Even though Chen Ping scolded him in person, Sima Jizhu was still able to remain calm.
The astonishment quickly subsided, and a smile appeared on his face again, not caring about being scolded at all.
Liu Chang pointed at him and said with a smile: "Why didn't you expect this to happen before you stopped Qu Nihou?"
Sima Jizhu laughed and replied: "What I learned is to cultivate my own moral knowledge, cultivate my character, and pursue the path of a moral gentleman. This learning is not as good as Qu Nihou's knowledge that can pacify the world, so Qu Nihou should also despise it."
"Not just scolding me, even if he spits on my face, I won't be angry at all."
Hearing this sentence, Lu Lu shook his head disdainfully.
"It sounds nice, you have to dare to be angry, this old dog..."
After whispering a few words, Lu Lu was shocked by his words. How could he say such rude words? No matter how bad the person in front of him is, he is a scholar. It seems that he has been with His Majesty for too long and has been ruined by His Majesty. As Marquis of Jiancheng, I know the etiquette! I can't be like His Majesty!
He thought, and couldn't help looking at Liu Chang, but the moment he saw the emperor, Lu Lu's heart stabilized.
Because Liu Chang was eager to try, he was about to spit on Sima Jizhu's face. There was no other meaning, just to see if he would be angry.
At this moment, Lu Lu understood that if he was worried too much, he would not be like His Majesty. He was still several levels away from His Majesty.
Sima Jizhu looked at the foolish monarch who was eager to try in front of him, but he was still greeted with a smile.
"long?!"
Just as Liu Chang was about to take action, he interrupted Chang Liu with a shout.
Chief Liu was alert and hurriedly turned around to look.
I don’t know when my mother appeared at the door, but I was staring at me coldly at this moment, and there were still a few men next to her.
"My mother??Why are you here???"
Liu Chang was a little confused. He hurriedly stopped his actions, smiled all over his face, and glanced at Liu An inadvertently and narrowed his eyes.
But Liu An understood Ah Father’s questioning.
Did you bring the Queen Mother here?
Liu An was full of grievance and shook his head quickly.
It's not me!!
The father and son's eye contact could not be hidden from the Empress Dowager. Empress Lu slowly walked to Sima Jizhu with a crutch and asked with a smile: "But Sima Gong?"
Sima Jizhu hurriedly paid a visit.
Empress Lu smiled and said, "I heard about your reputation very early. I invited you to assist the prince, but you never came... How could you be here now?"
Liu Chang was stunned. This was still an acquaintance of his mother.
Seeing the two of them talking, Liu Chang pulled his mother's sleeve and said without hesitation: "This is a rat! Why is this mother like this?"
Empress Lu just glanced at Liu Chang. There was a reason why Chen Ping looked down on him, but why did you look down on him?
She said: "You must not be rude. Sima Gong is very talented and proficient in Confucianism. Huang Lao's theory. Rufu Qiubo once praised his knowledge of governing the Book of Changes. Wang Sheng also asked him about the Book of Huangdi. This is a great sage hiding in the downtown city. How can you insult him?"
"I will scold the great wise man who doesn't hide..."
Empress Lu ignored this man anymore and just invited Sima Jizhu to sit down, the Empress Dowager sat in the upper position, and President Liu stood aside.
Liu Chang had no idea why his mother came out, and was even so polite to such a bad old man.
Among those people, except for Liu An, the other people looked at Sima Jizhu with disdain.
The conversation between them was particularly boring to Liu Chang, and he almost fell asleep while standing.
At this moment, the Empress Dowager suddenly asked, "I heard that there was a Mao Xi Duke of Zhao State. Le Yi had visited and asked for advice. The people of Le Yi's tribe were like Le Xia Duke, and Le Chen Duke regarded him as his teacher. Later, Zhao State fell, Le Chen Duke went to Qi State, and Le Xia Duke went to Chu State... You are learning the school of Le Xia Duke, and you know the knowledge of Mao Xi Duke that many outsiders don't know. But if you have such knowledge, why don't you teach your disciples, but instead do what kind of divination people do in the market?"
Liu Chang narrowed his eyes and felt immediately clear.
I couldn't help but take a look at Liu An.
My mother really prefers this guy.
Sima Jizhu said with a wry smile, "I have also recruited many disciples, but Mao Xigong's knowledge is a knowledge of exploring the world, which involves a lot of things that cannot be learned by Chinese people. If you want to learn such a knowledge, you must not only know the learning of Huang Lao, but also be proficient in other schools. I have recruited many disciples over the years, but none of them can be taught..."
Empress Lu laughed and asked Liu An to come forward.
"This is the current prince. He has been fond of studying and reading since he was a child. He has read all the books in the Tianlu Pavilion... Now he is searching everywhere for the lost ancient books to read. He knows the knowledge of many schools of thought. The prince and the others said: This is the new saint of Huang Lao."
"What do you think if he was asked to follow you to learn?"
Sima Jizhu was shocked again, and he looked at the prince in front of him.
Whether it is the Book of Changes, Zhuangzi, or Laozi, Huangdi, Yin Wenzi, and Guanzi, they are not easy to master. They are all the most difficult and obscure. Those adult scholars who have been reading for many years dare not say that they can learn it easily. Can this half-aged child in front of them really understand it?
Sima Jizhu didn't believe in the evaluation of Wang Sheng and others. After all, these people are now officials, and once they become officials, they will definitely say some insincere words.
He did not answer, and the smile on Empress Lu's face gradually disappeared.
"You don't want to?"
Empress Lu asked slowly, her face was already full of murderous intent, and her sharp eyes were captivating. Master Sima Ji smiled bitterly, "The Queen Mother, it's not that she doesn't want to, but that she's afraid she can't teach..."
"You're only responsible for teaching. If you don't understand, it's okay."
But Sima Jizhu knew in his heart that things were definitely not as simple as the Queen Mother said. How could the Queen Mother’s face be fine?
He stood up and received the order, and the empress dowager ordered Liu An to pay his respects to him.
Liu Chang just stood aside and watched the show. He was extremely sad when he looked at his son in front of him.
How could his son become like this?
Don’t drink, fight, hunt, don’t bully, and don’t even dare to call yourself a fool in person.
I spent all day studying, studying, playing music and practicing my writing skills.
Do you know what the ministers outside said?
They all say that my son is knowledgeable, well-behaved, sensible, and has the power of a saint.
I have no choice but to teach my son!! Sorry, my father!!
Looking at Liu An, who was almost smiling in front of him, Liu Chang couldn't help but start to reflect, was his way of teaching his children really wrong?
When Sima Jizhu followed Liu An to the crown prince's palace, his face was full of bitterness.
It’s better to stay in the prison of Tingwei.
Now, I'm going to teach a baby to learn the ancient books of Huang Lao.
If you can't teach me, maybe my own sect will be gone.
After seeing Liu Chang, Sima Jizhu was already a little desperate about the prince. The new saint who is still in the future, has your family produced a scholar besides the King of Chu who studied with Fu Qiubo?? The Supreme Emperor is half apart from being a student, but he is just studying hard and has no opinion on his own. Then it is not called studying, it is called memorization!
Liu An also looked at the old man in front of him curiously.
The eldest mother has a good view of people. The teacher she can come to arrange in person should have real talents and knowledge.
"Why are the teacher so depressed?"
"Ah... if there is a disaster of killing, how can you be happy?"
"Haha, I heard that the teacher is a wise gentleman. Are gentlemen also afraid of death?"
"A gentleman can die, but those who want to die are valuable, and those who have no value will die. Who is not afraid of death?"
"You are not bad! You are qualified to teach me!"
Liu An nodded in praise and used a set of ancestral counter-attacks.
Sima Jizhu was stunned for a moment, but still helplessly asked Liu An to take out his pen and ink.
"What can you do to deceive ghosts and gods?"
Liu An said without hesitation: "Looking into people's hearts, saving people's desires, following people's hobbies but not daring to rebel, and taking people from evil and seeking benefits..."
"Teacher, I have read Yin Wenzi. If you want to tell me the original text, I'm afraid it will be a few years later."
Sima Jizhu was a little surprised. It was not surprising that he could answer the original text, but he could tell where it came from with just one sentence, and saying the original text requires ability. At least, this person has a good memorization of the book.
"There is nothingness and its darkness. Where all things come from, they are harmful to life. They are called desires, they are not satisfied, and they must move. They are harmful to life. They are called from time to time..."
Sima Jizhu immediately increased the difficulty.
After Sima Jizhu strengthened the difficulty four or five times, he was shocked to find that the little guy sitting in front of him had already appeared on his face, because no matter how obscure and difficult the knowledge Sima Jizhu talked about, Liu An knew, and even was familiar with it. He repeatedly said that what he wanted was new things, new annotations, and his words were full of disappointment and displeasure with the teacher.
Sima Jizhu suddenly became angry and looked serious with a stern face.
"Since you want to learn, I will teach you the beginning and end of heaven and earth, the records of sun, moon and stars, the talisman of good and bad luck when you are benevolent and righteous...."
Then, Sima Jizhu began to talk about his thoughts, simply put, is an exploration of the world, sun and moon, and an exploration of the universe, from the aspects of human beings, time, space, etc. Sima Jizhu not only understands the ideas of Confucianism, Taoism, and Huang families. In these explorations, he is also proficient in the views of the five elements, geomancers, Jiancaijia, Congchen family, Li family, Tianren family, Taijia and other schools on the essence and operating laws of the world.
Liu An listened very seriously this time.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at the teacher in front of him thoughtfully.
When Sima Jizhu talked about these contents, he became very confident, with a loud voice and fluent voice, and he could not stop words at all. He told the story in a leisurely manner, mixed with the theoretical knowledge of various schools, constantly interpreting the way of the universe to Liu An. The common Huang Lao's way of the universe focuses on practicality.
There is no need to explore too much about the rules, as long as it can be used, simply put, there is no need to know why it rains when the clouds drop, as long as you can tell when it is suitable for farming.
The path Sima Jizhu took was also different in the Huang-Lao School. He leaned more towards exploration. He wanted to understand why it rained when the clouds fell. As for when it was suitable for farming, he would not care.
No wonder this primary school school that was separated was declining, far less than that of the Gai Gong lineage.
Their relationship with the mainstream Huang-Lao is as complicated as the factions within the Legalists.
But Liu An did not interrupt him.
Because Liu An was even more ambitious, he wanted to integrate all the factions of Huang Lao Nei and turn them into a unified school. This is the same as Han Feizi's theory of combining the three schools and becoming the master of the great master.
Sima Jizhu was tired of speaking, so he stopped, then looked at his disciple, and asked with a smile: "How much did you understand?"
Liu An hesitated for a moment, "Can I say it too?"
"certainly..."
Liu An nodded, then spoke, "I heard that the universe has a beginning, a time when there has not been "started", and a time when there has not been that "have" and "non-beginning". There is also "existence", there is also something that has not produced "existence" and "non-beginning", and there is something that has not produced "existence" and "non-beginning"...."
"Creation only produces human beings occasionally, just like all things in nature, people don't have to be complacent. The things created by heaven and earth have never ended in endless changes..."
When Liu An began his own remarks, Sima Jizhu was already stunned.
Liu An also had no cardinal script, and told him in a casual manner, expressing his views on the universe, the connection between the universe and humans, and talking about astronomy one by one.
Sima Jizhu Mingrui discovered that when this guy was telling these things, he actually quoted everything he said just now. This was not a long time ago, but he was thinking in front of him!!!
Liu An was tired of what he said, so he stopped and asked with a smile: "How much did you understand?"
Sima Jizhu looked up and laughed.
He stretched out his hand, held Liu An's hand tightly, and his eyes were full of heat when he looked at Liu An.
"I, Mr. Huang, are about to become a new saint! Mr. Huang, are about to become a new saint!!"
"At such an age and with such knowledge, your future achievements will definitely be no less than those of Zhuangzi and Mencius in the past!!"
Sima Jizhu's mentality has also changed from the disaster that just happened to the treasure I have picked up now.
This is a big baby, the baby from Huang’s hometown.
Sima Jizhu was particularly excited and couldn't speak. God bless me, my school no longer has to worry about losing his successor. What a great successor!!!
When Liu An sent him away, Sima Jizhu smiled and looked at his disciples with a doting look.
"You can communicate and discuss with other schools appropriately, but don't be too obsessed with this. Sophistry is not a superb knowledge after all. Of course, if someone is like this with you, send someone to find me!!"
"I understand, Master..."
"Hahaha, then I'll go back! Come again tomorrow! I still have a few books there, I know a few friends, and they also have a collection of books there. I will get as much as you want to read this book!"
Sima Jizhu happily left the palace.
However, Liu An was called by Cao Shu and had a meal together.
Cao Shu was very concerned about Liu An's affairs. He knew that he had visited another teacher and kept asking about his situation, asking whether the teacher was appropriate and whether he would have the risk of leading students like Zhang Cang. After learning that this was a real master and did not have any moral flaws, Cao Shu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then are you getting along well with your teacher?"
"It's okay... Anyway, he has learned a lot of knowledge today and has taken notes."
"Hmm?? He is your teacher, what does he remember?"
"It's just some immature thoughts..."
Liu An said proudly, then he didn't know what he remembered, and looked at Liu Chang and laughed secretly.
Liu Chang, who was eating meat, was very confused. Looking at Liu An's strange expression, he couldn't help asking: "You guy, you have been laughing at me since you entered the door. What are you laughing at?"
Liu An shook his head and secretly said a few words in Cao Shu's ear.
Cao Shu was stunned and then patted Liu An on the forehead, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Liu Chang became even more curious, "What did you mother and son say?"
"Why don't you tell me?"
Liu An said, "Tell my father, but my father must first agree to forgive my sins. No matter what I say, I am not allowed to beat me!"
Chang Liu patted his chest, "I am the king, and I have received one of my promises, as if I have received a million gold. Just say, I forgive you for not guilty."
Liu An grinned, "Father, your teacher is Mr. Gai, right?"
"yes."
"Gai Gong's teacher is Lechen Gong, Lechen Gong's teacher is Lexia Gong, and Sima Jizhu is Lexia Gong's disciple. I am his disciple. In other words, I am the same generation as Gai Gong... Father, you should call me..."
"Far! After studying for a long time, Mr. Huang wanted to be my elder?"
Liu Chang took off his shoes angrily.
Liu An shouted, "Father! You said you are a gentleman! You will not break your promise!!"
"I am a barbarian!!!"
...........
At this moment, good families from all over the world are gathering in Chang'an.
The lieutenant had a schoolyard outside the city, and these good families were gathered here. In the Han Dynasty, it was not a bad thing to become a standing army. Moreover, this time it was a pedestrian army, which was not an ordinary combat force. It was already a grassroots official. Compared with other armies, it was given higher treatment and promoted faster. Of course, it was precisely because of its special nature that recruitment could not be screened like usual.
This matter mainly falls into Wang Tianqi's hands. This eternal neutral prince is still very good at handling such things, and will not make any party feel dissatisfied. Among the people he recruits, there are members of various factions. Whether you are a noble, a royal relative or a relative, he can reach a balance. This makes Zhou Chang unable to help but sigh that this is the real talent of the prime minister!
The pedestrian army said it was an army, but it was actually an envoy, and it also had the nature of a spy. There are no words to summarize them now. If it were later, it could be simply called a special agent or a special agent. They did not need to form a formation to deal with the enemy, but they had to know more, personal martial arts, language, observation skills, drawings, and communication, and there were many aspects they needed to understand.
Feng Jing even invited several embroidered officials to be their instructors.
After they selected and gathered, they rushed to Shuofang County without stopping, where they would receive training from Wei Shang and also receive many teachings. Wei Shang was only the nominal chief instructor, responsible for training their bodies, and beyond their physical bodies, they had more to learn.
In the eyes of the ministers, this is an army specially used to attack the enemy, and it is no different from other armies.
Only Wang Tianqi, Feng Jing and others who were in charge of this matter knew that these people would soon play an irreplaceable role.
