Chapter 73 Shock
Zhao Jia caught up with Fan Zeng and saluted solemnly in front of him.
Fan Zeng felt at a loss for Zhao Jia's heavy gift and said hurriedly: "How can the young master do this!"
Fan Zeng is no better than Li Si.
Although Li Si was not from a good background, he was more determined to be a rat in the warehouse. He even went abroad to study and worshipped under Xunzi.
Therefore, although Li Si did not have much reputation at this time, he was considered a famous family and his identity was gilded.
Fan Zeng is not the same.
History records of Fan Zeng start from coming out of the mountain to help Xiang Yu at the age of 70.
Before this, Fan Zeng was just a hermit and had no reputation.
During the Warring States Period, everyone pursued fame and fortune. Most of the so-called hermits were just not valued and were forced to live in seclusion.
Few people with real backgrounds and talented people are willing to live in seclusion.
Observe what Fan Zeng did.
He was still willing to come out to help Xiang Yu at the age of 70, which shows that he was not the kind of person who did not pursue fame and fortune.
Otherwise, he could continue to live in seclusion until death in obscurity.
The Book of Rites says: If the punishment is not given to the doctor, the etiquette will not be given to the common people.
During the Warring States Period, except for Qin, the nobles of other countries were not so friendly to the common people.
This also made many talented and learned people not valued and then left Qin.
Zhao Jiagui was the eldest grandson of King Zhao, and Fan Zeng was only from an ordinary family and had no reputation. He could not bear such a tribute at all.
Looking at Fan Zeng's helpless appearance, Zhao Jia felt suspicious again, and was a little uncertain. Is the person in front of him the Fan Zeng in history?
"I see that you are very righteous, and I wonder if I am lucky to ask you to speak!"
Although he was suspicious in his heart, Zhao Jia still held courtesy and respectful on the surface.
"Zhao Jia, you saw that this princess has not given this heavy gift yet, but has repeatedly bowed to a down-and-out scholar. Don't you know that 'the courtesy is not inferior to the common people'!"
At this moment, the eldest princess of Chu, Mi Fu, had wide eyes and shouted angrily.
She thought she was extremely beautiful and had an outstanding identity. In the past, no matter where she went, she was always surrounded by stars.
But I didn't expect that in Zhao Jia's eyes, I was not as happy as a down-and-out man. How could I feel happy?
When Zhao Jia heard this, he frowned slightly.
In this era, identity and status are indeed emphasized, but unfortunately, Zhao Jia, who came from later generations, pays more attention to talents than these external things.
No one can choose their birth, but they can choose how to live for the rest of their lives.
Zhao Jia was quite displeased when judging people by their origins.
He turned around and stared at Mi Fu, shouting in a deep voice: "Since the princess knows that etiquette is not inferior to the common people, can she know what this sentence means?"
Mi Fu raised her head proudly and said disdainfully: "The courtesy cannot be polite to the common people, but means that the nobles do not need to salute to the common people. How could this princess not know such a simple truth?"
Zhao Jia shook his head and said, "The princess is such a bad word."
"If the common people do not worship in temples, the etiquette of the ancestral temple is not as good as it is; if the common people walk, the etiquette of the carriage is not as good as it is; if the common people see that the gentleman does not tolerate it, the etiquette of the court is not as good as it is."
"If you don't go down, it means that you don't go down."
"The princess is the eldest daughter of the King of Chu. She distorts the words of sages, but she still doesn't know how to do it!"
Zhao Jia's remarks not only stunned Mi Fu, but even Li Si and Fan Zeng were frowning and thinking hard.
The etiquette cannot be compared to common people. Zheng Xuan, a great scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty, explained it to him.
As for what Zhao Jia said, the latter explained his understanding of this sentence, but it was also extremely insightful.
If the ritual does not go to the common people, it is not that the common people should not bow to the common people, but because the common people do not worship in temples and do not take a car, they naturally do not need to follow those complicated etiquettes.
This new way of understanding can be imagined.
The reflection lake is full of all kinds of people.
The movement here soon attracted a large number of onlookers. Since there were many down-and-out scholars coming here, after hearing Zhao Jia's words, he suddenly cheered.
In the crowd, a woman wrapped in black looked at Zhao Jia who was talking and then the cheers of many down-and-out scholars, and her brows were slightly condensed.
The woman's face was covered by a black veil, and others could not see her face clearly.
"This person will be a big trouble in the future."
A little cold light shot out from the woman's eyes that looked like a falcon. She looked at the eldest princess of Chu, then at Zhao Jia, the eldest grandson of King Zhao, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but outlined a little curve.
"If both of these two died here, it might be interesting."
The murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and the woman in black quickly disappeared in the crowd.
At this time, Zhao Jia, who was talking about it, suddenly felt a little chilled when he was intuition from the battlefield.
Originally, standing next to the border town holding a sword with both hands, it seemed to have noticed it, and its eyes quickly looked at the place where the woman in black disappeared.
Unfortunately, he only saw the bustling crowd.
Zhao Jia and the border town looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
"Sir, you went over and stood with Princess Mifu, be careful."
Zhao Jia pulled Fan Zeng and Li Si up, and walked towards Mi Fu with great strides. The border town was tight and he was in a row.
Fan Zeng and Li Si were all extremely intelligent. After a brief confusion, they seemed to have thought of something, and their faces changed slightly.
"Where did you see those fallacies?"
Before Mi Fu could notice anything, she frowned and asked immediately when she saw Zhao Jia pulling the two of them towards her.
"Princess, let your guards come over, it seems unsafe here."
Zhao Jia did not answer Mi Fu's words, but instead stepped forward and lowered his voice, and said with a serious expression.
Mi Fu was a little stunned when she heard this, then curled her lips and said, "This is the reflection lake, less than ten miles away from Ying, and there are heavy troops stationed nearby. Who dares to act here?"
Zhao Jia's face was solemn and said seriously: "Just just now, I suddenly felt a sense of fear. When I was fighting with the Yan army on the battlefield, every time I felt this way, I would be in danger."
"Princess, please believe me!"
The border town also said in a deep voice: "What the young master said is right. I just felt a ray of murderous intent. Unfortunately, that ray of murderous intent is fleeting and unable to capture where it came from."
Although Mi Fu was arrogant, she immediately felt something was wrong when she saw Zhao Jia and Border Town exhorting so solemnly.
"Come!"
"Chirr!"
Almost at the same time, more than a dozen crossbow arrows shot out from the crowd, and the targets were Mi Fu and Zhao Jia.
"Be careful, young master!"
The tense Border Town reacted first, waved the scabbard in his hand and blocked Zhao Jia directly.
"careful!"
Zhao Jia rushed to Mi Fu and almost threw him to the ground, but he was shot by an arrow.
"Protect in the princess!"
Those playboys in Yingdu suddenly saw such changes and were all shocked to their faces and roared at their followers behind them.
If Mi Fu was really assassinated here, even if these dandy playboys had a huge background, they would definitely not have ended up being very good.
"Where is the guard, protect the princess!"
Xiaolan was also frightened by the sudden change, but she still pulled her throat and shouted to the distance.
"Puff!"
The crossbow arrow pierced Xiaolan's throat with the sound of breaking through the air.
"kill!"
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen men in various costumes suddenly came from the crowd with various weapons.
The target is Mi Fu and Zhao Jia.
