Chapter 543: Gong Que
PS: Recommend this historical text: "A World of Wealth", a very good Song Dynasty farming text, and I hope you will support it. At the same time, I would like to thank the book friend Clownfish, who is gentle, kind and pure, and has become the helmsman of this book! Tomorrow's update will still be a little later.

Looking sideways at the two sides of the tall Lu Palace, Kong Qiu was a little stunned.
He was a native of Shenyi, and when he was sensible, his father was dead, and he only knew that he was a strong man, and he held the city gate in his hand during the attack and defense of Fuyang, and made great contributions. When he became an adult, his mother, who had been raised with hard work, died, and then Kong Qiu sent his mother's coffin to Fangshan to be buried with his father, and then he moved to Qufu as a soldier with a hemp belt of filial piety.
When he first came to Qufu, Kong Qiu was just an inconspicuous countryman, the only conspicuous thing was that he was nine feet six inches tall, and people called him "Changren", and felt strange about it, until he heard that he was the son of Shu Liang Su, and then he suddenly realized.
"It turned out to be the son of the Hercules, no wonder."
I still remember that it was more than thirty years ago, when the Ji family invited scholars to a banquet, and Kong Qiu went with him, but he met a big man who was also nine feet tall at the door, and his unruly eyes looked him up and down.
"I heard that there is a tall taxi like me in Qufu recently, it turns out to be you? I don't know how you can do it, come and come, compare your strength with me, if you can win, I will let you in! "His name is Yang Hu, he is the eagle dog of the Ji family, his attitude is full of disdain, and Kong Qiu also glimpsed the shadow of the disobedient in him.
He chose to refuse: "Qiu only likes the way of the bean, he doesn't like to fight to win, and he is even more unwilling to compete with others." That's a bit of a shame. Many years later, he still relied on his great strength to defeat the patriotic light heroes. Let Zilu convince him.
Yang Hu frowned at that time, eventually. He stretched out his hand to stop Kong Qiu and turned Kong Qiu away: "The Ji family is inviting a well-known scholar, what are you, you are also qualified to enter, go back!" Go back and eat chaff and cloudy wine! β
The sound of silk and bamboo, singing and dancing, and the staggered sound of the Ji family's mansion were endless, but Kong Qiu, who was separated by a wall, could only leave in a sneering manner. He didn't show much joy and sorrow during the whole process, until he passed through the Lu Palace Gate alone hungry. He looked up for a long, long time.
At that time, not to mention the Lu Palace Building, even if it was the Sanhuan Mansion, it was also unattainable for him.
The crowd persuaded him that it would be better to follow his father's example and join Sanhuan's army as a samurai, and he was known for his strength, but was rejected by Kongqiu. Fortunately, he still has some outstanding points, and at the age of fifteen, he is interested in learning, and he has been a tireless learner ever since. When entering and leaving the Lu Tai Temple to learn the historical sites and rules and regulations of the Lu country, I asked others about everything.
At first, everyone was impatient, but after a few years, everything happened. It was the turn of others to ask Kongqiu......
As his fame grew, so did Kongqiu's livelihood, and he used to work as a planner under the Ji family. Accurate management statistics; He also served as a servant, so that the cattle he shepherded multiplied. As a result, he was appreciated by the monarch and promoted to the position of the young secretary of the imperial court.
It's time. When his son was born, the monarch even gave him a carp, and Kong Qiu was overjoyed, so he named it Kong Carp.
However, Kong Qiu also found that Lu Que was really a little dilapidated and old, and the foundation was unstable, a little crumbling, Sanhuan divided the office, and the Ji family danced in the court, which made Kong Qiu grit his teeth and said: "It's bearable, it's unbearable!" β
That's right, even Lu Zhaogong can't bear it anymore.
Shao Sikong is the position of sergeant, this is the highest position that Kong Qiu has achieved in the Lu State, although he only served for a few days, he encountered the failure of Lu Zhaogong's coup d'Γ©tat, and was expelled by Ji Pingzi. Although everyone said that Lu Zhaogong was an ignorant and arrogant king, in the eyes of Kongqiu, he was a courteous to himself, and funded himself to go to the Chengzhou Guardian Room to study from Lao Tzu.
This time he "stood on the wrong team", so that after Kong Qiu returned to Lu, he was left aside by Ji Pingzi and ignored him, and even Meng, who had taken him as his teacher, was extremely cold to him.
The two sides of the Lu Palace seem to be far away from Kongqiu, and his return to the temple has become far away, so he can only focus on opening a private school, with more and more disciples, and his relationship with his rival Shao Zhengmao is also getting bigger and bigger.
Things in the world are really wonderful, but it was Yang Hu, who treated him rudely back then, that gave Kong Qiu the opportunity to come out again. After that, the situation in the court of the Lu State changed, Zhao Wuxian entered Lu strongly, Yanghu fell, Sanhuan returned to power, and Kong Qiu also returned to this palace again because of the merit of overthrowing Yanghu and persuading Feiyi to surrender.
This time, he entered as a junior uncle.
He still remembered the first time: when he entered the public gate, he bowed his head, cautiously and respectfully, as if he would not be allowed to go in straight. When standing, not in the middle of the door; When walking, don't step on the threshold. When he passed the throne, his face was solemn and serious, his steps were cautious, and he spoke as if he was lacking in qi. When he was called, he walked up to the hall with his shirt on his shoulder, bowed his head and bowed, cautiously and respectfully, holding his breath as if he did not dare to breathe. When he exited, he went down a step and his face relaxed, showing a relaxed appearance. After descending the steps, he walked briskly, moving as briskly as a bird spreading its wings. When he returned to his position, he had to continue to act respectful and uneasy.
Sanhuan was rude, and he didn't think so, and Shao Zhengmao laughed at him even more flatteringly.
Kong Qiu could only sigh: "The gentleman is polite, and people think it is ...... to be flattering" He decided to re-implement this correct etiquette in the country of forgetting the tradition, and reshape the broken etiquette.
The grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates, others think that this is Zilu's character, but they don't know that Kong Qiu is the same.
In the face of Lu Zhaogong's younger brother Lu Hou Song, Kong Qiu decided to devote himself to assisting, he also moved the tomb, respected the monarchy, step by step, he has been trying to move the ideal country to reality, so that Lu country became the "Eastern Zhou".
Lu Hou Song still has a bit of enterprising spirit, but he fully supports him, from the lower doctor to the upper doctor, from the small sect uncle to the big sect uncle, and finally is the auxiliary minister of the acting ruling function, Kong Qiu is now standing under the palace, and he can stand up to the sky and the earth, his position. Second only to Sanhuan!
But the strange voices never stopped, and they became more and more ridiculed. Especially when Kong Qiu was full of interest and proposed the "Fallen Four Capitals" that he had planned for a long time.
"The home does not hide armor. There is no city of pheasants, and the ancient system is also. There are four countries in Lu today that have exceeded the system, please lose them all! β
"Fallen four? If Yiyi and Yiyi have fallen, which other city can be used to guard against the people of Qi? Fei Yi has fallen, is there still a capital in the east of Lu that can deter the people? As for Yuncheng ......" Shao Zhengmao smiled disdainfully: "Zhongni, I advise you, don't provoke Zhao Wuxian." β
β¦β¦
Facing his old opponent Shao Zhengmao, Kong Qiu did not fake his color: "The Qi State and the Lu State have been peaceful, for Huaiyi." The effect of cultivating virtue and attacking with force is much better. As for Zhao Xiaosikou...... Two years ago, didn't Dr. Shaozheng advocate weakening this son? β
"I did suggest that Da Situ stumble on this son when he was rewarded, he was still weak at that time, and the three Qings could expel him together, but no one listened. But now that he has full fledgling, it is impossible to pull it out. β
Seeing that his mastermind suddenly rebelled today, Ji Sunsi couldn't help but be a little angry: "Not to mention that Zhao Xiaosikou sabotaged the Qilu peace talks and made the covenant fruitless, let's just say that he just accepted the traitorous marquis of the Shusun clan on the front foot." He also regarded Yunyi as his territory. Now he is involved in the civil strife of the Song Dynasty as a doctor of the Lu State, and once again trampled on the etiquette system and monarchy of the Lu State, is this still a minister of the Lu State? Where is the monarch of the country, and where is the three secretaries. It's really bearable, it's unbearable! It was just because he was fighting hard in the Song Kingdom to promote the fall of the capital. Wouldn't it be just right to force him to hand over the other cities of Xilu? β
"Da Situ is confident that he can win?"
Ji Sunsi was a little weak-hearted, but he still had a hard mouth: "The main force of the Zhao family is not in Lu State. There's still a chance. β
Shaozheng Mao straightened his stomach: "When the 40,000 army of Qi advanced south, I thought that Zhao Wuxian was going to lose; After the war, the state of Qi blockaded the economy of Xilu. When the salt goods were not allowed to be sold, I also thought that Zhao Wuxian was going to lose, so now, I don't dare to judge indiscriminately. β
"So in the doctor's opinion, what should be done now?" Confucius said coldly.
"Zhao Wuxian is determined to return to the Jin ......"
"How can he look like he wants to return to Jin now!" The enemy of Shusun Prefecture did not get his hands on it, and it was the time when he was thunderous.
"In my opinion, he just wants a stable way out, so that if the king can give him Xilu and promise him a throne, then Zhao Wuxian's interests will be guaranteed, and he will return to the country with confidence, and the situation in Lu can be maintained...... Although, Sanqing will have a harder time. β
Uncle Sun Zhouqiu's eyes widened: "Doctor Shaozheng, haven't you already taken refuge in Zhao Wuxian?" β
"I'm just analyzing the situation for you."
"In that case, half of Lu Guosheji will be dead......" Confucius shook his head, this is unacceptable to him, the secretary of Lu is too powerful, it is not enough to have three Huan, and there is one more strong secretary who is better than Sanhuan, and he is also a foreigner?
Confucius knew Zhao Wuxian's ability, he could make the people under his rule live in peace and resist foreign humiliation, if he could stay in the Lu country for a lifetime, Confucius would even support him to take power alone, as long as he did not cross the bottom line of stealing the country. But there is only one point, as the traitor Zai Yu said, Zhao Wuxian's governance is similar to Confucius, or even completely different.
His ambition is too great, and sooner or later he will be involved in more wars, which will lead the country of Lu onto a path full of thorns and blood. His gaze was too far away, looking at Confucius's Zhou rituals, as if he was watching a little boy play with clay beans, as if he felt that he might smash the utensils in his hand at any time......
Kong Qiu does not deny that Zhao Wuxian is extremely smart, but he is only an eighteen or nineteen-year-old champion.
The obsession, the obsession that he has been pursuing for forty years in his heart, makes Kong Qiu believe that as long as he can weaken the Qing doctor and let the monarch take power, Zhou Li can be revived in the whole territory of Lu!
He is already over fifty years old, and he boasts that he knows the destiny of heaven, and in another three years, I am afraid that he will not have the strength to fight.
Okay, in that case, let's show them!
"Doctor Shaozheng, do you really disagree with the fall of the four capitals?"
"Yes, I wouldn't agree."
"I'm afraid you've misunderstood me, doctor." "It's an order, not a request. If not, then please close the door for three months and not see any outsiders, because the matter is confidential. β
Shao Zhengmao laughed: "Your so-called secrets are full of loopholes, and Zhao Wuxian's spies are all over Qufu, I'm afraid I have already learned the news." Not only will I not close the door, but I will sit on the tower every day, waiting for your expression on the day of defeat. β
He also regarded me as a poor man who was not willing to do anything, Kong Qiu thought, in the face of his rudeness and disdain, he would be frightened by a few words, and in the face of his opposition, he would laugh at it, and he could only hope that a good night's sleep would bring Shao Zhengmao reason.
But Confucius's expectations were disappointed the next morning, and he found that Shao Zhengmao had gathered his disciples to preach to the people, questioning Confucius's politics and even his behavior, and prophesiing that he would lead the country of Lu into a dangerous situation.
This would be a devastating blow to the prestige of Kongqiu's already struggling administration.
As Kong Qiu stood under the banyan tree where they had gathered with a gloomy face, the noise around them came to an abrupt end.
"Doctor Shaozheng," Kong Qiu said, "I'll give you one last chance, dismiss everyone, and go home and shut the door." β
Shao Zhengmao pointed to Kong Qiu's nose: "It's you who should close the door, Zhong Ni, I admit that your lectures are very interesting, your disciples once came to vote, and they ran back a few days later." But you should not be in politics, your self-denial and revenge are not suitable for this season at all, not only will you not be able to prosper the country, but it will also cause chaos in the country. Resign from your position and write behind closed doors! I'm your opponent, so knowing what you can and can't do, being a clay statue in a temple, being a person who is consulted by politicians when encountering strange things, that's where people like you are best suited. β
Kong Qiu was rarely angry, but at this moment his tone was blunt: "Doctor Shaozheng, you refuse to obey me, the great uncle of the Lu State, the order of the prime minister?" β
"In the country of Lu, even the monarch and Sanhuan don't talk very well, let alone you, a person born in the wild?" Shao Zhengmao did not fake his color, his black eyes stared at Kongqiu, expressing his disdain.
Shao Zhengmao's disciples laughed meanly, and the people who didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement also began to laugh.
"That's good." Kong Qiu was suddenly not angry, but relaxed, he nodded to Zilu, who served as the head of the Ji family, "Escort Doctor Shaozheng and bring him to the palace!" β
β¦β¦
The palace que, the tall Lu country double que, the place between the west view and the east view, Kong Qiu stands proudly.
I can't remember how many times, he went back and forth here, most of the time he was a passer-by looking up, but now, he has stepped into the middle of the two, Xianglu, to a certain extent, in charge of the country's life.
Facing the suspicious monarch and the Sanhuan who rushed to hear the sound, Kong Qiu told the reason for the incident.
"As Shaozheng Mao said, Zhao Xiaosi Kou is already full-fledged, and the matter of falling into the four capitals must be carried out with the same attitude of the doctors of Zhuqing, Qufu does not allow strange voices to exist, so Qiu suggested that the young doctors ...... them."
Sanhuan and Doctor Lu Guo looked at Kong Qiu, blinking and waiting for the next sentence.
In jail? He may say that in the eyes of everyone, Kong Qiu has always been a kind old man with a smile, not a person who can be ruthless.
Indeed, Kong Qiu had no doubt that curling up in that cold prison for a day or ten days would make Shao Zhengmao shiver, have a high fever, and beg for his release. However, as soon as he is released from prison, he will start speaking out against everything that Confucius has formulated.
Expelled him from the country? He might say so. If Shao Zhengmao was stubborn and unwilling to accept Kongqiu's arrangement, his defection would only be a matter of time, but how many followers would he take with him when he left the Lu Kingdom? How would the evil words about Confucius spread among the princes?
In this world, when there is to rise up and rule the world, how can there be no bloodshed? The Yellow Emperor came to the world, and there was the death of Chiyou; Xia Qi ascended the throne, and there was the death of Boyi and Hu; Tangwu Revolution, bloodshed and drifting; Guan Zhong is in harmony, and the son dies first; The politics of childbirth also killed many opponents of the aristocracy.
Now, it's your turn!
"Kill Shaozheng in the East!" Kong Qiu gritted his teeth and finished speaking. (To be continued.) )
