What Lijun said was the old trick of Lu Guo to swing and stand in line before, which is the same as the situation of Lu Hou agreeing to the entry of Qi State and Gongzi Fen secretly communicating with the Mo family to express his support for the Mo family.

But what Lu Hou is worried about is not the attitude between the two countries, but the intention of abdicating the regent to give an explanation to the Mo family. When the time comes, instigate the relationship between father and son, although the real father and son are not as good as the Yin Gong and the Huan Gong back then, but this kind of thing is also difficult to say.

Taking history as a mirror, King Zhao Wuling starved to death in the sand dunes has not yet happened, but when Duke Qi Huan died, the five princes competed for the throne, so that maggots crawled out of Duke Qi Huan's body and climbed out of the window without reining in, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to have true love in front of power.

Plough Ji did not directly mention this possible blood, but asked a question that he didn't seem to want to do, and said: "Your Majesty, after Duke Yin, in the second year of Duke Huan, an incident happened in the Song Kingdom, does your lord know?" ”

In the tenth year of Duke Huan, something did happen in the Song Kingdom, and when Lu Hou heard this, he immediately understood what he wanted to say.

In the second year of the reign of Duke Huan, it was the tenth year of the Duke of Song, when there was a roar full of justice in the capital of the Song Kingdom, and its slogan was just like what the Mohists said now, "Benefit the world".

In those years, a man shouted in the capital: "The king has succeeded to the throne for ten years, but he has fought eleven times. The people have suffered from the war, for the sake of peace and the interests of the people, please follow me to kill Song Gong and the traitor Kong Fujia who bewitched Song Gong! ”

The person who shouted these words was the Dazai Huadu of the Song Kingdom. So he instigated the people, killed Song Gong, and hacked Confucius to death.

In fact, Hua Du shouted these words, in fact, it had nothing to do with the people suffering from the war, because Hua Du caught a glimpse of Kong Fatherjia's wife and praised it as "beautiful and glamorous", so he killed Kong Father Jia and occupied Kong Father Jia's wife, and by the way, he hacked to death the Duke of Song.

But the reason he shouted in the capital at that time was the same as the slogan of the Mohists now, and the slogan of the revolution that is taking place in Feiguo now: for the peace of the people and for the benefit of the people.

As for whether it is really for the benefit of the people, or just for the sake of "beautiful and glamorous" wives like Huadu, there is not much difference for the monarch, and the result is the same.

At that time, the abolition of the monarch really needed to have nobles in the lead, but if the people of the capital did not support it, it would not be successful.

Hua Du coveted the beauty of Confucius's wife, although he had his own ambitions and goals, but his words were also deafening and won the support of the people, which led to the fact that the rebellion did not meet with large-scale resistance.

The purpose of getting rid of Hua Du because of that "beautiful and glamorous" woman, the words he said on the surface are the same as the current affairs of the Fei State and the affairs of Sishang, it is the people who can not bear the hardships of labor and harsh government that choose the righteousness of the Mo family.

Today, when Lu Hou talks about hidden affairs, this is a metaphor.

He himself wanted to emulate the Yin Gong and build a regency in seclusion, but he was very worried that someone would learn from the son of the year to instigate the relationship between him and his son Gongzi Fen.

In case the son turns his face and denies the person and kills his father, it is not impossible.

The plough obviously understood Lu Hou's metaphor from the beginning, and since Lu Hou used the past as a metaphor for the present, then he also followed Lu Hou's words and used ancient things to advise.

Everything is nothing but the reincarnation and repetition of the past, and that has never changed.

Plough Ji talked about the matter of the prince waving back then, and said that the governor of Song Guohua killed the monarch in the name of righteousness in the past, not to say how important the reconstruction and attention of etiquette was, but to remind Lu Hou.

Now what Lu Hou should beware of is not the matter of the prince instigating the father-son to fight when he was the hidden prince, but the fact that Hua Du raised the righteousness and killed the king.

Lu Hou was silent for a long time and said, "Hua Du saw the beauty of Kong's father Jia's wife back then, so he walked these rumors. At that time, it was for the sake of a wife. ”

The plough said: "Wife, Hua Du does what he wants, and he thinks it is a treasure, so he can kill the king." ”

"Huadu is a good wife, but others may not be good wives. However, Huadu is a good treasure, but others are also good treasures, but Huadu takes his wife as a treasure, but others may use power, wealth, and fiefdom as treasures, is there any difference in this? ”

This sentence touched Lu Hou's heart at once, and the essence of the incident analyzed by Li Ji back then, used in the present, is to say: "Your Majesty, you are worried that after the regent is in seclusion, someone will instigate your son to kill you." However, aren't you worried that your son ascended to the heights and shouted: "The king is not righteous, and the Lu people suffer a lot from it, and they should be punished?" ”

He talked about the old things of the time of Duke Yin and Duke Huan, but compared the prince to two people.

Lu Hou and the prince are now singing double reeds and swaying between Qi and ink, so that the prince is just like the prince of the year.

Prince Fen is now in frequent contact with the Mo family, once the Mo family wins, then why can't Prince Fen kill the king for the sake of power for the sake of power like Hua Tu back then?

Seeing that the plough had said it so clearly, Lu Hou no longer had to use the past as a metaphor for the present, but retreated left and right, and sighed: "All the kings of the court, only you can know my thoughts." ”

"The Mo family has won the battle in Nanji Water, and this battle between Qi and Mo is nothing more than the result of the Mo family's victory and victory, but the victory and defeat have been divided on the shore of Nanji Water."

"Qi Tian Qing Gongzi slaughtered Wucheng at noon, which is unforgivable in the rules of the Mo family, and this matter is better than stopping. At that time, tens of thousands of righteous soldiers will come to Qufu and ask me what I will do about the crime of making the border of Qi? ”

Lu Hou's face was gloomy, and he scolded in his heart, thinking: "If the country is weak, there is no diplomacy." No matter the old rites and new righteousness, they are all the same domineering, what is the crime of widowhood? It's nothing more than being sandwiched between Qi and ink, if you don't sway, what can you do? Qi is not a good bird, and the continuous annexation wars over the years have encroached on most of the land of Lu; The righteousness of the Mo family is not a good thing, the change of the Fei country, the Lu country will be affected, and when the time comes, there will be no king and no father, and people's minds will change, and it will also be a big chaos. ”

But now that the defeat of the Qi State has been decided, Lu Hou does not talk about the pressure of the Qi State, but talks about the possible questioning of the Mo family, which is the top priority at present, and it is also an important factor for him to want to use the regency to retreat and push the prince to the throne to give the Mo family an explanation.

The Mo family doesn't care about Gongzi's rise to the top, but the Mo family does things with handouts, then there must be a famous teacher, the Mo family has done things over the years and is still well-known, and it has not yet reached the point of "I am strong if I annex you by myself, what do I have to do with you".

He was worried that he would be killed by his son after his regent.

Now that he is ploughing, there is another possibility: if he does not abdicate, his son will kill him in the name of righteousness, and the people of the country may not object.

This is just a possibility, this possibility does exist, but Lu Hou is not like King Yue, he wants to kill his son for this possibility, he is not crazy to this extent.

Lijun is also a sage, who was able to say "far water does not save near fire", and now of course he can also see the situation between Qi, Mo and Lu.

So he said: "What the king said is extremely true. In the battle of Nanjishui, the Qi people were defeated. The Linzi army may not be the opponent of the suitable, the suitability of the tartar is not defeated in Luyang, Lushui, and Jishui, although Tian Qing can but can't. ”

"What can you do if you are undefeated? After the war, how could the Qi people re-enter Surabaya? Besides, even if you attack Surabaya, with the ability of the Mo family to defend the city, how many cities can you capture when you are tired? ”

"Now that Pingyin has been broken, the door of Linzi is wide open, and the defeat of Qi is irreparable. The Mo family has sent envoys to ask for guilt three times, if we still want to borrow food from the Qi people, after the Mo family wins, how can the righteous teachers from Zou, Fei, Fang, and Xuan enter the country to ask for guilt? ”

"Linzi is thousands of miles away, and the Mo family can't last. But Wucheng entered Qufu in just a few days. Lu Mo fought, and the Qi people were not able to rescue, even if the rescue would take faster to arrive in Qufu from Linzi than the time for the Mo family to enter Qufu from Wucheng? ”

This is just like when Luhou sent his sons to Jin and Chu to defend against the invasion of Qi, it was too late at that time.

Zhou Gong ceremony, Lu as the descendants of the Zhou Dynasty feudal country, on the surface is very important, but from the era of the Yin Gong began to appear six bad rites: the six are the three princes, the three are the three dukes, after the bird only inherited the fiefdom of the Lu State, but did not inherit the position of the three dukes, can only use the gifts of the princes.

After that, Sanhuan was in turmoil, and the country of Lu was weak, even if he had the heart to protect the courtesy, he had no strength.

Besides, the Mo family is near the Lu country, and the road from Wucheng to Qufu is all the way, so the Lu country will naturally not be stupid enough to carry the banner of the protector and the anti-Mexico alliance.

Plough Ji said: "When the people of Sui Qi borrowed the road, the people of the country complained. The righteous master of the Mo family is innocent of Lu, and he let Liang's father and doctor enter Wucheng through Lu, and the Lu people praise the Mo family for having a gentleman's style. The righteousness of the Mo family was mostly spread in the Lu country, and because of the rescue of Xiang Zi Niu Valu, the king also allowed Mo Zhai to run a school at will in the Lu country...... The Lu people themselves have their hearts set on the Mo family. ”

"The Qi people have cut down Lu many times, and when they were in charge of Zhongzhong, the land occupied by the Qi people in the Lu State made the people of the Lu State pay double taxes, which made the Lu people have no good impression of the Qi people. A few years ago, Qilu was even more hateful, and he didn't mention the matter of Wen Jiang Huan Gong back then. ”

"Now that the Mo family has won, the Qi people still want us to transport grain and grass. Since the techniques of wheat, ox ploughing, and ridge cultivation were introduced to Ludi, the midsummer moon is the busy season for farming, and at this time, the people are recruited to carry grain for the Qi people......"

The plough paused, and suddenly said: "In case someone raises his arms in Qufu and shouts: The king is unrighteous, causing the Lu people to suffer a lot, it is better to punish him...... What will you do? ”

"Or some people say: Gongzi Fen is more virtuous, and he is good friends with the Mo family, and Gongzi Fen should be the king...... What will you do? ”

"Even if Gongzi Fen is unintentional, will he learn from Taber and flee without taking his position when the time comes? Besides, with the righteousness of the Mo family, doesn't the monarch know how Mo Zhai commented on the fact that Prince Lu did not succeed to the throne in the rebellion of Chu Bai Gongsheng back then? ”

Lu Hou clapped his hands and said: "This is exactly why I talked about the matter of dodder and fish watching." Am I not worried about that? However, what happened to the hidden father who wanted to grow old and watch the fish in the Tang in the past? I can't decide. ”

"Everyone in the court, only you know my heart, what should I do?"
