"Sir, I heard that sages from all over the country rushed to Mafu Township one after another. Scholars from Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, Ming and other schools blocked the road. Xunzi, Zouzi, Gongsunzi and other sages crowded together and stood together.
In this house, such a grand occasion has never happened in Zhao State. If any of these people can stay in Zhao State, it will be very beneficial to Zhao State."
"Please send people to express your admiration for them in time, build houses for them, slaughter cattle and sheep to entertain them. In the past, Qi State established Jixia Academy, so Qi State never lacked talents to govern the country. Now Handan Academy
Because of Mr. Ma Fu, there are so many sages. If you neglect them, it would be inappropriate and detrimental to the State of Zhao."
Lieutenant Xu Li sat next to King Zhao and spoke seriously about his views. So many sages gathered in the State of Zhao. This has never happened before. The State of Zhao cannot compare with the State of Qi in terms of cultural heritage. Of course,
, no country can compare with Qi State. After all, Qi State has Jixia Academy where sages from all over the world have gathered. But now, the Handan Academy opened by Zhao Kuo is gradually prospering. Xu Li feels that this is a good opportunity.
.
King Zhao listened to Xu Li's suggestion, his face was full of smiles that he couldn't hide, and he couldn't sit still. King Zhao hadn't been so happy for a long time. Thinking about Xunzi, Zou Yan, Gongsun Long and others are now here
Zhao Guo, King Zhao laughed so much that he couldn't sleep at night, let alone those great scholars from various sects. If these people could be used by him, King Zhao became even more excited when he thought of this.
He nodded, smiled and said to Xu Li: "I want to rush to Mafu in person, what do you think?"
Xu Li frowned, looked at the excited King Zhao in front of him, and said: "They came to Zhao this time to discuss knowledge with Ma Fujun. If you are in a hurry to visit and want to keep them as officials, I'm worried about this."
This will cause many scholars who do not want to serve as officials to leave. It is better to send others to build houses for them, prepare cattle and sheep, and let them stay in Mafu for a while. When they make up their minds to stay in Zhao, you can recruit them.
They, or you can ask Ma Fujun to invite them, that's all fine."
King Zhao had no choice but to wipe his saliva, and then said: "Okay, I will do as you said." Next to King Zhao, there was another person sitting, that is Lord Chang'an. As the censor, Lord Chang'an,
He wanted to accompany the king at all times and record these important conversations, but Lord Chang'an was obviously absent-minded. He just raised his head blankly, not knowing what he was thinking in his mind.
Xu Li spoke very fiercely to King Zhao, but Lord Chang'an didn't listen at all. He was already lost in thought.
Xu Li said: "Please send Mr. Tian to Mafu. He is a famous person in Zhao country. Xunzi and others will treat him respectfully when they see him." Before Xu Li finished speaking, King Zhao
Then he interrupted him, and King Zhao shook his head and said: "Although Mr. Tian is famous, he is not good at words, and he will not take the initiative to make friends with these people. It will definitely be useless for me to send him there."
"Then please send Pang Gong. Many of these scholars are friends of Pang Gong. Pang Gong is old and deeply respected by everyone."
"No, Mr. Pang is already very old. I can't bear to let him run around anymore."
Xu Li was stunned, thought for a moment, and then asked: "Then who are you going to send?"
"Chang'an Jun", King Zhao suddenly shouted. Chang'an Jun, who was thinking about his precious horses, suddenly raised his head and looked at King Zhao in surprise. Not only him, but also Xu Li was also looking at King Zhao at this moment.
He didn't understand what King Zhao was thinking. King Zhao looked at Lord Chang'an and said seriously: "It's up to you to rush to the horse suit, bring the cattle and sheep, and use the gold and silk to entertain these guests from far away."
"No!!"
Lord Chang'an had not yet spoken, but Xu Li did. He hurriedly said to King Zhao: " Lord Chang'an is young and energetic, and it is really not suitable for him to rush to Mafu. If he offends those scholars," Lord Chang'an did not want to go in the first place.
What a horse suit, but after hearing Xu Li talk about himself like this, Chang'an Jun said as if he was angry: "I am the son of Zhao State, can they bully me just because I am young?!"
King Zhao looked at Xu Li helplessly, and then said with a smile: "Please go back first, I will take care of it carefully."
Xu Liben wanted to say something, but when he saw the angry face of Lord Chang'an, he stopped talking. He sighed, stood up, and said to King Zhao: "If Lord Chang'an is sent to Mafu, you will definitely suffer because of this."
I regret my decision." After saying that, he turned and left regardless of the furious Lord Chang'an. Lord Chang'an walked to King Zhao and said angrily: "How dare Xu Li treat him like this because he is related to Lord Ma Fu.
I!"
King Zhao's face was not very good-looking, but he did not reprimand Xu Li, "If you could restrain yourself a little more, he wouldn't have said that to you!" Upon hearing King Zhao's words, Chang'an Jun looked away angrily.
Go and look at him no more. King Zhao said seriously: "You are too young and no one in the country respects you. This is why I sent you to Mafu. After you arrive at Mafu, you must humbly ask those scholars for advice.
"
"Even if they beat you or scold you, you are not allowed to be rude. If you dare to offend one of them, even if you are just a disciple, I will never forgive you!"
"If you entertain those scholars and ask them for advice humbly, you will be able to consider yourself as their disciple in the future. If you get their approval, no one will disrespect you in the future. You are the son of Zhao State, so you should
You cannot refuse to share some things with me. Next, I will teach you how to treat those scholars." King Zhao spoke seriously.
Lord Chang'an was particularly depressed. His face was full of dissatisfaction. He lowered his head and listened to his elder brother's nagging. When he noticed Lord Chang'an's impatience, King Zhao became a little angry. He warned again: "You must control me."
Do what you said. If you are angry and take away my sage, even if one person is gone, I will punish you. Have you bought a lot of horses recently? Be careful, I will make you unable to ride a horse for the rest of your life!"
King Zhao's threats were still effective. When King Zhao said this, Lord Chang'an did not dare to say more. He nodded. King Zhao then continued to tell him how to act. King Zhao was very familiar with these sages.
From their lives to their hobbies, King Zhao even expected that many people would make things difficult for Lord Chang'an. He told Lord Chang'an that at this time, he sincerely admitted his past mistakes and expressed his willingness to learn from them.
people to correct their shortcomings.
King Zhao said: "If you tell the truth, it's best to cry."
After attending classes with King Zhao for four or five days, Chang'an Jun finally led people to Mafu Township. He brought more people and many gifts, and the motorcade rushed towards Mafu Township in a mighty manner.
Go, Lord Chang'an rode his favorite horse and walked at the front of the team. This was the first time Lord Chang'an carried out King Zhao's order. Looking at the motorcade behind him and the soldiers lined up neatly, Lord Chang'an was still very excited.
of.
It's a pity that he can't run wildly because he has to take care of the convoys behind him. This only makes him a little depressed.
The convoy was getting closer and closer to the horse uniforms. Lord Chang'an galloped back and forth around the convoy. The soldiers lowered their heads in fear. Previously, some soldiers were whipped by Lord Chang'an just because they glanced at Lord Chang'an out of curiosity.
After being beaten for more than a dozen times, perhaps because of the suffocation he received from King Zhao, Lord Chang'an became very irritable and whipped the soldiers. Even the people along the road were not spared from his harm.
When some people looked at the convoy, Lord Chang'an concluded that these were thieves and insisted on arresting them and handing them over to the local pavilion chief. He ignored the people's pleas and asked the soldiers to eliminate these thieves. The soldiers could not do such a thing.
They just took out their swords and scared these people away. However, the Chang'an Lord's retainers were not like this. Working as an aide to the tiger might be the most suitable word to describe them.
Probably because they have similar odors, most of the retainers around Lord Chang'an are not good people. They have committed crimes. In order to avoid being caught by Dong Chengzi, they became Lord Chang'an's retainers because Lord Chang'an can protect them. Dong Chengzi
He came to ask for people several times, but Lord Chang'an just felt that Dong Chengzi was making things difficult for him, so he deliberately protected these people. Dong Chengzi complained to King Zhao, but King Zhao only reprimanded Lord Chang'an a few times, without any substantial punishment.
This made Chang'an Jun's Mansion a paradise for thieves. All kinds of notorious villains gathered here, making the already stinking mansion even more disgusting. No one dared to approach. At this moment, they took advantage of
When he had the opportunity to accompany Lord Chang'an on his trip, he also followed around in a show of force, sometimes encouraging Lord Chang'an to have fun and bullying his soldiers. The more than 100 soldiers accompanying him were very dissatisfied with the more than 20 guests of Lord Chang'an.
In this way, Chang'an Jun arrived at Mafu Township in a chaotic atmosphere.
He rode his horse and looked into the distance gloomily, his eyes full of resentment. He was going to see those so-called sages later. He hated these people the most. These were fools. This was how he viewed it. But
Because of King Zhao's order, he had to put on a smile and not behave in any rude manner. He even had to accept their criticism and abuse. This troubled Chang'an Jun very much because he hated pretending.
He hated the hypocrisy of his brother Zhao Kuo.
"Master, do you want to rush over?"
"Ha", Lord Chang'an just snorted coldly, and then galloped away. Several retainers stopped talking. Lord Chang'an was moody, and they did not dare to say anything. Lord Chang'an galloped away, and the horse headed towards the horse.
He sped away in the direction of the suit, and the convoy hurriedly followed him. Some of the soldiers accompanying him shouted anxiously: "Chang'an Lord, please stop and wait for us!!"
Chang'an Jun ignored them and just ran wildly over the hillside, ready to rein in his horse.
At this moment, he saw a commoner in tattered clothes suddenly appeared in front of him. The commoner was walking slowly on the road with a cane and firewood on his back. He walked very slowly and carefully. Lord Chang'an was angry.
He shouted: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!! Get out of the way!!" He yelled, but the common man walking in front of him completely ignored his words and didn't even look at him.
In this way, Chang'an Jun, who had no time to rein in his horse, slammed his horse into him.
The diners exclaimed and rushed over in a hurry. After the frightened horse knocked down the commoner, it suddenly raised its front hooves. Lord Chang'an fell directly from the horse. Lord Chang'an fell to the ground in pain.
On the way, the diners hurriedly came forward to help, but Chang'an Lord gritted his teeth, jumped up, and like crazy, pulled out his dagger and stabbed directly into the buttocks of the horse in front of him. The horse was in pain and ran away wildly.
Chang'an Jun looked at the escaping horse and yelled: "Why are you so stunned? Catch my precious colt!!"
The disciples then rode forward to catch up. Lord Chang'an was furious and looked aside. The commoner who had been knocked down was lying in a pool of blood, struggling painfully. Seeing that he was still struggling to get up, Lord Chang'an
He said angrily: "Even a common man dares to ignore me?! Beat me!!"
The guest hesitated a little and said, "Your Majesty gave you orders."
"Brother told me not to be rude to scholars. Does this commoner look like a scholar?!" Lord Chang'an roared angrily.
The doorman no longer hesitated and rushed forward, punching and kicking the common man. As soon as the common man stood up, a burly doorman rushed up and punched him in the abdomen. The common man bent over in pain and cried: "Get out of here."
What happened? Please don't hit me. I can't see and I can't hear." The diners ignored his pleas and punched him in the face again. The common people fell down and shouted, "What happened? I
What did you do wrong?"
"Please, I beg you, I can't hear you. I haven't hurt anyone. I haven't done anything bad."
Several people gathered around him, punching and kicking him. The common people just held their heads, huddled together, and kept pleading. His pleading only resulted in beating the diners again and again, first with their fists and kicks, and then with the hilt of their swords.
, the pleading voices of the common people who were beaten became smaller and smaller.
The commotion here quickly attracted the people from a distance. Several people took one look at the situation here, and immediately yelled, picked up their farm tools, rushed towards the place, and started fighting with the diners.
More and more common people rushed towards here. Lord Chang'an's face turned red. Looking at all this, his eyes flashed with fear. He hurriedly asked his soldiers to step forward to stop the mob. However, he borrowed a horse from a guest.
Be ready to escape from here
Zhao Kuo, who walked out of the school after hearing the news, happened to see Du being carried in.
Du was seriously injured. When several people put him down, he was still crying and begging in a low voice: "Please," Zhao Kuo bent down and held his hand tightly. Du was very scared and trembling all over.
, perhaps feeling the warmth of that hand, Du gradually calmed down. Zhao Kuo saw the inhuman injuries all over his body. Du stared blankly ahead. The disabled man did not understand what happened and why.
Someone comes to beat me
"Ma Fujun? Ma Fujun? Is it you? You came to save me. I don't know why someone hit me. I didn't do anything. I'm so scared. I've never done a bad thing in my life. Why should I be sorry?" Du said one after another.
As he spoke, a hoarse roar gradually erupted from his throat. His eyes widened in confusion and he opened his mouth. His face was full of fear and confusion.
He didn't know why he was treated like this, he didn't know what he had done wrong, he didn't even know who he was attacked by. Zhao Kuo was trembling all over. He stared at Du's face, his teeth clashing violently.
Together, tears couldn't help but fall from his eyes. This kind, gentle man should not be treated like this. He raised his head, his eyes full of anger, and asked: "Who did this?
"
The convoy was waiting outside Mafu Township with a nervous heart.
Chang'an Jun was also among them. He knew that he had messed up his brother's order. If he went back this time, he would be punished because of the common people. Wouldn't he just make way for him? He saw a sudden rush in the distance.
A horse came out, and the horse galloped in his direction. It was a good horse. Chang'an Jun looked at the horse greedily, his eyes full of fire, "Whoosh~"
When the arrow was shot from the horseback, directly piercing the neck of the guest on the side, killing the guest, Chang'an Jun finally woke up.
He wiped the blood on his face blankly, and then let out a girl-like scream.
Zhao Kuo rode a horse, held a strong bow, and wore a short sword at his waist. He stared in the direction of Lord Chang'an and charged towards him.
