Lu Aigong
The twenty-sixth monarch of the State of Lu, Duke Lu Ai, surnamed Ji and jiang, during his reign, there were "three Huans" in the interior to control the government, and "Wu, Yue, Qi" and other powerful countries outside. Although the state-owned sage Confucius could not be reused, he eventually became a vassal of the State of Yue.
Lu Aigong once asked Confucius for advice, he said: "I was born in the deep palace, raised under the care of women, I never knew what sorrow is, nor did I feel sad, what is labor? What is fear? I'm less aware of what the danger is?
Lu Aigong asked Confucius for advice
Confucius knew that Lu Aigong belonged to the category of students who were "unteachable", so he perfunctorily said: "The question you said is worthy of the question of the Holy King, and I Kong Qiu is a small citizen, and I don't know how to answer you." Lu Aigong repeatedly pleaded, and said that he had no one to consult except Confucius.
Confucius saw that Lu Aigong had a sincere face, so he gave psychological counseling to His classmates, he said: "You go into the temple where the ancestral spiritual seats are placed, look at the tablets, think about them all passing away, you will find a feeling of sadness."
Confucius
You get up early in the morning, comb your hair, put on your top hat, go to the church, and think that if you don't handle something properly, it will cause trouble, and sad emotions will come in no time.
The upper dynasty listens to the government and handles the government affairs until the sun is west, and there are still a group of princes and grandchildren fleeing from various countries waiting for you, and you will find the feeling of labor.
Stepping out of the capital and looking out at the outskirts, the destroyed countries, the ruins that were once in ruins, are now new buildings, and the feeling of fear will arise spontaneously. The monarch is like a boat, the people are water, water can carry the boat, it can also capsize the boat, you think about this, the danger comes uninvited. ”
Lu Aigong did not listen to the good words of The Sage Kong, did things inconsistently, took the lead in destroying the etiquette system, and lost the "body of the human king", which eventually led to "the beginning of evil among the people of the country".
In the twenty-seventh year of the reign of duke Lu Ai, because he could not stand the rampant tyranny of the "Three Huans" family, he planned to use the power of the Yue kingdom to eliminate the "Three Huans", and the monarch of the Yue state was unwilling to help a monarch who had long lost the hearts of the people, so the Duke of Lu Ai had to flee to the country of Qi, and finally died in a foreign country.
