It is better to do it early than to let it grow. It's hard to figure out. Creeping weeds can't be removed. Is Kuang Jun's pet brother?

When Zhuang Gong ascended the throne, Wujiang requested that he be appointed Duan Shuyi. Duke Zhuang said, "Governing a city is dangerous. Uncle Bi used to die there. If it is sealed to other cities, I can do what I say. " Wujiang asked for an uncle, and Zhuang Gong agreed to let him live there, calling him Uncle Jing. Doctor Ji Zhong said, "If the city walls are more than 300 feet, they will become a scourge to the country. According to the regulations of the former king, the walls of big cities should not exceed one-third of the walls of capitals of various countries, and those of medium-sized cities should not exceed one-fifth and not exceed one-ninth. Today, the scale of Jingyi is no longer in compliance with the law. It violates the system of the former king and will make you uncontrollable. " Master Zhuang said, "How can I avoid Jiang's desire?" Ji Zhongdao: "What can the Jiang family satisfy? It is better to arrange an easy-to-control place for Uncle before it is too late to prevent his influence from spreading further. If it spreads, it will be difficult to deal with. Weeds that spread and grow are hard to get rid of, not to mention your beloved brother? " Duke Zhuang said, "If you do more injustice, you will collapse. Wait and see.

What this article mainly wants to tell us is that
Duan Yanyu by Zheng Boke has a complete structure, ups and downs and vivid characters. In particular, it vividly depicts Zheng Zhuanggong's wily character. First seal uncle Duan in Beijing, then let him "cross the line", "command the west and the north and despise himself", then "take two as his own city" and finally "cut off the Yan State". Some people think that. Some people think that he deliberately "corrects his evil". This is the first story in the Spring and Autumn Period. In addition to explaining that many grievances will lead to his own death, he also talked about his brother's filial piety, as well as the filial piety and the sense of monarch and minister shown by Uncle Ying Kao and Zhuang Gong digging up his mother. It is a classic in the story of filial piety.
At the end of the story, some people call it an ugly play. A typical person like Jiang and his mother who have long lost their common humanity, after a life-and-death struggle, can they still talk about family happiness without any bad feelings? What's more, the seeds of resentment were planted at birth, and the word "early" of "mother and child as before" lacked basis and seemed reluctant. The bloody battle has already torn the thin coat of "filial piety" that the ruling class has tried to preach to pieces. No wonder historians' comments on this matter are also embarrassing. "The dutiful son is not in the room, but always in the class." This is what the author said for Uncle Ying Kao. Always be filial to your family. It seems that Zheng Zhuanggong was infected by Yingkao's uncle and filial mother. In fact, it was only Zhuang Gong who took this opportunity to go down the slope. The reason why he accepted Uncle Ying's suggestion gladly was just to mend these worn-out coats and cover up the dirty body and ugly soul that had been completely exposed. This is also the trick of treacherous people through the ages, because here Zheng Zhuanggong concentrated on his hypocrisy, and hypocrisy is always accompanied by ugliness.
