The guard stepped forward quickly, went in and reported that Confucius was coming.

"Let him in!" Ji Huanzi said.

The guards came out and beckoned Confucius in.

"It's okay if he's here, Lu Gong, just ask him!" Ji Huanzi said to Lu Gong.

Today is also a coincidence, why did Lu Gong leave Ji Huanzi behind, and asked about the repair of the city walls of the two capitals. And at this time, Confucius came.

Although Lu Dinggong is a puppet king through and through, he is much more shrewd than his brother Lu Zhaogong. There are many times, in order to be like a king, he will leave Ji Huanzi and others to speak alone. And then! Set up a private banquet in the study and invite these people to dinner.

In fact! Everything is done for purpose.

Lu Dinggong not only left Sanhuan's people down to talk and eat alone, but also often left the ministers in the court to come down to talk and eat alone. For example! In the past, Confucius was often left by him to talk and eat alone.

It's just that! Everyone else knows that Lu Gong is a puppet king, and everything is situationalism. Confucius was different, he thought it was the best time to promote his doctrine and ideas to Lu Gong.

Confucius had no taboos, and he was not afraid that the content of his conversation with Lu Gong would be spread. Opposite! I also want to be spread out. Such! It is more conducive to the popularization of his doctrine and ideas.

To know! Lu Dinggong is a puppet king, and there are spies around him. His every word and deed, every move was under the surveillance of Ji Huanzi and others.

So! Ordinary ministers were left alone by Duke Lu to speak, and they didn't dare to tell the truth. Generally, it is tacitly tacit, just deal with the scene and maintain a pleasant atmosphere. Afterwards! Immediately report what you have said to your master.

There is only Confucius, really.

Confucius entered the study and kowtowed to Duke Lu and Ji Huanzi in accordance with his set of weekly etiquette. And then! Take a seat at the bottom of the seat.

"What are you doing here?" Lu Gong asked.

"Back to the Lord!" Confucius arched his hand and said, "I see that the Taimiao seems to be preparing for the spring festival......

Ji Huanzi interrupted: "You better talk about the restoration of the city walls of the two capitals first!" The Lord just asked me! ”

"Yes!" Confucius had to stop asking about the spring festival at the Taimiao Temple, and prepared to introduce the restoration of the city walls of the two capitals to Lu Gong.

"The matter of the spring festival over there in Taimiao, I don't have to worry about you! I've made the arrangements! You're still in charge of the restoration of the walls! Right now! I am very worried: in this winter, although the city wall has been built, but this day is freezing, is there any problem with the firmness of the city wall? Ji Huanzi asked.

Ji Huanzi was so domineering that he didn't let Confucius ask about the spring festival at Taimiao, but he directly robbed Lu Dinggong of the opportunity to speak and asked Confucius the most embarrassing thing.

"This?" Confucius paused and said, "I asked the craftsmen to build the wall when it thawed around noon, and stopped work before it froze, and then! Spread the insulation ...... with straw mats"

The walls of the two capitals have basically regained their height, just! This winter construction is easy to be frozen, and it is indeed worrying. With such a large project, if it is reworked, the loss is conceivable.

But? Under the pressure of the army of Qi, if you don't step up construction, you will face the danger of destroying the country.

Is! Which pot is not opened, which pot is mentioned!

Confucius replied as he began to become depressed again. It's true! It's too mentally retarded to do this! How so? How did I not consider this to happen?

This Qi country! Nima Di! You're not pranking me?

Confucius really didn't expect that the actions he took in order to promote his doctrine and ideas in the country of Lu were very successful. Outcome! But it's a mess.

Under his flickering, Ji Huanzi and the others agreed, but it turned out to be a moth!

"If not! The matter of building the city wall can be slowed down! So as not to have to rework again next year! When Lu Gong heard this, he couldn't help but worry and interrupted.

"This?" Confucius did not know how to answer.

If you readily agreed, it didn't seem appropriate: what if the Qi State sent troops immediately? Your walls are not well repaired, and you will not be able to resist enemy sieges.

If you insist? The same is not appropriate: if the new wall is frozen and damaged and reworked the next year, can you afford the loss?

"We have reached a consensus with the Qi State, so we don't have to worry about the invasion of the Qi State's army!" Ji Huanzi continued: "Duke Qi said that the army of Qi is stationed on the border of Lu State is completely an illusion, not against our Lu State, but!" For the Jin Kingdom! ”

"Against the Jin Kingdom?" Confucius asked suspiciously.

"The Jin State still has the ambition of hegemony, and the Qi State is ready to join forces with us and several other countries, and is always ready. As long as the Jin State dares to move our allies, the Qi State can quickly send troops......" Ji Huanzi said the news that the envoy had brought back from the Qi State.

These news were all heard by the envoys from the Duke of Qi, and they were all said by the Duke of Qi himself.

The border of Qi and Lu is just an illusion, an illusion for the Jin State to see, in order to confuse the Jin State. In fact! It was the arrogance of the State of Qi that had the intention to combat the Jin State. Once the Jin State thought that the Qi State had no intention of opposing him and invaded other countries, the Qi State sent troops to attack the Jin State......

"Hahaha!" Lu Gong smiled: "Si Kou, don't worry!" The delegation of Qi to Lu is already on the way, and before the spring festival, you can reach Lu country! Hahaha......"

"Mission? The mission of the Qi country? "What does Confucius mean when he doesn't understand?

"Hehehe!" Ji Huanzi also smirked and said, "Si Kou, you don't have to worry about it!" It doesn't hurt to tell you! This mission was carefully arranged by the Qi State in order to show their sincerity. There are more than 100 beauties, all of whom can sing and dance. Other than that! There are also a few musicians. Reputedly! They all know Shao Le......"

"Shao Le?" Hearing that it was Shao Le, Confucius relaxed his vigilance again. Originally! He felt that Qi Guo had a conspiracy to do so. But after thinking about it carefully, I couldn't say it.

Now him! Where is the qualification to say that Qi Guo has any conspiracy? If you want to say that Qi has a conspiracy, people still say that you have a conspiracy? Is it a conspiracy for you to fall into the third place?

Thinking of the fact that he had fallen into the three capitals, Confucius was depressed. All the confidence is gone.

"Shao Le!" Ji Huanzi nodded and said: "The legend of Shaole is the music of Emperor Shun's period, which is very shocking and infectious, giving people an artistic conception. Qi Gong specially selected professional musicians, and I heard that he also arranged a lot of tracks! ……”

Lu Gong interrupted: "Wait until the envoy of the Qi State comes, let you also come to see the achievements of the Qi State in the arrangement!" We, Lu country, are very successful in etiquette. But! In terms of music, singing and dancing, there is something missing. Now! The state of Lu and the state of Qi have formed a good relationship, and it is time for the two sides to communicate. When the time comes! Let them Qi also see the etiquette of our Lu country......"

Seeing that Ji Huanzi was very unhappy, Lu Gong paused with interest.
