Chapter 813: Ji Huanzi's attitude
Mobile reading
Confucius and his entourage left the land of Weiguo Kuangdi, entered the territory of the Song State, and marched southeast, very slowly. Sometimes! There was definite news from the state of Lu that Ji Huanzi did not welcome Confucius back.
At this time, the state of Lu, the Duke of Luding, although the new monarch has been decided, he has not yet officially sworn to the throne. So! The situation in Lu is not stable. At this time, Ji Huanzi naturally didn't want Confucius to go back. To know! After Confucius returned, this master of morality and etiquette would only accuse this and blame that, playing the role of troubled times.
Since such a talkative moral expert is not in Lu State, why did he let him come back? Isn't it?
When Confucius heard the rumors, he was very sad.
To know! After a few years of wandering, he has changed a lot. That master of morality, no longer talkative. He just wanted to go back and fulfill the courtier's rituals and pay homage to the ancestor Lu Dinggong. There is no other meaning, let alone the idea of returning to the political arena of Lu State.
Officer! It's no longer his pursuit. Preach! It's his new life.
After several years of wandering life, he has understood what Lao Tzu said and what Lao Tzu did. In his later years, Lao Tzu also gave up officialdom, hid among the people, actively preached, and spared no effort.
Now him! I also imagined that Lao Tzu went down to preach in the Great Zhou Heaven and spread his own doctrines and ideas. Politics can only be said to be managing society, and it cannot change social ideology for a long time.
If we want to change the ideology of society and change the destiny of mankind, we must preach and change the thinking of the world.
As Lao Tzu said: If a person's outlook on life does not change, without a correct outlook on life, the world will not change.
Knowing the exact news from the state of Lu, Confucius rested in place for three days, bathed and changed clothes, and fasted vegetarianly, which was regarded as a sacrifice to the Duke of Lu.
The students saw that Mr. was a little abnormal, and none of them dared to say more. Even Yan Hui didn't dare to run to Mr. Zigong is still doing business, so sometimes he is not by his side. Even if Zigong was there, he didn't dare to disturb him.
Zilu, who is usually very arrogant, saw that Confucius was dressed in plain clothes, and he didn't dare to speak casually. But! Usually, he still pulls Yan Hui and others aside and arranges the study and life of the group.
Since Confucius traveled around the world, Confucius's universities have become "mobile universities". If you want to study university content, you have to follow him. In his spare time, he will give lessons to students. And most of the time, it is the college students who enter first to bring the new students who come later.
Confucius, who recovered from despair, Lu Guo couldn't go back, Song Gong of Song rejected him last year, and Song Guo couldn't stay anymore. had to decide: to leave Song Guo with the students and go to Zheng Guo.
I went to Zheng Guo last year, but I didn't go to meet Zheng Gong and didn't submit the documents for Jin Jian. So! This time, he went to Zheng Guo to prepare to submit the documents for the Jin meeting and formally meet him.
Though! He had a hunch that Zheng Gong might not reuse him or how. But! He felt the need for it. Regardless of Zheng Gong's attitude, as long as he had this opportunity, he could teach Zheng Gong and his courtiers a lesson and spread his own doctrine and ideas.
Confucius stopped and walked and arrived at the capital of Zheng State in a few days.
Since the desperation of his desire to return to Lu, Confucius changed his attitude and truly set up a "mobile university". Wake up early every day and lead students to read. Or! Teach students to play and sing or something else. After breakfast, I packed up and left.
Most of the time, they are overnight or camping, and rarely stay in guest houses. With so many people, the guest house is very expensive. Fortunately, in this troubled world, you can find abandoned and empty houses everywhere.
Every afternoon, Confucius and his entourage would find a place to rest early, so as not to miss the village and not have this shop.
Finding a place to stay, Confucius wrote a document for Jin to see him, asking Jin to see Zheng Gong.
Originally, he wanted Zilu to submit the Jin Jian paperwork, but after thinking about it, he decided to go himself.
Yan Hui is thin and an honest person, and most people don't take him seriously when they see him. And Zilu's image is too domineering, and it is not suitable for diplomacy.
Zigong is the most suitable candidate, but Zigong has gone to do business and has not yet rushed over. And Min Ziqian went home to visit his relatives after following him back to the Song Kingdom, and he was not around. Neither of the two suitable candidates was there, so he had to go in person.
Others, whether they look or learn, can go. But Confucius felt that these students were not well-known.
It's not good if you don't have a big reputation, if Zheng Gong Guardian asks who you are, and you say that people don't know who you are, they will ignore you as well.
Most of Confucius's early students became famous, and they were very famous in the Great Zhou Dynasty. So! He paid special attention to this.
"Don't cause trouble! I'll come when I go. Nakayu! Take care of them! ......After Confucius gave some explanations, he hired a carriage and went to Zheng Palace.
When he arrived at the Zheng Palace, he handed over the written documents to the guards guarding the palace and asked them to report it. Soon! The guard came out, threw the paper into Confucius's arms, and said, "The Lord is gone!" Let's go! ”
"Have you reported it?" Confucius asked suspiciously.
"What are you talking about?" When the guard heard this, his anger suddenly increased, and he drew his sword angrily.
When Confucius saw that the guards were angry, he realized that what he had said was wrong. No! It's redundant. Whether Zheng Gong is missing or the guards have not reported it, or the guards have been blocked when they go in to report it, anyway, there is one: the road to Jin Jian is broken.
Confucius endured, saluted the guard, and then turned to come out. Because I was angry, I didn't hire a carriage anymore, and walked slowly while thinking nonsense. When he returned to his original place, he found that an abandoned house had been reduced to ashes and his students were gone.
Confucius checked it and found no traces of a fight, so he was relieved. It should have happened that Zilu and the others moved places.
In desperation, Confucius had to wait where he was. As a result, he waited until it was dark, and he didn't see Zilu coming back to him. Seeing that it was about to get dark, he walked towards the east gate of Zheng Guo's capital.
The place where they live now is outside the East Gate. The group of them came from the Song Kingdom, so they took the east gate. He thought: no matter where Zilu and they moved, they would definitely come back to him. In all probability! It was they who also entered the city. Because! He went into the city to meet Zheng Gong.
As a result, he waited until it was dark, and Leng did not wait for Zilu and the others.
Seeing that it was dark, he was afraid that he would not be able to stay at the inn at night. Furthermore! I'm hungry again. I left for a while, went to buy food, and by the way saw if there was an inn nearby.
Just when he left, Zilu and others came over, and the two sides just missed it.
