Unit 7, Section 240
Four Yue is the representative figure of the latter proposition. He explained his thoughts very thoroughly in his memorial to Emperor Yao. In fact, Emperor Yao is more inclined to use thunder means to suppress, but without the support of the prime minister, he undoubtedly told the world that the ruler and the minister are incompatible and harmful to the country, so he chose to hide and not publish. Four Yue not only did not accurately capture Emperor Yao's intention, but also issued official documents in the name of the court, publicly saying that rumors were a warning to the court. Officials at all levels must deeply reflect on their own faults and correct them in a timely manner.
Just as he made a mistake, he should do good governance and not be harsh on the government and evil governance. During this period, some people chose to leave because of the pressure. After the resignation, their problems were soon discovered, and everyone discussed ways to solve the problem. Emperor Yao received a memorial from the Four Yues. After reading the description, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Am I really wrong?" The guard said, "Master, you are the king of a country. What you see and think in your heart should be the livelihood of the people. Where can you have free time to compete with your ministers?"
Di Yao said: "We are going to Jishan tomorrow. Do you have anything to say?" The guard said: "First of all, you must be careful to control your emotions and never let our identity be exposed." Di Yao said: "Look at what you said, am I that naive?" The guard said: "Everyone has a time of naivety, even the emperor is no exception." Di Yao said: "Even if they know our identity, do they dare to be unfavorable to the emperor?" The guard said: "It's never wrong to be careful." After entering Jishan, they were immediately fascinated by the scenery here. What's interesting is that they lived in the local area for seven days, but still had no
People notice them, the reason is very simple. Most of them come and go here, and they are very polite, but don’t know each other. Do you want to live in an acquaintance society or absent society? Acquaintance society is accustomed to helping each other, but a society composed of strangers is different. Everyone has no habit of helping each other. If you can provide what others need, you can exchange with others based on this and get what you need. In fact, the so-called mutual help in acquaintance society is also a kind of exchange, but the exchange between strangers is much simpler.
The businessman's scheming is very complicated. Some people love old customers, while others are keen on killing old customers. Such people are often a complete bad person. He will educate you with reality. Trusting him is an irreparable mistake. Therefore, the author firmly refuses to be friends with those who kill old people. Is it a bad deed that can be forgiven for being accustomed to killing foreigners? In short, as a stranger, the author has been plotted by others and treated well. The night before yesterday, the author came to a place in Chen Village and was plotted by a female shop owner at a hotel at the entrance of the village. The author wanted a single room.
As a result, he was led into a room with only three beds, and the owner promised not to arrange for people to come in and live together. At that time, the author had already paid the house money. What's worse was that the owner did not give the door key, and the bathroom was still outside the room. If the audience was away, they must be very cautious, because people's hearts were sinister. Perhaps this has been the case since ancient times, and there was no one who did business in one's duty. If you meet such a person, you should feel lucky. Everyone that Emperor Yao met at the foot of Jishan was very kind, and couldn't help but sigh: "Maybe Xu You is really virtuous. Do you think this is God's will?"
The guard said, "Don't think too much, rumors always look like people without feet, they are often untrue." A middle-aged man came towards him. Di Yao stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Sir, please ask where Mr. Xu You live." The middle-aged man said, "Mr. Xu You live is very remote, but you don't have to worry. There are many people going in the same direction, you can just follow them." Di Yao said, "Thank you here." The middle-aged man said, "You seem to be from Beijing with the accent!" Di Yao said, "Come to visit." The middle-aged man said, "
It seems that you don’t look sick.” Di Yao said, “I am not sick, but I encountered some confusion and wanted to ask Mr. Xu You to give me some advice.” The middle-aged man said, “Your little thing does not require labor, Mr. Xu You, I can solve the doubts in your heart for you.” Di Yao said, “Sir, go and do it! I don’t want to cause trouble for you.” The middle-aged man said, “Mr. Xu You is much busier than me, do you have the heart to cause trouble for him?” Di Yao stopped talking, and the guard placed in front of Di Yao, raised his neck and said, “Go away quickly, otherwise everyone will not look good.”
The middle-aged man said, "What? Is it so arrogant when I come to our territory? Tell you, even if Emperor Yao comes, I have to bow my head to me." The guard raised his fist and was stopped by Emperor Yao. He smiled and said, "Why do you say that? It's hard to be so authoritative of the emperor to reach here?" The middle-aged man immediately spat on the ground when he heard this and said, "What emperor's authority? There is only one sun here, Mr. Xu You." Emperor Yao said, "You go!" The guard said, "You can't let him go, otherwise we will be in danger." Emperor Yao said, "
Let him go." When the middle-aged man looked at the situation, he felt that these two people were very mysterious. They were probably spies sent by the emperor, so he decisively chose to escape. After the middle-aged man escaped, Emperor Yao and his guards immediately turned from the open to the dark place. Sure enough, not long after, a large group of strong men began to search for them. At that time, Emperor Yao and his guards were hiding in a haystack, and the guards said, "What should we do next?" Emperor Yao said, "Why don't we make a big deal about this matter? Let's see what Xu You will do?" The guard said, "What if they are not good for you?"
Emperor Yao said: "If you were Xu You, would you do this?" The guard said: "I'm not sure, which choice is more favorable." Emperor Yao said: "If I was assassinated here, the four Yues would immediately gather a large army to attack Xu You. Can he resist such an attack?" The guard said: "Maybe Xu You don't know about this." Emperor Yao said: "This is the main reason why I have nothing to make this big." In fact, on the first day after Emperor Yao entered the local area, someone told Xu You about this news. Every time, Xu You would ask a hexagram. When he asked about the hexagram recently, the hexagram showed that the emperor had arrived.
He arranged for people to pay close attention to the entry and exit of the local area. Sure enough, he found that two people were talking on a Beijing accent. One of them was a lame man, but his appearance was very majestic. Xu You still pretended not to know anything. The search for Emperor Yao did not seem to have an ideal stop. The guard said, "Master, we are trapped." Emperor Yao said, "If I am destined to die here, then it will be impossible to pass anyway. If my life is not over, we will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties." The guard said, "Do you think we can overcome the difficulties this time?" Emperor Yao said, "But do good things, don't ask about the future, let it be."
As expected, they were finally discovered, but it was not the people who searched them, but the people sent by Xu You. At that time, Di Yao and the guards were all hungry. When they woke up, they were already lying at Xu You's house. Di Yao sat up and immediately brought him a bowl of fruit porridge. After drinking it, he felt that his physical strength gradually recovered. At this time, he saw a person sitting in the curtain tent, and he immediately stood up and walked over to salute, saying, "Yin Qi Fangxun came to interview, are you Mr. Xu You?" The man stood up and walked out of the curtain tent and bowed.
: "I am just the son of a village man in the mountains, why should you condescend here?" Emperor Yao said: "Mr. I am well-known, I will ask you for advice." Xu You said: "You are the emperor. Do you need someone like this to ask for advice?" Emperor Yao said: "I am called the sun, and you are also called the sun, which means we are the same kind." Xu You said: "You are the sun in the world, and I am the sun in the mountains, so you cannot speak in the same year." Emperor Yao said: "The sun hangs in the sky. Even if it is the world, can you choose to shine only in one specific place?"
Xu You said, "Master, I am just a practitioner of medicine. How can I threaten you?" Di Yao smiled and said, "You misunderstood me. I don't decide that you threatened me. I just lament that you are a rare talent." Have you ever met such a person in your life? He will never express his objection. When you point out that you have different opinions from him, he will deny it. However, what he showed was to do the exact opposite approach, and you can feel that he has been trying to change your understanding of some problems. Confucius once said
One is to express dissatisfaction with one person, which means to hide his resentment towards someone and make friends with him. Such a person is extremely dangerous. So once the author discovers such a person, he will never be friends with such a person, so the author has no friends yet. Xu You smiled bitterly and said, "There are two kinds of flowers, one is suitable for growing on the flat ground, and the other is suitable for growing on the valley. I am suitable for growing on the valley." Di Yao said, "I heard that the three of you, who spent their energy, studied the relationship between heaven and man, and understood the changes of ancient and modern times. It is difficult for you to be just a doctor who practices medicine in the mountains."
Xu You said: "You are right. The three of me gave up all the pursuit of the great way before. I am the same. Think about how a person who has not left behind a child and half of his daughter behind him will threaten you." Di Yao said: "You are strong now, and it is not difficult to have a child." Xu You said: "If you can't let go of everything, I will not be able to completely give up the doctrines left by my ancestors. Once you master it, I can only live in the mountains, and I will choose the latter." Di Yao said: "Do you decide that as the emperor, there is any problem when you govern the world?" Xu You said: "Of course, you have it. You have very much."
Many questions." Emperor Yao said: "I would like to hear the details." Xu You said: "All things follow the principles of the law. People and monarchs represent the destiny of heaven. Everything should follow the laws of heaven, rather than act according to their own likes and dislikes. They should go with the flow rather than force them to do things." Emperor Yao said: "What else is there?" Xu You said: "This is the general outline for governing the world. As long as you deal with this issue well, it will be easier for the people to make a living." Emperor Yao said: "The prey on the weak is also the principle of heaven. Do we want to be strong and bully the weak?" Xu You said: "Do you think it is not the prey on the weak now?"
The two of them were fighting red, but they did not say disrespectful words, let alone attack. In the last part of the conversation, Di Yao was reluctant to give in and said, "I am really not as good as you, just agree to my request and be the emperor!" When Xu You heard this, he ran away and came to the river to wash his ears. While washing, he said, "Don't dirty my ears, I just want to be a person who masters the ultimate wisdom like his ancestors." Di Yao stood there and said loudly, "Don't you want to use your wisdom to benefit the people?" Xu You said loudly, "The mouse drinks water but is full of his stomach. If
Someone sells the water from the entire river to a mouse, and it will definitely refuse, because it is far beyond its needs. I have the same idea as that mouse." Di Yao said: "Why do you say that my handicap is sold?" Xu You said: "Being the emperor, you must bear the worries of the world, be criticized by the people, and bear the ominousness of the world. As the emperor, you must follow the people's plan. You are a very wise emperor. Now that the world is peaceful and the people are happy, I am not sure what you do better than you. If I accept your abdication out of greed for power, I will definitely be scolded by the people, and your years of hard work will be ruined."
Xu You's words were unable to refute. Emperor Yao finally felt relieved. Now he could be the emperor steadily, and there was no need to worry that Xu You was supported by everyone to replace him as the emperor. Xu You was very sincere. Under his instructions, the scene between them was discussed by many people at that time. Some people supported Xu You's statement, and some people accused him of being ungrateful. Not long after, the local area began to boast about another person, who was called Zizhou Zhifu. Legend has it that he was comparable to Xu You's Taoist practice. Now the mysterious halo that enveloped Xu You's head disappeared, and he was
He pushed to the forefront, and indeed Emperor Yao visited him and asked to give the position of the emperor to him. He smiled and said, "You want to give the world to me, but I have to tell you regretfully that I suffer from serious illness and cannot stay in a place with particularly sufficient light. The emperor wants to sit in the Mingtang to discuss matters, but I can't do it at all." Emperor Yao sighed and said, "I want to give up the position of the emperor, why is it so difficult?" Zizhou Zhifu said, "The Lord does not have to feel sad. For a wise master like you, God will arrange a wise and wise heir to take over your position."
It was raining in the sky, and Emperor Yao was about to leave. Xu You did not come to see him off, but asked someone to bring him a message, saying that he was a person outside the place and the Lord was the Lord inside the place, so he should not have had a relationship. If you want to mess with people today, I hope that the Lord can do more good deeds, and I will pray for you in this deep mountains and forests. Zizhou Zhifu also asked someone to bring him over, saying that the Lord's story of petitioning for the wise will touch many people. I hope that the Lord will be able to treat the people well in the future and appoint the wise. At this time, Emperor Yao sighed and said, "This visit to the wise is nothing, how can I use the wise?" After Emperor Yao left, he discussed this matter.
There was no sign of cessation. A shepherd from Chaofu came to a river and planned to let the sheep drink water. He heard that this was the river where Xu You washed his ears. He was so scared that he immediately drove the sheep away. Later, there were only many celebrities in this place, but they were willing to eliminate the appearance of Xu You and Zizhou Zhifu, and were unwilling to cooperate with the court. After Emperor Yao was in court, he was very depressed. Siyue said: "Master, why are you depressed?" Emperor Yao said: "I went out to visit the wise man. I originally planned to visit some wise men like the ancestor Emperor Mang, but now I have returned without success. It is really frustrating."
Siyue said: "Since ancient times, the meeting between kings and ministers has been relied on the occasion of storms and times, and cannot be forced. How can the Lord concentrate on government affairs and benefit the people?" Di Yao said: "What you said is reasonable." Days passed day by day, and Di Yao's mood gradually calmed down. Suddenly one day, Di Yao was woken up by the eunuch. He was very annoyed and said: "What are you doing?" The eunuch said: "Master, Mr. Xu You sent the memorial. Do you want to take a look?" Di Yao said: "Where is the memorial?" The eunuch said: "It's still in the hands of the messenger." Di Yao said: "Please come in!"
After a while, the messenger came in with the memorial book. When he saw Emperor Yao, he immediately paid a visit. Emperor Yao said, "Mr. Xu You is a man outside the country. Why did he report me to me? Could it be that he has a different ambition?" The messenger said, "When Mr. Xu You was divining the divination, he found that a major disaster would occur. I want to ask the Lord to take precautions early." When Emperor Yao heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "I have become the emperor. Every year, the weather is good. How can a major disaster come? It is obvious that he is a witch who confuses the public and wants to gain a reputation." The messenger said, "If the Lord doesn't believe it, it doesn't matter. I just take the memorial book back."
When Emperor Yao heard this, he was furious and said, "You are just a man, how can you be called a minister?" The messenger immediately crawled on the ground and said, "The little one is a vulgar person from the countryside. I hope you can forgive me." Emperor Yao said, "Get away with your memorial book!" The messenger did not dare to be negligent, and stumbled with the memorial book and ran out. The messenger ran forward like crazy, but found that someone blocked his way, so he knelt on the ground and said, "In the vast sea of people, I am just a speck of dust. Why can't you let me go?" The man said, "Don't be afraid, I am just a piece of dust." The man said, "Don't be afraid, I am just a piece of dust."
I wanted to see what was written on the memorial." The messenger immediately handed the memorial to him. The man looked at it for a long time and returned the memorial to the messenger, saying, "You go!" The messenger ran away like a rabbit, and said, "Who was the one who stopped the memorial to look at the memorial? It was not someone else, but the Four Mountains. The messenger returned to Jishan and said this, Xu You said, "I was a village man and I had no intention of interfering in official affairs, but this matter was related to the life and death of countless people, so I had to do it." The messenger said, "I almost died because of this." Xu You said, "Don't worry! I will not do such a thing again in the future."
Originally, Siyue didn't take this matter seriously, but he found that the weather was getting hotter inexplicably. It was already October, and it was supposed to be colder day by day. Just in case, Siyue secretly sent someone to visit the person described by Xu You in the memorial. The man was called Dayi, and he was the most famous archer in the area. With this skill, he married the most famous beauty at that time, named Chang'e. One day, Dayi brought a lot of prey from outside and saw that it was full of smiles on his face. Dayi said: "I usually brought back more prey than this time, and you have never been so happy." Chang'e said: "I am not happy for this. Today, Beijing is the afternoon of the day.
One of the masters came to our house and said that the Prime Minister was interested in recruiting you to Pingyang to become an official." Dayi smiled and said, "Why didn't you tell him that I don't want to be an official?" Chang'e said, "Since I married you, my life has been hard, and I finally had such an opportunity to improve my life, so you told me to refuse." Dayi said, "You don't ask if you don't ask, within a radius of hundreds of miles, who is better than me. If someone's wife can spend money like you, she will be unable to live a long time." When she heard this, Chang'e got angry from her heart, and she was brave enough to say, "If you want a virtuous wife to spend money, why don't you want a woman with an ordinary appearance to be a wife?"
Dayi really felt that he was talking too much and said, "Madam, think about it, I can't do anything except shooting archery. Now it's a peaceful and prosperous era. What can I do when I go to the yamen?" Chang'e said, "Other people have their own considerations." Dayi said, "You and I are in a relationship, and I really don't want to go to the yamen to see other people's eyebrows." Chang'e saw that her husband was really unwilling, and her heart softened, and said, "Don't worry! When I come, I will reject him for you." Dayi bowed deeply and turned around and left. Nonetheless, the second time they came, they kidnapped Chang'e directly, thinking that even if they couldn't.
It was a great achievement to invite Dayi and offer his wife to the Prime Minister. Dayi knew about this and came to Pingyang with a bow and arrow. He was going to break into the Prime Minister's Mansion. The people from the Prime Minister's Mansion fought with him. Soon this incident alarmed Siyue. When Four Yue heard that it was Dayi coming, they danced happily and said, "It's great that you come. I must use you more." Dayi said, "Where is my wife?" Four Yue smiled and said, "In my back house, thank you for giving her to me." When he heard this, Dayi was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said, "Take my wife immediately, otherwise I will wash the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Siyue said, "I'm just a joke, why are you so angry? I'm a prime minister, how can I do something to force the robbery of the people? I have built a mansion for you, and your wife has already moved in early." Dayi said, "Master, as the saying goes, you don't receive any rewards. Tell me what I plan to let me do, otherwise I will never dare to receive such a gift." Siyue then invited him to his office and told me what Xu You wrote in the memorial book. Dayi said, "You are sure."
Is the Dayi he mentioned me me?" Siyue said, "It's true." Dayi said, "I am indeed good at shooting archery, but I am just an ordinary person, and I am just a bow and arrow. How can I shoot the sun down?" Siyue said, "I have someone to use the best materials to build bow and arrow, and all you have to do is to keep practicing." Dayi said, "What if Xu You said in the memorial book does not appear, what should I do?" Siyue said, "I will send you couple home."
