The three refer to the Feiyi of the Jisun clan, the Yunyi of the Mengsun clan, and the Yunyi of the Shusun clan.

In the thirteenth year of Lu Dinggong, in 497 BC, Confucius was the great secretary of Lu State, and in order to strengthen the monarchy, he sent Zhong by (Zilu) to fall into the three capitals.

The Zhou Dynasty had a rule that the walls of the noble princes should not exceed 18 feet, and this rule was established to prevent them from rebelling in the future.

However, there were exceptions in the later Lu State. Because! The later state of Lu was ruled by the three huans and the king. So! The three ministers of the Lu Kingdom, namely the "Three Huan": Ji Sun, Meng Sun, and Shusun controlled the general trend of the country, and began to ignore this provision.

They have a reason: we are in the same government with the king, so we are also on the same level as the king.

In order to weaken the power of Sanhuan, Confucius made the monarch Lu Dinggong fall to Sandu on the grounds of violating the Zhou system and Zhou etiquette. Fall Sandu, that is, push off the extra 18 feet in Sanhuan's house. In fact! It is to destroy the city walls and make your capital lose the ability to protect itself.

Without the city wall, there would be no situation like Yanghu, holding the master hostage and controlling the Lu country. It is also the so-called "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes". Yang Hu is not holding the Son of Heaven hostage, but holding his own master hostage, using the identity of the master to manipulate the Lu State.

In the history of the Spring and Autumn Period, there was such an incident, holding the master hostage, manipulating one side, and when the strength is strong, you can also get the edict of Zhou Tianzi, and be crowned king, marquis and so on.

Other words! If Yang Hu's actions are successful, he can actually get the state of Lu in the future and become the king of the state of Lu.

There are also examples in later generations, that is: Tian Dai Qi. And also! The later three families were divided.

Ji Sunsi, Uncle Sun Zhou Qiu, and Zhongsun He Ji all want to suppress the power of their retainers, so! Also support the fall of the three capitals. The uncle and grandson clan fell first and destroyed Yuyi. Fei Yi Zaigong Mountain did not raise troops against Lu, and led the army to attack Qufu, the capital of Lu State, Lu Dinggong and Ji Sun Si (Ji Huanzi), Zhongsun He Ji (Meng Yizi) and Shusun Zhou Qiu (Uncle Wushu) hid in Ji's palace, Wuzi's platform.

Ji's palace refers to Ji's palace in Qufu City. Sandu refers to the capital of the three huans in their respective fiefdoms, that is, the cities built by each in their own fiefdoms. The fallen three capitals are the walls of the fallen three huan in their respective fiefdoms.

The fall of the three capitals refers to the destruction of the walls of the three cities, rather than the destruction or removal of the three cities.

Confucius sent Shen Jusu and Le Qi to lead the army to defeat Gongshan Bufu, and Gongshan Bufu fled to Qi. Later, the virgin father of the Emperor of Yuyi also opposed the fall of Yiyi, so that Sanhuan began to openly oppose the fall of Sandu.

Confucius fell into the three capitals, not only because the walls of the three capitals exceeded the regulations of the Zhou Dynasty and violated the etiquette system. But! A battle for power. The fall of Sandu is just an excuse, and it is true that the teacher is famous and weakens the power of Sanhuan.

And before! During the period of Lu Zhaogong, Lu Zhaogong has been working hard to weaken the power of Sanhuan. Outcome! Not only did he not succeed, but he also became a king who fled to another country and died in another country.

And now! The person who advocates the fall of the three capitals is not Lu Dinggong, the monarch of the Lu State, but! Confucius of the Lu State.

When everyone listened to Fang Zhong's advice, they understood. Before! Lu Zhaogong weakened Sanhuan, no matter whether he succeeded or failed, the power of Lu was still on the side of the royal family, and the fat water did not flow into the fields of outsiders. And once Confucius succeeded, the power of the Lu State fell into the hands of outsiders.

Once Confucius succeeded, what was the difference between it and Yanghu's success? Isn't it? They are all outsiders, not descendants of the royal family.

The power of our Lu country and the people who inherit the king should be people from the royal family, not outsiders.

The power of outsiders can never be greater than the power of the imperial power and the hereditary nobility. Otherwise? If the power falls, the country will be destroyed.

In fact! Just as Fang Zhong said! Confucius fell into the three capitals, and the drunkard's intention was not to drink, but to promote his scholarship. Only with a certain amount of power, the power of a country, can his doctrine and ideas be popularized in an all-round way.

After a year of practicing in the middle of the capital, he became more and more confident that his doctrine and ideas were feasible. How to get the power of Lu and promote his doctrine and ideas throughout the country, Lu will make earth-shaking changes......

But Confucius never thought that he had touched the bottom line of hereditary aristocracy!

The fall of the three is in front, followed by the "fall of the small capital". The fall of the small capital also weakens the power and interests of the hereditary aristocracy.

People came step by step, and they fell to Sandu, so that Sanhuan weakened the military defense force, and then it was much easier to break through each one.

It seems that it is beneficial to the king and the people, but its most fundamental thing is that it is not good for the hereditary aristocracy, it is to completely change the fate of the hereditary aristocracy, and it is to make the hereditary aristocracy lose their past unearned lifestyle and engage in labor.

So! It is impossible for a hereditary nobility to promise you! No matter how nice and reasonable you say, you can only confuse others for a while, but you can't confuse them for a lifetime.

No! You can only confuse those in power, those who are powerful and hereditary aristocrats. The Zhou Dynasty has a history of hundreds of years, and the number of hereditary nobles is too large. Those who can still enjoy the treatment of hereditary nobility are unlikely to agree to you. Because! If you do what you do, they will be reduced to civilians, they will have to work, they will have to support themselves.

Furthermore! You follow your methods to implement your doctrine and ideas, and transform society, how old are you? Do you want to usurp the power and power of the royal family?

This is the country of Lu, and the power of the country of Lu belongs to our royal family.

Under Fang Zhong's instigation, the first to oppose it was Fei Yi Zaigong Mountain.

Gongshan Buwu and Yang Hu are both retainers of the Ji family, and he can't help when dealing with key events such as Ji Pingzi's funeral, so! got Ji Huanzi's trust. Outcome! He did not listen to Fang Zhong's advice, but instead attacked Qufu City, the capital of Lu State, and finally failed.

Fei Yi Zaigong Shan Bufu led the army to attack Qufu, the capital of Lu State, and Lu Dinggong and Ji Sun Si (Ji Huanzi), Zhongsun He Ji (Meng Yizi) and Shusun Zhou Qiu (Uncle Wu) hid in Ji's palace and Wuzi's platform.

Afterward! Confucius sent Shen Jusu and Le Qi to lead an army to defeat Gongshan Bufu, Gongshan Bufu fled to Qi, and the city wall of Feiyi was finally abolished.

But! Therefore, it also made Sanhuan see the historical situation clearly, and only then did he feel that it was a stupid thing to fall into the three, and he fell for Kongqiu's way and Kongqiu's dang.

"What? The real person behind the fall of Sandu is Fang Zhong? When Confucius learned the news, he couldn't believe it.

"It's true! Now Fang Zhong has moved his family away. The spy reported.

"Where has he gone?" Confucius asked.

"Him?" The spy reported: "He has taken refuge in the city!" ”

Yucheng, northeast of present-day Ningyang, Shandong, was the fief of the Mengsun clan.

The Mengsun clan built the city in Yu and became a private town. That is, a private city, a city built by oneself on one's own fiefdom.

Confucius's fall into the three capitals has always been resisted by the fathers of the Mengsun family. The Mengsun clan also secretly supported the public virgin father and opposed the fall of the three capitals.

Right now! Fang Zhong ran over again.
