Who is the world

"But it can't really achieve Datong." Feng Zhihen nodded, "What if etiquette and law go hand in hand?"

"Etiquette and law have their own advantages and disadvantages. Once they are in parallel, they can complement each other. But the essence of etiquette is restraint. It is difficult to popularize, and it will never become the aspiration of everyone.”

"What kind of person doesn't want to?"

"For those who are willing to be mediocre and those at the bottom of society, Datong is a happy land, and they will celebrate it with their foreheads and hands; for those who are ambitious and arrogant, how can they be willing to be equal; , and how many people are willing to delegate their power, sit on an equal footing with farmers and businessmen, and be that mediocre person?"

"Disputes stem from ambition, and ambition stems from power. What power seeks is nothing more than survival needs. Once everyone is rich, how can there be disputes?"

"It's a pity that the supplies are limited."

"What if there are enough supplies and everyone has enough food and clothing?"

"People's hearts are not enough, food and clothing are thoughtful, mortals love and hate, love and hate, infatuation, hatred and poison, seven emotions and six desires, parents and brothers in a small family are still at odds, let alone a country of great people."

"Education and persuasion from childhood, cultivation of life and character."

"Even if the character can be taught, the justice that Datong seeks is regardless of power and authority. Everyone works and distributes. The material comes from hard work, cold winter and hot summer, regardless of wind and rain; what's more, it has nothing to do with dignity or lowliness. Caring about the dirt and tiredness of the work itself is beyond human ability."

"Working in rotation can show fairness."

"Fairness is manifested, but the overuse of talent and slow production lead to a long way to go to get rich."

"Use talents according to their abilities, perform their own duties, and share wealth equally."

"Equally divided by everyone, over time, power breeds, and it will definitely deteriorate. Those who like to get something for nothing, plan and act, and engage in malpractice. Public affairs cannot be maintained."

Feng Zhihen frowned and thought deeply, and said: "The law of heavy codes is above all else, and everyone supervises it."

"Heavy codes and constraints, treat the symptoms but not the root cause. The road to great harmony will become a bloody road. What's more, the boundaries of races are difficult to cross. What you want is not what others want."

"At the end of the day, it's still about differences in people's hearts. Everyone has selfishness." Feng Zhihen frowned slightly, "Since we can't take care of both, there must be trade-offs. What should we do?"

"Looking at the world, adapt to the situation, the time has not come, don't force it, don't rush to achieve it; what the destiny returns, the blessings and misfortunes of the future are unpredictable. Leaders, focus on the future, strive to create a peaceful world, and avoid unnecessary sacrifices."

"It's better to focus on the front!" Feng Zhihen smiled and cupped his hands, "Feng is willing to bow down."

"Assignment."

"Soldiers, a major event for the country. Zuo He Jingming dare to ask the prince why he does not harm others, wins first and then seeks war?" ⑤

"A person with a form and a body without a form can see the depths, and a wise man cannot seek them out. This is false and real. Use order to wait for chaos, use tranquility to wait for commotion, use loss to wait for work, and use food to wait for hunger. This is a military struggle; show it if you can Impossible, use it to show it not to use it, use it to show it not to use it, use it to show it not to use it, use it to show it is far away, use it to show it is far away, use it to show it is far away, use it to show it is near, use it to lure it, use it to grab it, prepare it for reality, avoid it when it is strong, scratch it when it is angry, scratch it when it is angry, be proud of it when it is humble, It is also a strategy to take advantage of one's own initiative and keep the enemy passive. In this way, the addition of soldiers is like throwing eggs in spare time." ⑥

"If you have the initiative in your hands, how do you guard against a reversal of the situation?"

"Victory due to the enemy. Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, and the changes of the right and the right are used. It is difficult to distinguish the false from the real, and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false. To confuse the enemy and win. The meaning is to follow the enemy with ink and decide the battle."⑦

"If the enemy takes advantage of the favorable conditions first, how should one's own respond?"

"First, take away the morale of the enemy and boost one's own energy, this is to cure the qi. Second, the heart is the master of it; anger can be insulted quickly, honesty can be insulted, and love for the people can be annoying, this is to cure the heart. ⑧The other Three, branch-shaped, although the enemy is beneficial to us, I can't get out, and lead away, making the enemy halfway out and attack the advantage; narrow-shaped, do not follow when it is full, follow it if it is not full; But go, don't follow it. Scattered ground means no fighting, light ground means no stopping, contested ground means no attack, intersecting ground means no end, intersecting ground means intercourse, heavy ground means plundering, open ground means marching, enclosing ground means no end. If you want to plot, you will fight to the death."⑨

"If the situation is serious and there is no way back, what should we do?"

"Throw it into death and then survive, sink into death and then live."⑩

"Fight with your back, you will survive the dead!" Zuo He Jingming bowed deeply, "Your Majesty is so talented and powerful."

"Thanks to Zamel."

"I don't know if we can compete with the prince again in the future?"

"Xu is honored."

"I will ask the prince for advice on how to be a minister."

"Be sensitive to things but cautious in words."⑾

……

Facing the crowd's pressing step by step, Xu Zixu always responded calmly.

Chu Yi, who was seated first, also listened quietly from beginning to end, without saying a word.

"Why is it wise?" Another person asked.

This is difficult to sum up in a few words, but Xu Zixu only answered these few words simply: "Knowing what you know is knowing, not knowing what you don't know is wisdom."⑿

"Hahaha..." Chu Yi suddenly laughed.

Seeing this, the questioner bowed and stepped back to his seat.

"Are you satisfied?" Chu Yi looked around and asked with a smile.

Everyone got up one after another, bowed their hands and saluted, expressing their submission.

Chu Yi smiled again: "Everyone sit down."

Everyone took their seats, Chu Yi's light eyes rested on Xu Zixu, the latter looked at him, and finally took the seat next to the first seat.

"Then let's begin."

The monthly regular meeting was originally an extremely confidential matter, but Chu Yi did not shy away from Xu Zixu's presence. Gradually, seeing His Highness's attitude, everyone slowly let go.

Although Xu Zixu got a certain degree of approval from them, and even got the courtesy of Chu Yi, he didn't take the initiative to participate, but just listened calmly, his elegant face was calm and unwavering.

He knew in his heart that the other party was actually testing him through wave after wave of inquiries from his subordinates.As for letting him attend the meeting, I am afraid that there are other deep considerations.

When the matter came to an end, everyone left in file.

"You say, His Highness really values ​​him so much?"

"The key should be that His Highness can really trust him?"

"Although talented, after all, he is only a prisoner of the first rank. Why should he be equal to His Highness?"

"In addition to other things, how many people are there in the world who are so proud and bony, especially in the presence of others, especially in the face of our highness who can't express his emotions and anger, and can still maintain his indifferent demeanor?"

"This……"

"Your Highness's actions have their own reasons, why should we speculate."

"Let's go! I'm going to arrange the next tasks. Let's take my leave now."

"Please."

Everyone parted ways and dealt with affairs by themselves, and there were only two people left with them.

"It's just, have you ever heard that that person always treats His Highness coldly, but His Highness treats that person with sincerity—this seems to imply a crisis..."

"Yeah! If you want to rise to the top, here's a word for you."

"what?"

"To know what you know, to know what you don't know, is wisdom."

"you!"

"Ah! Drink! Go drink..." As he spoke, he scratched his head and walked away with his hands behind his back.

"Hmph! Good job, you Wind Scar!" The person who was left alone snorted coldly, and walked in the opposite direction with a flick of his sleeve.

When everything was quiet, a cyan figure slowly stepped out from the corner, looking at the empty corridor with a calm expression.

If it's not Xu Zixu, whoever it is, just now they heard every word they said.

Do you want to wait...

Although Xu Zixu is in prison now, but he was Chaoyang's thirteenth prince after all, and he was the king of Jing who was under one man and above ten thousand people. Naturally, he has his arrogance, so how could he really be subservient to Chu Yi's subordinates?Unconsciously, the faint royal demeanor will be revealed, not to mention his cold appearance is another expression of arrogance?

Chu Yi seemed to be on an equal footing with him and was treated extremely favorably, but what would other people think?Now, after all, he is already under his command, isn't he...

His identity, his origin, was originally a estrangement, coupled with his disrespect to their Highness, undoubtedly created more grievances, if he really wanted to go deep into it, this layer of grievances would definitely be an obstacle.

What's more, nine out of ten of the man's words are unbelievable.

Recently, it seems that I have indulged myself a little...

Xu Zixu raised his head slightly and looked towards the sky.

"Why are you standing here?" A mellow voice sounded beside him, as gentle and shallow as a breeze blowing across a lake, without a trace of ripples, but with an almost imperceptible depth.

Xu Zixu was startled, but he didn't notice when he came. He adjusted his mood, turned to face the visitor, and said with eyebrows raised, "Your Highness!"

Chu Yi was slightly taken aback, glanced at him, didn't say anything about it, strode forward two steps, stopped again, turned his back to Xu Zixu, and opened up another topic: "Leaving now, there is still time."

Surprised by the endless words, Xu Zixu immediately understood what he was referring to, and smiled slightly: "Does His Highness not trust Xu, or His Highness himself?"

Chu Yi turned around abruptly and stared at him with an unprecedentedly serious expression: "You have also seen that the undercurrent is turbulent around me. If I stay here, I may be doomed. I will give you a chance to think about it now, so you can think about it clearly."

If I leave, I can reunite with my family, and let me travel far and wide from now on. This is a picture that makes people's heart beat no matter what, but——

"Your Highness is still advancing bravely, without hindrance and without fear, so how can Xu have any reason to retreat?" Xu Zixu returned calmly, calmly and fearlessly.

Chu Yi stared fixedly at him, and suddenly smiled, with a serious expression on his face: "If that's the case, then be a mandarin duck with the same fate as me."

Xu Zixu's face darkened, and he was about to explode again. After thinking about it, he restrained himself immediately, and his expression and behavior became more restrained.

"Meet Your Highness! Prince!"

"What's the matter?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, an order has come from the palace, and His Highness will enter the palace immediately to return to his command. The messenger will go to the Xiaochun Villa in the outer city after guessing the incense stick."

"Go down." Chu Yi stood with his hands behind his back, and smiled inexplicably, "It's so fast!"

Xu Zixu remained silent, his mood turned. It seems that the eyes of all parties in the royal city are all over the place!

"I'll go to the other hall right away, and I'll trouble you once Qin Lou gets caught."

"Don't dare. I'll go right away."

Xu Zixu leaned down slightly, and when he turned to leave, Chu Yi suddenly stopped him: "Wait."

"What are your orders, Your Highness?"

Chu Yi looked at the person in front of him with lowered brows and restrained eyes, and after a long time said softly: "You don't have to do this to me..."

Xu Zixu moved his eyelashes slightly, remained silent, and bowed to leave.

Chu Yi squinted slightly to see him retreat, and his expression became dark.
