Chapter 42 Entering Linzi
"What about one more?" asked the snow girl.
"The other one is Mengchangjun Tian Wen from Qi State where we are now." Li Haimo said.
"Why are they said to be the fourth son of the Seven Kingdoms? Are they even more powerful than the prince of the Seven Kingdoms royal family?" asked Snow Girl.
"Except Chunshenjun Huang Xie, the other three are indeed the princes of the Seven Kingdoms royal family." Li Haimo smiled.
"First of all, the Xinling Jun Wei Wuji, as the prince of Wei, defeated the Qin army many times. Even the Qin Wu'an Jun Bai Qi did not get any advantage at Xinling Jun. He defeated the Qin army twice and stole the talisman to save Zhao, which directly led to the Qin defeat. Then the six countries joined forces and entered Hangu Pass. This was the only time that Hangu Pass failed. Do you think he can be considered the son of the Seven Kingdoms?" Li Haimo said.
"This can be counted. What about Pingyuan Jun?" Xiaomeng agreed to Xinling Jun as the prince of the Seven Kingdoms.
"Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng has many disciples. When Bai An of Qin State Wu'an, he spread all his wealth and wandered around many places. He invited Xinlingjun and Chunshenjun to send troops to rescue Zhao. When Bai Qi besieged Handan, his wives and concubines entered the ranks to sew clothes for the soldiers, resulting in the entire Handan's soldiers waiting for reinforcements from the Chu and Wei countries to defend Zhao, but after the victory, he did not ask for rewards." Li Haimo continued, both Pingyuan Jun and Xinlingjun were in their old age. He also suspected that Changping Jun handed over the 300 swordsman martial artists of the Book of Songs to Xinlingjun instead of Chunshenjun Huang Xie. Because in terms of character, both Xinlingjun and Pingyuan Jun are more reliable than Chunshenjun.
"Where is Chunshenjun?" asked the snow girl.
"When Bai Qi was so smart, he sent troops to Chu. He was so smart that he lobbied the Qin court and withdrew his troops. Later, he welcomed the crown prince as the King of Chu, which is the current King of Chu. The previous year, he was the commander of the coalition forces of the coalition forces and the troops of the six countries to attack Qin." Li Haimo said.
"In the end, it was Mengchangjun from Qi. The literati and officials of the seven countries liked to raise their disciples. In fact, they all learned from Mengchangjun. Mengchangjun was known as three thousand disciples. He entered Qin as the prime minister of Qin, returned to Qi as the prime minister of Qi, and finally joined Wei as the prime minister of Wei. He successively attacked Qin and attacked Qi. It was not as good as the prime minister of Jin," said Li Haimo.
"Well said! Just by what the young master said, you can afford this glass of wine." An old woman in brocade clothes at the next table clapped and asked her servants around her to send a glass of wine.
Li Haimo took the wine and drank it all. The fourth prince of the Warring States Period was commented by later generations. There was no such statement at this time, but it was extremely credible.
"Dare you ask which young master is?" the old woman spoke again.
"Han Han Fei has met his wife." Li Haimo didn't want to pretend to be Han Fei directly. Anyway, he still has to study at Xiaoshengxianzhuang, and pretending is trustworthy. Moreover, Han Fei's good wine and beautiful appearance are not in vain, otherwise how can he explain Xiaomeng and Xue Nu around him?
"It turns out to be the ninth son of South Korea." The old woman nodded.
"In fact, in addition to the fourth princes of the Seven Kingdoms, there are also the fourth princes of the Seven Kingdoms." Li Haimo said. Because he found that the fourth prince, Xiaomeng and Xuenu didn't like to listen, he decided to say the fourth princess.
"There are four queens?" Xiaomeng and her two women were interested and looked at him with great enthusiasm.
"Young Master Ninth doesn't mind the old woman listening, right?" The woman in Jinyi also came over and just took a table of mahjong to get together.
"The first one is the late Queen Mother of Qin and the Queen Mother of Qin Xuan, Mi Bazi, who reigned for 41 years, suppressed the King of Qin and did not dare to take charge of the rule, and also ensured that Qin was not in chaos and gradually became stronger." Li Haimo said.
"Mi Bazi can deserve the title of the No. 1 Queen Mother." The old woman nodded.
"The second is Queen Han Huanhui, Han has been weak for a long time. During the reign of King Han Huanhui, Han had stolen nearly twenty cities of Qin, including Shangdang and Ye Wang enfeoffed the city. The whole Han Dynasty fled when he heard about Bai Qi and was afraid that Qin would penetrate deep into the bone marrow. However, King Han died and King Han was established. Empress Dowager Han wandered between Qin and Zhao and Wei, and raised the torso of Han with a weak woman. Do you think he deserves the title of the Empress Dowager of the Seven Kingdoms?" Li Haimo said.
"Of course, Koreans are all cowardly and a woman can stand up to their chests." The guests around them were also listening with their ears on their ears.
"What about the third one?" asked the snow girl, wanting to know which empress dowager it was.
"Queen Huiwen of Zhao, who is now the Empress Dowager of Zhao, came to the city tower to make clothes and cook for the soldiers during the war in Handan. Now she became the Empress Dowager of Zhao. But now the Qinghuang of Zhao is not in contact with Zhao, the general Zhao She is dead, the civil minister Lin Xiangru entered, and even Pingyuan Jun fell ill. The only person available to Zhao State is Lian Po, who is already eighty years old. In this situation, Empress Dowager Zhao also has to stand in front and support the veteran General Lian Po. At the same time, she dared to use the young Li Mu as a general to guard Yanmen Pass. In one battle, the border blood flowed continuously. The Huns dared not step into the Central Plains again. There were more than a hundred people outside Yanmen Pass who cast their capitals. No one dared to go out to pee at night. So I think Empress Dowager Zhao can also be the Empress Dowager of the Seven Kingdoms." Li Haimo said.
"The King of Zhao is stupid and has a general who doesn't need it. He listens to slander and forces the old empress dowager to come out to guard the rear for the veteran general, and throws away the face of King Wuling of Zhao." The old woman said resentfully.
"What about the last one? Young Master, please tell me, I'll treat the wine money today." The shopkeeper also slipped out and sat aside. Cui said.
"The last one is the current Queen Mother of Qi." Li Haimo said, and then he saw the old woman being stunned at first, then surprised.
"What's the answer?" asked the shopkeeper, very happy. The fourth princes of the Seven Kingdoms include our Qi State, the fourth queen of the Seven Kingdoms and our Qi State.
"It's very simple. How long has Qi been restored to Tian Dan? But he has experienced wars, has he ever increased taxes and labor service? Linzi City has a population of nearly one million, and it is the largest city in the seven countries. He raises his hands to cover the sky, walks and walks and touches his shoulders. Whose credit is this? King Jian of Qi is the queen of the king, so I don't need to say more." Li Haimo said.
"I heard that Confucianism does not like the queen and thinks that her virtue is a disadvantage." Xue Nu said inappropriately. The old woman also looked sad.
"I can only say that Taishi Chu is too polite and ignores the original meaning of Confucianism. The word Confucianism is what people need, then what people need? Money, status or beautiful women, gorgeous clothes and jewelry? Or facial etiquette? Actually, it is not. What do people need? First of all, solve their own food and clothing. Only by solving their food and clothing will people consider other things. After solving their food and clothing, what do we need? Should we ensure the safety of our lives, ensure the safety of our money, and ensure that we are not sick, injured, and without any accidents." Li Haimo looked around, not only the guests, but also many Confucian scholars.
"So the first thing we need is to ensure our food and clothing safety. So what do we need after these are solved? Snow Girl, tell me what do you need after you don't have to worry about food and clothing and your life safety is also guaranteed?" Li Haimo asked at Snow Girl.
The snow girl thought for a while before blushing and said, "Someone cares about it and someone loves it."
"Yes, that's it. After all this is solved, what we need is the care of our family, the attention of our friends, and the love of our wives and husbands, because we need a home." Li Haimo said, and then found that many people suddenly realized and their eyes were red.
"What do we need when we have a home? The shopkeeper, you say I will spit at you when I enter the door. Will you still welcome me?" Li Haimo asked.
"It would be nice if I didn't kill you with a knife, and I would like to welcome you." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
"Do you know why this is happening?" Li Haimo said in unit.
The shopkeeper shook his head, and everyone was thinking, isn't this an instinctive reaction? What's wrong?
"Because after we have the previous things, we need the respect of others, and at the same time we respect others. Over the years, we have traveled to many cities and met many people. Then I ask you, you are very rushing to the carriage on the road. What can you do to prevent this phenomenon from happening?" Li Haimo asked.
"Issue a decree and increase the intensity of criminal law!" said the old woman.
"Is it really effective? Who cares about this among the princes and nobles?" Li Haimo said, and everyone nodded.
"But I've seen it in a county town that I forgot my name, and they perfectly solved this problem without any laws." Li Haimo said.
"What's the solution?" everyone asked.
Li Haimo looked at one of the young men in brocade clothes and said, "Young Master, if you ride a horse and pass by a pool on the pipe, and there are two old farmers by the pool, would you stop and lead the horse over?"
The young man blushed and he whispered: "No."
"Don't be embarrassed, I believe most people don't know, but what if those two old farmers saw you from afar and bowed to you on the roadside and asked you to pass first?" Li Haimo asked again.
"Then I will stop the horse and let them pass first." The young man thought for a while and said.
"So this is what the county town does. The county school requires all students to learn this etiquette. When they encounter chariots and horses on the road, they stop to salute first, and wait for the chariots and horses to go back again. So whether it is local chariots and horses or foreign chariots and horses, they are slow to drive locally, but they have no laws to restrict them at all." Li Haimo said.
"This is because everyone needs respect." Li Haimo said.
"It's good! I have been studying Confucianism for so many years, and I still understand that this is Confucianism. I'm going to be a prayer for a while." A group of Confucian scholars came up and bowed very solemnly.
"Don't worry, the previous ones are just Confucian scholars, and the true national scholars are unparalleled. What is a great Confucian scholar? That is, based on these foundations, to realize one's ambitions and maximize one's abilities. If you are poor, you will be safe and be able to help the world. This is what you are talking about, and it is also the highest requirement for people to meet the first four needs, that is, the need for realizing their own ideals and value. If you can satisfy the five, you are the real Confucian scholar." Li Haimo said.
"Thank you for your advice, sir." Everyone stood up and used Confucian etiquette to express his strength to him.
"So back to the initial question, who is right and who is wrong, the Queen and her father, the Grand Historian?" Li Haimo asked everyone.
"Nothing is wrong, but everything is wrong." Li Haimo said.
"The Queen's mistake was that she married without the words of the matchmaker. In this matter, Lao Du, what do you think the Queen's mistake was?" Li Haimo asked.
"The fault is that she did not respect her father." The old woman said.
"A big mistake, do you know what a father cares most about? The Queen has to do something to destroy everything about a father. The Queen runs away from home, and her food and clothing, and her safety are all the things that Tai Shi Hu is most worried about. Then she breaks up the original complete family, and finally tramples on the dignity of her father. At the same time, the Queen sits at the position of Tai Shi Hu, and her life's innocent ambitions are also destroyed. Therefore, the Queen's practice destroys all the needs of Tai Shi Hu." Li Haimo said.
The old woman kept crying, and it turned out that her willfulness at the time ruined her father's life.
"If the queen could leave a book and leave, and would often report safety after leaving, and have words to tell Tai Shi Gui that he had the care of her husband, and then King Qi came to the door to hire him, then none of this would happen." Li Haimo said.
"But isn't it wrong for Taishi? It's not wrong for the Queen to be his daughter. A man is determined by all directions, and a woman also needs a lover. What he can give is the love of his father, but the Queen also has the right to pursue his own happiness. As a father, he gave up his family just because of the words of a matchmaker and because of his disrespect for him, and did not allow the family to reunite until his death, which also led to the pain of the Queen throughout his life. It was only because he divided the order of the Queen and himself in the wrong order, which led to the desolation of the Queen and his second half of his life. So it is not an exaggeration to say a word." Li Haimo said.
"And the biggest mistake of the Queen is that she has not gone home to take a look and put a stick of incense on her father. Don't tell me that the family will not give it to her. Confucianism will not give it to her. In fact, it is just that she can't help but ask for Confucianism and the villagers. With the current power of the Queen, who dares to stop the entire Qi State? But after all, it is inappropriate to do this. Then go back from the ten-mile pavilion outside the city, bow three times and knock nine times. When the Queen is old, King Jian of Qi will ritual on behalf of him. Let's ask the Confucianism in the world that dares to stop her daughter from burning incense on her father's tomb. As long as the Queen dares to do it, who dares to stop it? One counts one, and see if my master's sword is not good." Li Haimo said.
