Translations. King Zhou Cheng and Tang Shuyu played together, making the leaves of the sycamore tree into the shape of Yugui. King Zhou Cheng gave this "jade gui" to Tang Shuyu: "I will now reward you with this jade gui." ”
Tang Shuyu was very happy and told Zhou Gong about it.
Zhou Gong asked King Cheng: "You rewarded Tang Shuyu?"”
King Cheng replied: "Let's play at home, let's play!."”
Zhou Gong said: "I heard that the Son of Heaven never jokes. Every word spoken by the Son of Heaven would be recorded by the historians, and then the musicians would sing it, and the scholars would praise it. So he sealed Tang Shuyu in Jindi.
On the one hand, he taught King Cheng to speak carefully, and on the other hand, he took care of King Cheng's intention to love his younger brother, and also consolidated the rule of the Zhou royal family.
Original. King Cheng and Tang Shuyu Yanju, cut the sycamore leaves to be Gui, and awarded Tang Shuyu to say: "Yu is sealed with this." ”
Uncle Tang Yu was happy to sue Zhou Gong, and Zhou Gong asked to say: "The Son of Heaven sealed Yu Ye?"”
King Cheng said: "Yu Yi and Yu are also playing." ”
Zhou Gong said: "When the ministers hear it, the Son of Heaven has no jokes, and the words are in the history books, and the workers recite them, and the scholars call them." ”
So he was named Tang Shuyu Yu in Jin, Zhou Gongdan can be described as good at talking, and he became Wang Yi's tautology, the righteousness of his brother of Caritage, and the solidity of the auxiliary royal family.
Repair. Tang Shuyu: Ji surname, name Yu, son of King Wu Ji Fa, half-brother of King Cheng Ji Yu, and the ancestor of the Jin Kingdom. Because it was sealed in the Tang Kingdom, it was called Tang Shuyu.
Feel. First of all, the story may have been made up. At the very least, the statement here is very imprudent.
Because King Zhou Cheng sealed Tang Shuyu in the Tang land, his name already says everything. Changing Tang to Jin was when Tang Shuyu's son Ji Xie.
From my point of view, this story is indeed a borrowed play.
Whoever you are, you have to be cautious when you speak, and that's right. But that doesn't mean the king can't make jokes. Although the king is called the Son of Heaven, he is also an ordinary person of flesh and blood. Don't let an ordinary person tell a joke, that's *** in itself.
Therefore, it doesn't matter if you joke or not in this story, the important thing is to seal Tang Shuyu to Tang Land.
As long as Tang Shuyu can be sealed to Tang Land, it will be fine.
We also have to pay attention to the fact that what a person does is the goal, and it doesn't really matter what he says he did because of it.
