Jiwang Palace, Beigong Ruilin Pavilion.

When King Ji returned to the palace, it was still early, so he entered the cabinet to manage the government.

The rivers and seas were frozen, and the ministers and ministers stopped the court. However, national affairs must not be cut off. The prime ministers and subordinates all had internal affairs and diplomacy, and they were reported by the Nangong Shaofu organized and plundered, and the Secretary-General personally sent to the Beigong. Every day was not sent.

Because King Ji left early and returned late, the Eighth Prince also came to pay a visit after King Ji returned to the palace.

Previously, King Ji taught me and it was useless to learn. The Eight Princes each had their own experiences. Today, I came here to ask what I learned.

The eldest son Liu Feng said, "Zhuangzi Lie Yukou" says: 'The clever ones who are hardworking and knowing are worried, and the incompetent ones who have nothing to ask for. They are full of food and travel, and they are like boats that are not tied, and they are empty and traveling.' I dare to ask my father, if he learns but is useless, what should he do to explain it?"

"What's my son thinking?" King Ji asked replies without answering.

"We all have our own thoughts and no conclusions." Liu Feng replied.

"Let's say it." King Ji asked with a smile.

"Here." Liu Feng and the eight princes told their own experiences.

After listening to it, King Ji did not comment: "The famous ancient poems were passed down to the Han dynasties. What is their meaning? Each school has its own words, which is called 'family law'. Law is the art. Family law, and the (learning) art of each school. Therefore, there are many schools of thought, and there is no conclusion. Therefore, he was appointed as a great scholar in the country, gathered the strengths of each school, and compiled the "Great Encyclopedia" and unified the hundreds of schools." Looking around the scholars, King Ji was very good at temptation: "It means 'the benevolent people have a different opinion, and the wise people have a clear view'. What should he do if he is a king?"

The Eight Princes each had their own thoughts. After a while, Liu Feng said, "As a king, one should make the skillful work, and the wise worry. The incompetent ones can feed and have nothing to ask for."

King Ji smiled and said, "Does my son know what is the 'incompetent'?"

"Lao Tzu said: 'Great straightness is like bend, great cleverness is like clumsy, great eloquence is like dullness.' Those who are incompetent are those who are inaction." Liu Feng replied.

King Ji smiled happily and said, "My son's intention is useless. Uselessness may be of great use. 'The form of someone, no one's feelings. 'The form of someone, so it is crowded with others; 'There is no one's feelings, so it cannot be right or wrong in the body (note ①)', so it is called 'empty'. '(I) the so-called ruthlessness (talk about people) does not harm the body internally by their likes and dislikes, and often does not benefit from nature (note ②)', so it is called 'Aoyou'. 'The person who is empty and travels' means 'the talent is complete but virtue is not manifest (note ③)'."

"Does my father agree?" Liu Feng asked.

"The king meets the king." King Ji smiled and said, "The king receives food from heaven and takes food from the people. Therefore, he has nothing to ask for. He makes the 'powerful work'."

"If you don't ask for anything, those who can do it more." Liu Feng's eyes seemed to have a divine light: "It's 'The king sees the king'."

"That's right." King Ji nodded gently.

"Son, please be taught." The Eighth Prince spoke in unison.

When the Eighth Prince surrendered, Concubine Shi asked with a smile: "Dare you ask your husband, what do you mean?"

"There is no other." King Ji replied: "The kind of benevolence is the kind, the wise are the wise, and the king is the king."

"The benevolent, the wise, the wise, the wise, the incompetent, and the wandering." Concubine An practiced both Buddhism and Taoism, and was born in the palace, and had his own experience: "As a king, one can make 'people use their talents and use their strength', which is to 'the capable of working hard'."

"So that's it." Concubine Ma also realized something.

What King Ji said is a position. Standing from the king's standpoint and looking at the world's ultimate truth is the correct explanation for the Eighth Prince's "learning but useless".

As we all know, due to many differences in country, race, class, status, and knowledge, the perspectives of things vary from person to person. It is like there are many schools of thought and there is no conclusion in various schools of thought. As a result, we must first and then investigate, and each tests the family law. It is also the true meaning of the Han Dynasty's investigation system: "Students test family law, and civil servants' lecture notes and report them."

King Ji was born. Therefore, he followed the heavens and never went against the heavens. As for the current situation, the imperial examination system had no soil for survival. He planted it rashly and died without waiting for the seedlings to grow.

Some people say that if a young man from ten miles ago is still invincible, he will be unable to stop the king of a country when he ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne.

What is the truth?

No. Nowadays, foreign relatives, eunuchs, party members, and fight endlessly. The young ministers are strong, and the empress dowager is the norm. For example, the general Liang Ji even poisons the young emperor if he has disagreement. Even the traitor Dong Zhuo also abolished the establishment and poisons the young emperor. The emperor's life is still difficult to save. Why do you say that you are resistant to the public? One word is a matter of no way.

If you don’t believe it, please read it, Hongdu Gate study.

Liu Bei secretly thought that the original intention of the founding of Hongdumen School was not to be the public in the world. He wanted to cultivate his confidants, and then put them in courts and places, gradually replace the scholars and officials, especially the party members, and then seize the power of the government for his own selfishness.

In order to break the academic monopoly of the gentry, the students recruited and the coursework of the Hongdumen were all completely opposite to those of the Taixue. Most students were from the poor and used their letters and poems to recruit scholars. All students from the Hongdumen were treated preferentially. They were awarded high-ranking officials and generous salaries. They were appointed as governors, prefects, and became ministers, ministers, ministers, marquis, and titles. Many people were there. Many benefits made the Hongdumen's school prosperous and had as many as a thousand students.

This move has both pros and cons.

On the one hand, it promoted the development of literature and calligraphy, and even the transformation of literary styles from the Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin Dynasties. On the other hand, using "skills to enter the government" did not have the talent for governing the country, nor did it worry about the virtues of the people. For example, the governor of Yizhou, Huang Jian, who levyed violent taxes, was greedy for the rebellion and was a disaster, and the poison was harsh.

Cai Yong made suggestions that he would not give power to the students of Hongdu without giving power. King Ji thought it was very reasonable.

The Hongdu Gate School was prospered because of the late emperor and was abolished because of the late emperor.

It can be seen that the imperial power is also deeply constrained.

In fact, emperors never talked about the Nine Cauldrons in all dynasties. Needless to say, the Han and Tang Dynasties. For example, the Ming Dynasty also had a cabinet system. After the cabinet bill was drafted, it was presented to the emperor for imperial review. Therefore, for example, Jiajing, Wanli and others, they did not cede for decades, and the Ming Dynasty's politics also operated as usual.

Let’s ask. When will the Han emperor become a life-and-death person? One word is a catastrophe.

I personally think it was the Qing Dynasty.

The slave remnants of the "tribal patriarchy" rapid "feudal monarchy". The people are treated like slaves. For example, cattle and horses are all private property. Therefore, they can be obtained and sought.

Even the servitude and charm of the superiors are all the servitude and unrestrained nature of the slave.

The slave nature is so slack that he is willing to accept it. How can we imagine the Han style of "If you treat me with a national soldier, I will repay you with a national soldier; if you treat me with a passerby, I will repay you with a passerby; if you treat me with a mustard of grass, I will repay you with a enemy."

The Five Barbarians invaded China. The remaining poison is so fierce that it is thirsty.

After much thought, King Ji sighed.

Great responsibilities are given to heaven. You must not repeat the same mistakes.

Otherwise, why change your name to Liu Bei? Wouldn't it be better to call Liu Ping?

My thoughts were like wild horses that broke away from their reins. The bell rang without realizing it. The belly was hungry. King Ji calmed down and went to Wuji Palace to have a meal.

Later, I took all the concubines to enjoy the Qushui Wen Tang. I then entered the Hehuan Hall, and the seven-layer mandarin duck bed was covered with a mandarin duck bed. I was lucky to have the seven concubines and two female fairies.
