Confucian self-cultivation: Scholars start from Daqin

It's a pity that his mind is not enough, he can't achieve "quietness", and he can barely regain that feeling by relying on the book in his hand, but it also consumes a lot of mind.

Xunzi asked him to go to South Korea to "get quiet amidst the hustle and bustle" instead of "entering the stillness amidst the hustle and bustle". The reason is that as long as the book in Gao Jing's hand has been "quiet", the rest will be honed in the "settled" state.

……

"I won't watch it in the future."

Gao Jing let out a sigh of relief, and really couldn't watch it anymore, otherwise it would become an obsession, let alone "to neutralize".

Yan Lingji lay on Gao Jing's back, stretched out her hands to rub his temples, and said softly: "There is a hut in front, do you want to rest?"

"Alright."

Head to the high spot.

Now they are already in the territory of Wei State, which belongs to the Xinling Terrace, and the three of Gao Jing have been walking around here for two days.

When it comes to Xinling, it is natural to have to mention Lord Xinling Wei Wuji. Gao Jing wanted to come to worship, but he still couldn't find out where Lord Xinling was buried.

All I know is that Mr. Xinling died in depression in his own fief—well, he was killed by a startled salamander here.

A simple thatched hut, the land at the entrance of the house has been reclaimed and planted with sorghum rice.

The carriage stopped, Gao Jing got off, and asked loudly, "Is there anyone here?"

After a while, a heavy footstep came.

A huge figure appeared, somewhat hunched over, with an unusually tall and burly figure. Even Wushuang Ghost looked thin and short in front of him.

Gao Jing had to look up at him, only to see a face covered with a cloth strip.

So recognizable!

"Could it be the armored gate of Wei State, the celebration of "Bronze head and iron arms, no wounds in a hundred battles"?" Gao Jing asked in surprise.

Dianqing's figure was too oppressive, just standing there, Wushuang ghost unconsciously stood in front of Gao Jing, growling vigilantly.

Yan Lingji approached Gao Jing cautiously, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know him?"

"Don't be nervous, he won't hurt us."

Gao Jing pushed Wushuang ghost away with a smile, took a step forward, looked up at Dianqing, and said, "This person can be called the hardest person in the world, but now he has a soft heart."

After finishing speaking, Gao Jing formally saluted and said, "Confucian Gao Jing, I have met Mr. Dianqing."

Although Dianqing's eyes were covered with cloth strips, he stared at Gao Jing as if he could see, and buzzed, "Dianqing met Mr. Gao! I've heard of you, little Confucian uncle, with a heart of benevolence and righteousness, a pedantic scholar. Humans are unparalleled in wisdom and calculations, with the power of ghosts and gods."

Gao Jing was dumbfounded by what he said, what has become of his reputation?

Yanling Ji laughed, and said with a smile: "Oh, that's pretty accurate."

Gao Jing had a toothache.

Who is the most powerful propagandist in this era?Apart from Confucianism, there is really nothing else.

Therefore, Gao Jing's reputation is most likely propagated by Confucianism... It's just that the propaganda is too much.

Dianqing didn't know what Gao Jing was thinking, and asked in a muffled voice, "Mr. Gao is here, what's the matter?"

Gao Jing thought for a while and said, "There used to be one thing, but now it's two things."

Dianqing said very little and didn't ask any questions, just looked at Gao Jing silently.

Gao Jing was not embarrassed, and said to himself: "First, I want to pay homage to Lord Xinling Wei Wuji, but I can't find a place."

Dianqing pointed to not far away.

Gao Jing looked over, and could vaguely see a tombstone, suddenly, he continued: "The second thing is a temporary idea."

As he spoke, he patted Wushuanggui's thigh, and said: "My partner has a strange physique, is born with strange strength, is covered in copper skin and iron bones, and is hard to hurt with swords... I want him to join the armored sect. I don't know what Mr. Dianqing wants ?”

Dianqing glanced at Wushuanggui, and said directly, "I can't be the master."

Chapter 49 Mei Sanniang

It was Gao Jing's temporary idea to let Wushuang ghost apprentice to the Armored Gate.

To be honest, Wu Shuanggui's physique is considered copper skin, but not iron bone... It's okay to abuse small soldiers, but when encountering masters, he will be blown away in minutes.

On the other hand, Dianqing has the same copper skin, but it is a real iron bone. It blocked the frontal impact of 13 chariots on the battlefield without any damage. A master Tian Ci, even Mo Xie can't break his defense with a go-getter in his hand!

On the battlefield, he was only captured by the Qin army after exhaustion. He couldn't be killed, so he had to be sent to Lishan for labor, and then bought by the Zhu family.

Later, he was poisoned, his hard skills were weakened, and finally he was cut open by someone and broke his defense. Dianqing himself didn't react, and only said, "This long-lost feeling..."

Military strategists pay attention to strategy, not individual martial arts, only simple military tactics to strengthen the body, similar to the martial arts of later generations.

But the armor-piercing sect's skills are equivalent to a peak of the "military strengthening technique"!

With Wushuanggui's physique, if he could practice the armor-piercing technique... Gao Jing couldn't even imagine who could kill him in the future.

But this is just Gao Jing's temporary idea.

Since Dianqing said that he could not be the master, Gao Jing did not force it.

……

Since we are going to pay homage to Lord Xinling, we still need to prepare some sacrifices.

When Gao Jing brought Yan Lingji and Wushuang ghost to the town to buy sacrifices and came back, besides Dianqing, another woman came to the small hut.

Dressed coolly, with short orange hair in a ponytail, he was confronting Dianqing.

Compared to Dianqing, her figure can only be said to be short, but her imposing manner is not lost at all. On the contrary, Dianqing lowered her head, not daring to look at her.

When she saw Gao Jing and others approaching, the woman said angrily, "Brother, who are they?"

Dianqing lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "Sanniang, he is the Confucian Mr. Gao Jing, who came to pay homage to Lord Xinling."

"High Confucianism?"

Mei Sanniang turned her head to look at Gao Jing, and said, "I've heard about you, are you really here to worship Lord Xinling?"

Gao Jing commanded the Wushuang ghost to hold the sacrifice, and saluted Mei Sanniang with a smile: "Confucian Gao Jing, we have seen Sanniang, we are indeed here to worship Lord Xinling, but after seeing Mr. I want my companion to join the Pijiamen... It's a pity that Mr. Dianqing said that he can't make the decision."

Mei Sanniang snorted angrily, and said: "Of course he can't be the master, he is dedicated to serving the enemies of Pijiamen, how can Pijiamen be in his heart?"

While talking, his eyes were sizing up Wushuang Ghost, and he was obviously shocked by Wushuang Ghost's physique.

Seeing this, Gao Jing smiled, took the sacrifice from Wushuang Gui, patted his thigh, and said, "Go and show Sanniang."

Wushuang Ghost let out a low growl, and walked up to Mei Sanniang reluctantly.

He was simple-minded, and didn't know what it meant to enter the Pijiamen, but simply listened to Gao Jing's words—because Yan Lingji asked him to listen to Gao Jing's words.

Mei Sanniang looked up at Wushuanggui curiously, and patted his well-defined muscles behind her back, praising: "Stronger than senior brother's physique... It's a pity that he is from Baiyue."

Gao Jing shook his head slightly, and said, "The ancestor of the Yue Kingdom was Wuyu, the concubine son of Shaokang, the ruler of the Xia Dynasty, and he was one of the direct descendants of Dayu. We can laugh at the backwardness of the Yue Kingdom, but we cannot treat the Baiyue people as outsiders! "

Mei Sanniang froze for a moment: "The Baiyue people are the descendants of Dayu? Is it true or not?"

"of course it's true!"

Gao Jing nodded affirmatively, and said: "The monarch of the Yue Kingdom is Si, Shaokang, and his youngest son is named Yu Yue, and the name of the Yue Kingdom began.

"Spring and Autumn" also said: At least Kang, fearing that Yu's ancestral temple would be sacrificed, he entrusted his concubine son to Yue, and called him Wuyu. "

Suddenly, Mei Sanniang looked at Wushuanggui with less distaste and more affection.

Yan Lingji, who followed Gao Jing, unconsciously puffed out her chest.

Also from Baiyue, although she looks lawless, she also knows that the land of the Central Plains has always looked down on Baiyue, thinking that Baiyue is a barbarian, so it is inevitable that she does not have a trace of inferiority in her heart.

Now Gao Jing said that the Baiyue people were the descendants of Dayu... She followed Gao Jing for a while and knew what Dayu meant to the people of the Central Plains.

……

When worshiping Lord Xinling, Gao Jing didn't have any complicated sense of etiquette.

They just placed the sacrifices, silently poured out a few glasses of wine, and then stood in front of Lord Xinling's tomb in silence.

Recalling the life of Lord Xinling in his mind.

Mei Sanniang, Dianqing, Wushuanggui, and Yan Lingji lined up behind him.

It's strange that they took Gao Jing as their main priority without even thinking about the reason.

It is because although Gao Jing is young and has not grown up in stature, his temperament is elegant and harmonious, and his self-confidence also hides his spirit.

Silent for a long time.

Gao Jing suddenly said, "Do you know the Four Young Masters of the Seven Kingdoms?"

Mei Sanniang asked suspiciously, "The prince of the Seven Kingdoms?"

"No."

Gao Jing shook his head and said, "It's Huang Xie, Lord Chunshen of Chu State, Zhao Sheng, Lord Pingyuan of Zhao State, and Tian Wen, Lord Mengchang of Qi State."

Yan Lingji asked: "Is there another one?"

Gao Jing sighed: "There is another one in front of us, Wei Wuji, the prince of Wei Guo Xinling Lord!"

Dianqing's expression moved slightly.

Yan Lingji asked suspiciously: "Are they very powerful? And this Wei Wuji, you stayed here for so many days just to worship him?"

"Awesome? This is not something that can be described as powerful or not."

Gao Jing smiled and said: "Let's talk about Lord Pingyuan first. Lord Pingyuan Zhao Sheng has many followers. When Lord Wu'an of Qin State raised his troops to encircle Handan, he scattered all his wealth and wandered around in many places. He invited Lord Xinling and Lord Chunshen. He sent troops to rescue Zhao, and when Bai Qi besieged Handan, he let his wives and concubines enter the army to mend clothes for the soldiers. As a result, all the people in Handan waited for the reinforcements from Chu and Wei to defend Zhao, but after the victory, they did not invite them. reward...

You said, can he be regarded as one of the four sons of the Seven Kingdoms? "

Mei Sanniang nodded: "It can indeed be counted, what about Mr. Chunsheng?".

Chapter 50 Farming

"Mr. Chunsheng is a minister of the state of Chu. He once served as Prime Minister of Chu. He is famous for his eloquence."

Gao Jing explained in detail: "It can be said that he was as clever as a tongue. He sent troops to Chu State in vain. He persuaded the court of Qin State with his clever mouth, and then retreated. Later, he welcomed the prince back as the King of Chu, which is now the King of Chu. A few years ago, as the commander of the joint vertical alliance army and the soldiers of the six countries, he attacked Qin...

Can such a person be counted as one of the Four Young Masters of the Seven Kingdoms? "

Yan Lingji thought for a while, nodded, and said, "Forget it! What about Lord Mengchang?"
