Ji Zi pretended to be crazy and was detained by Zhou Wang. Zhou Wuwang saved him and asked him how to govern the country.

Ji Zi is Zhou Wang's uncle and an important official in Shang Dynasty. When Shang Zhouwang made chopsticks from ivory, Ji Zi sighed sadly: "He is making chopsticks from ivory now, and he will definitely make chopsticks from jade in the future. After the jade cup is made successfully, he will certainly plunder the rare treasures in the distance and take them for himself. He will also be extravagant in food, clothing, housing and transportation. If the monarch only knows the pursuit of pleasure, the country will certainly not revitalize. "

Sure enough, as Kiko expected, Shang Zhouwang became more and more dissolute, and only cared about his own enjoyment, regardless of the sufferings of the people. Ji Zi bluntly suggested Shang Zhouwang, while Zhou Wang ignored his suggestion. Ji Zi was advised to say, "You should leave the Shang Dynasty now. Zhou Wang is doing whatever he wants, and the disaster of the Shang Dynasty is coming soon. If you stay here, you can't help him much. You'd better get out of here. " Ji Zi said helplessly, "As a courtier, I should remonstrate with the monarch, because the monarch will leave him if he doesn't listen to his advice. Such behavior can only show the fault of the monarch and please the people. I really can't bear to do this. " Kiko wears long hair, pretends to be crazy and sells stupidity, and no longer asks about the state affairs of the imperial court. Sometimes, he uses the piano to vent his sadness and indignation. When people heard it, they competed to praise it and named his music "Fuck Ji Zi". In spite of this, Zhou Wang still didn't let Ji Zi go and put him in prison.

Soon after, Zhou Wuwang sent troops to crusade against Shang Zhouwang and wiped out the Shang Dynasty. Zhou Wuwang knew that Ji Zi was a talented person with both ability and political integrity, so he was released from prison. Zhou Wuwang had great respect for Ji Zi and once asked Ji Zi how to govern the world. Zhou Wuwang said, "God soothes people and makes them live in harmony, but God can't speak. I never knew what laws God relied on to stabilize the people. Can you tell me? "

Ji Zi answered Zhou Wuwang without reservation. He said: "A long time ago, Gun was ordered to control water, which disrupted the Five Elements Law. The Emperor of Heaven was very angry, and the laws and basic principles of governing the country were destroyed. After the death of Gun, his son Yu succeeded to his throne. God appreciated Yu's virtue and taught him nine basic laws. Since then, the ethics of the rule of law has been revised, and this nine solutions.

The five elements are water, fire, wood, gold and earth. The nature of water is heavy for moistening things, the nature of fire is hot and erupting, the nature of wood can be bent and straight, the nature of gold can be melted and shaped, and the nature of soil can be cultivated and harvested. Water is salty, fire is bitter, wood is sour, gold is spicy and earth is sweet.

These five things are appearance, speech, observation, hearing and thinking. Appearance should be serious and respectful, so that people can be modest, speak correctly and keep promises, and be convinced, so that they can govern the country and observe things clearly and thoroughly, so that you can distinguish between true and false, listen to opinions and distinguish between right and wrong, so that things can be handled properly, problems can be considered comprehensively, and things can be understood.

The eight policies are to do a good job in agricultural production, commercial trade, offering sacrifices to ghosts and gods, taking charge of civil construction, doing a good job in culture and education, doing a good job in social security, formulating the etiquette for princes to appear before the court, and managing the army.

These five periods are year, month, day, star and calendar.

The throne refers to the highest principle that a monarch should abide by. A monarch should make a system according to the interests of the people in order to win their support. A monarch can ask his subjects to abide by these rules. The monarch is mainly good at appointing talented people and giving them enough titles and salaries. The monarch should not be biased and unfair when dealing with his officials. Officials should abide by the laws of the former king and not be crony. A monarch should care about the people as much as his parents and children.

Three virtues are to correct people's thinking, win with strength and win with weakness. Only by correcting the thoughts of good people can the world be stable. For tough and unfriendly people, we should defeat them by powerful means, and for friendly people, we should treat them with an integrated attitude.

Questioning is to solve problems by choosing people who are good at divination and speculating bad luck through divination. There are many signs after divination, and it is not easy to judge the result through it. It is possible to find many people to divine at the same time and listen to their judgments. Once you encounter a major problem, you should first think carefully, then discuss with the detained person, and finally judge by divination. Self-divination, the detainees agree, this is called Datong, self-divination, own. It is also considered auspicious. People agree with divination, but they and their officials can hardly oppose it. Only when they agree with divination and the opposition between the government and the people will things at home and abroad be dangerous. If all sides are against it, then don't act, or it will be dangerous.

Common signs refer to various signs in the weather. Such as rainy, sunny, warm, cold and windy, if these five kinds of weather are available and appear according to certain rules, crops will flourish, and it is not a good thing that some weather always appears or does not appear. If it rains for a long time, or it is dry for a long time, it will cause disaster. If the monarch is humble, it will rain on time, and the monarch will be honest, sunny, wise, gentle and far-sighted. It is a good sign that it will clear up when the monarch is enlightened. If you are arrogant and ignorant, there will be too much precipitation, you will act rashly, the weather will be dry, you will be greedy for pleasure, it will be too hot, you will be tyrannical and impatient, it will be too cold, you will be ignorant and the wind will not stop. This is not a good sign. The monarch's fault affects the weather for one year, and the minister's fault affects it for one year.

Five Blessingg's fear of using Band 6 means enjoying five kinds of happiness and staying away from six kinds of disasters. The five kinds of happiness are longevity, wealth, peace, virtue and a good death. After the six disasters, they were premature death, disease, anxiety, poverty, ugliness and cowardice.

After listening to Ji Zi's wonderful speech, Zhou Wuwang benefited a lot. He thanked Ji Zi for his teaching and sent Ji Zi to Korea to rule the people there, never treating Ji Zi as a courtier.
