Lu Gong called Confucius this time, mainly because Lege came back, and he wanted to find out from Confucius first: What is Lege's identity? Is it the son of Zhou Tianzi? A prince left behind by the people?

That's not the main reason! But! He still hopes that Zhou Tianzi can get Zhou Tianzi's attention through the relationship of music and songs. And then! Help him punish Ji Pingzi and others, so that he can get rid of the identity of a puppet king and become a real king.

He doesn't want to be a puppet king, he has the ability to be a qualified king. It's just that! He's young! There were no loyal servants around him to assist him.

If someone assists him, if he has the strength and power at hand, he can completely govern the Lu State well.

Now the country of Lu! was controlled by Ji Pingzi and other three major families, but he, the king, was hollowed out. It doesn't matter what he says, no one listens, no one pays attention. And everything such as the government of Lu State is in the hands of Ji Pingzi and others.

He thinks! Ji Pingzi and others seriously violated the Zhou system and Zhou etiquette. So! He needs Zhou Tianzi's support and help very much!

But? Thinking that Zhou Tianzi was not even as good as him in addition to having the name of the Son of Heaven, he sighed and didn't talk nonsense.

Since it is useless to ask for this Son of Heaven, it is better not to say it!

Although his power is hollowed out, although he is only a puppet king. But I still have some strength. At least! He has fiefs, soldiers and horses. If you go head-to-head with Ji Pingzi and the other three major families? With his strength, he could have destroyed them.

But! In fact, it is not! The other three families, as if they knew this truth, were very united, but they couldn't get along with him.

Right now! What he has to do: just wait for the moment!

When Ji Pingzi had a conflict with the other two families, there was infighting. When the time comes! He raised an army to destroy it, and it was a matter of course.

With calculations and plans in his heart, Lu Gong didn't talk nonsense anymore. After learning the true identity of Lege, as the king of Lu, he naturally wanted to offer filial piety to the prince.

Why did Lu Gong only remember to offer filial piety to Lege now?

Because! After Lege's identity was revealed, Lege was not in Qufu City. He just wanted to be close to the music set, and he didn't have that opportunity.

Lege himself is not here, who are you close to?

This is not? Lege is back? So! Only then did he send someone to find Confucius.

Since Lege is a prince, he has to give some money and ask what he needs?

After Confucius understood what Lu Gong meant, he suggested that Lu Gong see the music song.

"Prince Lege is a very nice guy! But he had an idea. ”

"Oh?"

"He doesn't want to reveal his identity, and if you say he's a prince publicly, he'll be upset. So! Since the Lord wants to show his heart, you can call him over and talk to him in detail......"

At the suggestion of Confucius, Lu Gong felt that it made sense, so he readily agreed. Forthwith! Let Confucius arrange to see the music song. Everything, talk to Lege face to face.

Coming out of the Lu Palace, Confucius went to the Ji Mansion. Because he promised Ji Fu to go to see Ji Pingzi. Lu Gong prepared some meeting gifts for Lege here, so Confucius did not accept it, and asked Lu Gong to give it to Lege in person in the future.

When Confucius came to Jifu, he was just in time for lunch.

Ji Pingzi saw Confucius when he retired from the dynasty, and with his understanding of Confucius, he would not eat at Lu Gong's, and would definitely come to him in the morning.

This is the etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty! It is polite to visit someone in the morning. In particular, it is not possible to visit patients in the afternoon. More especially, I can't go when the sun goes down.

If you visit a sick person when the sun is about to go down, people will want to kill you. Because of this, the patient hates you, and the condition worsens.

For the ancients! This is not sensational! It's real.

Why?

Because! Ancient science and technology were backward, and people's thinking patterns were different from those of modern people. The ancients were abstract and analogous thinking, and they were contrasting thinking.

What is comparative thinking? In fact, it's about comparative thinking! Compare this to that thing! Compare what is happening in the present with similar events in the past, and then guess what the outcome might be!

Why are patients and their families unhappy to visit patients in the afternoon or when the sun goes down? It's because! The sun in the afternoon means vanishing, dying, going downhill.

Meaning! You hope and curse the sick like the afternoon sun that is about to set. So! They will think that you are cursing the sick person instead of visiting the sick person in the hope that the patient will recover soon.

So! Ji Pingzi expected that Confucius would come to him at noon.

Therefore! He asked his servants to prepare food and drinks.

Although Confucius did not listen to him, he still admired Confucius's talent and learning. Confucius is good at everything except that he can't be flexible.

If Confucius listened to him and was willing to do things for him, then! Confucius can live a good life without worrying about food and clothing.

But Confucius is a person who is inflexible and ignorant of current affairs, but he loves more reason. Therefore! He was "respectful and distant" from Confucius.

If it weren't for the fact that Le Ge was the prince of the abandoned people, the son of Zhou Tianzi, and his false brother-in-law of Confucius, he would not have bothered to take the initiative to find Confucius!

Isn't it? After learning Lege's true identity, he has been looking forward to Lege's return.

Sing a song! is the real intention and purpose of his Ji Pingzi!

Knowing that Confucius was coming, Ji Pingzi greeted him and took Confucius inside.

Yang Hu saw that Ji Pingzi treated Confucius as a VIP, and he was so angry that he gasped to the side.

Don't know what's going on? When he saw Confucius, he was angry. It's true! It seems that he was born with a grudge against Confucius!

"Serve! Drink! Back in the tall and spacious living room, Ji Pingzi waved his arm and commanded.

The maids and others hurriedly agreed.

"Doctor Ji?" Confucius looked at Ji Pingzi puzzled and asked.

He still doesn't believe it? Ji Pingzi called him over to ask him to come to dinner?

"Eat first! It's time to eat, huh? Ji Pingzi looked at Confucius and said with a smile.

Confucius thinks about it! Don't you skip dinner when it's time for lunch? Let's talk about things first, and then send me away after that?

How is that possible? Who is Ji Pingzi? Although people don't welcome you, for the sake of things on the scene and for social influence, people still have to engage in situationism and make a show for outsiders. obviously hates you in my heart, but on the surface I still smile at you, looking very good and honored.

That's it! Confucius once again became a distinguished guest in Dr. Ji's mansion and had lunch with Ji Pingzi.

Confucius had dinner at Ji Pingzi's house, not once or twice, but many times. On the surface! It's an honor and a lot of face. Its actual! Both sides are in a clear mood: make a show for outsiders.

The dining table was removed and replaced with a tea set.

Ji Pingzi just started to talk about things, he didn't have much time to rub on Confucius. When he is free, he can not only go to the inner house to be happy with the female dependents, but also go to the secret room to watch the female Lu of the Qi country perform songs and dances.

"I've called you here today because it's about your work!".

"Thank you, Dr. Ji!"

"You're working so hard in statistics. So! I've decided to let you do something else that's a little easier! I think! The master of ceremonies over there at the Jongmyo is in great need of talents like you! We are Lu country! Large-scale festivals are held many times a year! For example! The Spring Festival is coming soon! ……”
