Chapter 33: Blending in with Confucianism

From the late autumn of last year to the beginning of spring this year, nothing major has happened. Until the end of February, a major event occurred in the court - Ying political leaders led hundreds of officials and more than 70 Confucian scholars to Mount Tai to carry out the ceremony of sealing Zen.

Such a grand occasion is that Jin Ke wants to see it with his own eyes.

But Jin Ke knew that such a thing, especially the major events accompanied by many Confucian students, it was really inappropriate for him, the nominal queen, to go.

But Ying Zheng doesn't think so. The Zen ceremony is going to Mount Tai. Mount Tai was at the junction of Qi and Lu in the past, and although it was not far to the edge of Xianyang City, it was definitely not close. Yingzheng is gone, and there are many people who follow. There are months before you can come back.

Ying Zheng and Jin Ke have been together since they fought, but they have never been separated for more than a day. If Jin Ke really didn't go this time, wouldn't the two of them be separated for several months? Ying Zheng will naturally try to take Jin Ke with him.

"I am the emperor, I can't just listen to others when I say and do." Ying Zheng said, "I will take you to the Zen Ceremony no matter what." ”

Jin Ke looked at Yingzheng with a child's temper, and laughed: "You really look like a child with this tone!" You said you went to the Zen ceremony, what am I going to do? Let the world laugh at you for nothing! ”

"You are my queen, and you share this country with me!" Ying Zheng said, "I can go, why can't you?" ”

"The world shares?" Jin Ke said, "Yingzheng, you are really generous!" Aren't you afraid that I will covet your Great Qin? ”

"Coveted? Give it to you, do you want it? Ying Zheng asked. As Jin Ke is such a lazy person every day, Ying Zheng doesn't think he will be interested in this country. After all, almost every day, I heard Jin Ke complaining that he was too busy with government affairs.

"Who scarces your country!" Jin Ke said, "I'm tired to death!" ”

Look, look at Jin Ke's thoughts. In fact, the two of them have been together for a long time, not only Jin Ke understands Ying Zheng, but Ying Zheng also touches Jin Ke's temperament and temperament.

"You go with me!" Ying Zheng still said, "I really don't want to leave you for so long!" Those Confucian scholars are there by me! In fact, to put it bluntly, it was the group of Confucian scholars who were opposed.

"By the way, since there are Confucian students who can go!" Jin Ke suddenly came up with a solution, "Why don't I also blend into that group of Confucian students!" So that they can't object either! Anyway, those Confucian scholars haven't seen me! ”

"Blending in?" Ying Zheng's face was not quite right. Obviously, Ying Zheng didn't believe that Jin Ke could get in. Only then did the whole country find more than 70 Confucian scholars who were good in all aspects. It can be seen that there are not many such people.

"Why, you don't believe I can get in?" Jin Ke asked. The young master is also a person in the 21st century, although my level may not be as high as theirs, and I don't know much about etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, mathematics, etc. But I can't stop my fresh point of view! Confucianism has developed for 2,000 years, and the views I put forward are estimated to be studied by these great Confucians for a lifetime!

"Believe in it!" Ying Zheng said, "I still don't know your skills? "I'm really not afraid if I can't get in, after all, those Confucian students are also under my control!

"I'll go by myself, you can't interfere!" Jin Ke knew what he was going to do as soon as he saw Ying Zheng's expression.

"Okay!" Ying Zheng, who was seen through, had no choice but to say so

To say that Jin Ke actually has no good tricks. Jin Ke sent someone to investigate, and found an old gentleman named Guo Clanyan, the most famous of the group of Confucian scholars. Jin Ke decided to start with this old Guo. Once Guo Lao identifies himself, then others will definitely have nothing to say.

The old gentleman's life was very fixed. Every day, in addition to staying in the post house to study the Spring and Autumn Period, I go out to make a small pot of turbid wine and drink it while walking. Well, there are two things in this Guo Lao's life, one is books, and the other is wine. So Jin Ke easily had a chance encounter with this old gentleman in the tavern.

On this day, Guo Lao took the empty wine jug and went to the tavern to drink. As soon as I entered, I smelled a strong aroma of wine. Guo Lao looked around and saw a young junsheng tasting wine at the table, and the aroma of wine definitely came from that posterity. The aroma of this wine is not a small attraction for Guo Lao, who is addicted to alcohol. Guo Lao sat down at once.

If you want to say that this Guo Lao is an understanding person, he doesn't ask the tavern owner to ask for wine, but knows that this wine is privately owned by this little brother.

And this little brother is Jin Ke. This wine was made by himself a few years ago, but he didn't expect it to come in handy, and it came in handy at this time.

"Little brother, where did you get this wine?" Guo Lao asked.

Jin Ke said: "This wine? It's brewed by yourself! ”

"Oh? Then I wonder if the little brother can mix some of this wine with the old man? Guo Lao asked with a shy face. If it weren't for the fact that the taste of this wine was too attractive, Guo Lao would definitely not have asked people for things like this.

Jin Ke likes to get straight to the point, anyway, this old gentleman will know his purpose sooner or later, so there is no need to hide it. Otherwise, when Guo Lao knows, he will definitely be even more optimistic about himself.

"Old man, I still have a jar of wine! It's not impossible to give it to you! I just want you to introduce you to the next one, and also join this Confucian scholar, and follow the emperor to Mount Tai to seal Zen! Jin Ke said his purpose.

"That's not going to work!" Guo Lao said, "This is a big deal!" If we do, I'm afraid we'll all have to lose our heads! ”

It's still on the face of the wine, otherwise Jin Ke estimates that this old gentleman will scold himself directly. You must know that not long after, this group of Confucian scholars dared to scold even Yingzheng, the first emperor!

"Sir is so distrustful?" Jin Ke asked, "Why does Mr. think that he will mess up this matter in the future?" ”

"Little brother, do you know how important it is to seal the Zen ceremony?" Guo Lao suddenly became stern, "Like the Confucian scholars who are staying in the post house now, they are the most famous ones in various places!" The little brother also wants to participate, is there any fame that can't be achieved? ”

"It's a nameless person down there!" Jin Ke said, "But old man, do you just want fame, not someone with real talent and learning?" ”

"Little brother, it's not that the old man looks down on you! It's just that the age of the little brother is here, and it's really hard to make the old man believe in your talent! Guo Lao said. Also, among the more than 70 Confucian students, the youngest is also in his forties, and he has reached the age of not being confused. However, although Jin Ke is barely strong enough to stand up, he looks like he is in his twenties, and he should still be at the age of study.

"In the past, some people judged people by their appearance, but now Mr. looks at the age of the person, it is a bit arbitrary!" Jin Ke said.

At this time, Guo Lao also became a little interested, and said, "What are you capable of, little brother?" In fact, when this Guo Lao heard that Jin Ke wanted to help him, he already thought about this offspring with a different eye. No matter what time it is, there will always be someone to appreciate an honest person. Especially people like Guo Lao, who are very positive in thinking and acting.

"There are three reasons why Mr. Jean accepted me!" Jin Ke said, "My age is here, just to fill in the age gap for you, old man!" Second, it's this jar of good wine! And the third one is because when a matter becomes a major event in the world, no one in the world can stay out of it[1]. The Great Ceremony of Sealing Zen is not only the matter of His Majesty the Emperor alone, nor is it just the matter of the civil and military officials and the old gentleman and a few Confucian scholars. Everyone can participate. I'm just trying to do a little bit of my part! ”

"No one in the world can stay out of it!" Guo Lao nodded appreciatively, "Just little brother, can you represent the people of the world alone?" Why did the old man choose you instead of the more talented one? ”

Now Jin Ke is in a hurry, you must know that the words that made Guo Lao praise were plagiarized from a certain anime. Jin Ke only knows a little about Confucianism. If Guo Lao came up with an introduction to test Jin Ke's question, maybe Jin Ke could still talk about a few words eloquently, so that Guo Lao would like to see him differently. But now that Guo Lao doesn't ask anything, Jin Ke can't start a topic by himself! This is a bit too deliberate.

Jin Ke, who was in a hurry, suddenly saw the wine jar in his hand.

Jin Ke said: "It can be seen that Mr. Lao, you are a drinker, but Mr. Kong, the ancestor of this family, does not respect wine culture very much. He believed that people should not lightly touch wine except for the sacrificial ceremony. But I don't think so! "Shennong's Materia Medica" has an account of it, and our Chinese nation is the most prosperous place of wine culture. The significance of wine is far more than the need for sacrificial rites, nor can it be for the pleasure of the mouth, but should be used as a culture to express a ritual, an atmosphere, a taste, and a state of mind. I think the old gentleman seems to be a drunkard, but I think that what Mr. likes is only the detached artistic conception after tasting wine! ”

Jin Ke was in a hurry, but fortunately, he added an interest club in his university, and that club also specialized in tea and wine culture. After being nurtured in it for so many months, Jin Ke, a person who has no taste, also has a bit of elegant feelings.

Looking at the proud Jin Ke, Guo Lao said: "Little brother, what you say is a great disrespect to the ancestor of this sect!" Aren't you afraid that I'll hold a grudge against you because of this? ”

"The old gentleman is not such a person!" Jin Ke said, "Even if the ancestor is reborn, I'm afraid he won't be angry because he refuted his words!" Aren't we just paying attention to a mind? ”

"Little brother, you are good!" Guo Lao nodded and said, "Do you want to go to the post house with the old man?" ”

"No, no, no! There is a place to live in this Xianyang City! Jin Ke couldn't hide his happiness for a while.

"Then the little brother will go to the post house in three days!" Guo Lao said, "What did you say that night, you are going to live in the post house!" ”

"Yes!" Jin Ke said, "Mr. gives you wine!" Jin Ke handed over the wine.

"Wait!" Guo Lao said, "Little brother, did you forget to leave your name?" ”

"Oh!" Jin Ke slapped his head and said, "Old Guo, it's good if you call me to thank you!" ”

It's done!
