Chapter 995: The Great Thief
Compared with the prosperity and luxury of Linzi, the majestic atmosphere of Luoyang, although it is also the provincial capital, Lu County, the capital of Xue County, is much narrower and embarrassed, and only barely ranks among the second tier.
Lu County also has an ancient name: Qufu, named because it was built on Qiufu, surrounded by Surabaya, the city is limited in scale, and with some Lu people's small family spirit. There is no prosperous trade, no geopolitical significance for heroes, and the only thing that can be used is "cultural heritage".
"Zhou rites are all in Lu", this is a recognized thing in the world for hundreds of years, Zong Zhou has already become a place where the Qin people and Rong Di blend, the first merit and abandon the etiquette, Confucius and Mencius are not into Qin. Cheng Zhou was flooded with merchants and craftsmen, and became extremely philistine, thinking about lending money and doing business all day long, but he was also despised by gentlemen and Confucians!
Only Qufu, as the country of the Duke of Zhou, as the state of Confucius, has become a city of Confucianism, and those in the city are supervised in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Zhou Dynasty into the courtyard of the alley, and there are a large number of Confucian scholars wearing high crowns and wearing Confucian robes every day:
They are the pedantic people who clamored to defend the Zhou rites in the Zen ceremony when Qin Shi Huang toured the east, and they were also the people who were hit the hardest after the book order was issued.
In the two years that Kanto was out of control, Confucian scholars and village sages regained control of Lu County, and some people even got the government's printing equipment, summoned paper-making and engraving craftsmen, and used this novel technology to print poems and books in large quantities - they were keenly aware that this thing was a powerful weapon to restore the blood and blood of Confucianism!
As the eighth grandson of Confucius, Kong Kun studied in Wei when he was young, and had friendships with Wei celebrities Zhang Er and Chen Yu. When the world was in turmoil, he ran to Wei as soon as possible, defected to Zhang Er, and even mixed into the position of "Wentongjun" of Wei, and after returning to Qufu, he was worshiped as a young master by Qi Wang Tian Guang, who was supported by Peng Yue.
It is now the middle of April, and the Confucian students in Qufu are concentrated in the Confucian family's house, but not for academics, but for the unpredictability of the world in recent days, and the news that Qi Xiang Peng Yue is about to send troops to help Wei and Chu resist the Qin soldiers......
"Kong Jun, I still have to advise Qi Xiang, don't get involved in this matter."
Most of the Zhao state was lost, the Chu state was defeated and retreated, Han Xin attacked the Dongjun Wei state, and Chu Wei repeatedly appealed to the theoretical ally Qi state. But most of the Confucian scholars in Ludi did not want to be involved in the war, and they even pinned their hopes on the disciple of Kong Kun Naxi Tou Heifu, Uncle Sun Tong, I heard that he is now mixing well, and the regent Xia Gong of Great Qin is also different from Qin Shi Huang, and is willing to accept Confucian students into the court......
But what people didn't expect was that Kong Kun had a resolute attitude and openly supported sending troops to help Wei and Chu.
And the basis for this judgment is actually his moral judgment of Heifu.
"Monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons! Although Hu Hai is tyrannical, he is also Qin Jun, and the black man is guilty of killing the monarch and disrupting the government, and this chaotic minister and thief are also. Now he is arrogating as a regent, claiming to emulate the Duke of Zhou, but in fact, he wants to do a common thing! Is it tolerable or intolerable? The world's benevolent and righteous people, everyone will be punished! ”
When Qin Shi Huang, Kong Kun was a hardcore non-collaborator, resisting Qin Shi Huang's order to recruit him to be a doctor, and his perception of Heifu was undoubtedly extremely bad, and the label of a rebel had long been labeled.
At this time, Lu Ru and Qufu fathers and elders who could be invited to see in the future were frightened, and began to state that now Qin is strong and the six countries are weak, although the Qi people are many and even suppressed Jiaodong, but they are not strong Qin opponents, I am afraid that they will repeat the fall of the past.
But Kong Kun has inexplicable confidence: "In the past, Qi Tian often killed his monarch in Shuzhou. My ancestor Confucius saw Lu Hou three times, and asked Qi to kill the three. Lu Hou said: 'Lu Wei Qi has been weak for a long time, and the son will cut it down, what will happen? Confucius said: "Chen Heng killed his king, and half of the people are not with him." The people of Eru, half of Gazi, and Kek. ’”
"Now although the black man abuses the world, but the people in Guanzhong are unconvinced, and they come from afar to attack, as long as they combine the will of the three kingdoms of Chu and Wei, and with the strength of General Xiang, they will be defeated!"
He stopped the people who wanted to persuade again: "Back then, Lu Dinggong didn't dare to make the decision, and said: 'The son sues Ji Sun. 'Confucius. He retreated and said: 'I don't dare to say anything after the doctor.' ’”
"I am the Wentong Jun of Wei, and I have the etiquette of a monarch and a minister with the King of Wei, and I dare not say anything, but I should take more than 100 disciples to rush to Puyang to defend the city for it! And as the young master of Qi State, I want to ask the king of Qi to make Qi troops aid Wei and Chu, and now Qi Zheng is in Xiangbang Peng Yue, I should sue Peng Yue! ”
So this meeting broke up unhappily, and the people of Lu Rushi left the huge old mansion of the Confucian family worriedly, and some people couldn't help complaining: "The current Qi country is also the king of the Tian family, isn't it Confucius who wanted Lu Hou to war?" ”
This Kong Kui has no flexibility from his apprentice uncle Sun Tong at all, and what is even more exaggerated is that Kong Kui's call really persuaded many Lu Ru to change their minds, firmly stand on the side of the army faction, and vow to fight to the end against Heifu, a chaotic minister and thief.
It's also a coincidence, here Kong Kui claimed to go to see Peng Yue, and before he could leave, Peng Yue led the army to Qufu from Jibei and summoned Kong Kui to meet him......
……
Although Kong Kun said righteously, he still had palpitations when he saw Peng Yue in front of him.
Kong Kun's impression of Peng Yue is not much better than that of Heifu.
He once commented: "The black man thief, Peng Yue, and the middle thief." ”
In Kong Kun's view, Heifu behaves as usual, while Peng Yue is a figure like a tiger and a thief!
The thief was a contemporary of Confucius, and it is said that he had 9,000 followers and roamed the world and invaded the princes. The cave chamber pivot household, driving people and horses, and taking women. Greedy and forgetful, ignoring parents and brothers, and not sacrificing ancestors. In the towns that passed, the big countries defended the cities, the small countries were insured, and the people suffered.
He is a thief who does all kinds of evil, and he is the opposite of Confucius, a moral model.
It just so happened that Peng Yue was also born in Changyi County, near Juyeze, and started by gathering crowds for thieves, taking advantage of the chaos in the world, relying on a sum of money from a dubious source, gathering thousands of people, attacking Xue County, and killing the local Qin officials, because of the largest number of troops, he was embraced as the leader by the Qilu heroes, and got the advice of Kuaiche, and Tian Guang, the son of Litian Rong, was the king of Qi.
Now, he has become a Yang Tiger who steals national politics, and his ambition is rampant, he does not respect scholars, does not like Confucianism, and is greedy for property and women.
But fortunately, Peng Yue only paid enough food and taxes in one place, and as for how to govern it, he didn't care at all.
And the last time Kong Kun met Peng Yue, it was like Confucius seeing a thief, on one side was a high crown, with a cow wedge, full of quotations from scriptures, talking about the implementation of etiquette and music in Qi country, so that he could rule in March......
On the other side, he sat rudely, stretched his feet, sneered at all the suggestions of Kong Carp, and even looked at the sword with a sword, his voice was like a tiger, intimidating Kong Carp:
"What is not polite, it is the sword of the public, it is a courtesy!"
When cultural people talk to bandits, most of them break up unhappily.
But this time, I don't know if it's because of the rare fit of political opinions, Peng Yue saw Kong Kun, but he didn't have the arrogance and rudeness of last time, but was very enthusiastic, and asked him to come up and sit side by side with a loud voice.
It was Kong Kui, who still held on to the etiquette of Confucianism, saying that it was not in accordance with the rules.
As he spoke, he also noticed that in addition to Peng Yue, there was only a white-faced and long-bearded middle-aged man in the room who had never seen him before, who looked handsome, probably Peng Yue's staff in Qidi?
Peng Yue, on the other hand, has a thick beard, although he is wearing a brocade robe, he does not wear a crown on his head, he only ties a curtain at will, which looks nondescript, and he is still a thief, especially full of meat jokes, laughing and scolding, which makes Confucian frown.
Although he was a little unhappy, Peng Yue still said:
"The envoy of Chu Wei told me that the State of Qi sat and watched Qin destroy the Six Kingdoms before it finally fell, and the king of Qi was finally starved to death between two trees, how could that song be sung?
"Sonye Boye? Housing and construction of the common people? ”
Although Qi Wangjian was mediocre, he strongly supported the Confucian family in the Qi State, which was also the reason why Kong Kun had always had a deep hatred for Qin.
"Yes!"
Peng Yue Strike Case:
"Therefore, I don't want to sit and wait for death, I want to wave my army south into Liangdi to help Chu resist the Qin army!"
This time it was Kong Kun's turn to be a little moved, and when he looked at Peng Yue again, he didn't feel that he was hateful, but a bit like a tyrannical man, but in the end he got lost and threw himself into the road of patriotism and light chivalry under Confucius.
"Chu has a good use of soldiers, the name is Zhuang Ji, Chu Huai Wang is mediocre, Zhuang Ji will rebel against the troops in the east, and the officials can't stop stealing in the territory, so that Chu is split into two."
"However, when Qin invaded Chu, Zhuang Ji rejoined the Chu army, made enemies of Qin, and even entered the west of Chu for the sake of the barren, and wanted to take advantage of the southwest Yi to attack Qin and Bashu, but unfortunately he could only stay in the local area and ...... for the king of Yunnan."
"Today's Xiangbang also has the righteousness of Zhuang Ji, if he can defeat Qin with Chu Wei, the ministers think that the king of Qi should tear the soil and seal the Xiangbang as the king!"
When the white-faced middle-aged scholar who had been waiting beside him heard this, he couldn't help but take a deep look at Kong Kun, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Kong Kun will understand that it is useless for a thief-born person like Peng Yue to speak to him, so he has to say a good word.
"Is it a king?"
Peng Yue looked at his middle-aged staff and saw that his face was as usual, so he touched his beard and said with a smile: "It's too early, but when my generals went to Liangdi, the country of Qi had no owner, and the king was young, I am afraid that the local father and old heroes will not be convinced, in my opinion, this Xiangbang ......"
He pointed to the Kong Kun in front of him and smiled:
"It's up to Kong Jun to be in charge!"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but say something, clapped his hands, and a group of people came up with Xiangbang's clothes and ribbons, and put them on Kong Kun, regardless of his objections:
"This, this is not in line with the etiquette ...... the prime minister"
"I can't do so much in a hurry."
Peng Yue didn't care at all: "Don't you always think that as long as you govern the country, you will be able to rule in March?" This great opportunity is just around the corner, and the king has agreed, when I go south, I will move the capital to Lu County, Kong Jun does not have to hesitate! As for the etiquette of worshipping the prime minister......"
"Later, you will make up for it yourself!"
……
After this farce ended, Kong Kui, who was already "Qi Xiang", was still confused, but he was taken out, saying that he was going to prepare to welcome the King of Qi to move to Lu County.
And Peng Yue, who stepped down from his post and re-proclaimed himself "general", seemed to be relieved, sat on the tiger skin couch, and said with a smile:
"What a pedantic Confucian student, after this situation, I really believe that I will go into the fire for the sake of the so-called 'faithfulness' and the fantasy of being a king, regardless of my own safety."
"If you are so obsessed, the Kong family deserves to be destroyed."
The white-faced middle-aged man had already sentenced Kong to death, and said: "And General Peng, it is really gratifying to have unloaded this mess called 'Qi State'!" ”
Peng Yue laughed: "Actually, I wanted to kick away that Tian Guang child for a long time, but today I got my wish." ”
But he immediately became solemn.
"Two months ago, I attacked Jiaodong with Long Ji, and the troops were in Weishui, and Cao Shen retreated, and Qi Chu withdrew his troops. As the winner, you entered Linzi alone, tell me that the general trend of the world has been decided, and the words of Chu Zhao Strategist cannot be believed, but how true are your words? ”
Peng Yue looked at the middle-aged "strategist" and narrowed a pair of Danfeng eyes:
"Daqin's Jiuqing, Jiao Dongshou, Xia Gong's right-hand man."
"Chen Ping!"
