Master Kong Zhongni

Chapter 89 Can Huzi Get Along?
"I……"

Zaiyu didn't expect to be discovered by Zhao Yang, and the atmosphere fell into confusion and embarrassment for a while.

Fortunately, Zhao Yang laughed loudly, dispelling the almost frozen atmosphere.

"Since it's not convenient for you to answer, then I won't mention this. But it happens that you are here, and I happen to have a few questions to ask you."

Zai Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "Please tell me."

Zhao Yang asked, "May I ask what you think of Yanghu in your country?"

Zai Yu thought that Zhao Yang would ask some simple questions, but he didn't expect to ask Yang Hu directly.

This is not a good question to answer.

If he accuses Yang Hu directly, he will not repay his kindness, because Yang Hu has contributed a lot to get him the official position.

Repaying kindness with hatred is not in line with the principles of a gentleman's life, and it will also make Zhao Yang look down on himself.

But if he didn't mention Yang Hu's fault, he would be acting like a villain again, which is also not advisable.

If he did so, Zhao Yang would definitely despise his character.

Therefore, Zaiyu thought for a while before asking back: "Which aspect do you want to ask?"

Zhao Yang asked, "What if I'm asking about morality?"

Zaiyu replied: "The master once taught me: to hide shame for the venerable, hide the fault for the sage, and hide the disease for the relative. This is the most basic etiquette in life. So please forgive me for not being able to answer your question. .”

Zai Yu's answer seemed like he didn't answer anything, but in fact he said everything that needed to be said.

Hearing this, Zhao Yang also felt that Zai Yu was a rare and wonderful person, so he couldn't help laughing.

"That's right, I see. So, what do you think of his talent?"

This time Zai Yu no longer avoided answering, but replied directly.

"From a janitor, he can step up to be the steward of the Ji family, and even control the state affairs of the Lu state. Although I have read all the ancient books, I have never seen such a person since ancient times."

Hearing this, Zhao Yang groaned slightly, and then asked again.

"You are good at divination about future affairs. Since that's the case, do you think what Uncle Meng said just now will come true? Is it true that Yang Hu can't sustain himself in the State of Lu?"

Zaiyu remained silent again.

Seeing him like this, Zhao Yang thought of what he had said before, so he changed his words with a smile.

"I was wrong just now. I want to ask you now, can an accomplice who once said, 'Being rich is not benevolent, being benevolent is not rich', can hold the country's political power for a long time?"

Zaiyu replied: "Of course not. I have answered this question for you before. A person who is not benevolent cannot maintain a dignified position for a long time. It has nothing to do with whether he is a courtier or not.

There is no fixed sacrificial person in the country, and the monarch and ministers have no fixed status. This has been the case since ancient times.

Empress Xia lost her morality, and the country returned to Yin and Shang.

The Yin and Shang lost their morality, and the society returned to Cheng Zhou.

There is Tao in the world, and only the benevolent can attain it. This is a natural truth.

The Ji family lost benevolence, so Yang Hu took his place.

If Yang Hu lost his benevolence, then naturally someone else would take his place. "

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yang raised a new question.

"According to what you said, if a benevolent person is in a superior position, then even if there are unkind people under him, his position cannot be overthrown?"

Zaiyu bowed his hands and said: "Yanzi of Qi State once said: Oranges grown in Huainan are oranges, and oranges grown in Huaibei are oranges.

If the ruler is really a benevolent person, then how can there be no benevolent people under him? "

After Zhao Yang heard this, he couldn't help bowing and said: "I heard that a gentleman doesn't act rashly, he must act wisely.

A gentleman does not talk in vain, his words must be reasonable.

A gentleman does not ask for anything, and what he asks for must be righteous.

A gentleman does not act in vain, and his actions must be righteous.

If you use this standard to measure, you can probably already be regarded as a gentleman. "

Zai Yu said modestly: "You are too famous."

The two looked at each other, and both laughed.

"Every time I talk with you, I can always get something new! When you said that you are not worthy of the virtuous, I still can't believe your words, but now, I can probably believe it."

Zaiyu pondered for a while, then asked with a smile: "Did you ask someone to divination for your descendants again? Or, what method did you use to test their talents?"

Zhao Yang was caught by Zai Yu's guess, and suddenly said in surprise: "How do you know?"

Zaiyu said: "I heard a saying that when things go wrong, there must be demons. I also talked with you yesterday, but you didn't believe me.

Then in the same way, you can't suddenly believe me because of what I said today. "

Hearing this, Zhao Yang was convinced and said, "I never expected you to be so insightful. That's right, I met people for my sons and tested their talents."

"What was the result?"

Zhao Yang cupped his hands and bowed again: "As you said, Wuji's appearance is beyond words, and his talent and character are also the most outstanding among Zhao's children."

Zaiyu asked: "You can change your attitude towards Wuji so much. It seems that the physiognomist who looked at him this time is not very human?"

Once again, the truth was within Jae Yu's expectations, so Zhao Yang simply stopped hiding it and revealed everything in one go.

"The one who looks at Wuji's face is the world-renowned physiognomy teacher - Gubu Ziqing.

He has been staying in Xinjiang for the past few days, and because I am not sure of your remarks, I want to find another person to see if I can draw a different conclusion.

Unexpectedly, the result of his reading is exactly the same as your idea.

So when I told him what you said, he offered to meet with you.

I came to you today to convey this request for him. "

"Meet me?" Jae Yu's heart skipped a beat.

Gubu Ziqing is different from him as a fake physiognomy master. He is a real person who analyzes his face in a down-to-earth manner.

But when Zaiyu looks at the picture, he draws the target first and then shoots the arrow.

He originally believed that Zhao Wuyi was a virtuous person, so all his speech skills were to verify this argument.

If he agrees to meet with the other party, then in front of this truth master, he might reveal his secrets.

Therefore, Zaiyu refused without thinking: "Please also convey your apology to Gubu Ziqing. Although I also intend to meet with him, I really don't have time. After the banquet tonight, we will leave for Lu soon. Country, I'm afraid there will be no chance to meet you!"

Zhao Yang said with a smile: "You don't need to worry about this. I just talked to Uncle Meng. They still need to present a financial gift to Mrs. Jun tomorrow. In a day, I can help you arrange a meeting with him."

I……

After hearing these words, Zai Yu wanted to give himself a big mouth.

Why am I talking so deadly?
Isn't this blocking his escape route?

Zhao Yang thought that Zai Yu was worried about the inaccuracy of time, so he continued.

"According to the etiquette, you should also be present as a gift to Mrs. Jun. But I have already discussed with Uncle Meng, and he said that you can be allowed to be absent from the ceremony. You don't have to worry about it."

Zhao Yang had already talked about this point, so Jae Yu could only purse his lips and reply: "Then I am really thankful to you!"

　Asking for a ticket is already a mistake.

　　Then I am willing to stay confused.
