Lu Dynasty

Chapter 424 Ma Jun (1)
The turmoil of ascension to the throne soon passed, and the Luoyang court was also on the right track.Anyway, I don't have enough manpower now, and I don't want to trouble any prince.Now that I, the most powerful prince, is resting and recuperating, it is rare to see a trace of peace in the land of the Central Plains.When Chen Qun came to Luoyang under the order of Cao, I threw him directly to the Ministry of Rites and asked Kong Rong and Mi Heng to educate him.Kong Rong and Mi Heng were also flustered in the Ministry of Rites, and they were not very good people.Kong Rong calls Chen Qun to have a banquet every day, and Mi Heng speaks venomously every day, making Chen Qun miserable.However, in order to inquire about the system of the Luoyang court, Chen Qun made up his mind to endure the humiliation and swear that he would not give up if he failed to achieve his goal!Since Chen Qun is so determined, I can only ask Kong Rong and Mi Heng to entertain him 'well'!

Since the recruiting hall is located in Jimin Restaurant, I went to the restaurant to have a drink or two if I had nothing to do, to see if I could have a chance encounter with some great talent.Back then, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai were the ones I caught in the restaurant!Jimin Restaurant has now been rebuilt to the third floor, and the attic on the top has been set up as a private room. I can see the surroundings of Jimin Restaurant when I sit in the private room.We don't use the private room before, after all, we are now a formal imperial court, and it would be out of place to discuss matters in a restaurant.

One day, I was sitting in the private room on the top of the restaurant drinking tea, when I suddenly heard a commotion downstairs.I stood upstairs and looked down, and saw a group of Confucian scholars with tall hats surrounding a ragged young man, gesticulating and not knowing what to say.I called the restaurant manager and ordered him to let the group of Confucian scholars send a representative to come upstairs with the ragged young man.

The Confucian scholar entered the private room and bowed to me: "Xiaosheng pays homage to Mr. I don't know what is the important thing that Mr. called us?"At the very least, Jimin Restaurant is owned by me, and this is something that all big men know.In my territory, who would dare to instruct my subordinates?Although Confucian scholars don't know me, the fact that I can sit in the private room on the top floor shows that I am extraordinary, so Confucian scholars are very respectful and want to give me a good impression.

The young man in ragged clothes was different. He said tremblingly, "I'm sorry sir, I disturbed your tea-tasting pleasure, I'm leaving now, I shouldn't be recruited!"

"The imperial court ordered that anyone with a skill can apply. Since you are confident, why shouldn't you recruit? Is it because of other people's gossip? Sit down! Come and serve tea to this little brother!" Thick calluses feel that he is not simple.

The Confucian scholar hadn't sat down yet, but I asked a craftsman to sit down first. The Confucian scholar was immediately upset, and he cupped his hands and said, "Please, sir! Although I don't know who the master is, the imperial court is an important place to govern the country. How can these lowly craftsmen and merchants be allowed to enter? It is wrong for the imperial court to do so! We want the imperial court to restore our Han ancestral system and rule the country with Confucianism!"

"Low? How are they low? It's a joke. The imperial court doesn't classify people as high and low. What qualifications do you have? Is it because you are wearing this Confucian robe? Dogs see people as low!" I said disdainfully: "You say When it comes to Confucianism governing the country, I will talk to you about governing the country, what would you do, I will give you a county magistrate, do you know what to do?"

"I am familiar with Confucian classics, so I can naturally govern the people well and let them live and work in peace and contentment!" the Confucian scholar argued strongly.

I shook my head and said, "Familiar with Confucian classics? Then let me ask you, what is a gentleman? What is Confucius' definition of a gentleman? How many subjects do you know about archery, Yi, ritual, music, imperialism, and mathematics? You don't understand anything. How dare you claim to be familiar with Confucian classics? If you can become an official, the common people of the Han Dynasty will die!" The Confucian scholar's face turned purple from my anger, and I ignored him and continued: "Confucian classics are to teach you How do you behave? You haven’t even done a good job of being a human being, and you haven’t learned the basics of humility. How dare you come out and speak out? Just say that Confucius didn’t look down on the people, and even said that there is no distinction between teaching and learning. If you are like this, you can let the people Living and working in peace and contentment, that is a joke. Master Kong Rong and Confucianism like Kong Rong would not dare to say such wild words, you are a young boy, what else do you have besides arrogance? Settle down and study hard, and come back when you have a skill! Don’t say it when the time comes You don’t appreciate your own talent, but you know what talent you have, maybe only Yuan Shao can appreciate your talent, not even Cao!”

Ru's face turned purple with anger, and he said angrily: "What are you, you dare to blame me! You know, I am from the Hongnong Yang family. You offended me. Be careful that the Yang family troubles you. How dare someone in Sili find me about the Hongnong Yang family?"

"It turned out to be a child of a family with high eyesight and low power, but Luoyang is not a place where you can run rampant. If you don't want Hongnong Yang's family to be slaughtered, you should not say such things in Luoyang! At least you can ask in the private room of Jimin Restaurant The person you are talking about belongs to Lu Feng! If you offend Prime Minister Lu, you will know what will happen!" People from aristocratic families have always been arrogant, and it seems that the swords of Li Jue and Guo Si did not make them afraid.

"Hmph! What's the big deal, I don't keep my master here, I have a place to keep my master!" The Confucian scholar turned around and was about to leave. He said in his heart: I was originally sent by the family to make trouble. I will go out immediately and tell you what you said. In the future, we will stop your recruiting hall and see how you recruit those untouchables!

"Wait! Shopkeeper! You go and ask Dianman and Xu Yi to send a team of tiger guards over. If someone comes to respond, and if someone stops you, kill Wushe! Then I will send someone to send the announcement!" I read The Confucian scholar glanced at him and said: "Hongnong Yang's family, right? I remember, you go back and tell Yang Biao to be careful!" The Confucian scholar was terrified. He didn't expect that I would kill someone by opening my mouth.Now it was the Confucian scholar's turn to be afraid. He went downstairs tremblingly and told the group of Confucian scholars what I said, and the group of Confucian scholars scattered like birds and beasts.

I watched the Confucian scholars go away, shook my head and said to the young man, "Okay, let's talk about you!"

The young man fell on the ground with a plop and said, "My... my lord! I'm just here to apply. Those adults say I'm not qualified, so I'll leave right away. I... I..." The young man was so frightened that he couldn't speak.Just now he saw that I treated those Confucian scholars with cold eyes, and thought that I would not have good things to say about craftsmen like him.

I walked up to the young man, helped him up with a pleasant face, and said, "Who said you are not qualified? They are nothing, and I have my word! Don't be afraid, sit down! A man must be confident." Before I finished speaking, I heard The young man's stomach growled.
