Spring and Autumn I Am King

After entering the state of Lu, Zhao Wuxi made inquiries in many ways, and realized that Confucius had broken connections with Sanhuan on the one hand: Meng Sunkuo, the suzerain of the Meng family and his younger brother Meng Sunkuo, were his disciples, and he represented the Meng family's Zifu He was one of his followers. , preached everywhere for Confucius. www.geiliwx.com

But on the other hand, Confucius was established by Yanghu to become an official. Although it is called being forced to become an official, this relationship cannot be washed away. What's more, Confucius also had some contacts with Feiyi Zagongshan Buju, the second-ranking figure in the Yanghu Party.

"Master is getting old, and in the autumn and winter, my legs and feet are a little uncomfortable. I can't greet you in person, please forgive me, Doctor Zhao."

"Where, it should be etiquette for the younger generation to visit the elders."

After arriving at Zhongduyi Temple, Zai Yu, who came to greet him, smiled brightly, and from time to time inquired about whether there were any vacancies under Zhao Wuxi's subordinates.

Zhao Wuxi saw that he received people and treated things properly, and he was probably the one who didn't buy the idea of ​​Confucius among the disciples of Confucius, and he was more utilitarian. If Zi Lu and Yan Hui were hard to find, this Zai Yu was sent to the door by himself, but it is strange that Confucius did not take the opportunity of the recommendation to shove this unpopular disciple out of the house.

As one of the "Ten Philosophers of Confucianism" in later generations, Zai Yu's ability in etiquette and speech is second only to Zi Gong, and it is enough to be a pedestrian.

However, Wu Xing had to pay attention that his food appearance should not be too ugly, and his purpose should not be revealed too early. Therefore, this matter has to be cooked slowly, so that the talents of the early Confucian family can be boiled into the meat soup that he likes.

Ran Yong and Min Sun still had their old-fashioned attitudes, but Zeng Shen, who was playing twitching, was nowhere to be seen, and it was unknown which bamboo forest he was in.

Approaching the Yi Temple, the gentle Yan Hui led the way, and most of the discussions with Wu Xie were based on the principle of "checking things for knowledge". Wu Xie said that the overseas Chinese had arrived at Linqiu, if Yan Hui was free. You can follow the math apprentices to learn Zhou Bi's numbers and arithmetic.

Yan Hui Shi Shiran saluted and said, "Thank you doctor, but you must report to the master before you can go."

to the door. Zi Lu, who was guarding outside, had his beloved long sword on his waist, and saluted him respectfully. This heroic scholar asked Ran Qiu and Gong Xichi how well they lived in Linqiu, and was a little dissatisfied when he learned that Ran Qiu had served as the **** chief.

"You are not as brave as me!"

"That's natural, but Ziyou has a lot of experience in training troops and forming formations, and he will definitely become a well-known general in the future."

After entering, Zhao Wuxi saw Confucius again, still dressed as a simple and elegant old Confucian. He was tall and sat in a room full of bamboo slips of various colors, which seemed a little cramped.

Not to be questioned without mercy. But it was Confucius who first put down the bamboo rolls and stood up to salute him, and asked straight to the point: "I heard from the disciples that the doctor led the army into Lu City and passed through the Central Capital. The camp was half a mile wide, and there were nearly a thousand people. Is there a monarch's tiger talisman summoning order?"

Zhao Wuxi was stunned for a moment. Up to now, as a scholar-official of the State of Lu, he was still talking about taking care of the monarch. I am afraid there are only a few Confucius.

He said frankly: "I have never received a call from the Marquis of Lu and a tiger talisman."

"Does this count as privately dispatching soldiers? Does it count as violating orders?"

Confucius was very serious about this, but Zhao Wuxi smiled bitterly and said: "Confucius, Duke Wen of Lu passed away. The Dongmen then killed the direct descendants, and the Marquis of Lu began to lose state power since then. There have been five generations, and the power has fallen to three The hand of Huan has also been in the hands of four generations. The people do not know the ruler, so how can they gain the country? Although Wu Xie does not have the tiger talisman of the Marquis of Lu, but there are customs clearance talismans sent by the ruling Da Situ, Da Sima, and Da Sikong. Zhou Shu said, Obedience to power is consolation, failure to obey means collapse, and now the situation is serious. Without compassion, you can only obey power. If you abide by the ancient etiquette, wouldn’t you just sit back and watch your companions make trouble and take charge of the country’s life?”

I heard that Zhao Wuxi went to Lu City to target the "accompanying minister" who had overstepped. Confucius' face turned a little darker, and the Chang Tai breathed: "There is no way in the world, then ritual and music conquests will come from the princes. From the princes, the tenth generation hope is not lost; from the doctor, the fifth generation hope is not lost; accompany ministers in charge of state orders, Three generations of hope are not lost. Now the descendants of Sanhuan have also declined, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yanghu is about to rebel. So, the doctor marched this time to defeat Yanghu?"

Wu Xie thought to himself: "I'm just for myself..."

But what he exported was an indignant condemnation of Yanghu's government.

"Of course, the thieves who harm the people in disorder, everyone gets it and kills them!"

Confucius slapped his palms and said, "This is a kind word. I have seen Yanghu's administration in Yangguan with my own eyes. The tyranny is fiercer than a tiger! If the doctor can go to this evil tiger for Lu, it will be a great credit."

"Confucius's worries are also without sympathy. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yanghu will cause chaos, and the situation in Lu is like a bird gathering in the city of Lu? How will Confucius decide?"

Confucius froze for a moment, then bowed: "Qiu has always been depressed and unwilling, until more than a year ago, he was established by Yanghu, and he was able to become the leader of Zhongdu. Many people regard me as a party of Yanghu, but in fact I am not. Let's listen to Qiu's story. Although Yanzi doesn't like Qiu, Qiu has always respected Yanzi. When Chen and Bao's clans attacked Luan and Gao's Huiqing, the city of Linzi was in chaos. Yanzi was standing outside Humen wearing court clothes. Every family called him to help, but he didn't go."

"The retainer of the Yan family asked: Are we helping the Chen family and the Bao family? Yanzi said: What kind of virtue does Chen and Bao deserve my help? The retainer asked again: Is that helping the Luan family and the Gao family? Yanzi said: Erhui Could it be better than the Chen family and the Bao family? The retainer said again: Then go back? Yan Zi said: The monarch is still trapped in the palace. get inside."

"Now the doctor asks Qiu where to go, but Qiu wants to learn what Yanzi did, obeying the lord, not Sanhuan and Yanghuo. I will protect the city and protect the people's stability. Only when the turmoil is settled and the monarch calls, I will go to Lu. The city pleads guilty."

"It turns out that Confucius can indeed do not violate his original intentions, but Wu Xie has already entered the game too deeply, so he can only stir up this muddy water. Today, after we say goodbye, please take care of Confucius!"

Zhao Wuxi had already got the answer, but he was noncommittal about Confucius' behavior of watching fire from the other side called "loyalty", but it was a wise move in line with his own status and strength.

Whoever thought that Confucius stopped him: "Doctor, although Qiu does not want to be involved in the rivalry between the doctor and his companions, but in the city streets, the brave will win. Qiu can't do anything for the doctor, he only wants someone to accompany the doctor, as a relative. The guards serve by your side. Maybe it can help."

"Who?"

"Zhongyu."

Zhao Wuxi was stunned for a moment. The last time he was stationed in the Central Capital, a few military officials such as Mu Xia also approached Zilujiao. Mucha, who was already a leader in the army, lost in a mess. Confucius once said, "You can be braver than me." When it comes to the inappropriate courage of ten thousand people, Zilu is one of the strongest people Wu Xie has ever seen. Gu Yezi, the Qi native who was assassinated in Yangchangzhang, was the only enemy who could fight against him. If he could help him, this adventure would be even more powerful.

However, Confucius proposed at this time, is it really all good intentions? Zilu's long sword really listens to Zhao Wuxi's words.

But he still smiled and asked, "I can't ask for it, but is Zilu willing to go?"

"Yu Zeng has asked me many times. Is a gentleman still brave? The doctor has long heard of the battle at Zilu in Pubei, and he admires the doctor. Zilu hates Yanghu, and because he has my life, he will not refuse."

So, Zilu was called in, but after hearing the words, there was some hesitation between his brows with joy: "After you go, what about the defense of Zhongdu?"

"You, you once asked me, if Master is in command of the three armies, who would you like to work with?"

Confucius smiled and said, "I said it at the time. A person like you who likes to fight with tigers with bare hands, wading across rivers on foot, and will not regret if he dies. I will not work with him because it is too reckless. What I am looking for must be someone who is careful and careful, good at planning and can complete the task.”

Zi Lu was very embarrassed. The Master was criticizing him for being reckless and unsuitable to lead an army alone. Junior Brother Ran Qiu, who went to Linqiu, was said by Doctor Zhao that he would definitely become a famous general in the future, which seemed to be the latter temperament.

Confucius changed his words: "But today, Dr. Zhao went to Lucheng to take a risk, and he is exactly the kind of person who is afraid of the situation. What's more, the division is not without achievements in the army. Don't forget, who taught you and Ran Qiu's military affairs. "

Zilu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and readily agreed.

So when the hundreds of soldiers left the camp the next day, Zilu was arranged by Zhao Wuxi to go on the right side of the car, and Zhao Wuxi and Mu Xia were on the left and the right.

Although Wu Xie secretly speculated that Confucius' intentions couldn't be that simple, he had gone through countless times in his mind about his plans for the future, and he believed that there were no flaws. Since Zilu took the initiative to send it to the door, he simply kept the same and responded to all changes, eating it in one bite, not asking to recover this person at one time, but it was okay to make full use of his talents.

On the wall of Zhongdu, Confucius dragged his sore legs and brought Yan Hui, Zai Yu and others to observe the military might.

"What a good and strong army!" Confucius stroked his beard and praised, only to see those dancing flags heading east, like dragons like tigers, like bears like bushes.

Zai Yu also praised: "More than a hundred years have passed since Duke Xi of Lu, and Lu has not had such an army for a long time."

Zi Lu, who had a thick beard and a crown, was no longer beside Confucius, Yan Hui looked away with his toes on his toes, and was also full of emotion: "In this way, Ran Qiu is right to go to Linqiu, he has always liked military affairs, and he is quite true to the Master. , I only hope that Zhong You can accompany Dr. Zhao into Lu City and return safely."

He bowed his body again and asked, "Dare to ask the calamity between Yanghu and Sanhuan, who does the Master think will win or lose?"

"Before Dr. Zhao's participation, Yanghu had a slight advantage, and the outcome was sixty-four."

"After Dr. Zhao is shortlisted, what will be the outcome?"

"Still unknown."

"Why don't you know?"

Sun Zi stroked his beard and said: "Dr. Zhao's army may seem powerful, but the battle of thorns and the battle of Zhen that he became famous are all field battles, and the street battles in the streets of Lucheng are limited as a guest army. Not to mention the number of them. Too few, Sima Fa has a clear idea, in any battle, if you take light action and heavy, you will lose, facing the rebel army who is many times his number and familiar with Lucheng, I am afraid it will not be of much benefit..."

Yan Hui was taken aback: "Since the Master is not optimistic about Doctor Zhao, why would you let Zi Lu accompany him there?"

"Those who travel on land without avoiding tigers and broods are the courage of hunters. Those who travel on water without avoiding dragons are the courage of fishermen. Those who face the front with the edge and see death as if they are alive are the courage of martyrs. Knowing that there is life in poverty, knowing that Sometimes, those who follow the great difficulties without jué are the courage of the benevolent. Therefore, the benevolent must have courage! Seeing righteousness and not doing anything, there is no courage!"

"I am the leader of Zhongdu, personally appointed by the monarch. My duty is where I am. Without the order of the monarch, I cannot send a soldier or a soldier. But Zilu is a free man. I intend to help Doctor Zhao to defeat Yanghu, but because of my status, I can only let Zilu go. Guarding him, even if Doctor Zhao is defeated and defeated, Zi Lu can keep his life worry-free~www.wuxiahere.com~Yan Hui nodded silently, but Confucius sighed in his heart without the disciples noticing:

"Yanghu contributed a lot to the matter of Dr. Zhao's entry into Lu. Although Lucheng rumored that they had a deadlock over something, I always felt that this matter was a little strange. If he went to Lu this time, it would be a good thing if he really turned against Yanghu. Zhong You He can be a guardian, but if he sees profit and forgets justice, he wants to help the tiger to turn against the enemy..."

"In that case, with Zhongyou's bravery, he can also act as Cao Mo who kidnapped Duke Huan of Qi with a single blade!" (To be continued)
