Chapter 383: Cultural Man (3)
Outside the gate of the Kong Mansion, the two hundred soldiers brought by Meng Tian, holding long halberds, surrounded the Kong Mansion with five steps and one whistle.
The uninformed local residents around him were so nervous when they saw this scene. In this era when knowledge was difficult to spread, cultural people were highly respected. Since Confucius, the Confucius family has devoted themselves to studying knowledge and devoted themselves to education, and has a high prestige in the local area.
Prestige is due to prestige, and the majestic aura of the Qin army shocked the hearts of the people around him, and no one has yet to stand up to accuse Meng Tian.
Zhang Cang took out a square scarf, wiped the sweat from his face, walked to the door of Kong Mansion again, and pressed the copper ring on the door vigorously.
The Kong family is really worthy of face!
Zhang Cang complained in his heart, and Meng Tian came in person with the rising sun. If the Kong family did not give face, they would have been unable to enter the officialdom for several lifetimes.
With a "creak", a gap was cracked open to the door, and Shusun Tong poked his head out again.
"Master Confucius..."
Shusun Tong wanted to follow Kong Feng's instructions and reject the Qin people again, but when he looked up at the posture outside, he met Meng Tian's gaze, his heart jumped and changed his mind temporarily: "Master Kong is not feeling well, but he is a guest from afar, please come inside."
After saying that, Uncle Sun Tong quickly opened the door, opened the door, and shouted loudly: "General Meng of Qin is here!"
Shusun Tong's voice was loud and spread from afar, echoing over Kong's mansion.
"I heard that Master Kong was in good health, so I brought the doctor to visit him and asked him to lead the way."
Meng Tian let out his body, revealing the doctor behind him.
The doctor was leaning on a crutch, carrying a medicine bag, and was thin. When Shusun Tong looked at it, he knew that this was a disciple of the doctor, and his face was slightly bitter.
Can the doctor cure Kong Feng’s disease be cured?
After entering the Kong Mansion, passing through the front yard, crossing the small bridge, the group came to the outside of the room where the Kong Mansion rested.
Shusun Tong gently buckled the door and pushed it open. He saw Kong Feng lying on the couch, covering the quilt with his back facing everyone, as if he was asleep.
"Shh--"
Uncle Sun Tong breathed a sigh of relief. He just now reminded him loudly, for fear that Kong Qi was stubborn. Now, seeing Kong Qi decisively pretending to be sick, at least giving face to the Qin people. I think the Qin people would not make a big move.
"Zhang Sou, look, what disease did Master Kong suffer?"
After Meng Tian entered the door, he listened quietly for a while and saw that Kong Feng was breathing smoothly and long, unlike he was sick. He really didn't expect that those who read the books of sages would pretend to be sick without any ambiguity.
The old man who was Zhang Sou had a flash of light in his eyes, he nodded slightly at Meng Tian, knelt in front of Kong Feng's couch, and went to put the medicine bag.
Zhang Sou stayed in Qufu Ling Mansion, welcomed and saw him off, observing his words and expressions, and did not understand Meng Tian’s meaning.
"Then let me take my pulse for Master Confucius."
Zhang Sou stretched out his right hand, raised it in front of him, and looked at Shusun Tong.
Shusun Tong complained in his heart. Seeing Meng Tian staring at him tightly, he had to come forward and gently lifted Kong Feng's right hand and put it in Zhang Sou's hand.
Zhang Sou took Kong Feng's pulse, closed his eyes slightly, and was not impatient or impatient, and carefully investigated it.
Shusun Tong stayed aside, restless. He knew in his heart that Kong Feng was not sick at all, and he was pretending. If Zhang Suo told him truthfully, the Qin people would be angry and embarrassed, and they would not know what the consequences would be.
The people in Xuedi started to make trouble, and they were killed and set fire. Shusun Tong, as a native of Xuedi, opposed himself to others, fearing that the Qin people would do the same.
"I just took Master Kong's pulse and felt that Master Kong was not seriously ill, but-"
After Zhang Sou finished taking the pulse, he put down Kong Feng's right hand, and the words were not over, so he kept it a secret.
"But what?" Meng Tian said.
On the way here, Meng Tian talked to Zhang Sou and knew that Zhang Sou was not such a pedantic person.
"Master Kong is a role model, and he can teach more disciples if he lives longer. But if Master Kong wants to live a long life, he must be calm." Zhang Sou stroked his beard and said solemnly.
"Abstinence?" Meng Tian pretended to be stunned, "Why do you say that?"
Shusun Tong's eyelids twitched, his heart twitched wildly, and he felt a little curious.
"Master Kong is not young, and the number of times a day should not be too many. According to Lao I, two or three times a month is enough. Just now, it was found that Master Kong's aura was exhausted, which should be caused by too many sexual intercourse..."
"you--"
Before Zhang Suo finished speaking, the Kong Mansion on the ground suddenly sat up, his face turned red, and pointed at Zhang Suo, so angry that he couldn't speak.
Seeing that Kong Feng stopped sleeping, Zhang Sou chuckled softly, packed the medicine bag, and retreated.
Uncle Sun Tong raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. What Zhang Sou said just now was really annoying. Not to mention that Kong Feng was just pretending to be sick, even if he was really sick, he would get up so angry that he would get up.
"Master Kong's movements are neat, his eyes are bright, and his momentum is imposing. I think he has already gone seven or eight minutes after the illness?"
Meng Tian forced himself to hold back and didn't laugh.
Kong Qi relied on the identity of the descendants of the Kong family and refused to accept Meng Tian's invitation. Meng Tian's heart was actually not happy. Cultural people can be arrogant, but too arrogant will make people uncomfortable.
"You are Meng Tian? You are here in Confucius' Mansion today, what's wrong?"
Kong Feng had a cold face and did not give Meng Tian a good look. Zhang Sou just now had to let Meng Tian secretly allow him. Kong Feng valued the most famous thing in his life, and some things, even if they were true, could not be said in front of outsiders.
The most important thing about Confucian theory is to be obscure by the sage. Professor Kong Feng’s disciples have a tall image and cannot be known to outsiders. When a disciple knows how Mr.’s appearance is in private, it will affect his WeChat.
Confucius was very famous in the Kong family's inheritance, but who was Confucius' wife? How many women did each give birth to several children? There is no record of these things.
"Meng Tian once read "Mencius", and Mencius advocated that the world would be united. Now Qin has been striving for the six generations of tyranny, and has gone out of Hangu in the east to sweep away the Liuhe. I wonder what Master Confucius taught?"
The concept of great unification was vigorously promoted by Confucianism. Mencius was a student of the descendants of the Confucius family, and the descendants of the Confucius family studied under the Confucianism inherited by Confucius and always advocated the unity of the world.
After Meng Tian finished speaking, he looked at Kong Qiong calmly and waited for Kong Qiong's answer.
Kong Feng looked at Meng Tian coldly, feeling uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly. Confucianism promoted great unification, but Confucian scholars had no position in the orthodox country that had completed great unification in their hearts.
Mencius called on the whole world to return to the Jixia Academy and become the guest of honor for King Xuan of Qi. In Mencius's heart, he hoped that Qi could implement benevolent government and follow the Tang and Wu methods. Qi did not value Mencius, so Mencius ran to Wei and traveled with King Hui of Wei.
Wei State was defeated by Qi State and Qin State, and its power declined day by day. Mencius was very famous, and King Hui of Wei was eagerly hoping that Mencius could give Wei State the way to enrich the country and strengthen the army. Mencius was not valuable for his words but not for merit, and did not hold a real position in Wei State.
Kong Feng believed that the orthodox Warring States Period failed to implement benevolent government and achieve unity in Confucianism. Instead, the Qin State, which was drifting to the west, followed the Legalism method, enriched the country and strengthened the army, and was about to return to the whole world. How could Kong Feng not be so uncomfortable?
