Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 297
"Picture of Shepherd Dragon?"

Hearing this, Hu Zhao's expression suddenly became serious, and his gentle eyes became sharp in an instant, his eyes were as cold as ice, and he stared at Mujing, as if he wanted to see Mujing clearly.

Of course, as a scholarly Confucian, he has a great skill in nourishing qi, and he quickly became as indifferent as water, and his voice was a little ironic: "I am just a wild man who has never had anything to do with the court. , what's the matter?"

There are basically no scholars in Luoyang who don't know Mujing. Among the scholars, Mujing's reputation can be regarded as resounding, but this name is not a good name.

Mujing first became famous in Taixue.

Taixue discusses the etiquette of politics, mad scholars and herding dragon pictures, arrogant and conceited, disrespecting elders, and heresy and crooked, but they are notorious.

Of course, this fame is only limited to the younger generation.

Many Confucians concentrate on reading the books of sages and sages, and don't care much about these battles for fame and fortune.

Mujing's real fame all over the world is due to the Yinzao and Jingping Study. The emergence of the Yinjian opened an era of books, and the Jingping Study opened up cultural commerce. Let countless readers benefit.

For example, Hu Zhao is one of them.

Hu Zhao offended the Yingchuan nobles back then, and his whole family came to live in Luhun Mountain. Of course, as a scholar who has achieved a lot in education and has an extraordinary reputation, even if he was forced by a wealthy family and could not gain a foothold in Yingchuan, he would not will starve to death.

The reputation of a great Confucianism is his background, and knowledge is his capital.

He opened an academy in Luhun Mountain. This is a private school with a small scale, but he has a reputation. He once became famous in Guanzhong Shilin and was praised by many people, not just Luoyang, Guanzhong Yingchuan, Chenliudong County, etc. Many people are willing to hand over their disciples to him for enlightenment teaching.

He also has dozens of disciples under his name, not only poor scholars, but some of them are disciples from aristocratic families. Although he had some disagreements with the aristocratic families and was even forced to stay away from his hometown, he had a broad mind and did not hold Some disputes over principles and ideas are placed on the younger generation. He recognizes a truth, and there is no distinction between teaching and learning.

But teaching is not a simple matter. There are more students, and more teaching materials are needed.

For teaching on weekdays, he needs to copy books. This is a very difficult and irritating job, so even if he is capable, he does not dare to recruit more students. If there is no supply of books, there is no teaching.

But since the appearance of Jingping Study, he has become much more relaxed. No matter what kind of Confucianism books, he can buy them from Jingping Study, and the price is very fair.

The appearance of Jingping's study made him firmly remember a name, Mushi Longtu.

Later, Mushan entered the capital forcefully, and his power was poured into the government and the public, but he left a lot of bad reputation for Shilin. He would often go to Luoyang to discuss politics with some Confucians. He didn't have a good impression of Mushan, so even if Mujing had The statements made by Zao Yin Jian and Jing Ping's Study also had some preconceived notions about Mu Jing.

"There are so many talents in the mountains!"

Mu Jing said with a smile: "Mr. Kong Ming is a great talent, so why don't you worship me!"

"So, Shizi Mu came to invite me out of the mountain?" Hu Zhao reacted quickly, his eyes were coldly looking sideways at Mu Jing.

There are quite a few people who want to ask him out over the years.

As the saying goes, the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. He has talent, learning and character, and he has a great reputation among scholars. Even if he is not as good as Yuan Feng, Cai Yong, Wang Yun and others, he will not be inferior.

How many aristocratic and wealthy families originally recommended him for an official career.

But he would rather stay here than not. He just wants to be quiet and wants to see the turmoil in this world as an outsider.

There are two ways out for scholars.

One is to want to leave a name in history with his official career.

One is to concentrate on studying knowledge and want to make a name for the world.

He is the second type. He may not want power, but he wants to be famous for his books, and he wants his books to be famous forever.

"Correct!"

Mu Jing frankly admitted: "Mr. Kong Ming has outstanding talents and learning. He should work for the welfare of the people of the world. Why sweep the house alone!"

"Brother Yiguan, if you come, I will open the door to welcome guests and drink good wine. You know, I don't care about world affairs, so why involve me in the muddy water!" After Hu Zhao was silent for a while, he ignored it. Mu Jing, instead looking at you as a teacher, said in a cold voice.

"Brother Kong Ming!"

Shi Yiguan didn't feel ashamed, he deserved his conscience, instead he advised: "Master Jijiu wants to invite you out of the mountain, this is my recommendation, in the past we gathered in Luoyang to discuss the affairs of the world, I never Forget brother Kong Ming's previous wish!"

"The Kong Ming of the past is long dead!"

Hu Zhao shook his head: "Hu Zhao today is just a countryman in Luhun Mountain. He should not be famous. My ambition is not in the court. Today I still have a student's work that needs to be reviewed, so I won't entertain the two of you. , please go back, both of you!"

As he spoke, he stood up directly and saw off the guests.

"Brother Kong Ming..." Shi Yiguan's face turned slightly, he knew that Mu Jing was not as easy-talking as he seemed, this young man was able to make a lot of trouble in Luoyang even if his father had not been stationed in Luoyang, and now he is even more tricky He was fierce, he didn't want his best friend to suffer.

"Doctor Shi!"

Mu Jing interrupted Shi Yiguan, stood up, shook his head slightly, then cupped his hands and said to Hu Zhao: "Since Mr. Kong Ming has nothing to do, let's visit another day!"

"Please!" Hu Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't expect Mu Jing to be so easy-going, which reassured him a lot. He didn't want to come out to you, but he didn't really want to offend this Luoyang upstart. Very enough, send it to the door.

Mu Jing and Shi Yiguan are walking on the mountain road of Luhun Mountain.

Shi Yiguan said in a low voice: "Master Jijiu, although Kong Ming has a bit of a stubborn temper, he is not arrogant. If there is something offended, please forgive me, Mr. Jijiu!"

"In your eyes, am I such a preoccupied person?"

Mujing smiled wryly.

It seems that his reputation in Luoyang is not very good.

He waved his hand, stopped Shi Yiguan from explaining, and asked, "How is this Hu Zhao's ability?"

"Brother Kong Ming's talent and learning can't be said. Whether it is calligraphy or Confucianism, he is far above me. He once sat down with Cai Yong to discuss learning. Even if he is not as good as Cai Yong's offering wine, I am afraid that there is a difference. Not many!"

Official Shi Yi didn't really care much about Mu Jing, so he said: "As for his ability, he offended the Yingchuan gentry, he can live so freely, and gain such a reputation among the scholastics, he must be obtained by ordinary Confucians. !"

"Then what is his ambition?" Mu Jing asked again.

Today, he and Hu Zhao just met each other once, and they didn't see many things, but the bearing they felt was extraordinary. This should be a talent, but it's hard to say to what extent.

"In the past, he was also a passionate scholar who was determined to make the world's wishes come true with his own efforts. Unfortunately, the imperial court hurt him too deeply, and now he is let go so negatively!"

Officer Shi Yi said in detail: "At the beginning, the establishment of the Hongdu School was suggested by him in front of His Majesty, and he was also responsible for it. After the establishment of the Hongdu School, it became the first front against the gentry. In the end, it failed. Retire with the whole body, but sacrifice one person, this person is Hu Zhao, Hu Zhao has been disheartened since then, and he will not take half a step into Luoyang!"

"There is such a thing!"

Mu Jing turned around, his eyes were like lightning, and he glanced at the courtyard that could no longer be seen, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised: "As long as you are sincere, gold and stone can be opened, are you talented? I will give you enough face, I don't believe it, You can stay."

……

The next day.

The weather suddenly turned cold, and the extremely cold winter is indeed over, but when spring comes, the tail of winter is still there, and there will be light snow in the sky in the early morning. This is the first snow in February. Maybe It is also the last snow of this winter.

The snowflakes are not big, and the very small snow will float for a while and not for a while.

On Luhun Mountain, in a private school.

Hu Zhao is in class, his students are of good quality, he is very serious in class, and he also explains very hard, one class after another, and soon at noon, there are students from Luhun Mountain , there are people who come to study from other places, but there are still many school houses built in the mountains, and they will eat in the school houses.

Hu Zhao also returned to the backyard for lunch.

"Husband, the boy from yesterday is here again, and he is waiting in the side hall!" the middle-aged woman said in a low voice.

"what?"

When Hu Zhao heard this, his face changed slightly. He thought that the matter had ended yesterday, but he didn't expect that there would be more to come.

"Let's do this!" Hu Zhao thought for a while, and said, "You ask the butler to tell him that I'm sick and I don't see any customers!"

He doesn't want to see Mujing, one is that he doesn't want to come out, and the other is that he can't afford to offend him.

"Husband, is this really all right? I heard that he is the son of the Marquis of Ming Dynasty. It is the Marquis of Ming Dynasty who has the most power in the court!" The middle-aged woman can be Mrs. Hu Zhao, she is not an ordinary village woman, she She is also from a small family, Biyu, who is knowledgeable and pays attention to the affairs of the court.

"Do not worry!"

Hu Zhao comforted with a smile: "My husband has such a reputation, and there is no conflict with them. They will not do anything to me. This will do them no harm, and will ruin their reputation among scholars. !"

He is an outsider, and he has put on the skin of a great Confucian, so ordinary people can't kill him.

"All right!"

The middle-aged woman brought in the housekeeper, and asked the housekeeper to notify Mu Jing.

Mu Jing was drinking tea in the side hall, when he heard the news from the housekeeper of Hu's house, he smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and said, "I see, if this is the case, then I won't bother you anymore!"

After Mu Jing left Hu's private school, he did not leave Luhun Mountain immediately. You have many families on Luhun Mountain. It is not difficult to borrow some houses with some money. He lived in Luhun Mountain that day up.

"My son, is a man from the mountains worthy of your attention?" Huo Shao really didn't understand how many important matters in Luoyang were waiting for Mu Jing to deal with, but Mu Jing wasted his time here.

"Is it worth it? That's your future. I'm just doing what I think I'm going to do!"

Mu Jing waved his hand, and lay down on a bed in a residential house without any distaste. Although he was pampered, he could not afford to suffer. He looked at the scenery outside and said, "This Luhun Mountain has a nice view, so let's treat it as a vacation." Alright, let's go for a stroll in the mountains in the afternoon, take a rest at night, and we will continue to visit tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

Huo Shao nodded helplessly.

"What?" Hu Zhao soon got the news: "You said that Mulongtu has settled down in Luhun Mountain!"

"Master, that boy borrowed the house of Shanxi Ye Lao San and gave him a full five pennies!"

Usually one thousand, that is five thousand dollars. For these ordinary people, they can't make so much money for several months.

"Husband, looking at this Mu Shizi, I have made up my mind!" The middle-aged woman said with some concern, "What should I do now?"

"What else can I do?"

Hu Zhao walked back and forth for a while, and said: "Since he is going to be exhausted, I will spend it with him, so that those students will not come to the academy for a few days, and rest for three days. Since they are pretending to be sick, they have to pretend In the end, otherwise, you will really offend the Mu family!"
