Fang Jishi, as the general who protects the Dharma, and is also the martial arts teacher of the crown prince Ji Meng and the little prince Ji Kuo, naturally also received a sacrifice.

After eating the banquet prepared by Zhou Tianzi, it was already half an afternoon.

In normal times, the time of the Son of Heaven banquet is very short, and everyone eats a little symbolically. Seriously, I can't even eat my stomach.

But today is different, Zhou Jingwang, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, personally accompanied, and asked Lao Tzu about the Tao while eating. Moreover! also played a double reed with Lao Tzu, asking and answering.

And then! He also asked the other ministers, have they understood what the Word is?

Among the ministers, many people understood Lao Tzu's teachings. Some people are in favor of it, and there are many people who are against it. On the whole, there are fewer people who agree with it and many people who oppose it.

Therefore! Those who opposed put down their chopsticks and knives and forks and attacked Lao Tzu.

Under the difficulties of these people, others also helped out and challenged Lao Tzu.

Lao Tzu only ate a few bites of food before he was entangled by these people, and had to answer them one by one. When many people asked, his mouth was parched, and the little eunuch who served him kept adding water to the glass of water in front of him.

In this case, there are only a few people who don't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, you ask yours, I eat mine.

Fang Jishi is one of them, he doesn't care if you make trouble or not, it doesn't matter what he does, he eats one person alone.

Of course! I don't dare to drink wine and eat meat in such a big bowl, so I can only quickly put the food in my mouth and chew it slowly, and then quickly put the chopsticks or knives and forks in my hand on the table, as if a child is stealing food.

According to Zhou Li, no talking is allowed during the banquet, and everything must be done in accordance with the regulations. The little supervisor who delivered the dishes came, and someone specially reported the name of the dish, just like the shopkeeper in later generations shouting, "Braised pork is coming!" ”。 The crowd looked honored and waited. And then! At the invitation of the host or the Son of Heaven, start tasting. So! When the dishes were finished, the feast was dispersed.

Today! Because Zhou Tianzi wanted to promote Lao Tzu's "Taoism", he made an exception and talked about things while eating sacrifices and other dishes. Today is the day of the sacrifice, and most of the dishes eaten are offerings.

For the poor, for those who envy power, being able to eat sacrifices is not only nutrition, but also an honor.

But for the Great Zhou Tianzi and these ministers of civil and military affairs, the sacrifices tasted at all, and they were unwilling to eat them. So! Just on the grounds of talking about things, I took the opportunity to stop eating.

After the banquet of the Son of Heaven was over, I returned to the mansion, and it was almost dark.

Fang Jishi hurriedly took out the sacrifices he shared and distributed them to the guards and maids, so that they could eat them quickly. This is a hot world, and if you don't eat it, it will be bad.

But! Fang Jishi found that the ancient food box was designed very specially, and the wood was different from the modern wood, and the sacrifices taken back seemed to be not rancid, but still very fresh.

When the guards and maids learned that it was a sacrifice of the Son of Heaven, they all felt honored, and they ate the same food, each eating a little bit of everything, saying that this would bring good luck to themselves, their masters, and their families.

"Eat! Eat it! Don't spoil your stomach! Fang Keystone waved his hand at the guards and maids. And then! I went back to my room and went to sleep.

By the virtue of alcohol, he woke up from a nap, and then he could not sleep again. Thinking back to the situation at the Tianzi banquet in the afternoon, I always felt that something was going to happen.

It is no wonder that Taoism has not been popularized to this day (more than 2,000 years later), and the reason is that there are too many opponents. Today is the first day of the altar, and there is so much opposition from so many people.

Why? Why? Why?

Fang Jishi kept asking, he just couldn't figure it out? What's so bad about Taoism? The world doesn't want to accept it? No! Is it that most of the ministers of the court are unwilling to accept it?

In the past, he didn't know much about Taoism, but after he came into contact with Lao Tzu and listened to Lao Tzu's sermons several times, he had an understanding of Taoism, and felt that Taoism seemed to be more scientific and better than Confucianism. Why? What about so many people who accept Confucianism instead of Taoism?

In the middle of the night, he suddenly heard an unusual sound from the direction of the palace, and he got up. Anyway! He couldn't sleep either. Came to the courtyard and looked in the direction of the palace, sure enough! The direction of the palace was full of flames, and there were shouts of killing.

Not good! Something happened again at the palace.

He hurried back to the house, put on his clothes, and prepared to go to the palace to rescue. But when he was dressed, he paused again. I think: If you don't get help from the palace, it's not good for you to go rashly.

Because! The royal affair is too complicated, and if you don't pay attention to getting involved in a power struggle, you don't even know how you died.

After a while, the whole city of Luoyi was alarmed, and from time to time there was the sound of horses' hooves in the streets. There were no lights around, but they were all lit with oil under the alarm.

But! A moment later, a different scene emerged. That is: some people kept waking up and lighting the lamp oil at home, and some people quickly blew out the lamp oil after learning that there was an accident in the palace.

These people knew that an accident in the palace was usually a big deal, so they simply blew out the oil lamp and pretended not to know, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

The four special combat members of the Jin Kingdom and the prince's guard, as well as the guards sent by King Zhou Jing, saw that the master got up and stood in the courtyard, and they all stood aside to accompany them, looking in the direction of the palace.

The maids were also awakened, and when they learned that something had happened over there, they shrank in the corner and shivered. Thankfully, they were no longer in the palace. If you are in the palace, you don't know where it happened, it's none of your business, can you save your life?

After a while, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside the courtyard. And then! It's a quick knock on the door.

"General Fang! General Fang! General Fang! ……”

The guards stepped forward to open the door, and one of the palace guards ran up breathlessly and knelt in front of the cornerstone.

"The Lord has commanded! Ordered the general to enter the palace quickly, go to the Tibetan room to protect the Tibetan room, and protect the great power teacher! ”

"What's wrong? Say! Fang Jishi asked.

"No, no, I don't know!" The messenger replied anxiously, "I've only heard that there's a fire on the other side of the guardhouse. Later, I heard that someone had stolen books......"

"Stealing books?" Fang Jishi was even more puzzled, who would steal those bamboo slips in the Zhou Library? Got water in your head, didn't you?

"I heard that the great master found out that someone was stealing books, so he rushed over to stop it. Outcome! Almost stabbed to death? ……”

"What? What did you say? Lao Tzu, he was almost stabbed to death? ”

Hearing that Lao Tzu was almost stabbed to death, Fang Jishi waved his arm, ignored the person who reported the news, and hurriedly left the mansion with the four special combat team members and the prince's guard, and rushed to the palace.

It is! It was seen from the banquet of the Son of Heaven in the afternoon that someone wanted to attack Lao Tzu.
