Laughing peak east tour Lu country, climb Mount Tai, watch the sunrise of Mount Tai, the mountains and seas are connected, the morning glow is ten thousand roads, the scene is very spectacular,

The great rivers and mountains of China have always made countless heroes and heroes bend their waists.

Xiaofeng sighed, and the pride in his chest was agitated. Raise your eyes to the north, see the mountains in the north undulating, also extraordinary, the sea of clouds rolling, and the clouds and the sky.

Xiaofeng asked the guide: "The north of this mountain, is it Lu or Qi?" ”

The Lu guide pointed to the north with his hand and said to Xiaofeng: "This north is the realm of Qi country. Lu and Qi, since the Duke of Zhou and Taigong, have been neighbors for generations, with Mount Tai as the boundary. The north of Mount Tai is the country of Qi, and the south of Mount Tai is the country of Lu. ”

Xiaofeng sighed and asked the guide: "Qilu is a country sealed by the prince and the Duke of Zhou, at the beginning of the country, the status of the two kingdoms is the same, but more than 700 years have passed, the state of Qi is stronger and more prosperous and the state of Lu is weaker and weaker, why is this?" ”

Lu Ren guided: "Qi is a big country with a different surname in the Zhou Dynasty, and the status is respected, and then the world does not follow the Zhou rites, and the ambition is to annex the princes of Sishang, relying on the strong south of the state and suppressing me, so I am strong." Lu, the state of the surname Ji, the prince's country, abide by the Zhou etiquette, respect the son of Zhou, and do not practice the ambition of the king. Since the beginning of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the king has declined, and the rites have collapsed, but only the Lu State still preserves and follows the Zhou Dynasty etiquette system, and coexists and dies with the Zhou Tianzi. The weakness of the country of Lu today is just as weak as the weakness of Zhou Tianzi today. If you want to ask about the reason for this, the weak reason for Zhou is the weak reason for Lu. ”

Xiao Feng was overwhelmed with emotion when he heard this, and he respected the Lu people very much in his heart, seeing that this person was just a guide of the government, but he had such insight, which shows that the state of culture and etiquette of the Lu country, the country of Sven, is worthy of its name.

Xiaofeng went down the mountain, wanted to go from Lu to Qi, Lu people heard about it, and gave food and dry food, and said to Xiaofeng: "Lu, is the state of etiquette, the guest is the hero of Chu, came from afar, our country is poor and weak, and there is no way to treat it." Today, if you want to go to the country of Qi and see the people of Qi, you can tell him: Although Lu is weak, he vows to live and die with the Zhou Dynasty. ”

Xiaofeng agreed, then said goodbye to the Lu people, and Ding Hu went on the road, Ding Hu asked Xiaofeng: "Lu people let Xiaofeng tell Qi Ren's words, what does this mean?" ”

Xiaofeng said: "Qi is strong and Lu is weak, Qi wants to merge with Lu, and the Lu people swear to live and die with the Zhou Dynasty, so the Qi people and Lu have some scruples." The heart of the Lu people is to preserve the Zhou rites and continue the worship of the temple. ”

Ding Hu said: "Ding once heard that there are no immortal people, and there is no immortal country. The state of Lu has been nearly 800 years since the beginning of the closure of the Zhou Dynasty, and it is now so weak, but several cities around Qufu will be annexed by the great powers sooner or later. Why should the Lu people be like this? If the Zhou Dynasty is not destroyed, can't the Lu State die? ”

Xiaofeng sighed: "Lu people are concerned about the Zhou family, and there are Zhou Gong and Confucius, so why don't future generations remember it?" Although the country is small and weak, there are only a few cities left, the etiquette is still there, and there is no fear of Qi Chu. The reason for this is beyond the details of you and me. ”

The two left the state of Lu and went to Linzi in the state of Qi.

Linzi is the capital of Qi and the eastern city. Hundreds of workers are prosperous, commerce and trade are developed, the population is very prosperous, and there is a saying that pedestrians rub shoulders one after another, sweat into rain, and breath into clouds.

Xiaofeng entered Linzi City, saw the prosperity of hundreds of workers, pedestrians rubbed shoulders one after another, looked at its prosperity, and sighed: "Chu Duying, the city of Jiangnan, beauty and majesty coexist." Xianyang, the capital of Qin, is dignified and has the air of a tyrant. Weidu Liang, prosperous and heroic. Handu Xinzheng, the carriage and horse are gathered, prosperous and noisy. Suiyang, the capital of the Song Dynasty, is like the setting sun, although it is prosperous for a while and has the atmosphere of twilight. Ludu Qufu, majestic and dignified and showing the spirit of Sven. Today, all of them are in Linzi, the traffic is busy, the momentum is like a cloud, and it shows the atmosphere of learning. ”

Ding Hu couldn't help laughing and said: "Xiaofeng can be described as a studious person, and now that he has arrived in Lu State, he speaks like a Confucian student, and Ding can't understand it." ”

Xiaofeng said: "Confucian once said: Read 10,000 books, travel 10,000 miles. Today, I am waiting for heroes in the rivers and lakes, born in a reckless background, and want to walk the rivers and lakes, help the world, and realize my long-cherished wish, how can I not learn? When I arrived in Lu today, I learned about etiquette and culture! Before, it was not a foreign ear. ”

The two talked all the way, watched all the way, Linzi of Qi is an open city, as long as there are identity documents, people from other six countries can enter Linzi. Therefore, in Linzi City, there are three religions and nine streams, hundreds of people, and many people from six foreign countries.

Xiaofeng and Ding Hu found an inn in Linzi, and the two of them stayed in the store, preparing to stay in Qi for a while.

Linzi has Jixia School Palace, which is located next to Jimen. It was a higher education institution in Qi State, bringing together the world's scholars and celebrities at that time. The king of Qi treated everyone with solemn etiquette and granted high-ranking official positions, such as Mencius, when he was in the Jixia School Palace, he was appointed as a doctor, which was very honorable.

Jixia School Palace is a well-known scholar with a great deal of knowledge, and it is very prosperous in humanities and scholarship for a while. Zou Yan, a Qi person, was young at the time, and he studied in Jixia School Palace at this time. Later, he became a generation of yin and yang masters and the founder of the Five Elements Theory.

Xiaofeng first rode a horse with Ding Hu in Linzi for a day, and then returned to the inn, bathed in incense, straightened his clothes, dressed up as a scholar, and came to Jixia School Palace the next day to pay respects.

I saw that everyone has etiquette, their demeanor is extraordinary, there is no white ding, Xiaofeng and Ding Hu feel ashamed of themselves, so they came to the door of the school palace, tied their horses under the trees beside the road, and stood outside to watch.

Jixia School Palace was organized by the court of King Qi, and all the people who came and went were scholars, dignitaries, and ordinary people such as peddlers and pawns could not come here. Xiaofeng came as a ranger of the Chu Kingdom, and he could visit outside, but he still couldn't enter inside.

Xiaofeng admired the school palace very much, and wanted to enter it to have a look, but he was only a ranger. While he was watching, a young man suddenly approached, and Shi Li asked where Xiaofeng was.

Xiao Feng saw that although this young man was not very old, his demeanor and words were extremely elegant, and he hurriedly replied: "In the Hanzhong clan of Xia Chu, I heard that the place where the humanities of the Qi Guoji School Palace gathered, and I hereby travel to the East and come to pay respects. But it is a pity that the people in the west are contemptible and the people who are outside are not allowed to enter the grand hall of this palace. ”

The young man said: "I saw the two of you here, there was a hesitation, and I was strange in my heart, it turned out to be to see the details of the palace." It's not difficult, but it's okay to ask the two of you to come down and tell the doorkeeper to go in and watch. ”

Xiaofeng was overjoyed, so he asked the young man's name, and the young man said: "Xiaosheng's surname is Zou Mingyan, a native of Qi, and he is studying in the school palace today." ”

Xiaofeng followed Zou Yan to go, Zou Yan went to the doorman to say a favor for Xiaofeng, saying that there are Chu rangers who admire the culture of the school palace and want to enter the palace to have a look, this Jixia school palace is not a heavily guarded place, the doorman saw that someone was guaranteed, so he let Xiaofeng and Ding Hu enter to watch, Xiaofeng bribed the doorman Qi Guo's money of 500 Wen, the doorman also smiled and smiled, led Xiaofeng into the watch, only said when to see enough, when to come out again.

Xiaofeng and Ding Hu entered the school palace, and Zou Yan guided them and explained them.

This Jixia School Palace is similar to Zhou Tianzi's Biyong and Pan Palace, the center is a high-platform building, surrounded by water on three sides, and the school palace is set up on all sides of the pool. There is a library hall, a place for lectures, and a guest house for scholars to stay.

The scholars in the school palace range from the white-haired and well-headed old to the weak-crowned young men. Everyone was dressed in neat and decent clothes, and their manners and deeds were also elegant and elegant, Xiaofeng watched for a long time, and sighed: "I only know what Siwen is today." As for the borderlands, the villagers speak rudely and vulgarly, and compared with this, it is really the difference between heaven and earth. ”

Zou Yan saw that although Xiaofeng was not a scholar, he admired learning so much, and his heart was strange, and he saw that Xiaofeng was different from ordinary people, and he was a hero and hero, which was not possessed by scholars and scholars in the palace. Zou Yan was also curious, so he asked Xiaofeng: "Brother Xu is a hero of the Chu State, he should have walked the rivers and lakes, and he also admired learning?" ”

Xiaofeng said: "However, after traveling to Qilu in the next, I realized that I had spent more than 30 years in the Spring and Autumn Period. Life in the world, like a white horse passing through a gap, without learning, there is no skill, how can people not learn? ”

Zou Yan saw that Xiaofeng's words were sincere, and he had the intention of making friends in his heart. On the same day, he led Xiaofeng to visit the Jixia School Palace, sent Xiaofeng and Ding Hu out, and parted, Zou Yan said: "Xiaosheng is young and has never traveled far. Brother Xu is well-informed and admires learning, which makes Xiaosheng admire. When we met today, Xiaosheng had the heart to get to know Brother Xu, I don't know when I was free, and I was willing to get drunk with Brother Xu! ”

Xiaofeng said: "Thanks to the promotion, I don't dare to deserve it." Then stay in an inn in Linzi, stay for a few days, when you want to come, just come at night. ”

Zou Yan said happily: "Very good, Xiaosheng also lives in Linzi, and when Xiaosheng returns to his residence to prepare, please go back to the inn to rest first, and Xiaosheng will visit in the evening." ”

After the agreement, Xiaofeng and Ding Hu went back to the inn, rested for a while, and then instructed the store to prepare wine and food in the inn to wait for Zou Yan to come.

When it was getting dark, Zou Yan really came, Xiaofeng and Ding Hu welcomed into the store, greeted each other, and let the store serve wine and food, so the three of them drank and talked, Xiaofeng admired Zou Yan's knowledge, Zou Yan also admired Xiaofeng's heroic spirit, and felt sorry for each other.

Zou Yan was less than twenty years old at the time, and he studied in Jixia School Palace, and he was already a very learned young man. Xiaofeng is only a rough learner, and when he talks to Zou Yan, he often knows nothing. And Ding Hu couldn't understand the meaning of Zou Yan's words, and he couldn't interject, so he had to stare at the side and listen to the two of them.

After drinking, the two of them talked about entering Hong Kong, and Zou Yan suddenly asked Xiaofeng: "Brother walks the rivers and lakes, travels around the world, and has seen a lot of knowledge." A heroic person like a brother, why don't you go to Xue Gongmen? Xue Chengcheng recruits people from all over the world. If the brother goes, he will definitely be impressed by Xue Gong. Xiaosheng has not yet completed his studies, and after his studies are completed, Xiaosheng will go to Xue Gongmen. ”

The Duke of Xue mentioned by Zou Yan was Meng Weijun of Qi State, and Meng Yanjun attacked the title and fief of his father Jingguo Juntian Ying at this time, called Xue Gong, and was also an important clan in Qi State. Meng Weijun's name is Tian Wen, with fiefdom and Lu assets, recruiting people from all over the world, building guest houses and supporting them, has been famous all over the world, and his diners have reached 3,000 people.
