When the soldiers guarding the grain in front fought with the enemy on the shore of the enemy, the Jicheng was a stable and peaceful place, and the state pastor's mansion was even more orchestral and bamboo, and the wine and meat were fragrant.

It's not that Liu He likes luxury by nature, and it's not that Liu He doesn't worry about the war ahead, just because as the de facto owner of the current state governor's mansion, all aspects must be considered and taken care of, and the public occasions that should appear must be present, and the banquets that should be held must also be held in accordance with the rules of etiquette.

This is the so-called "etiquette must not be abolished".

Even if the Xianbei people hit Jicheng tomorrow, the reception banquet that should be held for Liu Fang today must be held as usual, which is not only to give Liu Fang an explanation and arrangement, but also to release an important signal to the officials in the city - this, everyone pay attention, the eldest prince specially set up a banquet in the mansion to give up the wind for Liu Ziqi who received the "Notice!

Similarly, although Liu He is not very interested in the son of the Xu family who suddenly appeared, since he came for the "Notice of Recruitment" and the first "applicant" talent Liu Fang, Liu He is not good for people to drive Xu Miao away, and he has to invite Xu Gongzi into the mansion with a smile.

Liu He's invitation to Xu Miao into the house will make the big families in Jixian County feel that he does not favor one over the other, not only attaches importance to "outsiders" and "old families", but also attaches importance to "sitting on the ground"; If Liu He asked the guards to drive Xu Miao away, tomorrow some people would talk about the "Recruiting Virtuous Notice" posted by the eldest prince at the gate of the city, but in fact, there was no sincerity at all!

In these years, prestige and reputation are very important intangible assets, although they cannot be seen or touched, they can become a sharp blade for killing people and a ladder for promotion at a critical time.

After everyone met, Liu He introduced and introduced Liu Fang to Zhao Gai and Qi Zhou and other officials, and then pushed Xu Miao, who was drinking a little blushing, in front of Liu Fang, and said politely: "This is the son of the Xu family in this city, the word Jingshan, and he has also read all kinds of books in the subset of scriptures and history since he was a child, and he has a lot of money in his belly. When Xu Gongzi heard that Ziqi had come to Jicheng, he immediately came to meet him, clamoring to talk to you and debate it! ”

When Liu Fang heard that this was a "shout", he immediately lifted his spirits, and his eyes began to shine out.

In order to facilitate the "communication" between Liu Fang and Xu Miao, when arranging the seats, Liu He deliberately arranged Liu Fang and Xu Miao to sit next to each other, and let Li Yan be responsible for accompanying him, while he himself got together with Zhao Gai and Qi Zhou, for fear of being entangled by two rapping guys, and then he would make a fool of himself.

At this time, it was the end of the Han Dynasty, and the Confucian scriptures that occupied the mainstream of society began to decline, and the metaphysics that fused Taoism and Confucianism together began to rise.

After three rounds of wine, the banquet really developed in the direction that Liu He expected.

Li Yan, Liu Fang and Xu Miao are all the same age, they are all fierce people who have read several big cars of books from childhood to adulthood, and they got together to debate, just like Liu He and several other roommates in the same dormitory in later generations arguing about some hot topics, arguing so much that they blushed and didn't say anything, and sometimes they would smash stools and bowls, and even use force with their sleeves.

Liu He was talking with Zhao Gai and Qi Zhou about the future political development of Youzhou, and the three young guys over there were arguing more and more loudly, and later completely covered up the voices here.

But I heard Liu Fang say loudly: "The Confucian sage is the 'Su King' of the Han system, and the six classics are all made by the sage, and he advocates great unification, great reunification, great revenge, three unifications, three generations, and Xingli to punish thieves, and this Wenjing is a good way to deal with the current troubled times!" ”

Xu Miao immediately retorted: "The first sage 'said but did not do, believed and ancient', the Six Classics should be the record of the ancient rules and regulations system and the words of the sages, not the saint at that time!" In this troubled world, we should avoid complexity and simplification, and oppose the theory of prophecy, and the ancient scriptures are the best way to govern the world! ”

Li Yan heard the two arguing endlessly, and hurriedly adjusted: "From what I can see, whether it is ancient or modern, there are merits, and there is no absolute superiority or inferiority. When Lu Zigan, a scholar of the two scriptures, compiled the "Three Rites Commentary", did he quote the essence of the modern and ancient schools of scripture respectively? ”

Zhao Gai and Qi Zhou understood the topic that the three of them were talking about, and they also nodded in agreement with Li Yan's words, but when it fell into Liu He's ears, it was like listening to a book from heaven.

What are the "subtle words", what "faith and good antiquity", what "prophecy and weft", and what "Three Rites Interpretation", what are you talking about? Does the swelling feel like entering an ectopic plane?

Wait a minute! It seems that Lu Zigan's name is so familiar?

By the way, isn't Zhonglang General Lu Zhi's expression "Zigan"?

Thinking of this, Liu He hurriedly said, "Ahem...... cough, let me interrupt a few times, the Lu Zigan you just talked about who compiled the "Three Rites Commentary", but the late Beizhong Lang General Lu? ”

As soon as Liu He finished saying this, Liu Fang, Xu Miao, and Li Yan, who were still debating, all turned to stare at Liu He with a shocked expression, and even Zhao Gai and Qi Zhou lowered their heads a little embarrassed and hurriedly picked up vegetables and drank, pretending not to see anything.

"It's bad, it seems that Lao Tzu said something wrong!" As soon as Liu He saw this momentum, he felt that it was not good, and muttered quietly in his heart.

Li Yan reacted the fastest, and hurriedly covered up for Liu He and said: "Childe, Beizhong Lang will be a master of scripture Ma Rong, and he was a classmate of the current Confucian Kang Chenggong Yu Fufeng. After Lu Zigan quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he was promoted to the position of Shangshu, and later angered the thief Dong Zhuo because of his advice, so that he was dismissed from office and returned to his hometown Zhuo County to live in seclusion. ”

Li Yan's words are a bit wordy, basically anyone who has a little "culture" in this era should know the Tao, and Liu He served the emperor in Luoyang and Chang'an, so he should be familiar with these things related to the court situation. Li Yan said it in such detail, but the real purpose was to cover up Liu He's last sentence: "I have not heard of the rumors of Lu Shangshu's death so far."

No matter how stupid Liu He was, he understood what Li Yan meant when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to slap himself in a big mouth.

"Rub, Lu Zhi is alive and well, I just said that he was the late Beizhong Lang General, if Lu Zhi heard it, he wouldn't scold me to death!"

In order to hide his weakness, Liu He hurriedly said: "It really makes you laugh." He was in Chang'an for a long time, and mistakenly believed the rumors, thinking that Lu Shangshu had passed away. Fang Cai is a pure slip of the tongue, and I hope everyone doesn't spread the word, otherwise Lord Lu will hear it, and the kid will be scolded half to death by the world's scholars! ”

It should be said that Liu He's temporary response was not bad, and he admitted that he had made a slip of the tongue just now on the grounds that he had been in Chang'an for a long time, and the topic was revealed.

It's just that I didn't expect that after Liu He finished speaking, Xu Miao actually cried without any image!

Liu He was stunned at that time, thinking that this would not be the case, right? Didn't you just missay that Lu Zhi was dead? I already admitted my mistake just now! Why is this product still so sad? It was as if Lu Zhi was really dead.

Although Liu Fang quarreled with Xu Miao just now, he had no ill feelings towards Xu Miao, and when he saw his bitter sadness, he hurriedly persuaded him: "Brother Jingshan, why are you so grief-stricken? ”

Xu Miao wiped a handful of snot and tears, and then choked up and said, "Please also ask Gongzi and you to forgive me for gaffes." Fang Cai really had a kinship, and remembered that Lord Lu was now living in the bitter cold in the mountains of the military capital, and his body was getting weaker and weaker, so he couldn't control it. ”

"What? Didn't Zhengfang just say that Lord Lu had already lived in seclusion after returning to his hometown Zhuo County, why did he run to Jundu Mountain again? Liu He asked a little puzzled.

"Gongzi didn't know that Lord Lu was worried about the disaster in the township, so after escaping from Luoyang, he did not return to his hometown, but directly hid in the mountains of the military capital with his family."

"So, Jingshan once went to Jundu Mountain to see Lord Lu?"

Xu Miao nodded and replied: "At the end of the summer of last year, I went into the mountains with a few classmates to visit Master Lu, and I stayed in the mountains for a few days. ”

Jundu Mountain is in the north of Jundu County in Guangyang County, this mountain range is northeast to southwest direction, there is a very famous pass, called Juyong Pass, and the eighth of the Taihang Eight Mountains mentioned in the previous article is called "Jundu Mountain".

The military capital, also known as Guangou, is the eighth of the eight Taihang provinces. The "Guan" mentioned in the word "Guangou" is Juyong Pass, which is known as one of the "Nine Stops in the World" in "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period" and "Huainanzi". The military capital is deep in the mountains and valleys, the Xiongguan is dangerous, the scenery is beautiful, it is the natural passage of Jicheng north to the outside of the plug, and it is the place where the soldiers must fight since ancient times. This pass is now guarded by Liu Yu's subordinate Wei Dun with 3,000 soldiers, and has been controlled by the Han people.

Liu He listened to Xu Miao's explanation, and suddenly moved in his heart, and said: "Master Lu is a model and model for scholars in the world, but now he is hiding in the barren mountains and struggling to live, which is really embarrassing. Now that I have learned of this, how can I sit idly by! Brother Jingshan, I don't know if I can immediately rush to the mountains of the military capital and send some nourishing herbs and daily necessities to Lord Lu, and at the same time I will say hello to Lord Lu. ”

When Xu Miao saw Liu He's expression, he was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly agreed. He asked Liu He: "I don't know what to say next after seeing Lord Lu?" ”

"I will personally write a letter to Lord Lu, and after you meet Lord Lu, you only need to present my letter in person."

Xu Miao came tonight to "find fault" for Liu Fang, but he didn't expect to be disturbed by Liu He's inexplicable mess, but he won a chance and possibility for Lu Zhi to go out of the mountain, he was excited in his heart, and then he only cared about drinking with people, not to mention the scripture words that made Liu He listen to the big head, and finally let the eldest prince avoid the possibility of continuing to make a fool of himself.

After the banquet ended, the guests dispersed, and Liu Fang was also led by the guards to the guest room.

In the study, Li Yan dealt with Liu He with a clear head.

"Childe, do you really want to recruit Lu Zi?" Li Yan asked.

"That's what you mean, I don't know what the positive side has to say?"

"Childe, Yan is from Nanyang, and he knows very little about Lu Zigan's return to Youzhou, so he has never learned about his seclusion in the mountains of the military capital, and Yan wants to remind you that you still need to pay attention to the attitude of Lord Taifu." Li Yan said somewhat implicitly.

Liu He slowly frowned and said, "You mean to worry that my father didn't mean to use Lu Zigan?" Or is Lu Zigan not willing to work for my father and son? ”

Li Yan nodded and said, "We haven't been back to Youzhou for a long time, and it is reasonable that we have not grasped Lu Zigan's whereabouts. However, Master Taifu has been running Youzhou for many years, and even a son of the Xu family knows that Lu Zigan, a great Confucian of the Lu Dao, is hidden in the mountains of the military capital, how can Lord Taifu not know? ”

Liu He felt that Li Yan's reminder was very reasonable, pondered carefully for a moment, and suddenly patted his head and said, "I figured it out!" Lu Zhi is Gongsun Zhan's teacher, and Gongsun Chan is not on good terms with my father because my father has a grudge against him and does not want to use Lu Zhi. However, since my father acquiesced in Lu Zhi's seclusion to his own territory, it also showed that my father had no ill feelings towards Lu Zhi. ”

Li Yan thought to himself, Gongzi can be regarded as having figured it out, I, as a subordinate, is not good at provoking the relationship between your father and son in person.

Liu He figured out the key to it, so he said: "No matter what my father's attitude is, it's always right for me to let Xu Miao visit and greet in my name, after all, Lu Shangshu is a famous Confucian who serves the country and the people, and I also want to get Zheng Xuan to come to Youzhou to teach through his recommendation!" ”

Li Yan listened to Liu He's words and reminded in a low voice: "Son, don't call Kang Chenggong's name and surname in the future, you will be blamed by the scholars if you go out." ”

Liu He rolled his eyes and muttered: "It's too complicated, it's too complicated, it's a name, a surname, and a table, how many brain cells do I have to waste to remember clearly!" ”

Suddenly, Li Yan was sweating......
