I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 145 Zhao Wu Comes Out of the Mountain
Zhao Wu invited Li Ran and Yihe here together, but he didn't speak out about the alliance in Guodi, but asked Yihe straight to the point what the eight words "a good minister is about to die, and the sky can't protect him" mean.

He was a little angry and a little wronged.

His whole life can be described as conscientious and dedicated.He has devoted himself to the country and the people for decades, and he is about to turn down the building. He presided over the alliance and made Jin the leader of the world again. It has been eight years now.

The precarious hegemony of the Jin State continued in his hands.Why didn't God bless him?Why did Yihe curse him to death?
Could it be that his achievements cannot be recognized by the world?
Hearing the words, Yihe knew that his anger was rising, but he was still not in a hurry, and said slowly:
"What I say next is the situation since then."

"An ancient saying: 'The straight does not complement the curved, the light does not return to the dark, the arched wood does not create danger, and the pines and cypresses do not grow.' It means: the upright cannot be supplemented by the crooked, the bright will not be dimmed, and the big tree cannot grow. In high and dangerous places, pines and cypresses will not grow in low-lying and humid places."

"Now Zhao Zhongjun can't admonish the monarch for his lust for women, which caused him to suffer a serious illness. But he can't retire by himself, and take pride in being the chief minister. Eight years is enough. How can this last?"

Yes, it is difficult to be a king, but it is not difficult to be a courtier.

On the bright side, it is obvious that the monarch has done something wrong, but the monarch cannot be blamed. Instead, the courtiers should be blamed for not advising in time.

Even if you, Zhao Wu, have made great contributions in the past, as long as you have not persuaded the monarch well and made him a foolish emperor, then you are not a qualified courtier.

Zhao Wu heard the sound and knew that this doctor's plan was to persuade himself on the surface.In fact, it is quite suspected of spying.

The more you deal with this kind of person, the more cautious you have to be.Immovable like a mountain, hard to know like yin and yang, this is the deepest cultivation of the superior.

Therefore, Zhao Wu didn't get angry when he saw Zhao Wu. Instead, he looked at Yihe and continued to ask:

"Oh? Doctors can cure people, but can they also govern a country?"

Upon hearing this, Yihe also knew that Zhao Wu was already on guard, and also knew that Zhao Wu was quite knowledgeable, so he just responded:

"No matter what kind of occupation we are in, we all follow the principles of heaven. Since we all act according to the principles of heaven, how can it go against the way of governing the country? What's more, those of us who practice medicine, of course the best doctors Those who can heal the country, the lesser ones are the ones who can heal the sick. These are the responsibilities of doctors in the first place!"

After Zhao Wu heard it, he couldn't refute it, but he could tell that the doctor obviously still didn't want to move away from the topic of "governing the country and ensuring peace and security".

However, if he is as experienced as he is, how can he easily fall into his way?So, he only asked lightly:

"By the way, I don't know where the 'gu' that caused the widow's illness that the master said in the palace before came from? How did it get into the widow's body?"

Now that he already knew the reason for Yihe's visit, he couldn't continue to dwell on this question.Therefore, it is the forehand to ask about the "professional" of Yihe.

Hearing the sound, Yihe also knew what Zhao Wu was thinking, and immediately said:
"Oh? Zhao Zhongjun is interested in this, so I don't dare not answer. If you want to say this 'Gu', it is actually a small bug that flies out of the millet. In fact, there is almost no hidden Gu in everything. Yes. And in this world, there is nothing better than millet. When the grain qi flourishes, the Gu will be hidden, the grain will not become Gu, and people will benefit from eating it.”

"So as human beings, we like to eat grains the most. In the same way, as a gentleman, we should choose a virtuous gentleman to be close to during the day, as if we become wise by eating millet. And at night, we should rest with a virtuous woman And be restrained, so as to avoid bewitching. Nowadays, Jinhou's side, getting close to women day and night, is like eating Gu worms instead of enjoying grains. Therefore, naturally, he will not be as smart as a person who eats grains gone."

This metaphor is more vivid than the metaphor used by Yihe in Lingtai Palace.However, after all, it is still "discussing politics".

Everyone knows that this doctor and today are clearly on the line, and it depends on whether Zhao Wu can take over this.

And Zichan and Li Ran who were on the side heard these words, and they couldn't help but secretly nodded in agreement.

Zhao Wu naturally listened to it, and he had already guessed about Yihe's intention in his heart.I couldn't help thinking to myself: Well, there is something in your words, it seems that you can't vomit quickly.Why don't I just let you talk about it?
So, Zhao Wu stroked his beard again, and asked directly:

"Then...according to what Mister sees, how long can the widow live?"

The problem went full circle, and eventually came back again.

The so-called "a good minister will die, but the sky cannot protect him, and a prince will lose his princes if he does not die." Obviously, this good minister is Zhao Wu, and the prince is naturally the Marquis of Jin.

And Zhao Wubian didn't ask about his own life expectancy, but only asked about the king's.In this way, it also reflects his loyalty to the monarch and the country. On the other hand, it is also to prevent rumors about his lifespan from spreading secretly, causing panic in the Jin country.

How could Yihe not understand Zhao Wu's thoughts?After hearing the sound, he laughed out loud for no reason, and after he calmed down, he stroked his beard and said:
"If the princes still obey the state of Jin, they can live for up to three years. If the princes refuse to obey, it will not exceed ten years at most. If it exceeds this limit, it will be a disaster for the state of Jin."

After hearing this, Zhao Wu fell into deep thought.

As for Zi Chan and Li Ran beside them, they couldn't help being surprised after hearing this.

No wonder Qin Bo dared to send him to see a doctor for the Marquis of Jin. Even Li Ran felt inferior to this sharp remonstrance.

These words, these words of Yihe, sound very mysterious on the surface.However, if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find that he has actually reversed all the "cause and effect" relationships.

The true meaning of this is: If your Jin country continues to be so stupid, within three years, the princes will definitely abandon Jin; if the Jin princes are still so ignorant, their life expectancy will not exceed ten years at most.

Is it more fluent to speak like this?But Yihe didn't say that.

At this time, Li Ran also called "awesome" in his heart.

In fact, this is mainly because doctors and doctors really see it too clearly.If he speaks well, not only will no one take it seriously, but he will also be accused of groundless "nonsense" because he is too harsh.

Therefore, this doctor and he just doesn't talk to you well, but just plays tricks on you and reverses cause and effect.But this principle, as long as you think about it carefully, you can always understand it.

And this is the words of these "orderly" people.

Although Zhao Wu is old, he is not confused.In fact, he knows best that what Yihe said is not without reason.

Since he was seriously ill and let Han Qi take charge of the country, Jin's internal and external policies have been out of balance.The meeting in Pingqiu, the aid to defend the country, and even the subsequent meeting in Guodi were all unsatisfactory.

Is this his fault?
Obviously yes.

Han Qi's ability is obviously just that, but he still wants to hand over the ruling power of Jin to Han Qi after all.Isn't this obviously wrong for the country?

Now, facing Yihe's "accusations" and "sarcasm", let alone refutation, even if you want to find an excuse to wash yourself off, you can't do it.

"Thank you sir for speaking bluntly. It seems...it's time for Wu to pull himself together."

Zhao Wu sat up straight slowly, and his eyes became sharper in an instant.

If he can maintain Jin's hegemony for the first eight years, then he is naturally confident that he can maintain it for the next eight years.

He, Zhao Wu, experienced the catastrophe of genocide, and grew from an orphan to today's chief minister of a country. Both his courage and his skills are top-notch.

"Sir, today's words are as loud as thunder, and the thunder is astonishing. This old man has been taught."

"Come on, big reward!"

Zhao Wu didn't have any pretensions. After being awakened by Yihe's words, he immediately felt ashamed, and hurriedly ordered someone to bring some valuables to reward Yihe, and sent him out respectfully.

It is rare for a country's chief minister to see off a guest in person.

Seeing this, Zichan and Li Ran nodded slightly, admiring Zhao Wu's mind and tolerance.

Not long after, Zhao Wu left and returned again.

"What the doctor said just now is very reasonable. It seems that the old man really should come forward to take care of this matter of Chu State."

Facing the current complicated situation in various countries, although he has lived in the mansion for a long time, he is not ignorant of everything.

The matter of the prince besieging the domineering and expelling his younger brother, and the matter of Zheng Yi's marriage and engagement, have also been heard for a long time.Now that he is going to hold an alliance in Guodi, he seems to be the hegemon of the Central Plains. Where does this make him put the face of the state of Jin?
"Come on, go and invite the uncle to the doctor."

Since this matter needs to be dealt with, it is natural to find Yang Tongue to discuss it.

"Nowadays, the two countries of Jin and Zheng are of the same spirit, and then I would like to ask you two to know everything and talk endlessly."

Afterwards, Zhao Wu bowed his hands to Zichan and Li Ran again, without any airs of the chief minister of Jin.

Seeing this, Zichan and Li Ran quickly returned the gift, and Zichan said:

"Qiao came to Jin this time for this purpose, so he should do his best."

"It is also true."

In the eighth year now, there has been no chaos in the state of Jin, and there are no vassals. It can be said to be good. He heard that the minister of the country is honored. If there is a calamity and disaster, but there is no change, you must bear the blame. Today, the king is so promiscuous that he will not be able to show mercy to the community. What is the greatest disaster! The Lord cannot resist, I think so." Zhao Meng said: "What is a Gu?" Confronted: "It is also born of obscenity and confusion. In the text, the dish insect is a Gu. The flying of the valley is also a Gu. In "Book of Changes", a woman seduces a man, and the wind falls into the mountain, which is called "" Gu "Three. They are all the same thing." Zhao Meng said: "A good doctor." Return it with courtesy. —— "Zuo Zhuan Year of Zhao Gong"
