Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 59 Selection of Instructors Five

In today's world, the Han court still holds the orthodox ruling position, and as the court's enemies, the Yellow Turban Army has already been defined as rebels.

Scholars have always paid attention to etiquette.

Monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, this is the righteousness of Confucianism, and scholars are respected.

Therefore, the Yellow Turban Army rarely has scholars to join.

Even some scholars who don't know how to feel sad will regard the yellow scarf as a serious problem of the imperial court and want to drive it out.

Although Jiang Lu is a scholar, he is not rigid. He lives at the bottom and shows a lot of helplessness, but he is not very cold towards the Yellow Turban Army. Although he does not like the wealthy family, he respects the court law. It is the anti-thief.

He condescends to this slum in Sifangli, but he has a lot of connections among scholars and is well-informed. Since December last year, the most popular name in Wuyin County is Mushan.

Mushan has always been a big thief among the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Nanyang, and he is wanted by every county town.

Last year, Mushan suddenly led his troops to attack the county seat.

After the First World War, the power in Wuyin County changed. The Zhu clan, the emperor of Wuyin and the leader of the gentry, was exterminated, which caused an uproar among the shilin.

Later it was said that Mushan died when he attacked the county seat.

But there are also people who say that Mushan Golden Cicada escaped its shell and changed its name to Zhang Chuan, and transformed itself into a county lieutenant in the county government.

He was quite well informed. He learned from a scholar in the county government office that Zhang Chuan was Mushan. He had been surprised by this for a long time, but he had never entered an official career. He was just a scholar.

He didn't expect Mu Shan's son to come to his door.

"Let's go!" Jiang Lu has a very tough temper. If he doesn't like it, he doesn't like it. If he doesn't agree with him, he immediately chases him away, saying: "Although I, Jiang Haoming, am just a down-and-out scholar, I dare not associate with thieves!"

His name is Haoming, which was given to him by his enlightenment teacher when he reached the crown, but few people know it in recent years.

"Old man, there is a thief when you open your mouth, and there is a thief when you shut your mouth, you are looking for death!"

Tan Zong was a little out of breath, holding the hilt of his sword and staring angrily.

"Brother Tan, what are you doing, don't be rude in front of Mr., back off!" Mu Jing hurriedly shouted.

"Humph!"

Tan Zong snorted coldly, took a step back, and looked sideways at Jiang Lu. He didn't like this humble scholar at all. The so-called No. 1 of Wuyin's humble family was just a rotten scholar who followed suit.

"Sir, what is a thief?"

Mujing has a good temper, and was not irritated by Jiang Lu's temper, he just asked indifferently.

"The Yellow Turban Rebellion brought disaster to the world. Countless people lost their homes and lost their lives because of it. This is a crime, and the perpetrators are thieves. Moreover, while you resisted the tyranny of the imperial court, you burned, killed and looted ordinary people. Isn't it the act of a thief?"

Jiang Lu asked back.

"Then let me ask again, sir, why did the Yellow Turban Rebellion come to this?"

Mu Jing smiled coldly: "It's the fault of the great virtuous teacher, or our fault. Don't we want to live a peaceful life where the sun rises and rests day in and day out? It's hard for any member to lick blood from a knife and was forced to this point. It's because we can't survive!"

"You said the Yellow Turbans are thieves, yes, you are right, we are thieves!"

"But what we want to steal and grab is not money, but peace. Who can give it to us, the court?"

With every word, Mujing gradually gained momentum, and he would not lose to anyone when it came to rebuttals. As long as he didn't endorse in plain text, he could be regarded as a college student full of knowledge, and a college student who had analyzed this period of history countless times.

"This young man's words are so sharp, he must be someone who is ignorant and incompetent. I didn't expect the rebel Mushan to have such a unicorn!"

Jiang Lu's face was very gloomy, and his eyes flickered with a complex light. Looking at this young man with fighting spirit, he felt a little bit of guilt in his heart for no reason.

He is not a scholar who follows others.

He has his own vision and judgment.

He had found countless reasons for the Yellow Turban Rebellion. He could think that Zhang Jiao was bewitching the people, but one of them was the imperial court's stupidity.

But he just doesn't want to admit it.

Because he is a scholar, according to Confucian principles, the emperor and the minister should not doubt the emperor, which is disrespectful.

"Sir, even if we take ten thousand steps back, we are thieves!" Mu Jing continued: "Isn't it because of this that sir is unwilling to teach us? Master said, there is no distinction between teaching and learning, sir. Don't you know? What do you mean?"

"Teach without discrimination?"

When Jiang Lu heard this, his breath was slightly suffocated.

This is a sentence from the Analects of Confucius. Mu Jing refuted him with this, but he had nothing to say, after all, he could not refute the classics left by the sages, otherwise he would be cast aside by the scholars and unable to gain a foothold in the scholars.

"Young master, the water is ready, please drink water!"

At this time, the child Tong Jiang San came out from the small kitchen not far away, holding a pot of boiling hot water in his hand, holding two broken porcelain bowls, poured two glasses of water, and handed one to Mujing, The somewhat stiff atmosphere between the two parties was interrupted.

"Really sensible!"

Mujing smiled and touched the child's head, and said in admiration.

"San'er, come back!" Jiang Lu didn't dare to let his own child get too close to the young head of the den of thieves.

"Oh!"

The child Tong Jiangsan returned to his father obediently, stood beside his father, and looked at the boy who was much older than him in front of him curiously.

"Sir, this time I came here with sincerity!"

Mu Jing said: "When the Yellow Turban Uprising was right and wrong, no one could tell whether it was right or wrong, but the Yellow Turban Army failed. We accepted the result. Our fathers were all thieves. This cannot be changed. Unless we can overthrow the imperial court, then we Young people of this generation don’t want to be called thieves, if we want to be good, I don’t know if the master is willing to teach me!”

"Do you want to be kind?" Jiang Lu was suspicious and smiled coldly.

"No one is born willing to be a thief!"

"Thief is hard to change!"

"Difficult to change doesn't mean you can't change it. It depends on your ability, or is your so-called eloquence just to fool some nobles, who have no ability to teach people knowledge and guide people to be good?"

"A certain family knows how capable a certain family is, and you don't need to provoke a certain family!" Jiang Lu snorted coldly: "A certain family does not accept this kind of trick!"

"Then you don't have the guts to come to our Jingping Village?"

"In a certain life, if you don't do anything wrong, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night, you won't be able to go anywhere, even if I go to Jingping Village, what can you do to me!"

"Sir, did you agree?" Mu Jing responded quickly.

"Young Master Mu, are you trying to trick me?" Jiang Lu's expression trembled slightly, and he became a little apprehensive looking at Mujing.

"Mister is a great talent, rare in the world, I will naturally stalk him, and I must not let him go!"

"I need to think about it!"

Jiang Lu said in a deep voice.

It is undeniable that what Mujing proposed attracted him.

He thinks he is a scholar with a strong character, who can withstand oppression, injuries, and temptation, but he has the weakness of a scholar.

Scholars have a good name, and many scholars are willing to give their names for their fame.

If it is true as what Mu Jing said, their generation of yellow scarf youths has the heart to be kind. If he can teach and guide them, he will definitely leave a mark in history in the future. This is what a scholar dreams of.

"Then I'll be waiting for you at Jingping Village!"

Mujing stood up and bowed to salute: "It's already afternoon, sir should still have class, I won't bother you, let me take my leave first, as for this gift, I think you will like it, if you don't like it, then I will give it to you." It was abandoned beyond the wilderness!"

After speaking, he stepped out, and Tan Zong followed behind him and also walked out.

After the two walked out of the door, Mu Jing stood up and looked back at the hut with a playful smile on his lips.

Tan Zong asked in a low voice: "Young master, this person has such a stubborn temper, and he regards us as thieves, and always wants to set a clear line with us, will he agree?"

"will not!"

Mu Jing said indifferently: "His eyes tell me that the so-called thinking about it is just a stopgap measure, and he will not agree to my request!"

He has seen countless such statements in the mall, and he can tell the truth from the fake at a glance.

It seems that Jiang Lu is unwilling to join forces with him.

"The young master is still so polite to him?" Tan Zong's face was serious, with killing intent, he said: "I'll kill him!"

"Behead him, go and pay me a scholar!"

Mujing said a little angrily.

Reading can make you understand, and reading allows you to gain insight, so these days, officials are basically scholars. A person who does not know a few big characters may be able to charge forward and become a vanguard general, but he cannot be a small county magistrate.

Therefore, scholars will be superior to others.

Why is this era called the era of aristocratic families, because the aristocratic families control [-]% of the world's scholars and control most of the world's officials by passing on knowledge.

Mujing can't do anything about it, it's impossible for some reckless people to do what he wants to do, he must find some educated scholars to do it, but the educated people in Jingping Village can count on one hand, Most of them are readers who only know a few words.

So now he pays some attention to Liu Bei Sangu's aggrieved feelings.

Talented people are so arrogant.

"Didn't the young master say that he won't agree?"

"It doesn't matter whether he agrees willingly or refuses unwillingly, since I've taken a fancy to him, he will become a member of my Armed Forces Hall, otherwise, I'd rather destroy him!" Mu Jing's character has always been so domineering, Only then will he achieve the achievements of his previous life.

"Brother Tan, go and do two things for me!" Mu Jing said in a deep voice.

"Please take orders from the master!"

Tan Zong's eyes lit up, and he quickly cupped his hands.

Mu Jing bowed his head into his ear, and said a few words in detail: "You go to find the people in the city... Then you ask Lei Hu to take a few people and wait outside the city. When you see him going out of the city, bring him back immediately. Go to Jingping Village."

"Understood!"

Tan Zong took the order and went quickly.

……

Among the huts, under the banyan tree.

"Gift?"

Jiang Lu looked at the big red brocade box, pondered for a while, and then opened the brocade box. There was no gold or silver in the brocade box, so he had a better impression of Mujing. He, he will not even bird him.

"Father, these are all books!" The child Tong Jiangsan flipped through them, there were four books in total.

"Correct!"

Jiang Lu looked at these books, and flipped through them lightly. Looking at some of the contents, his tense face relaxed, and a look of excitement appeared in the corner of his eyes, and he said with a sigh: " The "Spring and Autumn Annals" annotated by Dong Gong himself is the only one in the world, and it is the only one among the orphans. There are also these three books. Only Cai Gong has an orphaned copy of "The Difficulty of a Guest" in the world. This should be a rubbing, but even if there are not many rubbings in the world, I didn't expect him to get it. There is also this "Zhou Li", which is hidden in the world. Not much, I wanted to read it in the past, but it was difficult to read it, it is rumored that Mrs. Zhu has a copy, if I am not wrong, they copied the mansion of Mrs. Zhu and got it!"

This big gift gave him a bit of a dilemma.

He didn't want to go to Jingping Village. The real reason was that he didn't want to get involved in the struggle between the Yellow Turban Army and the gentry. This kind of struggle was too cruel, and with his identity, as a scholar from a poor family, he had a great reputation among scholars. If you vote for the camp, it is a lifetime thing.

Accepting this gift is against morality.

but no charge...

He was not reconciled.

The thing that he had been looking for for a long time and couldn't get it fell from the sky, and he couldn't bear to throw it away.

The so-called scholar is the fame that comes from reading. He is a poor scholar. It is too difficult to read a book. He stole all his knowledge when he was a child. They are all in the hands of the noble family, he has a high character and is unwilling to bow his head, so naturally he can't read many books.
