After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 222 Yu Qiu Zuo's Family
After hearing Mr. Zuo's three words, Meng Di didn't react for a while, but this man was able to teach the people in the mountains so well, he was obviously a rare and talented person, so he asked road.

"I don't know the name of Mr. Zuo, do you know?"

The hunter didn't expect him to ask such a question, he was taken aback for a moment, and then replied.

"Mr. Zuo's name is Qiu Ming. He used to travel around the world. Now that he's getting older, he returned to his hometown."

Zuo Qiuming!It turned out to be him, Meng Di immediately knew why he felt a little familiar after hearing this surname, so his face was overjoyed, and he stood up and asked.

"I don't know where this Mr. Zuo lives? Can you take me there?"

As soon as he heard the word Ben Wang, the hunter immediately knew the identity of the other party, and immediately prostrated himself and said.

"The villain has seen the Marquis of Han, but he doesn't know that the Marquis of Han is coming. The villain is terrified, so he goes back and informs his people to offer good wine and food immediately. Thanks to the Marquis of Han these years, we, the common people, live a better life every day. The common people I am grateful for your kindness."

And as soon as Meng Di signaled, Yu Rang stepped forward to help him up, at this moment Meng Di spoke.

"You don't need to be like this. This king has something to do with Yu Qiu. I didn't expect to meet Mr. Zuo here. I just want to pay a visit. Please show me the way."

As soon as the hunter heard this, he stood up quickly, with a look of excitement on his face, Yu Rang asked him.

"Can you ride a horse?"

Seeing that the hunter shook his head, Mengdi waved his hand and said indifferently.

"I think Mr. Zuo's place of residence is not too far away, we might as well walk there."

So the group left the tent and followed the hunter towards the mountain. After walking for about half an hour, they arrived in front of a few thatched huts. Now it was getting late, and there were lights flickering in the huts.

Meng Di raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, but took Yu Rang to knock on the door, and the door opened after a while.

A man dressed as a servant came out and saw two people standing outside, they looked very strange, so he asked.

"Did you two come to complain? There is also a thatched hut for storing sundries. If you two don't mind, you can stay here. My master likes to be quiet, so you just need to keep quiet."

After he finished speaking, he felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he looked out and saw a large group of soldiers guarding the door, so his face changed, and his face turned pale with fright.

At this time, Mengdi guessed a little bit when he saw his appearance, so he comforted him.

"You don't have to be afraid, please inform Mr. Zuo, I'm here specially to visit."

Seeing this situation, people didn't dare to stop them at all, so they hurried back into the room, and after a while, they saw a scholar in his 40s, walking out slowly, with a serious expression on his face, obviously serious man of.

After seeing Mengdi, he froze for a moment, then smiled lightly, and spoke slowly.

"I didn't expect that it was Meng Zi who came here. I apologize for being far away and welcome me."

Hearing this, Meng Di felt a little strange in his heart. He didn't expect Zuo Qiuming to know him. Although he was puzzled, he still pressed the question and went directly into the room. After sitting down, he asked road.

"Mr. Zuo is a man of great talent. Why do you want to stay here? The country of Han is developing better and better. I don't know if Mr. Zuo is interested in becoming an official in our country of Han?"

But Zuo Qiuming was noncommittal about this proposal, with a look of nostalgia on his face, and then said.

"When Zuo was in Lu State, he had a good relationship with Confucius. He once saw Mengzi from a distance, but he didn't expect that Mengzi would change suddenly and become the Marquis of Han. It's just that this title might not be given to other princes. country's recognition?"

After hearing this, Yu Rang showed dissatisfaction on his face, so Dang Li retorted.

"Nowadays the princes of the world are conquering each other. Our country of Han supports the prince's ascension to the throne and proclaims himself emperor, which is in line with the old emperor's will. Although it is not recognized by the princes for the time being, it also has the intention of helping the emperor of Zhou."

But Zuo Qiuming obviously didn't like this, after hearing this, he sneered and said bluntly.

"Now that the Son of Heaven is in Luoyi, Zuo has never heard of it. There are two Sons of Heaven in the world. minister."

"I'm afraid it won't take long before Han will gain a foothold in the south, and then turn to attack the northern vassal states. This kind of planning and scheming is really admirable, but it is also shameless!"

This is not a good start, Meng Di waited until Zuo Qiuming finished speaking, thought for a while and asked back.

"Mr. Zuo is also a talented person, so I ask you, how are the people who have been conquering the world for many years? The so-called hegemony is nothing more than wishful thinking, and you are talking about conquering on behalf of the emperor."

"Is this an act of justice? It's just that some powerful vassal states used this banner to seek personal gain. At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, 71 vassal states were enfeoffed."

"Looking at the world today, the annexation of small countries by big countries is intensifying. Most of the vassal states have been destroyed. Under such circumstances, Zhou Li has long existed in name only. What Mr. Zuo said just now is true."

"This king just wants to gain a foothold in the south, and then attack the vassal states in the north. In this way, the history of more than a hundred years of fighting can be ended, and the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment from now on. Isn't this the greatest benevolence and righteousness?"

Unexpectedly, Meng Di would say such a thing. After all, Zuo Qiuming is also a well-educated person. He still has vision and insight. Over the years, he has also been thinking hard about the way of governing the country.

However, due to historical limitations, Zuo Qiuming always focused on strengthening the strength of a certain country or a certain place, and never considered the unification of the world, so he fell silent immediately.

After a while, Zuo Qiuming sighed, his face revealed a look of helplessness, but he immediately became firm again, he looked at Meng Di with burning eyes, and then asked back.

"Has Mengzi ever thought about it? If after taking the world by force, the rituals of Zhou will disappear, and then the princes of the world will feel that since Mengzi can take the world by force, then they can naturally, too. It became a source of turmoil!"
