Zi Wen said from the side: "Zizheng, please don't hold back your words." Xiao Yi said, "Zizheng is outspoken and outspoken. Don't be surprised. Don't be surprised. Yesterday, the Queen Mother passed away in the palace. All the people in Handan City were dressed in mourning clothes. The Queen Mother observed a moment of silence, and of course I am no exception, so please come in first and then talk."
They entered the temple together. Xiao Yi stood in front of the table and kowtowed to the portrait of Confucius. Behind him, Zizheng and Ziwen bowed together. Xiao Yi faced Zizheng and Ziwen. Zizheng and Ziwen bowed and said, "Sir." Xiao Yi returned the greeting and said, "Please sit down." Zizheng and Ziwen sat on both sides. Xiao Yi just sat down and faced Zizheng and said: "Zizheng, I heard that you couldn't bear to see the suffering of the people in Jinyang, so you built houses for the people and gave porridge to the people of Jinyang. Is that so?" Zizheng was a little dissatisfied. "Is there anything wrong in implementing your benevolence and righteousness in Jinyang?" Xiao Yi said: "You are not wrong, but the method is inappropriate. Where do you put the king in the implementation of benevolence in Jinyang? The people only remember You are so good but you don’t know the king. Why do you do this to win over the hearts of insects? You are suspected of overstepping your bounds." The man who said these words was at a loss and said: "Sir, I, I..." The little ant continued: "The king, the king, the ministers, the father, the son, the son, are the principles of the Tao. The king has what a king should do, ministers have what ministers should do, a father has what a father should do, and a son has what a son should do. The elder and the younger are superior and inferior. In an orderly manner. The ministers advise the king to be lenient in governing the people, develop production, and reward farming and war. This is what ministers should do. Your sharp edge is too exposed, which will be very detrimental to your future career as an official." Zi Zheng looked at Xiao Yi and said, "Sir, I have written it down."
Xiao Yi was giving lectures in Zhangshui. Like Confucius, he founded a private school and continued the idea of teaching without distinction. Since Zizheng and Ziwen guarded Taiyuan and defeated the Zhongshan Kingdom in Taiyuan, they became famous. Their disciples could earn up to hundreds of insects. Every disciple who entered the school had to pay teaching fees. At that time, the tuition fee was dried meat. This is why To rectify the name of Xiaoyi. There was a young man from a wealthy family who was quite wealthy because he had been doing business for many years. He heard that Xiao Yi was giving lectures in Zhangshui, so he came here to worship Xiao Yi as his teacher. The little ant was giving lectures under the apricot tree in front of the mountain temple, and his disciples were sitting cross-legged in front of him. Whenever they had something they didn't understand, Little Ant Yiyi would explain it to them, making them very convinced.
A luxury car passed by and stopped. A young master stepped out of the luxury car. The servant driving the car came forward and said: "Young Master." The young master pushed the servant away and walked forward. He looked at these disciples very arrogantly. Said: "Sir, I am Shang Fu, Wei Guochong. I heard that you are quite famous in Zhao State. I have a question that I would like to ask Mr. Yu. Sir, are you willing to answer my question?" Zizheng stepped forward and pulled out the long hair from his waist. Sword, he threatened: "How dare you be rude to Sir." All the disciples stood up angrily and said: "Get out, this is where Sir teaches, don't make mistakes, get out." Shang Fu took a few steps back and said: " I don’t know if this is the way you treat guests or the way you treat guests.” The little ant said, “It’s great to have friends from far away.” He then looked at these disciples and said, “You are always so angry. Sit down." Zizheng bowed to Xiao Yi and said, "Sir." Then he stepped down and sat in his seat. Xiao Yi faced Shang Fu with a smile and said: "Shang Fu, if you have any questions, just ask." Shang Fu stood between these disciples and asked: "The princes are fighting for hegemony, the rituals are broken, and the people are in ruins. In today's world, In troubled times, insects and others are striving for fame and profit at all costs. Why do you insist on sticking to your so-called great way?" Xiao Yi said: "Chong Chong learns from it and becomes a gentleman, realizes the return of benevolence to the world, and strives for the great harmony of the world." Shang Fu added Asked: "What is a gentleman?" The little ant said: "When I was down and out, I often dreamed of the Master in my dreams, and I also asked the Master. Later, I saw some of the Master's disciples summarizing the remarks that the Master taught us. You can Put it this way, a gentleman should take the great road as his ambition, take virtue as the foundation, rely on benevolence, and take the six arts as his cultivation." Shang Fu asked again: "What is benevolence?" The little ant replied: "The love of all things. Between creatures and insects, they will be filial, loyal and forgiving, and generous to all." After hearing this, Shang Fu was very convinced and said: "Sir, I still have a question to ask you, sir, can you answer it for me?" Little Yi Said: "If you have any questions, just ask." Shang Fu asked: "What is Datong?" Xiao Yi replied: "When traveling on the great road, the world is for the common good. Select the talented and capable, keep faith and cultivate harmony." Shang Fu asked He immediately knelt down and bowed, then raised his head and said, "Sir, please accept me as your disciple." Xiao Yi said, "Okay, Shang Fu, please take a seat." Shang Fu turned around and looked behind him. , Zi Zheng moved a seat, Shang Fu came in and sat down, continuing to listen to Xiao Yi's lecture.
At this time, a big event happened in Zhongshan Kingdom. A few months later, General Cockroach's strength increased greatly, and his army of cockroaches grew to millions. There is no emperor above the court, let alone these ministers. Relying on the support of Qin State, one hand covers the sky above the court. General Cockroach swaggered into the court, looked at King Zhongshan with his head held high, and said: "Your Majesty." The ministers all rushed forward, criticizing him verbally and in writing, and said angrily: "How dare you be so rude to your Majesty. ." General Cockroach turned around, pulled out the scimitar from his waist, and scolded the ministers: "My sword has not tasted insect blood for a long time. You might as well give it a try and sacrifice your blood to my sword." He said. After that, he raised his sword and killed a minister. The King of Zhongshan said: "If you dare to kill Gu's ministers, Gu will punish you." General Cockroach walked up with the scimitar in his hand pointed upward and said: "You dare to punish me. I have heard that you discussed with these ministers. Considering how to kill me, I, the general, went to the court to kill these bewildering ministers for your Majesty. Your Majesty, do you know the good intentions of this general?" Faced with General Cockroach's pressing step by step, King Zhongshan nodded quickly and said: "I know the general's loyalty." General Cockroach stood beside King Zhongshan, facing these ministers, and said: "Whoever dares to deceive the king in the future will be like this thief." Then he stepped down and walked away.
Today their king was humiliated, and the ministers were heartbroken when they saw it. A minister stood up and cried: "Your Majesty! What a shame! What a shame! What a shame." King Zhongshan said helplessly: "Now that I am alone and weak, how can I get rid of this powerful traitor?" The minister stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, please quickly summon General Changfeng to return to the court. This can save the crisis!" King Zhongshan said: "Okay, I will issue an order to summon General Changfeng to return to the court."
A partial general found out the news, secretly entered the general's mansion, met with General Cockroach, and said: "General, the king has ordered to recall General Changfeng to get rid of you." General Cockroach asked: "What is the general's strategy?" The partial general replied Said: "Strike first to be stronger. Tomorrow the king will go out hunting, this is our chance to strike." General Cockroach stepped forward very excitedly and said: "Okay, okay, let's strike first to be stronger. You can lead the soldiers to pretend The thieves are lying in ambush on the outskirts of the city, and I will lead the army to attack the palace." The general kowtowed and said, "I will accept your order." General Cockroach said, "Go down quickly and make arrangements. You have to act quickly, otherwise things will change if you are late." Then he turned around and looked in his eyes. He was very insidious and said: "My lord! This is your unkindness. Don't blame me for being unjust."
The next day, King Zhongshan led his guards and his followers out of the city to hunt. After they ran out of Gucheng, General Cockroach led his army to ambush outside Gucheng. Shooting the guards on the city tower, rushing into the Zhongshan Palace, and beheading the ministers. When these ministers looked at the advancing army, they suddenly panicked and ran away in all directions. Many ministers fell under the butcher's knives of these soldiers. There was a chaos in the palace. Blood spattered everywhere and dyed the water red. They were either pushed into the pool and drowned alive, or fell into a pool of blood in the corner of the palace wall. Bodies lay scattered inside and outside the palace. The regicide coup began to stage the bloodiest scene again, which was a common occurrence in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The army surrounded some ministers. General Cockroach drove his chariot out slowly, stepped down from the chariot, walked up the stone steps, and stood in front of the palace hall. Facing these ministers, he said: "You are bewitching the king to kill him." You are simply committing an unforgivable crime by killing the general." A minister stood up and accused General Cockroach: "Traitor, if you disobey me, you will be pierced by random arrows and die in the future. Traitor, please dig out our eyes after we die. Hanging out on the city tower, we want to see how you die." General Cockroach faced them and said: "Death." A soldier pulled out his sword, and then he raised the sword and dropped it, only to see blood spattering. The ministers nearby began to feel a little scared, and no one dared to come out and say a few words. A junior minister came forward, bowed his head, begged for mercy in front of General Cockroach, and said with a dirty look: "General, when we cut weeds, we must get rid of the roots, otherwise there will be endless troubles!" These ministers all accused it and said: "Stinging Bee" , you, your seller seeks glory." The stinging bee turned around and said: "This is abandoning darkness and turning to the light." Then he knelt down to General Cockroach, smiled evilly, and said: "Your Majesty." General Cockroach put the scimitar in its sheath and pressed the handle. He stepped forward and asked, "Why are you called so?" The stinging bee said ingratiatingly, "Your Majesty, your martial arts can stabilize the country, and you are wise and powerful. How long will it take if you don't ascend the throne now?" General Cockroach was amused by these words. Yi Le said: "No, no, the king is still here. He ascended the throne at this time to commit rebellion. This general only entered the palace to serve as the Qing emperor's side." Then he faced the army and said: "Sirs, let's go out of the city to welcome the king back to the court. The stinging bee praised him greatly and said, "General, you are loyal and righteous."
King Zhongshan stood on the chariot and saw a hare emerging from the grass. He drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and the arrow feathers flew out, alarming the hare and running towards the dense forest. King Zhongshan drove a chariot and led his guards to chase after him. They happened to hit the ambush circle they had set up in advance. Random arrows flew out from the dense forest and penetrated the armor. The soldiers fell off their horses one after another. The King of Zhongshan panicked and shouted: "There are insects stabbing, there are insects stabbing, protect them, come and protect them." Many bandits rushed out of the dense forest, drew their steel knives and rushed towards them. These personal guards had not gone through battle formations. Each of these bandits had experienced hundreds of battles. The guards were quickly cut off from their horses. The king of Zhongshan was escaping in his car, but the general came out slowly on his horse, drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and the arrow feathers flew out, hitting King Zhongshan's vest, causing him to fall down and die immediately.
General Cockroach arrived with his army, and the thieves immediately fled into the dense forest and disappeared. General Cockroach stood on the chariot, pretending to be shocked, and shouted: "Your Majesty," and then jumped off the chariot in a hurry, ran forward and shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" King Zhongshan was hit by an arrow in his vest. In the grass, my body was already cold. General Cockroach burst into tears and said: "Your Majesty, you were kind to me, but I couldn't repay you, so you left first. It's too late for the end to come, it's too late for the end to come, my king!" All the ministers stood aside. , stood aside coldly. The stinging bee stepped forward and said: "The king died unexpectedly. This is not the fault of the general. General, please show your condolences." General Cockroach stood up slowly, secretly showing a cold smile and said: "Give the king a good burial. Bury him in the royal mausoleum. There are many ancestors in the past." Accompanied by the late king." General Cockroach turned to look at the troops and called out: "Where is General Cockroach Zhu?" General Piao put on a suit of armor in the dense forest and ran out of the dense forest, saying: "Here is my subordinate. "General Cockroach looked at the general and asked: "The king was assassinated, can you find out what kind of insect was responsible?" The general replied: "The general does not know, bandits are rampant in the Zhongshan Kingdom. According to the inference, today these The thief appears in the royal garden to assassinate the king, there must be a conspiracy."
