The fifth year of Xiping (AD 176)
Henan Yin

Goushi County

Goushi Mountain

"Jie virtuousness, but only if he is in the past, he is the only one who is violent. He also became Tang Zhi, and the god's command was to use the three houses; Yan Weipi style, restraint to use Miyake Sanjun, if it is in Shangyi, use it in Jueyi; if it is in the four directions, use Pi style to see virtue."

Wang Ding, the son of Wang Yun, is studying "Shangshu" and is very attentive.

"Xuande, he is so serious, he reads books every day." Gongsun Zan on the side was in disbelief at Wang Ding who was studying the scriptures seriously.

"What is this? I heard that he started to observe filial piety when he was six years old, and then ended it. He has kept filial piety for 12 years. He is the No. 1 obedient filial piety in the world." Liu Bei said, stroking a little milk dog.

He didn't like reading, and he came to Gou's Mountain for only two purposes, one was to gain the fame of the great Confucian Lu Zhi, and the other was to enter the gentry circle and make friends with some famous people.

It was his elder of the same clan, Liu Yuanqi, who saw that Liu Bei was handsome and pretentious, and felt that Liu Bei would be a great man in the future, so he gave Liu Bei a place to apprentice Lu Zhi.

This is actually a kind of investment, just like Lu Buwei's investment in Qin Yiren. If he succeeds, he will earn blood, but if he fails, he can only admit that he is unlucky.

As for Wang Ding, it was because of his 12 years of filial piety that he had accumulated a lot of personal fame, and he was also a child of the Wang family in Liaodong, so he was also able to learn from Lu Zhi's family.

"Oh, if my father-in-law hadn't forced me here, I wouldn't want to come here to read these rotten books. Now my hometown, Youzhou, will be invaded by Xianbei people and Southern Huns from time to time. I wish I could go back now. Going to Youzhou, wrapping my body in horse leather will not waste my seven-foot body!" Compared with reading the Four Books and Five Classics here, Gongsun Zan is all about galloping on the battlefield and killing those grassland barbarians.

"In the future, when I, Liu Bei, return to Youzhou, I will go to the battlefield with you, senior brother, kill barbarian people, and serve the country together!" Liu Bei said passionately while stroking the little milk dog in his hand.

"Okay! As long as I, Gongsun Zan, eat at one bite, Xuande and you will eat at one bite. If you and my brothers and sisters work together, we will definitely make a name for yourself!" Gongsun Zan laughed heartily. Liu Bei, Yue's younger brother, thinks that Liu Bei is a very nice person, which suits his taste very well.

"The two vulgar warriors are really rotten wood." A scholar on the side mocked.

"What, you boy is not convinced? Do you want to make gestures with Gongsun Zan?" Gongsun Zan rolled up his sleeves and was ready to hit someone. He has a violent temper, and if he gets angry, he will vent it on the spot, regardless of the consequences.

"What are you doing?" At this moment, Wang Ding came over and asked Gongsun Zan and the others.

"I have met Senior Brother Wang." A group of students saluted Wang Ding one after another.

Among Lu Zhi's many students, Wang Ding is undoubtedly the most talented. He has deep research on Confucian scriptures, and with the aura of "Shouxiao 12 Years", the rest of the students respect Wang Ding very much. Even Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei are no exception.

"It's nothing, it's just that some villains are making noise." After Gongsun Zan finished speaking, he glared at the scholar.

Wang Ding shook his head, sat on the root of a giant tree, and continued to study the scriptures.

The rest of the people also gathered together to form several small circles.

These small circles discuss scriptures, discuss current affairs, or imagine the future.

And in the small circle of Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei, Liu Deran and others, they were discussing current affairs.

"Last year, Cai Yilang (Cai Yong) asked the court to revoke the "Three Mutual Laws", but the court did not agree."

"I really don't know what His Majesty thinks. Since the promulgation of the Three Mutual Laws, many states have no governors, many counties have no prefects, and some counties have no county magistrates, making the world in chaos."

"Your Majesty must have been deceived by the eunuch. All the responsibility lies with the eunuch, and it is all the fault of the eunuch."

"As long as the eunuchs are eradicated, the world will be peaceful, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment."

"It's easier said than done to live and work in peace and contentment. This year, our Youzhou was plundered by the Southern Huns and Xianbei again."

"It's a pity that my big man no longer has Wang You'an and Wang Mingyu. Otherwise, there is nothing to be afraid of mere Huns."

"I really don't understand why the royal family of Liaodong has never produced generals in the past 100 years. They are all Confucian scholars. Has their family been Confucianized?"

"Looking at Wang Zi'an's dedicated study of Confucian classics, who would have thought that he would be a descendant of Wang You'an?"

"A virtuous minister deserves a wise lord, and the world can be saved. Now there are many virtuous ministers. We are virtuous ministers, but there is no wise lord. Alas..."

"You can't say that. Although today's world is lustful and licentious, and has countless beauties in the harem, it has repeatedly ordered the tax reduction and exemption of the common people. Although it is not a wise king, it is not a foolish one. It is only because the eunuchs fooled it that it will launch the party."

"If you want to explain the Lord, the most benevolent and righteous person in the clan of the Han Dynasty is Liu Bo'an (Liu Yu). If Liu Bo'an can become the emperor, the world will be saved."

"Heh, in my opinion, Liu Bo'an is just a rotten Confucian. He thinks that he can influence the barbarians with benevolence and righteousness. However, only death can make the barbarians peaceful. My Gongsun Zan's belief in this life is to kill the barbarians to extinction!"

"It's a big mistake. In the past, Duan Jiming also wanted to kill the Qiang people to extinction. What happened? The Qiang people rebelled more and more, and they couldn't be killed. To truly pacify the Qiang people, we still have to practice benevolence and justice."

When everyone was discussing, Lu Zhi came to this bamboo forest, saw that some people were studying the classics, and some were teasing Feiying and lackeys, but he didn't care.

Many of his disciples are related households, and he did not expect them to inherit his mantle.

For example, Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan, who came here to go through the motions to gain fame, more than 90 out of a hundred or so disciples are there, and only twenty or thirty of them can really calm down and study the Confucian classics.

Among the twenty or thirty, only Wang Ding could satisfy Lu Zhi.

"Meet the teacher."

Seeing Lu Zhi coming, Liu Bei quickly put down his little milk dog and saluted Lu Zhi.

Although he doesn't like reading, it doesn't mean he doesn't know etiquette.

He is simply not interested in Confucian classics, but he still has the basic principles of being a human being.

"Yeah." Lu Zhi nodded, not paying too much attention.

He accepted more than 100 students, and Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan was just one of the very inconspicuous students.

"Meet the teacher."

Different from Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan, Wang Ding is more gentle and elegant, with a scholarly atmosphere in his whole body. He is not tall, only seven feet two inches (172), while Liu Bei is seven feet five inches tall (178).

"Zian, you don't need to search for chapters and excerpt sentences when reading, and you don't need to chew on the words, you just need to understand the meaning. We read books to understand the truth of the world through books, not to regard books as everything in our lives." Although Lu Zhi is a great Confucian, he He has his own attitude towards Confucian classics.

He is also a great Confucian, but his brother Zheng Xuan pays more attention to the Confucianism itself, and wants to study every word in the Confucianism thoroughly.

But he believes that reading is to comprehend the thoughts that the sages wanted to convey to future generations from the books, not to babble and show off knowledge.

"Student understands." Wang Ding replied respectfully, but he was still very meticulous in the study of Confucian classics. He wished he had to study every radical of a word in Confucian classics repeatedly for three days and three nights.

Why did the sages write this sentence?Why use this word?Why use this word?Why use this radical?Why is this word placed in this position?Did the sages secretly hide some great wisdom and secrets in the book waiting for us, the descendants, to discover?Have we, descendants of us, only seen through the first and fourth layers when studying Confucian classics, but in fact there is still a fifth layer that we have not studied?

Gentlemen, this is the book of the sages, you must study every detail carefully.
