Chapter 40: A Hundred Schools of Masters Meet the Flame Mountain

Young Master Qi led his brothers down the mountain. The county magistrate and the county lieutenant led all the officers and soldiers to greet them at the city gate. Next to them was Miss Ling, Miss Ling's father, and behind them were the people of Fucheng County. Young Master Qi and his brothers stood at the city gate.

Everyone knelt down and said, "Your Highness." The brothers around them knelt down and said, "Your Highness."

"Everyone, please rise up. As long as the army and the people are united, even the powerful Qin State cannot destroy our country and our hearts."

The county magistrate and the county captain stood up, and everyone stood up at the same time. The county magistrate said to everyone: "As long as you are here, our country of Ba is like a copper wall. The powerful Qin country cannot attack."

"I'm serious, as long as you are of the same mind as the people, you can die with them, you can live with them, but you can't be afraid of them."

Young Master Qi walked up to the county magistrate and asked, "Have you opened a porridge factory?"

"It's opened, please come in and watch."

Miss Ling stepped forward and stood in front of Young Master Qi, saying: "Young Master."

Young Master Qi stretched out his hand to touch Miss Ling's head. He and Miss Ling walked up to her father and saluted, "Uncle, refugees are running around and they are bound to get sick. Please help with the treatment. Thank you for your work."

"Young Master is kind to us people. It's time for us to repay him without being too modest."

Young Master Qi followed everyone into the county town. There was a long queue outside the porridge factory. They were all refugees. Young Master Qi asked the county magistrate next to him: "How is the construction of the refugees' houses going?"

“Under construction. ”

"Take me to see it quickly."

Young Master Qi followed the county magistrate into the house construction site, stood in front of the busy officers, soldiers and people, and said: "You go and do other things, leave this to me."

The county magistrate stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, you are the prince. How noble is your status? Why do you do such menial work?"

"There is no distinction between high and low here. I am a common people, and so are you. No matter how high your official position is or how noble your status is in the future, don't forget that you are a common people."

"Yes, yes, that is what His Highness taught you."

After saying this, Young Master Qi took off his toga coat, held the saw in one hand, stepped on the stool with one foot, and supported the big tree trunk with the other hand to pull it up and down. The county magistrate held Young Master Qi's toga coat and stood aside to watch. Miss Ling held it.

A bowl of water came forward and said: "Master, drink a bowl of water." Master Qi took the bowl of water from her hand and brought the water to his mouth. Miss Ling stood in front of him and took the

He took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and at this moment someone walked in.

"Sir, Mr. Meng has arrived at the outskirts of Fucheng County. This is a letter from Mr. Meng to you."

Prince Qi took the letter from this man, opened it, and wrote: "Qi'er, I heard that you defeated the Qin army and then implemented benevolent government in Fucheng County. After hearing this, Mr. Qi was very pleased, so he came from Qi State.

On the way back to Zou State, I stopped in Fucheng County. I miss you very much, so I hereby write you a letter. "There is a word Ziyu in the lower right corner of the letter.

"It's sir." Young Master Qi took the toga coat from the hands of the county magistrate, straightened his clothes, and asked Miss Ling: "Do you think the high crown on my head is correct? Are my clothes correct?"

"Be neat and tidy. Why do you pay attention to these red tapes, sir? Are you meeting someone important?" Miss Ling laughed a few times and asked curiously.

"This is etiquette. What I want to see is my husband. My husband pays the most attention to etiquette."

"The young lady and the young master will go together."

"You are not allowed to go. Your mission needs to be completed. Go back to the porridge factory to serve porridge and treat the refugees." After saying this, Gongzi Qi walked out of the house construction site. He walked to the hut and shouted: "Sir." Meng Ke's disciple Gongzi Chou

He walked out, clasped his hands in front of him, bent down and saluted, "Junior brother, you are here." The young master returned the salute and said very respectfully: "Qi Te is here to visit you, sir. Please also ask senior brother to enter the house to report."

"Junior brother, wait here, I will report to sir."

Young Master Qi bent down and clasped his hands in front of him, waiting for Gongsun Chou to come out and send a message. "Qi is here, come in quickly." A voice came from inside the house. Young Master Qi entered the thatched hut and saw his senior brothers sitting on both sides, listening to Mr.

Lecture. Master Qi was very excited after entering and said: "Sir." I haven't seen him for a long time. At this time, he already has a head full of white hair and a white beard hanging down. It seems that he is much haggard and older.

.

"Qi," Meng Ke looked at Young Master Qi standing up and bending down to salute. Young Master Qi bent down to ninety degrees, stood up and said, "Sir, it is disrespectful to prepare to be abrupt."

"It's not rude to Qi, come, come, sit among your senior fellow apprentices." Master Qi walked into the middle of them and sat down. Meng Ke said to everyone: "Qi implemented benevolent government in Ba and made the people rich.

, have fun with the people, and can form a strong army to resist powerful enemies, you must learn from them."

All the disciples sat up and bowed to Master Qi with their hands clasped in front of them. Master Qi returned the salute, sat up and bowed to Master, and stood up and said: "Qi is a gift from Master. He can govern the country internally, enjoy himself with everyone, and organize external affairs."

A powerful army protects the family and the people, but if it had not been given by Sir, it would now be just a lustful person and a member of the market, with nothing to accomplish."

"Qi." Young Master Qi said to the teacher, "Disciple is here."

"Mr. Guigu has sent an invitation to me to discuss Taoism. Now that I am old, it is difficult for me to move around, and I am afraid of being rude, you can go. Gongzi Chou, Meng Zhongzi, and Chen Zizhen will go with me."

"Sir, my disciple failed to be by your side to take care of you. You should take more care of your body."

"A man has ambitions in all directions, so go ahead and realize your ambitions, don't worry about it."

Prince Qi, Grandson Chou, Meng Zhongzi, and Chen Zizhen retreated and rushed to Yanshan. Here there are mountains and mountains, filled with clouds and mist. Water on the high mountains slowly flows deep in the clouds and mist, like colorful clouds in the clouds, covering the curtains.

There were many people sitting in the depths of the clouds, including Taoists, Legalists, Mohists, strategists, and farmers. Young Master Qi and his senior brothers represented Confucianism. Standing in the middle of them, they saluted the seniors present and said: "Junior, are you here?"

This is my salute to all the seniors. Please don’t take offense if I am rude."

"I wonder which gentlemen are...?" Mr. Gui Gu asked.

"Junior Qi, behind him are my senior brothers Gongsun Chou, Meng Zhongzi and Chen Zizhen."

"They are all Mr. Meng's favorite students. I wonder if your husband is in good health?"

"Thank you Mr. Guigu for your concern. My husband is still fine."

"Qi, you implemented benevolent policies in Ba and were deeply loved by the people. You personally led 500 dead soldiers to defeat 100,000 Qin soldiers in Jiange. We are gathered together to learn from each other's strengths. Everyone can speak freely. Qi, are you here?

How does Pakistan implement benevolent governance? How does it make its people rich?"

"I am a junior, and I dare not try to do anything in front of my seniors. I have little qualifications and need to learn from your seniors how to govern the country."

"Qi, you are too modest. Please find a seat and sit down." Young Master Qi and his senior brothers sat among these people.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, to govern a country well, we need to govern it without doing anything. Inaction does not mean not doing anything but observing the performance of these ministers from the side and making them control. How big is its space? No matter how big it is, it can't be as big as the universe. The universe is

The vast and infinite inaction is the mutual interplay of yin and yang. As a king, you only need to master the way of heaven to restrain the ministers, soothe the ministers who fight with each other just like the yin and yang to make them full of vitality. How to restrain the inaction of these ministers, or to govern a country or stabilize the country? You need to wait and see how it changes.

Be an outsider to mediate the harmonious relationship between kings and ministers. Or let them reveal their loyalties, advantages and disadvantages through silent observation, so as to let the natural survival of the fittest take its course. This is to adapt to the changes by remaining unchanged, grasping the constants in the changes, and mastering the changes.

The essence of it is the way of heaven, which is learned and practiced by the ruler." Taoism represents the way.

"These are troubled times. In troubled times, we should use key points to judge, rectify, and appease the people. This is to govern a country according to the law, to measure right and wrong according to the law, and to punish the lawless people who violate the law and discipline according to the law. The law does not show favoritism.

Fairness and justice. Those who are unfair and unjust will cause chaos to the people. Those who cause chaos to the people should be suppressed in accordance with the law, severe punishments and laws, and use force to strengthen their military, so that the country can be truly powerful and powerful all over the world. Yao and Shun were too kind, and the troubled times were not suitable for Yao and Shun's kingly ways.

, when he was overbearing, Gongsun Marting reformed the Qin State, which made the Qin State become stronger, and the troops came out of Hangu Pass, and the six countries were afraid of it. It is not necessary to follow the law before the king, but to be the king after the law. This is the way to make a strong country." Legalism
