In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Qi came to the tent as promised to wait, and Zhao Min and Zhao Yun explained that the troops were stationed in place for a day, and then took Shao Qi, Xu Ming and 100 personal guards to leave the camp and go to Zhuangwu with Zhang Qi.

Out of the camp, Zhao Min found that there was goose feather snow in the sky, but fortunately it just started to snow, and it was not long, and there was no snow on the ground, but it did not affect the trip.

Zhuangwu County is a small county with a population of less than 10,000 people, so the highest administrator is called the county magistrate, and the city is less than ten miles away, and Zhang Qi's home is in the county seat. When he came to Zhuangwu City, Zhang Qi invited Zhao Min and his entourage to his house as guests, Zhao Min was concerned about the hermit's matter, so he politely declined, but begged Zhang Qi to arrange someone to lead the way. Zhang Qiyan invited several times, and seeing Zhao Min's resolute attitude, he had no choice but to give up, so he carefully arranged to go to Laoshan's home to lead Zhao Min and others.

Zhuangwu County is less than 30 miles away from the foot of Laoshan Mountain, a horse flat river on the road, originally an hour is enough, but the snow on the road is getting heavier and heavier, the road is muddy, and it is extremely difficult to walk. By the time I saw the outline of Laoshan Mountain, the snow barely reached the instep, and several war horses slipped under their hooves, almost spraining their feet. For the sake of prudence, the crowd had to dismount and walk.

Seeing this, Shao Qi opened his mouth and suggested: "In such weather, it is still inconvenient to walk, not to mention that you need to go into the mountains to find it?" Moreover, the so-called hermit is not a man of fame; It's better for the prince to take shelter from the wind and snow in the county seat for a while, and send people to Laoshan to spread the word, and I will wait in the county seat. ”

Zhao Min pursed his lips in his heart, thinking disapprerovingly, are you in a hurry, I have a task in my body! Can you not be in a hurry? Besides, Liu Huangshu still cares about the thatched house for Brother Pig, what is it to brave a little wind and snow? Then he shook his head and said: "Otherwise, the wind and snow are very heavy, which can reflect our sincerity!" But what you said is also reasonable, the brigade is inconvenient, so the guards will go back to the county seat and wait, only Shao Qi and Xu Ming can go together! ”

Shao Qi still had to be persuaded again, and Zhao Min waved his hand to signal: "There is no need to say much about this matter, so be it!" Shao Qi had no choice but to give up. Immediately, the three of them and the guide set off on light horses with the gifts of the visit, and the personal guards did not mention it when they returned to the county seat.

At three o'clock, the four of them finally came to a valley at the foot of Laoshan Mountain that Zhang Qi said. Laoshan is also called Prison Mountain, close to the Yellow Sea, the sword peak is thousands, the mountain is majestic, it is the first highest mountain on the coastline of Qingzhou. This valley is located in a hidden place at the western foot of Laoshan Mountain, and it is difficult for outsiders to find it unless someone familiar with it comes to lead it. When they entered the valley, the snow was not too deep because of the leeward of the foothills, but they saw that the valley was quiet and quiet, surrounded by streams, and surrounded by trees. There is a grass house by the stream, although it is simple but elegant, a paradise look.

Zhao Min dismounted and personally stepped forward to knock on the door, and heard an inquiry coming from inside: "Who is outside the house?" Zhao Min replied respectfully: "Zhao Min, the fourth son of Emperor Xia Gongde and the king of Beihai, ask Mr. how he is doing!" ”

The door squeaked open, revealing the description of the person who opened the door. I saw that this person was about forty years old, eight feet long, with a handsome face, wearing a scarf on his head, wearing soap, and looking like a master of the world. Zhao Min expected that this person should be the hermit Meng Hou mentioned by Zhang Qi, so he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Student Zhao Min, I have seen Mr." Mr. Jiuwen's name, I came to pay respects! ”

Meng Hou returned the salute: "Hou Benshan and Wild Village, lazy and lazy, deserve a great gift from the prince." ”

After the two finished their salutes, Meng Hou introduced the inner room to sit down, and said: "There is nothing to entertain in the poor mountains and remote areas, and I hope that the king of Beihai will not be blamed!" ”

Before Zhao Min could speak, Shao Qi was a little angry behind him: "Mr. Jiuwen is talented, my prince braved the wind and snow, came from afar, and didn't even have a cup of tea, which is also Mr. Hospitality?" ”

Zhao Min hurriedly scolded: "Ah Fu Xiu is rude!" If we have come to visit without being informed, how can we blame Mr. He turned his head to face Meng Hou again: "Ah Fu is young and ignorant, please don't blame Mr." ”

Meng Hou shook his head gently, and there was no joy or anger on Qingjun's face: "The mountains and fields are vulgar, and it is true that they have never prepared tea, which makes the king of Beihai smile." After saying that, he arched his hand, and said: "I don't know what the prince is doing in the wind and snow?" ”

Zhao Min got up and left his seat to bow again: "Today's imperial court is declining, the chaos is endless, there are eunuchs and eunuchs messing with the government, there are nobles and relatives usurping power outside, the princes everywhere listen to the tune and do not listen to the announcement, and the rebellion of the people everywhere is frequent. Although Min is stubborn, he also has the ambition to serve the country. However, the wisdom is shallow and short, and there is no strategy. Mr. Wen is very talented, I hope to be able to enlighten and teach me! ”

Meng Hou continued to remain silent: "Hou Benshan Yecun man, how dare he be a great talent." Since the king of Beihai said that he has the ambition to serve the country, dare to ask if he knows the source of chaos? ”

Zhao Min was overjoyed when he heard this, this is a test of my knowledge! Fortunately, I was prepared for a long time, and I was thinking about how to answer along the way. What is the biggest advantage of the traverser? Isn't it that you have seen thousands of years more than the ancients? pretended to think about it for a while, and then folded his hands and said solemnly: "Min thinks that the source of the troubled times should be in the wealthy family!" ”

Meng Hou's expression moved, and he twisted his beard with his hand: "I want to hear it in detail."

"The Xia Dynasty has been established for more than 300 years, and there have been many rebellions among relatives and eunuchs. Due to the adoption of the system of inspection and promotion in Daxia, talents from all over the country were controlled by the family, resulting in the court decrees being the words of the family. In order to fight against the family ****, the emperors of the past dynasties had to reuse the people around them, or eunuchs, or relatives, all of whom had no choice but to choose. However, once the eunuchs' relatives gain power, they will not be willing to lie in wait, and try every means to usurp power and disrupt the government, and the source of this disaster is also! ”

Meng Hou's eyes seemed to have a gleam flashing: "I don't know what to do?" ”

"After thinking for a long time, only by changing the way of taking scholars, opening up the way of speech, revitalizing the way of sages, and curbing the rights of the great clans, can we put things right." Zhao Min took a breath and continued: "Min is thinking about two strategies. One is called the imperial examination, which is opened by the imperial court, and it is compared every few years, and the scholars are selected by discipline; The world's scholars take the written test to participate in the department, whether they are from a family or a poor family can refer to, or scriptures, or mathematics and science, and so on, so that the family has no way to curb talents, and the world's talents are all in the court! The second is called the division system, which divides the county guard system into two, the county guards the administrative affairs, the military and the military are separated, and they are not subordinate to each other; Then the court will send officials to supervise the place, so that the princes either have the right to have no soldiers, or have soldiers without food, so the chaos is self-pacified! ”

After hearing this, Meng Hou's face changed slightly, and he only closed his eyes and stroked his beard in contemplation. Liang Jiufang spoke: "Dare to ask the ambition of the King of the North Sea?" ”

"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations!"

Zhao Min did not hesitate to plagiarize the famous words of Mr. Zhang of the Northern Song Dynasty, and he was not ashamed. Travelers! Don't plagiarize worthy of the title of traverser? Poetry is not popular in this era, and the inventory in Zhao Min's stomach is useless. But Zhang Zai's four sentences can be described as deafening and beautiful! What is even more commendable is that this passage has a wide range of applications, and it can be called universal!

Sure enough, Meng Hou's face changed when he heard this, and he was obviously a little excited, and his beard was trembling. After a long pause before he spoke, he bowed before speaking: "The master said, 'Threesome, there must be my teacher', listening to the words of the King of Beihai is better than ten years of hard study, Hou has been taught!" ”

Zhao Min hurriedly bowed to him: "The kid is lazy, although he occasionally has gains, but he is just a fool, but he has ideas, but he has no wisdom to implement." Mr. is highly talented, and Mr. Wang thinks of the common people in the world, does not abandon the foolishness of Min, and goes out of the mountain to help. Min should be a teacher and a gentleman, and ask for advice from time to time around him, and I hope that Mr. will be allowed! ”

Meng Hou's eyes were full of light, and he immediately closed his eyes in contemplation, and when he opened his eyes, he had already made up his mind. "That's it! Let the old man also talk about juvenile madness, and follow you to 'establish your heart for heaven and earth, establish your life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations'! ”

Zhao Min is ecstatic! Not only joyful but also quite accomplished, because Meng Hou was the first person he really accepted after coming to this era, for him, this is called "epoch-making significance"!

Zhao Min shook his head to the ground: "Thank you, Mr. Gaoyi, Min Minggan is five!" At the same time, Mei Zizi looked at the attributes of Meng Hou who had just appeared in front of her:
