"Ah...this, I originally..."

Jiang Fan hurriedly said: "We agreed in Linjiang Pavilion that you wanted to test me. If I can write a good poem, you will accept this disciple. If my Linjiang Immortal's poem is good, you can

Wasn't the old man very happy at that time? Then he passed the master's token, the spring and autumn pen and black and white inkstone, to his disciple."

Zhang Zhiling opened his mouth and looked a little dull. He was a little confused for a moment. Back then... was this the case?

Mr. Jiang seemed to be a little anxious: "No, Master, you are still young. Don't forget things so easily. We agreed that you would come when I set up the school. How could we have started talking about running the school in the first place?"

What’s the matter?”

When he said this, Huangfu Zhaoye actually believed it. Yes, an old man in his nineties and a kid who was sixteen or seventeen years old at the time must have some reason for talking about teaching and educating people. Moreover, according to this statement

, the inheritance of Chunqiu Bi and Black and White Chinese is only reasonable...

"Ah...well, when we talked about teaching and educating people..."

Jiang Fan quickly interjected: "No, you finally remembered it. I thought you always drank too much and forgot about it. That's good, that's good."

Zhang Zhiling was really confused at the moment. What did I remember? Is this happening?

"I just said that I want to use some of my spare energy..."

"That's right. You always said that what you have learned must be passed on. I thought it was true at that time, so I proposed to run a school. Otherwise, what else would I do with all my hard work?"

At this moment, the camel lion was a little dumbfounded. I'm really sure you didn't say that at all, okay? But look at the old master, why does he seem to be stunned?

"At that time, I actually wanted to retire to the countryside and spend the rest of my life in peace... I just talked about it casually... but I didn't say anything..."

Seeing Zhang Zhiling becoming more and more confused, Mr. Jiang muttered to himself: "You said that you are only over ninety years old, and you think about taking care of yourself every day. It will be good for you to go out and do some activities. Let me tell you, the school can be started.

, there are more than 500 people in the first batch, and according to you, the recruits are all poor orphans. You can't just ignore it. Should you let the disciples disband on the spot and let them fend for themselves?"

Zhang Zhiling felt that his thinking was all messed up. He said one thing after another, impeccably. Could it be that he really said it at the time...

The empress held the teacup to her lips and did not drink it for a long time. Unknown to others, she heard Jiang Fan explain in detail the meeting between Jiang Fan and Zhang Zaifu.

It's not like that at all. They just liked him and gave him an inkstone as a gift. Why did the version suddenly change today? And it sounds like it's more logical than the previous version?

Huangfu Zhaoye couldn't help but interject at this moment: "Mr. Jiang, do you really just want the boss to teach?"

Jiang Fan looked at him doubtfully: "Yes, I've said it several times, why are you still asking? Do you have any objections? No, Old Master, you just said that you are here to visit friends, so you can't follow me

Stealing people, besides, Taiyue is not suitable for setting up a school."

Huangfu Zhaoye frowned: "Are you really not going to join the court or become an official?"

Jiang Fan seemed confused: "What dynasty do you want to join and why do you want to be an official? Master, he has already gone into seclusion, okay? If you want to be an official, why bother to sign up and go into seclusion? How can the Qin State give a bigger official? Really...

"

There is nothing wrong with this. Huangfu Zhaoye felt for a while that his trip was a little unnecessary. If he was just going to teach, there was really no need to go to war. After all, he understood that Zhang Zhiling was not that easy to deal with. And if he failed to force him, he would

He pushed it to Qin, and with his understanding of the five kingdoms of the world, Taiyue, and Zhou Dynasty, it became a huge problem.

But soon, he felt that this was not the case. No matter what, it was impossible for Zhang Zhiling to enter Qin. In name, he was teaching. If he was giving advice to Qin behind his back, who could guarantee it?

But what troubled him was that Zhang Zaifu was indeed loyal to the Zhou Dynasty and had been working for the Zhou Dynasty for decades, so it was unlikely that he would choose Qin. Especially, Zhang Zaifu opposed weapons and advocated peaceful reunification, which was inconsistent with the political views of the empress, so the possibility was almost non-existent.

But what's going on with this weird, inexplicable feeling...

The old master fell into all kinds of confusion and contradictions for a while, and his thoughts were in a mess.

At this point, the sick man suddenly opened his eyes slowly and said: "The Prime Minister has retired to seclusion. He has not yet received the imperial approval, and there are still countless things to do."

Huangfu's mind suddenly moved, and he suddenly understood what the sick man meant. Zhang Zaifu was indeed very involved and could not enter the Qin Dynasty under any circumstances.

In fact, not only Qin, but any of the Five Kingdoms could not do it. Even if he went into seclusion, he could only go into seclusion under the supervision of Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, Emperor Zhou ordered people to search for his traces everywhere.

As soon as he thought about this, his mind became clear, and he smiled slowly: "This is very true. It is common for people to resign from office, but it is appropriate to return to Mount Tai and write a letter to retire now."

Jiang Fan cursed in his heart, "Bullshit! Once Zhang Zhiling went up to Mount Tai, how could he come down? It's impossible to even think about it with the back of his head."

Just as he was thinking about what to do, Zhang Zaifu suddenly smiled: "There is no need to do this. Although I am the Zhou Dynasty's prime minister, I have a former Taiyue walking identity. Logically, I only need to explain it to one of the five elders. Today is just the day.

convenient."

He looked at the sick man: "Fourth Elder, you came at the right time today."

The sick man frowned and couldn't help but be speechless. He didn't expect that he had come by mistake, and instead presented him with an excellent opportunity.

"...Zhang Zhiling, as a Taiyue traveler, you have not yet handed over to your successor."

Zhang Zhiling chuckled: "Now Taiyue is my son who travels all over the world. After today, I will write a letter or go to Xia Kingdom to explain to my son."

The sick man's expression moved slightly, but he couldn't say anything. Zhang Zhiling pointed out this point specifically, saying, if my son can go to Xia, can I not go to Qin?

Logically speaking, the sick man has nothing to say. After all, Zhang Zhiling once walked for Taiyue, and now walking is still his son. Not only is a direct conflict unrealistic, but to be honest, he still trusts the Zhang family's loyalty to Taiyue.

.So in recent days, I just plan to bring it back with the help of Dazhou.

But now that his words were blocked, he didn't know what to do for a while.

At this time, Zhang Zaifu said to Jiang Fan: "Good disciple, but you have to say yes, you can teach, but I don't want to get involved in state affairs anymore. If you go, you have to agree to me, and you can't ask me for advice on the state affairs of the Qin State."

.”

The sick man and Huangfu Zhaoye both looked at each other. How could they not understand that Zhang Zhiling was expressing his attitude to reassure them.

However, his words of "good disciple" made Jiang Fan startled, and he was immediately overjoyed. He immediately said: "Where are you? I'm too lazy to worry about state affairs. Master, just teach hard. Don't worry, the disciple also has a fiefdom."
