Song Dynasty, Shangqiu! Outside the ancestral home of Confucius.
At this moment, the entire street was occupied by carriages, and each carriage was accompanied by a large number of servants. So, at this moment, the street outside the ancestral residence of Confucius was blocked.
A group of Confucius' students blocked the ancestral home. Don't let anyone get close.
"Come out Confucius!"
"Confucius, you are a foreigner, what qualifications do you have to marry Qi Guanchi?"
"That's right, Confucius, if you don't look in the mirror, you will be like that...!"
"Get out of Song Dynasty!"
… … … …
… … …
…
A group of people in fine clothes walked at the front, shouting at the Confucius Mansion. The whole street was very lively.
This bustle immediately attracted countless people on the street, waiting eagerly and curiously watching from a distance. The news quickly spread from this street to the entire Shangqiu. All major families sent their servants to inquire about the news.
After all, when Confucius entered Shangqiu, he was already famous in Shangqiu.
Without mentioning Confucius' name, he led hundreds of officials to greet Confucius in person, which shows the splendor of Confucius.
But, how many days have it been like this? Confucius was blocked by someone
This is a big event!
A few days ago, the officials headed by Xiang Xu had great respect for Confucius. Why were they surrounded by a group of young people today? What the hell is going on.
At the gate of Confucius' mansion, Zilu led a group of immortals and looked at a group of young nobles.
"Hmph, who are you? You dare to disturb my teacher!" Zilu shouted coldly.
Zilu was also a sect leader in the past. He was powerful and naturally pressed out with a huge aura.
Originally, by studying with Confucius, Zilu would still be able to treat others with courtesy and would not use his power to overwhelm others. However, at this moment, a group of young people in colorful clothes were too unruly and wanted to force their way in. Zilu had to restrain everyone.
Unfortunately, as soon as Zilu's aura came out, the guards of these noble people also released bursts of aura.
"Immortal?" Zilu looked surprised and said.
The group of guards did not step forward, they just protected their masters.
"Humph, who are we? My son is Song Zuo, and my father is the current King of Song Dynasty!" said the leading noble son.
"Young Master Zuo?" Some people in the distance asked in surprise.
This is the king's eldest son. What, why are you here
"I am Xianghai, my father is Xiangxu!" Another noble son shouted.
"Xiang Hai? The eldest son of the Xiang family?" the people were surprised.
"I'm down there...!"
… … …
… …
One by one, the noble princes announced their names. As soon as the names were announced, the eyes of countless people watching from a distance widened.
"This, these are the young men of the Baiguan family! What are they going to do?"
"Yes, a few days ago, Dr. Xiang Xu led hundreds of officials to hold a banquet for Confucius to catch the wind and wash away the dust. Today, their young masters came to trouble Confucius? What kind of trouble is this?"
"Your Majesty, Doctor Xiang, and all the adults, do you know?"
… … … …
… … …
… …
Sounds of astonishment sounded from all directions. As the news continued to spread, more and more people gathered around Confucius' mansion.
"Why are you gathering around my teacher's house?" Zilu said in a deep voice as he looked at the noble princes of the Song Dynasty.
At this moment, although Zilu didn't recognize him, his ears were astonishing. From the surprised eyes of the people around him, he also understood that almost all the second-generation officials from Shangqiu of Song Dynasty were here
These second-generation officials are not just second-generation officials.
This is the world of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Nowadays, rituals and music have collapsed. However, this era is different from the future where Wang Xiong lives. The family and state system of this era is different. In the era where Wang Xiong lives in the future, the system is mature and there are assessments for the appointment and removal of officials. As long as the citizens are from poor families or nobles, they will have opportunities.
Nowadays, most officials are only in the nobility.
Take the Song Dynasty as an example. The Song Dynasty is a descendant of the royal family of the Shang Dynasty, and most of its major families have the surname Zi. That is to say, the descendants of the emperors of the Shang Dynasty had the surname Zi. Due to the enfeoffment, they were divided into the Song family, the Xiang family, the Hua family, and the Kong family. However, they all had the Zi surname. They are all from the same ancestor. In the appointment and dismissal of officials in the Song Dynasty, most of them were officials with these surnames.
These second-generation officials will obviously inherit the official position after inheriting the position of the head of the family. Although the official position will change due to ability, they will almost always be this group of people.
These second-generation officials are the officials who will govern the Song Dynasty in the future.
This group of people came together to surround Confucius, which was not a good signal.
"What's the matter? We want that Confucius to know that Qi Guanchi is not something he can touch!" shouted a noble prince.
"Yes, Qi Guan is the most beautiful woman in our Song Dynasty. If she wants to marry, she will only marry in Shangqiu. Confucius is an outsider, how dare she have any wrong ideas?"
"Da Xian? I think he is a thief! He has come all the way to Song Dynasty and will only resort to dirty tricks. It's shameful!"
"Do you think there is no one in our Song country?"
"Get out of Song Dynasty!"
… … … …
… … …
… …
All the noble princes were furious and wanted to break down Confucius' ancestral home and tie up Confucius in public.
Everyone's expressions of indignation made Zilu's face darken for a while.
For Qi Guanchi
Are you kidding me, that day when Confucius was at the banquet, Zilu was beside him. Confucius clearly rejected Qi Guan Zheng, and did not miss Qi Guan Chi at all.
It was the Song State who shamelessly wanted to give Qi Guanzheng to the teacher, not the teacher who wanted to marry him.
These noble gentlemen, are they crazy
"Did you make a mistake? Are you slandering my teacher's innocence?" Zilu said coldly.
"Fart, you made a mistake!"
"You dare to do it but you don't want to admit it?"
"Confucius, come out! What qualifications do you have to marry Qi Guanchi?"
"Get out of Song Dynasty!"
… … … …
… … …
… …
Outside the Confucius Mansion, there was a commotion.
Not far from the Confucius Mansion, there was an attic.
Qi Guanchi, dressed in a red robe, stood at a high place and looked proudly at the noise in front of the Confucius Mansion in the distance.
"Miss, this, this, this, they really came to drive Confucius away because of the lady?" the maid asked in disbelief.
"Hmph, what a bunch of perverts!" Qi Guanchi looked at those noble gentlemen with a look of disdain.
"Miss, it's not right to say that they are not good. It was you, miss, who asked people to send letters to these noble gentlemen, telling them about Confucius' evil and asking them for help. Now, they have finally helped young lady. Besides, there is also Mr. Zuo. !" The maid suddenly smiled bitterly.
"These noble gentlemen? Huh, ever since my father leaked my portrait, these noble gentlemen have been sending matchmakers to my house every day to talk about matchmaking. It's really...!" Qi Guanchi frowned.
"Miss, it's because of your beauty that they are fascinated by you!" the maid suddenly said proudly.
"Hmph, I don't need them to be fascinated, I just want the king..., I, hum, they let the matchmakers bother me every day, just in time to fight fire with fire, let these guys I hate deal with the even more annoying guys in Confucius!" Qi Guanchi suddenly said proudly.
"Miss, you don't know how beautiful you are. The letter you sent to these noble gentlemen made them go crazy and try their best to show it off! If I let the master know, the master...!" The maid suddenly worried.
"I emphasized to them in my letter not to reveal that I asked them to deal with Confucius!" Qi Guanzheng said.
"Hahaha, Miss is so smart. They want to please Miss and try their best to express themselves. There is no way they can reveal that Miss asked them for help!" The maid suddenly laughed.
"Of course!" Qi Guanzheng said proudly.
Standing on the attic, Qi Guanchi stared at the door of Confucius' mansion through the hollow windows.
"Kongqiu, hum, let me see what you will do this time!" Qi Guanchi clenched his fists and waited for the development of the situation.
at the same time.
All the noble sons of Shangqiu blocked the door of Confucius, and the news spread throughout Shangqiu instantly, and it also reached the ears of all the masters and officials.
When they learned that their son had gone to block the door of Confucius, the officials' expressions suddenly changed. But the next moment, they heard that the sons of King Song and Xiang Xu had also gone to block the door, which made them feel better.
Now, regarding Confucius's departure or stay, in the Song Dynasty, Xiang Xu took the lead and tried his best to stay. This would cause trouble, which was not a trivial matter. If something went wrong, Xiang Xu's plan would be ruined. Blame is a huge disaster.
Fortunately, now that King Song and Xiang Xu's son are in front, things will be better after all.
But even so, all the masters were also annoyed.
"Who instigated the young master to go to the Confucius Mansion to cause trouble?"
"Bastard, who deceived the young master about Kong Qiu and Qi Guanchi?"
"Call me the personal servants beside the young master."
… … … …
… … …
… …
All the major families were angry.
At Xiangxu's Mansion. In the study room.
Xiang Xu was looking at the scrolls of reports. His brows were furrowed. A group of clan officials were reporting.
"Nothing to gain again?" Xiang Xu frowned.
"Yes, today, all major cities came to report that not only were there no grains harvested, but even the wheat seedlings bought from the State of Lu did not survive!" an official from the tribe said with a bitter smile.
"Bang!" Xiang Xu put down these reports, his face looking ugly for a while.
"Continue to investigate for me and use all the power of the family!" Xiang Xu said coldly.
"All the power?" A group of clan officials exclaimed.
Xiang Xu nodded: "With all your strength, tell all the family branches in each city to notify them and tell them what I said. If anyone dares to violate the law, he will be dealt with according to the family law!"
"Yes!" A group of clan officials responded.
"Also, try to suppress this matter as much as possible. Do not publicize it. If someone does, take it down immediately and imprison it!" Xiang Xu said in a deep voice.
"Why?"
"Hey, people can't panic. Now it's just a famine. Once people panic, it will shake the foundation of the country! We should do our best for the Song Dynasty!" Xiang Xu said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" everyone responded.
"Go quickly!" Xiang Xu ordered.
A group of officials rushed out of the house.
At this moment, a steward came quickly to report that the noble sons were besieging the Confucius Mansion.
"Oh?" Xiang Xu's face darkened.
"The young master has gone too. I can't stop you. I...!" The housekeeper immediately apologized.
"Huh?" Xiang Xu's face turned cold.
"I have found out. One of the young master's servants was taken down by me. After some corrections, I finally revealed that it was Qi Guanzheng's daughter who wrote the letter...!" said the housekeeper.
"Huh, what a lustful thing!" Xiang Xu suddenly became angry.
Xiang Xu's eyes were annoyed, but then he seemed to think of something, but his expression softened.
"Master, do you want me to go again...?" The housekeeper looked at Xiang Xu.
Xiang Xu looked in the direction of Kong Mansion and shook his head: "No, this may not be a bad thing!"
"Ah?" The housekeeper looked confused.
