Time passed day by day, and I didn't know how many months had passed.

Confucius led the same as the Si Lu when he was in the Lu State, but he didn't have to do anything serious. If you want to talk about going to work and doing things, that is, in order to pretend to be forced, Wei Gong, the king of the country, came to him to talk to him and ask how to govern society.

Every time Duke Wei asked Confucius to go over to interrogate, he had to pretend to be forced, and called all his courtiers over, and hundreds of civil and military officials gathered together. And then! Wei Gong asked, Confucius replied. After asking what you want to ask, let the other ministers ask as well.

Whenever a minister disagreed with Confucius, Duke Wei would glare at him or reprimand. After many times, the ministers also understood what Wei Gong meant: Confucius was not invited to be a big official, but to put him on a show.

What does it look like?

is to prove: Wei Gong reuses talents, and Confucius can't get along with such a great talent in Lu State, but he gets the respect and treatment that a talented person deserves in Wei Guo.

So! What are you singing against Confucius?

You're not going against Confucius, you're going against Wei Gong.

These ministers are better than ghosts, and after suffering a few losses, they will no longer contradict Confucius. Opposite! Confucius said in the front, and they echoed in the back.

"Sir's right!"

"Yes, yes, yes! We should repent! Only by self-denial can society be cured. ”

"Tax cuts! Tax cuts are a must! All of us must give up our extravagant lives and make a revolution ......"

"Isn't life all about living? Oh, yes! Oh, yes! If you eat too much, you will waste it, and a bubble of will be gone, and we will eat less and eat more in the future. ”

At this time, Confucius absorbed Taoist ideas in his lectures. For example, he often mentions that life is short, and life is just a process of life, so it should be cherished. And also! Taoist Nutrition. Taoists believe that eating should pay attention to nutrition, not taste. Don't be gluttonous, etc.

In the court of the patriotic country, the ministers have learned well, and they all echo him and do not carry it with him. Confucius also took advantage of this opportunity to spread his improved doctrine and ideas. And also! He has also learned to be obedient, no longer forcing others to accept it, and no longer having to be understood. It's up to you whether you listen or not, and whether you're willing to accept it or not.

In fact! This is also the content of Taoist thought. Taoism believes: do your duty, do your best! As long as I have done my duty and ability, it is your business whether to listen or not. As a human being, I only need to convey the correct doctrine and ideas, convey them when I have the opportunity, see the stitches, and do my best to shine as much as I can.

Confucius in ordinary times, like in the country of Lu, opened a teaching hall and became a teacher. Of course! According to the old rules, he only taught college students, and middle school and elementary school students were handed over to Zilu, Min Ziqian, Yan Hui and others.

Since settling down in Weiguo, I have followed many students. Confucius took advantage of the opportunity to speak with the Duke of Wei and recommended his students to serve as officials in various parts of the country.

"Whether they are qualified for this official position, you will know as soon as you use it! No way! Send them away! ”

Under the guarantee of Confucius, Wei Gong naturally wanted to give him this face.

I thought: yes! Since it was recommended by you, then! If they can't do it, you're slapping yourself in the face.

Since several students became officials in the defense of the country, Confucius had a new job to do. That is: instructing students on how to be officials.

Now him! Although he was appointed as a big official by Wei Gong, he was an empty official, with no real power, only a false name. Now him! I suffered a loss in the country of Lu, and I don't want to be in politics anymore.

It is okay for students to be petty officials, and they can also do some practical things. And as a great official, you don't have absolute power, you can't govern at all. Although you are a great official, no one listens to what you say. So! It is not appropriate to be a local official in this way.

Today's Confucius is not to be an official and have real power, but to be famous. Only if he has a reputation outside and the title of a big official, then he is not a slap in the face. Otherwise! Ji Huanzi and others in Lu State, don't laugh at him?

Right now! The king of the kingdom really set up a palace banquet and invited him to dinner. He feels very face-saving and self-respecting! With this incident, he slapped Ji Huanzi and the others in the face. Didn't you say that no one invited me to a court feast? This is not? When I came to Wei Gong, Wei Gong invited me to eat, and I was Wei Gong's guest.

Although Duke Wei just used him as an ornament, this was enough for Confucius to save face and invisibly slapped Ji Huanzi and others in the face.

Confucius, who was usually in peace, lived in an inn at the beginning. Afterward! He lived at Zilu's brother-in-law's house. Zilu's wife used to be a Song national, and her family moved there many times later. His brother-in-law bought a property in the capital of Weiguo, and he usually does not live here because he is busy with business. So! Let Zilu and Confucius live, which is equivalent to renting. Confucius's school is also located here.

In troubled times, sometimes it's easy to get rich. In order to save their lives, rich people often sell their real estate at a discount when they flee, in exchange for money, and easily get on the road. So! Sometimes with a bit of luck, you can buy a property that someone else has given up for very little money.

Even! Sometimes you have helped others, and in return, others will give you extra properties elsewhere. As for how Zilu's wife and brother got this property, it is unknown, and there is no need to check the evidence.

In order to keep his distance, Fang Jishi hid in the capital of the patriotic country and did not go to find Confucius. Seeing that Confucius seemed to have changed as a different person and was no longer so positive, he was relieved.

But! Recently! Confucius's orderly life, his new life, was interrupted.

How did Confucius gain a foothold in defending the country?

Most of the speculation in the history books is that it is because Zilu's wife and brother are in the capital of the country that they have a foothold. Not really! It's Nanzi!

If it weren't for Nanzi's kind words in front of Wei Gong and highly recommended, Wei Gong would not ask about these trivial matters. The business of managing the country is the business of the ministers. He only came forward when someone mentioned something important in front of him.

Wei Gong's "inaction" method of governance is very effective, and when his ministers compete with each other or fight with each other, they often do things well. If you don't do it well, your opponent will use it to fix you.

Wei Gong has the same means of "imperial technique" as the emperors in modern TV dramas, such as Zhu Yuanji, Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong.

Nanzi saw that Confucius became a great official and did not go to see her after receiving the title of Defending the Country, and he was very unhappy.

I thought, "Who are you?" You? If it weren't for me Nanzi, you would have been able to become an official in the country so soon? Have you eaten the fruit and forgotten the tree? Drink water and forget to dig a well!

In the defense of the country, there is an unwritten rule. That is: when the big people come to Weiguo and handle the affairs of the country, they have to bring valuable jewelry and other places to visit this Wei wife Nanzi.

Wei Gong is also proud of this, and others are not going to give Nanzi any gifts, but to see Nanzi's beauty.

Nanzi's beauty can be seen from this.
