At the beginning of February, Wang Ben of Wancheng was sick and could not support himself, but in Xiangyang here, Heifu looked at the guy in front of him who was wearing a Chu suit and claimed to be his "old man", and quipped:

"Isn't this Shusun Tong? What wind is blowing you here? ”

The uncle and grandson flattered and said with a smile: "Villain, naturally he came looking for the wind of benevolence and righteousness!" ”

Uncle Sun Tong is indeed an old acquaintance of Heifu, the two of them met in Huaiyang more than ten years ago, and then Uncle Sun Tong entered Xianyang as a doctor, and after Heifu was transferred to the county lieutenant, he basically never saw him.

Heifu asked him to sit: "Why is this dressed?" Where's your high-crowned Confucian costume? ”

Uncle Sun Tongzuo said: "At the beginning of the thirty-seventh year, after the Fusu incident, Xianyang wantonly liquidated the party of the eldest son, indiscriminately, all the ink were punished, and the Confucians were also implicated and all imprisoned. I ran early and avoided the catastrophe. A few months after returning to Ludi, I heard that Marquis Wu Zhonghou had raised troops in the south, and he came immediately.......

It's quite a long way from Ludi to Jianghan, but it takes more than half a year? The devil doesn't believe this.

Heifu didn't expose it, and took a sip of tea: "So, you're here to defect to the Northern Expeditionary Army?" ”

Uncle and grandson channel: "The villain is like flowing water, no, a small drop of water, I wish to return to the sea!" ”

Heifu smiled: "It's a pity, you're late, there is no shortage of Confucians in our army!" ”

Lu Jia is considered a post-graduate of the Xunzi Lanling School, and he is a wild road, but this uncle and grandson Tong are the disciples of the Confucian family and the closed disciples of Confucius's eighth grandson, Kong Kun!

Heifu doesn't like Ruru, as early as when Qin Shi Huang Taishan sealed Zen, he saw the faces of this group of people clearly, and he talked about etiquette on weekdays, but he couldn't do anything.

is like Li Taibai's poem mocking: "Lu Sue talks about the Five Classics, and the white hair dies in chapters." Asking for economic strategies is like falling smoke. "It's basically the image of this group of people.

What's more, Lu Jia and Sui He are two, but they can roll up their sleeves at any time to make a cameo appearance as a lobbyist, Lu Jia also won Bashu for Heifu, this uncle and grandson Tong, in addition to eating a few more bowls of rice in the army and being a clerk, what else can he do?

Heifu casually asked, "What about your master?" Where are you? ”

Uncle Sun Tong did not hide it: "The master has an old relationship with Zhang Er and Chen Yu, and now Zhang Er calls himself Wei Xiang, so he voted for the pseudo-king of Wei and was named Wentongjun and Taifu." ”

This descendant of Confucius will really take refuge in others, and as soon as he votes, he will go to Zhang Er, who regards Heifu as an enemy.

Heifu shook his head, and basically sentenced Lu Ru to death: "My feudal monarch is much more valuable, and those who are not meritorious cannot get it, so why don't you follow the master of the Ru family and go to Wei Di to mix up an official and a half-job?" ”

Uncle Sun Tong was solemn: "Don't hide it from the prince, although Kong Jun is my master, he is old and often lives in Ludi, he really doesn't know the changes of the times, how can he take refuge in the traitor?" In this world situation, in the end, Marquis Wu Zhong will rule the world again and reach the world! ”

"This guy has a very sensitive sense of smell, bet on me to win, I'm afraid I don't want to put two eggs in two baskets?" Heifu secretly thought that this uncle and grandson were indeed not like ordinary Ruru, but he still showed disdain and scolded with a smile:

"Although you and I are old acquaintances, it's useless to rely only on flattery, not everyone in the Northern Expeditionary Army wants to come, anyone can stay, there is no need for useless people here, you can tell me, what can you do in our army?"

Uncle Sun Tong smiled and said, "Junhou, can you let people bring in the utensils brought by the villain?" The prince knows the usefulness of the villain at a glance! ”

Heifu was not polite to him at all, and waved his hand: "You are not a cripple, you have hands and feet, and you have no official position here, go by yourself, move by yourself!" ”

The generally arrogant Confucian student, seeing that Heifu was so rude, stood up a long time ago, waved his sleeves, and left proudly with a cold snort.

But Shusun Tong didn't think it was angry at all, and went out with a hippie smile, treated him as a treasure-like utensil, and hugged him in.

Heifu straightened up and looked, and when the linen cloth was undone, there was a pottery inside, three-legged and wide-bellied, which looked like a ding, but not very much......

Hefu asked him, "What is this?" ”

"This is Hu Lianye." Uncle and grandson channel:

In the past, Zigong asked Confucius: What is the gift. Confucius said: Women's weapons also. Said: What a device. Said: Hu Lian also. ”

He explained: "Dare to tell the prince that there is a kind of ritual vessel called Hu Lian, which is placed on top of the temple, made of jade, and decorated with jade, which is the most precious and gorgeous. Confucius meant that Zigong's talents, no matter what he did, could succeed, and his literary talents were excellent, enough to add glory to the country, just like Hu Lian in the utensils. ”

Heifu sneered: "Just you, can you compare yourself to Zigong?" Why has you been in Xianyang for more than ten years, except for the emperor, but there has never been a deed in my ears? ”

Uncle Sun Tong said with a smile: "The prince is very true, Zigong, it is a jade Hu Lian, and I am a pottery Hu Lian, although it is also Hu Lian, but the material is very different." ”

Heifu was immediately happy: "Go around, you should tell me, what is the use of this Tao Hulian?" ”

Shusun Tong pointed to the earthen artifact and said: "This Tao Hulian, it doesn't have to be loaded with grain, it doesn't have to be presented on the temple, it can do anything, what Ding can do, what Wei can do, he can do for him." Junhou, the villain came all the way, and relied on it to cook rice and porridge! ”

"So from now on, if the prince wants to use it to hold wine, he will fill it with wine, and if he wants to hold water, he will hold water, even if he wants to use it as a drowning pot, this vessel can be satisfied!"

There was a poof, but it was the guards in the room who laughed, and looked at this Confucian with disdain.

Heifu glared at the guard: "I don't have the bad habit of taking off the Confucian crown and making a drowning pot. ”

"Corporal Junhou Lixian, that's the case."

Uncle Sun Tong didn't care about the eyes of others, and then bowed and said: "The prince and the prince are fighting for the world, and the uncle and grandson Tongning can fight?" Therefore, he can't be a person who kills the flag and holds the flag, but the clerk is thin, the food is in charge, and the uncle and grandson can all serve their lives! ”

Heifu was convinced, shook his head and said: "Uncle Sun Tong, Uncle Sun Tong, you are really the most shameless Confucian I have ever seen." ”

"O prince."

Uncle Sun Tong raised his head and smiled, as if hiding a little helplessness: "Poetry, Ye Ye is shocked, and he is restless." Hundreds of rivers are boiling, and mountains and mounds are collapsing. The high bank is the valley, and the deep valley is the mausoleum. Those who mourn the present, Hu Mo is punished? ”

"Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, and banned poetry and books, and now the world is in turmoil again, in the past ten years, the sky has collapsed, and the changes are too great. Those who want to be faced, those who can't keep up with the times, are either dead, but also dying. But Shusun Tong, even if he is shameless, he has to live to continue the learning of Confucius! ”

Heifu bowed slightly, and many thoughts surged through his heart, he now understood the difference between Shusun Tong and ordinary Ruru.

He inherited one of the most important core characteristics of Confucianism, which is flexibility!

Mozi once arranged such a story for the sake of black Confucianism:

Kong was trapped between Chen Cai, and there were no rice grains in the soup made of quinoa leaves. On the tenth day, Zilu steamed a little pig, and Kong ate it without asking the source of the meat; He also stripped off other people's clothes to sell wine, and Kong drank it without asking the source of the wine. Later, Lu Aigong greeted Confucius, he did not sit on the table if it was not right, and he did not eat the meat if it was not cut properly.

At this time, Zilu couldn't stand it anymore, so he came in and asked, "Why is the master acting the opposite of Chen Caishi?" ”

Confucius said, "By! Let me tell you, you and I were anxious to survive at that time, and now I am anxious with you to seek righteousness! ”

At the end of the article, Mozi criticized this: "When they are hungry and desperate, they do not hesitate to take anything to survive, and when they have enough to eat, they use hypocritical behavior to whitewash themselves." Is there anything greater than this? This is Confucianism! ”

Zhuzi Baijia and other schools of thought are all jokers, and this story may have been arranged by Mo Zhai.

However, as an enemy, Mozi also said the biggest characteristic of Confucianism, the fundamental reason why they can win in the competition of a hundred schools of thought, and finally become bigger and stronger:

Not righteousness.

It's not loyalty.

It's not poetry, books, and music.

It's flexible!

Sometimes there is a change with a bottom line, and sometimes it is a change without a bottom line.

After that, isn't the entire school the "Tao Hulian" as Shusun Tong said? Compared with the real Hulian in ancient times, the shape is the same, but the material is very different.

It can be placed in the elegant hall as a ritual vessel, and it can also be placed in the homes of ordinary people, cooking porridge, cooking meat, and being extremely close to the people.

For the ruler, this utensil is really useful, he can hold wine if he wants, he can fill water if he wants, and even when he is falling, in order to survive, the feces and urine of the barbarian king can be contained.

It doesn't matter what you have inside, whether it's good or bad, as long as this layer of skin doesn't change, he can still call himself a "Confucian".

But in fact, the disciples and grandchildren who claim to be Confucians have little to do with real powers such as Confucius and Mengxun.

Even if in another 2,000 years, the books of ritual music and poetry are all ancient, they can still be decorated and whitewashed, put on a layer of "neo-Confucian" skin, forcibly linked to scientific theories, and continue to engage in Chinese studies!

"It's good."

"It's a good thing......"

Heifu nodded, he is also a pragmatic person, and he did not despise Shusun Tong because of this, let alone affect his judgment of reality because of the thoughts in his heart.

Uncle Sun Tong is really useful to him.

Heifu took his hand and said: "In this case, Uncle Sun Tong, then you, just stay for the time being." ”

Uncle Sun Tong was overjoyed, and bowed again: "Thank you, Junhou!" ”

Heifu asked him to get up: "Let me ask you, according to Confucian etiquette, can you use this Hulian vessel for funerals?" ”

Uncle Sun Tong didn't think twice: "The prince said yes, then he can!" ”

This is the standard answer, and Heifu laughed: "Dashan, I am just going to hold a funeral for the three of them, and you will preside over all these ceremonies!" ”

"What Confucianism is best at is the funeral ceremony, which is handed over to the villain and kept safe."

Uncle Sun Tongfu asked: "Dare to ask the prince, who is buried?" What should be the burial ceremony? ”

Heifu said: "The gift of the son, the gift of the prince, the gift of the secretary." ”

Uncle Sun Tong was stunned: "Those three people are ......"

Heifu said: "They are the second son of Qin Shi Huang, Gongzi Gao. ”

"It's Wuxin Hou Feng Wuxuan."

"And one more ......"

Heifu smiled: "My old colleague, in Jiangzhou County, died without surrendering, but he was rebelled by the traitorous ministers of Xianyang, and the Feng Zheng brother who was wronged and slandered!" ”

Lao Hei was heartbroken: "The whole door is destroyed, it is really a strange injustice in the world!" I want to redress his grievances for him, for the Feng family! ”
