Be cautious to meet Qi Huan Gong.
Zhang Hongxing. 
The next day, Shen Zhi led Chun Yu to the main hall.
Chun Yu and Shen bowed to the Duke of Qi Huan: "See the king!" ”
Qi Huan Gong said: "Excuse me, give a seat. He looked at the cautious person who was dressed in green clothes and looked dignified, "Listen.
Chun Yuji said, you are from Zhao State, why did you come here? ”
Be cautious enough to look at the radiant, majestic and peaceful Qi Huan Gong: "As the saying goes, good birds choose trees to perch. Now Xiong Su (King Chu Mourning) appointed Wu Qi to change the law, Qin, Korea, and Wei are all reforming, and the king.
The establishment of the Jixia School Palace is a bigger and longer-term plan, so I came here. ”
Qi Huan Gong said: "Zhao Ji (Zhao Liehou) has also carried out some reforms, and the effect is obvious. ”
Shen Zhi said very seriously: "Zhao Ji loves **, and he is very fond of singers, Under the persuasion of Gong Zhonglian, Zhao Ji took back the field of the singer to avoid the spread of the wind of pleasure, and ensured that the country's reward was given to the meritorious people. After that, Gong Zhonglian recommended Niu Zhu, Xun Xin, and Xu Yue to Zhao Ji, and the three of them were reused. After the three of them took office, they restructured the system and finances of Zhao State, so that the situation of Zhao State took on a new look. However, after Zhao Ji died and Zhao Zhang (Zhao Jinghou) ascended the throne, the restructuring stagnated, and the war continued. Therefore, the grass people concluded that the country of Qi was there.
Under your leadership, there will be great development, and the national strength will definitely surpass that of Zhao. ”
Qi Huan Gong laughed: "Mr. Shendao is very good at praising people, yesterday Chun Yuyu said that you are a great talent, and the widow wants to test you, and the widow has been dreaming recently, what does this dream mean? ”
Be cautious and look at Qi Huangong: "Things that attract attention during the day, or very important things, will happen at night.
Dreams associated with it appear. ”
Qi Huan Gong thought for a while and said, "Not really. Most of the widow's recent dreams were when the widow was a child. ”
Shen Dao said: "Because when a person is a child, things are very exciting, the most impressive, and they are often dreamed of. ”
Qi Huan Gong thought for a while and said, "Well, there is some truth. Then he changed the subject, "Qi Guo should respond next."
How? ”
Shen Zhi said: "The minister can't say well, but he has some ideas. King, the reason why the dragon can fly and swim in the sky is not because it has any divine power, but because it is supported by clouds and mist; Once the clouds have cleared, it will do nothing like an earthworm on the ground, because it has lost the conditions to display its talents. The power of the monarch is also like clouds and wind, and once it is lost, it is no different from the common people. From this point of view, right.
Momentum is something that the monarch cannot give up. ”
Qi Huan Gong blinked, looked at Shen Dao, and nodded: "Go on." ”
Shen Zhi continued: "For example. Back then, when Yao was still a common man, he couldn't even support his neighbors, but once he was the king of the south of the country, he could command the whole world. Therefore, the importance of power is obvious. In reality, virtuous people have to be subject to unscrupulous people, and the reason is that virtuous people have a low status. Therefore, whether you are virtuous or unworthy is insignificant, and the key lies in whether you have power or not. ”
Qi Huan Gong nodded: "Well said!" What do you do when you have gained power? ”
Shen Zhi said, "Determine the position." ”
Gong Qi Huan raised his eyebrows: "Determine the position?" You elaborate. ”
Shen was encouraged and said, "Your lord, tell me a joke. There is a rabbit running, and hundreds of people will go after it, not because one rabbit is enough for a hundred people, but because the rabbit has not yet been decided, and it is not known whose it is. Since the ownership is undecided, even Yao will do his best to hunt down rabbits, let alone ordinary people. The market is full of rabbits, and passers-by don't even look at them, not because they don't want to get them, but because of these.
The ownership of the rabbit has been decided. ”
Qi Huan Gong laughed: "Although it's a joke, there is some truth." ”
Shen Zhi continued: "Since the attribution has been determined, even the vulgar will not fight for it. The same is true for governing the world, and after grasping power, it is to determine the office. Therefore, the sage must set up judges for the society, and let the judges be the teachers of the people of the world, that is, they have set their positions; Once the name is determined, people can be discreetly loyal and self-governing.
Therefore, the determination of office is the inevitable solution, and the uncertainty of office is the inevitable method. ”
Qi Huan asked: "Then what should be done after determining the position and establishing a judge?" ”
After thinking about it carefully: "'Dao' is the basis for changing the law, and the country's chaos, misfortune and blessing are completely determined by whether or not the Tao can be used to change the law, not only on the subjective will of the monarch. The law is the most impartial and selfless thing in the world, and its role is to unify people's behavior, to establish public affairs over private interests, and to serve as a ruler for judging right and wrong. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that officials do not have personal relatives, the law does not leave love, there is nothing to do up and down, and only the law is; It is only when flesh and blood can be punished, relatives can be destroyed, and law enforcement is perfect. ”
Qi Huangong's expression was serious: "You are right. How can the law and etiquette be unified? ”
Shen Zhi said: "A wise monarch must use his mind to do things, clarify the standard of rewards and punishments, distribute money and goods in accordance with the law, and exercise virtue in moderation and according to the etiquette system. Although the rituals are different, their functions are the same, they are all to establish justice and abandon selfishness. ”
Qi Huan Gong then asked, "What do you mean by 'li'?" ”
Shen Zhi continued: "The country has the gift of nobility and lowliness, and there is no gift of virtue and unscrupulousness; There is a long order of gifts, but there is no courage and cowardice of the ceremony; There is a gift of intimacy, but no gift of love and hatred. It is the rites that determine the boundaries between the noble and the lowly, the elders and the young, so that it can establish justice and eliminate selfishness. In exercising favors, the monarch should distinguish between different levels and grades, and be impartial and moderate. ”
Qi Huan Gong laughed: "Kong Zhongni talks about 'moderation', you talk about 'moderation', what you say is a truth."
Today, the widow named you as the doctor of the Jixia School Palace, and I hope you will contribute to the success of the Jixia School Palace. ”
Be cautious and immediately bow: "King Xie!" ”
