Chapter 166: I Wish to Die Calmly!

Xiao Man has not passed,

Looking at the terraced fields halfway up the mountainside, it is just right, the raindrops fall and roll up a faint ripple under the grass, and occasionally the carp emerges from the water and spits out the blisters to swallow the insects, it was originally a quiet mountain village scene, but there is no rural villager, it is the time when there are countless students in long shirts in the fields who can be seen wearing long robes carrying bamboo Lou on their backs and stepping on the muddy mountain road and slowly climbing the steps.

The student's accommodation is at the foot of the mountain, every day of admission is to climb the mountain and walk, the mountain road winds and turns, not much more and no more good steps, often study three days a day, the sky is not clear to spend most of the hour to climb the mountain, at the foot of the mountain there is a huge stone engraved with the words of the sub-saint awakening world, the sky will descend to the great task of the Si people, must first suffer its mind, work its muscles and bones, starve its body and skin, empty its body, and act chaotically, so it is tempting to endure and benefit what it cannot.

Before entering the school,

No matter how tired you are,

Every student must tidy up their clothes first,

If you look closely, every student is,

The crown is knotted, the socks are tied,

Ceremony, music, archery, royal, book, number,

is a gentleman's six arts,

Since the former Meng Fuzi was a sacrificial wine, it is to carry forward the Jixia School Palace to the extreme, in the early years, he traveled all over the world to make countless friends, invited friends after the sacrifice, and there are friends of the master and son to teach in the Jixia School Palace, and there are fewer scholars who are full of pedantic spirit and no power to bind the chicken, but there are a lot of rangers who travel the world with a book in their left hand and a sword in their right hand.

Now it's the end of the hour,

Outside the gate of the mountain behind the Jixia School Palace, there was a man in regular clothes standing quietly, and when he left the palace, hundreds of guards and forbidden troops with long knives hanging from their waists did not wait on the left and right, but stopped at the foot of the mountain, and only the Emperor Qi was left at the door of the quiet back mountain.

Outside the mountain gate, raindrops fell on the iron armor and splashed everywhere, the black cloth lining was already soaked, hundreds of forbidden soldiers stood silently in the rain with knives, and there was no one under the plaque of the Jixia School Palace.

"Commander Wan, now Your Majesty has been on the mountain for a day and two nights. ”

"Are we really just waiting here?"

The deputy commander of the forbidden army moved two steps, looked at the mountain from afar, frowned, after all, His Majesty is just an ordinary person who has not cultivated, not to mention anything else in this day and two nights, I am really afraid that His Majesty's body will not be able to hold on.

"What does Deputy Commander Liu mean mountaineering?"

"Your Majesty said a long time ago that there are no soldiers in the Jixia School Palace. ”

"You don't have any jokes. ”

The commander of the surname is still standing safely in the rain.

"But if something happens to your majesty on the mountain, then ......"

"There is no such thing as a case!"

Ten thousand surnames lead the railway.

"Deputy Commander Liu is a little late with His Majesty's side, I don't know what kind of status the School Palace has in His Majesty's heart, as long as there is a day when Master Meng is there, then the Jixia School Palace is the safest place in Daqi. ”

The Commander of Ten Thousand Surnames muttered,

Looking up at the plaque of the Jixia School Palace, I was a little distracted.

Qianmo field,

An old man dressed as a Confucian man sat in the ridge with a hat and sat leisurely, listening to the sound of the rain and the sound of reading in the school hall above, and the faint music in the mountains, which was very pleasant.

"Cai sacrificial wine, Your Majesty is now back in the mountain. ”

"Let's go and persuade!"

The one-year-old master walked up to the leisurely Cai Xianjiu and sighed.

"I can save Your Majesty's temperament, how can I persuade it?"

"Mengfuzi's temperament is even more so, how can I persuade him?"

Cai Saijiu also shook his head helplessly when he heard the sound.

"Yesterday it didn't rain much, but it rained all night. ”

"Your Majesty is approaching the year of the Mandate of Heaven. ”

"The bones of the body...... Alas......"

The old master stroked the white whiskers on his chin and bowed in the direction of the back mountain.

"That's it, I'll go to the back mountain. ”

Cai Xijiu lifted the hat and got up and walked to the back mountain, when his eyes fell on the carp in the rice field, he shook his head with a wry smile, took off his socks and went to the rice field, looking at the old man who was over half a hundred years old, his hands were indeed very steady, and in less than a dozen breaths, he caught two carps, and walked to the back mountain with a straw rope.

"Your Majesty, I've been waiting for a long time. ”

"If Master Meng really wanted to see His Majesty, he would have left the mountain a long time ago. ”

"Why bother?"

After the prostration,

Cai Saijiu found a place that was not wet by the rain and lit a fire, and the fish in the rice fields before autumn were not fat enough but they were fresh and tender, and they handled it lightly, and the movements were even extremely skillful.

The gentleman's far away kitchen is Yasheng's words to persuade people to practice benevolence, and I don't know who misinterpreted it as a ridiculous word, I can't bear to kill, and it is indeed not absolute, after all, people always have to fill their stomachs, and they can't always starve to death in vain when they get to the wilderness, right?

"It has been ten years since Meng Fuzi entered the back mountain. ”

"I once said that I didn't ask the government ......"

"I'm willing to wait. ”

"I also believe that Meng Fuzi has the Qi country in his heart. ”

Qi Huang Tian Heng smiled, his tone was a little weak and weak, he looked at it carefully, his face was pale, the regular clothes on his body had been soaked by the rain, the big sleeves were wrinkled on his arms, and his gray hair had been exposed and was wet by the rain and stuck to his back, looking like a down-and-out old man, how could he have half of the majesty of the court.

"Your Majesty, why wait in the rain?"

"Even if you don't hold an umbrella?"

"Sincerely!"

"Earlier, I had the privilege of listening to the Master's lectures. ”

"After all, I can barely be regarded as a student of the Master. ”

"It's funny, now the apprentice's embarrassed appearance is more sincere, and when the master sees it, he can be softer. ”

Qi Huang Tian Heng shook his head with a wry smile.

"Now Your Majesty is in a hurry to see Master Meng, is it because of the matter of going to the party?"

Cai Xijiu asked.

"Naturally. ”

"Could it be that the whereabouts of those 200,000 people have changed?"

Cai Xianjiu's brows furrowed when he heard this.

"There are no more 200,000 people. ”

"What does Your Majesty mean?"

Cai Xianjiu said in disbelief.

"All the 200,000 sons of my Daqi were buried in the party!"

Tian Heng shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"This ......"

Cai Xianjiu breathed rapidly, and his body trembled slightly.

After a few sticks of incense,

The breath of Cai sacrifice wine stabilized,

"Your Majesty, I've been worried lately!"

Cai sacrificial wine put the carp on a wooden rack,

straightened the robe on his body and bowed.

"Whew, stay in the palace for a long time. ”

"Now my mood is much calmer. ”

Tian Heng took a deep breath, in front of him was a bamboo forest, raindrops fell, there was a sound of beating leaves through the forest, and the fresh air carried the light fragrance of bamboo leaves.

......

I don't know how long it took,

The sound of "Zizi" under the bamboo forest on the side came,

The firewood is very strong,

The surface of the fish is slightly charred and shiny,

Cai Saijiu took out a bunch of bottles and cans from his cuffs, carefully sprinkled the powder, smelling the tempting fragrance, Cai Saijiu took a deep breath and stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, let's eat something. ”

"Rice flower fish. ”

Tian Heng's heart moved slightly,

He licked his pale lips, but still smiled wryly and shook his head.

"It's not as good as the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the palace. ”

It was indeed Mengfuzi's favorite food before entering the back mountain. ”

Cai Xijiu said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, taste it. ”

"I'm full, and I have the strength to wait a little longer. ”

"Minister, accompany you. ”

Cai sacrificial wine is very serious to carry out the courtesy of the monarch and ministers and said in a deep voice, the original sacrificial wine is a kind of sacrificial activities, the longest one set up the main seat, facing the sacrificial gods, and then the Qi country set up a school palace, and the school palace set up a post of sacrificial wine, which opened the door to study for the people of the world, and this identity can be described as extremely noble.

In the eyes of the literati of Qi State, the Jixia School Palace is the highest institution, and there are many people from the school palace above the court.

"I will taste the craftsmanship of Cai sacrificial wine. ”

Tian Heng took the grilled fish, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it lightly, and raised it to his mouth casually, the heat was just right, the burnt fish skin was crispy in the mouth, and the fish meat was tender and juicy when he bit into it, but it was also a shallow taste.

......

Smoke rises from the mountainside,

It's time to get there,

The student in the long robe slowly descended the mountain,

But there was still no movement in the back mountain.

Houshan,

The purest place in the entire Jixia School Palace,

It is also the hidden place of Mengfuzi,

There are no pavilions and pavilions in the mountain, but there is a wooden house in the middle of the mountain, through a bamboo forest dozens of zhang away is a waterfall that falls from the mountain, the water splashes are innumerable, there is water overflow in the deep pool below, the gurgling water flows around the stream, the wooden house frame carries a faint water vapor above the flowing water.

The wooden houses are not sure to contain thousands of books,

The world's only books do not know how many but they are all hand-copied,

On one wall of the wooden house, there are several portraits of sages, and there is a simple incense burner with a fairy spirit on the table, at this time, the green smoke is curling, and a thin old man in plain cloth is writing a sage article, there is a breeze blowing outside the window, and the sound of turning books in the wooden house sounds.

Meng Fuzi looked up at the pages of the book opened by the wind,

Looking at the last line on the page,

The hand holding the pen paused,

With a soft snap, the ink-soaked brush hovered in the air for too long, and a drop of ink fell and landed on the snow-white paper, and the ink quickly dispersed along the fibers on the paper.

After closing his eyes for a long time,

Rub your cheeks,

Closing the pages with a wry smile.

The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light.

At the end of the page is the sobering words of Yasheng Dizi summarizing Yasheng's words and deeds, and Mengfuzi's paused pen fell on the paper, and the vigorous handwriting fell on the remaining paper.

Stop your wrist and put down the pen, quietly look at the words on the paper,

"The gentleman is light, and the people are noble. ”

He stood up slightly stunned, walked to the west window and looked at the south of Qi Guo, turned around and looked at the sentence on the desk paper and read it softly, and put it in his arms after the paper was dry.

"Squeak squeak......"

The door of the wooden house was pushed open,

"In addition to the Tian clan, there are countless dawn people in Qidi. ”

"The people are only Bangben, and Bengu Bangning. ”

Meng Fuzi muttered.

No matter what the intention of this time is, for the sake of thousands of people in the land, the old man went down the mountain and walked on it. ”

When the voice falls,

Mengfuzi has reached hundreds of zhang away,

In just a few breaths, we have reached the back mountain portal.

"Master Meng!"

Tian Heng, who was standing at the gate of the back mountain, looked at the old man in cloth clothes who suddenly appeared in front of him, and exclaimed in surprise.

"Student Tian Heng, I've seen the master!"

"Student Cai Xin, I've seen the master!"

The old man in the cloth clothes looked at Tian Heng, who was extremely embarrassed, caressing his white beard, and a trace of imperceptible embarrassment flashed in his eyes.

"The old man already knows about the party. ”

The voice is not old, but with a hint of warmth, and the old man in front of him is very thin, but the bookish air on his body can't hide the bones.

"Master, why?"

"Zeng toasted and was also the master of the Jixia School Palace. ”

When Tian Heng heard this, he suddenly opened up and talked about Mengfuzi in the Jixia School Palace, and his teacher is also a person who is all over the world, although he has lived in the back mountain for a long time, a lot of news is also saved.

"In the first battle of the party, the students were ashamed to meet the people of the country, and in the end, the 200,000 sons and daughters also had wives and children and old mothers in their families, and now it is indeed such a bleak situation. ”

As the saying goes, thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace. ”

"As everyone knows, it is a king's sin for the people to live poorly. ”

"The sins of the students are great. ”

Tian Heng smiled bitterly.

"Now that the matter has come to this, it is useless to say more. ”

Meng Fuzi nodded,

There is still some relief to Tian Heng's current attitude.

In fact, the students also know the truth of the master's entry into the back mountain. ”

"The reason why Jixia School Palace is Jixia School Palace is because it does not intervene in the court, and it can get a pure. ”

"But now that Daqi is in danger, the students can only make the master go against his will like this. ”

The breeze is coming,

Meng Fuzi's cloth swayed lightly, and his long beard raised slightly,

The body is to read the vicissitudes of mountains, rivers, lakes and seas,

Like a breeze opening a thick book,

There are countless stories in it,

After all, Meng Fuzi is also a person who has lived for one hundred and twenty years,

In the first half of his life, he held a book and a sword, and carried wine in the rivers and lakes,

In the second half of his life, he taught and educated people all over the world,

When the monarch of the Great Qi Kingdom saluted,

The thin body didn't move half a minute,

Instead, he accepted the salute calmly.

"The old man can kill His Royal Highness the Qianguo outside Yong'an with one person and one sword. ”

"Are you really not thinking about it?"

Looking at Tian Heng, who was in charge,

A hint of relief flashed in Meng Fuzi's eyes.

But he said abruptly between the flow of thoughts.

The voice fell,

There was silence for a long time,

"Master Mengzi, no need. ”

"The students have made their choice. ”

Bow down and bow again,

With a relieved chuckle on his face.

"No regrets?"

"No regrets!"

"Although more than 400,000 soldiers of my Daqi have been buried in Shangdang, only 300 cavalry students still have the confidence to stay, but if that person really dies in Qidi, the 200,000 iron cavalry in Delu County will go south again......"

"This time I went south, and he couldn't tolerate me. ”

"But students don't want to see a fragmented Qi realm. ”

I believe that the Master does not want to do that. ”

"If the lives of students can be exchanged for the future stability of the Qi country. ”

"It's also superb. ”

"To say a selfish word, the student also hopes that Chun'er can be the king of my Daqi Zhongxing as Cai Xijiu said, and the student is willing to use this life for Daqi in exchange for a respite. ”

"Now I have gathered thousands of people to fight against the same enemy!"

"Now I have more than half a soldier!"

"Now I'm ready for everything!"

"I only owe a good teacher!"

"Student Tian Heng!"

"Please also ask the master to come out of the mountain and supervise the country!"

Tian Heng straightened his shirt and solemnly made a student salute.

"I, I am willing to die calmly!"

Tian Heng waved his sleeves, turned around and looked out, and took in the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in Daqi.
