Secretary Lu heard Ye Ming say that if he couldn't answer the question, he would be willing to drink two glasses of wine. He was very satisfied with his confidence. He nodded slightly and said, "Okay, let's start now. Sima Guang is compiling "Zi Zhitong" When reading "Jiang Jian", he often made his own evaluation of some historical events or characters for the reference of the emperor who read the book. Many of these evaluations were classic quotes, with three words added at the beginning: "Chen Guang Yan" ', meaning 'Wei Chen Sima Guang thinks', my question is: at the beginning of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", what theme is discussed in the first paragraph of "Chen Guang Yan"? Can you recite the most classic one? A few words?"
Ye Ming had read "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" twice and was very interested in some of Sima Guang's views in it. Therefore, this question naturally did not trouble him. Moreover, he guessed that it would not be difficult for Secretary Lu to answer this question himself. The purpose of this question is also to teach Secretary Li, Xia Bicheng, and Xu Lizhong who are here to teach them what a gentleman is and what a villain is.
So, he talked eloquently: "Secretary Lu, this is a conclusion about the relationship between virtue and talent that Sima Guang came to after summarizing the lessons of Zhibo's defeat in the late Spring and Autumn Period. He said: Those who have both virtue and talent are called A saint is a fool if he has both virtue and talent. A gentleman is a man whose virtue exceeds talent. A villain is a man whose talent surpasses virtue. When selecting and employing people, if you cannot get a saint or a gentleman, you would rather use a fool than a villain. Fool A person with low IQ and low ability cannot make any big waves even if he does evil; while a villain has talent but no virtue, so he takes advantage of his talent to do evil, and his intelligence is enough to make his evil plans succeed. The prodigal son of the family has more than enough talent but not enough virtue, so there are many subversives. This is Sima Guang's "View of Virtue and Talent": focusing not only on "talent", but more on "virtue", and respecting virtuous saints and gentlemen. , despising villains who are talented but without virtue. When talking about the point of view of preferring fools to villains, he also used a very vivid metaphor. The original text is this: "Although a fool wants to do evil, wisdom If you can't circumvent, you can't win with strength, it's like a sucking dog that attacks a person, and the person can control it. The villain's wisdom is enough to carry out his treachery, and his courage is enough to defeat his violence. He is a tiger with wings, and he can do a lot of harm.' Meaning That is: a fool who wants to harm people, but lacks the ability, is like a suckling dog that wants to bite people, and the person who is bitten can easily subdue it; but a villain who is very capable, but wants to harm people, is like a puppy with wings. Evil tigers are very harmful to people,"
Secretary Lu listened to him explain this passage very clearly, and he recited a paragraph of the original text without hesitation. He couldn't help but nodded frequently, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said earnestly: "Xiaoye's views on Sima Guang's virtue and talent in this paragraph Very thorough explanation. Comrades, Sima Guang’s words have a great enlightenment effect on how we, the leading cadres, choose and employ people. When we reach the level of leaders, there are not a few people around us. Among these people, I estimate that saints are rare, but there must be many gentlemen and sages, and there must be many fools and villains. Therefore, we must have the ability to discern every detail, have a pair of piercing eyes like Sun Wukong, and always pay attention to the distinction. Who are gentlemen and wise men, and who are fools and villains? And those villains are often very capable people. They are usually good at pretending, opportunistic, and good at currying favor with leaders. But these are often the Villains who are very capable but have poor moral character are the most harmful to our cause.
Take Wang Mang, the most notorious villain in history, as an example. This ambitious and conspirator tried his best to please Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty and Empress Dowager Xiaoyuan before usurping the throne. When the time was not ripe, although he was in a high position, he never
Respect yourself, always be courteous to virtuous people, be honest and frugal, and always treat yourself well
He distributed his salary to his retainers and common people, and even sold his carriages to help the poor. He was deeply loved by the people, so much so that celebrities from both the government and the public praised him. In order to gain a good reputation for being fair and selfless, he even forced two of himself to make mistakes.
His son Wang Huo and Wang Yu committed suicide, causing him to commit suicide.
His wife was so sad that she cried blindly. She was such a hypocritical villain. After the death of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, she immediately turned against her son-in-law and poisoned her son-in-law, Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty. She also used some auspicious signs and prophecies to instigate others to support her as emperor.
He established a short-lived new dynasty and ruined the Western Han Dynasty.
And triggered the Green Forest and Red Eyebrow Uprising, which caused the world to be in turmoil for more than ten years, causing thousands of people to be displaced and their families to be destroyed. Therefore, the harm of villains is very huge. We must always be vigilant and everywhere
Be careful, never let a villain get his way, never let a villain take power,"
When he said this, he looked at Ye Ming, smiled slightly and said: "Xiaoye, I want to test you again: There was a great poet in the Tang Dynasty who had a few vivid descriptions of Wang Mang's hypocrisy. This poet was
Who, what is the title of the poem, and what is the full text of the poem,"
As soon as this question came out, although Secretary Li and Xia Bicheng knew a few of the lines, they couldn't figure out who wrote it and what the original poem was, so they all turned to Ye Ming to see if he could answer the question.
Come up.
Ye Ming thought for a moment and then answered confidently: "Secretary Lu, that poem should have been written by Bai Juyi. The title seems to be "Fangyan". The whole poem has eight lines: "I will give you a way to eliminate doubts. No need to drill into turtles."
With Zhu Ping, the jade test will take three days to complete
, It will take seven years to identify the material. The Duke of Zhou is afraid of the rumor. Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp it. Xiangshi died that year. Who knows the authenticity of his life? The last four sentences are very famous. I think Secretary Li,
Director Xia and other leaders should know,"
Xia Bicheng nodded and said with admiration: "Xiaoye, I heard Xu Fei say that you are knowledgeable and have a very strong memory. You have a very wide range of knowledge and an amazing memory. I didn't believe it at the time. But now it seems that you are indeed extraordinary."
Just, for example, in the poem just now, I only know the last four lines, and I don’t know that there are four more unfamiliar lines in front of it. It seems that the local tax system of your K city praises you as the number one talented person in the system. It is not
Such kind words,”
Xia Chuchu, who was sitting on the right side of Ye Ming, saw that her sweetheart responded fluently when facing the Provincial Party Committee Secretary's examination, and even received admiration from her father. She couldn't help but feel proud and happy, staring at Ye Ming closely.
That cheerful face made me feel as happy as a fairy.
As for Secretary Lu, the purpose of taking the exam for Ye Ming was firstly to verify whether he had real talent and practical knowledge, and on the other hand, he also wanted his precious son to show his skills in front of Secretary Li, Xia Bicheng and others, so as to satisfy his own needs.
Pride.
Therefore, after listening to Xia Bicheng's words of praise for Ye Ming, he showed a proud and satisfied smile on his face, drank another half glass of wine, and began to think about a more difficult question to test Ye Ming. If he also
If the answer comes out, then I should be even more happy.
