Chapter 997: Why Confucius Became an Official

"Ji's Chapter" is read and interpreted all the way, so! After the interpretation, it passed, and Lege did not ask Zeng Shen to interpret it as a whole.

That's it, Ji's chapter is centered on Ji's and arranged around Ji's.

The next article of Ji's chapter is the "Yang Goods Chapter", and like the previous chapter, the first two words are taken as the name. Yang goods are also Yang Hu, that is, the Yang Tiger who once participated in Confucius and did not allow Confucius to participate in Ji's banquet.

"Yang Goods Chapter" is the same as the previous chapter, it is to invite Confucius to be an official with Yang goods, to start with him, and then write about Confucius's attitude. What was Confucius's attitude? So! It's all the content of the "Yang Goods Chapter".

Lege has already guessed it, so! He didn't ask Zeng Shen again, and he didn't ask him to give him a brief introduction first. He knows! Asking is also a vain question, Zeng Shen will not tell him. This kid! The ghost is very good, so I want to "test" him, and I also ask him to ask him to correct and correct him?

"Read on!" Lege stretched out his hand and gestured.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said. And then! introduced: "This article is called 'Yang Goods Chapter', which is in the meaning of Uncle Le. In fact! No name......"

"Don't talk nonsense! Read the text! Lege interrupted.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng was stunned for a moment, and then responded.

Yang goods want to see Confucius, Confucius does not see, return to Confucius. Confucius died when he died, and he worshiped him and met all the Tu. Confucius said, "Come! Words. He said: "Cherish its treasure and be obsessed with its state, can it be described as benevolent?" He said, "No." "It's good to do it but it's time to lose it, can it be said to know it?" He said, "No." "The sun and the moon are gone, and the years are not with me." Confucius said: "No, I will be the general." ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked.

Zeng Shen explained: "Yang Xiang wanted to see Mr., but he didn't see Mr. Yang Xiang gave Mr. a small roast pig and wanted Mr. to visit him. When the gentleman found out that the yang goods were not at home, he went to the yang goods house to thank them. I didn't want to see it, but I met it halfway. Yang said to the gentleman: Come here, I have something to tell you. The gentleman walked over. Yang said: Hiding one's own skills and letting the country be confused, is this called benevolence? The gentleman replied, "No, this is not called benevolence." Yang said: Is it wise to like to participate in political affairs and repeatedly miss opportunities? The gentleman knew that the yang was hinting at him, so he replied: This is really unwise. Yang said: Time passes day by day, the years are not waiting for people, and if you miss it, you will miss it. The gentleman said, "Yes! I'm ready to be an official. ”

"What do you mean?" Lege thought for a moment and asked.

Zeng Shen said: "The later words are the point!" ”

"Oh?" The song answered.

Zeng Shen added: "It's the last sentence! ”

"Your husband decided to come out to be an official after being persuaded by the yang goods?" Lege asked.

"Sort of!" Zeng Shen Dao.

"Wrong!" Le Ge testified: "Actually! Your husband has long wanted to come out and be an official! He has an official addiction! He! He just wants to change his fate and identity! He! Don't think of how great your husband is! He wasn't that great, and even if he was great, it was later. He when he was young! I just want to change my status. Isn't it? When the Ji family invited the taxi to dinner, he also went to participate, but was stopped by this yang goods. It's true! It's a shame! ”

"This?" Zeng listened to it, and his face was not good-looking.

"Later! With the help of Fang Jishi, he worked for Lu Zhaogong and became a petty official. Isn't it? Lu Zhaogong felt that others could, so he arranged him to be an arithmetic in the treasury! Isn't it? Outcome! offended the Ji family and Sanhuan. Then I went home and rested! Lege said sharply.

"Where?" Zeng Shen argued: "My husband encountered difficulties in opening a private school at that time, and he was almost unable to run it without money, so he went to become an official. He became an official entirely to earn money to subsidize private education, not to be an official. ”

"Gotta get it! Let's not fight! Alas! Lege sighed.

I thought: That's it! As soon as you say bad things about his husband, people will immediately oppose it.

"My husband is an official for the sake of Hongdao!" Zeng Shen argued.

"That's pretty much it! But! And that's just later! Your husband has changed his mind since he went to Luoyi to meet Lao Tzu. In order to establish his own circle, he decided to become an official. But! Due to the changes in the Lu State later, Lu Zhaogong was driven out of the Lu State and went into exile, and his dream of becoming an official was shattered again. It was silent for a while, and it came to the scene you just said: Yang asked him to come out of the mountain. ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Regarding the life trajectory of Mr. Confucius, Zeng Shen naturally knows everything clearly. Even if Mr. Confucius didn't tell him personally, his father would tell him. In the past, his father was also a teacher in Confucius's private school. Furthermore! The personal relationship with Confucius was also good. So! I know Confucius best.

"Yang goods looking for him, just in line with his mind and thoughts. So! He was ready to come out and be an official. But! Le Ge looked at Zeng Shen and did not continue.

"My husband doesn't want to the penis, but! In order to have a chance, I don't want to lose it. So! It was very difficult at the time! Zeng Shen said truthfully.

"That's right!" Seeing Zeng Shen's frank attitude, Le Ge nodded with satisfaction.

"Thank you! Thank you Uncle Le! ”

"Why are you thanking me? No! What do you thank me? Lege asked.

Zeng Shen explained: "This 'Yang Goods Chapter' is based on this question: Should I do it with Yang goods? Is it to be an official? Or is it for Hongdao? Uncle Le! ”

"Hmmm! Good! Le Ge nodded and said, "Then!" This article and the previous ones are all in the same tone and format! Right! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen nodded in response.

"Your husband still listened to the persuasion of the yang goods, and felt that time waited for no one. If he doesn't come out to be an official (Hongdao) again, he won't have time in the future! When people get old, they miss the best time! So! Your sir can't wait! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! My husband didn't become an official for the sake of being an official. Its main purpose is to promote the Tao, for the happy life of mankind, and for the spread of his doctrines and ideas! He thinks! His doctrines and ideas are correct, so they must be spread and passed on! That's what it means! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen looked at the music song and said very seriously.

"Hmmm! Good! I understand! Now that the words have been said and done, everything is clear. So! Just stop talking nonsense! Read on! What's in it below? Le Ge asked.

Yang goods: also known as Yang Hu, Ji's retainer. The appearance of Yang goods is very similar to Confucius, so Confucius was mistaken for Yang goods between Chen and Cai, surrounded him, and wanted to kill him.

Yang Xiang thought that Confucius had talent but no opportunity, and he implied Confucius that he gave Confucius this opportunity.
