The second tornado rises in Chang'an Chapter 297 The root of the disease is here
"Xue Yuanjing?" Lu Chen touched the beard on his chin and looked at him, looked up and down at the middle-aged man dressed as a literati, and then nodded, "Xue Yuanjing, a member of the Xue clan in Hedong, Xue Shui's nephew, and Xue Shu and Xue Deyin are known as 'Hedong Sanfeng', I don't know, how is your uncle Xue Shu doing recently?" Lu Chen looked at Xue Yuanjing with a smile and asked.
Although Xue Yuanjing and Xue Shui are now members of the eighteen bachelors of the Li Shimin Literature Museum, but in the end, their identities are only bachelors of the Literature Museum, even if they have positions in the Mansion, they are only Li Shimin's retainers, not to mention that Xue Shui has been in poor health in recent years, and Xue Shui died in the eighth year of Wude, this Xue Shui and Fang Xuanling are friends, and Xue Shui is also recommended by Fang Xuanling in the Literature Museum.
But at this time period, Xue Yuanjing's reputation as the so-called "Hedong Three Phoenixes" is only in the Hedong area, in Chang'an City, who knows who they are, being so believable by Lu Chen, not only Xue Yuanjing was stunned, but even Li Shimin was stunned, after all, Xue Shui and Xue Yuanjing have not been in the Literature Museum for too long, and it stands to reason that Lu Chen should not know them, but Lu Chen just relied on his name to make Xue Yuanjing's origin clear, and couldn't help but look at Lu Chen in confusion.
"This Xue Yuanjing, Xue Wenshi, this father makes you seem a little useless, so what is the use of you telling this father?" Lu Chen, who was still smiling, suddenly turned cold and looked at Xue Yuanjing, "Are you a professor of Linzi, or do you do something that benefits the country and the people?" Cheng holds the book of sages, criticizes this, and comments on that, which is called a useful thing? ”
"We are literati, and we should be accomplished in learning!" Xue Yuanjing was forced to ask by Lu Chen, and replied directly.
"Accomplished? What are your achievements? Got a book? Standing? Lu Chen continued to ask without concessions, "Cheng held the book and said, Zi said, do you know what Confucius or Mencius really mean?" Don't you care about your own thoughts? Lu Chen sneered and looked at Xue Yuanjing, "Since you think you have studied well, then this father asks you a question, can you answer it?" ”
"Why not?" Seeing that Lu Chen actually wanted to test himself about the Sage's remarks, he suddenly came to his senses, and looked at Lu Chen with his chest and replied.
"The son is said to be rare by those who know virtue!" Lu Chen looked at Xue Yuanjing and smiled slightly, and said this directly, and suddenly not only Xue Yuanjing, but even other scholars who had read the "Analects" of these literary museums also fell into deep thought, of course, including Li Shimin, I didn't understand, why Lu Chen would take out such a clear sentence.
"This sentence is from the "Analects of Wei Linggong", such a simple sentence, I didn't expect Lu Xiangong to use it to verify us!" Hearing Lu Chen's question, Xue Yuanjing couldn't help but smug his beard and laughed, "This sentence is Confucius: 'From, there are few people who know virtue', but it is a sigh that there are too few people who know virtue!" Xue Yuan finished his salute and looked directly at Lu Chen.
Others nodded their heads, after all, in their understanding, Confucius's words also meant this.
"Huh!" Unexpectedly, after Xue Yuanjing was very complacent, Lu Chen sneered directly, "You are Confucius's sigh, but this is Confucius's criticism!" Lu Chen looked at Xue Yuan and said, "This father thinks that this sentence should have been like this for Confucius at that time, 'Those who know virtue are rare'!" Lu Chen finished and looked directly at Xue Yuanjing.
"'By those who know virtue, fresh', 'by, those who know virtue are rare'..."Everyone recited Lu Chen's broken sentence, and compared it with the broken sentence they knew, according to what they thought before, this sentence is Confucius's sigh, but if it is according to Lu Chen's broken sentence, that is, Confucius is criticizing the princes, monarchs, local scholars, doctors and officials and other people in power, and the appointment of talents is not "meritocracy", "meritocracy", "meritocracy". "Foolishness" and "profit".
"This..." was just such a short sentence, and two meanings appeared, which directly stunned Xue Yuanjing and the others.
"Dead reading!" Lu Chen looked directly at Xue Yuanjing and the others and snorted coldly, "What the predecessors are, you can learn what you are, how can there be progress at all?" We learn knowledge, but not everything can be copied to know whether this knowledge is right or wrong! ”
"Then what did Wei Linggong ask Confucius, and why did Confucius leave? Don't look at the correspondence before and after, just by yourself in that mind, what kind of reader are you called! Lu Chen snorted coldly.
Lu Chen's words directly made a group of undergraduates break out in a cold sweat, after all, they entered the Literature Museum and were courteous to Li Shimin, all in order to have a high-ranking official who can stand on top of the court in the future, but unfortunately they were directly hit by Lu Chen's words.
Suddenly, the entire Cefu hall became silent, including Li Shimin, who looked at Lu Chen quietly, as if it was the first time he saw Lu Chen, and Lu Chen at this time was obviously different from the easy-going appearance he saw in Lujiazhuang.
"These words of this duke do not mean to attack or satirize you, you are all people who assist the King of Qin, you must not be too dead to study! That's all! Lu Chen said to these people.
"I'm not such a person with a belly in Lu County!" Hearing Lu Chen's words, Cheng Yanjin on the side smiled directly and jumped out, with Cheng Yanjin making such a gag, the scene was not as deadlocked as just now.
"Su Guogong, there is still an account between you and me!" Lu Chen looked at Cheng Yanjin and said with a wicked smile.
"It's all a thing! It's all a thing! Being laughed at by Lu Chen, although he felt a little hairy in his heart, he still said haha.
"Duke Lu Xian can come to this king today, this policy mansion is full of brilliance!" Li Shimin also said with a smile, and suddenly the scene eased a lot.
Lu Chen looked at Li Shimin, and Li Shimin immediately understood Lu Chen's eyes, "This king wants to do something with Lu Xiangong alone, everyone is gone!" Li Shimin waved his hand directly at the members of the Strategy, and after everyone saluted Li Shimin, they walked out of the main hall, and the bachelors of the Literature Museum walked while still reminiscing about Lu Chen's words just now.
"Keming, you stay!" Just when Du Ruhui was about to walk out of the door, he was directly stopped by Li Shimin.
Du Ruyan turned around for some reason, he couldn't understand why Li Shimin wanted to talk to Lu Chen alone, why did he still leave himself, but he still walked back honestly.
"Lu Xiangong, this is not the place to speak, how about we go to the side hall?" Li Shimin looked at Lu Chendao.
"The guest is as he pleases, so naturally he listens to His Highness's arrangement!" Lu Chen said with a smile.
Only Du Ruhui was still standing there with a blank face, and his expression was obviously there, what am I doing?
"Keming, you come along!" Li Shimin naturally noticed Du Ruhui's expression and looked at Du Ruhui directly.
"Yes!" Du Ruhui hurriedly answered and followed behind Li Shimin and Lu Chen.
Li Shimin took Lu Chen and Du Ruhui to the side hall, Li Shimin sat in the main seat, Lu Chen sat in the left hand position, and Du Ruhui stood opposite the two.
"Keming, sit!" Li Shimin directly pointed to the chair on the side and said, since he sat on the chair in Lu Chen, Li Shimin also got a lot of furniture from Lujiazhuang.
"Your Highness!" Du Ruhui sat on the chair on the other side.
It didn't take long for a servant girl to come and serve tea.
"Lu Xiangong came to find this king, is it for the matter of Changyuan Building?" Li Shimin picked up the teacup, took a sip, looked at Lu Chen with a smile and asked.
"Exactly!" Lu Chen was not verbose, and responded very simply.
Hearing the words "Changyuan Building", Du Ruhui's eyes narrowed, peeked at Li Shimin, and then looked at Lu Chen, Du Ruhui's heart suddenly understood why Li Shimin shouted to stop him and left himself.
Moreover, a few days ago, Li Shimin suddenly found himself to inquire about the Changyuan Building owned by the Du family, and Du Ruhui suddenly figured it out, at that time, Du Ruhui was still wondering, how could His Royal Highness the King of Qin suddenly be interested in Changyuan Building, it turned out that the root of the disease was here in Lu Chen.
However, Du Ruhui also admires Lu Chen, their Du family is different from other families, other families like to have a relationship with Li Jiancheng, but their Du family is on Li Shimin's side, and I don't know if it is because of Du Ruhui, or the patriarch of the family is really optimistic about His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and directly bet on His Royal Highness the King of Qin.
At that time, when Du Ruhui returned home to inquire about Changyuan Building, the patriarch also asked him why he was interested in Changyuan Building, Du Ruhui did not evade, and directly asked Li Shimin about the matter with the patriarch, and the patriarch also gave Du Ruhui a reassurance, if Li Shimin was really interested in Changyuan Building, he would not mind giving this Changyuan Building to Li Shimin, but unfortunately, Du Ruhui put this matter with Li Shimin, Li Shimin directly shook his head and smiled, and told Du Ruhui that he didn't need Changyuan Building, At that time, Du Ruhui was directly confused.
Now seeing Lu Chen sitting here, Li Shimin mentioned Changyuan Tower again, Du Ruhui understood it, and after half of it, it was not His Royal Highness the King of Qin who was interested in Changyuan Tower, but the Chang'an County Duke opposite him.
"Could it be that the county prince of Lu is interested in Changyuan Building?" Du Ruhui saluted Lu Chen and asked directly.
"A little interested!" Lu Chen nodded unobtrusively, "It's just that my father's interest is not to get Changyuan Building, but to talk about business with your Du family, I don't know if your family is interested?" ”
