【Thousands ♂ of ÷ small → said ◇ .], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Confucius was reminded by the cornerstone of the great god Fang and felt that it was a reason. Such! You can further your studies as a public expense, and you don't need to pay out of your own pocket. Other than that! You can also bring one or two guards or retinues.
The next day, Confucius entered the Lu Palace and told Lu Zhaogong about it.
After hearing this, Lu Zhaogong made a decision on the spot and supported him to go to Luoyi in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to greet Lao Tzu, and all the expenses were borne by Lu Guo.
Fang Jishi's side is not idle. The next day, he went to Ji Pingzi's mansion and told Confucius that he wanted to go to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to greet Lao Tzu.
Ji Pingzi didn't understand at first, so he didn't express his position. After Fang Jishi left, he remembered, sent someone to chase him, and chased him back.
"After careful consideration, I supported Confucius to go to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to greet Lao Tzu. And decide! Let Fang Zhong and Uncle Nangong Jing accompany him. Confucius, as a talented man of our Lu country, should be accompanied by a scholar. ”
Nangong Jingshu, a student of Confucius, was about the same age as Fang Zhong. Both of them are studying in Ji Pingzi's mansion and are good friends.
Uncle Nangong Jing, surnamed Ji, Nangong of Lu State, known as Reading or Said, a Juan, Zhen Jing, is the son of Meng Yizi, the younger brother of Meng Yizi, and the daughter of his mother Quanqiu.
In 518 BC, before Meng Xizi died, he asked Meng Yizi and Nangong Jingshu to regard Confucius as a teacher.
Meng Xizi (?) —524 BC): Ji surname, Meng, name 貜, 谥僖. In the late Spring and Autumn Period, Lu Guo Sikong, one of the three Huan, the son of Meng Xiaobo.
Fang Jishi never thought that Ji Pingzi would let his son Fang Zhong also accompany Confucius to Luoyi in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty? And! also asked Uncle Nangong Jing to go with him.
What is Fang Zhong's identity? And what is the identity of Uncle Nangong Jing?
There is no way! Fang Jishi had to kneel down and thank him, and said! He was willing to go with him and be a coachman for Confucius.
"Very good! Very good! Just what the doctor ordered! Seeing this, Ji Pingzi burst out laughing.
Afterwards! Ji Pingzi went to Lu Palace and discussed it with Lu Zhaogong, and the matter was settled. In the form of public expense, Confucius took Fang Zhong and Uncle Nangong Jing to Luoyi in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to greet Lao Tzu. As a guard, the great god of the cornerstone went together.
The changes that happened in Luoyi in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Fang Jishi had already thought about it, but unfortunately there was no reason.
Due to the backwardness of information in the past, it took a long time for what happened in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to reach the Lu country. By the time Fang Jishi knew the general situation of the matter, it was already a few months later. So! I was in a hurry, but I couldn't help.
He doesn't just care about Zhou Tianzi's family affairs, he cares about Helian and his commitment. After saving Helian, he promised Helian to take care of her for the rest of his life and treat her as his own daughter.
He doesn't have to worry about Lao Tzu's safety, people are wise men and have ways to protect themselves. Other than that! He arranged for Zhang Shanfeng to be a guard by Lao Tzu's side, and there shouldn't be any major incidents.
Other than that! Zinian and Ziluo them, Fang Jishi is also very concerned. The infighting of power in the palace is different from the battlefield fighting, force is one aspect, and intelligence is more important. And also! The shackles of family affection often put the good party in a passive position. So! He was very worried about his son's father and son.
If you fight happily and go into battle to kill the enemy, you can resist for a while if you have a son who falls on the father and son. Even! You can kill the enemy and defeat it. But Gong Dou is different from the battlefield and is more insidious.
After nearly a month of walking, we finally arrived at the boundary of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
After the war, the population of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was much smaller. On the ground of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, there was a lot of barren land. There are also many fewer shops on both sides of the official road than before. Other than that! There are also quite a few burned houses, which have not been repaired. There are many shops, all of which have copper lock handles.
When Fang Jishi first came to Luoyi, it wasn't like this. At that time! Since entering the Eastern Zhou Territory, there have been countless inns. There are many inns, wine shops, and restaurants outside Luoyi City, and the prices are much cheaper than those in Luoyi City. There are often night checks in the city of Luoyi, so! Most people would rather live outside the city.
Right now! There are also many fewer inns, wine shops, and restaurants. Post-war Luoyi, no! On the ground of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty after the war, just like the defeated small vassal states, there was no life without population.
Although the overall situation of the Great Zhou royal family has been decided, and the little prince Ji Kuo became the son of Zhou Tianzi and became the later King Jing of Zhou, there are still wars in a small area! Prince Ji Dynasty is immortal, and his power will always exist. His ambition is not dead, and he often selfishly fights in small areas to harass King Jing of Zhou.
To know! He built an underground palace in Luoyi City and built countless secret passages. It is precisely for this reason that Zhou Mourning Wang Ji Meng was held hostage by him and out of Luoyi City.
And also! In the small land of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, with two forces, the friction between them is conceivable. So! The people have no means of making a living. For the sake of security, the population is generally concentrated in one place, and there are fewer scattered civilians.
Therefore! The ground of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty continued to maintain a depressed scene.
The closer he approached the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the more Confucius's mood seemed to be calm. He didn't come to ask for a gift, he came to find a life coach to solve his doubts. He imagined all kinds of questions in his heart, hoping that Lao Tzu's predecessors could answer them.
Opposite! Fang Zhong and Uncle Nangong Jing were two little children, but they seemed very excited. No matter what Luoyi City was like in the past? What does it look like now? Anyway! Luoyi City is the center of the world, the territory of the Son of Heaven, and it is exciting to think about it.
Along the way, Fang Jishi personally instructed Fang Zhong and Nangong Jingshu in their martial arts.
Since Fang Zhong entered Ji Pingzi's mansion, he rarely went home. Most of his martial arts were taught by the guards in the Ji Mansion. In Ji Fuzhong, there are their own instructors, who not only teach the descendants of the Ji family, but also teach the guards.
Martial arts! In the era of cold weapons, just like modern people studying and taking college exams, you can't move an inch without studying and without a degree. So! Most people are going to practice martial arts.
Confucius, as a sage and a literati, knew how to capture fighting and swordsmanship, not to mention others?
Uncle Nangong Jing, as the second generation of officials, as a hereditary nobleman, and as one of the powerful people in the future Lu Palace, he naturally knows martial arts.
Fang Zhong inherited his father's talent, and his martial arts were quite good. But! As a young man, he is the same as the little prince Ji Kuo back then, and he is very good at pretending. In the competition with Nangong Jingshu, he took losing as the norm. Win once or twice once in a while, but you will never make the other person angry.
Seeing that his son was very capable of pretending, Fang Jishi was even more relieved. That's the only way! The son can be mixed up in the Ji Mansion.
According to the regulations of the Ji Mansion, in a few years, Fang Zhong will be able to marry Ji Pingzi's baby granddaughter.
If you can give birth to many children and offspring for the Ji family, and be loyal to the Ji family, you can be considered to have integrated into this family.
If you can't fit into this family, you'll always have to worry about your life. People will always treat you as an outsider, and once you are framed, you may die.
"This, this, this? This is Luoyi City? "This day! Seeing the city gate of Luoyi, Confucius was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and shouted Fang Jishi to stop quickly.
Fang Jishi stopped the car, and the group went up to the high ground on the side of the official road and looked towards Luoyi City.
"This is our Eastern Zhou Luoyi City! Where the Son of Heaven lives! Fang Jishi pointed to the east gate of Luoyi City and said.
Confucius looked at the east gate of Luoyi City and burst into tears.
"Can we meet the Son of Heaven?" Uncle Nangong Jing asked.
Fang Zhong didn't speak, and also looked at his father.
