The palace of Wei is located in the "eastern capital" city of Wei, whether it is the pattern or specifications, it is almost the same as the real palace city of a country, and the "eastern capital" is no different from the capital of a country.

The surrounding area of the "Eastern Capital" is naturally called the Gyeonggi Zone by the Wei Guozhong, and there is a small town called Nanfeng Town in the north of Gyeonggi, which was originally just an ordinary village and town that no one cares about, but after Xiao Jin made the capital "Eastern Capital", this place has become a very prosperous town in just a few decades, and it is completely worthy of the "Feng" character in the name, and it will be able to be promoted to a county in a while.

There was an old Confucian who no longer rode in a carriage, but walked into Nanfeng Town on foot with a bookcase on his back, which was not very conspicuous in this crowded town, and seemed to be not much different from those poor scholars who went to Beijing to take the exam, except for his age.

That's right, it is indeed to go to "Beijing" to catch the exam, as early as more than ten years ago, Xiao Jin, the king of Wei, has opened the imperial examination, and countless scholars from the poor family have been able to cross the dragon gate and stand on the temple of the Wei State, and Xiao Jin can also include countless talents in the hub.

This is a matter of killing two birds with one stone, and of course, this move is no different from the great rebellion of the small imperial court. However, for Xiao Jin, who has already made countless rebellious acts, this has become an inconsequential trivial matter.

The old scholar did not look for an inn to stay, but sat down on a stall on the side of the road, smelling the fragrance of the food and couldn't help but move his appetite, it happened that yesterday there was a ploughing cow in the town that died of old age, just reported to the government to be slaughtered, and there was still some beef in the shop, so the old Confucian simply asked for a large plate of beef and a pot of tea, put the bookbox aside, and then began to feast on the poor tea.

There are a few people in the shop, who are also eating cooked beef, and are also chatting about some of the hottest topics at the moment, naturally talking about the four great gentlemen of Confucianism today, after saying the respective merits and demerits of the four great gentlemen, it is reasonable to say that the other four great gentlemen do not compete for the position of the leader of Confucianism, especially the oldest gentleman Sun Shiwu, is the top priority of the topic.

However, here they are divided into two factions, one group of people think that Sun Shiwu, who is among the top of the list of heavenly machines, is a well-deserved Confucian leader regardless of his cultivation or seniority, and can completely determine the ownership of the leader of Confucianism, and the other group thinks that Sun Shiwu is only a master of cultivation, because he turned his back on Dazheng and surrendered to Daqi in his early years, he has a loss of virtue, and he has no shame to talk about this kind of thing.

The two sides argued, but the old Confucian who was feasting not far away stopped his movements and was silent.

A brocade-clothed boy holding a folding fan snapped and unfolded the folding fan in his hand, chuckling and changing the topic, "Don't talk about this, there have been some undercurrents surging in Jiangdu recently, I heard that the young master of the Sword Sect returned to Jiangdu with his princess daughter-in-law, and also handed over the power of the Sword Sect to the princess, but he closed the door all day long, I don't know what he was busy with, and now many people are speculating whether this Xu Gongzi was set up by the princess." ”

The old Confucian smiled slightly, and finally couldn't help but interject: "According to the old man, these are all nonsense, maybe it is the means of that Xu Gongzi Golden Cicada to get out of his shell." ”

Walking the rivers and lakes, the most important thing to pay attention to is four types of people, the elderly, monks, women, children, the old Confucian occupies the old man's point, so when he spoke, these monks who walked the rivers and lakes did not speak badly, but smiled at each other, which was exactly the same as Xu Beiyou's choice at the beginning.

The young man smiled and asked, "What does the old gentleman mean by this?" Could it be that Xu Gongzi is not in Jiangdu City at this time?"

The old man drank all the remnants of tea, shook his head and said, "It's hard to say." ”

A woman asked, "Then according to the old gentleman, if that Xu Gongzi is not in Jiangdu, where will he be?"

The old Confucian said softly: "It's hard to say, now the mountains and rains in Jiangdu are coming, look at this posture, Daomen is going to have a fight with the Sword Sect in Jiangdu, and it is reasonable for this Xu Gongzi's whereabouts to be secret." ”

The young man holding the folding fan snapped and closed the folding fan in his hand, and asked a little tentatively: "Listening to the old gentleman's accent, it seems that he is not a native of our Wei Kingdom. ”

The old Confucian had nothing to hide, so he simply nodded and said, "Yes, I came from the Central Plains to visit friends." ”

The young man stretched his voice slightly, and asked again: "The old gentleman is going to the 'Eastern Capital'?"

The old Confucian snorted, and then seemed to think of something, waved his hand and said: "I can't afford the word 'old man', my surname is Sun, you can call me Lao Sun Tou, or Old Man Sun, it's okay." ”

The young man smiled slightly awkwardly, and instead of shouting out the word "Old Man Sun", he removed the last word "head" and called him "Old Man Sun".

The old man smiled and agreed, and then began to continue eating.

}j;永;久U$ free/.fee d~Look at the small ☆.say

There were no other words from either side.

After a while, the old Confucian ate a large plate of cooked beef, drank most of the pot of tea, got up to settle the bill, and said goodbye to the men and women who met in Pingshui, "The old man has something to do, he has to take the first step, although after today's farewell, most of them are difficult to see again, but the old man still has to say another word, let's meet in the future." ”

After finishing speaking, the old Confucian got out of the stall and walked towards the outside of the town.

Nanfeng Town is less than ten miles away from the "Eastern Capital" of Wei State, and he has traveled all the way, in order not to make trouble in the city, he has never shown half of his supernatural powers, and he has also tried his best to restrain his own qi, so he is not fast, and even a little slow.

But no matter how slow it is, there will be a time when this road will come to an end.

From Chunshan Port to the "Eastern Capital", along the way, the old man saw a lot of scenery along the way, and had to admit that the Wei King's governance methods were not inferior to the current His Majesty who created a new government, if he did not start a sword for his own selfish desires, then it would be a virtuous king who could go down in history.

It's a pity that there aren't so many ifs.

If the first emperor died under the iron hooves of Xu Lin's Northern Expedition to the grassland, would this world still be surnamed Xiao?

If the shepherds conquer Zhongdu, will this world still be surnamed Xiao?

If Lu Qian won the battle of Dingding, which decided the ownership of the world, would this world still be surnamed Xiao?

The old Confucian answer: no.

But there are no ifs in the world.

Therefore, Xiao Jin is bound to make a big swordsmanship.

Some people may ask, in this case, what is he still doing in Wei? Is it to send him to death?

Maybe.

Is it stupid?

Not stupid.

Sun Shiwu sighed and said to himself: "Life is in the world, there are things to do and things not to do. To put it bluntly, it's about doing what you think you should do. ”

"Where the Tao is, although thousands of people go to me. The people's connection, the righteousness, do not lean into power, regardless of its interests, go straight, regardless of reputation, know that you can't do it, the whole country and don't change your eyes with it, you will die and uphold righteousness without remorse, although you die, you have no regrets. ”

"Some things have to be done, even if these things seem stupid, but because there are too many smart people in the world, if everyone is so smart, they all know how to know the times as a handsome, they all know how to judge the situation, and they all know how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, then is there any hope in this world?"

"You can't retreat when you should die, and when you die, you die, if you are cowardly when it is your turn to stand up, everyone is like this, then not only the country is over, but the world is also over, this is the death of the country and the world. ”

......

Although the majestic "Eastern Capital" is not comparable to the imperial capital, it is almost the same as the northern capital at the end of the four capitals, and can be called a majestic city.

It's just that today, this majestic city is like a great enemy, just because there is an old Confucian student carrying a bookcase outside the city.
