Chapter 109: The Lost East Corner Harvests the Mulberry Elm
"Lord, let's just let Tian Yuanhao stay there alone, there won't be any problems, right?" Zhao Yi was still relatively young after all, although he walked out with Zeng Yu and them, he was still a little worried about Tian Feng in his heart.
They are all readers, and they naturally know the pride in the hearts of readers, Zeng Yu's words are no less than shattering the foundation of Tian Feng's education for many years.
"Zirou, you don't have to worry, Tian Yuanhao is not that kind of fragile person, he can think clearly, the next time you see will be a reborn Tian Yuanhao." Guo Jia said beside him that he was also a person with a high mind, and he naturally knew his kind very well, so he was not worried, but comforted Zhao Yi.
"That's right, if Yuan Hao is knocked down like this, then he will not be called the crown of Jizhou scholars, and if he falls, he will collapse, and it will have no impact on us." Zeng Yu also gradually got used to the psychology of the superior at this time, and became cold-blooded about some things. But what he said is right, what he needs is a high-minded and persevering Tian Feng, so that he can give himself advice at a critical time, not a blow that cannot withstand the blow, no matter how big the blow is, he must resist it, and then he can really enter his core.
Before dark, all the soldiers came back one after another, but they didn't bring back any exciting news. A group of pro-soldiers divided into four teams and visited more than a dozen villages near the county seat, but did not find any news of Zhao Yun. As for the villages with the surname Zhao, because this place belonged to the scope of the Zhao State during the Warring States Period, there were especially many people with the surname Zhao, and the villages where the soldiers went, except for a few or two foreign surnames, were almost all based on the surname Zhao.
Zeng Yu knew that he couldn't blame the soldiers for this result, he said to Xu Yang and them, "Everyone has worked hard today, go wash your face first, I have prepared the food at the inn, and I will let people send it." ”
"Thank you, I will help the lord find Zhao Yun next." All the soldiers replied with their fists clenched.
"Fengxiao, I wonder if you have any other good ways to make us better find this person?" Zeng Yu asked Guo Jia next to him, if there is a way at this time, he may only be able to count on Guo Jia.
Guo Jia smiled bitterly and waved his hand, and said to Zeng Yu, "Although I don't know why the lord wants to find Zhao Yun so much, Zhending County has a large population, and there are dozens of nearby villages, some of which are even in the mountains and forests. We don't have the details of Zhao Yun's family, just looking for it by a name, Jia really can't think of any good way. ”
"Lord, why should we go to this Laoshizi Zhao Yun, with our brothers, we can also help the lord sweep away all enemies." Zhu Wen grinned beside him and said, in the end, he is also a military general, he naturally has the arrogance of a military general, and he believes that he can help the lord eliminate the enemy by himself, not to mention that he knows that he is assisted by Wang Qing and others, and he is a little puzzled by Zeng Yu's eagerness to recruit Zhao Yun.
"You don't understand, just think of him as an obsession in my heart!" Zeng Yu turned his head to look at Zhu Wen and said to him.
Zhao Yun is almost a perfect military general in Zeng Yu's heart, and in terms of martial arts, in the entire Three Kingdoms era, he is almost not inferior to anyone; In terms of the art of war and strategy, it is not inferior to any general; At the same time, he is not a thirst for killing, but he can perfectly carry out the orders given to him; He is a military general, but he can protect the territory and keep the people safe. But now he is the only one who knows, and there is no way to talk about it to Zhu Wen and others, so he can only express that he values him.
"Chengyong, if Zhao Yun is really a famous general, then we can't miss him. The troubled times are coming, people of insight will enter the WTO one after another, these people are either friends or enemies, and the lord insists on finding, naturally he has his ideas, what we have to do is to help the lord complete this requirement. Guo Jia walked over, put his arm around Zhu Wen's shoulders and said, he naturally felt that Zeng Yu valued Zhao Yun, although he didn't understand the specific reason, but just because Zeng Yu said that he had the posture of a famous general, he must find him before others, even if he can't be taken under his command, he can't let him fall into the hands of others.
"Lord, the brothers have washed up, just wait for the lord to come over and dine together." At this time, Xu Yang came over, all the soldiers had already washed the dust, and Xu Yang came over to inform Zeng Yu to eat.
"Let's go, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, let's not talk about these things first, let's talk about it when we are full!"
Don't worry about these, Zeng Yu walked to the restaurant of the inn, he knew that the soldiers must have been hungry after a day, and they didn't go, they would definitely not move their chopsticks. However, he also told Xu Yang to ask the inn to prepare another meal, which was left for Tian Feng. At this time, Tian Feng had not yet come out of the room, so he could only ask someone to prepare a meal for him alone and send it over.
Knowing that everyone may have a hard time in the future, Zeng Yu asked the inn to prepare meals with meat, and a group of pro-soldiers started to move after Zeng Yu moved his chopsticks to eat the first bite. In other words, these pro-soldiers, in the days when they followed Zeng Yu out, although they worked hard, they ate and drank very well, but when they smelled the smell of meat, they still moved their index fingers as usual, and their mouths were full of oil, so happy.
Zeng Yu specially asked the shopkeeper to serve a few jars of wine, and everyone ate meat and drank a lot, Zeng Yu, Zhu Wen and Guo Jia were not spared, and they also ate and drank together, which was considered relaxation.
After eating, Tian Feng still didn't come out, Zeng Yu asked the person who delivered the meal, what Tian Feng was doing when he went in just now. Tian Feng's meal was sent by the guy at the inn, and when the shopkeeper called him over and asked, the guy returned, "When the little one went in, he saw the guest sitting on the couch in the room, motionless. At first, the little one thought that the guest was sick, so he deliberately walked in and took a look, and it didn't seem like he was sick, but he was just out of his mind. The little one didn't bother, put down the meal and left. But something happened to this guest, and the little one didn't do anything, just to deliver food. ”
Zeng Yu saw that the guy was worried about his slander, and said with a smile, "We just asked you to ask about his situation, and we won't blame you for anything." ”
The shopkeeper let the guy go away first, and said to Zeng Yu, "Guest officer, the guest that the guy said just now is fine, he seems to be still a scholar, if something happens, the little old man can't hold it." If I'm not feeling well, I can have someone come to the doctor. ”
"He's fine, he's just thinking about things, and if he's really sick, I'll naturally ask someone to go to the doctor. The shopkeeper will go and get busy first, and we will settle down. Zhao Yi sent the shopkeeper away.
When the shopkeeper walked away, Zeng Yu saw that the soldiers also went back to their rooms to rest, and he said to Guo Jia, "Fengxiao, you will go to Yuan Hao's room tonight to take care of him, although I am not worried about him, but I still have to take care of it at night, so as not to feel the cold." ”
"Yes!" Guo Jia naturally won't refuse, he also wants to have a good talk with Tian Feng, and at this time, he can also help Tian Feng get out of the confusion faster.
After the order, Zeng Yu also went back to the room, and Zhu Wen's room was naturally next to Zeng Yu. Guo Jia walked past Zeng Yu's room, passed a guest room, that is, his own guest room next to Zeng Yu's right, and came to the guest room adjacent to the right of his room, which was where Tian Feng lived.
Guo Jia knocked on the door, didn't hear any movement inside, pushed the door, and found that the door was not locked, so he pushed the door and walked in. He saw that Tian Feng was still sitting on the couch in the room, staring at the front with scattered eyes, and as for the food sent by the guy, he didn't move a mouthful and was still on the table. When Guo Jia came in, he just rolled his eyes and glanced to the other side.
didn't treat himself as an outsider, Guo Jia pulled a chair and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and after drinking it dry, he said, "Haven't you thought it through?" ”
Seeing that Tian Feng didn't answer, Guo Jia didn't care, and continued to speak, "I often hear the lord say, it's really strange that you Confucian scholars, there were so many people during the Three Emperors period, where is everyone's life compared to now, why do you have to be King Faxian, trying to restore the ancient system." Is it really a good life to let everyone return to the hard life of the past? ”
"Hmph, if there was no Zhuxia civilization established during the Three Emperors period, how could there be today's Han world. Without Yi Yin, Zhou Gong and other sages, where did Zhou Tianzi divide the eight hundred princes, where did the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period come from? Tian Feng retorted.
"That's right, we have never denied the merits of the Three Emperors, nor have we ever doubted the wisdom of Yi Yin and Zhou Gong. But whether it is the Three Emperors, Yi Yin, and Zhou Gong, they all have one thing in common about what they have learned, that is, to make the lives of the people under their rule better, so they must also work hard in this direction. ”
Guo Jia took a sip of water and continued, "The lord often says that if learning is compared to a big tree, then the three emperors and the ancient sages, they just planted a seed of learning. When it came to the hundred schools of thought, it was this seed that began to take root and sprout, and Confucianism, Legalism, Bingjia, Moism, etc. were all branches that grew after the germination of this seed, and they all absorbed nutrients from the wisdom of the sages. This big tree can only maintain its vitality forever if it continues to receive light from the outside world and grows upward. ”
"But you look at what you Confucians are doing, cutting all the rest of the branches, and not going up, but trying to go back to the seed age. If Confucianism has been trying to do this, without reforming, then the society will be in a state of death under your rule, and the whole life of the person will be determined as soon as he is born. If you are the head of Qian, you will always be the head of Qian, you are a noble, even if it is a pig, he is also a noble, this is what your society will become under the rule of Confucianism. ”
After Guo Jia finished speaking, he looked at Tian Feng and waited for his response. Guo Jia's words revealed the scar in Tian Feng's heart again, he also thought of these before, and through his own experience, he knew that what he said was true, in the early days of the Han Dynasty, there was a certain possibility of a counterattack by the head of Qian, but now, there is almost no day when the head of the Qianshou is rising, as for the scholars of the Hanmen, they are still people with a little bit of assets, and it is difficult for them to get ahead, and Guo Jia in front of him is a good proof. Even including himself, if it weren't for some of the names of his ancestors and the reputation of Shilin, he would never be able to be raised as filial piety, but that's all.
"So what should I do?" Tian Feng asked.
"What to do, it's very simple, abandon the so-called schools, pay attention to the doctrine of taking, as long as it is useful to yourself and good to the people, take it and use it. In this way, I first have the right and have the land, so I choose to follow the lord and establish a new world. Guo Jia said as a matter of course.
"Feng, be taught!" Tian Feng stood up and made a long bow to Guo Jia.
