Chapter 606: Ji Pingzi's Envy
"Serve the food!" After taking his seat, Ji Pingzi shouted to his subordinates.
Yang Hu and the others did not sit down, these people were also very knowledgeable, and seeing that Ji Pingzi did not mean to ask them to accompany them, they all consciously walked away.
According to common sense, they are here to meet the Prince of Ease.
After a while, a table of sumptuous wine and food was served.
"I envy you, Prince of Ease! It's true! The world is free! What a free life! Ji Pingzi said to Le Ge.
His face was serious. It seems to be like that.
"Hehehe!" Le Ge also clenched his fists and arched his hands.
"I especially like nature! I've wanted to go crazy outside since I was a child. Can me? Born in a noble family, you must be educated from an early age, and you have to go to school. Isn't it? Where will I be allowed to play outside? ”
Talking! Ji Pingzi looked at Confucius. That seems to mean: Isn't it? You're a gentleman, you know. Sir, don't you want students to go crazy? And what about students? Who doesn't want to go crazy?
"I didn't like to go to school since I was a kid! I just want to skip class! "The music should be harmonious.
Ji Pingzi listened and smiled at Lege.
"Every year when I go back to the fiefdom, I'm so excited! Along the way, that's the beauty! I don't want to ride in a carriage at all, I want to ride a horse or walk! How nice would it be if you walked? I'll be able to play all the way.
Alas! It's a pity! My wish is unfulfillable. Where will the guards cling to me? They put me in the carriage and didn't let me move. Even! Don't let me see ......"
The aristocracy generally had their own fiefdoms, and the minor nobles basically lived in their fiefdoms. The great nobles, on the other hand, generally lived in the capital or in the fiefdom, and rarely lived in the fiefdom (country).
Ji Pingzi grew up in the capital Qufu since he was a child, and it was rare to go back to the fiefdom. So! He was very excited to have a chance to return to the fiefdom. Because! It's time to get out of the capital and get back to nature.
Outcome! There is no chance to come down and have fun other than sightseeing along the way. Time passed under such circumstances, and in the blink of an eye, a few decades later, he inherited the title and became the doctor of the Lu country. He was in charge of the government of the Lu State. Therefore! There is no chance to go out and play.
In his impression, Lege is a free and easy person. When I was a child, I grew up in a mountain village and was a hunter, so I could stay in the mountains all day. It's true! How nice is that life?
Later music songs! It's the world. He can walk freely in the Great Zhou World and go wherever he wants.
Now the music song! The identity changed suddenly, and he became the son of Zhou Tianzi, a prince who was left behind by the people. Hey! This carefree prince, he is really free.
Don't talk about it! This carefree prince really thinks about it: he doesn't want to be a prince, he would rather live in society than in the palace.
That's it! Ji Pingzi admired it very much.
People who have not lived in the royal family, the royal family, and the great nobles will not know at all: it is not good to live in the royal family, the king, and the great nobles! It's not as good as others think. Although it is a luxurious life, risks can arise at any time.
Living in such a family, you are not free! Although you are born with the power to do to the maids, guards, and others in your home, you can only do this at home, to them. If you go out, you can die at any time.
When you leave the house, you can't survive without countless people protecting you.
It's true! He can't live this kind of life without freedom. But! And it can't be changed.
Lege is different! He's free! The world is free!
So! The more Ji Pingzi thought about it, the more envious he was of Lege.
"Hehehe!" Le Ge smiled: "People born in aristocratic families envy the freedom of the common people. And what about the common people? They envied the luxurious life of the aristocracy. In fact! It's all the same! Envy each other. ”
"This one too! Also! Ji Pingzi nodded.
Confucius sat down in the lower seat, looking and listening to the two people on the stage, without speaking. Ji Pingzi and Le Ge don't seem to regard him as existing. Seeing that the two were talking speculatively, Confucius didn't care at all.
After the wine and food came up, Ji Pingzi beckoned Lege to eat and drink, and continued to speak.
Confucius didn't care about the two of them, they should eat and drink. But! He's still so gentle, not the kind who eats meat and drinks in big bowls. No one paid attention to him, but he was much freer and ate whatever he wanted.
"Although we are both nobles, our identities are not different! We, the nobles, are different from the other nobles. Those of us who may inherit the title are not as good as other nobles! Ji Pingzi sighed.
"Oh?" The music is more harmonious than the ground.
"Those nobles! They knew they couldn't inherit the title, so they had to get by. Their lives are luxury. And we! Although we also live a luxurious life, we have to be responsible. We are officials, and we are responsible for the country of Lu! Responsible for everyone! Alas! ”
"This?"
"If we are not responsible! We have inherited the title, but our children and grandchildren will not be able to inherit it. Isn't it? If you can't serve the country and the people, you will be excluded by others. Even! The kingdom of Lu will be destroyed. Isn't it? ”
"This?" After listening to the music, I couldn't help but admire Ji Pingzi.
He really didn't expect it: Ji Pingzi can still have such insight and understanding?
All of a sudden! Lege really didn't think about it: would you say that you don't necessarily really do that?
Everyone understands the truth! Anyone can say beautiful things! But they just pay lip service.
Just like some people in modern society, they were fighting corruption and advocating clean government at a work conference in the morning, but they were taken away by the inspection team in the afternoon. He was a problem man himself, the kind of person he talked about at his morning work meeting.
So! Serving the people in words is false, and no matter how beautiful the words are, they are false. It is only true if it is realized.
There is a scale in the hearts of the people: the people think that you are a good leader, and you are a truly good leader. The selection, hype, and public opinion propaganda may all be fake.
But! Ji Pingzi is right about one thing. That is! Those nobles who cannot inherit the title are the spokesmen of the luxurious life of the aristocracy. These people! Get by, and be happy for a while.
Because! The consequence of not being able to inherit the title is: his generation is happy, and from now on, one generation is not as good as the next. At last! Completely reduced to the common people.
If you miss this village, you won't have this shop. So! You're not happy, you're stupid!
For example! We are brothers and sisters, but we are not eligible for a knighthood. There is only one title, which is inherited according to the ancestral system. There is no hope of inheritance, but we are the children of the Father. So! We can touch the light of the Father.
If you can enjoy it, why not take this opportunity?
We can't control the affairs of our children and grandchildren. Furthermore! You don't enjoy it, and you can't save it for your children and grandchildren. Because! It's public expense! It's Lao Tzu's money spent! So! Don't consume nothing. No extravagance, no luxury, no luxury!
The people who inherit the title, although they also consume extravagantly, they have to be responsible. Otherwise! The title may not be passed on, and it will be squeezed out by others.
Even! Because of this, the dynasty has changed!
If you fail to do your job well, you may well lead to the destruction of the state (vassal state). Perished! You still have a Mao knighthood, huh?
