Chen State has a Li Er!

Like the Song State, Chen State was one of the three Ke and a descendant of Yu Shun. Before Li Er's great way was completed, no one was interested in the Ku County. When Li Er's great way was completed, he was taken to Luoyi, the Zhou royal family to the chapel capital.

So much so that after the monarch of Chen and his family knew the truth, they all beat their chests and stamped their feet, regretting not leaving me in Chen.

Laozi Avenue has the effect of suppressing the number of air, which is a huge benefit for a country. Did the Chen Kingdom let it go in vain?

Afterwards, many countries made fun of Chen State. The Song State, which was also a three-person sect, was naturally among them.

This time, Confucius returned to Song to worship his ancestors, and the news spread like wildfire and naturally spread to the capital of Song Dynasty and Shangqiu.

It is not clear whether Confucius was the same great sage as Li Er, but he had already walked out of his own path and had been confirmed. How many students followed him, and even people from all over the country left.

It can be said that Confucius was not involved in politics in Lu because he studied knowledge and had no affairs. If he had the intention of becoming an official, the King of Lu would definitely sweep the bed to welcome him.

If Confucius travels to various countries, he will also be a superior guest among all countries.

This time, Confucius came to Song Dynasty, which was a great thing. News had already been heard from cities along the way, so Shangqiu was naturally more sensitive.

When he learned that Confucius was a descendant of the royal family of the Song Dynasty, he had both the surnames of the son and worshiped the ancestor temple, and suddenly, some of the family members, ministers and kings of the Song Dynasty were all overjoyed.

Because of the same ancestor! So it’s even closer!

Confucius had arrived outside Shangqiu City. Suddenly, Shangqiu officials came to greet him.

Although the King of Song wanted to greet him in person, he was not in line with the courtesy and could only wait in the city.

However, the officials sent were also extremely noble.

When the Confucius horse carriage arrived at the gate of Shangqiu City, it stopped.

Confucius left the carriage and immediately saw an old man in gorgeous clothes standing at the gate of the city. The old man had a majestic face, white eyebrows, but his face was extremely rosy and vigorous qi and blood.

When I saw Confucius coming out of the carriage from afar, I immediately bowed slightly: "Song State Doctor Xiang Xu, have met Confucius' great sage!"

This gift made Confucius look solemn, and he immediately replied: "Men of the countryside, I have seen Doctor Xiang!"

Confucius knew who he was the one who signed up for himself when he heard that he had signed up.

Xiang Xu, the Dinghai Sword Needle of Song State! His status and reputation are so great that it is not just a Song State, but who doesn’t know the entire Central Plains?

It’s not that he is so powerful, but that he once dominated the “Breaking Alliance”!

After King You of Zhou was beating the world and playing with the princes, the world's rituals and music collapsed. All countries in the world conquered each other and the people lived in poverty. The world was always in war and war, what a chaotic era?

Xiang Xu, in the State of Song, invited the fourteen countries to join the alliance, recognized the position of Chu and Jin as the hegemony, and cooperated with the countries to reach an agreement, and then stopped the war, that is, the war was stopped at this point and no longer fought.

The fourteen Central Plains countries have never had any war since this war breaking up. For more than ten years, the Central Plains has never had any war. What a great achievement?

At the same time, outside the Central Plains, the Wu and Yue countries were suffering from wars and killed each other endlessly.

Compared with the world, the Central Plains land is extremely respectful to Xiang Xu. No matter where the Central Plains countries go, they are guests of honor. Even various countries invite Xiang Xu to go to become officials, but Xiang Xu never leaves the Song State.

Because Xiang Xu also has the surname Zi, and the surname Xiang, shared the same ancestral temple with Confucius and King Song.

It is hard to leave the hometown, and in the State of Song, it has always been a Dinghai magic needle.

Confucius returned to Song this time. Although the King of Song did not come to welcome him because of the ceremony, Xiang Xu came to the extreme solemnity.

"It is really rare to be a great sage in the countryside. I didn't expect that among my son's children, a great sage can be produced. My son's surname is honored, and my Song State is honored!" Xiang Xu immediately laughed and praised him.

"Be kind to the doctor!" Confucius smiled slightly.

"Confucius, if you can go back to Song, Xiang Xu is happy. Come, go, go, go, go, I have already set up a banquet, just wait for you, Confucius!" Xiang Xu immediately came enthusiastically to grab Confucius' hand.

Confucius was enthusiastic when he saw Xiang Xu, but he was not too resistant.

Nodding, Confucius followed Xiang Xu onto the carriage and arrived at Xiang Xu's mansion together.

Xiang Xu welcomed him in person, and naturally there were a large number of officials accompanying him. Confucius' students were naturally treated preferentially.

Although Confucius felt the enthusiasm, Confucius still went to his father's former residence with his disciples. Because Shu Lianghe went to Lu to develop, the residence of Song was already dilapidated.

But no matter how broken it is, it is home!

The Confucius students naturally cleaned it carefully, and there were also immortal disciples who kept repairing it.

When Confucius went to Xiangxu Mansion to attend the banquet, Confucius' house had been repaired.

Go to Xu Mansion.

Xiang Xu was extremely enthusiastic about Confucius and introduced him to everyone.

"Conqiu, do you know who this person is?" Xiang Xu pointed at an old official and smiled.

The old official was not conspicuous, but his face was extremely kind.

"Who is this?" Confucius said curiously.

"Old Qi Guanzheng! I used to be a friend of Shu Lianghe! Mr. Kong, I dare to call you Confucius, okay?" The old man smiled while touching his beard.

"Qi Guanzheng? It turns out that it is Uncle Qi Guan! Confucius is polite!" Confucius immediately bowed slightly.

"Hahaha, okay, okay, Shu Lianghe, it's so lucky to have this Lin's son!" Qi Guanzheng immediately helped Confucius up and said with a smile.

"Shame! Uncle praised it!" Confucius shook his head and smiled.

"It's not a misogyny. Your reputation has been spread from Lu State, and I, Song State, are all your great names!" Qi Guanzheng said with a smile.

"Something gained fame is not worthy of praise!" Confucius said modestly.

"Confucius, I heard that Shulianghe and Qi Guanzheng had made a marriage for their children, and even used two pieces of unity jade to testify!" Xiang Xu said with a smile.

"Uh!" Confucius frowned slightly.

"At that time, Shu Lianghe and I were close friends in life and death. Tongxin jade, I also have treasures. Confucius, your Tongxin jade has brought it?" Qi Guan was looking at Confucius, and a flash of expectation flashed in his eyes.

Looking forward, Qi Guan was taking out a jade pendant that was exactly the same as that given to Confucius by Yan, but it seemed that there was a break on the jade pendant and was re-bonded.

Perhaps, Qi Guanzheng did not keep this jade well, which was just repaired not long ago.

Confucius frowned slightly, but nodded.

Yan Hui, a student beside him, respectfully handed over a jade box.

Among the jade box is the jade pendant treasured by Shu Lianghe. Later, the jade pendant handed over to Yan's family. The one from Confucius was even brighter and softer. It is obvious that Shu Lianghe and Yan attach great importance to this jade pendant and often hold it in their hands to grop, so that they touched too much, making it more softer, brighter and more moist.

"Hahaha, that's right, Tongxin Yu, this is our certificate, Confucius, this is my decision with your father. I have three daughters. Now the eldest daughter and the second daughter are married, and only the current little girl is left. The little girl has just passed the wedding ceremony and can get married. You are here, just now! It just happens to fulfill my wish and your father!" Qi Guanzheng said with a smile.

As soon as Qi Guanzheng spoke, in the hall, officials looked at Confucius in anticipation.

Of course, the students of Confucius also saw that some young officials showed ugly expressions on their faces, but when the elderly officials glared, they lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

Confucius looked at Qi Guanzheng and smiled bitterly, "Mr. Qi Guan, I'm afraid there is something you don't know. In Confucius, he will not practice immortality in this life and will not be able to serve the government. He may be poor and have no power or power in his life. He will study harder and be unwilling to worry about other things, but he is not a good match!"

"Uh?" Qi Guanzheng was slightly stunned.

Xiang Xu raised his eyebrows on the side and immediately interrupted Confucius and said, "Confucius!"

"Doctor Xiang?" Confucius looked at Xiang Xu.

"You probably don't know, hahaha, Qi Guan's little daughter, Qi Guanchi, is my number one beauty in Song State. No, it's not an exaggeration to be the first beauty in the entire Central Plains. Just now, countless people came forward to talk about the matchmaking at Qi Guan's family. You can line up from Qi Guan's family to Lu State! Only you are qualified for such a beautiful woman. You are the order of your parents!" Xiang Xu said with a smile.

Xiang Xu wanted to keep Confucius in the State of Song.

To put it directly, it must have fallen into the trap. This time, I specially studied Confucius' situation and learned that Qi Guanzheng and Shu Lianghe had an agreement and decided to have children and relatives, Xiang Xu was immediately overjoyed. This Qi Guan was his subordinate, and Xiang Xu personally persuaded Qi Guanzheng.

Only then did Qi Guanzheng find the jade pendant that he had thrown away from that year, just to cooperate with Xiang Xu, and be able to keep Confucius.

First move it with emotion! Then let it know it with reason!

But, Confucius refused?

"Doctor, Confucius recognized the kindness of Uncle Qi Guan's father, but Confucius was very focused on the road, afraid that Miss Qi Guan would delay!" Confucius shook his head and said with a smile.

Qi Guanzheng's face suddenly froze and he didn't know what to say.

"Hahahahaha, marriage matters, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, let's talk about it again, how can you disobey your parents' orders at will? Let's talk about it again, come on, let's respect Confucius!" Xiang Xu immediately raised his glass and smiled.

"Mr. Confucius, please!" The officials accompanied Xiang Xu toasted.

"Thank you for your hospitality!" Confucius bowed to everyone and drank a glass.

"Conqiu, you are also surnamed Zi. We all have an ancestor. The king knew that you were back and had already swept the bed to welcome you. However, Yu Li was not in harmony, so I asked me to welcome you and let me apologize on behalf of the king!" Xiang Xu raised his glass and toasted.

"Thank you for your attention. This time, Qiu returned to Song Dynasty, to fulfill his father's last wish and worship his ancestors to comfort his father's spirit!" Confucius said solemnly after drinking a cup.

"Sacrifice to ancestors?" Xiang Xu's expression moved.

"Confucius, if the situation is today, I believe you know that I am old and I don't know how long it will protect the Song State. Fortunately, the descendants of the Song State have produced you, the great sage. Xiang Xu sincerely asks you, whether Confucius can stay in Song State and serve his ancestors? Xiang Xu here promises you that your day in Song State will be the most important offering of Song State!" Xiang Xu stood up and gave a solemn gift.

With this gift, officials around him bowed one after another.

At this moment, the banquet hall became extremely solemn, and everyone was asking Confucius to stay.

All the students brought by Confucius changed their expressions, but in the end, no one talked too much.

Confucius frowned slightly. Confucius could feel Xiang Xu's great sincerity, and he was also a true loyalist. However, Confucius understood even more that under the calm state of Song, there were turbulent waves and conflicts among the various ethnic groups in the Zi family. Song State was not a permanent place for scholarship. There was no environment in Lu State.

Confucius sighed slightly: "Sorry, Doctor, I haven't thought about this yet!"

Confucius refused this politely.

Xiang Xu's refusal was a little overwhelmed, but in the awkward atmosphere, the banquet slowly ended.
