Lu State! At Ji Sunsi's house.
At this moment, the three masters of Sanhuan gathered at Jisunsi's house.
Ji Sunsi, Meng Xizi, and the head of the uncle's family were drinking tea, with ugly looks on their faces.
"Ten years, right?" Ji Sunsi said solemnly while taking a sip of tea.
"Yes, it has been ten years since Shaozheng Mao came to Lu. Ten years later, Confucius' son, Kong Li, is already ten years old, and Confucius is also thirty years old!" Meng Xizi said solemnly.
"You still have the nerve to talk about Confucius? You said that the Avenue of Confucius will definitely surpass Shaozhengmao. So, we have been waiting, waiting, and waiting all these years. Look at it now, the Avenue of Confucius has been shrinking. All the students will be robbed by Shaozhengmao!" Ji Sunsun said angrily.
Meng Xizi took a sip of tea and said: "You don't understand! My son studied under Confucius, so he naturally knows more than you. Confucius has fewer and fewer students now. There are only seventy-two disciples now. However, these seventy-two disciples , the future will be limitless! Everyone must be an able minister in governing the world!"
"Bah! Seventy-two disciples? Huh, Meng Xizi, I think you are dreaming. Confucius huddles at home all day long, never leaving the door or taking a step forward. What is the use of writing about the Spring and Autumn Period? I haven't seen Shaozheng Mao today. Are you so arrogant?" Ji Sunsi glared.
"Confucius' "Spring and Autumn" is about to be finished. If it doesn't come out, it will be shocking. If it comes out, it will be shocking. What the hell do you know? Besides, weren't you the one who provoked Shao Zhengmao?" Meng Xizi snorted coldly.
"What do you mean, it's all my fault? I can control Shaozhengmao, but I...!" Ji Sunsi glared.
"Okay, okay, you two, stop arguing! Aren't we here to solve the problem?" the head of the uncle family persuaded with a wry smile.
"Huh!" Ji Sunsi and Meng Xizi both snorted coldly.
"King Lu is also a fool. He gave his Qi to Shaozhengmao. Now, there are followers of Shaozhengmao everywhere in the Lu country. He, King Lu, still has a lot of prestige!" Ji Sunsi said solemnly.
"King Lu expects Shao Zhengmao to deal with our three major families!" Meng Xizi said coldly.
"Bah, this is giving all the power of our Lu country to Shaozhengmao. Now, Shaozhengmao is in charge of the Lu country. His great ways are monstrous, and his students are all over the major strata of the Lu country. The subordinates of our three major families, Many of them are followers of Shaozhengmao, and they don’t even listen to us. They only listen to Shaozhengmao. It’s really...!" Ji Sunsi said with an ugly face.
"If this continues, our three masters will be ousted by their subordinates, and King Nalu has also been ousted. Shao Zhengmao, he is causing trouble to the Lu Kingdom and should be killed!" Meng Xizi said coldly.
"I also know that he should be killed, but who can kill him? He now has the Dao in hand. Last time we spent a lot of money to hire a Da Luo Jinxian to assassinate him. What was the result? The Da Luo Jinxian actually died on Shaozhengmao's Dao. Among them, who is Shaozhengmao's opponent now? The Lu State has become Shaozhengmao's world. Not only is he powerful, but he also has won the hearts of the people because of his disciples. What can we do?" Ji Sunsi said bitterly. .
"It's all King Lu's fault. He has no restraint and squandered all his energy on Shaozheng Mao. King Lu is not worthy of being King of Lu! If we can survive this crisis and drive King Lu out of power, otherwise, sooner or later our Lu country will be ruined by him. In your hands!" The uncle's head said coldly.
"It's better to get through the current difficulties first!" Ji Sunsi sighed.
"In the State of Lu, the only one left who can deal with Shaozhengmao is Kongqiu, who has no way out!" Meng Xizi said in a deep voice.
"Confucius? What can we do if he doesn't even go out? He doesn't care about the outside world at all!" Ji Sunsi said in a deep voice.
"Continue to promote Confucius!" Meng Xizi said solemnly.
"Promotion? Does Confucius care about official positions? He doesn't care, right? Ever since Shaozhengmao made him a small official in order to humiliate Confucius, Confucius has never received it, let alone come out!" Ji Sunsi frowned.
"Confucius did not accept this small official, but his students did not want to see Confucius being criticized, so they used Confucianism and Taoism to govern on their behalf, but the effect was amazing! So much so that although Confucius never showed up, he , but his official position is getting higher and higher, and in the past ten years, he has become a little Sikong!" Meng Xizi said.
"What do you mean?" Ji Sunsi's expression changed.
"While we, the three masters, still have only the right, we will push Confucius one step further!" Meng Xizi said.
"Push it one step further?"
"Confucius was appointed as the 'Great Sikou' of the State of Lu, and was responsible for photographing ministerial affairs!" Meng Xizi said.
Ji Sunsi's pupils suddenly shrank: "What do you mean, let Confucius be in charge of the punishment and prison laws of the Lu State and become the prime minister of the Lu State?"
"Can't you?" Meng Xizi smiled.
"Because Shao Zhengmao has a large number of people who are doing evil and violating the law. Confucius is a great minister, so he must deal with them. This, is this stimulating the conflict between Confucius and Shao Zhengmao? Suppose the situation again, Confucius is more He is in charge of the power of Lu State!" Ji Sunsi's expression changed.
"It's difficult!" said the uncle's head.
"I know it's difficult, but the three of us need to work together to push Confucius up, otherwise, we will soon be left alone!" Meng Xizi said solemnly.
The three masters looked at each other and finally nodded. This is the last chance for the three masters.
----------------
The palace! King Lu is attending a court meeting.
"Promoting Confucius to the rank of Chief Minister, taking photos of ministers?" King Lu asked with a complicated expression.
"Yes, what Confucius has done over the years is obvious to all. Although he rarely shows up, his students have done everything very well. If Confucius becomes a great military commander, the country of Lu will definitely be in great power!" Ji Sunsi said.
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
… … …
… …
…
Suddenly, a large number of officials spoke.
Under the operation of the three masters, half of the officials in the hall supported the proposal, while the others did not speak, as if they did not participate.
After all, in the State of Lu, King Lu had no sense of presence. Now Shaozhengmao is even more ambitious and naturally takes away the few supporters King Lu has. Now that Shaozhengmao is gone, what can King Lu do
Immediately, Confucius appointed the chief minister, and the matter of photographing was settled.
When an official sent the seal to Qufu Palace.
Zilu, Duanmuci and others were also confused.
"Teacher, has he been promoted again?" Duanmuci asked blankly.
"Yes, I've been promoted again, what should I do now?" Zilu said in confusion.
"What can we do? It's not like you didn't hear the teacher's lecture yesterday. The teacher said that in these few days, the Spring and Autumn Period will be completely completed. In these few days, the teacher's great truth will shake the world. At this time, any Don't disturb the teacher with your complicated worldly affairs!" Duanmuci solemnly said.
Zilu nodded: "That's fine. I'm a Confucian and pay attention to being born in the world. Since the teacher is a great minister, he naturally has to do a good job in political affairs. Let's handle it on the teacher's behalf first!"
"good!"
"Big Sikou, there are too many corrupt officials in the Lu State now. We just want to kill some of them and imprison some of them. We didn't have the rights in the past, but now that we have the power, we must do a good job!" Zilu said solemnly.
"Yeah!" All the students nodded.
-------------
Shaozhengmao Academy!
Shao Zhengmao was sitting on a high platform, watching more and more students coming, ready to listen to his own teachings.
Shaozheng was drinking tea comfortably, with a group of disciples standing respectfully behind him. And these disciples, just now, were still ranking in the court of King Lu, and they were all ministers of the State of Lu.
Above the Lu Dynasty Hall, these ministers were indifferent to King Lu, but here, they were strangely respectful.
King Lu looked on with envy as these ministers were so respectful to Shaozhengmao. It would be great if these ministers could treat him in the same way.
"Shaozhengmao, the three major families have started, and I, I can't do anything about it!" King Lu looked at Shaozhengmao with an apologetic smile.
For ten years, Shaozhengmao was at the peak of his power in the Lu Kingdom. Now, he could not stand even the humiliation of the King of Lu.
With a condescending attitude, he looked away at King Lu.
"I already know about this, Confucius? Huh, ten years later, I have looked away. He is just a coward! I used to take him too seriously!" Shaozhengmao said calmly.
"Yes, yes, how can Confucius compare with you?" King Lu suddenly smiled apologetically.
Shaozhengmao took a sip of tea: "Confucius? Haha, ten years have passed, and the great road is still the same. The sea of great roads only reaches fifty miles. It really disappoints me. And my sea of great roads is already five hundred miles long. It's Ten times as good as him! My students are all over the country of Lu! They are even more unmatched by Confucius!"
"That's right, that's right, that's right!" King Lu suddenly smiled apologetically.
"The teacher said back then that the Dao is pure and must not be tainted with royal power? Oh, what the teacher said is not entirely right. Only the Dao with Qi poured into it can become powerful quickly. The teacher said, is this an evil way? Is it an evil way? Look, now Lu Everyone in the country believes in me, am I evil?" Shao Zhengmao sneered.
"No, no, yours is the right way!" King Lu suddenly smiled apologetically.
At this moment, King Lu was in a state of unspeakable pain. Although he was oppressed by the Three Huans in the past, he still had the same rights as any of the Three Huans. But now, everyone around him seems to have been brainwashed and believe in Shaozhengmao.
Today's Shaozhengmao can be said to be the one who can call the wind and rain in the state of Lu, giving orders to the whole country. He, the King of Lu, could only look up to him and breathe.
Brainwashing the ministers, taking control of the Lu State, and bringing chaos to the world, isn't this considered evil
King Lu dare not say it! King Lu believed that as long as he disobeyed Shao Zhengmao in the slightest, he might not be able to see the sun tomorrow.
"Ha, hahahahahaha!" Shao Zhengmao laughed proudly.
"Teacher, it's not good, teacher!" At this moment, a group of students rushed over.
"Huh?" Shaozheng Mao looked at the group of students coldly.
"Teacher, many of our classmates were arrested by Confucius students. Some were killed on the spot, and some were imprisoned!" the group of students said anxiously.
"Student Confucius dares to arrest my student?" Shaozheng Mao said coldly.
"Yes, they said that our classmate is a corrupt official, and they found a lot of evidence, those, those...!"
"What are those?" Shaozheng said coldly.
"Teacher, you know that the money and treasures that Confucius students complained about for their embezzlement are all to honor you, teacher. They...!" the first student whispered.
"Absurd!" Shaozheng glared.
Suddenly, no one around dared to make a sound.
"Confucius? How dare you come to trouble my students now? Well, okay, okay, okay, I let him do whatever he wants in the state of Lu when he became a great commander. I let him go now. If that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Shaozheng Mao said coldly.
"Shaozhengmao, what are you going to do?" King Lu asked in a low voice.
"Confucius? You've been hiding in Qufu Palace, isn't it good? Now that you've shown up again, I'll let him know who has the final say in the State of Lu!" Shaozheng said in a cold voice.
"Teacher, do you need to declare a challenge to Confucius?" a student asked.
"No need. This time, my master, I will go hunting in Qufu in person. Keep an eye on Confucius's students. Don't let any of them leave! I want them to understand what the power of the Great Dao is!" Shaozheng Mao Leng vocal channel.
"Teacher personally went to destroy Confucius Avenue?"
"Teacher, you think too highly of Confucius!"
"Students must be optimistic about Confucius's seventy-two disciples, so that none of them can leave!"
"Avenge these senior brothers!"
"Destroy Confucius! Promote the great road!"
… … …

A group of students suddenly became extremely excited.
