Chapter 127: Outer Circle and Inner Square
(I'm sorry, but the last chapter was not well written due to a rush.) So the second half of the previous chapter has been reworked a lot. Please go back to the previous chapter and then read this chapter again. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience caused. When I dreamed of returning to my hometown, I bowed and pleaded guilty. )
After listening to Liu Ruye's brief introduction, Ji Ning was a little speechless, didn't he say that it was an Oiran celebration banquet? How do you discuss the big proposition of governing the world?
For this kind of big proposition of governing the country, how dare he casually put his beak in it.
Therefore, he said sloppily: "Ji thinks everyone is reasonable, and it's good to compromise and take care of both?" ”
"Vulgar opinion!" As soon as Ji Ning's voice fell, Wu Bei immediately lashed out loudly.
Zhang Linwu also said: "Ji Gongzi, your so-called compromise, the people outside also think so. Compromise in everything, without your own clear opinions, without your own edges and corners, most of the people in the world are like this, if you say something good, it is called tactful, and if you say something bad, it is mediocre! ”
Finally seized the opportunity, of course he wanted to take the opportunity to suppress Ji Ning and destroy Ji Ning's beautiful image in Liu Ruyi's eyes.
"Hehe, Zhang Gongzi," Qin Feng also said out loud, "Actually, there is nothing wrong with Ji Gongzi, after all, many people think so." ”
On the surface, he exonerated Ji Ning, but actually labeled Ji Ning as vulgar.
As for the others, they all shook their heads, and they all shook their heads, and they didn't agree with Ji Ning's compromise of compromise.
Liu Ru also frowned slightly, and also felt that Ji Ning had no opinion of his own.
However, she still looked at Ji Ning and said, "Ji Gongzi, you must have a reason for saying that, right?" ”
This is an opportunity for Ji Ning to defend himself.
Everyone's reaction, Ji Ning saw it in his eyes, and understood that he couldn't be sloppy if he wanted to.
I saw him smile calmly, unhurriedly take out a money bag, and then take out a copper plate from the money bag, pinch the copper plate with his thumb and forefinger and lift it up.
"Everybody has seen this copper plate." Ji Ning motioned to the copper plate and said loudly, "This seemingly ordinary copper plate, in fact, it contains a big truth. ”
"The external shape of the copper plate is characterized by a circle on the outside and a square on the inside. The outer circle means sleek, paying attention to the method and taking into account human feelings, which is conducive to the harmony between people; The inner side represents the principle and the rules. ”
"A copper plate can be passed down all over the world, from ancient times to the present. In the same way, a person who is round on the outside and square on the inside can go all over the world without anyone rejecting him. ”
When everyone listened, they couldn't help but nod their heads in unison, feeling that Ji Ning's idea of using copper plates as a metaphor was very novel and reasonable.
Liu Ru couldn't help but brighten his eyes.
Although Qin Feng, Wu Bei and Zhang Linwu wanted to refute Ji Ning's words, they couldn't catch the flaws and could only continue to listen.
I saw Ji Ning continue: "The country is made up of people, so to govern the world is to govern people. By extension, the copper plate theory also works. ”
"Ridiculous!" Zhang Linwu immediately refuted, thinking that he had caught Ji Ning's big flaw, "In your opinion, governing the world is also outside the circle and inside the square." Why is it that today's national governance method and the national policy that people agree on are just the opposite of what you said about the outer circle and the inner square?! Do you think that the national policies that are being implemented today are all wrong? Should it be the other way around?! ”
"Zhang Gongzi is right!" Wu Bei immediately helped, "Just a copper plate cast by people wants to describe the world, it's really ridiculous and ridiculous!" ”
Liu Ru and everyone also felt that Ji Ning's conclusion was just the opposite, and his foothold was obviously unstable.
"Hahaha......" Ji Ning suddenly laughed loudly, his eyes swept over Zheng Lin Wu and Wu Bei sarcastically.
Zhang Linwu said coldly: "What are you laughing at? ”
Ji Ning laughed out loud and said with a light smile: "Zhang Gongzi is really straightforward, Ji Mou didn't finish speaking, you refuted it." As for someone, hehe, he's just a flame follower. ”
"Ji Ning, you make your words clear! Who are the flame-prone followers?! Wu Bei shouted, "Your so-called copper plate theory itself is extremely absurd, is it true that if Zhang Gongzi opposes it, I, Wu, can't oppose it?" Everyone here opposes your fallacy, is it true that everyone is a fan of the flames?! ”
His last sentence was very vicious, and he directly hated Ji Ning from the audience.
It's a pity that Ji Ning was not fooled, and directly ignored Wu Bei, and said to Zhang Linwu loudly: "The Book of Changes says; 'No, it's a lot. 'The pole yin is yang, and the pole yang is yin. People make up nations, and nations have thousands of people, and there are new births all the time. People, as far as the country is concerned, can be described as an extreme number. Therefore, 'no pole Tailai', governing the country should be outside the outside and inside the circle! ”
"You!" Zhang Linwu screamed angrily.
Obviously, the conclusion is just the opposite, and the sentence 'no pole Tailai' becomes correct. Can it be less shameless?
Ji Ning continued: "The outer side represents the penal law, and the inner circle represents benevolence, righteousness and morality. Therefore, Ji said that to govern the world, benevolence, righteousness, morality and punishment laws are taken into account. This is also the golden mean that the sages adher. ”
"Good! Good! Good! As soon as Ji Ning's voice fell, everyone couldn't help but be conquered by Ji Ning's wonderful and novel insights, and let out a warm applause and cheers.
Liu Ru couldn't help but applaud, she didn't expect Ji Ning to be so talented.
She knew very well that Ji Ning hadn't listened to the discussion on governing the world at all just now, let alone thought about it carefully. However, in the cynicism of Qin Feng, Wu Bei and Zhang Linwu, they thought of such a subtle and novel copper plate theory, which must be done only if there is a gap in their hearts on weekdays.
After everyone's cheers fell, Ji Ning didn't want to let Zhang Linwu go, lest he think that he was a bully.
I only heard him deliberately ask Zhang Linwu: "I don't know why Zhang Gongzi thinks Ji's views are vulgar?" ”
"You, you ......" Zhang Linwu blushed, and he hated it in his heart.
However, in front of everyone's eyes, he made Gongzi have to maintain his demeanor, so he could only admit his mistake to Ji Ning and apologize: "Hehe, I was reckless, and I easily came to a conclusion without waiting for Ji Gongzi to finish speaking." Sorry, sorry. ”
After speaking, he arched his hand to Ji Ning.
"Hehe, it's easy to say." Ji Ning smiled lightly.
……
……
The feast lasted until mid-hour.
After getting off the painting boat, on the dock, almost all the distinguished guests who had been arranged on the third floor of the top floor just now said goodbye to Ji Ning one by one.
Qin Feng, Wu Bei and Zhang Linwu saw it in their eyes and secretly hated it.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Ji Ning was also ready to get into the carriage and go home.
At this moment, a shadow hurriedly ran down from the painting boat and walked to Ji Ning.
"Ji Gongzi, this is a letter from my young lady to you. Please accept it. Xiao Juan respectfully presented the letter to Ji Ning.
Ji Ning was slightly surprised, bowed his head, took the letter down, and said, "Thank you." ”
"The slave and maid are gone." Xiao Juan finished saluting, took two steps back, and then turned around and returned to the painting boat.
And this scene happened to be seen by Qin Feng, Wu Bei and Zhang Linwu. They couldn't help but be jealous.
"This Ji Ning didn't spend a single word from beginning to end, and even that poem was not written for Liu Rushi! He rubbed a feast in vain, not to mention, and got an extra letter from Liu Ru is cheap maid! ”
"Damn! Hateful! ”
Zhang Linwu was so angry that he punched the carriage.
