Chapter 337

When traveling around the countries, his unswervingly promoted his proposal was defeated by the beautiful woman's face many times. What can Confucius do? He can't blame his parents for not giving him a handsome face that is so handsome that both men and women are.

In short, after experiencing Nanzi's incident, Confucius had a psychological shadow on women. He always felt that women were very difficult to deal with, and was his rival in love with him for the monarch. What's more serious is that the monarch was more willing to believe in the beauties around him than in his mind, which led to Confucius saying the famous saying of the eternal saying: Only women and villains are difficult to raise. If they are close, they are not inferior, and if they are far away, they are resentful.

Confucius mainly expressed his feelings for the women and villains around the monarch. After all, his main opponent was them. However, no matter how much he complained, Confucius could not change the attitude of the monarch. Confucius had seen many monarchs and summarized general experience. In short, women and villains were absolutely indispensable around these monarchs.

The woman said before that Nanzi of Weiguo was even more villains. She was jealous of Confucius and was afraid that the villains who came to seize the throne often praised Confucius in the ears of the king and said: Confucius is a man of great ability. After he comes, don’t you let him be the king?

The king was unhappy when he heard this and refused to welcome Confucius.

The villain was obviously worried that his status would not be guaranteed, but they did not say so. Instead, Confucius came to seize the position of the king and used the monarch to drive away Confucius. The villain's political methods were much more wise than Confucius.

What could Confucius do about these situations? He could only turn grief and anger into appetite, eat up all the meat in front of him, and then cheer up and continue moving forward.

"Zigong, you go to Chu State first." After eating, you have to work hard to promote the proposal. Confucius planned to send Zigong to Chu State first, and said he would invite himself, but why there was no movement, and he would not send someone to pick him up.

Zigong got the order and went to Chu State to see the situation.

Confucius and the others continued to wait in place. Anyway, they had food and drink now, so they could just find a big tree to shade the class.

When Confucius started class, his disciples spread out in a fan shape around Confucius, listened to Confucius' lectures on Zhou rituals, the Book of Songs, historical allusions, and benevolence, righteousness and morality. Yun Yao stayed at the end and listened, and no one would pay attention to her anyway.

Everyone was fascinated by listening to it, and even a few immortal cultivators could not extricate themselves, because these theories were unique in this era. Except for Confucius, there was no place to listen to it, and even the six saints had never heard of it.

The saints taught them magic and led them to enlightenment, but they never told how people could organize themselves and how to rely on their hearts to regulate themselves and society, and gave a moral standard.

Although this standard is very simple, it is sufficient as a framework.

Confucius is old and his ideas are very mature, so it is very smooth to speak.

Today Confucius talked about the Western Zhou Dynasty. How good was the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, how good did the Zhou people regulate their behavior, how peaceful the world is, and there is no war. Simply put, it is necessary to restore the Zhou rituals. It is best to restore the Western Zhou Dynasty. If it cannot restore the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, it is fine.

After the lecture, there will be a question-and-answer session, where the disciple asks questions and the Master answers.

When the cultural class is over, there will be physical education classes, driving, archery, and fencing. This countryside is the playground.

After the physical education class is over, the core disciples will teach one-on-one, usually talking about some issues of how to govern the country, which is equivalent to employment guidance.

Governing the country includes the sacrificial process, aristocratic etiquette, etc. It is not only about managing production, training the army, but also about organizational activities, teaching disciples how to organize a national event from scratch.

If disciples are familiar with these norms, they can find jobs in any country, be celebrating the ceremonies or ministers.

Confucius had no money to let go of cattle when he was a child and worked as a chore. However, he was interested in the etiquette of weddings and funerals since he was a child. He started to learn etiquette in Lu when he grew up. During this period, he also worked as an official and learned a lot of knowledge. Soon he accepted disciples. Later, he proposed the concept of self-restraint and regaining peace in the world.

Because Lu State offended Ji Huan's family, and the political situation in Lu State was unstable at that time, Confucius chose to leave Lu State to look for opportunities to practice his views. He had seen many kings, so he knew the etiquette of the vassal states clearly and taught these to students, and was more than enough to make a living.

However, even though many disciples have learned their skills, they are still willing to continue to follow their teachers. Zilu and Zigong have always followed Confucius' students and have been with Confucius, and they are like Confucius' retainers, not students.

After the one-on-one education is over, we will have a music class in the end. After all, self-restraint and rejuvenation are inseparable from music. Etiquette and music are rituals and music.

The students took out their instruments and started to snap their fingers. The soothing tunes gave people the feeling of an outing, rather than being locked outside the door and almost having no meal.

Yan Hui came over quietly and said to Yunyao: "The Master said, "You go to deliver the meal tonight and he will teach you a separate lesson."

Since he has accepted disciples, even if outsiders don’t know, Confucius will teach Yunyao, but it only takes such a short time for a meal. It has been considered to give Yunyao special care.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." Taoist Qingxu admired Yunyao quite well: "Seize the opportunity."

It's time to have a meal after the music class. Yunyao had prepared the food and brought it in personally. Zilu and Yan Hui served him.

After Yunyao put down the rice, Confucius asked, "You want to become a disciple, then what bamboo slips have you read before?"

"The Book of Songs and the Book of Changes." Yun Yao said.

Confucius couldn't help but look at Yun Yao. If the other party really understood these two books, he should take the other party as his teacher. "Since you have read these two sets of bamboo slips, you don't need to worship me as his teacher at all."

"I have read it, but I still have to listen to the teacher's opinions." Practice, theory, and then practice... Now we need to activate Confucius' knowledge and intelligence and expand the 'Da Cheng Smart Project'.

"Okay, then I'll talk about the Book of Songs." Confucius said: "Only by understanding the Book of Songs can you read the Book of Songs."

Yun Yao agreed that the Book of Songs records all aspects, from working people to sacrificial ceremony, from wars to metaphors and satires, which can be said to be all-inclusive and truly reflects the lives of people in various places.

When it comes to the "Book of Changes", it is an abstract extraction of social relations and an in-depth discussion of the relationship between heaven, earth and man. It is already derived from life and higher than life.

There are many disciples around Confucius, but not many people who can teach Confucius the Book of Changes because these disciples have not yet learned the Book of Songs and have not had enough life insights. Rampantly studying the Book of Changes will only enter the state of being mysterious and empty.

"The Book of Songs is about thinking about nothing, and the things recorded are all stories of the people..." Confucius knew the content of the Book of Songs as many as possible, and could tell flowers without filing them.

When Zilu heard this, he thought that the teacher had actually taught the Book of Songs from the beginning. Did he be too proud of this woman? You know that he is not qualified to talk to the Book of Songs with his teacher until now. Zilu is a reckless man. He is the most crazy in physical education class and the most unlucky in cultural class. So Confucius was too lazy to talk to him about the Book of Songs, which is considered to be teaching according to his aptitude. The courses are also divided into difficult and easy, from simple to ordinary to difficult.

Because Yunyao has a foundation, it is directly on average difficulty.
