It's spring when you come, and it's summer when you leave.

Confucius really didn't want to leave, but he had to. He didn't come to Qi to travel, nor did he come to Qi to learn and play, he came with a secret mission.

No! He didn't just come with a secret mission, he came with a dream.

He wanted to find a good king to rely on, and then promote his ideas and implement the Zhou rites and Zhou system. Restore and maintain the Zhou rites and the Zhou system, and restore the social atmosphere and style of the heyday of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Politically, he advocated this.

In terms of life, he is strict with himself, abides by weekly etiquette and weekly system, and is self-cultivation. Be a model for the world to do, and let the world follow your example.

Self-cultivation and self-cultivation, Confucius began when he was a teenager. Under the teaching of Confucius's mother, his life is like this: one is one and two is two, never ambiguous and never exceeded.

Confucius thought: What I can do in Confucius, the world will definitely be able to do it. What I can't do, the world can't do either. With this standard, we should measure and correct the errors and deficiencies in the weekly rites and weekly system, and maintain the weekly rites and weekly system.

"Good luck Brother Kong!" The luthier gave it away.

Confucius also saluted: "With the talent of the elder brother, he should be a politician, promote Shao music, and cultivate the sentiments of the world......"

The pianist smiled wryly and did not answer.

He knew in his heart that it was more difficult to implement Shaole than to implement the weekly ceremony. Not many people care about music anymore, and for people in suffering, listening to music is more effective than listening to a joke.

Leaving the qinist's house, Confucius did not wander on the road anymore, and went directly to the capital of Qi. Stayed at the inn for one night and made all the preparations. The next day, he went to the palace and asked Jin to see Qi Jinggong.

The guards didn't bother to talk to him, but it can be seen that this person is polite, so he reported his request to the superiors. After layers of reporting, it was finally passed to Qi Jinggong.

Generally, people who don't have official documents or letters come, and the guards are too lazy to take care of them. Even! Treat you as an assassin, a spy, or someone else, and drive you away. What's more, they will arrest you directly.

Generally, those who handle official business, especially foreigners, must first submit official documents and letters to the relevant department (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) after they arrive.

You can't go directly to the palace, go to the palace, and no one will pay attention to you. If the guards of the palace are taken care of by everyone, then there is chaos at the entrance of the palace, and the bad guys will take the opportunity to make trouble.

So! The guards at the gate of the palace are generally not recognized by the six relatives.

When Qi Jinggong learned that Confucius was coming, he hurriedly asked his personal minister to go out and bring Confucius in.

The news of Confucius's visit to Qi has already been reported. It's just that! Confucius didn't come to report, so he pretended not to know.

Other than that! After Confucius came to the State of Qi, Lu Zhaogong, Ji Pingzi and others all sent people to the State of Qi to inquire about the situation of Confucius.

Lu Zhaogong was concerned about whether Confucius showed his talent and gave him a long face?

And Ji Pingzi and others wanted to ask what Confucius did when he came to Qi State? And also! When is this person going back? It's best for this nasty ghost to stay in Qi forever and never return to Lu.

What the spies and Qi Jinggong and others didn't expect was that after Confucius came to Qi State, he evaporated from the world.

Confucius lived in the house of the piano master, played the piano all day long, and rarely came out. Even if you go out, you just go to the hill and play the piano with the two pianists. The two often put the piano on the top of the cliff, playing one and chanting the other, as if they were drunk.

When he arrived at the inner palace, Qi Jinggong personally came out to greet him. Confucius knelt and bowed, and Qi Jinggong was very happy and helped Confucius up. Entering the inner study, Qi Jinggong treated each other with the etiquette of a VIP.

When Confucius saw Qi Jinggong treat him like this, he was happy in his heart, but he was also sincerely afraid.

After some greetings, Qi Jinggong went straight to the point and asked about Zhou Li.

Confucius knows everything, says everything, and explains them one by one.

"Sir, can you build a Lile team for my father's Qi country?" Qi Jinggong asked.

"This?" Confucius was taken aback on the spot.

I thought: I'm here to be a politician, not a courtesy. But! He still agreed: "Yes! Kong Qiu is willing! ”

"Good! Set the wine! Qi Jinggong immediately ordered to go down, put a wine feast, and entertain Confucius.

After the wine feast, Qi Jinggong sent Confucius to the pavilion on the grounds that he was busy with state affairs.

"Tomorrow! Mr. came over to the Qi Kingdom of his father-in-law to build a super Lile team......"

When Confucius was leaving, Qi Jinggong said.

After waiting for Confucius to leave, Qi Jinggong went to the harem with a little drunkenness. When the concubines of the harem saw that Duke Qi was coming, they all came forward to offer their courtesy.

"Go, go, go! Who did you catch in the last lot? The eunuch stepped forward to stop him.

Qi Jinggong lay down in the luxurious room of the waiter, and let the concubine serve by catching lots. If the concubine served well, he would flap his wings a few times like a rooster that came out of the cage in the morning, and give the concubine a good fortune. If not interested, he sleeps his sleep. When you wake up, you will go to do state affairs when there is a state affair; If you don't have state affairs, you just talk nonsense with the ministers around you.

Confucius came to the pavilion very unhappily, and he was a little disappointed in Qi Jinggong. But I thought again: I just came over, and Qi Jinggong is already very good to himself like this. After all! People don't know your political opinions, they only know that you understand etiquette.

That being the case! It's better to just: if you come, you will be safe!

The next day, he came to the palace on time to see Qi Jinggong.

Qi Jinggong is still as enthusiastic as ever, and he is very good to him!

At his request, Qi Jinggong called all the people he wanted. Other than that! It was also accompanied by a band.

Confucius became a ceremonial officer and trained Qi Jinggong as the "honor guard of the three armies". After teaching the pace, gestures, formation, and formation changes of the "Honor Guard of the Three Services", he went to instruct the band and play the music he arranged.

This! He did not arrange for the band to play the tunes of the Lu State, nor did he arrange for the performance of the tunes prescribed by the Great Zhou Dynasty.

According to the Zhou ceremony, the kings of the vassal states played different pieces of music according to their ranks. Music is not played casually, and casual performance is to kill the head. No! It's not enough to kill your head. But! There are corresponding punishments.

What is called "bad etiquette", this "bad music" is that the music played is messed up.

Confucius took out the shao music he had learned from the luthier and let the orchestra play it. Of course! It is not Emperor Shun's Shao music, but a piece of music specially configured for lower-level officials, Shao music.

This one! Confucius didn't dare to mess around!

Mess around! It's a mess!

"Shao Le?" When Qi Jinggong heard this, he became interested on the spot.

Confucius trained the "Honor Guard of the Three Armed Forces" in the palace, and Qi Jinggong was always there.

Why is this so?

Because! Qi Jinggong and many ministers of Qi State received the highest courtesy when they went to Lu State. They are all very vain and feel that they have face.

So! When Confucius was rehearsing, Qi Jinggong and others were all on the scene to observe.

"Back to the Lord! It's Shaole! Confucius replied respectfully.

Today's Confucius changed his name to Qi Jinggong as "the Lord". Lord! It means that he is his master, and he is the subordinate and courtier of others.
