Chapter 42: In Search of the Saint

After getting acquainted with Lu Zhaogong and the ministers of Lu State, in order to wait for the two concubines to become pregnant, Fang Jishi stayed.

Don't know what's going on? Two months passed, and the best time to conceive on both occasions had passed, but the two were not conceived.

This made Fang Jishi a little suspicious: has he lost his fertility since that injury?

To know! On that occasion, in order to defend the motherland on the border of the motherland, he was not allowed to allow enemy elements to smuggle military supplies into the country, and he almost died on the border. He and his comrades-in-arms did not accept the huge bribes offered by the inner ghosts, and resolutely stopped the smuggling activities of the enemy elements. Outcome! Fighting alone, he did not die at the guns of the enemy, but he was exhausted alive.

Fortunately, at the most critical moment, reinforcements from the state side came, which saved their lives.

Few people in ancient times knew about a woman's conception day, especially in the Spring and Autumn period, and even fewer people knew about it. There are only a handful of people who know how to conceive, except for doctors. Most people don't believe it, don't accept it.

didn't get the concubine pregnant for two months, Fang Jishi was very anxious and suspicious, but Lu Zhaogong and the others didn't doubt it and thought it was normal.

They think: What if it was so easy to get pregnant? What king doesn't have children and grandchildren? A king has "three palaces and six courts", how many concubines can he conceive?

Fang Jishi didn't want to have children, he didn't mean that. But! He just wanted to confirm: Did he lose his fertility?

If you lose your fertility, seriously! What is the meaning of the life that has passed through in addition to love and 2 love?

After getting acquainted with Lu Zhaogong and the ministers of Lu State, in order to wait for the two concubines to become pregnant, Fang Jishi often took the guards to play inside and outside the capital of Lu in his free time. He had a new idea, he wanted to find our sage, Mr. Confucius.

If it is in modern society, Baidu map and look up the home address of Sage Kong, I believe that there will be results soon. He also really searched for the location of Confucius Mansion on Baidu Map, and the result! There is no comparison with the real world at all. More than 2,000 years have passed, and it has long been unrecognizable.

Under the scoundrel, he had to inquire.

What disappointed him again was: the young Confucius, our sage, was not famous at all at this time, and no one knew that there was a person named "Kongqiu" in the capital of Lu State?

There is that feeling of "there is no such person"!

The last time I inquired about Lao Tzu, the ancestor of Taoism, I also had this feeling, and the people of Lu didn't know that there was a person named "Lao Tzu" in this world? Later, I heard some from Lu Zhaogong.

You said you were looking for the Taoist ancestor, but no one knew. You said that you were looking for Chen Guo's Li Er, but no one knew. You said that you were going to Luoyi in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to find Li Er, the Tibetan guard of the Great Zhou, but no one knew. At last! Speaking of the young white-haired "Lao Tzu", Lu Zhaogong said: This Lao Tzu is not a Tibetan official, he is a celebrity around the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After such a twist and turn, I found out a little bit of news from Lao Tzu.

Lao Tzu is not famous for his knowledge, but! Famous for his teenage gray hair.

As you can imagine! Confucius was twenty or thirty years younger than Lao Tzu, and now he is only seventeen years old, so naturally no one knows.

Anyway! Fang Jishi has time, before the concubine is not pregnant, he will not leave the country of Lu, find it slowly!

When searching on the Internet, the search results keep popping up like this:

In 535 B.C., the tenth year of King Jing of Zhou, the seventh year of Duke Lu Zhao, the mother of Confucius Yan Zheng died, and shortly thereafter, the Ji family invited a first-class nobleman, Confucius went to the banquet, and was rejected by the Ji retainer Yang Hu.

In 535 BC (the seventh year of Lu Zhaogong), Confucius's mother Yan Zheng died. It's the year. The Ji family invited the first-class nobles to the banquet, and Confucius went to the banquet, but was rejected by the Ji family's retainer Yang Hu.

In the seventh year of Lu Zhaogong, Confucius was seventeen years old. Mother Yan Zheng died in front.

Before 535 BC (17 years old), Confucius lost his mother ("The Family of Confucius").

……

How? They are: Ji's banquet invited scholars to a first-class nobleman, Confucius went to the banquet, but was rejected by Ji's retainer Yang Hu.

Did you offend the engineer in charge of reviewing the search results? Always turn over the old accounts of the saints and expose the shortcomings of the saints?

Still is? Do you want me to go to this Confucian saint?

Don't? The purpose of our cornerstone is to protect him and spread Confucianism?

That's right! Since the retainer of the Ji family, Yang Hu and Confucius look about the same, and! Last time, I heard that Yang Hu also went to find trouble with Confucius, why don't I go and find Yang Hu?

Now Fang Jishi is not only no longer afraid of Yang Hu's frame, but also the opposite, Yang Hu is very afraid of him.

After inquiring about the specific address of the young Confucius from Yang Hu, Fang Jishi looked for it.

It's a pity! After arriving at the home of the young Confucius, he did not find the future Confucian saint.

The door of the young Confucius's house was not locked, it was hidden. After shouting "Kongqiu" a few times, no one answered, and Fang Jishi did not go in.

At this time, a lame young man came out of another courtyard and looked at him with a pair of frightened eyes. His eyes were filled with fear, and his legs seemed to be trembling slightly.

Before coming, Fang Jishi took a look and knew that this lame young man might be Confucius's brother, and his name was Meng Pi.

Meng Pi had a leg disease and could not engage in heavy physical labor, so his life was very difficult. So! Mother Confucius took him by her side and raised and took care of him as her own son.

After the death of Confucius's mother, the young Confucius could not bear to abandon his brother, so he lived with his brother.

"You? Come here! Fang Jishi beckoned to Meng Pi and greeted.

He didn't come on horseback today, he came on foot. didn't bring many people, just a few guards sent by Lu Zhaogong.

Lu Zhaogong wanted to protect his safety, and secondly, to "monitor" him, so he sent a few people to follow him. These people are Lu Zhaogong's diehards, and they can't be driven away.

"Come here! The great god asked you to come over! Hear no! One of the guards stepped forward quickly and shouted at Meng Pi.

Meng Pi's legs trembled in fright, but he still limped over quickly.

"Is this the home of Confucius? Are you Confucius's brother Meng Pi? Fang Jishi hurriedly greeted him and asked.

"Holes? Hole? Hole? Kongqiu is my brother! He! He! He! He is not Confucius! He! He's Kongqiu! Hill! Meng Pi replied tremblingly.

His face also changed, and then he asked anxiously, "Qiu, what did he do wrong?" Let the officials find it? Chutta ......"

Seeing that Meng Pi had misunderstood, Fang Jishi hurriedly interrupted: "No! I'm here for you! I'd like to make friends with him! ”

"Chuta?" Meng Pi saw that the other party didn't seem to have malicious intent, so he was relieved. When I heard that the other party was here to make friends, I suddenly became excited again. said: "Qiu is not at home, he must go to the river in a daze." ”

"Went to the river in a daze?"

"Qiu is often like this, sitting alone by the river in a daze...... "Meng Pi explained.
