In the twenty-third year of King Lihe, the winter solstice, Luoyi School Palace.

Since the Luoyi Alliance, Jue has been promoted to the position of sacrificing wine in the upper palace.

For the first time in the world, a child served as a sacrificial wine, which naturally attracted endless rumors and rumors.

Winter solstice, the school palace ceremony, the new sacrificial wine took office.

On this day, the Son of Heaven arrived, the princes gathered, and the saints came.

Luoyi School Palace has never been owned by a country, but the place where the world's saints lecture on Taoism, and in the School Palace, the sacrificial wine is the largest, even if you see the Son of Heaven, you don't have to salute.

The princes have naturally seen Jue, and even his position of sacrificial wine is still recommended by the princes. The saints of the world do not know Jue, but only know that they are the descendants of Zichou.

The Son of Heaven sat down, the princes entered, and the saints entered the palace, but they did not see Jue, which attracted everyone's sideways looks.

On the winter solstice last year, he still had no name, no surname, no name, Meng Lan was named, and Zongjiang was his name.

Exactly one year, the children in the remote wilderness of the west have been worshiped as sacrificial wine, and they are committed to the morality of the world.

How heavy is the morality in the world? The last sacrificial wine is Wen Shengzi Chou, Zichou was asked about the mountain Yin Yin before, and Yin Yin was his teacher Lao Tzu before.

The three sacrificial wines, Lao Tzu went into hiding, Yin Yin abdicated, and Zi Chou died.

Morality, just two words, only a dozen strokes, the three saints can't afford it. The morality of the world, how can a mere childish child bear it?

Zou Gu led Jue into the Luoyi School Palace, and in front of everyone's eyes, Jue shrank behind Zou Gu, not daring to see anyone.

"Mr. Meng." When Jue saw Meng Lan, she was overjoyed and behaved decently.

Song Xiao breathed a long sigh of relief, at first he believed in nine points at most, but now he believes it all.

Meng Lan also saluted Jue, not because he was a child, but because he was a child, the princes looked at it and remained silent.

Jue, one year older and one year old, forget one day old, forget one day at a time, is an idiot.

There are very few people he remembers, except for his mother, who takes Meng Lan as his teacher, Yanzhou as his friend, and Chang'an as his neighbor.

Mr. Meng taught only one article of "Jiahe", and he couldn't remember half of it.

Qiaoyu asked Jue what was written on the book, and Jue didn't recognize a word, but it was just good-looking.

The muse who had previously smashed the peach and plum stone with a sword, and after many tests, he finally believed that Jue was an idiot, and Song Xiao was not annoyed but happy.

No one could guess that the childish man in front of him, who was standing opposite Meng Lan, was an idiot.

"Meng Lan, I haven't seen you for a year, and now you are the Taishi of Da Li." Zou Gu said.

"I haven't seen you for a year, and you haven't been a sacrificial wine?" Meng Lan replied with a smile.

Zichou only accepts two apprentices in his life, and he is a year apart, and there is no time to meet with the same door, only-for-tat.

He Tianzi and the princes were silent, and the moral chess game was played against the saints of the world, and they were willing to watch the guests, but they just made their own bets.

Not long ago, Taibao Zi Kuang passed away, and Zi Kuang's eldest son Zi Tang succeeded to the throne of Zhongshan King, and was worshiped as Taibao by He Tianzi. As far as the Li room is concerned, Zhongshan is amiable; As far as He Tianzi is concerned, Zitang is amiable.

The old third prince Taifu Langxuan, Taibao Zikuang, and Taishi Zichou passed away one after another, the new third prince Taifu Song Xiao, Taibao Zitang, and Taishi Menglan gathered together, the three pillars of the country, Song Xiao had already had a different heart, Zitang's foundation was still shallow, and Meng Lan was born not long ago.

So He Tianzi acquiesced to Meng Lan and Zou Gu playing against each other in the Xue Palace, Meng Lan is a Heavenly Dao saint, and Meng Lan's talent will definitely be better than Zou Gu.

Song Xiao has always regarded Confucianism as an official science, and he has great respect for the two sages, Zichou and Zou Gu. Confucianism advocates benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, and faith, filial piety and loyalty, and Song Xiao regards it as the guide.

The big joke of the world, asking about Li affairs, three generations of a family have 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.

He Tianzi didn't dare to speak, if he wanted to govern the country and level the world, he must first cultivate himself and his family; The princes did not dare to speak, and Qiao, who had denounced the Song State in the last time, had perished; The people of Song did not dare to speak, the people were like mustard, Yao He was the sky, and the king of Song was the earth, and now the clouds covered the sky.

Zou Gu and Meng Lan's verbal confrontation is a game between He Tianzi and King Song. Meng Lan and Zou Gu are both ugly disciples and play against each other. He Tianzi and Song Xiao are also descendants of King Wen and play in the same room.

"Mr. has taught," Meng Lan took the lead in making a difficulty, "a gentleman must do something, and he will not do something." ”

Zou Gu beckoned Jue over, but Jue hid under Mr. Meng's shirt and ignored him. Zou Gu had no choice but to give up and asked Meng Lan rhetorically: "Doing or not doing is what Huang Lao learned." Meng Lan still let go of benevolence and righteousness, do you want to do it? ”

"Mr. once asked Yin Zi, how can Huang Lao's learning be more than doing nothing?" Meng Lan replied with a smile, "I am Li Chen, I have to do it; You are Li Min, you can't do nothing. ”

"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?"

"Governing the country? What country is it? Meng Lan asked.

"Naturally, it's Da Li." Zou Gu made a gesture towards He Tianzi.

"Mr. taught, a gentleman first cultivates himself and his family, and then governs the country and levels the world," Meng Lan said.

"Father, father and son, I heard that there is a barbarian country in the southwest, and there is Taifu Ri Qin Boxian, and Ri Qin Boxian has a son, 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, and he didn't seem to know the fact that He Tianzi was the son-in-law of Ri Tan Boxian.

"Self-cultivation Qi family, father and son; Governing the country and leveling the world, monarchs and ministers. I heard that Ri Qin Sang died in the Battle of Citrus Shu, and it is a fact that he was a son of man without filial piety, and a father without pity for his son; As a minister, he does ministers, although he has not achieved self-cultivation and family, but he governs the country and the world. 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 pick the city, but they don't do the affairs of the ministers, the king is not the king, the minister is not the minister, is it not even as good as the barbarians who have not yet been educated? ”

"What Meng Lan said is extremely true," Zou Gu nodded, and continued, "Governing the country on paper may not be without the suspicion of talking on paper. ”

On paper, Zhao Kuo, the son of Sima of Cai Guo, was familiar with the art of war, and King Cai was named a soldier saint. In the first battle, Zhao Kuo led 300,000 troops to the border of the Song Kingdom. 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.

Miao Ku became famous in a battle and was crowned a martial saint; Zhao Kuo talked about the soldiers on paper, died in the first battle, and the saint of the soldier family was in vain.

"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 to go out of the mountain to rule the world, and talked all night, Boqi went out of the mountain to calm the world; Yin Zi and Mr. Xuegong discussed the Tao for three days and three nights, and the way of benevolence and righteousness became the official school of Dali. 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 He Tianzi, the Son of Heaven is a tea drinker, he is a tea maker. Inherit a promise and keep it for a lifetime, this is the way of a gentleman.

A gentleman has something to fight, something is not to fight, this is also the way of a gentleman. Meng Lan's trip is to fight, to fight for the Dali Guozuo, and to fight for the morality of the world.

A gentleman does something, and he must do something, this is still the way of a gentleman. Meng Lan can not do it, but there are some things that must be stood up. Someone always wants to stand up, and it's up to me Meng Lan.

"Meng Lan is still so competitive, so, how can he inherit Mr.'s morality?" Zou Gu suddenly asked.

Meng Lan replied with a smile: "Meng Lan is only shallow in learning, and she doesn't dare to talk about the morality of the world. The senior brother is highly talented, the left hand is Confucian morality, and the right hand is vertical and horizontal doctrine. ”

The world said that Meng Zou and the two saints were ugly and talented, Meng Lan was recognized by the way of heaven, twenty miles of ice and snow melted, Zou Gu is a senior brother, how can he be inferior?

Zou Gu studied benevolence and righteousness under Zichou, and after ten years of study, he went out of the mountain, and the king of Song worshiped as Situ. In addition to the identity of a Confucian sage, Zou Gu is still in charge of everyone. There are saints in the world, how many people have two identities?

Meng Lan said that there were needles hidden in the cotton, obviously touting Zou Gu's internal and external cultivation, but in fact he was contemptuous. Outsiders only know that Zichou and the two disciples are Meng Zou Ersheng, but few people delve into why Meng Lan is in front and Zou Gu is behind.

Jue likes to listen to Mr. Meng's reasoning, and Mr. Meng's words are all great truths. The palace is either the prince of heaven or a saint, at first he was shy, but after seeing Mr. Meng, he felt much more at ease.

Who knows Zijue in the world? Who in the world doesn't know Meng Zou? Everyone only glanced at Jue, and then they no longer paid attention to this childish sacrificial wine, and only listened to the arguments of Meng Zou Ersheng.

Meng Zou and the two sages talked about Taoism, which is not only Confucianism, but also the morality of the world, and it is also the governance of the country and the world.

For three whole hours, Meng Lan and Zou Gu used Luoyi Xuegong as a chess piece and the world's morality as a chess piece, facing each other.

Meng Zou played against each other, the princes were all spectators, and He Tianzi and King Song were on the outside, and they were deeply trapped in the game.

"Swords can determine the country, but they cannot govern the country; Poetry and books can govern the country, but they cannot protect the country. Only swords and poems can be held together, and the world can be guaranteed and determined. Zou Gu said.

The sword and the poem are held at the same time, which is Zou Gu's policy to strengthen the country, and the king of Song is regarded as the guide. In the Song Dynasty, Situ Zou Gu ruled the country for poetry and books, and there were soldiers and saints Shi Hui and Jianling Miao Ku for the sword to determine the country. Swords and poems are held at the same time, and the national strength of the Song State is one of the best.

Zou Gu wanted to see how Meng Lan argued, the Li family declined to the extreme, the Great Li Dynasty was in Kyushu, and the princes divided and ruled on behalf of the Son of Heaven; Eight wilderness and four directions, the Song Dynasty went north to conquer, and the land where the grass and trees grew was incorporated into the Li soil inch by inch; The Houthi cavalry of 200,000 troops leveled the western border; The state of Chu conquered hundreds of Yue in the south and expanded the land for thousands of miles; The East China Sea is vast, how far the ship goes, how big the world is.

Not only the country, the Li dynasty declined, but the vast territory of the Great Li Dynasty was unprecedented. Is it the work of He Tianzi? It's the work of the princes!

He Tianzi was almost suffocated, Zou Gu and Meng Lan played against each other, this is the battle of the first saint in the world. Zou Gu prides himself on being a gentleman, and a gentleman does not fight, but he is so aggressive that he is so red in the face that he is red-faced. Zou Gu is fighting for the name of the world's first saint, and he is the world's moral obsessor. The wine of the school palace should be served by a person of great virtue and power, and the idiot is just an expedient measure, and the princes tacitly understand it. The world is virtuous and powerful, except for the two saints of Confucianism and Zongheng, who else can there be?

One person, two saints, rare in the world, not nothing.

A gentleman has something to fight, and a gentleman has something to fight. Meng Lan had to fight, which was not only the morality of the world, but also the country of the Li family. Xuegong sacrificial wine, he had to fight.

Meng Lan didn't answer, but just asked Jue: "Jue, you are now a sacrificial wine in the Xue Palace, and what you say is morality." What about swords and poetry books? ”

Jue Xiao's face was flushed, he didn't understand what the sacrificial wine was, and thought that Mr. Meng was testing him.

"Only millet and poetry can raise people." Jue only remembered this sentence, which his mother wanted him to remember.

Meng Lan high-fived, laughed, and followed Jue's words: "Son of Heaven Li Min, Mr. will raise him, then educate him, and finally set the world." The people take food as the sky, and the people of Li rest and recuperate, first of all, it is not against the agricultural time. During the three southwestern expeditions against each other, they made a gentleman's covenant, and there was a truce in the autumn harvest and no war. Barbarians are still like this, let alone Da Li? The Son of Heaven does the things of the Son of Heaven, the princes do the things of the princes, the people of Li are not hungry, and the clothes are not covered, what is the Son of Heaven? What are the princes? 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? No, it's Li Min. People-oriented, national glory forever; If the people are not raised, the fortune of the country will be ruined. ”

After saying that, Meng Lan was thirsty, and Jue invited Meng Lan to drink tea with a cup of tea. Meng Lan drank three cups in a row and continued: "Don't disobey the agricultural season, the five grains will be abundant, and the people of Li will be able to give birth and raise, and then talk about education." Senior Brother mentioned that the Mandarin Country was a barbarian land, but what Meng Lan saw and heard in the Mandarin Country was not the case. Ri Qin Boxian has a female name Du Ruo, and a son-in-law Jiang Wangshu, who is the Marquis of Tongjiang. Jiang Hou started from the grass, wrote over Meng Lan, and Wu was more bitter than Miao. The war between the two countries continued, and Jiang Hou admonished "Raising the People and Shu", which was not only to support the people, but also to educate. Mr. Min was raised, and then edified, benevolent, righteous, courteous, faithful, loyal and filial. Man is the spirit of all things, because of edification. If you don't know benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and faith, and don't know loyalty and filial piety, what is the difference between you and a wild beast? Poetry and classics are the basis for education, all generations of saints, words and deeds, for future generations to set up classics, senior brother is a master of poetry and books, Meng Lan understands the truth, senior brother should understand better. ”

Jue poured tea again, and Meng Lan drank three more cups of tea. Meng Lan doesn't like wine, but likes tea, because tea is bitter, and the people are also bitter.

Zou Gu was very patient, waiting for Meng Lan to continue, as soon as the sword soldier said it, how much did he know?

Meng Lan didn't know how to use swords.

"Mr. Min is raised, and then educated, and it is enough to govern the country and level the world," Meng Lan changed his words and continued, "The Son of Heaven divides the princes and collects the provinces, which is the business of the Son of Heaven." The princes should also do the things of the princes, and give birth to the people, support the people, and educate them. And then, for example, if the princes have been conquering for two hundred years, this is the advantage of the sword soldiers. The princes refused to do the things of the princes, and the Son of Heaven did not have to do the things of the Son of Heaven, so he needed to block the sword soldiers with his sword. Meng Lan heard that in the past, when Xiao Guo attacked Zhongshan and Zhongshan was in danger, the hidden dragon Fubai was born and destroyed Xiao in one year. Zhongshan has Fubai, the world's sharp weapons, but it is hidden and not used, why? Zi Kuang is benevolent and righteous, and he doesn't want to be ruined. The Son of Heaven has great virtue and divides the land. The princes should be grateful to Dade for eating the emperor and protecting the people from the king, rather than conquering the world with the power of swords and soldiers. The country benefited by the sword soldiers, the people were poor and the country was lacking, and the national fortune was not long. The dead are in front, the lessons of the previous car, and the division of the rear car. Brass and iron should not be forged with swords, but with axes and sickles, to feed the people. ”

Meng Lan doesn't learn swords, so naturally he doesn't know swords. There should be no sword soldiers in the world, so naturally there is no need to learn sword soldiers.

On the winter solstice, Jue became a school palace sacrificial wine, and the princes didn't care, what they cared about was Meng Lan, and they were more jealous than admiring.

The state has three dukes, and the three dukes are all pillar ministers. The old three princes are all dead, the new three kilometers away, the foundation of Zitang is still shallow, Song Xiao has the heart of disobedience, Meng Lan returned to Li from afar, the vision of heaven is born, the saint is born, and the virtue is high.

"Taishi, there is a lonely Taishi, and the world is lucky." He Tianzi was convinced, especially when he looked at Song Xiao, the king of Song, who was no longer arrogant. It's been a long time since it's been this smooth.

"The Son of Heaven does the things of the Son of Heaven, and the courtiers do the things of the courtiers." Meng Lan replied.

"It's just that Taishi's words are too aggressive." He Tianzi said that he was worried. Lang Xuan's death is doubtful everywhere, Lang Xuan is a saint. Lessons from the past, He Tianzi did not dare not be afraid.

"No matter how fierce the minister's words are, they are not as good as the swords of the princes." Meng Lan didn't care.

"A gentleman has something to do, and he doesn't do something." Zichou taught, and the only students were Meng Zou. At this time, Meng Lan and Zou Gu were still young people.

"Sir, when should you do something and when should you do nothing?" Zou Gu asked.

"A gentleman should help the world with his body, and he should help the world; A gentleman should not be involved in danger, and he should not be involved in danger. ”

Zou Gu was successful in learning and art, and he was worshiped by the King of Song as a commonplace when he went out of the mountain.

Zou Gu didn't know, Zichou's teachings still have the next sentence.

A gentleman should help the world with his body, and he should do it until he dies; A gentleman should not be involved in danger, and he should not do it, unless he must do it.

Meng Lan is a gentleman, and a gentleman should help the world with his body, and he should help the world. Therefore, Mr. Zichou died, and Meng Lan entered Li from afar as a master to help the world. A gentleman should not be involved in danger, and he should not do it, unless he must do it. Therefore, Meng Lan Xuegong and Zou Gu were aggressive.

A gentleman should help the world with his body, the Li room is in decline, and Huang Lao's learning and inaction cannot prolong the national ancestry, so Meng Lan and Yin Yin asked, they are not only the great Li Taishi, but also the palace sacrificial wine, making tea for the Son of Heaven, and ruling the morality of the world.

So Zichou chose to go to the Luoyi School Palace and sit in the town. The sage sat in the town, Song Xiao visited every day, and even did not return for months, and finally he was convinced, taking Confucianism as the official school, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, and loyalty and filial piety as the national gift.

If it weren't for this, how could the Song Dynasty be peaceful in the land of a hundred cities and the small countries around it?

It's just that He Tianzi didn't know, and he thought that Zi was ugly and disheartened. When He Tianzi knew, Zichou had already died.

The gentleman does not risk his body, but Mr. Zichou still risks his life, because he must do it.

In the twenty-second year of King Lihe, in winter, Song and Lu Vaqiao came to Luoyi.

The royal families of Qiao, from King Qiao to swaddling babies, were besieged in the Luoyi School Palace.

There are half of the saints in the world in the school palace, but no one protects King Qiao, because the gentleman does not risk his life.

Mr. Zichou refused to leave, failed to persuade him, and was martyred and died in the chaos of arrows.

The world was shocked, and Kyushu was miserable.

Zichou is the first saint in the world, the world's moral bull's ear, and the first gentleman. A gentleman should not risk his life, and he should not be martyred.

Unless it must be, Mr. Zichou is the first saint in the world.

A gentleman should not be involved in danger, and he should not do it, unless he must do it.

Zou Gu is the first disciple of Zichou, Zichou's morality, he learned ninety percent of nine, Meng Lan learned ten percent, only more than half of the sentence "A gentleman should not be involved in danger, and he should not be involved in danger, unless he must do it." ”

Therefore, the two disciples of Zichou are known as Meng Zou and the two saints in the world. Meng Zou and the two saints each have half of the ugliness, this is a rumor.

Meng Zou and the two saints have the talent of Zi Chou, Zou Gu is ninety percent nine, and Meng Lan is ten percent.

It is difficult to distinguish between the superior and the inferior, Zou Gu also has multiple vertical and horizontal titles, and the two saints are added in one.
