Ji Pingzi and the others were first ready to find a reason to kill Confucius. Later, however, he gave up on the grounds that this would exacerbate the contradictions.

Confucius is a person who will not be flexible or apostated, and Ji Pingzi and others bribed him before, but he did not accept it.

When Duke Lu appointed Confucius as an accountant, Ji Pingzi and other nobles had a premonition that something was wrong. So! hinted at Confucius: Don't listen to Lu Gong, listen to Ji Pingzi and others. You listen to Dr. Ji, then! What's in it.

Outcome! Confucius is oil and salt do not enter. Didn't take it seriously, and simply ignored these messengers.

Then there was no way! Ji Pingzi and others had to send fake reports for Confucius to calculate. Aren't you a bookkeeper? Then let you settle the score. The bookkeeper is actually the staff of accounting and accounting.

Bookkeepers are different from bookkeepers! The bookkeeper is the director of the National Bureau of Statistics, and the bookkeeper is just the accountant and ordinary staff of the Bureau of Statistics.

Lu Gong was appointed by Confucius as an "account man", while Ji Pingzi and others hollowed out Confucius's actual power and made him a "bookkeeper", an accountant and an ordinary staff who settled accounts.

In this matter, Lu Gong's shortcomings were also exposed. Confucius is an unknown little person, if you ask him to do this work, how can he do it? He has no authority to exercise this function!

You're just an accountant, can you manage so much? If someone reports an account for you, you don't have the right to ask about the authenticity of the data. The authenticity of the data is not something you worry about, it's someone else's business.

So! You are a small bookkeeper, you go to check the treasury, you exceed your authority, I can kill you!

Originally! It was to kill Confucius. But Confucius was introduced by Lu Gong (Lu Zhaogong) after all! Although Duke Lu is a puppet king, you can't go too far. So! He didn't kill Confucius, but had to lock him up.

Furthermore! Confucius had a good relationship with Fang Jishi, and Ji Pingzi and others were jealous of him. Confucius did things for Lu Gong, which was introduced by Fang Jishi. So! Ji Pingzi didn't dare to touch Confucius.

Right now! The man has been arrested, and! The words have been released, saying that they want to kill Confucius, what should I do?

You can't get it back if you say it, can you?

Ji Pingzi and the others came up with a way, saying that Dr. Ji didn't know about this matter before, and only found out later. After Dr. Ji found out, he immediately revoked the previous decision, severely punished the previous master, and shirked the responsibility.

And then! Bring the ledger and let Confucius settle the accounts. Publicly speaking, it was said that Ji Pingzi asked Confucius to settle accounts, not to be imprisoned, let alone killed.

Ji Pingzi's family also has a lot of land and a lot of accounts, so he just needs someone who can settle accounts.

As for the state, it is only the accounts reported by the nobles. So! It's easy to work! Think about it, don't you? How many nobles is Lu Guocai divided into? How many ledgers are there?

And in the aristocratic family, there are too many accounts that need to be counted. Isn't it?

It is impossible for Ji Pingzi to let Confucius have access to their family's account books, and it is impossible for Confucius to know their family's annual income. So! The ledger is only part of it. People are just playing tricks on you, looking for a reason to lock you up indirectly and in disguise.

Not now? Lu Gongdu thought that Ji Pingzi wanted to kill Confucius, and discussed this matter with Ji Pingzi? The magnates of the Lu State all know about this: Ji Pingzi wants to kill Confucius? Isn't it?

All right! I'll create an illusion: I didn't do everything Ji Pingzi! I, Ji Pingzi, just asked Confucius to settle accounts for me. And everything is a rumor, it was all made by Lu Gong!

Such! The spearhead was pointed at Lu Gong. Lu Gong is a rumor-monger and speaks ill of him Ji Pingzi.

Right now! Confucius is a pawn in the game between Ji Pingzi and Lu Gong!

So! Confucius can't resign now!

If you resign! It's just that Lu Gong won't let you do it! Or! It was Ji Pingzi who forced you not to do it! There must be one or the other! It's either Lu Gong or Ji Pingzi and others.

You're not resigning, are you? You're just as embarrassed!

You can't do things for Lu Gong, but you have to be at the mercy of Ji Pingzi! You are at the mercy of Ji Pingzi and others, which is equivalent to losing Lu Gong's face and slapping Lu Gong's face.

If you don't do things for Ji Pingzi and others, you won't be able to mix in the Lu Palace. You can't get along and you can't resign, you can only suffer!

Confucius now! In this situation! It's true! Not a dilemma, but a place of many difficulties! Whatever you do, it's wrong.

Exactly because of this! Confucius's face is ugly! When he came back, Yan Lu opened the door for him, and Yan Lu was frightened on the spot.

"It turned out to be a conspiracy?" After listening to Confucius's explanation, Min Shigong sighed.

When the two sisters-in-law heard this, they were also too frightened.

They used to be Lu Gong's personal maids, and Lu Gong was kind to them. If they hadn't been given to Fang Jishi, they might all have become Lu Gong's women.

They couldn't tell Lu Gong about it. Furthermore! Lu Gong couldn't listen to what they said.

Today's Lu Gong can't listen to anyone's words, including their husband's cornerstone.

If it weren't for this reason, they wouldn't have tried to move out of the Lu Palace and move outside to live. Only by breaking away from Lu Gong will he not provoke disasters in the future.

They have already seen it: Lu Gong is against Ji Pingzi and others, and there is absolutely no good end.

Because! You were originally a puppet king supported by others, and you still want the puppet to turn over and make a revolution? Suppress the people who support you? How is that possible?

Face this situation! I can only wait for my husband to come back, talk to Lu Gong, and give a few words of advice. It is my responsibility to listen to him or not, and to advise you.

Loyal to the ear, if you don't listen to it, I have to advise you, this is my responsibility as a man, I have done my duty!

"Husband! Woooooo Qi Guan cried: "It's better to resign from this official!" Anyway! No matter what you do, it's wrong, it's better to make a mistake, resign from the official, stay out of the matter, and go home to teach! ”

Confucius shook his head and said, "Now! Even if I want to resign, I can't resign! ”

"Why?"

"Because! I'm a pawn in the game between them! ”

"Chess pieces?"

"Without me as a pawn, what are they going to do with it? To know! This is the game that has just begun! How can you run out of chess pieces all at once? ”

"How so? How so? Min Shi sighed.

He used to be! He also worked in Qufu, the capital of Lu State, mainly to teach the children of the nobility. But later it was found out that Sanhuan was in power, and Lu Guo began to be chaotic, so he moved away. Isn't it? Invited by Confucius to be a teacher? As a result, I returned to Qufu.

I wanted to stay away, but now I'm back. So! Now him! More anxious than Confucius.

It was precisely because he was in a bad mood that Confucius, who returned home, saw Qi Guan and Le Ge talking in the room, so he was angry and beat people. After slapping Qi Guan's family, he came to his senses under Qi Guan's resistance.

Otherwise! If you fight against the Qi Guan's clan? Lege might actually kill him.
