Ji Pingzi locked up Lu Gong's people, and Lu Gong naturally would not give up. Anyway! He was also the king of the kingdom of Lu. No matter how good you Ji Pingzi is, you are only a courtier under the king.

But! The state of Lu is different from other vassal states, and the state of Lu has its own regulations. The current state of Lu is not the king's final say. But! It was managed in partnership with the king and three other families.

The so-called three Huan! In addition to Lu Gong, there are three families.

The current state of Lu is equivalent to four people in power.

Furthermore! When Lu Gong (Lu Zhaogong) came to power, he was himself elected to power as a puppet. A puppet king, can you have power? Do you count? People choose you because they can control you. People can elect you to be the king, and they have the same ability to pull you down.

Before that! Because Lu Gong (Lu Zhaogong) was disobedient, he had already assassinated several times. If Fang Jishi hadn't inadvertently saved him, he would have died that time.

Because I was saved by Fang Jishi, so! Lu Gongcai reused the cornerstone of Fang.

Because Lu Gong was young, he had no social experience at all and did not see the situation clearly. So! He did not listen to the advice of his courtiers at all, and insisted on going his own way. Outcome! The relationship with Ji Pingzi and others is very bad. In the court, there are often-for-tat and saber-rattling.

Fang Jishi and his two wives have seen the situation in Lu State clearly, so! didn't dare to get too close to Lu Gong.

It is precisely for this reason that Confucius's two sisters-in-law decided to move out of the Lu Palace and live in the countryside. Why? It's the fear of provoking death.

Confucius also got close to Duke Lu because he was young. Outcome! Under his insistence, he caused trouble.

Now Confucius was imprisoned by Ji Pingzi. Ji Pingzi threatened to kill Confucius.

Of course! This is to scare Confucius and Lu Gong.

The reason is very simple, as an accountant, you don't seriously calculate the accounts and count the accounts, what are you going to do to the treasury? Is the treasury so casual to let people in?

Confucius's defense is: As an accountant (account keeper), I should be called a "bookkeeper", a worker who settles accounts. I have to combine the data with the physical object. For example! There are 100,000 loads of grain in the ledger, and I must see them. If I hadn't seen 100,000 loads of grain, then! How did these 100,000 quintals of grain come from?

However, Ji Pingzi and others argued: The peasants paid taxes to the towns, and then the towns and towns transported them to the prefectures, and then from the prefectures to the treasury of the capital. The ledgers submitted to you, the accountant, have already been counted.

So! As an accountant, you only need to make statistics and calculations according to the ledger sent to you.

The ledger that is delivered to you is the ledger of the treasury.

With the ledger, what treasury do you have to look at?

There are rules on the treasury side, and the guards on the treasury side have the right not to let you see the treasury. Because! It's their mandate! You don't have the right to look at the internal situation of the treasury, if you go to see it without authorization, it's a violation!

Confucius defended: I see that the treasury is empty! The grain is empty, and the treasury is empty. And what you have reported to me is not! What does this mean?

Ji Pingzi and others argued: The treasury is the lifeblood of the country, and it cannot be casually displayed. If anyone can see it? Does a country still have secrets?

And if foreigners know that our country has no food stocks, and still take the opportunity to wage war against our country?

If the hostile elements knew where the grain was hidden, wouldn't they have set fire to our granaries? Isn't it?

Therefore! Ji Pingzi and others buttoned Confucius a "spy" hat.

What does it mean that you trespass into warehouses and check the state treasury? Are you exploring the truth of the Lu Kingdom? Do you want to provide information to foreigners?

With the hat of a spy, there is a reason to kill Confucius.

Of course! Not intent on killing Confucius, but to scare Confucius. It also warned Lu Gong not to go too far. If I make you a king, you will be a king, and if I don't let you be a king, you are not a fart.

That's it! Confucius has not returned for five days since his post, and he is still locked up in Ji Pingzi's cell.

Ji Pingzi is such a cow, Confucius is not locked up in the prison of the relevant state departments, but! Locked up in his Ji Pingzi's house.

Because the whole country of Lu is the people of Ji Pingzi and others, so! The news of Confucius's arrest reached the ears of Lu Gong three days later. It's this time! Only then did Lu Gong know: the reason why Confucius did not come to report for several days.

Since Confucius became the minister of the state of Lu, in order to be grateful, he would go to the Duke of Lu to report the situation at the appropriate time. Since he was caught, he has not been there.

According to the two sisters-in-law, Lu Gong had tried his best, but Ji Pingzi just didn't agree to release him. Right now! Whether Confucius lives or dies is completely up to Ji Pingzi.

"That? What to do? Since Duke Lu didn't have Ji Pingzi's method, he couldn't save Confucius, so? Is Confucius dead? Le Ge asked.

When he asked this, he had mixed feelings. He doesn't know yet: is he gloating? Still in a hurry?

Seriously! He was a little gloating, and he was just as anxious! His heart is conflicted! After getting along for such a long time, he felt that Confucius should not be a pretended saint, but a person who matched his words and deeds.

But! This kind of person has a disadvantage, that is: they will not be flexible!

It may be that the former music song thought is making trouble, and what makes music gloat is: if Confucius had an accident, he would be killed by Ji Pingzi. So! He had a chance.

In the thought of the former music song, I still like the Qi Guan's family. The former aunt is his dream lover! Albeit! My aunt married Confucius and gave birth to Kong Li. But if he was asked to marry his aunt again, he would be willing.

Of course! This is a flash of thought in Lege's subconscious.

But under the influence of reason, he still admired Confucius, and hoped that Confucius would not have an accident and come back safely. Otherwise! The orphans and widows of the Qiguan clan will live in the future.

"Now! I can only wait for Brother Fang to come back! ”

"Brother Fang?"

"The husband of the two sisters-in-law! He wants Qiu to call him big brother! Qiu used to call him uncle, but if he doesn't be an uncle, he wants to be a big brother! ”

"Duke Lu can't be saved, what can he do to save Confucius?" Lege asked in disbelief.

"Listen to my sister-in-law, it should be possible! Ji Pingzi should give him face! ”

"Why?"

"Because! He trained a strong army for Lu Gong and Lu Guo. Although he has now given up his military power, those officers in the army are all trained by him and are convinced. If only ......"

"If he rebels, Ji Pingzi will die!"

"Woooooo Qi Guan didn't dare to agree, so he had to cry.

If this kind of argument gets out, it is conceivable that it will be a big problem.

"When this incident is over, I won't let him be an official. What kind of officer? It's better to go home and teach! ”

"Woooooo
