500 years after the conferment of the gods, I only joined the Jiejiao

"Ah."

Kong Qiu nodded slightly.

So Yan Hui's expression became more and more excited: "You...have you realized the truth in the world?"

He was naturally excited.

As the earliest disciple to follow Confucius, he followed Confucius all the way.

What Kong Qiu saw, he naturally also saw something.

But he knew very well—his talents were not enough.

He saw the things between things, and he also knew that there must be mistakes in ethics.

But his talent is not enough to realize the true righteous way in the world.

But after ten years of following and traveling, he was extremely convinced that Kong Qiu could do it.

With the talent of Confucius, he was able to find the most perfect way to truly govern the world.

When Confucius heard this, he just smiled.

"It's not that you have to realize something."

He raised his hand and raised the carving knife in his hand and the wooden comb that recorded what he saw.

At this time, the carving knife was already a bit old.

And that wooden comb has already been carved to the brim.

"It's just that my wooden comb is full of engravings, so naturally it's time to go back."

Hearing this almost nonsensical reason, Yan Hui was also taken aback.

But then, he heard Kong Qiu laughing.

"As for the truth in the world... I dare not say that I have realized it."

"It's just that I have a superficial wish."

he laughed.

"desire?"

Not just Yan Hui.

The other disciples of Confucius also surrounded him at this time.

"Master Kong, what is your wish?"

But Duanmuci, who was still a boy in the past, is now a gentle and elegant young man.

"Zigong."

Kong Qiu looked at Duanmu Ci, smiled and called him: "You are born with intelligence and good at business."

"Ziyuan."

He looked at Yan Hui again: "You are born intelligent and benevolent."

After another (dbec), he looked at another disciple: "Ziqian."

"You are naturally good and virtuous."

He listed them one by one, and described the characteristics of the 72 disciples who followed him.

Without exception, after following Kong Qiu for so long.

Each of these disciples can be called a "great sage" in any country.

"Wait, maybe hold Zhouli?"

Kong Qiu asked softly.

"Naturally!"

And his disciples spoke one after another.

They can naturally hold Zhouli.

It can even be said that before following Confucius—they were more or less defenders of Zhou Li.

but...

"But what do you think, how many people in the world can hold the rituals of Zhou?"

Kong Qiu asked again.

As soon as this question came up, many disciples were naturally speechless.

They followed Confucius all the way and saw too many tragedies and evil things.

That is not just a single country, but all countries.

So they naturally understand.

It seems that there are only a few people who can hold Zhouli.

Those descendants of the immortal race, who were supposed to uphold the rituals of the week, only used the rituals of the week to oppress the common people.

So they couldn't answer Confucius' question.

But Confucius was not angry at this time, he just continued to laugh: "You are all sages, so you can observe the rituals of Zhou."

"You are not moved by the authority of foreign objects, so you can see the essence."

"But if all the people in the world are sages like you!?"

As soon as Kong Qiu said this, many disciples were also stunned.

They finally understood why Kong Qiu said his idea was just a 'wish'.

Because this statement is really too dreamy.

Although these disciples of Confucius are not conceited, they are not arrogant.

They all know that they are talented and talented.

But Confucius now said that if all the people in the world were like them.

"if that's the case..."

And Yan Hui couldn't help fantasizing about it.

If such a situation really exists.

"Master Kong, if that's the case—everyone in the world will be able to observe the rituals of Zhou!"

He widened his eyes and felt that he seemed to understand Kong Qiu's thoughts!

But upon hearing this, Kong Qiu just tapped him on the head with the wooden comb in his hand.

"Idiot! Idiot!"

Confucius laughed loudly and said, "If everyone in the world is a sage like you...why would there be any need for rituals!?"

"The world will be determined by itself, the mountains and rivers will be leveled by themselves, and the people will be safe by themselves. Why do we need to be bound by etiquette!?"

As soon as these words came out, many disciples were also stunned.

Then, the eyes shone with unprecedented brilliance!

Isn't it! ?

If all people in the world are sages.

So why do the rules of etiquette still exist?

Everyone is a sage, and naturally everyone is good.

There is no need for any rules, and the world will naturally be in harmony.

And if everyone is not a sage, then no matter how many rules are designed... the actual effect can be seen by Bang Zhou now.

It's just some villains who cannibalize people through 'rituals'!

And Confucius saw the expressions of his disciples.

He also clapped his hands and smiled: "I want to go back to Lu and practice my way."

"But the country of Lu alone is not enough to secure the world—are there any people who are willing to practice our way?"

When you ask this question, the answer is naturally needless to say.

"I will!"

The disciples of Confucius seem to have the radiance of the sun in their eyes.

That is the brilliance of ideals, the brilliance of finding the right way!

"I am a man who defends the country, and I go to defend the country to do my own way!"

Duanmuci was the first to speak—he followed Confucius in various countries these years, and he often did business, and he already had a family fortune!

"I am a man of the state of Cai, and I will go to the state of Cai to practice my way!"

"I am the country of Cao..."

So many disciples of Confucius spoke one after another.

They are all intelligent people, and they are all people with ideals.

Naturally, there is boundless longing for the future that Kong Qiu mentioned.

Willing to give everything for this.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Confucius was overjoyed and said three good words in succession.

Afterwards, he bid farewell to his disciples with great solemnity.

And his disciples also bid farewell to him.

They all know that they may not see each other again after this farewell.

But they have no hesitation.
