Unit 1 Section 7
It was really extraordinary to get this disease. The head seemed to be filled with lead water, but the body seemed as light as straw. Ten important officials and twelve brothers came to see him. Not only did he not open his eyes, but he even struggled to listen to people's words. The important officials were all shaking their heads, but their brothers were busy praying, fearing that their brothers would die. The important officials took the initiative to come to see the brothers who came to meet, and then bowed first after meeting, and then returned the tribute. After taking the seat, they began to talk about the serious matters. Rou Zhaoxian said: "My condition is so critical. On the one hand, we need to continue praying to God, and on the other hand, we cannot abandon government affairs. We are here to discuss with you how to arrange the next thing."
Chi Fenruo said: "Two ways, one is the shift system, the other is to divide the labor, and then perform their duties." The previous chapter said: "In terms of efficiency, the second solution is better, but it is not very fair." Chi Fenruo said: "It is worth sacrificing a little efficiency for fairness." The previous chapter said: "Fair is important, but you can't be too persistent." Chi Fenruo seemed a little impatient, so he said straightforwardly: "I'll just say it! My brother is seriously ill. If we concentrate on taking care of my brother, you
We concentrate on government affairs, and when his illness is cured, we will have nothing left." When we heard this, we immediately became anxious and said, "We sincerely talk to you about matters, are you suspicious here?" Jun Dun immediately smiled and said, "When I saw that my illness is sick, everyone seemed a little impatient." The previous chapter said, "It's not that everyone is impatient, but you are impatient." After saying that, I felt a little inappropriate, and quickly said, "I really seem a little impatient if I can say such words."
Qiandun said: "No obstacle, I just hope that the clan can get better soon." Rou Zhao said: "I hope that the clan will get better sooner. This is a good wish, and we have to face reality." Qiandun said: "We must find a way to take into account efficiency and fairness." Rou Zhao said: "What are your good ideas?" Qiandun said: "It is difficult to perform everyone's duties fairly. We must strive for the two forces of the important ministers and brothers to participate in official affairs and take care of the clan's food. In order to make the efficiency as high as possible, when handling official affairs, they mainly take important officials, and when facing gains, they mainly take brothers, and when they are mainly responsible, they must go to the front line to do things and supervise from the side when they are supplemented." The two sides settled the matter in this way. At that time, it was still very close to the opening time, and the entire crust was not solid. Fires often spewed out of the ground, and countless creatures were burned to death.
Humans have no way to deal with such disasters. The important officials have become accustomed to hearing bad news. Under the care of their brothers, the condition of the family has finally stabilized. He can even struggle to listen to his brother's introduction to the recent situation. He frowned and his eyes were as gloomy and heavy as his face. Da Yuanxian said: "Brother, you don't have to worry about official duties during your recovery. The important officials should be able to handle it well."
Huo laughed and said, "I have won this love for me. As a family of Yue, I must always think of the people and do my best to relieve or even eliminate the pain of the people." Da Yuanxian smiled and said, "Brother, this is my own people, you don't have to act." When he heard this, Huo sat up and said, "Do you know who can be smartest?" Da Yuanxian said, "I don't know." Huo straightened his body and said, "Silly people can be smartest, because truly smart people know that 'there are mountains outside the mountain and there are people on the mountain.'" Da Yuanxian looked unhappy and pouted and said, "You actually mocked me." Before he finished speaking, he started crying.
Huo said impatiently: "It seems that you have experienced too little things. You will definitely let you exercise if you have the chance." Although there were still many bad news, the important officials finally breathed a sigh of relief, because the Yue Kingdom was moving towards stability overall. Everyone just came back from the gate of hell and started to discuss another issue. No matter how capable Huo is, he is not a woman and cannot give birth to offspring. How could such a person give him a position for a long time? The important officials seemed a little hesitant about this matter. They all hoped that they could go one step further, but they could not accept that their colleagues would be promoted. In order not to be promoted, they would rather be controlled by a man.
Has anyone among the readers read "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"? People who are older than the author may have read novels. At that time, these were called idle books, and parents and teachers prohibited students from reading such books. Twenty years later, these books became a window for students to understand traditional culture. Not only were students not prohibited from reading such books, they even recommended them to read such books. Compared to twenty years ago, students' interest in this kind of pursuit was too weakened. Yuan Mei said: "It is impossible to read books without borrowing them!" Now it seems that it is impossible to read books without prohibiting them! Friends who are a little younger than the author may have watched TV series. After 2010 AD, costume TV series were filmed more and more like games. Such TV series can at least destroy a generation.
There is a plot in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Duan Zhengchun met his former lover, but she didn't know that the old lover was going to set up a trap to kill Duan Zhengchun. Before the murder, she told a story. When she was a child, she saw someone wearing new clothes, and she also clamored to ask for new clothes. No matter what she cried, she could not get new clothes. Later, she slipped into that person's room and cut the new clothes into a pile of cloth strips with scissors. At that time, she felt as happy as wearing new clothes. Compared to the audience, she already knew the author's meaning. In the eyes of these important officials, the position of the second wife was like a new clothes in the eyes of Mrs. Ma. If I couldn't get it, no one could imagine it, and the harvest became the scissors in their hands.
He finally recovered. He accompanied Qiandun and Chi Fenruo to visit the important officials. After meeting, everyone seemed very intimate. Huo was surrounded by a tree and drove down to the bottom of a tree. He waved his hand and said, "Everyone should sit down!" Rou Zhao said, "Today is a good day, I suggest that we should celebrate." Huo said, "It's too late today. You can discuss it carefully to celebrate Yue Kingdom's escape." The previous chapter said, "In the past period of time, I have experienced too many separations of life and death. Will such a large celebration arouse the disgust of the people?" Huo nodded and said, "Your concerns are not unreasonable." Huo said, "Otherwise, we will just celebrate in a small way." Huo said, "Do you think it's appropriate?" The previous chapter said, "It's better to be cautious."
Huo's face turned a little gloomy, Rou Zhao quickly said, "Otherwise, we don't want to celebrate, just say it's not easy for everyone to survive together, and have an appointment for a simple meal." The previous chapter said, "You are too cunning! The rules are to ruin people like you." Huo said, "Okay, don't do anything." Then he stood up and said, "Let's go."
Rouzhao accompanied him with a smile and kept sending him away for a long time. When he came back, he was immediately scolded by the previous chapter, saying, "I didn't expect you to be so respectful to the male protagonist." Rouzhao said, "Working with politeness is a person who thinks it is flattering!" When he heard this in the previous chapter, he was so angry that you were too untrue. This is what people in our era said, may have heard of the Analects of Confucius? Rouzhao smiled and said, "The truth is like the bright moon, and the Analects of Confucius is like a finger. The finger can point out the place where the bright moon is. It is not necessary to see that the bright moon does not have to be passed through the finger. I am because I am feeling it, and Confucius also feels it. We just stated the same facts." After being stunned for a long time in the previous chapter, it took a long time to understand what happened and said, "It is not a good thing to be too quibbling." Rouzhao said, "You are as stubborn as a stone, and you will suffer a loss."
After Huo returned, he felt very angry and frustrated. Kun Dun said, "You don't have to take this matter to heart." Huo said, "We should still put the overall situation first." Huo said, "Okay! I can pretend that this matter has not happened, although it has already happened."
Tomorrow, the important officials and brothers were summoned to announce a new decision. He decided to go into seclusion again in order to come up with a good way to deal with the frequent meteorological and geological disasters. The brothers of the harvest should ensure that the clan is in a safe environment on the one hand, and on the other hand, they should strive for more initiative in handling official duties. The first is relatively easy, and the second is that the direct interests of the clan posed a threat. Faced with such a situation, there was a disagreement between the important officials. Some believed that while the clan was in seclusion, they should take advantage of the clan's resolute attack and stewed Huo and his twelve brothers. Then they would ensure that the young lord ascends the throne. Rouzhao severely criticized this proposition, and she felt that doing so would repeat the tragedy that had happened before.
In the previous chapter, accused her of stinging the inside and out. Rouzhao said: "If we were really that good, our fate would not be better than that of the female close relatives in the future." Because the lessons of the past were right in front of us, Rouzhao's proposition was a bit harsh to many important officials, but he could not find a suitable reason to refute. Therefore, although the brothers who came to the hunt had some very excessive actions, they maintained a stable situation because of the tolerant of the important officials. The three-month retreat ended. The important officials asked about the results and said lightly: "There is no results." This made the important officials very angry. They even thought that the retreat was a cover, and his original intention was to squeeze these important officials. Rouzhao was excluded by the important officials. After a few days of rest, he announced his retreat again. All official duties were handed over to the important officials, and his brothers were only responsible for supervision. In fact, his brothers almost participated in the entire decision-making process.
Rou Zhao thought things could not go on like this, so she went to see Qiu who was in seclusion. Because Qiu was protected by her brother, and his brother would not allow her to see Qiu. She was not discouraged. She took advantage of the darkness and slipped in smoothly. Seeing Qiu standing in the distance facing the earthen wall, many strange patterns were painted on the wall. At this time, she felt strange, why is it so bright at night? Just thinking in her heart, she couldn't help but say it. Qiu turned around and saw her, but was not surprised. She walked over and sat down on a straw mat and said, "Is something wrong when I come to see me so anxiously?"
She said with a gloomy face: "Do you still not know what happened?" Huo was stunned and said: "You have seen the things on the wall, and I have spent all my energy on it. I really don't know what's happening outside." She said: "If I had no choice, I wouldn't look for you." Huo said: "If you have something to do, just say it." She said: "Your brothers' intervention in official affairs has far exceeded the scope of supervision. They are actually replacing us important officials. If you don't have your instructions, will they dare to do that?"
Huo said, "If they want to interfere, let them interfere?" She said, "They are all your brothers, what can we do?" Huo said, "You go back and tell them that as long as they are within the agreed scope with me, you can let go." She said, "What do you plan to do if your brothers take extreme measures?" Huo said, "An agreed in advance." She said, "It's hard for them to believe your words." Huo said, "What do you want me to do?" She said, "I hope you can persuade your brothers to return everything they shouldn't have." Huo said, "Don't worry, leave this to me."
Afterwards, he personally sent the Rouzhao out and then made an appointment with his brothers. After meeting, he saw that the elder brother was as deep as water, and he knew something was wrong. Kundun said, "What are the instructions for us?" Huo said, "Why don't you follow the prior agreement?" Kundun said, "Getting power is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat." Chi Fenruo immediately agreed, "Yes! If we don't enter, others will throw stones on us." Dahuangluo said, "That's right, instead of waiting for others to kill us, we might as well start first." One by one, he became more and more excited. Huo said, "Stop it all." They immediately shut up, Huo said, "It seems that I really underestimate you. It turns out that you are all heroes."
Jun Dun said, "I didn't discuss it with you in advance. This is my idea. If you want to punish me, then I will punish me alone." Jun Dun said, "Brothers are brothers and sisters, and I hurt you and I hurt myself. I want to tell you that those important officials are not ordinary people. If they fight with you desperately, they will not be as passive as they are now." Jun Dun said, "Brother, I didn't understand this." Jun Dun said, "The important officials have the country of Yue in their hearts. You are my brothers, and they should keep the country of Yue in their hearts."
Kun Dun's face was gloomy and said, "In my brother's heart, are we such a group of selfish people?" Huo said, "What is my heart like? Do you really don't know?" Chi Fenruo said, "Okay, we brothers should not be so suspicious, it is embarrassing to spread it." Huo said, "No matter what the important officials think, we must have the sincerity of cooperation. I am now from Yue Kingdom. My brothers and I must pretend to be in the country of Yue Kingdom. My words may not be listened to. I hope you don't hate me."
Faced with Huo's suspicion and teachings, the twelve brothers seemed a little impatient, but they knew the price of falling out with Huo. Shan Que said: "Maybe the important officials have misunderstandings about us, and the elder brother can coordinate the relationship between us." Huo said: "It's all." So he gathered the important officials and brothers together in the name of the clan. The author dared not speak out about the situation abroad. The author knew a little about the local customs. Many things cannot be negotiated through meetings, but they need to accumulate a bureau. The one who has the opportunity to come into contact with is probably the so-called wine party and dinner party. Generally speaking, to accumulate a bureau, one must first have one thing to do, and then the person who wants to do the business will invite the relevant person to the scene. Generally speaking, if something is to be made into a trap, there is usually a wine figure. Without wine, it is just a substitute for wine.
For example, in a casino, you may not be able to drink, but from the moment you enter the casino, you are already thinking about others. From the lights, smells, and all aspects, you are trying to confuse your mind and make you unable to get out of that atmosphere. The same is true for wine parties and dinner parties. If you invite people who can do things for you to a banquet, you need to create an atmosphere similar to a casino, so that he can get things done for you. Many people like to eat wine, and few people should love to eat wine from the bottom of their hearts. Coffee also has a similar function, so there are many people who drink coffee when talking about things. In contrast, tea is a clear stream among drinks, tea can be drunk alone, drink with you, and can invite three or five friends to taste it together, but it cannot be used to make a game. It is hard to imagine that everyone can use tea to confuse people's minds and make them fool.
In ancient times, not long before the opening, wine did not exist. It was difficult for these important officials to follow his words. Huo sat in the middle, with the left one of ten important officials, and the right one of twelve brothers. He said, "I invite you all today because I heard that there were some rifts between you, which is very bad. In order to reduce the conflict, I decided to make the agreement clearer." Rou Zhao said, "It should have been like this for a long time." Weitan said, "It is true." Huo said, "I will reiterate here that how to govern Yue is an important official, and my brother is responsible for supervision. If you find anything inappropriate, you can point it out directly. If the important officials think that their approach is not a problem, you can leave the problem to me for evaluation." Qiang Wang said, "Is there any boundary for supervision?"
Huo said: "What are your requirements for supervision?" Rouzhao said: "Supervisors can reflect the problems to us, but they cannot ask us to correct them." Huo said: "Why?" Rouzhao said: "If they ask us to correct their ideas at any time, they will become our superiors." Qiang said: "They can give us opinions, but we have the right not to accept their opinions. If they think our actions are inappropriate, they can sue them, and we can defend our actions." Huo nodded and said: "It seems that there is no problem." Yanmao said: "In this way, the power of supervision will be greatly weakened." Yanmao said: "It cannot be said to be weakened, but to control, everything should be controlled."
A new agreement appeared, and the conflict between the important ministers and brothers decreased a lot. Although he was in seclusion, he would meet his brothers regularly and take care of them in front of loyal ministers every time. He must be humble. There is a Qian hexagram in the Book of Changes, which is very special. Generally speaking, the yao is like this, with great auspiciousness in the middle and ominous on both sides. However, the yao hexagram is different, and all the six yaoes are auspicious. However, the person named Qian seems not as lucky as stated in the yao. Yu Qian, the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, saved the Ming Dynasty's country and moved his own head.
Qian Qianyi, a scholar in the late Ming Dynasty, staged a story of eternal love with a famous prostitute, but the fact that he was not safe in his later years. Money is money! Humility is humility! Benefit is increase! Money, humility, increase, put together can be understood as having a lot of money, and keeping humble elixirs in order to increase wealth. So behind these three words is not humility, but a big word greed. In the end, Qian Qianyi shaves his hair and dress to save his life and wealth, and becomes a real traitor. Maintaining humility will give you more opportunities than others. Humility does not mean retreating. Humility is an inner thing, that is, not to be valuable.
In ancient times, kings and princes called themselves the lonely and widowed, and widowed and lonely were the four most unfortunate types of people. When kings and princes described themselves like this, they wanted to show a spirit of not being the most valuable. In modern times, they were obviously the superiors, and they sat in the office all day long to give orders, but they called themselves public servants. In traditional society, kings and officials regarded themselves as parents of the people, relatives were parents, and loved ones were children. Such a metaphor would make people today feel uncomfortable. In fact, its original intention was to tighten their relationship with the people. Who doesn’t want to have a powerful man? Letting you be a child for the king or the superior is not considered as a humiliating you, but on the contrary, it gave you a big face at the gate.
Under the careful guidance of the brothers, the brothers became more and more humble and rational. Their changes made the important officials feel uneasy because such people are more difficult to deal with. Because these trivial matters always make him worry, his retreat operation ended in failure many times. At this time, the people on the earth still had to accept the high temperature and the burning of the earth. Finally, the brothers and the important officials promised him that they would never bother him because of anything. They wished him to succeed in this retreat operation that was about to begin. He was in seclusion again. He had not been able to concentrate for the first three days, and was always a little dazed in the middle three days, and the next three days he began to enter the field of his thinking. How can the people be spared from the scorching sun?
How can people be spared from the burning of earth fire? If there is a transparent thing covering people's heads, which does not affect lighting, but can withstand the invasion of the poisonous sun. What should this be? How can it be made? The more he thought about it, he became more and more crazy, and even shouted at the wall, and even used his head to bleed on the wall. He lost control several times and cried loudly, and the crying was very desolate. Just as his crying was distracted, it seemed that a voice was talking to him, and the sound was extremely old, like the sound of a rusty copper bell. The voice said: "The envoy is big and invisible, and the thing used to reduce the invasion of the poisonous sun should also be invisible, and it must be very light, and can float in the sky without flying away." Huo vaguely heard himself say: "In this way, it can only be a gas."
