Chapter 626: Confucius has been in office for four years
Mobile reading
Yang Hu, a retainer of the Ji family, after being in a high position, his ambitions swelled and he held his master hostage. After Ji Huanzi escaped, he joined forces with Sanhuan to attack Yanghu, but Yanghu failed and left the country of Lu.
After the defeat, the power of the Lu State was reshuffled. No! It is the reshuffling of power within the Ji family. At this time, under the recommendation of the minister of Lu, Confucius was invited to come out as an official, and Confucius agreed.
In 501 BC, in the ninth year of Lu Dinggong, Confucius was 51 years old. He is an official, and he is the commander of the office. Governance for one year, outstanding achievements, Quartet.
In 500 BC, the tenth year of Lu Dinggong, Confucius was 52 years old. From the middle capital to the small Sikong, and then to the big Sikou, the camera.
Summer! With Lu Dinggong and Qi Hou met in Jiagu. Confucius was vigilant and prepared in advance for Qi to invite Lu Jun to meet in Jiagu, so not only did the plot of Qi State kidnap Lu Dinggong fail to succeed, but also! forced the State of Qi to promise to return the land of Yun, Xiang, and Guiyin that had occupied the State of Lu.
Under the vigorous role of Confucius and the impromptu play, the state of Qi finally stood on a united front with the state of Lu, and Qi and Lu formed an alliance. At this time! Qi, Lu, Wei, and Zheng formally allied.
In 498 BC, the twelfth year of Lu Dinggong.
Confucius was 54 years old, Lu Sikou, and had a certain position of power in the Lu country. He felt that the opportunity had come to develop his ambitions and promote his doctrinal ideas. So! And he became bolder.
The rebellion of the Lu State is responsible for Sanhuan. The three Huan ruled together, and eventually turned the king into a puppet. So! After having a certain amount of power, Confucius began to follow the path of Lu Zhaogong and weaken the three Huan.
Only by weakening the power of the three huans and concentrating the power in the hands of the king can it be conducive to unified governance and governance of the country. The emergence of many governments, or the emergence of the "Ji family", is not conducive to unified governance, the unified governance of the king, and the authority of the king.
In order to weaken Sanhuan, it is necessary to fall into Sandu.
In the beginning, the Shusun clan and the Jisun clan supported Confucius's idea in order to weaken the power of the retainers.
Yang Hu is a good example. If the power of the retainers is too great, they will stand on their own feet and do not listen to their masters.
But! This action was resisted by the retainer of the Mengsun clan. The Mengsun clan secretly supported the public virgin father and opposed the fall of the three capitals.
On Ji's side, there was also a problem.
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 Wu) hid in the palace of the Ji family, the platform of Wuzi.
In fact! Not only did the Mengsun family resist alone, but everyone who had a certain amount of power resisted. Thereinto! Including Fang Zhong, the door-to-door son-in-law of the Ji family.
Fang Zhong's status in the Ji family should not be underestimated. Especially since Fang Zhong accepted Lao Tzu's Taoism, he has become even more bold and open, competing for power.
Some people say that Taoism is to go with the flow, retreat, retreat, do nothing, etc., but in fact it is not. These statements were all made by later generations of academic spies in order to slander Taoist doctrine and ideology and elevate their own academic ideological status.
And the true Taoist doctrine of thought is a fight for survival! Survival is the bottom line, and all factors that affect one's own survival must be eliminated.
Anyone who affects their own survival is an enemy!
Although Taoism says that "life is only a process of life", the meaning and purpose of life is to live to old age. To live naturally and to die naturally is to live a complete life. So! Survival comes first.
The Taoist philosophy of life is: do not affect the survival of others, but do not be affected by the survival philosophy of others.
Someone else's philosophy of survival has seriously affected my survival and freedom, then! Others are my enemies. To deal with the enemy, the Taoist method is: survival is the bottom line! I'll try to avoid you, and when you're closing in until I can't survive, I'm going to fight back. My counterattack is thorough: if you don't let me live, I'll let you die in turn!
This is the cruelty of survival!
So! Taoism is not unconditionally avoided! It's not what later generations of academic spies preached: go with the flow, retreat, retreat, do nothing, etc., but! When a problem is found, it will take the initiative. It is impossible to wait until the enemy puts the knife to the neck before counterattacking.
You know that someone else is here to kill you, so why do you have to wait until someone else puts a knife to your neck before resisting? Isn't it?
Knowing that others have bad intentions towards you, why do you have to wait until others are revealing their true colors before resisting? Isn't it?
Of course! It's not that we want to be like today's rice country and little devils, and assume that others are enemies. Assuming that others are enemies seems to be ahead of your consciousness is actually a pathology, and it is a reasonable excuse to bully others.
So! The things advocated by later generations of academic spies: going with the flow, staying behind, retreating, doing nothing, etc., are all brainless nonsense. And if we believe it, then we are stupid!
People are talking nonsense brainlessly, and you still believe it, aren't you stupid?
People let you: go with the flow, retreat, retreat, do nothing, etc., that is not interpreting Taoist doctrine, but! Let you wait for death! Or rather! Teasing you and other mentally handicapped plays, playing with you as a monkey.
Deliberately misinterpreting inaction, retreating, retreating, going with the flow, etc., is actually telling you to wait for death. When you come to your senses, you don't talk about them as academic spies, but think that it is the fault of Taoist doctrine and thought.
This is the insidiousness and purpose of academic spies.
"What does he want to do?" After Fang Zhong learned the news, he summoned several retainers in the three huans and held a secret meeting to express his thoughts. "Does he want to do the opposite? Does he want to be the second Yang Hu and Gongshan Fu? ……”
Under Fang Zhong's interpretation, everyone else thinks: Why did Confucius do this? His purpose is obvious: he wants to weaken Sanhuan's power and then expand his own power. He waved the banner of serving the country and the people, and once he succeeded, his power became strong. When his power becomes stronger, who can guarantee that he is not the second Yang Tiger and Gongshan Fufu?
"Power! In the hands of the monarch, we are strongly supportive! Can be powered! We must not fall into the hands of some people with ulterior motives......"
"Yes, yes, yes! Since he Kongqiu became his boss Kou, he has to make inches! ”
"That's it! It is! The prestige of his Kongqiu has already surpassed that of the monarch! What does this mean? It shows that he wants to be opposed! ”
"I think anyway! The power and prestige of a courtier surpassing that of the king is the beginning of a rebellion......"
Fang Zhong was naturally exaggerating and overinterpreting. But not exactly, since the Yanghu incident, his fiefdom has also been threatened. After the abolition of the three capitals, it is inevitable to abolish the "small capital".
Xiaodu, that is, people from the Di Ji family like Fang Zhong, the power they established in their fiefdoms.
To put it bluntly, Confucius wanted to attack the hereditary aristocracy.
The hereditary aristocracy had their own fiefs and military power, and that's just a little bit. At the critical moment, it is necessary to send troops. All the nobles of high status had to support the head of the family.
Only by weakening all the military power of the hereditary nobles can the power of Sanhuan be truly weakened.
The hereditary aristocracy has no power and military power, and they are still a mess? In particular, once the military power is gone, it can only be slaughtered by others.
So! Fang Zhong had to take into account this practical problem.
To know! He is just a son-in-law of the Ji family, once the "Dadu" is abolished, it can be imagined! The next thing to waste is Xiaodu. And he was the first to suffer.
So! He insisted on opposing the three of them.
