"When he was in Lu State, Fang Zhong had already told him, but he still didn't give up, and he still wanted to fight! Alas! Fang Jishi sighed.

"Oh! Did anyone tell him about it? "Gongzi Ying heard that someone had told Confucius about this, and felt that his words were redundant.

He didn't mean that: he wanted to drive Confucius away. Opposite! He felt that Confucius would be more conducive to defending the country by doing so.

If Confucius had learned the lesson of the fall of the three capitals of the Lu state, and had not taken such radical methods to quickly weaken the power of the king and hereditary nobles, but had first introduced the ritual system to the people, it would have been conducive to the strengthening of the country.

On the one hand, it is conducive to the strength of a country by promoting the system of etiquette to the people, so that the people of the world can become more polite and the quality of the people has been improved. And then! To be more gentle, he advised the king to be more restrained, to put the people first, to give up the luxurious life, and to lighten the burden on the people.

The burden of the people is lighter, the prestige of the king is greater, and when the country is facing invasion by foreign enemies, the people are willing to stand by the king's side and unite against foreign enemies. The state cannot guarantee the people's right to live, the people's life is difficult, and the country's demise is not a matter of concern for the people?

It's still the same sentence! When the state cannot guarantee the survival of the people, it is not my country. So! The people's lives are difficult, and the demise of the country is not perishable.

What does Confucius mean when he came to defend the country as an official and recommended his students to be officials in the defense of the country? Does he want to fight for the power to defend the country? Or is it the throne of kings?

"I can guarantee that! Confucius, he didn't mean anything else. He just wanted to push his doctrinal ideas and had no other ideas. For example, to seize the power of a country and become a king or something! This one is absolutely certain! He didn't have that in mind.

When he was in Lu State, he didn't mean this either. Even the fall of the three has succeeded, and it has successfully weakened the power of the three huans. He will not put Lu Gong in the air and become the second Ji Huanzi! So I thought! He came to defend the country, and he didn't mean that either.

Judging from his performance in defending the country, Wei Gong! That is, your father-in-law did not give him real power. gave him an official name, and gave him the same land as Lu Guo, but he had no real power. And Confucius, I heard about it, and he didn't ask for any real power. He only gave a sermon to your father-in-law and those courtiers at every opportunity, explaining his doctrine and teachings.

From this point of view! He has changed a lot. He's become very cautious. I don't want to get involved in power struggles anymore, I just want to be a scholar. ”

"That's just as well!" Gongzi Ying nodded and said, "I don't mean anything else!" I'll just talk casually and casually! But! What I'm talking about is also the actual situation, it's the truth! If someone convicts him, he will be able to find a reason.

For example! I just said that. He Confucius became a great official in the court, and recommended his students to be officials in the country, which is easy to reminisce: What does he want to do?

Isn't he the one who obviously arranges himself up and down the country? Isn't it? There are your students everywhere, and you are all your students from all over the country, aren't you cultivating your own forces? Aren't you rebelling? Isn't it? ”

"This? Hehehe! Fang Jishi said with a smile: "No wonder many people understand Taoism so well, and think it's better to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests." Do you think it's not? A good act of Confucius can arouse the conjecture of the world! Outcome! It becomes a rebellion! ”

Gongzi Ying looked at Fang Jishi and smiled bitterly.

"I didn't mean to frame Confucius! No! I'm just talking! I think! In the Patriotic Nation! Someone must think so! It's not that I'm stirring up trouble, it's just that I said it first. If Confucius! Your sir ......"

Gongzi Ying turned to Zigong and said, "If you haven't noticed this yet, Mr. Confucius, you might as well remind him, right?" Later! Don't recommend his students in front of my father-in-law anymore. He did it with good intentions, I understand! But what's the use of my understanding? If the father-in-law doesn't understand, or the other officials below don't understand, or! Do others want to nominate their cronies? So! His problem is bigger. Do you know what I mean? ”

"This?" Zigong thought for a moment and nodded, "This?" I? We haven't even thought about that, have we? ”

Zigong thought about it carefully and felt that Gongzi Ying was not alarmist, but a fact.

You think you're recommending talents to Wei Gong, but others don't necessarily think so! Others may think that you are cultivating your own power and planting people everywhere.

And also! Others really think so, and they want to plant people everywhere and cultivate their own forces. Outcome! You ruined their plans. Therefrom! He will frame you and say that you are cultivating power and planting people. That's it! It's obviously their idea, but it can be framed on your head, so you can't defend it.

"Thank you! Thank you, Childe! Thank you! Zigong got up and gave Gongzi Ying a big gift. Said: "Me! And my husband, did not think of this aspect! It's true! This may be the case! Yesterday! The gentleman also told me that he recommended his students to Wei Gong, and Wei Gong agreed. He was also very happy and said! Only by learning and excelling can you apply what you have learned! This, this, this! I'm going to go back and tell my husband about this! Timely reminder sir! ”

"Hehehe!" Gongzi Ying stopped: "Don't worry! No hurry! Don't say I said it, or else! Not only did he not accept it, but he might even suspect that I had ulterior motives! I! Nothing else! It's true! ”

Fang Jishi also stretched out his hand to stop: "What Childe said makes sense!" Zigong! You don't have to worry about this! I'll remind him when I see him. When the time comes! You just have to help on the sidelines! If you say that Gongzi Ying said it, it is likely to cause misunderstanding! You sir him! Alas! I don't know what to say! In a word! He had too little social experience. He doesn't understand the things in the officialdom! He only knows how to serve the people, but he doesn't know how not to be framed! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Thank you! Thank you! Zigong made another big gift to Fang Jishi as a thank you.

A young man brought the dishes that had just come out of the pot, and when the injured young man saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward to clean up the table and prepare to eat. The shopkeeper then came up and arranged for dinner.

After a while, everything was ready. Everyone gathered around and ate and drank. Because Zigong is the descendant of the shopkeeper's family and is a guest. So! He was also on his side.

With the shopkeeper on the scene, it was inconvenient for Gongzi Ying and Fang Jishi to talk about the topic just now, and everyone chatted while drinking.

Zigong didn't dare to drink much because he was in a hurry, but only drank some out of coping. After the banquet, he invited Gongzi Ying and Fang Jishi to the Confucius Academy. And then! Hurriedly said goodbye.
