Zhenguan six years of the New Year just after the end, Chang'an City began to lively, these two years of war has completely knocked the Northern Liao, Beijin into the dust, within ten years, these two countries do not have the energy to harass the Tang Dynasty, there is no threat of foreign enemies, coupled with the fact that His Majesty's new policy has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the court officials are Qingming, and the entire Tang Dynasty is thriving.

And from the end of the New Year to the Shangyuan Festival, it is also a time for officials from all over the country to visit each other, and Fu Nian's house is also very lively, but Fu Nian is a great master and a scholar of the school, so ordinary people can't enter the mansion, but there are still many students who come to Chang'an to study in a long line at the door, and send the poems they wrote to the housekeeper of Fu Mansion, thinking that if Fu Nian takes a fancy to him, he will be famous all over the world.

Chang'an City in early winter is very cold, everyone in line is frozen one by one snot and does not change their original intentions, the old housekeeper is an old slave who has been to Lingnan with Fu Nian, so naturally he will not look down on people, every time the old housekeeper receives a greeting post, he will respectfully send a bowl of ginger tea, just because of this simple heart-warming action, although many people have been turned away, but there is no resentment at all.

The old housekeeper had just sent away a scholar from Jiangnan, and quietly rubbed his face, ready to deal with the next scholar, when a young man wearing old clothes, but his body was very clean, came to the old housekeeper and saluted: "Student Kong Ru came to visit Master Fu, please report to the housekeeper." ”

Kong Ru's voice was very loud, and the people behind heard that it was the people of the Kong family, and immediately distanced themselves from Kong Ru, and now His Majesty has only published an article in the newspaper, and this article is to scold the Kong family, so although the Kong family was sent to Liaodong, it is still a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouts and beats.

The old housekeeper was obviously stunned for a moment, but he was old and well-informed, and the old housekeeper could be regarded as well-informed for so many years, so he quickly reacted and said: "Son, wait a minute, the old slave will go to report to the master now." ”

The old housekeeper hurriedly went to the study, and happened to meet Lu Xiu on the road, the old housekeeper had something in his heart, and he didn't pay attention to Lu Xing for a while, the old housekeeper was startled, and hurriedly helped Lu Xing, Lu Xing asked with a smile: "Uncle Jiang, you are usually the most stable, what's wrong today?" Is there anything urgent? ”

The old housekeeper sued the sin and said: "Young Master Lu, there is a young man named Kong Ru outside who is asking to see him, and as soon as the old slave heard that it was a member of the Kong family, he thought about quickly telling the old man, and asked the son to forgive him for his sins." ”

Lu Xing thought carefully for a while, and didn't know a person named Kong Ru in his mind, so he waved his hand and said, "I'll go with you to see the teacher, Uncle Jiang." ”

The two came to the study, and after listening to it, Fu Nian sneered: "Hmph, what a big breath, dare to name Kong Ru, is this to regard my Confucianism as no one?" Okay, do you still have an impression of the people of the Kong family? ”

Lu Xing shook his head and said, "Teacher, the disciple doesn't know anything about this person, so I guess he changed his name." ”

Fu Nian nodded and said, "Okay, let him come in to see the old man." ”

Soon the young man of the Kong family was led in by the old housekeeper, Fu Nian and Lu Xing carefully looked at this person, and found that they didn't know each other, so they didn't wait for Fu Nian to ask.

Kong Ru introduced himself with a smile: "Master Fu, the student used to be a child of the side branch of the Kong family, and Master Fu and Mr. Lu will not know the student. ”

"Oh, then you entered Beijing this time on the orders of your patriarch?" Fu Nian still didn't speak, and Lu Xing asked beside him.

Kong Ru shook his head and said, "Mr. Lu is half right, the student entered Beijing on the order of the head of the family, but the patriarch is not the one that Mr. Lu knows. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Kong only died of illness last year by the patriarch, so the students entered Beijing on the order of the new patriarch." Kong Ru replied unhurriedly.

"Who's the new patriarch?" Lu Xing continued to ask.

Kong Ru pointed to himself and said, "It's the student himself." ”

"What?"

At this time, Fu Nian finally spoke: "Aren't you Confucians the most important? It seems that you, a son of a side branch, can become the patriarch of your own merits, you might as well show your skills to the old man, and it's not too late to talk about other things. ”

Kong Ru took out a book from his bosom and handed it to Fu Nian, "Please ask Master Fu for advice." ”

The name of this book is "The Essentials of the Five Classics", Fu Nian looks at the name is not bad, read it for a while, Fu Nian is furious, there is no it, just because this book is written shamelessly, the above through the Confucian "Five Classics", an all-round interpretation of the correctness of the Li family as the emperor, if you have to give this book a conclusion, then this book is to quote the scriptures to tell the people that the Li family is destined by God, the Li family dynasty is long live, to put it bluntly, it is a sycophant book.

Fu Nian snorted coldly after reading it: "You dare to use this kind of book to pollute the old man's eyes, it really makes no sense." ”

Kong Ru laughed and said: "Haha, Master Fu, the student feels that this book is the most suitable for you, because you are not only a grandmaster now, but also an official, you are different from Master Yang, Master Yang is old, and there is no way to go further in your career, and you are still young, if you show this book to Your Majesty, maybe you can go further." ”

"Are you humiliating the old man?" Fu Nian asked coldly.

"Isn't Master Fu tempted?" Kong Ru asked rhetorically.

"Haha, you're right, the old man is very tempted, you live in the house first, when the old man enters the palace in a few days, he will bring your book to His Majesty, if Your Majesty really appreciates it, then the old man may really be a little light." Fu Nian said with a laugh.

"Thank you." Kong Ru's grim face finally showed a smile.

After Kong Ru left, Lu Xing asked very puzzled: "Teacher, the student also read the book just now, and the student thinks that this is a book written purely for speculation, such a book is really insulting to say, and it will be shamed by the reader, if the teacher recommends it, won't it ruin the teacher's reputation." ”

Fu Nian sighed and said: "Okay, this time it's not that the teacher himself wants to take another step, the teacher is actually for you, you are the teacher's most proud disciple, sooner or later you will inherit the teacher's mantle, the prince and the teacher have a teacher-student relationship, but you don't, some time ago when the teacher gave the prince a lesson, the prince told the teacher about his experience of going to the Royal Academy of Technology, and the teacher only knew at that time that we had forgotten an important place, that is, the Royal Academy of Technology, so the teacher wanted to take this opportunity, Allowing you to enter the Royal Academy of Technology, on the one hand, is to make up for the shortcomings of Confucianism, and on the other hand, it is also to facilitate your future communication with the prince. ”

"The teacher's hard work, I know, please rest assured that the teacher has entered the Royal Academy of Technology, and he will definitely study hard and never disappoint the teacher's expectations." Lu Xing said movingly.

On the day of Shangyuan Festival, all the ministers will go to the palace to give gifts to Li Jun, Li Jun The day before, Dou Yiyi just gave birth to a son to Li Jun, and Li Jun named the child Li Chengjie, so Li Jun is in a very good mood today.

When the ministers saw Li Jun, they first congratulated Li Jun on his son, and then they took care of themselves and sat at the table, Dou Guan was also proud today, and there were many ministers who came to congratulate him.

At this time, Fu Nian suddenly stood up and said to Li Jun: "Your Majesty, a few days ago, the old minister got a good book, and I think it's not bad, so I specially brought it for Your Majesty to appreciate today." ”

Li Jun hurriedly replied with a smile: "Haha, Master Fu said that it is a good book, I must read it." ”

Fu Nian respectfully handed a book to the chamberlain, and then sat down again, Li Jun looked at it, and said with a smile on his face: "Haha, it's really good, Master Fu, stay after the banquet, let's discuss it." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the old minister obeyed the order."

Seeing this, the ministers couldn't help but be a little curious, but Li Jun and Fu Nian kept their mouths shut about it, and the ministers didn't want to ask too much.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Jun clapped his hands, and the two attendants came up with a thing, which was covered with a red cloth.

Just when everyone was curious about what kind of good thing this was, they saw Li Jun say, "Open it." ”

Liu Hong personally went down to uncover the red cloth, and everyone was surprised, under this red cloth turned out to be a person, and it was still a wax man after a closer look.

Li Jun sneered: "Ladies and gentlemen, this person is the person who killed the master, Futu, I am angry that he betrayed the master and defected to the enemy, so he specially made a wax man, just to let everyone in the world see, what will happen to the person who betrays the master?" ”

"Your Majesty is wise." The ministers replied in fear.

Today, Sima Da asked for sick leave, and Li Juncai dared to take out the wax statue, just to take the opportunity to knock on the ministers.
