Kong Qiu lived too depressed, although he didn't admit it, although he showed that he was gentle and elegant to people, smiling, indifferent, and gentle, but he was really too depressed.

Repression is not due to the unfulfilled political ambitions, but to the loss of people's hearts.

The mourning made him Confucius see no hope for the future of the world.

Every late at night, he would always sit up in his clothes, look at the cold stars in the sky, tears in his eyes, and be silent for a long time.

He can see it for himself and let it go for himself, but if he wants to learn Lao Tzu to "see and let go" for the future of the world, he Kongqiu can't do it, he really can't do it!

Is it really as Lao Tzu said, people's hearts are like rivers, and they are advancing in the direction of despicable and downstream, and no human force can stop them?

Oh no!

There must be a way.

Yes, there must be.

Kong Qiu is unwilling to give up, even if he is dying, he is not willing to give up.

But after becoming the great secretary of the Lu State, in the face of the real predicament, Kong Qiu gradually despaired, but he couldn't show despair, because he was Kong Qiu.

The man who once shouted that he would not aim for his father's uncle Liang Su, that he would succeed in surpassing him, and that he had the courage to chase his dreams with Zhou Gong as his goal.

Father is so surpassed, but what about Zhou Gong?

Zhou Gong "one" has won the hearts of the people, but now the "one" is gone.

I want to be "one", but I can't!

It's gone, it's gone!

Qufu City, a plain manuscript.

Shao Zhengmao died, and was accidentally killed by Kong Qiu with a cane!

Everyone was stunned.

Xiang Lu couldn't believe it, and when he saw the body of his master, his eyes were shattered on the spot, and he cried blood, and howled: "Kong Zhongni! ”

Eventually, the man fainted and fell to the ground.

In Sikong Mansion, Kong Qiu put the seal of his clothes and all the things given to him by the monarch of the Lu Kingdom, and then wore coarse linen clothes, and came to the tablet shrine of the ancestors of the Lu monarchs, and cried loudly.

In the afternoon dusk, Kong Qiu walked out, he looked at Lu Ai Gongji and wept the old tears, knelt down again and again, and then curled up, bent his back, and walked away on crutches, like a slowly crawling turtle.

Zhong You wanted to help him, but Kong Qiu pushed him away: "No need to help, you can't help him!" ”

After that, he looked up at the sunset, dyed black sky, watched the wild geese flying by the red clouds, and seemed to return to the familiar earthen thatched hut in front of him, and he took the bacon that he had worked hard for a day as a drummer, and ran excitedly to the mother of the spinning machine: "Mother look, bacon."

The mother wiped the tired sweat beads from her forehead, stood up, patted her back that was sore from the fatigue of weaving, and then looked at herself seriously, and shouted: "Kong Qiu, how can you be a drummer if you are the son of Shu Liang Su?"

"Mother, son doesn't want you to be tired"

Silent.

"No matter how tired your mother is, you can't be a drummer, remember, you are the son of Shu Liangsu"

"Mother!"

"Uncle Liangsu? Haha......"

"Father?"

"Mother, I really don't understand why you want to be a man like your father?"

"Is he really good? Is it great? ”

"If it is good and great, why should he abandon us?"

"It's okay if I don't want to be a drummer, but I don't want to be an uncle Liang Su, at least I don't want to do it, my son doesn't want to do it!"

In the silent thatched house, the mother hugged herself and cried.

Mother! I'm coming......

Kong Qiu's eyes were full of tears, and his body collapsed like Mount Tai, like a jade pillar supporting the sky and fell backwards.

The crutch that Lu Di had given him fell off from his hand, and then slowly rolled down the stone steps until it fell where it could not be rolled off.

The sonorous roar, the mournful voice!

"Master!" Nakayu couldn't hold back his knees anymore and cried. At this moment, he seemed to have expected it. It's just that he still doesn't want to believe that the master is gone like this?

This time the old Kongqiu never got up again.

When the news of Kongqiu's death reached Lu Di's ears, it was when he announced that he had finished his claim to the king.

Dressed in a crown and crown robe, when he heard the news, he was on the sacrificial platform on the spot, and burst into tears.

Pedant!

A hiss roar came out of Lu Di's mouth.

The 500,000 soldiers and civilians who participated in the ceremony were all wept with sorrow.

Kong Qiu died, and the news of Lu Di's proclamation of the king spread all over the world, and for a while, the whole world was silent, and everyone stopped their work and looked in the direction of the capital of the Son of Heaven, wanting to hear what the Son of Heaven would answer.

The Son of Heaven's answer was very simple: the country of Qi, the country of Chiyou, the country of the people of Li, we and the descendants of Yan and Huang will be destroyed.

Everyone is very contemptuous of the answer of the Son of Heaven, is it a punishment? Do people care about Qi Guo?

Of course, Qi Guo didn't care, Qi Guo immediately issued a message to the world, explaining Lu Di's origin, Qi Guo's origin, and examples, all of which proved that Lu Di was not the legacy of Li Min, and Qi was not the country of Chiyou, and at the same time called on the world, and a new era of "King Wu Conquering" began.

When Ji Ren, the son of heaven, saw the text, he was so angry that he vomited three liters of blood on the spot.

But the next more awesome and sensational news came out, which made Ji Ren faint and vomit blood.

Because the news is: Song Jinggong of the Song Kingdom was hunting in the west field, and met a hoe merchant from Fei Guo who came to vote, and the hoe merchant offered the Rui beast unicorn, and Song Jinggong was overjoyed, saying that he had to be blessed by Cang, so he was also called the king!

Riding a horse, the Song Kingdom is the king? Is it true that a prince in this world can be called a king?

Everyone was first shocked by Qilin's broken reason, and then scolded, obviously they didn't believe Song Guo's deceptive statement, and then their eyes were shining, and they looked at their own monarch.

Soon they also got the results they hoped for: with the outbreak of the sequelae of the Song State being the king, the Chen State who fought against the Song State also became the king in order to compete with the Song State at the same level, and the Cai State was also the king, Chen Cai was also the king, Zhao State, Qin State, Zheng State, Zhongshan State, and South Korea saw this posture and also called themselves kings, and in the end, only Wei, Lu, Jin, and Wei were left, and these countries did not claim to be kings.

The reason why the Lu Kingdom, the Wei Kingdom, and the Jin Kingdom did not claim the title of king was because they were a country within a country, and there were only less than three cities, and to be called a king was to find death.

The reason why Fei Guo did not claim to be the king was because he claimed to be the orthodox country of the Duke of Zhou, and he had just been canonized by the Son of Heaven, so he did not dare to be the king.

The reason why Wei is not called the king is because Wei has a new king, that is, Ji Ren, the Son of Heaven, it turns out that after Wei was divided into several large territories by Qin, Zhao and Bai, the lord Wei Ju was under the advice of Wang Xu, taking advantage of the panic of the Son of Heaven, playing the banner of King Qin, and going south to invade the land of Zhou Wangji, and doing the policy of "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes".

Wei Ju agreed, so Wei did not claim the title of king, but his current territorial scope is even greater than before he was called the lord of the country, and he can be called the second largest country in the Central Plains, known as the king without king.

As for the Shu Kingdom, the Chu Kingdom, and the Yue Kingdom, these three kingdoms were originally known as kings.

Now the whole world is full of kings' worlds.

Regarding this successive incidents, Lu Di just sneered: The monkey is also the king? Call it, call it, the more you call the hearts of the people in the world, the more scattered they are, and the more scattered they are, the more powerful they are to unify the world.

Lu Di said that the queen encountered the first trouble, that is, the 800 disciples of Confucius at the same time to express their leave, saying that they were going to mourn for Kongqiu.

For the filial piety and sincerity of these people, Lu Di did not stop it, but allowed it. It's not that he doesn't worry that these people will bring chaos to the local governance of Qi at the same time, but he doesn't want the great work "Analects" to disappear into the world because of his short-term selfishness.

Lu Di deeply knew that in the three years of mourning of the Confucian disciples, it was the real moment when the wisdom of the Confucian disciples exploded. He didn't want that real moment to be gone.

As for so many people at the same time, Lu Di could only select talents from Taishan Academy Palace and Donglin Academy Palace to temporarily take over their positions, but Taishan Academy Palace and Donglin Academy Palace could not draw so many people for the time being, so Lu Di had no choice but to order their deputy to take charge of the government temporarily.

The army of 500,000 Qi is advancing eastward, and Lu Di is going to destroy Fei this time.

The national territory of the Fei country accounts for 80 percent of the entire Lu country, and the territory that the Lu country itself now has is only a piece of land that extends less than 60 miles outward from Qufu, and there are probably lacquer, insects, pulls, negative slack, and small cities in it.

The capital of the country of Fei is Wucheng, which is Philadelphia.

Sanhuan is in a meeting to decide what to do next?

After a day of noisy and noisy fighting, the three huans broke up unhappily. At night, Ji Sun's family and Shusun's family suddenly launched an attack on Mengsun's family, and Mengsun's retainers and virgin fathers protected Mengsun He Ji to flee, but Mengsun He Ji was unlucky and was killed by random arrows.

Because the Ji Sun family and the uncle Sun family had premeditated it, no matter how brave and wise the public virgin father was, when they broke out of the siege, they found that there were only three surviving heirs of the Meng Sun family.

Due to the slaughter of the Mengsun family, the people of the Fei country were in turmoil, and the Shusun family and the Jisun family jointly issued a reason to stabilize the hearts of the people, saying: "Mengsun He Ji wants to commit treason and take refuge in the Qi country, and the second family has no choice but to do this for the sake of the 'great cause of the Lu country'." ”

At the same time, the retainers of the Mengsun clan in various places were informed that their territorial titles were protected by the Shusun clan and the Jisun clan, and no one had the right to deprive them, but on the contrary, they not only promoted their titles, but also rewarded them with more property, slaves, and land.

Because the measures of the Shusun family and the Jisun family were appropriate, and they were very quick and effective, the people of the Fei people were tentatively settled, and soon after, the territory of the Mengsun family was divided between the Shusun family and the Jisun family.

As a result, the Meng Sun family of Sanhuan officially announced its withdrawal from the stage of history.

When Meng Sunjie, who took refuge in Uncle Jing's house in Nangong Jing, Qufu, Lu State, saw his retainer and virgin father throw away his armor and protect his three younger brothers and came to the desert, his whole face turned pale and frightened, and he pulled up the collar of his father's coat and asked what happened?

Gongyu's virgin father and Meng Sunjie's younger brothers cried when they saw their brother.

In the evening, Meng Sunjie listened to the report of his father, and when he learned that the family had been slaughtered, the people on the spot went crazy and rushed out quickly, shouting that he would take people back to Philadelphia to avenge his grandfather, father, uncle, and a group of brothers and sisters.

But in the end, he was stopped by Uncle Nangong Jing and Nangong Shi, who were guarding filial piety.
