PS: Chapter 2 will be released in the afternoon

When Confucius received the news of the monarch's summons, Zheng and Zilu and Yan Hui, master and apprentice, had a meal in a cottage in Feiyi where guests were received. (Baidu search to force literature network to update the fastest and most stable)

This time, he was able to pass through the camp where the Ji clan besieged Feiyi and enter this "betrayed city", and it was thanks to Zilu's previous contribution to persuading the Ji clan to surrender Yangguan that Ji Sunsi agreed to let them give it a try. However, Ji Shi came up with a strategy, suggesting that after Zilu enter the city, he should find a way to see Gongshan Buju and assassinate him on the spot with his skill in martial arts! At that time, when the dragons in the city have no leader, the Ji family can take advantage of the situation to attack the city, and they will definitely be able to conquer it!

However, Zilu reproached himself, disdain to do such a thing, and refused like Confucius.

Ji Sunsi wondered. Wasn't the situation similar when Zilu helped Zhao Wuxi attack the Yanghu convoy and rescued him last time?

Zilu thought it was absurd, because Zhao Wuxi had enlightened him before and after the incident. Zilu did not promise anything to Yanghu at that time. His actions were compared by Wuxi to Cao Gui who kidnapped Duke Huan of Qi. An act of righteousness. But this time, Ji's act of letting him pretend to be a messenger and go to assassinate is a deceitful act...

"It's what the sages did!"

So Ji Sunsi had to let Confucius and his disciples enter the city without a soldier or a soldier, thinking that they probably would not be able to get out. Unexpectedly, one day later, Gongshan Buju really sent people out of the city for peace talks, claiming that he was willing to return to Ji's family, and his request was to continue to be Fei Yizai, which made Ji Sunsi overjoyed.

Yang Hu and Ji Sunsi are a life-and-death grievance, and they must kill the bureaucracy and hang his head and family mansion in order to restore Ji's shame of being overtaken by his subordinates. But Gongshan is different, as long as he is nominally attached to the Ji clan, Ji Sunsi can save face.

Ji Shi knew that he could not defeat the strong city of Feiyi. The weather was cold after entering November, and he would either retreat or suffer heavy losses. Therefore, it is better to agree to Gongshan Buju's request for the time being, to restore his strength as soon as possible, and to suppress Meng's ambition to be the head of the Three Huans.

A few days later, the thousands of tribesmen assembled by the Ji clan promised to retreat, and Gong Shan did not leave the city and made a blood oath with the Ji clan in the middle. And Shusun Zhouqiu, who had been held hostage for many days, has been released. In general, the internal rebellion in Lu has been completely subsided.

Confucius felt that his mission was complete, and planned to return to Zhongdu after a few days of rest in Feiyi, but suddenly heard that the monarch had summoned him. In a hurry, he put down the dagger and spat out the half-chewed meat.

Before Zilu could get the chariot and horse ready, Confucius went on foot to answer the call, and it was not until he trotted half a mile out of the west gate of Feiyi that Zilu and Yan Hui caught up with him by car.

Huhe Huhe after catching up. Zilu half-complained and half-jokingly said:

"I heard from the Master that when King Zhuang of Chu heard that Shen Zhou, a pedestrian, was killed by Song Guo, he stood up and ran out with a flick of his sleeves. Shusi chased him to the corridor of the bedroom before letting him put on his shoes and chased to the door of the bedroom. Waicai let him wear a sword and chased him into the car at the store in Puxu. Is the Master going to imitate him today? At the time, Chu Zi was faced with a major military event, but now it is just an ordinary summon, why be so anxious? "

Confucius climbed into the car and held onto the railing, and panted and said with a smile: "Because of the fall of the Central Capital and Waiguo, I am still to blame. Your lord orders you to call me, don't wait until you drive! Where can I wait? "

Although it was a crime to fall into the hands of thieves in the Central Capital and Waiguo under the jurisdiction of Confucius, it was a great achievement to persuade Fei Yi to surrender. So Zilu felt that Master's adventure was worth it. You see, both Ji Shi and Luhou began to look at him differently!

After three days of rushing, the three masters and apprentices arrived at Lu City in the afternoon of the same day. Confucius, who was bathing and changing his clothes, entered the newly renovated Qufu Gong Palace under the guidance of a young man.

"Dare to ask how is Doctor Liu Xiaji?"

Before entering the palace, Confucius saw that it was not Liu Xiaji who was here to welcome him, so he did not forget to take care of his old friend. But he was told. Liu Xiaji was implicated because of the robbery. Although the Marquis of Lu did not blame, but under the pressure of the Ji family, the Meng family, and the public opinion of the Chinese people, Liu Xiaji resigned as the master of ceremonies, and only the doctor's title was retained.

Confucius was silent, tidying up his clothes and walking into the gate of the public palace. He bowed every three steps, kowtowed every nine steps, and bowed like this, with a cautious and respectful look, as if there was no place for him here.

Yusi was stunned by some of his strange actions: standing, he did not stand in the middle of the door; walking, not stepping on the threshold, he seemed cautious and walked extremely slowly.

The young Yousi was a little impatient, so he turned back helplessly and said: "Sir, this is an old ceremony of Zong Zhou, and it has been gradually discontinued since the first emperor Huan... Anxious."

"This statement is too bad. Zhou was in custody of the second generation, and I was so sullen as Wenzai. I am from Zhou..."

After Confucius responded with this, it was still the same. Yousi could only roll his eyes, and went to the hall to inform Confucius that the time had come, and talked to the Marquis of Lu. He thought that Confucius was deliberately flattering in front of the monarch.

"This person is fraudulent!" Yousi was a member of the Duke clan of the State of Lu and a close associate of the Marquis of Lu, so he bluntly stated his first impression.

However, the Marquis of Lu was noncommittal: "Perhaps it is Dazhong who seems to be a fake."

When Confucius was summoned and entered the hall for an audience, the Marquis of Lu carefully looked at the tall and well-groomed man with neatly combed hair in a bun and his tendrils reaching his chest.

However, when he lifted the hem of his dark clothes and walked up the hall, he was extremely respectful and cautious, holding his breath as if he couldn't breathe. After walking down the steps, he quickly walked forward a few steps, like a bird spreading its wings. When he saw the monarch, his face immediately became solemn, his steps quickened, and he seemed to be out of breath when speaking, so he did not dare to speak loudly. After speaking, he stepped back, and after walking down the steps, his eyebrows stretched out, as if he was content, and when he returned to his position to ask Lu Hou, he returned to a respectful and uneasy look.

Every move seemed to be well-behaved, and the Marquis of Lu was very satisfied when he saw that Confucius was not arrogant as a celebrity, and treated himself extremely respectfully. But he deliberately asked if he deliberately used the old rituals of Zongzhou and Zhou, which had almost disappeared and simplified in the state of Lu. Is it true that what the Secretary said was to "flatter the monarch"?

Confucius shook his head helplessly: "In order to let the lord know that the servants serve the monarch in full accordance with the rules of Zhou Li, but others thought it was flattering, sadly, Zhou Li has not been in Lu for a long time... …”

The Marquis of Lu was quite happy, since he succeeded to the throne, no one had ever treated him with such respect, which made him feel a long-lost monarchy!

"The widow sees Mr. today, listens to your words, observes your rituals, and first understands the dignity of the feudal lords!"

When his elder brother Lu Zhaogong was in power, Confucius was already famous in Lu State Primary School, so when Kong Li was born more than 20 years ago. Duke Zhao of Lu also gave carp, but Confucius was no more than a scholar at that time. But Luhou Song, who was still a laid-back son at the time, had no ambitions and was only interested in clothes, food, and beauties all day long. I've never even thought about interacting with this person.

Guess what, the situation changed suddenly, and after a civil strife, he was supported to the position of prince. First, he was completely overpowered by the powerful Ji Pingzi, and then forced by Yang Hu, until he was rescued by Zhao Wuxi at the Five Fathers. This took a breath away.

It's different now, the Ji clan and the Meng clan are secretly hostile, the uncle Sun Zhou Qiucai escaped from the death of Feiyi, and is in a state of scattered tribes and vassals who refuse to accept. Strong rise.

Luhou usually acts a little dull, but he is not stupid, he just wants to play stupid to protect himself.

He saw a glimpse of an opportunity in this situation, but he still needed someone to assist him. Governance. Zhao Wuxi was one of the candidates, but although this person saved him, he was an outsider after all and could not be trusted.

At this moment, the news of Fei Yi's surrender came, and after seeing the name of the prime minister, he remembered the person Liu Xiaji had recommended many times before his resignation, and decisively summoned him on the pretext of being awarded a title. Confucius.

After seeing the real person, Marquis Lu was very fond of Confucius, and felt that he was indeed a talent. A great talent who can make himself revive the monarchy of Lu Kingdom when Sanhuan is weak!

So Luhou began to inquire about politics.

"Lonely, the state of Lubang has suffered many misfortunes. Now there is a strong state of Qi in the north and a state of Wu in the south. The two states of Dongyi, Ju and Zhu have not been destroyed, but the robbers are rampant in the interior. Seeking a private house, he refuses to be loyal to the public. The current state of Lu is like the rebuilt Lu Palace, where everything is abolished. The power of the 'Huaiyi barbarians, as well as the Nanyi people, do not obey, do not dare to promise' reappears, please teach me sir!"

After speaking, he bowed earnestly to Confucius.

Confucius hurriedly avoided the banquet and returned the courtesy, and replied, "It should be governed by courtesy."

Luhou thought it was too simple and asked why.

Confucius said: "Lu is the kingdom of the Duke of Zhou, and to exercise the government of Duke Zhou, it is natural to restrain oneself and restore rituals. Just like Jin and Zheng, the Dao is governed by the rule, and the Qi is punished. To govern Dao. If Dao is virtuous and tidy by etiquette, the people will be ashamed and know the rules. What are these rules?

"Good! Faith is like the ruler but not the ruler, the minister but not the minister, the father is not the father, the son is not the son, although there are grains, the few people get it and eat it?"

Lu Hou's eyes brightened, but he felt that he was quite different from his elder brother Lu Zhaogong and was a qualified monarch. However, the Sanhuan and his like did not have the appearance of a minister at all. First, they openly abolished the monarch and divided the government into four quarters. Then they danced in the court. They even openly fought with their elder brother Lu Zhaogong, and chased the monarch with their ministers. Died abroad, and the size and location of the tomb were moved to one side separately at the time of burial...

What an arrogance this is! It's just like what Confucius said, "It is tolerable, but it is unbearable"!

He began to cite Zhongdu as an example: "The widow listened to Dr. Liu Xiaji talking about your governance in Zhongdu. There is a festival for health preservation and death in the local area. So men and women are not painted, there are no traces on the road, and the utensils are not carved. A year after this system was implemented, some cities in the west of Cao and Wei have followed suit... Is there such a thing?"

Speaking of this, Confucius hesitated for a moment and then said: "Yes, but the rule of the subordinates is also flawed, and it is still far from a well-off. Because of the sacrifice of military equipment, there are fewer soldiers in the city, and the robbers have the opportunity to plunder. The people of Zhongdu suffer. If the emperor does not blame the ministers, and the ministers are willing to continue to slaughter the central capital, it will only take three years. On the one hand, Zhou Li will be able to flourish and become an Eastern Zongzhou, and the shortcomings of the past will also be Make up for it all!"

After this incident, Confucius also realized the importance of military equipment. He was not someone who didn't know how to fight. If he wanted to do it, it would be possible to make the armor of the four borders strong enough to defend against the enemy.

However, the Marquis of Lu shook his head with a smile: "Zhongdu is too small, what do you think if the few people learn your governance methods to govern the country of Lu?"

Confucius was shocked, as if he realized something. When he bowed and raised his head again, he suddenly became high-spirited, and he lost his usual modesty. When he spoke, his tendrils trembled slightly:

"If you use the government of ministers, you can govern the world, but it's more than just the state of Lu!"

...

On Linqiu's side, Zhao Wuxi also started the aftermath of the war after learning that Feiyi rebels had returned to service.

He dismissed the conscripted townspeople before the Lu Nationality New Year, let them each return to their homes, and also rewarded some of the food Zhang Mengtan bought from Taoyi, enough for a family to eat for half a month, and this time Next year, the tax for military members will be halved~lightnovelpub.net~ There are only less than a thousand recruited soldiers who take turns to rest and train.

He also announced to Sanyi: "If there are dead officials who will settle the city, reward their descendants; if there are orphans and widows, show mercy to them!"

At the same time, he also asked the craftsmen to prepare the preliminary hemp paper trial production after collecting the materials.

At this time, Ji Qiao's old problem was committed again, and he was in charge of Linqiu and even the entire force "living within their means", often making "budget" day and night, and he went to the craftsman's workshop. After calculating the account, a financial alarm was sounded! (To be continued.)
