I'm in the palace.
An old man and a young man sat side by side behind the Dragon Book table.
Old Zhu lectured Zhu Zheng on history with a serious expression.
Their progress was very fast.
Now, it was already the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the story of the three families dividing Jin.
Old Zhu's aged and determined voice rang out in the hall.
"Uncle Zhi asked Wei Xuanzi for land, but Wei Xuanzi refused."Why not?"
"He asked for land without reason," said Xuan Zi,"so he did not give it.”
Ren Zhang said,"If you ask for land for no reason, the neighboring countries will be afraid. If they are greedy and insatiable, the world will be afraid.
If you give him land, Uncle Zhi will be arrogant and underestimate the enemy."
Xuan Zi said,"Good!"
So he adopted Ren Zhang's plan!
...
This story was about the end of the Spring and Autumn Period.
In the State of Jin, Zhao, Wei, Zhi, Fan, and Zhong Xing were the most powerful. They were known as the Six Ministers in history.
Uncle Zhi first led the Han, Zhao, and Wei clans to destroy the Fan and Zhong Xing clans.
Then, he asked Wei Xuanzi for territory.
Wei Xuanzi didn't want to agree, but he didn't dare to reject him directly.
The two were in a dilemma.
Advisor Ren Zhang offered a plan.
He told Wei Xuanzi not to refuse and to agree to Uncle Zhi first.
Once Uncle Zhi tasted the sweetness.
He would definitely become even more arrogant and greedy.
This way, Han and Zhao would definitely be on guard.
Unknowingly, it would cause the various families to unite and deal with Uncle Zhi together.
At that time, Uncle Zhi's life would be in danger.
Wei Xuanzi thought it was reasonable, so he accepted Ren Zhang's suggestion.
As expected, not long after.
Uncle Zhi was then attacked by Zhao, Wei, and Han, and was destroyed.
Officially opened the three-way promotion
After finishing the story.
Old Zhu paused for a moment to let Zhu Zheng digest it.
Then, he smiled and asked,
"Lin 'er, do you have any insights after listening to it?？”
Zhu Zheng nodded and replied,
"Uncle Zhi is arrogant, while Wei Xuanzi hides his strength.
As the saying goes, a proud army will fail. Therefore, Uncle Zhi was destroyed and Wei Xuanzi won!!”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded his head in relief. He stroked his beard and smiled.
"Not bad, although it is still very shallow.
But it's already very good that our good grandson can realize that pride comes before a fall at this age!”
Zhu Zheng blinked his eyes in a cute manner and said,
" Grandpa, please teach me!!"
Old Zhu's lecture on history was very interesting.
The story had always been a medium.
What he really wanted to teach Zhu Zheng.
It is the truth of how to deal with people
Elder Zhu narrowed his eyes and said earnestly,"
"Lin 'er, you have to remember this.
He who can defeat others is powerful, and he who can defeat himself is strong!
The most difficult thing for a person was not to defeat others, but to defeat his own desires!!
No matter if you were strong or small.
I will be your enemy for life.
There was no way to escape or avoid it.
If you win, you will be invincible. If you lose, you will be mediocre!!
Since ancient times, many heroes had lost because of this.
This Uncle Zhi is a classic example of the opposite. You have to take him as a warning!!
No matter what, he had to remain calm and humble! Do you know that?"
"Grandpa, don't worry. I'll remember it!!”
Zhu Zheng nodded seriously, his small face full of solemnity.
"And…"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled in satisfaction and added,"
"You have to pay attention to the strategist Ren Zhang here.
You have to learn from him!!
In a word, if you want to take something, you must first give it!
Especially when you are facing an enemy stronger than you and you are not sure if you can defeat him.
Do you know what to do?"
Zhu Zheng immediately nodded and said,
"Just like this Ren Zhang, paralyze the other party!!”
"Hahaha, that's right, that's it!!”
Old Zhu was very pleased with Zhu Zheng's intelligence. He narrowed his eyes and said,
"Jieshi, you have to do everything you can
Make the other party look down on you and make the other party proud.
Pride would make mistakes, and mistakes would give you an opportunity.
They could counterattack and defeat the strong with the weak!!
I used this method to deal with Hu Weiyong and abolish the Prime Minister…
On the contrary, no one would treat you well for no reason.
If such a thing happens, you must be careful.
You have to see through what the other party really wants to do and be on guard."
At this point.
Old Zhu couldn't help but laugh as he shook his head."
"Forget it. Now that we're talking about it, we've gone too far.
This is still too early for you.
Remember this first. I'll teach you slowly in the future!!”
"Yes, I'll remember it!"
Zhu Zheng replied obediently.
"Haha, good!"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled in satisfaction, then waved his hand and said,
"Alright, that's all for today. Don't tire yourself out.
Let's go out and have fun!”
Zhu Zheng didn't leave when he heard this.
Instead, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
Then, he muttered,
"If you want to take something, you must first give it?”
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.
He immediately reacted and patted Zhu Zheng's little head, scolding him jokingly,"
"You little brat, you actually used it on me, hahaha!!”
Zhu Zheng chuckled for a while and tugged at Old Zhu's dragon robe.
"Grandpa has been tired for a day. It's time to relax.
Why don't you go out for a walk with your grandson?”
"Good grandson, you know how to dote on your grandfather!!”
Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely gratified when he heard this. He smiled and nodded.
"Alright, I promise you, but I have to approve a few memorials first.
You go first, we'll come over to find you later!!”
"Alright then!"
Zhu Zheng nodded.
Then, he turned around and ran out without bothering Old Zhu.
Today, the weather is not bad.
It's indeed a good day for sightseeing
......
The back door of the Palace of Earthly Tranquility led directly to the imperial garden.
At this moment.
Zhu Xi was strolling around in boredom
He hoped to find the figure of that detestable thief.
As for the others like Zhu Quan, they had already gone off to play on their own.
How could he be interested in accompanying Zhu Rong here like a fool?
Only Zhu Rong stubbornly stood at his post.
Just like that.
After guarding for half a day, Zhu Xiong also felt bored.
He felt that he probably did not have any gains today, so he prepared to go home.
Before he left, Zhu Rong turned around and glanced at him unwillingly.
When he saw it, he was overjoyed.
The despicable thief swaggered out of Earth Peace Palace.
Instantly!
Zhu Xiong raised his head slightly.
She resisted the urge to cry.
Who knew how he had been living these days!!
Then, he immediately reacted.
He first subconsciously dodged.
After which, he quickly turned around and went to gather Zhu Quan and the others.
Before long, the gods returned.
Zhu Rong and the others gathered together anxiously.
" Where is he? Where is he?"
"Don't let him escape. We've waited for so long, and this kid is finally here!!”
" Let's go, let's go!!"
