Chapter 16 Confucianism in the world, for the sake of the saints
In the middle of the night, a candle had been burned, and Zimo was still fiddling with this trap bird, carefully studying this drawing several times, and remembering every detail and the position of every square.
Finally, at two or three o'clock in the morning, that is, when it was ugly, Zimo stuffed the last small piece of wood into the head of the trap bird, and the model trap bird was completed!
Although the sparrow is small, this model trap bird has all the functions of the trap bird, and there is a place where the arrow is missed, but only one can be fired at a time, this is completely a mini type, Zimo put a toothpick, just right, you can shoot out.
Zimo looked at the trap bird that had been reassembled by himself, and smiled with relief, this time he could finally sleep, and then put the trap bird away, took back the drawings, yawned, and went back to the dormitory by the sea.
"Oh my God, I have class tomorrow, and I won't be trapped to death by then." Zimo complained, and then continued towards the dormitory.
This thing passed like this, Zimo didn't go to the mountains to cut down trees to make trap birds, he didn't have much time, he usually practiced swordsmanship as long as he was free, and this kind of thing was a sideshow after all, or improving his own strength was the most important thing.
Time passed little by little, it was just autumn before, and the weather was getting cooler and colder, and there was no news from Gong Defeat's side, but there was also good news that Yun Zhongjun had really returned to Xianyang, which was also the news that he heard from the shopkeeper Ding.
Zimo usually takes out this trap bird to fiddle with, and in the eyes of others, it is just an ordinary toy, and no one connects him with the domineering trick, including Sanru who doesn't know this thing.
The weather is getting late, and there are more and more clothes on his body, and suddenly one day Fu Nian called Zimo over, and it seems that it is still a very solemn thing.
On this day, the autumn breeze was cool, and it was exceptionally refreshing on the body, and it was just right to not be cold, Zimo came to Fu Nian here, and Yan Lu and Zhang Liang were also there.
Today seems to be extremely serious, in comparison, Yan Luer is still indifferent, his face is peaceful, looking at Zimo calmly, while Zhang Liang has a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at Zimo very proudly.
"Teacher, what's the matter with me?" Zimo asked.
Fu Nian made a lot of ink very seriously today, but his demeanor was majestic, and he always gave people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant.
"Zimo, a few days ago, we wrote to the emperor in the name of Xiao Shengxian Zhuang and asked you for an official and a half-position, and yesterday a holy decree came from Xianyang, and you have been allowed to enter Beijing as an official!" Fu Nian said in a deep voice.
Ah, that's it? Hehe, although it was expected, it still gave Zimo a lot of surprises.
"Thank you, teacher, the disciple must not forget the Confucian precepts, be conscientious, and serve the country!" Zimo put his hands in front of him and bowed.
Zimo tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart and said seriously.
"Well, I hope you can do it, the imperial court calendar is strict, once you touch the law, no one can protect you, you must be careful when you do things, never touch it!" Fu Nian told again.
"You are outside, not only you alone, but also represent the face of our entire Little Sage Village, and the face of our Confucianism in the world!"
"Zimo, do you know what Confucianism is?" At the end of the admonition, Fu Nian came with this sentence.
What is Confucianism?
Zimo thought about it seriously, and a half-finished answer was brewing in his mind, but before he could speak, Fu Nian told him directly.
"The students in the world are Confucianism, and all the scholars in the world are Confucians, not that only in the small sage village is to study, as long as you have the heart to study, the heart to study, and the heart to serve the country, then as long as you think it is, you are already there!"
"The biggest difference between my Confucianism and other hundred schools of thought is here, I am only the head of the small sage village, but not Confucian!"
After Mr. Fu Nian finished speaking, Zimo admired him very much from the bottom of his heart, but it was only admiration, in comparison, Yan Lu and Zhang Liang were more affinity.
"Thank you for the teacher's teachings, the disciples all remember, and they will not forget the grace of teaching in this life!"
Fu Nian was a little relieved, and continued to say to him, "The hurry of the holy decree requires you to rush to Xianyang before the winter, and now that the autumn colors are getting darker, there are less than two months or so, so you can hurry in a few days, don't delay the trip." ”
Uh, isn't there still two months, what's the hurry, in fact, in later generations, the fastest from Shandong to Xianyang, only a few hours, but this is ancient ah, if you want to hurry, you basically walk, and if you are not careful, you will get lost, in case you wander into the mountains, maybe you will be eaten by tigers.
However, Qin Shi Huang cultivated the galloping path, so it was convenient to walk like this.
So, two months is really not much.
"After you arrive in Xianyang, you can go to the imperial court to report, and then they will arrange an official position for you, and we don't know the specific situation." Fu Nian said.
"yes, okay, I got it."
Then Yan Lu and Zhang Liang said some words of encouragement respectively, especially Yan Lu.
"I heard from the ovary that you once said something to him, which is called, establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations, is that what you said?"
Ahem, the person who said this was Zhang Zai from the Song Dynasty, but Zimo agreed very shamelessly, "That's right, this four things are what I said." ”
"Very good, very good, these four are all very good, I want to remind you a special sentence, for the sake of the saint to continue learning!"
"Inherit the knowledge of our Confucian sages."
Then Yan Lu didn't explain too much, he believed that since Zimo could say this, then he would definitely be able to understand the meaning.
Among the three Confucians, Zimo felt that in fact, Yan Lu's indisputable character was the most similar to the pre-Qin Confucianism, and later generations may have some misunderstandings about Confucianism, but that Confucianism is very different from the Confucianism that Kong Xun said.
And Fu Nian was supposed to be an innovator of this era, and his ideas were closer to Han Confucianism, that is, Confucianism in the service of the monarchy.
Zhang Liang, he is a Confucian who became a monk halfway, his Confucian style is not strong, after all, he still has a dream of recovering the country in his heart, he mainly wants to learn the strategy of the city government in Confucianism, and his swordsmanship and martial arts have also increased a lot, and the "little Liangzi" who followed Han Fei back then has been judged to be like two people.
Zimo thanked a few more teachers and left, and the three Confucians looked at Zimo with their own thoughts.
