Chapter 4 Are you sure you are reading "The Analects of Confucius"? !

If you hear the Tao in the morning, you can die in the evening. This is a very famous saying in "The Analects of Confucius".It means that if you realize the Tao in the morning, you will be willing to die that night."Tao" in this sentence refers to all laws and principles in the universe.

Zhang Chengli chose this sentence as the first question because he didn't want to embarrass Zheng, but it is not difficult for anyone who has read the Analects of Confucius to answer.

In the end, he still miscalculated.

Because what Zheng feared was reading "Yuan Yu"...

Zheng Xing replied with a smile: "This sentence means that if you know the way to your house in the morning, you will die in the evening!"

Everyone: "!!!"

"Cough, cough, cough," Zhang Chengli coughed violently after hearing Zheng Horn's answer, almost choking on his own saliva.

What the hell? !
The meaning of this sentence is obviously not this!
"This..." Zhang Chengli calmed down for a long time before he finally recovered. He looked at Zheng Horn with a ghostly expression on his face, hesitated for a moment, and asked again: "Then, Ziyue, the violent tiger Feng He , I don’t agree with you. What’s the explanation?”

Zheng Xing continued: "A person who can fight tigers with bare hands and cross the river alone is not worthy of fighting with me!"

Everyone: "..."

Zhang Chengli's eyes widened, and he asked again: "The Master said: Stand at thirty, don't be confused at forty, know the destiny at fifty, listen to one's ears at sixty, and follow one's inclinations at seventy. What's the solution?"

Zheng fear replied: "Thirty people are worthy for me to stand up and fight, forty people I rushed up without hesitation, fifty people hit until they know that I am the destiny, sixty people hit until they are in my ear As long as I am happy to say good things, I can beat seventy people as I like."

Zhang Chengli, Wang Yuanwai and Wang Jun suddenly turned pale with shock.

Are you sure you are reading "The Analects of Confucius"? !

"The Analects read by the hero..." Zhang Chengli shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Maybe it is not the same book as the one I read... Thinking about the great virtues and talents of Confucius and Confucius, how could he say such words?"

This is actually normal.

After all, during the Northern Song Dynasty, the rulers of the Song Dynasty pursued a policy of emphasizing culture over military affairs, and continued to increase the promotion of Confucianism. Therefore, Zhang Chengli, the founder of Confucianism, was naturally extremely respected.

Hearing Zheng Horn's explanation at this moment, Zhang Chengli was naturally extremely disdainful.

But I heard Zheng Xing say: "The Analects of Confucius read by Mr. Zhang is probably an incomplete Analects."

"Oh?" Zhang Chengli's eyes widened when he heard what Zheng fear said, and he asked anxiously, "What does the hero mean?"

Zheng fear said slowly: "Records of "Historical Records": Confucius was nine feet and six inches long, and everyone calls it different from person to person. "Liezi" records: Confucius refused to hear it with force; "Huainanzi" records: Confucius Zhiguo Changhong, bravely surrendered to Meng Ben, tiptoed around the suburbs, and tried his best to recruit Chengguan; "Book of Rites Sheyi" records: Confucius shot in Qu Xiang's garden, covering the viewers like a wall."

"No matter which historical material it is, it shows that Confucius was a warrior with extraordinary courage and outstanding martial arts. Moreover, Confucianism and Taoism advocate the six arts of a gentleman, which are rites, music, archery, imperialism, calligraphy, and mathematics."

"Think about the Spring and Autumn Period when thieves were everywhere. If Confucius couldn't fight them, how could he travel around the world?"

I have to say that what Zheng Horn said really subverted people's imagination, but it was quite reasonable.

As the founder of Confucianism, Confucius has many records in history.

No matter which records, it is said that his martial arts are "strength can attract the gates of the country", and the so-called gentleman's six arts, archery is archery, and imperial chariot is imperial chariot, which is the chariot of the Spring and Autumn Period, the one with four horses kind.

No matter how you look at it, it is impossible for Confucius to be an image of an old man full of culture.

According to what Zheng Xun said, Confucius should be more like a muscular image of a big brother in society with three thousand younger brothers running rampant in every hall during the Spring and Autumn Period.

If you can reason, then you should reason; if you can’t, then you should talk about physics.

"This..." Zhang Chengli was immediately stopped by Zheng Xing.

Even if he doesn't admit it, the six arts of a gentleman are actually passed down. Confucianism has never said that archery and imperialism are not important.

At this time, Wang Tong quickly smoothed things over: "My lord, you may not be reading the same book, so it is normal to have some deviations in understanding."

"That's right, that's right," Zhang Chengli said with a smile, borrowing the donkey from the slope, "Maybe that's the case, come, come, have a drink."

Although he said so, Zhang Chengli did have some doubts in his heart.

Is that Confucian sage really such a strong man who "can attract the gates of the country"?

Several people drank for a while.

Zhang Chengli turned the subject, looked at Zheng Xing, and asked with a smile: "When I saw the strong man today, I really think that the strong man is a great talent, but I don't know what the strong man will do in the future?"

What are your plans?

Isn't it simple?

Gather 72 idlers and 3000 disciples, give them away!

Zheng Xing said with a smile: "I really want to open an academy to teach and run schools, so as to pass on what I have learned."

Zhang Chengli: "..."

Are you capable of opening a martial arts gym to teach people Kung Fu, or opening a bodyguard bureau, but you actually want to open an academy? !
Are you passing on the fallacies and heresies in your head?

I believe you a ghost!
"But I didn't expect the hero to have such an ambition!" Zhang Chengli was a person who talked about people and talked about people. Although he didn't agree with him much in his heart, he definitely didn't show it on the surface.He slapped his thigh hard, and said: "It just so happens that I am busy with official duties, and that rebellious son is negligent in discipline, which makes me extremely headache. Now that Zheng Yingxiong has this ambition, I wonder if he is willing to accept my rebellious son as a disciple and let him follow along with me." Hero learning?"

Hearing what he said, not to mention Zheng fear, even Wang Tong and Wang Jun were stunned.

what's the situation?
Mr. Zhang didn't say he was complaining about his son's injustice, but he actually asked Zheng Xing to be his son's teacher? !
You must know that in this day and age, it is not a joke to be a teacher for one day and be a father for life!

If the parents are not there, the teacher can really come to see him as a father!
"This..." Zheng fear touched his chin immediately, he looked at Zhang Chengli, and said with a smile: "That's fine, since my lord has asked, I can't refuse."

"Okay!" Zhang Chengli immediately slapped his thigh again, and raised his wine glass: "Then toast to Mr. first! Of course, I will not let Mr. busy in vain, and pay ten taels a month, okay?"

Zheng fear nodded and raised his glass: "Yes, do it!"

……

night.

In Zhang Chengli's study.

When Zhang Youdao heard that his own father had actually called Zheng Xing his teacher, he immediately cried out: "Father! You are so confused! You actually called that mud-legged man my teacher?!"

"Hmph," Zhang Chengli, who had been drinking at Wang Yuanwai's house before, was still drunk at this moment, he glared at Zhang Youdao, and snorted coldly, "I'm doing this for your own good, you don't want to be ignorant. "

Zhang Youdao said anxiously: "Is this for my own good?! All right, all right, I admit that Zheng Ke can indeed fight, but so what? A martial artist, father, you are a magistrate, why should you be afraid of him!"

"I'm not afraid of him," Zhang Chengli wrote the word "steady" in a thin golden font stroke by stroke on the white paper. You, listen to what my father tells you."

Zhang Youdao hurriedly sat down: "Father, tell me."

"This Zheng fear, indeed, has the courage of all men, and this is one of them."

"Secondly, the Zhou Dynasty has become more and more arrogant in the past two years, oppressing the people to collect money crazily. I warned him several times, but he completely ignored it. You can’t move him easily. Now that you have this Zheng fear and your force is at its peak, as long as you build a good relationship, it will be much easier to clean up that Zhou Dynasty in the future.”

Zhang Youdao thought for a while, then nodded immediately: "That's true, Dad, is there any more?"

"Of course," Zhang Chengli continued to practice calligraphy, and said while writing, "Thirdly, if this Zheng fear can win the Zhou Dynasty and manage the group of rogues in an orderly manner, it will be enough to show that he is both civil and military, and he is qualified to be my boss." The big tree of the Zhang family. On the contrary, it shows that he is indeed a simple-minded martial artist, and it is no problem for me to touch him in the future."

"Three birds with one stone!" Zhang Youdao's eyes lit up, "Father, you are the best!"

"It's more than killing three birds with one stone." Speaking of this, Zhang Chengli sighed softly, and said, "I have always told you before that to be a person, one must be able to observe words, be cautious, plan before acting, and have a long-term vision. It's a pity that you Didn't learn anything."

Zhang Youdao scratched his hair and said, "Father taught me that."

Zhang Chengli continued: "The reason why you are humble as a father is because of the fourth reason."

Zhang Youdao: "There are four more?!"

Zhang Chengli said: "I have been the county magistrate for my father for more than 16 years. Our Qinghe County is not far from the Liao Kingdom. The Liao Kingdom has strong soldiers and horses. I suspect that in a few years, the Liao Kingdom may go south in a large scale. The current imperial court in our country emphasizes If the Liao Kingdom really goes south, how can we resist the wind of light martial arts?"

Zhang Youdao was completely stunned this time.

He really didn't expect his father to think so far.

That's right, if the Liao Kingdom really attacked the Song Dynasty at that time, with the current atmosphere of the Song Dynasty, how would the military officer's position in the court resist?
"So," Zhang Chengli sighed, and said, "Zheng fears that he is so majestic as to overwhelm a mountain, and has the courage to swallow thousands of miles like a tiger. If Daliao is really difficult, we will establish a good relationship with him and use his ability to protect us." There is absolutely no problem for the whole family to escape safely. As a father, you are making a way out for our Zhang family, otherwise, if something happens, who do you count on? The Zhou Dynasty? Or our Qinghe county's group of useless government servants?"

Zhang Youdao really rarely heard his father talk to him in such a serious manner, he also understood what his father meant, nodded immediately and said: "My child understands."

Then he asked again: "But father, do you really think that this Zheng fear... really has such a great ability?"

Zhang Chengli smiled and said, "So what if it doesn't work? One more choice, one more insurance."

"Tomorrow, you prepare a carload of heavy gifts and come to the door. Remember to apologize to Wang Yuanwai first, and then formally pay respects to Zheng Xing!"

"From my father's point of view, then Zheng fears that at least in terms of force, I will not be second-guessed in this world. Once I recognize you as a disciple, I will keep you safe in the future!"

"As for that little lady Wang, although my father didn't see her today, but I think a beauty loves a hero, and you will treat her as a mistress in the future."

At this time, Zhang Chengdao also knew that his father's words were not a joke. The little lady of a landlord's family in the district is naturally incomparable with the safety of his own family's foundation. He immediately saluted and said with a smile: "I understand! Tomorrow I will go to apprentice! If you meet Wang Xueyan, the boy will definitely rush up and shout one after another!"

Zhang Chengli: "..."

A child can be taught, this shameless kung fu finally has three points of skill as a father!
