There are records in history books that Chu Junzhen appointed Confucius as an official, but there is no mention of what official position he was given.
At the same time, history books also record that Confucius was besieged by Chen and Cai people when he went south, causing Confucius and a group of disciples to be trapped in the wilderness and unable to move, and many died of starvation and illness later on.
According to the historian's opinion, those who besieged Confucius and his disciples were definitely not ordinary people, but nobles from Chen and Cai who led troops to besiege them.
In other words, historians do not have malicious prejudices. In the Spring and Autumn Period, ordinary people were not within the scope of historians' recording field. In the future, the way of recording history will almost evolve into imperial history. The general public will only make a few mentions of certain major events.
How many pens have been reached.
"So, when later generations say that Confucius was an official fanatic, it's not all slander?" Zhiyao finally knew why Confucius hurried south.
In this changed version of history, Confucius has only visited Wei, Song and Jin. His visit to Song was just a passing by, and he stayed in Jin the longest.
When Confucius came to Jin, he was entertained by the Zhi family. Zhi Yao was only interested in recruiting a group of disciples and never invited Confucius to hold any official position.
On the other side of Weiguo? Confucius arrived at Weiguo twice and was entertained by Nanzi once. Weiguo was also interested in a group of disciples and did not solicit Confucius.
As for the Song Dynasty? Confucius frequently tried to undermine the Song Dynasty during the Lu Dynasty, so much so that the kings and nobles of the Song Dynasty were obviously in league with Confucius' ancestors, but they chose to ignore Confucius.
Confucius's ancestors were direct descendants of the Yin and Shang dynasties. He repeatedly blamed the Song Dynasty for inheriting the Yin and Shang dynasties. What was the situation?
The Song State, which had been hacked repeatedly, was able to allow Confucius to cross the border safely many times, either because it was afraid of the one or two thousand horses, or it did not expect that Confucius would gain so much halo in the future.
"Does Yao have any intention of going south?" Zhishen asked.
What do you mean?
In other words, will Chen Guo and Cai Guo make bigger moves against Confucius?
Zhiyao asked: "How did your Excellency know this?"
Zhishen said: "Zishen came to complain."
This Zishen was an envoy sent by the Song State to the Jin State. He mainly wanted to know the Jin State's attitude towards the Song State's attempt to annex the Cao State. By the way, he told some stories, including the difficulties Confucius suffered in the Chen State, as well as those
The tragic experience of "Confucianism".
As for the Song State's intention to annex the Cao State, the countries that should know had already noticed it, and even the Cao State itself was clear.
Cao Guo did not seek help from Jin State. The reason was not other than that Cao Guo felt that Jin's king was disloyal and did not bother to have too much entanglement with Jin.
Look, just because of mysophobia, I am not even willing to ask for help. If the Cao Kingdom is not destroyed, who will be destroyed?
Zhiyao is certain that whenever Cao State really asks for help from Jin State, even if Jin State only pays for nothing, it will still choose to save Cao State, all because Song State interfered in Jin State's internal affairs and was able to repay Cao Xuan Gong's kindness.
.
This Cao Xuangong was Cao Junlu who was shot to death by the Qin army's cold arrows while fighting hard on the battlefield when the Jin State was attacking the Qin State.
"Cao Junyang was in Song Dynasty." Zhishen said.
Zhiyao knew about this matter.
Probably during the "War of Iron", the Song State sent troops to "invite" Cao Junyang back, and then kept Cao Junyang under house arrest in "Diqiu" to eat and drink.
At that time, many Jin nobles secretly speculated that Cao Zuo would be destroyed by Cao Junyang's generation, and they were curious about how Zhizong would deal with it.
In the subsequent development, Zhizhuo focused more on solving internal affairs and had no extra energy to focus on foreign countries.
Zhiyao asked: "What's the attitude of 'Yuan Rong'?"
Zhishen shook his head and did not answer.
At present, Zhao Yang has a lot of troubles of his own. He needs to reform the Zhao family internally, and the country has quite a lot of affairs that need to be dealt with urgently. Externally, he will only pay attention to the state of Wu, and other countries will probably not have time to take care of it.
After a short while, Zhishen said: "The issue of clarifying the land area has been settled, and the issue of Yuan Rong being trapped on the west bank of Shaoshui is difficult to extricate itself."
This Zhiyao still knows.
Seeing that the Fan family had been destroyed, many nobles headed by Wei Chi began to investigate the matter of the last ambush on the west bank of Shaoshui, and kept asking Zhao Yang to give an explanation.
I don’t know if Zhao Yang has a tough personality and feels that the more others push him, the less he wants to deal with it, or maybe there are many coincidences in the defeat, but Zhao Yang just didn’t give any explanation.
Therefore, Zhao Yang’s suggestion to clarify the land acres was delayed.
It was purely because the nobles did not want to be interfered with family affairs, so they took advantage of the defeat on the west bank of Shaoshui to force Zhao Yang.
It can also be seen from this that Zhao Yang's prestige has suffered a heavy blow.
There is a saying that "the three things a new official should do when he takes office". Zhao Yang didn't light up the first thing. What he wants to do next is probably not easy either. There has never been such a precedent for the "Yuanrong" in the Jin Dynasty.
If Zhiyao's prediction is correct, Zhao Yang will only make new moves after the news from Wu State is delivered.
Sure enough, I heard Zhishen say: "'Yuanrong' has been calling various 'qing' frequently recently to confirm that Wu State is sending troops to the north."
Zhiyao knew there was more to come.
Zhishen paused for a moment before continuing: "Having a glimpse of the Wu Kingdom going north to attack Chen, does Yao think it is credible?"
How to say?
Wu will definitely challenge Jin, there is no doubt about this.
Is it just right? Zhiyao believes that the Wu Kingdom will first beat up several powerful countries in the Central Plains to frighten those princes who may send troops to get along with the Jin Kingdom, and then finally challenge the Jin Kingdom.
So, Wu State had already beaten Qi State last year, and Lu State, Song State, and Zheng State had not beaten them. They even needed to contact Qin State. It is unlikely to directly provoke Jin State in the short term.
"I can think of it there, it makes no sense that a few 'Qing's can't think of it, right?" Zhiyao thought to herself.
It's hard to say for other people. Anyway, Jishen didn't use that brain.
Zhiyao explained the current situation to Zhishen, mainly mentioning that Zhao Yang wanted to shape the Wu State into a formidable enemy after the Chu State, in order to strengthen the authority of the "Yuan Rong".
"I have Yao in my family, so I have no worries." Zhishen was really happy.
You don’t need to use your brains. Even if you use your brains, you may not be able to come up with the correct answer. Having a son who can make decisions about big and small things, it’s really a blessing to be the head of the family!
Zhiyao boasted: "My family is very happy to have you, Sir!"
The father and son looked at each other and laughed heartily together.
Zhiyao didn't ask why she didn't get the relevant reward.
What kind of reward? Zhiyao has continuously made meritorious service to the country. He defeated the coalition forces of the princes twice before, then led his army into "Linzi" and looted Qi's ritual objects. Later, he sent troops to help Zhao Yang deal with the new wave of coalition forces, and even went further.
Weakened Zheng Guo.
Not only Zhiyao didn't get the reward, but the other people who fought didn't either.
The reason he didn't ask was that even though it was the late Spring and Autumn Period, it was actually still the Spring and Autumn Period.
In this era, if you don't hold an official position, you are not within the scope of national rewards. You don't need to pay taxes on any spoils you get.
From a professional perspective, Zhiyao led his troops to attack several times, which are called "private family wars" or "voluntary wars", which are a type of "volunteer army". It is normal to not receive rewards.
Zhiyao reported to Zhishen the development progress of "Handan" and then went out.
"How late is it for Yao?" Wei Ju's face was already red from drinking.
They had agreed to meet up with each other before.
Zhiyao came over and took a look, and was surprised to see Zhao Bolu's figure.
"When will Bolu come to 'du'?" The surprise on Zhiyao's face was very real.
Logically speaking, shouldn't Zhao Bolu, who lost his throne as heir apparent, be put in cold storage? It's hard not to think too much about Zhao Bolu appearing again, especially in "Xintian".
For example, Zhao Yang was very disappointed with Zhao Wuxie and might make Zhao Bolu the crown prince again.
"I have something to do at home, so I came here." This is not the first time Zhao Bolu has been asked this question, and his answers are also repetitive.
Zhiyao thinks Zhao Yang shouldn’t be such a childish person?
Zhao Yang just removed Zhao Bolu's crown prince position not long ago, replaced him with Zhao Guanshi and changed it again soon? If such a thing really happened, the Zhao family would become a joke.
There is another possibility, and it is not ruled out that Zhao Yang would do that. Anyway, Zhao has been laughed at not once or twice, right?
Family matters? After hearing what Zhao Bolu said, others could no longer continue to ask questions.
This group of second-generation people can gather together if possible, and the elders are very happy to do so.
During the party, unless there is intentional disclosure, they will not mention their own affairs at all. Most of the time, they will just chat and slap without any purpose.
Han Geng was mentioning the reaction of the Zhou royal family.
Didn't Zhao Yang invite Emperor Zhou to a military parade last time? Emperor Zhou didn't give any response at all, but secretly sent his ministers to the Han family to ask whether Jin would continue to carry the banner.
This is why the Han family deliberately asked Han Geng to mention it at the gathering to test the reactions of each family.
Zhiyao was originally thinking about Zhao Yang's purpose in letting Zhao Bolu reappear. When someone mentioned that Chu State vowed to protect Chen State, her attention turned.
The speaker was Wei Ju, and according to his description, the source of the information was the State of Song.
Nowadays, many things in the Jin State have changed, but some are still followed. For example, the Han family is responsible for the diplomatic relations with the Zhou royal family, and the Wei family is responsible for the development of diplomatic relations with the Song Dynasty.
"In your opinion, I should also send troops to go south." Hu You was talking about the Kingdom of Jin.
It seems that Fox's internal reforms have been somewhat effective? Otherwise, they wouldn't be so eager to perform.
Zhi Yao was relatively depressed, Hu You just kept talking, his eyes always fixed on what he was looking at.
What was puzzling was that the others also looked at Zhiyao, looking like they were waiting.
The main reason why he was depressed was that Zhiyao knew very well why this happened, so he said, "How can we go to war when we have a chance to breathe?"
The civil strife in the Jin Kingdom had just stopped, and there were too many families who had received new fiefdoms, and they needed time to digest them. The families that had not obtained fiefdoms also wanted to take a breather, and they would definitely not want to send troops.
After Zhiyao finished speaking, she found that instead of reducing their expectations, they were expecting more and more. Then she thought: "This has been a fruitful experience several times. Are they expecting me to lead them to gain more?"
The Jin State will definitely not interfere with the Wu State's attack on the Chen State. A victory will be beneficial in the long run. If you gain material benefits, you will have to pay 40%, which means there is a high chance of losing money.
If each family sends out private soldiers to mix things up, and any harvest can be put into their own pockets, the nature is different.
Zhiyao really didn't want to move and was about to speak up to avoid everyone's expectations. Taihu came over and said, Zilu, Zigong, Ran You, Zaiyu and others are eager to see her.
This is when they learned that Confucius and his brothers were trapped in Chen State and wanted to ask for help???
