"Oh no, my lord!"

Kong Qiu hurriedly took a step back, bowed to Qingji and said, "The king is the king, the minister is the minister, how can the monarch and the minister ride in the same car?" Such a loss of courtesy to the monarch and the minister is for trespassing, and the minister does not dare to do it. ”

Kong Qiu is a very well-behaved person, but Qingji can also see that this is not what Kong Qiu is talking about.

After all, a saint like Confucius who can be called the "Master of All Ages" is only a fame and fortune after all, but he has not achieved a true pure heart and few desires!

"Hahahaha, Kong Qing, why not? The widow respects you, you have made a great contribution to my Wu country, don't say that you are riding in the same car with the widow, that is, let the widow give you this 'summer car', what's the matter? ”

As he spoke, Qingji made another "please" gesture.

Kong Qiu half-pushed and half-pushed, and also boarded the summer car, and accepted the admiring eyes of the people in Jinling City with Qingji.

This is the treatment that only heroes can enjoy!

In the state of Wu, it is often the generals who have made great achievements, and when they return triumphantly, they can ride in the same car with Qingji.

Now, what Qing Ji did like this is not to explain to Kong Qiu - are you the hero of the Wu Kingdom?

"Kong Qing, this time the widow transferred you back to Jinling, you won't blame the widow in your heart, right?"

"I don't dare."

Kong Qiu hurriedly lowered his head and said.

In fact, on the way from Huiji to Jinling, he was full of slander at Qingji's approach.

Kong Qiu was a little frightened, because he had repeatedly written books before, advising Qingji to withdraw his life and not to implement the "Book of Law" as a severe punishment in Wu State.

However, Qingji obviously took Kong Qiu's advice as a deaf ear.

This made Kong Qiu very angry.

So in a fit of anger, Kong Qiu had the idea of retreating to the mountains and forests, and Xiang Qingji resigned.

However, what Confucius was waiting for was not the edict to punish the sin, or the news of the withdrawal of the Book of Laws.

Qingji transferred Kong Qiu to Jinling and waited for appointment.

This made Kong Qiu's heart empty, and it was very unpleasant.

He didn't know what fate awaited him!

Qingji will not kill himself, but he may be put on the shelf, and he will no longer be reused, or he will be expelled from the state of Wu......

This is clearly not what Conciu wants to see.

Because Kong Qiu has been in Wu for several years, he has served in Huiji County for more than a year, and his political achievements are outstanding and highly praised!

Kong Qiu, who had made some achievements in Huiji County and had a chance to show his ambitions, was obviously unwilling to be left out by Qingji like this, and left Wu again in disgrace.

"Kong Qing, the widow wants you to be a pawn and take charge of diplomatic affairs, I don't know what you think?"

"Minister, obey the king's orders!"

The pawn is one of the nine kings, and he has a high position, but in the final analysis, the power is not as great as that of the county guard of Huiji.

Fortunately, Kong Qiu is not a power-hungry person and does not care about this.

Being promoted to one of the ministers of the Nine Qings by Qing Ji is tantamount to allowing him to enter the power center of the Wu State for Kong Qiu!

"Regarding the position of the county guard of Huiji County, does Kong Qing have anyone to recommend?"

Qingji asked with interest.

"The king, the minister thinks that the disciple of the minister, the former Huiji County Cheng Ran Geng, may succeed the county guard."

"You're really virtuous."

"King!"

Kong Qiu was taken aback, only thinking that Qingji was not very satisfied with his proposal to let Ran Geng serve as the county guard of Huiji County, and hurriedly said: "King, Ran Geng is outstanding in talent and proficient in Confucianism, and now the minister has educated many Yue people. ”

"However, there are many Yue people, and it is difficult to educate them one by one, and I am afraid that it will not be possible to naturalize them all in my Wu State for a while. With Ran Geng, he can continue the law of politics and the people in Huiji County before the minister, and after more than ten years, Wu and Yue can truly become a family! ”

"Good!"

Qingji approved the matter of letting Ran Geng serve as the county guard of Huiji County.

This made Conciu feel very relieved.

In fact, Qingji can also see that Kong Qiu does not have much selfishness in this matter.

The power of the county guard of Huiji County is very great, and if he is an ordinary person, Qingji is not very relieved, so he arranged a lot of eyeliner in Huiji County to monitor the previous Kong Qiu, Ran Geng and others, once there are any bad deeds, Qingji can immediately take them down!

"The king, the minister still thinks that the legal provisions in the "Book of Law" are too harsh and the punishment is too heavy."

"Why can't the king be like the ancient sages and educate the people with morality, instead of aggravating the punishment?"

Confucius is still stubborn.

Hearing this, Qing Ji just chuckled lightly and said, "Kong Qing, if it is not a last resort, how can the widow severely punish the people?" ”

"In this world, the wind is declining, the people's hearts are not ancient, and it is impossible for Kong Qing to return to the era of Yao Shun. Therefore, the widow must take advantage of the situation! ”

"Letting you go back to Jinling this time will also allow you to improve some unreasonable provisions or punishments in the Book of Law."

"The king is wise!"

Qingji has been in the top position for a long time, and he is a traverser, so he naturally knows that he can't blindly use strict punishment and strict laws to govern the country, and that will only end up dying like the Qin Dynasty.

Moreover, the national conditions of Wu were not the same as those of Qin at that time.

Professional things still need professional people to do.

Although Confucius is not a Legalist, he is a generation of Confucianism and the originator of Confucianism!

With Kong Qiu's benevolence, he will definitely be able to improve the "Book of Laws", which is still relatively harsh, and make the legal provisions of Wu more reasonable.

"Kong Qing, there is one more thing."

Qingji said again: "The widow plans to build a Jixia School Palace in Jinling. In order to open the first Kangzhuang, the high gate and big house, in order to attract the scholars of all countries to enter Wu, encourage them to write books and speak, and encourage them to participate in politics and discuss politics. ”

"In addition to the scholars who govern the country, whether they are farmers, craftsmen, big merchants, etc., all those who have a skill and are outstanding can be awarded the title of 'Superior Doctor', which is used to teach their disciples and promote the doctrines of each family."

"The widow is the head of the school palace, you Kongqiu, you will sacrifice wine for the school palace, for the widow, manage the Jixia school palace for the Wu country, cultivate talents, and teach people tirelessly."

As soon as he heard this, Kong Qiu's eyes suddenly widened, and he said with excitement: "Minister, obey the king's orders!" ”

The Jixia School Palace that Qingji wants to create is naturally roughly the same as the Jixia School Palace of the Qi State in history.

It's just that this Jixia School Palace in Wu is more inclined to be the cradle of cultivating talents, and it is the highest institution of learning in Wu State.

In Keiti's vision, the Jixia Gakugu will be a comprehensive institution of higher learning that includes the Faculty of Engineering, the Faculty of Law, the Faculty of Agriculture, and the Faculty of Medicine.

In its heyday, the Jixia School Palace of later generations once accommodated almost all the schools of thought among the hundreds of schools of the sons at that time, among which the main ones were Taoism, Confucianism, Law, Name, Soldier, Agriculture, Yin and Yang, and Light and Heavy Schools.

In its heyday, the Jixia School Palace brought together about 1,000 wise men from all over the world!

And what Qingji wants to do is to use these talents to cultivate more talents for the Wu State.

Even if it is good at farming, maybe it can be awarded the title of Doctor!
