PS: The second chapter will be sent in the afternoon

When Confucius received the news of the king's summons, he and Zilu and Yan Hui had a meal in a house where Feiyi received guests.

This time, they were able to enter this "rebel city" through the camp of the Ji clan besieging Feiyi, and it was only because of Zilu's previous efforts to persuade the Ji clan to surrender to Yangguan that Ji Sunsi agreed to let them try. But the Ji clan took advantage of this to come up with a plan, proposing to let Zilu find a way to see Gongshan Bufu after entering the city, and assassinate him on the spot with his skill in attack! When the time comes, the dragons in the city will have no leader, and the Ji clan will be able to take advantage of the situation to attack the city, and they will be able to conquer it!

However, Zilu made a promise and disdained to do such things, and like Confucius, he flatly refused.

Ji Sunsi wondered, wasn't the situation similar when Zilu helped Zhao Wuxian attack the Yanghu convoy and rescue himself last time?

Zilu felt that it was a big mistake, because Zhao Wuxian had enlightened him before and after that incident, Zilu had not promised anything to Yanghu at that time, and his actions were compared to Cao Di who kidnapped Duke Qi Huan, which was a righteous act for Lu Guo. But this time, Ji asked him to pretend to be a messenger and go to assassinate him, but it was a deception......

"It's really not what Shi Fei Shi did!"

So Ji Sunsi had to let Confucius's master and apprentice enter the city without a single soldier, thinking that they probably couldn't get out. Unexpectedly, a day later, Gongshan Buwu really sent people out of the city to negotiate peace, claiming that he was willing to return to the Ji family, and asked to continue to be Fei Yizai, which made Ji Sunsi overjoyed.

Yang Hu and Ji Sunsi are a life-and-death grudge, and this official must be killed, and his head and family mansion must be hung in order to restore the shame of the Ji family being overridden by his courtiers. But Gongshan is not ruthless, but it is different, as long as he nominally belongs to the Ji family, he can let Ji Sunsi save face.

The Ji clan knew that he would not be able to defeat Fei Yi Jiancheng. As soon as the weather is cold in November, the time will either be withdrawn. Either heavy losses. Therefore, it is better to agree to Gongshan's request for the time being and restore his strength as soon as possible. It is important to suppress the ambition of the Meng clan to covet the head of the three huans.

A few days later, the thousands of soldiers of the Ji clan promised to retreat, and Gongshan did not go out of the city to make a bloody oath with the Ji clan in the middle ground. The uncle and grandson state feud who had been held hostage for many days had been released, and in general, the internal rebellion in Lu had completely subsided.

Confucius felt that his mission had been accomplished, and planned to return to Zhongdu after resting for a few days in Feiyi, but suddenly heard that the king had summoned him, so he hurriedly put down the dagger and spit out the meat that had just been chewed half.

Don't wait for the road to drive the car and horses. Confucius went to answer the call on foot, and it was not until he trotted all the way out of Feiyi's west gate that Zilu and Yan Hui caught up with him in their cars.

After catching up, Zilu said half-grumbling and half-jokingly:

"I heard from my master, when the king of Chuzhuang heard that the pedestrian Shenzhou was killed by the Song State, he stood up and ran out as soon as he flicked his sleeves, and chased him to the road of the dormitory to let him put on his shoes, chased him to the door of the dormitory to let him wear a sword, and chased him to the market of Puxu before he got into the car. Is the Master imitating Him today? Back then, Chu Zi was faced with military affairs. Now it's just an ordinary summons, so why be so anxious? ”

Confucius climbed into the car and held on to the rails, and said with a breathless smile: "Because of the fall of Guo in the Central Capital, I am still waiting for sin." The king's order is called, and he will not be driven! Where can you wait? ”

Although it is a sin that the Zhongdu Waiguo under the jurisdiction of Kong Qiu fell into a group of thieves. But persuading Fei Yi to return to obedience is a great achievement, or a great achievement. So Zilu thinks. Master's adventure was worth it, you see. Ji and Lu Hou began to look at him differently!

After three days of rapid travel, the master and apprentice arrived in Lucheng, and in the afternoon of the same day, Confucius, who was bathing and changing clothes, entered the newly renovated Qufu Gong Palace under the guidance of a young Yousi.

"Dare to ask how Dr. Liu Xia Ji is?"

Before entering the palace, Kong Qiu saw that it was not Liu Xia Ji who came to greet him, so he didn't forget to care about his old friend. But he was told that Liu Xiaji was implicated in the theft. Although Lu Hou did not blame, under the pressure of public opinion from the Ji family, the Meng family, and the Chinese people, Liu Xia Ji resigned as the master of ceremonies, and only the lord of the doctor was retained.

Kong Qiu was silent, tidied up his clothes and walked into the gate of the palace, he bowed in three steps, bowed in nine steps, and bowed, looking cautious and respectful, as if there was no place for him here.

Some of his strange actions left Ariji dumbfounded: Stand, he doesn't stand in the middle of the door; walked, did not step on the threshold, appeared cautious, and walked extremely slowly.

The young Youji was a little impatient, so he reluctantly turned around and said, "Sir, this is all the old rites of Zong Zhou, and it has gradually been used since the first Jun Huan Gong...... Just let me in as quickly as I can, and you'll have to wait in a hurry. ”

"This is a bad statement, Zhou Jian is in the second generation, depressed and depressed, I follow Zhou ......"

After Confucius responded with this remark, he remained the same, and Youji could only roll his eyes, and when he went to the court to inform Confucius that he had arrived, he talked to Lu Hou about it, and he thought that Confucius was deliberately flattering in front of the king.

"This person is a hypocrisy!" Yousi is a member of the Lu family and a close confidant of Lu Hou, so he bluntly said his first impression.

Lu Hou was noncommittal: "Maybe it's a great loyalty." ”

When Kong Qiu was summoned and entered the hall to meet him, Lu Hou carefully looked at this tall and famous man with his hair in a bun and neatly dressed in court clothes, tendrils and chest length.

But when he lifted the hem of his deep coat and walked up to the hall, he was so respectful and cautious that he held his breath as if he didn't dare to breathe; After walking the steps, he quickly took a few steps forward, like a bird spreading its wings. When he saw the king, his face immediately became solemn, his steps quickened, and he seemed to be lacking in breath when he spoke, and he did not dare to speak loudly. After finishing speaking, he retreated, and after walking down the steps, his eyebrows stretched out, as if he was at ease, and when he returned to his position to say hello to Lu Hou, he returned to his respectful and uneasy appearance.

Every move seemed to have rules and regulations, and Lu Hou was very satisfied when he saw that Confucius was not arrogant as a celebrity, and treated himself extremely respectfully. But he deliberately asked if the old rites of Zongzhou that he deliberately used in the Lu country, which had almost disappeared and simplified, were really as Rusi said to "flatter the monarch"?

Kong Qiu shook his head helplessly: "So that the king knows that the subordinates serve the monarch in full accordance with the regulations of Zhou Li, but others think this is flattering, and cry out, Zhou Li is not good Lu Guo for a long time......"

Lu Hou was quite happy, starting from his succession. No one had ever treated him with such respect, and it made him feel a kind of monarchical majesty that he had not seen in a long time!

"See you today, sir. Listen to your words and watch your courtesy. I know the dignity of the princes! ”

When his brother Lu Zhaogong was in power, Confucius was already famous in Lu State, so when Kong carp was born more than 20 years ago, Lu Zhaogong also gave carp, and Confucius was just a scholar at that time. But Lu Hou Song, who was still a leisurely son at the time, had no ambitions, and was only interested in clothes, food, and beauties all day long, and he never had the intention of dealing with this person.

After that, the situation changed abruptly, after a civil strife. He was propped up to the position of prince. was first completely overpowered by the powerful Ji Pingzi, and then forced by Yang Hu, until he was rescued by Zhao Wuxian in the Five Fathers' Qu, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Now it's different, the Ji clan and the Meng clan are secretly hostile, and the uncle and grandson Zhou Qiu escaped from Fei Yi's death, and they are in a state of scattered tribes and retainers who are not satisfied, outside the three Huan. There is also the strong rise of the Jin man Zhao Wuxian in the west.

Lu Hou usually behaves a little dull, but he is not stupid, he just wants to pretend to be stupid to protect himself.

He saw a glimpse of opportunity in the situation, but he still needed someone to help. Policy. Zhao Wuxian was one of the candidates, but although this person saved him, he was an outsider after all. Not trusted.

At this moment, the news of Fei Yi's return came. After seeing the name of the first meritorious officer, he remembered the person Liu Xiaji had recommended many times before his resignation. He decisively summoned Confucius under the pretext of being knighted.

After seeing the real person, Lu Hou was very interested in Confucius's set, and felt that this was really a talent, who could revive the monarchy of Lu when Sanhuan was weak!

So Lu Hou began to ask about politics.

Now there is a strong Qi in the north, the country of Dawu in the south, the two states of Yiju and Yi are not destroyed, and the internal is rampant with thieves, Yanghu occupies the irrigation city, and Sanhuan only seeks a private room, and refuses to be loyal to the country. Today's Lu country is like the rebuilt Lu Palace, the new deal is to be revived, the widow intends to cheer up, dare to ask how to govern Lu, in order to restore the strength of the country of a thousand times when the Duke of Lu, so that the scene of 'Huaiyi barbarians, and Bi Nanyi, do not obey, do not dare to promise' The scene is reproduced, please teach Mr. Lonely! ”

After speaking, he bowed to Confucius seriously.

Confucius hurriedly avoided the table and returned the courtesy, replying: "It should be governed by etiquette." ”

Lu Hou thought it was too simple, and asked the reason again.

Confucius said: "Lu is the country of the Duke of Zhou, and it is natural to practice the government of the Duke of Zhou, and it is natural to deny oneself and repentance." Like Jin and Zheng, the Tao is governed by government, and the people are exempted from shame, which cannot be called governing the Tao. If the way is virtuous and the way is courteous, the people are ashamed and know the rules. What is this rule? It is the king, the minister, the father, the son! ”

"Wonderful! Faith is like a king is not a king, a minister is not a minister, a father is not a father, a son is not a son, although there is corn, the widow has to eat everything? ”

Lu Hou's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he felt that he was quite different from his brother Lu Zhaogong, and he was a qualified monarch. But the likes of Sanhuan did not have the appearance of a courtier at all, first openly abolished the monarch, and then divided the office, and then danced in the court, and even openly fought against his brother Lu Zhaogong, and chased the king with his ministers, so that he died abroad, and the specifications and location of the tomb were moved aside separately when he was buried......

What a transgression! It's just like what Kong Qiu said, "It's tolerable, it's unbearable"!

He began to cite Zhongdu as an example: "The widow listened to Dr. Liu Xiaji say that the country is governed in the central capital, and there is a festival of health and death in the local area, and the people eat different foods according to their age, and the soldiers hold different positions according to their ability. A year after the implementation of such a system, some of the capitals of Cao and Wei in the West followed suit...... Is there such a thing? ”

Speaking of this, Confucius hesitated for a moment and said: "Yes, but the rule of the subordinates is also flawed, and it is still far from being well-off." Because of the sacrifice of armaments, there were fewer soldiers, which also gave the thieves the opportunity to loot and suffer the people of Zhongdu. If the king does not blame the ministers, and the ministers are willing to continue to be the rulers of the central capital, it only takes three years, on the one hand, it can make Zhou Li great and become an oriental Zongzhou, and the past defects will be made up one by one! ”

After this incident, Kong Qiu also realized the importance of armament, he was not a person who did not know soldiers, if he wanted to do it, it would be possible to make the armor of the four realms enough to resist the enemy.

Lu Hou smiled and shook his head: "Zhongdu is too small, if the widow learns your governance methods to govern the Lu country, what do you think?" ”

Confucius was excited, as if he realized something, and when he bowed down and raised his head again, he suddenly became high-spirited, without the slightest humility of the past, and his tendrils were trembling slightly when he spoke:

"If you use the government of the ministers, you can rule the world even if you can, not to mention the country of Lu!"

……

On the side of Xiaqiu, after Zhao Wuxian learned that the Feiyi rebels had been subdued, he also began to deal with the aftermath of the war.

He disbanded the conscripted people before the New Year of the Lu State, let them return to their homes, and also rewarded some of the grain that Zhang Mengtan bought from Taoyi, which was enough for a family to eat for half a month, and the tax of the soldiers next year was halved. There are only less than 1,000 recruited soldiers left, taking turns to rest and train.

He also announced to Sanyi: "Those who have died in the business of Andu Yi will be rewarded with their descendants; There are widows and orphans, be compassionate!"

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

At this time, Ji Qiao's old problem was committed again, he was responsible for "living within his means" in Liqiu and even the entire force, and he often ran to the craftsman's workshop day and night to make a "budget", and his words were fierce, and he calculated the accounts for Zhao Wuxian with an abacus, and sounded a financial alarm!
