Chapter 33. Mixing in with Confucian scholars

From the late autumn of last year to the beginning of spring this year, nothing major happened.Until the end of February, a major event happened in the court—Ying Zheng led hundreds of officials and more than [-] Confucian scholars to Mount Tai to hold the ceremony of enshrining Zen.

Such a grand occasion, even Jin Ke wanted to see it with his own eyes.

But Jin Ke knew that it would be inappropriate for him, the queen in name, to go to something like this, especially when there are many Confucian scholars accompanying him.

But Ying Zheng didn't think so.The Fengchan Grand Ceremony is going to Mount Tai.Mount Tai was at the junction of Qi State and Lu State in the past. Although it is not far away from Xianyang City, it is definitely not close.When Ying Zheng left, many people followed him.It's not going to come back for a few months.

Ever since Ying Zheng and Jin Ke got together, they have never been apart for more than a day.If Jin Ke really doesn't go this time, wouldn't the two of them have to be separated for several months?Ying Zheng will naturally try to take Jin Ke with him.

"I am the emperor, I can't just listen to what others say and do." Ying Zheng said, "I will take you to the Zen ceremony no matter what."

Jin Ke looked at the childish Yingzheng, and laughed out loud: "Your tone is really like a child! You said you went to the Zen ceremony, what should I do? Let the world laugh at you for nothing!"

"You are my queen, sharing this country with me!" Ying Zheng said, "If I can go, why can't you?"

"Share the world?" Jin Ke said, "Ying Zheng, you are so generous! Aren't you afraid that I will covet your Great Qin Dynasty?"

"Coveted? Give it to you, do you want it?" Ying Zheng asked.For Jin Ke who is so lazy every day, Ying Zheng doesn't think he will be interested in this country.After all, almost every day I hear Jin Ke complaining that he is too busy with government affairs.

"Who cares about your country!" Jin Ke said, "I'm so tired!"

Look, this is what Jin Ke thought when he saw it.In fact, the two have been getting along for a long time. Not only does Jin Ke understand Ying Zheng, but Ying Zheng also has a good understanding of Jin Ke's temperament.

"You go with me!" Ying Zheng still said, "I really don't want to leave you for so long! I'll tell you where the Confucian scholars are!"

"By the way, since there are Confucian scholars who can go!" Jin Ke suddenly thought of a way, "Why don't I get in with that group of Confucian scholars! Then they can't object! Anyway, those Confucian scholars have never seen me! "

"Get in?" Ying Zheng's expression was not right.Obviously Ying Zheng didn't believe that Jin Ke could get in.Only in the whole country have we found more than 70 Confucian scholars with good conduct in all aspects.It can be seen that there are not many such people.

"Why, you don't believe I can sneak in?" Jin Ke asked.Anyway, I am also a person of the 21st century. Although my level may not be as high as theirs, I don't know much about etiquette, music, archery, imperial, books, and mathematics.But I can't stand my novel viewpoint!The Confucian school has been developed for 2000 years, and the viewpoints that I put forward, I guess, will take these great Confucians to study for a lifetime!

"Believe me, believe me!" Ying Zheng said, "How can I not know your abilities?" I'm not afraid if I can't get in, after all, those Confucian scholars are also under my control!

"I'll go by myself, you can't interfere!" Jin Ke knew what Ying Zheng was going to do when he saw Ying Zheng's expression.

"Okay!" Ying Zheng, who had been seen through, had no choice but to say so.

......

To say that Jin Ke actually has no good tricks.Jin Ke sent someone to investigate and found the most famous old gentleman among the group of Confucian scholars named Guo Zurun.Jin Ke decided to start with this old Guo.Once Mr. Guo identified himself, the others would definitely have nothing to say.

The old gentleman's life is fixed.Every day, apart from staying in the post house to study the Spring and Autumn Period, I just go out and drink a small pot of turbid wine while walking.Well, this old Guo likes two things in his life, one is books and the other is wine.So Jin Ke easily had a chance encounter with this old gentleman in the tavern.

On this day, Mr. Guo went to the tavern to drink wine with an empty flagon.As soon as I entered, I smelled a strong aroma of wine.Elder Guo looked around and saw a young young man tasting wine at the table, the aroma of the wine definitely came from that young man.The aroma of this wine is not a small attraction for Mr. Guo who is addicted to alcohol.Guo Lao sat down immediately.

If Mr. Guo is a sensible person, he didn't ask the tavern owner for wine, but he knew that the wine was kept by the little brother.

And this little brother is Jin Ke.He tried to brew this wine himself a few years ago, but he didn't expect it to be ready, and it came in handy at this time.

"Little brother, where did you get this wine?" Old Guo asked.

Jin Ke said, "This wine? I made it myself!"

"Oh? Then I wonder if the little brother can exchange some of this wine for the old man?" Mr. Guo asked with a shy face.If the taste of this wine was not so attractive, Mr. Guo would definitely not ask someone for something like this.

Jin Ke likes to get straight to the point. Anyway, this old gentleman will know his purpose sooner or later, so there is no need to hide it.Otherwise, when Mr. Guo finds out, he will definitely look down on him even more.

"Old man, I still have a jar of this wine here! It's not impossible to give it to you! I just want you to recommend it to me, and join this Confucian scholar, and follow the emperor to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen!" Jin Ke State your purpose.

"This is impossible!" Guo Lao said, "This is a big deal! If we smash it, I'm afraid we all have to lose our heads!"

It's still for the face of the wine, otherwise Jin Ke estimated that the old gentleman would scold him directly.You must know that soon after, this group of Confucian scholars would dare to scold Ying Zheng, the first emperor!

"Sir, you don't trust me so much?" Jin Ke asked, "Why do you think that I will mess up this matter, sir?"

"Little brother, do you know how important the Fengchan Grand Ceremony is?" Mr. Guo suddenly became serious, "The Confucian scholars staying in the post house are the most famous ones in various places! Little brother also thinks Participating, is there any prestige?"

"I am a person with no name and no surname!" Jin Ke said, "But old man, don't you want a reputation instead of a person with real talents and learning?"

"Little brother, it's not that this old man looks down on you! It's just that at this young age, it's really hard for this old man to believe in your talents!" Old Guo said.That's right, among the seventy or so Confucian scholars, the youngest is in his forties, reaching the age of not being confused.However, although Jin Ke has barely reached his thirties, he looks like he is in his twenties, and he should still be at the age of learning.

"In the past, some people judged people by their appearance, but now, sir, it's a bit arbitrary to judge a person by age!" Jin Ke said.

At this time, Mr. Guo also showed some interest, and said, "Then what are your skills, little brother?" In fact, this Mr. Guo had already thought differently about this young man when he heard that Jin Ke wanted to help him. read.No matter when, honest people will always be appreciated.Especially a person like Mr. Guo who has righteous thoughts and actions.

"Mister Jean accepted me for three reasons!" Jin Ke said, "First, my age is here, which just fills in the age blank for you old gentlemen! Second, it is this jar of good wine! And the third The second is because when an event becomes a major event in the world, no one in the world can stay out of it【1】The ceremony of enshrining Zen is not just a matter of His Majesty the Emperor alone, nor is it just the civil and military officials and the old gentlemen. Confucian scholar. Everyone can participate. I just want to do my best!"

"It's such a good person that everyone in the world can't stay out of it!" Mr. Guo nodded appreciatively, "You are just a little brother, can you represent the people in the world? Why did I choose you instead of someone more talented?"

Now Jin Ke is in a hurry. You must know that the words that Mr. Guo admired were plagiarized from a certain anime.Jin Ke only knows a little about Confucianism.If Mr. Guo came up with an introduction to test a certain question of Jin Ke, maybe Jin Ke could talk a few words with eloquence, which would make Mr. Guo look at him differently.But now Mr. Guo doesn't ask anything, Jin Ke can't raise a topic by himself!This is unavoidably a bit too deliberate.

Jin Ke, who was in a hurry, suddenly saw the wine jar in his hand.

Jin Ke said: "It can be seen that you are an alcoholic, Mr. Kong, the ancestor of our sect, but Mr. Kong, the ancestor of our school, did not admire the wine culture very much. He believed that people should not drink alcohol easily except for the need for sacrifices. Drinking wine. But I don’t think so! "Shen Nong’s Materia Medica" has records about wine, and our Chinese nation is the heyday of wine culture. The meaning of wine is not only for the needs of sacrificial rituals, but also for food and drink. Instead, it should be used as a kind of culture to express a kind of etiquette, a kind of atmosphere, a kind of taste, and a kind of state of mind. I think the old man seems to be addicted to alcohol, but what I want to see is just wine tasting After that, the transcendent and refined artistic conception!"

Jin Ke was eager to be smart, but fortunately, he joined an interest club in his university, and that club specialized in tea and wine culture.After so many months of nurturing in it, Jin Ke, who has no taste for elegance, has a bit of elegance.

Looking at the complacent Jin Ke, Mr. Guo said: "Little brother, what you said is disrespectful to the ancestor of our sect! Aren't you afraid that I will hate you for it?"

"The old man is not such a person!" Jin Ke said, "Even if the first ancestor is reborn, I'm afraid I won't be angry because I refuted his words! Don't we just pay attention to a broad-mindedness?"

"Little brother, you are good!" Mr. Guo nodded and said, "Do you want to go to the post house with the old man?"

"No no no! I have a place to live in Xianyang City!" Jin Ke couldn't hide his joy for a while.

"The little brother will go to the post house in three days!" Guo Lao said, "You will live in the post house no matter what you say that night!"

"Yes!" Jin Ke said, "Sir, I'll give you wine!" Jin Ke handed over the wine.

"Wait!" Old Guo said, "Little brother, did you forget to leave your name?"

"Oh!" Jin Ke slapped his forehead and said, "Old Guo, just call me thank you for staying!"

Even if this thing is done!
