Master Kong Zhongni

Chapter 24
Wu State was originally just a loosely organized tribal country, and it lagged far behind the Central Plains countries in terms of technology and civilization.

But when the Communist King of Chu, Zi Fan, a minister of Chu, and the witch minister fought with each other for the beauty Xia Ji.

In the end, Wu Chen got Xia Ji, but he also had to betray Chu State, and his clansmen who stayed in Chu State were also killed by Zifan.

When Wu Chen heard the news of the annihilation of the whole family, he was very sad and indignant, so he wrote to Zifan and said: I will make you exhausted and die!

Afterwards, Wu Chen came to Wu State to help them reform the system, teach them the advanced technology of the Central Plains, and teach them the skills of using chariots.

Since then, the state of Wu was out of control, and soon became the confidant of the state of Chu.

When the current king of Wu, Helu, he boldly used Wu Zixu, a rebel from Chu, as his prime minister, and Sun Wu, a Qi native, as his general, he continued to expand Wu's sphere of influence.

Two years ago, Helu sent troops to attack Chu, and Wu's soldiers marched west from the Huai River to the Han River.

The two armies of Wu and Chu fought five times, and the Wu army won all five battles. The army was invincible.

Yingdu, the capital of Chu State, was breached, and King Chu fled overnight. In order to avenge his father's murder, Wu Zixu dug out the coffin of King Chu Ping, the ancestor of Chu State, and beat his body with a whip to vent his anger.

If Qin State did not send troops to aid Chu State in the end, and Wu State itself happened to have civil strife, then it is still doubtful whether Chu State can continue to exist as a country.

Faced with the threat of such a powerful envoy, how could Yang Hu not be afraid?
He can dictate to the head of the Sanhuan clan, but in the face of the envoy of a great power, he can only return to his true self as a retainer.

"Honorable envoy, this... is too serious, too serious!"

When the atmosphere was delicate, Confucius suddenly spoke.

He saluted and said: "I heard that if a child does something wrong, his father should be punished. If a student does something wrong, his teacher should be punished.

It is my fault that my student offended you.If you want to punish me, I dare not have the slightest complaint. "

Hearing this, the envoy's face softened a little: "Are you Kongqiu Kongzhongni?"

"Exactly."

At this moment, Jae Yu suddenly raised his hand high.

Seeing this, Zi Gong tugged at his sleeve in shock: "My son, you are crazy. Why are you making more trouble at this time!"

When Confucius saw it, he quickly reprimanded him, "Ayu, Aci, the envoy is here, so don't be rude."

Zai Yu looked innocent: "But I have a problem!"

Confucius said helplessly: "But now is not the time to ask questions!"

Zai Yu replied: "But I don't ask questions now, what if the envoy leaves later?"

"Do you have a question for the messenger?"

The envoy from the State of Wu laughed angrily after hearing this: "I came to the State of Lu by the king's order to ask questions. Unexpectedly, I was asked by others first."

Yang Hu clutched his forehead, feeling a headache.

He thought that Zai Yu was a talented person, but he didn't expect him to be so ignorant.

What a mistake!
He reprimanded aloud: "My son! This is not the time for you to mess around! Come, someone, take him down for me."

The entourage was about to go forward to arrest Zaiyu, but the envoy from the state of Wu suddenly stretched out his hand and stopped Yang Hu in front of him.

"Why is Yoko so impatient? It's not too late for me to hear his questions! Young man, what do you want to ask me?"

Zai Yu smiled and said, "Is Yanling Jizi from your country in good health?"

The messenger frowned and said, "Why are you asking this? Are you familiar with Ji Zi?"

Zai Yu said: "Not familiar, I haven't even met Ji Zi before."

The messenger didn't know whether he was angry or thought Jae Yu's words and deeds were funny, so he burst out laughing.

"You haven't met Ji Zi, why do you care so much about him?"

Zaiyu replied: "Although I have never met Ji Zi, I am often influenced by Ji Zi's virtues. When Master is in class, whenever Ji Zi is mentioned, I can't help but praise his virtues. Like dung.

Ji Zi resigned the throne of Wu State three times, and every time he visited a country, he was respected by the local scholars, and the kings of all countries regarded him as a guest of honor.

When Ji Zi visited my country, he was entertained by Duke Xiang, the ancestor of our country, and invited him to listen to the music of the Zhou Dynasty.

When Ji Zi listened to "Zhou Nan" and "Zhao Nan", he could feel the atmosphere of the early rise of enlightenment and the foundation of the kingly way, and thus judged that this was the music when the Zhou Dynasty was just rising.

When Ji Zi listened to "Qi Feng", he could appreciate the depth of virtue and the breadth of the earth, and thus judged that it was a piece of music from the country of Tai Gong.

When Ji Zi listened to "Bin Feng", he could feel the beautiful and magnanimous, happy but restrained emotions, so he judged that it was the music of Duke Zhou's Eastern Expedition.

When Ji Zi listened to "Tang Feng", he could understand the profound worries in the song, and thus judged that the people who wrote this song should be the adherents of the Tao Tang family.

The master often teaches us that learning should draw inferences from one instance, so that it can be called eager to learn.

But Jizi can know everything by smelling it. How extensive his virtues are is really beyond my imagination.

Therefore, although I have never met Ji Zi, I have long been yearning for his virtue! "

After listening to Jai Yu's exposition, the envoy couldn't help admiring: "Amazing! Young man! You can already feel the breadth of Ji Zi's virtues. If you take time, you will definitely be a gentleman who is not inferior to him. !"

The so-called people who raise their hands and don't hit smiling faces, Zaiyu praised Wu's Yanling Jizi so much.

Naturally, the envoy couldn't bear to continue to scold him, but instead praised him.

Even Confucius nodded slightly to Jae Yu, expressing his approval.

As for Yang Hu, his face was already full of joy: "The envoy, what do you think?"

The messenger waved his hand and said, "I was the one who was rude just now. There are villains and gentlemen in every country. Just now I was angry because of villains, but now I am admiring because of gentlemen.

As for the past, let him go.I won't pursue it any further. "

After finishing speaking, the envoy bowed to Confucius again and said: "To be able to teach such outstanding students, you must have more extensive knowledge, right?"

Confucius replied, "It's hard to say that I have extensive knowledge. But as long as it is a question that I can answer, I will know everything and say everything."

The messenger nodded, then waved towards the door.

"Bring things in!"

As soon as the words fell, a group of people walked into the academy carrying a big box as tall as a person.

They put down the box, opened the lid, and a pair of leg bones more than ten feet high immediately appeared in front of everyone.

The students couldn't help exclaiming: "With such long legs, how tall is the person with these legs?"

Jae Yu also leaned in front of him and murmured, "With this leg, it's useless not to go to the national team to play basketball."

The messenger didn't blame the students for their yelling, because when he saw the leg bone for the first time, he was also shocked.

He came to Confucius and asked for advice: "This pair of bones was obtained from their treasury when our country attacked Yue. However, the widowed monarch visited all the sages in the country, but none of them could tell the origin of this pair of leg bones." .

The widow heard that you are a well-known scholar in the world, so I sent me to ask you for advice.May I ask you, whose bone is this? "

　Brothers, all eyes are on me, I have an announcement!I recommended it on the client, this wave of advantages is mine, everyone can rest assured to invest!
