Confucius is China's most admired philosopher, so his ideas have never been given a cold shoulder?


Confucius' methodical government aroused the anxiety of the authorities of Qi, who felt that, if Lu became too powerful, it would be disadvantageous to their state. Hatching a plot to eliminate Confucius, they selected 80 beautiful women as assassins and sent them to Lu with 120 horses as gifts to the ruler of Lu. The ruler of Lu was obsessed with beauty, accepted gifts and ignored state affairs for three consecutive days, even messing up an important sacrifice.


At that, Confucius' disciples became very annoyed and persuaded their teacher to resign and leave the State of Lu. Greatly disappointed, Confucius thus decided to take their advice.
