Chapter 44: The Path of the Heart and the Inheritance

Duanmu Ci was still a little dizzy at this time, he should have been by the side of a young prince now, and then he was ready to state his ideas and goals to him.

But now, he looked around, he didn't believe that this was fake, the middle-aged man or the old man in front of him was majestic and majestic, but he didn't have any recklessness and toughness, but it made people feel personable.

A wide Confucian robe was draped directly on the body of the person in front of him, which made him look very fit.

"Zigong, what are you thinking!" called again, making Duanmu Ci come back to his senses suddenly.

At this time, many, many memories suddenly appeared in his mind, about him, about the middle-aged man in front of him.

In my memory, this middle-aged man is called Kong Zhongni, his teacher, and a self-proclaimed Confucian.

And he is still Duanmuci, but he has a table word, called Zigong.

There are many brothers and sisters around him, and the guy who is as strong as the teacher is called Zilu, who is the most honest on weekdays, but there is a delicate heart under the honest appearance.

There is also a guy who has a bitter face all day long, the one who is about the same age as himself, called Min Loss, is a filial son, and he is the most filial to his parents and elders in his life.

There is also the young man who keeps talking, who seems to be younger than himself, and that is his junior brother Zaiyu.

There are also middle-aged people who seem to be about the same age as their teachers, and Ran Geng, a senior brother who speaks and does things with a clear eye.

There is also a younger brother Ran Yong, who has almost the same personality and appearance as Ran Geng.

and the younger brother Ran Qiu, who has the same father as them, but has a completely different personality.

The most important thing is the little child, that is the favorite land of his teacher Kong Zhongni, who is thirty years younger than him, and is only thirteen years old.

"Sir, I just got distracted!" Duanmu Ci bowed down and apologized directly after relieving himself.

In his memory, his teacher didn't like quibbles and reasons, if he was wrong, then he should admit his mistake directly, and knowing his mistake can improve a lot.

You can bear and make up for your mistakes, but you can't try to quibble and find reasons for your mistakes so that you can avoid punishment.

The former is a matter of ability, and the latter is a matter of character, so Kong Zhongni's first requirement for his disciples is not to make excuses for their mistakes.

Looking at Duanmuci's apology, Kong Zhongni also nodded with satisfaction.

For this disciple who always thinks about business, Kong Zhongni doesn't like it very much, businessmen pursue profits, Confucianism emphasizes morality, these two are not things that can be compared with each other.

But this disciple is very obedient, can understand his own words, and is willing to obey his own commands, and sincerely follow his own ideas.

"Since you know it's wrong, let's go and help your brothers pack their bags, I'm going to hit the road!"

"Disciple understands!" Duanmu Ci has already entered the identity of Zigong.

At this time, Duanmu Ci no longer knew what this place was, he only knew that the middle-aged man in front of him was his teacher, teaching his knowledge.

And he is still Duanmu Ci, he is also Zigong, and he is a student of Mr.

Duanmu Ci followed his teacher out of the previous city, and when they left, many people in the city rushed over to look at them, and they could see that these people were reluctant to let them go.

Duanmu Ci's memory of this period is relatively vague, and he doesn't know why the people behind him are so reluctant to let them go.

Even Duanmuci didn't know why his teacher took them out of here, he remembered that he lived a good life here.

With so many doubts, Duanmuci walked on the road of travel.

The first stop is a place called Weiguo, which is not big, but it is very strange, because the most powerful person in Weiguo is not their monarch, nor any general or minister of Weiguo, but their queen.

The queen who is known as the first glamorous lady in the world, Mrs. Nanzi.

And what surprised Duanmu Ci the most was not only this, after his husband and Nanzi met and chatted in detail, one of his senior brothers, the most majestic and straightforward Zilu, actually criticized his teacher directly.

Although what he said was a bit literary, Duanmu Ci still heard it very clearly, that is, criticism and ridicule.

This kind of thing that was a great rebellion in Duanmu Ci's heart was subverted by Kong Zhongni.

"Whoever doesn't give it, God hates it!"

Confucius actually made such a vicious oath in order to prove to his disciples that he was not a forgetful person, which made Duanmu Ci a little dumbfounded.

Zi Lu is Kong Zhongni's disciple and his bodyguard, this identity should be a person who is extremely loyal to Kong Zhongni, and he will even argue and ridicule Mr. in public.

Maybe it was because I saw Kong Zhongni's sincere words, or maybe it was because I believed in my husband's character, and this matter passed slowly.

The group went on the road again, but this time they did not go out of Weiguo, and the group traveled in Weiguo and lived in Weiguo for ten months.

In the past ten months, Kong Zhongni, Duanmu Ci and other disciples continued to live and study in the country.

Duanmu Ci found that all the laws in this world seem to be all learning, or everything in this world seems to be in his teacher's mouth, and it is one learning after another, one truth after another.

Ten months later, under the watchful eye of Wei Linggong, the monarch of the country, they left the country and planned to go to the state of Chen.

But in the end they failed, they were besieged in a place called Kuangcheng, and they were besieged for five days and five nights, fortunately they brought a lot of food and drink from the Lu State and the Wei Guo monarch, otherwise they would have had a hard time these five days.

After they came out of Kuangcheng, they wanted to continue to Chen, but they still failed, because they encountered a rebellion launched by the noble uncle of the Wei Kingdom, and they were besieged again.

In the end, the group finally escaped, and in desperation, they chose to return to Weiguo, perhaps their husband also felt that the way of opening this trip was a little wrong.

After returning to Weiguo, this time for Weiguo, there was still no chance for them to go out into office.

Duanmu Ci listened to what Mr. said every day, and listened to Mr. explain Confucianism and Taoism to them every day, and he always felt very powerful, but he also felt that something was wrong.

But what was wrong, he couldn't say.

After that, they returned to Lu from Weiguo, and then returned to Weiguo from Lu, but these two countries that seemed to welcome them the most resisted them the most, and never gave them a little power or official position.

After that, they left Weiguo again and traveled westward to Cao.

But in Cao State, they didn't even see the monarch of Cao State, even if Kong Zhongni was a well-known figure in the world at this time, but he still didn't receive the attention he deserved this time.

The monarch of Cao State avoided them, which made them feel a little ugly, and the Song State that arrived later was even more powerful, and the monarch of Song State directly released the words, and that monarch was going to kill them.

This time they were scared enough, although their strength was not bad, but they still had no way to compete with a country, so they had no choice but to hide their identities and quickly escape from here.

In the end, after escaping from the Song Kingdom, they also arrived in Zheng Kingdom, where they paid homage to their teacher's friend, Daxian Zisan.

Their teacher, Kong Zhongni, told Duanmu Ci and others the story between them and the story of the child.

After they worshiped their children, they continued to walk forward and came to one of the final destinations of their trip, Chen Guo!

This time they arrived at their destination smoothly, but what they experienced in Chen Guo was not better than before, or even worse.

Zigong, who has been in this world for many years, is also a young man at this time, and he can learn something new every day he spends here.

But in the state of Chen, Duanmu gave more things, and the monarch of the state of Chen did not directly express his disgust with them like the monarch of the Song state, but happily greeted them to his own country.

Later, halfway through, the king of Chen sent servants to besiege Confucius's master and apprentice in Bandao, which stopped them at once.

Duanmu Ci looked at this place that did not rely on the village in front and the store in the back, and then watched them eat the food they brought, and finally starved of food for seven days.

In the end, Zigong sneaked out, and He went to another country, Chu, persuaded the adults there, and then took the Chu people to rescue their teacher Kong Zhongni.

This time should be the first time Zigong has done things in this world by himself, and this time his knowledge has increased even more.

After that, they went to many places, experienced many things, and at the most miserable time, they were separated, and their teacher, who was sixty years old and had achieved nothing, was waiting for his lost disciple in front of Zheng Guoguo's capital alone.

When they met again, their teacher, Kong Zhongni, said that he was like a lost dog.

They have been confused a lot of the time, they have studied for most of their lives, and their teachers have studied their knowledge, but they have not received any recognition.

After that, they also went to Cai and Ye, and not only were they besieged again, but they were also met by those hermit masters who didn't want to work hard in this troubled world.

In the end, Kong Zhongni also became Confucius, and he also became a real predecessor in the world.

When they returned to Weiguo, Confucius told his disciples that if they wanted to make a name for themselves here, they had to make a name for themselves.

And his disciples also dispersed.

Many senior brothers and younger brothers have begun to become officials and commanders, and Duanmu Ci has also been in business for many years, and after many years, he returned to Han Long's face.

"Zigong, thank you Lord for your great grace!"
