew this statement in the "Book of Changes", but it was still unbelievable to be said so bluntly by a young man.

"So, how can we solve this danger?" Wang Baoyu propped his hands on the podium and asked loudly.

No one spoke up, after all, this is a class, not a seminar. Everyone was waiting for Wang Baoyu to continue, and Wang Baoyu said bluntly: "If you want to remove this risk, the "Book of Changes" says very simply, that is, rely on the three pillars below, based on the masses, and treat the five thrones above, and actively obey the arrangement. ”

But this statement makes the leaders below feel quite regretful, and this needs to be said! The lice on the bald head are obvious, and these are the things that are emphasized in every meeting!

I only heard Wang Baoyu then say in a very positive tone: "What's more important is to calculate the hexagram and measure the good luck!" ”

Wang Baoyu finally broke through the box of Cai Guangde, the principal of the party school, and still turned the topic to fortune-telling, but what he didn't expect was that the leaders who came down were interested and showed interested expressions.

Wang Baoyu didn't care about that, and said directly: "Everyone, what kind of book is "I Ching"? We always put philosophy, wisdom, and so on on for fear that we can't distinguish it from superstition. To put it bluntly, this is a book of fortune-telling, there is no doubt about it. Some people have said that using the book "I Ching" in divination is overkill, and it is also the lowest level of practice, but how many people in the world can penetrate the mysteries inside and run to the top level? Even the old Confucius who explained the "Book of Changes" may not be able to do it, right? So, let's be practical, as for the high-level things, they are realized at home, not what we talked about in today's class! ”

There was a soft laughter from the leaders below, and everyone looked at each other and nodded in acquiescence. Just drinking at noon, plus talking too much, Wang Baoyu felt thirsty, took this opportunity to pick up the teacup on the table and drank it to his heart's content, and the little girl who had just finished drinking the backstage announcement ran out and replaced him with a new cup of tea.

A middle-aged man in a suit and leather with gold-rimmed eyes sitting in the front row raised his hand and said, "Mr. Wang, we want to know about this knowledge, so let it go!" ”

The rest of the people nodded yes, Wang Baoyu saw this situation, his heart was happy, he waved his hand and said: "Leaders, if the Book of Changes is a book of wisdom, then its wisdom lies in communicating the nature of the universe through divination, getting hints, and on the basis of this hint, knowing the fortune of oneself, according to one's position, and then making trade-offs. Otherwise, we don't even know where we are, so how do we know what to do next? ”

You can say that again! A leader took the lead in applauding, and the people below applauded, this time with opposing hands, full of enthusiasm. Wang Baoyu came to the spirit, he simply threw the lesson plan aside, and said it openly.

"The sixty-four hexagrams of the Book of Changes, in fact, are the sixty-four keys to open the natural mysteries of the universe, I don't know that easy is not enough to be an official, for example, if you measure the dry for the sky, then you must understand that you must strive for self-improvement; If you measure Kun as the earth, then you have to be virtuous and tolerant; If you can measure the mountain wind Gu, it means that you should pay attention to the style problem and prevent the occurrence of corruption; If you measure Lei Ze's sister, it means that you are going to have a little lover, so you have to hide it, otherwise it will be a big trouble for both the leader and the wife to catch it. Wang Baoyu boldly explained.

Immediately there was a burst of laughter, followed by a round of applause, and the atmosphere of the subject was immediately lively. Wang Baoyu didn't do anything, he proposed: "Leaders, it's just such a boring class, presumably everyone is difficult to be interested, since we get together, everyone can talk freely, if you don't understand, you can ask questions, we can discuss with each other." ”
