However, after walking south for a long time, I walked into the alley, and I didn't see a decent shop, and even the population became less and less. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But although there may not be a conspiracy, suspicion is essential, but Zhou Bian did not make a sound immediately, but pretended not to care and continued to follow, but his eyes quietly began to carefully observe the surrounding environment, wanting to find out what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of this Bai Wuxian.

After the group silently walked south through a few alleys, Zhou Bian finally saw a familiar alley entrance, isn't this what he passed by when he was about to go to meet Li Yuan and others after leaving the palace, it seems that Li Yuan's stronghold in Luoyang is not far away. After thinking about it again, I understood, it turned out that I wanted to trick the king here first, and then persuade him to go back to the palace, after all, it is not easy to talk on the street, and even if the king does not want to go back for a while, it is safer to stay in this courtyard. This matter must have been the idea of Zhou Mi and others, but I don't know when Bai Wuxi got mixed up with Zhou Mi and others, and it was interesting to cooperate so tacitly.

Zhou Bian naturally didn't want to give in, so he pointed to the left, "Ben Gongzi remembered, I heard that the grocery store is over there, let's go over there." After turning his head and looking at Bai Wuxian, he took the lead and walked over, Bai Wuxian had no choice but to look at each other with Zhou Mi, shook his head and walked up, it seems that the king is really fine, not easy to deceive.

This area is a civilian area, all small courtyards, quiet and peaceful, from time to time you can see bare-bottomed children playing by the door, and when they saw two little boys coming, they immediately flashed to the side, looking at this group of people curiously. Although this scene looks peaceful, it is not what Zhou Bian wants to understand now, he prefers to see the prosperous scene in the market, because it can give him more inspiration for governing the country.

So Zhou Bian decided to turn north at the next intersection, and the north side was Dingdingmen Street. However, when he walked to the intersection, there was a sudden neat human voice, and Zhou Bian's heart moved, so he walked in the direction where the sound came from. Obviously, everyone heard it, and Zhou Mi immediately walked in front of the two vigilantly.

The further I went, the clearer the voice became, and I could finally tell that it was the sound of reading, and it was not the voice of two people, but the voice of a group of people. When I got closer, I heard it more clearly, but it was a group of teenagers chanting in unison, "The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection." ”

Isn't this one of the four books "University", I used to read it when I was in college, how could someone read it collectively here, is there a school at this time? With doubts in his heart, Zhou Bian approached with light steps, and he really couldn't bear to disturb the learning atmosphere. Approaching gently, it turned out that the sound of reading came from a courtyard, but the courtyard door was ajar.

The sound of reading never stopped, but Zhou Bian stopped the hand stretched out in mid-air, hesitated for a moment, push, or not push?

Seeing that the king was staying here, Fan Yu and Li Yuan and the others were fine, and after confirming that they were safe, they stayed quietly aside, but the little fat man Bai didn't do it, "Xian Gongzi, Xian Gongzi, what's so good to see here, let's go back." Obviously, the sound of reading a book evokes some painful memories of Bai Wuxi.

was shouted by Bai Wuxi, Zhou Bian suddenly came back to his senses, and he didn't know who this courtyard was, it was really inappropriate to enter rashly, not to mention the uncertainty of safety, it was also a loss of etiquette for the owner of the courtyard, so he nodded, turned around and wanted to leave. Unexpectedly, I heard a thorough baritone voice in the courtyard, "It's fun to have friends from afar!" Woohoo, the person who comes is a guest, and he doesn't even enter the courtyard gate, is it because Yan didn't go out to greet him? ”

It seems that Bai Wuxi's words just now were heard, but the words are all on the table, and it's not good not to go in, and as soon as this familiar Analect came out, even Zhou Bian was curious. So Zhou Bian nodded, Li Yuan took a step forward and gently pushed open the door, looked inside, and then bowed inside and retreated.

Looking back, after getting Zhou Mi's nod, Zhou Bian folded back to the door with confidence. When I walked to the door, I saw a man in a white robe, who was walking towards the door with a smile, and there was a bamboo couch behind him, presumably resting in the courtyard, so he heard the movement at the door.

This person is of medium stature, in his thirties, with a common Confucian scarf on his head in ancient times, white clothes with long sleeves fluttering, and small steps, which makes people feel good at a glance. So Zhou Gong arched his hand and said, "The kid was rude, he disturbed Mr., and when he was about to retreat to prepare for visiting again in the future, he was still discovered by Mr., please forgive me!" ”

"It's okay, Childe is an unintentional move, not to mention disturbing, if it weren't for the tip of Yan's ear, it would not be heard. If the two sons don't dislike it, please sit inside, so that Yan can fulfill the friendship of the landlord? ”

"That's very good, I was about to ask sir, and the kid was not welcome." Before Bai Wuxian could react, Zhou Bian said first, making a gesture of invitation, and several people walked towards the house, and Fan Yu also followed.

Looking at the entourage that followed closely, the man who claimed to be surnamed Yan looked back and smiled, but he didn't say anything. In front of this small courtyard is a hall, and through the propped up window, you can see more than a dozen teenagers in plain clothes, each holding a bamboo slip in their hands, reading aloud. The man in white smiled and said, "I'm out of company." Zhou Bian nodded, and the man in white turned around and entered the hall, clapped his hands to stop everyone from reading, and said loudly, "Master said that if you think without learning, you will die, and if you learn without thinking, you will be reckless." I've been reading for a long time and I'm tired, and then I'll think about what this passage means, and I'll report it to me one by one, you know? ”

After hearing only a dozen people say yes in unison, the venue suddenly became much quieter. The gentleman walked out again and said to Zhou Bian, "It's rude, come, two sons, let's go this way." ”

As he spoke, he led everyone to the side room. After the guest sat down, the man in white spoke, "Yan has been studying and teaching here for several years, and when he was resting in the courtyard, he happened to see Gongzi raising his hand outside the door and wanted to push the door, but he retracted his hand, thinking that he couldn't bear to disturb it. ”

It turned out that they were all seen by others, and I really didn't notice the crack in the door, so it seems that I was still attracted by the sound of reading. Thinking that Zhou Bian nodded, he listened to the man continue to ask, "A certain Guan Gongzi is polite and generous, but he is so young, but I don't know which big family in the city can give birth to such a beautiful woman as Gongzi." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's over. The boy is a member of the Bai family. Zhou Bian replied, ignoring the silent protest of the little fat man beside him.

"Oh, it turned out to be Bai Gongzi. I was polite and polite. ”

"Yan Gongzi can call me a Xian Gongzi, and this is the little white child." Zhou Bian waved his hand at the little fat man, and suddenly made the little fat man glare at him dissatisfied, you can pretend to be someone from my family, why do you add a small word in front of my title?

Zhou Bian ignored it at all, but immediately asked Yan Gongzi, "I just heard Gongzi mention the master, could it be that this master is Confucius, the historian of the Lu State?" After coming to this era, Zhou Bian has always been very concerned about Confucius, but he has never heard Taishi and others mention it, although Confucius has 2,000 disciples, his reputation in this era is still not as obvious as that of later generations. I really don't know how far the influence of Confucianism, which has ruled China for more than 2,000 years and continues to this day, has developed, and Zhou Bian is full of curiosity.

I thought that this Xian Gongzi would first ask what he was doing, where he came from, and so on, but he asked about the master first, although Yan Gongzi was puzzled, he still replied respectfully, "It is the ancestor master, and the one who is known as Shangkong Xiaqiu is." Has Xian Gongzi also studied the master's learning? ”

Of course, isn't it okay to learn and learn? I learned this since I was a child, but Zhou Bian didn't know how the Analects were spreading at this time, and he didn't dare to express it easily, so he nodded and said, "Master has heard of it, but I can't read it, it's a pity." ”

Yan Gongzi obviously didn't wonder Zhou Bian's words, but smiled meaningfully, took a roll of bamboo slips from the small table next to him, and handed it over, "Xian Gongzi doesn't have to regret it, the doctrines of the ancestors are here." As he spoke, he handed the bamboo slip up.

Zhou Bian took it suspiciously, unfolded it, and saw that the first sentence was written, "Zi said, learn and learn from time to time, don't you also say?" Isn't this the Analects, a Confucian classic that has been passed down for centuries, Zhou Bian smiled and politely handed it back. Unexpectedly, Yan Gongzi smiled and stretched out his hand to push it back, "This is for Gongzi Xian, since Gongzi has said that it is a pity, then I will give it to Gongzi." The Master had vowed to write only books in his life, but this book was compiled by several of the Master's disciples and his followers, recording the Master's words and deeds, and I believe that it will help the Master's teachings to be passed down. The master is very righteous, if the son can read it with his heart, I believe he will be able to understand a lot. This is what was left in the family, and Yan re-copied it, and I hope that the son will not refuse. ”

"Thank you very much!" Zhou Bian accepted it with a smile and handed it to Fan Yu behind him to put it away. "It's just that I also asked Yan Gongzi to teach me, where is the essence of the master's learning?"

"In general, benevolence."

"Hmm." Zhou Bian nodded, "What is the master's ideal?" ”

"Depressed, I follow Zhou. Confucius was committed to returning to the era when King Wu was founded, when the Duke of Zhou was in power, all the countries came to the court, the ceremonies and music were played in unison, and the princes were in their positions, and the master also ran around for this all his life. ”

"Oh, that master has been to Luoyang and has he met my King Zhou?"

"The master came to Luoyang, but he didn't meet the king of Zhou, but asked the prince of the Zhou Dynasty. In fact, in the Master's view, the root cause of the peace in today's troubled times and the time when there is no longer civil and military affairs is not in the royal family, but in the princes, so the Master travels around the countries to promote his governing strategy. ”

"Oh, then according to Yan Gongzi, what is the master's governing strategy?"

"Monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons."

"But what do you mean?"

"There is an order between the top and the bottom, and there is a difference between respect and inferiority. If the order comes out from above, it will not be chaotic, and everyone will be at peace with his life, and there will be no more disputes, and the world will be governed by greatness. Yan Gongzi said with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhou Bian couldn't help but shake his head, but it was not convenient to make an evaluation, and after thinking about it, Zhou Bian asked, "Then did he achieve it?" ”

"Not yet."

"Alas, in today's troubled times, people's hearts have changed, and it is really difficult to implement it." Zhou Bian sighed.

"So, and I'll wait for the Master." Yan Gongzi smiled gently, but he was firm, only to see Yan Gongzi bend down and take out a bamboo slip from a few small times, and handed it to the little white fat man beside Zhou Bian who had not made a sound, "The master said, there is no class of teaching, Yan has been teaching here for several years, never asking about the student's background, as long as he is willing to come to learn, he can come." However, at a glance, Childe knew that his status was precious, and it was impossible to condescend to my small hut, so he also gave this book to Bai Gongzi, and if he suddenly remembered it when he was free, he could also take a look. We call this book 'Treatise'. ”

Bai Wuxi suddenly had a big headache, and finally followed the king to study every day, but now someone sent the book, and when he was frowning, he suddenly saw Zhou Bian nodding slightly at himself, so he had to take it hard, but he thought in his heart, I don't look at it after I go back, it's rare that the king will force me to read?

Just as he was about to say thanks, suddenly the door creaked open, Zhou Bian looked back and saw that Zhou Mi, who was guarding the door, walked in, and was about to scold, but saw Zhou Mi first saluting Yan Gongzi in a regular manner, and Yan Gongzi didn't mind, and nodded with a smile. So Zhou Bian couldn't blame, so he cast his puzzled eyes on Zhou Mi, and suddenly broke in, could it be that there was something urgent?
