Divide the Lu country

Chapter 699 is confused on the road of life

Confucius devoted himself to the study of Zhou etiquette and made contributions to the cause of etiquette in the state of Lu. So! He basically stood on the official field of Lu State.

Because of the heavy gift of the Lu country, it has established a good image in the world of the Great Zhou. The envoys of various countries are very eager to come to Lu and enjoy the "Lu treatment".

Since the visit of the Prime Minister of Qi, the fame of Confucius has spread in the Qi State. After Qi Jinggong heard about Confucius's talent, he always wanted to dig the foot of the wall of the Lu State, dig Confucius over to serve him, and do things for the Qi State.

In order to justify the name, Qi Jinggong began to create momentum, saying how Confucius was. Outcome! Confucius was not only very famous in Qi State, but also became even more famous in Lu State.

Confucius was originally famous in the small area of Lu State, for example! In terms of creating private schools, he has already become famous in a small area.

In the Lu State official, because of the suppression of Ji Pingzi and others, Confucius made a difference.

But! With the popularity of Qi State, Lu Zhengcheng took advantage of this opportunity to reuse Confucius. But Ji Pingzi quit, and he didn't want Confucius to return to Lu Gong's side. So! I had to pay attention to it.

Oh, yes! Foreign kings all reuse Confucius, can you not reuse the doctor of Lu State? If you don't reuse, then! Confucius was snatched away.

Therefore! Under pressure from the outside world, Ji Pingzi and others had to re-examine it. Confucius! Since then, it has been paid due attention in the country of Lu.

On the surface! Confucius has a reputation and is valued. But Confucius knew very well in his heart that Ji Pingzi and others were only forced by external pressure, but in fact, they did not actually reuse him. He! Becoming the second of Lu Gong (Lu Zhaogong) is just a puppet.

What's the use of giving you fame? It's just that the reputation is better. You don't have real power, you can't actually do anything.

Confucius didn't want this false name, he just wanted to restore the Zhou rites and make the Lu country a real state of etiquette. Rather than a superficial situation, in fact, it is still the original tone.

This kind of false and contrived "state of etiquette" is not what Confucius wanted to see.

What made Confucius even more unacceptable was that Ji Pingzi and others had a set behind the surface, when there were foreign friends present, they were very "courteous" people, taking Duke Lu seriously as a king, and he himself acted as a courtier in all aspects. But as soon as the guest leaves, or behind the guest's back, he immediately changes a person.

Therefore! There is "Bayu dancing in the court, it is tolerable, which is unbearable!" ”

一侑 refers to a column of eight people, and eight to eight is eight columns of eight eight or sixty-four people. And Zhou Li stipulates that this level of singing and dancing can only be treated by Zhou Tianzi. But Ji Pingzi and others let the people below sing and dance like this behind their backs.

Why was Confucius so angry?

It's because! After he was appointed by Ji Pingzi as the master of ceremonies, these programs were all arranged by him. Originally, it was assumed that Zhou Tianzi came to Lu to inspect the world, and Lu gave Zhou Tianzi such treatment. Outcome! Ji Pingzi and the others took it to enjoy it for themselves.

When Confucius learned of this, he was so angry that he almost hit Ji Pingzi on the spot.

But! He is a courtier, and his rank is lower than Ji Pingzi and others. Therefore! Can't say it directly. Furthermore! If you accuse, people will just say it! I'm here to test them and don't let them get rusty.

If you ask again, what if people don't talk about your rehearsal? Isn't it the same as enjoying this treatment? Can you say you didn't enjoy this treatment?

In the face of the sophistry of the powerful, all your reasons are untenable.

Therefore! Confucius felt that he had no way to stay in the state of Lu.

This is not? The Qi side has already extended an olive branch to itself?

So! Confucius took advantage of the opportunity of "visiting scholars" to go to the country of Qi.

On the surface! Confucius went to be a "visiting scholar" and was invited by the Qi State to give lectures. In fact! Confucius wanted to go to the country of Qi to display his talents and carry forward the Zhou rites.

Outcome! Confucius was instructed by Ji Pingzi, the Duke of Lu, to visit the state of Qi.

Confucius did not go to Qi without permission, but a "public faction".

Legend! On Confucius's visit to Qi, he met someone who played "Shao music". Confucius studied Shao music with a musician.

Shao music is ancient music, and the legend is that it is the court Shao music of the Shun Emperor period, and it is also "national music".

What is Chinese music? It is the music that must be played when the country has a celebration.

Confucius was not reused in the Lu Kingdom, so he longed for the peaceful scene during the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. So! He is particularly interested in Shao Le. I have an interest in learning and I am very serious about learning.

After arriving in the state of Qi, Confucius was reused by the Duke of Qi Jing. Qi Jinggong was also ready to give him a piece of land to stay in the Qi Kingdom. But Confucius did not accept it and rejected Qi Jinggong's kindness.

In fact! It's not that he doesn't accept it, but! He inadvertently saw the jealousy and dissatisfaction of Qi Jinggong's courtiers against him. Under the hints and threats of some people, he not only did not dare to accept it, but also had to leave the Qi country.

That's it! Confucius returned from the state of Qi again.

Because he was sent to Qi State, so! After returning to Lu, he was still an official of Lu. On the surface! Everything remains the same. Even! Bigger than the previous official position. But in essence! He was even more unreused by Ji Pingzi and others.

Confucius, who was unable to display his talents, once again entered a period of confusion in life.

Confucius's life has entered several periods of confusion. When he was a teenager, he entered a period of confusion and thought about life.

At that time! In order to reduce the burden on his parents, he chose to give up his studies and resolutely joined the funeral band, playing mourning music at other people's funerals, in order to earn money and reduce the burden on his mother.

If he had ignored his mother's health and hard work, he might have been able to complete his studies and become a real scholar.

A person who has completed a formal education in a public school is equivalent to a person in modern society who has completed a university and can find a job. And also! He could inherit his father's title. From now on! Live the life of a real man. Live an aristocratic life without worrying about food and clothing.

But he couldn't! He couldn't bear to watch his mother (Yan Zhengzai) dragging his sick body to work to earn money for him to go to school.

Confucius's second period of confusion was after his mother's death, after he participated in Ji Pingzi's banquet activities and was rejected by Yang Hu. He was confused for a long time and decided to change the situation in front of him.

Just right! Song Guo sent a letter and asked him to go to Song Guo to greet his relatives. He took advantage of this opportunity to leave the Lu State and go to the Song State to marry the Qi Guan clan.

After returning from the Song Kingdom to marry Qi Guan, in order to change his fate, he gave up the opportunity to play the funeral to earn money and prepared to run a private school. Outcome! The private school was not successful, but the savings on hand were used up.

This is a while! Confucius was confused! Even! Very incompetent and helpless! In the face of real life, he didn't change at all.

The third time I was confused was after the success of the private school and the reuse of Lu Gong and Ji Pingzi. No! It was the time when Ji Pingzi was driven home by Ji Pingzi's power to be idle.

Later, there was a new improvement in private learning, and he came out of the confusion.

This time! It was the fourth confusion in Confucius's life.

Although he is still working in the Lu Palace, he still gets Ji Pingzi's attention on the surface, but in his heart, he can't bear it.

Therefore! He asked Lu Gong Ji Pingzi to go to Luoyi to find Lao Tzu to "greet the gift".

Going to the Zhou Tibetan Room in Luoyi of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to greet Lao Tzu was just an excuse. Asking for gifts is one of them, and asking about life is the main purpose.
