Chapter 146: Don't give in

Zhou Bian was also taken aback when he heard this, idlers, how can anyone claim to be an idler, isn't this looking for a fight? Sure enough, in addition to the Taishi, the young master and the others were also a little displeased, but it was obviously aimed at the guard, "Don't you see that the king and the adults are busy, an idler, just drive it out, why bother to report, I really don't understand the rules." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" The young master spoke.

The guard immediately panicked, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "King, my lords, it's not that the little ones don't want to drive him away, but that guy looks like a scholar at a glance, and the little ones think that maybe it's the children of the big northern clans who have traveled here, and they can't say it, and if they look closely, they are really quite graceful, so they don't dare to be rude." There are also small people who think they are idle idlers, but the guy said that this virtuous is not idle, and this virtuous is virtuous, so as soon as the small ones discussed, it was decided that the small ones would report it. I don't want to disturb the adults, otherwise the villain will go and drive that guy away? ”

"Wait." This time, it was the Taishi who spoke up. I saw that the Taishi turned to Zhou Bian again, "King, the way of the world, if you can get one sage, you can win three masters." Now that my royal family is thirsty for talent, it is rare for a scholar to come to visit, why don't you meet the king? The rest of the ministers were naturally not jealous of the virtuous, so they also echoed their words.

In fact, Zhou Bian also has his intentions, after all, he can go to the gate of the palace and call himself a sage and ask to see the king, most of them still have a certain amount of talent. It's just that he didn't expect the Taishi to change so quickly, so Zhou Bian nodded with a smile. When the palace guard saw that the king had agreed, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and bowed down.

The minds of several ministers were also hung by this sage, so they no longer discussed anything else, but talked about who this sage was. But apparently it was still a little far from the palace gate, and after a while, I saw the guard running back again, "My lord, Master Taishi, that person has brought it." Seeing that the adults were all agreeing, the guy in the guard's mouth became the man.

"Xuan." The Grand Master said as he looked at the entrance.

In the curious eyes of everyone, a man in white slowly walked into the main hall with his hands arched, his head lowered, and small steps.

And when the rest of the ministers were still wondering who this was, Zhou Bian smiled, because as soon as the man entered the door, Zhou Bian looked carefully, and it was Yan Gao who taught the master in the alley.

I saw Yan Gao cautiously walked to the middle of the hall, first made a bow, then knelt down and bowed, kowtowed three times, shouted long live and then stood up and made a bow. Just looking at this salute, it is pleasing to people, you need to know that the royal family is declining, and it has long been disrespectful to these etiquettes, even when the court meeting, it is just a group of ministers to worship it, and if the prince and other close ministers see the king, it is just a bow. Therefore, Yan Gao's move, even the most picky Taishi also nodded again and again.

Yan Gao knelt on the ground and didn't get up after saluting, Zhou Bian knew that this was waiting for him, so he said loudly, "Flat." Only then did Yan Gao stand up, pat his sleeve and said, "Yan Gao, a grass citizen, studied under the master's learning, and is currently living in Luoyang for the time being, teaching the master's learning." Hearing that the Son of Heaven was seeking talent, he secretly pondered that what he had learned might be able to be used by the Son of Heaven, so he was ashamed to say that he recommended himself to the Son of Heaven, and invited the Son of Heaven and the ministers to take a look, and Yan was useful. Saying that, Yan Gao saluted the ministers around him, but he always lowered his head when he faced Zhou Bian.

The Taishi touched his beard and took the lead in asking, "The kid still understands etiquette, not bad." The old man asks you, is the master you are talking about Confucius, Confucius? ”

"Exactly." Yan Gao replied with an arched hand.

After listening to the Taishi, he nodded, turned his head to Zhou Bian and said, "The king, the old man has never been in front of the king, in fact, this Confucius is a native of Lu, famous for his good manners and etiquette, but his career is not smooth, so he is determined to teach and compile books, my royal family since the rebellion of the prince's dynasty, almost all of the original classics have been taken away and disappeared, the old man taught the king last year The book and the Spring and Autumn Period were compiled by this Confucius. In general, Confucius respected the royal way and was still talented and learned. Taishi was afraid that Zhou Bian would not understand Confucius, so he explained, in fact, how did Taishi know, as a later generation, who did not know Confucius? That's a saint!

However, he couldn't bear to brush off the kindness of the Taishi, so Zhou Bian nodded to indicate that he knew.

At this time, Ning Yue spoke, "I just heard from the palace guards that you call yourself a sage, so where is your sage?" ”

"Yan has learned the master's theory since he was a child, and he has learned the six arts, although he dare not say that he is proficient, but it is still about the same. Zi said, be benevolent, don't let the teacher. So I recommended myself. Yan Gao's tone was calm.

Ning Yue asked again, "I heard that the ancient sage was hidden in the world, but why did you want to enter the world again?" ”

"Zi said, learn and excel. Zi also said, the state has a way, then Shi. Yan is not talented, and respects the orders of the sages. ”

"Now that my royal family is in decline, Confucius has not come to vote for my royal family, why did you come?" Ning Yue still didn't let go.

This question is a bit difficult to ask, do you want him to say that he has taken a fancy to the wise King Zhou, or is Confucius wrong? As soon as this question came out, the Grand Master also turned his head and glared at Ning Yue. So without waiting for Yan Gao to open his mouth, Zhou Bian spoke to change the topic, "Yan Gongzi, you have been keeping your head down as soon as you come to the court, why is this?" ”

"The king is high, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, Yan does not dare to look directly at Zunyan." Yan Gao replied with an arched hand.

"Then the king will give you permission to look up and know this king." Zhou Bian recognized Yan Gao, but he didn't know if Yan Gao recognized him, so Zhou Bian stared at Yan Gao tightly.

"Do as the king commands!" Yan Gao raised his head as he spoke. Sure enough, there was a hint of panic in his eyes, but he immediately calmed down, and then lowered his head.

Zhou Bian naturally saw it in his eyes, and it was obvious that Yan Gao was a little surprised in his heart. "Yan Gongzi doesn't have to be restrained, this king and you have met." Saying that, Zhou Bian turned his head to Taishi and the others, "Taishi, this Yan Gao is the virtuous talent that he said to Taishi when the Japanese king went out, I wanted to find someone to invite him after a while, but Yan Gongzi came by himself today, hehe!" ”

Taishi nodded, but obviously the most satisfied was Yan Gao's image.

Unexpectedly, Yan Gao spoke at this time, "The king said with a smile, Yan had never seen the king before. ”

Ah, is it the same? Zhou Bian took a closer look, he had indeed seen it that day. "No way, you gave us two Analects in the chapel that day."

"It's true, but it wasn't the king that day." Yan Gao's words made people even more confused.

Zhou Bian touched his head, puzzled. "Why is that?"

"King, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, let alone the Son of Heaven? Walking between the markets with a few people alone is not the work of the Son of Heaven. "Yan Gao is colorful.

It turned out that it was because of this, and I wanted to persuade myself, but Zhou Bian smiled, "Don't you know, there were warriors lurking around your small hall that day, and the king's own safety is known to the king himself." ”

"The king's words are wrong, when Yan and the king were only two steps away, if Yan really had evil intentions, holding a half-foot sharp blade, he leaped forward, and fought for his life, he could make the blood of the Son of Heaven splash all over the ground with the courage of the horseman." Saying that, Yan Gao raised his head and looked straight over, and after saying that, Yan Gao lowered his head again.

"This king has never met you, why do you want to harm this king?" Zhou Bian was dumbfounded when he heard it, but when he thought about it, although Fan Yu was agile, after all, it was a time when people were negligent, if he really seized the opportunity, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Yan naturally doesn't have this thought, but there is a way to prevent trouble before it happens, does the king know that he doesn't have this mind if he changes someone else?"

"Well, this king has been taught." Zhou Bian is not a person who can't listen to opinions, so he nodded after thinking about it.

Two snaps sounded, and everyone applauded when they saw that it was the Taishi, Zhou Bian was speechless for a moment, this person really suited the Taishi's taste.

"Give Yan Gongzi a seat." Only then did Zhou Bian remember to let the family stand for a long time.

Soon, a waiter dragged a cushion, and Yan Gao respectfully thanked him and sat down.

Seeing Yan Gao's grateful, Zhou Bian's heart moved, and he couldn't help asking, "I don't know what Yan Gongzi thinks of this way of monarchs and ministers?" ”

"Zi said, the king makes the ministers courteous, and the ministers are loyal." Yan Gao replied.

Everyone was silent when they heard it, and when they thought about it, it was really like this. After half a ring, Bai Gui spoke, "I wonder what Gongzi Yan thinks about how to govern the country?" ”

"The Master once said, Prepare enough food, replenish your armaments, and win the trust of the people. Yan also thought so. ”

"Oh? There are too many of the three to have them all. So how about these three, I have to get rid of one of them? Baekyu asked.

"Then remove the armament."

"What if one more is removed?"

"Remove the food, if there is no food, at most someone will starve to death, and if there is no trust of the people in the royal family, I am afraid that the royal family will be difficult to gain a foothold."

"Well, that's a good point. The people do not stand without faith, and the old man has heard of it. That's what our royal family is doing now. The Taishi applauded again.

However, Ning Yue asked again, "Young Master Yan, you have been talking for a long time, and you are talking at every turn, don't you have a little opinion of your own?" ”

"It is not easy for the master to understand everything that the master has learned, so where is the energy to have his own opinions?" Yan Gao said that Chong Ning Yue bowed, and all the time he came, Yan Gao was polite.

"Okay, then I'll ask you. A few days ago, the Huang family and several other big families conspired against my king and were destroyed by my king, what do you think about this? Ning Yue asked, thinking that this is a world thing, do you still have to use Zi Yue to deal with it? Hearing this, Zhou Bian and the others also turned their attention to Yan Gao.

"The Huang family and others should be destroyed. However, Yan heard in the market that the king only punished him for the first evil, and let go of his family and slavery, which was really a benevolent and righteous act, so Yan decided to recommend himself in front of the king. ”

Oh, no wonder he suddenly came to the door, it turned out that his actions had become benevolent and righteous in Yan Gao's eyes. However, Zhou Bian did have a good impression of Yan Gao, so he asked, "Since Yan Gongzi recommended himself in front of this king, what do you think you are suitable for?" ”

"It is also possible to preside over ceremonies for the king, to collect taxes from the people for the king, and to take charge of military affairs for the king, depending on how the king uses it." Yan Gao's tone was still the same.

But these words made the Taishi also frown, and he was really ashamed. It's okay to have everything else in the next life, but don't be too self-righteous, otherwise it will be detrimental to the future development, so the Taishi wanted to reprimand him, so that he could have some understanding, but Zhou Bian opened his mouth first, "According to this king, you still teach." ”

Not only was Yan Gao puzzled at this time, but other ministers such as Taishi also looked at Zhou Bian, isn't this to drive people back? No matter how you look at it, this Yan Gao still has some talents, you can just let him be a small official, if you really drive people back, I'm afraid that there will be rumors outside that the king doesn't love talents.

The master was in a hurry, so he wanted to persuade him, and he was about to reprimand Yan Gao just now, but now he was going to intercede for him, but Zhou Bian shook his head.
