In the Imperial Prefect's Mansion, Meng Wu was holding "Thirty-six Stratagems" and reading it with great interest.
Suddenly, he looked at Lu Yan who was in charge and asked: "Master Imperial Master, I understand the rest of the strategies. But this secret plan to plot Chencang... Is Chencang the Chencang County of our Qin State?"
puff--
Lu Yan almost choked himself to death. He secretly thought that Chen Cang was an allusion to Liu Bang and Han Xin. He didn't know where to play it at this time.
He coughed twice and explained: "Chencang is located at the west end of Qinchuan, which is 800 miles away. It is the choke point from Hanzhong to Guanzhong. When Hanzhong still belonged to the Chu State, the Qin State needed to defend Chencang with heavy troops.
It was thought from Hanzhong that one must walk on plank roads when walking among high mountains. This means that it is basically impossible to conquer Chencang."
Meng Wu was also a famous general, and he immediately understood, "I understand. Show him movement, make him quiet and assertive. If you want to conquer Chencang, you must take the plank road to attract the defenders openly, and secretly take detours from other mountain roads to make a surprise attack."
"
He put down the book in his hand and sighed: "It's a pity that my two sons have already taken office, otherwise they must listen to the teachings of the Imperial Master."
Lu Yan laughed, "When we were at Wu Sui's camp, if Meng Tianqianchang hadn't been so alert, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to talk freely with the general here."
Meng Wu shook his head, "I have heard what happened to Wu Sui. It was all the result of the Imperial Master and Mr. Gai Nie."
"The general has two sons. I wonder if there is another one?"
"The eldest son is Tian, and the second son is Yi. Meng Yi is now serving as Shangshu Cheng in the palace."
He is responsible for the issuance and delivery of documents in the palace, and has direct access to Ying Zheng's position.
It seems that after experiencing the Wu Sui incident, Ying Zheng was indeed interested in Mengshi.
Lu Yan had something in mind, and Meng Wu stood up and said goodbye: "I've been harassing you for a long time today, so Meng Wu will leave first. When the copying is completed, I will ask someone to send the book back. Sir, please stay."
"General, walk slowly."
After sending him out of the house, Lu Yan planned to visit Gong Shuqiu. This character must be brought to his side. He has made great contributions to Qin Shihei Technology.
But before he could take a step forward, a motorcade stopped in front of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.
"How dare you bother Lu Zi to greet him personally? I'm being rude."
An old man stepped off his horse. He was the head of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Ren.
"Dad, please slow down." Gongsun Qian flew off the horse and supported his father.
The two stood firm and saluted Lu Yan.
Gongsun Ren waved his sleeves and pointed at the motorcade, "I had an appointment with my husband at Taiyi Mountain before, and I have now brought all the classics at home here."
Lu Yan was a little sluggish.
The Gongsun family was also very prominent at one time. There were so many classics in the family, so bringing them all over here, this fleet is something special.
He looked back and saw ten large carriages with bamboo slips. Gongsun Zuo and Linglong got off the carriage, and Gongsun Yuan was directing people to stop the carriage and prepare to carry books.
Lu Yan was surprised and happy, "I heard that Xuefu had five cars, but you guys dragged me ten cars."
Gongsun Ren was a little proud, "Sir, you also know the allusion of my famous master Huizi, who learned to become rich in five vehicles."
"You are unworthy of your descendants! Zhuangzi said: 'He has given in many ways, his writings are wrong, his teachings are wrong, and his words are not correct.' He scolded the founder of Huizi as useless, and the descendants of later generations were still complacent about it, and famous people fell into this situation.
It’s really your own fault.”
Suddenly there was a voice that made everyone stop. Lu Yan looked around and saw a man who looked like a beggar but had sharp eyes limping over.
"So it's you." Lu Yan thought of the weird, down-and-out scholar he accidentally caught a glimpse of at Taiyi Mountain.
The man came forward and saluted, "Hui Liang Yi, the sixth generation disciple of the famous master, pays homage to Lu Zi."
"Keiko, it's you..."
"It's the ancestor."
Huizi, the founder of the Mingjia theory. The Mingjia family is considered a young family. It was founded one hundred and fifty years ago. It is countless generations behind the Nongjia family, which is said to have been passed down from the Shennong family.
There were two great figures, Huizi and Gongsun Longzi, and the others were of average reputation. Among them, Gongsun Long died less than twenty years ago.
Regarding the decline of famous people, Lu Yan actually expressed his understanding and sympathy.
The decline of the Gongsun family has been mentioned before, but it is useless to talk about the Huishi family here.
Keiko, he was good at making philosophical summaries of the nature and laws of the material world. Through extensive observation of the material world, he came up with laws. He affirmed that the world is material and consciousness is a response to the material world.
Does it smell like that?
Not only that, he also wanted to study the composition of all things in the heaven and earth, proposing that the world is composed of the smallest "small one" particles.
In the bright moon world of Qin Dynasty, Lu Yan even doubted whether this person could open the door to natural science if he studied deeply.
How can future generations pass on this kind of doctrine?
You really can’t learn this!
The teachings of Huizi and Gongsun Longzi were extremely demanding on the brain, even far exceeding those of Taoism.
It is not difficult to understand that the time when famous people rose to prominence was short and their foundation was insufficient, so they quickly declined and were reduced to talking heads.
However, it is too much for you, a descendant of Keiko, to become a beggar!
Lu Yan helped him up, "Mr. Hui, why is this happening?"
"Humph, today's famous people have long abandoned the knowledge of their ancestors, seeking fame with high talk, and using sophistry to make profits. I disdain it and have long since left the famous family. But that day when I heard Mr. Taiyishan explain "The White Horse", I felt
It’s extremely shocking.”
Hui Liang Yi knelt down on one knee towards Lu Yan, "If there is anyone in the world who can understand the knowledge of the founder of Huizi, it is only Mr. Liang Yi. Liang Yi is not talented. I would like to be a guest of Mr. Hui's family and hope that Mr. Hui will take him in."
Gongsun Ren was a little embarrassed. Liang Yi claimed to be the sixth generation disciple of a famous master, almost the same generation as him. This direct recognition of his master made him a little embarrassed... and this matter of seeking fame and fortune...
Lu Yan quickly pulled him up. When he arrived at the Warring States Period, he finally got his first customer, which made him a little excited.
He has sensed that this Liang Yi is worthy of traveling alone in the world. His martial arts is quite strong. Well, he should be able to arm-wrestle with the young Wei Zhuang.
"Everyone, please come into the house and have a chat."
Lu Yan invited several people into the house and said as they walked, "Master Gongsun, are you here from the Kingdom of Zhao?"
"That's right. After leaving Taiyi Mountain, I hurried home to sort out the classics and rushed to Xianyang without stopping. How dare I neglect your promise, sir?"
"Master Gongsun is determined."
At that time, Ju Shuang took Nan Yan, Wu Shuang, and E Huang out.
Lu Yan stopped and said, "Sister Ju Shuang, do you know where the reading notes of "The Theory of White Horse" and "The Theory of Name and Reality" that I wrote are?"
"I'll put all the notes from that year in the box in the study for you...forget it, I'll get them to you."
Ju Shuang turned around and found that he and his people were almost entering the inner palace. He smiled and shook his head, and said to Nanyan: "Bring Wushuang to the outside classics and bring them into the palace. Memorize the chapters and don't mess them up. There are some in the palace.
Put it from left to right.”
"Yes, sister." Nan Yan raised her eyebrows, watching Ju Shuang leave quickly, her fingers glowed a little, a little presumptuously, "Let's go, Wushuang. And, you."
Ehuang had no expression on his face, holding the bamboo slips and ink he needed to use for recording, and followed step by step.
