More than ten days passed like this, and it was safe and sound. Confucius went to work in the Lu Palace every day and went to the square in front of the Taimiao Temple to rehearse the show.

Under the urging of Ji Huanzi and others, they rehearsed the show on the square in front of the Taimiao all day long. The ceremonial staff who were arranged to come over complained and complained about twisting their butts in the open square all day long on this cold day. But they can't help it, it's Ji Huanzi's order. If Confucius had ordered them, these people would have resisted.

Confucius also learned to be obedient, and if someone did not cooperate with the rehearsal, he threatened them, saying that he would tell Ji Huanzi. Outcome! This trick is very clever, and everyone dare not cooperate.

The etiquette of the early rehearsal is all male players, and there are no female players. Later, one day, Ji Huanzi arranged a group of palace maids to mix and match men and women, and asked Confucius to arrange them in accordance with the method of "mixed and matched men and women".

Confucius was naturally unwilling, but he didn't dare to contradict it.

"This? This? ”

"What's wrong?" Ji Huanzi's eyes widened and he said, "Haven't you studied Shao Le?" I heard the envoys of Qi say that among the songs and dances of Shao Music, there are songs and dances that are mixed with men and women......"

"This?" Confucius wanted to say: That was before, since the Zhou Dynasty, there is no longer a mix of men and women. Either a men's team or a women's team, this is in line with Zhou Li.

Men and women mix and match, isn't this a promiscuity?

No! It's incestuous 1!

"Don't fool people with Zhou Lilai! Kongqiu! You can't even be a ceremonial officer, are you? Seeing that Confucius was reluctant, Ji Huanzi directly changed his face.

In desperation, Confucius had to agree to try.

How do men and women mix and match? Isn't this playing the piano indiscriminately?

For this, Confucius really spent a lot of brains.

How do you mix and match? It can only be done by letting the male and female team members one-to-one, or in a somewhat proportional manner, to carry out a "mixed match of men and women", and the overall dance is carried out first. And then! Women or men come out of the whole group and dance alone, that is, lead the dance. Highlight the important, others as a foil.

When he was in Luoyi, in the Zhou Tibetan room, he really saw the ancient books of "mixed men and women". It's just that! At that time, he still admired Zhou Li, thinking that "mixing men and women" was not stipulated by the Zhou system and Zhou Li. So! I didn't look closely, I glanced at it and threw it aside.

Since there is a record in ancient books, it means that "men and women mixed and matched" existed before. In Shao Le, there may also be. Since there is! can be choreographed.

This day! The literary and artistic exchange mission of the Qi State, escorted by Fang Zhong, came to Qufu City.

Under Ji Huanzi's arrangement, Confucius led his ceremonial procession out of the Lu Palace and came to the Ji Mansion. In the compound of the Ji Mansion, a welcoming ceremony was held to welcome the arrival of the Qi State Literary and Art Mission.

Confucius was reluctant to do 10,000, but now he is unable to protect himself, and he is reluctant to be willing. Unless! Regardless of his own life and death and the life of his family, he dared to disobey.

This theatrical performance was a great success and won the appreciation of the Qi State Mission.

In order not to lose face, the Qi Literature and Art Mission let more than 100 of their beautiful women dance a collective square dance.

After the welcoming ceremony, Confucius went home sullenly. It's true! He wanted to die, but he couldn't do anything about it. At this time! He felt the power of power deeply. Everything is small in the face of power.

Resistance is ineffective! In this era of monarchy, resistance is not only ineffective, but also ineffective. That is to say: you die trying to express your demands, and your demands cannot be expressed. If they charge you a crime, they will kill you. Even! Kill all your family.

Maybe? Just like the workers who built the mausoleum, anyone who knew about these things could have died innocently.

Kill everyone they suspect will leak the news, and what's the use of saying you have a request?

What is called killing people and destroying mouths, this is probably called killing people and killing mouths!

So! Confucius did not want to make a senseless sacrifice, so he had to bear it silently.

After the welcoming ceremony was over, after Confucius left, the literary and artistic missions of the Qi State were stationed in Ji's mansion to begin their "political purpose" and dance to Ji Huanzi.

Qi came in the form of people-to-people exchanges this time, so! Didn't go to the Lu Palace.

The more than 100 beauties sent this time are all courtesans, and they are specially from the Qi State to corrupt the high-level officials of the Lu State. Send away the idle people, and carry out a substantive performance.

In modern language, it's dancing.

It is too civilized and subtle to say that it is dancing and dancing. Its actual! It's the dance that takes off your clothes layer by layer. Just so confuse you and get you on that kind of dance.

It's just like the A11V film made by the little ghost country, it is used to degenerate your nation, so that the men and women of your nation will enter the age of madness, and then completely degenerate......

Because people came premeditated, so! After the show officially began, the miscellaneous people were driven away. Ji Huanzi was embarrassed to look at it at first, so he naturally drove away the idle people around him. As the show deepened, when the clothes of the Qi national courtesan were almost taken off, he couldn't hold it.

Afterwards! What happened, there is no need to say more.

Every day, there are bewitched beauties, **, let others do it, who doesn't want to watch it every day, watch it all the time, and watch it when you wake up?

The song and dance troupe of Qi State is not only like this in Ji Huanzi's family, but also secretly in the homes of other ministers. Sending ten or eight beauties quietly over at a time can corrupt this minister.

Regarding the dancing and dancing of courtesans, in fact, it has long been quietly popular among the corrupt nobles of the Lu State and the Great Zhou Dynasty. It's just that! There is no publicity. In aristocratic circles, there is no longer a mystery.

But! The official and public performance still started from the Qi country. It can be said! The country of Qi is the birthplace of the courtesans.

At the end of the rehearsal, Si Kou was indirectly dismissed, and Confucius was idle. But! As the titular Si Kou, he has to go to the Lu Palace every day, and then go home after a turn.

Since the literary and artistic mission of the Qi State came, in the court of the Lu Palace, Ji Huanzi and others will not come. In terms of major state affairs, they have all returned to the Ji Pingzi period, and all the ministers are working in their own homes.

So! The Lu Palace has become as deserted as this season. Occasionally, the north wind howls and occasionally snows heavily.

At last! Confucius simply did not go to the court.

After Fang Zhong escorted the literary and artistic delegation of Qi State, he sent a bus to Ji Huanzi and Lu, and hurried back to Feiyi.

Until now, the troops of Qi stationed on the border of Qilu have not retreated due to the arrival of the song and dance troupe. The state of Qi had reasons, one was to say that it was to deal with the Jin state, and the other was that it was inconvenient for the army to evacuate in the cold and snow.

Fang Zhong didn't want to see the army of Qi set foot on the land of Lu State, he was doing his best to communicate privately with the Qi State side. If the communication fails, he can only reluctantly take on the burden of protecting the motherland. When the time is right, he can also assist other people in the royal family to become Duke Lu and squeeze out Ji Huanzi and others.

Confucius wanted to talk to Fang Zhong alone, but Fang Zhong didn't give him time. In desperation, I can only "go with the flow".

But! Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the spring festival is coming.

Before the Spring Festival, Ji Huanzi and others emerged from the world of flowers and flowers to preside over the Spring Festival.

No matter how faint and happy you are, you can't forget such a major event as the Spring Festival. Furthermore! The things that were corrupted by the singing and dancing of the Qi State can't let people from the outside world know. Even! Including the people in the Lu Palace.
