Chapter 36: Taking in the gift bag that Confucius gave
It stands to reason that the Zhao family, Wei family and Han family lost so many troops in the civil war, while the Zhi family suffered almost no losses. Zhizhuo should not be so cowardly.
What is more realistic is that Zhishuo's own character cannot be strong. Furthermore, considering that the next generation of Zhishi's leader Zhishen is also a person with a weak personality, what Zhishi needs to do is to stay dormant and cannot easily follow those who are in the limelight.
Zhao has a tough front.
Feeling aggrieved is definitely aggrieved, and reality is also reality. What gives the Zhi family members and retainers some comfort is that Zhiyao is worth looking forward to.
"Li Er has a wonderful saying, 'Heaven wants it to perish, but it will make it mad.'" Zhi Suo summoned the main clan members and retainers of the Zhi family to hold a meeting to stabilize the internal affairs.
What? That sentence "If Heaven wants it to perish, it will drive it crazy" was actually said by Lao Tzu?
It may not have been the case before, but with this version of the time traveler Zhiyao, that sentence was truly spoken by me.
When I was still "Huangfu", I became obsessed with studying all things in nature, and my theory of "Tao" took shape.
If Lao Tzu can create a great work in "Huang Fu", it is inevitable that his name will remain in history, and he will inevitably be recorded as belonging to the old wise family.
It's a pity that I don't know what I realized, so I asked someone to say goodbye to Zhi on my behalf, and took his entourage back to his former home (Chu State).
This time, I have really left. I don’t know if I will come to Zhi’s again as a guest.
Zhizong did not specifically name him, but those who understood him knew clearly that he meant Zhao Yang. It was all because after the civil war came to an end, Zhao Yang became more and more arrogant and domineering.
"Your Majesty has given many honors to the Central Military Assistant. Why?" Fu Guo asked.
Nowadays, there is no such thing as "adding nine tins and crowning with ten beauties". However, when meeting the king of a country, one should still attend court and sign up for praise and worship.
Today's nobles almost never leave their swords, and it is a basic understanding to take off their clothes when entering a house, so "going to the palace with swords and shoes" is not considered an honor.
What Fu Guo mentioned was that the king specially gave Zhao Yang the privileges of "not meeting him in person" and "praising and worshiping without his name", which further increased the prestige belonging to the Zhao family.
Zhizong frowned and glanced at Fu Guo, saying that it was impossible to answer.
He's just the leader of a small sect. If he doesn't hold accountable some of the things he did in the past, how can he still act like this?
Fuguo simply asked and answered his own question, saying: "That's what the Lord said, if God wants it to die, it will be driven crazy."
This time Zhizong was even more unhappy.
Although the people present were either core members of the Zhi family or trusted retainers, the head of the family was not seen and he was just mentioning it in a vague way? What's the point of naming someone by name!
Today, in addition to stabilizing everyone's mentality, Zhizong also has to make arrangements for what the family will do next.
Again, Zhishi needs to stay dormant, but that doesn't mean he doesn't do anything. Keeping a low profile externally is a strategy. Internal development must not be left behind but must be carefully planned and implemented.
"When your heir turns six years old, you need to summon him and send him to Yao." Zhishuo said.
One sentence made many people stunned.
After the coronation ceremony, they almost got married. None of them had a few sons, but many of them had grandchildren.
What did Zhi Xuwu think of first and asked: "Master, are you going to 'Huang Father'?"
Regarding the fact that Zhiyao has a group of schoolmates, not many people may have noticed before. After Zhiyao's performance, especially the last time the family was purged, many people suddenly appeared to take over the vacated positions. I think
It would be difficult to keep them from paying attention.
They found that there were still familiar young men among that group of people. They might be members of the tribe who were not valued in the tribe, or they might be the children of retainers or "scholars" or "disciples". They disappeared for a period of time and then reappeared, one by one.
He has mastered knowledge that even his elders were surprised by, and he can actually use it.
With Zhi Xuwu's prompting, some people who thought they were going to let their heirs act as "protons" came to their senses and hurriedly agreed, their hearts filled with expectations.
"Lord, can there be a finite number?" a tribesman asked.
This time Zhizong was stunned and thought: "Yes, Yao didn't say the number of people."
The clan members and retainers of the Lao Zhi family definitely do not want a limit on the number of people they can join, and wish that all their descendants would have the opportunity to learn.
And Zhiyao actually allowed the old Zhi family to enter the era of private schools in advance. Even though it was just such a small move, it immediately "fast forwarded" six to seven hundred years, and even more than 1,500 years.
!
Historically, it was not until the Western Han Dynasty that family private schools admitted ordinary tribesmen to study; it was not until the Northern Song Dynasty that large-scale admission of non-tribes became the norm.
"The original version of the Tao Te Ching?" Zhiyao did not participate in the family meeting, holding in her hand the unfinished work that I left behind before leaving.
The Tao can be Tao, but it is not Tao; the name can be named, but it is not named.
Have you heard of it?
Zhiyao has the "Tao Te Ching" written by Lao Tzu himself, and it is still an incomplete version!
If this "draft" can be properly preserved and preserved until modern times, it can be regarded as a priceless treasure, right? If it is put up for auction, the autographed incomplete version will definitely fetch a higher auction price than the autographed complete version.
Zhiyao is certainly no stranger to the Tao Te Ching, but like many others, she cannot remember the entire text.
In fact, it is the same. Even if you memorize it by rote, you will forget most of it over time. If you can remember a few complete sentences, it is considered good.
"I am planning to go west and become a beard?" Zhiyao thought that must be the case.
Of course, the current Hangu Pass is not the same one as the well-known one.
There are three Hangu Passes in history. The first one is actually the Taolinsai Pass built during the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the second one was built after the Qin State captured Hexi, and the third one was built during the Western Han Dynasty.
Hangu Pass.
The one at Taolinsai still exists at present. If I leave Huahu in the west, I will pass through Hangu Pass like this one.
The current Hangu Pass is within the territory of the Jin State, but the control is in the hands of the Yin family of the Zhou royal family.
So maybe it's not correct? Now it is considered an area ruled by a country. It needs to build a city and have artificial traces, such as cultivating farmland. The rest of the areas that are not within the radiation range of the city are considered unclaimed land.
In human terms, power belongs to a certain area within a city. Where there is no city, there is no owner.
Therefore, one of the Yin family's fiefdoms, Hangu Pass, is located between many cities in the Jin Kingdom. It is a little strange that the situation is like this.
"I'm gone, Confucius is here..." Zhiyao was very happy to have another guest who was a good teacher, and she was also very happy because Confucius brought more than two hundred disciples.
In this era, it is nothing to bring dozens or hundreds of people with you when you go out. Whoever can bring more than two hundred people who are not only literate but can also fight is truly awesome!
"These are more than two hundred cultural people with their own strengths!" Zhiyao has already thought about how to play their role and increase the scale of the private school!
By the way, if this is done, will all members of the Zhi family become "Confucian"?
