The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 77: Counterattack First Step

Jia Xu went to see Old Master Meng?

It feels like an impossible relationship. Jia Xu is good at maneuvering and is not proficient in Confucianism. Why can he meet the old master Meng who rarely sees visitors?

Old Master Meng is the leader of Confucianism in the Xia Kingdom, one of the most famous Confucian officials in the capital, and even taught the Xia Emperor when he was young, and was the first teacher of the Xia Emperor. Entering the cabinet, Confucianism is famous all over the world.

At his ancient age, Emperor Xia intended to bestow him with the title of grand teacher, but he didn't want him to suddenly become an official and declined the grace of Emperor Xia. Instead, he founded Yuewen Academy, dedicated to teaching and educating people to cultivate pillars for the country, and actively He is a well-deserved Confucian master who promotes disciples from poor families.

How did Jia Xu win the chance to meet him?

This needs to go back to yesterday.

Xiao Rui and the others were furious at the inner court secretary's making things difficult, so Jia Xu naturally wanted to take action. For the past three months, Jia Xu has been getting to know the civil and military officials in the capital, getting to know their identities, relationships, and values ​​so that he can better assist Xiao Rui.

This time the Inner Court Secretary must have been instigated by someone to make things difficult, otherwise the eunuch with the palm seal of the Inner Court Secretary would not dare to make a claim, and the Inner Court Secretary is one of the twenty-four yamen in the imperial palace, and it is not convenient for civil and military officials to intervene, nor can they intervene. Then you can find people outside the court, and Jia Xu thinks of the highly respected Old Master Meng.

Jia Xu then asked Xiao Rui: "His Royal Highness, I remember that you are proficient in poetry, and you once articulated it when you were studying in the Jiwen Hall. Now, do you have good poems in your heart that can attract the attention of Master Meng from Yuewen Academy?"

Xiao Rui blinked, and shouted to Gao Quan: "Gao Quan, come with a pen!"

Afterwards, Jia Xu took the poems to Yuewen Academy, and handed the poems to a lecturer of Yuewen Academy, and asked him to pass them on to Master Meng, and hoped that he could come to visit him tomorrow.

That's how Jia Xu visited Master Meng today.

When Jia Xu met Master Meng, he saw that he had white hair and a childlike face. Although he was an octogenarian, he was still in his prime, full of energy and spirit, full of literary and Confucian spirit.

Jia Xu didn't dare to take it too seriously, and hurriedly cupped her hands and said: "Jia paid a visit to Master Meng, and I hope you will forgive me if I have disrespected you."

Master Meng got up and came, invited Jia Xu to take a seat, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jia, you are too polite. I am an ordinary person, how can I say forgiveness? Mr. Jia came here for His Highness King Xian. It is because I did not greet well. "

Jia Xu laughed and said, "His Royal Highness King Xian wanted to come to visit in person, but considering that the mansion has just opened, all the eyes of the capital are watching, and if you come to visit suddenly, it may affect the reputation of the master, so I can only entrust you to come. Please."

Master Meng asked Jia Xu to sit down, and he returned to the head seat. On the table next to him was the poem Jia Xu sent yesterday. He glanced at it again and liked the boldness of the poem.

"Although the tortoise lives long, it still has its time; the snake rides the fog, and it ends up in ashes. The old man has a long-term ambition; the martyr's old age, his ambition is endless."

Although I like it, but if it has ulterior motives and is opportunistic, it will make people feel unhappy, so Meng Fuzi suspects that the Seventh Prince can't break away from the cliché, thinking of wooing himself? Then this method of borrowing literature seems despicable, which makes him despised.

Thinking of this, Master Meng became even more displeased. He has always been jealous of evil, and he hates this kind of sycophantic and sycophant activities, let alone the actions of a dignified prince.

Seeing Master Meng's displeasure, Jia Xu took a sip of tea calmly.

On Confucianism, I am not as good as you.

In terms of mind, you are not as good as me.

Sure enough, Master Meng took the bait and asked, "I wonder what His Majesty the Seventh Highness is asking for? I'm old and I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it."

But Jia Xu said: "His Royal Highness Xian begs the master to agree to let a boy who is a slave be admitted to the hospital to study!"

"Huh?" Master Meng was taken aback, as if he couldn't believe his ears, and asked, "Mr. Jia, what did you say?"

Jia Xu said again: "His Highness King Xian begged Master to agree to allow a boy who is a slave to study in the hospital!"

After a pause, Jia Xu gave him time to think, and then explained: "His Royal Highness Xian is also deeply ashamed for begging the Master for such a thing, but those who want to be slaves can be admitted to the hospital to study, and only the Master orders it." It's done."

Master Meng was both puzzled and curious. It turned out that the Seventh Highness didn't try to win him over, but just asked for a place in the school, or for a boy who was a slave. What twists and turns did it have?

"His Royal Highness King Xian is a prince with a noble status, why is he busy for a slave boy?" Master Meng couldn't help asking.

Jia Xu sighed, and asked back: "Master, a few days ago, His Highness was punished to kneel down in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and was reprimanded by Emperor Xia and confined at home, did you hear?"

"I heard that His Highness the Seventh Highness left Beijing without permission to suppress the bandits." Naturally, Master Meng couldn't ignore the affairs outside the window, especially the royal affairs, which were the focus of public discussion.

Jia Xu said: "That's right, His Highness was punished because he left Beijing to suppress the bandits, but the reason why he knelt for so long and was reprimanded by Emperor Xia and put him in confinement was because of other things."

After all, Jia Xu promised Xiao Rui to the criminal woman to take care of the bandit's son, and refused Emperor Xia's order, and did not hand over the bandit's son to Dongchang for disposal.

Meng Fuzi was a little moved: "His Royal Highness keeps his promise, neither humble nor overbearing, rare, rare!"

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Although Your Highness knelt for more than four hours and was locked up for more than ten days, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Your Highness is also hoping to use the cultivation of Confucianism to be a teacher. Let him wash away his bandit spirit and establish a righteous character. In this way, he is worthy of His Highness's good intentions."

Master Meng was even more moved, and said: "Okay, the old man agrees to this matter, and the boy can be sent to study tomorrow. The old man promises that he will not be bullied. Your Highness is so caring, how can the old man refuse?"

Jia Xu immediately got up and bowed deeply, and said: "Master Su Wen is a good teacher in the world. There is no distinction between teaching and learning. When I saw you today, my reputation is well-deserved. His Royal Highness King Xian is really as good as a god, and cherishes each other with Master."

"Oh? What did your highness say?" Master Meng was led away and immediately asked curiously.

Jia Xu squinted her eyes, flashed shrewdness, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness Xian said, Master Meng is a person who teaches and educates people sincerely, not for the pursuit of wealth and fame in the world. Your Highness said, Master, you will definitely agree to this matter, isn't it? For his sake, the son of a bandit also has the right to study."

"Haha... good, good..." Master Meng laughed loudly when he heard it: "King Xian has such an idea, and he really cherishes each other with this old man. If there is a chance, we must visit and communicate."

Jia Xu reached into his bosom, took out a scroll, and presented it to Master Meng with both hands, saying: "His Royal Highness Xian is very grateful for Master's help and trust, but presenting yellow and white things is too vulgar, and the calligraphy, painting and calligraphy are not in the master's eyes." , so His Highness personally wrote an article, and asked Master to give some ink for guidance."

"Oh? I want to appreciate it." Mengfuzi was overjoyed. Will the writing be bad even though the turtle lives long?
