Chapter 38: The Master said that it was difficult, and there was something to do, and the disciples
The size of Lao Zhi's family is not small in itself, but the lack of an outstanding head of the family has resulted in a state of disunity within the family.
Just look at what Xiao Zong and the Fu family do and you will know what the situation of the Zhi family as the main sect is. As long as the head of the family is wise, when will it be Xiao Zong's turn to jump up and down?
The Wei family is known to be good at playing, and it took four generations to successfully replace the Bi family as the main sect. Especially, it left the various small sects of the Bi family speechless. The degree of internal unity is far from what the Zhi family can match in its current state.
"If the Central Military Assistant has softened a little, the situation may change." Fu Guo has been getting close to Zhiyao recently when he has nothing to do, and he often brings Zhiyao some news that he already knows.
Is this because Fuguo noticed changes in the main sect's situation and wanted to make up for his previous mistakes?
Poor Zhixiao, without Fu Guo, the most powerful supporter, may have to live in "Fu" at a young age in the future.
They are no longer in "Xintian" and will soon enter the territory of "Huang Father".
What Fu Guo said was that Zhao Yang was under too much pressure. Not only had he been easing his relationship with Zhi Shu recently, but he also seemed to be listening to Jin's advice.
There are new changes in the Jin State. Zhizhuo, Zhao Yang, Wei Chi and Han Buxin have seen through the true face of the king. Although they still have some fights, they have reached a consensus on how to suppress the king.
The four existing "Qings" reached an agreement, and the king suddenly found himself in a very tragic situation, feeling a bit "unable to leave the palace".
Zhiyao said: "In a situation of great change, there is no definite pattern, so Huan Cun changes."
In a civil war, two high-ranking families were lost, and the strength of the other three existing high-ranking families was damaged. The most tragic thing is that many small and medium-sized nobles were reduced to ashes.
If Duke Yu of Jin could crawl out of his grave, he would be very sad that the achievements he had worked so hard to create were destroyed, that the Duke's family would be completely decadent, that a large number of small and medium-sized nobles would disappear, and that the Jin Kingdom might soon face a "change in the sky".
Zhiyao asked Fuguo, "Is Fu's two 'brigades' enough?"
There were many tigers on the mountaintop of the Jin Kingdom, biting and scaring all over the body. Old Zhijia became the tiger that looked the strongest. The small clan of the Fu family and many small and medium-sized nobles who relied on the Zhi family also started to tremble.
They were lucky enough to not have to follow their masters to a bloody battlefield and were able to preserve their strength in the civil war.
The rest of the families are a bit miserable. Will the family that has preserved its strength find itself stronger?
Fuguo had a lot of objections to Lao Zhi's family going south alone to fight the anti-Jin coalition forces, and said: "How can we call it a national war if my family is alone?"
The layout is too small!
Precisely because the rest of the Qing family could not spare their hands, the Zhi family alone gathered two "armies" to go south to fight. This was an opportunity to restore the reputation of the old Zhi family.
In this wave of civil war, the Zhi family did not side with the Zhonghang family, and already had a bad reputation of forgetting to come from the same sect as the Zhonghang family in order to gain profit.
In fact, the Zhi family and the Zhonghang family came from the same clan. According to the concept of the Spring and Autumn Period, they should share weal and woe. If you don't help the Zhonghang family, you will be criticized, let alone attacking the Zhonghang family on the side of the Zhao family.
Everything has been done, and the Lao Zhi family has benefited greatly from this wave of civil war, so they have to find a way to win over them no matter what!
Zhizong must have understood this, and reluctantly decided to send troops south alone to meet the anti-Jin coalition forces.
Because the situation in the country was unclear at the moment, Zhizhuo really couldn't escape, so he appointed Zhishen as the "general" of the two "armies" of the Zhi family, and at the same time asked Zhiyao to follow him southward.
Some members of the Lao Zhi family who are capable of fighting and retainers will also go south. They are told to follow Zhiyao's command, and Zhishen can just be used as a sign.
Does Zhishen know what situation he will face? He has had a detailed communication with Zhi Yao, and was once again scolded. What is useful, why should Zhi Yao, who is only eleven years old, take on a big responsibility?
Did the scolding from his old father make Jishen want to prove himself? No.
Zhishen is now lying on his back. What he believes is that his abilities are indeed limited, and it is good that his son is so powerful. Later, it proves that his genes are excellent, and his son's greatness equals his own awesomeness.
When you are young, you are old, but after you have a son, you can rely on your son. You are a sure winner in life!
When the army arrived at "Huangfu", the governor of the city came out of the city thirty miles to greet him and reported all the major and minor events that had happened after Zhiyao left.
There are a lot of trivial things, most of which are related to the industry founded by Zhiyao in "Huang Father".
The bigger thing was that Confucius came over and wanted to leave several times, but a group of disciples tried to persuade him before he stayed.
Zhiyao knew why Confucius wanted to leave several times. It was just that the current state of Jin was simply too civilized and ruined. The ministers used all kinds of methods to attack each other.
"Guang, Zheng" is actually very different from the "great governance" pursued by Confucius.
The embarrassing thing is that Confucius knew the dilemma he was facing. Where could he go after leaving Jin? To Wei, who also had a civil war and sent troops to intervene in Jin's civil strife, or to Song, which had gained power before and often wanted to make trouble, and to
Or go to Qi State, which is obviously trying to cause trouble?
Is there anything in the whole world that is not filthy? Only here in the Jin Kingdom there are people who are willing to receive Confucius. Just for the sake of character, it is enough, but too much performance is not good.
Zhiyao had his troops stationed outside "Huangfu" city to rest, while he himself went into the city to meet with Confucius.
As a guest, Confucius did not cause any trouble. He respected etiquette and did as he should.
After a while of chatting, Zhiyao explained his true intention and said: "The country is unfortunately in trouble, and chaos has arisen; the king is unlucky, and the princes have come together to attack; Zhi is lucky enough to fight for the country; I have to meet Shi Kong this time, and I have something to tell you.
Ask for each other."
Was Confucius an old-fashioned person? If he was an old-fashioned man, how could he have the power to wield power and kill his political and academic enemy Shaozhengmao?
"Zhong Yu." Confucius first summoned Zi Lu and then said: "There are many students here. Qiu Le is among them and doesn't hear anything about them."
I will be eating, drinking, and using Lao Zhijia for a long time from now on. I am worried about this, but please allow me to save my last dignity.
Zhiyao saluted Confucius and called Zilu aside to talk.
Confucius must have made an explanation in advance, otherwise Ma Zai, as the most determined Confucius... No, Zi Lu, who respected his teachers very much, would not have agreed with a helpless expression after Zhiyao made the request.
What is this? Zilu served as the family minister of the Jisun family in the state of Lu in order to help Confucius improve the relationship with Sanhuan; later he went to the state of Wei, and in order to make Confucius live more comfortably, he had to curry favor with Kong Kui.
; Now that he has come to the Jin Kingdom, he has to work as a cow and a horse for the Zhi family in order to get good treatment for Confucius!
To have such a highly capable and respectful disciple, I can only say that Confucius was so happy.
Zhiyao met Confucius and was very happy to borrow Zilu. What was a bit confusing was that many disciples of Confucius were also sent over, saying that they could help.
"This is..., anyway, it is not to be tied to the old Zhi family, but more like taking the opportunity to practice. So, Confucius is always thinking about going back to Lu to counterattack?" Zhi Yao thought that was the case.
