Chapter 14 Being a Teacher
"What does Zijing mean?" When Feng Guanzi, who had been planning to wait for a few days, saw Ji Lingjun bringing the book back, he pretended to behave and couldn't help asking each other. The one who gave Xiong Jing was the first volume of "Boxuan" chapter of "Boxuan". Although there were not many words, the meaning was quite profound, and it was difficult for ordinary people to understand the deep meaning. I wonder why Ji Lingjun came back so soon.
"Prince Jing said: It is better to make talents than to choose materials." Ji Lingjun was disappointed. As a prince and a prince, he was not very literate and could not read too rare articles like other princes and ministers. This is not an individual phenomenon. The situations of the countries (except for Qin) are similar. For example, in Wei, half of the more than 500 court officials were not very literate. Wu Guanzi's article was a bit unfamiliar. Ji Lingjun didn't know what he said above, and he didn't quite understand the reason for Xiong Jing's words.
Ji Lingjun didn't quite understand, but Feng Guanzi understood. He heard that 'It's better to cast talents than to choose materials,' and he pondered and said, "How to cast talents?"
"I don't know. Prince Jing didn't say it." Ji Lingjun shook his head. "Is there any of his scrolls? This scroll is not good."
Ji Lingjun has never read the sixty volumes of "The Legend of the Condor" and cannot understand it. He thought that the Condor has not taken out the good article, but he did not know that "Boxuan" is the beginning of the first volume of the sixty volumes, and the whole book is based on this. Fortunately, what Xiong Jing said was only "it is better to cast talents than to choose materials", and it does not deny the idea of "people (talent)-based" in the book, otherwise...
He learned literature and martial arts and sold it to the imperial family. Since Confucius hundreds of years ago, all the sects were waiting for the price. The only exceptions were Zhuang Zhou, who liked to roll mud, and Yang Zhu, Mo Di, who was "no king or father" who loved the world, "no king or father" and although Feng Guanzi was old and had a noble status, he was indomitable in this matter. He stood up and handed the prepared second book to Ji Lingjun, and asked worriedly: "Is there someone else beside Zi Jing?"
Of course, others do not refer to servants, but to scholars from other schools. Ji Lingjun said, "No."
"The Tao has a proof and virtue has a basis. The lord does not hear the key points, so he has no way to see it. The Tao has a tribute and virtue, but there is no way to be destined, and the righteousness is not appropriate, but there is no way to change it. If this is placed, even if it is not stable, it is not stable. If it is up to the position, the name will not be gone. Therefore, those who wish people do not violate their feelings, and those who wish the world will not be confused about their guests..."
The book slip wrapped in brocade silk was placed on Xiong Jing's table the next day. No matter how slow he was, he knew that someone was throwing a stone to ask for directions. Most of the people who threw stones were pretending to be profound everywhere. Xiong Jing did not mean that he looked down on Yu Guanzi. Compared with other scholars, Yu Guanzi was also a versatile talent in civil and military affairs. The commander-in-chief of the Five Kingdoms Columns, and the general of Zhao State Pang Yan was his disciple. In the past, Yangling Jun seized 15 towns beside the river, and he also led his troops to fight with the army.
It was just that the limitations of the times made it difficult for him to outline a more suitable political system for the present, which was also the reason why the six kingdoms were wiped out and the unification of the world was the Legalists rather than Taoism. Besides, Xiong Jing had no intention of becoming the King of Chu to resist Qin with weak Chu. History did not need to be changed. He was so good at making a move, be careful not to be captured by the Qin army and beheaded in Xianyang.
Xiong Jing was thinking about these things, but Ji Lingjun thought it was a good article, which made him think endlessly. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "There should be a skill in governing the country, this is a good method for governing the country. However, I can only choose two of them, and Zi Jing can only choose the rest of the articles myself."
"I am not my eldest son, so why should I know the good skills of governing the country?" Xiong Jing rolled up the book and put it into a brocade bag.
"If you want to be a eldest son, you must know the good skills of governing the country; if you want to know the good skills of governing the country, you must first find a good teacher." Ji Lingjun advised him in succession. "The emperor's ruling is well known to everyone. He must use Xunzi's name to help Zihan become the eldest son. If Zi Jing wants to be a eldest son, he must also become a good teacher."
Xiong Jing thought that Wu Guanzi wanted to be his aide, but he didn't expect that he wanted to be his teacher. He said seriously: "Who is the eldest son, the father and the court officials will agree, how can I fight privately? Whoever I take as my teacher and whom I take as my master, will be determined by the father, otherwise it will be unfilial."
Xiong Jing, who did not want to be involved in the prince's dispute, rejected Ji Lingjun's proposal in the name of "unfilial piety", but unexpectedly he dug a hole for himself - on the same day, the King of Chu summoned Wu Guanzi.
As before, Xiong Yuan, who had barely finished his official duties, changed into a deep dress under the service of his servants. However, he did not move to the small bedroom, but stayed in the main bedroom and looked at the former territory of Chu State and sighed repeatedly.
"Sir, please." Outside the bed, Jiang, the chief servant who had just sent someone from Chunyang Palace, smiled and guided the way for Feng Guanzi.
"The king is in good health?" asked Wu Guanzi.
"The state affairs are heavy, and the king works hard day and night, and his body is still weak even though he is sick. Sir, you must not shock my king." Chang Jiang, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, and after saying that, he bowed heavily to Feng Guanzi.
"Oh——" Zhu Guanzi sighed. There is a secret circulating among the nations, that is, the royal family of Chu has hidden diseases, and the kings of Chu, such as King Wu, King Zhuang, and King Zhao, were all destroyed here. This disease is the most taboo to be very happy. King Dao of Chu, who valued Wu Qi, died because of frequent good news. "Don't worry about the chief magistrate, I will not make the king happy."
"It's so good." Chang Jiang squeezed out some smiles hard, but she couldn't laugh.
"Yu Guan Yesou paid homage to the king." After entering the hall, Yu Guanzi saw the King of Chu and bowed down to salute.
"Sir, please give me a gift, please give me a gift." Xiong Yuan winked at Changjiang while helping me, asking him to stop the turtle Guanzi. After giving me the table, he smiled politely, "Mr. worked hard to compile the "Shan Hai Sutra".
The "Shan Hai Tu Jing" was revised and revised based on the classics. This matter was proposed by Taipu Guanji, and the "Shan Hai Tu Jing" was assisted. Hearing the concern of the King of Chu, the "Shan Hai Tu Jing" bowed and thanked him and replied: "The compilation of the "Shan Hai Tu Jing" is to understand the geography of the world, and the other is to understand the geography of the world. This is the good one. However, ancient books have recorded many domestic affairs and few overseas scenery. Fortunately, Prince Jing can understand the geography of all continents in the world..."
It was clearly talking about the Classic of Mountains and Seas, but unexpectedly, when Wu Guanzi changed his mind, he talked about Xiong Jing. The King of Chu immediately smiled and said, "How can I know the geographical and scenery of the states in the world? This time I asked Mr. I wanted Mr. to be his teacher and the great principles of teaching."
When the King of Chu said the intention of summoning, Feng Guanzi felt very calm, but he did not want to be the prince's teacher, but the prince's teacher. Therefore, he asked directly: "Does the king want to make Prince Jing the eldest son?"
"In the opinion of sir, can you be the eldest son?" The directness of the King of Chu was only stunned, and then threw the question back.
"Prince Jing was born to know that he was intelligent and polite, and made him the blessing of the eldest son, Chu State." Zhu Guanzi's praise was not reserved, and he asked again: "Does the king want to make Prince Jing the eldest son? If he had established it, it would be early."
The pepper slurry came up, and the King of Chu did not answer, but picked up the wine and said, "Sir, please."
The king advised him to drink, but Feng Guanzi had to drink. After drinking, he did not speak, but just waited for the King of Chu to talk about the establishment of the crown prince. Unfortunately, the King of Chu did not talk about this matter, but instead took back the previous topic: "How did Zhu Zi talk about the geography of each state?"
The King of Chu, who had handed over power to the imperial court for twenty-five years, was obviously not a direct person. Wu Guanzi didn't care about this and smiled and said, "The king did not know that this state is not that continent. Prince Jing said that a land that is vast and vast sea surrounded by sea is an continent; a land that is only a thousand miles away, although it is surrounded by sea, it is an island. The state that scholars in the world meant the county and county. Prince Jing said that there are six continents in the world: east, middle, west, south, abolished and cold. All the nations are all in the east of the Central Region, trapped by the sea, grassland, and quicksand."
"Ah! Zhongzhou is so big?" Like Zhaoduan and others, the worldview of the King of Chu also subverted. What he knew before was that all the nations were all the world, and all the barbarians were far away. Unexpectedly, all the nations were only the eastern corner of the six continents in the world.
"That's right." The shangguanzi nodded. "Although this is different from the ancient classics, it is also similar. For example, in Dongzhou, Langya went east to the sea and sailed for a year. Prince Jing said that there were ancient Yin people on this continent, with three grains on it, which were sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, and the yield was several times that of corn. If these three grains were obtained, the Dingkou of Chu State would be twice that of thirty years."
The mountain and sea classics are half gods and half history. The shui Guanzi believed that there was a continent east of the sea. As for whether there were the three valleys mentioned by Xiong Jing..., this was not important at all. What was important was that the King of Chu believed that even if the lies were revealed in the future, it would be irrelevant. At that time, Xiong Jing had already become the king.
"The three grains in Dongzhou are so abundant?" The King of Chu was a little excited. The excitement caused the condition, so he had to press his hand on his chest. Chang Jiang, who was standing next to him, didn't have time to blame Feng Guanzi when he saw this, just wanted to call the doctor immediately. Fortunately, the King of Chu's excitement subsided for a while.
"Yes." Feng Guanzi nodded without hesitation. "The heaven creates all things, and there is nothing strange. The East continent is deserted, and there is no valley in the middle continent. The Yin people miss it and do not understand the art of farming. People in this continent all feed on these three grains. If the production is not abundant, what will the people survive?"
"The East Continent is far away and blocks the sea..." Xiong Yuan also sighed that one day the storm was sighing.
"No. Prince Jing understands the art of boating and oars, and says that with the power of a county, you can cross the East continent and get these three valleys." said Wu Guanzi.
"Really?" There are dozens of counties in the State of Chu. They can afford to win these three valleys with the strength of one county. Xiong Yuan asked suddenly and thought of Xiong Jing's age, and then smiled and said, "You can't believe what Zhu Zi said."
"The king is wrong. Can't the four-wheeled car be trusted? Is the four-hundred-step crossbow not trust?" asked Yu Guanzi. "After moving eastward, our Chu State gradually declined, and Qin State became stronger. Today, the Prince Jing surrendered to our Great Chu. If you don't use it, you will suffer the consequences. Please make sure that the king will make Prince Jing the eldest son as soon as possible."
