After Tian Qi heard what Li Ho said, he nodded slowly and said:

"Well...this is exactly why I asked you to come here!"

Li Che was very happy to receive Tian Qi's affirmation, so he continued:

"The villain thinks that before Confucius opened a school in the state of Lu, he accepted countless disciples. Even in our state of Qi, many people worshiped him as their teacher. Moreover, now he has also photographed the affairs of the state of Lu.

, its momentum can be described as extreme.”

"Therefore, Your Majesty, you still need to pay attention to this talent. If he is allowed to develop like this in the Lu State, I am afraid that he will be worse than Cao Hui back then! So, what the villain is saying is that it is better to take advantage of his wings.

If it is not yet abundant, we should get rid of it as soon as possible to avoid future troubles!"

Hearing this, Tian Qi narrowed his eyes and asked with interest:

"Oh? You think so too?"

After hearing this, Li Ho was even more inspired:

"Oh? Could it be that...this is what your lord planned? By the way, above the court, your lord once proposed to have an alliance in Jiagu...and Jiagu is where the visitor is...could it be that your lord wants to borrow someone?

With your own hands, kill Confucius?"

Tian Qi was noncommittal and looked at the vertical cow again.

But Shu Niu asked tentatively:

"It's just that this matter is not trivial. If your name is recorded in history books in the future, might it be detrimental to you?"

Li Hoe immediately replied:

"This is simple, you can blame the trouble on someone else! This way you can ensure that you have no worries!"

But Zhu Niu said again:

"Having said that... I'm afraid the Lu people's history books won't take it this seriously."

When Tian Qi heard this, he couldn't help but burst into laughter!

The situation between Shu Niu and Li Hoe is a bit baffling.

Then, Tian Qi said:

"Hahaha! It's just a false name, so what's there to be afraid of? Even if our Tian Qi sins are caused by the present generation, for my Tian family, it is a contribution to the future! As for the events behind his death, after all, they are still made up by future generations.

?”

"Haha, as long as I, the Tian family, don't fall, why worry about being unknown? On the contrary, if my Tian family really doesn't get rich, then what's the use of gaining these false names?"

Zhu Niu listened on the side and admired Tian Qi's insights and courage very much.

After all, few people would dare to kill a great sage like Confucius.

What's more, he has to face the notoriety behind his life. Tian Qi obviously took this very lightly. For people of that era, this really required great courage.

Because, at that time, the vast majority of people, especially those in high positions, still believed that "a house that accumulates good deeds will be blessed, and a house that accumulates bad deeds will be in trouble."

Most of them believe that once a person's reputation is nailed to the pillar of shame, their descendants, and even themselves, may suffer retribution and liquidation.

For example, when it comes to future generations, there are cases like Zhao Dun's regicide, which led to his descendants being imprisoned in the palace. And there are also cases like Cui Zhu who are directly unlucky.

Therefore, "morality" was such a conspicuous banner in that era that no one dared to ignore it.

Tian Qi's extremely transparent words clearly broke out of this "iron law".

He even believes that all "morality" is actually defined by future generations. Therefore, as the head of this life, he should seek greater benefits for himself and his family.

Only in this way can our family remain invincible for a long time.

…

Now let’s go back to the State of Lu.

After Confucius took Fei Yi, he just breathed a sigh of relief and was thinking about how to attack Ji's Fei Yi.

At this moment, the State of Lu suddenly received an edict from Chujiu, the Marquis of Qi. The Marquis of Lu, Song, also urgently summoned Confucius to discuss it together.

After reading it, Luhou Song didn't say much in front of the Qi envoy, he just said:

"You envoys, it is better to go down and rest first, and then make a decision after I discuss it with all the ministers!"

The envoys from Qi bowed and left. After Song Shi, the Marquis of Lu, watched them leave the hall, he couldn't help but throw the letter away and said angrily:

"These Qi people are simply bullying others too much. Even though their Qi country is more powerful than our Lu country. But both Qi and Lu are marquises, and he actually wrote this edict in the tone of a minister. It's really true.

That’s unreasonable!”

Confucius stood up and bent down to pick up the official document on the ground, bowed and put it back on Luhou's table, and said:

"Since Duke Huan of Qi, the State of Qi has always regarded itself as a kingdom of uncles. It always thinks that it is superior to other princes. This is because they are not familiar with etiquette. Your Majesty does not need to be angry because of this."

After hearing what Confucius said, Luhou Song gradually regained his composure and sighed:

"Hey...Now the Marquis of Qi has asked me to go to Jiagu to meet with the alliance. I wonder what Kong Qing thinks?"

Confucius looked around and saw Ji Sunsi, Meng Sun, He Ji and others, all bowing their heads and saying nothing. So he opened his mouth and said:

"I believe that we must go on this trip! If we don't go, I may be given the excuse that all the princes in the world will attack Lu together!"

When Lu Hou Song heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment:

"But... that place... although it is said to be the junction of Qi and Lu, it does not mean that we are being treated badly by Lu. But the people coming over there... if the Marquis of Qi has ulterior motives, I'm afraid..."

Confucius bowed his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, please don't be in a hurry to reply to the envoy from Qi State. This matter will be discussed with you and your lords before it is too late to make a decision!"

Luhou Song couldn't help but nodded and replied:

"Well, in that case, there is Lao Kongqing!"

At this time, Lu Housong rubbed his temples and felt that his head was heavy. When all the ministers and officials saw this, they also retired one after another.

At this time, Ji Sunsi, Meng Sun He Ji, and Shu Sun Zhou Chou also found Confucius outside the palace.

Ji Sunsi spoke first:

"Lord Sikou, in fact, it is up to you to make the decision on such a major matter as this Jiagu League meeting! We all have no objections!"

Meng Sunheji also said quickly:

"Exactly, as the teacher says, the disciple will do it!"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Confucius glanced at Shusun Zhouqiu, who was standing aside and had no words, and sighed slightly:

"That being the case... Qiu please ask Mr. Ziming about this before making a decision!"

At present, no one in Sanhuan has the ability to take charge of the Lu State. Ji Sunsi and Meng Sunhe Ji are even worried about the internal troubles in their own families.

As for Shusun Zhouqiu, because the matter of Liyi has not yet calmed down, he does not even know what to do with Liyi.

But it's no wonder

After all, Shusun Zhouqiu was still young. Although he had some opinions, he was still unsure about things he didn't understand.

Confucius did not dare to neglect. After saying goodbye to Sanhuan, he immediately got on the carriage and went straight to Xinglin.

When Li Ran saw Confucius, he already knew his purpose and said:

"It is absolutely necessary for Marquis Lu to attend the Jiagu meeting! And if Marquis Lu goes, then Brother Zhongni will also have to go."

After Confucius expressed his worries, Li Ran couldn't help but snorted:

"Of course I know that the Qi State must have ulterior motives! It is not even ruled out that they will use force to force the emperor to submit. Moreover...Qi Hou Chujiu has always regarded Qi Huan Gong as his example, how could he not know that Ke Zhimeng

's story?"

"Back then, Duke Huan of Qi wanted to coerce Duke Zhuang of Lu in the alliance with Ke, but he was ultimately thwarted by Cao Hui. Obviously, if Brother Zhong Ni goes on this trip, it will probably be more dangerous than Cao Hui did back then!"

"However, if Brother Zhongni wants to rectify the three cities now, the two countries of Qi and Lu must be stable. If Qi and Lu are not stable, then there will be a reason for the three cities not to fall. Moreover, if the Qi State takes Lu Marquis's failure to go to the alliance as an excuse

Using this excuse to once again call on the princes of the world to attack me, wouldn’t it be bad then?!”

When Confucius heard this, he also said helplessly:

"Yes! In fact, Qiu Zuo also thinks so. So this alliance seems to be inevitable!"

"It's just that...as the saying goes, 'Those who have a civil service must have military preparations; those who have a military service must have civil preparations.' Now it is clear to the Qi people that the newcomers are not good, and I am afraid that Qiu cannot take them lightly!"

Li Ran responded:

"Well, what Zhong Ni said is true. Therefore, although this alliance is mainly about civil affairs, it must also be equipped with commensurate military affairs before it can go!"

Confucius thought for a moment, nodded and said:

"Well, in that case, Naqiu will ask your Majesty to take the commanders on your side and go with him!"

The so-called left and right Sima are actually the commanders of the three armies who guard the safety of the Marquis of Lu.

If you are participating in an ordinary alliance, you will generally not consider using the three armies to escort it. Usually, you will only order one minister to lead the personal army.

On this trip to Jiagu, Confucius actually planned to directly use the three armies, which shows his cautious attitude.

However, despite this, Confucius still had another concern:

"It's just that if this happens, Qi State will probably send more troops and horses accordingly..."

Li Ran said:

"Zhongni can rest assured. Although the Marquis of Qi is very fond of great achievements, he is also very face-conscious. If it is absolutely necessary, he will never go to war with us in Jiagu. Brother Zhongni can just act according to the situation. As long as it is

If you act with justice and etiquette, you will be blameless."

"As for Jiagu, this place is mostly inhabited by visitors. I'm afraid this is where Tian Qi's conspiracy lies!"

Confucius couldn't help but frown:

"It seems that Marquis Lu's trip is indeed extremely dangerous. Alas... I'm afraid Qiu won't be able to handle it by then."

Li Ran saw that Confucius was looking sad again, so he couldn't help but smile and said to him:

"Haha, forget it! Then go with Brother Zhongni and accompany Lu Hou! What do you think, Brother Zhongni?"
