Zhu Xia is like that. He can't do anything without power. Even if he does something, he will worry that the powerful person will ruin all his efforts with just one word.
That's not a joke. From ancient times to the future, it has been really difficult to do things without power!
Zhiyao thinks there is nothing wrong with Confucius wanting to be an official. Who doesn’t want to be an official?
It's okay to be an official just to do things, but if it's to test a certain theory, there is a group of people who are basically going to be out of luck.
It is said to be "practice", which means that an idea is not yet mature, and must be full of ups and downs. There will inevitably be some troubles. Being a test subject is either extremely unlucky, or you will live a good life, but the possibility of being unlucky is mostly unlucky.
In fact, in his life, Confucius only conducted "social practice" when he served as the Prime Minister of the State of Lu, and he did quite well in reality; the rest of his time was purely theoretical, and there was no room to display the knowledge he had mastered.
It is a pity that after Confucius resigned as the Prime Minister of Zhongdu, his achievements disappeared in a very short period of time. This incident once again proved that anything done without power can be wiped out at any time.
Zhiyao returned to the research on craftsmanship and worked hard to tinker with the waterwheel. She was surprised to find that the number of people visiting her increased.
In the early days, the people who came to visit Zhiyao were clan members and retainers. Later, other families also came as guests.
Visitors from small and medium-sized nobles do not need Zhiyao to appear in person. The Zhi family has many clan members or retainers who can entertain them on their behalf.
People with higher family backgrounds must go out from Zhiyao. This is the basis of reciprocal etiquette.
"The Prince of Zhao is visiting?" Zhiyao put down the planer in her hand, with an unexpected expression on her face.
The current eldest son of the Zhao family is called Zhao Bolu, who is the eldest son of Zhao Yang.
There is no doubt that the Zhao family is a big noble and needs Zhiyao to personally entertain her, so she has no choice but to freshen up and put on suitable clothes.
It's just that Zhao Bolu is already nineteen years old, and Zhiyao is only twelve years old during the Chinese New Year. There is an age difference of seven years, especially since Zhiyao is young. Is there any point in coming to visit?
That is meaningless under normal circumstances. For example, if a direct descendant of a certain family is eleven years old and does not hold any power in the family, it cannot be called a visit. At most, it is just a visit to have fun together.
Zhiyao's situation is obviously different from that of an ordinary eleven-year-old boy. He is favored by his grandfather and father, and has almost all the power of a family heir apparent.
"Zhao Meng is here, Peng Pi is in full glory." Zhiyao finished washing and dressing up and went out of the farm to greet him.
Zhao Bolu and others had actually been waiting outside the farm for a while.
The place where they were waiting was in a pavilion. There seemed to be hundreds of people coming. Most of the people in the team were armed men. There were quite a few servants, and they brought more than a dozen carts of things.
This pavilion is not a simple pavilion. It can be regarded as a "boundary monument" in the current era, indicating that passing the pavilion is the boundary of the "state" of the Lao Zhi family.
Pavilions are generally used to welcome guests and send them off, and are not a place for travelers to stop for a while, because there will be people stationed nearby waiting to welcome guests.
When guests come, they basically wait at the pavilion to be greeted by the host. If you don’t want to be embarrassed or too familiar, you can directly enter the farm boundary.
Zhiyao was very particular about calling Zhao Bolu "Zhao Meng". Many people in the old Zhao family were called "Zhao Meng".
For example, Zhao Wu a long time ago, people with equal status would call him "Zhao Meng"; Zhao Yang, who is now the head of the Zhao family, will also be called "Zhao Meng"; Zhao Bolu will not lose his status as the heir apparent.
Will be another "Zhao Meng".
So, does this "Zhao Meng" have any special meaning? Yes.
The successive heads of the Zhao family were all called "Zhao Meng" by the honorific title. People who had this title were Zhao Dun, Zhao Shuo, Zhao Wu and Zhao Yang, all of whom were the heads of the Zhao family.
"It shouldn't be like this." Zhao Bolu was very happy when he saw some retainers frowning and pretending to shirk them.
He said: "If this is the case, I will call you 'Uncle Zhi'."
The term "Zhi Bo" is also very specific, and generally refers to the "boss" of the Zhi family, that is, the clan member who is the direct descendant of a certain generation.
Zhao Bolu is tall, but he doesn't look heroic, and his skin is so fair that he looks pale.
It is definitely not because Zhao has Di blood that makes Zhao Bolu's skin so fair. At first glance, it is the result of being rarely exposed to wind and sun and pampering himself every day.
Zhiyao calling Zhao Bolu "Zhao Meng" can be regarded as a blessing.
Zhao Bolu called Zhi Yao "Uncle Zhi" to tease and provoke.
Is it just right? Zhiyao would not have any violent reaction. She would acquiesce in a matter-of-fact manner and then invite Zhao Bolu to go to the farm together.
"The change of the Zhi family happened in Zhiyao." Liang Ying's father said.
Who is this Liang Ying's father? He is the head of the Liang family of the Zhao family, and he gets along relatively closely with Zhisong.
Zhiyao had met Liang Ying's father, and when he saw Liang Ying's father hinting not to greet him warmly, he had just bowed from a distance without talking to him.
The current situation in Jin is still in chaos, including the problem of replacement of ministers.
Zhisong tried to force Zhong Xingqi to be promoted to no avail, so he recommended Liang Yingfu to take over the position of minister instead.
Logically speaking, even if Liang Ying's father and Zhishuo were relatively close, considering that the Liang family was a minor sect of the Zhao family, Zhao Yang should not be opposed.
However, Zhao Yang did not hesitate to express his objections to Zhisong's recommendation, which immediately angered Zhisong and Liang Ying's father.
Damn it! Is this the master of the sect?
As an outsider, even if I am closer to this outsider, the outsider still knows that there is a benefit in helping to organize things.
If the master of the big sect doesn't help speak for the sake of the small sect, why is he so resolutely opposed?
Who is Zhao Yang? He is the patriarch of the Zhao family, oh..., that's okay.
real!
It is not surprising that the leader of the Zhao family does anything, such as regicide, killing relatives, and other things that break the rules.
"The scenery here is unique." Zhao Bolu didn't know where to start the communication, so he said useless words.
Zhiyao also saw Zhao Wuxie just now, and was surprised that the concubine of the Zhao family was not sent back to "Zhao" city?
He exchanged a few beeps with Zhao Bolu, feeling frustrated that they were talking about useless things. He turned to look at Liang Ying's father and asked, "Doctor, are you here...?"
Zhao Bolu rushed to speak and said: "My uncle is passing through this place and will go to Ju State immediately."
So that’s what happened?
But something is a little wrong.
After all, he is the master of a family. It seems that there are not many Liang family members in the visiting team. Is it safe to go to Ju State?
What Zhiyao is more curious about is a person who can follow Liang Yingfu and Zhao Bolu into the house together.
This man looked very heroic, but he had a gloomy look on his face, and he could tell that he was harboring something. His name was Yurang, and he was the grandson of Bi You. He deliberately followed Zhao's team here, and would later go to Ju with Liang Ying's father.
country.
The Bi family is one of the minor sects of the Wei family. The reason why Yurang does not have the prefix "Wei" or "Bi" obviously has an internal story.
Yu Rang had more than one conflict with Liang Ying's father. He thought Liang Ying's father was an out-and-out despicable villain. How could such a person go to Ju with Liang Ying's father?
Then, the replacement of the ministerial position of the Jin State is about to be finalized. What is Liang Ying's father, who has a certain chance of winning the ministerial position, going to Ju State now?
