Zhuang Zhou watched Xun Kuang follow Mencius into the palace of Qufu! Didn't follow it!
Mencius returned to Qufu Palace, made some explanations, and left Xun Kuang to study in Qufu Palace. He took a group of students back to his hometown of Zou State, returned to his roots, and passed away not long after.
Mencius's life was like that of Confucius. He lost his father in his early years and lived in exile. In his middle age and in his later years, he took his students to travel around the world and was respected by all countries, but did not use them. Mencius advocated the 'theory of good nature', emphasized 'sacrifice for righteousness', advocated 'benevolent government', and proposed that 'the people are more valuable than the monarch'. There are "Classics" and "Shu Jing" compiled to elucidate Confucius' thoughts and doctrines. He also wrote the book "Mencius", with a total of seven chapters. His name was passed down to later generations. His status as a Confucian was second only to Confucius. Together with Confucius, he was also called Confucius and Mencius. He had a profound influence on Confucianism.
On the day Mencius died, the whole country of Zou mourned. Countless scholars in the world who were influenced by Mencius are all deeply saddened.
Many years later in the future, in the Eastern Qin Heavenly Court, Zhang Ru suddenly left seclusion.
As soon as he came out of the seclusion, in the Tiangong Realm, endless awe-inspiring righteousness soared into the sky, spread out flatly, and was so vast that it shook the world.
"Master Zhang is out of seclusion?" The eyes of some important officials in Eastern Qin Dynasty lit up and they all went to Zhang Ru's house.
Zhang Ru came out of seclusion, but after sitting in the seclusion for a long time, he took a deep breath and collected the awe-inspiring righteousness that filled the sky.
Slowly, Zhang Ru stepped out of the practice room.
"Master Zhang!" Han Fei, Nangong Lang, and Lu Yang were waiting at the door.
"My lords!" Zhang Ru bowed slightly.
"You are out of prison! Nowadays, the Ministry of Rites has many affairs, and we need to help with the approval and sealing of major events. We are all overwhelmed. His Majesty's whereabouts are unknown now. We...!" Nangong Lang sighed.
"Don't worry, Mr. Nangong. I have seen your majesty. Your majesty is well and has regained his understanding of Taoism!" Zhang Ru said.
"What? Have you met His Majesty?" Han Fei's eyes lit up.
"Your Majesty is very good. You asked me to give you a message. You will come back when the road is completed!" Zhang Ru said to everyone.
The ministers looked at each other and felt relieved after receiving the news from Wang Xiong.
----------
Medieval times.
Zhuang Zhou sent Mencius away and returned to Nanhua Mountain, but he received news from all over the world.
"Deng Lingzi, in the Chu Kingdom, issued an order to summon Mozi to gather all the Mozi in the world to fight against Yang Zhu and avenge Mozi!"
"Xiang Liqin, in the Qin State, issued an order to summon Mozi to gather all the Mozi in the world to fight against Yang Zhu and avenge Mozi!"
"Master Xiang, in Qi State, issued an order to summon Mozi to gather all the Mozi in the world to fight against Yang Zhu and avenge Mozi!"
Jinmu Yuanjun handed Zhuang Zhou the information just collected by the disciples of Xiaoyao Academy.
Nowadays, Xiaoyao Academy accepts students from all over the world, and nobles from all over the world come one after another. Similarly, they also bring news from all over the world.
"Deng Lingzi, it's good to live in peace and harmony!" Zhuang Zhou sighed.
"Where is everything safe and sound? Previously, Yang Zhu sent six groups of troops to Nanhua Mountain, two to Beiming Island, and four others. Bian Que was erratic and did not know where he was going. However, Xiangfuzi, Xiangliqin, and Deng Lingzi, everyone was attacked by surprise!" Jinmu Yuanjun explained.
"oh?"
"However, Xiangfuzi, Xiangliqin, and Deng Lingzi all received gifts from Mozi before his death. Their strength greatly increased and they defeated all the attacks. Only then did they get angry and issue a summons. Mo Ling!" Jinmu Yuanjun explained.
"Oh? Great increase in strength?" Zhuang Zhou frowned slightly.
"Now, when the Mo disciples in the world are in panic after the death of Mo Zi, the three great Mo disciples, the three direct disciples of Mo Zi, have become their spiritual sustenance and their new leaders! As soon as the summoning order came out, many people Throw forward!" Jinmu Yuanjun explained.
"The Mohist family is divided into three factions?" Zhuang Zhou looked at Jinmu Yuanjun.
"Yes, Xiang Fuzi, the leader of the *, Xiang Liqin, the leader of Qin Mo, and Deng Lingzi, the leader of Chu Mo! The Mo family is divided into three factions. Now, the news is spreading more and more, and soon, the whole world will know it!" Jinmu Yuan Jun explained.
"Chu Mo, Deng Lingzi? This little girl seems to have been greatly stimulated this time. She actually wants to lead the Mo family?" Zhuang Zhou asked with a bitter smile.
"Your daughter, are you going to help her?" Jinmu Yuanjun asked curiously.
Zhuang Zhou shook his head: "Let her go! If she can't hold it anymore, I'll have another look! Besides, Chu State is not far away from my Nanhua Mountain! As long as I'm here, who dares to touch her?"
"Let her do whatever you want? You let her do everything. If something goes wrong, you help her take care of it? You dote on her too much!" Jealousy flashed in Jinmu Yuanjun's eyes.
"Haha, little child, why should I be pampered or not?" Zhuang Zhou suddenly said haha and changed the subject.
However, Jinmu Yuanjun was only temporarily sour and did not dwell on this matter.
"However, once Mozi dies, Yang Zhu will probably have the biggest headache!" Jinmu Yuanjun thought for a while.
"Yes, my Xiaoyao Academy has already given him a headache. Now, with the three summoning orders, the Mo family has not weakened because of Mozi's death. On the contrary, it has become even more hostile to Yang Zhu Academy. There are four more big ones at once. Enemy!" Zhuang Zhou looked into the distance.
"I founded Taoism and established the Tao Te Ching. The foundation of Taoism lies in the word 'morality'. Yang Zhu only pursues 'dao' and ignores 'virtue'. It will only be a matter of time before something goes wrong!" Jinmu Yuanjun said .
"Those who rebel against heaven have no virtue!" Zhuang Zhou said coldly.

Above the Qin court!
"Your Majesty, Xiang Liqin is in the Qin State and has issued an order to summon Mohist disciples from all over the world to gather together. I am willing to lead troops to wipe them out!" Lord Wu An said.
"Mr. Wu An, please be patient and don't be impatient!" Zhang Yi stepped out and said.
"Um?"
"Mr. Wu An, have you forgotten what I said in front of the palace not long ago?" Zhang Yi said with a smile.
"Yang Zhu's trouble?" Wu Anjun frowned.
"Yes, now, isn't it true that Yang Zhu's troubles have been answered by me? Within Taoism, Zhuang Zhou has risen, and now he is famous all over the world. He competes with Yang Zhu Academy for the road, and Zhuang Zhou's fight for the road has spread throughout the world!" Zhang Yi said with a smile.
"Zhuang Yang contends?"
"Externally, the Mohist family did not become decadent because of the death of Mozi. On the contrary, the Mohists were divided into three factions, each of which took the destruction of Yang as their own mission. This is a good thing!" Zhang Yi said with a smile.
"But Xiang Liqin gathered Mo in Qin State!"
"Ju Mo, so what? It's not like promoting Mohism and confusing the people of Qin. Our Qin country embraces hundreds of rivers, so why have we ever been afraid of disciples from hundreds of schools coming?" Zhang Yi said with a smile.
Wu Anjun nodded: "That's fine!"
Lord Wu'an retreated, but Zhang Yi looked at King Qin: "Your Majesty, now Hui Shi has returned to the Wei Kingdom to serve as prime minister. Unfortunately, it is no longer the same as before. Yang Zhu Academy, internal and external troubles are no longer a concern! Your Majesty, I need you to serve me again. Go to Wei State and force Hui Shi out of Wei State?"
On the dragon chair, King Qin looked at Zhang Yi, tapped the armrest of the dragon chair with his fingers, and said calmly: "Hui Shi is nothing to worry about, no need to!"
"Yes!" Zhang Yi smiled confidently.
The court meeting ended quickly. After leaving the court meeting, Zhang Yi received compliments from many ministers.
After all, Zhang Yi's skills of vertical and horizontal were indeed powerful. He could analyze the general trend of the world and hit all the right marks. Even Yang Zhu's troubles were predicted in advance.
Zhang Yi was held in high spirits by a group of officials. After the court meeting, he went to have a drink with several officials and received some flattery.
In the evening, Zhang Yi returned to his mansion drunk.
"Master, there is a guest at home!" A housekeeper came to report.
"What kind of guest? Let him wait. We can talk about something tomorrow. Haven't you seen that I am now famous in Qin Tang? Even the king praises me highly, and all the officials praise my talents. I want to go to bed now. Other things, Let’s talk tomorrow! Everyone, wait for me!” Zhang Yi shouted drunkenly.
The butler wanted to nod, but he looked at the token in his hand and finally said with a grimace: "Sir, as you told me before, those who hold this token must be treated seriously no matter what the circumstances, and must stop any of your actions." !”
"What's the token? Let's see who dares to disturb my rest!" Zhang Yi said drunkenly.
The steward held out a wooden token.
The token is very ordinary and crude. There are only two words on it, Guigu!
Ghost Valley
Seeing these two words, Zhang Yi suddenly trembled, feeling drunk, and instantly sobered up. He was sweating profusely.
"Master? Do you want me to tell the distinguished guests that I will summon them tomorrow after the master has rested?" the steward asked curiously.
"Shut up!" Zhang Yi snorted coldly in shock, her drunkenness already gone.
"Where are the people? Where are they?" Zhang Yi asked anxiously.
"In the side hall! Master wants to summon them? I'll call them to the main hall!"
"No, go away, tell everyone to go away, I'll go in person! I'll go in person!" Zhang Yi immediately shouted.
"I...? Yes!" the housekeeper responded.
Although he was full of doubts, he did not dare to disobey Zhang Yi after all.
Zhang Yi carefully put away the token, used magic to evaporate all the alcohol, tidied up his appearance, and went to the side hall.
All the servants in the side hall were called away by the butler.
Zhang Yi stood at the entrance of the small courtyard in the side hall and bowed respectfully towards the small courtyard.
"Disciple Zhang Yi, welcome to the teacher!" Zhang Yi took a deep breath and said respectfully.
There was no sound in the small courtyard. Zhang Yi did not dare to break in, but bowed again.
"Disciple Zhang Yi, welcome to the teacher!" Zhang Yi bowed again.
At this time, an extremely handsome white-faced man walked out of the small courtyard. When the white-faced man came out and saw Zhang Yi, he gave Zhang Yi a slight salute: "Brother, the teacher lets you in!"
"Huh? Okay!" Zhang Yi looked at the white-faced man and didn't ask any more questions, just nodded.
Entering the small courtyard, there were no lights in the side hall. I could only vaguely see an old man through the hazy moonlight. He was sitting on a futon in the side hall at the moment. He lit a stick of incense next to him. The old man was here. In the dim environment, it's like sipping tea. There is a Go board in front of you.
No one is playing chess with the old man, as if the old man is making moves alone. At this moment, he is holding a chess piece and looking at the already filled chess board, thoughtfully. Zhang Yi didn't even notice when he came.
The white-faced man walked respectfully behind the old man and knelt down.
"Teacher!" Zhang Yi bowed respectfully.
Zhang Yi's bow seemed to interrupt the old man's meditation. Then the old man raised his head and put the chess pieces back in the chess bowl.
"Zhang Yi? I haven't seen you for many years, but you have made a lot of progress. Looking at the world, there is no telling!" the old man said calmly.
"Thanks to the teacher's teachings, in the Ghost Valley, the students debated hundreds of schools of thought, and we are where we are today. Even so, it is not as good as the teacher!" Zhang Yi said respectfully.
"Yang Zhu, has become the focus of the world?" the old man said calmly.
"yes!"
"From today on, keep an eye on Yang Zhu's every move!" the old man said calmly.
"Teacher, what do you mean...?"
"This Yang Zhu, I'm afraid he has forgotten my legacy!" The old man sighed slightly.
"Oh?" Zhang Yi asked curiously.
"You shouldn't ask, don't ask! Just figure it out for yourself!" the old man said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Zhang Yi said respectfully.
"This is my new student, his name is Su Qin. If you have any news about Yang Zhu in the future, tell him and he will pass it on to me!" the old man said in a deep voice.
"Yes, I will obey the teacher's order!" Zhang Yi said respectfully.
ps: Historically, after the death of Mozi, the Mohist family was divided into three factions, these are the three factions!
