It is said that on this day, Lu Aigong had to talk to Old Master Kong on a whim. As he asked his master, "Zhongni, they all say that you are a saint and know everything, but when I ask you something, you may not be able to know."
Confucius said in his heart, "As far as you stupid person can ask any questions, it's not all trivial things." So he looked at the Duke of Sorrow, "Ask the Holy Father to inquire, and the subordinates know that everything is said and said." ”
Duke Ai looked at the master slylyly, "You guess If Emperor Shun ever wore a green hat." Confucius said in his heart, Aren't you, how can I know such a thing, and you are the king of a country, how can you ask such a childish and ignorant question? But he did not dare to express his dissatisfaction, so he was silent.
The Duke of Sorrow asked three times in a row, but the Master ignored him. So the mourning father clapped his hands and laughed: "I can't guess it, don't brag in front of me in the future." ”
Confucius looked at the expression of the duke of ai, who was a little depressed, but he could not let the duke of ai fool around, so he said with a little deep groan: "The ancient emperors wore civilian hats and round neck civilian clothes, but no matter what they wore, their political measures were to cherish life, hate torture and kill, like people to survive and hate killing. Therefore, the phoenix inhabits the woods, the unicorn is active on the outskirts of the capital, and the birds and beasts such as crows and magpies are also tamed by his weide. For no other reason than because he cherished life. As the king of a country, you do not consider the people's livelihood plan, but like women, you spread gossip and gossip news every day, which is not the way of the emperor. ”
The mourning father was suddenly embarrassed, this bad old man is really bad, which pot does not open which pot, he is indirectly scolding me, but Confucius is a saint recognized by everyone, no way, he had to bow his head and accept it with an open heart.
![Lu Aigong, the ruler of the State of Lu, turned a deaf ear to Confucius's words, and the ending was sad![fig]](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=)
