Chapter 362: Great Gifts

Twenty years ago, Lu Zhaogong was defeated in the civil war and was expelled by Ji Pingzi and the Meng clan and Shusun clan. He looked like a "knowledgeable courtesy", so at the beginning of his expulsion, he won the sympathy of many princes and doctors, and the Marquis of Qi sent a population of 25,000 households, and seized Yuncheng as his rear, and also tried to enter the Lu country in the name of helping Lu Zhaogong return to China.

Lu Guo's uncle Muzi, Song Guoleqi, Zheng Guozi's uncle and others actively campaigned for Lu Zhaogong, wanting to let Zhaogong return peacefully through open peace talks with Ji, and the six secretaries of Jin acted as arbiters.

In those years, it was indeed the most united day for the doctors of Zhu Xiaqing in the "era of soldiers", and everyone seemed to be working hard for a goal, hoping to create a happy and prosperous Ji Zhou Zongmeng......

However, because of Lu Zhaogong's funny character, he had to fight to the death with the Ji family, and he would never compromise and retreat. So the negotiations were deadlocked, and even Jin Qingzhi, who likes to pretend to be harmless to humans and animals, couldn't stand him, so he could only cover his ears and walk away.

The monarchs lost their patience, so they ignored Lu Zhaogong and kicked him around like a stinky ball, so that the exiled monarch only ended up dying in a foreign land, and the mausoleum could not be adjacent to the ancestors after his death.

If Lu Zhaogong had a spirit under the spring, he would probably hate the Ji family the most, but he probably couldn't have imagined that nearly ten years after his death, someone would come forward to speak for him and overturn the case.

Unlike Confucius who asked Meng to stop the music and dance at the beginning of summer, this time, Confucius's book suddenly caused an uproar in Lu State!

……

Wuxian summoned Kan Zhi and showed him the copy of the book that Feng Rin had managed to send back, and then said, "Earlier. Ji Pingzi buried Lu Zhaogong in the south of the tomb of the former king of Lu, so that Zhaogong could not be buried with the first king. to vent personal anger. A few days ago, the little Zongbo Confucius proposed it to Lu Hou. Someone should be sent to dig a ditch to connect the tomb of Zhaogong with the tomb circle of the ancestor to correct his name! ”

In matters about Confucius, Zhao Wuxian did not let Ran Qiu, Gong Xichi and others know, so he generally discussed with Zhang Meng or Kan Zhi.

Speaking of Kan Zhi, in the past six months, he has usually followed Zhao Wuxian as a counselor, and from time to time he can put forward a subtle suggestion. Wuxian also felt that it was really a big bargain to find this person in Lu Country, and he was smart. Very sensitive to politics and very bold.

The only shortcoming of this teenager is that he is a little overly flamboyant and straightforward, which is in stark contrast to Zhang Mengtan's low-key. But in terms of understanding of the country of Lu, he, a native of the country, has a few unique insights than Zhang Mengtan, if he can experience it again, he may be able to become a good strategist, a minister, and a "talent of a country". is only a little worse than Zhang Mengtan and Zigong, who are "kingly talents".

If Zhao Wuxian knew, in the original history, this young man could later become the state minister of Qi State, and he could also fight with Chen Heng (Tian Chang). almost ruined Chen's career, so he won't be surprised by his talent anymore.

So, just through the information that Feng Rin sent back. Coupled with some Confucian gossip information obtained from Zai Yu, the intelligent Kan Zhi actually saw through the connotation of what Confucius did during this time.

He said, "Sikou. This is essentially the monarch and the little uncle want to fight the arrogance of Sanhuan through the dispute over the ceremony. Establish and restore the rule of the monarch and prepare for the strengthening of the monarchy......"

Kan Zhi immediately stopped, glanced at Wuxian and said: "It turns out that what Si Kou said about the person who spoiled the situation is here, Confucius's letter this time is probably the instruction of Lu Hou, and it happened to step on Ji's sore feet, changing the father's government is equivalent to admitting Ji's mistakes back then, this is a big taboo, and Da Situ will definitely oppose it." But in order to fight the Ji family, the Meng family will definitely approve of it, and the uncle and grandson don't know where it is...... I don't know who we should support and who we should oppose in this matter? ”

Kan Zhi doesn't like to go around in circles, and he always only needs to listen to the sovereign's inclination before he can put forward his own suggestions.

Zhao Wuxian said: "I once crossed Jishui and saw a river mussel basking in the sun with its shell open. There was a sandpiper that stretched out its beak to peck at the flesh of the mussel, and the mussel quickly closed its shell and clamped the sandpiper's beak tightly. The sandpiper said, 'If it doesn't rain today, if it doesn't rain tomorrow, you'll die.'" The mussel also said to the sandpiper, 'If you don't release it today, you will die tomorrow!' Neither of them would let go. When the fisherman saw this, he caught them both. I don't have the slightest interest in the right or wrong of this, I just want to be the fisherman who makes the ultimate profit! ”

……

Zhao Wuxian and Kan Zhi did not expect badly, Confucius and Lu Hou's intention was to implement the policy of "fighting for power with courtesy" in Lu State, and the effect was remarkable in the past six months.

started from the trivial ceremonial things that were not noticed, and made a name for himself with the court's appointment and inquiry of the state of Yi, to the sacrificial arrogance of the Meng clan to slowly test the bottom line of the three Huan, and by the way, there was discord between them. Wait until others think that the wind is calm and then set off a monstrous wave, this method is a set of tight combination punches, so that Wuxian has to be impressed by Confucius.

In this way, gradually regaining strength, the Ji clan, who is trying to specialize in Lu again, will face a huge challenge: whether to admit the mistakes of the previous suzerain, bow to Lu Hou, or unite with the Meng clan and the Shusun clan to carry it to the end!

However, although he was quite dissatisfied with Confucius's reprimand for Meng's transgression last time, Meng did not feel that it had anything to do with him about the matter of changing the Zhao Cemetery. The last time he was accused of bad luck by Confucius, didn't Ji also support Confucius and applaud on the sidelines? Now that there is such an opportunity for revenge, shouldn't you step on 10,000 feet?

As a result, there was a two-sided dispute in the court of Lu on whether to change the regulations of the tomb of Lu Zhaogong, and Lu Hou had not yet officially expressed his position, Meng supported Confucius, and Ji strongly opposed it.

As for the Shusun clan, the family that suffered the most in the Yanghu Rebellion easily recovered a little vitality and gathered thousands of clan soldiers, but the territory of Yuyi was still under the control of Che Zhenghou, and its strength was weak, and it had been dependent on the Ji clan for half a year.

Faced with this historical problem that was turned out, Shusun Zhouqiu was a little hesitant, because his grandfather and uncle Zhaozi were sympathetic to Lu Zhaogong, and later asked to welcome back Zhaogong, but he was deceived and angry by Ji Pingzi and passed away.

When it came to Shusun Zhouqiu's father, Uncle Sun Chengzi, he was also the main force advocating the return of Zhaogong, and it was he who went to support Zhaogong when he was buried.

This is the tendency of family traditions. Therefore, Shusun Zhou Qiu hesitated to stand on the front of Meng and Confucius, but was persuaded by his retainer Gongnan.

"When Lu Zhaogong wanted to destroy the Ji family. The reason why the Shusun clan rose up to support the Ji clan was because there was no Ji clan. There is no uncle and grandson, this sentence is also correct today, if the prestige of the Ji family is greatly damaged, the uncle and grandson will also be affected, please think twice! ”

So the uncle and grandson still followed Ji's and opposed Confucius's proposal and reprimanded him for being troublesome.

As soon as the uncle and grandson fell to the Ji family, the balance was a little tilted, and Lu Hou was hesitant about this matter. At this time, he was thinking about whether to stop here, but Confucius was difficult to ride a tiger, if he couldn't carry this matter to the end, he might have only one way to resign!

Fortunately, Sanhuan has already had an established impression of Confucius, and subconsciously feels that he is a stubborn old Confucian, and the last time he corrected Meng's arrogance, this time he wanted to change the tomb of Lu Zhaogong, probably a pedantic move from his heart, rather than a part of the plan to respect the monarchy. So even Ji was not too vigilant. It's just annoying, and only bystanders such as Zhao Wuxian can see the truth.

gave Confucius a heavy blow, and Shao Zhengmao, a doctor close to Ji, also began to stand up. He was also known as "Lu Zhiwenren", and he began to guide the one-sided public opinion, insisting that the Zhaogong Mausoleum could not be changed, and for a time the court was in a state of rhetoric. The fight is endless.

When the two were arguing, a book made of hemp paper came from the west of Lu Guo.

By this time. Sanhuan and Lu Hou suddenly remembered the son of Jin Qing who nested in Sanyi in the west. Lu Guoxiao Sikou, but it has been silent for a long time. Recently, he has been busy managing the territory, playing hide and seek with thieves, firing porcelain, sending small objects to make gifts to the emperor, and promoting a writing material called "paper" in Qufu, Lucheng......

In the letter, Zhao Wuxian made a suggestion.

"The minister heard the words of the little uncle, which is very reasonable, and the argument of the young doctor is also credible. This matter is about the country, either one or the other, not right or wrong, but the three secretaries are arguing endlessly, and it is not the benefit of the state. What's more, the matter of etiquette, the past dynasties are different, the Xia Dynasty and the Yin Shang Dynasty govern the world, have their own rules and regulations and etiquette, but their legislation is not perfect, and the system has lost the middle way. Since the rise of Zong Zhou, there are Ming monarchs like King Wen and King Wu, and there are good rulers like Zhou Gong, so they investigated the etiquette system of the Xia and Shang dynasties, or removed the excessive content, or increased the insufficient content, and formulated a delicate and nuanced Zhou ceremony, and spread the Lu country, so Ji Za Gongzi once said that the Zhou rites are all in Lu! ”

However, for hundreds of years, the etiquette has been complicated and accumulated, and many of them have lost their origins. As the saying goes, it is better to accept the words of the wise doctors and scholars of the Lu country, so that their generations can gather in the Lu City Hao Society to discuss etiquette, and the ruling and the doctors choose the good ones as the good medicine for governing the country. ”

"Gathering?"

"Discussion?"

"Great gifts?"

Zhao Wuxian's suggestion stunned both the pros and cons, and then reacted quickly.

The so-called "wise doctors and scholars" who "know etiquette" in the Lu State are not talking about Confucius and Shaozhengmao?

In this regard, since the two sides opened their respective altars to teach private education, they have fought many times in previous years, so how can they be afraid of such a success?

The disciples of Confucius and the young disciples of Shao Zhengmao were the first to prepare for a big battle, while the Meng and Ji clans received letters from Zhao Wuxian respectively.

Regarding Ji's family, Zhao Wuxian claimed that he was worried about Confucius's attack this time, and it was Meng's who was playing tricks from beginning to end, first deliberately encroaching on Confucius to make him take a beating, and then let Ji suffer a greater crisis, so Ji and Wuxian should return to the original road of cooperation.

For the Meng family, Zhao Wuxian put on a posture of supporting Confucius's actions, he was the same as Zifu He, he had a close relationship with Confucius, and there were also Ran Qiu, Gongxi Chi and others in the Lingyi, which was ironclad evidence.

With Yanghu's previous car overturned, Wuxian didn't expect to win the trust of Erqing, as long as a nail was planted in their hearts, so that the Ji clan and the Meng clan would never be able to cooperate again.

At the end of the summer and fifth year of the ninth year of Luhou Song, under the call of Zilu and others, hundreds of disciples of Confucius decided to gather in Lucheng, and so did the disciples of Shao Zhengmao. The atmosphere in Qufu suddenly became tense, and there were a lot more strange floating populations, but it was because an unprecedented big debate was about to break out...... (To be continued......)
