"This?" Confucius answered, and there was no follow-up.

I thought: If Zhou Tianzi had that ability, the Great Zhou world would not be what it is now? It can be imagined: Zhou Tianzi, like you, is also powerless!

Even! Zhou Tianzi is not as good as you!

At least! You still have your own fiefdom and a certain amount of troops. And what about Zhou Tianzi? Although the Great Zhou world is all his on the surface, in fact he has nothing!

As for the troops, he didn't have them.

Ever since a certain generation of Great Zhou Tianzi divided the land into one prince after another, since the power of the princes increased, those princes no longer listened to Zhou Tianzi's words.

In the past, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty could mobilize the troops under the various princes. But since Zhou Tianzi had no troops in his hands, the other princes no longer listened to him, and they couldn't mobilize their troops.

Zhou Tianzi had no troops, and since then his power has been completely hollow, leaving only the name of "Zhou Tianzi", and he has lost the ability to dominate the world and rectify the world.

From now on! The Great Zhou Dynasty began to be in turmoil, and the princes began to fight for hegemony.

First, the princes annexed each other and expanded their power.

Slowly! There is the Spring and Autumn Five Tyrants.

Before! There are hundreds of small vassal states. Right now! After the princes fought for hegemony, only a few dozen remained. And! It is decreasing almost every year. Sooner or later, the small vassal states will perish, while the big vassal states are getting stronger and stronger.

"Great Zhou World! Etiquette is required! Need to re-enact! It can't go on like this! Lu Gong (Lu Zhaogong) looked at Confucius and said very seriously.

Regarding the words such as "etiquette" and "heavy ceremony", Lu Gong listened to what Confucius said before.

"Yes! Lord! Confucius answered.

"Before the end of the week, everything was courteous. Where is it like now? Everything is out of order! What's going on? Many things are seriously contrary to Zhou etiquette! You see! Is there such a rule in the weekly system? Where is there any servant who does not listen to the king? Where is this going on? But now! They do not listen to the widow, but what do they think of the widow? Where is a widow a king? What's going on? ”

Lu Gong said, spreading his hands towards Confucius, shaking his hands, looking incomprehensible and unacceptable.

"Yes! Master! Kong Qiu has been sorting out Zhou Li recently, but because Qiu is not knowledgeable, he can't get all of it. Confucius looked at Lu Gong with a pitiful expression.

In recent years, Confucius, since his private studies were on the right track, he began to sort out the Zhou system and Zhou etiquette. Unfortunately! He had too little information at hand to comprehensively and systematically sort out the etiquette and system of the Zhou Dynasty.

In the past, that is, after Ji Pingzi's feast, that is, after being rejected and humiliated by Ji Pingzi's retainer Yang Hu, Confucius had the opportunity to enter and leave the Ji Mansion and see the books in the Ji Mansion.

Confucius went to participate in the "Feast" event held by Ji Pingzi, but was rejected by Yang Hu, a retainer of the Ji Mansion. Yang Hu thought that Confucius was not a scholar, and then he believed that Confucius had great filial piety and could not participate in the feast. So! Confucius was not allowed to enter.

At that time, Confucius was not called Confucius, he was still an unknown teenager, and others called him Confucius. The name of Confucius is that when he went to the Song Kingdom to marry the Qi Guan, he showed his talent in the Song Kingdom, and the descendants of his father's old friends respected him as Confucius. Since then, the name of Confucius has spread.

At that time, after Confucius was rejected by Yanghu, Ji Pingzi knew about it, and Ji Pingzi took the time to drive him out and accept Confucius. Because! Ji Pingzi had only inherited the title for a short time, and he needed fame in society before he was forced to accept Confucius.

Confucius's father was a hero of the Lu state, so you must recognize Confucius's status. In order to engage in situationalism, Ji Pingzi accepted Confucius.

But! After coming into contact with Confucius, I found that Confucius was really a talent. So! I paid attention to it.

And what about Confucius! took advantage of this opportunity to often go in and out of Jifu to see the collection of books in Jifu.

Therefore! Confucius was self-taught and learned a lot.

Confucius now! relied on his memory to write down all the books he had read at Ji Pingzi's house before. And then! Ask someone to check, what's wrong? If there is a mistake, correct it, and strive to restore it.

During the period of running a private school, Confucius copied down all the borrowed books and used them as his own collection.

Isn't there a famous saying at the modern gaming table: Confucius moves - it's all books (loses).

How did Confucius's collection of books come about, and that's how they all came about. Buy back the blank book and copy the book on the book. If you have time? Re-burn.

Books copied in simple ink are not wear-resistant. Only by burning it and then writing it in ink can this kind of book be preserved for a long time.

And then later! Confucius was reused by the Duke of Lu and had the opportunity to come into contact with the collection of the Duke Lu family. But! After being reused by Lu Gong, Confucius spent most of his time on work and rarely had time to read. Because he is studious, he still uses his free time to read a lot of books.

Most of Confucius's knowledge was self-taught, not from a professional background.

To know! He lost his father when he was a child and was raised by his mother, Yan Zheng. Orphans and widows, life is not easy. Yan's mother had the intention to let Confucius receive higher education, but her economic strength did not allow it. So! In order to reduce his mother's burden, the sensible Confucius secretly followed others to blow "mourning" to others. That is: playing mourning music at a funeral.

"I have a collection of books here, let you see them!" Lu Gong said.

"Yes! Lord! Confucius replied: "We have too few books in our Lu country!" Though! Our Lu country is different from other vassal states. We, Lu, are the first country to formulate etiquette! Pity! There are still too few that have been handed down! ”

"That?" Lu Gong asked, "How can I collect all of Zhou Li?" ”

"Zhou Zang Room!"

"Weekly Room?"

Confucius nodded and said, "I heard!" In Luoyi Zhou Tianzi, there is a special place to store books, so it is called 'Zhou Zang', which contains important books from all dynasties! ……”

Confucius told Lu Gong everything he had heard.

"Oh?" Lu Gong nodded, feeling that it was very possible: Zhou Tianzi's Luoyi City should have such a library there.

"If we sort out the etiquette system of the Zhou Dynasty, then! By strictly following the etiquette of the week, you can restrain those who break the etiquette system! Only when there is courtesy to follow, can the world be governed! ……”

Confucius talked eloquently and endlessly.

He believes that only by perfecting the etiquette system and acting in strict accordance with the etiquette system can Lu Guo and Zhou Tianxia be governed.

"Good!" Lu Gong listened and nodded incessantly.

"The rebellion of the Lu country began with the collapse of etiquette. So! It must be resigned. ”

Pity! The information at hand is incomplete, and it is impossible to sort out a complete set of "weekly rites". Without a complete set of "weekly rites", you can't convince others! If you can't convince others, you can't implement the Zhou rites.
