Chapter 005: Zi Lu


Xi Bin always had a dream-like feeling along the way, he often couldn't help but lie down at the window and look to the side, and only after looking at it for a long time did he believe that the one sitting in the ox cart next to him was the Holy Master, who had been worshiped by Confucius for more than a thousand years. remembered that when he first met him, he wanted to recruit this old master to be his junior brother, Xi Bin was really embarrassed.

However, the two sides walked together for a few days, and after they gradually became familiar with each other, the divine aura that shrouded Kongqiu's head gradually disappeared.

Only then did Xi Bin realize that Kong Qiu at this time was not a saint among saints, a perfect man among perfect people, he was just like many cloth men in the Spring and Autumn Period, a taxi who traveled to various countries for his own ideals and political ideas.

Unlike the Confucians of later generations, the Confucians of later generations learned literary and martial arts and sold them to the emperor's family to serve the maintenance of the existing system.

Today, however, they are actively exploring and creating new systems and actively participating in the process of changing the world.

These explorers of human civilization are worthy of respect.

Along the way, Xi Bin deliberately had a discussion with Confucius, and he found that Confucius's political ideas did not have anything like gods and gods, and they were actually very easy to understand.

The so-called etiquette and music education advocated by Confucius and the rule of the country by the royal way are, to put it bluntly, the rule of virtue.

The root of his ideal political system lies in the word "morality."

The way he advocated establishing order in troubled times was to restore the Zhou system and restore the ancient rites.

Xi Bin is from the 21st century, and his insights include the development of the political system that China has explored and attempted over the past 2,000 years, and he certainly knows that such an idealized system is impossible to achieve, at least not until the 21st century.

The successful political thought of the 21st century is the idea of the legal system, while the political thought of Confucius is the idea of the rule of man, and the basic condition for its realization is that the monarch and those who hold power at all levels must first become models of morality, and these sages and gentlemen will govern the world, and then the country ruled by man will become a humane society.

Xi Bin was very disappointed, he didn't know if Confucius's ideals would be realized in another 5,000 years, at least in the next 2,000 years, it was impossible, even in those dynasties that worshiped Confucius as the most holy teacher, in fact, they were selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and none of them ruled the country with Confucianism.

In the current world of great controversy, his political ideas are not only not applicable to those princes, but also not to his future, so at first he still had some ideas of solicitation, but gradually faded.

His mind was all seen by Confucius's student Zhong You.

Zhong You, the word Zi Lu, is the man whose swordsmanship and martial arts are especially above Confucius when he was robbed in the forest.

This person has a bold temperament, and he and Xi Bin are very angry, so they simply squeezed into his car on the road, drove him, and chatted to relieve his boredom.

Looking at the ox cart walking in front, Zilu looked back and smiled: "Qingji Gongzi, do you want to recruit Master Confucius to your curtain?"

Xi Bin's body has improved a lot, he sat in the car and said with a smile: "Well, I did have this thought. ” Zilu laughed, shook his head and said, "Don't bother, the way of Confucius is the way of keeping it, and it is not suitable for you."

Now that you have a national disaster, Confucius can't stretch out and repay you here. ” Xi Bin smiled bitterly, Confucius couldn't just stretch and obey him here, Confucius would not repay the burden to anyone in his lifetime, he may be more suitable to be a great educator and a moral education teacher.

When it comes to governing the country in troubled times, Confucius's 3,000 disciples and 72 sages, in fact, have never produced an outstanding military strategist or politician, and most of them are just noble morals.

On the other hand, Guiguzi Wang Xu, the originator of the vertical and horizontal arts, only had 500 disciples, but he taught the four heavenly kings.

The Seven Heroes of the Warring States, his disciple Su Qin concurrently served as the prime minister of the Six Kingdoms, and the remaining Great Qin Empire was his other disciple Zhang Yi as the prime minister.

And Sun Bin and Pang Juan also became famous generals at that time.

Confucius pays attention to the amount of talent to teach, Guiguzi is also the amount of talent to teach, Guiguzi alone cultivated four earth-shattering geniuses, Confucius cultivated some moral pacesetters, it is not wrong to be a moral education teacher, but in governing the country, he regards moral education and human governance as far more important than the legal system, which is a bit unrealistic.

If it weren't for the Han Dynasty's exaltation of Confucius as the supreme, it would be difficult to say that if a hundred schools of thought were allowed to fight freely, whose ideology and scholarship would be more brilliant "What is Childe thinking" Zilu saw that he was silent in thought, thinking that he was still unwilling to recruit Master Confucius, so he asked.

"Oh, nothing."

Xi Bin smiled, diverted the topic and asked, "Zilu, I see that you are not much younger than Master Confucius, how did you become a student of Master Confucius?"

Zilu laughed and said, "Yes, my age is only nine years younger than Master Confucius.

When he was young, he was brave and fierce.

Once, Lu met Confucius, got into a quarrel with Confucius, and moved his fists and feet.

Master Confucius was born with divine powers, but his technique was far inferior to mine, and he was severely beaten by me."

Xi Bin opened his mouth when he heard this, but Zilu said happily: "This time I got acquainted with Confucius, and after associating with him, I gradually found that Confucius was very knowledgeable, far beyond Zilu's reach, so I worshiped under Confucius."

After listening to him, Xi Bin rubbed his sour cheeks and asked, "You just said that Master Kong was originally an official in the Lu State, why is he so depressed now, where did this come from?"

Zilu said: "Prince Qingji, you also know that the power of our Lu State is now in the hands of the three major families of Ji Sun, Uncle Sun, and Meng Sun.

The year before last, the monarch failed in his crusade against the three major families and was forced to flee to the Qi country.

Since then, the country of Lu has no monarch, and the most powerful Ji Sun Yiru is in charge of the monarch.

After Ji Sun Yiru returned from marrying the daughter of the monarch of the Song Kingdom, he feasted guests, and actually violated the etiquette system to watch the dance of the Eight Beauty, Confucius was furious, reprimanded Ji Sun in person, and resigned angrily and went to Qi State. ” Based on Qingji's memory, Xi Bin knew about Ji Sun's marriage to Song Ji.

Speaking of which, this princess of the Song Kingdom is still the niece and nephew of Ji Sun Yiru, but this was not unorthodox at the time.

King Chu Cheng also married the two daughters of his sister Duchess Zheng Wen, just like Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty married his niece, and the customs at that time did not think this was strange.

The so-called Eight Pretty Dance refers to a large-scale dance of an individual.

When dancing, eight maiko are called one bai, and eight bai, which is sixty-four people.

According to the Zhou rites, only the Son of Heaven can watch the dance of the Eight Hundreds, the princes are six Hundred, the Ministers are four Hundreds, and Ji Sun Yi is the level of the Qing, so only 32 people should enjoy the dance.

Xi Bin couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, and he could only understand how much Old Master Confucius valued etiquette at this time.

He didn't protest when Lu Guojun was chased away by a courtier like Ji Sun Yiru, but now Ji Sun Ruyi just opened a large arty at home, which is a bit out of specification, so he is furious, no matter how you look at it, it means putting the cart before the horse.

Zilu said: "When Master Confucius arrived in the State of Qi, he was very courteous to the Emperor of Qi at first, but the Minister of the State of Qi was jealous of the virtuous and could repeatedly slander the Emperor of Qi, and Master Confucius was not allowed to be reused after all.

Qi Xiangyan Ying even spoke to Qi Jun, saying that Confucius can be good at arguing, only pay attention to etiquette, do not produce, do not pay attention to practice, the etiquette is the kind of ritual law that can make the living bankrupt in order to make the funeral grand, and the country and the people have no benefit, it is not enough to take the law at all, Qi Jun listened, and even more alienated Confucius, it was Confucius who left Lu and went to Song, but unfortunately it was not reused in Song and had no choice but to return to Lu. ” Xi Bin blurted out and asked, "So, Zilu thinks that Qi Xiangyanying's words make sense?"

Zilu pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "What Yan Ying has peeped is just a glimpse.

But I think that Confucius does have a stubbornness. ” Xi Bin couldn't help but be in awe when he heard this, whether it was Confucius or Zilu, their masters and apprentices were all scholars who tirelessly sought the truth of the world.

Whether history proves that their views are correct or wrong, at least they are sincere and pragmatic research.

They themselves are constantly understanding, revising, and improving their ideas and opinions, and they are neither rigid nor self-respecting, nor worship authority, and they are by no means like the sour Confucians of later generations, when someone says that the Holy Master is not, it is like stepping on his tail and making trouble with you.

Zilu sighed: "Master Confucius talked about the monarch and the minister, the father and the son, I don't think it's wrong.

If everyone in the world can follow this ritual, I don't know how much war and strife will be reduced.

In the case of Gongzi, if the monarchs and ministers of Wu can abide by this courtesy, how can Gongziguang usurp the throne?"

Xi Bin was silent for a moment and said: "People's hearts, greedy people's hearts have greed, they will not abide by the etiquette of kings, ministers, fathers and sons, and if they want to be peaceful and prosperous for a thousand years, it will never be possible."

However, if the majority of people can accept Confucius's idea, at least many disputes can be reduced, and wars and rebellions can be greatly reduced. ” Confucius peddled his political ideas to the princes, but was always dismissed.

The monarchs of various countries treated him with respect for his personality and profound knowledge, and as a student of Confucius, Zilu also felt very sad.

Unexpectedly, this Qingji prince praised his proposition, Zilu listened to the feeling of a confidant, and said excitedly: "In fact, Master Confucius is not a person who is rigid and inflexible, if Master Confucius is such a person, then he will not go to see Qi Jun."

According to the father and son of the monarch, Confucius should go to the emperor of Zhou.

Confucius's system of recovering the Zhou Dynasty and following the Zhou rites did not necessarily have to obey the Emperor of Zhou, but he hoped to find a monarch who would implement this proposition and implement it by him, so as to achieve great rule in the world and peace for all generations. ” Xi Bin did not continue to agree, he has a limited understanding of Confucianism, and he is not interested in studying this science, for him at this moment, the only royal road is to get out of the gun, and he cares about the growth of strength.

Taking advantage of the excitement of the conversation, Xi Bin asked solemnly: "Zilu is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and this son appreciates it very much."

I don't know if Zilu is willing to come under my command and create a great cause with me."
