Chapter 636: Fang Zhong betrayed Confucius
"Fang Zhong is willing to be punished!"
Fang Zhong came to the Lu Palace, and after seeing Lu Gong, Ji Huanzi and others, he knelt there, did not get up, and confessed all his "crimes" before. If it weren't for his resistance to the decree and his secret opposition, Confucius would have succeeded in falling into the Three Kingdoms. So! He was willing to accept the punishment.
"Hahaha!" Lu Gong smiled: "Okay! Good! Not only will I not punish you, but I will reward you! You are the loyal servant of the country! Hahaha......"
As a puppet king, all he can say is what he can say on these scenes. I don't need to say the rest of the story. Furthermore! Too much talk can make you lose it all! It's better to be cautious in words and deeds.
When Ji Huanzi heard this, his face changed greatly at first, and then he got better. Only now did he know that Fei Yi Zai Gong Shan Fu was against the fall of Fei Yi, and the real mastermind behind the scenes was actually Fang Zhong? But! Gongshan Fu disturbed the army and rebelled, and it had nothing to do with Fang Zhong.
Fang Zhong just asked him to defend Feiyi and prevent Confucius from falling into the city wall. But Gongshan Fu didn't listen, raised troops against Lu, and led troops into Qufu City.
The meaning of Gongshan Fu disturbs is: Since you do not obey us, and you obey Confucius, the kingdom of Lu will perish sooner or later. Since you are going to perish sooner or later, it is better for me to destroy you......
Outcome! A person loses his mind and does something wrong under the expansion of ambition. And also! He underestimated the strength of the troops in Qufu City, and by coincidence, he failed in such a daze. At last! The army was defeated like a mountain, so he had to give up his soldiers and horses and flee to the country of Qi.
This is one of them! There are still things that are not known. That is! When he captured the Lu Palace, he exposed Confucius's "conspiracy". Outcome! Confucius's men did not report these words to Confucius.
Confucius was the secretary of the Lu State, a great official, and it is understandable that his subordinates did not dare to convey these words. But Fang Zhong knew these words, and everyone at the scene knew them.
When everything was shaken out by Fang Zhong, Ji Huanzi sent someone to investigate. Outcome! As Fang Zhong said.
After learning the truth of the matter, Ji Huanzi and the others were almost paralyzed at that time. They thought that the Confucius they had cultivated was a good man who did practical things for the country and the people, and he was a good official. It turned out that it was not! People are here to weaken your power, and people are here to use the power of the king to achieve the purpose of promoting academic ideas.
Weakening Sanhuan's power is only part of the methods of Confucius. And once the power of Sanhuan is weakened and the power is concentrated in the king, he Kongqiu will gain fame and fortune. What is the end result?
Go without saying! He Kong Qiu has become the second Yang Tiger! When the time comes! He can "coerce the Son of Heaven and order the princes", hold the Duke of Lu hostage and unify the Lu country. Albeit! He is in order to save the people in the world, and uses the country of Lu as a test field, but what is the result of this?
The result is that the hereditary nobility will not exist! The king will not exist either! The end result: people's self-government......
Under Fang Zhong's interpretation, Lu Gong, Ji Huanzi and others woke up like a dream.
According to what Fang Zhong said, Confucius's crime is great, and the death penalty cannot be escaped! Other than that! It also has to be connected to the family.
Fang Zhong's move is ruthless enough, and the six relatives don't recognize it!
If Confucius was really punished, it would not only be Confucius's family who died, but also among them! and his sister Fang Qin. Fang Qin! Confucius's daughter-in-law, Kong Li's wife.
Other than that! His father, Fang Cornerstone will also be convicted.
Even! His half-brother Fang Shu, sister Fang Jian and others will all be subjected to Zhulian. His mother and aunt, as the wife of his father, naturally could not escape death.
Before betraying Confucius, Fang Zhong considered that with the current reputation of Confucius, he would not be able to die, let alone be punished by Zhulian. Because! All the actions of Confucius were for the sake of the people. Although it was not good for Sanhuan and all the hereditary nobles, and ultimately not good for the king, the people welcomed him.
So! Even if Lu Gong, Ji Huanzi and others were so angry that they wanted to kill people, they didn't dare to arouse public anger. And also! Confucius's current official position is Sikou, and he is the chief official of the Lu State. If he is killed or his family is involved, it will trigger pressure from international public opinion.
There are so many students of Confucius, all over the world, if you kill him, won't his students make a fuss?
So! Confucius now! Lu Guo can't be killed!
And also! Confucius was promoted by Ji Huanzi's people, and he killed when he said he would, which was obviously a kind of "****". Furthermore! Although Duke Lu is a puppet king, what Confucius has done seems to be very beneficial to him, and he can't let Ji Huanzi and others kill people.
Fang Zhong's betrayal of Confucius was also made after careful consideration. In order to save your own life and that of your family, in this troubled world, you have to make this kind of "six relatives do not recognize" move. That's the only way! You can save yourself and your family.
Furthermore! Confucius's fall into the Three Capitals and other ideas directly affected the right to exist of other Fang Zhong. Because! He was a hereditary nobleman of the Lu State. His wife is the granddaughter of Ji Pingzi, and his children and grandchildren can inherit the title.
Many scholars in later generations did not use their brains and followed others to talk nonsense, saying that Confucius was "the drummer of feudal thought", a supporter of feudal thought, self-denial and revenge, and so on, but in fact they were all nonsense, and they did not understand Confucius's doctrine and thought at all.
In fact! Confucius was opposed to the hereditary system of kings. It can be seen from the fall of the three capitals that he just wants to unify the monarchy, and then use the monarchy to promote his doctrine and ideas and save human society, rather than supporting the hereditary system of kings.
If you don't transform and improve society on the basis of reality, step by step, you are a fantasy that is divorced from reality and the real environment.
The purpose of Confucius and Lao Tzu's ideas is the same, to find a way to save mankind. It's just that! The starting point is different! Confucius stood on the perspective and position of reality to improve and transform society. Lao Tzu's doctrine and thought are to save mankind from the fundamental perspective and position of human nature.
Cultivation! Self-cultivation that caters to social management is the foundation of Confucius's thought. So! All practices that do not cater to social management are wrong and are not allowed. The way of life and the way of life of the kings and the hereditary aristocracy are contrary to this. So! All of them were opposed by Confucius.
So! Confucius's doctrine and thought are not to maintain and support feudal society. And quite the opposite! It's the opposite. He is using power, and he is attached to power. People have little power, and their words have no weight. Only when you have the power and the weight to speak can you effectively promote your doctrinal ideas.
So! Confucianism must be an official and use his power to promote his own doctrines and ideas.
Let it go! Don't be afraid! The people are your strong backing, and they can't kill you! Even if you die, you can leave a name for eternity!
After seeing the true face of Confucius, especially Ji Huanzi, he really wanted to kill Confucius. But! Under the pressure of public opinion, he could not move. Furthermore! When he killed Confucius, he was also slapping himself in the face! Because! You promoted people!
Right now! The only way is: I ignore you!
I think you're embarrassed to mess around in the court of the Lu Kingdom? Do you still have that face to be an official? Can you afford the losses you have brought to the country of Lu? The walls of those two cities are to be repaired at your expense! And also! What about the cost of using the army? And also! What about the potential danger to the country of Lu? And also! ……
