Confucius ran all night and rushed to the capital of the Song Kingdom the next day. One went out of the city and the other went into the city, just in time to meet Zilu.

"Is Song Gong willing to see me?" Confucius asked anxiously.

"Hehehe!" Zi Lu smiled proudly: "In the name of Mr., can Song Gong not see it?" ”

"That? Sima Huan killed me, does Song Gong know? Confucius asked.

Zilu's face suddenly changed, and he shook his head and said, "I don't know? I don't know if Song Gong knows? ”

"Go back and save them, I'll go see Song Gong!" As soon as Confucius gave an explanation, he entered the capital and went to the Song Palace.

When Duke Song learned that Confucius was coming, he immediately asked him to meet him in the study.

Originally! Song Gong, under the persuasion of Sima Huanwei, was reluctant to see Confucius. But I heard that Confucius became a great official in the defense of the country and was called a sage by the people of the country, so he did not listen to Huan Wei's advice and agreed to meet him on his own initiative.

In order to prevent Confucius from developing in the Song Kingdom, the Great Sima Huan Wei spoke ill of Confucius in front of the Song Duke almost every day. He has said many times that Confucius fell into the three capitals of the Lu State, saying that Confucius's fall to the three capitals is false, just to weaken the national strength of the Lu State and let the Qi State come over to destroy the Lu State.

"What is his purpose? He wanted to weaken the power of the hereditary nobles of the Lu State, the power of Sanhuan. And then! Seize power in the state of Lu. Lord, do you think about it? After falling to the three capitals, how many cities in the Lu State can resist the army of the Qi State? Isn't it? ”

Under Huan Wei's persuasion, Song Gong naturally believed it. Assurance: "Don't worry! I won't be as stupid as Ji Huanzi! Do I listen to his confucius? But! I heard that! Confucius already had the name of a sage. Since he has come to Song Kingdom, as long as he takes the initiative to come to me, I still want to see him! ”

"Lord! Can't you see him? I heard that he is very good at talking, and if he is not careful, he will be tricked! ”

Song Gong waved his arm at Huan Wei and said with a smile: "Is this Gong so easy to be tricked?" Hehehe! ……”

Guided by the guards, Confucius came to the study of the Duke of Song.

In order to engage in formality, imitate Wei Gong of the country, and earn a reputation for cherishing talents, when Duke Song saw Confucius coming, he specially greeted him from the study, took Confucius into the study, and received him with the etiquette of a VIP.

The guards and the little eunuchs were busy one by one, doing reception work.

"Sit! Sit! Sir, please be seated! ”

Under the special explanation of Song Gong, the little eunuch placed a seat and a desk close to him. Under normal circumstances, there is a certain distance between the host and the guest's seats. But under the special arrangement of Song Gong, Confucius's seat was next to Song Gong, which was closer to Keqing's position.

"Tea! Serve tea! Fragrant tea! ”

After instructing the eunuch to serve tea, he asked the guards to inform the kitchen and hurry up to prepare the banquet.

After some superficial politeness, Song Gong began to get to the point.

Saw! With a serious and humble look on his face, he asked, "Mr.'s ancestral home is the Song Kingdom, and Mr. should give advice to the Song Kingdom?" In the opinion of the gentleman? How can Song Guodang govern so that it can become strong quickly? ”

Seeing that Song Gong asked his face, Confucius took the opportunity to talk about his doctrine and theory. But! His mind is not here, but on the students' side, worried about the safety of those students. Especially! Zilu rushed over.

With Zilu's temper, if the other party is too much, he will fight. If the two sides fought, things would be big, and his students were all unarmed literati. And the other party! They were all soldiers of the Song Kingdom. Is this unclear? Going to suffer?

After hearing this, Song Jun said: Your proposition is right, but I can't use it, I can't do it.

If the people are too happy, they will forget the existence of the state and think that they are great. Later! It's hard to increase your taxes. Without pressure, there is no motivation, and when the people's lives are too rich, they will have laziness and will not be willing to work anymore. And! They will also become afraid of death.

So! Bengong believes that if you want people to always be motivated, you must put pressure on them and give them extravagant dreams. Let them work non-stop, never stopping. That's the only way! (GDP) to the next level......

Confucius was very disappointed when he heard Song Gong's "fallacies and heresies". No! There is a feeling of hopelessness. He did not give any more superfluous and useless explanations. shifted the topic to the fact that the students were trapped and he was chased and killed by Huan Wei, and told what happened.

"Also? Still? And what's going on? Song Gong heard this, and pretended to be shocked and angry.

"It's true! My students are still stuck there! There's a big tree there! We teachers and students were chilling under the big trees when a team of officials came and trapped us there. The next night, I said that I came out to find something to eat, and I escaped......"

"Call Sima to me!" Song Gong pretended to be very angry and yelled at the guards.

After a while, Sima Huan Wei was called over.

"Sima? Do you know him? Song Gong asked.

Sima Huan Wei looked at Confucius and shook his head.

"He is the Confucius of the Lu Kingdom!"

"Confucius? The sages of the Lu country? Sima Huan Wei looked adoring and asked.

"Exactly!"

"I've admired the daimyo for a long time! See you today! Mr. really lived up to his reputation...... "Sima Huan Wei was pretending to compare, but was interrupted by Song Gong.

"Lord Sima! Why did you send someone to kill Confucius? ”

When Sima heard this, he pretended to be frightened and hurriedly replied, "Lord! Nothing! Your Majesty has been wronged! ”

"Nothing?"

"Nothing!"

"That? Why did the gentleman say you were going to kill him? How could you, sir, be a sage, so how could he frame you? In broad daylight, everyone in the world knows, why did Mr. frame you? ”

"Your Majesty really doesn't know?"

"It can't be your men, right?" Song Gong asked knowingly.

"Maybe someone else borrowed my Sima's name, but it really wasn't my Huan Wei who did it? I really don't know! See, Lord. ”

"That's it! Go ahead! Find out who did it? Who is so bold? Song Gong waved his arm and sent Sima Huan away.

Afternoon! Confucius was about to say goodbye and go to the students, when Sima Huan Wei rushed over to explain to Song Gong and Confucius. Say it was a misunderstanding! Someone wanted to cut down the tree to scare people with his Sima's name.

"Cutting down trees?" Song Gong asked puzzled.

"It's a thousand-year-old tree, it's a high-quality wood, and it can make a few coffins! Lord! ......," Sima explained.

Confucius saw that Song Gong and Huan Wei were singing and playing double reeds, so he didn't break it and took the opportunity to leave.

The trip to the Song Kingdom, in addition to doing Yan Hui's business, was basically a trip in vain.

Coming out of the Song Palace, Zilu was already waiting outside the palace.

"What about them? Are they safe? Confucius asked anxiously.

"They are all well! The tree was cut down by Sima Biaohuan and made a coffin. I was worried about my husband, so I rode over. How are you, sir? ”

Confucius shook his head and said, "Let's leave the Song Kingdom!" ”

"Sir?" Zilu asked puzzled.

Seeing that Confucius ignored him, he had to follow behind.
