Master Kong Zhongni

Chapter 71
On the way back from school, Zi Gong walked behind Jai Yu with a smile on his face, and Jai Yu only had four words in his head.

I'm careless!

Why didn't I expect Master to explain Wei Yigong from that angle?
I want to prove that Duke Yi of Wei made mistakes in the past and repented later, so he got the posthumous title of Yi.

But the master said that Duke Wei Yi should have done better.

Just because he neglected state affairs and neglected precautions, he risked his life to fight Di Ren to the death, and he had to rely on Hongyan's loyalty and the people's sympathy for him to barely get a sympathetic Yi As a posthumous title.

Seeing Zaiyu's troubled look, Zigong walked up with a smile on his face.

"Son, why didn't you say anything today?"

Zai Yu rolled his eyes at him and said, "What do you want me to say? The master just said earlier that there will be higher achievements if you wake up early. But I turned around and told him that my cooperation with Yang Hu has just begun?"

Zigong asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

"Let's do this. I probably can't make sense. Next time, you can try to persuade the master?"

"Me?" Zigong waved his hands again and again: "I won't go, the master said: if the name is not right, the words will not go well, and if the words don't go well, nothing will happen.

After all, it is morally wrong for us to persuade Master to accept our cooperation with Yang Hu.

Since the name is not proper, then our reasoning does not make sense, why don't you understand this matter? "

If the name is not right, the words are not right?

A flash of light flashed in Zaiyu's mind.

yes!How did I not think of this?

The gloom on Zai Yu's face was swept away, and he regained his usual smug smile.

"Zigong, I have a new idea."

"What are you going to do?"

Zaiyu whispered in Zigong's ear.

At the beginning, Zigong nodded repeatedly to express his agreement, but later on his expression became more and more weird, until finally he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Are you crazy? Drive Yang Hu out of Lu? This is worse than persuading the master!"

Zai Yu snorted: "Since we can't solve the problem, let's solve the cause of the problem. Do you think, if the master is in charge of the state affairs of Lu State, if we want to find some craftsmen, do we need to go to Yang Hu?"

"Ke Yanghu controls the Ji clan, and also controls the command of the upper army through the Ji clan. With the strength of the two of us, how can we compete with him?"

Zai Yu said: "I heard that King Wen asked Taigong: If the strength is not as strong as the enemy, what method should be used to attack the enemy?

Taigong said: You can use Wenfa to attack him.

King Wen asked, "How should Wen be executed?"
Taigong said: According to the enemy's preferences, obey and satisfy his wishes.In this way, he will develop pride and be sure to do evil things.

Pretending to be humble and submissive to the enemy can gain his trust and understand his true feelings.

Adhering to his will, meeting his requirements, as close as brothers.

After gaining his trust, it can be subtly controlled and exploited.

Once the time is right, it can be easily wiped out like a god.

Win over the cronies of the monarch of the enemy country to divide the power of the enemy country.

Secretly bribe the enemy's kings and ministers, and establish a deep friendship with them.

If these people live in the country and their hearts are foreign, disasters will surely happen to the enemy country.

If you encounter a loyal minister of the enemy country who cannot be bought, respect him deliberately.

When a loyal minister came to visit our country as an envoy, he deliberately delayed, but did not answer the questions he negotiated, and tried his best to urge the enemy to resend the envoy, and then sincerely resolve the issues he negotiated.

In this way, the relationship between the monarch and his ministers of the enemy country can be alienated, so that they can seek their country. "

After hearing Zaiyu's statement, Zi Gong was sweating.

"My son, where did you learn these things?"

Zai Yu said convincingly: "Of course it is from the grandfather! Master can dream of Duke Zhou every night. Is it strange that I dream of the grandfather every night?"

The two of them were noisy all the way, and soon came to the front of the workshop.

Gongshu Pan was still squatting in the corner as usual, playing with all kinds of small wooden blocks.

But this time he had a lot more tools than when Zigong first met him.

Saws, curved rulers, ink fountains, planes and a lot of new tools are all available.

These were given to him by Zai Yu.

Ever since he met Gongshuban, Zaiyu has been like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, handing him all the carpentry tools that Gongshuban will invent when he grows up.

With the purchase of a large number of carpentry utensils, the relationship between Zaiyu and Xiaogong Shuban also quickly heated up.

The image of Zaiyu in Xiao Gongshuban's mind has also changed from a Confucian scholar who often wanders around with caramel, to a mysterious master who knows everything.

Two days ago, Zaiyu was so happy that he even told Gongshuban a story about the list of gods.

Before Zaiyu and the others reached the gate of the workshop, they were discovered by Xiaogong Shuban.

He put down his work, instead of running towards Zaiyu as usual, he shouted excitedly towards the workshop.

"Azu! Stop it, Master Zai is here!"

Zai Yu was startled when he heard the words, and hurriedly looked around, only to find that there was no sign of Jackie Chan.

Unexpectedly, Jackie Chan didn't find it, but found that Mr. Zhang came out of the workshop, holding two longbows with pulleys in his strong arms.

Zaiyu and Zigong looked at each other, and they hurried forward to meet each other: "Mr. Zhang, who is this?"

Mr. Zhang blushed: "After I had finished arguing with you that day, when I thought about it carefully, I realized that some of what I said was not appropriate.

A few days ago, I finished the errands entrusted to me by the monarch, and when I had nothing to do, I picked up the blueprints you entrusted to me. After careful consideration, I found that it was not without merit.

In addition, my grandson has been pestering me, asking me to make a pulley block, so I simply made two compound bows with pulley blocks.

After finishing it, I realized that using it is indeed less labor-intensive than an ordinary longbow, and it is actually an ingenious object. "

After speaking, Mr. Zhang stuffed the two longbows into the arms of Zaiyu and Zigong, and then left quickly.

Zaiyu took the longbow and took a look. This bow is not only equipped with a pulley block as Mr. Zhang said, it is almost complete except for some delicate parts that cannot be completed in a short period of time.

Moreover, the materials used are all high-quality extension wood and buffalo tendon.

More importantly, Mr. Zhang never mentioned the matter of remuneration from the beginning to the end.

Jae Yu couldn't help but smile knowingly.

This little old man really wants to save face.

As for Gongshu Ban on the side, he stretched out his hand to Zaiyu proudly, as if begging for a reward.

For those who have made such great achievements, Zaiyu naturally did not hesitate to reward him. He gave him a bowl of caramel as a reward on the spot, and handed over a stone mill drawing for him to enjoy.

Unexpectedly, Gongshu Ban was not satisfied after taking these, he said: "Master Zai, didn't you say that if I help you get Azu's help, you will tell me a new story?"

Zai Yu slapped his head and laughed loudly: "Look at my memory. Okay, then I will tell you a new story today."

Xiaogong Shuban's eyes lit up: "What story."

Jae Yu's smile was warm and innocent: "I am today! I will tell you a story about stopping Chu and attacking Song!"
