Confucius was a famous sage in the history of the mainland and the founder of Confucianism during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Confucius was a fraternal master and cultivated many outstanding disciples with the concept of "teaching without class". Legend has it that Confucius had seventy-two very good disciples, known as the "Seventy-Two Wise Men," as well as three thousand talented and virtuous disciples, who were also talented. In fact, in history, Confucius also had a very good disciple, who was already famous in the world when he was sixteen years old, and various princely states rushed to invite him to come out as an official, but he chose to return to the mountains and forests and never lived. This person is Zi Cui, the son of Zi Lu.
Among Confucius's disciples, Zilu was a brave disciple and the disciple with the highest strength value under Confucius. However, the warriors inevitably died before the battle, and the brave Zilu eventually died in the struggle of the weiguo coup. At first, Zilu was more advocating force, coupled with too blunt personality, so it was incompatible with Confucius's crepe set, and the two had many stories. According to the "Chronicle of History", Zilu's name was Zhongyu, he was an atmospheric and straightforward person, liked to show off, once wore a rooster-style hat everywhere to play with majesty, and also wore a boar-decorated sword to show off. Because of Confucius's broad mind and supreme personality charm, Zilu eventually fell under Confucius's robe and became a loyal disciple of Confucianism.
Don't look at the difference between Zilu's personality and the low-key and elegant Personality of Confucius by 108,000 miles, but this does not prevent him from becoming a favorite disciple of Confucius. Zilu's bluntness and what to say did not disgust Confucius, on the contrary, Confucius also thought he was more cute. Zi Lu was born tall, mighty, and upright. In 480 BC, Zilu, who was already an official in the Wei state, was involved in the coup rebellion of Ku Yun, and eventually died under the sword. Zi lu's heroic sacrifice brought a great blow to Confucius, and this old man, who was already over seventy years old, cried bitterly after learning the bad news. It can be seen that the position of the Zilu in the heart of Confucius is very important.
However, it is gratifying that Zilu still has a thirteen-year-old son in his home, who has since become a world-famous and remarkable person. Zilu's name was Zhongyu, and his son's name was Zhongzi Cui. Thirteen-year-old Zhongzi Cui is like a little boy, as grumpy and jealous as a vendetta. After learning the news of his father's murder, Zi Cui will go to Weiguo to avenge his father. On this day, Confucius came to mourn Zilu, and Zi Cui told Confucius about the idea of wanting to avenge his father. Confucius said that Zi Cui was still young and should learn martial arts and then go to revenge after he grew up to have a chance of winning. Zi Cui felt that Confucius's words were very reasonable, so he put up with it and concentrated on learning martial arts.
Zilu's wife is called Yan Shi, and she is the younger sister of Yan Zhaozou. Yan Qi zou, also known as Yan Qiuyu, was also an apprentice of Confucius, and he was not only the brother of Zilu's disciple, but also the brother-in-law of Zilu. Yan was as wise and sensible as his brother Yan Yuzou, who taught her son to aspire to revenge and urged Zi Cui to practice martial arts such as swordplay and archery every day. After three years of hard training, Zi Cui is not only excellent in martial arts, but also knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and also knows the art of war. At this time, Zi Cui was already sixteen years old, born with the same stature as Zi Lu, with infinite strength and superior skills.
In 477 BC, after consulting with his mother Yan Shi, Zhongzi Cui decided to discuss revenge with Confucius first, and then go to Weiguo to find his uncle Yan Qiyu. After Zi Cui saw Confucius, Confucius saw that Zi Cui was born like a zilu, and his heart was sentimental and joyful, so he tested him a few words, and Zi Cui answered like a stream. Confucius saw that his son Cui Wenwu was both complete, so he wrote a letter to Yan Qiuyu, asking Zi Cui to take the letter to Weiguo to find Yan Qiuyu. Therefore, Zhongzi Cui took the sword and the letter and went straight to Weiguo.
Arriving at Weiguo, Zhongzi Cui found his uncle Yan Qiuyu. The scene of the uncle and nephew meeting is very touching. After reading Confucius's letter, Yan Qiuyu told his nephew Zhongzi Cui about the recent situation of Weiguo. Zi Cui found the father's enemy Fox to agree on a time duel, and Fox agreed, and the two agreed to a duel in the west of the city two days later. Two days later, Zhongzi Cui took the sword and the fox with a wooden halberd to duel in the west of the city. Although the fox is not good, but the courage is superior, and the sub-road with the force value can also be a battle; and although Zi Cui is sixteen years old, he is excellent in martial arts, plus he is bent on revenge for his father, so the force value has a bonus; the two masters fought for a long time, and finally Zi Cui slashed down the fox with a sword. Sixteen-year-old Zi Cui killed his enemy Fox and avenged his father.
After avenging his father, Zi Cui bid farewell to his uncle Yan Qiuyu and returned to LuGuo to live a life of non-world affairs with his mother. Because Zi Cui killed a traitor, and because he had to do it to avenge his father, his behavior was not condemned by no one, but became a good story. In this way, Confucius's sixteen-year-old disciple grandson Cui suddenly became a hot figure in the discussion of the princes at that time, and it was rumored that he was both literate and martial, and he was deeply familiar with the art of war, so the princes wanted to enlist this young talent under the account. As a result, every day, emissaries of the princes ran to the state of Lu to find Zi Cui, expressing the hope that he could be hired to go out of the mountains to become an official. Zi Cui, who saw his father die tragically for the official, hated being an official and refused all visitors.
But Zi Cui is too famous, and the people who come to him every day are endless. After a long time, Zi Cui really couldn't stand the harassment of these people, so he and his mother returned to the hidden mountains and forests, and did not come out of the army in their lives. Zi Cui, as the disciple of Confucius and the son of Zi Lu, was able to do such a thing, and it was not a disgrace to them.
