Volume 1 The Rise of the Wind Chapter 14 The Battle of the Tongue and the Confucianism I
In the small warm pavilion next to the Mingde Palace, the little eunuch left a pot of tea and left in a hurry, Wang Xi knelt at the table seriously, and after a while, the corners of his eyes swept down the four nobody, and hurriedly pulled out his legs and kept pinching, Tang Chu's kneeling was simply a kind of ordeal for Wang Xi, even if he sat on the ground when he was in Zhangjiazhuang, he didn't have to kneel on his calves like thatβ’β’β’β’β’β’
Wang Xi looked at the surrounding furnishings and imagined what Jun Qianqian would say to him for a while. I have lived in the Guogong Mansion for more than two months, although the people in the Guogong Mansion are casual and kind, but it is not a way to always send people under the fence. The first time he saw Li Er, asking for a place to live was a small goal that Wang Xi set for himself.
The architecture of the early Tang Dynasty did not have the oppression and solemnity of the Qin and Han dynasties, nor the magnificence of the Song Dynasty, but it was more noble and open-minded.
It's November now, the calendar of the Tang Dynasty is the middle of winter, and it's not warm in the warm pavilion, Wang Xi wore this body to show a hermit demeanor, but at the moment he was a little trembling, but fortunately, the tea soup left by the little eunuch was like a fake, and he took a sip in his hand, green onions, ginger, peppercorns seem to have mutton fat, have you ever drunk mutton soup? Eun β’ a little lighter than thatβ’β’β’β’β’
Today is the fifth day of the first month, probably the day of the court, the officials above the ninth grade of Chang'an will participate, the tea cup in his hand has been completely cold, Wang Xi has begun to study what the table in front of him is made of, and his majesty summoned him but there is still no news, Wang Xi was impatient and was just about to walk out of the warm pavilion when he was stopped back by the little eunuch: "The court has not ended yet, the rules in the palace are complicated, and Xiao Langjun should not move around at will." β
Finally, when Wang Xi felt that the tea soup in the tea cup was about to freeze, a fat man with a fat head and big ears and a eunuch uniform walked in, and as soon as he entered the door, he said with a smile: "Xiao Langjun, wait a minute, the court is over, come with me, don't let Your Majesty wait for a long time." β
Wang Xi arched his hand and followed, this eunuch is not simple, he is also a eunuch, the little eunuch who picked him up in the carriage before is a green robe, this eunuch is actually a purple robe, Wang Xi remembers that this is a dress color that represents more than three grades.
Mingde Hall side hall
Wang Xi followed the purple-robed eunuch in, which was far from the imaginary scene of Liu Beizhi being alone in Zhuge Lianglong, and there were quite a few people in the hall.
Although it is a side hall, it is extremely spacious, I don't know where to heat, the hall is also very warm, on the nine steps in front, Li Eryi is wearing a bright yellow rolling dragon robe, but there is no small bead curtain crown in Wang Xi's impression on his head, only a golden crown is tied, and the dragon golden screen is carved behind him, and two glamorous palace maids hold palace fans on both sides, and Li Er's arm pestle is tilted on the table and looks at Wang Xi with interest, which is too different from the appearance of Qin Huang Hanwu kneeling in front of the dragon case in a serious way on TV!
Li Er bowed his head, except for the first one on the left, who was an old man in a Confucian shirt, the rest were also old men, but they were wearing court clothes, all of them were vermilion, purple colors, and the hall was full of vermilion, probably like that.
Wang Xi couldn't stop looking around, and everyone in the hall also looked at Wang Xi, and the scene was extremely embarrassing for a while, until the fat eunuch who had just led Wang Xi in coughed lightly.
"Wang Xi, the subordinate of the Ghost Valley, greets Your Majesty, may Your Majesty be blessed!" Say sorry to bow down and bow down.
The Duchess of Suguo had popularized with Wang Xi last night that the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty do not need to kneel and bow, but they can do the salute of the chief, but this by no means includes Wang Xi, who is a grass citizen.
Sure enough, Li Er sneered: "Why didn't I know that my Tang Dynasty had a young minister?" β
If it was an ordinary person, he should change his mouth and kowtow at this time, but Wang Xi pretended not to know, and bowed again in a serious manner: "The people of the mountains and wilderness do not give a big salute, please atone for your sins." β
Before Li Er could speak, an old man in a purple robe on the right said with a smile: "Wang Xi, but the second and third sons are having fun?" β
Wang Xi was about to speak, but Li Er waved his hand: "Gao Fucheng, first introduce me to the famous scholars of the Tang Dynasty for this Guigu master." β
The purple-robed fat eunuch who had brought Wang Xi in before responded to the promise, and led Wang Xi to the old man in the Confucian shirt at the top first: "This is my Tang Hongru, Mr. Li Gang, who has lived in three dynasties, is highly respected and pedantic. β
Li Gang! taught three princes of two dynasties, but two of the three princes were deposed and one was killed, a veritable prince killer, Wang Xi hurriedly worshipped.
Gao Fucheng said in turn: "This is the court's servant, the prince of Yixing County, and Gao Shilian!" β
"This is Lord Shangshu of the Military Department of the Dynasty, Cai Guogong, and Du Ruhui Du!"
"This is Lord Dangzhong's Shuling, Xing Guogong, and Fang Xuanling!"
"This is Doctor Guanglu, Song Guogong, Xiao Yu Xiao!"
"This is the current court's counselor, the prince's right concubine, and the male king of Yongning County, Lord Guiwang!"
"This is Dr. Wen Yan Bowen, the servant of the court's ministry."
"This is the thirty-first grandson of the Confucian saint, the man of Qufu County, Kong Yingda, the son of Confucius."
Okay! Fang Mou Du Duan, the eighteen bachelors of Qin Wangfu came, and even the eighty-year-old Li Gang came, the meaning of the school examination could not be more obvious, Wang Xi understood that if this level could not be passed, the name of the ghost valley would be a joke!
At that moment, Wang Xi walked in front of Gao Shilian, who was laughing before, and said: "Wang Xi, Xi Zhi, the dawn breaks, and the darkness is broken with immeasurable light. β
"It turns out that we are all fools!" Lao Li Gang stroked his beard with a smile on his face: "Dawn breaks, and then it will be dusk, and the darkness will return, what can I do?" β
Wang Xi saluted Li Gang and said: "The darkness returns, and then the next day, the dawn also comes, and the cycle repeats, my Chinese heritage has been unfading for thousands of years, since Pangu opened the sky, the three emperors ruled the world, the five emperors Dinglun, the ancestors Ru Mao drank blood, slash and burn, and then God is fortunate that I am Huaxia, Suiren takes fire, Cangjie makes words, Xuanyuan builds houses, the ancestors teach silkworms, and even the hundred schools of pre-Qin Zhuzi, Jinglun contends, there is the beauty of the uniform, and the summer of etiquette!" My Huaxia came from this, and I first asked the world to save the world's ignorance, and that's it. β
Li Gang stroked his palms and laughed: "Impassioned, youthful spirit, under the Guigu Sect, the name is well deserved!" β
Xiao Yu at the bottom said: "The Guigu Gate is famous for Su Qin and Zhang Yi of the pre-Qin Dynasty, is it necessary to come out in a vertical and horizontal way?" How much can Pang Juan and Sun Bin learn the supreme art of war under the Ghost Valley? What kind of astonishing knowledge is there under the Guigu Sect, might as well give us an opinion or two for ignorant people like us?"
Wang Xi saluted again, paced slowly, and then said leisurely: "The five elements of yin and yang open the world, and the vertical and horizontal staggers are stable!" The grand plan shows the storm, and the hegemony is shocking! The hundreds of schools of thought are called the century, and the Qimen Ghost Valley is true. My ghost valley is a door, since the pre-Qin to vertical and horizontal, the art of war came out, but in order to seek the end of the troubled world, but then all kinds of search but cannot, so the ghost valley master and learn Confucianism, ink, law, Taoism, natural geography, heaven and earth mysterious, its talent is all-encompassing, all doors are everywhere! β
When you board, the house is silent! What a big breath!
"Since there is such an amazing knowledge, why is there no trace after the first Qin?" Du Ruhui asked.
Wang Xi seemed to enter his own emotions: "My Guigu Sect tried everything to end the troubled times of the pre-Qin Dynasty, but what did I get in the end? Or for the glory and wealth, corrupt and mutilate the same family, or because the king is suspicious and have to retreat, or for the murderer and the vicious people to be stabbed in the market, or the high merit covers the lord and cooks the rabbit to death! The ancestor felt the flashy temptation of the world, which was not conducive to the study of deep knowledge, so he closed the mountain gate, retreated to the land of Yunmeng Mountain and Qingxi, and devoted himself to learning, so as to be useful in the world! β
"Hehe" Wang Gui smiled: "Er's words are passionate, but the Guigu Gate has disappeared from the world for nearly a thousand years, and if you don't hear the world, how can you talk about saving the world?" β
"Otherwise," Wang Xi said: "Although the Guigu Gate has returned to seclusion, it has always paid attention to the world, and led the world's good talents into my door. β
"Huh!" Wang Gui said sarcastically: "The kid is blowing nonsense, and I don't know who the history books of Wei Yizi came out, but the matter of waiting for the Huangshi Gong to be passed on to the world is well known, how dare you invite your name to be under the Guigu Sect!" β
Wang Xi smiled: "Then dare to ask Doctor Wang, who is the Huangshi Master?" In addition, where are the other deeds of Huangshi Gong? "Seeing that Wang Gui was speechless, Wang Xi said again: 'Huangshi Gongshi is really a soldier of my Guigu Sect in the late Qin and early Han dynasties. And it's not just a book, Zhang Liang implicitly passed on his art under a pseudonym when he was young, otherwise with only a military book, how could he become a strategist and win a thousand miles? β
Li Er's eyes when he looked at Wang Xi were already a little unconcealed with joy, and he had picked up the treasure! Cheng Biting Jin is really my lucky general! Before the battle, he returned to Tang to help defeat Wang Shichong, and now he has sent a great talent through the ages!
"What is the ambition of the Ghost Valley Gate?" Li Er asked again.
Wang Xi walked in a tiger step, stepped forward and said loudly: "My ghost valley has a view of the world for a long time will be divided, divided for a long time, the people of Li suffer, the living souls are sad, so in the Yunmeng Mountain gate chiseled stone carving, for the ambition of my people, said: for the heaven and earth, for the people of the people, for the life of the people, for the saints to continue to learn, for the eternal peace!" β
