"who!"
"Song Dynasty, Zhuang family."
Doctor Shen Guo glanced over and his eyes fell on the young man next to Feng Yun.
"Song Kingdom, Zhuang family?"
He had never heard of any Zhuang family members in the Song Dynasty, so he immediately dismissed them.
"In the name of Fengzi, can you make me, Shen Kingdom, retreat at will?"
"Wouldn't this make the world laugh at me, Zeng Guo, for being such a bully?"
He waved his hand, wanting the guards to come forward and capture him.
"when!"
The young man did not hide, and the people watching around him frowned, but Shen Guo was so powerful that they did not dare to stop him.
But when the guard came to capture him, he was suddenly blocked by a flying spear.
"Sir, please step aside. This is a matter for me to support the country. I will not cause any harm to you, sir."
The strong young man who raised the country's horses had an angry look on his face.
But Dr. Yangguo was panicked and wanted to plead guilty to Dr. Shenguo.
"Excuse me, Sir Shen Guo. You Ji is the one who raised the family. This time I also saw the prosperity of Zeng State and forgot about it. I still hope for Haihan."
Doctor Shen Guo glanced at Yang Youji, then looked at the young man, and said coldly: "Come here, capture this kid!"
Hearing the sound, Doctor Yangguo quickly hugged Yang Youji to avoid disaster.
The young man calmly turned around and saluted Feng Yun.
"Fengzi is in front, Zhuang Zhou is polite."
Fengzi!
There were sounds of surprise from the surrounding crowd.
When Zhaoyang saw this, he drew his sword and resisted the surrounding Shen soldiers to protect Feng Yun's reputation.
When he looked at the young man again, his face was respectful and he was explaining his trip to Feng Yun.
"An idler from the Song Dynasty, whose name is Zhou and whose courtesy name is Zimu, came to Zeng from the Song Dynasty. He had heard about Zeng's rituals and music, so he came to listen to the rituals. But the day before yesterday, after hearing Fengzi and Laozi's discussion of Taoism, he knew that Taoism has a sage. I want to learn Taoism from Fengzi."
Zhuang Zhou?
Feng Yun was surprised.
"Why don't you go and find me? My virtues are far less profound than those of Lao Tzu. They are not enough."
Zhuang Zhou smiled shyly.
"It was only at this time that Zhou realized that I had left. When I met Fengzi, I thought it would be Zhou's fate."
Feng Yun was stunned by Zhuang Zhou's unabashed words.
However, the people who heard the sound felt that Zhuang Zhou was arrogant. How could he be so casual? This is the holy way and should be treated with great ceremony.
At this time, many people were ready to move forward and salute Feng Yun.
But Dr. Shen Guo was embarrassed and stood hesitantly beside the carriage.
Just listen——
"When Fengzi comes to Zeng, I am the Grand Tutor of the Zeng Kingdom. I have come here specially to welcome Fengzi to the Yahui."
A solemn old man, escorted by a group of armored soldiers, came quickly.
People around him gave way.
Zeng Guo, a marquis, and Taifu, a minister of a country, are much more noble than ordinary princes.
At this time, Tutor Zeng Guo arrived, which solved Shen Guo's embarrassment.
"Doctor Shen Guo, let's meet Li Fengzi together so that we can join the meeting."
When Dr. Shen Guo heard this, he thought about Feng Yun's name at this time, but he had to bow his head and salute.
"Be at peace, Fengzi." After saying that, he snorted a few times, his eyes were filled with disgust, and he signaled to the groom to ride the horse and leave.
"Please Fengzi, please join the meeting." Master Zeng Guo watched Doctor Shen Guo leave and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
The State of Shen has gained momentum in the past few years. At this time, Zeng Guo went out to deal with this matter, which gave Zeng Guo an opportunity to intimidate other countries. However, with Feng Yun coming forward, it would be much easier. No matter what happened to this State of Shen, he would not fight in public. Conflict with a man who has found the holy way and is called the Son.
Feng Yun nodded and wanted to get back in the car and enter Zenghou Palace.
"Fengzi, you haven't answered my question yet." Zhuang Zhou came to chase him.
The sword of Zhaoyang wants to stop him.
Feng Yun waved his hand and let Zhuang Zhou stand beside him.
Wait until the car.
Feng Yun said: "When Zeng Guo's Lile Club is over, I will introduce you to me."
Zhuang Zhou was slightly surprised, but he smiled and said: "Great Virtue Fengzi, this time Zhou can listen to the words of the two saints."
Feng Yun couldn't help but refute Zhuang Zhou's statement: "How can Yun be compared to a saint? His path is far away, but he is just a seeker like everyone else."
Feng Yun got into the carriage and took Zhuang Zhou and Yu into the carriage.
Zhaoyang, who was guarding at the side, frowned and looked at him coldly.
Zhuang Zhou smiled shyly, but still squeezed into the car.
"Zhou was just a down-and-out son of the Song Dynasty. When he came to the Zeng Kingdom, he was troubled and troubled. At this time, there is no need to send letters from guests to guests."
"Since Fengzi wants to introduce Zhou, why not take Zhou with him, lest when Fengzi leaves the meeting, Zhou will be starving to death on the street and Zhou will not be found."
"During this period, Fengzi can treat Zhou as a disciple."
As he said that, Zhuang Zhou looked at Feng Yun openly.
"Let's go."
Feng Yun said to Zhaoyang outside: "Just take one more person with you and follow me."
Zhaoyang nodded beside the carriage, but he was very wary of Zhuang Zhou. He came to the carriage himself and rode the horse forward.
When the carriage passed the gate of Marquis Zeng's palace, Zhuang Zhou scratched his head shyly.
"Fengzi really took me in?"
In fact, this time, Zhuang Zhou was just testing Feng Yun, trying to see what the heart of Feng Yun, who could be called a "zi", was like.
Different road non-phase plan.
Although they share the same path, their minds from the north to the south are not from the same path.
Zhuang Zhou, who seemed free and easy and acted recklessly, was also thoughtful.
"You are very different from this era. I am very curious about what your etiquette is." Feng Yun looked at the young-looking Zhuang, who was almost the same age as himself, behaved freely, and had a handsome but slightly unruly appearance. week.
The learning of Lao and Zhuang.
It can be seen that his Taoism should be learned in Taoism. Feng Yun only listened to Lao Tzu's morality and Tao, and naturally he understood how consistent morality and Taoism were with his own profound Tao.
"Etiquette?" Zhuang Zhou heard this and thought it was Feng Yun who wanted to test him.
He thought and was about to answer, but Feng Yun stopped.
"Let's wait until we finish listening to Zeng Guo's rituals and music before answering."
Zhuang Zhou heard the sound and smiled happily. His eyes were like the rising sun, but they were very different from the image of Zhuang Zi who was carefree and forgetful about the world in Feng Yun's heart.
"What are you looking for?" Feng Yun couldn't help but ask.
Zhuang Zhou said without hesitation: "Of course we are human beings. There are many sufferings for human beings. One person's suffering is like cocklebur. His clothes are sticky when his relatives touch each other. Even if he falls to the ground, he will be everywhere in the mountains and plains, and his suffering will not stop."
Feng Yun nodded when he heard the sound and stopped asking.
"Fengzi, the Yahui has arrived."
The elegant gathering was held in the huge Ritual and Music Palace, which was specially built at the request of the King of Zhou. It could accommodate hundreds of people, and together with the guards, servants, singers and musicians, it could number no less than a thousand people.
After getting off the bus, I looked at it from a distance and saw the elegantly carved beams and painted buildings. It was really shocking.
Feng Yun looked at it and thought a little.
"It turns out that these paint patterns are very similar between Chu and Zeng."
After Feng Yun came to Chu State, he marveled at the color of the red paint at the first sight. At this time, Zeng State also had red paint with black patterns, and the patterns were also similar.
Hearing the sound, Qu Yuan came to Feng Yun's side and looked at Zeng Guo's palace in the distance.
"The State of Chu was originally just a small country. It was on the border of the State of Zeng, so most of them were headed by the State of Zeng. Most of the Rites of Zhou learned by its dignitaries came from the State of Zeng, so Chu learned from Zeng."
Speaking of this, Qu Yuan was not unusual.
And Shen Yinhua, who brought Mi Shu and Mi Yue close to Feng Yun, also said: "This time it has to be Feng Jun...it's Feng Zi."
He sighed: "Fengzi represents the countries south of the Yangtze River, and it can also represent Chu. Our Chu country finally has an honored guest, honored guest..."
"Now all other countries can look up to our Chu country."
"Your Majesty should have directly asked Fengzi to come on behalf of our Chu country..."
Shen Yinhua murmured, and Qu Yuan looked ashamed.
"Don't blame Fengzi. Mr. Yin Hua has been to the state of Zeng many times. We, the state of Chu, have always been the guest of honour. We are not allowed to be guests. We are laughed at by many countries. Now that Fengzi is the leader, we are happy. At this time, there are words of escape. , Don’t blame the wind.”
Feng Yun shook his head and said he didn't mind.
I have a deeper understanding of the current situation of Chu State in my heart.
When he was in Baiyue, Feng Yun followed the yin and yang strategy to eliminate unnecessary belief in gods and integrate the divided tribes.
He also used the Five Elements Policy to standardize important matters such as farming and hunting.
Among them is the article "Shui Ce: The Way of Witch Doctors".
What is this?
It is to give Baiyue a culture that can be passed on, to make the people confident and committed to inheriting.
But at this time, looking at the Chu State, its culture originated from Zeng, but it was more than imitated, lacking independence and lacking its own things.
This is a very dangerous situation.
The scholar lives, the imitator dies.
Wait until the two of them enter the palace.
"Fengzi, please bring the Chu guests to the table and sit down."
When you go to a banquet, how many guests are there?
Feng Yun was Fengzi, and his discussion of Taoism had been widely spread in the past few days. He was a person with great reputation on the battlefield. Although Zeng Guo had placed Feng Yun in the right seat at this time, and there were several guest seats after him. , prepared for the people of Chu State.
After taking the seat, Shen Yinhua was even more excited.
Qu Yuan, Mi Yue, and Mi Shu also looked at each other with surprise, and their behaviors became more regular.
Feng Yun looked at the people around him and showed no restraint. After sitting down, he called Qu Yuan and asked in a low voice: "I read the "History of Chu". Most of them praise the customs of "Zhou Rites" and continue the rituals. Le Zhisheng’s remarks.”
"And the people of Chu feel noble by imitating such behavior. Doesn't Chu have its own customs?"
Zhuang Zhou, who was following beside him, heard the sound and quietly came to Feng Yun's table. He and Qu Yuan were on the left and right, as if they were listening.
Qu Yuan thought about Feng Yun's question.
"Haha, all guests and polite people are well."
At this time, in the middle of the hall, an old man, dressed in rich clothes, walked slowly forward with the support of a delicate maid, and knelt down at the first place in the middle of the hall.
Looking down from above, he looked at the scholar-bureaucrats from various countries lined up on both sides.
"The banquet is about to start, please retreat temporarily." Feng Yun waved his hand, and Zhuang Zhou and Qu Yuan both stepped back and took their seats.
As the leader on the right, Feng Yun also knew that he wanted to be the leader Zeng Hou.
But just listen.
"Good morning, Fengzi. It is my honor to have Fengzi here this time. It is my honor to send my regards to Fengzi." Regardless of his old age, Marquis Zeng stood up and bowed to Feng Yun first.
Feng Yun saw him, not only because he was the Marquis of Zeng, but also because he was an elder because of his age, so he stood up and returned the greeting.
"The Marquis of Zeng treated all kings with courtesy, and the state of Zeng treated all the nine states with courtesy. The country is a state of courtesy, and the sound of the king's courtesy is also the same."
Marquis Zeng treated Feng Yun politely, and Feng Yun also praised Marquis Zeng in return. Marquis Zeng was overjoyed when he heard this, stroking his beard and smiling.
"Fengzi, please take a seat. I still need to pay tribute to you."
As if to confirm Feng Yun's words, Zeng Hou saluted many kneeling scholar-officials.
"It is also a great honor for Zeng State to invite all of you polite people to join us. Please accept my courtesy and express your joy."
This time, everyone was frightened, and everyone hurriedly returned the favor.
Not everyone can accept this courtesy from Marquis Zeng.
But with the behavior of Marquis Zeng, regardless of his age, and the act of serving the country with courtesy, the voice of Zeng State as a place of ritual and music is probably getting louder.
At the same time, Marquis Zeng’s etiquette also had a deeper meaning...
"Buzz!"
A tribute on behalf of the country!
A wave of fluctuation flashed across Zeng Hou's body. His luck was profound and his momentum was getting higher and higher.
The sudden breakthrough made Zeng Hou stunned for a moment, then he smiled again.
When looking at Feng Yun, he nodded in courtesy.
"Fengzi, on behalf of the countries south of the Yangtze River, has come with gifts, and I, Zengguo, should also give gifts."
"I recently got a good harp and a good music score. The harp is a rare treasure left by a man who was born with music. Please give it to Fengzi."
Zeng Hou waved his hand and asked the chamberlain to get it.
"As for the good score, it's also the piano player's lifelong voice..."
After sweeping through the hundreds of seats in the palace, Marquis Zeng waved his hand.
"A good music score should be considered as the first gift of the guest's ceremony at this time... Let's get some musical instruments and music scores as a gift to congratulate you all."
Marquis Zeng was so generous that all the scholar-bureaucrats present at the table were surprised.
Zeng Guo's musical instruments and music scores are the most outstanding among the Zhou states, and contain unique Taoist charm.
It also has a faint mention of the Tao of Joy, which was one of the prominent schools in the Zeng State and is extremely consistent with the etiquette of "Zhou Rites".
In this way, not long after, exquisite musical instruments were carried into the temple.
And his guqin also fell into Feng Yun's hands.
Lyre…
"This qin was made by a man named Shi Kuang. It was made of thousand-year-old paulownia wood and fine silk for the strings. A few people got it but haven't used it yet. It lives high in the pavilion."
The qin player is dedicated and only uses one qin at one stage. This is why Zeng Hou does not use this qin. Feng Yun studied music theory and is also aware of this matter.
"Dong..." He provoked gently, and his voice was clear and crisp.
In the main hall, the scholar-bureaucrats who were still amazed by the exquisiteness of the musical instruments of all ethnic groups heard the sound and stared in silence.
"Why don't Fengziruo play a song?"
When Dr. Shen Guo spoke, he lowered his eyes and seemed to be respectful, but Feng Yun felt that he was not sincere.
The other scholar-bureaucrats all praised it.
Behind Feng Yun, Shen Yinhua's eyes were slightly nervous.
Only this time did he remember the reason why Feng Yun came to Zeng State.
After so many years in the Chu Kingdom, he was eventually driven to the Palace of Classics to guard the classics, but he had also experienced many years and was a high-ranking official. How could he not clearly see the intentions of those powerful people.
Feng Yunlaizeng did not represent Chu State, but the countries south of the Yangtze River.
Just to wait for Feng Yun to cause embarrassment in Zeng State and ruin his reputation without affecting Chu State.
Shen Yinhua looked at Feng Yun and thought about Feng Yun's previous playing system. Although it was not a superb piano skill at this time, it was still reasonable.
but……
His eyes dimmed slightly.
Chu State...
Can we really not tolerate outsiders who can serve in Chu State?
us?
Shen Yinhua smiled wryly.
What are we?
Those who are not named Mi from Chu are all outsiders.
In the eyes of these nobles with the surname Mi, those dignitaries other than the Mi surname are those who compete with them for power. Shen Yinhua himself feels deeply about this matter.
"It's okay for the nobles with foreign surnames, but those common people have no hope in life."
Shen Yinhua sighed secretly.
Feng Yun has already tested the sound of the piano and provoked its sound.
"Then play a piece of music to enhance the enjoyment of the gathering."
Feng Yun's eyes flickered slightly.
His skills and music theory have become proficient in the art of cultivating the Tao. He is not inferior to Shen Yinhua or many people here, but emotionally, he can only go deep.
At this time, he was ready to use Xuan Dao as his emotion and express his emotions with the sound of strings.
"Fengzi, please." Marquis Zeng smiled kindly.
"Fengzi is a man of great virtue and a wise man in governing the country. The sound of his harp should be rarely heard..."
Saying this was also a foreshadowing statement made by Marquis Zeng when he saw that Feng Yun was young and only eighteen years old.
The saying "rarely heard" also means that Feng Yun's energy is more important than virtue. If he has very little time to practice rituals and music, this is understandable and should not be used to explain things.
Feng Yun looked back at Zeng Hou and nodded.
And many scholar-bureaucrats did not dare to refute this.
