Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

"Since you know that it is a capital offense to trespass on the important venue of the meeting, how dare you violate the prohibition?"

Qingji asked meaningfully.

Knowingly guilty?

Where did the businessman get the guts?
A 12-year-old boy dares to break the law, how can he pay back in the future?
Of course, Wu State didn't have any laws and regulations stipulating that trespassing on important venues is not allowed.

However, the charge of assaulting Wang Jia is a certainty.

It depends on whether Qingji wants to hold Bu Shang accountable.

Once Qingji is "in a bad mood", it is a matter of one sentence to execute the Bu Shang.

"Could it be possible, do you think that the widow will show mercy to you outside the law because you are only a 12-year-old boy?"

Facing Qingji's question, Bu Shang couldn't help but lower his head, then his shoulders trembled, and he replied tremblingly: "My lord, please forgive me!"

"Xiaomin knows that with ordinary methods, it is absolutely impossible to participate in the test and become an official of the Wu Kingdom, so he took a slant..."

"It's against the king's will, and it's not what the little people want."

Hearing this, Qingji waved his hand and said, "This is not an excuse for you to break into the important place of the venue and bump into Wang Jia!"

"Bu Shang, you are young and frivolous, so I don't have to care about you... I heard that you are the disciple of Kong Qiu, the Prime Minister of the Right, is it true?"

Bu Shang replied: "Your Majesty, Xiaomin dare not lie to Your Majesty. Xiaomin lost his father since he was a child, his family is poor, and he lives with his old mother. He has no way to read books, so he always borrows books from his home..."

"Thanks to Xiaomin's early wisdom, he could read at the age of three, break characters at the age of five, and recite the "Book of Yu" in "Book" backwards at the age of seven. study."

After a pause, Bu Shang said again: "At the beginning of this year's spring, Xiaomin, my mother, and a group of villagers were inspired by the great king's kindness and Wu's policy of benefiting the people, so they traveled a thousand miles from Wenyi to the south of Wu."

"Thanks to Mr.'s great love, Xiaomin was able to become a disciple of Mr. Confucius."

"Xiaomin is indeed the youngest disciple of Master. If the King doesn't believe it, just ask him and he will find out."

Qingji nodded slightly.

Bu Shang really didn't dare to lie like this.

After all, although Confucius had many disciples, who would dare to pretend to be a disciple of Confucius?
Confucius was the right prime minister in the state of Wu, and he held a high position and authority. There were not a few disciples who worshiped under him.

Confucius served successively as Daxing Ling and You Chancellor, which are not idle positions, but the government affairs are not heavy, so he can spare some time to recruit disciples and give lectures at Jixia Academy.

This is also what Qingji advocated.

How many Confucian disciples?

Qingji doesn't know.

However, although Confucius said that "there is no distinction between teaching and learning", he would not recruit all kinds of disciples.

If you don't have a certain talent, it is really difficult to get into the eyes of Confucius.

Especially at Bu Shang's age, unless he is very talented, he is not qualified to be favored by Confucius and become his disciple.

Those who have the opportunity to become a disciple of Confucius at the age of eleven or twelve are probably the princes of Qingji.

Their status is noble, so they will be treated specially.

According to Bu Shang, he was originally from the state of Jin. Because the various policies of benefiting the people of the state of Wu were spread to the countries of the Central Plains, his family moved to settle in Wu.

At the meeting, Bu Shang was favored by Confucius and became his disciple...

This is a scholar who is born precocious and can work hard.

He lost his father since he was a child, and lives with his mother, and often borrows other people's books to read. Isn't this just the counterattack of the poor?
It was also such an experience that Qingji couldn't help but take a look at Bu Shanggao.

"Bu Shang, you said that you can memorize the "Book of Yu" in "Book" backwards at the age of seven, and your memory is super strong, is it true?"

"Don't dare to lie to the king."

"Then, the widow will test you."

With nothing else to do, Qingji didn't mind talking to the Bu Shang to see if the latter was really talented, or if he was lying to himself.

"Yu Shu" is one of the components of "Shang Shu".

According to legend, it is a book that records the new dynasty before the Xia Dynasty—the Yu Dynasty.

"Shangshu", the earliest book titled "Book", is a compilation of works tracing ancient deeds.

Divided into "Yu Shu", "Xia Shu", "Shang Shu", "Zhou Shu".

Because it is one of the Five Classics of Confucianism, it is also called "The Book of Books"...

"Please ask the king to come up with a question!"

Bu Shang bowed to Qingji, but he was confident and fearless.

Seeing this, Qingji pondered for a moment, then said slowly: "You memorize the Yao Dian in the "Book"."

"promise!"

Bu Shang raised his head and recited loudly: In the past, Emperor Yao was clever and thoughtful, and he lived in the world.I will be inferior to Yu Shun, and write "Yao Dian"..."

"It is the order of Xihe, who looks like the sky, and the calendar is like the sun, the moon and the stars, and respects the time of the people. The order is divided into Xizhong, and the house is Yiyi, and it is called Yanggu..."

"The emperor said: 'Consulting! Siyue. I have been in power for seventy years. How can you be mediocre and disdain my position?' Yue said: 'I am not worthy of the emperor's position.' Said: 'It is obvious that the side is ugly..."

"Li sent two daughters to Guirui and concubines to Yu. The emperor said: 'Qinzai!'"

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

As soon as Bu Shang's words fell, Qingji couldn't help applauding and laughing: "That's right. Bu Shang, you are indeed capable."

"Just reciting articles, anyone who can read and write can do it, it's not a big skill."

"You recite the "Gao Taomo" in the "Book" to the widow
", remember, it is backwards..."

"promise!"

Faced with this kind of challenge from Qingji, Bu Shang was not afraid at all, and he recited "Gao Taomo" backwards verbatim.

After Bu Shang memorized a piece of "Gao Tao Mo" backwards, the huge courtroom was deadly silent!

There was complete silence!

After Qingji was silent for a while, he turned his attention to Young Master Heng who was sitting on his lower head, and asked, "Wu Heng, can you recite "Gao Taomo" backwards?"

"reluctantly."

Young Master Heng replied awkwardly.

He was indeed able to recite "Gao Taomo" backwards, but it was impossible to be so smooth, and there was a high possibility of making mistakes...

How old is Bu Shang?
Only 12 years old!
"Bu Shang, do you really intend to participate in this test and serve as an official in our country of Wu?"

"That's right! Please ask the king to complete it!"

Bu Shang knocked his head on the ground and said.

"Then you write a policy theory. Like the scholars who participated in the examination outside, there are four countermeasures: the immorality of the widow, the injustice of the officials, the inappropriate government, and the restlessness of the people!"

"promise!"

Afterwards, Qingji asked Su Wei to bring a low table, as well as a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and asked the Bu Shang to write his own strategy and theory there.

After about a stick of incense, Bu Shang submitted his strategy to Qingji for reading.

Qing Ji looked at this theory, neither nodding nor shaking his head, making it unpredictable.

To be honest, Bu Shang's policy theory can only be said to be quite satisfactory, not rigorous.

Bu Shang chose "the injustice of officials". Regarding the current government of Wu, Bu Shang suggested that Qing Ji open up his voice, follow the example of the sages, and set up the Dengwen Drum, so that the lower-level Li Shu can also leapfrog the ranks and even sue the king. shape".
