Chapter 592: Yuefu
Regardless of whether what Ji Pingzi said was true or not, Confucius believed it. There was no one to collect the taxes, and someone was definitely behind his back to help him speak.
Once upon a time! He guessed that it was Lu Gong, or Fang Jishi. Later, he felt that Lu Gong was a puppet king in the air, even if he helped him speak, it would be impossible for Ji Pingzi and the others to listen to him. Opposite! It may also be against him.
So! He guessed that it was the cornerstone of the square. But when he asked Fang Jishi, Fang Jishi didn't admit it. Fang Jishi said that he had long since stopped dealing with Lu Gong, so it was not his role.
Now he knows! It turned out to be the role of Ji Pingzi and others.
No matter what Ji Pingzi's purpose is, anyway! But no one came to collect his taxes.
It's true! If Lu Guo still has to collect taxes from him for running a private school, then! His private education may not be able to do it for a long time.
No matter what Ji Pingzi's purpose is: is it really about education? Or is it out of external pressure to engage in situationalism and make a show for others to see? Anyway! did not come to collect his taxes.
Since Ji Pingzi has said this, Confucius also agreed: willing to be the master of ceremonies!
With such good conditions, you don't do you are stupid?
What is it called? Career hobbies and careers, do not delay.
In terms of salary, there is no need for Confucius's request, and Ji Pingzi's salary is generous. The salary is the same as before, and the benefits are the same.
Differently: the freedom to go to work. Lu Gong was busy and went to work in Lu Palace, and there was no sacrifice and etiquette in Lu Palace, so he could run a private school at home with peace of mind.
And! In the future, there is no need to ask for leave or anything, and you can make your own decisions.
In the past, if you didn't go to work, you had to ask for leave in advance.
"There's one more thing to invite you here today, and! It's a very important thing! Just as important! ……”
After talking about the inauguration, Ji Pingzi began to talk about Lege.
In fact! The arrangement of Confucius to be the master of ceremonies is mainly for the sake of music. If it weren't for the fact that Le Ge was the son of Zhou Tianzi and the prince who was left behind by the people, he would not have bothered to deal with Confucius, a diehard!
Confucius's stubbornness, he can be regarded as thoroughly comprehending.
People don't get in with oil and salt, and everything is done according to the rules and principles, which is more rigid. The only way for this kind of inflexible person is to ignore him!
But isn't? Now Confucius has a false brother-in-law, and this false brother-in-law is not small, and he is a prince who has been left behind by the people.
Regardless of whether this prince has a role or not, after all, he is the son of Zhou Tianzi. him! There are only good, no bad!
"Doctor Ji, please speak!" Confucius looked at Ji Pingzi and asked.
At this time, he! I have returned to my seat.
"We learned that Lege is the prince of the people who was left behind, so! In order to express our hearts, we have prepared a mansion for Prince Xiaoyao in Qufu City......"
"Mansion?"
"It's not mine, it's Lu's!" Ji Pingzi affirmed.
"This?" When Confucius understood, he was amazed.
I thought: Today, Da Nizi came over and said that she had purchased a house. Isn't it? Lege: Have they all gone to see the house? Right now! Lu Guo prepared a house for Lege.
"We've heard about it! Prince Lege doesn't want to make his identity public and doesn't want to live in the palace. And what about Zhou Tianzi! Respecting his wishes, I agreed to him. And! He also named him the Prince of Freedom!
Isn't it? We, the Lu country, began to prepare a house for him in Qufu City. He is now a native of our Lu country! Live in our country of Lu, so! We should do what we can for the Son of Heaven! Do what you can for the Prince of Ease. ”
"This?"
"We have prepared the door plaque of 'Yuefu', and we want to ask what Prince Xiaoyao means? If the Prince of Joy agrees, then! We're going to put the plaque up. ”
"This?"
"Everything in Yuefu, we are ready, including guards and maids!"
"This?" Confucius thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go back and tell Lege him." ”
"Good!" Ji Pingzi said with a smile.
At this time, Yang Hu walked in, but! He didn't come to Ji Pingzi's side. But! Walked up to one of the guards and whispered something to the guards? The guard listened and nodded. And then! came to Ji Pingzi's side.
"Oh! Good! Ji Pingzi listened, nodded, and responded.
And then! He said to Confucius: "The car outside is ready, let's go to Yuefu first!" ”
"This?" When Confucius heard this, he didn't know what to say.
Seeing that Ji Pingzi had stood up, he quickly stood up as well. And then! followed Ji Pingzi and walked outside.
Out of Ji's Mansion, there were really a few carriages parked outside.
In order to engage in formalism, Ji Pingzi took Confucius's hand before leaving the gate of Ji's mansion, and the two looked very intimate.
The two got into the luxurious carriage in the middle, and the carriage spun around.
In the carriage in front, there were guards. In the carriage behind, sat the retainer Yang Hu. Other than that! There were also more than a dozen infantry armed with weapons such as Changge, and they ran with them.
After a while, the carriage arrived at the center of Qufu City and stopped in front of a mansion.
"This is it! You see? How is it? Ji Pingzi pulled Confucius's men out of the carriage, stood in front of the mansion, looked at the mansion and said.
"This?" When Confucius saw this, he was stupid at that time.
This mansion is almost the same structure as the house where he studied privately. It's different! This is new! Of course! Not newly-built, but repainted, like a new house.
There are a few storefronts along the street in front, which are of course closed now. In the middle is the gate for entry and exit, with steps at the doorway, and on one side is the side gate for carriages to enter and exit the courtyard.
It can be seen! The houses here should have been built by merchants, not residences.
Inside, the situation in the courtyard was the same as on his side. Even! It's exactly the same.
Inside there is a courtyard, and behind it is a palace-like house. And then later! There is another compound. There are wings on both sides. There is also a row of houses in the back, and behind this row of houses, is a vegetable patch.
Looking at this house, Confucius was very suspicious: Is the owner of this house also from Qi?
Listen to Fang Cornerstone! His house was built by a merchant of Qi State. Isn't it? The merchants of Qi were worried that Qi would attack Lu and destroy Lu, so they urgently sold their properties. Later, when he learned that the battle could not be fought, he regretted it again. But! The house has changed, regret it too late!
"How? Satisfied? Ji Pingzi asked.
"This?" Confucius replied in a low voice: "Can you not be satisfied with such a good house?" Satisfied! Satisfied! ”。
"Good!" Ji Pingzi responded.
Yang Hu also followed, but he didn't want to be with Confucius, so! did not follow Ji Pingzi's side. After entering the courtyard, he stood far away.
