In order to raise the wood for boat building, Yan Chaogong demolished the main bedroom once, and then rebuilt the column wall with concrete. Although this kind of material from later generations could build a tall building of dozens or even hundreds of meters above the ground, due to restrictions, the previous main bedroom could only be rebuilt as it is. It cannot be one point taller or one foot wide.

There is no wooden attic like the rural earthen umbrella house in later generations. When Xiong Jing looked up, he could see the dark roof under the Si Azhong House at a glance, and the brackets on the concrete columns that were arranged in a staggered manner, thick and strong wooden beams, and dense rafters that supported the roof tiles neatly.

No matter how complex the building is, it seems simple in the eyes of craftsmen; no matter how tall the seal is, it will become a suitable shape under the chisel, and become part of the entire main hall. In Gongshujian's words, this is called regulation; in the words of Taifu Kong Qian, this is called ritual system.

In order to build a main bed, some wood is column, some wood is made of arches, and some wood is turned into beams, purlins, and rafters; in order to build a country, some are kings, some are ministers, and some are slaves of common people. They are harmonious but different, and they are respectful to each other.

When Xiong Jing came to this era and became the king of Chu, he understood this truth more and more: everyone has a fixed position and everyone must perform their duties.

Can you treat wise and humble? Of course not! The result of appointing wise men and guest officials is often to destroy the entire country and disintegrate the feudal organization established with the state. The final appointment of wise men by the State of Qi was the Tian family of Descend Jiang, and the result of Qin was to quickly transform from a feudal state into a bureaucratic state, and finally to destruction under the influence of both internal and external forces.

The development of a country must be the development and growth of the existing organization, which must be derived from endogenous power, rather than the disintegration method under the auspices of wise and guest officials, which relies on organizational decomposition to generate short-term heat.

Can anyone hope? Of course not! Human nature is a corrosion of the organization, just like the wood that builds the main bed becomes moldy in rainy days. The practical thing that emphasizes human nature is the upper rafters on the bottom of the Duzhu, and the liberation of the Duzhu is the beginning of the collapse of the entire building. From the establishment of the main bed, the fate of the Duzhu has been determined. It must support the weight of the entire house so that all the wood, including itself, can shelter the wind and rain.

This seems very unfair, but in fact there is no unfairness. Force and loyalty determine who is a king, who is a minister, who is a commoner, and who is a slave. Things that cannot be won by spears, and want to obtain by mouth is an insult to all warriors and the dead. This means that the former is blood flowing, and the latter is lost in vain.

Of course, this is not cruel. The things won by the spear must be protected by the spear, and the people who use the spear are the ones, so kings and ministers must always restrain their desires and maintain the true nature of warriors.

‘It can be... and...’, this bourgeois best of both worlds can only create a perpetual motion machine that can only be run in dreams. They are born in the common people and cannot imagine or understand the spirit and world of the nobles. If they did not embrace others’ blessings, or had taken the free ride of the strong, reality will soon teach them, or their descendants how to be human.

...

...

Before the left and right returned to the Mingtang of the main hall, Xiong Jing, who looked up at the sky, looked at the roof of the main hall and thought of these things. These were the truths he gradually understood. In order to suppress the urge to get out and get into Qin, he thought of these truths again to calm down and restrain himself. He seemed to say to himself: This is the price of being a king, and he cannot abandon the entire country for a woman.

However, when he thought he had convinced himself, he ignored the environment in which he lived in his first life - a world of Bourgeois universal values ​​that were immersed in Bourgeois values. This world has been absurd so that people tried their best to invite suspects to their homes to facilitate their rape and killing their wives and daughters; or has fallen into the belief that everyone firmly believes in the heart: despicable means victory, and slaughtering all is a hero.

People who grew up in this world themselves contain some degree of indulgence and compassion, as well as more or less calculations and selfishness, and cannot be integrated with the pre-Qin Chu State, which still maintains the aristocratic character.

This is actually what the Grand Tutor Song Yu, Kong Qian, and many old ministers should try their best to correct and carefully teach. A king must abide by the king's etiquette and cannot indulge in temperament and act recklessly like common people and savages. The king abides by the king's etiquette and the ministers should be cautious in the etiquette, and the whole country will be stable.

When the Right Shi returned to his slept, his stomach was filled with such admonitions. However, when he entered the hall, he magically discovered that the king was actually singing. A song sung with a syllable that he had never heard before, the tune was extremely pleasant, but listening carefully was not a very elegant joy, but a melodious sound.

When he was about to give advice, Xiong Jing stopped singing. He blamed him, "Why did you change your clothes for so long? You still have to go to see where you build a boat."

"Which." The Right Shi bowed to the ritual. He and Zuo Shi, who returned to Mingtang first, followed Xiong Jing and went out of the palace to the shipyard at the foot of Zijin Mountain.

"Report to the Empress Dowager, the King is here to the boat building ground." Wang Yin, who entered Ruoying Palace, bowed. He was in charge of the entire palace, and he knew exactly what happened in the main hall.

"Go to the boat farm?" Concubine Zhao was very worried about her son. She just heard that her son summoned the Director of the Zhige Department, Do Not Give Me a rage when she drew her sword. Because there were no temple men and palace maids present at that time, no one could guess what Do Not Give Me to say. What is certain is that the king had previously asked about Empress Dowager Huayang Zu's condition.

Zhao Fei was naturally clear about what his son thought. He agreed to marry Qi Yue because of helplessness. He was indifferent to marrying Princess Zhao Ying Nan. He only had the only Mi Xuan, who had become the concubine of the King of Qin, in his heart. Concubine Zhao was wary of this.

If the king spoils a woman too much, it is not a good thing for the country; if the king has mercy, it will never be repaid. This is vividly reflected in his grandfather, King Zhao Wuling. If his grandfather did not spoil Wu Wa so much, he would not agree to her request before his death: to abolish the eldest son, Gongzizhang, and establish his son, Gongzihe; if his grandfather did not have mercy, he would not pity Gongzizhang, who should have ascended the throne, so that he would have demanded a fief from the prince who had ascended the throne so that the two brothers could rule.

Pampering and pity made my grandfather starved to death in the Dune Palace, and also caused the Zhao royal power to fall into turmoil. Now that Qin wants to destroy Guandong and the whole world, Chu can no longer make the Zhao mistakes.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the King stopped him in anger and restrained himself and returned to courtesy. This is a great good thing." Kong Qian, who was critically ill several times and saved him with Haoma juice several times. He was old and didn't know much about Xiong Jing, so he said so.

"It's not good." Although Song Yu was old, he watched Xiong Jing grow up and knew the king's nature. "The king is good and forbearing, but he wants to be tolerant to the extreme, and then he wants to..."

Song Yu's poems are not meaningful, but fortunately, Concubine Zhao understands his meaning. Concubine Zhao also thinks that it is not a good thing for his son to stop being angry. This time he stops being angry, and then he will be more angry. If he restrains himself, he will be completely crazy.

"I dare to ask the Grand Tutor, what should I do?" Concubine Zhao stood up and bowed to Song Yu and Kong Qiansu.

"A love is difficult to control." Song Yu sighed. He was young and knew how to love men and women. "And my king of Chu has always loved many times, and the king loved Mi Xuan very much, which is not against the norm."

After Song Yu answered, Concubine Zhao looked at Kong Qian again. Kong Qian coughed a few times in a pretentious manner, and then said: "Man is born quiet, which is the nature of heaven; it is moved by things and moving, which is the desire of nature. Things know and then likes and dislikes, and then likes and dislikes are in the form. Likes and dislikes are not in the inner world, and temptations are not in the outer world, and cannot reflect on them. The laws of heaven are destroyed. Things are touching endlessly, but people have no qualities, so things are in the inner world and people have no qualities, so people transform into things. People transform into things, and people transform into things, which means destroying the laws of heaven and losing people's desires. Therefore, they have a rebellious mind and deception, and have lustful and chaotic things..."

Concubine Zhao also read books, and Kong Qian understood what he meant as soon as he opened his mouth. This is "The Book of Music", which tells how to persuade people through rituals and music. "The great tutor thinks that the king should enjoy himself?"

"That's it." Kong Qian's white beard trembled under his jaw, "Music means the movement of the heart; sound means the image of music. The literary rhythm is the decoration of sound. A gentleman moves its roots, enjoys its image, and then cures its decoration. If you want the king to restrain himself, you should perform rituals and music. I think there are few rituals and music in the right silence, so I should return it.

Zheng Yin likes to be lewd, Song Yin Yan's daughter was lewd, Wei Yin went to be irritated, Qi Yin Ao drove arrogance; these four were all lustful and harmed by virtue, so sacrifices were not used. The poem says: "Su Yong and He Ming, the ancestors listened." Solemn and respectful; Yong Yong and He is harmonious..."

Kong Qian valued the effectiveness of rituals and music persuasion, but Concubine Zhao didn't agree. If rituals and music were helpful, how could the world have rituals and music collapse? But with a try-out attitude, she summoned the long-deserted musicians in the palace, found the already dusty Zhongle, and waited for Xiong Jing to return to the palace from the shipyard.

When the generals were on the night sky, the lights were on. When Xiong Jing, who had inspected the shipyard, entered the hall, the underground palace suddenly made a masterpiece.

"Who plays music?" He was furious. He didn't like to listen to lazy and boring Zhongmu, nor did he like to listen to sorrow and joy. Now the underground palace is playing the music of sacrifice.

"Report to the King: Yes, it's the Empress Dowager..." Wang Yinyou said. Concubine Zhao was waiting in Mingtang. When she saw Xiong Jing coming back, she had already stood up.

"I've seen my mother." Xiong Jing bowed to Concubine Zhao. He became a little enlightened and said, "This joy is solemn, it is the sacrificial ceremony, why..."

"The Taifu said that there was no joy in the palace, so my mother and queen returned to him." Concubine Zhao did not explain why she suddenly played music and only carried out the Taifu Kong Qian.
