The unique system of "selecting officials" in Lilliputian countries
My gentlemanly demeanor and good manners won the emperor and Manchu.
The minister's kindness, in fact, the military and civilians are also to me.
I have a good impression, so I began to have freedom in a short time.
Hope. I do everything I can to please them.
Gradually, the local people are less worried about my danger to them.
It was a close call. Sometimes I lie on the ground and let five or six people be there.
Dance in my hands; Finally, both boys and girls dare.
Play hide-and-seek in my hair. I've heard of them.
I have made great progress in language now. friendship
God, the emperor wants to invite me to see several performances in his country. as soon as...
As far as the subtlety and grandeur of the performance are concerned, their performance surpassed mine.
Any country we know. What makes me most happy is skipping rope.
Performers' performance They are on a tree about two feet long, off the ground.
12 inch high thin white rope. this matter
I want to ask readers to be patient and listen to me carefully.
Go down.
Only those who wait for important positions or hope to win North Korea.
Only people who are favored by Tinn can perform this skill. From a very young age
Since then, they have started training this skill. These people are not.
They are all of noble birth or well educated. Important time
Vacancy, regardless of the death or fall out of favor of former officials.
(This is often the case), there will be five or six alternate petitions.
The emperor allowed them to perform for his majesty and court officials.
Dancing on the rope; Whoever jumps highest and doesn't fall off will take it.
Occupy this position. Ritual officials are often ordered to perform this skill.
Art makes the emperor believe that they have not forgotten their skills.
It is believed that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Flimm Naip, is straightening the rope.
Dance in the world is at least one level higher than any minister in the whole kingdom.
Inches. I once saw him on a board fixed on a rope.
Several somersaults in a row, rope is only common in Britain.
The packaging line is so thick If I have no prejudice, in my opinion.
Please, my friend, Interior Minister Riel Delisha is second only to others.
As for the Chancellor of the Exchequer, all other officials are equal.
Accidents often happen in this game, and these things
Therefore, it is on record. I saw two or three candidates with my own eyes.
Broke his arm and leg. But the greater danger lies with the minister.
When children are ordered to show their kung fu, because they want to jump.
Doing better than before, and wanting to be better than the people who danced together, suddenly one came.
Sometimes, there are very few people who don't fall, and some people even fall two or three times.
I heard about this place a year or two ago, Flimm knapp.
So I almost fell to my death, if it weren't for the emperor's cushion.
Fortunately, the strength of his fall was relieved on the ground and his neck was refused.
It must be broken.
There is also a special festival dedicated to the emperor.
Games performed by emperors, queens and prime ministers. The emperor is at the dinner table.
Put three 6-inch filaments, purple, yellow and white. this
Three silk threads are prizes prepared by the emperor, and he intends to use them to reward them.
Different people show their different preferences. The performance ceremony is in the emperor.
It will be held in the main hall of the palace, where the alternate personnel will compete with the front.
Completely different skills, which I have never seen in any country in the old and new continents. The emperor held a stick with both ends parallel to the ground. The candidates ran forward one by one, jumped over the crossbar for a while, climbed under the crossbar for a while, and ran back and forth many times. These repetitions are determined by the elevation of the crossbar. Sometimes the emperor and the prime minister each hold one end of the stick, and sometimes the prime minister holds the stick alone. Whoever performs the fastest and jumps the longest will be rewarded with purple silk, and the third place is yellow silk and white silk. They wrapped silk thread around their waist twice; It can be seen that few people in the imperial court do not use this belt for decoration.
Because war horses and royal horses are brought to me every day,
After the test of time, they are no longer timid and will not be scared when they come to my feet. I put my hand on the ground and the riders jumped on it; One of the hunters belonged to the emperor's hunting party, riding a tall and good horse and jumping over my shoes. This is really an amazing jump. One day, I was honored to have the opportunity to perform a very special game for the emperor's entertainment. I asked him to ask someone to get me some sticks two feet long, which are as thick as ordinary hands. The emperor ordered the official in charge of the forest to do so. The next morning, six loggers came back in six carriages, each drawn by eight horses. I took nine sticks from the car and stuck them firmly on the ground to form a 2.5-square-foot quadrilateral. Then, I took four sticks and tied them horizontally at the four corners of the quadrangle, about two feet from the ground. Then I spread the handkerchief flat on nine upright wooden sticks and tied it tightly, and the sides were as tight as drums. The four sticks tied horizontally are about five inches higher than the handkerchief as a four-sided fence.
Rod. After this work was completed, I asked the emperor to let a team of 24 people
Become an elite cavalry to exercise on this platform. The emperor agreed to my suggestion, so I picked up these horses one by one, put them on handkerchiefs, and immediately rode on armed officers to prepare for training. As soon as they stood up, they immediately divided into two teams and conducted small-scale military exercises. At that time, the blunt arrows were fired, the swords were drawn, and they ran, chased, attacked and retreated. In short, they showed strict military classics and mass discipline that I have never seen before. They didn't fall off the platform because of the protection of four cross bars. The emperor was so happy that he ordered to play this game almost every day.
Repeat the performance. Once he asked me to lift him to the platform and give orders. He even tried his best to persuade the queen to let me lift her less than two yards from the platform at the same time, even using her sedan chair, from which she could have a panoramic view of the exercise. Fortunately for me, there were no unfortunate accidents in several performances. Only once, a violent horse riding a captain kicked it with his hoof and kicked a hole in his handkerchief. The horse's leg slipped and turned upside down. But I immediately rescued the soldiers, covered the hole with one hand and put them back on the ground, just like I put them on the stage with my other hand. The lost horse sprained its left scapula, but the rider was safe and sound. I will try to mend my handkerchief, but I will never.
I believe this handkerchief is strong enough to withstand this dangerous game.
Comment-
Gulliver, the doctor on board, was unfortunately caught in a storm on his way to sea. The ship hit a rock and Gulliver drifted to an unknown place with the wind. He thinks this place is very strange: everything, animals and people everywhere are ten times smaller than the country where he lives. He is surrounded by many soldiers who use cranes, cranes, etc. Take him to Beijing as a monster he has never seen before and escort him to the palace. He gradually learned about this country and its unique laws, academics and customs. This country called Lilliput is a Lilliput, and the national height is only about six inches. The emperor is quite tall and dignified in front of his subjects. It turns out that he is one nail taller than others.
Gulliver was really an eye-opener in lilliput. He saw a peculiar bureaucratic election system here. The author doesn't deliberately stir up feelings here, but uses the absurd electoral system formulated by the king of that country to achieve the purpose of acrimony and irony. As we all know, all kinds of officials in a country should be the elite among the people with a sense of justice and responsibility, and they should consider the national interests and the suffering of the people. but
Lilliputian fans are bent on pleasing the emperor, because the emperor only appointed the person who danced best on silk as the minister of the DPRK, so everyone practiced this skill from an early age without exception. that
Yao, no matter how high and mysterious you jump, this man is just a highly skilled juggler. What does it have to do with official position? As a result, the emperor's fatuity and arbitrariness, the incompetence of ministers and the sufferings of the people all seem ridiculous here.
The scene above behind clearly emerges.
Gulliver initially thought that Lilliput was nothing like England, but actually Lilliput was written by England.
Photos. Through that seemingly absurd logic, we can see that the king is only one finger taller than his subjects.
A, on the other hand, arrogantly pretends to be the ruler of the universe and decides the fate of ordinary people with his impermanent emotions. You don't need both ability and political integrity to be an official. As long as you jump high, you can get high positions and high salaries. The difference between the two parties in Lilliput is marked by the height of high heels, implying the politics of the Tories (predecessor of the Conservative Party) and Whigs (later developed into liberals) in Britain. The dispute over whether the egg is cracked from the big head or the small head refers to the meaningless dispute between Catholicism and Protestantism (also known as Puritanism, that is, Calvinism) about church ceremonies. For this small dispute, it actually led to the civil war in Lilliput, and even spread to neighboring countries. Gulliver had to flee Lilliput because of the police system and false accusations.
