However, Zheng Pu replied, causing the study room to fall into a long silence.
For Qin Mi, he fell into a trance for a while.
Zheng Pu's unhesitating gesture just now reminded him of Zheng Du's decisive attitude when he chose to live in seclusion and not serve his late lord Liu Bei.
Does this son want to inherit his father's ambition?
The first thought that came to Qin Mi's mind was this.
But soon, he vetoed it on his own.
Since Zheng Du asked his eldest son Zheng Yan to prepare for the conquest of Xia Hou, the prefect of Guanghan. From this, we can know that Zheng Du did not have any hatred for the first lord Liu Bei. He insisted on living in seclusion in the mountains, but he was just abiding by his own integrity!
It can also be inferred that it is nonsense to say that Zheng Pu inherited his father's ambition.
Therefore, he was also puzzled as to why Zheng Pu refused to conquer the country?
It also makes no sense to say that Zheng Pu should not be conquered because it was a means to gain fame and support.
Prime Minister Zhuge Liang also took charge of Yizhou Mu. The conquest of the state Mufu was also a testimony that Zhuge Liang appreciated Zhuge Liang's talent and learning. Zheng Pu was not as good as the weak crown, but he was able to get this honor. How many people in Shu are still evil?
What's not to be satisfied with?
Moreover, encouraging learning and engaging in work is the main task of promoting culture and education. Although he does not participate in political affairs, he is more noble than noble!
As long as Zheng Pu perseveres and serves for more than ten years, he will be able to say that Yizhou is full of peaches and plums, and become a Confucian respected by the people of Shu! Even a well-known Confucian from all over the world!
By then, both personal reputation and reputation will reach a higher level.
Why not!?
Qin Mi was flooded with thoughts and weighed everything, but still couldn't figure it out.
Simply put aside the distracting thoughts in your mind, stroke your beard and take a leisurely look, taking a closer look at Zheng Pu's appearance and expression.
After looking at it, I suddenly realized that Zheng Pu looked nothing like his brother Zheng Yan.
Zheng Yan has sparse eyebrows and a serious appearance. He is known for his serious smile and his upright and awe-inspiring attitude. However, Zheng Pu has a face like a crown jade, eyes like paint, and a body that can be said to be seven feet high.
Maybe it's because they were born from different mothers...
Qin Mi made a boring conclusion for his discovery.
Immediately, his eyebrows were raised high again, and a gleam of light flashed in his cloudy eyes.
He remembered that apart from their appearance, there was another big difference between the two brothers: Zheng Yan studied under him, but Zheng Pu was taught by Zheng Du himself.
He, Qin Mi, was a well-known scholar in Shu.
Zheng Du's reputation in the world is not only for his unswerving integrity, but also for his "wonderful strategies" that also combined with military strategy!
Therefore, after he pondered for a moment, he asked aloud, "Zijin, why don't you want to be Yingpi?"
Zheng Pu lowered his head in a gesture of respect and said slowly, "Uncle Hui Shi, it's not that Pu is pretending to be famous and wants to show his integrity. It's because Pu knows that he doesn't have the perseverance to seek scriptures with a bright head."
Ha, sure enough!
Qin Mi thought to himself that even the action of stroking his beard was speeding up a bit unconsciously.
"Um........"
First there was a long nasal sound.
Qin Mi pondered for a moment before continuing to ask, "What books has Brother Heng taught you since your enlightenment? After Brother Heng passed away, what books have you read yourself? Think about it carefully, and then tell them all.
Come, don’t miss anything.”
"promise."
Zheng Pu responded with a respectful salute, cleared his throat, and began to speak eloquently, as if he was talking about his family's treasures.
"Since Pu's enlightenment at the age of six, he first studied the Classic of Filial Piety and the Analects of Confucius."
"After Pu was ten years old, he was urged by Xian Kao to read the Book of Songs, the Book of Rites and the Chunqiu Zuo Shi Zhuan."
"At the fourteenth hour of the year of Pu, Xian Kao was lying on the bed sick and warned Pu to read the "Zhao He Ce" and "Warring States Policy"."
"During the time when Pujielu was observing mourning, he found books in his home such as "Three Strategies", "Six Tao" and "Sun Tzu". I saw that there were annotations in the books. I didn't dare to live up to them, so I read them myself."
"After being discharged from the army, Pu was idle in the mulberry garden with nothing to do, so he asked his elder brother and his mother's uncle to find "Wu Zi", "Sima Fa", "Wei Liao Zi" and "Sun Bin's Art of War" to study. Unfortunately, he asked his relatives
The books I found were all incomplete, with many omissions. Moreover, Pu was frivolous in nature and often read without asking for a deep understanding, only knowing a little about the meaning. Ashamed! Ashamed!"
oh........
Rao had already realized this, but as Qin Mi listened, he couldn't help but trembled with his hands and broke several strands of his beard.
He couldn't help but glared at Zheng Pu angrily.
Shameless boy!
In front of an elder, you are not sincere and sincere!
I have read most of the military books and planning strategies that have been circulated in the world, so why should I be ashamed of myself?!
Although today Zheng Pu only talks about military affairs on paper, how many powerful families in Yizhou are planning to inherit the art of war?
"Oh, I know what Brother Heng is thinking!"
After a long while, Qin Mi sighed leisurely and waved his hand towards Zheng Pu, "I know what Zijin wants. It's night, go and have a rest."
He has indeed understood.
From the books used by Zheng Du to teach, we can know that he wanted to train Zheng Pu to become a planner.
This is also easy to understand.
For Zheng Du, the eldest son Zheng Yan had already embarked on the path of herdsman governance, which was enough to pass on the official family line; there was no need for the younger son to do it again. It was better to inherit his father's strengths and become a planner who was familiar with military strategy.
It's just that after Zheng Du passed away, Zheng Pu became more and more fond of the military's offensive method during his own exploration.
He is not willing to serve as a staff member for others, and is limited to making suggestions.
Perhaps this is the reason why Zheng Du offered advice to Liu Zhang, but was dismissed and sent back to his hometown!
Qin Mi also figured out that Zheng Pu should never give up his life.
Nowadays, all the temple decisions of the Shu Han Dynasty come from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
This is also the reason why Qin Mi, as the captain of the Changshui School, was in the Prime Minister's Mansion when he acted as governor. As for the Prefecture and Mufu Mansion, because it was concurrently headed by Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, many important functions and powers were merged into the Prime Minister's Mansion. If Zheng Puying
With the appointment of the Prefectural Mufu, there was no longer any opportunity to plan and conquer the war.
In particular, the state government still appointed Zheng Pu to encourage learning and engage in literature and education.
Alas, that’s all!
Everyone has their own ambitions, so don't force them.
Since I have a close relationship with Heng's brother, I should help you make arrangements. As for whether the matter can be reconciled or not, it depends on your luck.
After Zheng Pu left, Qin Mi, who sat alone for a long time, finally made a decision.
Immediately, he called the steward of the house and asked him to copy the annotated version of "The Thousand Character Classic" all night before going to rest.
The next day, the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After Qin Mi finished his official duties, he found Jiang Wan and asked directly, "Gong Yan, are you still free?"
Jiang Wan, who was burying his head in the office, looked around when he heard the words and saw that it was Qin Mi. He quickly stood up and bowed his hands in salute, smiling brightly and said, "Colonel Qin is here to look for me. I have some free time. I wonder what the captain's orders are?"
"
Well, Qin Mi was already sixty years old. Liu Yan had not yet entered Shu when he became famous, and he was of high seniority. Moreover, he had a clear reputation and had no intention of fighting for power and gain. He was also one of the few Yizhou scholars in the Shu Han regime today.
One of the leaders.
Therefore, scholars of any faction respected him.
"Talk ear."
Qin Mi nodded, stretched out his hand to signal Jiang Wan to go with him, and asked as he walked, "I heard that the Prime Minister asked you to recruit the Zheng family's sons to encourage learning and work in the state. Is this a matter?"
