Wu Zixu walked out of the palace gate and sighed: "Husband! Husband! He said you should regret it! ”

Bo Yao walked out of the palace gate with a smile, looked at Wu Zixu's back, and said with a smile: "Why is Xiangguo like this!" Bo Yao thinks that Xiangguo is too worried! ”

"Humph!" When Wu Zixu heard this, he turned around and pointed at Bo Yao and scolded: "The king favors you and waits for the annihilation, and Wu Guo is said to be ruined, and half of it will definitely die at your hands!" ”

"Xiangguo is cautious!" When Bo Yao heard this, a smile appeared on his fat face, and he said coldly: "What does Xiangguo mean by this?" Although Bo Yao is not talented, he is also the Dazai of Wu State, thanks to the king's affordability! Doctor! Please be cautious! ”

Wu Zixu felt that he was too impulsive, although he didn't think that what he said was wrong, but some words were one thing in his heart, and it was another thing to say them. Now he only needs Wu Zixu to apologize to Bo Yao to minimize his mistakes, but Wu Zixu is obviously not willing to do this, of course, Wu Zixu will not be stupid enough to stimulate Bo Ya, he snorted coldly: "Hmph! Be careful!? ”

After Wu Zixu replied vaguely, he immediately turned around and left.

Bo Yao looked at Wu Zixu's back with an angry face, but when he saw Wu Zixu get into the carriage and leave, the anger on his face was like ushering in the snow of spring, and it melted into seven, seven, eight, and eight at once. Bo Ya turned and walked over to the eight guards guarding the palace gate.

The guards immediately bowed slightly to Bo Ya, and Bo Yao hurriedly said, "Don't! So gracious! ”

The guards still saluted, and a low-ranking general greeted him and asked with a straight face, "I don't know what happened to the doctor?" ”

Bo Yao said with a smile: "The matter of the palace gate just now, I think the king must be very interested!" ”

As he spoke, his hand seemed to inadvertently take out a money bag from his sleeve robe, and as soon as his hand was released, the money bag fell to the ground, making a crisp metal crashing sound. Everyone, including the low-level general, couldn't help but be attracted to the past, and from the general's vision, they could clearly see the golden light refracted from the mouth of the bag.

The general's face immediately showed a little smile, and he said, "Well, what the doctor said is very true! ”

Bo Yao nodded with a smile, didn't say anything, turned around and left, everything was silent.

The guards inadvertently told the husband about the situation in front of the palace gate, and the husband didn't say anything after hearing it, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. But it wasn't a happy smile, but a cold smile, and a murderous look flashed in the depths of his eyes. Wu Zixu didn't know what he said today, since he let his husband kill him.

………… After a month's long journey, Confucius and his more than 1,300 disciples finally arrived on the north bank of Zhejiang. However, because of the lack of ships, Confucius was only one step ahead of his outstanding disciples, and most of them remained on the north bank, and it may take two or three days to fully cross the river. On the other side, no one knew that Yang Zilu, who was the king of a country, was waiting quietly.

Until Confucius heard the gull open the territory saluted, he said respectfully: "The minister Gull has opened the territory, and I have seen the lord!" ”

At this time, Confucius knew that Yang Zilu actually came to the border in person and waited for him to arrive, even if Confucius was a great sage who was accustomed to seeing the world, he couldn't help but be a little flattered. Confucius hurriedly saluted Yang Zilu and said, "Lu Guo Kongqiu has seen the king!" ”

(Note: Confucius's real name is Confucius, Confucius is an honorific title, and Zhongni is a character.) "You're welcome, sir! Before Confucius bowed down, Yang Zilu had already stepped forward with an arrow to support Confucius, and at the same time couldn't help but look at Confucius.

Confucius is not like the bronze statue of Confucius erected by Yang Zilu at the entrance of the school in the 21st century, the bronze statue of Confucius looks like a fairy, with a thin body, carrying his hands on his back, and is full of a kind of heroic righteousness standing proudly between heaven and earth.

And now Yang Zilu sees Confucius is very different from the bronze statue, although the current Confucius is sixty-five years old, but the figure is still very tall, Yang Zilu is estimated to be about 1.9 meters. With a broad skeleton and a strong body, and a dark complexion, he feels like a samurai rather than a sage.

But Confucius's appearance is quite kind, which gives people a rather strange feeling. It's like it's obviously a tiger, but it turns out that it's like a kitten, which is quite awkward.

However, Yang Zilu's city government has also been refined, although he mutters in his heart that this guy can't be a fake Confucius, right? But the look on his face did not change. But after chatting a few words, Yang Zilu no longer doubted that although Confucius didn't dare to say that he was completely right, most of them were right, and the truth in his words made people think deeply.

Although Yang Zilu was still dissatisfied with Confucian academic ideas, he already had a lot of good feelings towards Confucius. said to Confucius: "Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years!" Please go into the city with the widow! ”

Confucius happily agreed: "Your Excellency is polite! ”

said that it was the same car, but in fact, it was Confucius and Yang Zilu, and Yang Zilu personally drove for Confucius. Along the way, everyone was amazed. Wen Chong came up many times and said that he would let him drive. However, Yang Zilu categorically refused, and even Confucius couldn't help but persuade Yang Zilu with some sincere fear.

Who is Yang Zilu! When this time of buying people's hearts, then it is possible to be persuaded by others? Confucius was so moved that he was in a mess.

After Confucius got out of the car, he sighed to Yang Zilu: "The courtesy of the king, Corporal Xian, really makes Zhong Ni deserve it!" ”

When Yang Zilu heard this, he said sincerely: "Mr. Daxian, the Han Kingdom is a small and widowed country, and he can't offer 60,000 stone millets like Wei Jun, and he can't let Mr. be as powerful as Chu Jun!" The only thing the widow can do is to treat Mr. sincerely, hoping that he can stay in Han for even a moment longer! ”

When Confucius heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's been six years since Zhong Ni left the Lu Kingdom!" I have been to Cao, Wei, Song, Zheng, Song, Chen, Wu, and Chu. Although they were respectful to me, they treated me like ghosts and gods, and they stayed away! (While respecting him, don't get close to him.) ）”

Yang Zilu heard that there were joys and sorrows, didn't Confucius's words imply that he intended to settle in the Han Kingdom?

Yang Zilu was very disgusted with the Confucian policy of fooling the people, and Yang Zilu did not like Confucius's heavy courtesy. Yang Zilu could only divert the topic and invite Confucius to enter Yang Zilu's mansion to wash the dust.

In addition to Yang Zilu and Confucius, there were also eight disciples of Confucius and officials at the level of Han doctors, so the number was not large, and there were only about a dozen people in total, sitting in two seats, with Han doctors on the left and Confucius disciples on the right.

In order to win over Confucius, Yang Zilu asked Confucius to sit on the main seat with him, and Confucius repeatedly pushed and pushed, but under Yang Zilu's enthusiasm, he finally agreed. But in order to show respect for Yang Zilu, Confucius sat on the right side, and very close to the corner of the table, to show his humility.

Just after the banquet, Yang Zilu and Confucius chatted for a while, couldn't help the curiosity in their hearts, and said to Confucius: "Sir, don't you introduce the disciples?" ”

Confucius smiled when he heard this: "It's just a stubborn little apprentice, since the king is curious, Zhong Ni will talk about it." ”

After Confucius finished speaking, he pointed to the middle-aged man who was sitting first on the right and said, "Yan Hui Ziyuan!" Among Zhong Ni's many disciples, Ziyuan is loyal, quick-witted, and knows ten when he hears it! ”

Although Confucius's evaluation was short, he couldn't hide his appreciation when he looked at Yan Hui. Yang Zilu knew at a glance that this person was probably the heir to the mantle in Confucius's mind.

Although Yang Zilu didn't know how powerful this Yan Hui was, since Confucius liked him, Yang Zilu naturally praised him more. Yang Zilu said: "Mr. Ziyuan, he is said to be the great sage of the world!" ”

When Confucius heard this, he immediately smiled happily and stroked his beard and said, "Your Excellency is polite!" The second place is Duanmu Ci, the word tribute! ”

Yang Zilu doesn't know Yan Hui, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't know Zigong! That is a figure with iron teeth and bronze teeth, last year Wu Guo bullied the weak and asked Lu Guo to pay a lot of tribute to Wu Guo. Zigong stepped out and left Bo Yao speechless, and had to withdraw Wu's unreasonable demands.

Yang Zilu's face immediately turned grim, and he admired from the bottom of his heart: "But last year, with his three-inch tongue, I said that Mr. Zigong of Wu Jun was gone!" ”

"Exactly! But the king is too complimentary, Zigong is just reasoning! Confucius said disapprehantly, but the smear color that flashed across his face betrayed his true thoughts.

Yang Zilu smiled disappreciatively, glanced at the maid beside her, and said, "Go and get a new wine bottle for the widow!" ”

"Yes! Lord! The maid replied in a coquettish voice.

Taking advantage of this gap, Yang Zilu asked Confucius: "Sir, I heard that Zigong seems to be in the Lu Kingdom, why is he by Mr.'s side now?" ”

When Confucius heard this, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes and said: "Sanhuan is misleading the country, although Zhong Ni is incompetent and cannot get rid of the thief, but the disciples under his command cannot help the abuse!" ”

Yang Zilu understood as soon as he heard it, Zigong was working for the Ji family, the head of the Three Huans, in the Lu State, and Confucius naturally didn't like it, and it is estimated that a letter passed later. Zigong was so frightened that he ran to Weiguo and begged Confucius for mercy. In order to prevent Zigong from having no 'discipline' of his own, Confucius ran to help him abuse, so he took it with him.

When Yang Zilu heard this, she couldn't help but smile slightly. secretly said in his heart: It is really a brine and tofu, and one thing drops one thing. In front of tens of thousands of Wu soldiers, he still unyieldingly said that De Bo Yao withdrew the unreasonable Zigong, but in front of Confucius, it was as if he had met a kitten and a mouse. Confucius, who was almost thousands of miles away, packed up Zigong with just a letter.

When Yang Zilu and Confucius were talking, the maid had already brought a three-legged bronze wine bottle, Yang Zilu picked up the wine jug, poured the wine himself, and raised a glass to Zigong and said: "This wine should be honored by the unyielding countryman!" ”

When the maid heard this, she immediately took the wine bottle and brought it to the low table in front of Zigong with both hands.
