Chapter Seventy-Three: Shocking Change
Zhao Jia caught up with Fan Zeng and saluted solemnly in front of him.
Fan Zeng felt at a loss for Zhao Jiaxing's heavy gift, and hurriedly said: "Why is the son doing this!" ”
Fan Zeng is no better than Li Si.
Although Li Si is not from a good background, his heart is higher than the sky, and he is determined to be the hamster, and he even travels abroad to study and worship under Xunzi.
Therefore, although Li Si did not have much fame at this time, he was also a famous teacher, and his identity was gilded.
Fan Zeng is different.
The historical record of Fan Zeng began when he went out of the mountain to help Xiang Yu at the age of seventy.
Before that, Fan Zeng was just a hermit and didn't have much reputation.
During the Warring States Period, everyone chased fame and fortune, and most of the so-called hermits were only not reused, so they were forced to live in seclusion.
People who are really well-born and talented are few who want to live in seclusion.
Watch what Fan Zeng did.
At the age of seventy, he is still willing to go out of the mountain to help Xiang Yu, which shows that he is not the kind of person who does not pursue fame and fortune.
Otherwise, he could have continued to live in obscurity and seclusion until death.
There is a cloud of etiquette: if you can't punish a doctor, you can't be a courtesy.
During the Warring States Period, except for the Qin State, the attitude of the nobles of the rest of the countries towards the Shu people was not so kind.
This also made many talented people not be reused, and then left the Qin State.
Zhao Jiagui is the eldest grandson of King Zhao, Fan Zeng is just from an ordinary family, and he has no reputation, so he can't afford such a heavy gift.
Looking at Fan Zeng's helpless appearance, Zhao Jia once again had doubts in his heart, and he was a little unsure whether the person in front of him was the Fan Zeng in history.
"I look at Your Excellency's righteousness and thin clouds, I don't know if I have the honor to ask Mr. to talk about it!"
Although he was suspicious in his heart, Zhao Jia was still very respectful on the surface.
"Zhao Jia, you see that this princess has not yet made this heavy salute, but has repeatedly saluted a down-and-out scholar, don't you know that 'the courtesy is not inferior'!"
At this moment, the eldest princess of the Chu Kingdom, Mi Fu, was staring at her with apricot eyes, and shouted a little angrily.
She thinks she is beautiful, and her identity is quite outstanding, no matter where she goes in the past, she is the stars holding the moon.
But I don't want to, in Zhao Jia's eyes, I can't compare to a down-and-out scholar, how can I be happy in my heart?
Zhao Jia heard this, but his brows furrowed slightly.
In this era, it is true that the dignity and humility of status are emphasized, but it is a pity that Zhao Jia, who came from later generations, pays more attention to talents than these external things.
No one can choose their birth, but they can choose how they live the rest of their lives.
Judging people by their noble background, Zhao Jia was quite unhappy in his heart.
He turned to stare at Mifu and shouted in a deep voice: "The princess knows that she is not a concubine, but what does this sentence mean?" ”
Qi Fu raised her head proudly, and said disdainfully: "If you can't be courteous, it means that the nobles don't need to salute the people, so simple reason, how can this princess not know?" ”
Zhao Jia shook his head and said, "The princess's words are wrong. ”
"If the people don't sacrifice to the temple, the temple ceremony will not be reached; If the people walk in vain, the gift of the car ride is beyond reach; When the people see that the gentleman is not tolerated, the court's courtesy is beyond reach. ”
"Those who are not inferior are said to be inferior and also."
"The princess is the eldest daughter of the King of Chu, and she distorts the words of the sages, and she doesn't know it yet!"
Zhao Jia's remarks not only made Mi Fu stunned, but even Li Si and Fan Zeng were also thinking hard.
The etiquette is not inferior to the people, and the great Confucian Zheng Xuan in the Eastern Han Dynasty gave an explanation.
As for what Zhao Jia said, the latter explained the understanding of this sentence, but it was also incisive and abnormal.
It is not that you should not bow to the people, but because the people do not worship in the temple or take the car, they naturally do not need to follow those complicated etiquette.
The impact of this new way of understanding on everyone can be imagined.
Reflection Lake is already home to all kinds of people.
The movement here soon attracted a large number of onlookers, because there are not a few down-and-out people who come here, so after hearing Zhao Jia's words, the applause is endless.
In the crowd, a woman dressed in black looked at Zhao Jia who was talking eloquently, and then looked at the cheers of many down-and-out scholars, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
The woman's face was covered by a black veil, and others could not see her face clearly.
"This person will become a great trouble in the future."
In the woman's eagle-like eyes, a little cold light shot out, she looked at the eldest princess of Chu State, Qi Fu, and then at Zhao Jia, the eldest grandson of King Zhao, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but outline a slight arc.
"It would be interesting if both of them died here."
With a flash of murder in her eyes, the woman in black quickly disappeared into the crowd.
At this time, Zhao Jia, who was talking eloquently, suddenly felt a little chill in his body from his intuition on the battlefield.
The border city, which was originally standing on the side with a sword in both hands, also seemed to be aware of it, and his eyes quickly looked towards the place where the woman in black disappeared.
It's a pity that he only saw the bustling crowd.
Zhao Jia and Bian Cheng looked at each other, and they both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
"Sir, you go over and stand with Princess Mifu, stay safe."
Zhao Jia pulled up Fan Zeng and Li Si, and strode towards Qi Fu's side, the border city was tense and did not leave an inch.
Fan Zeng and Li Si were all extremely intelligent, and after a short period of confusion, they seemed to think of something, and their faces changed slightly.
"Where did you see those crooked theories?"
Before she noticed anything, she saw Zhao Jia pulling the two of them towards her, and immediately frowned and asked.
"Princess, let your guards come over, it doesn't seem safe here."
Zhao Jia did not answer Qi Fu's words, but stepped forward to lower his voice and said with a solemn face.
Hearing this, Mi Fu was a little stunned at first, then pursed her lips and said: "This is a reflection lake, less than ten miles away from Ying, and there are heavy troops stationed nearby, who dares to spread wild here?" ”
Zhao Jia's face was solemn, and he said: "Just now, I suddenly had a feeling of shock, when I fought with the Yan army on the battlefield, every time I had this feeling, I would encounter danger. ”
"Princess, please trust me!"
Bian Cheng also said in a deep voice: "What Gongzi said is good, I also felt a wisp of murderous intent, but unfortunately that wisp of killing intent was fleeting, and I couldn't capture where it came from." ”
Although Qi Fu was arrogant, when she saw Zhao Jia and Bian Cheng both of them so solemnly admonished, she immediately felt a little bad.
"Someone!"
"Chirp!"
Almost at the same time, more than a dozen crossbow arrows shot out of the crowd, and the targets were none other than Qi Fu and Zhao Jia.
"Childe be careful!"
The tense border city was the first to react, waving the scabbard in his hand, directly blocking Zhao Jia's body.
"Be careful!"
Zhao Jia pounced in front of Qi Fu, and almost threw him to the ground, but he was hit by an arrow.
"Protect the princess!"
Those few Yingdu were dumbfounded, and when they suddenly saw such a change, they were all shocked and turned pale with earth, and roared at the entourage behind them.
If Qi Fu is really assassinated here, even if these gentlemen have a great background, the end will definitely not be too good.
"Where are the guards, protect the princess!"
Xiaolan was also frightened by the sudden change, but she still pulled her throat and shouted into the distance.
"Poof!"
The crossbow arrow made a sound of breaking through the air and directly pierced Xiaolan's throat.
"Kill!"
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen men in various costumes suddenly came from the crowd with various weapons.
The target is Qi Fu and Zhao Jia.
