What does it mean if a world-famous Confucian suddenly tells a child that he wants to take him back to his hometown?

As Kong Wen, in front of the public, there is only one possibility to say this in front of the governors. That's me, Kong Wen, and I want to accept you King Luo Bin as a disciple.

How can this situation not be shocking?

The onlookers present all knew that Luo Bingwang was from a humble background and couldn't even afford a decent dress. Even, almost everyone laughed at his origin and downfall in their hearts. But now, the descendants of Confucius, a generation of great Confucians, want to accept him as a disciple. This is the change of Heaven and Hell, Yunlongjing Frog. As soon as you enter the Confucius Gate, whether it is your identity or your future achievements, it will be like a carp jumping over the dragon gate, which is completely different.

It seems that this Kong Wen saw some kind of talent in King Luo Bin, and he was going to accept apprentices as soon as they met. is worthy of a generation of Confucianism, with excellent eyesight. But there should be no record of this person in history, but King Luo Bin is the fourth master of the early Tang Dynasty in the future, and he can be compared with Wang Bo. What kind of story will happen in this? ”

Lu Xin looked at the middle-aged man dressed in white in front of him, and couldn't help but think of what he saw last night. The reason why Shangguan Yunyi entered Chang'an was precisely because Kong Wen entered Beijing to take the exam, violating the agreement between the two. At that time, Shangguan Yunyi held the two powerful magic weapons of the Red Dust Sword and the Phoenix Seal. If it weren't for Li Chunfeng's action, the imperial court might not be able to divide enough strength to deal with her. Later, Shangguan Yunyi was defeated and fell into a coma, and it was Kong Wen who took her away.

But here, there is a doubt. Judging from the content of the conversation between Kong Wen and Shangguan Yunyi, the two have not seen each other for at least ten years. One lives in Qufu, Yanzhou, and the other is far away in Sanqing Mountain, Xinzhou, so it can be said that they don't get along with each other. Kong Wen went to Beijing to take the exam, and even the well-informed major counties and families didn't know, how did a Taoist aunt know?

Lu Xin expected that there must be a conspiracy of a certain force in this, and Shangguan Yunyi was obviously being used. And Kong Wen changed his mind overnight and gave up the scientific expedition, which is likely to be related to this matter.

"It's strange that the king of Hejian County stays in the mansion all day long, drinking and having fun, and doesn't ask about the world. How did he know that Kong Wen had come to Chang'an to participate in the imperial examination? The eldest grandson Wuji and Kong Wen are old acquaintances, and they don't know about it. ”

Looking at the two middle-aged men in front of him, Lu Xin only felt that there were too many mysteries in his mind. From the time I entered Chang'an to the present, everyone I met was not simple, and there were all kinds of secrets hidden in my heart. Just in response to Li Chunfeng's words, as soon as the situation in Chang'an changed, there was no peaceful day again.

"Alas, the things of the world are really strange. I'm afraid this Datang is far more complicated than my time. Perhaps, this is what troubled times should look like. However, if King Luo Bin can really worship under Kong Wen's door, it will be his luck. ”

"Hahaha, I am indeed a descendant of Confucius. Why, if I am not a saint, will you not be able to look at it? ”

Facing Luo Bingwang's question, Kong Wen stood up straight with a light smile. When the child heard this, he quickly lowered his head and said three "no" words in a row, and his face turned red. Kong Wen naturally understood the child's thoughts, didn't say anything more, and grabbed Luo Binwang's hand with a smile. Then, he looked at Lu Xin.

I saw that Kong Wen's eyes were like torches, and his pupils were shrunk, extremely deep. After Lu Xin was targeted, his hair suddenly stood on end, and his whole body tensed up involuntarily.

This gaze ...... It's like the monk's. ”

was shocked in his heart, but Lu Xin didn't show it. Kong Wen quickly withdrew his gaze, still with a warm smile on his face, which made people feel like a spring breeze.

"Everyone in the world is drunk, and only one is awake. It is not easy to have such a heart at such a young age. Lord Jun, the person you are protecting may be able to protect the entire Tang Dynasty in the future. ”

Kong Wen finished speaking meaningfully, and laughed again, looking very painful. Immediately, he dragged Luo Bing Dynasty out of the crowd. Wherever they passed, no one dared to stop them. Lu Xin knew that Kong Wen would never be able to do anything. But that body of Confucianism is heroic and upright, it is really terrifying. It's so terrifying that no one will be against it. It's like no one is the enemy of heaven and earth.

"Brother Lu, thank you for meeting in Pingshui."

When Luo Bingwang was about to reach the end of the crowd, he suddenly stopped and stared back at Lu Xin. This stubborn, strong child, after gritting his teeth and being silent for a long time, finally said thank you. Seeing this, Lu Xin smiled and waved his hand, but did not reply. After meeting twice, he still knew Luo Bingwang's character. There are some words that you can just keep in your heart. And he did all this just to follow his heart's thoughts, not to give favors and be a savior.

"Lu Shaoxia, this king has a banquet in the mansion, can you enjoy the light?"

"How dare you disobey the invitation of the county king. It's just that the grass people still have important things to do, so I'm afraid that they can only go to the county king's mansion later to ask for guilt. Brother Wei, this matter is urgent, and I need your help. ”

"Hahaha, it's okay, it's all my own people. That king will take the first step, Wei Qing, when the matter is done, then take Lu Shaoxia back to the house. If there is anything missing, you are the only one who asks. ”

"Don't worry, the prince will protect Brother Lu."

Li Xiaogong saw that Lu Xin refused to go to the palace for the banquet, but instead of blaming him, he laughed and asked Wei Qing to protect him. These words are naturally for the eldest grandson Wuji and the children of the major families. It is enough to see from this that this seemingly lazy king of Hejian who ignores the government and does not care about the government is such a careful person.

Bell, bell, bell......

At this moment, a bell rang in the Hongwen Pavilion, which was vast and majestic, echoing between heaven and earth. When the crowd heard this, they immediately began to tidy up their clothes and became nervous. Then, I saw a large number of officials walking out of the gate of the Hongwen Pavilion. The two people at the head, one in his eighties, his face was wrinkled, and he was being supported. The other is the prime minister of the dynasty, the left servant of Shangshu Province shot Fang Xuanling. After the two came out, there were no extra words, shouting that the imperial examination was about to begin, and ordered the people to line up to enter. And the eldest grandson Wuji and Sun Dianyu also began to prepare for various matters of the scientific expedition. For a while, the Hongwen Pavilion, which was in a uproar between King Luo Bin and Lu Xin, became peaceful again. It seems that everyone has forgotten what just happened.

"Brother Xin, the scientific examination has begun, and this champion is about to go in, don't make trouble for me anymore."

The scholar didn't know where it suddenly came from, and gave Lu Xin a bear hug as soon as he came up. After speaking, he didn't look at Lu Xin's expression, and rushed directly into the crowd to line up. When the moon was not dark, he immediately scolded on the side, and his face was happy. Even Yang Qin, who has always been fierce to scholars, laughed.

The imperial examination was the most important event in life for scholars in ancient times. The so-called "everything is inferior, only reading is high". The imperial examination is the only way ordinary people can change their fate. The scholar rushed to Chang'an with great difficulty, just for this moment. Now that the exam is about to start, seeing the scholar's confident appearance, Yue Buhei and others are naturally happy for him. Lu Xin, too.

Several people are friends of life and death, usually laughing and playing, and there is a lot of nonsense. But when there is really something serious, I bury all my emotions in my heart, and there are no superfluous words. Watching the scholar disappear into the gate of the Hongwen Pavilion little by little, Lu Xin slowly exhaled, and then turned around and walked outside the Qunxian Square with Wei Qing. Yue Buhei originally wanted to follow, but Lu Xin asked the Yang sisters to forcibly pull him back to the Qian Mansion on the grounds that he was injured.

"Brother Lu, looking at your appearance, why does it matter so much?"

"Brother Wei, don't ask this first, but how did you and the prince know that I was outside the Hongwen Pavilion?"

"This ...... To tell the truth, it was the prince of the county who suddenly sent someone to Dali Temple to call me. As for how the prince found out, I don't know. ”

On the way to the Wei Mansion, the two young men chatted while walking fast. Lu Xin wanted to know why Li Xiaogong suddenly appeared at a critical moment. He originally thought that it was the instruction of his master Li Chunfeng, but judging from Wei Qing's performance, it may not be the case. But if it weren't for Li Chunfeng coming forward to ask Li Xiaogong for help, then who would have such a big face?

"The master hasn't been there since last night. Don't...... What's really going on? ”

Looking up at the sky, Lu Xin's expression was a little anxious. What happened in the past two days was far beyond his comprehension. There are too many mysteries that he alone cannot solve.

"Brother Wei, at this hour, the early dynasty should have ended."

"Well, it's over on weekdays. But early this morning, His Majesty issued an edict to cancel the court. Shangshu Province has already sent people to the ministers' mansions to deliver the decree, and his uncle should still be in the mansion. ”

"That's good, Brother Wei, I want to see the secretary and supervisor!"

From Qunxianfang to Wei Zheng's mansion in Dongcheng, Lu Xin and the others only took a quarter of an hour. Perhaps because of the opening of the imperial examination, after leaving the West Market, there were not many pedestrians on the streets and alleys. Under the leadership of Wei Qing, Lu Xin soon entered the depths of the Wei Mansion and saw Wei Zheng sitting in the garden drinking tea.

Last night, the legendary Taiyin Youying came to the world, and Wei Zheng obviously made a move. But at this time, from Wei Zheng's body, there was no clue at all. Seeing that it was Lu Xin coming, Wei Zheng was a little surprised, but he didn't show it on his face.

"Lord Wei, Lu Xin came to see you because he had something important to tell the court. But whether to tell the emperor about this matter or not, it is up to Lord Wei to decide first. ”

Lu Xin said this, and took out a Buddhist scripture from his arms. After Wei Zheng took it, he only turned the first page, and his face became solemn.

"How can this book be on you?"

"Don't worry, my lord, I will tell you everything you have done. As for the rest of the matter, it has nothing to do with me. ”

……

When I came out of the Wei Mansion, it was already noon. Lu Xin did not stay in the Wei Mansion to eat, nor did he go to Li Xiaogong's mansion. Instead, he went out of Chang'an from Kaiyuan.
