PS: Chapter 2 is presented

"Weak countries have no diplomacy", that is what Wuxian mentioned to Zigong before, Zhang Mengtan felt that it was summed up incisively, so he firmly remembered it.

Whether in the Spring and Autumn Period or in later generations, diplomacy between countries is nothing more than putting the armor on the battlefield on the table to compete, and whoever has the biggest fist has the right to speak.

If Lu is too weak this time, this diplomatic battle will spit out the land and interests that it had eaten in its stomach before.

But is Confucius, the great uncle who presided over this peace talks, a weak man?

When the thieves besieged the city, he dared to stand at the head of the city and debate with the thieves in armor and bows and arrows.

He dared to ride into rebel-occupied Philadelphia and persuaded Gongshan to give up resistance.

He dared to disobey the Ji clan and let the unpopular ancestor Lu Zhaogong return to his place......

In history, he also dared to use his old body to ask for a crusade against the Chen family who killed the monarch, which frightened the cowardly monarchs and ministers of the Lu State.

As far as Zhao Wuxian himself saw and heard, Confucianism in this era was not cowardly, but a pillar of Zou Lu. The Warring States had Meng Ke mighty and unyielding, and Lu Zhong was not Emperor Qin, and later Liu Bang swept the world, and the counties surrendered one after another, but only the Confucian scholars of Lu Di stiffened their necks and took Xiang Yu as orthodox and confronted the Han family.

What's more, if Zhao Wuxian is not mistaken, Confucius's famous work on the original historical line is the Jiagu Alliance.

Zhang Mengtan saw that Zhao Wuxian had clearly seen the stakes of the whole matter and the countermeasures, so he rolled his sleeves and said with a smile: "Just now, the messenger sent by the Great Sect Uncle has arrived, Si Kou guess who it is?" ”

"Is it Yan Hui? Or is it a sub-road? ”

"It's Yan Hui, Yan Ziyuan!"

Zhao Wuxian's mind. The eyebrows are straight and the eyes are broad, and the expression is simple and amiable. Although his body is worn and dusty, it makes people feel that he is from body to heart. The figure of the incomparably clean young man suddenly appeared.

"I'll go out to him."

Zhao Wuxian tidied up his clothes, got up and asked people to change his clothes, and said to Zhang Mengtan: "Yan Hui has no duty, no title, just a poor man who works in the name of the Zongbo Bureau, and if he is replaced by someone else, he may feel that sending him here is a kind of contempt and humiliation for me, but I understand that Confucius asked the eldest disciple who entered the room to come in person. That's not a low salary. ”

Zhang Mengtan said: "However, I haven't seen him before, and he has already been famous, and when I see the real face today, I know that there are such characters in the world. ”

There are not many people in this world who can be called a national scholar, but among the disciples of Confucius, Zilu is alone. Zigong is one person, and Yan Hui is another person. Ran Qiu, Fan Xu and others are not talented, so they can only be counted as half, and it depends on how they develop in the future.

Ten philosophies of Confucius. There was no idle person.

Zhang Mengtan shook his head helplessly and said: "But this person is sincere and unintentional, and he said his intention in a few words. ”

Wuxian stopped his movements: "Didn't you invite me to Jiagu?" ”

"Exactly! I wonder if Si Kou will go? ”

"Of course I want to go!"

Zhao Wuxian's spirit, which was a little sluggish because of a minor illness, was suddenly swept away, and he put aside the cicada clothes he was wearing and turned around. The graceful deep-clothed court clothes are on the body, and the Xuanduan is topped. Le's "Jade of No Greed" hangs on a cowhide belt.

"Qi Hou wants to provoke Sanhuan to fight with me, and Sanhuan wants to weaken me with the help of Qi Hou. Why didn't Lu Hou and Confucius want to see us and other snipes fighting each other so as to strengthen the monarchy...... However, weak countries have no diplomacy, and if they don't want to lose too much in the interests of Lu in this peace talks, they need a powerful boost......"

His momentum suddenly became incomparable.

If you want to ask who has the hardest fist in the Lu country, who can make the people of the Qi country fearful......

"Who else is me!"

……

At the end of May on the border of Qilu, the millet seedlings in the fields emerged in the middle of summer, the hibiscus bloomed pale red flowers, and the deer running in the mountains began to shed their horns.

Zhao Wuxian stood on the car, took the antlers that Yu Xi picked up in the forest to show off his riding skills, and said to the elders in the same car: "I have two white deer, one big and one small, the big deer is the male, and the small deer is the female, and it is time for the season of falling horns." ”

The elder had a broad forehead, a deep coat with wide sleeves, and a smile appeared in his tendrils: "The first time I heard the name of Zitai, it was precisely when I hunted deer in winter, and Zigong was still doing business among Jin and Wei, but if there was any strange thing, it would be written down in short words and sent to Qufu." If there would be paper, these stories about Zitai would be even more exciting. ”

The old man who was in the same car with Zhao Wuxian was Confucius.

The princes will be allied, and when the two monarchs meet, they must have an assistant who is skilled in etiquette called "Xiangli", and Lu Hou decided to let the great uncle Confucius take on this role. After responding to Yan Hui's invitation, Zhao Wuxian also traveled east with him, and arrived at the Qilu border at the end of May to greet Lu Hou and his party.

Seeing that Zhao Wuxian came in response to the call, he also gave Lu Hou a lot of courtesy, which made Lu Hou surprised, and Confucius felt a lot more relieved. Only Sanhuan asserted that Zhao Wuxian would definitely refuse to reconcile with Qi, and at the same time, the prophecy of refusing to come came came to fruition, and his face was a little unsightly.

However, there is only one thing, Zhao Wuxian seems to have too many soldiers, and there are half a division!

When Uncle Sun Zhouqiu of the Great Sima asked Zhao Wuxian with some trepidation what he intended to bring so many people, Zhao Wuxian replied with a clear conscience: "The ministers heard that if there is a civil matter, there must be military equipment, and if there is a military matter, there must be a literary preparation. In ancient times, when the princes crossed their own borders, they must have accompanied civil and military officials as their retinue. Now although the Qi people are asked to be peaceful, but I don't know what their sincerity is, please equip the left and right Sima in case of accidents, and the ministers are willing to recommend, and they must ensure that the Qi people do not dare to insult the Lu country. ”

Lu Hou looked at Confucius, and saw that he also nodded slightly, so he agreed to the matter, and equipped the left and right Sima for the peace talks, the left Sima was Ran Qiu recommended by Zhao Wuxian, and the right Sima was the Zilu recommended by Confucius.

The left and right Sima were both disciples of Confucius, which made him feel a lot more relieved, and his suspicion of Zhao Wuxian was also reduced a little. After all, the two were old friends, and Zhao Xiaosikou also solved the employment problems of many of his disciples. The relationship has been a bit stiff due to many changes in the past year, and there have been serious incidents in which Zai Yu advocated the rule of the Zhao family and belittled the Fu Zhou ceremony, and Zhao Wuxian and Confucius even argued at the meeting in Liqiu.

I hope that this peace talks can resolve Qilu's grievances, and perhaps the two can reconcile as before.

So Confucius invited Zhao Wuxian to go to the agreed venue with him in front of the car dealership and Luhou's frame, and Wuxian saw the details of Confucius's integration of etiquette into daily life: when he got on the bus, he must first stand upright, and then pull the handrail to bring it to the car. In the car, don't look back, don't speak loudly, even if you see what you see on the road, don't use your fingers to point.

So when talking to Zhao Wuxian, Confucius didn't cross the line, just looked straight ahead, looked at the deer running in the forest, clapped his hands and sang:

"Yo Yo Lu Ming, eat the wild Qin. I have guests, drums and pianos.

The drums and drums are harmonious and harmonious.

I have a purpose to drink, with the heart of Yanle guests. ”

Closed eyes without shirt to appreciate, this song melodious and high-pitched, without losing the sense of beauty, in the bamboo forest outside the central capital, once beat the drum and drum qin, Zilu, Ran Qiu, Gongxi Chi sitting, the scene of the sages saying their own aspirations seems to be reproduced.

However, in the Spring and Autumn Period, people wrote poems not to give new words to say sorrow, but to be able to hear the meaning contained in words, words, and things, which is the most basic ability of being a nobleman, so there is a saying that "if you don't learn poetry, you can't speak".

Zhao Wuxian heard that Confucius was borrowing poetry as a metaphor, and sincerely hoped that the Qilu peace talks could be successfully completed.

Since the two are in the same car, Confucius is the left side of the car, and Zhao Wuxian is on the right side of the car as a junior, and at this time he is playing with the antlers in his hand and smiled slightly: "The deer is a good deer, the Qin is a tender qin, the drummers and pianos are all excellent Lu Gong musicians, and the wine is also fragrant and mellow, but Master, only this knock on the door, I'm afraid it's not a good guest!" ”

……

The singing stopped, and Confucius was silent.

Half a month ago, he sent musicians to overhaul the drums, adjust the piano and pipe, hold the dry Qi Geyu, reconcile the rods and shengs, and rectify the Zhongxin Zhu. He also ordered the relevant officials to worship the famous mountains and rivers and the sources of various rivers in the territory of the Lu State, and to worship the former monarchs and ministers who had contributed to the people.

Confucius worked hard for this peace negotiation, and the state of Lu really needed peace.

But once there is peace, it will inevitably damage the interests of Zhao Wuxian and the Zhao clan behind him.

It's a dead knot that can't be untied.

Since their respective positions are very different, I am afraid that there are some things that will be difficult to restore to the original......

After a while, he stroked his tendrils, looked at Zhao Wuxian and said with a smile: "Even if Qi people are evil guests, but the use of etiquette and harmony is precious, and I hope that Xiao Sikou can be considerate." ”

Confucius only hoped that Zhao Wuxian could take a step back, forge a sword into a plow, and become a plow, he was so young, so young that people envied, just like a millet pole that sprouts in mid-summer, and a young deer that falls in May. Why is it bad to stop the war and start by managing the territory in your hand? It is not impossible to become the secretary of Lu State in a few decades.

Zhao Wuxian also did not argue with Confucius in the car, because Confucius had a temper like a cow and was docile on weekdays, but if he was determined, he would not hit the south wall and would not give up.

He also kept thinking about what Zhang Mengtan said when he was leaving.

"Si Kou think about it, Qilu has been at war for two hundred years, and there have been countless peace talks during this period, which time has there been no problem?"

Lu Huan Gong personally went to the Qi National League, because of the incident between his wife Wen Jiang and his eldest brother Qi Xianggong**, he was murdered by the fornicating Qi Xianggong.

Qi Xianggong died, and Lu Guo had the opportunity to send Gongzi to return to China to succeed to the throne and restore the relationship between the two countries, but who expected Gongzi Xiaobai to take the lead and pretend to be Qi Huangong.

Duke Qi Huan hated Lu to help his brother return to the country, and repeatedly attacked and seized a lot of land in Lu. The state of Lu sued for peace, and Duke Huan of Qi agreed to meet with Duke Lu Zhuang in Kedi and make an alliance, but Cao Mo, a warrior of the state of Lu, robbed the alliance with a dagger in his hand, and claimed all the lost land, making a bad start for the prevalence of assassins in the world......

Zhao Wuxian thought about it, this is really true, there were too many moths during the Qilu Peace Conference.

Now that the sincerity of the Qi State is insufficient, Qi Chen is bent on finding the field of successive defeats for the lord, and there is no important minister with enough wisdom to preside over the overall situation. On the side of the Lu State, the three huans have their own thoughts, and Confucius is bent on letting Lu Hou regain the right to diplomacy, coupled with the intervention of Zhao Wuxian, the explosive barrel between Qi and Lu, there will be too many accidents in the entire Jiagu meeting.

The two of them had their own thoughts, and after being silent for a while, Zhao Wuxian suddenly pointed to the opposite valley and said, "The valley has arrived!" (To be continued.) )
