A moment had passed since the time of the audience, and while he was conducting an unnutritious interrogation, Lu Hou Song's eyes were also looking through the "crown" made of pearl and jade, and he was observing Zhao Wuxian so that he would not be drowsy.

This concubine of the military Zuo family in the Jin Kingdom has been very famous in the past few months, and it has even spread to the deep palace, so that Lu Hou knows that the wheat flour he began to eat and the Zhao porcelain that he can't put down are originally purchased by this person to the craftsman.

Moreover, he also seized Wei and Qi, joined the Lu State with his territory, and became his own courtier. But for this, Lu Hou didn't feel it at all. Because from the beginning to the end of this matter, no one asked him for half an opinion, and Yang Hu agreed to it alone, which made Lu Hou depressed.

But now it seems that, well, Zhao Wuxian is young, but his etiquette is very skillful and focused, and he also respects himself.

Lu Hou breathed a sigh of relief, he has seen enough knowledge in the past few years, and he has died one after another, when will this day be the end?

Although this Luhou is old, in his fifties, he is a "new monarch" and has only succeeded to the throne for eight years. He is the son of Lu Xianggong, the younger brother of the former monarch Lu Zhaogong, and was originally just a powerless and powerless "Gongzi Song", flying eagles and dogs inside and outside Lu City, and was not noticed and favored by anyone.

But when his brother Lu Zhaogong was in power, there was a serious incident of "ministers chasing the king": Sanhuan completely set up the monarch, and Lu Zhaogong, who was unwilling to be lonely, looked for an opportunity to cut down the Ji clan, but he forced the other two Meng clans and Shusun clan to rebel, so he was expelled by Sanhuan together. He first went into exile in Qi and then in Jin, and finally died in the 32nd year of Zhao Gong in Qianhou.

So the position of Luhou, which had been vacant for eight years, fell to the head of Gongzi Song.

Compared with Lu Zhaogong, who succeeded to the throne at the age of nineteen and was still "childlike", and had no grief but joy on his face when he was mourning, Lu Hou Song looked characterless and much more mediocre.

This is probably the reason why Ji Pingzi set up his successor under the guise of "one succession and one succession, Lu Zhichang also", without him, just because this person is a good puppet.

Just in Lu Hou Song's heart, he was thinking about when today's boring meeting would end. When he went back to the palace to enjoy the singing and dancing beauties he bought from Qi State, he heard Zhao Wuxian below say a sentence that was not in the right routine.

"The subordinates have no mercy, please watch the Lu national music."

Lu Hou, who had always acted as an elm puppet, heard Zhao Wuxian's words, and after a little hesitation, he smiled for the first time: "The Zhao family has been a century-old Shiqing since Zhao Chengzi. In the name of Zhiwen, how profound is the understanding of ritual music, and Jin is the country of the overlord, the poem 300 and many pieces of music should have been heard, why did Qing come to Lu to re-learn? ”

Zhao Wuxian said: "Although the kid studied etiquette and music with Shigao in the Jin Kingdom. But I know that among the princes, the most complete inheritance of Zhou Lile is still the Lu State, as the so-called 'Zhou Lile is all in Lu'. Now that he has become a doctor in Lu State, he must also study again, which is the so-called 'learning and learning, not to mention'. ”

So Lu Hou happily agreed, because his country was praised, which made him have a good impression of Zhao Wuxian, and asked Liu Xiaji to summon musicians on the spot to play poems such as "Feng Feng" and "Lu Song" for Wuxian. There is also the dancing accompaniment of the slender beauties of Lu Guo.

Naturally, Wuxian also rightly praised: "Beautiful! Happy but not lewd, worthy of the joy of Zhou Gong, the country of Luhou. ”

In fact, Zhao Wuxian was emulating Ji Zha, the prince of Wu who visited Lu fifty years ago.

When Wu Wang Shoumeng re-established contact with the Central Plains, he sent his son Ji Za to envoy Zhuxia, and the first stop was Lu State.

The Lu people were initially suspicious of this "Barbarian King" who wore a high-crowned Bo belt, but occasionally exposed skin still had ink-black dragon tattoos. Although the Wu people are said to be the descendants of Taibo and Zhongyong, they have been abandoned on the seashore and have not communicated with Zhongxia for hundreds of years, and they have ruled the land because of their customs. lived a life of abandoning etiquette and music, tattooing and breaking hair. So before that, the state of Lu regarded the state of Wu of the royal family surnamed Ji as a barbarian.

For example, in the seventh year of Lu Chenggong, because of Wu's invasion of Tan. The people of Lu once said: "China is not reviving the brigade, and the barbarians are attacking." ”

But when Ji Za used the standard Zong Zhou Yayin to invite Lu people to perform the music and dance of the Zhou royal family for him, Lu people began to slowly change their minds, thinking that this "barbarian gentleman" could still be edified.

Waiting for the arrogant Lu Guole official to beat the music, Ji Za listened to all the poems and all kinds of dance music. And after giving appropriate comments one by one, Lu Ren was shocked. Ji Za's teaching of etiquette and music was so far-reaching and profound that he was able to tell the rise and fall of Zongzhou and Zhuxia, and his words shocked the audience, making everyone look sideways and ashamed of the master of ceremonies of Lu Guo who was present.

The reason why Zhao Wuxian also asked Lu Hou to allow him to "watch the etiquette and music of the Lu country" was actually to win a reputation for himself as a "gentleman who knows etiquette".

The status of the Lu people as a great power is gone, the territory has shrunk, and the international discourse power has plummeted, but there is only one thing that has not changed, that is, a good face.

On this formal occasion where every sentence of the historian is recorded, the secretary who came from the hegemon is seriously studying the etiquette and music of the Lu State, which is certainly something worth mentioning. Wuxian can also be sure that in this way, except for Sanhuan and Yanghu, the other scholars and doctors in the Lu country will at least not reject him too much.

If you want to win the identity of a group, you must first identify with and learn their culture, and every state in Zhuxia is a sub-culture of China.

……

After the audience was completed, Liu Xiaji's eyes looked at Zhao Wuxian more kindly, and he volunteered to lead Kong Qiu to talk to him.

"Confucius came to Lucheng?"

Zhao Wuxian was stunned, he passed through the capital and did not meet Confucius, he has been regretting it for the past few days, but he came to Qufu.

Speaking of which, Confucius still came to ask his old friend Liu for help in the next season, wanting to borrow some grain, but after coming to Lucheng, he received a letter from Zhongduyi, saying that the corn given to Zhongdu by Zhao Wuxian, a doctor from Xiaqiu, had arrived, and the crisis of food shortage had been lifted.

Liu Xiaji is also very happy about this: "With Zitai's help, plus some of the grain I allocated to Zhongni, Zhongduyi should be able to last until the autumn harvest, which is a blessing for all the people!" It's really a relief for Jonny. ”

Zhao Wuxian smiled slightly when he heard this, this is also expected, this kind of thing should impress everyone in the Confucian Sect, and it will also be convenient for him to implement the next plan.

"Jonny also said that he would find an opportunity to visit Zitai at the pavilion, so I will inform him and take him to meet him officially."

Zhao Wuxian's current status is that of a doctor in Liangyi, which is higher than the title of the head of Kong Qiu, a small town. It's normal to sit and wait for him to come to visit, but Zhao Wuxian didn't want to take it seriously, but took the initiative to go with Liu next season.

"How can you let a sage trek? It's time to visit the talents! ”

The two shared a car, and they have now become "year-old friends" who talk about everything. However, Zhao Wuxian felt that Liu's car driving next season would always attract frequent attention, and the originally conservative girls in Lu Guo saw a handsome middle-aged handsome guy in this car.

Zhao Wuxian looked at the sky: "I am a foil for my feelings." ”

However, Liu Xia Ji seems to be used to this situation, and after closing the curtain on the side of the car, he can be safe. After a while, he suddenly sighed: "The people of Onozawa were oppressed by both officials and thieves to enter the central capital, and it is naturally a good thing that Zhongni can save them. However, this will inevitably lead to a shortage of treasury in the central capital, and when the time comes to the end of the year, I am afraid that I will be embarrassed by Shaozhengmao, who is not good with him. ”

This name Zhao Wuxian is a little familiar: "Shao Zhengmao? I have heard Zigong praise this man, he has a grudge against Confucius? ”

"Shao Zhengmao is a doctor of Lu Guo, serving as Shaozheng, and when Zhongni opened a private school in Qufu, Shaozheng Mao followed suit. Because he is known as Lu Zhiwen and can speak well, Confucius's disciples have all gone to listen to Shao Zhengmao's lectures, but Yan Yuan did not go. ”

Zhao Wuxian thought about it carefully, he remembered that there was a "Confucius Zhu Shaozhengmao" in the original history, which was also a mystery case that was controversial through the ages, and he didn't know what the truth was. Nowadays, Confucius's learning has the upper hand in the Lu country, but Shaozheng Mao is not weak, and there are hundreds of disciples. All over the Lu country, the government and the opposition, and the Sanhuan side of the lotus root, and the Yang Tiger side also have a lot of connections, Yang Hu triumphant "tree people". Shao Zhengmao is also an important member.

However, looking at the Lu State, it is still Confucius's students who are more worthy of use, as for Shaozheng and his party, Zhao Wuxian has to observe for a period of time before speaking.

At this moment, the motorcade passing through Haoshe suddenly stopped and lifted the curtain to look. But I saw that the front was densely packed with people, and it formed a wall.

"What happened?"

The erector in front came back to report that someone was watching the debate.

"Debate?"

"It's Kong Zhongni, he's arguing with people!"

There were idlers on the periphery shouting excitedly.

Zhao Wuxian and Liu Xiaji glanced at each other, it couldn't be so coincidental, could it be that Confucius and his nemesis Shao Zhengmao were openly holding a debate on the street?

"Doctor Yanagishita, you and I will go and take a look, how about it?"

……

Zhao Wuxian and Liu Xia Ji got out of the car on foot, and there were doctor-sized honor guards and guards to open the way, and they quickly squeezed into the inner circle of the human wall, but they saw that this was the situation inside.

An ox cart with two oxen carrying three people was stopped in the middle of the road by someone, and the opposite side could not be seen from Zhao Wuxian's angle, but this was the reason why everyone was watching.

The middle-aged man driving was nearly forty years old, but he was still as young and tall and burly as a reckless young man in his twenties. His eyes were blazing, he was wearing a crown of cranes, tied under his chin, wearing a wide robe, but he had a thick beard, and a short sword pinned to his waist.

Liu Xiaji whispered to Zhao Wuxian on the side: "This is Zhong You, Zi Zi Lu, with a fierce personality but quite loyal to Zhong Ni. ”

Zilu stared ahead, angry that he suddenly stopped, but the corner of his clothes was tightly pulled by another person behind him, so he didn't act rashly. Zhao Wuxian saw that the man's eyebrows were straight and wide-eyed, his expression was simple and amiable, he was wearing an old Confucian robe that looked a little thinner in autumn, and he was stepping on a pair of broken hemp shoes. Although it is dilapidated and dusty, it makes people feel that he is extremely clean from body to heart.

"This is Yan Hui, Zi Yuan, Zhong Ni's only disciple, the most studious and intelligent."

After seeing the famous Zilu and Yan Hui, Zhao Wuxian set his eyes on the elder who had already gotten out of the car and paced to the front.

But I saw that the man was as tall as nine feet, wearing a moon-white shirt and bottom, a silk belt around his waist, a dull jade, a cloth crown on his head, and a dark bun fixed with a hosta. His forehead is high and broad, and the thick tendrils on his face are dark, mixed with only a few traces of white, and his appearance is elegant and kind. His movements give people the feeling of a stubborn old pedant, and his smiling expression is like a gluttonous old neighbor who has been with him for many years, laughing and scolding.

"Looks like just an ordinary old man......"

His appearance does not have the visual impact of various legends, but is somewhat mediocre and unsightly.

But for some reason, Zhao Wuxian was still faintly excited in his heart.

It feels like a mountain that has walked a few laps but can't get around the bottom of the mountain, and when you reach the bottom of the mountain, the fog suddenly lifts and appears in front of the climber.

"Is this Confucius?"

"This is Jonny." Ryu next season gave an affirmative answer.
