The Luhou palace is in the southwest corner of Lucheng, accounting for about a quarter of the inner city, and there is a piece of high ground in the center, which is the location of the palace area and the Taimiao. The important buildings such as the "Gonggong" are arranged in a straight line, roughly symmetrical, forming a central axis composed of the most important buildings in the city of Lu, which is consistent with the planning of the capital of the Zongzhou and Zhou dynasties recorded in the "Craftsman Camp Country".

"The etiquette and music collapsed, and the state of Lu, where the doctor and the courtiers were in charge of the country, still maintained the dignity of the country of the Duke of Zhou only in terms of architectural pattern."

Zhao Wuxian sighed secretly and looked up, but saw that the palace was mixed with bricks and wood, carved beams and painted buildings, extremely luxurious, gluttonous patterns and cloud and thunder patterns of tiles densely occupied the sky, and a few wild geese flew over the exposed half of the blue sky.

Under the high platform of the palace, Zhao Wuxian wore a court robe with a high crown and a wide robe, and followed Liu Xiaji, the master of ceremonies who was responsible for receiving him.

Liu Xiaji, who leads the way in front, is more than eight feet tall, and his appearance is beautiful, his face is like a crown of jade, his chin is a flowing long beard, he is well-dressed, his demeanor is graceful and dignified, and he is a beautiful man even if he is released to the next generation, it is said that every time he travels, he will cause the women in the streets and alleys of Qufu to look sideways.

Before coming to Qufu, Zhao Wuxian always thought that this person was Liu Xia Hui who was "sitting still", but when he asked, he realized that this was not the case.

"It turned out that it was the ancestor of the Liuxia clan, when Lu Xigong was a hundred years ago, although he was the same Jizi and named after Ji, he was not a person, fortunately he had prepared in advance, otherwise he would have made a big joke about rudeness."

Through the observation of Zhao Wuxian, it was found that although the small state of Lu was very dislocated, it was particularly fond of using the etiquette that he was good at to deal with others. When Lu Xianggong visited Chu State, he was detained by the Chu people, and forced Xianggong to perform the courtier's ceremony for the newly dead King Chu Kang and change the clothes of the dead for him. The Lu people are the ancestors of etiquette in this era, and after a discussion, they took advantage of this advantage to put the Chu people together, and used the etiquette of the king as the minister to run for the funeral to maintain their dignity at the funeral, but the Chu people were still stupid and ignorant.

Therefore, Zhao Wuxian is also careful everywhere when he enters Qufu this time, otherwise he may really be plotted by the cautious Lu people, although there is no substantial damage, but it is disgusting enough.

However, Liu next season has a very kind attitude towards Wuxi. He patiently explained his family origins: "My family was originally the Duke of Lu, and in the eighth year of the Hidden Prince, the ancestor Gongzi Wuxiao died, and his son Sun Yu's father asked for a nickname and clan name for him. The Hidden Princesses ask Zhong about the clan. Zhong Zhong replied that the Son of Heaven Jiande was born with a surname, and he was destined for the land. The princes and doctors used the word as their nickname, and his descendants took this as the clan. The first generation was an official, and the generation has merit. You can use the official name as the clan, and there are also those with the fiefdom as the clan. ”

"So the Duke of Yin ordered to use the word 'Zhan' of the ancestor Gongzi Wuxiao as our clan name, and there was Zhan's, and as for changing it to Liuxia, it was a long time later."

Yanagishita Hui's real name was exhibited, because he was a Jizi and could not inherit the large sect, so he became independent and took the residence of Yanagi Yi as the name of the clan, and the Yanagixia clan was formed.

"I see...... Teachable without mercy. ”

Although Yanagi next season is not the famous Yanagishita Megumi. But he is also quite famous in the country of Lu, as the chief master of ceremonies, although he does not have much real power, he should not be underestimated. Zhao Wuxian also knew that this person was friends with Confucius, and the two praised each other on different occasions.

Speaking of this, Liu Xiaji turned his head and saluted Zhao Wuxian: "I heard that Zitai was robbed in the north of Onoze, and he exterminated this subordinate with fewer blows and more and saved Confucius's disciples, but is there such a thing?" ”

"It's true, the bandits near Daze are really getting more and more rampant. After returning home, I'm afraid I will have to recruit people to train and prepare for it. ”

Now Lu Guo seems to be quite calm, but Wuxian, who knows the inside story, knows that Yang Hu and Sanhuan are about to fight, and it will break out at the turn of October at the latest. After meeting Lu Hou, he will rush back to Fengyi. Begin the Autumn Harvest, the Restoration, and the conscription in preparation for the coming big war.

Preparing for the army was the best excuse for Zhao Wuxian to prepare for the expansion of the army.

However, Liu Xiaji was ashamed, and bowed to Zhao Wuxian and said: "The family is unfortunate, and I am really ashamed of Zitai." ”

Zhao Wuxian was a little strange: "To put it mildly, this matter was done by a group of thieves who had no father. To put it mildly, it is also the result of Dr. Yuncheng's poor relief, why should Dr. Yanagi apologize for the robbers? ”

Liu Xiaji glanced up at him: "Zitai doesn't know yet?" The leader of the group of thieves in Onozawa is my brother-in-law! ”

Curiosity suddenly rose, although the Liuxia clan is not huge, it is much inferior to Sanhuan, but it is also a family of princes, how can their heirs become robbers? Besides, since Liu Xia Ji is the youngest Ji Zi of the youngest family, why does he have a younger brother who is the leader of the robbers?

The two of them were willing to say and listen, so their steps slowed down, and the vertical temple waiting in front of them wanted to urge but did not dare to urge.

After Liu Xiaji's narration, Zhao Wuxian learned that the original name of the thief was Liu Xiaji, and he was the son of Liu Xiaji's father who was born to the daughter of the savage, so he didn't even have the rank of Uncle Ji.

"He first ate Cang'er with his savage mother in Dayozawa, fished and hunted birds, and was sent to Qufu to recognize his father after he was ten years old, and he was suddenly a fisherboy when he first met."

Hearing this, Zhao Wuxian secretly thought: "The experience of stealing feet is somewhat similar to Ling Yin Ziwen of King Wen of Chu, as well as the vertical ox of the uncle of the Lu State, these two are the sons of the nobles who were born together in the field, but one has become the famous minister of the Chu State, and the other is the traitorous retainer of the troubled Uncle Sun clan......"

Thinking of this, Zhao Wuxian has relatives, in fact, he can be regarded as a person with a similar background.

"My father treated Liu Xia and his feet well, and he looked for a famous teacher to teach him the six arts of a gentleman, and also let him learn to lead the army with his family Sima. Who knew that he was still wild, and because of the conflict with the Ji family a few years ago, he turned out of the Lu country and went to Dayozawa to be a robber! If it was annihilated, it would be fine, but who would have thought that someone would make such a big battle! ”

After that, the thieves roamed the field for several years, from the princes to the doctors of the Lingyi had a headache, and Cao, Lu, Song, and Wei all sent troops to suppress them, but they returned in vain. He can be regarded as the forerunner of the "peasant uprising" in ancient China, and even left his name for future generations, so that Zhao Wuxian remembered his deeds.

Although the thief doesn't have much intersection with Zhao Wuxian now, he will only block the way to and from him, but as long as Wuxian stretches out his hand to Gao Yu and Yuncheng, he will inevitably conflict with the thief, with this kind of thought, he asked Liu Xia Ji a lot of related things.

After explaining the situation, Liu Xiaji once again apologized to Zhao Wuxian for his younger brother:

"It stands to reason. A father will be able to admonish his children, and an elder brother will be able to educate his younger brother, but if his children do not obey their father's admonition, the brother will not be educated by his brother. Even if you can argue like Ji, what can you do about it? ”

"And my brother's personality is like a gushing spring, and the change of feelings is like a sudden storm, and he is brave and strong enough to resist the enemy. Clever words are enough to cover up mistakes, and he is happy when he obeys his will, and he loses his temper when he goes against his will, and is prone to verbal insults. After he betrayed the state of Lu, I also tried to persuade him, but it was useless, and he cut off relations with me, threatening that if he lobbied again, he would make my heart and liver into a meal......"

Liu Xiaji still seems to have some feelings for this young brother, and his face is very close when he talks about it.

"Maybe he's using this way to avoid the doctor." Zhao Wuxian comforted.

"Why did Zitai say that?"

"If it weren't for the reputation of the six relatives who didn't recognize the thief and let Yang Hu and Sanhuan know, would the doctor still be the current master of ceremonies?"

Willow next season suddenly. Standing in place, he only felt that what Zhao Wuxian said was very likely. After a while, he realized that he was a little out of shape, so he coughed lightly and said, "If it is really as Zitai said, I underestimate the mind of my younger brother." ”

Speaking of which, the two of them had already arrived outside the main hall, Liu Xiaji had the duty of leading, and Zhao Wuxian also had the duty of audience, so they all stopped talking, tidied up their clothes, and entered solemnly.

The main hall is twenty zhang long. Fifteen zhang wide, the smooth wooden slats are somewhat cold, and there are corridors all around, and the curtains are hung all over it. On the wooden shelves on both sides of the main hall hang large chimes in groups of eight, and at the end are a series of high platforms.

Under Liu Xiaji's chanting in Yayin, Wuxian looked up after bowing, and here, he met the nominal supreme ruler of the Lu State, Lu Hou Song.

Lu Hou is nearly fifty years old. He was dignified in appearance, dressed in a black gown with nine chapters, and a long crown, and his hair was still dark, but his beard was slightly white.

This audience seems to be a play, Zhao Wuxian has already seen Yang Hu, the actual ruler of Lu State, and Sanhuan, who has a little residual prestige, but Lu Hou is the last in line.

Thinking of the current strange pattern of the Lu Kingdom, he was a little happy: "This Lu Hou is also unlucky, he was originally set up as a puppet by the Ji family, and then although Sanhuan was weak, Yang Hu abused his power and forced him to swear a blood oath. There are a total of four Taishang monarchs on the head, one is more domineering than the other, and one is stronger than the other, which is really enough. ”

Now the news that Zhao Wuxian and Yang Hu turned their faces on the eve has spread all over Lucheng, and Liu Xiaji, who has a heart for the public family, is naturally also the enemy of Yang Hu, and just now he was able to talk to Zhao Wuxian frankly about the ugly thief, also because he regarded him as a "comrade". He also whispered to Zhao Wuxian that there was Yang Hu's eyeliner watching in the main hall, so the monarch and ministers could not overstep it.

Lu Hou also cooperated very well, reciting the old-fashioned question-and-answer rhetoric one by one, and Zhao Wuxian responded one by one, carrying out this audience in a bland manner.

Zhao Wuxian has seen several monarchs now, so it is inevitable to compare them together. Jin Houwu's playfulness and cleverness, Cao Boyang's love of hunting and embarrassing finances, and Song Gongluan's benevolence and pampered daughter......

Thinking of this, Zhao Wuxian suddenly flashed a purple-clothed figure in front of him, the ambiguity in the Huangtang of the Song Palace that night, and the softness that wrapped around his arm**, the little demon girl Nanzi smiled like a silver bell accompanied by Huan Peiyu's voice.

"It's been three months since I left the Song Kingdom, and at that time, I said that I was trying to get out, half true and half false, and I don't know how this lord is doing now?"

However, compared to Nanzi, who has no affection, Zhao Wuxian misses the second daughter who is far away in the Jin Kingdom, and Le Lingzi, who is still guarding the mourning hall.

Zhao Wuxian also suddenly realized that in this life, his age of blood and strength has probably arrived.
