"Cut! Isn't it just an old man with a hole missing? What's so great about the Master? From ancient times to the present, only cars avoid the city, how can there be a reason for the city to avoid the car?" Confucius was stunned for a moment when he heard this, this crooked reasoning has always been his own talk, when it was the child's turn to quibble, so he got out of the carriage and asked, "Hey, little ghost, what's your name?" The grade is still so young, so I learned to quibble, and when I am older, I can pay it back? ”

"My name is Xiang Lu, do you know? If you want to go over, you have to be reasonable, it's not okay to rely on the old and sell the old when the grade is older, there is always a director for everything! ”

"Little friend, your mouth is very powerful, so Master I want to test you, and if I answer correctly, Master Ben will take a detour, what's the matter?"

"If you have something to say, talk about it, let it go if you have a fart!"

"Why don't there be stones on the mountain? Why are there no fish in the water? What car has no wheels?—— "This old man Kong has nothing to do all day long, and he likes to say a lot of useless words to brainwash him, and he doesn't think about it at all, is it useful to say so many problems to the society and the people in the world?"

"Listen, old man—there are no stones on the dirt hills; There are no fish in the well water; The sedan chair carried by a person has no wheels - "Confucius asked more than a dozen questions in a row, but he couldn't help but stump the child.

Zigong sighed, this master is still old, and now he has been reduced to only playing word games, saying useless empty words, can these things be eaten as food? Can it make the country rich and the people strong? Is Iron Hoof Mixed Up Killing Decisive? No! Therefore, so many princes and generals don't use him, and they may dislike him for asking all useless knowledge!

I think that at the beginning, Confucius was the prime minister of the Lu country, at that time for the heaven and earth, for the people, never had the patience to say these flowery words, it seems that time has passed, and the environment will also change a person's ambition! The years have made a hero disappear like this!

"Now it's my turn to test you for your old age—why do geese and ducks float on the water? Why are wild geese and cranes good at chirping?——"

"Geese and ducks float on the water because their feet are square; The wild geese and cranes are good at chirping because their necks are long—" Confucius replied without thinking about it, and the answer was all wrong! As a Confucian, who specializes in this knowledge, he got it wrong!

Mo Zhai always felt that it was inappropriate for Confucius to do this. This Mo Zhai is a poor dick, with a carpenter job, Confucius met him when he traveled around the world, and saw that this poor dick silk has the heart to serve the world and the people, so he pulled him by the way and pulled him to become a disciple.

This Mo Zhai is ambitious, although he is still a poor dick, but his mind is both strong and far-reaching, seeing that Confucius is not doing his job, he talks about this chicken every day, duck or something, and he doesn't talk about governing the country and leveling the world, I don't know if he is old and confused, or use the money of the disciples to make some strange things to fool everyone to earn silver, and now the price is dropped to only understand and guess the mystery with children, and guess wrong, it is really cheap!

From this moment on, I had the determination to leave Confucianism! What he wants to go to is the Mo family, advocating both love, all living beings, resentment and equality, what a lofty ideal! He learned from Confucius how to recruit disciples widely, almost no money, and disciples all over the world, solving the problem of the high cost of recruiting disciples in the Mo family, and he can also be like Confucianism, where disciples are everywhere, and a lot of them are grabbed!

Later, this Mo Zhai did become a generation of Mo family giants, and his protégés were all over the world, and they responded to every call, all of which were sideways!

"That's not right! Is it because their feet are square that fish and turtles can float on the surface of the water? Frogs are good at chirping, do they have long necks?——" The child asked Confucius with some confidence: "May I ask you, sir, judging things by facts, just like the current situation, this treasure is building a city by itself, since ancient times, should the city give way to the car, or the car should give way to the city?" ”

Zigong roared angrily: "You child, what are you talking about here, do you know whose car this is?" Tell you, this is Confucius's car! "Children are not afraid, aren't they just masters! There was something remarkable, and they continued to build their "city" with stones.

Confucius answered wrongly, and it was not good to lose face, so he boasted to himself: "It's not that the old man boasts, I know everything from astronomy to geography." ”

The child heard the Master say, "Astronomy and geography know everything." Then I ask you, how many eyebrows do you have? It's still simple, but the more complicated ones haven't asked you yet, and you'd be stupid if you asked how many hairs you have! ”

Confucius said: "Master Ben is not wrong, this does not belong to astronomy, nor geography, and this eyebrow itself cannot be seen, how can we know how many roots?" It's not easy to count! ”

The child had an idea, and then asked: "It seems that Master, your old man only knows the four words "astronomy" and "geography", and I don't know anything else, what is the use of these four words, just say astronomy, I can't see it with my eyebrows, and the stars in the sky can be seen, which also belongs to astronomy. ”

"The stars in the sky are so vast and so numerous that you can count them?" Confucius said embarrassedly. The child smiled and said: "Ah, you always think that this sky full of stars is too many to count, well, there is only one sun, and it also belongs to the astronomical range you know, the sun is like an ice tray in the morning, and the jade ring is in the middle of the day, when is it close to us?" When will it be far away from us? ”

Confucius thought for a long time and muttered, "This, this—I really don't know how to measure this distance, I really don't understand." Children, you are a prodigy, this is really not a cover! I hope to give me a lot of advice in the future. ”

When the child heard the master say this, he replied, "I don't dare to give this advice, I didn't see that I am busy now, and we will have a meeting later." At this time, the disciples were all shouting, "Master, what kind of time are we wasting here with this kid, let's go quickly!" In a hurry! ”

Confucius had to bow to the child: "Little friend, we will have a meeting later!" "I thought to myself, I really haven't studied this knowledge properly! What's the use of these things, as Zigong said, don't you just be able to eat some of these things? When did the price drop to this share? He then ordered the driver to turn around and make a detour.

Confucius admired this child's knowledge, although he knew something useless, and even he couldn't argue with him, so he had to give up his hand and say, "The afterlife is terrible!" The afterlife is terrifying!" After saying that, Confucius drove the car and took a detour. Later generations used this to prove that Confucius was studious and not ashamed to ask questions, showing Confucius's high style and bright temperament, but everyone knows that Confucius himself is also a little condensed, what is the use of such knowledge? Can it be used to govern the country? Or can it be eaten with mixed rice?

But I don't know this story, but from another side, I let future generations see the divine consciousness of the cultural governance of Chu State Avenue! I also understand why Confucius traveled thousands of miles to Chu and did not stay in Chu in the end.

Besides, since Confucius left the Lu State, in the autumn of the third year of Lu Aigong (492 BC), Ji Huanzi went out to inspect, and when he came to the south gate, he saw that the city wall was decadent, the city gate was also dilapidated, and the people who came and went were all yellow and thin. And this place is the place where Lu Dinggong invited him to accept so many beauties and horses from the Qi Kingdom.

He couldn't help but think of the time when Confucius was in politics, and it was really a thriving scene at that time!
