Chapter 244 The Six Arts of a Gentleman
"Kong Lingjun, I'm really curious, as a child of the Kong family, you didn't enter the official career, but you entered the martial arts, and you also took a martial arts eye, you come to tell me, do you like martial arts since you were a child, or is it for some other reason......
Di Yuanshan and Meng Tong are both burly and strong, and they can be seen to be martial arts practitioners.
Kong Lingjun looks white and clean, very gentle, saying that he is a scholar who has no power to restrain chickens, and some people must believe him, saying that he is a martial artist who can kill the enemy with a gun on a horse and can kill on foot when he gets off a horse, Guo Zongxun is a little unconvinced.
But the facts are the facts, Kong Lingjun was only slightly inferior in martial arts when he competed with Di Yuanshan and Meng Tong for the martial champion, but his level in the art of war and tactics was much higher than that of Di Yuanshan and Meng Tong.
"The minister Kong Lingjun returned to His Majesty's words, the minister is a son of the Confucian family, and he wants to become a real gentleman in the mouth of the ancestors, the ancestors said that the gentleman has six arts, and the six arts can be called a gentleman, and the minister is just working hard to practice, and it is still far from the gentleman that the ancestor said."
The six arts of the gentleman, the number of lile shooting royal books, among them, shooting, can refer to martial arts in general, not just archery.
Guo Zongxun was very happy and continued to ask:
"I ask you again, do the children of the Confucian family remember the teachings of Master Confucius as you do?"
"The minister is ashamed, now the Confucian family, there are very few people who can uphold the virtue of the ancestors."
Kong Lingjun's answer this time made Guo Zongxun a little strange:
"I listen to your tone, it seems that I am very disappointed in the current Kong family, I don't know if what I said is right?"
Kong Lingjun hurriedly bowed down and said:
"Your Majesty, it's the minister's gaffe, the minister shouldn't say these thoughts, let alone be dissatisfied with the family, and the minister is guilty."
Guo Zongxun smiled, and said in his heart, where is your sin, it is simply a charcoal to me.
The Kong family, just Chong and people like you Kong Lingjun, I think that it can still be rescued.
"I forgive you for your innocence, all right, I won't talk about this today, come, drink this cup full, and be faithful to the country."
In front of so many people, Guo Zongxun didn't have a good idea of what to say to Kong Lingjun, and it was over with a haha, because he still had to give wine to the rest of the martial arts, which he had to do one by one.
It is necessary to keep in mind that after they passed the examination, the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty personally met with them, and they still met one by one, spoke one by one, and told them one by one to be loyal to the country.
This is Guo Zongxun increasing the sense of mission to the new science and technology martial arts people.
When Guo Zongxun walked up to Xiao Qinai, Xiao Qinai hurriedly saluted Guo Zongxun with Han etiquette.
"Xiao Qinai, you can use the etiquette of your Khitan people to salute me, and in my Great Zhou, I will respect the ethnic customs and etiquette of each of you."
Xiao Qinai was moved in his heart, the Khitan people have now been scared by the Great Zhou, this time the Xiao family sent him to be a stepping stone, to see if there is a chance to surrender to the Great Zhou Emperor.
Therefore, Xiao Qinai tried his best to win in the martial arts arena, but he would never make a dead move, and he was praised by the chief examiner Yue Fei for this.
"Foreign Minister ......"
Xiao Qinai just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Guo Zongxun: "Why, you still don't want to be a citizen of the Great Zhou, and you still call yourself a foreign minister to me?" ”
Xiao Qi was overjoyed, he was also afraid that the Great Zhou Emperor was just teasing them Khitans, and he didn't dare to be like everyone else, and he was a vassal to Guo Zongxun.
"The minister knows the crime, and the minister can become the people of the Great Zhou, which is the supreme glory given by His Majesty, and the minister's family will definitely be proud of the minister."
Guo Zongxun looked at Xiao Qinai, who was excited and kneeling and kowtowing, and his thoughts instantly returned to the era of 2020.
In the 2020s, English was the universal language of the world, and students in the Celestial Empire were forced to learn ABCD from an early age, forced to learn a language that they probably would not use in their lifetimes.
It's actually quite time-consuming, well, and brain-consuming.
It is said that the Celestial Empire is about to introduce a policy of canceling the English test for the college entrance examination, so hurry up and introduce it, everyone is looking forward to it.
However, if I really changed history in the Great Zhou, the descendants of the Celestial Empire, you should thank me.
My Great Zhou, no matter what nationality you are, as long as you are a capable person, as long as you aspire to become a citizen of the Great Zhou, I will give you a chance, but there are also conditions.
Only those who are proficient in Chinese are eligible to join the Great Zhou nationality.
I want to make Chinese a global language.
What English, to hell with it, haha.
"Xiao Qinai, I heard Yue Aiqing say that you are a person who pays great attention to martial virtues, this is not like the wolf style of your Khitans."
Guo Zongxun's words have the meaning of ridicule, he naturally knows that the reason why Xiao Qinai did not dare to kill during the competition must be afraid of the retaliation of the Great Zhou people, otherwise, his ranking may be higher.
"The minister does not dare to deceive His Majesty, the sword has no eyes, and it is inevitable to be killed and injured in the competition, these truths, the minister naturally understands, but the minister came to the Great Zhou for the first time to participate in the martial arts, and the minister brought the goodwill of our Khitan people, and brought the respect of the Xiao family of my Khitan descendants to the Emperor of the Great Zhou, and the minister is here to show martial arts, not to kill."
Guo Zongxun laughed, this year's martial arts department said that it was to test military strategy, but in fact, almost all martial arts were miserable in terms of military strategy, except for a very few people like Kong Lingjun.
Xiao Qinai is not a person who can say beautiful things at first glance, but what he just said is really beautiful words, and it is what Guo Zongxun likes to listen to very much.
"Xiao Qinai, I guess that these words were all taught to you by Xiao Yanyan, and among the younger generation of your Khitan descendants, only Xiao Yanyan has such insight.
In fact, Brother Yelu Xiu also has such insight, but with his current status as the Khitan prince, it is impossible to take the initiative to tell Xiao Qinai.
"Your Majesty Shengming, these words were indeed taught to me by Xiao Xuan, and she also told me to learn Chinese well, otherwise, even if I am in high school, I am afraid that I will not be reused by Your Majesty."
Guo Zongxun sighed in his heart, Xiao Yanyan, as one of the famous women who have left her name in history, is indeed extraordinary.
I can really guess my thoughts, and I can't say that I want to reward her well.
"Xiao Qinai, your Yanyan really guessed correctly, your Chinese level still needs to be improved, you are not fluent enough, I'm afraid you can't write military reports and military analysis in Chinese, then I really can't reuse you now, but I can allow you to stay in Kaifeng, learn Chinese well, continue to practice dance skills, and when your Chinese is completely passed, I will give you the opportunity to fight for the country and win honor for your Xiao family in the Great Zhou."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your Majesty, the Minister has a thought, the Minister wants to be a personal soldier by Marshal Yue's side, and I beg Your Majesty for permission."
Guo Zongxun looked at Yue Fei, the Khitan people worship the strong, and Yue Fei is such a person.
"This I can't be the master of Marshal Yue, whether I can become Marshal Yue's personal soldier, I didn't force it to Marshal Yue, you have to fight for it yourself, let's not talk about this, get up, drink this cup full, and be loyal to the country."
Guo Zongxun did not remind Xiao Qinai which country he should be loyal to, and how much cultivation Xiao Qinai could have in the Great Zhou army, Guo Zongxun had some expectations, looking forward to what kind of situation the Khitan Kingdom would form with the Great Zhou in the next few years.
