Leaving the State of Chen, entering the Kingdom of Song, and returning to the Kingdom of Wei on a shortcut path.

Knowing that Confucius had returned, Duke Wei was very happy and his condition was much better, and he immediately received Confucius.

In fact! There is nothing big about it, as the envoy said, Duke Wei is explaining the aftermath.

Nanzi was also at the scene, hoping that the sage man would give her ideas. Today's Nanzi is no longer naughty in the past and has become very serious. You can imagine it! She, a man of the hour, would have died sooner or later without the protection of Duke Wei. Because! She offended too many people.

So! Now she! I desperately hope that after Wei Gong, there will be a wise king, a capable king, who can not only govern the country well, but also protect her case.

Wei went to the door and mentioned the matter of the abolished prince and the son of Ying. Ask Confucius: How is Gongzi Ying?

Confucius replied truthfully, saying that Gongzi Yingren could, but he was a Taoist and might not want to involve himself in right and wrong. Wei Gong should first ask him for his intentions, and he should not force it. And then! After analyzing it, no matter what you do, you may leave future troubles. He analyzed what Gongzi Ying analyzed last time and then analyzed it to Wei Gong.

When Wei Gong heard this, he also shook his head, regretting that he was soft and did not kill the prince. If he had killed the prince ruthlessly, there would not have been so many troubles. The crown prince will not die, no matter who will inherit the throne of the country, this brute will come back to cause chaos.

After discussing the matter of Wei Gong, Confucius proposed to resign again. Like last time, Wei Gong did not agree.

"Duke Lu, as a gentleman, I should go back to the country of Lu and worship the ancestors. Woo woo woo ......" talked about the death of Duke Lu, which reminded Confucius of the past and couldn't help crying.

Seeing that Confucius was crying very sadly, Duke Wei had to agree. Oh, yes! Confucius, as a sage and a sage, his own king died, so how could he not go back to the ceremony?

"I still hope that Mr. will come to defend the country again in the future, help defend the country, and help the new monarch. I trust you, and I can't reuse you at this critical time.

I still think: you should preach more and preach to the world. Only when there are more people who understand can there be a future. What's the use of me understanding? There are so many hereditary nobles in the world, they will not agree to you, and no one will be willing to give up the happy life in front of them to pursue that illusory dream.

Alas! Your ideas are so far ahead that no one can see that far! So! I still hope that you will preach more and teach more students. Only when there are more people who understand can there be a future......"

"Xie Weigong!" After listening to Wei Gong's heartfelt words, Confucius was particularly moved.

He was not reused in the defense of the country, and the reason for this was found. It's not that Wei Gong doesn't reuse him, but! His doctrines, ideas, and political propositions are still very out of place.

Even Wei Gong can see the truth, but he is still addicted to it and can't extricate himself, where is there any reason to complain about others and the short-sightedness of the world? Obviously, it was caused by my own lack of thoughtfulness and failure to take into account the actual situation of the real environment.

Returning from the Guards, Confucius seemed a little impatient. finally resigned successfully, and there was a kind of relief from the country. And also! He really wants to go back to Lu and go home now.

"Sir? What are we? Zilu heard that Confucius's resignation was successful, but he was a little overwhelmed.

I thought: Where are we going without the country?

Song Guo can't go back, Zheng Guo and Chen Guo have also been. Although you have not been in contact with Zheng Gong or Chen Gong, people must know that you have been to their country. People didn't hang you when they knew you went, pretending not to know, do we still have the face to go again?

"I want to go back to Lu!" Confucius looked at Yan Hui, Zigong and others and said. He didn't dare to look at Zilu. He knew that Zilu's thoughts were different from his. provoked him, he could say anything.

"Back to Lu country?" Yan Hui looked very excited and surprised on the spot.

"Back to Lu country?" Zigong also asked in surprise.

"Duke Lu, as a courtier, I should go back and pay respects! Furthermore! I was not kicked out, I was ordered to come to the Great Zhou to give lectures. I have a letter of appointment issued by Lu Gong, and the seal of Lu Gong ......"

Zilu interrupted: "Sir! Don't talk about the appointment letter, it's just Ji Huanzi's ugly cloth, it's for show. If Ji Huanzi doesn't die, we may not be able to go back. ”

Confucius glanced at Zilu and sighed, "But we have to go back?" If we don't go back, the world will say that we don't know how to count. Get back! Ji Huanzi was unhappy again. So! I still decided: go back! Go back on a high note. Make a show to the world, and then see how Ji Huanzi will react. He doesn't want me to go back, and he'll definitely send someone to stop me. Isn't it? When the time comes! We're not going back......"

"Why is the gentleman so scheming? This is not in line with the usual style of the gentleman? Zilu didn't know whether to be sarcastic or to tell the truth.

Zigong nodded and said: "Sir has indeed changed a lot in the real world, although this is not in line with Mr.'s previous style, but it is suitable for today's world." After all! We live in real life, not in an imaginary ideal world. ”

Yan Hui and the others also nodded on the side, thinking that Mr. had changed, no longer the "Mr. Dogma" of the past, everything followed the formula, like a robot.

Confucius had made up his mind and returned to Lu to worship Lu Gong, and it was high-profile. Everyone had to follow, hoping to return to Lu and live that kind of stable life. Although the last trip was only half a year, many students couldn't stand the suffering.

In the school of the defense of the country, Confucius has already handed over all the care to Zigong, and he no longer bothered. Zigong is a businessman, and he has a set of management aspects. In the name of Mr. Confucius, not only is the fee expensive, but it is also worth the money, and the school is very good, becoming the most expensive "private" school.

Everyone packed up and prepared to leave today.

Big Brother Fang Cornerstone was like evaporating from the world, and it didn't appear. Confucius strengthened his belief and went back to the country of Lu. He knows! If the eldest brother doesn't let him go back to Lu Kingdom, he will definitely jump out to stop it. If he doesn't block it, it means that he acquiesces.

He has always believed that the eldest brother Fang Jishi is following him, but he doesn't want to get along with him and doesn't want to be implicated in his affairs.

Today's Brother Fang is becoming more and more childlike, timid and afraid.

For the sake of the revolutionary cause, can we be afraid? For the sake of ideals and dreams, can we not give? The eldest brother is too deeply "poisoned" by Taoism, short-sighted, and only sees his own life in this life......

If we all only see our own life in this life, then! The world will only be chaotic forever! Because! People have no long-term worries, but they must have near-term worries!

If we don't make a 100-year plan and live a mixed life, our children and grandchildren will only repeat yesterday's story forever. So! For the sake of future generations, our generation must make the necessary sacrifices.
