Chapter 2121 Wisdom Wang Zuo

Xun Yu held up the teacup in both hands, took a sip, tasted it, and swallowed it slowly. His gentle eyes passed through the sloping tea fog and looked at Sun Ce.

In an instant, Sun Ce was a little uneasy, as if Xun Yu had seen through the details, and he was uncomfortable all over. He finally suppressed the desire to move his body, but the smile on his face was a little unnatural.

Xun Yu smiled. His smile was very light, with three points of understanding, four points of admiration, and one point of cunning, and two points of loss. "Zhuangzi and Huizi swam on the Haoliang. They have the distinction between fish joy and unhappiness, which is the view of wise people. But the fish joy and unhappiness are the ones who know the most, but fish. The king is extremely smart, encourages the new policy, and takes every step forward, and is trembling. Naturally, he knows the pros and cons of the new policy, so why should I ask me?"

Sun Ce lowered his eyelids, smiling. "Gu originally thought that Xun Jun was a Confucian sage, but later he realized that Xun Jun was a master of the law and was domineering. Now he heard Xun Jun say that Zhuang talks about fish, which is really eye-opening. What knowledge does Xun Jun know? Why not talk about it together to give Gu a long experience?"

Xun Yu smiled slightly and shook his head. "Yu is not Mencius, nor is the King Qi Xuan, why bother with all your heart?"

Sun Ce pondered for a moment and couldn't help laughing. He raised his hand and pointed at Xun Yu, and chuckled, "Although Xun Jun is not as heroic as Mencius, he has the argument of Mencius. A gentle knife hurts even more. Okay, you don't have to use any Spring and Autumn styles. Gu is King Xuan of Qi or King Xuan of Qi, but he is not a saint. He is a lustful and brave man, and he doesn't lack any of them. If Xun Jun made this argument, it would be wrong to say that Gu and Liu Xie are only fifty steps and hundred steps. But in Gu's opinion, there is still a difference between fifty steps and hundred steps. What do you think?"

Faced with Sun Ce's teasing, Xun Yu was slightly embarrassed. He put down his teacup, put away his smile, and bowed solemnly. "The king is so serious, and Yu really dares to compare with King Xuan of Qi. Although Yu is studying, he is not a good person who is good at eloquence. He is inappropriate invocation. Please forgive me."

"I dare not." Sun Ce smiled and bowed back.

Xun Yu bowed again and said slowly: "In the third year of Chuping, Yu left Hebei and went to Chang'an. Meng Emperor refused to abandon him and was given the responsibility of Zhongxing. He imitated the king and imitated the new policy of the king. In the past eight years, there have been gains and losses, which are not worthy of being told by outsiders. However, he has benefited greatly from the King. Today, he is fortunate to meet with the King and thank him first."

After saying that, Xun Yu avoided the seat and gave a respectful salute. "Thank you for your unspeakable teachings."

Sun Ce stared at Xun Yu for a while, left the seat, and politely returned the greeting. "You are polite, you dare not take it."

Xun Yu bowed again and returned to the table. "Although Yu was very careful, he was stupid in his qualifications. He studied the king's politics for several years, but he had nothing to do with his appearance, but he could not find his spirit. The gap between Guandong and Guanxi was getting bigger and bigger, and Yu couldn't understand it. He could only collect the king's decrees and books with all his heart, study them day and night, and had some experience. I am lucky today, so I would like to ask the king for advice."

"Mr. Xun is humble and dare not teach, so please discuss with each other." Sun Ce smiled and added slowly. "Mr. Xun had an appointment with Zhang Xiang in Luoyang. Today, he discussed political affairs. Zhang Xiang and Xun Jun should have a rival. Unfortunately, Zhang Xiang was not here, so he had to replace him. If he was inappropriate, please forgive me."

Xun Yu also laughed. Sun Ce's words were to tease him for overestimating his ability and making a bet with Zhang Hong. Although he was a little frivolous, he no longer kept people from thousands of miles away. It was always a good thing. He did not bother with these details and followed the scheduled plan to go straight to the point.

"Yu followed the king's policies and read the new books written by the king's intentions. He realized that there are three policies of the king. Compared with the human body, he can be said to have a stronger foundation, revitalizing qi and blood, and producing wisdom. Those who strengthen the foundation limit name fields, suppress mergers, open military fields, promote industry and commerce, and store wealth among the people. Those who revitalize qi and blood promote education, build workshops, advocate the four people, harmonize yin and yang, so that all people can maintain their own careers and complement each other. Those who generate wisdom value wise people, build halls, publish discussions, discuss shortcomings and strengths, learn from history, and abandon shortcomings and strengths."

Xun Yu talked freely, although he did not deliberately use gorgeous words, he unnaturally brought out the rhythm and had a momentum. Although Sun Ce was happy to hear it, Xu Jie nodded repeatedly on the side, agreeing that Xun Yu's summary was in place and concise.

"The new policy has been implemented for eight years, and the first five-year plan has been completed. The king's new policy has achieved remarkable achievements. Especially strengthening the foundation and activate qi and blood, it can be regarded as a miraculous effect. Even if Shang Yang rises again, he will be inferior to himself. The way of kings is worse than domineering, and he can be said to be trustworthy."

Sun Ce was unmoved. The front was paving the way, and the back was the key. "Mr. Xun should talk about the shortcomings. What about this wisdom?"

Xun Yu raised his eyebrows lightly, showing a faint smile. "Life wisdom cannot be said to be unsuccessful, but there are some things that have not been completed. If it cannot be solved, he may be unable to achieve success in the future and may even lead to his own fault."

"oh?"

"A few days ago, Yu read the official history draft written by Mr. Yang and Mr. Huang. Suddenly, he gained something. Compared with the king's new policy, he realized that he suddenly became clear and suddenly realized. The stagnation of the past was also unravelled and there was no barrier."

Sun Ce's eyebrows moved lightly and he let out a sigh of relief. He guessed what Xun Yu might say. The authorities were confused, and the bystanders were clear, which was not bad at all. Zhang Hong and the others were busy with complicated official duties, happy with the achievements they had achieved, or confused by his wisdom. Some things were unexpected or hard to say when they thought about them, but now they were discovered by Xun Yu, the bystander, at first glance, which was God's will.

Politics and human hearts have indeed not changed for thousands of years. What he can play is that smart people of this era can play, and they will play better than him. He can only be ahead for a few years, and after these years, he will have no political advantage.

"I hope to hear the details."

"The king really wants to hear it?" Xun Yu was surprised. He asked subconsciously, and then glanced at the boy next to him inadvertently.

"Of course I want to hear it." Sun Ce smiled sly. "If you don't say it, how can I know what you realized? Is it something I need to worry about?"

Xun Yu stared at Sun Ce for a while, said with a slight head, saying word by word: "I dare to ask the king, there is a difference between the four people and all scholars instead of the noble and the humble, the scholars and scholars used to replace the Confucian classics and techniques, and the officials and positions were used to replace the descendants of the generations. What should be used to replace the destiny of heaven? If there is no destiny, the king can certainly be the supreme king because of virtue, how can his descendants inherit the cause of the king?"

Sun Ce looked at Xun Yu with a smile, feeling indescribable. Although Xun Yu's answer was a little different from what he imagined, the meaning was similar. At the end of the implementation of the new policy, there was a fundamental problem that could not be solved: the monarch was hereditary. He claimed that he did not believe in destiny, but without the support of destiny, why should the Sun family be the lord of the world?

This problem is unsolvable, so in the end, it is inevitable to move towards a system where a void king or even simply dismiss the monarch. However, in his position, he naturally did not want to take that step. Just as he advocated equality between men and women, it would inevitably lead to monogamy, but he married so many beautiful women and was reluctant to let go of them. When facing Cai Jue's question, he could only reply with a sentence "I don't want it."

"Please give me advice," Xun Yu asked afterwards.

Zhen Xiang, Xu Jie's face changed. Even Sun Shangxiang realized that this problem was very difficult. She licked her lips nervously and quietly poked Xu Jie with her hands, making her eyes wink, hoping that Xu Jie would come out to rescue her. Xu Jie's face turned red with her forehead, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, but she couldn't say a word.

She never expected Xun Yu to ask this question, but if she thought about it carefully, this question always existed. Although Xun Yu was a wise man in the world, he was not the only wise man. Since Xun Yu could think of it, naturally others could think of it, but he had never asked it like this.

How should I answer this question? She really doesn't know. She can't solve the problem even if she speaks forcibly, and it will only make Xun Yu laugh at Sun Ce. The new policy was implemented by Sun Ce. Sun Ce could not solve this problem, but let a little girl come out to make excuses?

Xu Jie looked at Sun Ce nervously. Now there is only one person who can answer Xun Yu, which is Sun Ce himself.

Looking at Xun Yu, who looked calm but had a bit aggressive eyes, Sun Ce was not nervous at all. He had considered this question a long time ago. Although there was no satisfactory answer, it did not mean that there was no answer. Just as when facing Cai Jue's question, "I don't want it" was the answer.

"Jun Xun is right, this is indeed an unsolved problem."

"How is the king going to solve it?"

“There is no solution yet.”

"Does the king agree? On this point, is the difference between the king's king's way and the Han family's overlord way only a difference between fifty steps and hundreds of steps?"

"If you say that, you will be fine." Sun Ce said slowly: "But Gu just said that there is still a difference between fifty steps and hundreds of steps, and it cannot be seen in the same way. Let Zu Xunqing say that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. No matter how far the goal is, there is always a difference between taking one step and not moving in the same place. What do you think?"

Xun Yu was speechless for a moment and was not easy to answer. He neither expected Sun Ce would admit this question calmly, nor did he expect Sun Ce to respond with this explanation, and quoted the words of his ancestor Xunzi. Is there a difference between fifty steps and hundred steps? In his opinion, there is no, but in Sun Ce's opinion, and if you think about it carefully, Sun Ce's attitude is more pragmatic. Since taking one step is progress, how can there be no difference between fifty steps and hundred steps?

Sun Ce smiled and continued, "Gu's martial arts man, he doesn't read much, so he dare not compare with a wise man like Xun Jun. If Xun Yu is a good horse, then Gu is a slow horse. Although a slow horse cannot jump ten steps, he is reluctant to leave. Gu dares not count on him, nor does he believe that any saint can establish a law for all generations. Gu only believes that things are done by man and move forward step by step is worse than watching in the same place. Xun Jun can see the crux of the new policy and is worthy of being the talent of the king and the assistant. It is better to get up and do it than to sit and discuss the truth. Is Xun Jun interested in developing some strength to solve this crux?"

Xun Yu was stunned. He stared at Sun Ce for a while before suddenly reacting, laughing and crying. He raised this question to negotiate with Sun Ce, but he didn't expect that Sun Ce would take this opportunity to recruit him.

To solve this problem, can this problem be solved?

As if he saw Xun Yu's doubts, Sun Ce's smile became stronger and his voice became gentler, with a bit of temptation. "How can I know if I don't try it? If I can solve this problem, the benefits will be in the present and the future, and how can I say good and merit?"
