In 328 BC, King Xian of Zhou was 41 years old, King Qi Wei was 29 years old, Song Junyan was 1 year old, and Zhuangzi was 42 years old. Bayi Middle School? Wenwang ? ≈≤．

This year! Zhang Yi entered the Qin State, became the prime minister of Qin, and assisted King Huiwen of Qin.

This year! Mencius left Qi and came to Song, where he defected to Song Yanjun, the new king of Song. He wanted to promote his Confucianism in the Song Kingdom and show his talents. In the country of Qi! He can only lecture in the Jixia School Palace, because he has been played by Chun Yuji, he has no face in the Qi country. So! I learned that Song Yanjun was a "virtuous" king, so I came here on purpose.

At that time, Song Yan had not yet been called king immediately, and was still called king.

After Song Yan drove away his brother Song Jue to become a king, he also learned from other kings to recruit talents from all over the world. Due to the backwardness of information transmission during the Warring States period, so! There are many people who don't know what kind of person Song Yan is, thinking that he is a virtuous king, and they have defected to him, wanting to show their ambitions in life.

For those who came to defect, Song Yan would pretend to receive them and talk with them about major events in the world and good ways to govern the country. Those who know how to pat sycophants, everything follows his train of thought and talks nonsense, and they can generally be rewarded by Song Yan. Those who are upright-tempered are generally not rewarded, and are simply ignored after a conversation.

A great talent like Mencius, after arriving in the Song Kingdom, was generally not in a hurry to show himself, and was secretly observing to see what kind of person Song Yan was.

After Mencius and others came to the Song Kingdom, most of them went to various parts of the Song Kingdom to conduct field investigations after receiving their names and receiving rewards. Then he came back to negotiate with Song Yan and put forward his own political ideas.

This year! Not only Mencius came, but also representatives of the hundred schools of thought came. Thereinto! There are farmhouses.

Afterward! Song Yan listened to the opinions of the representative figures of the peasant family and gave them a piece of land to practice there.

In a word! Song Yan, who had just taken over the king of the Song Kingdom, looked like a human being, and everything was still like that.

Seeing that Song Yan seemed to be a Ming monarch, many people came to ask Zhuangzi and asked him to go to the capital as well to see if Song Yan could reuse him?

There are also former Taoist protectors who come to the door and ask Zhuangzi to come out.

Zhuangzi once swore an oath to Song Quecheng, but now that Song Quecheng is gone, the oath is invalid. So! You can come out and be an official.

To know! The arrival of the Song Kingdom relied on the lacquer garden model. Right now! Under Song Yan's new policy, the lacquer garden model was basically abolished. So! Those who once accepted the ideas of Taoism hoped that Zhuangzi would become a leader and persuade Song Yan to re-follow the Taoist line.

Song Yan treated him like this, where did Zhuangzi dare to contact Song Yan?

People have taken back your fiefdom, and they don't treat you as a human being at all, and you still persuade people that you are not going to die?

Song Yan may listen to you on the surface and stabilize you, and then! I'll kill you if I find a chance, a reason. Or! Just ignore you! Or! Kill you directly, and then say it's manslaughter.

Life is precious, so what's the use of killing you by mistake and rehabilitating you? There's no way to get your life back.

So! Zhuangzi would never go to the capital and ask Song Yan to ask for an official.

There is no shortage of gold and silver in his family, but there is no way to take out gold and silver and spend it.

As for saving the people, Zhuangzi no longer expects to use power and state institutions to promote Taoist ideas. Now he is thinking about how to teach those who are willing to accept the ideas of Taoism how to survive in troubled times.

Because! Society is made up of individual people.

We can't promote Taoism from the perspective of society and the state, so let's promote it from individual people!

If you are willing to accept Taoist teachings, I will teach you to survive in this troubled world. Those who are unwilling to accept the ideas of Taoism can be tossed as they want. If you don't die, you won't, this kind of people are willing to toss and die, and they are willing to die happily for a while, and you can't stop them if you don't let them die.

There was a man who visited Song Yan and was rewarded with ten carts, and when he passed by the door of Zhuangzi's house, he boasted to Zhuangzi. It is said that Zhuangzi has a false name, otherwise? Why don't you go to the capital Song Yanjun to be an official?

"Look! I just put forward my opinion to Song Jun, and Song Jun gave me ten cars. ”

Looking at the person in front of him who was rushing to the market, and looking at the carriage that Song Yan had rewarded, Zhuangzi couldn't help but worry about this person.

With Song Yan's character, how could he reward you with a carriage so easily? Could it be that Song Yan drank too much wine that day, and rewarded the carriage in a daze?

If that's the case? When he sobers up from his wine, or remembers the incident, he will inevitably claim his "reward" back.

Joke! What is the concept of ten carriages? The military importance of the carriage is conceivable.

It must be this guy who took advantage of Song Yan's drinking too much to pat Ma Jing and say something nice, and as soon as Song Yan was happy, he rewarded the carriage.

Zhuangzi said sympathetically: "There is a poor family living by the river, and they usually make a living by weaving reed mats. His son dives into the abyss and gets a jewel worth a thousand gold.

The father said to his son, 'Bring me a stone!' Smash this orb! Don't leave any traces. Joke! Such a valuable orb must be the dragon ball under the jaw of the black dragon at the bottom of the pool, you can easily get the orb, you must be catching up with the black dragon to fall asleep. If the black dragon wakes up, do you still want to live? ’

Now the sinister of the Song Kingdom is far worse than the bottom of this hidden black dragon. And Song Jun's means are far worse than those of the black dragon. If you can get ten carriages from Song Jun, you must have met Song Jun falling asleep. Once Song Jun wakes up, you will definitely be crushed."

"Cut! Do you compare me to your son? I was kind enough to persuade you to become an official, but you said that about me? You're not just talking about me, huh? You're also talking about Song Jun! What happened to Song Jun? What means does Song Jun have? ……”

Zhuangzi interrupted: "You go!" I have good intentions to persuade you! No malice! Don't frame me! Frame me! Good no good? ”

"Who are you? You're jealous of me, aren't you? That's what you said, right? I know! You were a man of no name. Otherwise? Why don't you dare to go to the capital to meet Song Jun in person? I'm telling you! I'm not alone! Most of the talented and virtuous people went and were rewarded by Song Jun, why did Song Jun fall asleep? ”

Zhuangzi saw that this person was entangled, and he ignored the other party. Seeing that the other party was not leaving, he had to stand up and clean up, take everything he had woven straw shoes back to the yard, and close the courtyard door.

This is not? In order to pretend to be than! Every morning, he puts the stall of weaving straw shoes at the door, so that the people who rush to the market can see, how many pairs of straw shoes are sold?

Under this person's shouting, many people who don't know the truth came around to watch the excitement.

Zhuangzi didn't want to be watched like this, so he had to close the courtyard gate.

Afterward! Zhuangzi thought: Maybe? This person was specially arranged by Song Yan to ridicule him. Song Yan! There is such a change, revenge for the hatred of the year.
