As long as the hoe is wielded diligently, is there any corner that will not be broken down?
Of course, people are not in the corner. Some people can't stand the temptation, and some people are rich and powerful and can't surrender.
Practically speaking, given Confucius's current situation and the fact that it was difficult for a large group of disciples to find a way out, a nobleman willing to take him in would be considered a chance.
Who is Zhiyao? His grandfather was the chief minister of the Jin State, and his father will at least be the junior military assistant of the Jin State in the future. Not surprisingly, he himself will also become one of the "secrets" of the Jin State.
Although the Jin State lost its hegemony, there is no doubt that the Jin State is still a big country, and it has a high possibility of regaining its hegemony, which is far beyond the comparison of the Lu State, which weakened early.
Eliminating the belief that success in the mother country is the only way to achieve real success, no matter whether it is Confucius or any of his disciples, if they can make a difference in the Jin State, is it not better than staying in the decadent and conservative Lu State?
Can Zigong's acceptance of Zhiyao's invitation to become a family official of the Zhi family be said to be a betrayal of Confucius? That's definitely not possible!
Let’s put it this way! Zigong was able to enter the Zhi family and gain a lot of trust and authority. If the news reaches the Lu State, I believe many people will be proud. Lu Jun Song, as well as the Meng Sun family and the Shu Sun family
, Ji and Sun all need to think about whether they will need help from Zigong one day.
It is completely conceivable that the Lu State, which is destined to enter a state of war with the Qi State, is already rigorously discussing how to deal with Zigong, so that they can get along better with the Zhi family, so as to get help from the Jin State to compete with the Qi State.
.
Confucius didn't like Jin, right? Why did he come to Jin after being invited by Zhiyao? It was just that Jin was still powerful and had enough strength to scare Sanhuan.
Look, look, you drove me away, but the Zhi family of the Jin Dynasty's high-ranking family entertained me warmly, which shows that I have enough talents and virtues.
That is to say, Zhiyao did not directly offer her official position to seduce Confucius, otherwise... maybe Confucius, who wanted to show off his talents, would agree after some pretentiousness.
Zhiyao would not invite Confucius to be an official in the Jin State. The main reason is that the style of the Jin State is too incompatible with Confucius. If Confucius is forced to change his style and join the Jin State, will there be Confucianism in the future? Confucianism will not be "original"
"That one.
Of course, when Confucius accepted Zhiyao's invitation to go to Jin, it actually changed the old historical trajectory, and we don't know what subsequent impact it will have.
One day, Zhiyao was inspecting the kiln factory, and Zaiyu came to see him halfway.
This Jaeyu has another name called Zi me. His eloquence is very good. Well...
It was precisely because of Jaeyu's eloquence that Confucius would always send Jaeyu to deal with anything, and would scold him every time he found fault.
"Master Kong wants to travel around the Jin Kingdom?" Zhiyao was a little unable to understand Confucius's brain circuit.
Now that the Jin Kingdom is still in the stage of civil war, it is not a good time to wander around.
Confucius had three thousand disciples... No, he had three thousand disciples, and more than 2,400 of them were serving him. Zhishi would definitely send people to protect him, but now is really not a good time to wander around.
!
Not only is Jin not a good time to travel, but also Wei, Song, Zheng, Qi... and other countries. Unless they are countries south of the Yangtze River, one of them will either fall into major chaos or small chaos. In fact,
Not suitable for traveling around.
That's wrong again, the south of the river is not peaceful now. The Chu State was beaten so hard by the Wu State that the surrounding countries saw that the Chu State had become so unbeatable, and each of them also had the idea of bullying the Chu State.
.
One of the countries named "Hu" will put the idea into action immediately, and then... isn't it true that it hasn't taken action yet?
In short, in the current Central Plains and surrounding areas, it is almost difficult for any country to be able to calm down. It is either being beaten or attacking other countries, or else it is having civil strife within itself.
Even the most powerful country in the world today, that is, the Achaemenid Empire, their situation was quite chaotic due to various natural and man-made disasters. (It was the Persian Empire that was finally destroyed by Alexander the Great)
"Please go back and report to Master Kong. Zhishi has no intention of forcing you to stay. It's just that there is no peaceful place now. If you want to collect wind, you can go to my house, his house..." Zhiyao looked embarrassed.
Zaiyu said cheerfully: "My master is well protected by us, so he should be fine."
Please!
You, a socially active group, are strong and strong. You may be able to protect yourself when encountering malicious nobles in other countries. If you want to rely on one or two thousand people to run rampant in Jin, do you believe that each one of them will be dead somewhere?
By the way, in the original history, when Confucius left the state of Lu and traveled around the world, did he travel around the state of Jin? The answer is no!
In the original history, Confucius traveled all over the Central Plains, but he never set foot on the land of Jin. Furthermore, because Jin was blocking the way of Qin, Confucius and his disciples could not fly, so they naturally did not go to Qin.
The reason why Confucius did not come to Jin was because a wise man in Jin died. He was known as Dr. Dou in history and his name was Dou Ji. He was very good at water conservancy projects. The cause of his death is unknown.
Historical records record that Confucius was originally going to the Jin Kingdom, but when he heard the news of Dou Ji's death when he walked to the river, he made a statement that there would be no more sages in the Jin Kingdom after the death of Dou Ji, and then he did not go to the Jin Kingdom.
Zhiyao listened to Zaiyu's repeated emphasis on safety and worry-free, so it was difficult to directly say that their social vitality group really couldn't run rampant in Jin country. They couldn't persuade them, and they were too big-headed.
"Can I ask the Lord for instructions?" Zhiyao had no choice but to ask.
If Zhizong is willing to come forward, the current Zhao family, Wei family and Han family will all give some face, and the other small and medium-sized nobles will not dare to refuse.
The question is, is it cost-effective for Zhiyao to go to Confucius and trouble Zhisong, and may owe favors to the Zhao family, the Wei family and the Han family?
If Confucius understood the meaning of Zhi's doing this, in the long run... that is, in the long run, one or two thousand years later, Zhi's favor to the Zhao, Wei and Han families would be a good deal. For example, those disciples and disciples could work hard to beautify Zhi.
Shi.
What's more terrible is that Confucius, who had his own unique understanding of "propriety", might find it difficult to appreciate it, and even thought that as a guest of the Zhi family, he should receive that kind of courtesy.
Zaiyu understood Zhiyao's concerns, and even more understood why he wanted to ask Zhishuo for instructions, and said, "I'm sorry for bothering you, Gongsun."
Not only is it a trouble, it will be a huge trouble!
Zhiyao even regretted why she invited Confucius to her home as a guest. With more than two thousand people eating and drinking every day, Zhiyao was given such a difficult problem, which would most likely make Zhiyao suffer a loss.
"Forget it, I won't bother my grandfather, otherwise I will compensate the other families in other ways, which will seem too willful. I'll drag Confucius off for a while. If I can't drag him off, I'll just make it clear. If Confucius will be recorded,
Treat me as unlucky." Zhiyao felt that it was better to put her own family first, and not allow her family to give other families an opportunity to take advantage of this civil strife.
