"You also know Shao Le?" Qi Jinggong asked in disbelief.

Confucius nodded sheepishly.

"Legend has it that Shao music is the music of the Shun Emperor period, mainly court music. Good! Good! Qi Jinggong was very satisfied.

But he didn't know that the tune arranged by Confucius was not the tune that Emperor Shun listened to. But! The following is a tune that the officials listened to.

Only when lower-level officials go to Emperor Shun can they enjoy the music and dances that Emperor Shun listened to.

Although Qi Jinggong knew Shao Le, he didn't know the hierarchical relationship! No! He didn't understand the hierarchical relationship between music and dance.

Seeing that Qi Jinggong was very interested in Shao Music, Confucius took the opportunity to introduce Shao Music and shook out what the pianist told him.

After saying Shao Le, Confucius began to talk about Zhou Li. While explaining "Lile" to Qi Jinggong, he revealed some of his political ideas.

Confucius did not directly sell his political ideas to Qi Jinggong, only indirectly.

When he was in Lu Palace, he already knew that it was powerful. He could sell his political ideas to Lu Zhaogong, but he didn't dare to sell them to Ji Pingzi and others. This! He was very clear. If you don't get it right, it's small if you don't want to be petted, and you may have to lose your head.

When I was in Luoyi in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, no! When Lao Tzu sent him to the crossing of the Yellow River, he had already warned him, asking him to cherish life, not to be too public, and to learn the morality of water. Broad-minded and tolerant.

Furthermore! He came to Qi to become a scholar, and he wanted to rely on others. So! It can't be too direct, and it can't be unremarkable.

When Qi Jinggong started, he listened very seriously. But listening to it, it's a little impatient. Saw! and those who are of him arise. Seeing that Confucius was still chattering, he stood up, walked to the ranks of dancers, and began to dance.

Confucius saw that Qi Jinggong seemed to be a little impatient, so he didn't dare to tremble anymore. Seeing Qi Jinggong dancing in the team, he also stood behind Qi Jinggong and danced along.

When the honor guards of the three armed forces saw that Qi Gong was in the ranks, they all became serious. Outcome! After half a morning's effort, the show was successfully rehearsed.

The rehearsal was successful, and at the request of Confucius, Qi Jinggong left the team and sat on the king's seat to officially watch the performance.

Confucius stood in front of the guard of honor of the three armed forces and commanded.

Under his direction and under the supervision of Qi Jinggong, the performance was very successful. Have fun and dance! It's a pity that there is no song.

According to historical records, Shao music is a trinity of music, dance and song.

Of course! Confucius didn't know this. He listened to the pianist and didn't see the history books in this area.

When he was in Luoyi in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, he stayed too short and did not see the ancient books of Shao music in the Zhou Tibetan room.

Furthermore! The ancient books in the Eastern Zhou Zhou collection room are not comprehensive. When the Western Zhou Dynasty moved to Luoyi in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, there were many ancient books that had not been moved. Maybe? The ancient books about Shao Le have not been moved.

Lao Tzu didn't talk to him about music, not to mention music, he read the ancient books of Zhou Li, and he was scolded by Lao Tzu.

Lao Tzu scolded: If you don't understand what a person is, how can you know what etiquette is?

Rites don't let him touch, so! Lao Tzu won't talk to him about music, let alone Shao Le.

When he was talking to Chang Hong, Chang Hong didn't mention Shao Le, as if he didn't understand Shao Le.

Chang Hong's Shao music is inherited from the master and the master, and it is so "pure music", and he does not understand the ancient Shao music.

Maybe? Chang Hong only cares about his music, and he hasn't had time to talk about Shao music.

As a disciple of Shi Kuang, it is impossible for Chang Hong not to know Shao Le.

Oh! Legend has it that Shi Kuang was blind. Even if he was proficient in Shao music, he could not read the ancient books about Shao music.

In a word! Confucius did not receive any information about Shao music from Chang Hong.

Confucius's understanding of Shao music was entirely obtained from the pianist.

The rehearsal was a great success, and in order to reward Confucius, Qi Jinggong not only gave him a reward of gold, silver and jewelry, but also a table of wine and feast.

Before leaving, Qi Jinggong explained again, and then went to the harem and got together with the concubines.

When Confucius was rehearsing a ceremonial program in the courtyard of the imperial palace, Qi Jingcheng was like a rooster out of the cage in the morning, flapping his wings and reveling with his concubines.

For a long time after that, Qi Jinggong did not come to Confucius to rehearse the show. When he was leaving, he handed over dozens of rehearsals to Confucius.

For example: If the Son of Heaven comes to the Qi Kingdom, what kind of etiquette should they use to receive the Qi Kingdom? And then! Let Confucius prepare this program for him.

For example, when the king of Chu or Jin comes, what kind of etiquette should he be used to receive him? And then! Let Confucius prepare this program for him.

For example, when the kings of other vassal states come, what kind of etiquette should they be used to receive them? And then! Let Confucius prepare this program for him.

For example, when a big man from another vassal state comes, what kind of etiquette should he use to receive him? And then! Let Confucius prepare this program for him.

For example: When a celebrity in the Great Zhou World comes, what kind of etiquette should he use to receive him? And then! Let Confucius prepare this program for him.

And also! There can't be just one etiquette. When receiving the Son of Heaven, there will be different music and dance and lyrics every day.

Therefore! Confucius had countless works.

First of all! He had to prepare a copy of the show that was waiting for the bus in Qijing. And then! Then prepare a backup program.

Confucius was very depressed, but he had to continue to rehearse for Qi Jinggong.

He believes! As long as you are an honest person and do things, you will definitely have the opportunity to meet Qi Jinggong, and you will definitely have the opportunity to sell your political ideas to him.

With this in mind, he worked for months. In the blink of an eye! It's winter. Someday! He just knew! His homeland, Lu Guo, had an accident.

The monarch of the motherland Lu State, that is, the later Lu Zhaogong, was defeated and driven out of Qi by Ji Pingzi's three families and went into exile. came to the country of Qi, but he did not meet Lu Zhaogong.

Since he came, he has been almost cut off from the outside world. So! When Lu Zhaogong came to Qi to take refuge, when he came to the palace of Qi State, he was not able to meet.

The fact that Confucius was a "ceremonial official" in Qi had already spread to Ji Pingzi and others in Lu State. When Ji Pingzi and the others heard that Confucius was rehearsing a show for Qi Jinggong, they all laughed at it.

"! How capable do I think he is? Originally! ! ”

"That's it! It is! What kind of official do I think Duke Qi wants to do? ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! I thought that Qi Guo was going to give the phase ......"

"What about the phase? All the talents of the Qi Kingdom are dead, and it will not be his turn to Kong Qiu! ”

"Hahaha......"

The crowd laughed maniacally.

When Lu Zhaogong came to Qi State, he came to take refuge as a fugitive monarch. So! Qi Jinggong did not receive him with the highest courtesy. Seriously! He was received only out of political necessity. If it weren't for the fact that Lu Zhaogong was used as a political bargaining chip, he might not necessarily be taken care of.

A fugitive monarch is equivalent to a wasted person, what's the use of you? In this society where profit is the priority, isn't it?

In a word! Confucius got the news that Lu Zhaogong had fled, and there was no longer Lu Gong in the Lu country. The power of Lu Guo is completely in the hands of Ji Pingzi and others. If it weren't for the international situation, a new monarch would have been established long ago.

In a word: When Confucius learned the news, the state of Lu had already changed dynasties.
