It's easy for people to lose sight of themselves, or to put themselves in the wrong position.

or arrogant, or arrogant.

can recognize the premise that he always makes the most favorable choice, although the words of his cronies are ugly, Dai Cong has to admit it.

Now, I don't even have the qualifications to be a lackey.

The strategy of change is now clearly laid out in front of him, and Dai Cong understands that he, the chief of the Inquiry Yuan, may want to install a few of his own people, and he needs to mediate with all parties before it is possible.

His own disciples follow him, not to share life and death with him, but to use this as a ladder to climb up.

If it weren't for the fact that Sishang didn't listen to rhetoric, but used the exam as a way of selection, I am afraid that these doormen would have run to Sishang a long time ago, where would they stay here?

Dai Cong understands that now Sishang and the hundred schools of thought except Confucianism are united, even if the Mo family is not a person, just the talents in the hundred schools of thought are enough to support the official government affairs of the entire Song State.

His own strength is too weak, the Mo family didn't take him seriously, he was just a statue of a god that no one sacrificed to him, just thinking that breaking this statue might pierce his hand and not wanting to break it for the time being.

The previous anger stemmed from the usurpation of the power of his dream in the strategy given by the Mo family.

Today's sobriety stems from the fact that he understands that his strength is not enough to support such a high level of power.

Whether it is talent, ideas, wealth or military power, it is inferior.

He, the senior Yin of the Inquiry Yuan, is even a pick-up, and he may be kicked down at any time.

The cronie who had mocked him before asked, "If Childe really understands, he should not be angry, but should plan for the future." ”

"Anger can't solve the problem, if you have an army of 100,000 gold and silver, then your anger can make the Mo family ambush 100,000. But you don't, so your anger has no use other than incompetent abuse. ”

"Does Childe want to vent his anger? Do you want to die for this anger? ”

Dai Cong was silent, shook his head and said, "I don't want to." Also ask. ”

The guest took the strategy for changing the law and building the country and said: "What Gongzi saw was that the Mo family cut your power, so that what you got did not match what you wanted. ”

"And what I see is...... As long as the Mo family does not interfere, you are the only one who can be accepted by all schools of thought. ”

Dai Cong read the strategy again and again, puzzled by its meaning, and asked, "What should I do?" ”

The doorman said, "Do nothing." Pretend to do everything. ”

Dai Cong was puzzled, he didn't understand what it meant to do nothing and pretend to do everything, and he didn't understand why he, who didn't seem to be even a lackey, could become the chief Yin of the Inquiry Yuan accepted by all parties.

The doorman smiled: "Childe thinks that the big debate in Sishang four years ago is what he was doing? ”

Dai Cong said: "The Mo family has formed a good alliance with each family in order to seek the strength of everyone? ”

The doorman shook his head and said: "Childe is wrong, the big debate in Sishang four years ago was to tell the world: some things can be recognized by the world without controversy, and some things can never be solved by arguments." ”

"After that big debate four years ago, the Mohists were still Mohists, peasants were still peasants, Taoists were still Taoists, Confucians were still Confucianists."

"The difference is that perhaps the Dao, Mo, Yang, and Nong all agree that the earth is round, that the earth revolves around the sun, that the qi we breathe can be weighed, and that the light of the sun is a ...... of seven colors."

However, if everything is truly synonymous with each other, how can there be a distinction between Confucianism, Taoism, and Moyang? After all, there are still places where it is impossible to be synonymous, and no one can convince anyone. ”

"Four years ago, if a hundred schools of thought had returned to ink, then there would be no today. Four years ago, we couldn't be in harmony with each other, but can we do it today? ”

Dai Cong seemed to understand, and said repeatedly: "You mean...... You mean...... Surviving in the cracks? ”

The doorman smiled: "Childe, when the emperor's father Yue Ling was the great Yin, why was it difficult to pass the government system? Not only the people don't obey, but also the aristocratic doctors? ”

He asked himself and replied: "Because the imperial father Yue Ling wants to do things." And what he wants to do, it will harm the interests of each family. ”

"If there was only the Gentlemen's Court and no Commoners' Court, if everything was in accordance with the rules of the election and did not use the sword soldiers, in fact, this time the Imperial Father Yue Ling would have failed. The person who the aristocratic doctor wants to be Da Yin is a person who doesn't want to do things, can't do things, doesn't want to do things, and doesn't dare to do things. ”

Dai Cong laughed and said: "What is the Inquiry Yuan Yin who doesn't want to do things, can't do things, don't want to do things, and don't dare to do things?" ”

The doorman said: "Then I will consult the political Yuan." ”

"Childe, you have to be clear, do you want to do what the real Da Yin should do? Or do you want to be a member of the Counseling Yuan? ”

Dai Cong didn't think about it and said: "Naturally, I want to do what the real Inquiry Yuan Dayin should do." ”

The doorman laughed and said, "That boy can't do anything, not even consult the political Yuan's big yin." ”

"Does Childe have more soldiers than the Mo family? Does Childe have more money than the Mo family? Is Gongzi more able to say the righteousness of the people of the world than the Mo family? Childe doesn't have anything, so why should he get things done? ”

"If Gongzi orders that each township will collect taxes to return to the center, does Gongzi think that the township of the hundred ruling families will pay the tax?"

Dai Cong said: "There are also counties and townships in Sishang, but they don't pay taxes to the center if they don't see them. ”

The doorman smiled bitterly: "There are counties and townships in Sishang, not to mention the organization and synonym of the Mo family, there are 50,000 heroes in the hands of the Yan Zhishi, and there is the world's best workshop industrial and commercial wealth, so they don't pay taxes in the center if they don't see their salaries." ”

"However, Gongzi doesn't have these things, so why does Gongzi want to regard this Song State's Inquiry Yuan Dayin as a Mo family giant in Sishang?"

"Si Shang and Shang are synonymous, and Song Guo can make the top and bottom have the same righteousness, what is it? Now that hundreds of families are in power in different townships, and the hundred schools are still not synonymous, how can the entire Song Kingdom be synonymous? ”

If you jump out of the times, there is actually a meaning that can make the Song Kingdom the same, that is, the simplest two words.

Song.

The Song State of the Song people.

It can be enough to make the Song people cry out with emotion just by mentioning the two words Song Guo.

However, at this time, there can't be, and it is not allowed, and even if there is no foundation, even if Dai Cong racks his brains, it is impossible to come up with a righteousness that can make the whole Song Kingdom the same.

Is the Song Kingdom still the Song Kingdom?

Of course, the Song State is still the Song State, and it is the most retro Song State, retro to the nominal Song State when the feudal system was divided into separate countries.

The center has no ability to move the local township, let alone jurisdiction, just like the nobles who went their own way and raised troops from time to time to abolish the Duke of Song.

It can even be more similar to the era of Zhou Tianzi, who had a total of fourteen divisions of the West Sixth Division and the Yin Eighth Division, and these advantages of force ensured that the place could only revolve but abide by the rules, and it was none other than Zhou Tianzi who had the West Sixth Division and the Yin Eighth Division, but the Sishang Mo family next to it.

The doorman wanted to tell Dai Cong that in the past, the emperor's father Yue Ling could be the chief Yin of the Inquiry Yuan, because the emperor's father was the strongest.

At that time, the Mo family was still in its infancy, and it was really weak, so they supported the imperial father's family as the great Yin of the Inquiry Yuan, in order to make the rest of the nobles of the entire Song Kingdom unite against the imperial father's family and provide space for the Mo family to move around.

And now, you Dai Cong can be the Great Yin of the Inquiry Yuan, it is because you are the weakest compared to the Hundred Schools of Zhuzi and the Mo family behind you.

The Mo family is already strong, and they no longer need to put a catfish in the fish pond to stir up, all they need is a pool of ponds with a steady but surging undercurrent.

Dai Cong seemed to understand, but he still didn't seem to understand enough, and sighed: "As you said, I'm not as good as a lackey?" ”

The doorman was not taboo, and nodded directly: "Yes, didn't you say it just now?" Childe himself thinks that he is not qualified to be a lackey, so what Childe has to do is to find a way to be a good lackey. ”

At this time, the lackey was not a curse, and Dai Cong asked rhetorically: "I want to be a lackey, what should I do?" ”

The doorman said: "A good lackey needs to know what the master wants and understands the master's mind, only in this way can he stand out in a large group of dogs and become a dog that is valued and will not be killed in the summer sacrifice." ”

Dai Cong laughed and said: "I worked as hard as I promised, and I didn't hesitate to live my family, just to be a lackey?" ”

The doorman said solemnly: "No, Childe is not qualified to be a lackey now." Some people want to be lackeys but can't, and the son still has a long way to go before he can be a good lackey. ”

"If you want to be a lackey, you must understand what your owner wants, and only in this way can you be a good lackey."

"If the master wants to go east and go west, then it is not far from making meat at the summer festival."

Dai Cong said: "I don't want to be a lackey. ”

The doorman said: "We are fleas and lice on the lackeys, not the hair on the dogs." When the dog dies, the hair will be scalded off by hot water and die together; The dog is dead, but the flea lice can find another dog. What the flea lice are looking for is a lackey, a lackey who can make meat without dying in the summer sacrifice. ”

"If the skin does not exist, the hair will be attached."

"There is no flea in the skin, and the fleas are attached elsewhere."

"Childe's family is Mao, and Childe's doorman is a flea, and Childe needs to be able to distinguish it."

"If Childe doesn't want to be a lackey, I'm afraid that few people will continue to stay. The son is kind and righteous, but there are few guests who respect kindness and righteousness; Childe is rich and wealthy, and there are many customers who want to obtain the benefits of wealth. ”

"If there is no benefit, everyone will be scattered, and the son will want to be a lackey at that time."

"So please be a lackey."

Dai Cong half-tilted his head and smiled bitterly for a long time, only to feel that he could not find a different expression to express his emotions at this time except for laughing.

He was angry at the cunning rabbit and the dead lackey, but this anger was meaningless, because he was not qualified to be a lackey.

He dreamed of being an elected prince for his lifelong reign when the people were boiling, but this dream was shattered into reality by the dark night just as soon as it began.

What he planned and planned, in the end, was just to be a lackey, and now his lackey is not qualified, and he still needs to work hard?

With a wry smile, Dai Cong asked in a weak tone as if he had collapsed: "If you want to be a lackey, how do you know what the master wants to go?" ”

The doorman picked up the strategy again and said, "It's all here." Si Shangyan said that looking at the essence through the phenomenon, the above words are all appearances, and if you want to be a good lackey, you must see through the essence. ”

"Seeing through the essence, the best lackey is to do nothing."

Dai Cong asked rhetorically: "Do nothing? ”

The doorman laughed and said, "Those who do nothing may not be cured." There is a promising, but you have to pretend to be inactive, so you need a person who can't do anything in front of you. The son does nothing, and the Mo family is secretly promising; The son is not governed, and the Mo family is secretly governed; It is the old son who does nothing and does not govern, and Song will govern; Song Dazhi originated from Si Shangwei's rule, but the credit goes to Gongzi Wuwei. Sishang does not seek fame, only profit; If the son wants to seek profit, he can only seek fame first. ”

"Hundreds of schools of government, each holding on to its own word, the choice of the center, and refusing to let it, both unwilling to let each other, then the son is the best candidate. It is not the favorite of the hundred schools, but it is the least opposed by the hundred schools. ”

"In a few years, Song Dazhi, the name of Gongzi Wuwei will be spread in the Song Sijing, and then Gongzi can be famous. Since the people are the gods, then fame is the most important thing, better than the sword and the dead. Moreover, with the Mo family, there is no internal fighting in the Song Dynasty, and if the son wants to succeed, he will first become the name of Wuwei Dazhi. ”

Dai Congqi said: "A hundred schools of government, how can you give me the credit?" “

The doorman said: "Thousands of people have a thousand righteousness, and a hundred people have a hundred righteousness." Righteousness is profit, the benefits of hundreds of thousands of people are different, the more you do, the more credit, the more wrong, the most resentment. The righteousness of a hundred schools of thought conflicts with each other, and it is necessary to attack each other. “

"Childe doesn't need to be the one with the most credit, he only needs to be the one with the least infamy."
