Chapter 16 I Have Three Aspirations!

With the hair blown by the cool wind, a more feminine face appeared.

Zuo Qiuming, that's his name.

Among the scholars, he is the most ordinary one, without a noble status, and without the guidance of a famous teacher.

He once wanted to go to His Royal Highness, but was kicked out unexpectedly, and became the laughing stock of Sichuan for a while.

Just because of his humble status, the prince doesn't use him, what kindness?all fake!

However, today I was invited by the third son to come to the third son's house as a guest.

The third son is very famous in Jinguan City, and the words of that poem made countless scholars cry.

Afterwards, many people wanted to visit the third son, but they didn't have the chance. After experiencing what happened to the son, Zuo Qiuming felt that he would not have this opportunity either.

The descendants of these princes are all the same!

However, just last night, Xu Jiuchang sent someone to find him, saying that the third son invited him to Chanchanju as a guest.

This is Xu Jiuchang's inn, which was taken from the Banque Ci written by the third son.

"The rain is gurgling outside the window, and the feeling of spring is fading. Luo Qun can't bear the cold just before dawn. In his dream, he doesn't know that he is a guest, and he is greedy for joy all day long..."

In the upper pavilion of Chan Chan Ju, there is murmuring water outside and the wonderful sound of incense burners inside.

The two tables are full of uneaten pastries, facing Zuo Qiuming, Jiang Xubai pours himself a glass of wine.

"Mr. Zuo, please."

Seeing Zuo Qiuming's slightly embarrassed look, Jiang Xubai smiled slightly.

"Thank you sir."

Pour yourself a glass of wine, Zuo Qiuming toasted Jiang Xubai.

Putting down the wine glass, watching Jiang Xubai eating pastries, Zuo Qiuming hesitated.

Sudden invitation to himself, Zuo Qiuming would not believe it if he said that he had nothing to ask for, but Jiang Xubai looked like he really was, just an invitation to drink.

The third young master wanted someone to drink with him, even though he had just returned to Shu and hadn't become famous, there were still a lot of people who wanted to come.

Zuo Qiuming only has one question, why him?I am poor and have nothing to do.

"My son has read Mr.'s "Minlun", and he is indeed a great talent in the country, so I specially invited you."

Noticing Zuo Qiuming's doubts, Jiang Xubai showed a trace of doubts, and said: "But Mr. is so talented, why is he so downcast..."

This is knowingly asking.

When inviting Zuo Qiuming, Jiang Xubai had already found out what happened to him. The reason why he asked this question was to draw out that bad memory and pave the way for his next words.

"..."

Zuo Qiuming's chest heaved for a while, and that memory came to his mind again, it was his sore spot.

"Your Majesty doesn't need..."

All emotions are written on the face.

It wasn't that the son didn't use it at all, it was that the son didn't see him at all, because he didn't have money to give the guide, so he was thrown out directly.

"If you don't mind, sir..."

Paying attention to Zuo Qiuming's expression, Jiang Xubai said: "I can introduce my father to my master."

Hearing Jiang Xubai's words, Zuo Qiuming's expression relaxed, and he turned his head to look at Jiang Xubai, not seeming to be fake.

"Son..."

Although I don't like high-ranking officials and rich salary in my heart, I think that once my "Min Lun" is accepted, many people in Sichuan will be able to get rid of poverty.

Well, this recommendation, he will continue no matter what!
"Thank you sir!"

Thinking about it, Zuo Qiuming stood up, tidied up his appearance, and then respectfully bowed to Jiang Xubai.

"Sir, you don't need to be too polite. I have been friends with you for a long time after hearing that Mr. Wang has a high opinion."

Immediately helped Zuo Qiuming up, and then Jiang Xubai sat next to Zuo Qiuming, and the two started talking again.

What is discussed is also the content of "Minlun".

In fact, the main content is not much different from that of Taoism, both of which focus on supporting the people and disapprove of the state's violent actions.

As he spoke, he took a sip of wine from time to time.

This is one of the ways to enhance the relationship. Why did so many monarchs and ministers collapse together in ancient times?Of course it's for exchanging feelings.

Zuo Qiuming thought he had found a bosom friend and was very happy.

At this time, Xu Jiuchang knocked on the door and saw that Xu Jiuchang was carrying something, but Zuo Qiuming didn't notice.

"Young master, the early bird version you want."

Jiang Xubai glanced at the things Xu Jiuchang brought in, and signaled that Xu Jiuchang could go out.

"Early bird... what?"

Zuo Qiuming didn't hear clearly, turned his head and asked.

"Taking the meaning of 'the early bird gets the worm'."

Hearing Jiang Xubai's explanation, Zuo Qiuming nodded and said with a smile: "Young master's words also have the meaning of the way of heaven and nature. Sure enough, you also learn from Taoism?"

Jiang Xubai smiled and said nothing, turned around and handed the things Xu Jiuchang brought to Zuo Qiuming.

"??"

Zuo Qiuming took it, feeling very surprised...

A piece of yellow paper, thin and soft, and then, he suddenly understood the function of this thing in his heart.

This is the intuition of a literati. Could this be the paper used for writing?
"This--"

Just as he was about to say something, he saw that Jiang Xubai had prepared a pen and paper.

Glancing at Jiang Xubai, the shocked Zuo Qiuming immediately leaned over, dipped his pen and ink, and wrote the three characters "Chanchanju" on it.

Compared with cloth and bamboo slips, this paper is much more convenient, and it is not as difficult to write on as the previous paper.

And the characters are not out of shape, very clear, although the paper is very thin, but the ink does not see through the back of the paper.

"Young master! This is..."

Zuo Qiuming looked at Jiang Xubai excitedly, if this kind of paper can be popularized in Shu country... No, this kind of paper can be popularized in the whole world, Zuo Qiuming can't imagine what kind of impact it will have.

So much so that now Zuo Qiuming's thoughts are chaotic.

Although it is just a small piece of paper, it can affect future generations through the ages!It will be famous in history!

At this time, Jiang Xubai comforted Zuo Qiuming: "This is new paper, and it will be popularized in Sichuan and the world in a short time."

This is the paper made by Xu Jiuchang, which is better than the one made by himself.

"Grand...Young Master, I, on behalf of the scholars of the world, thank you, Third Young Master!"

This time it is not bowing down to salute, but kowtowing. It is on behalf of the world, and the scholars of the world are grateful.

Helping Zuo Qiuming up, Jiang Xubai sighed, "Mister, do you know my ambition?"

Zuo Qiuming was startled for a moment, and after calming down his emotions, Zuo Qiuming saluted and said, "I don't know what your ambition is, my lord?"

"I have three ambitions."

Looking at Zuo Qiuming's respectful expression, Jiang Xubai spoke slowly...

"The important affairs of the country are all done by me! One too!"

The first sentence made Zuo Qiuming stunned.

Governance is up to you...

This is something only a king can do, and even some kings can't do such a thing!
Could it be that the third son wants to seize the position of the son?
Jiang Xubai's undisguised first sentence stunned Zuo Qiuming, no less than the previous piece of new paper.

But before Jiang Xubai finished speaking, he continued with a calm face.

"Explore the land and unify the countries! Two Ye!"

"To make a living for the common people, to create peace forever! Three Ye!"
