The battle in Yangguan had just come to an end, and the Great Song Wuyi ushered in a grand event, which was very lively.

The son-in-law Qiaoyu came out of the pavilion and married Xiong Ran, the king of Chu. Xiong Ran, the king of Chu, is eloquent and strategic, that is, three saints have gone out of the mountain to assist in less than ten years. The first is Muer, the saint of the Zongheng family, who studied under Langxuan, learned the art of Zongheng, and lobbied the countries. the second is that the young Chu general Wu Shengfu was wrong, and he marched south to Baiyue, all the way to Nanling; According to Wu Yue in the east, even the next three said; Conquered the country in the west, took the two places of Qianzhong and Fuling, and took advantage of the salt water spring salt. The third is the seedlings, the seedlings are Baiyue people, who can observe the heavens, observe the time, plant grains, and divert water for irrigation.

The seven generations of Ming Jun of Chu have expanded from generation to generation, from a small country of ten cities a hundred years ago to the Qinling Mountains of the Dali Dynasty and the south of the Huai River. The world said that Dali has nine points in the world, and Chu accounts for the third, which was the period of Xiong Ran's grandfather. Up to now, it is difficult to measure how vast the territory of Chu is.

Xiong Ran is assisted by three saints, and the national strength of Chu is thriving, in addition to friction with Wu Yuexiao, and the princes of the Central Plains have always been not intrusive, that is, Meng and Jiao raised troops to attack the Song Dynasty, Xiong Ran only proposed a slight punishment, otherwise with Song Xiao's temper, how could he be satisfied with the land of ten cities?

Song and Chu formed an alliance to attack Meng and Jiao, and the land of the ten cities, Chu did not take an inch of land, and all of it belonged to Song, and Song Xiao was more and more satisfied with this future son-in-law

The marriage of Song and Chu, one is the emperor of the world, and the other has the appearance of a sinking fish, which is simply a match made in heaven.

While the princes of the world praised this marriage, they couldn't help but worry, in terms of national strength, Song was the strongest in the world, and Chu was second. The marriage of the two great powers, just to conquer Meng and Jiao, both of them formed 400,000 troops, and the world was shocked, otherwise the three kingdoms of Wei, Chen, and Liang in the north would retreat without a fight and give up the border cities?

The marriage of Song and Chu undoubtedly made the prestige of the Song State rise again. Song Xiao's younger sister Song Ko is the biological mother of today's He Tianzi and the queen mother; Song Xiao's eldest daughter, Song Yao, is the main family of He Tianzi, and she is the mother of the country today; As for Song Xiao's eldest grandson, Qianxiu, he just married Zhilan, the daughter of He Tianzi and the son-in-law with a shy face, last year.

Song Xiao was originally the Taifu of Dali, and he married the Son of Heaven, and now he is married to Chu, how can Song not be prominent?

The more prominent the Song State was, the more uneasy the princes became, but they did not dare to offend because of the profound strength of the Song State. It was Xiaobai, the monarch of the Lu State, who conquered the surrounding small countries and did not dare to cross the Song Realm. The Song and Lu countries, the etheric behavior is in the world, and there is no war for the time being.

Just after the rain, the sting has not arrived, the wild geese return to the north, the grass and trees are sprouting, and the spring is full of joy.

In the battle of Yangguan, although Yangguan was finally recovered, Xia Di was killed, and the rebel general Meng Yi was killed, but the Song State, which had always been a thunderbolt, was undoubtedly defeated under the Houthi iron cavalry, and it was just in need of Chongxi.

The welcoming team of the Chu State was a full 2,000 people, and the vast soup came from Yingdu.

Qiaoyu had to marry, and it was a long way to go to Yingdu. When she went to Yingdu, she was no longer the son-in-law of the Song Kingdom, but the wife of the King of Chu. This trip to Yingdu is really not what she wants.

Qiaoyu had to marry, she had always been well-behaved and clever, since her father wanted to marry, she had to obey.

Others only saw that the Song State occupied the fertile land of the hundred cities in the Central Plains, but they did not know that the fertile land of the hundred cities had not yet returned, and the people did not all recognize the identity of the Song people, among which the old Qiao State was the most.

Song and Lu annihilated Qiao, which was a matter of the twenty-second winter of King Lihe, and it has been less than three years. Although Qiao Guo is dead, Qiao Gongzi Huai is still there, in the name of Qin Huai, he led 200,000 troops to fight the Song Dynasty with the seal of the Five Kingdoms, and Qiao Min was in turmoil for a while.

Not to mention the civil strife, Song occupied the fertile soil of the Central Plains, but as Song Xiao asked Zou Gu when he asked Zou Gu about the wine sacrifice in Luoyi Xuegong, Zou Gu said, Song was in the land of a hundred battles. The Houthis invaded the west, and Wei, Chen, and Liang invaded the northern border

Meng and Jiao committed crimes in the south, and Chen Bing in the east of Lu State, which woke up the temple of the Song State.

Kyushu in the world, Li Room and Zhongshan occupy Yanzhou; Jizhou has several northern countries, and the strong ones are Beiyan, Wei, Chen, Liang, Tang, and Sang; The land of Yongzhou is all to the Housthis; Song monopolized Yuzhou; Qingzhou has Lu and Dongyi; Wu Yue occupies the seaside of Xuzhou and Yangzhou; The three kingdoms of Fang, Qi and Shu occupy Liangzhou, and Chu has the largest territory, occupying Jing and Yang.

There are Kyushu in the world, outside Kyushu, there is Dongyi in the east of Qingzhou, there is Beidi in the north of Jizhou, Yongzhou is surrounded by dog Rong and Qiang, south of Yongzhou, there is Nanban; To the north of Jingzhou, in the land of Baiyue, Chu occupies half of it, and it goes straight to Nanling.

And the Song State is connected to the Housai in the west, the northern border countries in the north, the Qiang Chu in the south, and the Lu country in the east.

Therefore, Song Xiao had to marry a daughter, not only for the sake of being humble and able to marry the daughter of the Son of Heaven smoothly, but also for being able to make friends with the Chu State.

Song Xiao asked Zou Gu who the princes of the world have the appearance of the Son of Heaven, and Zou Gu replied that there was no one, but there was a bear. Youxiong is naturally not Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, but the Xiong clan of Chu State.

Although the state of Chu is strong and Jiangyue is vast, it has never had the intention of entering the Central Plains, and it is even more respectful to the Li family, and has always regarded itself as a courtier of the Li family. Whether it is the princes of the Central Plains or the Li family, they have relaxed their vigilance against the Chu State, allowing the Chu State to grow in a hundred years, and the current Chu State accounts for half of the world's territory!

Other princes don't know, Song Xiao naturally knows, in terms of national strength, I'm afraid that Song will be difficult to compete.

can only make friends, Song has no power to provoke a strong enemy, this is what Zou Gu meant.

Qiaoyu married far away, and the Son of Heaven came in person. The Son of Heaven has always asked less about the affairs of the princes. What a glory it is for the princes to marry their daughters and the Son of Heaven to come in person?

Qiaoyu married far away, and Meng Lan was close to her. This Heavenly Dao saint came from afar, entered Li as a prince, and has not assisted the Son of Heaven to fall into a son. In previous years, the princes conquered, and the weaker side would often ask Li for help, and the Li family would also interfere, although most of the princes obeyed on the surface and disobeyed behind their backs, but there was still a voice in Li. Menglan entered the capital for more than a year, and she didn't see the saint expounding the morality of the world, and she didn't see the Son of Heaven falling, and the world began to suspect that Meng Lan had the way of heaven as proof It was just a rumor.

Qiaoyu married far away, except for the three kingdoms of Yongzhou, twenty-three princes in the world either came in person or sent envoys to congratulate.

Qiaoyu married far away and crossed the river. The ice and snow melted, the aquatic plants sprouted, the swimming fish cruised, and when they saw the jade, the fish were fascinated, forgetting to float, and sinking to the bottom.

The welcoming team of Chu State was shocked, the so-called sinking fish is not a rumor. It's a pity that Qiaoyu is covered with veils and can't see the true face. This kind of national color, only Xiong Ran, who is far away in Yingdu, can kiss Fangze.

Qiaoyu married far away, traveled to Qinling, and saw Hongyan returning to the north, Qiaoyu sighed.

Why sigh? I have seen Guihong, but I have not seen Jinghong.

Jinghongjiang Wangshu, Qiaoyu waited for a year and a half, but I didn't see you coming to Luoyi. You are a shocker in the world, I have a sinking fish face in the world, but you really don't look at me?

Qiaoyu married far away and borrowed Jiaoguo. King Jiao personally sent twenty miles to Chu Land.

Qiaoyu married far away, and as soon as she entered Chu, Chu Min greeted her all the way to Yingdu.

What is the world's first swordsman, the world's first, but a girl's dream.

Qiaoyu sighed, and from now on she was Mrs. Chu.

Great Song Wuyi, Song Xiao was immersed in the sadness of marrying a daughter. Song Xiao has ten sons and two daughters, and the most favored is undoubtedly the little girl Qiaoyu. If it weren't for helplessness, Song Xiao would rather leave her in Wuyi.

It's a pity for my daughter. How good it would be if Qiaoyu were a man, this great Song world was laid down by Song Xiao for her.

Song Xiao's hair was gray overnight, and his seven sons were all in Luoyi, which made him feel more at ease.

"Qiaoyu, Qiaoyu...... "There is no more Qiaoyu, the huge Wuyi is empty; The rain has passed, but there is still no warmth.

Song Xiao was old, and it was cold in Yangguan, and Song Xiao stayed for seven days in a row before he contracted the wind cold. After returning from Yangguan, Song Xiao's body and bones were not as good as day by day, but fortunately, there was a doctor to check the pulse, but he was affected by the wind and cold, and there was no major problem, so Song Xiao was relieved.

Pu Miao, a famous doctor in Wu, heard that Song Xiao was sick and came all the way, but Song Xiao was gone, so he asked him to leave.

Not to mention that he was just infected with wind and cold, he was terminally ill, and Song Xiao didn't dare to ask Pu Miao to see a doctor.

Pu Miao is a famous doctor and a quack doctor, known all over the world. It is rumored that Pu Miao can live and die people, flesh and bones, and has the art of returning to heaven. The world knows whether Pu Miao has the art of returning to heaven, but all the people he has healed have passed away within a few months, and the world knows it.

In the past, the first king of the Li family was critically ill, and asked Pu Miao to see a doctor, Pu Miao received a hundred gold, and returned to Wu in a dashing manner, and half a month later, the first king died; In the fifteenth year of King Lihe, the old Wu Wang Nai was ill, and Pu Miao diagnosed the pulse of Naisu, and three days later, Nai Su died; In the twenty-third year of King Lihe, Da Li Taibao and Zhongshan Prince Kuang were critically ill, and Pu Miao was in Yanzhou, but in two months, Zi Kuang died.

What a famous doctor this is, who can be known to the world; What a quack doctor, who can be afraid of the world!

Song Xiao respectfully stayed away from Pu Miao, Pu Miao took the entanglement and left satisfied.

Meng Lan came to Song and went all the way to Luoyi.

Luoyi School Palace has always been a place where saints, sages, and talented people gather in the world, and the morality of the world comes from this.

The first saint son Chou was the sacrificial wine of the school palace, and the morality of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, loyalty, and filial piety was followed.

Before that, from Lao Tzu to Yin Yin, Huang Lao's learning is the morality of the world, and the rule of inaction is the policy of governing the country.

Idiot Jue, only stayed in the sacrificial wine position for half a year, and the saints came to a conclusion, and Zou Gu, the first disciple of Zichou, became the sacrificial wine of the school palace, but benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, loyalty, and filial piety are not the morality of the world.

Zou Gu is not only a Confucian sage, he is also a vertical and horizontal sage.

Zou Gu's morality is still unknown to the world. It doesn't matter to the princes whether they know or not. In the past, the sacrificial wine of the school palace was all Da Li Zhuchen. And today's school palace sacrificial wine has become a private minister of the Great Song Dynasty.

Song Xiao is a big game of chess!

Luoyi was originally a city of Qiao, although Song and Qiao were close to the water to get fish, but the school palace is not a country, but the world is common, sages, sages, and talented people also choose good birds and choose trees to rest.

Song and Lu Zhenqiao, although they repaired the school palace, but they took the school palace as their own, and the saints, sages, and talents in the world went to the school palace, and they were promised heavy profits by Song Xiao and took them for themselves.

For example, if today's moral obsessiveness, whether it is Zou Gu of the Xuegong Sacrifice Wine or Meng Lan, the Taishi of Dali, has not yet been determined.

Both of them are Zichou high disciples, both are heavenly saints, one is expensive for the school palace sacrificial wine, and the other is expensive for the Dali Taishi, but neither of them made a sound. If the saint is silent, there is still morality in the world.

In the past, the world respected the Li family, and the Li family took the learning of Huang Lao as the morality of the world, and the princes of course took Huang Lao's learning as morality; The Li family regards benevolence and righteousness as morality, and the princes naturally regard benevolence and righteousness as morality.

The Li room has long been in decline, and morality will naturally collapse. The morality of Zichou, the last common morality in the world.

After Zichou, the princes of the world have their own morals.

Among them, the Dali Dynasty has Menglan, the land of Yanzhou, which naturally takes benevolence and righteousness as morality. Song has Zou Gu, and there is benevolence, the land of Jizhou, Song Xiao uses the scriptures in his left hand and the spear in his right hand as morality. Chu has the three sages of Muer, Fucuo, and Miao, and the morality of Chu is to give birth to the people of Chu, lobby the princes, and conquer small countries. Lu has the Taishi Yin Yin, but also the teacher of Xiaobai, but Xiaobai ascended the throne, worshiped the Legalist sage and swore to be the Taibao, changed the inaction and ruled the country to govern the country with the law, and raised troops to conquer the small country, Qingzhou's morality is law and force. The rest of the countries do not have saints, and their morality is only to protect themselves in troubled times and prolong the country.

Meng Lan came to Luoyi School Palace, Zou Gu greeted him and asked, "Why did Meng Lan come?" ”

"Meng Lan is not here for the sacrificial wine of the Xue Palace, nor for the morality of the world, Meng Lan is only here for the ancestors and descendants." Meng Lan saluted. Zou Gu is a brother, Meng Lan is a brother, Meng Lan should salute, this is etiquette.

"Meng Lan still cares about these etiquette." Zou Gu returned the salute and said with emotion.

"I don't dare to forget the teachings of the gentleman. People are courteous, and the country is also courteous. "Meng Lan bowed his hand to the north, and Dali respected the north.

"Meng Lan is polite, and people in the world are polite?" Zou Gu asked rhetorically.

"In the past, the world was rude, and Boqi taught it. If you are rude today, Meng Lan is responsible. Meng Lan said.

Idiot Jue was studying in the school palace, heard Meng Lan's voice, put down the bamboo slip, and threw herself into Meng Lan's arms.

"Hello Mr. Meng." Jue seemed to feel that something was wrong, and clasped his hands again.

"Childish children are also polite." Meng Lan said with a smile.

"It's a pity that I'm an idiot who can't even read half a word." Zou Gu pursed his lips and didn't care.

This idiot, if you want to say that you are a descendant of Zi Chou, Zou Gu naturally doesn't believe it. Zichou is such a brilliant character, that is, Yin Yin, and he is also convinced. Zou Gu asked Song Xiao, and Song Xiao said that it was just speculation, but later the prince of Zhongshan Kuang sat down to confirm this statement, and Zou Gu had to accept it.

"Jue, is Mr. Zou treating you well or not?" Meng Lan asked.

"It's not good," Jue shook his head, smiling tightly, and shouted, "Mr. Zou asks me to study articles all day long, and always says that I am stupid." ”

"Where is Jue stupid, Mr. Zou can't teach," Meng Lan appeased Jue and saluted Zou Gu, "Please Senior Brother hand Jue over to me." ”

"Meng Lan, Mr. descendant, how dare I slack off, Jue is very good in the School Palace, you don't have to worry. It's just that since ancient times, if the sages didn't know the article, they couldn't do self-cultivation, let alone rule the country and level the world. I teach him articles for his good. Zou Gu rejected Meng Lan again, and the last time was when Zou Gu was serving as a wine priest in the Xue Palace.

"Could it be that Senior Brother really thinks that Jue is the descendant of Mr.?" Meng Lan sneered, "If Mr. has a queen, how can he hide in a remote place in Yongzhou?" If there is a queen, sir, how can you and I not know? ”

"Meng Lan, since he is not a descendant of Mr., why do you care so much? In the end, whether he is a descendant of Mr. or not, I will not let go. Zou Gu replied in a deep voice, and there was no room for negotiation between words.

"Since Senior Brother insists on not letting go, Meng Lan has to come back another day," Meng Lan asked again, "Senior Brother, do you know what is after the ice and snow melt?" ”

"After the snow melts, it's spring." Without waiting for Zou Gu to answer, Jue had already taken the lead.

Zou Gu was speechless and had to re-examine Jue. Meng Lan laughed and walked out of the school palace.

After the ice and snow melt, it is water, and everyone knows it. After the snow and ice melt, it is spring, and it makes sense.

In the past, Zichou boiled tea, and Meng Lan and Zou Gu served on the side.

Zichou taught that there are three kinds of people in the world, one is the person who grows tea, the second is the person who makes tea, and the third is the person who drinks tea.

The people who grow tea are the people of the world; The person who makes tea is the prince of the Manchu Dynasty and the prince of the four seas; The person who drinks tea is the son of Da Li.

Zou Gu was twenty-three years old and thought that he was superb in learning and art, and Zichou agreed to let him go out of the mountain. After more than ten years, Zou Gu practiced the art of vertical and horizontal, and finally returned to Luoyi School Palace to discuss with Zichou, and returned in defeat half a day later. Others don't know, only Meng Lan knows, Mr. only made a pot of tea, Zou Gu took a sip, it was all bitter, so he didn't dare to talk about it, and then worship Zichou as a teacher.

Zichou replied: "You have left the mountain and are the one who makes tea, but unfortunately you and I are not making tea for the same person." ”

Zou Gu practiced the art of vertical and horizontal to make tea for the princes. Zichou has the way of benevolence and righteousness, which is to make tea for the Son of Heaven.

Zou Gu is not Zichou, Zichou teaches that there are three kinds of people in the world, Zou Gu believes that there are only two kinds of people in the world, nine times out of ten are mediocre people, and one is not a mediocre person in ten thousand.

If the Li family is incompetent, he is the son of heaven and a mediocre person. In the world of Kyushu, there is a virtuous king; All the people of the four seas, the talented are the king.

The world only knows that Meng Lan and Zou Gu are both ugly disciples, but they don't know that the morality of the two is very contrary. Zichou is not dead, Meng Lan is not born, he inherited the mantle of Zichou and divided the world into three classes. Zou Gu was born, half Confucian morality, half vertical and horizontal magic, dividing the people of the world into two classes.

Although Jue was dull, Zou Gu always thought that he could be edified, and asked him to read the poetry of sages and sages all day long and learn the art of vertical and horizontal. It's a pity that the idiot is an idiot in the end, and Jue can't even read half a word so far.

Zou Gu asked Qi Jue how many people he remembered, Jue folded his hands, respected his mother, took Meng Lan as his teacher, Chang'an as his neighbor, and Yanzhou as his friend. When asked again, he didn't know anything, he didn't know anything.

So Zou Gu always thought that he was not a descendant of Zichou.

Zou Gu refused to let go of Jue, just because he was suspicious by nature. Meng Lan came to ask for help three times and twice, this son must have something good. The more Meng Lan begged, the more he refused to let go.

A gentleman has something to fight, and a gentleman has something to fight.

Today's idiot Jue's answer, Zou Gu was surprised and more happy, is this son dull? This son is not only not stupid, but one in the world.

The world is eight or nine mediocre, and the answer of mediocrity is that after the ice and snow melt, it is water. One of the world's non-mediocre people, or saints, sages, talents, or people who have achieved great things.

Zou Gu is naturally a saint, and Song Xiao is a great achiever, so Zou Gu is willing to join the Song Dynasty as a Situ.

Song Xiao has ten sons, and his sons are mediocre, so Zou Gu likes to cultivate modestly, so Song Xiao intends to establish humble cultivation as his successor.

"Jue, Confucianism, Taoism, Grammar, Agriculture, and Soldiers, which one are you willing to learn?" Zou Gu no longer gathers to let Jue read and read sages, and find another way, maybe it will have a miraculous effect.

Jue looked dazed and shook his head.

Zou Gu then remembered that Jue was an idiot, how could he know all the families.

So he patiently explained, Confucianism, Taoism, and Mo, and the peasants and soldiers were university questions.

"What did Mr. Meng learn?" Jue asked.

"The Art of Vertical and Horizontal." Zou Gu laughed, Meng Lan, you did me a great favor.

"Then I'll learn too." Jue suddenly became interested, Mr. Meng learned vertically and horizontally, and vertical and horizontal must be the greatest knowledge. If I had studied carefully, Mr. Meng would have been happy.
