Chapter 87 Chapter 87: Second invitation to Shangshan Sihao
On this day, a group of three people entered Shangshan Mountain through the fallen leaves of late autumn, and walked along the forest path toward several thatched cottages on the mountainside. These three people were Fusu and his group, except for Fusu and Meng Yi.
man, and an attendant.
When Fusu and the others reached a platform halfway up the mountain, they were instantly fascinated by the scenery on the mountain. The Qinling Mountains in the distance were hidden in the sea of mist and clouds, like a dream.
Looking at the thatched cottage where the "Shangshan Sihao" lived from the platform where Fusu was, there was actually a bit of ethereal air, and it looked like a residence of gods.
"These old naughty guys know how to pick places." Fusu sighed with a smile.
After a while, Fusu and the others arrived at the largest thatched cottage and knocked on the wood door of the courtyard outside the thatched cottage.
I saw a boy with a bunch of shackles walking out of the inner hall, looking at Fusu and the three of them curiously. When the boy saw Meng Yi standing behind Fusu, he said in surprise: "Why?
You, my master asked you to leave on your own, why are you here again?"
Fusu turned around and looked at Meng Yi who was standing behind him, and saw that Meng Yi was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to deal with himself.
"It seems that Meng Yi is also well aware of the reputation of these four great sages. After all, they are beings that even the First Emperor and Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty could not invite." Fusu looked at Meng Yi and smiled knowingly.
"This little brother, please go and report to your master again, and tell Master Da Qin to help Su pay a visit." Meng Yi begged to the little brother, licking his face.
Seeing that Meng Yi's pleading attitude was really pitiful, the boy had no choice but to return to the thatched cottage again to report to his master the news of Master Da Qin's visit.
After a while, the little boy left and returned, but with a striking look of annoyance on his face. He had obviously been scolded or scolded by his master. It seemed that his master was unwilling to receive Fusu and his party.
"Gentlemen, my master does not want to see you, so please help yourself."
When he learned from the little boy that the "Shangshan Four Hao" were unwilling to receive him and his party, Fusu became angry instantly. He ignored the boy's expulsion order and strode into the courtyard and walked towards the inner hall.
Meng Yi and his attendants stared at Fusu blankly, and had no choice but to follow him. The boy wanted to stop him, but Fusu walked too fast and was about to enter the inner hall. He shook his head in annoyance and followed the steps.
Su chased him in the direction.
Just when Fusu was about to step into the thatched cottage, two gray-haired old men appeared in front of Fusu, blocking Fusu's way.
"The old man originally thought that Master Da Qin was a man of courtesy and shame, but he never thought that he would be like his father, a man of little etiquette and lack of righteousness. He did not respect the etiquette system and did not obey the holy precepts."
"Shut up!" Meng Yi angrily looked at Xia Huanggong Cui Guang who was sarcastic about Fusu and scolded him.
"Step back, you have no place to speak here." Fusu scolded Meng Yi.
"I wonder who the old gentleman is?"
Fusu leaned over, bowed to the old man who was mocking him, and asked.
"Old Man Cui Guang"
"It turns out it's Mr. Xia Huang. I'm sorry. Fusu just has a question. I want to ask the old gentleman to help me. I hope you can give me some advice."
Xiahuang Gong Cui Guang glanced at Fusu, then nodded to Fusu, indicating that he was willing to answer Fusu's questions.
"Fusu is ignorant. Mr. Suwen is well versed in the principles of saints and virtues. I just heard that the teachings of saints and sages are in 'benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith.' The three of us took the trouble to come from Xianyang to pay homage to you, but we were rejected by you."
Outside the door, is this the 'etiquette' taught by the sages? When Mr. Shicai insulted the late emperor to Fusu, he was actually insulting the father to his son. Is this the 'benevolence' taught by the sages? Now that the world is united, the common people expect
In the hope of receiving enlightenment from the sages, you abandon your responsibility to teach and live here. Is this the 'righteousness' mentioned by the sages?"
"You..." Xia Huanggong and Cui Guang were so angry that they were speechless.
Fusu glanced at the old men with disdain and continued:
"Although Fusu is stupid, he knows that he is a sage and has inherited his unique knowledge. He is here to invite all the great sages to educate the common people in our great Qin Dynasty. Although the princes are wise, they live in the corners of the mountains. They think they are noble and ignore the sages' earnest teachings. In fact,
For this person who is the most disrespectful person in the world who values benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom, and trust, he owes a debt of gratitude to heaven for his creation, and is a man of shame for the people’s earnest expectations. He is even more of a man for the teachings of the saints that he has practiced.”
After Fusu finished speaking, Cui Guang, Duke of Xiahuang, was furious with Fusu, but he was speechless for a while. After all, what Fusu said was not unreasonable.
"You are such a sharp-tongued Master of the Qin Dynasty. Among all the eloquent people in the world, there are really not many people who can match Duke Xia Huang. However, you are able to refute Duke Xia Huang to the point where he is speechless. This is considered a bit of talent. However,
These words alone cannot persuade me to come down the mountain." Dongyuan Gong Tang Bing said to Fusu with a smile.
Seeing Dongyuan Gong Tang Bing speak, several other people followed suit.
"The old man also thinks that what Mr. Dongyuan said is reasonable. If you think that you can trick me into waiting for me to come down the mountain with just your sharp tongue, then you are looking down on me."
Mr. Luli Zhou Shu looked at Fusu with great interest and added.
"Gentlemen, our people of the Qin Dynasty are looking forward to the teachings of the sages as they long for the dawn in the long night. Fusu implores all the sages to follow me down the mountain to preside over our Taixue of the Qin Dynasty and reveal the unique knowledge of the sages. If you have any requests from the sages, just say it.
, Fusu will definitely comply."
"This is what you said!" Qili Ji Wushi immediately opened his mouth and blocked Fusu's retreat.
Fusu stared at the "Shangshan Four Hao" blankly, and saw a hint of cunning hidden in the smiles of the "Shangshan Four Hao". Fusu immediately had a bad premonition, secretly thinking that something was wrong, he seemed to be in this trap.
The four of them were fooled, so they had no choice but to nod to the four of them, indicating that they were willing to accept the conditions they proposed.
Alas, if you build an archway yourself, even if you hang yourself, you will still hang yourself under the archway.
"The four of us have heard that the old man from Huaiyang, Ying Yao, is a righteous man and we are willing to make friends with him. I wonder if the young master knows this person. If the young master can invite this Ying Yao to the Great Qin court, we will go down the mountain with the young master to assist him in educating the people.
If you, sir, please do not move, I also ask you, sir, not to embarrass these four old men any more."
It was only then that Fusu realized that these four old "thieves" had come up with this trick a long time ago. I am afraid that the Ying Yao they mentioned was not someone who could be easily mobilized. Obviously, they had expected that he would
The merchants came here to invite them, so they had made up the trap early and just waited for themselves to get inside.
Fusu looked at the four people in front of him with a smile, "These are not the 'Shangshan Four Hao', they are clearly the 'Shangshan Four Chicken Thieves'. These bad old men are very bad!" Fusu said angrily.
After a while, Fusu reluctantly told "Shangshan Sihao" his decision.
"Okay, just follow what the four gentlemen said."
"The four old men will congratulate you in advance on recruiting Ying Yao as soon as possible." Cui Guang, Duke of Xiahuang, smiled and saluted Fusu.
…
After Fusu and the others left, the four "old chicken thieves" returned to the inner hall happily, sat on their knees around the table, and started chatting happily.
"Xia Huanggong, do you think this boy can invite Ying Yao?" Zhou Shu, Mr. Luli asked.
"Ying Yao is a stubborn and free-spirited person, and he doesn't want to become an official. I thought this kid was going to suffer from Ying Yao."
"You two, I don't think so. I think Fusu is definitely an ordinary person. Maybe Ying Yao can be invited."
After Qili Ji finished speaking, the other three people looked at each other, obviously they thought that there was a certain possibility that Fusu would ask Ying Yao.
"Forget it, if this kid can really invite Ying Yao, we can only go down the mountain to help him."
Tang Bing, the Duke of Dongyuan, said to the three of them with a profound look on his face.
