Confucian self-cultivation: Scholars start from Daqin

Gao Jing said without hesitation: "A benevolent man is moved by emotion, a gentleman understands it with reason, and a villain seeks profit.... If benevolence and virtue cannot convince people, you might as well use fame and fortune to lure them, there will be no disadvantages."

Han Fei was speechless. Uncle Shi's words were too explicit, pointing directly at the essence of the world.

Zhang Liang saluted respectfully: "Liang, you are taught!" 510

"Let's go, the fight is about to start."

Gao Jing waved his arms and said, "Let's go quickly, don't make people wait too long."

The four of them walked towards Zilanxuan.

After a few steps, a burly figure appeared.

Gao Jing laughed and said, "Brother is back? Haha, I didn't miss the Lejia Competition this time."

Dianqing smiled, but there was a look of embarrassment on his face.

Even Yan Lingji could see it, and couldn't help but said: "Brother, what's the matter?"

Dianqing hesitated, but did not speak.

Suddenly, Gao Jing let go of Yan Lingji, and said, "You guys go first, I'll go after I say a few words to my elder brother."

Han Fei and Zhang Liang nodded, saluted and left on their own.

Yan Lingji hesitated for a moment, and left too.

After everyone had left, Gao Jing wiped his face and said, "Brother, what else can we say between you and me?"

Dianqing was stunned for a moment, smiled, and said calmly: "When I was escorting the darts through the Wei Kingdom this time, an old friend found me."

"An old man from Wei State? Who is it?"

"Mr. Xinling."

"……Who?"

Gao Jing was so frightened that he woke up from the wine: "Wei Wuji, Lord Xinling?"

Dian Qing couldn't help but open his mouth, and said with a smile, "It's Lord Xinling, Young Master Wei Wushang."

"Scare me!"

Gao Jing patted his chest, heaved a sigh of relief, and asked in confusion, "Who is this person? Why does it sound familiar?"

Dianqing said: "He is a member of the royal family of Wei, because the king of Wei felt guilty for the death of Mr. Wuji, he adopted him to Wei Wuji, changed his name to Wei Wushang, and named him Lord Xinling.

This time he was the one who came to me, hoping that I could persuade you to join Wei, but I rejected him, and instead hoped that I would introduce him to you. "

Gao Jing touched his chin, thought for a while, and smiled, "Where is he? Let's go see him."

Dianqing felt a little guilty, and said, "People from all over the world have invited you, but you haven't seen him yet, but now you go to see him, will you..."

"Hahaha!"

Gao Jing laughed loudly, patted Dianqing's thick arm, and said, "I don't bother to pay attention to those people, but since it was brought by the elder brother, it is naturally different!"

After a moment of silence, Dianqing said "En".

……

Just in the side hall, Gao Jing saw this Wei Wushang.

He is young, but his bearing is extraordinary.

"I've met Lord Right Prime Minister!" Wei Wushang saluted.

Gao Jing smiled and said, "Where did the right minister come from? Since the elder brother attracted Mr. Wushang, he is Gao Jing's friend. Why don't you abandon your status and have a frank relationship with you (bhdj), how about it?"

Wei Wushang was stunned, subconsciously looking at Dianqing.

Dianqing grinned and nodded.

It seems that even though the right minister is in a high position, he still treats people with sincerity.

Wei Wu secretly praised sadly, and said: "That Wushang is overstepping, I have seen Mr. Gao Jing."

"I've met Mr. Wushang... Please sit down, Mr. Brother, and the elder brother will also sit down."

"Sir please!"

The two sat on their knees next to each other, and Dianqing also sat on the side.

Gao Jing glanced at the xun hanging from the other party's waist, and said, "Your Excellency, how are you doing?"

Xun, a wind instrument made of clay, is as big as a goose egg with six holes and a mouthpiece at the top.

Wei Wushang touched the xun on his waist, and said: "You can't hide it from Mr. Wushang likes to play the xun, so it's hard to get into the elegant hall."

Gao Jing shook his head and said: "The sound of Xun is simple and simple, and it is the sound of earth alone. Among the many instruments, only Xun is the closest to the Taoist sound of nature. You may read more Taoist classics, and it may be beneficial to you."

Surprise appeared in Wei Wushang's eyes: "Xun, how can you do this?"

Dianqing said from the side: "Sir, you have learned a lot, what he said must be good, you might as well give it a try."

Wei Wushang nodded and said, "Thank you sir for your guidance."

"Young master just happened to come, just in time for the Lejia Dabi, and the faint sound of the piano from Nongyu..."

Gao Jing used Xun as an excuse to start chatting with Wei Wushang. The conversation was funny and thought-provoking, and Wei Wushang actually forgot the purpose of this trip for a while.

Wei Wushang didn't react until Yan Lingji knocked on the door, urging the Lejia competition to start soon.

Seeing that Gao Jing was about to get up, Wei Wushang quickly got to the point and said, "Sir, Wushang dares to invite Mr. Wei to assist Wei Guo!"

As soon as these words came out, Dianqing and Yan Lingji fell silent.

The descendants of the royal family, or the ministers of the DPRK and China, from other countries have all stayed in Xinzheng for a long time, all for the purpose of inviting Gao Jing, but they have not been successful.

Wei Wushang's move was not pleasant to say the least, he was a little over his control.

Still too young!

Gao Jing sat back on his knees, thought for a while, looked at Wei Wushang and said, "My lord is indeed loyal to Wei Guo..."

Suddenly, Gao Jing changed his tone and asked, "But I don't know, is the son loyal to the State of Wei, or the King of Wei?"

"This..." Wei Wushang was slightly taken aback, and asked in confusion, "Is there any difference between the two?"

"Of course!"

Gao Jing said solemnly: "If you are loyal to the Wei State, you are a minister of the country; if you are loyal to the King of Wei, you are a minister of the king...

Is the son a minister of the country or a minister of the king? ".

Chapter 130 The disease of learning but not doing

Once, someone gave Zichan a big fish as a gift, and Zichan ordered the petty official in charge of the pond to release it into the water. Unexpectedly, the petty official secretly cooked the fish and ate it. Put the fish back in the water and at first it was a little weak but swam away quickly."

Zichan was convinced, and said with a smile, "It has found where it should go."

Afterwards, the petty official was very proud, and said privately, "Who said Zichan was wise? He didn't even know that I had lied to him."

In response to this matter, Mencius said that it is possible to deceive a gentleman with reasonable means, but it is difficult to deceive him with unreasonable things.

This is the allusion in "Mencius" that "a gentleman can be deceived by his own way, but it is difficult to ignore his way"!

……

After some conversation, Gao Jing was sure that the Wei Wushang in front of him was young and innocent, and he didn't have so many sneaky thoughts in his heart from the "May [-]".

Therefore, it was difficult for Wei Wushang to judge the choice between "the minister of the country" and "the minister of the king".

After thinking for a while, Wei Wushang still asked: "Forgive me, sir, Wushang has never heard of such an analysis before... How can the minister of the country explain it?"

Gao Jing explained: "The minister of the country is determined to protect the country! Outside, so that it will not be humiliated by foreign enemies, and inside, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment!

No matter how others slander me or deceive me, I will only abide by the righteous way. Wealth and honor cannot take away my will, and the king's order cannot make me bend my waist. This is the minister of the country! "

When Wei Wushang heard this, his eyes widened immediately, his blood boiled in his heart, he didn't even need to listen to "the minister of the king", he blurted out directly: "Wu Shang is willing to be the minister of the country!"

"My son is ambitious!"

Gao Jing saluted in admiration, and said: "I heard that although the son is the city of Xinling, the county magistrate of Xinling is a close minister of the king of Wei. You can't interfere with Xinling's affairs?"

Wei Wushang glanced at Dianqing, and laughed at himself, "Wushang is just a consolation from King Wei's guilt!"

Dianqing also had a strange expression on his face, but he didn't tell Gao Jing about it.

Gao Jing smiled, this Mr. Wei Wushang is full of aggrieved, how can someone say it?

"No!"

Gao Jing said solemnly: "Mencius once said that when the heavens will send great tasks to people, they must first suffer from their hearts and minds, exhaust their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and disturb their actions. Benefit what you can't.

The young master is not successful right now, because the weather is not conducive to the young master, the geographical advantage is not conducive to the young master, and the harmony of people is not conducive to the young master! "

Wei Wushang was taken aback: "What do you mean by that, sir?"

Gao Jing explained: "I heard that the current king of Wei is an ignorant king, who regards the son as virtuous as nothing, but appoints treacherous evil, is greedy for wine and sex, and has no ambition to strengthen the country and rejuvenate the country. The king's ambition is still like this, what can the minister do?

This is because the weather is not conducive to the young master! "

Wei Wushang was thoughtful, and said, "The location...?"

Gao Jingdao: "Wei Wuji, Lord Xinling, is wise and loyal, generous and loving, respects the virtuous and respects scholars, the people in Xinling only know that Lord Xinling is Wei Wuji, who knows you, Wei Wushang?"

Wei Wushang's expression suddenly felt a little disappointed: "What you said is very true!"

Gao Jing continued: "Not only is Xinling a place, but the name of Xinling Lord Wei Wuji is being praised all over the world! How does King Wei deal with this? How does the Minister of Chinese and Military Affairs of the Wei Dynasty deal with himself?

How could they watch another Wei Wuji appear?Therefore, harmony between people is not good for the son! "

Wei Wushang looked as if he was mourning for his concubine, and said, "Then what should I do? Please advise, sir!"

Gao Jingdao: "Back then Yuan Xian was in the State of Lu, and the house was leaking and wet, but there were still strings and songs.

Zigong dressed in fine clothes and went to visit him in a carriage with a tall horse. He asked, "What's wrong, sir?"

Yuan Xian replied: "Xian heard it, not having money is called poverty, learning but not being able to do it is called a disease."

The young master is "ill" now, why not retreat for a while, recuperate well, and come back to the mountain after the temple is clear? "

Wei Wushang blinked, a little confused: Who am I?What am I here for?

Gao Jingyu said earnestly: "The law of war says that if the enemy is strong and we are weak, we should temporarily avoid their edge and wait for them to be weak. Temporary retreat is not surrender, let alone weakness!
