It's still the old rule, Confucius first went to see Lu Gong (Lu Zhaogong), and then went to see Ji Pingzi.

Lu Gong's side, there was no nonsense, and he asked him directly how he was resting? If you recover, you can come to work as soon as possible.

Going to the "Eastern Zhou Greeting" to Lao Tzu is equivalent to people in the current society who go abroad to study and gild, and when they come back, they want to be reused.

Confucius went to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to ask about Lao Tzu, and the whole country of Lu knew about it. So! When you come back, you naturally want to be reused. That's the only way! It can show that Lu attaches great importance to talents.

In particular, the king of Lu should make a gesture.

Therefore! That's where today's meeting comes in.

In fact! Lu Gong (Lu Zhaogong) is not just to make a gesture of reusing Confucius, but! He had already admired Confucius. It's just that! He was a puppet king, unable to master many things. Because he was helpless, he couldn't help it.

Ji Pingzi is different, he is outright formalistic. He saw that Lu Gong sent someone to find Confucius, so he sent someone to find Confucius.

Lu Gong has his eyeliner over there, so! Lu Gongcai sent someone to invite Confucius, and his people immediately passed. In speed! It's that fast.

What Lu Gong has thoughts and practices, he can know in the first time.

On Lu Gong's side, Confucius had a showdown, saying that Ji Pingzi and Dr. Ji also sent someone to invite him.

When Lu Gong heard that Ji Pingzi had also sent someone to invite him, he didn't say anything. He knows! If he had promised Confucius, it would have been in vain. So! He decided to see what Ji Pingzi did first?

If he arranged some position for Confucius, and was overthrown by Ji Pingzi, then! It's not just a slap in the face, it's not interesting.

Ji Pingzi and others are specially fucking with him, if he arranges a low position, Ji Pingzi and others will definitely oppose it and arrange a high-ranking official position for Confucius. If he directly arranges for a high level, people fuck up thinking that they should start from the grassroots first.

That's what it is, anyway! Thou art a king, and thou art not a lord. Case! It's better to let Ji Pingzi arrange it first.

When I came to Ji Pingzi's side, the situation was different, and the atmosphere was different.

On Lu Gong's side, there are just two people, him and Lu Gong. Lu Gong didn't want anyone else to be around, and there was no other person to be trusted.

Confucius knew the difficulties of Lu Gong, so! There are a lot of things that I don't bother to say again. It's useless to say it, it's better not to say it.

On Ji Pingzi's side, Sanhuan was present today. Other than that! And retainers. Additional! Fang Zhong and Uncle Nangong Jing were also called over, looking like they were having a celebration.

When Confucius came, everyone was naturally polite. In order to show the solemnity, Ji Pingzi and others specially came out to greet Confucius.

Up and down the Ji Mansion, there is a festive atmosphere.

"Hurry up in the kitchen! Cook more! Ji Pingzi deliberately instructed his subordinates to do so in front of Confucius.

When Confucius saw that Yang Hu was not at the scene, he felt much more comfortable.

Yang Hu is a retainer of Ji Pingzi's family and the housekeeper of the family. In the past, he was in charge of internal and external affairs of the Ji Mansion. Later, because of his ability and means, he was sent to the fiefdom.

The three Huan of the Lu State all have their own fiefdoms, and! Each fief has its own city. So! It takes the people you trust most to manage.

Ji Pingzi and other people who inherit the title, they generally do not live in the fiefdom. They inherited the title and became one of the administrators of the Lu State, and naturally lived in the capital Qufu.

Those who did not inherit the title were sent to the fiefdoms. Some live in the city, and some live in the countryside.

So! On the side of the fiefdom, there are also a lot of housework. Often, if the family does not handle things well, it is better to send an outsider to deal with them. Just like that, Yang Hu was sent to the fiefdom of Ji Pingzi's family. Not only manage the affairs of the fiefdom, but also manage the city.

Today's Confucius! It was gilded back from Laozi of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and his identity changed all of a sudden. So! In front of the public, Ji Pingzi and others were even more polite and courteous to Confucius.

Since Confucius went to ask for etiquette, Ji Pingzi and others all asked about Zhou etiquette.

OK! Confucius read a lot of books on Zhou etiquette in the Zhou Tibetan room. So! Speaking of Zhou Li, he is the head of the way. Furthermore! He has already studied Zhou Li, and he is very smooth to say.

"It's really extraordinary!" Ji Pingzi took the lead in complimenting.

"Lao Tzu is a great talent in the world! Sure enough! When the others saw this, they also took the opportunity to compliment them.

Imagine! Ji Pingzi and Dr. Ji are all complimented, can you still be complimented? Furthermore! Everyone is well-versed in the world and knows that this is a compliment rather than an admiration.

Compliments and admiration do not mean the same thing, so don't confuse them.

A compliment is a flattering compliment, and it is false. And admiration! is real.

Isn't it? In order to engage in formalism? Ji Pingzi just made a show for everyone to see! What Ji Pingzi thinks in his heart, everyone knows it in their hearts. Who was Confucius? It's clear to everyone! From the perspective of their own interests, they dare not get close to and trust Confucius.

Seeing that Ji Pingzi and the others respected and complimented Confucius so much, Uncle Nangong couldn't help but snicker in his heart.

I think you don't know! Confucius was in the Zhou Tibetan room, and he was scolded by Lao Tzu that day! You still compliment him, saying that he learned Zhou etiquette from Lao Tzu and is gilded? In fact! Lao Tzu didn't teach him any weekly etiquette, but! reprimanded him. Afterwards! Teach him Taoism.

Fang Zhong remained silent and looked at the scene.

Today's Nangong Jingshu and Fang Zhong are both regarded as important figures. Because! They were Confucius's scholars, and they accompanied Confucius to "greet each other appropriately". It can also be said! They are all gold-plated talents.

Therefore! Today, they also have their own seats.

But! Their seats are at the rear.

In front of them, they are all big shots. On the high platform! Ji Pingzi and Dr. Ji sit in the chief position, and the other two Huan sit in the position of guest secretary.

After some superficial formality, Ji Pingzi got up and thought about arranging a position for Confucius.

The gilded back Confucius, if you don't arrange a position for him, then! What do people from the other vassal states think? Don't you say that you Lu don't pay attention to talents?

In fact! Everyone had already discussed and arranged a position for Confucius. Isn't it? Make an appearance to Confucius, and then make a look of embarrassment.

Arranged directly to the court to do it, is it too sudden? If you mess things up, you will not only smash their face, but also the face of Lao Tzu, the world's first talent. Isn't it?

So! Let's arrange a small position for Confucius first, starting from the grassroots level......

If Ji Pingzi takes over the discussion with everyone and arranges for Confucius to be a petty official, then! Is there something wrong with him? So! Ji Pingzi will not arrange it directly.

Therefore! There is a sense of discussion!

At last! Ji Pingzi did not make a decision. Furthermore! It is necessary to continue to make superficial articles, how to use Confucius, and the consent of Lu Gong must be obtained. After all! Lu Gong is the master of Lu country!
