Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 299: Harsh government is fiercer than tigers

Confucius also sighed slightly when he heard the words. After the war, the officials of Yuncheng were ineffective in governing the city, causing the people to run south to Daye and east to Zhongdu. (Baidu search network updates the fastest and most stable) Confucius had no reason to refuse the people who wanted to live, and he couldn't think of a way to get corn for the time being, so he had to ask his disciples to borrow money from neighboring towns, and he himself went into battle and came to the Sun of Mount Tai. One circle, but nothing, but now it is a waste of time.

However, Zi Lu's anger didn't stop there.

Their lips were a little dry and cracked. It turned out that the three of them walked to the place called the Thief Spring at night. They were tired and thirsty at that time, but Confucius refused to stay in the Thirty Spring and did not drink because he hated its name.

Zilukou was dry and bored, so he played with his temper and criticized Confucius: "It's a good thing, but it's a roundabout way."

Confucius was not angry when his closest apprentice said he was pedantic. He believed in "Three people walk, there must be my teacher; choose the good ones and follow them, and the bad ones and change them". He just smiled and "baked" with Yan Hui.

"Yu, aren't you the same as Hui, didn't you drink the water of the Pirate Spring?"

Zi Lu is dumb, his temperament is straight and brave, and his words are never adulterated and deceived, but in fact he respects and loves Confucius very much. father and brother.

If there is a different point of view on the same thing, he will immediately put it up. Unlike Zai Yu and Yan Hui, he never hides it, and even speaks against Confucius. At one point he doubted whether Confucius’s behavior was proper, at another point, he said that Confucius was too broad. He even thought that reading was not the only way to become a talent. Stand up and stop. Such frankness is something that other disciples do not have.

Yan Hui turned his head and said, "Master. Zigong farms goods for Doctor Zhao, and runs industries in Taoyi. Taoyi is the world. Where the five grains meet, if you ask him for help, you may be able to solve the urgent need and allow Zhongduyi to survive. autumn harvest."

Even though Zigong only shared one-tenth of the income from the goods, he is now very wealthy.

In the face of Zigong's wealthy merchants, some disciples who are still poor and humble are somewhat appetizing, and some even think that Zigong's wealth is unkind, condoning gambling and extravagant business.

to this. Confucius kept silent, while Yan Hui said frankly to his fellow disciples: "As a Confucian scholar, one should be as poor as rich, as cheap as noble, and everyone has their own aspirations, so why criticize Zigong?"

Afterwards, Confucius praised him and said: "One basket of food, one scoop of drink, living in a poor alley, people are unbearable, and he will not change his joy when he returns!"

He was always smiling, and was a mediator in the occasional conflict between Confucius and Zilu.

Facing this suggestion, Confucius closed his eyes slightly and said: "Although Ci is a free body, in fact, he is already regarded as a retainer of the doctor of the Zhao family. It's still going to be difficult, so we'll still find a way to do it ourselves, don't make it difficult for you."

Confucius was also hesitating. Not far ahead was Yangguan, which was directly under the jurisdiction of Yanghu. Since Yanghu had power over Lubang, there was no shortage of millet. If he went to him for help, would he be able to get help?

"This will definitely be tainted with stigma, but I was originally established by Yanghuo to become a ruler. I just don't know how Sanhuan, the people of the country, and all the disciples will treat me after the incident..."

Confucius was in a dilemma. Looking up at the top of Mount Tai, I fell into contemplation.

He and Yang Hu had a long-standing feud, because both of them were tall when they were young. Therefore, the appearance is somewhat similar, and Yang Hu, who was already a retainer of the Ji clan at the time, hated Confucius quite a bit. When Confucius was in the Ji clan's territory, Confucius went there, but was stopped by Yang Hu in front of the door. He proudly said: "Ji clan's gentleman, you don't dare to eat your son." .

However, after 30 years, when Yanghu was specializing in Lu, he began to cultivate people and train party members everywhere in the country regardless of the 3721. Under the recommendation of Fei Zai Gong Shan Buju, he wanted to use Confucius, who was very famous among the country and nobles, to force him to serve.

In Yanghu's character, there is a bit of "disregarding previous suspicions".

But Confucius did not forget the insults he received in those years, so he was deeply disgusted with Yanghu, and at the same time he was forced by his power.

Yangguanyi was getting closer and closer, but at this moment, Yan Hui stopped the carriage: "Master, someone is crying ahead."

Confucius looked up, but outside a barren farmhouse, there was a newly erected tomb, and an old woman wearing kudzu cloth was weeping and feeling sad.

He frowned and listened to the car, and then sent Zilu over to ask: "Auntie, you cry like this, it seems that you have encountered misfortune more than once."

The old woman raised her ravine face and looked at Zilu, with tears flowing in between, she said sadly: "Of course! My uncle died in the tiger's mouth before, and my husband also died in the tiger's mouth, and now my son is the same! How can my concubine not die? sad?"

Taishan has no dense population and tourists in later generations, and there are many tigers among them, harming one side.

Hearing this, Zilu burst into anger and said angrily, "Which mountain is the tiger's den on? Wait until I go and kill the evil tiger! For this reason, I will get rid of a calamity!"

After saying that, he was about to go up the mountain with a halberd to fight the tiger, but he was stopped by Yan Hui.

"Zi Lu, it's over! Have you forgotten how the Master taught you? When you hear something that is in line with righteousness, you must ask your father and brother before you can do it, and listen to what the Master has to say."

Zilu and Ran Qiuzeng asked Confucius successively, what should they do when they hear something that is in line with righteousness and etiquette?

Confucius said to Zilu that he must first ask his father and brother to do it; but to Ran Qiu, he should do it immediately after hearing it.

The later disciple Gong Xichi was puzzled, why the Master gave different answers to the two brothers when faced with a question. Confucius replied: "I beg and retreat." Ran You, this person, is a little timid, and it is rare to take the initiative to do something, so I will push him. "You are also a person." Zilu likes to outshine others, like a wild horse, so he will put a bridle on him.

Facing the irritable Zilu, Confucius also said solemnly: "Yu, Shi Yan, 'Don't dare to be violent, dare not Feng He, people know one, but no other'. Taking risks with one's own body is not what a gentleman should do, let alone There are also secrets in this matter, you should step back first. Let the teacher come and ask in person."

Zilu also knew that he was impulsive, so he backed away and changed to Confucius to get off. Respectfully worshipped in front of the tomb, and then asked the old woman kindly, "Auntie. There are many tigers in Mount Tai. Since relatives have been killed in a row, why don't you leave this place?"

The old woman wiped her tears and said with a miserable smile: "Xiaqi and others are originally from Yangguan, and the reason why they moved to live at the foot of the mountain is because there is no brutal decree of Yangguan here!"

Confucius was silent, and after a while, he bowed to the tomb again, and left his rations to the old woman. When he got into the car, he sighed and said to Zilu, "Zilu must remember that tyranny is stronger than a tiger!"

Zilu was taught awe-inspiringly.

Then Confucius said to Yan Hui, "Turn around."

From this, Yan Hui knew that the Master would not go to Yangguan to help Yanghu in a low voice. Yanghu was rich and unkind in Yangguan, forcing the people to flee, and would rather face tiger troubles than go back and suffer tyranny. To ask Yanghu for a share of food is to add a little bit of tyranny to the people of Yangguan Lu. This kind of thing is not a gentleman's act.

"It's better to go back and find another way. I just hope that I will have something. I can gain something."

Just like when they came, the three of them were driving alone on the mountain road.

Confucius turned his head to look at the tomb that was getting smaller and smaller, and sighed in his heart: "The first tax is mu, and the hills are built. It is called innovation, but although the treasury is full, the people are more and more oppressed, and the public land has even reached the level of innovation. Two-half of the tax. Looking at the state of Lu, there are so many officials and officials who are in charge of tyranny. Now that Zhen and Linqiu have entered Lu, I just hope that the doctor of the Zhao family can do a little good governance as he said..."

At the fork in the road, Yan Hui held the bridle and asked, "Master. Shall we go back to the Central Capital?"

Kongqiu narrowed his eyes and said, "No, go to Qufu."

"Doctor Liu Xiaji from Lucheng Pedestrian Office. Gongshan clan in Feiyi, you can try to ask them for help."

...

And far away in Zhongdu. Zhao Wuxi also left the captured Onoze robbers here, and after staying overnight, he set off again and headed east to Qufu.

Ran Qiu had a very pleasant chat with Zhao Wuxi yesterday, and he was very eloquent when it came to political affairs, and was highly rewarded by Zhao Wuxi.

In the early morning, when they walked out of the almost undefended inner city, the group encountered a group of happy people who looked up at a middle-aged man on the city wall with a smile.

The man was in his forties and looked handsome. He had a thick beard and no bun. Just like that, he was sitting casually on the wall that was several meters high, holding a shovel in his arms and playing softly. There was a three or four-year-old child beside him, who was crawling on the ground with innocent big eyes. on the man's thigh.

The voice was clear and melodious, and the people of Zhongdu and even the soldiers of Zhao Wuxi were stunned.

This is also the most beautiful music Zhao Wuxi has heard since he left Jin, and it is on par with the musician Gao, the official musician of the lower palace, but the elegant and lively but elegant sound of the musician Gao has never been seen in it.

Yesterday, I met Zhong Gong and Min Ziqian, who are somewhat old-fashioned. Ran Qiu and Gong Xichi are also gentlemen of courtesy, but now such a reckless old man suddenly appeared in front of him. T-shirt found it interesting, and couldn't help but ask, "Who is this?"

Ran Qiu said helplessly: "It's Qiu's senior brother Zixi, and that child is his youngest son..."

Zixi, also known as Zeng Dian, was the oldest disciple of Confucius.

"Zixi is good at music and has always been unrestrained in temperament. When Ji Wuzi, a doctor of the State of Lu, died, he used to 'sing by his door' when he went to express his condolences. At that time, someone asked him that if the Shangqing of the State of Lu passed away, you don't need to be sad. But sitting on the lintel and singing, is this really good? Does the doctor know how Zixi responded?"

"Appreciate further details."

"Zi Xi said, all things are transformed, and so are people. People return to nature when they die, just like branches and leaves fall to the ground, nourishing trees again. This cycle is something to be rejoiced in. Ji Wuzi will rest in peace in heaven and earth. It's been a while, but I'm going to cry, why bother to come? Zixi was finally kicked away by the Ji clan, and since then he has been called the 'Scholar of Lu'."

Zhao Wuxi is dumbfounded~www.wuxiahere.com~Is this still Confucianism? This casual and uninhibited, is already the Taoist style of "Zhuangzi's wife dies, drums and sings"!

ps:

The Master said: I wish to express empty words, but it is better to see them deeply and clearly in my actions.

The Confucius written by Qiyue is just my subjective impression. If it does not match the Confucius imagined by the readers, please slap it lightly. However, the words and actions of Confucius and his disciples were basically described in the original texts of the Analects of Confucius, The Book of Rites, and the Family of Confucius, combined with epic interpretations.
