PS: It took longer than expected to write, that's it, thank you for rewarding the book friends later.

Confucius looked at Zhao Wuxian quietly, it had been a long time, it was probably after the last heated argument with the thief under the wall of the Zhongdu, he had not argued with someone for so long and so tired.

He originally thought that he and this little gentleman who hated to meet late would be like Lao Tzu, only talking and laughing and the teachings of the elders to the juniors, and there would be no disputes.

It's a pity......

It's just that it is different from Shao Zhengmao and the thief, it is a battle of ideas that are incompatible, but for Zhao Wuxian......

It's just a battle of positions, gentlemen are harmonious but different.

But is that really the case?

From Zai Yu's words, Kong Qiu has already glimpsed the huge differences between him and Zhao Wuxian, the nuances of ideas, and the projection of them on politics, perhaps it is incompatible.

Just when he was throwing out his hole cards and wanted to hear what Zhao Wuxian thought about the candidates he and his disciples had carefully agreed upon, he saw Zhao Wuxian clapping his hands and exclaiming: "Great goodness! Doctor Yanagishita will definitely be able to manage Suju well. ”

Kong Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, but he heard Wuxian's sudden change of voice, which made him have to forcibly lift his spirit again.

"I just don't know, did he get this place directly because of his merits, or did he just keep it temporarily?"

Confucius choked for a moment.

The Spring and Autumn Period of the Shang and Zhou dynasties gave the Qing Doctor as the Tianyi of Shilu. It is also called "quarry", "fiefdom", and "food eup". The canonization included the land as well as the people on it, and the recipient had jurisdiction over the people in the fiefdom and levied taxes and taxes, which was theoretically hereditary for life.

Liu Xia Ji is a gentleman, yes. But he has little credit, and he is a distant branch of the Gong clan who has come out of the five suits. was even deprived of his position because of his brother-in-law's theft. For no reason, a reward of 5,000 households was awarded. Those close branches of the Lu State who were waiting for the feudal clan were indignant and blew up their nests?

Therefore, it can only be the second type, which is guarded by the monarch in the name of the doctor.

In the Jin Kingdom, the annexation became more and more drastic, and the Qing Dafu's mining was also shaken, and it was common for several masters to change in ten years, and gradually began to turn the town into a county. The county magistrate is called a doctor, but he is a bureaucrat who can be appointed and replaced at any time, and his position is higher than that of Yi Zai and Sima. But he is no longer their lord, but his boss.

The situation in the state of Lu was similar, after the three Huan and the four divisions, few people were lucky enough to obtain a hereditary fiefdom. For example, the former doctor of Yuncheng was temporarily guarded, and it is more appropriate to call him a guard.

"Just for the king."

Seeing that what he expected was not bad, Wuxian breathed a sigh of relief and said: "A 5,000-household Dayi can't be managed by a doctor alone, and Su Ju Sima has nothing to do." They were driven away together, and only some guards and assistants were left to maintain law and order. As a doctor, he can rule by hanging the arch, but Sima must be able to take on heavy responsibilities and cannot be assigned at will from hundreds of miles away. lest the matter of the enemy happen again. The kid is quite familiar with the defense of Suju, and wants to recommend a Sima candidate, but what? ”

Since Liu is only temporarily guarding next season. Nasu Ju Sima was not his retainer, just a subordinate who had no life to rely on. With that. Zhao Wuxian can play a lot of tricks. His meaning is obvious: I can make Liu Xia Ji Jinsu a doctor, but the soldiers have to listen to me. Shall we all take a step back?

Confucius glanced at Wuxian again: "Xiao Sikou said that it is okay, but this has to be decided by the king." ”

It's not all up to me, you can talk about it, but whether it works or not depends on the candidate.

Wuxian saluted respectfully: "I recommend Ran Qiu, who has meritorious service to the thief, Ziyou!" ”

……

"After the epidemic is eliminated, Zhao Bing evacuated, and Dr. Liuxia went to govern the government, and Ran Qiu was in charge of the military affairs as Yi Sima, and the matter was settled, Zhongjun Zuo, do you think this is feasible?"

Zhao Ying threw back the spear thrown by Confucius: "This is the internal affairs of Lu, just ask my son, ask me what to do?" ”

"Wei Wei ......" Ji Sunsi hurriedly bowed his back and looked at Zhao Wuxian with a pleading gaze.

In Ji Sunsi's opinion, Zhao Ying's terrifying degree far exceeds that of Yang Hu, he was like a rat who saw a raccoon slave under the power of Yang Hu back then, and he didn't dare to come out in front of Zhao Ying, or Zhao Xiaosikou could discuss some things.

As for the even more unbearable uncle and grandson, he kept a flattering smile all the time, and almost didn't say a word during the period.

So, today is completely a confrontation between Zhao's father and son and Kong Qiu.

Afterwards, Shusun Zhouqiu actually reproached Confucius fearfully and said: "If Zhao Qing is angered, and he is handsome and even the Zhao soldiers who have defeated the Qi people come to attack, how can we deal with it?" ”

Confucius said: "There are many Jin politics, Liuqing can't be single-minded, Zhao Meng is also busy returning to the country, where is the time to crusade against the Lu State?" What's more, as the king's secretary and doctor, if we don't fight for the interests of the country, we will be bullied, and the country will not be a country! ”

Lao Tzu told him that he would fight without fighting, but Confucius felt that he could not do it now.

He was greatly disappointed with the performance of Ji Sunsi and his uncle today, and Erqing completely became a clay statue and a person who painted the seal of Nuo, until the end of this meeting, which represented the fact that the Lu people agreed to take a step back on both sides.

"The person who fights crumbs is not enough to conspire with him!"

……

For Ji Suns, he is very satisfied that today's banquet confrontation can be negotiated like this.

The Zhao family agreed to withdraw from Dayi Xuju, which made them nervous, although the candidate was unsatisfactory, it was Liu Xiaji, who was more trusted by Lu Hou, but after all, he was the prince of Lu State, and it was better than Zhao Wuxian entrenched there. As for Sima Ranqiu, who came in, although he had been a minister of Zhao Wuxian, wasn't that a student of Kong Qiu? No matter how you think about it, you listen to Kongqiu's words.

But Confucius was a little sullen.

"Ask for it, the city of a thousand rooms, the home of a hundred times, you can make it slaughtered, and you don't know its benevolence."

This is his evaluation of his disciple Ran Qiu.

He was able to ensure that Ran Qiu was competent in government, but virtuous...... Kongqiu couldn't be sure either.

His disciple was a cautious person, so Confucius encouraged him to act decisively, and now it seems that there is not much change, but the object of the request for advice in case of trouble has changed from Confucius to the lord Zhao Wuxian.

Come to think of it, Ran Qiu was just a small two Sima in Zhongzhong back then, with twenty or thirty people. But after he arrived under the command of Wuxian, he was trusted. Reuse, the position has risen all the way. Let Ran Qiu not be unduly served.

"Ziyou, diligent and loyal. With 500 people, he resisted thousands of thieves, made many meritorious contributions, and should be promoted to Dayi Sima! ”

Now that Zhao Wuxian has recommended him to be a Suju Sima, judging from the temperament of this disciple, Confucius cannot guarantee who he will listen to in the future.

Anyway, the essence of Ziyou is still good, although his words are sneering, but his behavior is kind, so he will not become an unscrupulous person like Zaiyu.

So for this recommendation of Zhao Wuxian. In terms of reason, Confucius had no reason to refuse.

Just when Kong Qiu hung his head and thought, he heard a thick question, and Zhao Ying bypassed Ji and his uncle and grandson at some point, and stood in front of him.

"I heard that Confucius has a saying, called a gentleman is reserved but not fighting, why is he fighting so hard today that he even has to roll up his sleeves. Where is the Confucian Sven? ”

……

Zhao Ying ignored Ji Sunsi's flattery, he has seen a lot of such people, and his eyes are still glancing at Confucius, in recent years. I have never seen such a bold person, just like Zheng Zisan, who was competing for the inheritance at the Pingqiu meeting back then!

There is unhappiness in his heart, but there is appreciation. There are also deliberate difficulties, so there is this question.

Confucius paused and responded, "A gentleman has nothing to fight about. If there is, it must be fighting for the country. But even if it's for the sake of state affairs. It is also to make concessions and humility to each other first, and then toast each other after the end. This is the battle of gentlemen. ”

As the presiding officer of the feast, Confucius, as the presiding officer of the feast, once again took the wine jue from the basket, washed the jue by hand, and filled the copper bottle with wine syrup with the wine jug, and then faced north and dedicated it to Zhao Ying.

Here, the tall old man of Lu put away his-for-tat, hid his face reservedly behind the big sleeves of his wide robe, and sprinkled his tendrils with wine.

"Hehe Shiyin, the people are looking forward, and today I know the power of Zhao Qing."

Over there, Zhao Ying lost his previous deliberate arrogance, and also raised the bottle with both hands and drank a full bottle.

"What Confucius has done today is enough to be the pillar of the country. As the poem says: Joy is only a gentleman, the foundation of the state! ”

Isn't it a good thing that these two giants can't be friends, but they don't hate each other as they did in history? Zhao Wuxian, who was silently watching, couldn't say clearly.

……

The reward for Zhao Wuxian was promulgated, and the matter of Suju was resolved, and Confucius's mission was completed.

As for the Xilu towns that Zhao Wuxian has infiltrated, although the doctors of the Doctor Association do not conform to the etiquette law, it is a last resort when the army of Qi is pressing, and in the final analysis, it is to blame Sanhuan for not saving and making the doctors desperate. Lu Hou additionally admitted that it has become a fait accompli, and it is too late to regret it.

Since Zhao Wuxian didn't send troops to station and expel the doctor too obviously, then Lu Hou and Sanhuan could still pinch their noses and pretend not to see it, and wait for the strong Zhao Ying to leave.

But Confucius could not let it go.

So before he left, he asked Zhao Wuxian seriously: "Xiao Sikou, Yang Hu, are you really dead?" ”

Master, your hatred for Yanghu is really long-lasting, in history, thousands of years later, he has to rely on your light to leave a name.

So Wuxian also replied seriously: "Dead, my retainer Kan Zhi saw it with his own eyes, and I also gave him a word at that time." ”

"What?"

"The people of the world do not learn from Yanghu, rebel against their masters, want to kill their kings, and use their courtiers to carry out the country's life."

Zhao Wuxian's words may be emulated from the King of Chu Ling, who crusaded against the state of Wu when he was in charge of the princes, and captured Qingfeng, the former minister of the state of Qi, in Zhu Fangyi of the state of Wu. The spirit king who loved to show off was overjoyed, so he tied him up with five flowers, paraded the streets with an axe on his back, and forced him to say this: "Don't follow the Qingfeng of the Qi State, he is a traitor, kill his monarch, weaken the orphan of the monarch (Qi Hou pestle), and dare to encroach on the alliance with the doctor!" ”

At that time, Qingfeng, who was articulate, returned the opposite, and shouted loudly about the ugly things of King Chu Ling when he was parading through the streets: "The second and third sons should not learn from the concubine Ziwei (King Chu Ling) of the King of Chu, he killed his brother's son and usurped the throne, and tried in vain to dominate and form an alliance with the princes!" "King Chu Ling was embarrassed, and quickly asked people to block Qingfeng's mouth and kill him.

So Kong Qiu was very curious for a while, how Yang Hu would answer.

After today's confrontation, his attitude towards Zhao Wuxian is quietly changing, and even the bold words of "self-cultivation and Qi family governing the country and leveling the world" are in line with Confucius's ambitions, and it seems that he is not ashamed of what King Chu Ling said when he divined: "Yu still has the world? (Can I get the world?) "Closer. "Does Yang Hu have a response?"

Zhao Wuxian showed a look of reminiscence: "It is said that Yang Hu was dying at that time and couldn't even pronounce it, but I think what he wanted to say in his heart should be...... The husband can't eat five tripods in life, and he will cook five tripods when he dies! (To be continued......)
