Lu Dynasty

Chapter 376 Lu Xun

I looked at Lu Ji's bewildered eyes and smiled, "Gong Ji doesn't understand why what I said is different from what the people you meet with in normal times, or even contradictory?" Lu Ji nodded, and I continued. : "That's because you have come into contact with some aristocratic children before, they are all selfish. They have never considered for the country and the people, even if there are a few exceptions, they always consider the interests of the family first, for the interests of the family , they can harm the interests of the country and the people. What I am talking about is the original intention of Confucius for the country and the people. One is for the benefit of the country and the people, and the other is for the benefit of a single family. What is more important? ?”

After listening to my words, Lu Ji fell into deep thought, but Lu Xun asked: "Sir, how can you prove that what you said is the original meaning of Confucius? It has been hundreds of years since the Han Dynasty established the country. Has no one been able to correctly explain the meaning of Confucius?" The original meaning of the sage? Or does the master think that he is more learned than the Confucians of all ages?"

"It's not that I'm more knowledgeable than Confucians of all ages, it's just that I don't need to misinterpret Confucius' words!" I said to Lu Xun with a smile: "Bo Yan knows that the reason why Confucianism was respected by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is because Dong Zhongshu invented it. There are two theories of the divine right of the king and the induction between heaven and man. Confucius said: You don’t talk about strange powers and gods! Even Confucius himself did not discuss the theory of ghosts and gods. What qualifications does Dong Zhongshu have to put forward these two arguments based on Confucius’ remarks? As for proving me Speaking of Confucian thought, there is no distinction between teaching and learning, may I ask Bo Yan, how many disciples does Confucius have, and who are the sages among them?"

Lu Xun said with a smile: "Sir, I can't beat me in this test. I have also read the Analects. Confucius had three thousand disciples and 72 masters. The most famous ones are Zhongyou Zilu, Duanmucizi Zigong and Yan Hui!"

"Since Boyan knows these three people, let's study the background of these three people!" I smiled and said, "Zilu was a military general. You can tell from the fact that he died on the battlefield. Generally, literati are very Young master, fight in person! Duanmuci has a record, he is a businessman, as for Yan Hui, his family is so poor, so naturally he is not from a rich family, I wonder if Bo Yan thinks so?"

Seeing that I was dumbfounded by what Lu Xun and Lu Ji said, Guo Jia said with a smile: "Gongji, Bo Yan, from now on you will know what the lord said is true! Now you should not argue with the lord, the lord does not care about knowledge. Or the eloquence is rare in the world! How can you talk about him?"

I saw that Guo Jia came out to interrupt, so I stopped discussing the family background with Lu Ji and Lu Xun. I smiled and asked Lu Xun, "Gongji wants to be a Confucian who educates the people, and is willing to guard one side. I don't know what Bo Yan's ambition is?"

Lu Xun was not as simple as Lu Ji. He smiled and asked, "I naturally want to expand the territory of the country! But I am a scholar. What do you think I should do?"

I smiled and said to Lu Xun: "Scholars can be counselors, and a good counselor can also serve as a general. Even if the civilians under my command can't command the army, they can serve as supervisors and military advisers. What do you think you can do?"

Lu Xun said with a smile: "Since this is the case, I think I can only be a counselor under the command of the master! I don't know how the master will arrange me?"

"Counselors are also divided into internal affairs counselors and military counselors. Since you want to expand the territory of the country, you must be a military counselor!" I smiled and said, "Feng Xiao, I will entrust Bo Yan to you and Jia Shi. Let him be educated as a successor!"

Lu Xun asked: "Feng Xiao is Mr. Guo Jia Guo, he is the number one think tank under Mr. Gu, but I don't know who Mr. Jia is. Compared with Mr. Guo, which one is more powerful?" Jia Xu received three people, Lu Kang, grandparent and grandson, but Lu Xun didn't know that Jia Xu was my teacher, and he didn't know that I would call Jia Xu "Master Jia". He thought Jia Xu was an ordinary civil servant under my command.

"Mr. Guo is a genius in military affairs. His plans are often slanted, making it impossible to guard against!" I laughed and said, "Mr. Jia is my master Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe. He is a rare poison in the world." A scholar, his eyes can see through people's hearts, and his schemes often point directly at human nature, which one do you think is better?"

"It's really hard to compare!" Lu Xun thought for a while and said, "Sir, do you want these two gentlemen to teach me?"

"Exactly!" I laughed and said, "Your talent, Lu Xun, is unknown to others, but I know it! You can command an army when you mount a horse, and rule the people when you dismount. In ten years, you must be the best in our army!"

Lu Xun was excited. Although he was at home on weekdays, Lu Kang also valued him, but Lu Kang valued Lu Ji more. I said this now, which made Lu Xun feel like meeting a confidant. The 15-year-old Lu Xun immediately knelt in front of me and shouted: "I will live up to my lord's expectations! In order to repay my lord's kindness, from now on, I, Lu Yi, will change my name to Lu Xun!" It turned out that Lu Xun is still called Lu Yi now. , did not change his name at all, but I always called him Lu Xun, he thought I wanted him to change his name!

I helped Lu Xun up and said, "Bo Yan doesn't have to be like this! Kneeling is already exempted in our army! In the future, no matter who you meet, you only need to bow and salute. You must know that men have gold under their knees. You can kneel up and down. Kneel on the ground, parents can kneel in the middle, others including me, don't need to kneel!"

I saw that both Lu Ji and Lu Xun had chosen the direction of development, so I smiled and said to Jia Xu: "Master Jia, take Boyan and Gongji to rest first! Send Gongji to You'anna later, and Boyan Follow you. Give them a mansion close to my house, and arrange servants!"

"Understood!" Jia Xu asked: "Master, you are making an exception for them like this!"

I laughed and said, "Let's give it to them in advance! With Gongji and Boyan's qualifications, he will definitely build a government office and open a mansion in the future. What's the point of giving them a mansion earlier?" This made little Lu Ji and little Lu Xun very moved After a while.

After Jia Xu took Lu Ji and Lu Xun down, I was going to go back home.Liu Bian went to arrange Lu Kang's funeral and other matters as early as after Lu Kang's death.Guo Jia saw me walking towards the mansion Shi Shiran, and he asked with a smile: "My lord, did you go back like this?"

"What's the matter with Fengxiao?" I turned around and asked in doubt, "You seem to be by my side all day. Even if there is any military situation, Master Jia should have come to inform me. You don't know, do you?"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Of course I don't have any urgent military information to report to the lord, I just want to remind you. Now your family still has a big trouble to deal with. If you go back now, then you will have to face that trouble! When the time comes, don't say I didn't remind you!"
