Chapter 33 Zhou Tianzi(1/2)
The human race is in the human race, and the human race is the protagonist of the world. After years of accumulation, the immortals from the famous mountains and rivers in the past dare not act rashly in the face of the human race's general trend.
The world's rituals and music collapsed, but Luoyi, as the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was still the center of the world.
At this moment, two carriages stopped under Luoyi City.
Four people came out of the carriage, Confucius, Qi Guanchi, Nangong Jingshu, Ziyu, and Baosi were unwilling to show up after all.
"Teacher, this is Luoyi. Look, the golden ocean in the sky is the number of air! The number of air in the Great Zhou!" Uncle Nangong Jing pointed to the sky and said.
In the golden aura rolling over Luoyi, it seemed that a golden dragon with a 100,000-mile long span was hovering, sleeping in a deep sleep. It was extremely vast and loud.
The city walls of Luoyi are very tall and the guards are extremely strict.
Confucius stopped two carriages, and when the four of them walked out of the carriage, they had already attracted the attention of the guards.
The guard was about to step forward, but a man in Taoist robe snatched in front.
"But Confucius from Lu State faces his face?" The man in Taoist robe said solemnly.
"Confucius of Lu, come and see me!" Confucius bowed slightly.
"Ah, it's indeed Confucius in Lu. Yang Zhu, my student, is waiting here for a long time!" Yang Zhu bowed to Confucius.
Waiting for a long time?
Confucius was slightly surprised, and the three people on the side frowned.
"I know I'm coming?" Confucius said with a smile.
"The teacher has calculated your itinerary and naturally knows it very well! Let me wait here without any rudeness!" Yang Zhu said with a smile.
Confucius looked at Yang Zhu. He seemed ordinary, but he was also like a spring breeze, generous and decent, and could not be revealed. With Confucius' eyes, he could see that the road behind him was extremely purple and extremely precious.
"I have a good student!" Confucius nodded.
"Confucius, my Taoist emphasis on Tao following nature, being pure and quiet, being inactive, knowing rituals, and observing rituals, but not over-rituals, so I did not make too much noise! I hope to forgive me!" Yang Zhu said with a smile.
There was no big gift for Confucius' greeting, but just ordinary reception. Nangong Jingshu and Ziyu showed dissatisfaction, but Confucius nodded: "Of course, the best, the mean is enough! If you are sincere, the form will be simple!"
Yang Zhu looked at Confucius in surprise and smiled slightly: "Thank you! Next, I'll be welcome to you for now?"
"Yes!" Confucius nodded.
"So, please!" Yang Zhu said respectfully.
Confucius nodded: "I am here in Luoyi. Please see me. I have a letter. I need time to submit it to the Emperor Zhou. I hope you can arrange for me to meet me and find the opportunity to submit it to the Emperor Zhou!"
"Oh? Letter to Emperor Zhou?" Yang Zhu said in surprise.
"good!"
"I wonder who the letter you submitted to?" Yang Zhu said curiously.
After all, it is easy to determine the degree of preciousness based on the master of the letter and when will it be given to the Emperor Zhou?
For example, the Luoyi court attaches different importance to the letters of the king and the letters of the common people. The letters of the king can be presented to the Zhou emperor on the same day. The letters of the common people may not be able to reach the Zhou emperor for the rest of his life.
"It's my letter!" Confucius explained.
"You? Are you writing a letter to Emperor Zhou?" Yang Zhu was slightly stunned.
Although Yang Zhu was ordered by Laozi to come to receive Confucius, he didn't care about Confucius in his heart, let alone that Shao Zhengmao had just died in Confucius' hands.
No matter how bad Shao Zhengmao is doing outside, he is still my registered disciple. How to deal with it, it is my turn to come. Where is your turn, an outsider?
Now, still want to send a letter to Emperor Zhou?
"Today, the Emperor of Zhou was worshiping in Mingtang. The Emperor of Zhou was approachable and often enjoyed the people. Why not, I will take you there?" Yang Zhu said with a smile.
Uncle Nangong Jing raised his eyebrows on the side.
You Yang Zhu, who came from our countryside, don’t know? Zhou Mingtang is the ancestral temple of the Great Zhou royal family. The day you ask my teacher to meet the Zhou emperor? People are worshiping ancestors. How can you pay attention to other people in such a major national affairs? Even if an ordinary king comes, he will not pay attention to it.
The Emperor Zhou was approachable and often enjoyed the people. You are a lie! No matter how approachable it is, you can't pay attention to anyone at this time.
Is this digging a hole for the teacher! Want to make the teacher look ugly?
Uncle Nangong Jing was about to get angry.
Confucius smiled slightly, "Can you take me to Mingtang?"
"I can send you closer, but I'm afraid that Confucius, you will be captured by the power of the Emperor Zhou Dynasty..." Yang Zhu said with a smile.
"Then, please lead the way!" Confucius said without considering it.
"You really want to go to Mingtang?" Yang Zhu said in surprise.
"What? Is there any problem?" Confucius looked at Yang Zhu.
Yang Zhu's eyebrows were deeply locked, and he looked at Confucius strangely, and finally showed a hint of chuckling: "Okay, it's what you want to go by yourself!"
"Teacher!" Uncle Nangong Jing said anxiously.
"You can find a place to live in Luoyi City first, and your wife can go with me! After the resettlement is completed, come and find me!" Confucius said solemnly.
"Confucius, we have prepared the place where we live in the city!" Yang Zhu immediately frowned.
"No need, there is also an inn opened by the Zi family in Luoyi City. I have the token given by the Song State doctor Xiangxu. All the surnames in the world will be arranged when they see the order!" Confucius shook his head.
"But...!" Yang Zhu suddenly felt anxious.
If Confucius does not follow him, it is considered a mistake in his reception. What if the teacher blames him...!
"Please!" Confucius did not say much to him and smiled slightly.
Confucius also understood Yang Zhu's attitude.
Look down on yourself! Since you look down on yourself, there is no need to live in your place. Looking back, you will find some customs and problems to make fun of yourself. You are not here to seek abuse.
"Okay, Confucius, please!" Yang Zhu's eyes changed in his sunnyness, and he finally nodded.
Yang Zhu led the way, so the guards at the city gate naturally did not dare to investigate.
After all, Yang Zhu is one of my favorite disciples. This time, who dares to make things difficult for him?
I am indeed very famous in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I have an irreplaceable position in Luoyi. Naturally, my students have also risen.
Yang Zhu led the way, Confucius and Qi Guanchi soon arrived at the Mingtang.
Sure enough, a huge sacrifice was being prepared at this moment. The guards of all directions were strictly guarded, and countless descendants of the Ji surname returned from all directions to participate in this sacrifice.
The strict guards are just for outsiders, but no one has investigated Yang Zhu.
Soon, the group passed through layers of guards and reached the innermost point.
It was vaguely seen that a large number of officials surrounded a man in a red robe in the center. The man wore a flat crown and was extremely burly. A luxurious aura emanated from a distance. From a distance, a stream of energy locked in the vast air of the sky, the golden dragon seemed to have a huge majesty.
From a distance, I feel like the world is full of luxury.
"That is the Emperor of Zhou. The servant said slightly and could not get close to you. Confucius, why would you send your letter to me by yourself?" Yang Zhu said with a smile.
Let Confucius pass by himself?
Qi Guan frowned slightly. Yang Zhu was indeed not a good person. Even if he was ignorant, he understood that the sacrificial ceremony was not a random trespass?
Confucius looked at Yang Zhu and showed a chuckling, but he understood Yang Zhu's intention.
Is this a warning to myself?
Yang Zhu was ordered by me to come to receive him, so he naturally would not let him have something to do. Judging from the smooth flow of the past, Yang Zhu still had great face in Luoyi.
When he trespassed into the sacrificial ceremony of the Zhou emperor, he collided with the Zhou emperor. When he was punished by the Zhou emperor and his ministers, Yang Zhu stood up and pleaded for him. He took this to save his face?
Of course, I have already come here. If I don’t go because of fear, it would be even more embarrassing?
At this moment, no matter whether Confucius went or not, he was all put on Yang Zhu's trap. Is this a warning to himself?
"Ha, so, thank you!" Confucius smiled slightly.
While speaking, Confucius stepped towards the place where Emperor Zhou was, and Qi Guanchi was next to him.
"You really go..." Yang Zhu raised his eyebrows.
Although Yang Zhu was able to save Confucius, he thought that Confucius could bow his head by himself to see the situation in front of him. Why did he really go?
Yang Zhu's face looked slightly ugly, but when he thought that Confucius was scolded by Emperor Zhou and a group of ministers later, he immediately showed a sneer. He was about to sit and watch Confucius lose face.
At the same time, Luoyi's Book Collection Hall.
I gently put down the bamboo slips.
"Teacher, what's wrong?" a student stepped forward and said.
"Yang Zhu? Although he has excellent understanding and mind, he is just too radical and too ostentatious! He has told him many times that Taoism emphasizes inaction and governs, let it go naturally, and should not be arrogant, but he..., looking back, let him think about his mistakes!" Lao Tzu said in a plain tone.
"Ah? Yes!" The student in front of him nodded in confusion.
But the teacher spoke, and Yang Zhu must have done something wrong.
As I continued to look at the bamboo slips, the student quickly walked out of the hall.
"I have met Senior Brother Lie Yuko!" A group of my students said politely.
"Where is Yang Zhu?" Lie Yuko asked in a deep voice.
To be continued...
