Chapter 366: Immortal

PS: Ping is Yan Zi's nickname, and it is recorded as his character...... There is another chapter in the afternoon

Forty years ago, in the rebellion of Cui Zhu of Qi State, the Duke of Qi Zhuang was killed, and Yan Zi, a wise man who was "immortal and difficult", escaped that catastrophe. then Qing Feng destroyed the Cui family; Luan, Gao "Erhui" and Chen and Bao expelled Qingfeng; Chen Bao expelled Luan and Gao San's rebellion, he never groveled, but miraculously preserved his clan, and met when the Marquis of Qi was in trouble, creating a rare period of stability.

The Yan family began to rise after Yan Huanzi, and became a doctor when Yan was an infant, and was in charge of Qi government for a time. Although he never sought personal interests for his family, his family had no baskets to hide, and he lived in the middle of the merchants, but he had an old wife at home, but he refused the beautiful concubine given by the Marquis of Qi. But he couldn't stop his reputation from being too good, and the people helped the old and the young to come and join him, and now he has become the fifth strongest family in Qi under Guo, Gao, Chen, and Bao Siqing.

After the news of Yan Zi's death came out, the people of Linzi were very sad, and tens of thousands of people took to the streets to mourn together, hanging ink and manuscripts.

It is said that when Yan Zi was seriously ill and about to die, he specially chiseled open the pillar and put in a silk book, saying to his wives and concubines: "The letter in the pillar will be shown to him when Ah Yu is older!"

Yan Ying had a son in old age, and his son Yan Yu had not yet reached the crown, but he was directly awarded the title of the doctor by the Marquis of Qi, raised in the office, and asked a famous teacher to teach him the six arts of the gentleman, in order to inherit the temple family of Yan Zi.

What is written in Yan Zi's suicide note that outsiders don't know, maybe it's a prophecy about the future of Qi Kingdom, or maybe it's a clever trick to point out future generations to protect the clan.

Qi Hou was also very sad, and he used the most solemn Shangqing etiquette to personally mourn for Yan Zi. also held Biyu and cried to death next to Yanzi's black coffin.

Someone persuaded him: "Your Majesty, this is not in accordance with the rules of etiquette. ”

Qi Hou cried so much that his tears and snot were mixed together. He directly wiped the wide sleeves of his plain clothes and said, "How can you know the benefits of Yanzi? In the past, Lone and Yanzi went to play in the platform. He pointed out my mistakes three times in one day and forced me to correct them. Now that the Si people are gone, who else can be as just as he is, and who can often supervise the widows? Without Yanzi, the country of Qi is in danger! Where can you care about what is rude! ”

Guo Xia, Gao Zhang, and Bao Guo were all very sad about Yan Zi's death, but the only one who was happy was probably Gao Tang Chen. The only nemesis is dead, and the Chen father and son have tears on their faces, and when they return home, they celebrate with their crowns, and grasp the plan to weaken the Qi Office and the other three secretaries.

And Yan Zi's nickname was also personally chosen by Qi Hou.

Said "Ping"!

There is no peace, and there is no disaster.

The deacons have a system called peace. Not arbitrary.

Bu Gang Zhi Ji Ping, Shi Zhi Zhi

So Yan Zi has been respected by the world since then Yan Pingzi and Yan Pingzhong!

……

On the Lu side, just completed the change of the tomb of Lu Zhaogong, Confucius, who was in high prestige, also put on a dignified dress and led his disciples to worship in the direction of Linzi and Yanyi, although Yan Zi did not appreciate him, and even hindered his political career in Qi, but Confucius praised him very much.

He once praised and said: "Yan Zi is good at making friends with people, and he respects him for a long time." This will sigh helplessly: "Help save the people, but never boast." Words and deeds make up for the mistakes of the three monarchs Qi Linggong, Qi Zhuang Gong, and Qi Hou Pestle, but they are not proud of their achievements, Yan Pingzi is really a gentleman, it's a pity. ”

Zhao Wuxian's Liqiu also caught up with this trend that affected the whole world. The dietary specifications were lowered, and the plan to go south to Taoqiu was postponed so that Yan Zi could mourn in silence.

On the day of the Yao Festival of the first seven days of Yan Zi. He said to Ran Qiu, Gongxi Chi, Kan Zhi and other subordinates:

"Uncle Muzi once said, like Bao surname Shou name. In order to keep the ancestors, so that future generations will not be endless. Such a doctor is not uncommon in any country, these people are just close to the body, and there is nothing to show off. But there is virtue in the Tai, followed by meritorious service, followed by speech, and there is no one in ten thousand who can get one of these three. However, no one can find fault with Yanzi's virtue; Yan Zi Qi, assisting three generations of Qi Marquis, has made great contributions to the country; His words were witty and wise, and the matter of envoying to the state of Chu was praised and emulated by people from all over the world. In this way, Yanzi can be called ......

Immortal! ”

Kan Zhi, who also admired Yan Zi very much, was a little distracted today, and when he heard Zhao Wuxian's words, he always liked to speak up about his own opinions, and he asked rhetorically: "

"How difficult it is to be immortal, everyone in the world praises Yan Zi within a hundred years, but five hundred years, after a thousand years, ordinary people do not know his name, and after two thousand years, his surname and merits, words and deeds may be obliterated. Si Kou can be so sure that there are really dead and immortal people in this world? ”

Zhao Wuxian smiled and said categorically: "However, I can be sure that people two thousand years later, even if they don't know who the current monarchs of Qi and Jin are, and who the ruling countries are, the name of Yanzi is familiar!" His deeds will be remembered for centuries! ”

Kan Zhi was stunned, Zhao Wuxian's words were so affirmative, as if he had witnessed it through thousands of years, which made people have to believe it.

Of course, Wuxian can be sure that his acquaintance with Yan Zi spanning thousands of years probably started with that article "Yan Zi Makes Chu", right?

But now, he can only sigh: "It is a pity that I have not been able to meet this wise man and listen to his teachings. ”

……

In mid-June, Yanzi's funeral also reached the Jin Kingdom.

Although the two countries of Jin and Qi were in a state of hostility, the Marquis of Jin still made a special trip to reduce the dietary specifications for Yanzi, and one day, so did the city of Liuqing.

This is a kind of respect for this funny and intelligent politician, although he is less than six feet tall, his virtues, his merits, and his words are enough to make all the ministers and doctors of the Jin Kingdom look sideways!

Liuqing was also speculating that Yan Ying had been ill for a long time in the autumn and winter of last year, but he died intermittently until midsummer this year. Some people believe that the reason why the two-year war for hegemony between Jin and Qi was silent for so long after the battles of Zhen and Xiaqiu, and why Qi did not take advantage of the Yanghu Rebellion to attack Lu, is that Yan Zi's advice is at work. Now that he is gone, I am afraid that the war will start again, but I don't know whether Qi Guo chooses to attack before or after the autumn harvest.

As for the location of the attack, some people believe that it was either the fortress of Qi, which fell to Yulu, or Yiyi, which was across the river from Gaotang......

……

Although the ministers and doctors have expressed something, the saddest thing is Wu Guoyanling Jizi.

The old man is no longer as energetic as he was young. Only the persistence of the wind and candle remained, after Wu Guo Xu confirmed that his old friend Yanzi really died. Dealt him another heavy blow.

After the meeting of the soldiers, the world took Shuxiang, Zisheng, Yan Ying, and Ji Za as the four sages. Now the three sages have withered, and only the prince of Wu Guo is left alone.

After the grief, he quickly came out, because the Xu land that Wu had just conquered more than ten years ago was a little unstable, and he was entrusted by the king of Wu, Lao Jizha specially took the northbound mission of Wu to run here. Because of the matter of hanging a sword for Xu Jun, he had a very high prestige among the Xu people, and Xu Zi even took the initiative to ask King Wu after being attacked and surrendered by the Wu army. It is better to take Ji Za as the feudal lord of Xu Land, and he was willing to be a courtier, but he was vetoed by King Wu.

Although Ji Za is old, he is still the legitimate heir to the throne of King Wu!

Lao Wu Wang Shoumeng has four sons: the eldest son is called Zhu Fan, the second son is called Yu Sai, the third son is called Yu Yu, and the fourth son is Ji Zha. Ji Za is virtuous, Shou Meng also wanted him to succeed to the throne before his death, but Ji Za avoided it and did not agree. So let the eldest son Zhu Fan succeed to the regent, but Shou Meng made a last order before he died: Ji Za must be allowed to succeed to the throne!

If he refused, several of Jiza's brothers would have to be brothers and sisters, and one by one they would guard the throne for Jiza. Waiting for him to change his mind one day and sit on the throne, so as to satisfy the last life of the first king Shoumeng.

So. The kings of the past dynasties of Wu, Zhu Fan. Aftermath sacrifice, remnant. In the eyes of some Wu people, these people are all helping Ji Za occupy a seat. Even after He Lu assassinated the prince, he had to put on a posture and personally went to Yanling to "beg" Ji Za to succeed to the throne, so as to appease the boiling public opinion.

Ji Za once again rejected He Lu's hypocrisy, he was only willing to be his Yanling Jizi.

At this moment, in Xudi, a living room with simple decoration but filled with countless bamboo slips, Ji Za said to Yan Yan, a young man from Wu who was dressed as a Zhongxia scholar: "Yan Zi's intelligence is unmatched in the world, but he can escape the civil strife, and he can not succumb to others but can keep the clan safe, but he can't escape life, old age, sickness and death." I am the same, I can avoid the throne, but I can't avoid the suspicion of the king, and now I want to stay in Yanling, I just hope to teach a few more Wu people like you, so as to spread the etiquette of Zhuxia and civilize the barbarian customs of Wu. ”

At that time, Wu Guotaibo and Zhong Yong broke off their tattoos, abandoned Zhou Li, ruled the country with Jing Barbarian and Yue customs, and abandoned them on the seashore for hundreds of years, not communicating with Ji, and were even regarded as barbaric barbarians by the Lu people. When King Wu dreamed of longevity, the Wu people began to gradually return to their old customs, and Ji Za was one of the representatives.

He learned the etiquette of the Central Plains with Hu Yong, the son of Qu Wu, and then made the first official envoy to Zhuxia on behalf of the Wu State, and all kinds of deeds along the way were passed down as beautiful stories.

Yan Yan seems to be a portrayal of Ji Zha's youth, he is a local Wu nobleman in Yanling, he also cut his hair and tattoos when he was young, shirtless, and swam among rivers and lakes with a short sword. After he was a little older, he began to grow his hair and tie his hair in a bun, worshiped under the Jizha Gate, followed him to wear a crown with wide sleeves, and learned Central Plains characters, poetry and book etiquette.

Now that he has a little success, he will go north as the assistant of Qu Bian, a pedestrian from Wu, firstly as a translator, and secondly, he also wants to be like Ji Za, watching ceremonies and studying in the north, so as to introduce the advanced culture of the north and change the barbaric scene of "the country of Wu, cutting hair and tattoos" as soon as possible.

Yan Yan said sincerely: "Zhuxia scholars must call each other words not names, Yan Yan has no words, and please give Ji Zi words!" ”

Ji Za smiled slightly: "Wu Ren was originally a wanderer in the Zhou room, and now you are going north to study, and you are a wanderer in Wu Kingdom, so your character is called Ziyou...... I went to the north, I don't know who I want to study? ”

Yan Yan had already made a plan: "I heard that there is a Mr. Deng Xi in Zheng State, who is good at legal litigation and is a bamboo punishment. And there are two well-known people in the Lu country, one is Confucius, a small sect uncle, who is good at etiquette and education, and the other is Shao Zhengmao, who is good at debating and erudite, and I may worship them. ”

Ji Za shook his head: "Deng Xi seems to be embarrassed by Zheng Guo's governance recently, and he is unable to protect himself. In addition, now there are not only two people in Lu country, but three! ”

"Dare to ask who else?"

Ji Zha stroked his beard and said: "The son of Zhao Qing of the Jin State is not sympathetic, he is quite famous, and the theory of learning from the past year and the theory of cultivating Qi Zhiping has spread to Yanling, which is very thought-provoking. I heard that he still has a lot of talents, or good at craftsman skills, or good at mathematical calculations, you can stay for a while when you pass through the western disdain of Lu Guo, and show me who this Zhao son is!
