I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 463 Chapter 551 Chapter 552 Return to Qufu
Hearing that Ji Le was homesick, Li Ran thought for a while, and said:
"How about this? It just so happens that Marquis Lu has recruited Ah Yan and Ah Wei to return to the country, so let's go to Qufu together. For my husband, I will write another letter and ask Fan Li to bring Guang'er to Qufu to meet us, and our family can also be happy." We are reunited in the country of Lu."

Li Ran was a little worried that Qufu might not be safe. After all, if Jisun Yiru died, Qufu would become quite chaotic.

However, Yunyi is far away from Qufu and Zhengyi, after all, Qufu is much closer.

Moreover, Guan Cong also sent a secret letter, saying that Qufu may seem chaotic, but it is actually relatively safe.

In addition, there is a great trust in escorting Gong Yan and Gong Wei back to the country.

From the three of them, Li Ran finally made this decision.

After listening to the festival music, he couldn't help but nodded, and said casually:
"Alright! If that's the case, then everything is up to my husband!"

Hearing what Li Ran said, Ji Le naturally didn't think about other things. She just wanted to see her daughter sooner.

So, Li Ran immediately wrote a letter to Fan Lishi, and talked about it with Sun Wu.

Sun Wu didn't have much opinion on this, but asked Chu Dang to protect Li Ran at all times, just in case.

Sun Wu arranged for an escort and several carriages.

There is one for Jiyue and Li Ran, one for Gongyan and Gong, one for Yihe, and other luggage.

And Sun Wu himself was riding a horse, running back and forth in the convoy to ensure the safety of everyone.

Because Ji Le's body was unwell and couldn't stand the bumps, the convoy didn't move fast.Fortunately, the journey was not too far away, but within ten days, we arrived at the outskirts of Qufu.

Along the way, Li Ran took great care of Jiyue.The two met in Qufu, and seeing that they came to the place where they met for the first time again, the mood of the two became quite sweet at the moment.

And Yang Hu, in order to show the importance he attaches to Li Ran, and to express Ji's repentance, he actually led Sanhuan to the suburbs to meet Gongyan and Gongwei.

Mengsun Heji was also in the entourage, and finally met his respected teacher Kong Zhongni here.

Because of this period of time, Kong Qiu has been busy in the Ji Mansion and never went out.Therefore, Meng Sun Heji did not meet him.

Now Mengsun Heji suddenly saw his master Kong Qiu, so he rushed to the front of Kong Qiu and knelt down on the ground.

"He Ji, the unfilial man, I have met my mentor!"

Although Confucius reluctantly helped Mengsun Heji up, his expression was quite cold:
"Lord Mengsun, you don't have to do this! Although you and I have the status of master and apprentice, it's a pity that Qiu didn't teach you what etiquette is! This is the teacher's fault. Qiu can't bear such a great gift from Master Mengsun!"

Confucius, as Meng Sun Heji's master, called himself "Master" on the left and "Qiu" on the right.

Obviously, these are not normal titles between master and apprentice.

Mengsun Heji knew that Kong Qiu did not forgive himself for being muddle-headed at the beginning, and he led troops to attack Yunyi under the threat of the Ji clan.

For a moment, he also had a face full of shame.

"Respect the teacher above all, be a teacher for a day, and be a father for life, why don't you dare or forget it."

Meng Sun Heji also said that although he led his troops to Yunyi back then, he chose to withdraw his troops in the end.

And their Meng family did it as a last resort.

"Well... I hope so."

Confucius looked elsewhere, which made Mengsun Heji feel very embarrassed under the eyes of everyone.

"Back then, the disciple was young and had never been taught by the master. Today, He Ji has the courage to ask how to be 'filial piety'? I hope the master can give He Ji some guidance."

The reason why Mengsun Heji mentioned such a sentence was that on the one hand, he really had nothing to say, and on the other hand, he also knew that his master valued filial piety the most.And when he asked such a question, he naturally wanted to please him.

When Confucius heard the question, he glanced at Mengsun Heji again, and replied coldly:

"Hehe, there's nothing like it, it's just 'no violation'!"

Meng Sun Heji heard the words, but he didn't understand why, but asked again:
"Also ask Master to speak clearly."

Kong Qiu said:

"When parents are still alive, they should be served with rites. When they are not around, they should be buried with rites and sacrificed to them! The most important thing is to be able to inherit their legacy and fulfill their unfulfilled wishes!"

In fact, Meng Sun Heji's question of filial piety was nothing more than to curry favor with Confucius.

The meaning of Kong Qiu is also very obvious, that is, you have completely forgotten the behest of your father's generation, and you have completely lost your position of the Meng family. This is really unfilial.

Mengsun Heji was also clever, and he immediately understood what his master meant.

It's just that he has been taken over by Ji Sun Yiru in all these years, and he succeeded to the throne at a young age, so of course he follows Ji's everywhere.

Therefore, most of the Meng family lost their spirits.But now that Ji Sun Yiru died, the power of the Ji family has been transferred to Yang Hu's side.

As for Yang Hu, he was extremely afraid.

After all, the shadow of being a teenager at that time still lingers, and whenever he thinks of the scene of the city tower, Meng Sun Heji is terrified.

After Li Ran, Gong Yan and Gong Wei arrived, everyone first saluted the two young masters, and then exchanged polite greetings with Li Ran.

Especially the uncles and grandsons dare not, because of the relationship between the unclesun family and the Ji family, Ji Le and his father uncle Sun Zhaozi (Shusun Luo) are of the same generation. In terms of seniority, he is the same as Gongyan and Gongwei. Call him aunt.

However, due to Ji Le's health, he didn't get out of the carriage, and Li Ran didn't have a good impression of his uncle's daring, so he didn't talk to him much.

Yang Hu saw all this, but secretly smiled.

On this side, Ji Sunsi stood in front of the crowd, because he was afraid of Yang Hu behind him, his words and deeds seemed submissive.

Li Ran looked at the young Sanhuan in front of him, and the suburb of Qufu he was familiar with.

Can't help but give birth to a feeling that time has passed and circumstances have changed, and things are different.

Of course, since the atmosphere at the scene was also very weird, Li Ran also smelled a trace of uneasiness from it.

After entering the city, Yang Hu settled down Li Ran, Gong Yan and Gong Wei.

And he invited Li Ran to the banquet alone, and Li Ran brought Sun Wu and Chu Dang to the banquet together.

When they arrived, they found that Yang Hu had invited him alone, except for Kong Qiu and Guan Cong, there was no one else.

Yang Hu toasted Li Ran three cups one after another, and said:
"Mr. Ziming, you gave Yang Hu a head-on blow back then, and Ling Hu was so enlightened that he was able to see the true face of the Ji family. Hu is really grateful!"

Li Ran smiled slightly.

"Brother Yang's words are serious. Brother Yang is able to turn back when he goes astray. This is self-enlightenment. If it is someone else who is obsessed with obsession, even if he has a good tongue, it will be useless!"

Yang Hu heard the words, and sincerely said:
"Now, Hu wants to uphold the ambition of Mr. Hu and restrict Sanhuan by entrusting his office to the public office. I hope this move can revive the national power of our country of Lu!"

Yang Hu knew Li Ran's wish, he said so, of course, to win Li Ran's favor.

After all, if he wants to continue to make a difference in the future, then he still needs to rely on Li Ran a lot.

Of course, Li Ran still doesn't know what Yang Hu is thinking, let alone what Guan Cong said to him.

However, Li Ran is not an ordinary person after all, and he can faintly feel Yang Hu's remarks, there must be his own selfish desire behind it, but it is hidden very deeply.

"I only hope that Brother Yang will not forget his original intention."

Yang Hu laughed out loud.

"Hahaha, that's natural. Tiger keeps his promise, and I hope that Mr. can help me a lot in the future."

Li Ran was not in a hurry to reply, but Yang Hu was not in a hurry, he toasted Kong Qiu again, and said:
"Brother Zhongni, you and I were a little unhappy before. When the former Panhu was captured, I was lucky to have brother Zhongni's kind words. This shows how broad-minded Brother Zhongni is. Hu hereby respects Brother Zhongni and gets a lamp!"

While talking, Yang Hu held up the cup, stood up and saluted Kong Qiu, and drank it down in one gulp.Afterwards, Yang Hu sat down again, and continued to speak:
"Brother Zhongni, Hu also has something to say, please listen carefully to Brother Zhongni."

"Hu thinks that brother Zhongni is a great sage of our country of Lu. He is full of knowledge. If there is no inheritance in the future, wouldn't it be a pity? In Hu's view, brother Zhongni should recruit more disciples. Only in this way can we succeed." Going to the sage's unique learning, and opening up the peace of future generations?! So, please brother Zhongni to open a society in Qufu to accept disciples!"

"Thus, Hu also hopes that Brother Zhongni can spread and carry forward my principles of Zhou Bang in the future, so that people in future generations will understand what 'propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame' is. There must be no more such crimes as Ji's did before. Mistake, I hope Brother Zhongni will not refuse."

When Confucius heard the words, he couldn't help standing up, and bowed his hands together and said:
"How dare Qiu have the intention to refuse? Qiu is willing to obey!"

Seeing this, Yang Hu laughed three more times, and said joyfully:
"Hahaha, good! Hu Yi will do his best to assist and give Brother Zhongni the greatest convenience!"

Chapter 552_Confucius [Spring and Autumn Annals]

Confucius followed Yang Hu's suggestion and chose an apricot grove outside the city to formally open a society to accept disciples.

Li Ran had nothing else to do, he heard that the scenery of the Xinglin Forest was well organized by Confucius, so he decided to bring the festival music here and settle down here.

In fact, apart from this reason, the most important thing is that both Li Ran and Kong Qiu vaguely sensed that Yang Hu's motives did not seem pure.

However, although they were aware of it, they thought that Yang Hu hadn't acted too much at the moment, so it was inconvenient for the two of them to say more, and decided to wait and see for a while.

And in these days, Yang Hu publicized with great fanfare, saying that Kong Qiu was a great sage of the state of Lu and the teacher of Mengsun Heji, the suzerain of the Meng family. Mr. Zhao, most of the reason why he was able to understand etiquette and manners later on was also learned from Confucius.

After Yang Hu's endorsement and publicity, some young scholars from Lu State and surrounding states came to vote one after another and worshiped Confucius.

And Confucius also used the history of Lu that his teacher taught him as a textbook, and when he was teaching, he pointed out the current maladies, which was also very vivid.

However, because this set of Lu history that he borrowed from a friend has not been annotated by him, so every time in class, when Confucius is talking to his heart's content, he will miss something.

Therefore, Confucius came up with the idea of ​​making another set.

Kong Qiu found Li Ran and expressed his intentions, and Li Ran also deeply agreed with this:

"The teaching book is the most important thing, and it must not be neglected in the slightest. However, this project is extremely huge, I am afraid that brother Zhongni is beyond his capabilities!"

"Qiu should understand, so I hope that benefactor can help Qiu."

After a moment of consolation, Li Ran opened his mouth and said:

"It doesn't matter, anyway, I have been living in Xinglin these days, if I have free time, I will help Brother Zhongni to proofread together!"

"only……"

Kong Qiu heard that Li Ran seemed distressed, and couldn't help asking:
"I don't know what's wrong with benefactor?"

Afterwards, Li Ran sighed, and told Kong Qiu:

"It's just that, as for the matter of the underworld and Daoji, Brother Zhongni should not record it for the time being. It's just because the matter is too bizarre, it will inevitably be suspected of sensationalism. If the world doesn't understand what it means, it may arouse criticism. !"

Although Kong Qiu didn't know the details about the "Dark Walking Crowd" and "Tao Ji", he was more or less aware of it when he was around Li Ran.

And Kong Qiu also knew this truth well, so he couldn't help but nodded.

At this moment, Li Ran continued to speak:
"Perhaps we can only talk about the affairs of the Quanqing's family. In this way, the world can be alerted. As the saying goes, 'a family that has accumulated good deeds must have celebrations', those who kill the king with ministers will not end well in the end. Even if the culprit has a good end, But his heirs must also be implicated by him!"

"Engong, don't worry, even if Engong doesn't say anything, Qiu will write like that. It's just... Qiu thinks that it's better to cover up the matter of Zhaogong and Jisun Yiru..."

Li Ran knew that Kong Qiu wanted to "hide the evil" for Lu Zhaogong, so there was nothing wrong with this move, he just said:

"Well, since it is taboo for the venerable, it is also appropriate."

Kong Qiu could not help but sigh:
"Qiu knows well, if there is something wrong, I will ask benefactor to correct me at that time."

"Hehe, brother Zhongni, you are being polite. Of course it's just... that's right! Apart from that, don't even mention Ran's name!"

Hearing this, Confucius couldn't help asking in wonder:

"Oh? Why is that?"

Hearing this question, Li Ran couldn't help hesitating for a while, and then said slowly:
"However, it's just a passerby, and it's insignificant in the world... It's better not to show up!"

Confucius was still puzzled by this.After all, in his opinion, Li Ran can be regarded as the brightest star in this era.

If his deeds are hidden, it is obvious that many things will not be so brilliant.Moreover, some things will even be difficult to justify.

"What Qiu wants to compile is based on the history as a mirror. If it involves the present, how can it not be recorded according to the facts? This...isn't it appropriate?"

"Zhongni, it's because Li Ran doesn't want to be recorded in history, nor does he intend to leave a name in history. So, I hope Zhongni can fulfill Li Ran's wish!"

Seeing Li Ran's insistence, Kong Qiu could only sigh and said:
"Since that's the case, Qiu Ting will do it!"

……

So, for the next period of time, Li Ran was in Xinglin, accompanied by Jiyue, waiting for Fan Li to come with Guang'er, and at the same time compiled the "Spring and Autumn Annals" together with Confucius.

[Chunqiu]'s notes are extremely concise, but almost every sentence implies praise or criticism, so it is called "Chunqiu brushwork" and "Small words and great meaning" by later generations.

It is said to be a history book, but it is actually a political science work, which has a profound influence on later generations.

It was also Li Ran's request that he did not want to be recorded in history, so when Confucius compiled it, he also deliberately erased all of Li Ran's deeds.

But being implicated by this, the records of Sun Wu, Guan Cong and others are inevitably affected by Chiyu.

For example, Sun Wu's massive military activities, as well as Guan Cong's later deeds, are no longer seen in [Chunqiu].

It is also because I have many concerns and want to express my opinions accurately.Therefore, some of the records in [Chunqiu] inevitably have omissions.

As for these, I will not repeat them one by one here.

……

And during this time, Yang Hu finally found a good opportunity.

He has always wanted to completely eliminate the old party within the Ji family that is alien to him.

Therefore, he took advantage of Ji Sunsi's succession to the position of suzerain and went to Feiyi for a routine inspection to get a letter from Gongshan Buxuan.

What the letter said was that Zhongliang Huai extremely despised the identity of Dongyi, who was not good at Gongshan.Therefore, he once suggested to Ji Sunsi to let his cronies take over the position of Feiyi Yizai.

But this time, Ji Sunsi was about to leave for Feiyi. Although it was a routine, he also seemed to have the intention of finding out the direction of the wind. He told Gongshan Buxuan to be cautious in his words.

Gongshan Buxuan received a letter from Yang Hu. Although Yang Hu said it was a serious matter, he was still skeptical about it.

After all, Yang Hu wanted to drive away Zhongliang Huai's heart, and he also knew it.Therefore, for this "killing with a borrowed knife", he will not be so easily fooled.

……

On the other hand, Ji Sunsi came all the way to Dongye under the escort of Yang Hu, Zhongliang Huai and others.It was also the place where Ji Sun Yiru was murdered.And not far away is Feiyi.

During the break, Ji Sunsi asked Gongshan Buxuan about his personality. After all, Gongshan Buxuan had been stationed in Feiyi all year round after the Nankuai Rebellion.Therefore, Ji Sunsi did not have much contact with him.

But Yang Hu said in front of Zhongliang Huai:

"Although Zixie was born in Dongyi, he has won the trust of the former master. Otherwise, Feiyi is such an important city, it is absolutely impossible for him to guard it."

"This person is loyal and dedicated to Lu, so the Lord can rest assured during this trip."

Ji Sunsi replied:
"If so, that would be the best!"

Unexpectedly, Zhongliang Huai on the side snorted coldly:
"Yang Hu, you have a very close relationship with Gongshan Buxuan, and everyone in the Ji family knows about it. Doesn't it make people more suspicious when you say that about him?"

"Hmph! The virtuous does not avoid relatives and enemies. Since the lord asks about it, how dare Hu not tell the truth? On the contrary, Brother Zhongliang has always been so brooding about Zi Xiezhi's life experience, and his mind is too narrow-minded." some!"

Zhongliang Huai couldn't help being silent for a moment:
"He is a barbarian, that is, a barbarian, and he does not understand the teachings of our state of Zhou, so how can he trust his words and deeds?"

Indeed, Zhongliang Huai had always looked down on Gongshan's disdainful barbarian status and was worried.And he was focused on Ji's sake, and felt that it would be inappropriate for an outsider to control such an important place.

It's just that, due to Gongshan's dissatisfaction, these years have been regarded as a career, and there is no overstepping.So despite his doubts, Zhongliang Huai didn't think much about it.

Before, I just thought about whether I should re-examine this person.But now Yang Hu actually said all the good things about this person in front of Ji Sunsi, which inevitably made Zhong Liang even more suspicious.

Obviously, if Gongshan Buxuan was really with Yang Hunai, it would definitely not be a good thing for the Ji family.
