Faced with Shu Sunzhu's questioning, Zi Lu did not show the slightest panic. Instead, he couldn't help but sneered:
"Master Shusun's words are ridiculous! How can he be of Si Chi's generation? Moreover, Master Gongshan is the governor of Fei Yi, and he is definitely not comparable to the likes of Hou Fei!"
"However, it is normal for Mr. Shusun to have such doubts. After all, the master had a difficult relationship with the Ji family before."
"However, although the world knows that the family master is the old enemy of the Ji family, few people mention it. Wasn't the family master also the Ji family's old official in the beginning? It can be said that the Ji family is also kind to the family teacher. exist!"
"So, in the final analysis, what the master is opposed to is just Ji Pingzi's domineering behavior, and it is not directed at the Ji family. Presumably, Lord Yizai is well aware of this, right?"
When Gongshan Buxiang heard this, he couldn't help but nodded, and he was deeply convinced of this.
After all, Gongshan Buxuan also had an idea of what kind of person Confucius was.
Speaking of Confucius, although he has a great reputation, he stopped his work in his early years to defend his rights and became an official. Later, he attached himself to the dragon and the phoenix, first to Duke Zhao of Lu, and then to the Marquis of Qi. In the end, he was depressed and lost his ambitions. At that time he became the Prime Minister of Zhongdu.
Therefore, in the eyes of Gong Shan Buxuan and others, no matter how sanctimonious Confucius was, in the final analysis he was still a person who had no benefits and could not afford to die early.
Therefore, it is only normal that Confucius would choose to cooperate with Ji again.
At this time, Zilu continued to speak:
"Haha, what's more, now that you have assumed the position of the Ji family's head, do you two think it is necessary for the family master to deal with the Ji family again?"
When Gongshan Buxuan heard this, his mind raced and he nodded again.
At that time, he invited Confucius to come to Feiyi. Confucius actually agreed readily at first, but later Yang Hu was the one who got there first, so Confucius was unable to make the trip at that time.
Therefore, Gongshan Buxuan firmly believed in Zilu's words.
After all, Yang Hu placed Confucius in Xinglin to build publicity for himself, and even later made him the Prime Minister of the Central Capital. He knew all these things.
When Gongshan Buxuan heard what Zilu said, he couldn't help but sit down again and said:
"So...according to your opinion, Confucius and Ji Sunsi did not actually intend to fall to the Three Capitals?"
I saw Zilu holding his head high and replied decisively:
"As stated before, all this is Shusun Zhouqiu's plan! There was such a chaos in Liyi, and he naturally wanted to fall into Liyi. However, they were worried that this would weaken the Shusun family's strength. This news As he grows up, the Ji family will only become stronger."
"So, although the Shusun family and the Ji family are harmonious on the surface, they are actually not so! Master Gongshan must also know this! Even this Master Shusun, who comes from the Shusun family, must not be able to deny this. ?!”
Hearing this, Gongshan Buhan couldn't help but follow Zilu's eyes and look towards Shusun Yue. The two looked at each other and saw that Shusun Noi had not raised any objection.
Obviously, as a descendant of the Shusun family, how could he not know about this matter?
In fact, the fight between the Ji family and the Shusun family has never stopped since the beginning of Sanhuan.
Later, Ji Wuzi and his uncle Muzi, Ji Pingzi and his uncle Zhaozi, the two families were even more powerful.
At this time, Zilu continued:
"Furthermore, in order to achieve his goal, Shusun Zhouqiu united with the Meng family to put pressure on the Ji family. And in view of the past mistakes of his brother Lu Zhaogong, your Majesty naturally still has a grudge against the Ji family."
"My lord, in order to protect the Ji family and prevent the emperor from getting suspicious, he had to agree to this in public!"
"However, this matter is extremely harmful to my Ji family, so I wrote a special letter and ordered me to bring it to Mr. Gongshan for his review!"
Therefore, Mr. Gongshan accepted the letter written by Ji Sunsi to himself on the spot.
However, this letter still emphasized that Gongshan Buxuan should implement the instructions of Zhenfei Yi as soon as possible so that "the people of the world can feel at ease."
Gongshan Buxuan saw the words "people in the world feel at ease", but he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"This... what does 'the people of the world feel at ease' mean? Whether Fei Yi falls or not is, at best, a matter within the Ji family, but what does it have to do with the people of the world?"
When Zilu heard this, fortunately he was already prepared for this, so he raised his hand and added:
"The head of the family wanted to prevent this letter from being intercepted halfway, which would then become a weapon to deceive the emperor. Therefore, he also made this clear in the letter."
Gongshan Buxuan dragged his chin with one hand and fell into deep thought. When his uncle and grandson saw this, he asked again:
"Even if it's what you said, at least on the surface, he agreed. In that case, what does Dr. Ji Sun mean by asking you to come here?"
When Zilu heard this, he realized that the matter was half done. As for Shusun Zhuang's question, it was obviously also in Li Ran and Confucius' plan.
"Haha, first of all, the lord and the tutor have specifically warned that Fei Yi must not fall. Once Fei Yi fails, the Ji family will lose support! Zhong You came here, although he was pretending to fulfill his duties as a family minister and supervise Fei Yi. In fact, they are here to protect Fei Yi!"
Gongshan Buhuan heard that he actually said that he was here to protect Fei Yi. Although he still couldn't believe him, he had no choice but to believe this secret letter.
Therefore, Gongshan Buxi's attitude has changed slightly, and even his tone has softened a lot:
"Oh? Since you are here to protect the city, then... what are your plans?"
When Zilu heard this, he took out the letter Confucius had given him without hesitation and said:
"There is also a letter from my master here. I would like Mr. Gongshan to read it! After you read it, you will have your own answer!"
Gongshan Buxuan took Confucius' letter again and read it carefully.
It turned out that according to Confucius' intention, he must hold his troops first and not easily demolish the Feyi city wall. Just because they were far away in Feiyi and knew nothing about the actual situation in Qufu, they advised him to discuss with Zilu when encountering problems and not to act out of emotion and make wrong judgments.
Regarding this letter from Confucius, since Gongshan Buxuan had also received a letter from Confucius before, he knew that this letter was indeed written by him.
In this way, Gongshan Buxuan no longer doubted what Zilu said.
He put the letter aside, stood up and cupped his hands and said:
"Please Sir Zhong, please tell me frankly, what should I, Fei Yi, and everyone do now?"
Zilu said:
"In fact, the current situation in Qufu is that the Shusun family has united with the Meng family, and most of the officials support the Shusun family."
"Just because the Ji family had Ji Ping's descendants in front of them to take over the affairs of the emperor, and there were accompanying ministers behind them to carry out the country's affairs, so the majority of the people in the government and the public supported the Shusun family and the Meng family. It is precisely because of this that Jun The superiors will be deceived by them and determined to destroy the three capitals!"
"As the saying goes, 'it is difficult to offend when the public is angry, and it is difficult to achieve by single-minded desire'. Now that this is the case for both the government and the public in the Lu State, how can the family head and teachers force disobedience? Therefore... we have no choice but to tolerate it for the time being..."
When Shusun heard this, his heart couldn't help but move:
"Oh? What you mean is that... Shusun Zhouqiu has the support of the ministers and officials?"
Zilu said:
"Although this is not entirely true, it accounts for nine out of ten cases!"
When Uncle Sun heard this, he couldn't help but lowered his head and thought for a while.
But then he suddenly came back to his senses, raised his head and said:
"That's not right! Since Shusun is so capable now, why did he take the lead in falling to Liyi? Isn't this equivalent to cutting off his own arms?"
——
Chapter 671_Greedy Uncle Sunnoi
When Zilu heard his uncle's question, he couldn't help but sneered and replied:
"Oh, Master Shusun, are you pretending to be confused? Or do you really don't understand? When the Hou Fein Rebellion broke out in Zhiyi, Master Shusun should have been the one who witnessed it, right? Could it be that Master Shusun still doesn't know why the leader of the Shusun clan wants to Destroy the city of Li?"
"What's more, the reason why they made up their mind to take the lead in demolishing Li Yi was to put pressure on the Ji family! Now it is a national policy to destroy the three capitals, and since the Shusun family has implemented it, if the Ji family If you don’t follow closely, then you can see that you have ulterior motives!”
"Master Gongshan, you are now in Feiyi, and your life and death depend on your thoughts. How dare you talk nonsense here? As for what you said, Master Gongshan can send people to verify it one by one!"
After Zi Lu finished speaking, he saw that Gong Shan Buxiu kept staring at him and said with a smile:
"Haha, Zilu has been working hard on this journey, please go down and rest!"
Zilu knew that they must have another discussion, so he handed over:
"No! Zhong You will retire now. However...Master Shusun, my lord has one more question. He wants Zhong Yu to ask you face to face!"
At this time, Shusun Yu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked:
"Oh? What's the question?"
Zilu smiled mysteriously:
"The head of the family is asking, if Mr. Shusun can return to Qufu in the future and inherit the position of the head of the Shusun family, then...will he reconcile with my Ji family? Instead of being in trouble with my Ji family like he is now?"
When Uncle Sun heard this, he couldn't help but swallowed:
"Although he is the eldest son, he is still a concubine. It is too early to say it now!"
When Zilu heard this, he still sighed calmly:
"Think about it, wasn't Shusun Zhaozi also born from a concubine? And he was not the eldest son yet, so what does it matter? When Shusun Zhouqiu succeeded to the throne of the sect, he was still young, and many people were dissatisfied, just because of Yang Hu His support has continued to this day. Since Master Shusun is the eldest son, how could he be unintentional?"
"My lord sent me to Feiyi this time, firstly to protect the city, and secondly, to get in touch with Master Shusun. Now, the Shusun family has developed a grudge against the head of the family, so in the future, Uncle If Mr. Sun has the opportunity to return to Qufu, then my lord will help you succeed!"
When Uncle Sun heard this, he was doubtful, but he couldn't help but be startled.
It's no wonder. In fact, the reason why he is still stranded in Lu State is because he can't bear the seat of Zhang Shusun's clan leader?
Therefore, now that he heard Zi Lu say this, he was really excited!
Finally, Zilu smiled again, turned around, bowed towards Gongshan Buxuan and said:
"Master Gongshan, the head of the family has also made it clear that although Fei Yi is occupied by you, there are many people who do not want to follow the Ji family. However, for the Ji family, Fei Yi is an internal matter after all. As the saying goes, 'Brothers are jealous of each other. "The wall is not humiliating to the outside world.' If the Ji family does not exist, how will Fei Yi be attached to it? Therefore, I ask you to share the same hatred with the enemy and resist foreign humiliation together. Only in this way can we achieve a long-term plan!"
After Zilu finished speaking, he lowered his head, bowed and prepared to retreat.
Gongshan Buxuan opened his mouth, looking like he was hesitating to speak, but in the end he said nothing. I just ordered people to go down with Zilu.
After Zilu left, Shusunzuo immediately asked:
"Do you think...this person is trustworthy?"
Gongshan Buxuan was silent for a while, then just shook his head and said:
"It's hard to say...it's hard to say! We have to wait and see. However, since he keeps saying that he is here to keep Fei Yi, we can keep him for now."
Uncle Sun gritted his teeth and couldn't help but said:
"If what he said is true, then it would be better... it would be better..."
Uncle Sunzhe actually hesitated at this moment, and Gongshan Buhuang glanced at him sideways.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. Can I still eat you?"
Uncle Sunnoi's eyes were sharp, he breathed a deep sigh of relief, and said:
"It's better that we attack him unprepared, march into Qufu, take the monarch hostage, and eliminate the feud between Shusun and Zhouzhou!"
As soon as these words came out, Gongshan Buxuan almost choked on his own saliva.
"Ahem...you...what did you say?"
Shusun Yu had already said it, and he had no worries:
"Since the Ji family is so intentional, why don't we cooperate with the Ji family inside and outside? Directly lead the army into the capital and drive away Shusun Zhouchou and Mengsun Heji! In this way, wouldn't it be another miracle?"
"Moreover, what Zilu said before leaving was obviously implying that you should go to the Savior!"
Hearing this, Gongshan Buhuang narrowed his eyes, looked sideways at him and sneered:
"Oh, Shusun Zhe, don't think that I don't know what you are planning. You... I'm afraid you want to lend me Fei Yi's soldiers and horses to help you seize the position of the leader of the Shusun clan?"
Uncle Sunno was not embarrassed at all when he was told exactly what he was thinking. He actually smiled and replied:
"Haha, this is certainly a little thought, but this move is also a must for Mr. Gongshan! If Mr. Gongshan can also be the savior this time, will you worry about not being the second one in the future? Yang Hu?"
"At that time, I will be in charge of the Shusun family, and I will be able to take charge of the Ji family, and even control the government and become the minister of Lu. How can I not do such a good thing?"
Although Gongshan Buxuan was born as a barbarian and had a relatively rough personality, he was by no means a master who could be easily persuaded. He shook his head decisively and said:
"Confused! Now that I am in control of Feiyi and relying on Feiyi's solid city walls, I can still accomplish something! But if I lead the troops forward, wouldn't it be like throwing myself into a trap!"
Seeing that he still refused, Uncle Sun continued to persuade him:
"Hmph! A true man must act decisively in order to achieve great things! If you are like this, you only know how to rely on Fei Yi, do you want to become the second Gong Ruowei?!"
Gongshan Buxuan shook his head and said:
"This matter... both Nan Kuai and Yang Hu have learned from the past. What's more, I am not as good as Nan Kuai in virtue and not as smart as Yang Hu. I think it's better not to have any wishful thinking!"
Uncle Sunnoi disagreed:
"Your Majesty, your words are wrong! Although the Nankuai clan has been established in Fei Yi for three generations, after all, this person has great ambitions and few talents, and his employment is unclear! And Yang Hu, although he is a tycoon of the generation, does not understand the principle of 'a big tree attracts the wind'. Your Excellency, you only need to avoid it in the future. Why worry about these not lasting long?"
"Sir, if you continue to stop, you will suffer chaos!"
Gongshan Buxuan clasped his hands behind his back and thought for a long time.
Indeed, his current status can be said to be the pinnacle among retainers. With his background as a barbarian, it would be extremely difficult for him to advance further.
Even if he sticks to Fei Yi, in the end he can only control this small piece of territory, let alone how he can benefit his descendants.
However, if one goes by what Shusun Yue said, then the heights he and his family can reach are far beyond that!
Therefore, it is impossible to say that he is not moved at all.
However, at the same time, as an old Jianghu who has experienced many ups and downs in officialdom, he can naturally be more calm.
Therefore, despite the huge profits at hand, he became increasingly cautious.
"This statement... is reasonable... but how can we trust Zhong Yu's words? Who can be completely sure about the situation in Qufu? We will hold our ground for the time being! We will make a decision after learning more about it. Not too late!"
Uncle Sunnoi saw that Gongshan Buhuang was resolute, and because of his status, it was inconvenient for him to say more, so he had to give up for the time being!
