Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 255

"My lord, can you promise my concubine something?"

Ji Kou, who was sobbing in Qingji's arms, said suddenly.

"Queen, but say it's all right."

"If the concubine's father passes away, Zhenqian will not do anything, and I am afraid that he will not become a great weapon. Now that the Yue Kingdom is dead, can the king let Zhenqian inherit the title of Marquis of Yue, give Shiyi, and cultivate Zhenqian?"

Zhen Qian is Gou Jian, Ji Kou's younger brother.

Qingji has always been wary of Goujian, the king of Yue who has lived hard and tasted courage in history.

But, now there is no need!

The state of Yue is dead, how much more waves can Goujian make?
Not worth mentioning!
As for letting Goujian inherit the title of Marquis of Yue, and rewarding some food towns, focus on cultivating him.

There is no objection to Qing Ji.

After all, although the Yue State was destroyed, the hearts of the people still did not belong to the Wu State.

If Qing Ji didn't treat a descendant of the royal family like Gou Jian kindly, it might make Yue people feel dissatisfied and cause unnecessary troubles.

Therefore, after some careful consideration, Qingji decided to let Goujian be the heir of the Marquis of Yue, with three hundred households in the city of Wudu.

As for whether Goujian will become a great weapon in the future, Qingji doesn't know.

Anyway, in his lifetime, Gou Jian would never want to restore the Yue Kingdom, or make a big mess!

If he couldn't survive Gou Jian and was boiled to death by Gou Jian, he would take the first step and let Gou Jian be buried with him.

……

Confucius House.

At the residence of guest Qing Confucius, Confucius had nothing to do, so he gave lectures to his disciples, Min Sun, Ran Geng, Yan Lu, Zeng Dian and others.

As a guest minister of Wu, Kong Qiu was quite leisurely.

Just like the scholars in the recruiting hall, they are being taken care of by the government.

What is Keqing?

This is a person granted by the state of Wu to a person who is not a native of the country but is a high-ranking official in the country.

The state of Wu has a guest official, who invites people from other vassal states to come to Qin to be an official. His position is Qing, and he treats him with guest courtesy, so it is called.

The treatment of Keqing is the same as that of Shangqing, which is very generous, but this is not what Confucius is after.

He hoped that his full ambition could be displayed in Wu State, and the Confucian way of governing the country could be adopted by Wu Wang Qingji, instead of being left aside and ignored as it is now!
When he was free, Confucius could only give lectures to his disciples, and traveled around the country of Wu to study, recruit talented people as disciples, and preach without distinction.

In the nearly four years since entering Wu, Confucius has already traveled all over the mountains, rivers and rivers of Wu. Almost every corner has the footprints left by Confucius.

Therefore, in recent years, Confucianism has been very prosperous in Wu, and Confucius has gained widespread popularity in Wu by relying on the theories he advocated.

"Master, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

At this time, Yan Lu stood up slowly, and asked Kong Qiu who was on the podium.

"But it doesn't matter."

"Master, I have been with you in Wu for three or four years. However, I have only traveled around the country of Wu, and have not been used by the king. The master is a guest of the king, and I have put it on the shelf. I can't show my talents!"

Yan Lu sighed and said: "Master has the talent to govern the world, and he can help the world, but he is not valued by the king, why?"

Hearing this, Confucius thought for a while, and then replied: "Maybe just like I teach my disciples according to their aptitude, my talent for governing the country may not be suitable for the state of Wu, but it is not the king's ignorance."

"Since Master has no use in Wu, why not go elsewhere?"

"This……"

Kong Qiu was stopped by Yan Lu.

In the first half of his life, he stumbled all the way, which was quite unfortunate.

Kong Qiu's ancestors were descendants of the Yin and Shang royal family, nobles of the Song Dynasty, and their ancestors were Shang Tang, the founding monarch of the Shang Dynasty.

After the rebellion of the Third Supervisor in the early Zhou Dynasty, in order to appease the nobles and descendants of the Shang Dynasty, the Duke of Zhou ordered Wei Ziqi, the concubine brother of King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty, to establish the Song State in Shangqiu with the order of King Cheng of Zhou.

After Wei Ziqi died, his younger brother Wei Zhong came to the throne. Wei Zhong was the fifteenth ancestor of Confucius.The ancestor of the sixth generation got the Kong family and was called Kong Fujia.

Kong Fujia was a doctor of the Song Dynasty, once a great Sima, and his fief was located in Xiayi of the Song Dynasty.During the civil strife in the palace, he was killed by Dazai Huadu, and his father, Jiazi Mujinfu, escaped from the disaster and fled to Zouyi in the State of Lu to settle down.

Mu Jin's father gave birth to Uncle Kong Fang, and Uncle Kong Fang's grandson Shu Lianghe was Kong Qiu's father, and his official position was Zouyi Dafu.

It is worth mentioning that Kong Qiu's surname is Kong, and his father Shulianghe (Shuliang is the word and He is the name) is a famous warrior in the state of Lu.

Shulianghe first married the Shi family, and had nine daughters but no son. His concubine had a son, Meng Pi, who had foot disease.

Under the circumstances at that time, women and disabled sons were not suitable to be heirs.

In his later years, Shulianghe gave birth to Confucius with a young woman named Yanshi.

In order to have a son, Shulianghe once prayed to Niqiu Mountain, so he named it Qiu and the word Zhongni.

And when Confucius was three years old, Shu Lianghe died of illness. After that, Confucius' family was quite poor.

Fortunately, Kong Qiu was sensitive and eager to learn. He served as a small official in Lu State when he was young, but he was never reused and had no way of promotion.

Later, Duke Zhao of Lu was defeated by Jisun, Shusun, and Mengsun, the three Huans who were in power in Lu State, and fled to Qi State. Confucius left Lu State for Qi State.

At that time, Confucius once talked about music with Grand Master Qi. He heard the beauty of Shao music, but he didn't know the taste of meat in March.

Qi Jun Lu Chujiu (Qi Jinggong) treated Confucius well and wanted to entrust him with important tasks, but was destroyed by Yan Ying. Kong Qiu had no choice but to return to Lu State to recruit disciples to teach him.

After learning that King Qingji of Wu was thirsty for talent and issued an order to seek talent, Confucius couldn't help but want to show what he had learned, so he rushed to Wu.

Unexpectedly, Qingji believed that Confucius' way of governing the country was not suitable for Wu, but he could be named a guest minister and given preferential treatment.

This made Kong Qiu very depressed.

He admits that Qingji really loves talents and is eager to seek talents, but why can't he reuse himself?

"Master, what Yan Lu said is very true."

Zeng Dian, who was on the side, stood up and said: "Although your majesty is still a wise king and a heroic ruler, his ways are different, so we don't seek each other's schemes."

"How can a gentleman be depressed and live under others for a long time?"

"Exactly!"

"Zeng Xi (Zeng Braille Xi) is right!"

"Master, after all, Wudu is not a place to stay for a long time. Let's go back to the country of Lu. Wouldn't it be nice to travel around the world like before?"

Min Sun, Ran Geng, Yan Lu, Zeng Dian and other disciples were unwilling to stay in Wu and do nothing, so they all persuaded Confucius to take them out of Wu.

This made Kong Qiu very hesitant.

He is not allowed to be reused in the state of Wu, so can he be reused in the state of Lu?

The state of Lu is still in power now under the Sanhuan Jisun, Shusun, and Mengsun clans.

San Huan despises the virtuous and despises the scholars. At that time, it will be difficult for Confucius not to say that he is outstanding, but even to be a local official!

"This matter will be discussed later."

Kong Qiu shook his head, after all, he hadn't made up his mind.

Immediately afterwards, Confucius brought his disciples, dozens of them, to give lectures outside a wine shop in the west of the capital city of Wu.

It is worth mentioning that after living in Wu for many years, Confucius has recruited many disciples in Wu.

Not to mention the registered disciples, there are hundreds of disciples who follow Confucius and listen to his teachings at any time, and most of them are from Wu.
