Confucius's team continued to move towards Qufu Palace of Lu State!
Only this time, there were four more children in the team, named Ziyou, Zigong, Zixia and Ziwo respectively.
The four of them were arranged by Confucius and asked Zilu to teach them basic knowledge.
Along the way, Zilu also taught carefully and was extremely surprised by the four children who suddenly appeared.
The four of them also have the same surname? Could it be that he is a descendant of the royal family of the Song Dynasty
What shocked Zilu even more was that the four children were in excellent health, no, not very good. No matter how he secretly tested them, what made Zilu collapse was that these four children were stronger than him in physical strength.
How is it possible? I am a true immortal! Can't compare to these four kids
Where did these four little children come from
Zilu was puzzled, but he didn't dare to have an attack after all. After all, it was arranged by the teacher himself. The fourth boy seems to have hidden his cultivation. He is probably stronger than himself. It would be too easy to deal with the teacher.
"Senior brother, I still want to study with you so that I can catch up with the teacher's progress as soon as possible. I'm sorry to bother you!" Zixia said with a smile.
"Okay, okay! The teacher has compiled countless books, including the Five Classics of Poems, Books, Rites, Yi, and Music. You must memorize them all first!" Zilu said helplessly.
"Okay, thank you, senior brother!" the fourth boy said extremely politely.
Along the way, the four children kept carrying these books.
On top of the carriage.
Qi Guanchi leaned on Confucius' arms and listened to Confucius' explanation.
"Those four are your nephews?" Qi Guanchi said in surprise as he watched the four children running outside.
"Yes, they are all Da Luo Jinxian, and they have good cultivation! You can follow me, I can teach them what I have learned, and besides, with them guarding you, you can also raise your child with peace of mind!" Confucius said with a smile.
"Nephew? It's really...!"
"There are five more who left with Bao Si!" Confucius explained.
"leave?"
"Yes, I told you why I took Bao Si away from the Song Kingdom this time. Sheng Jiutian searched for King Zhou You and Bao Si all over the world, and finally locked the Song Kingdom. If this continues, sooner or later they will be found. So, Bao Si must leave the Song Kingdom to attract Sheng Jiutian's attention and make Sheng Jiutian think that King Zhou You and Bao Si have left the Song Kingdom, otherwise, the Song Kingdom will be in danger!" Confucius explained.
"Tune the tiger away from the mountain?"
"Yes, but it's a pity that Sheng Si has only traveled through time for more than two hundred years, and his cultivation is far worse than his future body. Therefore, I arranged for five nephews to escort him all the way and 'expose' him to the world! Attracting Sheng Jiutian's Eyes!" Confucius said solemnly.
"Will she be discovered if she is exposed like this? What if...!" Qi Guanchi asked worriedly.
"Are you worried that when they travel around the world, their walking pattern will be discovered, and then they will be blocked by Sheng Jiutian?" Confucius said with a smile.
"Yeah, that Sheng Jiutian seems to be very powerful? What if we set a trap...!"
"Don't worry, just to prevent Sheng Jiutian from setting a trap. I have set a route for them in advance. No matter what situation or attraction they encounter, they must be exposed according to the route I provided. My route has no rules. In this way, there will be no Sheng Jiutian has controlled the rhythm, and at the same time, let’s explore how much Sheng Jiutian controls this world!” Confucius said solemnly.
"Well, you are still thoughtful!" Qi Guanchi said gently.
"We made an appointment with Bao Si for ten years. In ten years, they will come to Qufu and join us!" Confucius explained.
"Um!"
------------------
Qufu Queli.
Confucius is back. The local people naturally welcomed Confucius very much.
Confucius didn't care about other things either. Continue to learn.
Half a month later.
"Teacher, King Lu has ordered that you be appointed as the commissioner of Qufu Queli and be responsible for managing the warehouses near Qufu Queli!" Zilu came forward with a frown.
"It's too much to bully others. My teacher is just a small official? What does King Lu think? In the Song Dynasty, what kind of official position will the teacher not get? This is intentional...!" Nangong Jingshu glared and said angrily.
"Okay, don't worry about that!" Confucius shook his head.
Confucius didn't care about the minor officials.
"Teacher...! This is an insult to you!" Zilu said anxiously.
"If you don't care about them, their insults can only be jealousy! Now that I'm a teacher, I'm starting to have my spring and autumn, and I don't have the energy to deal with external affairs. Next, you can help me deal with it!" Confucius said solemnly.
"Yes!" All the students could only respond.
When he was in the Song Dynasty, Confucius wrote the title "Spring and Autumn"!
Now that I'm back, it's time to polish the Spring and Autumn Avenue with peace of mind. How can I have time to care about external affairs
Confucius didn't care about the outside world, but the students couldn't care less.
Especially Uncle Nangong Jing, who was in the Song State and saw how much the entire Song State worshiped the teacher. The teacher would rather give up the prestige of the Song State and return to the Lu State. The Lu State actually treated the teacher like this
Commissioner? This is a naked insult!
"Uncle Nangong Jing, go back and ask your father what's going on!" Zilu frowned.
"Senior brother, don't worry, I will definitely ask clearly!" Uncle Nangong Jing left quickly.
Confucius was peacefully doing Spring and Autumn, but he saw that the huge sea of righteousness above Confucius' Dao Dao became bigger and bigger with the appearance of each word of Chunqiu.
In the Song Dynasty, the righteousness could be expanded to fifty miles. Now it is getting bigger and bigger, and in just half a year, it has reached a size of a hundred miles.
Seeing the sea of righteousness getting bigger every day, all of Confucius' students showed excitement.
Confucius was studying knowledge while giving lectures to the students. During this time, his nephews also studied very hard and learned quickly.
Occasionally, Confucius would accompany Qi Guanchi and watch Qi Guanchi's belly getting bigger and bigger.
"Husband, what is the name of your great road?" Qi Guanchi asked, leaning on Confucius's arms.
"My Dao focuses on the moral cultivation of a gentleman, emphasizes the complementarity of benevolence and propriety, attaches great importance to the five moral ethics and family ethics, advocates education and benevolent government, despises corvee and underpays taxes, criticizes tyranny, strives to establish an order of etiquette and music, change customs, and protect the country and the people. The main thing is to be in the world, everyone can learn it, everyone needs it, and using the words '人' and 'need' is called 'Confucianism'!" Confucius said solemnly.
"Confucianism? That's not...!" Qi Guanchi said in shock.
I still remember the realm of Confucianism and Taoism that I faced before I traveled through time, which was better than Xun.
Now, is this also Confucianism
"Everything has its fate, and this may be a kind of fate! My Confucianism is not better than Xun Kuang's Confucianism!" Confucius said with a smile.
"Giggle, I'm not surprised, but I'm thinking that when we go back in time, you are an authentic Confucian and Taoist person. By then, won't you be so angry that you will vomit blood?" Qi Guanchi suddenly laughed.
Confucius touched Qi Guanchi's head, smiled slightly and said: "Victory over Xun Kuang is nothing to worry about, but victory over Li Er is the one in danger!"
"oh?"
"However, no matter how strong he is in defeating Li Er, he is still a fake Li Er. In this era, there is a real Li Er. If my field of Confucianism and Taoism can compete with Lao Dan's field of morality, then I will definitely be able to defeat that fake Li Er when I go back. !" Confucius said solemnly.
"What do you mean?" Qi Guanchi asked curiously.
"I think that after I have perfected the "Spring and Autumn" and polished my way, I will set off to Luoyi, the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, to meet Lao Dan and discuss our ways!" Confucius said solemnly.
"Going to see me?" Qi Guanchi frowned.
"It's early. If I want to completely perfect this avenue, it will take at least ten years!" Confucius said with a smile.
"Yes!" Qi Guanchi saw that Confucius would not leave him for the time being, and he lay gently in Confucius' arms.

Lu State, Meng Mansion!
"Dad, are you saying that it was Shao Zhengmao's idea to use his junior official position to insult the teacher? Shao Zhengmao is back?" Nangong Jingshu stared in surprise.
Meng Xizi looked gloomy and nodded: "Not bad!"
"What a shame, that old guy Ji Sunsi, he still wants to go against the teacher? Wasn't the lesson learned last time enough?" Uncle Nangong Jing said bitterly.
"Ha, you are wrong this time. Ji Sunsi is very angry now!" Meng Xizi laughed.
"What's the meaning?"
"Last time, Shaozhengmao came to the Ji family, and Jisunsi cooperated with Shaozhengmao. As a result, he was disgraced in Qufu. This time, Shaozhengmao came back and wanted to use Jisunsi to deal with Confucius. Unfortunately, this time Once, Ji Sunsi refused to be fooled, so Shao Zhengmao abandoned Ji Sunsi and went to find King Lu!" Meng Xizi laughed.
"Then Ji Sunsi, isn't he going to be angry to death? Ji Sunsi originally worked for Shao Zhengmao because Shao Zhengmao was a student of Laozi and knew the way of Qi Shu. Ji Sunsi wanted Shao Zhengmao to help capture King Lu's Qi Shu. , he cooperated, and now, Shao Zhengmao has abandoned him directly?" Uncle Nangong Jing said in surprise.
"That's right, hahaha, old guy Ji Sunsi, he has today, hahaha, he has come to me for a drink several times, and every time he vomits bitterness!" Meng Xizi laughed.
"King Lu, did you listen to Shao Zhengmao?"
"He simply obeyed his words! I heard that he even lent his energy to Shaozhengmao, so that Shaozhengmao's avenue expanded countless times in a short period of time, expanding to the moral Tianchi of two hundred miles. Now, how many people are in the Lu State? I'm going to study with my teacher!" Meng Xizi said solemnly.
"Become my master, Young Master Zhengmao?" Uncle Nangong Jing's expression changed.
"Have you not noticed that during this period, there are fewer people going to study at Confucius?" Meng Xizi said.
"Okay, okay! Shaozhengmao! You actually stole the teacher's students?" Uncle Nangong Jing's face showed hatred.
"This Shao Zhengmao came back from Luoyi specifically to deal with Confucius! Moreover, this time, he learned how to be patient!" Meng Xizi said solemnly.
"I know, dad!" Uncle Nangong Jing nodded.

Lu State, royal palace.
A group of maidens are dancing. Amid a group of attendants, only two people were sitting in the hall at the moment.
One is naturally King Lu. King Lu has a rather upright appearance, but there is a flattering look in his eyes. He is looking at the other man sitting upright, who is Shaozhengmao.
At this moment, beside King Lu and Shaozhengmao, there were beautiful maids serving them and feeding them wine.
"Shaozhengmao, how confident do you think you are?" King Lu looked at Shaozhengmao expectantly.
Shao Zhengmao glanced at King Lu, chuckled and said: "Don't worry, my Dao Dao will help you suppress your anger, and I guarantee that your power as King Lu will continue to grow stronger until you can completely control the country of Lu. Sanhuan? It will only be a passing cloud soon." , there will only be your voice in the entire Lu country!"
"Hahaha, okay, okay! Come on, let me toast you!" King Lu said with great joy.
Shaozheng took a sip of wine and said, "However, this matter cannot be rushed. We need to take care of it slowly!"
"It should, it should!" King Lu laughed.
"By the way, what was Confucius' reaction after he was appointed an official?" Shao Zhengmao looked at King Lu.
King Lu looked at an attendant.
"Your Majesty, this old slave didn't see Confucius. Those Confucius students ignored him!" the attendant said respectfully.
"Huh?" Shao Zhengmao's face darkened.
