Chapter 447 Confrontation
ps: It's a bit late today, sorry, there's another chapter in half an hour
"I have to say that the doctor does not save disasters and epidemics, but believes in the words of ghosts and witches. He uses living people to sacrifice lustful gods. He has violated the taboo of etiquette and law! Moreover, he tried to obstruct the doctor Bian Que to save people, so he was expelled by the angry Chinese. I just presided over the public discussion at the Haoshe Society. Ten thousand people witnessed the matter that day. The boy had already said it in the letter. Could it be that he was not clear enough? Then repeat it again, "The Book of Documents" says..."
"Let's wait!"
Confucius coughed lightly and stopped Zhao Wuxiu's words: "What Xiao Siko said in his letter is extremely wonderful. Qiu observed it several times, and even recited the full text. ∈♀, is there no descendant of the initiator? What's more, I have asked the Lord to stop the sacrifice of living people in Lu State to clearly state the ritual of "sacrificing people in the State of Lu."
"It is forbidden to use human sacrifices in all Shandong!" Not only Zhao Wuxiu, but everyone present was a little surprised.
Confucius stroked his tendrils and said, "However, I am ashamed to say that this should be the right thing for the Duke of Zhou. But we can only see rabbits and dogs afterwards. I hope it will be too late."
Ji Sunsi's face twitched slightly. Lu State never advocated the use of human sacrifices. Although there were always some doctors in various places who were influenced by the legacy of the barbarians in secret. However, in terms of public sacrifices, it was the trouble of his father Ji Pingzi who was messing around twenty years ago. Confucius wanted to explicitly prohibit this increasingly serious miscellaneous custom. Although many people would complain secretly, no one dared to come forward and say nothing.
After all, the public opinion is raging and no one can bear it.
The problem is that in this way, the king has another "benevolent government": with the help of Confucius, the Duke of Lu has become increasingly strong recently, and has been unable to unify his attitude by taking advantage of the Three Huans. He has regained a lot of power. But now Ji Sunsi doesn't care about being trapped because they have no courage. Only Confucius dares to stand on the court to argue with the Zhao father and son, and fight for rights and interests for the State of Lu. He can only let him do whatever he says.
He was silent about Confucius' decisiveness and forbidden sacrifice. This was another trick to change passiveness to active. He originally wanted to suggest that the Queen of Lu should implement it in the near future and use it to attract the common people in Lu, but Confucius snatched it first. This sage master was sometimes stubborn, sometimes difficult to deal with, and really should not be underestimated.
But Confucius continued to attack and said, "Therefore, this matter is indeed because the doctor Ju did not violate the Zhou rituals first, but he was a Duke of Lu and a Zhongdafu of the same rank as Xiao Siko. He should have reported to the three ministers and the emperor to deal with it. Xiao Siko made his own decision to insult him, which was really a rude thing."
Zhao Wuxiu didn't care about his relationship with Confucius, nor did he care about his past and future. Fortunately, the Confucius disciples among his retainers were not present, so he avoided embarrassment, so he pretended to be ashamed and smiled shyly: "What Master taught me is that the boy was arrogant, and Doctor Xu Ju killed the successor whom I sent to help save the epidemic. He did this matter for a moment..."
Confucius breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wuwei suddenly softened. He was about to continue preaching a little while, but he didn't expect it!
"But I don't regret it!"
Zhao Wuxiu said with gratitude: "Those who killed the envoys of the Sikou have regarded the etiquette and laws of Lu as nothing. Those who regard our Zhao family as nothing. Those who violated the Zhao family must be blamed. He should be expelled. Moreover, after the tyrannical lord left, more than 20,000 people of Xuju were treated by Ling Que. Now the epidemic has stopped spreading and will be cured soon. Doesn't the Master think this is a good thing?"
Zhao Wuxiu repeatedly stated that he is morally correct!
Confucius knew this, but he had to maintain the dignity of order when he stood on the side of the interests of the Lu State!
After a subtle and undetectable sigh, "This is the virtue of a little gentleman, but you still have to consider how to deal with it."
Zhao Wuxiu glanced at Zhao Yang and sighed in his heart. He argued with Confucius head-on. This was not the best way he hoped to solve the problem. But it was Zhao Yang's favorite way. Now he could only say sorry to Confucius. His identity as the son of Zhao also determined his position today!
At this moment, Zhao Yang, who had been impatient, suddenly spoke up, full of threats: "Then let's talk about the aftermath. Although I am a foreigner in Lu, Xu Ju is between Qi and Lu, and his position is important, which is related to the overall situation of Jin and Qi. Then I just said bluntly, Xu Ju Doctor will never return!"
Confucius had just tied with his son, but his father appeared in person, and he couldn't help feeling dry and said, "Why?"
"Who has no relative died of the epidemic? This crime has now fallen on the head of Doctor Xuju. He was able to leave all over while maintaining order by Zhao Bing. If he forced his return, how many people would he have to lead to stop the anger of 20,000 people? At that time, the public anger was like a flood that broke through the dam. Without Zhao Bing, Da Zongbo could guarantee the safety of Doctor Xuju? If the chaos in Xuju may lead to the Qi people's invasion again. Who can bear this responsibility? More importantly..."
Zhao Yang directly took a photo of the case: "Doctor Xu Ju once sold grain to the people of Qi, and ruined my son's strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the country. If he were in Jin State, he would have been killed in the ancestral temple. As a central army officer who defended the enemy, I would never allow this person to reply to Xu Ju!"
Ji Sunsi and Shusun Zhouqiu were so scared that he quickly stood up to apologize and winked at Confucius, asking him not to bother with this matter anymore, and it would be too late to say everything after Zhao Qing left!
Confucius said calmly: "As a great master, Qiu also has the right to manage the crime of improperity of the public clan. He has already asked the emperor to remove the position of a senior official from other towns, so he will naturally not return to the quotation. However, the countries have their own borders, the fields have their own fields, and the fields of the ministers have their own boundaries. What we need to discuss today is when the Zhao army will leave after the epidemic disappears, so that the new doctor will take office."
Zhao Yang frowned: "New Xuju Doctor? My son has been working for the Lu Kingdom for half a year, suppressing the bandits, defeating the Qi army, and saving the epidemic. Such great achievements should not be used as a reward?"
"The military affairs of our border towns are related to the Jin State, so it is not impossible for the Central Army to interfere. However, the appointment of the county officials is the internal affairs of Lu. I hope the Central Army will not say much."
Zhao Yang was furious, but Confucius said neither humble nor arrogantly, and he couldn't find any fault.
Zhao Wuxiu hurriedly stepped forward and whispered to Zhao Yang, let's hear what Confucius would say next.
In this way, it was my turn to play again.
However, Confucius said that he would first give rewards and then say others: "The little Sikou made great contributions, but the rewards and punishments were made by the emperor, not by the ministers. When King Wu attacked Shang and Duke Zhou decided to set up all directions, who did not want to stay in the Western Land? Or go to a fertile land to enjoy the blessing. But when the country was founded, did he obey orders one by one and scattered the world? The same is true today. The king has decided to take the little Sikou from the middle of the official Zhuo as the senior official, and can participate in the government affairs and grant the land of the throne as the governor!"
...
Meiyi?
Meiyi is now a place without a doctor. Meiji belongs to the Marquis of Lu, but the power of the Marquis of Lu never leaves the palace. This is just an empty name. Now Zhao Wuxiu's tentacles have been expanded to the vernal quotation. The closer Meiyi is naturally no problem. As one of the most superior towns in Xilu, Meiji has long secretly entrusted him with allegiance. Do you still need to wait for the Marquis of Lu to be enfeoffed?
But in front of everyone, Wu Xie had to take over the book that Confucius took out at this time, but he thought about it.
It was not that he was greedy for Shu, but that the Meiyi was already in his hands, and the Marquis of Lu just recognized a name. Moreover, the small city of Meiyi was small and fewer than one-third of the people, and the geographical location was not as important as the sentence. Once it was missing, it was impossible to achieve the goal of connecting the northern border of Xilu into a line of defense without any mercy.
The reason why this counterattack against Qi was successful was half because of proper strategy, and half because of pure luck. If Zhao Yang left with his main force, Zhao Wuxiu would not be able to integrate enough combat power in a short period of time. He only needed Chen to bring his clan soldiers to visit. As long as the Qi people were more cautious, Xilu would still be difficult to resist.
A sharp sword was hanging on his head. So Zhao Wuxiu didn't care whether he looked ugly or not!
"So, I dare to ask who is the new Xuju doctor? The Meiyi and Xuju are adjacent. I have to get along well with him in the future."
He sneered in his heart, one doctor was expelled, and two doctors were expelled. If the new doctor could not follow the meaning of Wuwei, he would just drive away! His hair cut was not for being a good person. This incident left a deep impression on Xuju people. Wuwei had already established prestige among them. When the people's hearts were held in their hands, easy incitement could cause storm!
But Confucius once again showed the smile on the portraits of later generations, making you feel that this old man is so interesting and intimate, but you have to be respectful.
"It's the Zhongda Doctor Liu Xiaji!"
...
"After all, I'll lose one game." When Zhao Wuxiu heard the name of Liu Xiaji, he closed his eyes and sighed silently in his heart.
When ordinary doctors and even the public clans come, Zhao Wuxiu is sure to incite the people who have already recognized him as "Xian Sikou" to come again to cause the Chinese people's riots.
But only Liu Xiaji can't do it.
Not to mention that Zhao Wuxiu has a good relationship with this real good man, he is a scholar-official in Shandong who is second only to Confucius in the country. The virtues of his ancestor Liu Xiahui have been passed down to this day. If a citizen from a town meets him, he can only applaud and praise him. Wuxiu can at most encourage those young and evil young men to do some despicable things to drive him away.
But in that case, the means will inevitably be too unbearable, and once it is exposed, it affects the reputation of the people of Lu. Moreover, he has already determined that the brotherhood between Dao Zhi and Liu Xiaji is still there, so it is not surprising that the Huze thief turned around and turned around in anger, which is not worth the loss.
In short, if Liu Xiaji comes, he will not care about emotion or reason and cannot do too much to him.
Confucius probably gave his all today, and his various performances were amazing, and he actually came up with such a clever trick.
While he was helpless, he was also full of fighting spirit.
This feeling hasn't happened for a long time. The last time, maybe it was after hearing the name of Zhiyao at Xinxiang's Great Shooting Ceremony. Unexpectedly, before he could meet this lifelong enemy, he ran to Lu.
But his experience here is also wonderful!
Yanghu, Daozhi, Duke of Qi, Chen family...
There is also Confucius who thought before that he might be able to live in peace and chat and laugh...
Before he knew it, Zhao Wuxiu's attitude towards Confucius was from the out of reach of Jin State and looking back at this historical "saint"; when he first met, he was like a spring breeze, but he could not get rid of the ideas of his previous life.
Until now, Wu Xie and Confucius stood in the field. Although they were not as tall as him, they wanted to compete...
He thought to himself: "It happened to be the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Only by confronting these sages who have influenced China for thousands of years can we seem happy..."
