Chapter 15: The Biography of Zou Gu
Zou Gu and Meng Lan have been fighting all their lives, and when they were children, they fought for farming and idle things, and Zou Gu was older, so Zichou preferred Meng Lan.
Later, he competed for poetry and literary talent, and Zou Gu was older, so Zichou still preferred Meng Lan.
Zou Gu and Meng Lan traveled to study and competed for Lianyu Wan'er, and both of them lost.
Later, Zou Gu changed to the art of vertical and horizontal, and after Zichou's death, he argued with Meng Lan for the word morality.
In the twenty-third year of King Lihe, the winter solstice, Luoyi School Palace.
Idiot Jue was pushed to the position of sacrificial wine, and on the winter solstice, the school palace ceremony was held, the princes gathered, and the saint came.
Luoyi School Palace is a holy place for scholars in the world, with noble literati and rural scholars.
The sacrificial wine of Luoyi School Palace is very heavy, and it can afford the word morality, so it is respected as the first saint in the world. Idiot Jue is just temporarily pressed in the sacrificial wine position by virtue of the identity of Zichou's descendant, and he is only inferior to the saints in the world.
He naturally can't afford to sacrifice wine, the word morality is too heavy, the Taoist first saint Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu two disciples Lang Xuan and Yin Yin, the first Confucian saint son ugly, which one is not a stunning and brilliant romantic character?
Morality, just two words, only a dozen strokes, even these amazing and brilliant characters dare not say that they can afford it.
Lao Tzu rode a bull across the Han Valley, Lang Xuan gave way to Yin Yin, Yin Yin retired and asked Dao Mountain, and Zichou was martyred. The fate of the saints is not very good.
From Lao Tzu to Xuanlang to Yin Yin, the two generations of the three people are all Taoist saints, and the morality of the world is naturally the study of Huang Lao.
Zichou came from afar to discuss the Tao with Yin Yin and then held the world's morality, so the world's morality became the way of benevolence and righteousness.
Back then, Lao Tzu had two apprentices, and now Zichou also has two apprentices, will Zichou also create a legend of two generations and three people who are all sacrificing wine for the school palace?
Zou Gu and Meng Lan each have half of their poetry and book talents, and the people of the world are also optimistic about the two.
Zou Gu is the first disciple of Zichou, and he is the most outermost saint in the world, the way of benevolence and righteousness in his left hand, and the art of vertical and horizontal in his right hand, which is really prominent. It's a pity that not many people know that Xuanlang is much more powerful than Zou Gu, at least he has revealed Huang Lao's learning, vertical and horizontal techniques, and peasant theory.
Zou Gu is very noble, Zou Gu canonized a vision of heaven, the bell rings, and the saint preaches the scriptures. Song Xiao, the king of Song, has long worshiped him as Situ and is ranked as the third duke.
Meng Lan is an ugly disciple, and she is as righteous as an orchid in the mountains. Meng Lan has followed Zichou all his life, not to mention that he is blue, at least he is familiar with Zichou's morality word for word.
Meng Lan is also very noble, Meng Lan came from afar, the Son of Heaven greeted her, and there was a vision of heaven blooming in winter. He Tianzi worshiped Meng Lan as the Taishi, and he was also ranked as the third duke.
How many Heavenly Dao Saints are there in the world? There are not many, only the first saint Boqi in ancient times has been recorded, and there are Laozi in the near future, and then only Zou Gu and Meng Lan remain.
Luoyi School Palace is in Luoyi, Luoyi belongs to the Song Kingdom, so Song Situ Zou Gu led the idiot Jue into the Luoyi School Palace as the host.
Meng Lan had already arrived at the Xue Palace, and the idiot Jue was overjoyed, behaved decently, and respectfully shouted: "Mr. Meng."
Meng Lan returned the salute, he was a little unbearable, Jue was just an innocent idiot in the western seclusion, why should he be involved in a moral dispute?
"Meng Lan, I haven't seen you for a long time, and now you are already the Grand Master of Dali." Zou Gu is determined to win the position of sacrificial wine, and he has to suppress Meng Lan in the moral battle, because he is a senior brother.
"I haven't seen you for a year, and my brother hasn't been used as a sacrificial wine?" Meng Lan knew that the difficulty of the Luoyi Academy Palace was Zou Gu's idea, so he laughed and ridiculed.
Where there are people, there are chessboards, and the chessboard of Luoyi Xuegong is not big, nor is it small. Where there is a chessboard, there are also players, the players of the Luoyi Academy, the princes of the Son of Heaven can't intervene, the sages are not qualified enough, and the sages are playing against the saints.
The dispute between Zou Gu and Meng Lan is a dispute over sacrificial wine and morality; It is also a dispute between the same sect and a battle between the saints of the Heavenly Dao; Or the dispute between the Li Dynasty and the Song State.
He Tianzi acquiesced to Meng Lan to fight for the position of sacrificial wine, and morality was in the hands of the Li Dynasty, so the sacrificial wine of Luoyi School Palace has always served as the third duke of Dali.
Song Xiao also acquiesced to Zou Gu and Meng Lan competing for the position of sacrificial wine, Song Guoguo is rich and the people are strong, and it is not empty talk to get involved in morality.
Starting from Zichou, the official doctrine of the world is Confucianism, at least in the Central Plains. Song Xiao has always admired Confucianism, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, faith, filial piety and loyalty, and Song Xiao is even more regarded as a guideline.
asked Li Shi, and three generations of the family married the Li family; Left and right conquest, ten times the expansion of land in ten years; If you don't do benevolent government, you will be punished with heavy labor, and a good one will be enshrined.
"Mr. once taught that a gentleman must do something and not do something." Meng Lan took the lead in attacking, he was the Taishi of Da Li, Song Xiao had a heart of disobedience, Zou Gu wanted to get involved in sacrificial wine, Meng Lan would not and could not stand by.
Zou Gu dabbled in a variety of theories, since Meng Lan talked about doing nothing, he threw out Huang Lao's learning and asked: "Doing and not doing is Huang Lao's learning." Meng Lan still let go of benevolence and righteousness, do you want to do it? ”
"Mr. once asked Yin Zi, Huang Lao's learning, is it not just doing nothing? I am Li Chen, I have to do it; You are Li Min, you can't do nothing. Zichou and Yin Yin discussed for three days, although Yin Yin was convinced, Zichou also had some benefits.
"There is nothing to do, Huang Lao's learning, don't talk too much, it's better to talk about the policy of governing the country, what does Meng Lan think?" Zou Gu obviously forgot about this stubble, it was considered a trick on Meng Lan, he no longer gathered Huang Lao's way, and threw out another question.
"Governing the country? What country is it? Meng Lan still smiled, but the meaning of doubt was full.
"Naturally, it's Da Li." Zou Gu made a gesture towards He Tianzi, how could he easily fall for Meng Lan? Although Li Tianzi is only the nominal co-owner of the world, even Song Xiao does not dare to trespass, let alone Zou Gu?
"Mr. taught, a gentleman first cultivates himself and his family, and then governs the country and levels the world," Meng Lan said.
"Is it a monarch and a minister, is it a father and son?" Zou Gu asked. The so-called monarch and minister, the monarch does the king's affairs, and the ministers do the ministers' affairs. The so-called father and son, the father has the virtue of the father, and the son has the filial piety of the son. There is a certain similarity between the governing family and the country.
Meng Lan nodded, and Zou Gu said again: "I heard that Liangzhou has a barbarian country named Fang, and the country of Fang has a Taifu named Ri Qin Boxian, and Ri Qin Boxian has a son, Ri Qin Sang, and Ri Qin Sang has a son, and his wife Huanyi was licked by a tiger, and his son became a great disaster in Bashan. Ri Qin Sang is a father and does not pity his son, and he is a son of man and not filial piety, which is not strict in education. ”
Zou Gu told an interesting story, which can be regarded as a model of father and son. Meng Lan knew that Zou Gu was not unintentional, he meant it. He Tianzi married Ri Qin Xiaocui, the daughter of Ri Qin Boxian, and Zou Gu was deliberately making things difficult for himself.
Meng Lan stayed in Taoli School for a year, and naturally had some friendship with Ri Tan Boxian, he asked: "Self-cultivation Qi family, father and son; Governing the country and leveling the world, monarchs and ministers. Does the senior brother have any objections? ”
Zou Gu shook his head and replied, "There is no objection."
Meng Lan continued: "Since Senior Brother mentioned Ritan, Meng Lan talked to Senior Brother. It is a fact that Ri Qin Sang died on the battlefield for the son of man and did not fulfill his filial piety, and he was a father but did not pity his son. Ri Qin Sang is not only a father and a son, he is also a minister. As a minister, he did ministers, although he did not achieve self-cultivation and Qi family, but he died in governing the country and leveling the world, Meng Lan admired. For example, today the Son inherits the way of heaven, governs all the people, and does the things of the Son of Heaven. The princes eat the Son of Heaven and collect the city, but they do not do the affairs of the courtiers. The king is a king, the minister is not a minister, is it not even as good as the barbarians who have not yet been educated? ”
Meng Lan's words were loud, that is, Zou Gu had loyal ministers in the fang country, which was a barbarian country, and how many loyal ministers were there in Kyushu in the world?
"Governing the country on paper may not be without the suspicion of talking on paper." Zou Gu didn't argue with Meng Lan anymore, after all, Meng Lan was reasonable, and if he continued to fight, he might be unhappy.
On paper, it comes from Zhao Kuo, the son of Sima of Cai Guo in the past. Zhao Kuo is familiar with the art of war, no one can match, Cai Wang was named a soldier saint, Zhao Kuo led 300,000 soldiers to the border of the Song State in the first battle. The army passed everywhere, and there was no grass.
At this time, the Song Dynasty was still a small country, and Miao Ku came out of the mountain, and 50,000 soldiers and horses across the country faced Zhao Kuo's 300,000 male soldiers.
Zhao Kuo was defeated, with 100,000 dead and wounded, and 200,000 captured, shocking the world.
Zhao Kuo ended up as a laughing stock on paper for his false name, and he achieved Miao Ku.
"You are not Miao Ku, I am not Zhao Kuo, since you are talking about state affairs, how can it become a piece of paper? In the past, King Wen invited Boqi out of the mountain, and Boqi was also on paper? Yin Zi and Mr. Xuegong discussed the Tao for three days and three nights, and the moral dispute was also on paper? Meng Lan retorted.
"Meng Lan, Mr. teaches, gentlemen do not fight." Zou Gu replied with a smile, "I am a gentleman and do not fight with Meng Lan." ”
"Mr. also taught that a gentleman has something to fight for, and something must be fought for." Meng Lan promised to make tea for He Tianzi, how could she break her promise?
Zichou has taught gentlemen not to fight, Zichou has also taught gentlemen not to fight, and gentlemen have to fight.
Zou Gu didn't want to compete with Meng Lan, because Luoyi School Palace was the private residence of the Song Kingdom, and it was naturally Zou Gu's bag if others didn't fight. Meng Lan had to fight, he wanted to fight for the Dali Guozuo, and he wanted to fight for the morality of the world.
"Meng Lan is still so competitive, so, how can he inherit Mr.'s morality?" Zou Gu suddenly became difficult, he frowned, Meng Lan had fought with him since he was a child, and now he still refuses to give in to the position of sacrificial wine.
Meng Lan replied with a smile: "Senior brother is talented, one hand is benevolent and righteous, and the other hand is powerful; Meng Lan is shallow, not as good as Mr. ”
Zou Gu frowned, he couldn't compete with Meng Lan, he thought that after learning more about the art of vertical and horizontal, he still couldn't compete with Meng Lan. Meng Lan spoke with a needle hidden in her mouth, Zou Gu pouted, Meng Lan was still Meng Lan. He suddenly asked himself whether Zou Gu or Zou Gu was?
Jueshan School, quiet in the dead of night.
The young Zou Gu was punished for copying the book, and the young Meng Lan came over and silently accompanied the young Zou Gu to copy all night.
As for how to be punished, it was the deviant words of the young Zou Gu during the day, so the gentleman was furious.
"Benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, loyalty, filial piety, to whom?" The young man Zou Gu was still indignant, and he asked the young Meng Lan.
After many years, Zou Gu asked Meng Lan again: "Benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, loyalty, filial piety, who are you loyal to?"
Zou Gu questioned loudly in front of He Tianzi and the princes of Kyushu.
"Loyal to the people of this land." Meng Lan's answer was the same as when she was a teenager.
Zou Gu shook his head, Meng Lan is still the same Meng Lan as before, Zou Gu is not the original Zou Gu, and he can't go back.
Meng Lan continued: "Mr. Min, then raise, and then educate. The greatest thing in the world is civil, and the Son of Heaven does the things of the Son of Heaven, and the princes do the things of the princes, all for the sake of civil. Li Min is water, and the princes of the Son of Heaven are boats. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat. The foundation of the country is the Son of Heaven? Definitely; Is it a prince? Definitely; The foundation of the country is the ...... of the people"
Zou Gu heard Meng Lan's last sentence "People-oriented, the country will last forever; If the people are not raised, the fortune of the country will be ruined. ”
Luoyi School Palace, the sage talked about the Tao, and in the end there was no result, Meng Lan returned to Lidu, and Zou Gu was still in Luoyi.
In the following months, Zou Gu discussed the Tao with the military sage Shi Hui, Zou Gu swore an oath with the Legalist sage, and Zou Gu discussed the Tao with the Zongheng sage Muer.
Three times on the Tao, three times to win, Zou Gu naturally sat on the seat of sacrificial wine.
Meng Lan came from afar, Zou Gu was a little panicked, and he was the only one in the world who was afraid of one Meng Lan. Zou Gu stood at the gate of the Luoyi School Palace, reluctant to let Meng Lan come in, he asked, "Why did Meng Lan come?"
"Hello senior brother," Meng Lan said respectfully, and said kindly, "Meng Lan is not here for the sacrificial wine of the Xue Palace, not for the first saint in the world, and not for the morality of the world. ”
Zou Gu doesn't believe it, Meng Lan likes to fight with him the most, how can Meng Lan let go of the position of sacrificial wine, the first saint in the world and the word morality?
"The only thing that can make Meng Lan unable to let go is Zhuzhu," Meng Lan guessed Zou Gu's intentions, and he said, "Meng Lan is here for my apprentice." ”
Zou Gu didn't believe it even more, Meng Lan was willing to come for an idiot? He felt that Meng Lan was not a gentleman, a gentleman was frank, and Meng Lan was not frank.
Meng Lan left, Zou Gu guessed that the identity of Idiot Jue was not ordinary, although he and Song Xiao had already been convinced that Idiot Jue was not a descendant of Zichou, but would it be an ordinary person who could be taken to heart by Meng Lan?
Meng Lan came to Luoyi School Palace for the second time, and still respectfully and respectfully, and said kindly: "Hello, senior brother."
This senior brother brought Zou Gu's mind to the Jueshan School many years ago.
"Hello senior brother," the young man Meng Lan said respectfully, and said kindly, "Senior brother, the book says, 'The peach is dying, and its leaves are dying.'" The peach is dying, and its scorching scorching. 'Senior brother, have you ever seen peach blossoms?' ”
There are no peach blossoms in Jueshan School, and Meng Lan has never seen them, so he can only reverie how beautiful the peach blossoms are from the book as much as possible.
Zou Gu has never seen a peach tree, let alone a peach blossom, but he is a senior brother, and he can't be looked down upon by Meng Lan, so he said: "Of course I have seen it, it is more beautiful than what is written in the book."
In February, the young Zou Gu quietly ran out of the Jueshan School with his husband on his back, and it was a few days later when he came back.
"Where?" The gentleman waited with a bamboo branch.
The young Zou Gu put his hands behind his back, and he still couldn't hide the flower branches in his hands.
"Hold your hand out." Mr. Zichou had a straight face, and the young Meng Lan knew that Mr. Zichou had searched all over Jueshan in the past few days and almost broke his hand.
The young Zou Gu stretched out one hand, and the other hand was still tightly grasping the flower branch behind his back.
The gentleman was ruthless, the bamboo branch was pumped on the back of the young man Zou Gu's hand, and the young man Meng Lan counted it, exactly nine.
"Don't take it as an example," Mr. Zichou dropped the bamboo branch, he glanced deeply at the young Zou Gu, and then said, "You learn from Meng Lan." ”
The gentleman is ugly, and the young Zou Gu is also gone, leaving a place of withered peach blossoms, and the young Meng Lan is always indifferent.
Zou Gu chuckled, brushed away the young man's thoughts, looked at Meng Lan, who was respectful and respectful, and called himself a senior brother in a friendly manner, and asked, "Why did Meng Lan come?"
"Meng Lan is here for the apprentice," Meng Lan knew that Zou Gu was suspicious, so he had to explain, "Senior brother, Jue is an idiot, he is innocent, and the dispute between you and me should not implicate him." ”
Meng Lan knew that Zou Gu was competing with himself for a disciple? It's a battle of wills.
Zou Gu still chuckled, this is the second time Meng Lan has come, and he still does not fight for the position of sacrificial wine, the first saint in the world, and the word morality.
Zou Gu didn't believe it, he was the one who understood Meng Lan best, and no one knew him better than Meng Lan.
Meng Lan knew that Zou Gu was suspicious, and Zou Gu also knew that Meng Lan was deeply thoughtful.
They are both peers and rivals.
Love and kill each other.
Zou Gu shook his head and said, "Meng Lan, tell me what is Jue's identity?"
Meng Lan smiled, how could Jue have any special identity, after he finished speaking, he was afraid that Zou Gu would not believe it, and added: "Senior brother, you and I both know Zixiu, can Zixiu have heirs?"
Zou Gu asked in a deep voice: "Meng Lan, Zikuang only said that Jue is the descendant of Zichou, but he didn't say that Zixiu is the son of Zichou."
Zixiu is a wide wrong child, Zichou is a hermit in the mountains, Zixiu also said that he doesn't recognize Zichou, just based on the words of Zikuang's family, Zou Gu doesn't believe that Zixiu is the son of Mr. Zichou.
Meng Lan continued: "Senior brother is suspicious, Mr. and Zixiu are separated from Liangzhou by thousands of mountains and rivers, how can they have anything to do with Jue?"
Zou Gu asked, "Then why did Meng Lan deliberately go to the western seclusion?" Meng Lan's vision is so high, how can he accept an idiot as a disciple? How can Mr.'s Yujue appear on Jue? ”
Zou Gu asked, Meng Lan really didn't know how to answer. It is Mr. to go to the Taoli School in Tangxi to take refuge, and Mr. expected that things would be arranged as soon as he was a god, but how could Meng Lan dare to admit it? As for accepting Jue as an apprentice, Meng Lan thought about it, but still didn't answer.
Meng Lan went to Liangzhou to study in the west of the country under the rule of Bayang, and by the way, he went to the child Mengxue age in the west of the country.
Whenever the people of the Central Plains talk about Liangzhou, they always have two kinds of rhetoric, one is that the poor mountains and bad waters produce the people, and the other is that the good mountains and good waters produce beautiful people.
Meng Lan likes Liangzhou, where the folk customs are more simple than the Central Plains, so he also encountered a piece of jade under the inspiration of Mr. Zichou.
This piece of jade is Shi Yanzhou, who is talented, humble, and has a solid family background.
It is not unreasonable to be poor and rich, so nine out of ten Luoyi scholars are rich families, and there are too few noble sons from poor families.
Meng Lan was also curious about why Mr. Zichou could devote himself to studying, and even pull himself and Zou Gu up. Later, I also figured it out, Mr. Zichou is the father of Zixiu, who is Zixiu? Jueshan is a well-off family, and he shoots first.
It's not that Meng Lan looks down on the children of the poor family, poor families such as the Liu family in the west of the fang, it is really difficult for Liu's mother to pull Liu Changan, who is the same age as the general, don't talk about the tuition fee and two orange knives, even if she doesn't need money, she can't afford it, and even Liu Changan can barely make a living by digging in the field with her.
Life is not equal, and people are divided into three classes and nine levels, which is the rule set by the first saint Boqi throughout the ages.
The rich have thousands of acres of fertile land, and the poor have no place to stand. The same is true for the small and the west, the three major families in the west of the country, the Zhao family, the Shi family and the Shao family, have taken up eight or nine tenths of the land, and the rest of the hundreds of people have to beg for a living under their hands.
This is still the case in the western seclusion, let alone Kyushu in the world?
It is difficult to produce a noble son from a poor family.
Meng Lan likes Shi Yanzhou the most, and Jiang Jue is the most distressed.
Meng Lan has only given a name to one person in her life, Jiang Jue is grateful to Meng Lan from the bottom of her heart, why doesn't Meng Lan love Jiang Jue?
It's a pity that Jiang Jue, neither his own conditions nor his family background allow him to learn the way of benevolence and righteousness.
As for Jiang Jue's ugly jade jue, this is even more ridiculous, that jade jue was obviously obtained by Qin Huai by chance, and it was the jade jue that He Tianzi left to his eldest son, Xian Gongzi.
He Tianzi's eldest son, Xian Gongzi, faked his death, and took refuge with his grandfather, Ri Qin Boxian, and lived in seclusion in Bashan under the pseudonym of Peach Blossom Farmer, as for how he got involved with Qin Huai, Meng Lan didn't know.
Meng Lan didn't answer, he knew the answers to these three questions, but he just couldn't answer them.
Zou Gu felt that Meng Lan was weak-hearted, and he once again rejected Meng Lan's request.
Song Xiao, the king of Song, also said that Nuoda, a Song country with a fertile land of thousands of miles, a hundred rich cities, is still afraid that he can't afford to raise a mouth?
Zou Gu and Song Xiao cherish each other, both of them are powerful magicians dressed in the fur of benevolence and righteousness.
When Meng Lan stepped out of the Luoyi School Palace for the third time, the snow was falling, Meng Lan stepped on the snow, he dusted off the snowflakes on his shoulders, respectfully and respectfully, and shouted in harmony: "Hello, senior brother."
Zou Gu remembered that the young Zou Gu and the young Meng Lan were also like this, and when the snow was flying, the gentleman liked to sleep with warm wine, so the young Zou Gu and the young Meng Lan had plenty of leisure time to play.
The teenager Zou Gu likes snow, and the teenager Meng Lan also likes snow. There was no one else at Jueshan School, so the two teenagers, who were one year apart, had a lot of fun in the snow.
Zou Gu was older and had more ideas, so he supported Meng Lan from a bamboo plaque, and then sprinkled a handful of buds and a short stick to tempt the poor partridge to throw himself into the net.
"Meng Lan, this is called 'people die for money, birds die for food.' Zou Gu pulled lightly, and a pair of partridges could not fly.
The young Meng Lan was a little unbearable, and the young Zou Gu sneered: "Meng Lan, senior brother will teach you another truth, the book says 'The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. ’”
The young Meng Lan had never heard these truths, and he suddenly felt that his senior brother was a little unfamiliar.
"There are all kinds of theories in the world, does Meng Lan only learn the words of one family?" The young man Zou Gu saw Meng Lan's thoughts, and he said mysteriously, "Senior brother still has a lot of truths, I don't know if Meng Lan listens to it or not. ”
The young man Meng Lan shook his head, he didn't want to hear it, he warned the young man Zou Gu: "Senior brother, it is enough for Meng Lan to learn benevolence and righteousness, and it is enough for Meng Lan to do one thing well." Don't let Mr. know these words, he will be angry. ”
The young Zou Gu was full of thoughts, Meng Lan didn't listen, and he didn't say it, after all, Mr. Ziug didn't like these miscellaneous families. The young Zou Gu was thinking, why are other families miscellaneous?
The pair of partridges died, for a handful of buds.
The young Meng Lan didn't dare to listen to the deviant knowledge of the young Zou Gu, but the more he escaped, the more he engraved "people are wealthy, dead birds are food and die" in his heart, and even "the world is bustling, all for profit; The world is bustling for profit" is also in mind.
Zou Gu attached too much importance to profit, so he felt that Meng Lan's three visits to the Luoyi Academy Palace were naturally motivated. He preemptively said, "Meng Lan, Jue is gone."
Idiot Jue is naturally gone, Zou Gu is not angry, let him learn the art of vertical and horizontal, he doesn't know a single big word, and he doesn't understand the reason, and even secretly learns the way of benevolence and righteousness with Song Gongzi Qianxiu.
Zou Gu opened one eye and closed another eye, Idiot Jue was just a pawn in the battle between him and Meng Lan, as for Qian Xiu, although he was in the name of his disciple, although he was Song Xiao's favorite descendant, Qian Xiu was not destined to be a good king.
Song Xiao and Zou Gu are both careerists, Song Xiao can support Zou Gu's ambitions, but humility can't. The careerist is the most cold-blooded, not to mention a disciple, even his wife and children can also be used as chess pieces.
The biggest careerist in the world is naturally Qin Huai, who later wore the seal of the Five Kingdoms; The Five Kingdoms Seal couldn't satisfy him, so he hung the Seven Kingdoms or even the Eight Kingdoms Seal; Xiangyin could not satisfy him, so he became king; The throne could not satisfy him, so he was called emperor again.
Cold-blooded but careerist, Qin Huai's ambition was too great, and he was willing to treat his wife Hu Di'er as a pawn, so the Qin Dynasty, which could compete with Chu Wangcheng, fell apart in a few years.
At this time, Idiot Jue had already been banished by Zou Gu to Saishang Mangyuan to shepherd sheep, and he did it easily, after all, Song Xiao had just summoned the old Qiao Guo Sikong Ouyao from Saishang Mangyuan.
Meng Lansan's entry into the Luoyi School Palace was not for the position of sacrificing wine, not for the first saint in the world, or for the word morality, but he came just for an idiot, Zou Gu really couldn't understand it.
Zou Gu was also tired of the battle with Meng Lan, and he was even more disgusted with Idiot Jue, out of sight, out of mind, so he simply banished to Saishang Mangyuan.
I have to mention that the pair of monarchs and ministers of Song Xiao, the king of Song, and the sage Zou Gu, are simply the biggest careerists in the world. Complement each other, complement each other, a hill of raccoon dogs, and no matter how appropriate the words are to describe it, it is not too much.
Song Xiao, the king of Song, finally became the emperor under the mediation of Emperor Xiong Ran, but unfortunately Song Xiao was already a hero at this time.
Song Xiao has changed, he suddenly wants to be a good courtier, but unfortunately he can't go back.
Zou Gu can't go back, Song Xiao is dying of old age, and it is impossible for Qianxiu to be a good king. So he stood behind Song Gongzi Jialiu without hesitation.
Song Gongzi Jialiu is too similar to the young Song Xiao, just as unscrupulous and calculating, but unfortunately Song Xiao's old eyes are dizzy, and he only has Gongzi Qianxiu in his eyes, not Jialiu.
The medical saint, or the quack doctor Pu Miao, set foot in the Song Kingdom for the third time, and this time he finally met Song Xiao.
Pu Miao is like an old crow, he will always appear in front of the dying in time, no one can escape the doom, and Song Xiao is no exception.
Song Xiao's life was very hard, and Pu Miao begged to see him three times before he killed Song Xiao. Song Xiao is dead, and Song Guo's chariot should be controlled by Gongzi Qianxiu, after all, Qianxiu is the eldest son, but it's a pity.
Whether it was the temple nobles or the Luoyi guards, they all stood behind Gongzi Jialiu, and a bloody Luoyi was happening under their eyes.
Only Song Xiao's eighth son Jiaxi, Song Xiao's tenth son Jialiu and Song Xiao's eldest grandson Sun Qianxiu survived.
Everything is under control, and even the appearance of Long Li is in Zou Gu's control.
How could Song Xiao have no backhand? One dragon is not enough, what about adding another Menglan?
Meng Lan's appearance was also in Zou Gu's hands, and even Zou Gu felt that this would kill two birds with one stone.
Zou Gu doesn't like Meng Lan, Meng Lan always likes to compete with him, for poetry, for talent, for women, for disciples, and now even the position of sacrificial wine has been scrambled.
The sacrificial wine seat was given to Meng Lan by Zou Gu, and the dying person could still eat a gluttonous feast, so it didn't hurt to let Meng Lan sit on the sacrificial wine seat.
Besides, morality needs strength support, Meng Lan doesn't have it, he is inherent.
Zou Gu was disappointed, and Fu Bai came. Fu Bai's appearance disrupted Zou Gu's plan, and he could only watch Fu Bai save Gongzi Qianxiu, and then put Gongzi Qianxiu on the throne in a grand manner.
There are bones buried under the prosperous surface of Luoyi, and there are ambitions, everything must be done properly on the surface, and in broad daylight, some things are still inappropriate.
So Zou Gu arranged to burn the Luoyi School Palace again, anyway, it has been burned once, what if it is burned again? Luoyi Xuegong is buried under the righteousness of the saint Zichou and the Qiao royal family, and it doesn't hurt to have one more saint and a noble son.
The muse came, Zou Gu sighed, if it weren't for Fu Bai's delay, everything would have been a foregone conclusion. Zou Gu knew the muse's nature, as long as everything fell before him, he would complain at most, but it was a pity that Jialiu was too indecisive.
Later, before the battle between Muse and Fu Bai in Jianling Pass, he earnestly asked Zou Gu to take care of the Song King I Qianxiu, and Zou Gu sighed again and nodded.
He suddenly understood Song Xiao.
It's a pity that Southern Chu and Northern Qin were aggressive, and after Song Xiao's death, no one could control the Song Kingdom, internal and external troubles, and Zou Gu felt powerless for the first time.
The Song Kingdom died, it was the incompetence of Qianxiu and the incompetence of Zou Gu. Without Song Xiao, the Song State did not need to be suppressed by outsiders, even internal rebellion was enough to overthrow the Song State.
The Song Kingdom is fertile for thousands of miles, hundreds of rich cities, and tens of millions of people, but nine out of ten are obtained by attacking, and the people do not return.
Even Shi Hui, the sage of the military family, sought a position for Sima under Qin Huai early, and no one knew Zou Gu's whereabouts after Luoyi was destroyed, maybe he died, maybe he escaped.
Zou Gu went to Lidu.
Before the collapse of the Li capital, Zou Gu rushed to the Li capital, and he discussed with Meng Lan for three days.
On the first day, Zou Gu asked Meng Lan to teach on his behalf, and his biggest regret was that he couldn't learn all the knowledge of Mr. Zichou.
Zou Gu bowed respectfully to Meng Lan, and shouted amicably, "Hello, sir."
In the past, Meng Lan was respectful and respectful, and shouted kindly: "Hello, senior brother."
Jueshan School.
In addition to poetry and literature, Zichou has only two hobbies, one is drinking and the other is drinking tea.
Mr. prefers to drink tea, which Zou Gu knows; Mr. still loves wine, which is known to Meng Lan, who has always followed Zichou.
"Tea is bitter, and Li Min is also bitter." Zichou taught.
Mr. Zichou occasionally had spare money, so he asked Zou Gu and Meng Lan to go down the mountain to sell wine, and only sold two corners each time, and if they had more, they would get drunk.
Zou Gu was one year older than Meng Lan, and Meng Lan was only sixteen when he reached the crown, and that year Zichou took out double the wine money and let Zou Gu and Meng Lan sell two more corners.
The extra two corners were for Zou Gu, and Meng Lan still drank tea.
Life is still tight, Zichou has little spare money, so he sells wine or two corners, both corners are given to Zou Gu, and he and Meng Lan drink tea.
On the first day of the lecture, Meng Lan talked about the dispute between tea and wine.
"Wine is eaten by rich and noble families, and tea is eaten by poor families." Meng Lan tried her best to imitate the tone of the gentleman's ugly teachings.
"Wine is fragrant, and so is noble; Tea is bitter, and Li Min is also bitter. "What Meng Lan said, Zou Gu has never heard.
Meng Lan continued: "Senior brother, after you left, Mr. rarely drank alcohol, and Mr. said that what he regretted the most was to let you get contaminated with alcohol."
"Does Meng Lan eat wine?" Zou Gu asked.
Meng Lan nodded and said, "Occasionally, there is spare money, and if you drink two corners, you will get drunk."
Zou Gu respectfully bowed and said kindly: "Sir, I have been taught."
On the second day, Zou Gu asked Meng Lan to teach on behalf of the teacher.
Zou Gu respectfully bowed and said kindly: "Sir, please advise."
Meng Lan nodded and said, "Mr. said, 'If a gentleman does something, a gentleman must also do something.'" ”
Zou Gu nodded, he remembered these clearly.
"Sir also said, 'If a gentleman does not do something, he should not take risks; A gentleman must also do something, and he must do it when he is involved in danger. Meng Lan continued.
Zou Gu said dumbly, he only knew that Mr. had said, "A gentleman should not be involved in danger, and he should not be involved in danger." ”
"A gentleman should not be involved in danger, and he should not do it, unless he has to." Meng Lan took a small sip of wine, full of wine.
Meng Lan drank a small amount of alcohol, and a small drink was drunk. The wine was bought by Jiang Jue, and he was sitting and making tea.
Jiang Jue brought a bowl full of tea, put it in front of Zou Gu, respectfully bowed it, and shouted kindly: "Sir, drink tea."
Mr. Zou, the difference between Mr. and Mr. is a world of difference. Just like Mr. and Mr. Meng, the difference between one word is a world of difference.
Zou Gu took a sip of tea and it was very bitter. Meng Lan nodded at Jiang Jue, obviously this was Jiang Jue who he instructed Jiang Jue to put more tea.
The tea was very bitter, and Zou Gu's face was even more bitter, and he said with a bitter face: "Meng Lan, don't be so bitter."
Meng Lan is full of righteousness, exactly the same as when Mr. Zizi was ugly. He glared at Zou Gu, who hurriedly bowed respectfully, and shouted in a friendly manner: "Sir."
On the third day, Zou Gu still asked Meng Lan to teach on his behalf.
Jiang Jue was not there this time, and only Zou Gu and Meng Lan knew the content of the lecture.
Zou Gu respectfully bowed, and shouted amicably: "Sir, please advise."
Meng Lan said: "Senior brother, if you don't teach today, would it be good for you and my senior brother to relive the old things of the past?"
Zou Gu nodded.
Jueshan School.
When Meng Lan was a child, she and Zou Gu bought wine to buy salt when she was a child, and Meng Lan was still thinking about paper kites when she was a child. He pestered Zou Gu when he was a child, and begged: "Senior brother, you promised me a paper kite."
When he was young, Zou Gu bought the smallest candy man for Meng Lan when he was a child, and he was reprimanded by Mr. because he only sold a dime of wine, and he was unhappy, and he wanted to push Meng Lan away, but Meng Lan still relented when he took a sip of a senior brother.
Where did Zou Gu make paper kites when he was young? If you buy a paper kite, I'm afraid that the husband won't be able to drink a dime of wine, and the master and apprentice won't even be able to eat salt.
When he was young, Zou Gu couldn't resist Meng Lan when he was a child, but he still tried his best to spend three days making a paper kite. The skeleton is bamboo, when he was young, Zou Gu cut bamboo according to the appearance of Mr., and happened to be seen by Mr. Zichou, so he has been contracted to cut bamboo.
When she was a child, Meng Lan was overjoyed to get the paper kite, and although it was very rough, Meng Lan regarded it as a treasure when she was a child, and played with it until the paper kite fell apart.
Zou Gu's eyes narrowed into a line when he talked about this old incident, Meng Lan liked it, and he was also happy.
Zou Gumo rubbed his palms, obviously he was still worried about the bamboo cutting. Cutting bamboo is hard work, Zou Gu has been undertaking the hard work of cutting bamboo before the study tour, in the words of Mr. Zichou, it is to make the best use of things, make the best use of people.
Meng Lan was boiling tea, Zou Gu pushed open the small stove and said, "Meng Lan, you and my senior brother have released their previous suspicions, why don't you boil wine and sing?"
Meng Lan hesitated, Zou Gu high-fived, Jiang Jue came in with a wine jar, he put down the wine jar and went out again.
"This is Shenlong wine, I heard Jiang Jue say that it was sent by his godmother," Zou Gu had already opened the seal, he said, "This wine is not only a good wine in the world, even immortals can't make it." ”
Zou Gu began to cook wine, and the wine was fragrant.
Meng Lan was very modest, he said that he only had two jiao, but he drank three bowls that day.
For the first time, Meng Lan knew that Zou Gu's alcohol consumption was so good.
"Wan'er isn't dead, senior brother." Meng Lan was overwhelmed by the strength of wine and spat out the truth.
Zou Gu's hand holding the wine bowl trembled, and the wine spilled some, Zou Gu shook his head and sighed, it's a pity.
"Senior brother, I didn't expect it, Wan'er met Fu Bai," Meng Lan laughed and cried, his eyes were slightly red, and continued, "Yuchan is Wan'er's child. ”
Zou Gu was stunned again, Yuchan was Jiang Jue's wife, and this was something he only knew after he came to Lidu.
"Meng Lan, Senior Brother can lose to you, how can he lose to others," Zou Gu said indignantly, "What about Fu Bai?" I asked Jue to beat him. ”
Meng Lan smiled secretly: "Senior brother, Meng Lan has already beaten Fu Bai once in the Luoyi School Palace."
Zou Gu took a sip of the wine bowl and said, "Meng Lan, I respect you." My junior brother has won the first place in the world, and my senior brother is happy. ”
Meng Lan had already drunk three bowls in a row, and Meng Lan was drunk.
Meng Lan didn't know what happened after that, Meng Lan was a little bumpy when she opened her eyes, Meng Lan saw Yuchan, saw Fu Bai, and also saw Xiao Jingshu, and no matter how many people there were, there would be no more.
Meng Lan guessed that it was wrong, and Fu Bai said, "Meng Lan, the Li Dynasty is dead."
Meng Lan sat in the carriage and cried, he could guess that Jiang Jue and Zou Gu must have colluded to get him drunk.
Meng Lan guessed correctly, after he was drunk, Zou Gu opened the door drunkenly and shouted, "Jue, send Meng Lan away."
Fu Bai took Yuchan, Yuchan and Jingshu were already waiting at the door, Jiang Jue picked up Meng Lan and put him in the carriage, and left without saying a word.
"Sir, you should go too." Jiang Jue bowed respectfully and said kindly.
Zou Gu shook his head and said, "Jue, it's time for you to defend the city."
Jiang Jue held a moon-stepping dagger in his left hand, and the moon-stepping dagger was hidden in his sleeve; Holding the star-chasing sword in his right hand, the star-chasing sword mops the floor.
Zou Gu respectfully bowed and shouted amicably, "Sir."
Mr. Zou Gu is Xuanlang, or Lang Xuan. He has studied the art of vertical and horizontal under Lang Xuan for ten years, so he should call Mr.
"Zou Gu, as a teacher, I underestimated you." Genro laughed.
"The students are ashamed." Zou Gu lowered his head guiltily, Li Chao is in such a situation today, there is more or less his handwriting.
"This is fate," Xuan Lang said, shaking his head, "five hundred and eight years." ”
"How much knowledge does the gentleman have?" Zou Gu asked sincerely.
Xuan Lang smiled incomprehensibly and said, "Zou Gu, how many Heavenly Dao Saints do you think?"
Zou Gu asked tentatively: "The first saint Boqi throughout the ages, the ancestor of Taoism, Lao Tzu, Mr. is, and Mr. Zichou is too."
Xuan Lang waved his hand and said, "After Boqi, there are only three Heavenly Dao Saints in the world."
After Boqi, there are only three Heavenly Dao saints in the world, one is Lao Tzu, the ancestor of Taoism, and the other two are Meng Lan and Zou Gu.
Zou Gu said with a bitter face: "The student is guilty, the student is not a heavenly saint, the bell and drum are manpower, and the saint's lecture is a rumor."
Xuan Lang chuckled: "I didn't say that you were, sir, I am the reincarnation of Boqi, and I have a learned gentleman who is a scholar of Confucianism, Taoism, Famo, and Nongbing."
