Sure enough, after Zhou Mi saluted, he lowered his body to Zhou Bian's ear and whispered, "King, there has been chaos outside, and our people have reported that there are royal soldiers running around on the street, shouting everywhere to find someone, but they are claiming to be looking for the son of Dr. Bai's family. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" said Zhou Mi and glanced at Bai Wuxi, then lowered his head and continued, "The king should go back early, the Taishi and they won't be able to hide it for long, and the nobles in the city will know about it, but I'm afraid that it will be unfavorable to my royal family." ”

When I heard Zhou Bian, I couldn't help but be nervous, if the royal family lost because of his disappearance, it would not be good, it would be okay for Weifu to have a private visit, but if it was over, it would be a bad thing, especially now that the situation is unstable. Zhou Bian asked in a low voice, "How long has it been since there were royal soldiers on the streets?" ”

"Counting the time for Li Yuan's subordinates to report the news, it will take about three quarters of an hour."

"That's not too long, it is expected that the Taishi will have no problem holding out for two hours, so let's do it, you tell the brothers to hide, and we will leave in a quarter of an hour." Zhou Bian didn't think that his short-term disappearance would cause drastic changes, at least those who had ill intentions still needed to inquire about the news and discuss it properly before they would dispatch troops, and it would take a long time, just to take this opportunity to see the reaction of those nobles, if there was really a small wave of nobles making trouble, it just gave the royal family an excuse to fight. Luoyang is so big, if there is one less nobleman, then it will take away a share of the royal family's profits, why not, as long as you don't play big.

Zhou Mi is the descendant of Zhou Bian's lineage, so he obeyed the king's words, nodded and complained to the master's family, and then withdrew.

Seeing Zhou Mi retreat, Yan Gao, who had been smiling, turned his head, only to hear Zhou Bian arch his hand and say, "Yan Gongzi smiled, my family doesn't know how to be polite, and I'm offended!" ”

"The son is humble, the family of a certain son is quite educated, polite in words and deeds, when he comes in, he first salutes the master's house, and then he salutes the master's house when he says goodbye, and then retreats and exits the door, and he talks about the rules very much. There is a family like this, presumably the son's family must be a large aristocratic family that has been passed down for several generations, and there are not many people in my Luoyang city whose surname Bai can have such a family business, but I don't know if the son and the white doctor are family? ”

"Just know." Zhou Bian stretched out his hand and pressed the little white fat man who was looking up to speak on the side, and said with a smile.

"That's abrupt." Yan Gongzi bowed his hand, thinking that he had guessed very accurately, but he didn't want to be wrong, so Yan Gao hurriedly apologized.

Zhou Bian naturally didn't care, but he didn't want to continue on this topic, so he changed the topic and asked, "I just said that I have been a master for a long time, but I don't know Yan Gongzi Gao Zhi?" ”

"I don't dare to say anything about Gao Zhi, just teach here and spread the Master's teachings. If the two sons are also interested, they will come to listen to the study, and Yan is very welcome. Yan Gao waved his hand.

"Doesn't the son want to go into politics because he is talented and learned?"

"The Master said that if you learn, you will be excellent. So Yan naturally has this idea, but with Yan's temperament, he is not the lord of benevolence and righteousness, looking at today, Sanjin and Qi Qin are both male masters, but they can't talk about benevolence and righteousness. You must know that in the world of great contention, the master can choose the minister, and the courtier can also choose the master. If you don't have a righteous Lord, you will teach the Master's teachings here, and perhaps your students will meet the Lord of Righteousness and spread the Master's teachings, so that there will be peace for all eternity. ”

It is true that Confucius's doctrine has influenced later generations for more than 2,000 years, but in the history that Zhou Bian knows, it was not until Dong Zhongshu "deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone" that it gradually became the orthodoxy of Chinese culture. However, Zhou Bian will not say such a frustration, and no one will believe it, but no matter what, Confucianism has real talent after all, otherwise how could it be chosen by the Chinese nation for thousands of years, so Zhou Bian still hopes that there can be Confucian talents under his command.

So Zhou Bian thought about it and said bluntly, "Since the prince is in Luoyang, why not serve the king of the Zhou family?" It is necessary to know that the royal family has returned to Luoyang, and revival is in sight, which is the time to employ people. And when the son is still young today, it is the age of sensitivity and studiousness, and if it is not affected by the master's learning, when will it be? ”

As soon as he said that, Zhou Bian looked at the other party nervously. Maybe it's really influenced by later generations, and subconsciously will respect Confucianism, that's why it's so eager. Confucius said benevolence, Mencius said love, I don't know if Mencius was born at this time, or whether Mengzi's mother began to move three times.

I only heard Yan Gao reply, "Don't hide it from the son, a certain person came to Luoyang to defect to Zhou Gong, but Zhou Weigong didn't want to see him first, so he lived here, spread scriptures, and made a living." Unexpectedly, this year, the royal family has sprung up, impressive, a few days ago I heard that the king entered the city, I wanted to ask someone to introduce, but failed to do so. If you can serve the royal family and spread benevolence and righteousness in the world, it is far more than joining the princes. ”

In this world, it is really rare to meet someone who attaches so much importance to orthodoxy, Zhou Bian was so excited that he almost stood up, but fortunately he quickly stabilized his heart and said in a deep voice, "I know Doctor Bai, if you don't like it, how about going back and talking to Doctor Bai?" Doctor Bai is now being favored, and he will make his son get his wish. ”

Unexpectedly, Yan Gao shook his head and said, "Childe is righteous!" It's just that I don't know why Childe wants to help me when you and I meet for the first time? ”

"Yes, the first time you and I met, Childe gave each other a book, and so-and-so reciprocated." Zhou Bian said with a smile.

"The son is bad, spreading the master's learning is Yan's wish, and the master's learning is also Yan's ambition, not for the sake of return." Yan Gao is colorful.

"Then I am a virtuous person for the country, and I don't avoid distant relatives, so don't push the son."

"Hehe, Xian Gongzi can really speak. It's just that if you don't lift it to Gongzi, Yan didn't stop it. Of course, it would be nice if the king could be as smart and virtuous as the prince. ”

Zhou Bian smiled lightly, but did not say anything.

After a few more casual chats, a quarter of an hour will pass, and Zhou Bian got up to say goodbye on the grounds that there was something at home, but Yan Gao didn't dare to keep it and sent him out of the door.

Fortunately, after going out, they didn't see the royal soldiers running all over the street as Zhou Mi said, and Zhou Bian and the others said goodbye before leaving. After walking away, Bai Wuxian looked back and saw that Yan Gao had returned to the courtyard, so he threw the bamboo slip in his hand into Fan Yu's arms behind him, and exclaimed, "I want to read again, but a certain family is annoyed when he sees this thing!" ”

Fan Yu was walking just right, but suddenly saw something flying towards him, but fortunately, thanks to his dexterity, he just caught it. In fact, this Fan Yu is the son of the young master, and his status is much higher than Bai Wuxi, but Fan Yu has always regarded himself as a guard, and his temperament is easy-going, so he was not unhappy by Bai Wuxi's actions, but handed the book back with a smile. However, Bai Wuxian finally threw the book away, where would he take it.

Zhou Bian smiled, "Fan Yu, since this book is disease-free, you can accept it, Master's doctrine is actually good, you can take a good look at it, and when you have a chance in the future, this king will test you and disease-free." ”

Fan Yu nodded and accepted the book. But the little white fat man pouted.

Zhou Bian didn't see it, turned his head and asked, "What do you think of this Yan Gao, is it the same as Doctor Bai at the beginning?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Bai Wuxian began to vent his unhappiness in his heart, "This Yan Gao is sour, and he can't move is what the master says, what the master says, whatever, it's boring, how can it be compared with my father, my father is a genius for governing the world." ”

Zhou Bian directly ignored Bai Wuxi's words, and turned his head to look at Fan Yu.

"I have carefully observed, this Yan Gao is really unparalleled in etiquette, has always been polite, and does not dare to be disrespectful at the slightest because the two sons are young, and is willing to be poor, and concentrate on teaching here. And the most rare thing is that this Yan Gongzi walks neither fast nor slow, and every step is like a ruler measuring the general size, which shows that this person is strict with himself. Is Childe really going to recruit him? ”

Each step is the same size, Zhou Bian looked down, and immediately shook his head, this person wants to be like this, it will be obsessive-compulsive disorder in the future generations, but in this era, it has become a sign of etiquette, so Zhou Bian responded, "I do have this idea, but Doctor Bai is not in Luoyang, let's wait for Doctor Bai to come back." "No matter what, Zhou Bian doesn't want to let go of any talented person, even if he hasn't determined whether he has real talent and real learning, because there are a lot of nobles under his command now, but there are too few who can really do things.

The little fat man didn't follow, "I'm still a son, it's for fun, and I still want to recruit it?" Childe, don't be deceived by this person, don't look at him pretending to know everything, open his mouth, shut up his master, he clearly wants to cheat Childe's money, this kind of teaching gentleman, I have seen a lot. Bai Wuxi obviously has a shadow in his heart, and he has resistance when he sees the teacher.

It's rare to be bored, Zhou Bian smiled, and began to enlighten the little fat man, which is nothing more than the words that some people don't know, and the group said in their mouths, but they didn't stop under their feet, and went straight to the north.

After walking a short distance to the north, I saw a group of panicked soldiers, and when I saw Zhou Bian, I was overjoyed and immediately surrounded him, but after the commander kept shouting, he didn't shout, otherwise it would be good to attract assassins. Then a carriage with a shed was brought in, and after picking up Zhou Bian and a few people, he quickly went north, disappeared in the eyes of pedestrians in the market, leaving suspicion in one place, and leaving another topic of conversation before and after tea for the people on the streets of Luoyang.

After returning to the palace that he was already familiar with, Zhou Bian's heart suddenly became nervous for no reason, just like a playful elementary school student who slipped out of the door, Zhou Bian was also worried about whether he would be scolded.

Sure enough, before he reached the Mingde Palace, he heard a woman's cry, it must be Liu's, Zhou Bian quickened his pace and stepped into the palace. Walking into the main hall, Zhou Bian first saw Liu standing aside, Qiao'er was supporting, and the cry was obviously from Liu. Zhou Bian felt distressed for a while, so he stepped forward, and suddenly a hum sounded, Zhou Bian looked at it, it turned out that there was a master sitting in the middle of the hall, and next to him was a young master, and the two old men sat on it, and at the same time had a straight face, it seems that a burst of preaching is indispensable, the country takes the old minister as the priority, Zhou Bian had to let go of the Liu family first, and walked towards the second old man hard.

Unexpectedly, the scolding did not come, Zhou Bian raised his head suspiciously, but saw the old master in tears, obviously moved by his true feelings, only to hear him say in a trembling voice, "It's good that the king is back, it's good to come back, but you can't run out by yourself." Now that there is chaos outside, if the king has any accidents, the old man will not have the face to see the queen mother, so he will simply kill himself here. ”

The young master on the side was not as emotional as the master, and persuaded him, "You don't want to talk nonsense, isn't it okay for the king, although the king is young, he is not a playful person, there must be important things to do when he leaves the palace, and the king is thoughtful, how can there be no arrangements when he leaves the palace, and the king's safety should be no problem." ”

The Taishi nodded, but ignored the young master, "The king can't scare the old man anymore, if there is really something, just ask the old man to do it." If you really want to get out of the palace, wait for my royal family to be more solid in Luoji, and when the time comes, the old man will personally arrange it for the king. ”

This is really taking himself as the master, although Zhou Bian did not agree with the Taishi's unusual caution, he was also moved in his heart, and after thinking about it, he asked, "Then does the Queen Mother know?" ”

"The old man hasn't sent someone to report yet, but the Queen Mother will definitely know." After a pause, Taishi suddenly felt that the crying was quiet, so he looked at Liu angrily and said, "Go into the house and cry, the slut dares to bewitch the king, if the king doesn't come back safely, he will definitely cramp and peel you." ”

"Taishi, but this king himself wants to go out, no matter what happens to Concubine Liu."

Taishi immediately changed his smiling face, "The old man just talked about her, so as not to be arrogant and break the rules." But what is the king leaving the palace for? Is it just to see the Tian family's refined salt go on the market? ”

"This is one of them, in addition, this king wandered around Luoyang City at will, but did not want to find a sage, but a Confucian person. This king has spoken for him in front of Dr. Bai, so that he can see my king of the Zhou family, which can be regarded as a talent for the country, hehe! ”
