Chapter 123: Innuendo
Several carriages arrived at the door first, and the first person to get out of the carriage was none other than Lis. Novel щwlā
"Teacher, you're here too. He walked up to Xunzi and said respectfully.
Last time, Li Si came to visit Xunzi and ate a closed door, but this time Xunzi certainly didn't have a good face, and said coldly: "This time the son is visiting, Master Li has bothered more." ”
"Master Li only cares about reminiscing about the past, and does not introduce the subordinates. The person who came forward to speak, dressed in a dark official uniform, had a hint of evil on his face, and he said with a majestic and cold official tone, "Mr. Xun Kuang and Qilu Sanjie are famous all over the world, and Zhao Gao has long been longing. ”
Fu Nian said cautiously: "The CRRC Mansion Order is too prestigious. The little sages are just readers who don't hear anything outside the window, and those false names are just misinformation from the world. ”
"The good of the ancients are scholars, subtle and mysterious, and unrecognizable. Mr. Fu Nian is the head of Confucianism, and he didn't expect to have the true meaning of Taoism. ”
Zhao Gao's words with a knife obviously meant a warning, his gaze swept over Fu Nian, and finally fell on me, and there seemed to be a measure in his eyes. I can't help but feel a chill in my heart, Zhao Gao, a conspirator who is one of the few in history and a rare one in two hundred years, is really sharp and cold, as if he looked at it, it was a plaything in his hand. It was he who conspired to tamper with the edict and kill Fusu and Fuli Yong, brutalize the loyal Liang clan and destroy the Qin royal family, kill the king and seize the throne, and bring down the entire Great Qin Empire. It can be said that the key to the destruction of the Qin Empire is none other than Zhao Gao, a cancer hidden within the empire.
The scene in front of me is really a bit of a jump of thought and confusion. Zhao Gao is undeniably a veritable traitor, but isn't it his actions that fueled the flames of the anti-Qin forces, allowing the uprising to justify the name of the crusade against Qin II in the name of Fusu?
"Mr. Zhang San, people are here. Gongsun Linglong's familiar crisp numb voice rose high again and floated over. It added a touch of coolness to my original coldness and swept up a goosebump. I subconsciously glanced at Zhang Liang beside me, his face condensed as if he was contemplative, and he didn't care about Gongsun Linglong's enthusiastic greeting. In the face of Gongsun Linglong's attitude, his face was still so deep, which made me feel a little more uneasy.
"Mr. Zhang San is shy. Gongsun Linglong held the mask on the side of her cheek, smiled shyly, glanced at me again, and said in a low voice, "Mrs. Zhang, you have always liked to hide and say that you don't want to be conspicuous, why did you show up today?" ”
I just once said that Zhang Liang has many admirers, and I should not show up in a high-profile manner so as not to be hated, Gongsun Linglong is still in the mood to make fun of me, which is really speechless. I pulled out a dry smile, bowed slightly, and said disapprerovingly: "Mr. Gongsun, I'm smiling." Although the concubine is a woman, she was accepted as a disciple by Uncle Xun, so she naturally obeyed the arrangement of the master. Just do your best and abide by self-discipline. ”
Fu Nian Xunzi is here, how can I stabilize my posture, I can't live up to the consistent style of Confucianism to convince people with virtue....... and Gongsun Linglong doesn't seem to have any intention of talking nonsense with me, looking straight at Zhang Liang who is contemplative, his eyes are full of admiration and admiration, and the crazy autumn water ripples in his eyes can't help but give me goosebumps again.
"His Royal Highness Gongzi has arrived!" Qin Bing reported loudly. The sound of chariots and cars, the sound of neat and powerful steps gradually approaching.
"Prae. Xunzi said.
Everyone around me knelt down together, I was stunned, I didn't expect to perform such a heavy etiquette, in the Qin Dynasty there didn't seem to be any laws or conventions to kneel down, bowing and saluting was already a ritual.
And at this moment, I was not the only one stunned, Zhang Liang also stood there straight, his face was solemn and tense, and his eyes were full of strange feelings, both stubborn and unwilling. Is he unwilling to make such a big salute to Fusu? Yan Lu glanced at Zhang Liang with concern, and then motioned with his eyes for me to hurry up and salute.
I quickly knelt down. Fusu's carriage had stopped, and I glanced sideways at Zhang Liang who was standing again. I didn't think that he was also looking down at me as if he was thinking about something, the look in his eyes made me a little unpredictable, his eyebrows tightened again, and at the moment when Fusu stepped out of the carriage, he knelt on the ground, his knees hit the ground stiffly, without a trace of cushioning. It was just a salute, and such a resolute gesture made me feel a chilling breath hit me.
"Mr. Xun is the life-saving benefactor of the next, and I am a doctor of Confucianism, Chun Yuyue, and I am also your fellow teacher and friend. Fusu's polite words were marked with obvious majesty.
"Xie Gongzi is compassionate. Xunzi got up, and we also stood up.
Fusu glanced around at the Confucian disciples behind us, and suddenly asked, "By the way, where is the young man who saved me last time, why can't you see him?"
Xunzi said lightly: "This young man is my chess friend, he was young and intelligent, and wanted to keep him as a disciple, but he didn't have the intention of learning from Confucianism, so he left Xiaoshengxian Village in a short time. ”
"Oh, it turned out that he didn't learn from Confucianism, but he seems to have a lot of background. ”
Fusu suddenly asked about Tianming's origin, did he already know that Tianming was the rebel that the Qin Empire had been hunting?
Xunzi replied quietly: "We only talk about chess between us, so I don't know much about his background, and I don't dare to say anything in front of my son." ”
Xunzi said this, and it is very safe and reasonable to completely leave Tianming and Confucianism behind. Fusu nodded slightly after hearing this, a subtle look of relief flashed on his face, and his gaze shifted to face me.
There was a moment of weakness in his heart, but he still tried his best to stabilize his expression on his face, and bowed slightly to him politely.
His eyes flickered faintly, there was no doubt or consideration in his eyes, it seemed that it was still the same as always, trusting, caring, and today there was another deep color like pity and unbearable, I don't know where this look came from? Maybe it's just that I'm sensitive. I secretly exhaled a sigh, Fusu is still the same Fusu, he is still willing to choose to believe in me and believe in Confucianism.
Fusu's scrutinizing gaze stayed on Zhang Liang for a moment, and he looked down for a moment before asking Li Sidao: "Lord Li, hasn't that guest of honor arrived yet?" ”
"His people have always seen the head of the dragon but not the end, since they promised to come, they will definitely come. ”
Such a mysterious master, Fusu's invitation was not only late, but Fusu didn't mind. I looked at Zhang Liang with a questioning look, and he shook his head and seemed to know nothing.
Fusu moved to the village under the welcome of everyone, and just walked to the vicinity of the library building when he suddenly heard a crane chirping, and raised his eyes to see a crane standing on the eaves of the library building. On weekdays, there has never been a crane in the small sage village, and it suddenly appeared today, it seems a little strange, I looked at the people around me, all of them are slightly condensed, it doesn't seem to be a good phenomenon. After the fire in the library building, it was already a place of right and wrong, could it be that Li Si did it on purpose?
"The crane sings in Jiugao, and the sound is heard in the sky, which is the voice of recruitment. If I'm not mistaken, this building must have been a meeting place for the Magi. Fusu said.
"Childe Takami, that is the library of the Little Sage Village. Fu Nian replied.
Fusu was about to go to the library building, Xunzi suddenly said goodbye on the grounds of old age and indurability, Fusu did not have the slightest displeasure, Wen Yan agreed to Xunzi.
I thought in my heart, although Xunzi did not do enough to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, but this time the other party's intention was obviously to make Confucianism ugly, as the most virtuous and respected person in Confucianism, it may be more beneficial to Confucianism to avoid positive provocations.

"There are high-rise buildings in the north, and the clouds are in unison, which is in line with the portrayal of this building. Fu Su walked to the front of the library building, looked up and sighed, and ordered the guards who followed him, "Wait outside, don't offend this elegant place with the weapon of killing." ”
Li Si persuaded and said: "Childe, it's better to be safe." ”
Fusu looked at Li Si solemnly, and his face showed a hint of gloom: "This is Little Sage Village, what are you worried about?"
Li Si's face froze, and although he hesitated, he didn't say anything more, and took a step back.
Fusu stepped into the library building, slowly patrolled, and while listening to Fu Nian's introduction to the books in the library, he picked up a roll of bamboo slips, opened it and looked at it, and suddenly his expression changed.
He pondered for a moment, put down the bamboo slips and walked to the middle of the library building, and said: "After His Royal Highness the First Emperor pacified the Six Kingdoms, he implemented the policy of writing the same text. The order was to immediately abolish the original Six Kingdoms script and uniformly use the Great Qin and Small Seals. This Mr. Fu Nian should know about it, right?"
Fu Nian's tone sank obviously: "Yes." ”
"Then why are these newly copied books still in the original Six Kingdoms script?"
Fu Nian bowed his head and said solemnly: "The purpose of Confucianism to establish the library is to hope to become the source of our Chinese culture. The classics of the dynasties and generations can be passed down in their entirety. Only then can we pursue the merits of the sages and bless future generations. ”
"Does Mr. Fu Nian know the intention of His Majesty the First Emperor to promote the same text?"
"His Majesty the First Emperor was far-sighted, and he didn't dare to measure it. ”
"The text is the voice of the heart, and the text is not the same, which shows that the heart is not the same. For the Empire, this is the greatest danger. Fusu's tone was calm, implying majesty, his eyes stopped at Zhang Liang in the casual patrol, and he raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Mr. Zhang Liang, you seem to have something to say?"
Zhang Liang's small actions that he wanted to speak and stopped didn't want to be completely seen by Fusu. Yan Lushen glanced at Zhang Liang, and Zhang Liang also seemed to know, but he pursed his lower lip slightly, restrained his expression and replied: "Your Royal Highness, Zhang Liang just felt what Gongzi said for a while, and I would like to listen to it." ”
Fusu nodded thoughtfully, paced a few more steps, and said: "Since the king of Chuzhuang won the throne, the war has lasted for hundreds of years, and the root cause is the chaos of the people's hearts. His Majesty the First Emperor saw this, so he formulated this national policy in order to unite the four seas. This is the only way to completely solve the disputes in the world and bless the common people. Other than that, it's all trivial. ”
Fusu's words are stern and calm, and his arguments are solid, but what kind of means and how to implement such a national policy is another kind of proportion. How to seek common ground while reserving differences? It seems that the Qin Dynasty became less and less tolerant of the existence of "differences" under the framework system of Legalism and resoluteness.
Thanks to the teachings of the child, Fu Nian immediately asked people to re-use the small seal to copy all the books in the building. But we kindly ask that these origins be preserved in order to live up to the purpose of this building. Fu Nian said solemnly and sincerely.
"I can promise you. Fusu nodded pertinently, and said in a tone with a long way to go, "Little Sage Village has always been admired by people all over the world, so I hope that from now on, you will use Xiao Seal in your homework and daily life, and become an example for the people of the empire." Confucianism is the study of entering the WTO, and the king can not practice Confucianism, but if Confucianism wants to practice, he must pass the king. He paused, emphasizing in an accentuated tone, "Mr. Fu Nian, this is actually an opportunity. ”
The atmosphere became a little delicate, and Fusu's trip was indeed to give Confucianism a warning, but it seemed that there was a bit of unspoken envelopment towards Confucianism.
At this time, Zhao Gaoyu reported: "The guest you invited has arrived. ”
"Yes? Fusu walked down, stopped between us, and said, "Mr. Fu Nian, I heard that there was a competition with Guizhuang when Li Xiangguo visited last time, which was quite elegant. Confucianism and the six arts, Qilu Sanjie is not only outstanding in knowledge, but also famous in the world, so today I want to have a sword discussion, what do you think?"
====
Everyone gathered in the kendo hall, and Fusu was also seated, but he had not yet seen the so-called honored guests he had invited.
Fusu asked: "Zhao Fuling, you just said that the master has arrived, where is it now?"
"Childe, she's already here. ”
"Here, why then..."
At this moment, a distant female voice came out of nowhere: "There is no me in the world, I am everywhere." ”
The sound was so faint, and it seemed to be an illusion in a trance.
A cloud of green light suddenly appeared out of thin air in the center of the kendo hall, and the faint fluorescent ghostly flickered and dimmed, and the surrounding air instantly seemed to be condensed, and the atmosphere was silent and strange.
The green light slowly swirled, gradually changing into the pattern of Tai Chi. After suddenly dispersing, it returned and condensed into a vague human form, vaguely like a bewitching woman.
"And its light, with its dust, like or existing. This is the supreme heart of Taoism, and it is the same as the light. Zhang Liang whispered.
"Flowing with the world without being polluted, covering up oneself in its glory, mixing in the dust, not seeing the traces, but the real existence. This heart and this body are always 'rushing but not surging'. I groaned and memorized the interpretation in the textbook, sighing in my heart. Taoist philosophical speculation has actually become the supreme method of mind, and I wonder why I have taken the Tao Te Ching in college courses, why haven't I realized that the Tao Te Ching can still practice illusion and become a living person? There are so many strange things in this time and space that it really makes people a little dizzying! Inexplicably, there is a sense of watching a magic show.
"Mysterious and mysterious, the door of all wonders. The female voice sounded again, and the Tao Te Ching recited in her mouth was also quite ethereal and charming.
The diffuse green light dissipated, and a woman in green appeared in front of her, and the mysterious VIP finally revealed her true face. With white hair, but her face is a girl, her expression is cold, she holds the dust whisk in her hand, and gently swings it to one side. She is not like the fairy wind bones of Xiaoyaozi, so much so that she has a bit of arrogance.
On the one hand, the Confucian disciples were whispering, and it sounded like they were also surprised.
"Is this a human or a ghost?"
"Don't talk nonsense, this is the head of the Taoist Heavenly Sect. ”
"How could the head of the Heavenly Sect be a young woman. ”
"Master Xiaomeng. Fusu got up and said with a pleasant face, "When Confucius visited Lao Tzu and praised him, the world thought it was just a humble word. Today, when I saw the demeanor of Master Xiaomeng, I knew that it was a heartfelt statement. ”
"There is often no desire to observe its wonder, and there is often a desire to observe it. That's just that Confucius's realm has not yet arrived, otherwise there would be no fuss. Master Xiaomeng's words were ridiculed, and his words were very sharp, which made everyone present dumbfounded.
I was also amazed by Master Xiaomeng's aura, and thought about what she said, about the story of Confucius, which I know as a modern person is roughly like this. Confucius admired Lao Tzu very much, visited Lao Tzu and asked for advice. He said that Lao Tzu is like a dragon, which does not seem to refer to the appearance but to the realm of Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu is not the appearance of a saint as we think, let alone the grace of our secular concept. Once Confucius visited Lao Tzu, who had just finished bathing and had just finished bathing, his expression was not like a living person, his body was immovable, his shape was like a tree, and his spirit was like abandoning all things and surviving alone from the world. And Confucius felt that only such a person could achieve the unity of heaven and man, and the spirit was free from the ** and above all things. Therefore, Confucius said: What I have seen Lao Tzu is also like a dragon, his knowledge is profound and unfathomable, his ambition is high and difficult to know, like a snake that bends and stretches at any time, and like a dragon that changes at the right time. Lao Dan, the real teacher!
But then again, although Master Xiaomeng's words are obviously disparaging and disrespectful, it can't be said that what she said is wrong, Confucius at that time did not have such a transcendent realm as Lao Tzu, so he would naturally sigh that Lao Tzu was shocked by heaven.
I didn't expect Fusu to borrow this allusion to deter Confucianism, although he was intentionally partial, but he was involved in so many incidents and pointed the finger at Confucianism, which must have also made him have a lot of scruples and precautions against Confucianism.
"Xiaomeng's predecessors, Confucianism is polite. Fu Nian said.
Fu Nian called this young woman senior, Master Xiaomeng's high level is indeed staggering.
"Why didn't Xun Guo come?" Xiaomeng said coldly, not giving Confucianism the slightest face.
Fu Nian said steadily: "Uncle Shi has long stopped asking about the world, and our juniors are not easy to force him." ”
And Fusu treats Xiaomeng with the highest courtesy, inviting him to take a seat, which shows that he attaches great importance to Master Xiaomeng.
"This competition is won or lost in three rounds, and there is no limit to the number of players in each game. If either team concedes in the towel, the match will be terminated immediately. Li Si got up and explained the rules of the competition.
Fusu added emphatically: "Today we are just talking about the Tao with a sword, and we must not hurt the gentleman's manners." ”
There was silence in the kendo hall, and it seemed that they were waiting with bated breath to see who would be the first group to appear.
Zhang Liang beside him suddenly got up, slowly rolled up the long sleeves of his coat, and slowly tied the cuffs. I haven't seen him dance a sword and tidy up his clothes so complicated and tedious on weekdays, today is really amazing...... It seems to be very weird! But his dress like this, a small change to look more neat and tough, seems to be a lot more handsome.
He tidied up, turned his head sideways and whispered to me, "Yun'er, you should also prepare a little." ”
"Ready, what am I going to prepare?!" I looked at him inexplicably.
He just smiled slightly: "Don't panic then, I'm here." ”
"Panic, panic what!?" I looked at him blankly.
He retracted his gaze, stood up slowly, and didn't answer my doubts, took the Ling Xuan Sword given by his disciple and walked to the center of the swordsmanship hall, fluttering.
"Confucian Zhang Liang, please advise. ”
Why does this Zhang Liang always talk halfway, so he is mysterious, it is really a big head...... I sighed, swallowed the doubts in my heart, and could only sit and wait for him to sing, to see what crooked tricks he was going to make this time......!

[Note]
1. In the novel, Fusu had already visited Confucianism and visited Xunzi privately, and it was not the first time he had met Xunzi.
2. There was no law in the Qin Dynasty that stipulated that the monarch and the minister had the ritual of kneeling, and there was no obvious etiquette between the monarch and the minister. If you are all standing, you just need to bow your hands. The so-called kneeling is that people were kneeling and sitting at that time, and the etiquette of bowing when kneeling is called kneeling and bowing. According to the plot of the animation, it is self-justifying that Confucianism unilaterally chose to kneel, and Fusu said that such a etiquette was too heavy and he did not dare to take it.
3. Where is it not properly written, children's shoes can point out ah~~~! The plot is also about to take a big turn...... If you have any ideas and requirements, you can put them forward~~!
