When Fang Jishi rushed to Weiguo, Confucius had already accepted Weigong's invitation to serve as an official in Weiguo.

When he heard that Confucius had reappeared, he did not go to Confucius. Albeit! When he came, Ji Huanzi and Lu Gong gave him a letter of appointment, as well as a letter of appointment to Confucius. But he thinks! This is just an excuse for Ji Huanzi to send you away from the country of Lu.

The letter of appointment of Duke Lu or Ji Huanzi is just a fart for other kings, and no one hangs you. Even if it's a letter of appointment from the Son of Heaven? And how many kings hung him? Isn't it?

In the social context of the time, power was the capital to speak. The king of the hegemonic country can speak his word.

So! Fang Jishi did not enter the Wei Palace to meet Confucius, he lived in an inn in the capital of the Wei Kingdom, and became a free man.

Furthermore! Fang Jishi also didn't want to get too close to Confucius, so as not to upset Ji Huanzi. It doesn't matter if you offend the king of the Lu country, Lu Gong, don't offend the real ruler of the Lu country. If you have power, you must not offend, if you offend, you may be punished by someone.

Now Fang Jishi is most concerned about his family. He had two concubines, two sons and two daughters. The two sons are biological sons, a big family, and the daughter Fang Jian is also a big family. Only his daughter Fang Qin, that is, Confucius's daughter-in-law and Kong Li's wife, did not have children.

Such a big family, dozens of people, if you offend Ji Huanzi or someone in power, people will punish you with one sentence.

So! Fang Jishi could only protect Confucius secretly, and did not want to get so close to Confucius publicly. Furthermore! Protecting a person secretly is often safer than protecting it openly. Not only are you safe, but so are the people you are protecting.

And also! In what capacity did he go to Confucius?

Zilu was a student of Confucius, and everyone in the world knew it. And he! It's just Confucius's in-laws.

Few people in the outside world know about him and Confucius being brothers.

Let him use Confucius's protector to protect Confucius by his side, isn't that stupid?

Aren't you stupid? You are tantamount to showing your identity and standing on the side of Confucius, and standing on the side of Confucius means: against Ji Huanzi and other people from Sanhuan! You're not looking for death? It's looking for punishment!

Why did Confucius become a leader in the defense of the country so quickly?

Go without saying! Confucius came out to defend the country, which is related to Nanzi. If it weren't for Nanzi's kind words in front of Wei Gong and his strong recommendation, Wei Gong would not have agreed easily.

There is another reason why Confucius came out to defend the country.

At this time, what Confucius needed most was a spiritual "sense of existence". After being driven out of the state of Lu, he needed to find his place in the other princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty. That's the only way! so as not to slap in the face!

If after he left the Lu Kingdom, there was no "king to set up a feast" waiting for him to eat, then he would invisibly slap himself in the face.

Isn't it? You are so good, why do you leave the country of Lu and you have no one to ask for?

At that time, Ji Huanzi and his subordinates all laughed at Confucius in person, saying that there was a king waiting for him to eat a palace banquet.

It is precisely for this reason that Confucius insisted on trying his luck in defending the country despite Zilu's opposition.

In the Song Kingdom! Some people say that Nanzi is coquettish and fools around with Gongzi. But! Most people still say good things about Nanzi. Because! Nanzi often sent envoys back to the Song Kingdom to visit. In order to make a name for herself, she asked her envoys to do more good deeds and help those in need. Outcome! Those who received her help all said that she was good.

Those who get Nanzi's benefits naturally hide or don't care about her personal life style. As for whether you are coquettish or not, it is a matter of personal outlook on life, and it does not affect a person's accumulation of virtue and good deeds.

If a person really does good deeds for others, the question of her (his) personal life style is not worth mentioning.

You say that others are coquettish and fooling around with Gongzi, is it true or false? Is it a rumor made by others who are jealous of Princess Nanzi's beauty? Isn't it? How could what happened in the Song Palace spread throughout the Song Kingdom? So! It is very likely that someone else made up a rumor.

With Confucius's IQ, he naturally guessed: Nanzi! The status of this princess of the Song Kingdom in the defense of the country.

If Nanzi, Mrs. Wei, did not have that status, she would not have the ability to send envoys back to the Song Kingdom to help her do things. Albeit! According to the grapevine, another purpose of this envoy is to act as a messenger between her and the Gongzi Dynasty. Special Courier!

What is a Special Messenger?

It is a messenger who specially delivers letters between her and Childe.

One can imagine: if Nanzi didn't have that ability, would she be able to do it?

It is precisely for this reason that Confucius ignored Zilu's opposition and insisted on trying his luck in defending the country. Since Nanzi's envoy has spoken and is willing to recommend it in front of Nanzi, then! It is possible for the envoy to do so.

From his social experience, it has been seen that this envoy is not a liar. Furthermore! After recovering from "heart palsy", he is no longer the Confucius and Confucius of the past! In terms of understanding, he has improved to a certain extent. The shopkeeper told him that he had not spoken in vain for one night, and he had some enlightenment. No! It's not that he's somewhat enlightened, but! He was determined to change.

Let him give up his doctrine and ideas and take refuge in the embrace of Taoism, he will not be able to give up. After all! Since he left Lao Tzu, he has devoted himself to research and created his own doctrine and thoughts. It's been decades, how can you be willing to give up?

So! He decided to go back to the old way: improve!

Past! It is an improvement of the weekly ceremony, the weekly system. Right now! It is to improve or revise one's own doctrine and theoretical thinking.

Duke Wei readily agreed under the recommendation of his wife Nanzi, and with a wave of his hand, he met Nanzi's request.

"You give him as much as you say! Whatever official you say to him, give him whatever official you want! And that's not a sentence? Wei Gong shook his gray beard and smiled.

"Thank you, Lord!"

After Wei Gong got Nanzi, he explained: "Although what Kong Qiu did in the Lu State (Fallen Sandu) was a bit excessive, his set still has merit. Isn't it? His reputation for Confucius is outside, and now in the world of the Great Zhou Dynasty, how many people don't know the name of Confucius and Confucius? Isn't it? Such a great man, no! is the second genius in the world, he doesn't need it, wouldn't it make me pick up a cheap one for nothing? Hahaha......"

"Yes! Lord wise! Nanzi replied flatteringly.

"Hahaha......" Seeing that Nanzi was happy, Wei Gong was naturally happy. When a beauty is happy, she can make herself as happy. As a king, what more could you ask for? National affairs, do I have to worry about it? That's what the ministers worry about!

"In the name of Confucius, even if he doesn't do anything to defend the country, he can bring a good reputation to the country, which shows that we can tolerate people when we defend the country. Later! There will be more talents from all over the world......"

"Hahaha!" Wei Gong laughed and said, "That's a hundred birds and a phoenix!" Hahaha! My Wei Gong's reputation has spread all over the world since then! Hahaha......"
