Zifang is smart and follows the Confucian way. He doesn't need to tell himself what he should learn. He will look for it in the library. If he comes to ask questions and answer questions, he can also understand Zifang's progress.
Many Confucian classics were not difficult for Zifang, and it seemed that Zifang also dabbled in hundreds of schools of thought, so his studies were not a problem. Xun Kuang was satisfied, but he preferred to study "Spring and Autumn", or Gong Yanggao's "Spring and Autumn".
Let’s talk about it another time.
Zifang was born into a noble family and had a somewhat arrogant temperament. He still had the desire to restore the country in his heart. He was afraid that if there was a chance in the future, he would definitely leave Little Sage Village and take action. The only thing he worried about was Zifang's way of life.
This is also one of the essences of Confucianism. It requires careful understanding from Zifang, and a direct understanding of the mean. After following him for several years, I think Zifang will understand what he means.
In the Xia Dynasty, everyone has his own path.
More than ten years ago, Han Fei came to ask him. Xun Kuang knew his purpose very well, but he could not stop it. He also knew whether South Korea could be saved.
However, this is the way of heaven and the way of humanity.
The ovary also wants to take this road. Whether he can continue on it depends on him. There is not much he can do.
"Yes, uncle!"
When Zhang Liang heard this, he nodded and bowed his hands.
"Just wait."
"If you have any doubts in the future, you can still come here."
Xun Kuang also nodded, and then turned his gaze to the chessboard in front of him, thinking for a moment, then pointed a little, and another chess piece fell, ignoring Yan Lu and Zifang in front of him.
"yes!"
Yan Lu and Zhang Liang looked at each other without hesitation, bowed again, stood up and left the deep bamboo forest.
"Well, senior brother, there will be important people coming to the Little Saint's Villa?"
Leaving Master Xun Kuang's place, we walked into the pavilions and pavilions of Little Sage's Manor and looked as far as our eyes could see. At this moment, the spring sun was rising, and the light was refracted on the gorgeous eaves of Little Sage's Manor, giving off a different kind of light.
The water rhymes across it, the blue sea and sky are striking, the breeze is sweeping, and there is a faint smell of the sea. In the distance, some Confucian disciples are decorating the entrance and square, which stretches all the way to the Hall of Renli.
The same is true for the rest, and there is no slack.
Having stayed in Little Saint's Manor for a long time, I naturally knew that such a move meant that something big was going to happen in Little Saint's Manor, and important people were coming, and their status was quite noble.
An important minister of Qi State?
Zhang Liang thought for a while and felt that it was unlikely. Xiaoshengxian Village has always had a relationship with the officials of Qi State. Therefore, under normal circumstances, he rarely came here. Even if he did, Xiaoshengxian Village would not be like this.
Precious etiquette.
Looking at the gorgeous feathers placed in the distance, there are six pairs of rare and ancient beasts taken from Baiyue in the south of Lingnan, which shows that there is someone who is more powerful than the princes, but among the Xia, there are only a handful of people who are more powerful than the princes.
"It should be... the envoy from Qin is coming!"
Yan Lu also looked into the distance, with a slight smile on his face. There was news from Xianyang, and he already knew it. Although it was not the channel of Xiaoshengxian Village, it was not important.
"Envoy of the State of Qin!"
"This... Yingzheng wants Confucianism to stabilize Qilu, and then eliminate future troubles and attack Zhao brazenly!"
When Zhang Liang heard this, he had no doubts. There was a frown on his handsome face, and all kinds of things were rolling in his mind. The news of Qin's attack on Zhao was no secret in Xiaoshengxian Manor. Similarly, he also had some knowledge of Baijia's actions in Qilu.
Hear.
When Qin wants to move eastward, its first enemy is the three Jin states.
Now that the motherland, South Korea, has been destroyed, the next one must be Zhao. If not for the earthquake in the two Longxi counties of Qin last year, I am afraid there would have been a war. This year, it should be like this. Qin will attack Zhao. With the current national strength of Zhao, it is difficult for Qin to attack Zhao.
withstand.
Unless they unite again and persuade Wei, Qi, Chu, and Yan, they will have the power to resist Qin.
There shouldn't be a problem with Wei State. If Zhao State is destroyed, he will be next. In this way, the only important ones are Yan State and Qi State. During this period, hundreds of families are running for it.
But there was not much movement in the Little Sage Villa.
But now...Senior Brother Yan Lu actually told himself that the Qin envoy was coming to Confucianism. His mind was spinning, and in an instant, he realized the purpose of the Qin envoy coming to Confucianism at this time.
Apart from letting the Confucians take action to stabilize Qilu and suppress hundreds of schools of thought, Zhang Liang could not think of any other possibility.
For a moment, my face was extremely ugly!
Looking at the movements of the seniors and juniors in the Little Sage Village at this moment, Zhang Liang was able to determine that the attitude of the Confucian high-level officials towards the envoys of the State of Qin was an act of surrender.
"Zifang, do you have anger in your heart?"
Compared with the sudden change in Zhang Liang's expression at this moment, Yan Lu's expression on the side remained the same, still calm and calm, watching the Confucian disciples in the distance decorating things for guests and whispering to them.
"Brother, if Qi and Lu don't help Qin attack Zhao, Zhao will perish."
"Senior brother, are you unmoved?"
Zhang Liang was naturally angry, and Zhang Liang felt that he should be angry. Why did Xiaoshengxianzhuang surrender to Qin? Why did the Confucians make such a decision? And why did the senior brother beside him always treat it so calmly?
I also know a lot about the encounter with my senior brother. In this case, I should try my best to rescue Zhao Guo instead of staying out of it.
"Maybe I should be moved."
Yan Lu responded.
"Senior brother, if the State of Qi gives help, the State of Zhao is very confident that it can survive. As long as the Shandong countries are given time, they have a chance to compete with the State of Qin."
"At that time, all the countries will unite to defeat Qin and return to the pass. The Xia will remain as before, Korea will survive, and the three Jins will become strong again. Isn't it a good thing?"
Zhang Liang's heart sank and he was very puzzled.
"Since the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period has come together, and perhaps the trend of unification is really about to begin."
"Zifang, in the ancient times of the Xia Dynasty, there were three emperors who ruled the world, and five emperors established their relationships. For three generations, and continuing to this day, the Qin Kingdom, the Korean Kingdom, and the Zhao Kingdom are all the same."
"You are ten times more talented and knowledgeable than me. You should understand this clearly."
Yan Lu sighed, the hatred of family and country that Zifang carried was really heavy.
"That...is different!"
Zhang Liang shook his head, that... is really different, because the path Qin wants to take is different from the path Quicksand wants to take.
Before Ninth Young Master died, he stayed in Xinzheng. This was also his long-cherished wish.
"Can you stop the trend?"
Yan Lu asked.
The words fall.
Zhang Liang fell into silence.
Although I am in the Little Saint's Village, I am insignificant. My homeland has been destroyed. My strength is no more than that of Qin's. Compared to the Little Saint's Village, my voice is no more than the voice of a baby.
"Brother, there is no perfect trend!"
Zhang Liang was unwilling to give up.
No matter what the situation is now with the Qin State, there is always a chance with the yin and yang of heaven.
"However, the Six Nations have lost their own momentum."
"Han Fei's "Strengthening Han Shu" three times is Korea's last hope. Zhao Guo and Guo Kai have lost their last hope when they take the throne. Qi Guotian's loss of power has also lost his last hope."
"The two kings of the Chu State fought against each other. Within a few years, the country's power failed to advance but retreated. Prince Dan of the State of Yan only had a name for himself, but he did not last long. The six countries all had great power, but they could not survive."
"Zifang, you always understand in your heart!"
Yan Lu shook his head and smiled.
There are some things that Zifang has always been very clear in his heart, but he just doesn't dare to face them. Maybe he is afraid that there is really no hope, or maybe he is afraid of the complete destruction of his motherland.
Maybe something else.
Maybe there will be a turn of events, but not now. The current Xia countries, even if Qi helps Zhao, have little hope against Qin. If Qin is strong, if you want to weaken it, without external forces, the only way is to cause internal chaos.

******
The land of Lanling has been a bustling place for thousands of years.
There are many cities and city walls, and even under the night, there is still no trace of excitement. As a city of Chu State close to the border of Qi State, and as a city of Chu State near Jiangdong, it is a geographically important place.
Businessmen and merchants gathered here. Under the night, for ordinary people, it was a day of rest, but for them, it was a day of hard-earned enjoyment, with bright lights, green wine, and wonderful dancing.
Zilanxuan!
In just one year, she has become famous in the land of Lanling. The dancers there are not inferior to the dancers of Zhao State, the wines are not inferior to the characteristics of the Three Jins, and the beauties are unrivaled.
.
The purple gauze curtain flutters in the wind, and in the open space in front of the Purple Orchid Pavilion, rare plants are already glowing with fresh green. The purple brocade hanging on them adds to the mystery.
Stepping closer, wisps of sweet fragrance flowed out from the inside, breathing into the nostrils, making the whole body feel hot.
"Tonight there is an oiran, Chi Lian, dancing on the stage. She...is such a beauty!"
On the road far in front of the door, there were many carriages parked. Then, men wearing brocade clothes and holding gold and jade came down one after another. They looked at each other, their faces full of expectation.
The words are mixed with a different kind of profound meaning.
Smiling softly, they walked towards the Zilan Pavilion together.
"It's a pity that in recent years, it seems that no one in the land of Lanling has become the guest of the Chilian beauty."
The companion next to her also sighed and responded. She is such a beauty, with top-notch dancing and top-notch body and appearance. If she can be held in her arms, it will be a rare treat in the summer.
"Well, where did the dog come from?"
"Get out of here!"
Several people were laughing and whispering with interest. Suddenly, a dog walked out from the slightly dark depths of the plants. It had gray-black hair and was as big as an ordinary dog. It trotted forward, walked to the side of the people, and lifted it up.
I raise my legs to pee.
When those people saw this, they quickly kicked him over and yelled angrily.
"Ouch!"
Suddenly, the canine body flashed, directly avoiding the kicks of those people, and roared, the sound was hollow and long, mixed with a hint of wildness, and stood in front of those people, grinning with a fierce look.
And Xian, the two ears on the head are even more pointed.
"This sound..., this is..., this is a wolf!"
"How come there are wolves here!"
"……."
Several people were doing business, from south to north, from east to west, in the wilderness. Naturally, I had seen Yu Yelang many times. Just now, my vision was a little dim and I couldn't see clearly. Now with the light projected from the entrance of Zilanxuan, how could I not recognize it?
come out.
Feeling the familiar tight feeling all over their body when they saw a wild wolf, everyone was panicked in an instant, and their bodies retreated unconsciously. They screamed in surprise, and everyone around them screamed.
