Spring and Autumn I Am King

Zhao Wuxi's sentence means, Ran Qiu, can I ask him to help me handle political affairs?

When he first met Ran Qiu in the north of Onozawa, he was attracted by his military ability to make good use of spear formation. Although Zhao Wuxi had Tian Ben, Mu Xia and other tiger warriors, to be honest, they were only the talents of the pawn. As an escort, it is possible, but I am afraid that he cannot take the post of brigade commander or higher. Baidu search to force literature network

On the other hand, Yang Tong Rong, Hu Hui, Yu Xi, and Wu Jing have more potential. They are the talents of brigade commanders or Yi Sima, but they are also very limited. In the past, Zhao Wuzhen was assisted by Wang Sunqi, and there was a post without direct guidance, but now Wang Sunqi has been injured in his arms and legs, and he is unable to move. Post Wuzheng has been entrusted with important tasks by Zhao Yang, and he cannot come to Linqiu, so Wu Xie has been in There is a lack of a deputy in the army.

However, after meeting Ran Qiu and taking the school examination and observation, he felt that this smart but humble young man might be able to help him in his military reform.

What's more, he is also versatile. If he is trained a little, he will be competent enough to hand over a big city to him alone.

I just don't know that Confucius is reluctant to let go.

Zhao Wuxi observed Confucius' expression, but saw that after hesitating and pondering for a moment, he once again showed a kind smile: "Qi also art, what's the point of being in politics?"

This means that if Ran Qiu is talented, why is it difficult to manage political affairs?

That is to say, I agree to Ran Qiu's career!

Zhao Wuxi was overjoyed and just thanked him, only to see Confucius wave his hand at him.

"I'm afraid it's not enough to ask for one person. Today, Qiu will recommend two people to Doctor Zhao first, how about it?"

...

Two days later, in the central capital of Lu, the weather was quite warm and the sun was shining brightly. In a quiet bamboo forest in the north of the city, there was a simple but regular banquet on the open ground. There are several scholars in dark clothes and wide sleeves sitting here.

This bamboo forest covers an area of ​​dozens of acres. Although it is mid-autumn, the bamboo leaves are slightly dry. But there is still greenness, and the bamboo poles are strong and straight. The color is green and green, the branches are connected, and the density is reasonable. Under the autumn sun, it looks like a blue lake, the wind blows from time to time, the bamboo leaves rustle, and the waves rise and fall. A clear creek winds its way from afar, zigzagging outside the forest.

The forest and the stream mirror each other. Truly a wonderful wild scene.

The young gentleman sitting in the chief was wearing a black long-distance travel crown, wearing a deep white Luzheng robe, embroidered with black bird patterns, and Zhengxiao looked at the few people sitting there with interest.

The elder below him was tall and tall, wearing a moon-white top and bottom, a Confucian crown on his head, and his hair tied with a hosta. His forehead is high and broad, and his face with Chinese characters is dark and dark, with only a few traces of white mixed in.

He closed his eyes to listen to the sounds of nature, opened his eyes and bowed his hands to the young man with high crown. In his mouth, he recited a song "Wei Feng" in a long and deep baritone.

"Zhan Peiqiao, green bamboo Yiyi. There are bandit gentlemen, such as cutting as sparring. Such as honing and grinding."

The young gentleman replied and said, "Zhenbiqiao, green bamboo and green. There are bandit gentlemen, with ear and bright ears, and their meeting is like a star."

He was youthful and vigorous, with a high-pitched voice, in stark contrast to the old man.

The young man was Zhao Wuxi, who was on the way back to the Central Capital, the elder was Confucius, the chief of the Central Capital, and the four people who sat there were his disciples, Zhongyou, Zeng Dian, Ran Qiu, and Gong Xichi.

After the sound was finished, the four people who were sitting also recited together:

"Look at him. The green bamboo is like a scorpion. There are bandit gentlemen, such as gold and tin. Such as a jade, such as a jade!"

This "Qi Ao" is a poem used by Wei Guo scholar-officials to praise the image of men. It uses the tall, straight, verdant, and dense green bamboo to praise the gentleman's high-spirited festival. Bamboo is used as a metaphor for people. Confucius praised Wu Xie, Wu Xie praised Confucius again, and the four disciples agreed with Zhao Wu Xie and Confucius.

Looking at the four disciples of different ages and temperaments, a smile appeared on the corner of Confucius' lips:

"The second and third sons are sitting here today, and they are like gold and tin, and there are bandit gentlemen. Don't be silent because of Dr. Zhao's status and honor, and I am older. You always say: No one knows me, no one uses me! Now if someone knows you and is willing to reuse me, what are you planning to do? Why don't you speak your mind?"

He was naturally referring to Zhao Wuxi. Today's Bamboo Forest Gathering is like a job fair for later generations, and Zhao Wuxi also has some memories of this history, but today he is the protagonist.

Confucius' eldest apprentice, Zhong Youzi Zilu, was nearly forty years old, but he was still young and tall and burly like a twenty-something reckless boy. His eyes were bright and piercing. He would be wearing a crown on his head, tied under his chin, wearing a wide robe, but he had a thick beard on his face, and a short sword was attached to his waist. Gas is born.

He glanced at Zhao Wuxi, then looked at Confucius, and replied without thinking: "A country of a thousand vehicles, sandwiched between great countries, is often invaded by foreign teachers and brigade, and there is famine inside, if you let it go Governance, with only three years of effort, can make everyone brave and good at fighting, and also understand the truth of being a man!"

After Zilu finished speaking, his eyes were rounded, his head held high, he was just a man, but he seemed to have the aura of a general.

Zhao Wuxi nodded when he heard the words, and thought to himself, that day when Confucius recommended Zilu, he said, "What's the point of being in politics?" This decisive evaluation was indeed true. He was impulsive and liked to answer first, although he often said Wrong, but he was also one of Confucius' favorite disciples besides Yan Hui. Don't look at him like a reckless man, but there are subtleties in the rough. Many government affairs in Zhongdu are handled by him as Confucius' deputy.

But this straight man is probably the most loyal person to Confucius. Except for Confucius, I am afraid that no one can regain his unruly heart.

Facing Zilu's answer, Confucius did not comment, but just snorted, and looked at Ran Qiu, the disciple behind Zilu.

"Please, how are you?"

Ran Qiu was only in his twenties, his hair was meticulously combed, and he was wrapped in a cyan cloth crown. He had an ordinary appearance and narrow eyebrows.

He became a disciple of Confucius for only a few years, but he quickly became one of the most valued disciples. Because of his slow and steady nature, Confucius encouraged him to be brave in practice.

Ran Qiu politely bowed to Zhao Wuxi and Confucius, and bowed slightly to the three brothers and sisters. Then he lowered his eyes and replied, "A city that is sixty to seventy li, or fifty or sixty li in length and breadth, if you let Qiu Go to governance, and after three years, you can make the common people rich. As for cultivating rites and music, if you can't do it with your own strength, you have to ask someone else."

After he finished speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Wuxi who nodded slightly at him. Sweaty palms, a little nervous.

Confucius frowned, Ran Qiu very modest. You may be cautious when dealing with outsiders. The talent is not exposed, and even gives the impression that "this person is cowardly". But as Confucius who knew him very well, he knew that Ran Qiu was very courageous.

If the state of Lu was in trouble and the enemy troops approached the city, as Doctor Zhao said on that day, "Though tens of thousands of people have left," it might be this disciple!

But Ran Qiu is also easy to compromise, easy to retreat, just one foot into the Confucianism. It cannot be called "benevolence", and it is difficult to become a great tool, which makes Confucius a little distressed.

Zhao Wuxi applauded Ran Qiu's practice of "If you can, say yes, if you can't, say you can't". He likes an obedient, humble and capable subordinate, and Ran Qiu's goal is clear. Fifty or sixty, isn't that what Zhen Yi and Linqiu are talking about?

Zhao Wuxi was intent on Ran Qiu. Ran Qiu also intends to serve, which can be said to coincide.

Confucius asked again, "Chi, how are you?"

Gong Xichi is a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old boy with a weak crown. The crown ceremony was just held, and it was called "Zihua" by Confucius. He is about the same age as Zhao Wuxi, not yet a disciple, and has been studying with Min Ziqian.

However, in the morning, Senior Brother Zai Yu quietly told him that the reason why he accompanied Doctor Zhao and the Master to sit in the bamboo forest this time was actually because the Master recommended him to Doctor Zhao.

He was shocked: "Senior Brother Ziyuan, Senior Brother Zhonggong, Senior Brother Ziqian. And Senior Brother Ziwo is many times better than me in terms of knowledge and ability. Why didn't the Master recommend them, but me instead?"

Gongxi Chi was in a state of apprehension. He stammered a bit: "I can't say what I can do, but I'm willing to learn something. I can probably wear a formal dress and a top hat when I do sacrifices in the ancestral temple, or when the princes gather together and meet the emperor. Be a little emcee."

His words were full of unconfidence and uncertainty, and Confucius smiled even more. That day, Zhao Wuxi asked him if he could let Ran Qiu go into office. After thinking for a while, he recommended Zilu and Gongxichi to Wuxi. people. The reason is that Zilu also has the talent to lead the army and govern the city, while Gong Xichi is skilled in etiquette, and he is also a gentleman of Lu State, and is also Ran Qiu's mother's cousin, who can serve as assistance.

However, he also claimed that he must listen to the aspirations of his disciples before making a decision.

Zhao Wuxie had nothing to do with it, so there was today's small gathering in the bamboo forest.

Now that the three of them have described their aspirations and what they think they can achieve, Zhao Wuxi and Confucius' eyes can't help but turn to the last person.

"Point, how are you?"

Confucius did not recommend this disciple who was only six or seven years younger than him, but Zeng Dian actually stayed overnight in the bamboo forest. After he groomed, he simply stayed with him.

People with a generous temperament are often informal, and because they are informal, they will not hide their hobbies, even if it causes others to be surprised. This is the case with Zeng Dian. His greatest hobby in his life was music. Although he was criticized by Confucius as being unsuitable for elegant music, he went his own way. And because Confucius did not attack him as a "heretic", the disciples frowned and accepted the existence of this alien brother. Now his music has become a scene in Zhongdu, and he did not stop playing during the conversation just now. .

After hearing Confucius' question, the sound of playing the serge gradually faded, and with a bang, Zeng Dian put down the serpent and stood up straight, and replied, "Master, my ambition is very different from what the three of them said! Doctor Zhao is also useless."

After the last chat, Zhao Wuxi and Zeng Dian were also acquaintances. He sat in the chief and raised his voice: "What does that matter? Today is just to talk about their own aspirations."

So Wucheng people brushed off the black hair on their faces, and opened their arms to feel the autumn wind passing through the bamboo forest: "Late spring season~www.wuxiahere.com~ Spring clothes have been put on. I and the champion five or six People, six or seven boys, go to the Yi River to bathe, blow the wind on the dance stage, and return home, this is what I want to do."

The three sons present were solemn and bowed to Dian Zeng, Zhao Wuxi was silent, and Confucius also sighed and said, "I and Dian also!"

So elegant and unrestrained, this is worthy of the ambition of the savage, but it is useless in the world...

When the four of them finished speaking, Confucius suddenly saluted Zhao Wuchun and said, "The doctor has now understood the abilities of the fourth son, Qiu Tangtu, dare to ask the doctor's ambition, how is it?" (To be continued)
