"Uh, Master Hui, this younger brother of yours calls himself Yang Bin."
"Well, how can I be like this", Yang Hu paused, suddenly frightened, and hurriedly asked: "Where is he, quickly invite him in."
"Yes, yes", Menzi hurriedly retreated.
Yang Hu glanced at the two house slaves kneeling on the ground, and snorted coldly: "It's none of your business, get out of here for me and take this damn duck away."
The two hurriedly picked up the basket and the duck, and retreated to the door in a panic.
Qingji entered the hall, just passed by them, saw the things in their hands, and couldn't help but take a curious look at them, and then walked into the hall.
Seeing that there were no attendants in the hall, he bowed his hand to Yang Hu and said, "Brother Tiger, it's been a long time." ” Yang Hu wiped away the anger on his face, stepped forward and said, "Prince Qingji, why did you come back to Qufu?"
Yang Huyuan and Qingji joined forces to help the Ji clan suppress the two families of Uncle Sun and Meng Sun, so as to take over the power of the Lu State.
After the unification of the Lu State decree, as the first powerful minister under the Ji family, he had the opportunity to launch foreign wars and be knighted by virtue of his military exploits, so as to get rid of the status of a domestic slave.
Unexpectedly, the uncle and the Meng Sun family used the plan of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle, and secretly invited Lu Jun to return to China, although in the end Lu Jun died violently, but in order to avoid suspicion and clear the snow, Ji Sun Yiru had to approve of supporting the new monarch and resigned from the ruling position.
But this matter was a failure, it was the Ji family's indecisiveness that delayed the fighter, and Qingji had nothing to do with it, as the so-called planning is in the people, and the success is in the sky, the Yang Tiger generation of heroes has not been angry or alienated from Qingji, although the two have no stakeholder cooperative relationship now, he is still very kind to this former comrade-in-arms.
Qingji said: "I encountered some urgent things in Philadelphia, and I need to inform Dr.
Sanhuan and Lord Yanghu, so I hurriedly returned to Qufu.
Brother Tiger, who is this fighting with, I just heard what happened to Kong Qiu."
Yang Hu couldn't help but be happy when he heard Qingji mention himself and Sanhuan together, and he became more cordial to him, and hurriedly took his arm inside, and said with a smile: "Don't mention him, Kongqiu's thing that doesn't know what to do, I want him to look good sooner or later, come on, please sit down." ” Qingji wanted to introduce the topic immediately, but when he heard him mention Kong Qiu again, he couldn't help but be a little curious, Kong Qiu was back to Qufu with Zhan Shu, and he wanted to go through the door of Zhan Shu to seek a half-official position, and Zhan Shu and Yang Hu never interacted, it can be said that the well water does not violate the river water, how did this Kong Qiu provoke Yang Hu At that moment, Qingji was not in a hurry to talk about his own affairs, and asked two more casually.
Yang Hu sat down at the same table with him, and said helplessly: "Don't hide it from the son, the tiger and Kong Qiu have known each other since childhood."
When I was young, I had some mustard, but it was all old, and Yang Hu didn't care about it.
Now Yang Hu is doing things in front of Master Ji Sun, and Kong Qiu has studied his knowledge and become a scholar of my Lu country, and he is a learned person, although he and I are famous for each other, we have never had the opportunity to meet again. ” As he spoke, he took a mouthful of clay urn and poured a cup of sour plum soup for Qingji to moisten his throat.
This pottery urn is in the well water, the weather is hot, sitting in the spacious hall is not cool, drinking some cool sour plum soup not only quenches thirst but also dispels heat.
Yang Hu said: "I walked in front of Lord Jisun, and Zhan invited his friend Kong Qiu to return to the capital and ask Lord Jisun for an official position.
Childe, you also know that although Yang Hu came from a humble background, the affairs around the adult are all handled by Yang Hu, and the adult handed over this matter to me.
I thought that Kong Qiu was also a learned man, and as for his identity, although he was now broken, he was also a nobleman, so he obeyed the instructions of the adults and wanted to find him a suitable position. ” "In the past few days, because the court is busy with affairs, it is too late to make specific arrangements.
I think that Kong Qiu and I will work together in the future, and he has always been obsessed with Yanghu for the sake of a little old grudge in the past, but it will not be easy to work together in the future, so he sent him two hot pork legs to show friendship.
At the same time, explain to him that the court is busy, and the arrangements for him will be settled in two days, so as not to make him cranky. ” Speaking of this, Yang Hu was angry again, and said in a few cases: "Hate Kongqiu, humiliate me and humiliate me."
This person is really deceitful, if he doesn't want to be with Yang Hu, he can refuse to accept this gift.
But he accepted my gift, but refused to see me, sneaky, and came to the door to return the gift when I was not at home, and the villain's behavior was really angry. ” Qingji listened to him and understood what was going on.
The joints of this, if it is changed to modern people to listen, it must be not very understandable, you give gifts to people, why do you have to ask someone to return the gift and also have to meet you in person, otherwise it will become a big disrespect Now this Qingji inherits all the memory and knowledge of the original Qingji, but can understand the meaning of Yang Hu.
At that time, the emphasis was on the exchange of courtesy, and if there was a gift, there must be a return gift, which was not a loss of etiquette.
Of course, this does not include when bribes are given.
If the elder or a person of high status gives a gift to the younger or someone of inferior status, then the person who receives the gift must personally carry the gift to the other party's house to return the gift.
But Yang Hu is now powerful, there is no need to show favor to Kong Qiu, a declining nobleman, Kong Qiu's perception of him, it can't affect him at all, he is doing this to celebrate what kind of jealousy After thinking about it, he understood Yang Hu's intentions, Yang Hu gave gifts, it turned out to be a stone to ask for directions Maybe it was the last time the doctors used the conspiracy of Jianji Temple to frame this Yang Hu who didn't know much about etiquette, and almost made him framed by others, which stimulated him, he wanted to find a learned person who understood etiquette to be his staff.
The study of etiquette is complicated, and this knowledge has always been in the hands of nobles, it is impossible for commoners to learn such complex knowledge, but who is willing to stoop to him under the door of a house slave, only a person like Kong Qiu who has fallen into decline is possible.
Yang Hu gave Kong Qiu a gift, which was to test Kong Qiu's attitude.
If Kong Qiu accepted the gift and returned the gift in person, it would show his attitude and promise to serve Yang Hu.
If you refuse to accept gifts, others will only say that Kong Qiu does not know the current affairs, and Yang Hu will not be too ugly on his face.
This kind of implicit knowledge, which makes people unable to grasp the handle, is a common method in officialdom.
It's just that Kong Qiu's reaction to his overtures was too ambiguous, or don't accept it, since he accepted the gift, but he chose Yang Hu to return the gift when he was not at home, and returned a wild duck, no wonder Yang Hu was furious.
You must know that at that time, not only was the etiquette exquisite, but also what to send, the apprentice had to send the gizzard meat, the marriage had to send the wild goose, and the wild duck was sent back and forth, which was a little disrespectful to the other party.
Qingji couldn't help but shake his head slightly when he heard what happened: "Confucius has knowledge, but it's a pity that this is a man, you can't expect everyone who interacts with you to be such a square gentleman, and the method used is not appropriate at that time, how can you not offend people."
In fact, Qingji also twisted Kong Qiu's thoughts, Kong Qiu did not take the opportunity to tease Yang Hu, Kong Qiu saw that Yang Hu, the first powerful minister of the Lu State, came to give a gift, in fact, he was a little flattered, and happily accepted the gift.
Yang Hu took the initiative to show favor like this, and Kong Qiu didn't care about the little grudge he had been ridiculed by him in the past.
It's just that after accepting this gift, as soon as his excitement calmed down, Kong Qiu understood the deep meaning of Yang Hu's gift.
Kong Qiu pondered it repeatedly, weighed the pros and cons, and gradually regretted it.
After many twists and turns, as long as he can achieve the goal of exercising his political ideas, whether the other party is Ji Sun Yiru, a powerful minister who has no father, or an arrogant power annihilation like Yang Hu, he doesn't mind.
What he wants is the purpose, and as for the means, he doesn't want to pick and choose.

However, even if Yang Hu is willing to reuse him, he is just a staff member who advises him, will he support his political proposition of recovering the Zhou rites and practicing benevolent government Moreover, the political forces that have always admired and supported him are those family nobles who have inherited and inherited the lord, and their interests are in conflict with the emerging forces of Yang Hu.
Thinking about it like this, Kong Qiu didn't want to accept Yang Hu's gift, but he returned the gift at this time, and he couldn't help but offend Yang Hu, and Yang Hu would inevitably obstruct him in the matter of becoming an official, so he racked his brains and thought of this remedy, he thought that this would be seamless, not only would not anger Yang Hu, but also make up for the fault of receiving gifts, and would not owe Yang Hu from now on.
How do you know that although Yang Hu doesn't read much, he is not lacking in wit, he can think of such a way as a square gentleman, Yang Hu, a person who struggles out of deceit, especially has an understanding of people's hearts and surnames, how can he not see it.
Qingji saw that Yang Hu hated deeply, and couldn't help frowning, Kong Qiu was his friend, and because of Kong Qiu's position in history, Qing Ji had always been a little in awe of him from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't want this Kong Qiu to be criticized and suppressed.
And right now, the one who helped him the most was Yang Hu, the first minister of the Lu country, and he couldn't be offended.
After thinking about it again and again, Qingji could only persuade him with kind words: "Brother Tiger is a person who does great things, why bother with a scholar so much."
Confucius is like a gentleman of bamboo, high and honest.
He did this, presumably because Lord Yanghu is now in power and hot, and he is the first person under Sanhuan, Kong Qiu is worried that he will be slandered by others for clinging to the powerful, so he has to make this decision. ” Qingji's words were held on both sides, and he was given a step down to Yang Hu, but Yang Hu didn't appreciate it, he sneered, and said contemptuously: "Hehe, Yang Hu knows that Gongzi and Kong Qiu have some friendships, let's make our own friends, and Gongzi doesn't have to cover up for him."
What kind of bamboo gentleman, high and honest, in my Yanghu's opinion, he Kongqiu is a rat who sells his reputation and deceives the world.
He is not good for fame and profit, if this is the case, he will not give birth to a son, the monarch gave a carp as a gift, so he complacently named his son Kong Li, not that the monarch recognized his aristocratic status Why didn't the monarch give him a donkey in the first place" To be continued:
