Tracing China: Through history, dialogue between ancient and modern

Chapter 159

spring and autumn.

Dialogue in Linzi Shrine, the capital of Qi.

Lin Feng said, "Mr. Qi, in your old age, you favored villains, did not practice government affairs, and were greedy for pleasure, which caused chaos in Qi and lost the opportunity to unify Kyushu."

"what……"

Duke Huan of Qi exclaimed, took two steps back, and said excitedly, "Impossible, how can a widow favor a villain?"

Lin Feng said truthfully, "In your later years, you favored three people—Yi Ya, Shu Diao, and Kai Fang; especially Yi Ya, a famous chef, actually let you eat human flesh in order to satisfy your appetite."

Yi Ya is a famous chef of a generation, and is honored as the originator of chefs by later generations. Naturally, his cooking skills are quite superb, and he has won the trust and appreciation of Duke Huan.

However, no matter how good the meal is, there are times when you get tired of it.

Once, Qi Huangong accidentally said that after eating all the delicacies in the world, there is only human meat left.

The speaker had no intention, but the listener had intentions. That night, Yi Ya steamed his son and offered it to his master, which moved Duke Huan to the point of "I can't do it" and thought that Yi Ya "loved the widow more than he loved his son".

Guan Zhong didn't think so, saying that Yi Ya's actions were not in line with human feelings, because "the human feelings do not love the son. The son bears it, why is it the king?"

As soon as this word comes out.

Even Bailu felt nauseated.

Duke Huan of Qi had a sullen face, clenched his fists, and asked word by word, "Where are the other two villains? What did they do?"

The second villain is Shu Diao. In order to enter the palace to serve Duke Huan of Qi, he did it himself and became a eunuch. Duke Huan thought this was treating him loyally.It was Guan Zhong again, who pointedly pointed out that "Human feelings are not more important than the body. You can bear it with yourself. What is the difference with the king?"

Using self-destruction to please the king is not in line with common sense, and it is difficult for him to love others.

The third villain is Kaifang, the son of the state of Wei. Duke Huan believed that he "goes to the prince of Qiancheng, and he is a minister to the widow, and he is lucky with the love of the widow. Parents die without going to the funeral. It is no doubt that he loves the widow more than his parents. carry on."

It was still Guan Zhong, who analyzed deeply: "There is no human relationship with your parents, and your parents will tolerate it. What is better than the king?"

Besides, who would not be tempted by the seal of a thousand-cargo great country?But Kaifang Leng gave up these things and came here to make friends with you, because his desire is far beyond the level of the prince of Wei.The king must never get close to such a person, otherwise, he will suffer from it.

After listening to this.

Duke Huan of Qi kept shaking his head and retorted, "Even if the widow is confused in his later years, he is not so stupid."

Lin Feng said, "At the beginning, Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya advised you that you alienated the villain."

But later Guan Zhong died of illness, and the upright Bao Shuya also died of illness one after another. No one gave Huan Gong any advice.

After leaving the three villains, Duke Huan felt that life was very inconvenient, he couldn't eat well, and he couldn't play well, so he restored the posts of the three men and asked them to wait around.The decline of Qi State thus planted the root of disaster.

"The three villains in the district have a humble status, and it is impossible to deceive the country and society that the widow has worked so hard to build."

Duke Huan of Qi continued to refute, and there was some truth in his words.

Lin Feng explained again, "The villain is in power, which has triggered a drastic change in the "five sons vying for the position", leading to the decline of Qi."

Duke Huan of Qi asked, "What do you mean by "five sons competing for the throne?" ""

After Duke Huan of Qi died, none of his five sons cared about their father's life or death. They only knew how to fight for power and kill each other.

As a result, Duke Huan of Qi's body was left in the Shou Palace for several days and was full of maggots, but no one buried him.

There is such a record in "Historical Records":

When Duke Huan fell ill, the five sons each established their own faction and fought to establish themselves.When Huan Gong died, they attacked each other, because the Forbidden City was hollow, so no one dared to coffin.Huan Gong's corpse lay on the bed for six or seven days, and the corpse insects came out of the house.December Yihai.There is no reason to stand, but to go to the coffin.Xin Siye, hold the funeral.

Some modern brick homes.

It is always said that Duke Huan of Qi died in the palace for 67 days, and no one collected his body yet.

Please.

This is the ancient history of China, how dare you use Arabic numerals to calculate it?
The so-called "six or seven days" is not 67 days at all, but six or seven days.

"Five...unfilial sons?" Duke Huan of Qi's eyes were cold and murderous.

He raised his hand and almost gave an order to cut off all his sons.

but.

Those unfilial sons of his are probably still infants!

Standing there, Duke Huan of Qi sighed helplessly,
In any case, the overlord of a generation has come to such an end, people can't help but sigh, the success or failure of right and wrong is turned around.

Just now.

Guan Zhong appeared.

This China's number one good prime minister is not very old, and judging by his appearance, he is about the same age as Lin Feng.

Less than thirty.

There is a strong scholarly and Confucian aura on his face.

As soon as Guan Zhong appeared, the modern viewers who watched the show immediately became clamorous, sending out barrages one after another:
"This teacher of saints looks so young!"

"As old as me, he is already a good-looking person who is under one person and above ten thousand people. He is more popular than others!"

"There are some geniuses that are not comparable to ordinary mortals like me."

"Don't be envious. In fact, before Guan Zhong became famous, his personal experience was not good. He failed to do business with Bao Shuya in order to make a living. He was considered a lowly businessman at the time. When he was a soldier, he fled. He wanted to be an official several times, but failed did not succeed."

"Guan Zhong said that even if it's salted fish, I want to be the saltiest one, so I succeeded in the end."

"Fuck, Guan Zhong said that the truth never said such a thing."

……

"Sir, please refer to the lord." Guan Zhong performed the ancient emperor's etiquette.

"Father Zhong!"

Duke Huan of Qi seemed distraught. He was hit hard by Lin Feng's words just now, and he still hasn't been able to recover.

"My lord, this Feng is the magi you mentioned once in a thousand years?" Guan Zhong asked.

Lin Feng was the first to speak, and said, "The junior, Lin Feng, has traveled through time and space since 800 years later, to meet Senior Guanzi."

"tube?"

Guan Zhong was a little confused, he asked himself, he didn't seem to have this nickname, did he?
"People of later generations?" Guan Zhong stared at Lin Feng, and said again, "Feng, did you speak big words and mess up the lord?"

At this time, Duke Huan of Qi was like a statue, with a blank expression on his head, like a puppet walking dead.

"Senior Guanzi, this is a gift from the younger generation." Lin Feng said.

The white deer at the side naturally handed over another book "Guanzi" carefully.

"Why do you call me Senior Guan Zi?" Guan Zhong asked.

"Because this is the greatest respect that juniors have for you." Lin Feng said truthfully. Many people don't know that apart from Laozi, Confucius, Mencius, Han Feizi and other ancient sages, Guan Zhong, the most good prime minister, is also honored as "Guanzi".

These saints from thousands of years ago.

Why bring a "son" title?

Some people say that this means that they have high moral character, have made great contributions to the contemporary era, and their personal achievements are comparable to those of Zhou Tianzi, so they have the honorary title of "Zi".

Simply nonsense.

In the eyes of the ancients, how can you, as a scholar, compare to the generation of Zhou Tianzi?

During the Spring and Autumn Period, although the Emperor Zhou had declined, his influence in this ancient oriental land was still enormous.

You are you.

A minister is a minister.

If the sages and sages who are scholars can stand up to the supreme ruler Zhou Tianzi, will the world be in chaos soon?
There is no distinction between superiority and inferiority, and the rulers at that time could not tolerate it every minute!
Therefore, modern people will have great deviations when looking at ancient problems with modern eyes.

What it really means is:

"Zi" is the respectful title for people with high status and cultivation in ancient times. The highest is of course "Son of Heaven". Only the Son of Heaven can be the king of a country. It evolved into a respectful title for people with profound morals, and later gentlemen gradually increased.

In order to distinguish, the ancients added the surname before "gentleman", and then shortened it.

Then there was the later "Lao Tzu" - according to legend, Lao Tzu's original surname was Li, so why not call it "Li Zi"?It is said that it is because his morality is so high that it is almost comparable to the "Son of Heaven". If he has never been a king, he cannot be called "Son of Heaven", so he has to be called "Lao Tzu", that is, "Son of Lao Yang". It can be said to be the legend of "the first son in the world" and so on!

Besides.

The surname Zi comes from the surname given to Shang Zu by Xia Yu, and the name Zi is extended to an honorary title, which means noble blood.

It is somewhat similar to the titles awarded by the West for Wenzhiwugong, except that the titles are awarded by the royal family in the West, and the titles awarded by the people for the most sages in the East.Because the ancestors of Confucius were the nobles of the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty was the empress of Shang.

This time and space that Lin Feng traced back.

Duke Huan of Qi had not yet claimed hegemony, and belonged to the early Spring and Autumn Period. At this time, the great saints were just born.

There is no such thing as a "son" at all.

Guan Zhong felt bewildered, which made sense.

"Father Zhong, listen to the widow..." Qi Huangong's face was tangled, and he roughly summed up the conversation with Lin Feng just now. After listening, Guan Zhong fell into deep thought and couldn't help asking:

"What you said to the lord, is everything true?"

Lin Feng replied, "It's true."

Guan Zhong still didn't believe it, so he asked again, "Since you are from a later life, tell me, what is Ben's relative opinion?"

Lin Feng said calmly, "Senior, your diplomatic proposition is mainly to unfurl the banner of "respecting the king and fighting against the barbarians", and as the head of the princes, coerce the emperor to attack disrespect."

First, there was the Spring and Autumn period of "holding the emperor to defeat disrespect", and then there was the "narrow emperor to order the princes" of the Three Kingdoms.

All in all, Cao Cao, the hero, still learned from the decrees that Guan Zhong used thousands of years ago.

Why is Zhuge Liang's "internal affairs" ability so good?Part of the reason is to learn from Guan Zhong.

Guan Zhong nodded, but asked, "Then tell me, what are the mistakes in the economic system?"

No success.

Only wrong.

It was obviously to test Lin Feng. After all, the people in Qi didn't know about his political achievements.
Lin Feng didn't think too much, and said directly, "Senior, there is indeed one aspect of the economic system you created, which has poisoned China for thousands of years."

Guan Zhong became nervous and asked, "What is it?"

Lin Feng read it word by word, "Prostitute... prostitute... system... degree..."

Upon hearing this.

The audience will be happy.

Many people are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and quickly hit the barrage-I am not in harmony with gambling and drugs.

As for the word "yellow", you guys didn't mention a word?

In the lens.

Guan Zhong asked back, "Feng, tell me in detail why a decree on the "prostitution system" is a big mistake of the truth?"

Lin Feng, "..."

Isn't that obvious?
Do you want me to say it in front of the modern national audience?
