Zhuangzi followed behind Hui Shi and soon came to the Wei state.
Today's Wei State is very different from the Wei State a few years ago, but it is the same as the Song State many years ago.
Because of the war, the population has decreased sharply, and there is a lot more wasteland in Wei, and there are many more dilapidated houses in the villages.
Looking at the tragic scene in front of him, Zhuangzi's heart was very touched.
But he didn't say it, and he didn't bother to debate with Hui Shi.
If you say what you feel, Hui Shi must argue with you, saying that there is a reason for this, and it should not be like this.
Isn't this all nonsense, so Zhuangzi is too lazy to speak, so as not to waste saliva.
The decline of the Wei State made King Wei Hui have no heart to sit in the Wei Palace, looking at the faces of the hereditary nobles who were officials all day long.
When he saw these people, he was angry.
These hereditary nobles, regardless of whether the Wei State was defeated or not, were bent on how to get more money and how to pay less taxes.
So that they can live in peace.
Therefore, King Wei Hui often did not go to the court to discuss matters, but took a few personal guards to "micro-service private visits" to the people to visit the truth.
The current state of Wei is obviously defeated.
However, many officials were afraid of being scolded by him for telling the truth, so they all opened their eyes and told nonsense.
In this way, King Wei Hui can only come out and walk in person, so that seeing is believing.
On this day, he was hidden in the crowd, staring around.
Just as he was frowning, Hui Shi appeared in front of him.
Hui Shi didn't see him, and walked straight by.
Behind Hui Shi was followed by a middle-aged man in shabby clothes.
When King Wei Hui saw it, he immediately had a feeling of who this person was, isn't this person Zhuang Zhou Zhuangzi Yes, didn't I ask Hui Shi to invite Zhuangzi This is not Hui Shi invited Zhuangzi Hehe, why does this Zhuangzi look so old, his age should be about the same as Hui Shi There is also the Zhuangzi I have seen before, not only is he young, but he is not so shabby in his clothes.
Look at his clothes with patches.
His shoes are not new, they are a pair of leather shoes made of tree bark.
It may be that it was a journey, broken, and could not be worn, so it was tied with hemp silk.
Zhuangzi was a shoemaker, and he tied the soles of his shoes to the instep of his feet with hemp silk to keep the soles and uppers separated.
Seeing Zhuangzi's dress, King Wei Hui was surprised and angry.
He resented Hui Shi for not being able to do things like this, since you asked you to invite Zhuangzi, why didn't you buy him a new set of clothes and a new pair of shoes Although our Wei State is in decline, it is not so poor that it is Besides, we are inviting Zhuangzi to come to Wei as an official to assist the widow in governing the country "Sir" King Wei Hui walked a few steps, picked up Zhuangzi, and asked, "Mr.
He's evil" When Zhuangzi looked back, he was also shocked.
He didn't expect to meet King Wei Hui here.
Isn't that pretending?
Isn't this to cheat some more money to dress up like this?
Zhuangzi thought that only in this way would the world know that he Zhuangzi was a poor ghost.
The Poor Ghost is his latest image He wants to be the image spokesperson of the poor ghost.
No, it is not the image spokesperson of the poor ghost, but the image spokesperson of this era In this era, this image is so poor Silk silk is only worn by a few people, and the vast number of people in the world are dressed like him.
Zhuangzi said: "Poverty is not exhaustion, but exhaustion refers to materialism, and exhaustion refers to the state of mind."
Talented and virtuous people cannot carry out their ideas and cannot save the world, which is exhaustion of body and mind; Clothes are broken, shoes are torn, this is poverty, not exhaustion. ” "Oh," King Wei Hui nodded and asked, "Why is Sir so poor?"
Hui Shi heard someone talking behind him, turned around and came back, and saw that it was King Wei Hui, and he was so frightened that he couldn't do it. was about to report to King Wei Hui, but he saw Wei Hui Dynasty staring at him with a black face, and glaring at him fiercely.
"Zhuang Zhou's family has wives and children, how can they not be poor," Zhuang Zi said, stretching out his hand and signaling.
He had six children.
"My wife is pregnant again" "Six babies are pregnant again," King Wei Hui also made a gesture and asked in disbelief.
I thought: This Zhuangzi and his wife can really give birth to the widow, as the king of a country, he doesn't have such a great ability, the widow's harem has a queen and so many concubines, so how many sons and princesses have been born "King" Hui Shi stepped forward and bowed his head, not daring to look at King Wei Hui's face.
"The widow asks you to do things, you look at you," King Wei Hui asked, pointing at Zhuangzi's body with his finger.
That means: why don't you buy him a new set of clothes and a new pair of shoes "The king" Hui Shi said aggrievedly: "His subordinates want to buy new clothes and shoes for Zhuangzi, but he doesn't accept it."
"How can he not be affected," Wei Hui Wang shouted.
Hui Shi hurriedly explained: "Zhuangzi said that if you save this silver, you can buy more food.
There are six babies at home, and they can't support them.

You can still wear these clothes and shoes, so you don't need to buy them. ” King Wei Hui looked at Zhuangzi in disbelief, meaning: Hui Shi did not lie Zhuangzi nodded.
King Wei Hui said: "With Mr.
Hui's talent, he can support the people of the world, where will it be difficult to even support his family?"
Zhuangzi said: "I was born at an untimely time, great king." ” "Born at the wrong time," King Wei Hui hurriedly said: "Didn't the widow let you come to Wei as an official to assist you a long time ago."
Zhuangzi said: "When I say that I was born at the wrong time, I mean that I was born in the wrong era.
How did I come to be born in this troubled world?"
"Then you hurry up and come to Wei to be an official and show your talents, this is not" King Wei Hui hurriedly said.
Zhuangzi said, "Great, haven't you seen the jumping apes, they live in the tall woods of Nan, Zi, Yu, Zhang, etc., grabbing the small branches and jumping freely.
They are the masters there, and even the archers Yi and Fengmeng dare not underestimate them.
But when they live in dwarf shrubs such as spine, thorn, citrus aurantium, and wolf, they must not walk carefully.
And they have to look left and right, their hearts are afraid, and their bodies tremble; It's not that you tighten your body and become inflexible, but that you live in a different environment where you can't fully display your talents.
Now that the Great Zhou is in decline, the princes are competing for hegemony, and the world is in chaos.
This is the time to be born, the princes are not fighting for hegemony, and there is no place to live."
Zhuangzi once again refused to come to Wei to be an official, believing that if the princes continued to compete for hegemony, they would not be able to govern the world well.
What can we do if we govern the Wei State well, in this chaotic era of princes competing for hegemony, no vassal state can become strong.
When you become strong, others will worry about you competing for hegemony.
So they will find ways to weaken your overall national strength.
What's more, a vassal state is really strong, even if he doesn't want to be hegemonic, he is forced to get involved in the war of hegemony.
In this troubled world, he didn't want to get involved in the war.
So he compares himself to an ape, he just wants to live in the forest, he doesn't want to come out to be an official.
He just wants to be a free man, and he doesn't want to come out as an official.
Because being an official can't save the world.
I was born at the wrong time, I was born in the wrong era, so I can only be poor. aa2705221:
