The Story of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty 150 Hundred Mile Xi pushed the resignation of Xiangguo and recommended Uncle Jian to be the minister
Feeling: Bai Lixi, who became a late master, met Uncle Jian, who knew people and knew people, and coincided with Qin Mugong, who was good at serving as a hero, and the joint management of the three of them laid a solid foundation for the unification of the qin state and the world, which in turn changed the course of Chinese history.
Qin Mugong was impressed by Bai Lixi's talent and wanted to worship him as Shangqing. However, Bai Lixian resigned: "The talent of the minister is not as good as one-tenth of that of the minister's friend Uncle Jian." If the prince wants to govern the country, please let Uncle Jian be the secretary of state, and the courtiers will assist him. ”
Mu Gongyue: "Your talent, the widow has seen it firsthand." But I've never heard uncle Jian's name. ”
Xi said to him, "Uncle Jian's talent is not only that the prince has not heard of it, but neither the State of Qi nor the State of Song has heard of his virtuous name." However, the subject alone knows him. The minister once traveled in the country of Qi and wanted to meet the prince ignorantly seeking a job, so Uncle Jian stopped the minister, saying, 'No.' Only then did the subject leave the state of Qi and escape the scourge of ignorance. Then he went to the Zhou Dynasty and wanted to see gongzi for a decadent job, and Uncle Jian stopped the courtiers: "No. The subject left the Zhou Dynasty again, and was able to escape the scourge of Gongzi Decadence. Later, when the subject returned to the Kingdom of Yu and wanted to seek a position in the State of Yu, Uncle Jian stopped the Minister: "No. At that time, the subject was too poor, coveting the title of Yu Guo and Feng Lu, so he stayed in the Yu Kingdom to do things, and the Yu Kingdom was destroyed, and the Subject was taken prisoner of the Jin State. After listening to Uncle Jian's words several times, he was able to escape the disaster; this time he did not listen to his words and was almost killed. Uncle Jian's wisdom is far higher than mine. Now that Uncle Jian is living in seclusion in minglu village in the Song Kingdom, he should be summoned immediately. ”
Mu Gong then sent Gongzi Qiao disguised as a merchant and went to the Song Kingdom to hire Uncle Jian with heavy money. Bai Lixian wrote another letter expressing his meaning. Gongzi Fei packed his bags and drove an ox cart to Minglu Village. I saw several people ploughing in the fields, singing to each other.
Lyrics:
The height of the mountain is not sharp, and the road is muddy without candles. Xiang will be on the top, the spring is sweet and the soil is fertile. Diligent and diligent, divided into five grains. Three hours do not harm the feet. Happy this destiny without honor and disgrace!
Meaning: How high the mountain is, do not try to break into the mountain; how muddy the road is, do not try to illuminate it with candles (to distinguish it). Together, together in Longshang, here the spring water is sweet and clear, the land is fertile. The body often participates in labor, and you can get abundant grain. There are no natural disasters in spring, summer and autumn, and there is enough food. There is no honor or disgrace in your own situation!
Gongzi was in the car, hearing the rhyme of this song, there was a style beyond the earth, very sighed, to the driver of the ox cart: "There are gentlemen in the 'ancient clouds', and they are vulgar. Now in the land of Uncle Jian, his cultivators all have a high wind and believe in his sages. ”
So he got out of the car and asked the old farmer who cultivated the land, "Where does Uncle Jian live?" ”
The old farmer said, "What is this for, you ask?" ”
Gongzi Yue said, "His friend Bai Lixi has a letter for me to forward to him." ”
The old farmer pointed to the front: "Go to the depths of the bamboo forest, on the left is the spring, on the right is the rock, and there is a thatched hut in the middle, which is where he lives." ”
Gongzi Yi followed the instructions of the old farmer and did not go far to arrive. Looking up, the surrounding scenery is indeed elegant.
Longxi residents have a hermitage:
The scenery in the green bamboo forest is the most secluded, what is the joy of life?
Several squares of white stones pile up clouds, a clear spring to meet the stream;
Fun apes can be fun, forgetting the elk can swim together.
The red dust went all over the sky, and Mr. Gao Wo was not worried.
Uncle Jian (c. 690 BC – 610 BC), who lived in the Song dynasty (zhì) (present-day Linzhuo Town, Suixi County, Huaibei City, Anhui Province), was introduced to Qin by Baili Xi and appointed Duke Mu of Qin (?) - 621 BC, one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period) was a famous politician and military figure of the Spring and Autumn Period.
