Looking in the direction Zhang Tu was looking, he saw a light flickering on and off in the darkness, and Liu Deng couldn't help but frown.
"Master Taifu, who are we welcoming here?"
Liu Deng asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, the name of this first old man is Fu Sheng, and he is already a hundred years old this year! Even His Majesty needs to perform the disciple ceremony even now!"
Liu Deng was stunned by Zhang Tu's words. He had never heard of this before. There were very few historical materials from the Han Dynasty in later generations, and even fewer from the early Western Han Dynasty.
Liu Deng was not a history major, so it was remarkable that he could remember the time points of major events.
But if nothing else, just saying that he is a hundred years old is already awe-inspiring.
Especially in this day and age, when most of the country's population is under thirty years old, such old people are extremely rare.
"Back then, the First Emperor ordered the burning of books and the entrapment of Confucian scholars. If he had not sacrificed his life to protect the twenty-nine volumes of Shangshu, I am afraid that Shangshu would have become extinct!"
As Zhang Tu spoke, the officials behind him were all in awe.
"Is this old man coming to Jinyang so late?"
Liu Deng didn't know why, but he suddenly felt that this matter seemed to have something to do with him. Could it be that he accidentally provoked this old man?
its not right!
What you have done recently is not so outrageous, right? If that were the case, I'm afraid the emperor would have to break his own legs!
"This old man called his name and specially sent a greeting card. He is here to visit the king!"
While Zhang Tu was speaking, he took out a roll of bamboo slips from his sleeve and handed it directly to Liu Deng.
"Visit me? Are you kidding me?"
The corners of Liu Deng's mouth twitched. In this closed social environment, a centenarian was already highly respected.
Coupled with his deeds, his status among scholars in the world is almost as high as that of his ancestors!
wrong!
"Did you just say first place?"
Only then did Liu Deng discover the crux of the problem. Is there a second person?
"That's right, the world doesn't dare to call this second old man by his first name. He is only called Master Han. His attainments in "Poetry" can always be compared with Master Yuan in the world!"
Zhang Tu's face was filled with gloating. After finishing speaking, he took out two bamboo slips from his sleeves again.
Then he placed it directly in Liu Deng's hand. Liu Deng suddenly felt like running away. Why did he feel like he had caused some huge trouble?
"Sir, Master Taifu, who is this, Uncle Gao?"
Looking at the expression on Zhang Tu's face, Liu Deng suddenly had a bad feeling. Could this be an old man too?
"Master Wu, come and tell me who this master is!"
Seeing the lights getting closer, Zhang Tu rolled his eyes at Liu Deng, and then said to Wu Guoxiang.
"promise!"
"Return to your Majesty, the "Rites" passed through the fire of Qin and disappeared from the world. After Emperor Gaozu pacified the world, Master Gao taught seventeen chapters of "Shi Rites" in Lu. So far, Rites have been spread to the world, and he is the teacher of the world!"
Wu Guoxiang looked solemn and unusually serious.
"Cough-cough-"
Liu Deng almost choked to death on his own saliva. Are you kidding me? Are these three old men crazy?
According to what they said, these people are estimated to be at least ninety years old. If they had some good intentions and died in Jinyang City, wouldn't they become the legendary scapegoats?
"Master Taifu, I suddenly remembered that it is really inappropriate for the army to be outside. I will go to Fushi and bring them back!"
Liu Deng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and was immediately ready to run away!
What a joke, these three old men have become ancestors, and it seems that they have formed a group to cause trouble. If I don't run away quickly, will I still be alive?
"Your Majesty, if you run away now, your Majesty will have your legs broken! Your Majesty should be here soon!"
Zhang Tu rolled his eyes at Liu Deng, and then said gloatingly.
Only then did Liu Deng realize that this was a trap!
Moreover, this pit is really bottomless. Are you kidding me? If these three old men have any shortcomings, they will be pointed at their noses and scolded for the rest of their lives, even if they don't lose their lives.
"Master Taifu, you have to save me! I am the king of Dai!"
Seeing the lantern getting closer and closer, Liu Deng looked at Zhang Tu imploringly.
"Your Majesty, these three old men are here to visit you. You'd better think carefully about what you should do about this matter!"
While they were talking, the lantern was already very close to them. Only then did Liu Deng see an ox cart coming.
This ox cart and Liu Deng's luxurious carriage are nowhere near as small as this thing. It's hard to imagine that three centenarians can fit inside.
Liu Deng started to have a toothache. You must know that these three old men usually live in three places, and the three of them are not generally far apart.
How could the three of them come in the same car?
"Where are the three gentlemen?"
Zhang Tu hurriedly approached, lowered his voice, and asked the old servant driving the cart.
"The three gentlemen are all asleep. This journey is really too far..."
Looking at the wrinkles on the wife's face, Liu Deng found it hard to believe that this old guy actually came to Dai State with three older men on a bullock cart.
"Who said we were asleep? You cubs outside, hurry up and get some food, we are still hungry!"
Before the old servant finished speaking, an old voice suddenly came from the carriage of the bullock cart.
"That's right, that's right. The three of us have heard for a long time that His Highness is now extremely wealthy, and he hasn't even eaten lunch! He just kept his stomach open and wanted to come here and have a good meal! "
"You are already this old, and you still care about eating and eating! As for the younger generation, let's not worry about food for now. Where is your Highness, the acting king?"
People say that three women make a play, and Liu Deng suddenly realized that the play between these three old men seemed pretty good.
"Junior Liu Deng, I have met three old gentlemen!"
Zhang Tu kicked Liu Deng's butt angrily. Liu Deng stumbled and almost fell to his knees. He quickly stepped forward and saluted with fists in his hands.
"Get off, get off!"
One of the old men suddenly patted the car door anxiously, and the old servant hurriedly stepped forward and opened the door.
With the dim light on the carriage shaft, Liu Deng finally saw the scene in the carriage clearly. Inside the narrow ox cart, three old men sat opposite each other. Although the faces of the three people were different, they all had the same white hair. Mai...
"Liu Deng, a junior student, has met three ancestors!"
The moment Liu Deng saw the three old men, he suddenly felt blessed and hurriedly stepped forward again, cupping his fists and saluting.
