The Illusory Sword Book League was called Tongren Pavilion during the Taizu period, and it was a public scholar in the world, repairing laws and regulations, and admonishing the country.

When the Zhou Gong was auxiliary to the government, it was renamed Tiance Mansion, and its lower guests were commensurate with the guest qing, and the year was twelve stones, and he was an unemployed official outside the imperial court.

King Zhou Ai succeeded to the throne, indulged in the wine pond meat forest all the year round, lazy government affairs, and the monkeys of the beacon fire drama caused the 16 barbarians to invade the east, and the Tiance Mansion had no edict and no re-supply, and then the road of admonition was blocked, and there was no achievement all the year round, and it has been abandoned by the Son of Heaven for nearly ten years.

Phantom Sword Book League, I have heard a little about this time in Luoyang, the leader is Zheng Beiyou, aiming to recruit people from all walks of life, collect books written by literary scholars from all over the world, and discuss the current affairs of the imperial court in their spare time.

Nowadays, the widely circulated "Governing the Country and Good Treatise on Shuyi" among Luoyang students is from the Phantom Sword Book League, in which the current political remarks, unique opinions, and good policy suggestions can be described as strange, which shows that there are many talents in the Book League, not a grass platform team that sings a big drama with tiger skin and is full of indiscriminate numbers.

However, according to my speculation, Zheng Guogong is the prince of the current dynasty, and he aims to assist the prince in managing the government, I think that the Phantom Sword Book League is more or less secretly supported by His Royal Highness the Prince, and it is actually a cabinet for the prince to gather talents, and the outside world even calls it the small court of His Royal Highness the Prince.

Nowadays, there are more than 300 visitors to the Fantasy Sword Book League, and the reason why Tiance Mansion was renamed the Fantasy Sword Book League is that there is the implication of "Wen can raise the pen to calm the world, and Wu can fight the sword to sound uneven", and the ambition is for a thousand years.

Seeing that I only symbolically nodded his head, Zheng Beiyou was a little disappointed, and then saw that I was no different, and asked tentatively: "Brother Xu is full of wealth, if he takes the career in the future, he will be a good minister to govern the country, and a talent like you is exactly what the court needs now." ”

In the face of Zheng Beiyou's compliment, I didn't dare to take it seriously, and said with a light smile: "The little ink in the lower abdomen is only enough to read and hyphenate, and whether you can make achievements in your career depends on the will of God." ”

The providence I am talking about, in fact, contains a little helplessness, the imperial court has not abolished the election system of the scholar clan gate lord, resulting in a particularly narrow career path, not everyone can learn with real talent and learning.

"I can still say something in the Phantom Sword Book League, if Brother Xu doesn't dislike it, come to the Phantom Sword Book League to contribute to the court."

Speaking of which, Zheng Beiyou's meaning is already particularly obvious, in order to increase the bargaining chips for recruiting into the Phantom Sword Book Alliance, Zheng Beiyou then said: "The Guogong Mansion sits on the Qingfeng Mingyue Tower, and there are countless books in the world. ”

I saw that Zheng Beiyou was invited, and I smiled bitterly: "When I first arrived in Luoyang that day, Lu Yao gave me a meal when I couldn't eat......

The grace of a meal is like reconstruction.

There was a Shangyi doctor in the previous dynasty, because the ancestors were deeply affected by the king of the previous dynasty, Longen, at the beginning of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he would rather endure hunger and go up the mountain to pick roses, not eat Zhou Su, and starved to death in Shouyang Mountain.

This kind of integrity was praised by the Confucian scholars of the past dynasties, and even Wu Zu ordered to build a temple for it, and when the patrol countries passed through Shouyang Mountain, Wu Zu even dismounted and knocked three times to show respect.

Therefore, the gentleman does not eat the millet of foreign countries, does not fall into the ambition of the clouds, and the integrity is as precious as beautiful jade in the eyes of Confucianism, and does not damage its whiteness.

I didn't directly refuse Zheng Beiyou's invitation, and said euphemistically: "If Zheng Gongzi has a useful place in the future, I can't give up my definition!" ”

Eating in the bowl and looking at the pot is not a gentleman's doing, and I don't have the idea of taking refuge in others at the moment.

Although it is difficult for me to be a gentleman, I also don't want to be an unprincipled wall-header.

Zheng Beiyou saw that I had such an attitude, and it was not easy to force it anymore, so he changed his words and said with a deep face: "The master who paid for the work of the poetry club last night is a person who provokes trouble and recklessly does it...... Although he is a noble prince of Wei Kingdom, he is not at ease with his own ......"

I know very well who the person Zheng Beiyou is talking about, since he has solidified his impression of Lu Yao to this point, I think it is pointless to force him to refute.

It was a little rude not to speak, and it would be a loss to talk too much, so I simply smiled indifferently and continued to bury my head in eating tea, and did not make any statement about his words.

"A gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, whenever Brother Xu wants to open, he can come to the book league to sit and ......"

A poetry meeting confrontation offended Wang Gongwang, but thanks to Zheng Beiyou's appreciation, I don't know whether I should be sad or happy.

Fortunately, Wang Gongwang and Zheng Beiyou are not the same dog, which also dispelled many worries in my heart.

Putting down the white porcelain cup that I had been holding for a long time, I made a gesture of thanks to Zheng Beiyou with my hands that had nowhere to place.

"Thank you here!"

With my humble status under the fence now, I can't stand the slaughter, and the only insignificant self-knowledge left in my heart makes me have a clear understanding of myself.

Fortunately, Zheng Beiyou is a person who is good at observing words and feelings, and seeing that I don't want to discuss too much on this kind of issue, he changed the topic and said: "Oh, by the way, dare to ask Brother Xu if he pays attention to the government and politics on weekdays?" ”

Luoyang is not as far as Ezhou, the mountain is high and the emperor is farther away, and the whining and nonsense will not go straight to the sky. The people of Luoyang are mixed and the forces of all parties are intertwined, and I am here with my tail between my legs all the time.

I came to the Eastern Capital alone to return the jade pendant on the orders of my parents, and once I entered the high gate and wide mansion of the Divine General's Mansion, I really realized that I had to be cautious in what I said and did in the Eastern Capital.

In the imperial city where the big people can see their heads, there are not a few people who have broken their tongues because of biased speech, and with this experience of the poetry club, I am more cautious about my words and deeds.

I know very well that I am not Zhang Mazi who has an eight-dollar peach wood sword, if I have three long and two short, not necessarily someone will do anything to save me.

I can read a few words, and a small life is not necessarily worth a meal from Ju downstairs.

"I am a cloth cloth, how dare I talk about current affairs......" I touched my nose and took a breath of cold air, like sitting on pins and needles.

I really don't understand why Zheng Beiyou asked me such a sharp question?

Could it be that he is also a narrow-minded person, and he will revenge the name of the poetry meeting that night?

According to my careful consideration, I don't seem to be like this kind of person who must be compared, and his conduct is well-known in Luoyang, and he is the great-grandson of the Guogong Mansion, so there is really no need to get along with a little person like me.

I wanted to keep silent, but who knew that Zheng Beiyou not only did not mean to stop in moderation, but asked more and more sensitive questions.

"The imperial capital has moved eastward, the dynasty's spirit is declining, and the arrogance of the princes and countries is rising, in the face of this situation, what does Brother Xu think of this game of chess in the world?"

Q: What do I think?

Seeing that his expression was serious and serious, he couldn't reply to him perfunctorily: "How else can you look at it...... Look at the window."

The problem has risen to this point, and I can only stubbornly reply: "This game of chess in the world, if it is not broken, it will not stand, and the situation will be chaotic, and the key to breaking the situation at the moment is to break the situation, in the eighteenth road princes, outside the princes, the powerful control of the government, in the long run, internal and external troubles, and conquest between the princes, it is bound to become a norm!" ”

These questions have always been objective, and my answers are harmless, and although they seem perfunctory, they also have a bit of my own insight.

I didn't want to talk about the government, if I couldn't avoid it, I didn't want to continue to stay in the Guogong Mansion, but Zheng Beiyou has always had the idea of wooing me into the Fantasy Sword Book Alliance, and I don't want to slap my ass and leave as soon as I get the pill.

"The scourge of barbarism has led to the decline of the national strength of my Great Zhou Dynasty, and the military and political division led by Fu Qi, the king of the Divine General's Mansion, has the potential to coerce the Son of Heaven and make the princes, not the princes but better than the princes, and it will inevitably become a hidden danger for the dynasty in the future."

The intertwined forces of all parties, the princes and military governments of the states and counties of the dynasty, the seemingly huge dynasty, in fact, are like a plate of scattered sand.

After the barbarian invasion of the east, the Great Zhou Dynasty is no longer 300 years old!

"The princes are pressing the imperial power, how to break this situation?" As he spoke, Zheng Beiyou slammed his fist on the table in pain.

"Bang!"

The dynasty suffered the first heavy blow in a hundred years, and when the wind and rain were shaky, there was also a heavy minister who was worried about the world first, and the world was happy and happy, but it was a pity that this righteous and straightforward minister finally died of many words, and was cut in half by the king of Zhou Wai, and finally ended up in a different place.

Since then, there are no more straight spine good ministers in the court, and there is no Confucian scholar who dares to be the first, asking for advice, not to mention that the people who control the government above the temple are the military giants headed by Wang Fuqi.

From Zheng Beiyou's participation in the Luohe Poetry Conference, it can be seen that the great-grandson of the Guogong Mansion is helpless, and now he thinks that he is committed to being a foil for Wang Gongwang, and he may have other ideas and purposes.

I know my identity and situation very well, being nosy is tantamount to thinking that my life is long, and I can't bear the consequences of saying too much, and how can I participate in the major events of the DPRK and China, so that Zheng Beiyou has been talking endlessly, so I chant and laugh and occasionally perfunctory words.

In the end, I took advantage of Zheng Beiyou's dry mouth to make up a reason to get up and say goodbye, so that I was able to get out of the Guogong Mansion.

When I left the Guogong Mansion, my mind kept echoing the sharp question of current affairs that Zheng Beiyou asked.

This game of chess in the world!

During the period of the establishment of the dynasty, the feudal division was established, and the princes of the eighteen roads defended the royal power, and the princes were separated for three years and five years, and the foundation was already deep.

Leaving the Guogong Mansion, I couldn't help laughing at myself, this game of chess in the world is as chaotic as the stars, Zheng Beiyou asked me about this stinky chess basket, and he really looked up to me.
