Above the Zhao Kingdom's court. Zhao Wangyong received the border report from Jinyang and sat in front of several cases to discuss with the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs. Zhao Wangyong faced the ministers and said: "Last night, I received a report from the border. There is a severe drought in Jinyang. Who should be sent to control Jinyang? What insect do you recommend to me? Feel free to report it." Yang is located on the border of Zhao State, with Loufan, Xiongnu, and Zhongshan State and other ethnic minority regimes to the north. The ethnic minorities in the north conquered Yanmen County and Yunzhong County, which led to Jinyang. It was also close to the Zhongshan Kingdom and was often harassed by these ethnic minorities. Although Jinyang has a dangerous terrain and is easy to defend but difficult to attack, it is a good military location. Because of the terrain of Zhao State, it moved eastward to Zhongmu in the southeast. Zhongmu was close to Wei State, and finally moved to Handan, which was far away from Wei State. Many ethnic minority regimes want to attack Zhao State, and Jinyang will be the first to bear the brunt. Jinyang has become a war-prone place, and no official is willing to go to Jinyang. The ministers above the court were unworthy of recommendation and remained silent, only looking at Prime Minister Bai Ding. Zhao Wangyong could only look at Xiangguo Baiding and asked: "Uncle Wang, I wonder if you have any insects you can recommend?" Xiangguo Baiding stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Zhu Haiying, the magistrate of Mengxian County, has quite a political achievement in Mengxian County. Zhu Haiyan was transferred to the post of Jinyang County Governor, and he and General Daoyan were responsible for the important military and political affairs of Jinyang." After hearing this, Zhao Wangyong agreed, called out the eunuch's order, and said: "Go to Jinyang to declare the decree." The commander took over Zhao Wangyong's order, exited Zhao Palace and went to Meng County.
The eunuch ordered the driver to drive out of Handan City and arrive at Meng County. Entering the Mengxian county government office, he said: "The magistrate of Mengxian County came forward to receive the order." The magistrate of Mengxian County rushed out and knelt down, saying: "I will accept the order." The eunuch ordered to stand in front of the magistrate of Mengxian County, Opening the edict of Zhao Wangyong, he read out: "By God's blessing, during the governance of Meng County, I was diligent and accomplished, which is my comfort. Zhu Haiyan, the magistrate of Meng County, was granted the title of Jinyang County If you keep it, you can go to Jinyang. Don't delay. Cooperate with General Dao Yan to handle the military and political affairs. Don't let down the expectations of the few insects. I appreciate this." The magistrate of Meng County kowtowed and said, "My king will live forever." Then he stood up. The eunuch ordered him to stand aside and said, "Congratulations to Zhu Dachong for his promotion." Zhu Aiyi said, "Congratulations together, congratulations together."
The next day, Zhu Haiyan led one of his servants and drove to Jinyang.
On this day, Xiao Yi was about to leave Jinyang. The little ant prayed for happy rain for the people of Jinyang. The people of Jinyang were very grateful to it and asked the most knowledgeable gentleman in Jinyang City to write a plaque with the inscription: "Insect Saint of Literary Circle". Beating gongs and drums, they slowly walked towards the general's palace and gathered in front of the city gate to kneel down. The soldiers guarding the city were a little confused. Among these people, there was an elder, looking up at the soldiers on the city tower, and shouted: "We want to see the little ants and the big insects." The people around him shouted together: "We want to see the little ants and the big insects." General Dao Yan stood on On top of the city tower, he was wearing a very powerful armor, looking at the people below the city. A soldier came forward and knelt down and said: "General." General Dao Yan said: "Open the city gate and let the people enter the city." The city gate opened and the people outside the city slowly entered the city.
Together they went to Xiaoyi Mansion Garden, beating gongs and drums. Behind these people, they carried a huge plaque and knelt in front of Xiaoyi's courtyard gate. Xiao Yi walked out with all the disciples. The old man walked out and knelt in front of Xiao Yi. He looked up and said, "Xiao Yi and Da Chong, you prayed for rain for the people of Jinyang. You are a great benefactor to us people. We are all very grateful to you." Xiao Yi He personally helped the elder up and said: "As an elder, how can you give such a big gift to a junior like me? Get up quickly." Xiao Yi bowed to the old man standing in front of him, and then faced the people behind the elder. , said: "You all get up." Then he raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty is wise, this is the kindness of Your Majesty. Xiao Yi was entrusted by Your Majesty and did some things that should be done. If you want to thank you, just thank Your Majesty. "These people kowtowed to the south and shouted: "My king will live for ten thousand years, and the Zhao Kingdom will live for ten thousand years." Little Ant stood in front of them and said, "The king has received your wishes, everyone, please get up." The elder looked behind him, The people behind him carried out the plaque. Xiao Yi looked at the plaque with the words "Insect Saint of Literary Circle" and said, "Young ant is not talented, how can he deserve such praise from you?" The elder looked up at Xiao Yi and said, "Big insect" , you are the blue sky of our people, the insect saint in the hearts of our people, just accept it." When Xiao Yi was in a dilemma, General Dao Yan walked out and said: "Sir, this is the will of the people, just accept it. , don’t let down their sincere hearts.” Xiao Yi then said: “Okay, I will accept your wishes.”
It was still dark, so Xiao Yi sat up on the bed, then walked down and sat in front of the plaque. He kept looking at the plaque and couldn't speak for a long time. Zizheng walked out and said with some disdain: "It seems that sir still cares about this reputation." Xiao Yi stood up and turned around and said: "Zizheng, it's you. How should you deal with it?" Zizheng stood there. Xiao Yi stood in front of him and said, "Sir, why should you care about these false names?" After hearing this, Xiao Yi suddenly became enlightened and said, "Zizheng is right." He left this plaque.
Xiao Yi entered the general's mansion, followed by Zi Wen. Xiao Yi said: "General, Xiao Yi came to the General's Mansion this time to say goodbye to the general." General Dao Yan stood up and walked up, saying: "Sir, you see it's not dawn yet, wait until dawn before leaving, why rush What about this time?" The little ant said: "In order not to disturb the people in the city, this is the right time to leave." General Dao Yan asked: "Where are you going after sir leaving Jinyang?" The little ant replied: "Like Kong Like Master, he traveled around the world to promote Master's benevolence, righteousness and morality. He went to Luoyi, the capital of Zhou, to pay homage to the most prestigious elders in Zhou's capital." General Dao Yan said: "Sir, you are leaving Jinyang. You must leave something for the people of Jinyang. Leave something." Xiao Yi bowed and said, "General, please forgive me for being in a hurry and not preparing anything." General Dao Yan asked Xiao Yi what he wanted to leave behind for the people of Jinyang. This is General Dao Yan's true intention to keep Xiao Yi. It seems that Xiao Yi can't leave for the time being without leaving something behind, because it's hard to refuse such kindness. Ziwen stood aside and said: "Sir, I have summarized the content of the policy of government and military in your remarks. I will go and get it." Little Yi said: "Okay, okay, you go."
Ziwen hurriedly walked out of the general's house, went to his study to take out the slips, and hurriedly walked out, standing in front of General Daoyan, and presented this. This was the political behavior discussed by Xiaoyi and his disciples during the lecture. The content of the military chapter is in the form of dialogue. The beginning of the article says: "Soldiers are evil. In ancient times, the use of soldiers was a disaster. When swords and soldiers fight, there may be righteousness and unjustness. The righteous will conquer for justice; the unjust, conquer for justice." It is selfish and deceitful. Generally speaking, the use of troops and the practice of martial arts to stop wars are the peace and tranquility of the people and the blessing of the country..." General Daoyan saw this and praised him: "Okay, okay, sir, you are doing both politics and the military. The strategy brings benevolence to the extreme." General Dao Yan looked at Ziwen and said with great satisfaction: "The future generations are to be feared." The little ant said: "Ziwen is smart and eager to learn. I can trust the strategies he summarized for government and military affairs. .”
General Dao Yan ordered the guard standing next to him to go to the account room to get some money, and said: "Sir, I need money when traveling around the country. This money is not much. It is your travel aid. Please accept it, sir." Xiao Yi stretched out He raised his hands to refuse and said: "The general's money can't be accepted by little ants." General Dao Yan said: "Your Confucianism emphasizes courtesy and reciprocity. Sir, you taught me the strategy of serving the government and the army. I must have a way to express it. Sir, you must Take it." General Dao Yan still insisted. He couldn't refuse anything, so he had to take it and hand it over to Yu Ziwen for safekeeping. Facing General Dao Yan, he kowtowed and said, "General, Xiao Yi takes his leave." General Dao Yan said, "Sir, please take care of yourself along the way!" Xiao Yi held his hands in front of him, took a few steps back, and then turned around and left. go. General Dao Yan followed him all the time. Xiao Yi stood in front of the gate of the mansion, got on the car, looked at General Dao Yan and said: "General, just send it here, Xiao Yi is leaving." General Dao Yan stood in front of the gate of the mansion and waved. , shouted: "Sir, have a good trip." Xiao Yi turned around and looked at General Dao Yan who was standing in front of the mansion gate and said: "General, please go back."
It was still dark, so Xiao Yi and his disciples set out from the General's Mansion in order not to disturb the people. At this time, it was just dawn, and the car slowly drove out of Jinyang City. These people gathered outside the city to wait for it to leave the city. Xiao Yi drove out of the city, followed by many disciples. Zi, who was sitting in front of the car and was driving, looked at the people standing in front and said, "Sir, look." Xiao Yi looked up, got out of the car and ran on foot. forward. All the people knelt down and said, "Little ants and big insects." Xiao Yi ran in front of these people and said, "You all get up." These people all stood up and stood around Xiao Yi and said, "Little ants and big insects, We are reluctant to let you go." Xiao Yi faced these people, held an elder's hand, and said, "I can't bear to leave you either, but there is no such thing as a banquet in the world." Xiao Yi stepped back a few steps and bowed in salute. , said: "Xiao Yi said goodbye." Then he got in the car and drove away slowly with Zi Zheng sitting in front.
Zhu Haiyan drove towards Jinyang. General Dao Yan led all the generals, Jinyang Ling and some local officials stood outside the city gate to greet the governor. Zhu Haichong drove his car and stopped in front of the city gate, got out of the car and kowtowed: "General, Jinyang Order and all officials and generals." General Dao Yan and his Jinyang Order came forward and kowtowed: "Zhu Da Chong." Dao Yan. The general stood aside and said, "Prince Officer Da Chong, please come with us into the city." Zhu Haiyan stood in front of General Dao Yan and asked, "General, are you still in the general's residence?" General Dao Yan replied: "Sir, he left Jinyang this morning." Zhu Haiyi originally wanted to visit Xiao Yi when he entered Jinyang, because Xiao Yi was kind to him. Xiao Yi's reputation was extremely high when he was in Zhao State, and he was well known. Zhu Haiyi's governance of Jinyang is mainly to develop farming operations and put the people first. Naturally, it is inseparable from the benevolent government advocated by Xiaoyi. Of course, he has to pay a visit to the insect saint, but it is a pity that Xiaoyi has already left at this time. to Jinyang. He boarded the carriage and faced General Dao Yan and some of his officials, saying: "General, you gentlemen, I'll be back as soon as I go. Please wait in the house. I'm sorry for being disrespectful."
Zhu Haiyan drove to catch up, thinking that there were many disciples following Xiao Yi, so he must not be able to go far. Zhu Haiyan was driving all the way. He looked up and saw a tall boxcar moving forward slowly in front of him, with many disciples running behind him. The Zhuhai ant stood on the running car and shouted, "Sir, please walk slowly, sir, sir." The disciples who were following behind heard that there were insects behind them calling their sir, and they all looked behind them. Seeing a carriage running towards here, he called forward: "Sir." Zi Zheng stopped the carriage, got off the carriage with Xiao Yi, stood behind the carriage and looked forward. Zhu Haiyan drove towards here and stopped. He got off the car and ran to Xiao Yi, knelt down and looked up at him, and said, "Sir." Xiao Yi immediately helped Zhu Haiyi up and asked, "Are you...?" Zhu Haiyan looked at Xiao Yi and said, " I am Zhu Haiyan, have you forgotten that I was in Zhangshui? Zhu Haiyan would also like to thank Mr. Bai for this matter. If not for Mr. Bai’s strong advice, the people of Zhangshui would still be living in dire straits." Xiao Yi said: "Xiao Yi just said something that should be said. Don't worry about it. How did you come to Jinyang?" Zhu Haiyi said: "The king has been promoted to the governor of Jinyang County. Sir, what are you going to do?" Are you coming to Jinyang?" Xiao Yi said: "Yes, he traveled around the country to lobby the princes of various countries." Zhu Haiyi said: "It may be difficult to persuade those princes with your thoughts of benevolence and righteousness. It is better to stay in Jinyang and communicate with the princes. I will govern Jinyang together. Mr. White Ant values you very much, why would you abandon it?"
