Chapter 007
Although Confucianism had been respected for two or three hundred years in the late Han Dynasty, there was no saying that he would repay his grievances with kindness. Of course, there was no saying that he would repay his grievances with kindness. At most, those who gave kindness did not seek repaid, and at most those who received kindness were also calm, but there would never be such a strange theory as repaying kindness with grievances.
As a child of a noble family in Wujun, Lu Kang was appointed as the prefect of Lujiang and was criticized in person to repay his kindness with grievances. A seemingly light sentence is an unbearable accusation. Once the charge is confirmed, his reputation in the scholarly forest will definitely be damaged. For him, reputation is like the feather of a bird and cannot be damaged at all.
Lu Kang lowered his face and couldn't suppress his anger. Although he was a child of a noble family, he was not a humble gentleman. On the contrary, he was also a straightforward old man with a hot temper. If not, he would not have put his disdain for Sun Jian and his son on his face. Whether it was from the relationship between the same county or the fact that Sun Jian was kind to the Lu family, he should have reluctantly seen Sun Ce, rather than letting the chief clerk come forward to receive him.
"It turns out that Jun Sun came to raise an army to ask for punishment." Lu Kang said in a deep voice: "How can Jun Sun hope I can repay me? If it is money, even though I don't have much savings, I can still take out some. If it is anything else, I am afraid that it will be difficult to obey. The state's public service will not dare to seek personal gain."
Sun Ce smiled. Lu Kang's words seem to be weak, but in fact they are hard. Sun Jian saves Lu Kang's nephew, which is a business matter. If he uses this to threaten Lu Kang to seek benefits, it is for personal gain. Lu Kang can not only refuse, but also justify it. When it is spread, not only will no one say that he repays kindness with grievances, but he will say that he has clear public and private interests.
"Mingfu Jun is too worried." Sun Ce stood up. "Although my Sun family is not a noble family, they have a little savings and don't have to worry about food and clothing. I want to meet the Mingfu Jun, but I just want to ask for some knowledge. Now it seems that I am afraid that it is a waste of time to ask for fish in the wood." He slowly walked to the door, turned around and looked at Lu Kang with a blue face. "Mingfu Jun, Dong Zhuo, is a leader in the world, and his father is the first to lead the battlefield. Although he is young and has no knowledge, he still wants to serve in Nanyang. After the famous family of the Mingfu Jun, who is 2,000 stones, is highly valued by the late emperor, he should do some practical things to serve the court, rather than sit down and talk about it, blow the life of the court, and waste the court's salary in vain."
Sun Ce slowly looked around for a while and said quietly: "This prefect's main hall is a national public instrument, not the private residence of the Mingfu Jun, nor the Lu family temple."
Didn’t you say that the state’s public service cannot seek personal gain? What’s the point of using the prefect’s teaching? If it’s a county school, it has its own county school place. If it’s a private school, please go to your Lu family’s monastery. Don’t be in the prefect’s mansion, at least not in the main hall, even if it’s taken to the backyard where your family lives.
Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce and was surprised. With his own way, he would treat him. Sun Ce's reaction was too fast and too ruthless. Lu Kang just said righteously that the state's public service could not seek personal gain. Sun Ce immediately retorted, hitting the point, and Lu Kang could not respond at all.
Sun Ce looked at Lu Kang who was embarrassed and felt relieved. When it comes to putting a hat on, you Confucian scholars are not necessarily better than me. There are too many rules for Confucianism to slap in the face, so there is no need to find flaws to try it out. Whoever is too rare to quote the classics from you, either don’t beat it, or you will pick the key points if you want to beat it.
"Mr. Sun is such a bad word." A tender voice came from behind the screen behind Lu Kang. Sun Ce turned his head and saw two children standing next to the screen, one about ten years old and the other only four or five years old. The big one had clear eyes, but the small one was so angry that his little face turned red. His eyes were staring at Sun Ce, hoping to turn him into ashes.
Sun Ce blinked. "Who are you?"
The older boy bowed and bowed to salute. "Wujun Lu discusses, dare to ask Mr. Sun for advice."
Lu Yi? Sun Ce suddenly realized that this pink little kid was Lu Xun, the later governor of Lu. Well, it seems that he is still his son-in-law, but he has not married a wife yet, and his daughter is not even settled. It seems that Lu Xun has to wait for a few more years. He is Lu Xun, and the other one is probably Lu Kang's youngest son Lu Ji? This person seems to be a master of Yixue. Of course, he is not a family now, he can only play houses.
"Do you know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is?" Sun Ce would not give up the initiative just because Lu Xun was young and immediately counterattacked.
Lu Yi blushed and shook his head quickly. "No, I mean, my uncle gave lectures in the prefect's office for Guolun, and it is not a private matter."
"Is that true?" Sun Ce blinked, looking a little hesitant.
"Although I am young, I dare not speak nonsense. You are all officials in the prefect's mansion. Mr. Sun can verify them one by one."
Sun Ce almost laughed out loud. He was a little bitch and checked one by one. Do I look so stupid? Wouldn't that be an enemy of everyone? Sorry, I just came to cause trouble for Lu Kang and didn't want to expand it. I'm not afraid of trouble, but I don't want to be troubled. I'm very busy with your future father-in-law and don't have time to quarrel with you, a little kid.
"You say yes, that's it." Sun Ce turned around and walked, took two steps, stopped again, walked to Lu Yi's face, squatted down, and squeezed Lu Yi's little face. "Are you hiding behind the screen, listening?"
Lu Yi nodded awkwardly, a little frustrated. If Sun Ce said that he was not from the prefect's house, Lu Kang would still use public interest in personal gain, he would really have no way to explain. He said, "My father died early, and I would like to ask the Meng uncle to stay with him."
Sun Ce laughed. "You misunderstood. I just said that you should learn some real knowledge of economics and saving the world, make achievements in the future, and broaden your doorsteps. Don't roll in this broken slip of slips and be an old worm for searching for chapters and sentences. You waste your youth and misleading people. Do you understand?"
Lu Yi was stunned for a moment, thinking that Sun Ce was justified, and nodded subconsciously to agree. Then he realized that Sun Ce's words were a pitfall. Didn't this say that Uncle Lu Kang was an old sycam who searched for the sentence? He shook his head quickly, shook it twice, and felt it was inappropriate. He changed to nodded again, nodded twice, and felt it was inappropriate, so he was in a dilemma, so he had to froze there and look at Sun Ce with a blushing face.
Sun Ce couldn't help laughing and left.
Zhou Yu hurriedly bowed to Lu Kang and others, and said with a forced smile: "Mr. Mingfu, the young man Bofu is angry and has no malice. In fact, we have something to discuss with Mingfu. We are going to Nanyang to join the army. Bofu said that the man is loyal and righteous, and may send people to Beijing to pay tribute. Maybe we can escort along the way to take care of one or two."
Lu Kang was very surprised. "You really want to go to Nanyang?"
Zhou Yu nodded vigorously. "In front of the Mingfu Lord, Yu dared not speak nonsense."
Lu Kang stared at Zhou Yu for a while. "I was about to send someone to plan. If I could accompany you, I would have more guarantees along the way. Gongjin, I am very pleased that you can have this heart. I have a few words to say to you, and I hope you can consider it."
Zhou Yu thought for a moment and bowed to accept the order. "The king of Mingfu has an order, but he will not refuse."
Lu Kang took Zhou Yu's arm and whispered: "General Sun is the bravest of the three armies. Sun Bofu should be not weak. If you can walk with him, it would be a great help. Unfortunately, Dong Zhuo is very afraid of General Sun. If he goes to Chang'an, it is afraid that it will be difficult to protect him. Gongjin, your Zhou family has been in a long and prosperous position. You are the ninth minister of the uncle. Have you ever thought of going to Chang'an, staying at the emperor's side and protecting the emperor?"
Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment. "I'll go back and discuss with my brother."
Lu Kang sighed, feeling worried. "It would be a pity if you can't serve the country with such talents."
