Did Jia Xu go to see Old Master Meng?

I feel that it is a relationship that cannot be beaten by eight poles, Jia Xu is good at power and strategy, and he is not proficient in Confucianism, why can he meet the old master Meng who rarely sees guests?

Master Meng is the master of Confucianism in the Xia Kingdom, one of the best Confucian celebrities in the capital, and even taught the Xia Emperor when he was a teenager, and was the enlightenment teacher of the Xia Emperor.

At his ancient age, Emperor Xia intended to give him the position of Grand Master, but he didn't want him to suddenly become a teacher, so he refused Emperor Xia's grace, but founded the Yuewen Academy, which was committed to teaching and educating people to cultivate pillars for the country, and actively promoted the disciples of the poor sect, and was a well-deserved Confucian scholar.

How did Jia Xu get the opportunity to meet him?

This needs to be rewind to yesterday.

The difficulties of the Inner Court Division made Xiao Rui and others angry, and Jia Xu naturally wanted to take action. In the past three months, Jia Xu has been getting to know the civil and military officials in the capital, and is familiar with their identities, networks, and values, so that he can better assist Xiao Rui.

This time the Inner Court Division's troubles must have been instructed by someone, otherwise the eunuchs with the palm seal of the Inner Court Division would not dare to make assertions, and the Inner Court Division is among the twenty-four yamen of the palace, and the power of civil and military officials is inconvenient to intervene, and they cannot intervene, so they can find people outside the court, and the respected old master Meng was associated with Jia Xu.

Jia Xu asked Xiao Rui: "Your Highness, I remember that you are proficient in poetry, and you once wrote chapters when you studied in the Jiwen Palace, and now you have good poems in your heart that can attract the attention of Mengfuzi of the Reading Academy?" ”

Xiao Rui blinked and shouted to Gao Quan: "Gao Quan, come to the pen!" ”

Subsequently, Jia Xu took the poem to the Yuewen Academy, and handed it to a lecturer at the Yuewen Academy, asking him to pass it on to Meng Fuzi and hope to come tomorrow to visit him.

In this way, there is today's Jia Xu's visit to Meng Fuzi.

Jia Xu saw Meng Fuzi, only to see that he had a childish face, although he was old, but he was also in the age of the dynasty, and he was full of spirit and full of Confucianism.

Jia Xu didn't dare to hold it up, and hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Jia Mou visited Master Meng, and he hoped to forgive his sins if he was disrespectful." ”

Meng Fuzi got up and walked over, invited Jia Xu to take a seat, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jia is polite, the old man is an ordinary person, how can you talk about forgiveness?" Mr. Jia came for His Royal Highness King Xian, but the old man did not greet him well. ”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Originally, His Royal Highness King Xian wanted to come to visit in person, but considering that the mansion had just been opened, the eyes of the whole capital were watching, and he suddenly came to visit, for fear of affecting the reputation of the master, so he could only entrust him to come and ask for something." ”

Meng Fuzi invited Jia Xu to sit down, he returned to the upper seat, and the poems sent by Jia Xu yesterday were placed on the desk next to him, and he glanced at it again, quite like the heroism in the poem.

"Although the turtle is long-lived, there is still a time; Teng snake ride the fog, and eventually turn into ashes. Lao Ji is in the woods, and his ambitions are thousands of miles; The martyrs are in their twilight years, and their hearts are strong. ”

I like it, but if I have ulterior motives and are opportunistic, it will make people unhappy, so Master Meng suspects that these Seven Highnesses can't get rid of the cliché, and they want to win themselves over? Then this borrowing of literature is despicable, and he despises it.

Thinking of this, Meng Fuzi was even more displeased, he has always been jealous and hateful, and he is most tired of this kind of sloppy slapping horses and tending to the flames, not to mention that it is still done by a dignified son.

Jia Xu saw Meng Fuzi's displeasure in his eyes, and he calmly took a sip of tea.

In terms of Confucianism, I am not as good as you.

In terms of mind, you are not as good as me.

Sure enough, Meng Fuzi took the bait and asked, "I don't know what His Highness the Seventh is asking for?" The old man is too old to do it. ”

Jia Xu said: "His Royal Highness King Xian begs his master to agree to let a boy with slave status enter the hospital to study!" ”

"Huh?" Meng Fuzi was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't believe his ears, and asked, "Mr. Jia, what did you say?" ”

Jia Xu said again: "His Royal Highness King Xian begs his master to agree to allow a boy with slave status to enter the hospital to study!" ”

After a pause, Jia Xu left him time to think, and explained: "His Royal Highness King Xian is also deeply ashamed that he actually begged the master for such a thing, but if he wants a person with slave status to be admitted to the hospital to study, he can only do it when the master orders it. ”

Meng Fuzi was both puzzled and curious, it turned out that His Royal Highness the Seventh was not trying to win over himself, but just asking for a place to enroll, or for the sake of the slave boys, what twists and turns were there?

"His Royal Highness King Xian is a prince and has a noble status, why is he busy for slave boys?" Meng Fuzi couldn't help but ask.

Jia Xu sighed and asked rhetorically: "Master, a few days ago, His Royal Highness was punished and knelt in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and was reprimanded by Emperor Xia for being confined at home, have you heard?" ”

"I've heard it, it seems that His Royal Highness the Seventh left Beijing to suppress bandits without authorization." It is naturally impossible for Meng Fuzi not to ignore the affairs outside the window, especially the royal affairs, which are the focus of people's discussions.

Jia Xu said: "That's right, His Royal Highness was punished, it was indeed because he left Beijing to suppress bandits, but the reason why he knelt for so long was that he was reprimanded and confined by Emperor Xia, but because of other things." ”

After that, Jia Xu promised Xiao Rui to take care of the son of the bandit, and refused Emperor Xia's order, and did not hand over the son of the bandit to Dongchang for disposal.

Meng Fuzi was a little moved: "His Royal Highness the Seventh keeps his promise, neither humble nor arrogant, rare, rare!" ”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Although His Highness has been kneeling for more than four hours and has been locked up for more than ten days, he can save people's lives and build a seventh-level floating slaughter." His Royal Highness asked for a place for a master, but also hoped that he could use the cultivation of Confucianism to wash away his gangsterism and establish a positive character. In this way, it can be regarded as worthy of His Royal Highness's good intentions. ”

Meng Fuzi was even more moved, and said: "Okay, the old man agrees with this matter, and the boy can be sent to study tomorrow, and the old man promises that he will not be bullied." His Royal Highness is so open-minded, how can the old man refuse? ”

Jia Xu immediately got up and bowed deeply, and said: "Master Su Wen is a good teacher in the world, there is no class of teaching, and when I see it today, it is worthy of his reputation." His Royal Highness King Xian really expected things like a god, and he and his master sympathized with each other. ”

"Oh? What did Your Highness say? Meng Fuzi was led away and immediately asked curiously.

Jia Xu squinted his eyes, flashed shrewdness, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Xian said that Master Meng is a person who sincerely teaches and educates people, not for the pursuit of profit and fame in the world. His Royal Highness said that Master, you will definitely agree to this, not for the sake of his face, but for the son of bandits also has the right to study. ”

"Haha... Good, good..."When Meng Fuzi heard this, he laughed and said: "King Xian has such an idea, and he does sympathize with the old man, if he has the opportunity, he will definitely visit and communicate." ”

Jia Xu reached into his arms, took out a scroll, and then held it with both hands and offered it to Master Meng, and said: "His Royal Highness King Xian is very grateful to the master for his help and trust, but the gift of yellow and white things is too vulgar, and the calligraphy, painting and calligraphy cannot enter the master's eyes, so His Royal Highness personally wrote an article and asked the master to guide him in ink." ”

"Oh? I'm going to appreciate it. "Meng Fuzi is overjoyed, can he write that although the turtle is long, will the article be bad?
