Chapter 12 Xiang Xu
Chen Guo has a Li Er!
Chen State, like the Song State, is one of the three Ke, for the descendants of Yu Shun, when Li Er's road was not completed, in Ku County, no one cared, and when Li Er's road was completed, he was taken by the Zhou royal family to the capital Luoyi.
So much so that after the monarch and gate valve of Chen State knew the truth, they all beat their chests and regretted not leaving Lao Tzu in Chen State.
Lao Tzu Avenue has the effect of suppressing the number of qi, which is a great benefit for a country. Chen Guo just let it go in vain?
Afterwards, many countries made fun of Chen Guodu. And the Song Kingdom, which is also Sanke, is naturally among them.
This time, Kong Qiu returned to the Song Dynasty to worship his ancestors, and the news spread far and wide, and naturally spread to Shangqiu, the capital of the Song Dynasty.
It is not clear whether Kong Qiu is the same great sage as Li Er, but it has been confirmed that he has walked out of his own path, and how many students have followed him, and people from all over the world have admired him.
It can be said that Kong Qiu is because of his studies, and he has nothing to do with the country of Lu.
If Confucius travels to various countries, he will also be a guest of honor in all countries.
This time, Kong Qiu's visit to Song is a remarkable thing in itself. News had already come from the cities along the way, and Shangqiu was naturally more sensitive.
When I learned that Kong Qiu was actually a descendant of the Song royal family, with the same surname and the ancestral temple with the surname of the son, all of a sudden, some gates, ministers, and kings of the Song Kingdom were all overjoyed.
Because of the same ancestor! So it's closer!
Kong Qiu had arrived outside the city of Shangqiu. Suddenly, Shangqiu officials came to greet him.
Although the king of Song also wanted to greet him in person, he did not agree with the etiquette after all, so he could only wait in the city.
However, the officials sent are also extremely honorable.
When the Kongqiu carriage procession arrived at the gate of Shangqiu City, it stopped.
Kong Qiu got out of the carriage and suddenly saw an old man in gorgeous clothes standing at the gate of the city, the old man's face was majestic, his eyebrows were white, but his face was extremely ruddy, and his blood was vigorous.
Seeing Kong Qiu get out of the carriage from a distance, he immediately saluted slightly: "Doctor Song Guo, Xiang Xu, I have seen Kong Qiu Daxian!" ”
This salute made Kong Qiu's expression solemn, and he immediately replied: "Countryside grass people, I've seen Doctor Xiang!" ”
As soon as Kong Qiu heard the other party's self-registration number, he knew who it was.
Xiang Xu, the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Song Kingdom! The status and reputation are so great, not only a Song Kingdom, but the entire Central Plains, who doesn't know?
It's not how powerful it is, it's that it once led a 'Warrior Alliance'!
After King Zhou You's beacon fire played the princes in the world, the world's etiquette and music collapsed, and the countries in the world continued to conquer each other, and the people were struggling to make a living. The world is always at war, and there is always war, what a chaotic era?
And Xiang Xu, in the Song State, invited the Fourteen Kingdoms to come to the alliance, recognized the overlord of the Chu State and the Jin State, and cooperated with the countries to reach an agreement, so far, the army will be killed, that is, the army will be suspended and no war will be fought at this point.
The Fourteen Kingdoms of the Central Plains, since this alliance of soldiers, there has never been a war, and for more than ten years, the Central Plains has not moved a single sword. What a great achievement?
At the same time, outside the Central Plains, Wu and Yue also suffered from war, killing each other endlessly.
Compared with the world, this Central Plains land, all respect for Xiang Xu, the Central Plains countries, no matter where, as long as Xiang Xu goes, they are all guests, and even countries invite Xiang Xu to go as an official, but Xiang Xu has not left the Song State one step.
Because, Xiang Xu is also the surname of the child, and the surname of the child is Xiang, and the ancestral temple is shared with Confucius and King Song.
The homeland is difficult to leave, and in the Song Kingdom, it has always been a needle-like existence of the sea god.
Kong Qiu returned to the Song Dynasty this time, although the King of Song did not come to greet him because of the ceremony, but he came to Xiang Xu, which can be said to be grand to the extreme.
"In the countryside, it is really commendable to produce this great sage, I didn't expect that among my son's surname, there can be a great sage, my son's surname is honored, and I am fortunate to be in the Song country!" Xiang Xu suddenly laughed and held it.
"You're kind to the doctor!" Kong Qiu smiled slightly.
"Kongqiu, you can go back to Song, Xiang Xu is happy, come, go, go, go, I have already set up the banquet, just wait for Kongqiu!" Xiang Xu suddenly came enthusiastically and grabbed Kongqiu's hand.
Kong Qiu saw Xiang Xu's enthusiasm, and he was not too resistant.
Nodding, Kong Qiu stepped into the carriage with Xiang Xu and arrived at Xiang Xu's mansion together.
Xiang Xu greeted him personally, and naturally a large number of officials accompanied him. And Kongqiu's students naturally received preferential treatment.
Although Conciu felt the enthusiasm. However, Kong Qiu still led his disciples to his father's former mansion, and because Shu Liang Su went to Lu to develop, the residence of the Song State was already dilapidated.
But, no matter how broken it is, it's also home!
The students of Confucius naturally cleaned it carefully, and there were immortal disciples who continued to repair it.
When Kong Qiu went to Xiang Xu's mansion to feast, Kong Qiu's residence had already been repaired.
Xiang Fu Shang.
Xiang Xu is extremely enthusiastic about Kongqiu. And introduce it to everyone.
"Do you know who this is, Kongqiu?" Xiang Xu pointed to an old man and said with a smile.
The old man was not conspicuous, but his face was extremely kind.
"Who is this?" Kong Qiu asked curiously.
"Old decay and integrity! In the past, he and Shu Liang Su were close friends! Mr. Kong, I dare to call you Kong Qiu, okay? The old man stroked his beard and smiled.
"Qi Guanzheng? It turned out to be Uncle Qiguan! Kongqiu is polite! Kong Qiu suddenly bowed slightly.
"Hahaha, good, good, good, Uncle Liang Su, but what a blessing, give birth to this Lin'er!" Qi Guanzheng suddenly helped Kong Qiu up and said with a smile.
"Shame! Uncle praised it falsely! Kongqiu shook his head and smiled.
"It's not a false praise, your reputation has spread from the Lu Kingdom, and my Song Kingdom is also your name!" Qi Guan Zheng laughed.
"A little famous, not praised!" Kong Qiu said modestly.
"Kong Qiu, I've heard that back then, Uncle Liang Su and Qi Guanzheng had set a marriage for their children, and they even used two pieces of concentric jade as a witness!" Xiang Xu smiled.
"Ugh!" Kong Qiu frowned slightly.
"Back then, my uncle Liang Su and I could be described as close friends of life and death, concentric jade, I also have a treasure, Kong Qiu, your family's concentric jade, can you bring it?" Qi Guan was looking at Kong Qiu, and a flash of anticipation flashed in his eyes.
In anticipation, Qi Guan was taking out a piece of jade pendant that was exactly the same as the one that Yan gave to Kong Qiu, but on top of the jade pendant, it seemed to have been damaged and re-glued.
Perhaps, Qi Guanzheng did not take good care of this jade, which was just restored not long ago.
Kong Qiu frowned slightly, but still nodded.
The student on the side replied and respectfully handed over a jade box.
In the jade box, it is the jade pendant collected by Shu Liang Su, and the jade pendant that was later handed over to the Yan family's collection, this one of Kong Qiu is even more bright and soft, it is obvious that Shu Liang Su and Yan attach great importance to this jade pendant, and often grasp it in their hands and grope it, so that they touch it too much, and it becomes more and more soft and moist.
"Hahahaha, that's right, Tongxinyu, this is our certificate, Kong Qiu, this is what I set with your father, I have three daughters, and now the eldest daughter and the second daughter have been married, only the little daughter is left, and the little girl has just passed the ceremony, and she can get married, you are here, just right! Just fulfilled my wish and your father's wish! Qi Guanzheng suddenly laughed.
As soon as the official spoke, in the main hall, all the officials suddenly looked at Kong Qiu expectantly.
Of course, the students of Kong Qiu also saw that some young officials showed ugly looks on their faces, but in the eyes of the old officials, they lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
Kong Qiu looked at Qi Guanzheng, and said with a slightly wry smile: "Lord Qi Guan, I'm afraid there is one thing you don't know, in Xia Kongqiu, in this life, he will not practice immortality, he will not serve the government, he will be poor in his life, he will have no power and power, and he will study more carefully, and he has no intention of scrupling about others, but he is not a good match!" ”
"Huh?" Qi Guanzheng was slightly stunned.
Xiang Xiang raised his eyebrows on the side, and immediately interrupted Kong Qiu and said, "Kong Qiu! ”
"Doctor Xiang?" Kong Qiu looked at Xiang Xu.
"I'm afraid you don't know, hahaha, the little daughter of the family of the official family, the official is red, but I am the first beauty in the Song Kingdom, no, the first beauty in the entire Central Plains is not an exaggeration, just now, in the family of the Lord Qiguan, there are countless people who come forward to say that the matchmaker can line up from the family of the official to the Lu country! Such a beauty, only Your Excellency is qualified, you are the order of your parents! Xiang Xu suddenly smiled.
Xiang Xu wanted to keep Kong Qiu in the Song Kingdom.
This time, I deliberately studied the situation of Kong Qiu, and learned that Qi Guanzheng had an appointment with Uncle Liang Su to set up a family for his children, and Xiang Xu was immediately overjoyed. This Qi Guan is his subordinate, and it just so happened that Xiang Xu personally persuaded Qi Guanzheng.
Qi Guanzheng found the jade pendant that he didn't know where to lose back then, just to cooperate with Xiang Xu, so that he could leave Kong Qiu.
Move first with affection! Know it again!
However, Confucius this is, refused?
"Doctor Xiang, Uncle Qiguan's kindness, Kong Qiu has received it, but Kong Qiu is bent on the avenue, I'm afraid of delaying the girl Qi Guan!" Kong Qiu shook his head and smiled.
Qi Guanzheng's face suddenly froze, and he didn't know what to say.
"Hahaha, marriage matters, no hurry, no hurry, go back and talk about it, how can you disobey your parents' orders at will? Let's go back, come, let's toast Kongqiu! Xiang Xu suddenly raised his glass and smiled.
"Mr. Kongqiu, please!" A group of officials joined in the toast.
"Thank you for your hospitality!" Kong Qiu bowed to everyone and took a drink.
"Kongqiu, you are also a surname, we all have a common ancestor, the king knows that you are back, and he has already swept the couch to welcome you, but Yu Li is not in harmony, so I asked me to greet him, let me apologize on behalf of the king!" He raised his glass to Xu.
"Thank you for your attention, this time, Qiu Hui Song is also to fulfill his father's last wish, worship the ancestors, and comfort the spirit of the ancestors!" Kong Qiu took a drink and said solemnly.
"Ancestor worship?" Xiang Xu's expression moved.
"Kong Qiu, if the situation is today, you must also know that the old man is also old, I don't know how long he can protect the Song Kingdom, fortunately, the descendants of the Song Kingdom, out of you, the great sage, sincerely ask Xu, can Kong Qiu stay in the Song Kingdom and serve the ancestors? Xiang Xu hereby assures you that your day in the Song Kingdom will be the most important offering in the Song Kingdom! Xiang Xu stood up and saluted solemnly.
Under this salute, the surrounding officials saluted one after another.
At this moment, the banquet hall became extremely solemn, and they were all asking Kong Qiu to stay.
The faces of the students brought by Kong Qiu all changed, but, after all, no one said much.
Kong Qiu frowned slightly, Kong Qiu could feel Xiang Xu's great sincerity, and he was also a true loyal man, but Kong Qiu understood better that under the calm of the Song Kingdom, the waves were turbulent, and the contradictions between the various ethnic groups were continuous. There is no environment in the country of Lu.
Kong Qiu sighed slightly: "I'm sorry, Doctor Xiang, I haven't thought about this yet!" ”
Confucius this is a tactful refusal.
With this refusal, Xiang Xu's face was a little unbearable, but after all, in an embarrassing atmosphere, the banquet slowly ended.
As soon as the banquet was over, Kong Qiu took his leave and returned to his father's mansion.
Xiang Xu's mansion, and suddenly the group of officials fell again.
Sending away a group of officials, Xiang Xu frowned and pondered.
Kong Qiu did not agree to stay in the Song Kingdom, and Xiang Xu did not happily agree to allow Kong Qiu to worship his ancestors. Obviously, a good welcome banquet will be unpleasant.
"Dad, didn't you promise the child? Let the child marry Qi Guanchi, Qi Guanzheng was very satisfied with me at the beginning, how are you, how are you ......! A young man walked up to Xiang Xu and said anxiously.
Xiang Xu looked at him coldly: "Qi Guanzheng, this old fox, is not satisfied with you, but with me!" ”
"It's not the same......!"
"Hmph, if you don't learn anything, look at that Kongqiu, and then look at you, you are older than Kongqiu, and you are still not sensible." Xiang Xu glared.
"I don't care, that Qi Guanchi, I have to marry, if Qi Guanchi marries Kong Qiu, I will go to his house every day to make trouble, and no one wants to rob the woman I fancie!" The young man said hatefully.
PS: Historical trivia, the Song State had two alliances, the first time quickly failed, and the second time was promoted by the Song State doctor Xiang Xu, forming the Central Plains for 40 years without war, and the credit was in Sheji.
There is something going out today, and the update is a little late, forgive me!
