Zeng Dian, Zhao Wuxian remembered that he had heard this name, could it be the famous Zeng Zi? Or is it Zengzi's father?

After seeing Zeng Dian's temperament and style of acting, Zhao Wuxian ruled out the first possibility, then the child in his arms is Zeng Shen, who claims to have inherited Confucius's thoughts.

No one could have imagined that Zengzi, who was serious about learning, would have such a presumptuous father.

Facing the "Lu Zhilishi" who was still drumming above, Zhao Wuxian asked Ran Qiu: "Although leaning on the door and singing has his own reason, it is really inconsistent with the world and violates the etiquette law, does Confucius let him do it?" ”

For this, Ran Qiu is still very proud, he said: "The master once said that if you can't go with it, you will be crazy!" The mad are enterprising, and the ruthless are not doing anything. ”

The Bank of China is a person who practices moderation, which means that if you can't find a person with the mean, you can deal with a person with a crazy personality.

The characteristic of a madman is to be aggressive: this society is too dark, and I must change this dark and unjust reality. A person who is so motivated is a madman.

The characteristic of the ruthless is that they do something: this society is too dark, there is no way to do it, and it can't be changed. However, of course, I can't change this dark reality, and you don't expect to change me in the dark reality, I will still behave according to my principles. A person who does not do anything like this is a ruthless person.

Mencius in later generations was a madman, and Zhuangzi was a madman.

Ran Qiu explained: "Master believes that etiquette should not only stay in form, but also follow etiquette by people's words, people's eyes, people's expressions, and people's actions on the surface. Etiquette should be a sincere expression of human feelings, without true benevolent feelings, what is the use of going to great lengths to do these etiquette? Is it to hide the ugliness of the heart? ”

And different people express their salutes in different ways, so it is said that among the people who went to pay tribute to Ji Wuzi that day, some of them behaved sadly, but in fact, they did not have grief in their hearts. Although Zihui leaned on the door and sang, he expressed his farewell to Ji Wuzi. Not intentionally, but from the heart. ”

Zhao Wuxian was stunned, and after what he saw along the way and what he saw yesterday, he had a new understanding of the inclusiveness of early Confucianism.

Early Confucianism was very diverse. Confucius tolerated sharp disagreements from his students, and most of them were forgiven as long as they did not exceed the bottom line. Among them, there are warriors like Zilu, whose personality is biased towards light chivalry; There are businessmen like Zigong, who concentrate on eloquence and getting rich; There is Ran Qiu so versatile. Governor of military affairs; There are even such mad Confucians who behave quite similarly to Zhuangzi, the opponent of Confucianism in later generations.

At present, they are the mainstay of Kongmen, but what happened next? As a result, people like Confucian Zhongzi Lu, Zigong, Ran Qiu, and Zeng Dian were excluded as non-mainstream, and the high-crowned Confucian scholars who sat down to talk about Taoism occupied the Taoist system.

Was it because of Confucius's political setbacks and his complete turn to academics? Or was it in the upheaval at the turn of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, what happened that made Confucianism split, conservative and retro become the mainstream?

But in short, Conciu is such a dilapidated aristocracy. In the early years, I was miserable, and my ideals were not given the opportunity to be practiced, but at least now my reputation is growing. At the end of the day, it can only be the result of a person's inner charisma. Confucius, who can say such a thing, has a personality charm that makes Wuxian a little yearning and wants to travel with him.

The clouds that enveloped the mound of nuns gradually dissipated and became clearer and clearer.

Ran Qiu said again: "The master also instructed that only Zihui can do this alone, and others still have to abide by etiquette and cannot follow suit." This is the gentleman is harmonious but different, and the villain is the same but not harmonious. By the way, after the doctor's sentence of 'Jin Se unprovoked' was written by Senior Brother Zigong on the slip and sent back, Zihui was the favorite. Holding and chanting all day long, this situation has lasted for more than a month, and he is here today, probably to say goodbye to the doctor. ”

At this moment, the movement of the drums on the wall changed from light to slow, and the happy sounds and songs began to become sad.

"Heaven gave birth to me. Where am I? For example, I don't know what to do. ”

The people who watched the excitement had become accustomed to this, and when they heard that Zeng Dian had turned from joy to sadness, they gradually dispersed after looking at each other; Although the displaced people in Yuncheng who were attracted to it couldn't understand it, they remembered the tragic situation of leaving their hometowns, and they all sobbed together.

And Zhao Wuxian also changed color a little after hearing this.

This is a "Xiao Ben" in the Book of Songs, the legend is that King Zhou You exiled the prince Yijiu, Yijiu was angry and complaining in his heart. The poem writes about Yijiu's loneliness, wandering, loss, pain, thinking, and questioning.

The jackdaws are lonely when they fly in flocks, the willows and cicadas chirp, and they wander with nowhere to live, and no parents to rely on. This is somewhat similar to the confusion of Zhao Wuxian in the month when he suddenly came to the Spring and Autumn Period, and the lonely and miserable state of mind when he was first exiled.

These lines of poetry really seem to be sung especially for Zhao Wuxian.

With the sound of "sonorous", the sound and singing gradually thinned out, and Zeng Dian burst into tears. The youngest son in his arms, Zeng Shen, was at a loss to wipe his father's tears, he could be so sensible at a young age, and he must be a pure filial son when he grows up.

Zhao Wuxian raised his head and asked loudly: "The elder is now in his prime, there are famous teachers teaching on his knees, and his son serving under his knees, and he drums every day, which can be described as fun, why are he crying?" ”

Zeng Dian held his son's puffy little hand, looked at Zhao Wuxian and replied: "Although I am in my prime, I was a teenager thirty years ago, where will I be in thirty years?" What's the use of having ambitions in the world? It's better to have fun. Dr. Zhao once said that 'Jin Se is unprovoked', and he should be able to understand the meaning. ”

He didn't have any extra etiquette towards Zhao Wuxian, because Zeng Dian felt that in Fang Cai's music, he had already traveled with Wuxian, and he was no longer a stranger he met for the first time, but an acquaintance who had known him for many years.

The poem written by Zhao Wuxian two years ago reached Zeng Dian's ears, which made him feel like a "confidant" for Wuxian, a young junior. Today, there is a faint persuasion to escape the world when there is no mercy, do not go to Qufu to go to the dark court, and mix with the conspiracy of swords and swords.

Among them, the meaning of caring for future generations can be felt by Zhao Wuxian.

But in life, how can you not fight? Today's situation, for example, is sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, if you don't fight for knives, you will be fish!

Commoners can still plough in the wilderness and escape in seclusion, but as a Qing clan, if the political struggle fails. That's the end of the whole race!

So Zhao Wuxian pondered for a moment and said: "Zihui is a ruthless person, doing something and not doing something; But he is willing to be a madman, forge ahead, and bring peace to the people......"

He looked around. raised his voice and said, "Although there are tens of millions of people, I will go!" ”

These words were deafening, and the young Ran Qiu listened to the blood swelling, Zifu He lowered his head and chewed on this sentence, and more than 100 Zhao clan soldiers behind him bowed down in unison. It is even more unscrupulous.

Zeng Dian was slightly stunned, then burst into tears and laughed, and teased the young son in his arms again. He was still in tears just now, and in the blink of an eye, he laughed and talked, and the change was very sudden, but because of his natural attitude, it didn't feel abrupt, as it should be.

"Since that's what the doctor wants, that's no more nonsense."

Zeng nodded to the beat with one hand on his knees, and waved his sleeve with the other hand and said, "Se has drummed." Wish, go, go! ”

After Zhao Wuxian and his party traveled east again, they only heard the clear sound behind them, and the poetry in the soft singing voice on the wall came back, and he was bidding farewell to Zhao Wuxian.

"Those who know me say that I am worried. Those who don't know me say what I want! ”

Zhao Wuxian turned his head to look at Zhongduyi, which was gradually moving away, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "There is really a feeling that there is no one in the future who has no knowledge of the future, and no one in the world knows you." If it weren't for the fact that Lingyi still had to go to the restoration and governance, and the dispute situation in the Jin Kingdom was still waiting to be cleaned up, I really wanted to stay in Zhongdu like this and take a good look at the various beings of the sons of Confucius. ”

He felt now. There is still hope for this school, this group, but they have gone astray in later generations. Zhao Wuxian couldn't do his best, but he wanted to lose a piece of chess and help them correct it!

……

After Zhao Wuxian and his party walked east for two days, the three-hundred-mile journey from Liqiu to Qufu was finally coming to an end.

It is bordered by Sushui and Surabaya. The hills are dense, and the fashion left by the Duke of Zhou is still preserved, and the folk customs pay attention to etiquette, so the local people behave carefully and restrainedly. The land is small, the population is large, the people are stingy, afraid of crime, far away from evil, quite a lot of mulberry and hemp industry, and there are few resources of mountains, forests and rivers.

Feng Rin was also in the convoy, and along the way, his task was to memorize the roads he passed and draw sketches.

There are still six or seven miles away from the city, and the number of pedestrians on Tu Road is gradually increasing. The fields on the side of the road are endless, the manor stands in the distance, and dozens or hundreds of peasants and concubines are scattered in the fields. The soap-clothed Chinese man with a big staff standing on the ridge of the road with his chest protruding and protruding, was directing a few savages to hoe and water the weeds.

In the afternoon, Qufu was in sight, and Zifu He introduced: "The official name of Qufu is Lucheng, and all Lu countries are named after the national capital. ”

Zhao Wuxian looked around, and the first thing in front of him was a moat more than ten zhang wide, and the moat introduced Sushui as a moat, and the river water sparkled in the twilight, looking like a picture scroll that was constantly extending and endless. On the inner side of the moat, Lu soldiers patrol the five-zhang towering city wall made of rammed earth and masonry with their spears, and under the city wall, there is also a group of soldiers in bright armor standing in line on both sides of the city gate.

"There's a car coming."

A horse-drawn carriage drove from the wooden bridge under the city to meet the shirtless convoy, on which the flying tiger flag fluttered in the wind, and a tall man in a black and red dark coat was looking at the car.

Zhao Wuxian knew this in his heart, and Zifu He changed color.

They didn't expect that it would be Yang Hu who came to greet them in person!

……

PS: Some of Confucius's old acquaintances are called Yuan Yang, who is also a madman, and he has done even more excessively.

The Book of Rites. Under the Tan Bow records that Yuan Yang's mother died, and Confucius helped him clean the coffin. He knocked on the coffin and said, "I haven't sung for a long time. So he sang: "The head of the raccoon dog is spotted, and the hand of the woman is curled." ”

Confucius pretended not to hear and walked away. The disciple who followed him asked, "Can't the Master stop him from singing?" Confucius said: "As far as Qiu knows, the relatives who have not been lost are relatives, and the old acquaintances who have not been lost are old acquaintances." ”

Confucius tolerated the behavior of Yuan Yang, and the people he hated the most were not people who were rude and unruly, but people who were "willing to make a difference". (To be continued.) )
