"The old man is Wang Yue. The young prince is coming in person. The old man cannot welcome you from far away, so I would like to invite Haihan." Wang Yue did not show any disrespect because of Xiao Wei's young age, and bowed back politely.
Personal etiquette is the style of a Confucian master.
How to salute is a matter of course. Although Wang Yue's salute is simple to perform, it contains a lot of great articles. With Xiao Wei's understanding, he immediately realized the meaning of it - although Xiao Wei
Although Wang Yue is young, he is a child of the royal family. Even though Wang Yue is the observer of Yanxi, in a sense of justice, when he sees Xiao Wei's face, he should only see Xiao Wei as a subordinate. However, Wang Yue claims to be old and decrepit.
Tell Xiao Wei that Wang Yue's meeting with Xiao Wei is just a private meeting and does not involve anything else, let alone an official meeting.
Xiao Wei didn't care at all whether it was an official meeting or not. If he could "force" Wang Yue out, it would be considered a big victory. If he could take the opportunity to "touch" Wang Yue's bottom, it would be even more beautiful.
It's a matter of one thing. Therefore, although Wang Yue set limits in his words with good intentions, Xiao Wei didn't care at all. He bowed with a smile and said: "Xiao Wang has heard of Mr. Wang's name for a long time, and has also paid homage to Mr. Wang.
The old gentleman's famous work "Shuo Lun" is a pity because of fate. Today, I can ask for help in person. I am very happy when I am a late scholar who is afraid of it."
"You're welcome, young prince. Please come with me." Wang Yue was not moved by Xiao Wei's humility and flattery at all. He just nodded lightly, flicked his sleeves, and didn't care what Xiao Wei's reaction was.
As soon as he turned around, he strode towards the back hall.[
Huh? What's this old man up to? Xiao Wei didn't expect that Wang Yue would leave right away. For a moment, he really didn't understand what Wang Yue wanted to do. He was stunned for a moment, but he still walked a few steps quickly and followed Wang Yue.
Behind him, he walked through the hall and courtyard, talking all the way to the back garden of the Quiet Man.
"My young prince, please take a seat." Wang Yue walked silently into the pavilion facing the water in the back garden. Then he turned around, glanced at Xiao Wei who was standing with a smile, and waved his hand to signal Xiao Wei to take a seat.
Ha, it seems that this old man has already made arrangements! Xiao Wei only glanced at the situation in the pavilion and immediately discovered something strange - the furnishings in the pavilion were very simple, with two tables on a small table.
There was only a jade bowl, and a small stove was burning brightly next to the table. There was a pot of tea that had just boiled on it. Apart from that, there were only two straw futons separated by the table. Obviously,
Mr. Wang had prepared a private meeting with Xiao Wei in advance. In this case, Xiao Wei did not show any more politeness. He smiled slightly, apologized, and then sat on the futon, pretending to be attentive.
shape.
Wang Yue didn't speak in a hurry, he calmly picked up the teapot on the small stove, filled the two jade bowls, and then silently made a gesture of invitation, ignoring Xiao Wei's thank you and minding his own business.
He picked up the jade bowl from the ground and drank lightly. After a long time, he sighed softly and said, "How are you doing now, Master?"
Huh? This old man knows Old Master Shu? Xiao Wei didn't expect that Wang Yue would ask such a question, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then bowed slightly and said: "Mr. Wang, I'd like to ask, my master is going to celebrate the new year
Everything is fine before leaving Beijing."
Wang Yue's eyes suddenly became profound, and he let out a long breath and said: "Decades have passed, and when I think about the scene of my night talks with Brother Shu, it seems that I am right in front of my eyes, and the situation is also changing. My brother has been depressed all his life, so to have a successor like the young prince, I think he is quite proud."
Xiao Wei didn't know much about what happened between Mr. Shu and Wang Yue. Hearing what Wang Yue said at this time, it seemed that he and Mr. Shu had a deep friendship. However, they seemed to be different from each other. He felt something in his heart. If he understood something, it was delicious. Zhongke said humbly: "Young people like Xiao Wang and Pu Liu really don't deserve such praise from Mr. Wang."
Wang Yue did not say any more about this topic. He smiled faintly and said, "My young prince is here, what can I say to you?"
"The mother-in-law only said that the young king should say hello to the old people in Yanxi and explain it to others." Xiao Wei himself didn't understand what his mother had in mind. When Wang Yue asked about it, he didn't dare to talk nonsense. Answered honestly.
"Oh." Wang Yue nodded with a smile and said, "When your grandpa was young, there was no son of any powerful person in the land of Yanxi who was not beaten by your grandson. The young prince behaved like his grandson."
Sweat! My dear, my mother was a troubled girl back then, eldest sister. No wonder I was messing around in the capital, but I didn’t even say a word of blame. Ha, it turns out this is hereditary. Hey, interesting, interesting! Xiao When Wei heard this, he felt very happy, but there was a trace of shame on his face as he said: "Xiao Wang is so young, I make Mr. Wang laugh, I am ashamed, I am ashamed."
Wang Yue laughed heartily and said: "This is the true nature of love. We do things with shame, so why should we stick to worldly views? The sage has said that wherever the heart goes, the righteousness will go. Is this true? "
"Good, but righteousness can be divided into great righteousness and small righteousness. If you abandon the great righteousness for the small righteousness, it is not what a saint would do. What does Mr. Wang think?" Xiao Wei didn't want to have the right to speak always held by Wang Yue. This time Wang Yue mentioned righteousness. , immediately seized the opportunity keenly, picked out the topic, and started his planned "finding out" plan.
Wang Yue had previously listened to the debate between Xiao Wei and his eldest son, and had long known that Xiao Wei was very sharp in his words. Now seeing Xiao Wei start to turn his back on the guests, he didn't find it strange at all. He smiled slightly and asked: "Yi Xiao Wangye." In my opinion, what is a great righteousness and what is a small righteousness?”
Little did he know that Wang Yue's rhetorical question played right into Xiao Wei's heart, so he straightened his back and said loudly: "The great righteousness lies in the survival of the country, the survival of the nation, and the well-being of the people. Apart from this, They are all small righteousness. How can the honor and disgrace of a family and a surname be equated with each other? The ancient Zichan said: To benefit the country, life and death, this is where sincerity and righteousness lie. Although Xiao Wang is unworthy, he really dare not or forget it. Mr. Wang Do you think so, sir?"
Seeing Xiao Wei's impassioned attitude, Wang Yue smiled, stretched out his hand to stroke the long beard on his chest, and said unhurriedly: "The country's country's country is not unique to one family. In the past, Yao and Shun replaced each other. The prosperous age is a great success, what do you think, young prince?"
Confucianism is not good at this point. It can be explained by the left and right. There are many contradictions within it. On the one hand, it is preached that "anything in the world is the king's land, and on the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers"; on the other hand, On the one hand, they strongly believe in the theory that Yao and Shun replaced each other and the virtuous came to the top. As for which theory is accurate, it depends on the attitude of each person. Things that everyone takes what they need often happen. This kind of contradiction is contradictory. Since the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism, people from all sides have argued and argued, but they have never been able to come to a conclusion. Wang Yue brought out the theory of Yao and Shun, and it was resolved quietly. The murderous intention hidden in Xiao Wei's words.
Ha, this damn old man is really difficult to deal with! Xiao Wei raised such a topic to insinuate that the Wang family supports warlord separatism, which is not what a gentleman should do. If Wang Yue defends this matter, Xiao Wei will naturally have a way to put Wang Yue into trouble.
He was introduced into the trap, but Wang Yue knocked him out so lightly. Naturally, the ambush behind him was useless. However, since Xiao Wei dared to provoke an argument in front of such a great scholar as Wang Yue, he was naturally well prepared.
Feeling frightened, he laughed and said: "It is true. However, according to Xiao Wang's opinion, the replacement of Yao and Shun was based on the people, and the replacement was for the people. If this is the intention, it is just a person who pursues fame and fortune.
Don’t you think it’s better to draw a tiger than to resemble a dog?”
Although Wang Yue already had a high opinion of Xiao Wei, he never expected that Xiao Wei's Ci skills would be so good. He was even more surprised that Xiao Wei was so open-minded. He also didn't expect that Xiao Wei was from such a noble family.
People who have not realized the suffering of the people can actually care about the common people. For a moment, his mind was taken away. Fu Jing Fubo's face finally showed a trace of dignity. After being silent for a long time, he said cautiously: "What a foothold."
The point is the people, Wang has been taught, but he doesn’t know what the people are what the young prince said?” [
Seeing that Wang Yue had taken the bait, Xiao Wei did not dare to neglect him. He took a deep breath and said loudly: "The Yasheng has a saying: the people are the most valuable, the country is the second most important, and the king is the least. Xunzi also said: Water carries the water.
The boat will be overturned by the water. It has never been like this throughout the ages. Those who follow the will of the people will prosper, and those who go against the will of the people will perish. Today, the world is divided into several parts, and the people are suffering from "chaos". Looking forward to unification is like looking forward to sweet rain. This is the will of the people. Who can follow this will of the people?
, will be prosperous. If you go against it, you will perish. Now Yanxi is facing a great disaster. If you only seek to protect yourself, you may not be able to protect yourself. Don’t Mr. Wang know that if the nest is overturned, how can there be any eggs left intact?"
As soon as Xiao Wei said these words, Wang Yue did not dare to look at him as a child with a yellow mouth anymore. He remained silent for a long time with a solemn expression, and then he muttered and said: "The young prince has lofty ambitions, but he is old and decrepit."
It’s not as shameful as it is, but if you talk about the great disaster in Yanxi, you may not stop talking about it?”
Is there any difficulty in Yanxi? You don’t know? Hey, I just think that no matter who takes over Yanxi, they can’t do without the help of your Wang family. Ha, what’s the point of being so cautious? It seems that I
It would be impossible without completely exposing the matter! Xiao Wei's mind was spinning very fast, and he had already seen through Wang Yue's secret in his heart within a few breaths, but he was not in a hurry to expose it, but said straightly: "Yanxi is the throat of the business world.
, it is supposed to be the key point of trade and the barrier of our Central Plains. It holds the land of eight states and holds hundreds of thousands of strong troops, which can be said to be powerful. However, it is in the land of four battles and surrounded by enemies. If we don't unite as one, how can we do it?
To ensure peace, the three-year disaster in Yanxi has already damaged the vitality. If there is "chaos" inside, it will be a disaster. Looking around, the Turks' horses and Tubo soldiers are all powerful enemies. However,
According to Xiao Wang, both of these are minor troubles and are not worth worrying about. However, the Black Bone Sect is a serious trouble that is close to my heart in Yanxi. If we don’t find a way to get rid of it early, the people of Yanxi will perish!”
"Oh? How do you say this?" Wang Yue, as a big boss in Yanxi, is well aware of the situation around Yanxi. In his opinion, although there are many Turkic soldiers, they are generally a mob and are not enough to cause trouble. The same is true for Tubo.
, but the threat from the court is greater. As for the Black Bone Religion, Wang Yue really doesn’t like it very much. Although the Black Bone Religion has developed rapidly in the west in recent years, many grassland tribes have believed in the religion, but in
On the Yanxi side, the Black Bone Sect is strictly guarded against, and they are not allowed to preach within the territory at all. In Wang Yue's view, these scattered followers are nothing more than a nuisance, not a serious problem.
But Xiao Wei actually regarded the Black Bone Sect as the enemy of Yanxi, and Wang Yue was puzzled.
The fish was hooked! Upon hearing Wang Yue's question, Xiao Wei curled up his mouth and felt secretly happy. However, he did not rush to answer Wang Yue's question. Instead, he took the time to pick up the tea bowl and sipped lightly, feeling calm and relaxed.
