Chapter 170 Sun Shuao·Wen Fengjun
The next day.
Feng Yun lived in the pavilion, studying ritual music alone, reading ancient books, and studying dance music.
He seemed to know that Sun Shuao wanted to come to see Feng Yun today, but everyone around him retreated, even the two princesses who had been pestering Feng Yun all day were nowhere to be seen.
"Fengjun is well, Sun Shuao came to ask to see Fengjun."
Sun Shuao was short in stature, but he looked capable, like an old farmer in the fields, but his brows were full of wisdom, he behaved in a regular manner, and his manners were generous.
Feng Yun stood up to greet him.
"I am here today to practice etiquette and music, but I would like to treat Mr. Sun briefly."
"Oh, haha, it's Shu Ao who wants to ask for something, how can I bother Mr. Feng."
Sun Shuao was straightforward and determined the tone of today's argument in one sentence.
The two greeted each other and sat opposite each other.
Looking at the book of rituals and music on the table, Sun Shuao seemed to be looking for words.
Feng Yun said, "Mr. Sun wants to ask Yu about water control."
Sun Shuao was not formal and nodded in agreement.
"Feng Jun once cured the Shun River floods in Yuyue, and he cured the Pengli Ze floods in Baiyue. They were both perfect. It can be seen that Feng Jun has a deep research on the method of water control."
"Our country of Chu is located south of the Yangtze River. Floods occur frequently, which is detrimental to the people."
"Earlier, I inspected the Chu region and tried my best to find the Chu State's Shao Di as a checkpoint. Then I built a dam to cut off the water and intercept it, so as to stabilize the water in the Chu region... But."
Sun Shuao looked ashamed.
"I underestimated the power of the water, and the embankments will be difficult to support. During the rainy season next summer, I am afraid that the embankments will collapse and floods will invade."
Hearing the sound, the green branches in Feng Yun's bun moved slightly, and he saw a small cauldron flying into Feng Yun's hand.
"This is the Yu Ding obtained by Yu when he was in Yu Yue to control the floods. It includes the process of Yu's surveying the mountains and surveying the land, and the constellations to determine the water."
Feng Yun handed it out, and Sun Shuao took it respectfully.
"As for the flood in Penglize, Baiyue, Qu Yuan has some opinions. Mr. Sun can take Qu Yuan there..."
After thinking about it, Feng Yun added: "Qu Yuan was well aware of Yu's writings in Baiyue. He should have taken Yu into consideration, so he talked less about his writings and more about his own thoughts."
"After that, I will tell Qu Yuan that he will tell him everything he knows and don't take it into consideration, so that Mr. Sun can think of ways to control the water."
Although Feng Yun told Qu Yuan that his profound way could be appreciated by everyone.
However, he did not dare to disclose the policies of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements in "The Kingdoms and Baiyue" written by Xuanmen together. So Qu Yuan went to Shaodi and would not tell Feng Yun's Yang policy and Fengze Wushen.
Sui Qu originally had some suggestions for water control, but they were not comprehensive.
When Sun Shuao heard this, he seemed to remember that when Qu Yuan first came to Shaodi, he did have some suggestions for water control, but he thought that Qu Yuan was not familiar with water matters and did not delve into it more deeply.
When he heard this, he sighed slightly and said: "That's the case. No wonder Sergeant Curry has so many ideas."
But then he sighed: "Feng Jun really doesn't want to serve in the Chu Kingdom?"
Perhaps Chu Jun could not see clearly the dignitaries and scholar-bureaucrats of Chu State, but Sun Shuao understood very well that if Feng Yun wanted to become an official, he would not refuse this opportunity.
This opportunity is something that Chu Jun also tacitly agrees to. After all, the matter of Shaodi is too important, and it is not inferior to the Yangyue Land.
But Feng Yun rejected this idea of establishing merit.
"I have already served as an official in the Baiyue Kingdom and became the Prime Minister of a country. When I became the Prime Minister, I thought about it, why did I become the Prime Minister?"
"Call for a country?"
"Call for the people of a country?"
Feng Yun told him in detail, and Sun Shuao, who had obtained Feng Yun's water control method, was no longer in a hurry. At this time, he was sitting upright. He knew clearly that Feng Yun wanted to discuss the way to govern the country with him.
"Has there ever been an eternal kingdom throughout the ages?" Feng Yun looked at Sun Shuao.
Sun Shuao frowned.
Feng Yun explained: "There is no eternal country, let alone people with endless life span."
"The cycle of life and death is the way the heaven and earth move. However, during this period, the human race has been passed down from afar. The human race may also have its birth and death, but compared to a country or people, it is like a galaxy and twinkling stars.
"
Feng Yun raised his hand, and on the top of the pavilion, there was a vast river of stars. The stars flickered and disappeared, appearing in the world in an instant, bright but short-lived.
Sun Shuao looked at the sea of stars without saying a word.
Feng Yun continued: "I only hope to record the events of Chu in the Chu Kingdom and write a book "States of Chu", so that it can be viewed by future generations, so as to understand the success and failure experiences accumulated by the ancestors, and the hidden meanings contained in it.
Wisdom may be the only thing left in my life."
After Feng Yun finished speaking, he waved his hand and the sea of stars had passed away.
Sun Shuao stood up, held the Yu Ding and saluted, saying: "Feng Yun's wish cannot be fulfilled. Even the star of a moment has not moved its light."
Sun Shuao said goodbye.
The next day, Qu Yuan also came to express his gratitude and asked to leave, saying that he would meet again when Qiu Feng went to Zeng State.
In this way, Feng Yun continued to study rituals and music in order to discuss the Zeng Guo Yahui not long after.
…
"Duo..."
"Bah bang bang!"
"Feng Jun is indeed a genius. After only half a month, the sound of the piano was as loud as wild geese singing. In a trance, I was also moved."
In the side hall of the Palace of Classics, Shen Yinhua sighed.
Mi Shu and Mi Yue on the side looked at Feng Yun with reverence.
The two of them understood that just now Feng Yun's piano sound would be difficult to achieve even if they practiced hard for several years.
"Fengjun is so awesome." Mi Shu sighed, bowing her head shyly.
Mi Yue nodded, but said angrily: "We were the ones who taught Feng Jun how to play the piano half a month ago, but now I'm afraid he has to teach us."
Mi Yue's little temperament likes to be a teacher, but she doesn't hide it. Seeing Feng Yun's rapid progress, she feels helpless and angry.
"Haha." Mi Shu pursed her lips and chuckled.
Here, Feng Yun calmed down his momentum and straightened the strings.
In his mind, he had learned so much about etiquette and music during this period of time, and what he knew and memorized was even difficult for Shen Yinhua to compare with.
Nowadays, the skills are not low, but the emotion is slightly worse.
"Tomorrow, it's time to go to Zeng State." Feng Yun asked Shen Yinhua.
Shen Yinhua nodded and looked at Mi Yue and Mi Shu beside him, slightly helpless.
Mi Yue saw this and looked at Mi Shu with a playful smile.
Mi Shu smiled implicitly, and took Mi Yue forward to salute: "My father allows Mi Shu and Mi Yue to go to Zeng State to watch the rites and music. I would like to trouble Master Shen and Lord Feng to take care of them this time."
Feng Yun was slightly surprised, but he also understood how much Chu Jun loved his daughter, so there was no problem in going to Zeng Country, which was not a country of wolves, tigers and leopards.
"The two princesses are studying hard. Your Majesty has ordered that upon your return, your Majesty will assess the two princesses to prove that you have gained something from watching the rituals and enjoyed them, instead of just playing around and forgetting to learn."
Hearing this, Mi Shu nodded and promised to obey the king's order.
In his words and deeds, there is already a noble, courteous and courteous attitude.
But Mi Yue muttered: "I knew how could my father agree so easily."
Although he was mumbling, the excitement in his eyes did not diminish.
"Jun Feng... Doctor Qu is here."
Doctor Qu, now Qu Yuan has also become a high-ranking official in the state of Chu and is temporarily serving as a ceremonial official. However, in fact, the king of Chu has already wanted to transfer to a political official.
"Invite him in." Feng Yun responded.
Not long after, Qu Yuan entered the palace, and then he held a wooden plate in his hand, with Feng Yun's Yuding on it.
"Master Feng, Mr. Sun Shu'ao has found a way to control the water and is currently working on it. He cannot come to see him off, so he asked the original representative to return it to Yu Ding."
Feng Yun nodded, and the Yuding also turned into a stream of light and returned to the green branches.
In this way, one day later, Feng Yun was also ready to go to Zeng State.
But Manwa never went there.
Feng Yun didn't care. He just comforted Manwa with a few words before leaving and asked him to learn Zhou Yan. Otherwise, he would be in trouble when traveling to the Zhou kingdoms.
"Fengjun, please get in the car."
Outside the Palace of Classics, Mr. Shen Yinhua had already boarded the carriage. As for Feng Yun, he was traveling in a four-horse carriage and was the top official of the Qing Dynasty.
"Who are you?"
Feng Yunwang saw that the person who was driving the horse was a young man who was dressed luxuriously and walked steadily. He was not an ordinary person when he thought about it.
"In response to Fengjun, I am the Xiang family of Chu State, and my name is Yan. I will serve Fengjun to control the horse. If Fengjun has something to do, he can also call Yan by his name."
Hearing the sound, Feng Yun nodded, and with his help, got into the carriage.
Xiang Yan, a very familiar name.
Chu State, Xiang family...
Yes, Feng Yun remembered that this person should be a famous general in the Warring States Period, and he was also Xiang Yu's elder, but at this time...
Thinking of the young-looking Xiang Yan, who was a few years younger than himself, Feng Yun felt helpless. Something went wrong during the Zhou Dynasty, and all the people from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods gathered together.
in this way……
"It's also interesting. I heard that Laozi and Zhuangzi were discussing Taoism. What would it be like?"
Feng Yun sighed.
And the carriage gradually started to rise.
Feng Yun asked: "Brother Xiang, I wonder how old you are?"
"Jun Feng, you can just call me Xiang Yan. I am already fifteen this year."
"Fifteen, that's quite a few." Feng Yun murmured softly.
But then I heard Xiang Yan say with a hint of embarrassment: "I'm not young now, and my mother has already started making plans to find a wife for me."
"Ah..." Feng Yun smiled hoarsely.
"You are no longer young, you have a family and a career, but this is the case."
Although people at this time have extraordinary powers, their life span is also short.
Even those ethereal Qi refiners could not stay in the world for a long time. Therefore, most of the noble families at this time got married when they were more than ten years old.
Feng Yun's family was poor and his parents died early, but he couldn't do this.
But when he became a minor official in the court and gradually rose to a higher position, he was about to become an official, and my sister-in-law did not dare to disturb her at this time. Now that she has traveled to many countries, she does not dare to delay her, so she is also alone, which is a little different.
"Drive... call!"
A fast horse came galloping, and there was a sound of horse hooves outside the carriage.
Feng Yun didn't even open the curtains, but he knew it was a group of cavalry.
"Fengjun, I will escort you to Zeng State this time." Zhaoyang's voice came from the window.
Feng Yun responded: "Thank you Sima."
"Master Feng, I wish you a smooth journey." After Sima finished speaking, he gave instructions to the cavalry to protect the rest of the carriages and horses.
When Qu Yuan's chariot also arrived, he set off and marched in formation from the gate of the capital city of Ying in the state of Chu.
His country, Zeng, was a large country adjacent to the Han River. His early departure was also a sign of Chu's respect for the Rites of Zhou.
On the way, Zhaoyang rode on horseback, opened the curtains, and handed over a long sword.
It is Long Yuan.
"Master Feng, can you tell me who made this sword? It's so extraordinary."
Feng Yun took Long Yuan's hand, his voice trembled, as if he was happy.
Looking at Zhaoyang, I felt disappointed.
Long Yuan has a spirit that cannot be used by others. Even if he gets it, he can't draw his sword to fight the enemy, just like scrap copper.
Feng Yun gently comforted Long Yuan and said to Zhaoyang: "The person who forged this sword has no intention of entering a country. He forged the sword as his destiny, and I don't want to destroy it."
Zhaoyang is sorry.
But then he said: "I wonder if I can use Master Feng's words to make a sword for me. If the master is lacking something, I can find it for him."
Today's long swords are bronze swords, which are very rigid, but their blades are also constrained to be longer than daggers, otherwise they may break.
But Long Yuan is an iron sword, like a silver dragon, long and solemn. It is much longer than the bronze sword and is easier to fight against the enemy.
"I understand Sima's heart."
Warriors, who doesn't like to have a good sword? Even monarchs and gentlemen wear swords as a courtesy.
"But the sword has spirituality, and it recognizes itself as its owner. If you are destined, I think you will meet the sword you love."
Hearing this, Zhaoyang knew that Feng Yun would not tell the master Zhujiang or his intention to recommend him, so he left and left without any further entanglement.
At night, the carriage stopped for a while and food was cooked over a bonfire.
"Feng Jun, please." Qu Yuan brought the minced meat soup on a wooden plate and brought it to Feng Yun respectfully. Next to the minced meat, there were vegetables, fruits, and even a glass of warm wine. It can be seen that Chu's diet was even
It's not ambiguous outside either.
Feng Yun thanked him, but Qu Yuan did not dare to respond.
"Feng Jun taught Yu Xuanmen the way. He should have been paid as a teacher, but how dare he be thanked."
After being fed by Feng Yun, Qu Yuan retreated and went to eat.
Feng Yun was helpless.
Qu Yuan was quick-witted and quick-thinking, but he did not dare to disobey this honor and protect the country.
At this time, a soldier came to report.
"Report to Sima Zhaoyang, Yangyue comes to repay..."
The armored soldier said nothing, looked at Zhaoyang who was eclipsing, and signaled to take shelter temporarily.
Zhaoyang nodded and avoided talking to others privately.
Not long after, Zhaoyang walked back.
Qu Yuan looked at him, as if he was asking, but he didn't force him.
Zhaoyang said: "Yangyue is at war with Hubei, so we need to take some detours to avoid getting too close to the border between the two countries and causing more trouble."
Qu Yuan nodded,
"We only want to go to Zeng State, but safety is our top priority."
Qu Yuan didn't know the reason. Feng Yun heard the sound and looked to the sky.
The night sky was hazy, and it looked a little cold under the autumn wind.
"Between rise and fall, the nation suffers."
Feng Yun also knew that a surprise attack on Yangyue would be a strategy that would at least hurt the people and allow the Chu State to win the Yangyue War. As for what happened after the war, the powerful clans who fled Yangyue wanted to avenge the Chu State, but it was all in vain.
Already.
And Chu State would not miss the opportunity to completely devour Yangyue.
It can only be said that if you can't afford a big war, you can't stop fighting small wars.
"The alternation of rise and fall is also the general trend. The continuation of the human race cannot be separated from merger."
Feng Yun did not have a compassionate mentality, and sighed slightly, saying that he would not stop Chu State's actions. From the perspective of the future of the human race, under the general trend, one of Yang Yue and Chu State would definitely disappear.
"Fengjun, what do you think will happen to the Yangyue clan after their defeat?" Zhaoyang came to Feng Yun and wanted to hear Feng Yun's deduction of the battle situation.
It's a pity that Zhaoyang was disappointed.
"If I am not in my position, I will not seek my position. I am not from the Chu State, nor from the Yangyue State. From the perspective of the human race, the situation between the several countries at this time is already the optimal solution, so there is no need to interfere anymore."
Zhaoyang heard about it and wanted to talk about it again.
After Feng Yun finished eating, he stood up and said: "Yang Yue is fighting against E. It is at a dead end. Chu Fei is a cruel and incompetent king. The victory or defeat has been decided."
Feng Yun left slowly and returned to the carriage. He ignored what the people outside thought and said about the war between Yangyue and Hubei. He took out the book of rituals and music and continued to read.
At this time, Feng Yun's first priority was to go to Zeng State and practice rituals and music.
As for Yangyue... the subjugation of the country is not the subjugation of the people. The state of Chu has great ambitions and will not engage in traps and killings.
