In this episode, the prosperity of Zhou aroused the jealousy of Hu, Marquis of the State of Chong. Hu made King Zhou of Shang suspicious of King Wen. Therefore, King Zhou ordered the imprisonment of King Wen in Youli. King Wen learned that his son had been killed. In his grief, he suddenly realized the Way of Heaven and Earth.
#Confucius recalled that he had continued to teach his disciples the doctrines of Classic of Changes when they were trapped somewhere between the State of Chen and the State of Cai.
The two sages both came to understand the Way of Heaven and Earth at the most difficult time of their lives. At that moment, Fu Xi, King Wen of Zhou and Confucius were spiritually interconnected across time and space.
The land of Kun is vast and can accommodate all kinds of things.
If King Wen has a good body,
the people will be at peace.
Just like what Zhou Yili said,
the land is Kun.
A gentleman should have a good character.
King Wen has been in power for many years.
He has been diligent in governing the country.
Under his rule,
the country has been prosperous.
The people have been healthy.
The country has been prosperous.
However, the prosperity of Zhou
has also aroused King Shangzhou's suspicion.
It has also aroused the jealousy of the Chong people.
Your Majesty.
Qi Bochang is dissatisfied with you killing the nine marquis and the evil marquis.
He often used this matter to teach his son
that he should teach his son to be kind and merciful.
How dare you!
The nine marquis and the evil marquis openly disobeyed me.
They were executed.
It's a shame.
Does Qi Bochang mean that I'm cruel and ungrateful?
Your Majesty.
When you were fighting for the throne,
Qi Bochang gave the people a little tax to attract people's attention.
He also raised the old people well to fight for fame.
The virtuous people joined the nobles.
He wants to replace you.
He wants to replace me.
The nine marquis and the evil marquis in the three palaces
are the ones I have been ungrateful to.
That's why they are rebelling against me.
Qi Bochang wants to go to them.
Your Majesty, you can't do that.
The Zhou State is guarding the west.
Qi Bochang is the leader of the nobles in the west.
He has great prestige.
If he goes out rashly,
I'm afraid the nobles will be unstable.
The world will be in chaos.
Qi Bochang's kindness is like a bird's nest.
It shows the virtue of the late king of Shangtang.
Your Majesty should reward him.
The late king of Shangtang destroyed Xiajie and built Shangcao.
You said he was the late king.
Then who is Xiajie?
I dare not.
Your Majesty, please spare my life.
Your Majesty,
how can such a person
have your position in his heart?
Chonghouhu,
you are a liar and a traitor.
Your Majesty,
he is still saying that Qi Bochang is a traitor.
Guards.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Take him away.
Kill him.
Yes, Your Majesty.
King of Zhou,
you are cruel and brutal.
You killed the ministers.
You are going to destroy the state.
You are a fugitive.
Burn him.
Qi Bochang will replace you sooner or later.
Order.
Arrest Qi Bochang
at once.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Qi Chang,
you are a free man.
You bribed the people.
You didn't expect to fall into this pit, did you?
Chonghouhu,
you and I are both the leaders of a country.
If you don't focus on governing the country and governing the people,
you will only harm the people.
It's ridiculous and pathetic.
Your state and Shang are relatives.
If King of Shang trusts you
and you are on good terms with King of Shang,
my country will be destroyed
sooner or later.
I have a wolf on my left
and a tiger on my right.
Only when you are defeated and hurt,
can my country rise again.
I will replace Shang
and rule the country.
If you bribe people to do evil,
you will destroy yourself sooner or later.
If you don't respect the law,
you will be trapped.
Destroy myself?
Your father, Ji Li, was killed in a war.
King of Shang suspected him.
He was imprisoned until he died.
This is called destroying oneself.
You are so unkind.
You used your good name
to bribe the people.
Do you still want to escape?
You, Xi Bo, Ji Chang,
and the Ninth Marquis and the Seventh Marquis
were all killed by King of Zhou.
You still want to escape?
Dream on.
Even if I die in Youli,
my son, Bo Yikao, will still have a bright future.
He can still rule my country.
I have good news for you today.
Your talented eldest son, Bo Yikao,
is your accomplice.
Don't tell King of Zhou.
King of Zhou killed him.
Your talented eldest son, Bo Yikao,
was killed by King of Zhou.
You traitor.
You will die a terrible death, you traitor.
Traitor. Traitor.
Ji Chang, we are so close.
Just this little distance.
I swear, if I can escape,
I will kill you.
Kill me?
You won't have another chance in this life.
After you die,
I will send troops to destroy your country.
I will send your remaining sons
to accompany you and Bo Yikao.
This way,
you will be able to reunite.
You traitor. Traitor.
Heaven.
Bo Yikao.
My son, Bo Yikao.
I, Qiu Yiyou,
lost my beloved son, Bo Yikao.
Just like how I lost my two beloved disciples,
Yan Hui and Zhong You.
Bo Yikao followed the King of Wen,
followed the great Dao.
Yan Hui,
has been my teacher since I was young.
Zhong You,
was also the first disciple to follow me.
They followed me
to travel around the world,
and have been with me for 14 years.
We were already like father and son.
I never thought
that they would all leave me.
White-haired man,
black-haired man.
The pain of the King of Wen.
I am deeply moved.
If Heaven allows me to make a choice,
I would rather die as myself,
than to lose Yan Hui and Zhong You.
My deepest condolences.
After all the hardships,
you still stick to the great Dao.
Such a spiritualist pursuit
is hard to come by.
The King of Wen is a rebellious man,
but he never gives up.
It reminds me of the time
when you and Yan Hui and Zhong You
were trapped together in Chencai.
You were separated for 7 days.
You are right.
I was trapped in Chencai
with Yan Hui and Zhong You.
It was the spirit of the King of Wen
that motivated me
to stick to the great Dao in my heart.
Hui'er.
Yes.
As a man,
I must follow the will of Heaven.
I must be strong and unyielding,
to be a gentleman.
Be strong and unyielding,
to be a gentleman.
As a man,
I must follow the will of Heaven.
I must be kind and generous,
to be a gentleman.
Kind and generous,
to be a gentleman.
Master.
Are you alright?
I'm fine.
Master.
You have been starving for so many days.
You'd better stop being a gentleman.
You'd better take a rest.
Yes.
You should take a rest.
No matter how hard it is,
we still have a long way to go.
That's right, Master.
The harder it is,
the more we should do our best
to motivate others.
Yes.
Master said
to be strong and unyielding,
to be kind and generous,
to be a gentleman.
In your heart,
who is a gentleman?
The King of Wen is a gentleman.
The King of Wen was a gentleman.
His situation is much more dangerous than ours.
To be strong and unyielding,
to be kind and generous,
is the reason why we are here today.
Go.
Thank you.
Wu Er.
Don't lean on me.
Wu Er.
My kindest son.
Father-in-law.
I can't accompany you anymore.
You must take care of yourself.
I...
can't even protect my own son.
The King of Wen is a gentleman.
Father-in-law, you don't need to blame yourself.
Bo Yi Kang
will never regret it.
Wu Er.
Why?
Why did you follow your father-in-law's order
to kill your own son?
I did it for the sake of the people,
to advise the people
to be a gentleman.
I followed my father-in-law's teaching.
I followed my father-in-law's virtue.
When your grandfather was suffering,
I couldn't save him either.
Wu Er was killed.
Father-in-law.
Don't be too sad.
Don't blame yourself
for your father's death.
As a father,
I only want to contribute to the people.
I don't care about my own safety.
Are all gentlemen
really going to risk their lives?
To be born as a human,
shouldn't you be a gentleman?
The fate of the world is predestined.
A gentleman should strive to
have no regrets.
You sacrificed for the great cause.
It makes me understand
that a gentleman's struggle
is like a battle between heaven and earth.
A gentleman
strives to have no regrets.
It makes me understand
is like a battle between heaven and earth.
Yes.
Heaven
is a gentleman's struggle.
A gentleman's struggle
is like a battle between heaven and earth.
Yes.
Heaven
is like a gentleman's struggle.
I have no intention of harming the people or damaging the laws of heaven.
What should I do?
You should treat the world with kindness.
All things are in your power.
Treat the world with kindness.
All things are in your power.
Then I must be generous and generous.
What is the most generous thing?
You should treat the world with kindness.
All things are in your power.
Then I must be generous and generous.
What is the most generous thing?
It's the earth.
All things are in your power.
Then I must be generous and generous.
All things are in your power.
We are all raised by the earth.
We are all praised by the earth.
Gentlemen should be filial to the earth.
The virtue of a gentleman is like the earth.
The earth is smooth and smooth.
The virtue of a gentleman is like the earth.
You are here.
Thank you, ancestors.
