I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 24 Hope in Despair
"I have Lao Tzu, what do I need Confucius for?" Zhiyao thought at that moment.

Of course, if Confucius is willing to come to Zhishi, it is actually a good thing. What needs to be guarded is not to make him emphasize such a thing as "etiquette" again and again.

The situation in the world has changed. If you switch to the "big fight" mode, pursuing the rituals of Zhou is to restrain yourself, which is equivalent to tying your hands and fighting with other people, and you will definitely be beaten up.

Confucius emphasized "rituals" in the state of Lu in order to suppress Sanhuan, and he could use "rituals" as a weapon in the state of Song. If he went to other countries, the role of "rituals" is almost a burden.

In fact, that is the case. Everyone seeks progress, so how could he be willing to listen to Confucius' words and pursue the ancient times.That is no longer standing still, it is going backwards!

Zhiyao said: "I sent my family doctor to invite him, Master Kong is willing to come, good!"

The matter of sheltering Confucius is quite hard to say in terms of advantages and disadvantages.

The benefit is that Confucius has sufficient knowledge and is also a very good teacher.

The disadvantage lies in the pursuit of retro, and an inadvertent one is very likely to be cursed by "disciples and grandchildren" for more than 2000 years.

Zigong was overjoyed and thought, "It would be great if Gongsun would invite you personally."

just right?Zigong also knew that he was thinking too much, not to mention that Confucius was expelled by the king of Lu as a loser, and it is impossible for Zhiyao to go to Wei because of the major events happening in Jin.

Even if it was just for Zigong to see, Zhiyao would definitely show his respect for Confucius, sending a husband, one of his close retainers.

"In the future, it will be inconvenient for me to live in 'Father Huang' for a long time, and it will be difficult for me to follow Master Kong personally. I wonder if Master Kong would like to go to 'Xintian'." Zhiyao asked.

For Zhiyao, it is impossible for him to formally worship Confucius as his teacher.

I am destined to be a person who wants to start a sect, at most I will learn from Confucius and ask Laozi, there are academic exchanges, and there is no status of master and apprentice.

Zi Gong didn't want to violate his conscience, so he said awkwardly and ashamedly: "My teacher... I'm afraid I don't want to go to 'Xintian'."

In fact, it is similar to Lao Tzu's thinking, that is, people in the world now think that the Jin people are too barbaric, not the kind of ignorant barbarism, referring to the fact that they attach too much importance to force and wantonly bully other countries by virtue of their country's strength.

Zhiyao shook her head, she didn't need to speak out what was on her mind.

Academics have their own obsession with cleanliness, and generally reject force, especially the kind of tyrannical force that is beyond their control.Instead of holding powerful force in your own hands, you should enjoy the joy of preaching with a book and a sharp sword in one hand.

Zigong reported some other things, and seeing that Zhiyao had no other orders, he left.

Now, with the monarch changing his tune again, the bad reviews of the Zhao family have not been reversed, but the Zhao family's army has already surrounded "Handan".

Fan and Zhongxing, allies of Handan Zhao, suddenly realized that they were defined as rebels. After cursing at the monarch for a while, they once again issued a call-up order to each fief.

Because a big war is destined to break out, and then the monarch's series of coquettish operations caused the situation to change again and again, causing the entire Jin country to be in chaos.

"The lord refuses to accept the emperor's order, and the right to receive gifts in the country belongs to the assistant of the Chinese army!" Zhi Xuwu really felt that Zhi Zhi had made a bad move.

He came to "Father Huang" because he had something to do, and he definitely wanted to see Zhiyao.

To be honest, Zhiyao also felt that Zhibi's move was really wrong.

The dignified Zhengqing actually gave up the authority to call and command the army. Can he take back the authority that belongs to the "Marshal" in the future?
Once the authority of "Marshal" fell into the hands of Zhao Yang, it meant that the rights of Zhixuan, the "Yuanrong", would be incomplete.

Since the establishment of the system of the three armies and six ministers, there has not been an example of any "Yuan Rong" lacking authority in Jin.

If Zhixuan really can't get back the power of "Marshal", not only will he become a joke in the history books, but Zhishi will also become the laughing stock of all nobles.

Zhiyao was unable to make any comments, so she changed the subject and asked, "Still facing off, not fighting?"

This Zhi Xuwu can be regarded as a more powerful member of the Zhi clan at present. He stayed in "Xintian" to carry out some orders of Zhixuan, but now he seems to have become a role of delivering messages.

It has been almost two months since several high-ranking families have maintained a tense situation. After the Zhao family formally attacked the "Handan" city, the Fan family and the Zhonghang family were still standing still and did not move. The security of the fiefdom was threatened by the Wei and Han families. Naturally, he didn't dare to move lightly.

"When I came, the Zhongjun Zuo was already in 'Handan', the Shangjun Zuo (Han Buxin) was in 'Gao', and the lower army general (Wei Lu) was in 'Lu'." Zhi Xuwu said.

That is, they have already set up their battles, and they may officially engage in battle at any time.

Zhiyao asked again: "Does the Lord have any instructions?"

Speaking of this, Zhi Xuwu felt a deep sense of powerlessness, and shook his head dejectedly and said, "The Lord has not made a decision."

Of course Zhiyao can see Zhixuwu's disappointment with Zhibi, but she still can't verbally express Zhixuan's actions.

There was silence for a while.

"Zhao's first misfortune, he must suffer; the master resigned from the emperor's order, in order to avoid the fallacies of all the families, it must not be taken lightly." Zhiyao helped Zhixuan come up with a reason.

Of course Zhixuwu knew that truth, but he was still disappointed. Thinking of Zhishen's poor character and ability, he felt further despair, and looked at Zhiyao in front of him, which gave him a glimmer of hope.

How can the big family show weakness?Once it is defined as weak, everyone outside will want to bully it, and it will be difficult to generate cohesion inside.

Another point is that once it is defined as weak in Jin, how long a family can live is a question.When something goes wrong, there will be no one to help, and it will be great not to be thrown into trouble.

Zhixuwu looked at Zhiyao hopefully, and said, "Yao, my family's rise and fall..." Halfway through the conversation, I thought about it and still didn't continue.

Now the head of the old Zhi family is Zhibi, and there is another Zhishen after Zhibi. Not surprisingly, it will be three or forty years before Zhiyao takes power one day.

However, without spoiler spoilers, Ji Shin didn't live long...

Zhi Xuwu stayed at "Father Huang" for half a month, and chatted with Zhiyao when he was free. At the same time, he also witnessed Zhiyao's achievements in three or four years. It will be Zhiyao, but I feel extremely sad in my heart.

Ji Seo-oh is 40 years old this year, and I really don't know if we can see the day when Ji's prosperity will flourish again.

"Yao invited Danzi to come to my house, it's a great benefit!" Zhi Xuwu was so excited that he saw a lot of books.

If those ancient books had not been written silently by Lao Tzu, many of them would have been isolated copies by the royal family of Chu, and most of them would have been destroyed in the flames of war.

"If the "Jing" can be restored to its integrity in my family, all generations in the world will benefit from my family!" The "Jing" that Zhi Xuwu said is the "Book of Songs".

Because of the turmoil in the Zhou royal family, only the State of Lu has a relatively complete "Book of Songs".However, the "Book of Songs" in the State of Lu will suffer disaster when Confucius returns to become a "librarian", making it difficult for future generations to see the complete "Book of Songs" again.

Zhi Yao pondered: "Kong Qiu has agreed to come to the Zhi family as a guest, and then the "Book of Songs" written by Li Ermo cannot be harmed."
