At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius pioneered private learning in the Lu State, recruiting 3,000 civilians as disciples, and obtained 72 sages to pass on the mantle of Confucianism, and since then Confucianism has gradually developed into the world's manifest learning. Confucius's recruitment of a large number of disciples did allow Confucianism to develop rapidly, but gradually the drawbacks also appeared. After the death of Confucius, the disciples of Confucianism had different opinions on the understanding of some of Confucius's words, so at the beginning of the Warring States Period, the originally powerful Confucianism split into many small factions, in order to compete for the dominance of Confucianism, each small faction also continued to improve itself, or intensively study the great works written by Confucius, or develop their own doctrines on the teachings of Confucius. The professor in Tancheng was a great Confucian who was famous for his intensive study of the Book of Songs.

After listening to the Confucian scholar's narration of the Book of Songs, Zhao Jie prophesied to himself: "The future world must be the world of Confucianism." ”

A Confucian scholar sitting next to Zhao Jie asked curiously when he heard this, "How can you see it?" ”

Zhao Jie explained: "Confucianism has changed to Confucianism to meet the needs of kings, and the future world will be the world of those who keep pace with the times." ”

"Brother Ren is exaggerating, how can the future be predicted by one person." After speaking, the Confucian student laughed a few times and walked out of the door of Yixue.

"Brother Jie, if you say it, wouldn't it be true that we women will completely lose their status in the future." Xingyi interjected and asked after listening to Zhao Jie's words.

"Yi'er, in the future world, it is an unchanging trend that women's status is weaker than that of men." Zhao Jie replied, "But you don't have to worry, I will definitely be good to you, and you don't have to follow the rules of those Confucian scholars at all." ”

"Brother Jie, what are you talking about, I haven't said I want to marry you yet." After listening to Zhao Jie's slightly strong words, as if he would definitely marry her in the future, Xingyi said shyly.

"Ha, ha, ha." Zhao Jie laughed a few times, and then took Xingyi's hand and walked out of Tancheng Yixue,

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Jie and his entourage recovered their mental and physical strength after a night's rest. After replenishing food and water, Zhao Jie and his entourage set out on the road again, passing through dozens of small towns and hundreds of villages along the way. On the way, Zhao Jie and Xingyi traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, and deeply saw the various customs of the south, and they arrived at Zhongwu after 5 days.

Zhong Wu, the ancient name of Suqian City, Jiangsu Province in later generations, was the fief of Viscount Zhong Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the country was called "Zhong Wu Country". During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Chu has always been the overlord of the southern region, so Zhong Wu has always been attached to the State of Chu. King Zhong Wu has been loyal to the state of Chu for generations and is the most loyal ally of the state of Chu, so King Zhong Wu has been able to protect the society. However, in the late Spring and Autumn period, the situation in the south changed, and the Chu state lost in the process of hegemony with the Central Plains countries, and its national strength was greatly weakened. At the same time, the southern state of Wu rose in the Yangtze River valley. In the third year of the reign of King Wu, Wu sent envoys to order Xu and Zhong Wuguo to hand over the traitor son of Wu who was leading the troops outside. Zhong Wuguo and Xu Guo relied on the support of strong Chu, refused to obey their orders, and let the two sons go to Chu without permission. King Chu Zhao was very proud, and sent a large man to greet the two princes ceremoniously, trying to use the two princes to deal with the state of Wu. Zhong Wuguo's situation just gave King Wu the excuse to send troops. So in the winter of this year, King Wu sent Sun Wu and Wu Zixu to attack the crime. Zhong Wuguo was small and poor, vulnerable to a blow, and immediately perished, and Zhong Wu was incorporated into Wu State. Later, Wu went to the Central Plains to fight for hegemony, Wu Wangfu sent out to the Central Plains, Zhongwu became the logistics base of Wu, and hundreds of thousands of Wu land and water armies were stationed in Zhongwu Luoma Lake. In the fourth year of King Yuan of Zhou, the state of Wu declined, and the state of Zhongwu was occupied by the state of Chu.

"Brothers, work hard, we will arrive at Zhongwu soon, and we can rest when we arrive at Zhongwu." Xu Yang shouted loudly on the road, cheering everyone on. After a while, Zhao Jie saw Zhongwu City from a distance, and the three big characters of "Zhongwu City" above the city gate were impressively displayed between heaven and earth. The closer he got to the city, the more smiling people Zhao Jie could see.

Xingyi, who was sitting in the carriage, was puzzled when he saw this, so he got out of the car and found an old man and asked, "Old man, why are you so happy!" ”

The old man stroked his beard and said to Zhao Jie with a smile: "Today, our city lord Xiang is happy to have a noble son, the city lord is kind to the people, and our people are all congratulatory to the city lord and happy for the city lord." ”

When Zhao Jie and his entourage walked into Zhongwu City, Zhongwu City was a lively scene, the people lit incense in front of their homes in order to celebrate the succession of the city lord, and the people in the market were happily performing various programs.

Zhao Jie and his entourage walked to an inn and settled down, and the diligent junior followed closely behind Zhao Jie, seemingly seeing Zhao Jie as a young master with a generous hand.

"Guest, what do you need?" Xiao Er asked earnestly, "As long as the little one can do it, I will do my best." ”

"Xiao Er, if I ask you something, you must give me a truthful answer." Zhao Jie took out the money from his body as he spoke, and continued: "If you answer the truth, the money is yours." ”

"Thank you, Childe." Xiao Er took the money from Zhao Jie's hand, and his face smiled like a blooming flower: "Childe asks at will, you must know everything and say everything." ”

Zhao Jie asked with a smile, "What is the name of your city lord here?" How is he governed? ”

As soon as Xiao Er heard Zhao Jie's words, he suddenly came to his senses, and he replied with great interest: "Speaking of our city lord here, there are many stories about him!" Guest, listen to me slowly. ”

"The city lord is the head of the Xiang family, a new family in my Great Chu State, his name is Hong, five years ago, he was named the county guard of Zhongwu by the king of Chu, so he became the largest official of our position here, and vaguely became the master of Zhongwu."

"When Xiang County guarded and returned to our Zhongwu, bandits were rampant in Zhongwu, and the people were not allowed to live and work in peace and contentment, and the people lived in dire straits. After Xiang Junshou came to Zhongwu, he led the Xiang clan to recruit a group of children from good families to form an army, and after two years, more than 100 bandit gangs were wiped out. Two years ago, they had a final showdown with the largest and strongest bandit gang in the land of Zhongwu, Tianzhai Village. Xiang Junshou showed that the enemy was weak, lured the thief head out of the mountain to besiege Zhong Wu City and go deep into the tiger's den, beheaded the thief, and the Tianzhai fell apart, and Zhong Wu completely settled down. ”

"Xiang Junshou is also a wise person, in the past few years, he has solved several unsolved cases one after another, which is praised by the people of Zhongwu. Among them, the most famous is the case of land ownership, which is the most praised by the people. ”

“…………”

After listening to Xiao Er's words, Zhao Jie waved his hand and signaled Xiao Er to step back, so Xiao Er happily took the money and left Zhao Jie's room, Zhao Jie also lay on the bed, and began to rest and recuperate to continue tomorrow. However, what he didn't expect was that he would have an adventure here, so he had to stay here for three or four days.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In the dark of night, the earth was completely asleep, except for the cold wind howling, except for the occasional barking of a dog or two, and the deserted streets were silent. The cold wind howled through the fields and across the streets, and from time to time one could hear the rustle of the wind blowing the trees. Between heaven and earth, there are no fingers to be seen, as if darkness wants to devour everything.

In such a dark night, more than a dozen figures suddenly appeared on the wall of Zhongwu. More than a dozen figures climbed the wall, taking advantage of the lack of spirit of the soldiers defending the city, the infiltrators first killed the patrolling soldiers, then entered the urn city, quickly killed the soldiers who were sleeping, and finally opened the city gate, and let more than 100 people outside enter the city. The infiltrators did this process smoothly without making a sound, as if they had been fully prepared and planned in advance.

"The brothers listen to the order, and then we will attack the county guard. I order: Wash the county guard in blood, and leave no men, women, and children, no one behind. The leader of the men in black said to the infiltrators who had gathered together. Then more than a hundred men in black rushed towards the county guard's mansion. On this night, more than 300 people were brutally killed in the county guard's mansion, and the entire county guard's mansion was bloody, and the world was overshadowed.

"Zhong Wu Zhi" contains: In the 30th year of King Chu Xiangxiang, a thief sneaked into Zhongwu City late at night and killed more than 300 members of the city lord Xiang Hong's family, and the city lord Hong also died in this battle. Hong, the people of Sushan, the lord of the city is dead, and the people in the city are sad and mournful for him.

Early the next morning, Zhao Jie, as usual, got up early and started running around the inn.

"Brother, help me, save me." When Zhao Jie was running, he suddenly heard a cry for help behind him. Zhao Jie turned around and saw a bloodstained person appear in front of him.

"Brother, last night my master was killed by thieves, this is the only blood left by my master, I desperately hugged the little master to escape from the siege, now my injuries are too serious, my life is dying, I can't protect the little master anymore, please help me raise him, and when he grows up, tell him that he is the son of Zhong Wuxiang County Shou." After speaking, the morale of the bloodied armor was completely dead, and he didn't ask Zhao Jie if he agreed.

Zhao Jie was a little overwhelmed with the baby, and at this moment, a voice of someone talking came from not far away: "Where are people going?" The Lord commanded that no one should be left behind, but that the fleeing man should be found quickly, and that he should be killed quickly, otherwise there would be endless troubles. ”

When Zhao Jie heard this, he hugged the baby and quickly hid in the alley, muttering: "Little guy, you can't cry!" Otherwise, I'm going to be burdened by you. ”
