Chapter 27: The Death of Confucius

PS: Yesterday's article after thanking, are all readers and friends who voted for the monthly ticket in October, November, let's thank you again in the future.

Shi Xun temporarily entrusted the matter of the front base to Guo Huai, and on the same day, he and Zheng Hun quickly went south and arrived at Lishi the next day. Entering the newly repaired Thorn History Office, Cao Miao led Xue'er to greet the general, but seeing that Shixun not only didn't like it, but put on a straight face, as if someone owed him 30,000 yuan, he couldn't help asking: "My husband doesn't want my mother and daughter to come?" If Gan came, he didn't think it was such a face. ”

Shi Xun smiled bitterly and said: "The woman is really jealous and suspicious - I don't like it, but I don't dare to like it - there is a letter, Mr. Kang Cheng is dead!" ”

Cao Miao was also taken aback when she heard this, and before she could ask for details, she suddenly heard a young voice ask, "Who died?" When I looked down, it turned out that it was Xue who was holding my hand and asking. Shi Xun put his hands on his knees, bent down, and told his daughter: "Mr. Kang Cheng is dead." Shi Xue nodded: "I see." ”

Shi Xun was a little crying and laughing, and said in his heart that your little girl's expression and tone seemed to be quite familiar with Mr. Kang Cheng. At that moment, he inserted his hands under Shixue's armpits, picked up his daughter, and asked teasingly: "Since Mr. Kang Cheng is dead, what should Grandpa do?" Shi Xue tilted her head and thought for a while, and replied, "It should be paid for money." It was Xun who laughed, but after only laughing twice, he felt that it was not appropriate—although no outsiders might hear it—and pretended to cough twice, swallowed the laughter, and turned his head to ask Cao Miao: "Did you teach her?" ”

Cao Miao smiled: "How can I teach her." I think it was the day before yesterday that Huan Gongya died, and I told Yu to prepare money, and she could hear it. "Huan Gongya is Huan Dian, and the official is Guangluxun. Died not long ago.

Shihoon nodded. Then he sighed: "Mr. Kang Cheng is different from Huan Gong. I'm afraid some money will do. ”

Cao Miao was born in a large family, and he also knew a little bit of etiquette, so he asked casually: "Do you have to go to Beijing to pay tribute?" Shi Xun shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not enough." At the moment, while teasing the daughter in his arms, he roughly told Cao Miao what he said yesterday and Zheng Hun - of course, all kinds of advanced quotations and classics have been ignored, even if he said it, Cao Miao must have understood it or not.

Cao Miao frowned slightly. Asked Shixun: "Three years of mourning...... How can it be a gift? However, it is inevitable to return to the hometown - it will take months to come and go, is it true that the husband wants to resign from the table? As he spoke, he suddenly frowned and said with a smile: "Just quit." This Shuozhou is remote and poor, and even the Assassin History Office is so simple, what is the benefit of living? It's better to resign, my brother will have a good official with you. ”

Yes Xun pouted secretly, and said in his heart that he was still "my brother", do you think you are Cao Cao's sister-in-law? Cao Miao said it without being unreasonable. In the eyes of women, officials are good and officials are bad. One looks at the size of the power, the second looks at the affairs are complicated, and the third looks at the distance from home - the authority of the state assassin is not small, but Shuozhou is too poor, and the affairs are even more impossible to be light, and the most important thing is that the distance is too far away.

Alas, the finch knows the ambition of the bird! Do you think that when I came to Shuozhou, I simply came to the Cao family...... Do you want to keep a state for the Han family? I hope to do my best to solve the problem of the nomadic country in the north to the greatest extent possible and to reduce the external pressure on the country.

But these words, of course, there is no need to say them to Cao Miao, and he just sighed lightly at the moment: "The resignation is indispensable, but whether to stay in office or not is still in the imperial court." "Turned the conversation around and said to Cao Miao, I just accepted a Hu man as an adopted son, so and so, so and so and so on. Cao Miao frowned when she heard this, and said, "You have your own son, why bother accepting fake sons?" What's more, the Hu people are tyrannical and fishy, what good will they reap? "Yes Xun said that this is a major national event, you don't understand, I just said hello to you first, and maybe one day I will take Wei to my home to teach for a period of time, you have to have the bearing of the main room and the main mother, don't give people a look.

"But the husband's command is to listen." Cao Miao agreed. The husband and wife gossiped a few more words, and Shi Xun asked her to go down to rest first with her daughter, picked up the pen herself, racked her brains to write a resignation recital, and sent Jing Junxiao to the court first. I didn't dare to have sex with Cao Miao that night, I slept alone, got up the next day, and waited for the fast horse to rush back to Xudu.

Cao Miao originally wanted to follow, but Xun said that you are running hard, and you haven't stopped yet, how can you return to Xudu with me again? It's better to wait in this stone city for the time being, I estimate that the imperial court will not allow me to resign, at most I will give a few months off to help Zheng Xuan's coffin return to his hometown - in his original intention, it is best that the imperial court will not even allow this leave - sooner or later I will have to go back to Shuozhou to reunite with your mother and daughter.

As for what if the imperial court really approved it, he had to help Zheng Xuan's coffin go to Gaomi, and the attack on Meiji was delayed, so what should he do? Shixun's heart is in a mess now, so he simply doesn't think about it, just hopes that there will be a road before the car reaches the mountain.

It's a big deal that he told Cao Cao that this is a good time to pacify the Huns, and he can't miss it, let Cao Cao put pressure on the court, and don't allow his own fake - and wait until he returns to Xu Du.

So he left Qin Yi to take care of Cao Miao's mother and daughter, and he took Sun Wen and ten subordinates with him, and rushed to Xudu with a horse and whip. Yu Lu didn't say anything, and on this day, seeing that the destination was in sight, he suddenly heard someone shouting not far away: "Isn't it Mr. on the other side?" It turned out to be Zhuge Liang's voice.

It was Xun Xin who said that I hurried back to pay tribute to Zheng Xuan, but this non-stop, I couldn't catch up with Zhuge Liang, and the little guy was really not slow. He understood Zhuge Liang's thoughts, and he wanted to hand over the music to the court as soon as possible, so that he could hurry back and ask for the order to send Meiji, saying that he would surrender the Huns, but - I am not in Shuozhou today, even if you go back early, what is the use?

Zhuge Liang's eyes were very good, he saw that it was Xun, he greeted him from afar, it was Xun who looked over, but he was only vaguely a few figures, if he didn't hear the shout, he couldn't identify who it was. Seeing that the towering fortress of Xu Du is already in sight, and he is not in a hurry for this moment, he might as well get off his horse and take a rest and wait for Kong Ming to come over.

Therefore, Yehoon avoided the side of the road, rolled over and fell to the ground, rubbing his sore thighs and buttocks, while waiting. In an instant, Zhuge Liang had galloped in front of him, and hurriedly dismounted to salute. Shi Xun smiled: "Kong Ming came so quickly. Have you already handed over the play? ”

Zhuge Liang replied that he had arrived in Xu Du two days ago, and he went to Shangshutai that day and handed over the performance to Shangshuling Xunyu. The night that followed. Cao Sikong summoned himself to see him. The order will be reported in detail before and after the pacification of Shuozhou. After listening, Cao Cao said: "Dasi Nong has just died, and the urgent delivery has gone to Shuozhou, and it is expected that the master will return to the capital to pay tribute in a few days." But you can wait in the middle of the city. ”

Shi Xun nodded when he heard this, and then frowned again: "Since you are allowed to wait, why do you want to leave Beijing?" "If you don't wait for me to come, even if you hurry back to Lishi now, it will be useless. If I'm not in Shuozhou, who will allow you to send Meiji?

Zhuge Liang arched his hand and said: "The disciple is here to greet Mr., and there is something important to report." ”

Yes Hoon made a gesture to please speak—he said to himself, what is there to rush to report to me? What if I go off the road and can't bump into me? Kong Ming is still a little too impetuous, and he must find a chance to beat him well.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang suddenly changed color, he raised three fingers solemnly: "One thing, the disciples of Zhengmen in Duzhong, from Doctor Xi and Liu Zhonglang down, have all played their resignations and want to hold a funeral for Mr. Kang Cheng." "Doctor Xi" is the Cheng Xi in the imperial history." Liu Zhonglang "is Zhonglang Liu Yan, all of whom are disciples of Zhengmen.

It's Xun Wenyan. I was shocked, and said that I had to ask Zheng Wengong for advice. If the disciples of the Zheng Sect don't resign, I will not resign, and it will not be conspicuous; Now everyone is on the table to resign, if you don't just love the stack, and don't even show an attitude, then you will definitely be looked at by the world's corporals. Besides, in this way, won't he become an outlier in the circle of Zheng Men's inheritance from now on? Can you still mix it up?

It's dangerous, it's dangerous!

patted Zhuge Liang on the shoulder at the moment: "I will tell you more than Kong Ming, but I will also resign from the table, don't worry." ”

Zhuge Liang nodded, and said I had already met Jing Xiaoxiao in the city yesterday, and I learned about it, and Mr. did the right thing to do, so I can avoid a small discussion. When he was done, he raised a second finger: "The second thing, Dr. Xi wants me to pass on Mr. Yu: 'Confucius died in the past. ’”

It was Xunxin who said that what happened to Confucius? Do you want to compare the death of Zheng Zi today? Xi is worried that there is no beginning or end to this, there must be some mystery hidden in it. After thinking of the source of this statement, it suddenly dawned on me and I couldn't help laughing.

It turns out that this sentence is from "Mencius? Teng Wen Gongshang", the following text is: "Three years away, the people of the gate will return, enter the Zigong, cry to each other, all lose their voices, and then return." Zigong rebelled, built a room in the field, lived alone for three years, and then returned. In his day, Zi Xia, Zi Zhang, and Zi You are like saints, and they want to do what Confucius does......"

To put it bluntly, after the death of Confucius, the disciples of Confucius gathered together for three years to mourn - ah, it is true that they are not only mourning but also mourning, Zheng Hun is right, but he ignored this record of Mencius - when the mourning period is over, the big guys pack up and disperse, and before leaving, they all go to see Zigong and cry opposite him. It can be seen that after Kong Qiu was hung, the position of the second generation of Confucian dragon head fell on the head of Zigong.

But then something happened, Zi Xia, Zi Zhang, Zi You and others planned to serve Youruo as if they were serving Confucius because they looked very similar to Confucius. The implication is that they want to support Youruo as the second-generation dragon leader - of course, it is more likely to carry Youruo's puppet out and fight against Zigong.

Therefore, the beginning and end of this sentence passed by Xi Xian is to remind Shixun of this large paragraph, and to remind him of the lesson of the division of Confucius after his death. Zheng Xuan's disciples have a lot of disciples, except for those who are hanged, and there are a few who have gone to the ends of the earth and don't know where to live in seclusion, and everyone has publicly recommended him Xi Hongyu as the senior brother - not that he is the most knowledgeable, but that he is the oldest.

Thinking of this, Shi Xun couldn't help but wonder: "Xi Hongyu wants to be in the right position?" "Obviously, he wants to be Zigong, I hope that he will not rebel against him like Zixia and Zizhang, and he will not get on someone else's thief ship. Hehe, I didn't expect that Zhengmen was about to split - if there were no signs of splitting, why bother? However, I want to play the signboard of Zhengmen, and open a new school of the door, Senior Brother Xi, you will definitely be disappointed.

Of course, there is no urgency in this matter, and there is no need for me to focus on tampering with the Confucian scriptures and meanings, and engaging in ideological education and social reform.

After laughing, Shi Xun asked Zhuge Liang again: "There is still a third thing, why not?" ”

Seeing that Zhuge Liang's expression became extremely strict, he took two steps closer and said in a low voice: "Yesterday, the disciple stayed in the capital, Yan Ling ordered to visit at night, Yuncheng Dengzhou has been invited to return to the court, and Mr. He is still drowning in other states?" In ancient times, those who can come out and enter and enter the phase have been in peace for a long time?! (To be continued......)
