Master Kong Zhongni

Chapter 183 The God Stick Is Up (3K2)

Kong Li became anxious when he heard this.

"Zimu, is there no solution? Is it really destiny?"

Upon hearing this, Shang Qu replied, "Of course there is a way to rescue him.

At first Zigong wanted to record what the Master had said, but the Master said: I have nothing to say now.

Zigong was anxious, so he said, "If you don't speak out what's in your heart, what are we students going to do to describe it?"
The master replied: What did the sky say?It is nothing but indulgence in the cycle of the seasons and the flourishing of all things.How did God ever tell others?

According to my understanding, the Master believes that the destiny exists, but it does not influence everything.

The sky does not control all things, the four seasons still run, and all things grow, so whether you can marry a wife does not depend on the destiny, but on yourself! "

When everyone heard Shang Qu's words, they fell into deep thought.

And Zaiyu couldn't help sighing: "My country of Lu is worthy of being a country of riddles, Zimu is not a human being!"

Zigong was also thoughtful: "I seem to understand something, but I don't seem to understand anything."

Everyone felt something, but Kong Li was impatient.

He asked directly: "Zimu, you might as well make your words clearer."

The riddleman Shang Qu Wenyan just waved his hands: "The way of heaven, don't say it."

When Zaiyu heard the word 'Tiandao', he suddenly remembered something.

Yup!

Didn't the monarch intend to issue a recruitment order to select talents who are proficient in astronomy and calendar from among the people of the country?
Speaking of astronomy and calendar, is there anyone among Confucians who can compare with Zimu?

As the saying goes, if you sharpen your guns before the battle, you will be happy if you are unhappy.

Why don't you let him sharpen the guns for everyone here, so that the admission rate of Confucian students will go up?

Thinking of this, Zaiyu secretly pulled the corner of Zigong's clothes and raised his eyebrows at him.

Seeing Zigong, he immediately moved out of the crowd without making a fuss, and retreated with him to a corner of the restaurant.

"Is something wrong?"

Zai Yu lowered his voice and said: "I heard that the monarch is going to issue an order soon to recruit scholars and gentlemen who understand astronomy and calendar.

I know that many people in the same school have always wanted to become an official.

Now that Zimu is here, why don't we set up a game and let him pour out all the stuff in his stomach and help everyone with counseling? "

Zigong asked: "Such a matter, can't you explain it to Zimu directly? Why do you have to make a game?"

Zaiyu said with a righteous face: "That's different! I, Zaiyu, just want to help my classmates realize their long-cherished wishes.

If I explain it clearly to everyone and tell them that the country will select scholars based on astronomical calendar, wouldn't that be a deliberate favor to others? "

When Zi Gong heard this, he shook his head a little, and then he stopped abruptly.

He asked: "Wait! Where did you hear that the monarch will use the astronomical calendar to select candidates?"

Zaiyu said in a trembling voice: "Of course I heard it from the monarch! Do I, Zaiyu, seem like the kind of person who casually spread gossip?"

"You kid want to vent the question?!"

Zai Yu hurriedly stepped forward and covered his mouth: "Shut up! What do you know? I am an official first and then an official, and finally help everyone achieve the goal of becoming an official together!

Besides, I just gave some 'reasonable' suggestions to the monarch, Dashi and Baozhang, and asked them to focus on some subjects.

It's just a coincidence that when we were drinking and chatting today, we happened to talk about these subjects again.

Is this a problem?No problem! "

"Since there is no problem, just do it yourself, why do you have to drag me into the water?"

When Zaiyu heard this, his face showed shock, he took three steps back, raised his finger and pointed at Zigong.

"Duanmuci, I have always regarded you as a brother, but I never thought you would...

good!The two of us, brothers, will cut off all kindness and righteousness from today onwards. When I return to Tuqiu, I will start raising the market tax! "

After Zaiyu finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and started to go out.

Unexpectedly, before stepping out of the threshold, he felt his sleeve tighten, and looking back, it turned out that Zigong was holding his arm.

Zigong said righteously: "My son! Since you and I are brothers, how can we fight in the same room?
You have always been an outstanding gentleman in my heart.

Although I don't know why you did this, there must be a reason for you to insult yourself like this! "

When Zaiyu heard this, he clapped his hands on Zigong's shoulder.

"Brother, I knew I could trust you! Yes, I did it for a reason."

After finishing speaking, Zaiyu whispered in Zigong's ear and told the truth about what he saw and heard in the garden in the suburbs today.

After hearing this, Zi Gong frowned and said, "Gongshan Buxuan, Shusun Zhe, Gongjiaji..."

He thought about the positions of these people, and his thoughts suddenly became clear: "Yang Hu wants... so that's the case! This thief has a serious intention!"

Zai Yu nodded and said, "Now do you understand why I let my classmates become officials?"

Zigong thought for a while, nodded slightly and said: "I probably understand. Zi me! There is a saying in "Poetry": Brothers fight against the wall and guard their affairs outside.

Brothers may fight at home, but they can always help each other if they encounter foreign aggression!

Since it is for the righteousness of the country, there is no problem with discrepancies in some details! "

Just after Zigong finished speaking, the students finally found Zaiyu and Zigong who had disappeared.

"Where are Zigong and Ziwo?"

"Standing in the corner and talking."

"Everyone is here, if you have anything to say, go to the inner hall and talk."

The classmates pulled and pushed the two of them into the inner hall.

Mi Buqi, Kong Zhong and the others had already waited inside, and after a simple greeting, they took their seats in order of seniority.

Before Zaiyu and Zigong could sit still, they heard Gongzu Gouzi asking.

"Zi Wo, Zi Gong, what were you two talking about just now? Why did I see you two talking and pulling each other?"

When Zaiyu and Zigong heard this, their faces tightened.

However, as veteran diplomats who have experienced many battles, they have seen this kind of scene a lot, so they quickly adjusted their expressions.

Jae Yu covered it up with a laugh: "It's no big deal. We're just discussing the "Tai Chu Li".

Zigong and I disagreed on some joints in the "Taichu Calendar", so there was a dispute. "

Zigong calmed down by pouring wine, hiding his wandering eyes.

"Zi Wo just told me that there may be a severe drought this year, and I cannot agree with his point of view."

When Shang Qu heard this, he stopped drinking suddenly, and he was really hooked as Zaiyu and Zigong expected.

"My son, on what basis did you draw this conclusion?"

Zaiyu looked worried and said: "Hey! I watched the sky at night, and the year star appeared in the ugly position, traveling from west to east. The Suiyin was in the Yin position, traveling from east to west.

Judging from this astronomical phenomenon, this year should belong to the Year of Protige.

In the first month of the Year of Protig, under normal circumstances, the year star will appear in the east before dawn.

Observing its star color, it is found that it is blue and bright, which is called the image of 'Jiande'.

However, the image of "supervising morality" did not appear in the first month, but did not appear until February.

I heard that during the age of Retige, the year star appears early, and there will be floods.If it appears late, drought will occur.

The Sui Xing appeared so late this year, there must be a drought. "

When Shang Qu heard this, he pondered slightly: "Actually, I also observed the astrology early this year, and the astrology this year is indeed somewhat abnormal. But I think that judging whether a disaster is coming, you can't just rely on the age star, and you can't just rely on the appearance of the age star." Sooner or later it will be judged."

Zaiyu pretended to be curious and said, "Oh? How do you say that?"

Shang Qu took a sip of the wine, and instantly seemed to open up the chatterbox.

"Tai Sui is like a king. It is the head of all stars and the lord of all evils, so it should not be offended. But it is not an evil star, and sometimes it can be regarded as an auspicious star.

For example, when Ye Qia was old, if the Sui Xing appeared in the east in the morning together with 觜觽 and Sansu, the stars would be bright and bright, forming an image of a 'long row'.

Then it was beneficial to send troops to do martial arts.

At the time of Da Yuan Xian, Sui Xing, Spica and Kang Su appeared in the east in the morning, and the stars shone brightly, forming the image of "Da Zhang".

Such an age is suitable for raising troops and using martial arts, and its generals must have martial arts.

At this time, which country the Sui Xing is in is in the division of heaven, that country will own the world and become the co-lord of the world.

If the Sui Xing first floats and then sinks when it appears, the country will get land.

If it sinks first and then floats, the country where the age star is located will perish.

The color of Sui Xing is red and has horns, and the country where it is located is bound to be prosperous.Whoever fights against this country will certainly not be able to win.

If the color of the Sui Xing is reddish yellow and thick, the country where the grains are ripening will usher in a bumper harvest.

If the year star is blue-white or red-gray, the country where it is located will be troubled.

Sui Xing is hidden behind Yaoyue, and the country where he is located has exiled prime ministers and prime ministers.

Sui Xing and Taibai Xing reciprocated and separated, and the army of the country where they were located was defeated.

In addition to Sui Xing, the positions of Ying Huo and Zhen Xing also had to be considered.

Yinghuo's usual rule of movement is that after the sky appears, it runs from west to east, after passing sixteen houses, it then goes westward for two houses, and after about sixty days, it runs eastward again, passing dozens of houses, about ten houses. A month later, it went underground again from the west.

If Yinghuo's running speed is abnormal, it is moving eastward, which means that there are troops gathered in the east.Going west quickly means that there are troops gathering in the west.Speeding to the north and south, it means that there are troops gathered in the north and south.

If it is used in divination wars, those who use troops along the moving direction of Yinghuo will surely win, and those who use troops against the direction of Yinghuo's running will surely lose.

Yinghuo follows the Taibai star, which represents the danger of military operations.

Ying Huo left Taibai Star, which means that it is time to withdraw from the army.

And Zhenxing, which travels for one night every year, can go around for one week after 28 years.

Wherever the town star stays, good things will happen to the country corresponding to the division.

If Zhenxing should not stay but stays, or has left but returns, he will stay after returning.

This is a symptom of the expansion of the national territory corresponding to the division.

If the territory is not expanded, children will also be given treasures.

If the Zhen Xing should stay but does not stay, or if it has stayed but is swinging from east to west, it means that the corresponding country will suffer the disaster of losing its territory.

Even if you don't lose your territory, you will lose your children's treasures.

Therefore, at this time, it is not allowed to hold major events, nor to use troops against the enemy.

When I observed the sky this year, although as you said, the year star came out late, but the late time was not too long, and the phenomenon of "supervising virtue" appeared in early February.

And Zhenxing happened to stay in Kuisu this year. Kuisu is the division of Lu State in the sky, which shows that Lu State will have a good omen.

As for Yinghuo, its operation this year is also very normal.

So I think that even if there is a drought this year, it will not be too severe and cause disaster.

On the contrary, Lu Guo may benefit from Zhen Xing's stay this year. "

　The town star appeared outside my window, which meant that I was about to get a leader-level tip, and even if I didn't, I would at least get a monthly ticket and other blessings.
