When he saw Lu Su's expression changed, Zhou Yu finally couldn't help it.
Putting aside Lu Su's talent, we just looked at the affinity between the two. Somehow, Zhou Yu always felt as if he had a deep bond with Lu Su in his previous life.
Therefore, Zhou Yu was quite unwilling to see Lin Zhe come to "steal people"!
He clasped his fists, looked humble, and then asked:
"Xian Yun once said that in these troubled times, princes have arisen together and have different thoughts. I dare to ask..."
"Why are we in such troubled times?"
"Um?"
"Why are we in this...chaotic world?"
Lin Zhe murmured in a low voice, and then couldn't help but frown. He was really not sure about Zhou Yu's purpose in asking this question.
Dong Zhuo led his troops to Beijing, seeking to dethrone the emperor and confuse the government. This is a matter known to everyone in the world.
There is a high probability that Zhou Yu will not be stupid enough to ask an answer that everyone knows.
Then the purpose of his asking this question is worth pondering!
Seeing Lin Zhe thinking, no one interrupted her. Even Lu Lingqi silently put down her chopsticks and knelt down beside him quietly. She didn't even dare to exhale loudly for fear of affecting Lin Zhe's train of thought.
Lin Zhe thought for a long time and finally spoke.
"Since the Shang and Zhou Dynasties..."
"The chaos in the world is caused by nothing more than the emperor, the ministers, and the people!"
"If the king is wise and the ministers are wise, there will naturally be many gentlemen and few scoundrels in the court. If the superiors and subordinates follow the example, the people will have no worries."
"If you are a king, you have your subjects in mind, if you are a minister, you have the king and the people in your mind, and if you are a people, you have the country in mind. If you have all three, if there is no internal chaos and stability is maintained, then the world will be stable!"
"If the ruler is ignorant and his ministers are virtuous, it is like a branch that is thick and withered. Yi Yin deposed the emperor in the past, and Huo Guang usurped the government later. This is the same principle. The people's survival and dependence, whether they are in trouble, or whether they live and work in peace and contentment, are all tied to the body of the ministers.
In the long run, the way of the ruler and his ministers will lead to disaster."
"On the other hand, if the king is cowardly and his ministers are treacherous, then the factions in the court will attack and the local princes will have different ideas, then the disaster is not far away and we will only survive!"
Lin Zhe was not sure what Zhou Yu wanted to do, so his answer was impartial and very wise.
After listening to Lin Zhe's words, Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes showed a look of solemnity. Even he did not expect that Lin Zhe would answer like this.
"What Xian Yun said is indeed the foundation of national prosperity..."
Zhou Yu picked up the wine glass on the table, first raised it to Lin Zhe, and then drank it in one gulp. He sighed and said: "The king is like a boat, the ministers are like rudders, and the people are like oars. The king, the ministers, and the people are all three."
Both are indispensable, and only in this way can it be prosperous and prosperous from ancient times to the present!"
Lin Zhe nodded, then shook his head.
"Gong Jin's words are reasonable, but if you really want to use a metaphor, the king is like a boat, and the people are like water, it is even more appropriate. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. If the people's resentment is like a tide, then the king will not exist!"
When Lin Zhe finished speaking, Lu Su and Zhou Yu looked at each other with shock on their faces, then stood up, straightened their clothes slightly, and saluted Lin Zhe.
Looking at Lu Lingqi again, when she saw how much Zhou Yu and Lu Su valued her husband, she couldn't help but look happy and proud. Then she raised her head and looked at Lin Zhe, affectionately.
This is the man I chose!
This is what a man should do!
For Zhou Yu, Lin Zhe's principles really shocked him.
How could it not be surprising that a fifteen-year-old boy could see so thoroughly that it even gave him a feeling of enlightenment?
You must know that his question was not a casual question. The reason why he asked why the world has changed was because he wanted to see Lin Zhe's views and interpretation of the current situation.
But who would have thought that Lin Zhe would avoid answering the question and use another method to skip the question.
Although this move was a bit rogue, Lin Zhe's answer was perfect. Except for Zhang Fei and Lu Lingqi, everyone on the court was a good person, so they could naturally understand what he meant.
However, this is not Zhou Yu's ultimate goal. Since he also has the idea of recruiting Lu Su for his eldest brother, naturally he will not make wedding clothes for others in vain.
Everything Zhou Yu did was to pave the way for the final issue.
I saw Zhou Yu clasping his fists, with a sharp look in his eyes.
Seeing the poor dagger in the picture, sealing the throat with a sword.
"Xianyun's views are unique, but I don't know...how does Xianyun view the aristocratic family?"
"Aristocratic family..."
For Lin Zhe, this was indeed a very sensitive topic, but Lin Zhe did not speak for a while.
As everyone knows, aristocratic families and poor families are in conflict with each other, and Lin Zhe was born in a poor family. Whether he speaks for a poor family or takes sides with a wealthy family depends on how Lin Zhe responds.
If he is not careful, Lu Su may not only reject him, but he may also be wary of the great talents who defect to Liu Bei in the future.
You know, Lin Zhe can now be regarded as Liu Bei's chief adviser!
As for Lin Zhe, he actually has no prejudice against the aristocratic family. To explain it in the words of later generations - I don't hate the chaebol, I just hate that I am not that chaebol!
This is the principle of not worrying about scarcity but about inequality.
After thinking about it for a long time, Lin Zhe tentatively said: "In today's world, aristocratic families have become famous, and aristocratic families have failed. They seek national interests for their own benefit, plunder and steal cleverly, and care about themselves and forget about the world. All the trees will be broken by beetles, and the building will collapse."
That’s right!”
Seeing Lin Zhe's tactful words, Zhou Yu did not give him a chance to continue to fool him, but asked directly:
"I won't talk about anything else. I'm just talking about the present. If Xian Yun comes to power in the future, how will we deal with those aristocratic families? Will we take action against them?"
Lin Zhe glanced at Zhou Yu strangely. It seemed that Zhou Yu was the one who was anxious now...
However, this question seemed not difficult to answer. Lin Zhe shrugged and said, "Since Gong Jin only talks about the present, how can he talk about the future?"
"How can one person help the lord complete his great cause with his own strength? If Zi Jing is willing to assist the lord, then it is still possible."
"As for how to treat the aristocratic family at that time, whether it is to take drastic measures and reform the current shortcomings; or to continue the old habits and put stability first, I am afraid it needs to be discussed slowly!"
"after all..."
"This moment is the same as that moment!"
Hearing Lin Zhe's impeccable answer, Zhou Yu couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Once upon a time, he felt that he was so talented that few people in the world could catch his eye.
Who would have thought that Xuzhou alone could hide so many great talents.
There is Lu Su in Dongcheng and Lin Zhe in Xiaopei. How many great talents are there in the world?
The final battle between a poor family and an aristocratic family was, simply put, a matter of taking sides. This was also a trap set by Zhou Yu for Lin Zhe.
Zhou Yu knew that Lin Zhe was not from a wealthy family, but was an out-and-out talented man from a poor family!
If Lin Zhe supports the aristocratic family, it will be equivalent to forgetting his own identity, and he will definitely be criticized by the world in the future, especially those from a poor family!
You must know that not only Lin Zhe, but also his lord Liu Bei, although he always claims to be the queen of Zhongshan Prince Jing, can still be regarded as starting from a humble beginning.
And if Lin Zhe supported the poor family, it would be equivalent to pushing the aristocratic family out. Lu Su also represented the gentry side!
However, Lin Zhe answered in a clever way. He first used Zhou Yu's words to block him back, without clearly indicating his side, and even complimented Lu Su in passing.
In Zhou Yu's eyes, Lin Zhe is so quick-witted!
Lin Zhe, who had been replying to Zhou Yu, finally got free and asked his first question.
However, as soon as Lin Zhe opened his mouth, he was like Wang Zhe, and not even Zhou Yu could react.
I saw Lin Zhe looking at Zhou Yu who was meditating, cupping his fists and saluting:
"Gong Jin, Zhe also has a question. I hope Gong Jin is willing to tell the truth!"
