Chapter 538: Mountaintop Meeting
Embroidered tassels, belts and high crowns, dozens of students with such a look are walking in the mountains, and the general family children who travel the mountains and rivers are different, these students are carrying a considerable amount of books, but they are not the dress of the study tour.
The costumes left over from the Great Qin Empire, except for some subtleties, have not changed much after hundreds of years. Advocating black seems to be the usual aesthetic of the Qin people. Therefore, on the sheep intestine trail in the mountains, the students on the mountain road are like a black snake that winds like a snake.
The student who walked the mountain road was a bachelor of Lishan of the Qin State who was known as "the armor hidden in the chest here, and the mountains and rivers in the abdomen here".
In fact, the Qin people themselves prefer to call it the Great Qin Bachelor. Lishan Bachelor is just to distinguish the students who are more close to him.
Since the founding of the Qin State, in addition to being suppressed at the beginning of the founding of the country, Lishan Bachelor has been the cradle of the Great Qin civil officials for the past two hundred years, and even many military generals have spent more or less time in the Lishan Academy Palace when they were young.
Even the royal family is no exception to this. Emperor Qin's heir, when he was a child, he and his brothers learned military spells in Lishan School Palace, pretending to be sick and skipping class together, fighting together, peeking at the girl taking a bath together, and being beaten by Mr. in the palm of his hand and even beaten in the buttocks.
Compared with the previous Great Qin Empire, the Qin State in the post-Spring and Autumn Period did not have prejudices such as burning books and pit Confucianism, and what is surprising is that the wise and enlightened monarchs of more than ten generations made the Qin State a rare country among all countries that had a parallel civil and military force. Whether it is the old Qin nobles, the heroes of the right side of the mountain, or the short brown Qianshou, they are all proud of their literacy and reading, and they also have martial arts. In the Qin State, it is a great honor to have a gentleman from the Lishan School Palace to serve as the west seat in the family.
In ordinary counties, it is a great pride for a county to have a bachelor from Lishan who can have no more than one hand, and in this secluded stream hundreds of miles away from Lishan, nearly 100 people appeared at once, which is really a bit terrifying.
A man in a brocade robe, a burly old man with gray hair, and an old man in a black robe with a gold silk belt tied around his waist sat in a gazebo on the mountainside to rest.
"The general and the big Si Nong have good physical strength, and although they are young, they can't compare to the two, so they are ashamed."
Zhang Shuo untied the kettle from his waist, took a big sip, and said after carefully putting it away.
As Zhang said, the other two were Bai Yan, the general of the Qin State, and Bai Lidu, the great Si Nong.
Baili took a sip of wine and said: "Lord Shaofu is also idle, I wait for three people, and I have been officials in the same dynasty for many years. No, not with one hand. β
Baili Dui stretched out two fingers, shook them, and said, "It's only twice, and this is the second time." β
The general Bai Yan snorted and said, "Da Si Nong is afraid of people chewing the root of his tongue." β
Under the law that the Qin State expressly forbade courtiers not to form parties, there are very few ministers who are really in high positions, as ordinary people think, linger in the Qinglou restaurant after work, entertainment and entertainment.
Those who do so are all idle officials who are not in their positions and do not seek their own politics, and they are just unwilling to be a certain Lang and a certain secretary.
Baili Du shook his head slightly and said, "Is the old man such a person who is afraid of things?" If it weren't for the fact that the two of you were really busy, the old man would have pulled you for a drink every month. β
Bai Yan ignored Bailidu's haha, turned his head and asked Zhang: "Lord Shaofu, the old man does have a lot of things, so if you just want the old man to accompany you on a tour with these bachelors today, then I'm sorry, the old man will go down the mountain." β
Zhang said with a smile and said busily: "The general is slow, saying that he knows that the general is not such a landscape idler, and the time is tight." Inviting the general to go up the mountain is just because of the scene on the mountain, and there are many people and miscellaneous eyes, so there is no mistake. It's rare that Dasi Nong is also here, so he invited him over. It's not a tour of the mountains and rivers, the bachelor of the school palace is willing to endorse the mountain, and do the argument of righteousness, which has nothing to do with me. β
"The nonsense of a bunch of rotten and sour talents. The young man who also lost it could think of talking about things in such a place. β
Bailidou raised his head and took a big sip of wine.
Zhang Shuo smiled bitterly, the general who was originally invited to come was actually very interested, but when he saw Bailidui, and then looked at Zhang Shuo, who should have been deliberately concealed, his face was not very right. For this, Zhang said that he was also helpless.
In fact, since the failure of the Jin Dynasty that year, the atmosphere in the court of the Great Qin State has changed a little. Originally, even if they were not close, but they were definitely not relatively cross-eyebrowed, there was a faint spark between the general and the big Si Nong.
Maybe it's in a certain sentence, maybe it's in a certain matter, the two always have some small differences. It doesn't seem to affect the overall situation, but over time, how can a discerning person not see it? What's more, the friction between the general and the protΓ©gΓ© of the great Si Nong can't escape everyone's eyes no matter what.
No, because of these frictions, the parties on both sides failed to control the strength and made a big fuss. Emperor Qin's heir knew that in a fit of anger, he let the two of them leave the capital, follow them wherever they go, and come back when they are in a good mood, as long as they are not in Qin's eyes.
After this order was issued, the government and the opposition were shocked, and said in their hearts, Could it be that Your Majesty is going to do something to the two bigwigs? But without waiting for the officials of the court to react, Emperor Qin Yinghei secretly announced Zhang Shuo into the palace, and it was appropriate to teach him face-to-face.
No, Zhang Shuo, who was instructed by Emperor Qin's heir, said that it was a little tricky, so he invited the two bigwigs to the secluded stream, and then the two parties deceived them, and finally got a deal.
Of course, whether there is a white face and a hundred miles to push the boat down the slope and get off the donkey, outsiders do not know.
Zhang said that he was originally angry when he was only two big guys, but after he finally comprehended the holy will of the Son of Heaven, he eased up a little, who knew that one of the two only cared about drinking, and the other tried his best to be sarcastic and ridicule-neither appreciated.
This made Zhang Shuo, who is a mediator, unable to speak.
You two masters, how can you get to know each other and cooperate a little, how many catties of meat can you lose? Whether you can reconcile in the end is not the focus of this meeting, the focus is on what kind of thoughts your attitude will make the person in the capital think, and what kind of impression will have a substantial impact on you! So how can you be so unenlightened?
Bailidui was a beekeeper in the hive, and earlier, he spent his entire teenage years in the Lishan School Palace. His father was a sacrificial wine in the Lishan Academy, and was later killed by a certain prince under the pretext of "talking about state affairs". In fact, those who knew about this at the time knew that the reason why the prince wanted to kill Bailidui's father was because he fell in love with his father's third concubine. Bailidu's father had only three concubines, and his mother died shortly after giving birth to him.
Few people know about this matter now, but as the eldest son of the Zhang family who has been in the Great Qin Dynasty for nearly a hundred years, Zhang Shuo still knows something. So he can understand very well how lethal Bai Yan's "nonsense" is. So Zhang said he was worried.
This worry is not an exaggeration, because Zhang Shuo also knows that after Bailidu served as a beekeeper in the beehive, in just a few years, the family of the prince who had died back then died one by one, and none of them were spared. This heinous bloody case, Chang'an Assassination History has been changed three times, but it has not been found out. And the one who sat on the throne, the father died and the son succeeded, and also maintained the greatest silence.
So when Zhang Shuo keenly found that Baili had more than usual in this sip of wine, his heart was raised.
Fortunately, at this time, the pair of Lishan bachelors who could only talk "nonsense" also climbed halfway up the mountain out of breath, stopped and began to rest.
"Oops!" Zhang Shuo patted his thigh and said: Da Si Nong has such a way of drinking, a pot of wine can not last on the top of the mountain, but unfortunately I didn't bring wine today, otherwise I can borrow half a pot of Da Si Nong. β
Baili smiled and said, "Lord Shaofu doesn't know what the old man likes, the wine is not good, and the old man doesn't drink it." β
"Hmph, the old man rarely drinks alcohol, but he sees that you have been drinking for decades, but I don't know which sip of horse urine you are drinking." The general looked disdainful. Baili Dui didn't care.
Zhang said that he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that the two of them still know how to measure and know how to push the boat along the river. This is a good sign, Zhang Shuo, who knew that he might be triumphant today, felt relaxed for a while, and then regretted that the slap on his thigh just now was heavier. Although it did attract the attention of the Lishan scholars, I knew that the two old men were so "acquainted", so they just had to be like each other! It's so painful to shoot now, I'm embarrassed to scratch it. It's embarrassingly tight.
Ascending the mountain, the Lishan scholars took care of themselves and conducted a debate for a season, and Zhang Bai and Sima listened to it. Zhang clearly remembered that the last time it was a debate between the kings and the overlords, and the domineering won the king's way, which caused a shock in the court. This time, there will not be much disagreement in the debate between profit and righteousness, but Zhang said that he wants to know who can prevail when the choice of profit and righteousness is not absolute, whether it is profit before righteousness or righteousness before profit.
The debates in the Lishan Academy have always caused a sensation in the Qin State, even abroad, and can also attract attention. Therefore, in recent years, there has been no shortage of Confucian scholars from the Song State and even the Jin State who entered the Qin Dynasty, and they want to see this debate, but the debate of the school palace has always been carried out internally and is not open to the public, and the location also depends on the mood of the school palace's big sacrifice wine, and outsiders have no chance to see it.
No, knowing that the debate in the school palace was imminent, Chang'an City poured in a lot of foreign scholars last month, but they were destined to run in vain.
Zhang said that he has never liked the freewheeling of the big sacrificial wine, except for this time, the big sacrificial wine has really made a lot of stupid tricks. For example, there was a debate on the relaxation of civil and military affairs at Wumo Mountain in the northeast, where there was a war. For this reason, the Northern Army specially drew a cavalry of hundreds of people to guard it inch by inch, which is very criticized. It's just that the result of that time is self-evident, Wen Zhang's victory in martial arts and the victory of mercury are lost.
Zhang said that listening to the handful of the most learned people in Daqin, they were talking on the top of the mountain, and everyone was vying to speak and defend, either deep thinking or anger or laughing without saying anything or enthusiastically and unrestrained.
No one noticed that this Zhang Shaofu's brows were slightly gloomy.
Profit and righteousness, sacrifice life and take righteousness, now the essence of this Daqin reader, in the choice of profit and righteousness, the war of words is not lively.
You must know that Master Meng said back then, sacrifice your life for righteousness.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shuo couldn't help but think of a sentence said by someone he hated very much.
When people were discussing whether the money they picked up should be kept or handed over to the owner, Confucius's dream of Datong, which Confucius had not forgotten, had been completely shattered, and there was no possibility of recurrence.
