Chapter 534: The Wu Family of the Chu State [II]
Sitting in the small private room next door was an elegant Confucian with a lupine scarf, and when Xu Lingxiao first walked in, he still had a disdainful face. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, when he saw Su Lin who was following behind Xu Lingxiao, his eyes immediately widened, obviously seeing that Su Lin was not good.
Su Lin did not hide the aura on his body, he was a lifter, but he was introverted and introverted, and he was not sharp, at first glance, he was a Confucian with poetry and book talent, but he was very low-key.
"Brother Wu, I haven't seen you for a long time......! Let me introduce you to you, this is my good friend, Su Lin, the genius of our Wu Kingdom. Xu Lingxiao held his chest high and said proudly.
"Surin?"
Wu Qida stared slightly and thought for a moment, then immediately said in astonishment, "You are Su Lin of the Three Towns of January?"
"Exactly!"
Su Lin bowed slightly, he didn't want to greet Xu Lingxiao together, but when he heard Xu Lingxiao say that this person was from the Wu family of Chu State, he became interested.
"I have admired Brother Su's name for a long time!"
Wu Qida completely let go of his contempt at this time, and got up directly and stepped forward, "Brother Su, please take a seat!"
"Brother Wu is polite!"
Su Lin sat down, Xu Lingxiao also sat beside him, although the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, but Wu Qida took the initiative to provoke the conversation and said: "I heard that Brother Su helped the head of the Jishan Ji Academy of Jianzhou Mansion before to be promoted to the Great Confucian of the Military Family?"
This Wu Qida went straight to the point, without even saying a word of greeting, so he directly asked about Su Lin helping Ji Shan Yuan to break through.
"It did, but it was just a fluke. ”
Su Lin smiled, "The soldier's "Thirty-six Strategies" is so profound, I didn't have the opportunity to study it seriously. ”
"Oh, Brother Su is humble. Thinking that the head of the Ji Academy has been silent in Hallym University for many years, he can be woken up by Brother Su's words, and naturally Brother Su is also indispensable. ”
The reason why Wu Qida attaches so much importance to Su Lin is not only because Su Lin is the prince of Wu and a rare poetry genius in a century, but more importantly, one of the purposes of his coming to Wu is to find a way to make friends with Su Lin.
The Wu family of Chu is the descendant of Wu Qi, a half-saint of the military family during the Warring States period.
The life of Wu Qi, a half-saint of the military family, can be said to be bumpy, he was born in a wealthy family with "a lot of money". However, in order to seek political development, he ran everywhere to find a way, spent a lot of money, made his family bankrupt, and did not get an official position, and was ridiculed and slandered by the villagers.
Wu Qi was so angry that he killed more than 30 people who slandered him. When he was about to flee, he swore to his mother, "I will never return to defend myself." ”
Later, Wu first went to Zeng Shen, the son of Zeng Shen, a disciple of Confucius, to learn Confucianism. After the death of his mother, Wu Qi did not go home to mourn and keep filial piety according to the Confucian creed of loyalty and filial piety. Zeng Shen thought that he was unfilial and unworthy of being a disciple of Confucianism, and broke off the teacher-student relationship with Wu Qi. After that, Wu Qi abandoned Confucianism.
However, after the soldier's ideology was completed, Wu Qi did not get a real stable opportunity that allowed him to display his ideological talents.
He successively defected to the state of Lu and the state of Wei, and finally Wu Qiluo settled in the state of Chu, and initiated the famous "Wu Qi Reform" in the state of Chu, and it was through this change that Wu Qi completely sublimated his military thinking and became a half-saint of the soldier.
However, it is a pity that the change ultimately failed, and even Wu Qi himself was besieged and killed by the demi-saints of the Chu State.
A demi-saint was besieged and killed by many demi-saints, which cannot but be said to be miserable.
Moreover, the life of serving the Wu family in the Chu State was not easy, and it was targeted by many semi-saint families, so that since then, the Wu family has never produced a half-saint, and even the great Confucians are very few.
In Wu Qida's generation, it happened to be the fall of the previous generation of Confucianism, and now the highest level of cultivation of the Wu family is only a scholar of Hanlin University.
It can be said that at this time, the Wu family of the Chu State was in the most declining time, and it was also the time when they most wanted to seek a breakthrough.
Therefore, the Wu family will send the children of their own family to travel around with ten thousand gold, looking for ways to revitalize the Wu family.
And the Wu family has always cultivated the idea of a soldier, so after hearing the news of the first breakthrough of the Jishan Academy, they will let Wu Qida, who has traveled in the Wu Kingdom, find a way to make friends with Su Lin.
But it is a pity that after Wu Qida received the news, he went to Jian'an Mansion and Jianzhou to visit and look for him, but he did not see Su Lin as he wished.
He was planning to take advantage of the time of Wu Guoguo's national examination to go to the capital, hoping to meet Su Lin through the recommendation of a friend who was studying in Guozi.
But who would have thought that he would meet Su Lin by chance in this Pingnan Mansion?
"Brother Su, the elder in my family, he also cultivates the authentic method of the soldier. I often chant Brother Su's name, I don't know when Brother Su is free, he can be a guest at my Chu State Wu family?"
Naturally, Wu Qida made an invitation.
"Thank you Brother Wu for your kindness, if I have the opportunity, I will definitely visit the Wu family. It's just that it's out of date now. ”
Su Lin declined, after all, now the big war between Wu and Chu is also on the verge of breaking out, and Yue has united Chu and Zou, and there are many threats to Wu.
However, after thinking about it, this is not an opportunity for Su Lin, if he can go to the Chu State and persuade the King of Chu to give up the alliance with the Yue State, it is not impossible.
"In this case, this is the token of the Wu family of my Chu country, no matter when, Brother Su, as long as he arrives in the Chu country, he will show this token, he will be the guest of our Wu family. ”
Wu Qida's face was not as thick as Xu Lingxiao's, so after seeing Su Lin's refusal, he first presented a token to express his intention to make friends.
"Good!"
Su Lin nodded slightly, and then didn't say much to Wu Qida, said goodbye, and returned to his private room.
"Brother Su, what do you think of this son of the Wu family of the Chu State? I have heard that he came to our Wu Kingdom, and he is generous enough, and he has made many family ......."
Back here, Xu Lingxiao seemed to have made up his mind to stay by Su Lin's side, so he sat down next to Su Lin and said with a smile while drinking tea.
"The Wu family has been quite excluded in the Chu State, and in recent years, there is not even a great Confucian in the family, so it is natural to seek other developments. ”
Su Lin smiled slightly, took out the token given by Wu Qida and looked at it again, and it was indeed filled with a pure military thought. However, compared with the kind of military trickery of Ji Shan and the Zhao family, the Wu family's military thinking seems to reveal more of the domineering of the military family.
"Interesting! Perhaps, it was because the half-saint Wu Qi's changes in the Chu State were too domineering, which would lead to being besieged by the upper-class families of the Chu State!" Su Lin sighed with emotion and put away the Wu family token again.
