Chapter 95: Living Up to the Mission
"What do you think of the sacrificial wine, how is Chang'anjun?"
After Chang'an Jun left in a hurry with Hou Sheng, Zou Zheng turned his head and asked Xunzi such a sentence. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xunzi was silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "Extremely smart, with it, like a spring breeze, like a rainbow cloud, pitching is happy, but I don't know its will." ”
"Didn't Chang Anjun say that he was interested in learning? Sacrificial wine is also said in "Persuasion", reverence for good teachers is the most convenient way to learn, and it is not the most appropriate to use sacrificial wine as a teacher? “
"Is it that simple?" Xunzi didn't believe it, and asked his disciple Li Si next to him: "Si, why do you ask to learn ......?"
Li Si originally looked at Chang Anjun's back and was envious, but at this moment, the master suddenly asked himself, he couldn't help but be stunned, and many thoughts flashed in his heart, but thinking that the master likes to tell the truth, he finally replied sneeringly: "Learning and excellence are good, naturally in order to learn and become an official!" “
This is Li Si's true words, he was only weak and weak, he inherited his father's position, worked as a small warehouse official in Shangcai County, Chu State, and lived a life of inaction, one day when he went to the toilet, he saw that the rats in the toilet were black and thin, they could only eat filth, and they were chased by yellow dogs all day long, while the rats in the granary were full of food and slept well, and leisurely frolicked and mated in the rice piles, and no one or dog brought threats and horrors.
As a result, the talented and intelligent Li Si sighed: "The sage of people is like a mouse, and it is in their own ears!" He believes that people's wealth and poverty all depend on whether they can seize the opportunity and choose the environment, in Xia Cai Xiaoxian, looking at the colleagues around the corpse vegetarian meal, the meager dou rice and Lu, he feels that compared to the vast world outside, this is a small toilet, he is like a mouse in the toilet.
"If I don't want to die here for the rest of my life, I have to leave!"
So when Xunzi went to Xia Cai to mourn for his friends, Li Si seized the opportunity to rely on the poems and books he read weekdays, won Xunzi's favor, and agreed to accept him as an apprentice.
He told the truth directly, but Xunzi was not angry, but just smiled: "Confucius also said to his disciples back then, the purpose of those who follow him to study is to get a grain for officials in the future, if you study for three years and the purpose is not here, it is really too rare." ”
"Learning and excellence is the master", originally a concept put forward by Confucianism, Confucius's students, except for a few people such as Yan Hui, the rest of the people are for "seeking dry luck" to learn, in the Warring States period everyone is vying for fame and fortune, Li Si's idea Xunzi can understand very well, in addition to the Taoist Zhuangzi faction, the hundred schools of thought are actively entering the WTO.
"Li Si's background is not high, and he studied in order to enter the office, but Chang'an Jun is the prince of Fengjun, the darling of the Queen Mother of Zhao State, and there is no shortage of brocade clothes and jade food, and you want to worship me as a teacher, for the name?"
Xunzi said in one word, Chang'an Jun's trip to Jixia was obviously prepared, and he was to give gifts to make friends with the nine streams and ten families, and he asked to be honored for himself, and he wanted to be famous.
"King Yan Zhao worships my uncle as a teacher, and it is also for the sake of fame." Zou Zheng didn't think it was strange, in his opinion, it was really normal for the princes and princes to blow each other's business.
"If the sacrificial wine can get a famous feudal monarch from Handan and Linzi as a disciple, it will also be of great benefit to the sacrificial wine."
Xun didn't seem to care too much, and said lightly: "If you want to cultivate, you will be arrogant and rich, if morality is important, you will ignore the prince, and if you are introspective, you will be light on external things." ”
"Sacrificial wine, sacrificial wine, you are not a Taoist, light princes and light foreign things, needless to say." Zou Zheng smiled dumbly and asked him a sharp question: "Could it be that the sacrificial wine is not optimistic about Zhao Guo?" ”
Xunzi laughed: "Zhao is the country of the four wars, and the country seems to be calm, but there is a faint chaos, which is indeed not optimistic." ”
"Which country is favored by the sacrificial wine?"
"What if I say I'm optimistic about Qin?" Xun Zheng glanced at Zou Zheng again.
The conversation between the two came to an abrupt end, falling into silence for a while, and after a while, Zou Zheng laughed as if nothing had happened: "Chang'an Jun sent it to the door, if the sacrificial wine is not accepted, there are many people who want to marry him as a master and apprentice!" ”
Zou Zheng's words were more than just words, after separating from Xunzi, he went to his study as soon as possible, asked his disciples to polish the ink, and hurriedly wrote a letter and sent it to his hometown under the Qi Kingdom.
"Boy, goodbye, ask uncle how he is doing......"
"Chang'an Jun is a person, Zhao Zhijun is also a son, and he is righteous in Handan Feiren and goes to trouble for the country. To Linzi, wise and respectful of the virtuous and important people, Gongsun Long talked with him, shocked the school palace with "Set Theory", and his nephew talked about the Great Kyushu, and he also had an understanding. This son is not good, the nephew once listened to Zhao Renyan, Lin Xiangru said that he is not inferior to the king of Ling, he will be the crown prince in the future, not vain. Uncle will go to Linzi next month, maybe we can meet him and have a deep talk......"
At the same time, in the Linzi Proton Mansion, because Chang'an Jun was summoned by King Qi to enter the palace for a long time and did not return, he almost exploded......
……
"Childe has been in the palace since noon, and now it's almost night, why hasn't he come back!"
Since winning Kuang Liang in that wine fight in Yingqiu Mountain, Zhao Kuo and the hundred Zhao pawns have also successfully moved into the Proton Mansion, which has greatly strengthened the precautions here, and Chang'an Jun can also rest assured that he can let the magicians and craftsmen do experiments in the spacious territory of the mansion without fear of outsiders sneaking in and snooping.
But what followed was Zhao Kuo's impatience.
Today, Chang'anjun entered the Ji, Shu Qi, Lu Jujian and others did not follow in, but went to the racecourse with Tian Hu to compete, after learning about this, Zhao Kuo, who was responsible for protecting Chang'anjun, almost blew up.
This Ma Fuzi, who already had a faint demeanor of a young general, reprimanded everyone fiercely, and said cruelly that if they were soldiers under their command, they would have been beaten with dozens of sticks in accordance with military law!
What's even more worrying is that Chang'an Jun was summoned into the palace by King Qi, and there were only the imperial Li Tan and two rangers around him, who were stopped outside the palace of King Qi and not allowed to enter. Originally, everyone was not very worried, but as the sun gradually set, Chang'anjun was still nowhere to be seen, and the two rangers were suddenly anxious.
The guards of the Qi Palace were very cold to them, they ignored them, and they couldn't ask why, or Li Tan was clever, and he continued to wait outside the palace, and sent the two of them back to report the news and discuss countermeasures.
The backbone of this small group is Chang'anjun, without him, the rest of the people are martial artists, and they have all become ants on the hot pot, or Shu Qi is more stable, and he ran to Jixia again, invited Gongsun Long, and asked him to help with ideas.
Looking at a group of reckless people who were about to raise their swords to break into the palace savior without saying a word, Gongsun Long had no choice but to appease them and said: "Chang'an Jun will be fine, maybe the king of Qi left him for a banquet, the second and third sons must not mess with themselves......"
In fact, he is also a little bottomless in his heart, it is the norm for the princes of the world to go to Qin and Chu, and now Qin is strong and Zhao is weak, although Chang'anjun's words made Qi reluctantly accept them, but from the initial attitude of the Qi people when he first entered Qi, the possibility that the King of Qi suddenly gave up Zhao and fell to Qin is not impossible.
Chang'anjun also tried his best to have a good relationship with the princes and ministers of Qi for the rest of the month, especially focusing on bribing the queen's younger brother Hou Sheng, which dealt a blow to the arrogance of the prince, Teng Geng, Kuang Liang and other haters of the Zhao faction. In recent days, he has entered the Jixia School Palace, presented gifts to the nine streams and ten families, and traveled with Xunzi and Zou Zheng, wanting to gain fame in the academic world, which can be said to be hard-working.
"Even if Zhao's diplomacy fails, as long as Chang'anjun has enough fame, the king of Qi will not dare to embarrass him, but will continue to be courteous and send Chang'anjun back to China......"
Just when everyone was nervous, the people guarding the door outside came to spread the word, saying that Chang Anjun was back!
Everyone was overjoyed, and hurriedly went to the gate, divided into two rows and stood in the side door, welcoming Chang'anjun's return.
In just a few hours, everyone realized that Chang'anjun was so important, and without Chang'anjun, their small group would be nothing!
"What are you doing standing inside the door?"
Mingyue's face was as usual, just a little drunk, and after crossing the threshold, she saw a large group of people lined up on both sides, looking at herself eagerly, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then understood, and said with a smile: "I'm fine, today the King of Qi summoned him, but it was for a good thing." “
He announced: "After learning the news of the attack on Tao by the commander of Anping Jun, the Qin State has withdrawn its troops and withdrawn from the border of the Zhao State. “
"The Qin army has withdrawn!"
Gongsun Long said with a smile: "Chang'anjun lives up to his mission." ”
Everyone was immediately overjoyed, and they congratulated: "This is the blessing of Zhao Guo, and the merit of Gongzi!" “
Indeed, if it weren't for Chang'anjun's resolute entry into Qi as a hostage this time, and persuaded the king of Qi not to hesitate to watch, the Qin army was afraid that it would not easily give up attacking the city and pulling out the ground, which was all the credit of Chang'anjun.
Mingyue was not too happy, this is a reasonable thing, and the intrigue of the Three Kingdoms here is more complicated than it seems on the surface.
Thinking of the temptation of the King of Qi at the banquet in the palace, he said solemnly: "We can't be careless, although the Qi State helped Zhao to force the Qin State to withdraw its troops, the Qin people will never give up, Xianyang's side will definitely react quickly, our real battle has just begun!" “
