Chapter 138
Mr. Xiao and Wei Hang were also standing in the sunny yard of their home at this time.After breakfast, Madam took Chen Hang out, so he called Wei Hang and told him to teach him in the morning, and to change his martial arts practice to the afternoon. Wei Hang said he had no objection, so they talked and laughed and went to the study.

With Chen Hang not here, Wei Hang didn't need to pretend anymore, and felt very relaxed instantly.

Parents have always been cautious in handling affairs. They considered that Chen Hang was young, and they were afraid that he would accidentally leak his words outside, so Wei Hang was a silly brother when Chen Hang was around.

However, as Chen Hang got older, he spoke and acted more rationally. Wei Hang suggested to his parents if he could tell him the truth about some things. In this way, he would not have to pretend or feel sorry for cheating Chen Hang. up.

But the parents thought it over and decided to wait a little longer before telling Chen Hang the truth.

Weihang had no choice but to respect his parents' decision, and continue to be a fool who only knew how to eat, sleep, practice martial arts and laugh.

After the two sat down in the study, Mr. Xiao took out a volume of books and said to Wei Hang: "Continue to talk about "Shangshu" today. This "Shangshu" has been talked about for more than half, how did Hanger gain?"

"Father, although this book is difficult to read, under your careful guidance, Hang'er studied it carefully, and the more he read, the clearer he became. He did learn a lot from it, and he benefited a lot from it. I have carefully recited the famous sayings in the past many times, and I can already recite them backwards." Wei Hang answered his father with bright eyes.

"Hang'er is so smart and hardworking, so naturally he can learn deeply, solidly, and gain a lot. Very good! Father hopes that Hang'er can learn about the history of the previous society, especially the specifics of the royal family, from this book like Jindu. In the future, it will be of great help to learn from it in the governance of the country." Mr. Xiao said with a satisfied expression, and said with a clear smile.

"Hang'er understands, always remember your responsibilities, and remind yourself that you will never disappoint your father and everyone!" Wei Hang loudly expressed his attitude to his father.

"Okay, let's start then." Both Mr. Xiao and Wei Hang are now full of energy and high spirits.

So Mr. Xiao turned to the article "Jun Shi", and asked Wei Hang before the lecture: "Last time I talked about "Wu Yi", Hang'er will first explain the essence of the content, combined with your own views, to Dad Listen."

"Okay, please listen to Hang'er. This Wuyi is Zhou Gong's instruction to King Cheng, admonishing King Cheng not to be greedy for comfort and pleasure, but to be a good king who fulfills his duties. So he cited four kings to King Cheng, Let it follow suit."

After Wei Hang finished speaking, he suddenly changed the subject and bowed deeply to Mr. Xiao: "Father is like Zhou Gong. He gives advice to Hang'er and teaches him with all his heart. Hang'er will always remember it in his heart."

Mr. Xiao quickly pulled him to stand up straight: "Hang'er doesn't need to be polite, father should be like this, and Hang'er should be like this too!"

Wei Hang's deep black eyes were a little bit starry, and although his voice was soft, he answered with a strong air: "Father, Hang'er will be like this. These four kings are Zhongzong Taixu, Gaozong Wuding, Zujia and King Wen. "

Zhongzong Yin feared the destiny.Govern the people autonomously.Only fear, not wild peace, so the ruling can last for 75 years, so that the Shang Dynasty suppressed defeat and prospered. Zhongxing; as far as Zujia, because he also had a folk life experience, after he ascended the throne, he protected the common people and never dared to insult widows and widows; and King Wen knew the difficulties of farming, treated the people benevolently, and worked diligently. He has been in power for 50 years.

These four kings can be called wise kings. The Duke of Zhou used them as an example to teach King Cheng not to indulge himself and not to be too greedy for comfort and pleasure when he was in power.We must tolerate criticism, and we must do our best for the affairs of all peoples, so that we can enjoy long-term peace and stability...

Weihang explained "Wuyi" clearly in one breath, and Mr. Xiao nodded and smiled.

"Father, Hang'er has memorized all these instructions by heart, and will always be on guard against himself in the future."

Mr. Xiao stretched out his hand and patted Hang'er's shoulder. Because of excitement, his hands trembled a little, and his voice was a little loud: "Hang'er, Dad is at ease with you and happy for you!"

His clear face was full of excitement, so many years of hard work finally had good results, and he did not live up to the efforts of so many people!

Next, he began to talk about "Jun Shi".

Zhaogong is the protector, Zhougong is the teacher, and Xiangcheng Wang is the left and right.Zhao Gong does not say, Zhou Gong wrote "Jun Shi".

After reading this sentence, Mr. Xiao paused and explained to Wei Hang: Xun is the name of Duke Zhao, and Duke Zhou called him Jun Xun, which is a respectful title for him.

Wei Hang nodded to express his understanding, and Mr. Xiao continued to read:

……

The Duke said: "Junxi! I heard that in the past, since Cheng Tang was ordered, there was Ruo Yiyin, who was in the emperor's sky. In Taijia, there was Ruo Baoheng. In Taiwu, there were Ruo Yizhi and ministers. Hu, respects God; Wu Xianyi belongs to the royal family. In Zuyi, there are always Wuxians. In Wuding, there are Ganpans...”

The public said: "Jun Xi! In the past, the God cut the virtue of Shen and persuaded the king of Ning, and he set his life on Jue Gong? Only King Wen Shang Kexiu and I have Xia; and only Ruo Guoshu, Ruo Hongyao, and Ruo San Yisheng, There is Ruo Taidian, and there is Ruo Nan Gongkuo."

……

After reading the whole text, Mr. Xiao began to explain by citing scriptures.He pointed out that this scripture is all the words of the Duke of Zhou, and there is no reply from the Duke of Zhao, so it may be the content of the conversation between the Duke of Zhou and the Duke of Zhao, but it only records what the Duke of Zhou said, or it is a letter written by the Duke of Zhou to the Duke of Zhao. letter.

The whole article covers several meanings: one is the Duke of Zhou’s views on the replacement of the Shang Dynasty by the Zhou Dynasty. He believes that although the Zhou Dynasty replaced the Shang Dynasty in accordance with the destiny, the future is not bright. ; secondly, he once again emphasized that if one does not respect God and does not love the people, one may lose the mandate of heaven; Yiyin; Taijia has Baoheng; Taiwu has Yizhi, Chenhu and Wuxian; Zuyi has Wuxian; Wuding has Ganpan's assistance to complete the destiny; the fourth is to propose why King Wen will be rewarded by destiny, except for himself In addition to his outstanding talents and virtues, he also relied on the help of virtuous ministers such as Uncle Guo, Hong Yao, San Yisheng, Tai Dian, and Nan Gongkuo; in the end he said that he shouldered a heavy responsibility and needed the help of Mr. Zhao...

In short, Zhou Gong persuaded Zhao Gong to be a virtuous minister to assist in becoming a king and achieve great achievements.

"Father, Duke Zhou's persuasion should be effective. Hang'er saw it when he was reading history books. Later, Duke Zhao worked as a backup for Duke Zhou in the old capital, Haojing, and helped him resolve many crises." Wei Hang interjected. talk.

"Hang'er is quite right. If a sage has many virtuous ministers, he can become a sage with many virtuous ministers."

Wei Hang nodded emphatically: "Father, Hang'er knows that the so-called old country does not mean that there are trees, but that there are ministers."

Mr. Xiao smiled: "Hang'er has already realized the essence! Remember to practice it in the future."

"Father, Hang'er will never forget." Wei Hang answered his father very seriously.

The two continued to read the entire content during the dialogue. During the period, Mr. Xiao asked Wei Hang several times, and Wei Hang answered all of them fluently, and Mr. Xiao was very satisfied.
