I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 36 Receiving the "Gift Bag" that Confucius gave

It stands to reason that the Zhao, Wei, and Han families lost so many troops in the civil war, while the Zhi family had almost no losses. Zhi Zhi shouldn't be so cowardly.

What is more realistic is that Zhibi’s character cannot be tough, and considering that Zhishen, the master of the next generation of Zhishi, is also a weak person, what Zhishi needs to do is to stay dormant and not easily follow the trendy Zhao's face is tough.

Aggrieved must be aggrieved, and the reality is also the reality. There is a little comfort for the members of the Zhi family and their retainers that there is still Zhiyao worth looking forward to.

"Li Er had a very good saying, saying, 'Heaven wants him to perish, he must let him go mad'." Zhixuan called a meeting of the main clansmen and retainers of the Zhi clan to stabilize the internal affairs.

What?That sentence "Heaven wants it to perish, it will make it crazy" was actually said by Lao Tzu?

It may not have been before, but with this version of the traveler Zhiyao, that sentence was indeed said by Lao Tzu himself.

Laozi was still "Father Huang", obsessed with studying all things in nature, and his theory of "Tao" took shape.

If Lao Tzu can write a great book in "Father Huang", it is inevitable that his name will be left in history, and it is inevitable that he will be recorded as belonging to Lao Zhi's family.

It's a pity that Lao Tzu didn't know what he felt, so he asked someone to bid farewell to Zhi Shi on his behalf, and took his entourage back to his former residence (Chu State).

This time, Lao Tzu really left, and I don't know if he will come to Zhi's as a guest again.

Zhixuan didn't specifically name him, but those who understood understood Zhao Yang clearly. It was all because after the civil war came to an end, Zhao Yang became more and more arrogant and domineering.

"Your Majesty has bestowed many honors on Zhongjunzuo, why?" Fuguo asked.

Now there is no such thing as "adding nine tins, crowning ten crowns", just to have an audience with the king of a country, you still need to enter the court and sign up for worship.

The current nobles almost never leave their swords, and taking off their footsteps when entering a house is a basic etiquette, so "walking on the sword to the palace" is not a great honor.

What Fuguo mentioned was that the monarch specially granted Zhao Yang the privileges of "not meeting each other" and "praying without being famous", which further increased the prestige belonging to the Zhao family.

Zhibi frowned and glanced at Fuguo, saying that it was impossible to answer.

He's just the master of the small sect, if he doesn't hold account for some of the things he did before, how can he still dance like this?

Fu Guo simply asked and answered by himself, saying: "It is what the Lord said, if the sky wants to perish, it will make it mad."

This time Zhibi was even more unhappy.

Although those present were either the core members of the Zhi clan or trusted retainers, didn't the head of the family just mention it in a vague way?What's the matter with naming names!
Today, besides stabilizing everyone's mentality, Zhibi also has to make arrangements for what the family will do next.

Still the same sentence, Zhishi needs to stay dormant, but it doesn't mean it will do nothing. Keeping a low profile externally is a strategy, and internal development must be carefully planned and implemented instead of being left behind.

"When your heirs are over six years old, they need to be summoned and sent to Yao's place." Zhixuan said.

One sentence stunned many people.

After the coronation ceremony, they almost got married. None of them had a few sons, and even many had grandchildren.

What did Zhixuwu think of first, and asked: "Master, but to 'father Huang'?"

Regarding the fact that Zhiyao has a group of schoolmates, perhaps not many people noticed before, but after Zhiyao's performance, especially the last time the family was cleaned up, many people suddenly appeared to take over the vacated positions. It's hard to keep them from paying attention.

They found that there were still some familiar young men among that group of people, who might be from members of the clan who were not valued in the clan, or children of retainers or "scholars" or "disciples". They disappeared for a while and then reappeared. It is the mastery of knowledge that even the elders are surprised, and it can be used practically.

With Zhi Xuwu's reminder, some people who thought they wanted their sons to be "protons" reacted and quickly agreed, and their hearts were full of expectations.

"Master, is there a finite number?" A clansman asked.

This made Zhixuan stunned, thinking: "That's right, Yao didn't say the number of people."

The clansmen and retainers of Lao Zhi's family definitely do not want to have a limit on the number of people, and wish that their descendants can have the opportunity to learn.

And Zhiyao actually let the old Zhijia enter the era of private schools in advance. Don't look at such a small move, "fast forward" six or seven hundred years, or even more than one thousand and five hundred years!

It was not until the Western Han Dynasty that the private schools of the family accepted ordinary people to study; it was not until the Northern Song Dynasty that the large-scale admission of non-ethnic people became the norm.

"Is it the original version of the "Tao Tao Jing"?" Zhiyao did not participate in the family meeting, holding the unfinished work left by Lao Tzu before he left.

Dao can be Dao, very Dao; name can be famous, very famous.

Have you heard of it?

Zhiyao has the "Tao Dao Jing" written by Lao Tzu in his hand, and it is still an incomplete version!

If this "draft" can be properly preserved and preserved until modern times, how can it be regarded as a priceless treasure?Take it out for auction, the auction price of the incomplete version is definitely higher than that of the complete version.

Of course Zhiyao is no stranger to the "De Dao Jing", but like many people, she can't remember the whole chapter.

In fact, the same is true. Even if you have specially memorized it by rote, you will forget most of it after a long time. It is not bad to remember a few complete sentences.

"Is this my plan to go west?" Zhiyao thinks that must be the case.

Of course, the current Hangu Pass is not the same one as the well-known one.

There are three Hangu Passes in history, the first one is Taolinsai Pass established during the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the second Hangu Pass was established after the Qin State captured Hexi, and the third one was established during the Western Han Dynasty Hangu Pass.

The one in Taolinsai still exists at the moment. If Lao Tzu leaves Huahu in the west, he will pass through Hangu Pass like this one.

The current Hangu Pass is within the territory of the Jin State, but the control is in the hands of the Yin family of the Zhou royal family.

So maybe that's not true either?Now it is considered an area under the rule of one country, and it is necessary to build a city and have artificial traces, such as reclaiming farmland.

In human terms, only a certain range of the city represents the ownership of the power, and a place without a city means that there is no owner.

So, Hangu Pass, one of Yin's fiefdoms, is located in the cracks between many cities in Jin State. It's a little strange, but the situation is like this.

"Laozi is gone, Confucius is here..." Zhiyao was very happy to have another guest who was a good teacher, and she was also really happy because Confucius brought more than 200 disciples.

In this day and age, it's nothing to bring dozens or hundreds of people with you when you go out. Whoever can bring more than 200 people who are not only literate but also able to fight is truly awesome!
"There are more than 200 cultural people with their own strengths!" Zhiyao has already figured out how to make use of them, and increase the scale of the private school!
By the way, will this make all members of the Zhi family "Confucianized"?

Zhiyao fell into deep thought.
