Chapter 497: Greetings and Asks
After talking about the changes in the palace, Ziluo, Zinian and his son asked about Confucius's visit to Luoyi.
Under Zi Nian's introduction, Zi Luo remembered that it was as if they had said this "Confucius" before.
Originally! Is he Confucius?
Ziluo couldn't help but glance up and down Confucius a few more times.
The person in front of him, except for his tall stature, seems to have nothing special. His face is a little ugly, but there is no evil in his face, and he is a kind and honest person.
After confirming that this person was an honest man, Ziluo didn't care about more. The image of Confucius in his mind has become ordinary.
"Mr. is a talented man of Lu State, and he is also a talented man today, and Mr. still wants to learn from Lao Tzu? Asked? Zi Nian asked a little puzzled.
"Greetings! Kong Qiu is here to greet him! Confucius quickly explained.
"Greetings?"
"Greetings!" Confucius affirmed.
"Hehehe! ...... "I heard that Confucius came to ask for a salute, not to ask Lao Tzu, Ziluo couldn't help but "hehe".
I thought: What about the saints of the future? If he were a future saint, he would not have come to ask for a salute, but to "ask." Today, how many people still abide by the weekly rites and the weekly system? The king has not obeyed it, and you still ask for the salute? Do you still preach the weekly rites and the weekly system? Are you taking the world for fools?
The world needs rules, codes of conduct and etiquette, but the world needs rules to ensure the survival of the people.
Survive! It is what the people of the world urgently need! The rules of survival! It is what the people of the world need most.
Etiquette! It's a fake set!
Fools know that the king ostensibly talks about etiquette and asks others to bow down to him. And the king himself just strongly demanded that others follow, and they themselves did not follow the rules of the weekly etiquette and the weekly system to behave and do things.
So! The Zhou rites and the Zhou system are just used by kings to restrain the world!
You have followed the rites and systems of the week, but neither the king nor anyone else has followed them. At last! It is those of you who follow the weekly rites and the weekly system that suffer. In the end, those who followed the Zhou Rite and the Zhou system were all "fools" and were bound by the Zhou Rite and the Zhou system.
So! The world does not need weekly rites and weekly systems, but! The law of survival is needed! There needs to be a survival rule that works for everyone......
Now Ziluo, after listening to Lao Tzu's sermons several times, has a good understanding of Taoist theories. So! When he heard that Confucius had come to Lao Tzu to "ask for gifts", not to "ask questions", he couldn't help but despise him.
"Now Mr. Lao Tzu, he doesn't live in the Zhou Zang Room anymore, and he rarely comes back. If you want to meet him, you really need a coincidence! It's hard to want to meet him without fate! Zi Nian sighed.
Even now, it is difficult for him to see Lao Tzu. Let alone! Confucius did not have an "appointment" and ran over blindly. So! If you want to see Lao Tzu, it really depends on fate.
Hearing Zinian say this, Confucius's face changed on the spot.
"But there's no hurry!" Fang Jishi persuaded: "I want to think of a way, since I am here, the Zhou Zang Room must enter." Lao Tzu is not here, we also have teachers! Reputedly! Most of Lao Tzu's knowledge is due to reading the books in the Zhou Library. So! Those books in the Zhou library are the best teachers......"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Ziluo echoed: "It is said that before Lao Tzu came to Luoyi in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, his knowledge was like that, although he was a talent, he was not the first talent in the world. Since entering the Zhou Library, I have looked at the books in the Zhou Library, sorted out the books in the Zhou Library, and become the ...... of the world's first talent."
"It is said that in the Western Zhou Dynasty, only two people read the books in the Zhou Library. One of them died before he could write down his thoughts. Outcome! He looked at it for nothing, and no one knew what he was getting.
In the other of them, he also read all the books. Unfortunately! He didn't have time to write down his thoughts, so he went crazy. Outcome! He looked at it in vain, and no one knew what he had learned.
Lao Tzu is the third person! But sadly! Lao Tzu did not read the entire collection of books in the Western Zhou Dynasty, he only read the collections that moved to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. When the Western Zhou Dynasty moved to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, there were many books that had not been moved over.
So! Lao Tzu didn't even finish reading the entire collection of books in the Zhou room.
But! But Lao Tzu enlightened. Lao Tzu obtained his theory of 'Taoism' from these only surviving books in the Zhou Collection. Moreover! His Taoist theories are widely recognized in society......"
Fang Jishi wanted to see King Zhou Jing, and Confucius could only enter the Zhou Tibetan Room with the permission of King Zhou Jing. In this matter, it is more appropriate for him to come forward.
Ziluo and Zinian are both courtiers of King Jing of Zhou, and they have nothing to do with the affairs of the Zhou Tibetan room, so it is inconvenient to bring them up. Furthermore! The cornerstone of the great god Fang is here, and they don't need to come out of this.
Again! Ziluo despised Confucius a little, and felt that even if Confucius entered the Zhou Zang Room, he would not read all the books, but! Books on Weekly Rites.
What age is this, and you still preach Zhou Li?
Ziluo obviously won't come out like this.
The relationship between Zinian and King Zhou Jing is a relationship between a monarch and a minister, and he didn't get too entangled before, so it was inconvenient to come up with this.
Fang Jishi wanted to see King Zhou Jing, and Ziluo and Zinian were both willing to contact him.
It's not so easy to see Da Zhou Tianzi. If it were so easy to see, the princes of the world would still use the palace as a vegetable garden, and they would go in and out if they wanted to. That's it! There is no distinction between kings and ministers.
Furthermore! The emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the past dynasties relied on the Jin of the princes to ask him to do things and cover the jade seal and collect tribute. If you can see it so casually, without a bit of mystery and rules, then! The tribute became a joke. Without tribute, the Zhou royal family would not be able to sustain itself, and there would be no source of income.
"I'll go back to the palace tomorrow and tell the Queen Mother directly, just say that you are here and want to see the Son of Heaven." Ha Lian said on the side.
"Hmmm! Very good! Ziluo nodded in agreement.
If he does, it's going to be a hassle. Although he can meet King Zhou Jing, he must have a reasonable reason, and he is not casually seen. You must also pay some gifts to the eunuchs and eunuchs around King Zhou Jing, so that people are willing to tell them.
"That's fine! It saves us from asking someone to tell us, lest some people wonder if our father and son have other intentions. Zi Nian also nodded and thought that it would be more appropriate for Helian to convey it.
The next day, Helian took Ziyan into the palace to meet the queen mother.
Helian saved the life of the Queen Mother, and now she has truly transformed into a "dumb princess" in the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother specially instructed that the dumb princess could enter and leave the palace freely to visit her.
Knowing that Fang Jishi had come to Luoyi and wanted to see King Zhou Jing, the Empress Dowager immediately asked the eunuch to inform King Zhou Jing.
When King Zhou Jing learned that his martial arts teacher was coming, he immediately asked people to go to Ziluo's mansion to invite someone.
Fang Jishi came to the study to meet King Zhou Jing, and the two had just talked for a while, and it was time for lunch. At the urging of the eunuch, he had to go to eat first.
