Chapter 122: Prime Minister's Night Party (Part II)

Zhang Bingbi really has some opinions, but as for whether it can be regarded as "teaching" Shen Shixing, it is difficult to say.

At this time, Zhang Cheng first sighed, and said very unwillingly: "Originally, according to our family's intentions, it is best not to let him have the opportunity to lead the troops for the treatment of Gao Shishi's son." If it is really the emperor who has a decision on his own, and he can't persuade him, he has to let Gao Pragmatic send troops, then we have to find ways to frustrate Gao Pragmatic. At this time, Yuanfu should not be entangled in the success or failure of tens of thousands of troops, and the safety of three provinces and four towns......

Yuanfu, the so-called big things are not informal. Although our family is not as knowledgeable as you, but in the study has also studied for a few years, even our family can see that what is now fighting between the mind and the practice is not the power of the court, that is just the appearance, what your two factions are really fighting for is the Taoism!

Yuanfu, you are the scholar of the champion prince, can you still not know that Confucius punished the young man? ”

The incident of "Confucius punishing Shaozheng Mao" is only recorded in some historical materials. So some people choose to believe, and some people choose not to believe. After such a long time has passed, and there are no new archaeological discoveries, different people will have different opinions on the authenticity of this matter.

What is the recorded history? It is the "Historical Records. The Family of Confucius": "In the fourteenth year of Dinggong, the fifty-sixth year of Confucius, the great priest Kou took pictures, and there was joy. The doorman said: "When you hear that the gentleman is not afraid of misfortune, he is not happy." Confucius said: "There is also a word." Don't you say, 'Happy to be a noble person'? So Dr. Zhulu rebelled and was less upright. and Wen Guozheng March, porridge lamb porpoise Fu ornament Jia; Men and women are different from Tu; Paint is not forgotten; The guests from all over the world do not ask for a company, they all give it back. ”

But to be honest, this is not a very common record, so whether it is true or not is questionable in the academic community.

However, it doesn't matter.

Why? Because of Confucius's other words and deeds, there are many clear records in historical materials, and the credibility is very high.

Based on these records, it can be inferred that Confucius was a person, and whether the matter of "punishing Shao Zhengmao" is in line with Confucius's consistent words and deeds.

In other words, it doesn't matter whether Confucius really killed Shao Zhengmao in history, what matters is whether he used the method of "gentleman killing" to kill people, and whether Confucius did it or not? Apparently Confucius did it.

It is Confucius's consistent proposition that people with more wisdom and higher insight should teach those who are later aware and make them reasonable, so that they can understand and understand.

But the prophets, if they wish, can also deceive those who are late to the foresight, so that they do what is right in their ignorance, and the truth is basically "you are so stupid that you can't even understand the truth, so you just need to know that it is right to do it, and to do it, and that's enough."

In Confucius's view, Shao Zhengmao is the latter type of person. At that time, Shao Zhengmao's ability to "deceive people" exceeded Confucius's ability to teach people. Confucius said that he couldn't be human, so he used the knife.

It should be noted here that there is still a big difference between the original Confucianism promoted by Confucius and the fake Confucianism that has been circulated in later generations. Just as the fallacy of "repaying grievances with virtue" was once widely circulated in later generations, it is clearly recorded in the "Analects of the Constitution": "Or say: 'Repay grievances with virtue, what is it?'" The son said, "How can you repay virtue?" Repay grievances with straightforwardness and repay virtue with virtue. ’”

misinterpreting Confucius's original meaning, inexplicably turning a Confucius who thinks fairly and clearly into a good gentleman who doesn't know right from wrong, where is Confucius's true style?

Moreover, in reality, "I can't reason with you" is a very common situation, and it is not a strong argument.

For example, your 100-year-old great-grandmother tremblingly asks you to take her to the bank, to punch the coffin book in the passbook to Rome, and insists that in three days you will receive a registered letter from Azeroth from China Post, which contains the ticket for Noah's Ark at the end of the world, which was postponed due to the efforts of the Cthulhu believers, but the ticket is still kept, and it will be gone when it is too late - what do you do at this time? Reasonable?

Your sister's thirteen or fourteen-year-old daughter suddenly cried and shouted that she was going to drop out of school, because she was taken by a talent scout, saying that she had star potential, which was a rare occurrence in a thousand years, so she had to be trained to become a world-class star and become popular all over the world. At this time, whatever the little girl says, she thinks she is jealous of her - what do you do at this time? Reasonable?

The seven-year-old son of Lao Wang next door asked him very seriously, saying that there is a school where he can only play football and not attend classes, because he wants to lead the Chinese team to lift the Hercules Cup, and he will not give up until he reaches his goal - what should you do at this time? Reasonable?

How are you going to convince these people? Even if you have the ability, patience and even time to convince them, how do you stop the scammers from continuing to deceive others?

In Confucius's view, Shao Zhengmao may be such a liar, but he is more clever than the above liars, and he can deceive more people who should have normal intelligence, rather than being limited to the elderly and children.

In Confucius's view, there are not necessarily no other ways to solve the problem of Shaozheng Mao, but those methods may be too time-consuming and laborious, and they are not as simple as killing them directly.

It must be admitted that it is really effective to kill directly, and Shao Zhengmao's words and deeds do not seem to have even a word passed down in the official history. And this also shows to a certain extent that the possibility of Shao Zhengmao's real existence is very high. If it was made up by later generations, then they should also have made up some words and deeds to make the story look more "real", but they didn't.

Killing Shao Zhengmao is an effective means of solving unconventional problems, just as there are always some unspeakable mysterious existences between the Chinese Internet and the American Internet.

At this time, we don't need to care who is right and who is wrong, it doesn't matter, we just need to ask ourselves: What kind of person am I?

This practice may not be very flattering, but it definitely works.

Zhang Bingbi put out the matter of "Confucius punishing Shao Zhengmao", and Shen Shixing immediately understood what he meant: The dispute over Taoism seems to be a dispute over truth, but in the final analysis, the truth is only worthy of being told by the living, and the dead have no ability to argue with you.

As long as the other party becomes a dead person, or at least a dead person in the political sense, then the reason is naturally on its side. As for how the other party died, whether he was stabbed to death with a knife, or killed by a secret arrow, or poisoned by a dose of Heding Red, it is actually no different.

All the mind needs now is a result.

Shen Shixing figured it out, but his face didn't look good. After all, this is far from the so-called gentleman's virtue that he has practiced for many years, and even the opposite of it. His face can really be described as blue and white, but no matter how he changes, he can't escape four words: his face is as heavy as water. 315 Chinese Network

Zhang Cheng, as a mixed eunuch, is of course very solid in his basic skills of observing words and feelings, and he interjected at the right time: "I heard that Gao Shishi returned to Beijing from Annan in the past, and a visitor once asked him if he was worried about being condemned by future generations when he took the initiative to send troops to attack Annan. ”

Shen Shixing's out-of-focus eyes turned back to Zhang Cheng's face, and he subconsciously asked, "Oh? How does Gao Qiuzhen answer? ”

Zhang Cheng said lightly: "Gao pragmatic said: 'History books are written by the victors, so the victors are not condemned. ’”

Shen Shixing was shocked, his eyes were fixed, and he muttered to himself: "History books are written by the victors, so the victors are not condemned...... What a 'winner is not condemned', what a Gao Longwen! ”

By the end of his words, he was close to gritting his teeth.

Zhang Cheng saw that the heat was enough, and said with a slight smile: "Yuanfu, with all due respect, you and Gao Pragmatic talk about the virtue of a gentleman, which is really a bit pedantic. Don't you see how Gao Pragmatic helped Gao Xuan get rid of Zhang Taiyue in the past? After more than ten years of non-existence, Zhang Taiyue's heirs not only did not dare to talk about avenging their father, but instead looked up to their pragmatic snort, in order to stay in the Hanlin Academy or at least stay in the Jingshi? This is what Gao pragmatic calls 'the victor is not condemned' – because the opponent is defeated, no one dares to condemn him. ”

Shen Shixing let out a long breath of turbid air, and said with his head bowed: "What Bingbi said is extremely true, Shi Xing has already understood, and there will be no more hesitation in the future. It's just that this incident has come to an end, and it is useless to just regret it, and it is right to always come up with practical and feasible strategies. ”

"At present, the most important practical strategy is to let Wei Xue suffer the victory of Zhuang Langwei!" Zhang Cheng said resolutely: "Now that the work of the northwest has been decided, there is no way for the gentlemen of Xinxue to fight, and what can be done at the moment is nothing more than to divide this great achievement, and must not let Gao Pragmatic take it personally!" ”

Shen Shixing nodded slightly, but hesitated: "If this is the case, of course, it is the best, but someone in the palace has released a rumor, saying that the Holy One intends to ......."

"Who will let go of such a rumor, Yuanfu naturally knows it, and there is no need for our family to say more." Zhang Cheng's eyes were cold, and he said hatefully: "These two fangs have controlled the ceremonial supervisor and Dongchang for nearly fifteen years, colluding with the inside and outside, colluding with the inside and outside, blinding Shengcong and blocking the advice, that is, Wang Zhen and Liu Jin are not as harmful!" ”

Is this "two fangs" really so bad? Shen Shixing didn't think so, but of course he wouldn't say that, but nodded vigorously: "What Bingbi said is extremely true, but how to break it?" ”

Zhang Cheng said: "In terms of meritorious deeds, although it is finally decided, the functions and powers of the cabinet are particularly heavy, and the cabinet will discuss the merits and crimes first...... Yuan Fu should know that although there are several people in this cabinet, these people may not be the same way. Why didn't Yuanfu think of a way from Xu Yingyang? Let's ask the rewards and punishments of the current dynasty, if the opinions of the Yuan Fu and the Second Fu are consistent, then what is the reason for the rest of the people! ”

When Shen Shixing heard this, he also thought it was reasonable, sighed slightly, and asked: "Xu Yingyang may really be with me in this matter, but Gao Pragmatic and Saint is the only favor, and there is gold and jade to open the way, and there are many people who follow it." I'm only worried that if it gets too excited, these people will follow the example of the great rituals of the past, and they will become a trend. At that time, once the emperor thought of personal friendship......"

Zhang Cheng frowned and pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "This is also a trouble. Thinking that Gao pragmatic will open the way with gold and jade, not to mention the outer court, even the nobles and even the palace, there are many people who have benefited from him, if he wants to throw money to buy this lord, it is impossible to prevent it, and it is even more difficult to stop......"

The two were silent together, and after another moment, Zhang Cheng sighed and spoke: "I remember that before Chongyang last year, Yuanfu had a meeting with Gao Pragmatic and negotiated a lot of things, I wonder if Yuanfu can repeat his old tricks and persuade Gao Pragmatic to let go again?" ”

It's okay not to mention it, but when I mention it, I get angry, and the last time it seemed that the two sides had negotiated, but afterwards I found that I didn't take advantage of it at all. Zhang Cheng suddenly mentioned this stubble, if Shen Shixing didn't know his position, he might even suspect that he deliberately mocked himself for losing his wife and breaking his army.

But then again, the situation is like this, and the momentum of high pragmatism is unstoppable. At this time, relying on strong pressure alone, even if he can persuade Xu Guo, he may not necessarily be able to suppress it, at least it is not very safe, if he really wants to ensure that Gao Pragmatic will not get this reward, the most reliable way is to say that he will take the initiative to give up.

But there is a problem here, Gao Pragmatic can become the fourth Wenchen of the Ming Dynasty, what reason does he have to give up? At least from his perspective of Shen Shixing, if he is highly pragmatic, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve anything in this situation - after all, the title is placed on a civil official, but it is really not a false name.

Shen Shixing had a headache and said his problem, thinking that Zhang Cheng had no good way, but Zhang Cheng had a particularly simple method: "Yuanfu poetry and books are heirlooms, it seems that there is really no one in the family to take care of Jia's cheap business, no wonder there is no way for a while." In fact, this matter is not complicated, it is nothing more than a transaction.

Since it is a sale, of course, there is a bargaining process, and since this transaction is mentioned by Yuan Fu first, then of course, this process cannot be Yuan Fu first to say the number and ask Gao pragmatic whether to sell or not. Now Gao Pragmatic is the seller, and the goods he sells are the title, and he has to let him speak first at what price this thing is worth, no matter how much he asks for the price, Yuanfu only needs to land and repay the money here - there must be a talk first. ”

Shen Shixing agreed with the previous reasoning, but Zhang Cheng's last sentence made Shen Shixing a little apprehensive, and asked: "What if Gao Qiuzhen is a big man and Wang Ba eats the scales and doesn't talk to me?" ”

"That shouldn't be possible." Zhang Cheng shook his head, and under Shen Shixing's puzzled gaze, he said with confidence: "Gao Shixing's son is different from ordinary officials, he is at least half a businessman. What does Motosuke know about businessmen? The point is that everything can be discussed, as long as you can afford it! ”

Shen Shixing suddenly realized, and clapped his hands and said: "Bingbi is really like a torch, this is really to the point." Then he paused, didn't care about Zhang Cheng's triumphant expression, and continued to himself: "Judging from the past events, Gao Pragmatic is really such a person, as long as the price is right, I think he must be willing to sell this title!" ”

"That's right." Zhang Cheng smiled self-containedly, and said with a flickering eye: "You might as well discuss the matter later, Yuanfu will negotiate this matter first." Yuan Fu must remember that he must not only negotiate with Gao Shishi, but also with Xu Yingyang. ”

Shen Shixing smiled slightly: "Bing Pen, Shi Xing is saved, Gao Pragmatic will make great contributions this time, Xu Yingyang's position is becoming more and more precarious, I am a little provoking in it, maybe ......"

"Hahahaha!" Zhang Cheng laughed and said, "Yuanfu is wise, this is exactly what our family intended. ”
