Spring and Autumn I Am King

That night, in the military camp of the military soldiers, the curtain fell and the candles flickered. Zhao Wuxi knelt on the couch and looked at the visitor opposite and said:

"It's not in the dark room, I'm visiting today, I don't know why I came here?"

The scholar who sat on the mat, dressed in decent clothes, had a dignified manner, and had two splayed splayed sagittal beards, was exactly Zai Yu, a disciple of Confucius. www.geiliwx.com Although he was both eloquent and Zigong, he was the most disliked by Confucius, and was scolded as "a dead wood cannot be carved" and "unkind".

He did not go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything. Naturally, he did not come today to discuss teaching with Zhao Wuqian. He first reported on Confucius' injury, and then checked out some refugees, repairing walls, opening warehouses for relief and so on. The government affairs asked Zhao Wuxi for instructions. During this period, he tried to show his talents many times, but he still did not defeat the real purpose of coming here.

Seeing that Zhao Wuxi was a little impatient, Zai Yu stopped the conversation. Although Zai Yu also hoped that a lord who was eager for talents would take the initiative to recruit him, Zhao Wuxi in front of him was already a high-ranking Xiao Sikou and a high-ranking doctor in Sanyi, so he naturally had the qualifications to be arrogant. What's more, he was just out to greet him, and he was just waiting in an empty seat, which was already modest enough.

Everything was too much, Zai Yu felt that he should have demonstrated his ability and familiarity with the government affairs of Zhongdu, so he humbly bowed to Wu Xing.

"There is one more thing to report to the Si Kou. According to the laws of the state of Lu, the governor of the city has the responsibility of guarding the city. If the city falls, he will be arrested and questioned. will still be dismissed immediately.”

"Master only suffered a minor injury this time, so it's nothing to worry about, but if the monarch and the ruling party investigate the matter later, I am afraid that the master's position as the chief of the central capital will be removed. Disciple of affairs. But I have to think about one or two..."

After Zai Yu finished speaking, he bowed solemnly to Zhao Wuchun, looking worried about Confucius and the future of Confucius' government.

Zhao Wuxi had consulted the assistants before. There is indeed such a rule, but the state of Lu is not a country of written law. Unless you meet a big gangster like Zang Wenzhong who "holds the ritual to protect the office" and does everything according to the rules, the judgment of a crime is not based on meat. Feel free to come.

Wu Xie said lightly: "I heard that Yang Hu has fled to Guancheng, and now the Ji clan and the Meng clan are in power, Confucius is the teacher of Da Sikong and Nangong Jingshu, and he is also friendly with the pedestrian Zifu doctor. Meng clan Naturally, it will not be difficult for him. The Ji family is now relying on Chongzi Road to go to Yangguan to persuade the rebels to surrender, and naturally they will be more polite to Confucius. The reason for the Central Capital is that the robber is not an official, maybe it is just a light blame, no was suddenly dismissed."

Therefore, it seems that Zai Yu came to ask for help today, but it seems to be superfluous. There must be something strange about this matter!

Zai Yu said with a wry smile: "Even so, I'm afraid Si Kou doesn't understand the Master's temperament, and if you make mistakes, you must be responsible. If you make mistakes and don't change them, it's a mistake. After the robbery has subsided and the Central Capital is taken care of, the Master will probably Resign yourself."

"Oh. How could that be?"

"Let's not say that Zhongdu, who has worked so hard, has been harmed like this. It is said that a few days ago, the robber went in person and argued with the master under the city wall. The master is known as a scholar, but he never mentioned him. ."

Zai Yu shook his head as he spoke, which seemed to be more regrettable than the fact that Zhongdu Wai Guo was broken.

Speaking of thieves. When Wu Xie left Lucheng, he heard Liu Xiaji talk about his younger brother in detail.

Liu Xiazhi's life experience is similar to that of Shusun's vertical ox. It was originally born by Dr. Liuxia and the woman Yehe of Onozawa. After living abroad for more than ten years, he returned to Liuxia's family, so no matter Liu Xiaji put it on him. What a formal dress with a crown and belt, and the rich Zhou rituals of the state of Lu, it still can't change Liu Xiazhi's wildness and uninhibitedness.

During those years in Qufu, Liu Xiazhi was skilled in the six arts of a gentleman and was once very famous. He is eight feet two inches in length, and is known as "the face is bright, the lips are like sharp pills, the teeth are like Qibei, and the voice is like a yellow bell", and he is brave, fierce, decisive, brave, and able to gather people's hearts, so he is among the low-level chivalrous men. have a reputation.

In Liu Xiaji's description, Liu Xiazhi was resolute and upright, because Ji Pingzi sacrificed people to the Bo Society several times and had filth with the Ji family. He was also hostile to Yang Hu, who had "been rich and not benevolent" before usurping power, so he was expelled from Qufu, the city of Lu, just as Zhao Wuxi was feared by all the ministers of Jin.

Liu Xiazhi did not flee to other countries like the other expelled sons and doctors of this era, but gritted his teeth and plunged into Onozawa, where he was born and raised, with a few light warriors.

A few years later, Liuxia's name was gradually not mentioned, but a giant thief named Robber Zhi was famous all over the world! Known as 9,000 slaves, he roamed the world and invaded the feudal lords. The towns passed by, the big country defends the city, the small country protects, and the people suffer.

This "resolute and upright" robber who asked not to kill as much as possible when he sent people out to loot, but was portrayed by the scholar-officials of the State of Lu as a cannibal who murdered like numbness, "feeding on the liver and feeding him".

Of course, the suffering of the people is also true.

Now it seems that he is not only good at military use, but also sharp in his words, so he can stumped Confucius, so Zhao Wuxi is a little more curious about Robber Zhi.

"I dare to ask how Confucius and Robber Zhi debated on that day. I heard it personally, can I tell you a thing or two?"

"Of course... Thief Zhi initially scolded the Master under the city."

"This thief actually insulted Confucius, can I keep a secret for the teacher?"

Zai Yu himself didn't think of this, he twitched his cheeks, but then smiled: "The villain needs to report the truth to the doctor, so that the doctor can understand this thief, so that he can destroy it in one fell swoop, he can only follow the power... At that time, the thief Zhi Call the Master by his first name, and call him a clever and fake person from the State of Lu!"

Robber Zhi believed that Confucius and other Confucian sects did not cultivate for food, and did not weave for clothing. They shook their lips and babbled their tongues.

His elder brother Liu Xiaji was friends with Confucius, and Robber Zhi was naturally very familiar with the doctrine of Confucius. He also heard Confucius's narration in Liuxia's mansion in Lucheng in the past, although he sneered at it at first.

This attack directly points to some flaws in Confucianism, which leaves people speechless. Zhao Wuxi saw that Zai Yu had no intention of speaking up for Confucius. Although he was very capable, he was probably one of the disciples of Confucius. A student who disapproved of Confucius's teachings and always wanted to sing the opposite.

"How would Confucius answer?"

"Master wants the robber Zhi to stop his army. Adopt brother Kun and make sacrifices to the ancestors. He said that this is the trip of sages and talents. And the wish of the world is also..."

The debate was very long, but it was extremely exciting. Robber Zhi has always been in the upper hand. All kinds of classics and histories are coming at his fingertips. Every word has its basis. There is absolutely no empty words.

Having said that, the night was getting dark, and Zai Yu also drank the third drink: "Robber Zhi finally said. The idea that Master wants to implement, to be mad and lose his temper and run around in the camp, is all tricky and hypocritical. It's all what he wants to throw away..."

Entrusting the falsehood to the propositions of King Wen and Duke Zhou, grasping the public opinion of the scholar-bureaucrats and the people of the country, you wholeheartedly want to use your ideas to preach to future generations. Look at you, the big clothes, the shallow belt, the pretentious speech. Hypocritical behavior, using etiquette to dress up, in order to confuse the princes of the world, and want to ask for high rank and wealth. Back to old customs. It is a great sinner to keep the evil habit for eternity!

Robber Zhi's last words were extremely arrogant: "There is no one greater than you among the robbers. Why don't people in the world call you Robber Hill. And call me Robber Zhi!?"

"Master was dumbfounded, and then went down to the city. Afterwards, he said to us: Robber Zhi is too stubborn, and I did this as if I had done acupuncture myself.

Zhao Wuxi recalled Confucius' first half of his life. He was indeed like a perfectionist. No matter in Qi or Lu, if the Tao was not good, the monarch would not like it, and most of them were unwilling to put up with it, but left resolutely, and Yang Hu was forced to bow his head that time one time. Although the injury was not serious this time, he seemed to have suffered a certain blow mentally. In addition to the fact that the middle of his life's hard work was broken, it was probably Robber Zhi's sharp words that shook his philosophy a little...

Zhao Wuxi agreed with the words of Robber Zhi, and some disagreed with them.

He thought to himself: "Robber Zhi is indeed as Liu Xiaji described as a man. His heart is like a spring, and his mind is like a wind. He is strong enough to distance himself from the enemy, and he is strong enough to disguise himself. If you go with your heart, you will be happy, and if you go against your heart, you will be angry. , it's easy to insult people..."

Seeing that the fire was almost over, Zai Yu worshipped again: "Master has been dormant for half his life, and it was hard to get a chance to display his ambitions, but he was completely destroyed by this robbery, and I hope Si Kou can restore one or two. Zhongdu has already Being accustomed to the master’s governance, only our brothers and sisters can restore this town as soon as possible, even if the position of the master cannot be kept, if one of us can inherit the position, it can be said to be a great blessing…”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Wuxi with burning eyes, and there was a passion and desire for power in it.

Zhao Wuxi sneered secretly, his heart was really like that.

He guessed right, Zai Yu came today, asking Zhao Wuxi for help for Confucius was a pretense in front of him, and seeking the duty of Zhongdu Zai was his real purpose.

Zai Yu is indeed very utilitarian, smart, and capable of doing things.

But from the bottom of my heart, Zhao Wuxi didn't like to slaughter people like this! There was nothing wrong with seeking benefits for himself, but the teacher who taught the industry was still lying on the sickbed, so he ran over to Zhao Wuxi and made various hints. He even did not hesitate to utter the words of Confucius's words as they were. Compared with Zigong, Zilu, and Ran Qiulai, who were both talented and virtuous, they were really inferior.

But he is also the person who Zhao Wuxi can make use of without spending too much energy and price...

So Wuxi said: "Indeed, I am also worried about whether Confucius's body is still suitable for work, so I might as well retreat and write a book. It would be more suitable for a worthy and talented disciple to take over in Zhongdu City..."

He stretched out his hand and said to the person opposite him, "In my opinion, Zi I is the best candidate!"

Hearing that, Zai Yu was overjoyed, and hurriedly avoided the banquet to pay his respects again.

Several high-ranking disciples in the departments of morality, speech and political affairs under Confucius' school, now Zilu, Zigong, and Ran Qiu all have their own duties. Others either have insufficient qualifications, or are virtuous and incompetent. Considering the stability of the Central Capital, only Zai Yu is the most suitable successor.

"Although my position is low and my title is not high, if I have the opportunity, I will definitely help out. If it happens, can I be the leader?"

Zai Yu didn't hesitate about this, and he actually greeted Zhao Wuxi, who was younger than him, as a minister and bowed his head: "That's right!"

The election of the master, that is, the recommender, has been in the township since the Western Zhou Dynasty through the township shooting ceremony to recommend the worthy.

Among them, the recommender is called the leader. From ancient times to later generations, the relationship between the leader and the person recommended is only slightly worse than that of the ruler and the minister!

To communicate with a person like Zai Yu, you don't need to talk about morality, just show the benefits. From the moment Zai Yu decided to ask Zhao Wuxi for help and wanted to get the job of the sect of the Central Capital City, he has probably already done it. This preparation.

Wu Xie helped Zai Yu: "It's good, Zhongdu is located between Xibi and Lucheng, and the four directions are connected. In the future, you and I can support each other a lot..."

But now, Zhao Wuxi is also equivalent to including Zhongduyi into his sphere of influence.

After Zai Yu retired and said goodbye~www.wuxiahere.com~ Zhao Wuxi walked out of the camp, looked at the bright moon in the sky and thought to himself: "Robber Zhi calls himself a great thief, and thinks Confucius is a thief of etiquette, and I am not wrong. A city thief?"

Zhao Wuxi didn't want to be a mere thief. If he wanted to do it, he would have to take advantage of the current situation and become a big thief that made the rotten Shi Qing Shilu of the Lu country talk about it!

After today's events, Wu Xie has a deeper understanding of the person Dao Zhi, and he has also rapidly improved his status in his heart. He should pay more attention to it than Yang Hu and San Huan, and should be regarded as the most terrible competitor in the country of Lu. Come and see!

Zhao Wuxi was not afraid that the robbers would take the lead, but that the robbers had their own ideas and came up with a program of rebellion!

Of course, his ultimate goal is not to exterminate the robbers, nor to support the rejuvenation of the Lu Kingdom, but to sweep the entire Lu Xibian and have enough power to return to the Jin Kingdom with their heads held high, and let those ministers who conspired to expel him. No one dares to stop the clan! (To be continued...) WWW.GEILIWX.COM happy reading every day
